Most young people are accustomed to having online profiles on their mobile devices, such as smart phones, pads, and laptops. These devices contain a significant amount of information about them and their friends and family, including contact numbers, photos and locations. Since they are exposed to cyber more frequently, young people need to be aware of cyber threats and have a good understanding of cybersecurity, which is the measures taken to protect systems, networks, devices, and programs from digital attacks.
Cybersecurity experts continually identify the use of strong, unique passwords as one of their top recommendations. However, because young people have been using passwords online for most of their lives, they might not have stopped to think about how unsafe their passwords actually are. Indeed, strong passphrases, passcodes or other features such as touch identification to lock their devices can help protect their information if their devices are lost or stolen.
Public wireless networks are widely used nowadays, however, they are not safe, which means that anyone could possibly see what you are doing on your laptop or smart phone while you are connected to them. Young people should limit what they do on public WiFi, and avoid logging in to personal accounts like email and E-pay. If needing a safer connection, they should consider using a virtual private network (VPN) or a personal mobile hotspot.
Finally, information on how to act online is important for the safety of young people. They should be taught that they should add " friends" on social media only if they know who he or she is. They should also be made aware that posting pictures of other people without their permission might get themselves into trouble.
Starting to use these methods and raising the certain awareness of cybersecurity at an early age can dramatically improve the security of a young person' s online life.
(1)、What is cybersecurity?(2)、What is the possible danger of connecting to public wireless networks?(3)、Read the following statement, underline the false part of it and explain the reason.Experts continually recommend young people to use passwords frequently because they lack security awareness.
(4)、Please briefly present what you can do to improve your cybersecurity. (about 40 words) -
8、 根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you love food? Whether you' re a foodie or someone who just likes eating, there is so much to choose from. We know that too much of the wrong kind of food can be bad for our health, but for some people having a food allergy means that eating certain things can actually be harmful. Such cases may seem uncommon.
An allergy is caused by the immune (免疫的) system fighting substances in the environment. It means that people have to follow strict dietary restrictions, otherwise their lives may be put at risk. Allergy specialist Dr. Adam Fox says " if you look back over, say, 30 or 40 years… there are much more serious allergic problems around now than there were. "
Last year a teenager died after suffering an allergic reaction from eating a piece of bread containing peanuts. This led to a call for better food-labeling laws.
Research has found that this problem is particularly affecting children. Dr. Alexandra Santos from King' s College London says " food allergy now affects about 7% of children in the UK and 9% of those in Australia, for example. Across Europe, 2% of adults have food allergies. "
So what might be the cause? Dr. Santos says, the increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing them. She adds that possible factors are pollution, dietary changes and less exposure to bacteria, which change how our immune systems respond. She points out that it' s very common for migrants who move to another country to develop food allergies in their new location.
A. It seems to be more environmental.
B. A food allergy can affect you at any age.
C. Food allergies can cause life-threatening reactions.
D. Yet in fact, food allergies are affecting more and more of us.
E. More and more of them are having allergic reactions to certain food.
F. A lot of work is being done to try and find a cure, but that' s not easy.
G. We often hear about people having allergies to dairy products or to nuts.

Lessons in the Lost Art of Listening
When was the last time you listened to someone? And when was the last time someone really listened to you? I once asked people what it meant to be a good listener. The typical response was a blank stare.
Of course, technology plays a role. People find phone calls interrupting them, preferring text or wordless emoji. Besides, schools and colleges rarely offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. You can join clubs to perfect your public speaking, but who attempts to achieve excellence in listening? The loud unpleasant mixture of sounds of modern life also stops us from listening.
Generally, listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say is related to you. It' s not about merely holding your peace while someone else holds forth. Quite the opposite. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond—the degree to which you facilitate the clear expression of another person' s thoughts and, in the process, have a clear mind of your own.
