The academy（學院） doesn't （不是...而是）teach（教） people（人，人們） to be（成為）__1__, but to “think（思考） like（象） hackers”—and hopefully（有希望地） to stay（逗留，保持） one step（步，步伐， 步驟） ahead of（在...的前面）__2__．
1. B professor：教授；hacker黑客：scientist：科學家；technician：技術員。本文的主題是黑客，因此hacker可能是答案。 空格所在的句子說“那家學院(黑客學院)不是教人們成為...”， 黑客學院當然與黑客有關系， 因此答案為B。
2. D her：她；him：他；us：我們；them：他們。空格中應該填入一個代詞。這個代詞是什么?它應該照應離它最近的指稱名詞。由于離它最近的指稱名詞是hackers，所以要用them。

3． A) actually(實際上) B) hardly（幾乎不）
C) scarcely （幾乎不） D) rarely（幾乎不）
The students（學生） are __3__ computer（計算機） security（安全） professionals（專業人員）．
3．A actually：事實上；hardly：幾乎不；scarcely：幾乎不：rarely：幾乎不。這四個詞填入后，所生成的句子在句法和語義上都是正確的。不過，意思是“幾乎不”的三個英文詞填入后，句子的連貫性稍差一點，因此它們不可能是合適的選擇。

4． A) over（在...之上， 遍及） B) onto（到...上面）
