26、A Lesson Goes Viral

At the end of 2014, Tulsa, Oklahoma, sixth-grade teacher Melissa Bour received a friend request on Facebook from one of her students. She didn’t accept the request, but a quick browse through the girl’s friends list revealed the names of dozens of kids from her classroom. Many of the students’ Facebook pages were completely public, meaning even strangers could search through the kids’ personal photos and messages.

“I saw middle fingers, students dressed inappropriately, and extremely offensive language,” Melissa says. “It was disturbing.” When she brought up her discovery in class, the students thought is was nothing. So she created a post of her own.

With a bright green Sharpie, she wrote on a piece of paper in all caps, “Dear Facebook: My 12-year-old students think it is ‘no big deal’ that they are posting pictures of themselves... Please help me... [show them] how quickly their images can get around.” She put a picture of the letter on her Facebook page and asked people to share it.

In hours, it was shared 108,000 times across dozens of states and four countries. She deleted it after eight hours, but it continued to spread. “I wanted to show them that it’s on the Internet forever,” she says.

As she explained the results of her experiment in class, the students’ “eyes got bigger and bigger,” she says. “It scared a few of them into deleting their pages completely,” she says. Others have removed inappropriate posts and used privacy settings to manage their pages.

Her intention wasn’t to scare them off social media but to push them to be mindful of what they post. Melissa says, “I tell them, ‘just because everyone else is sharing doesn’t mean you have to.’”

【1】What did Melissa Bour find about her students’ Fackbook pages?

A.They were not accessible to strangers.

B.They contained improper messages.

C.They appealed a lot to the public.

D.They revealed nothing about the students.

【2】Why did Melissa put a picture of the letter on her Fackbook page?

A.To prove the potential threat caused by sharing something online.

B.To help students learn how to post something on Facebook.

C.To turn to the public for tips on proper use of Fackbook.

D.To scare her students off all social media.

【3】After Melissa told her students about the results of her experiment, they_______.

A.ignored her warnings completely

B.began to share something meaningful

C.took no notice of what others posted

D.realized the danger of social media

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.How a teacher became popular with her unique post.

B.How the students kept themselves away from social media.

C.How a teacher raised students’ awareness of Internet security.

D.How the students fought against their addiction to online games.

28、We all try to spend our days doing engaging things, but the reality is that there’s a lot of boring work which also must be done. Whether it’s washing the dishes, filing papers, entering data, or any of the countless dull yet critical tasks that keep our homes, organizations, and communities running, we all have less-than-exciting tasks we have to do. Of course it’s not always easy to get ourselves to stick to these tasks, even if we know we should. What does it take to persist (坚持) when work is boring?

Researchers have explored this question from many angles and studies have shown that people may persist longer when they monitor their progress, receive rewards, or when a task is made more fun. These findings have direct effects on how we design products and policies. For instance, companies are increasingly offering incentives to encourage employees to get more exercise, and managers are carrying out various game strategies to make employees’ work more fun.

Recent research by Harvard University, however, suggests that for tasks that don’t require a lot of attention, there may be a better approach. Researchers conducted a series of studies with over 2,000 participants and found that in many cases, people stop working on tasks earlier than expected not because they aren’t motivated enough, but because the tasks do not need enough attention.

Often, strategies designed to increase persistence will involve changing something about the work itself — but you can only make washing the dishes so exciting or mentally stimulating (振奋人心的). Rather than endlessly attempting to make boring tasks less boring, it can sometimes be more effective instead to pair these activities with other tasks that require more attention. This concept is called tangential immersion (切入式专注法).

Basically, the mind seeks to be engaged. We experience boredom when doing tasks that require less attention than we have available, and this leads us to quit those tasks too early. But if there is a second activity in which we can involve ourselves at the same time with the low-attention task, it can occupy that extra attention, reducing boredom and thus increasing persistence.

【1】In what circumstance may people continue with a boring task?

A．When they feel motivated.

B．When they want to kill time.

C．When they are full of energy.

D．When they lack attention.

【2】What does the underlined word “incentives” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Instructions.

B．Rewards.

C．Programmes.

D．Positions.

【3】Why did the participants quit their tasks earlier than expected?

A．The tasks were beyond them.

B．The studies took too much time.

C．The tasks demanded less attention.

D．The participants were not devoted.

【4】How can we focus on a boring task according to tangential immersion?

A．By making it more challenging.

B．By checking the progress repeatedly.

C．By refreshing the mind regularly.

D．By pairing it with a demanding one.

29、Everyone has heard the phrase, “giving up is not an option”. Many disregard it and do not believe in it. But this small yet effective phrase gives a strong message. There will always be something that interrupts or causes inconvenience in the journey to achieve the dreams. But that should not drive one away from the path that they are on. Fitting the context perfectly is the story of Ian William.

Popularly known as the “Social Golfer", Ian William is an accountant, lecturer, author, and a former golf player. He dreamed of playing golf at childhood. He would often observe players playing from a distance. He worked hard and changed his financial limitations. Then he began practicing in various golf matches. Due to his devotion and love for the sport, he picked up the techniques quickly and soon began playing as a professional. He also dreamed of participating in the Senior Golf Tour in the coining year.