Good listeners ask good questions. They engage in exploring the topic, not to divert attention. There are curious questions like " Wouldn' t you agree…?" or " Don' t you think…?" These questions have strong tendencies. They will greatly influence the other person to change his or her view. And you' d better stay away from some personal questions like " What do you do for a living?" or " What part of town do you live in?" Just try to find out what excites people. Ask about the last movie they saw or for the story behind a piece of jewelry they' re wearing. Also good are expansive questions, such as, " If you could spend a month, where would you go?" Research indicates that when people who don' t know each other well ask each other this type of question, they feel more connected than if they spend time together achieving a task.
Because our brain can think a lot faster than people can talk, be careful with the tendency to take mental side trips when you are listening. Smart people' s attention is easily taken away by their own runaway thoughts. They may also assume they already know what the other person is going to say.
The reward of good listening will certainly be more interesting conversations. Researchers have found that attentive listeners receive more information from speakers, even when they don' t ask any questions. We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. The gentle voice of a mother and the criticism of a boss both ultimately form and shape us. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.
(1)、One of the factors that influence listening is that ____.A、our confidence in listening is decreasing B、our speech creates a lot of noise around us C、listening skills are seldom taught in school D、texting causes a better effect than phone calls(2)、What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A、Why the art of listening gets lost by itself. B、Why effective methods are used in listening. C、How people make themselves well understood. D、How people can regain the lost art of listening.(3)、According to the author, what should people do when they are listening?A、Avoid being absent-minded. B、Come up with curious questions. C、Focus on the speaker' s personal information. D、Try to find common interests with the speaker.(4)、What can be inferred from the passage?A、Listening and speaking deserve equal attention. B、Good listeners maximize the benefits for themselves. C、Bad listening ultimately contributes to people' s failure. D、Listeners' clear mind facilitates speakers' expression of thoughts. -

Photo Research
" If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of better stuff. " Photographer Jim Richardson shared it with others. He spends a great deal of time doing photo research, looking for great locations to shoot.
Seeing a wonderful place is bread-and-butter photography—it' s just part of the job. Getting there is only half of any great photograph' s story. The other half is how the photographer prepares to capture the subject once in front of it. It is believed that groundwork is part of photography, as essential as knowing exposure and lighting or recognizing the decisive moment to take the shot. Research sounds like a boring task for many photographers, while for others digging into a subject in advance is part of the pleasure.
Philosophically, photographers seem to divide along that line. On one side are those who desire only to be in the moment. On the other side are the planners. They would never dream of going out the door without a full list of how they' re going to approach the shoot. Actually, there is a third group nowadays. They just take photos of the whole scene and do all the creative work in Photoshop after the event. Most photographers do both: research carefully to prepare their schedule and then act in the moment once on site.
Photographers should do a lot of research in order to get ready for a photographic trip. This includes creating a file for each location they are due to visit. They start a file for each place and begin to make a list of the pieces of information. Knowing what the place looks like in advance is invaluable, so it is good to hit several Internet photo sites. Besides clueing them into the photographic possibilities of the location, this can also show what angles have already become overused and which they should therefore avoid. But photographers will also find angles they didn' t expect from locations they hadn' t imagined. Armed with these they will be better prepared to push the boundaries of what they expect.
