All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year.Networks have been part of our life.Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备)has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it,while they are having a coffee,on a train,in a shopping mall or at a hotel.However,is this kind of public WiFi network safe?

Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密)methods are used.Therefore,they are safer than others.But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected,including addresses,emails,birth dates,phone numbers,passwords and so on.These open WiFi networks are really not safe,because it is very easy for hackers (黑客) to break into the operating system and get people's private information.

Most smartphones and laptops,by themselves,search and connect to WiFi networks.They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before.Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks.When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real,hackers can easily steal their private information.

So next time,when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks,please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.

42.Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network?   

A.Because it can provide useful information.

B.Because the owner of the network is polite.

C.Because it is free.

D.Because it is safe.

43.We can learn from the passage that   

A.not all the public WiFi networks are safe

B.none of the public WiFi networks is safe

C.in 2015more than 950million records were protected

D.there is no way to protect our private information

44.Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT   when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network.

A.our birth dates

B.our passwords

C.our phone numbers

D.our smartphones

45.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?   

A.Don't Use Public WiFi Networks

B.Why the Public WiFi Networks a Possible Danger

Students at a primary school in Fuzhou,Hast China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits.But some parents are strongly against the idea.They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores (杂亊).They think that the school should provide students with a proper education,not the chance to be school cleaners.

In fact,parents,schools and society play an equally (同等地)important role in developing the character of students.It is good for schools to give students such tasks,because few of the students will do them at home.Their parents want them to do homework only.

In recent years,some parents will    make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools.Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some even challenge the schools'teaching methods and management.As a result,many primary schools,especially those in big cities,do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks,fearing that they might get hurt.This is bad for the development of students'best qualities.

What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising.Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students'minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork.Also,it can make students'in﹣school experiences more meaningful.

How Much Can We Afford to Forget?

   In 2018, Science magazine asked some young scientists what schools should teach students. Most said students should spend less time memorizing facts and have more space for creative activities. As the Internet grows more powerful, students can access (获得) knowledge easily. Why should they be required to carry so much of it around in their heads?

   Civilizations(文明)develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary. In the Agricultural(农业的)Age, a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills. When societies industrialized, the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget. Nowadays, smart machines give us access to most human knowledge. It seems that we no longer need to remember most things. Does it matter?

   Researchers have recognized several problems that may happen. For one,human beings have biases(偏见),and smart machines are likely to increase our biases. Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective,but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process.In the process, human beings still decide on the correct answers.

   Another problem relates to the ease of accessing information. When there were no computers, efforts were required to get knowledge from other people, or go to the library. We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books, and what lies in our heads. But today, the Internet gives us the information we need quickly. This can lead to the mistaken belief﹣the knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along.

   In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence, we have easy access to smart memory networks where information is stored. But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily. The collapse of any of the networks of relations our well﹣being(健康)depends upon, such as food and energy, would produce terrible results. Without food we get hungry; without energy we feel cold.And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age.

   We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills.As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks, and can be found when we need them, perhaps they're not really forgotten. Still, as time goes on, we gradually but unquestionably become strangers to future people.

(1)Why are smart machines likely to increase our biases?   

A.Because they go off course in testing and scoring.

B.Because we control the training process on them,

C.Because we offer them too much information.

D.Because they overuse the provided answers.

(2)The ease of accessing information from the Internet   

A. frees us from making efforts to learn new skills

B. prevents civilizations from being lost at a high speed

C.misleads us into thinking we already knew the knowledge

D.separates the facts we have from those in the smart machines

(3)The word "collapse" in Paragraph 5 probably means"   ".

A.a sudden failure

B.the basic rule

C.a disappointing start

D. the gradual development

(4)What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?   

A.To question about the standards of information storage.

B.To discuss our problems of communication with machines.

C.To stress the importance of improving our memorizing ability.

D.To remind us of the risk of depending on machines to remember.

