The academy（学院） doesn't （不是...而是）teach（教） people（人，人们） to be（成为）__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， 步骤） ahead of（在...的前面）__2__．
1. B professor：教授；hacker黑客：scientist：科学家；technician：技术员。本文的主题是黑客，因此hacker可能是答案。 空格所在的句子说“那家学院(黑客学院)不是教人们成为...”， 黑客学院当然与黑客有关系， 因此答案为B。
2. D her：她；him：他；us：我们；them：他们。空格中应该填入一个代词。这个代词是什么?它应该照应离它最近的指称名词。由于离它最近的指称名词是hackers，所以要用them。

3． A) actually(实际上) B) hardly（几乎不）
C) scarcely （几乎不） D) rarely（几乎不）
The students（学生） are __3__ computer（计算机） security（安全） professionals（专业人员）．
3．A actually：事实上；hardly：几乎不；scarcely：几乎不：rarely：几乎不。这四个词填入后，所生成的句子在句法和语义上都是正确的。不过，意思是“几乎不”的三个英文词填入后，句子的连贯性稍差一点，因此它们不可能是合适的选择。

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