" Above all, I' ll look for places and events that are seasonal and timeless. I open my mind to what might make a great subject for a picture," Jim said. " Most travelers tend to think only of places they' re visiting, without looking deeper into culture, history or meaning. I try to get in time with the rhythm (韵律) of the place and in tune with its melody (主调). But most of all I just want to be ready. If I' m ready, I can just about count on being lucky. "
(1)、What does the underlined word " capture" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A、Identify. B、Record. C、Arrange. D、Explore.(2)、What point does the author make about photographers in Paragraph 3?A、They are unable to decide on the best plan of action. B、It is possible for them to adopt flexible ways of working. C、The third group is not as imaginative as some of the others. D、Some of them refuse to try to understand the way others work.(3)、What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?A、Sound preparation is a must for a satisfactory photo. B、One should create photo sites in a photographic trip. C、Taking photos requires vivid imagination in advance. D、It is essential to do photo research in central locations.(4)、In the last paragraph, Jim states that ____.A、he feels good to visit those historical places B、he refuses to spend too much time in one place C、he is careful about choosing the right place to visit D、he likes to go to places that few people bother to visit -
11、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Nick Torrance, a junior in high school, suffers from muscular dystrophy(肌肉萎缩症), and attends school in a specialized wheelchair. The muscle disease prevents him from accomplishing many everyday tasks, such as carrying his books and putting things away in his locker. So he had a fellow student assigned to help him. But Amy Smith, the school' s occupational therapist(治疗师), thought that being able to do something simple like opening his locker on his own would be empowering.
Amy initially thought they would be able to buy a device to help. But searching online turned up nothing that could meet their needs—everything needed a keycode or some other physical action, things her disabled student couldn' t do. After the outside search for a method came up short, she looked within the school itself for an answer. Amy turned to the school' s robotics instructor.
The instructor, in turn, suggested that two of his most capable students take on the project: Micah Stuhldreher and Wyatt Smrcka. They took first place in a national robotics competition, so they were a natural choice to tackle the locker door problem with a robotics solution. Micah and Wyatt wasted no time getting down to work and for an hour each school day, the boys brainstormed, built, and rebuilt various versions of the device until they landed on the perfect solution one year later.
Like in any device development, it took a lot of trial and error for Micah and Wyatt to make something that would work for their target audience. For example, they initially built a locker-opening button, but Nick wasn' t strong enough to push it, so they replaced it with a sensor.
Now, between classes Nick steers his electric wheelchair to his locker and waves his hand over a sensor on the arm of the wheelchair. A few seconds later, the locker door swings open. Another wave closes the door. Nick can make it with ease—it may be a small thing, but it gives him a sense of independence.
(1)、Why did Amy Smith want a device?A、To increase her student' s confidence. B、To encourage cooperation at school. C、To inspire a robotics invention. D、To help treat a muscle disease.(2)、With a sensor in his wheelchair, Nick can ____.A、move around easily B、put his things away C、continue his schooling D、open and close his locker(3)、According to the passage, which words can best describe Micah and Wyatt?A、Caring and passionate. B、Talented and ambitious. C、Sensitive and brave D、Humble and warmhearted. -

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the animal shelter, Sarah walked through the rows of cages until her eyes landed on a small, trembling dog huddled (蜷缩) in the corner. " I think I' ve found the one, " Sarah whispered softly to herself as she looked into the dog' s sad eyes. This timid, abandoned dog had no idea that a journey of transformation with friendly people lay in store for him.
The shelter staff explained that the dog, named Buddy, had a difficult past and was very shy and scared. Sarah extended a hand, offering a soothing tone, " Hey sweetie, you must have a story to tell, but from now on, you' ve got a buddy in me. "
Bringing Buddy home was just the beginning of their journey, which was rocky at first for him. Everything was strange and new, causing him to hide under furniture and startle at every sound. Therefore, Sarah provided a cozy bed, delicious meals, and most importantly, heaps of love and comfort.
Slowly but surely, he started to emerge from his shell, wagging his tail tentatively and gazing at Sarah with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Under Sarah' s patient and loving guidance, Buddy flourished, even learning tricks and commands, and forming a deep bond with his new owner.
The journey of healing turned out to be a success. But Sarah had never expected it would bring about another one.
One day, while scrolling through social media, Sarah came across a heartwarming story about dogs being trained to assist children with autism (自闭症). Those children had social communication difficulties and had few facial expressions and gestures. Without hesitation, she inquired about the program and soon, Buddy was enrolled in training to become a certified therapy(治疗) dog. But she was unsure whether Buddy would be comfortable with the new challenge.