Sometimes it seems that time is flying. Perhaps it doesn't need to feel this way. Our experience of time can be possibly changed. By understanding the psychological (心理学的) processes behind our different experiences of time, we might be able to slow down time a little.

   One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we're exposed(接触) to new environments and experiences. The law is caused by the relationship between our experience of time and the amount of information our minds process. The more information our minds take in, the slower time seems to pass.

   It follows, then, that we have different experiences of time in different situations. In some situations, our life is full of new experiences. Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down. In other situations, we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar(熟悉的). We become insensitive to our experience, which means we process less information, and time seems to speed up.

   How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.

   Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can expose ourselves to as many new experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and expose our minds to new information, hobbies and skills. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand (增加) our experience of time.

   Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an experience﹣to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts. For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with. Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass, traveling among them. This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has a time﹣expanding effect.

   To a certain degree, we can understand and control our experience of time passing. It's possible for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.

(1)According to the writer, we can expand our experience of time by   

A. going to bed on time

B. traveling to new places

C. having dinner as usual

D. printing the same materials

(2)What can we learn from the passage?   

A. Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information.

B. Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly.

C. We can take in more information by living through our senses.

D. We should build a stronger relationship between time and us.

(3)Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?   

A. Slow Down Time

B. Only Time Will Tell

C. Race Against Time

D. Time Will Not Come Twice

Say you're sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites."Oh,that game's easy.So not worth the time,"one of your friends says.The others agree.Although you enjoy the game quite a lot,not wanting to argue with them,you go along with the crowd.

    You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure(同伴压力),also called peer

influence.You will adopt a certain type of behavior,dress,or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your"peers".As a teen,you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas.

    We are all influenced by our peers at any age.For teens,as school and other activities take you away

from home,you may spend more time with your friends than with your family.As you become more

independent,your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.

    According to Dr.Casey from Cornell University,teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions

on their own and in situations where they have time to think.However,when they make decisions in the

heat of the momentor in social situations,their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers.In a

recent study,teen volunteers played a video driving game,either alone or with friends watching.The

researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were

watching,compared with when they played alone.This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around,or in situations where they are extremely angry.

    Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices,they can also influence us to make good ones.A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it,or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important.In fact,friends often encourage each other to study,or try out for sports.

    While we are always influenced by those around us,the decision to act or not is up to us.So when it

comes to decision making,the choice is up to you.

52.According to the passage,Dr.Casey probably agrees that teens   

A.like to play driving games with their friends

B.prefer situations where they have time to think

C.may take more risks when their friends are around

D.are slow in making decisions when they are on their own

53.The words" in the heat of the moment"in Paragraph 4 probably mean"   ".

A.when teens avoid possible risks

B.when teens trust their judgment

C.when teens lose control over their anger

D.when teens give consideration to situations

54.What can we learn from the passage?   

A.Teens are eager to be different from their peers.

B.Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults.

C.Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens.

D.Tees think it challenging to get good grades at school.

55.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?   

A.Peer Pressure:Is It Necessary to Deal with It?

It's a cold, grey Sunday afternoon in March. The British are all working in their gardens. They're digging, cutting leaves and planting new seeds(种子). By summer, their gardens will be full of bright colours.

   The British love their gardens. A British newspaper recently asked people for their opinions about them. Around 70% of the people felt it was important to spend time in the garden, and over 50% of these described gardening as the most enjoyable thing they ever did.

In the early twentieth century, however, gardening became a hobby. People bought different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens. Although roses, sunflowers and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens, they originally(起初) grew wild in other countries.

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi'an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码)."We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate(使产生)the codes, and in the end everything gets easier," said Guo."When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their homework everywhere using my computer or telephone."

    The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans (扫描) his students' QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.

    Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting. "We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun." said Tingting, a student of Guo's.

    "The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share." Guo said,"It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don't want my students to fall behind the times."

    However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it's unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their homework, which doesn't take them too much time.
