Software testing, which is defined as the execution of a program to find its_____ _ _ _, is a vital part of the software . There are different types of testing, mainly, they are ___ __ __ _ or functional testing, which tests whether the ___ __ _ __ is the expected result with the __ ___ __ input; and ____ __ _ ____ (or glass box testing) which is performed to ____ _ __ problems with the_ ___ _ ____ structure of a program . Debugging is the process of analyzing and locating bugs when software does not behave as expected. Software testing is a much more ____ _ ______ means of identifying software __ _ ____. Therefore, debugging supports testing other than replacing testing.

Passage A

During initial days of computing, software was largely developed by small groups of people. When this software was to be maintained by another set of people, it used to be a nightmarish experience. When large commercial projects were to be handled, it used to be an almost impossible task to keep the time and budget under control, and projects used to get delayed and many projects were abandoned halfway. There was no systematic procedure for the software development; everything was done on ad hoc basis. This ad hoc approach led to the ‘software crisis'.

quantifiable approaches to the development, operation, and maintenance of software." that is, the application of engineering to software .

The computer science discipline concerns with developing large applications. Software engineering covers not only the technical aspects of building software systems, but also management issues, such as directing programming teams, scheduling, and budgeting.

For developing a software product, the development process is divided into different stages. A convenient way of splitting the whole process is to divide the development into the following five stages:

Requirements Analysis & Specification : define the system requirements in detail

Design : specify system architecture and modules in detail

Coding : produce source code

Testing : deal with unit testing and system testing

Maintenance: fix bugs, enhance features and adapt across platforms.

During initial days of the development of software, everything was done in discipline.

Passage B

A computer virus is a computer program that is created to make and spread copies of itself. The program may however also be designed to have other effects on the systems it infects, ranging from the annoying to the disastrous.

Virus attacks are growing rapidly these days. According to BusinessWeek, the 76,404 attacks reported in the first half of 2003 nearly match previous year's total number . As new antivirus tools are more powerful than before, the virus writers are getting a lot smarter with newer and creative ways to attack network systems. Let's first examine some common virus types:

Basic Virus - a piece of software code that is developed to attack computers and network systems via email or Internet connections. It quickly replicates itself and gradually attaches to files, programs or the hard drive.

Trojan Horses - This is a program that doesn't replicate when entering a system but can be effectively used to open 'back doors.' Trojan Horses allow hackers to take control over a particular system or to steal very important data.

Worm - this type of virus is able to spread itself automatically over the network from one computer to the next. During a worm attack, users' computers get infected without even having to click open email attachment or any program, etc.

Since it is very difficult to avoid the virus, your best defense is a powerful antivirus program. In order to fight with such viruses, the software vendors should focus on making their products more robust. This may ask for a trade-off between user-friendliness and security. In specific cases it may require line-by-line inspection, code retooling and even systems automation to defend the installed programs.

Passage C

The Internet, then known as ARPANET, was brought online in 1969, which initially connected four major computers at universities in the southwestern US . The early Internet was used by computer experts , engineers, scientists, and librarians. There was nothing friendly about it. There were no home or office personal computers in those days, and anyone who used it, whether a computer professional or an engineer or scientist or librarian, had to learn to use a very complex system.

The Internet matured in the 1970's as a result of the TCP/IP architecture. As the commands for E-mail, FTP , and telnet were standardized, it became a lot easier for non-technical people to learn to use the nets. It was not easy by today' s standards by any means, but it did open up use of the Internet to many more people in universities in particular. Other departments besides the libraries, computer, physics, and engineering departments found ways to make good use of the nets -- to communicate with colleagues around the world and to share files and resources.

In 1991, the first really friendly interface to the Internet was developed at the University of Minnesota. The University wanted to develop a simple menu system to access files and information on campus through their local network.

Since the Internet was initially funded by the government, it was originally limited to research, education, and government uses. Commercial uses were prohibited unless they directly served the goals of research and education. This policy continued until the early 1990's, when independent commercial networks began to grow.

A. computer B. operating C. menu D. application

5. Which statement is not true according to Passage C?

A. Many more people in universities began to use the Internet in the 1970s, but it wasn't as user-friendly as today's standards.

B. The restrictions to commercial uses changed as the independent commercial networks were not funded by the government.

C. Commercial uses were allowed for the early Internet if they directly served the goals of research and education.

D. The early Internet was logged in from home or office personal computers.

( 二 ) Translate the following paragraph into Chinese. （将下段文章翻译成汉语。）（共 10 分）

SQL Server is a RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) made by Microsoft. This means that the data is stored in two dimensional tables. RDBMSs all have tables called catalogs or dictionaries that contain information about the particular databases. Don't worry if that doesn't make sense. I like to think of SQL Server as the big brother to Microsoft Access. SQL Server is designed to allow thousands of users to access the database at the same time and is a true client/server database system. It is much more secure than Access. Rights can be assigned to individual users and administrators. For example you can setup one user that can only insert data in the database but cannot delete any.

SQL Server 是 Microsoft 开发的关系型数据库管理系统。这意味着数据存储在二维的表中。关系型数据库管理系统都具有被称为目录或字典的表，其中包含特定数据库的信息。如果不明白这一点也不用担心。我喜欢把 SQL Server 想象成 Microsoft Access 的老大哥。 SQL Serve r 被设计为允许数千用户同时访问数据库，并且是真正的客户机 / 服务器数据库系统，比 Access 更加安全。可以为个别用户和管理员分配权限。例如您可以设置某个用户只能在数据库中插入数据，而不能删除任何数据。