However, in 1996, Ian was diagnosed with a tumor in the left part of his brain, which affected his hearing from the right side and damaged his balance nerve. He underwent two surgeries in 1997 with a smile and a hope to be cured. Although the surgeries were successful, Ian caught meningitis while recovering from it. Apart from being hopeful and optimistic, there was no other way Ian could cope with the situation.

Just as things had begun to normalize, in 2006, Ian's body was affected by a major stroke. This stroke numbed the left side of his body. His life-long dream of participating in a golf tournament could not be fulfilled anymore.

Ian took his time to recover and came back even stronger. He wanted to inspire millions with his journey and decided to share his experiences through a book. Ian has now published his 3rd book Still Crazy After All These Years in 2020.

【1】What docs the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．The option.

B．The message.

C．The barrier.

D．The dream.

【2】What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A．William showed talent in golf as a child.

B．The lack of money prevented him practicing golf at an early age.

C．William's road to becoming a professional golfer was smooth.

D．Talent and ambition made William learn quickly.

【3】Which of the following helps William face the illnesses according to the passage?

A．Doctors' comfort

B．Family's support.

C．Advice from the books.

D．Hope and optimism.

【4】What can we learn from William's story?

A．Move forward whatever happens.

B．Love wins over illness.

C．Seize every opportunity to learn.

D．Luck favors ready minds.

He was voted vice-president. “How come this new comer gets to be so popular?” I kept asking myself. ______ on a perfect October morning, I stopped him, “It doesn’t seem to ______ you — being short, I mean.” “Of course I mind being short.

But when I realized I was going to spend my life in this undersized skin, I decided to make the best of it and ______ on being myself.” “You seem to ______ well,” I admitted. “But being a tall girl is totally different. No boy would like to date a girl taller than him.”

“Why not let me be your manager? I can promise that you’ll soon be cool and popular.” he ______. “You sound like a soap commercial.” I said. “It’s funny you ______ say that.

31、Hey, man,

Good to hear from you again. And good timing. Your e-mail came in just as I was chatting with another friend, who’s ________ one of those rough periods at work. I wish I had better advice.

You asked, “How do you define success?” What a ________ question!

In 2005, I made only $22,500 a year in Rocky Mount. Another two sportswriters, Travis and Jeff, in their mid-20s too, had come to Rocky Mount to leave Rocky Mount. We went out to ________ our games, and sent the final pages to the printer by our 1:30 a.m. ________. On the best nights, we’d play Wiffle ball in the ________ until 4 a.m., laughing and joking.

We all left there within a year, as ________. Travis eventually ________ a big-time job covering the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Jeff became one of the most well-known NASCAR writers in the country, with almost 200,00 Twitter ________.

Last time Jeff and I met, he said something about Rocky Mount. “I didn’t ________ it then, but honestly, when I ________, it’s probably the best time I’ve ever had in my career.”

What is success? Buddy, I don’t know. On those late nights, it was making good contact on Travis’s curve ball. Now it’s running a tenth of a mile ________ than I did last week. A year ago, I wrote a story and no readers ________ me about it, which these days is a success. But nobody said anything nice ________, so is it a failure? I don’t know.

College students ask me for ________ every now and then Maybe that’s success. But last night an editor at a publication I’ve been dying to write for ________ with the murderous words “This just isn’t the right ________ for us”.

Maybe it’s beyond work. In June 2018, my dad visited and made it the whole weekend without falling while ________ to his wheelchair. To another person, ________ success might be a night sleeping on a bench without getting wet. You get the ________.

Maybe success isn’t ________ in achievements; maybe success is a smaller calculation, something more like what Jeff hinted at.

Thank you for writing, old friend.

34、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.

Although the serviced is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!，said that it was “the first step to【7】passwords”. He said it was a(n)【8】that it was increasingly hard for people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.

It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improving upon “password” by using “password” or，“tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 133tr3r5”.

“We are, for the most part，predictably【9】when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 【10】, and so do password crackers.

35、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

36、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Everyone has their own unique fingerprint; 【1】 makes fingerprints an ideal way to unlock smartphones. However, this may be 【2】 (safe) than we think.

Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.

The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.

The fingerprint scanners   【6】 (use) in smartphones are so small that they only read parts of fingerprints. So they have to take many scans of your finger or thumb (拇指) 【7】 they work properly. Smartphones also let users save several finger and thumbprints. Since a print only has to match one of the saved images 【8】 (unlock) the phone, the scanner is more likely to make mistakes.

Although the scientists have only tested their findings in computer simulations (模拟), 【9】 (worry) about the safety of using fingerprints are reasonable .They warn that the technology used to create artificial fingerprints is improving   【10】 (extreme) fast.

37、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.

The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

38、请认真阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

A good book can expose readers to a weird (不可思议的) place — a place which you could call art or fiction. I call it wonder, for those moments where a story — no matter how strange — has some semblance (样子) of truth, and then you’re able to believe it. It’s not just kids who can get there. Adults can too, and we get there when we read. It’s why people will take the walking tour of Bloomsday and see everything that happened in Ulysses. Or people visit Baker Street to see Sherlock Holmes’ apartment. We know these characters aren’t real, but we have real feelings about them.

There is a word called metafiction (超小说) and that’s just stories about stories. And one metafictive technique is breaking the fourth wall. If I am going to break down the fourth wall, I want fiction to escape and come into the real world.  I want a book to be a secret door that opens and lets stories out into reality.
