21、Over the next few years, we can expect logins to get much less annoying, as all of the major tech players are now on board with a new technology designed to eventually replace the humble password called the “passkey”.

And that could mean that we do away with passwords altogether. The way passkeys work is by turning your phone into something a bit like a wallet, which you can use to store membership cards to all of your apps and services. When you need to log in to a website, you’ll just have to tap a button on your phone and your passkey wallet will flash the right credentials (证件), letting you in without any trouble. And even if you’re logging in to a device that doesn’t have access to your wallet, when you type in your email address, the website will send a message to your phone to check your credentials.

Once passkeys are commonly accepted and widely used, they won’t just save us from having to remember passwords but, perhaps counterintuitively, logging in with a passkey will actually be significantly more secure than typing a password.

This is because it takes advantage of a technology called “public key” cryptography (密码术), which is one of the building blocks of the internet and is how computers have securely communicated with other computers for decades.

With a password, the website has to ultimately contain a database of everyone’s passwords to check against when you login. But with a passkey, when you create your account on a website, it will effectively create a brand new padlock and key. The website will keep the padlock — and only your phone will have the key.

Passkeys are going to make our digital lives even more secure, because they help guard against two common forms of digital attack.

First, it guards against data leak or leakages — situations where hackers or people who try to break into computer systems gain access to a database of passwords.

This is because, unlike most people who repeat their passwords, each passkey is unique. This means that even if the pizza delivery place is hacked, it won’t give away the same password that you use for your emails.

And secondly, passkeys make things much harder for “phishing” scams — when a website tries to trick you into thinking that it is really your bank’s website or similar, it can steal your login details.

These scams will no longer work as well, because passkeys have another mathematical trick up their sleeve: they’re always changing.

When you log in and your digital wallet has to send over an unlock code, the code it sends will only be valid or useful for a few seconds at a time — so even if a hacker does get hold of your key very briefly, 30 seconds later it will turn useless anyway.

So, next time you feel frustrated that you can’t remember your password, don’t worry too much. It won’t always be like this!

【1】What can you do to log in to a device that is inaccessible to your passkey wallet?

A．Tapping a button on your phone.

B．Using a face scan to unlock your passkey wallet.

C．Searching a database of passwords to find the passkey.

D．Checking message concerning the credentials in the email.

【2】The underlined word “counterintuitively” in the third paragraph means ______.

A．in line with what the institution has taught

B．contrary to what common sense would suggest

C．in accordance to what the instinct tells people

D．opposite to what is considered normal behavior

【3】According to the article, why are passkeys safer?

A．Because each passkey is the only one of its kind that guards against data leakages.

B．Because passkey wallet will flash the right credentials without bothering to check memberships cards.

C．Because passkeys can completely get rid of the possibility of login details’ being stolen by hackers.

D．Because “public key” cryptography contains an enormous database of passwords of every website user.

【4】The article is mainly about ______.

A．the inadaptability of passwords nowadays

B．the distinct features of passkeys nowadays

C．the difference between passkeys and passwords

D．the passkeys’ potential to replace passwords in the future

22、I’d like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn’t understand it. I didn’t like him anymore.

I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.

Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend’s wife had just left him.

We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.

If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.

【1】What is the influence of the incident mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A．It hurt his father’s feeling deeply.

B．It has puzzled the author ever since.

C．It left a deep impression on the author.

D．It made the author dislike dogs.

【2】Why did the author’s friend say harsh words to the author?

A．He was ill-tempered.

B．He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.

C．He was bothered by an unexpected visit.

D．They once quarreled and he couldn’t forgive the author.

【3】What’s the author’s advice to us?

A．Help those in need.

B．Look before you leap.

C．Respect for others is a kind of virtue.

D．Learn to put yourself in others’ shoes.

23、The Book Hive

Norwich

As well as being a favourite of celebrities, this is a front-runner for the nation’s prettiest bookshop, with an expansive glass shopfront and colourful art decorating the walls. It’s home to thousands of hand-selected titles, with an especially impressive art-and-design collection. Owner Henry Layte says, “The Book Hive is like an old-fashioned bookshop, but it’s also contemporary, stylish and fun!”

Mr B’s Reading Emporium

Bath

A huge part of the charm (魅力) of this place is Mr B himself — a former bank trader who gave it all up in 2006 to share his passion for the written word. His enthusiasm must be infectious because his staff are similarly cheerful, handwriting personal notes to the overflowing shelves. “You can drop in anytime,” says one employee. “And we pride ourselves on championing lesser-known titles.”

Barter Books

Northumberland

Under the roof of the Victorian Station lie the free-standing bookshelves, homely carpets and open fires that make up Barter Books. In addition to the thousands of second-hand titles in this bookstore, there are more than 40 glass cases housing rare books. Visitors can also see the Writers Mural-life-size literary figures painted high up on the walls. See if you can spot Charlotte Bronte and Charles Dickens.

Much More Books

Shropshire

Situated in the market town Much Wen lock, Much More Books is the epitome (缩影) of an antiquarian shop. Most surprisingly, historic buildings, an inclusive and well-thumbed collection, and even a book-finder service combine to make you feel as if you’ve stepped back a few centuries. Every type is covered, with lots of local-interest titles thrown in. You can even add to your music collection with their selection of vinyls and CDs.

【1】What do The Book Hive and Barter Books have in common?

A．They provide second-hand books.

B．They are decorated like homes.

24、   These days, nobody needs to cook. Families graze on high-cholesterol（胆固醇）take-aways and microwaved ready-meals. Cooking is an occasional hobby and a vehicle for celebrity chefs, which makes it odd that the kitchen has become the heart of the modern house. What the great hall was to the medieval castle, the kitchen is to the 21st - century home.

The money spent on kitchens has risen with their status. In America the kitchen market is now worth $ 170 billion, five times the country's film industry. In the year to August 2007, the Swedish furniture chain IKEA sold over one million kitchens worldwide. The average budget for a "major" kitchen overhaul in 2006, calculates Remodeling magazine, was a staggering $ 54,000, even a "minor" improvement cost on average $ 18,000.

Exclusivity, more familiar in the world of high fashion, has reached the kitchen: Robinson & Cornish, a British manufacturer of custom-made-kitchens, offers a Georgian-style one, which would cost 145,000 to 155,000 pounds -- excluding building, plumbing and electrical work. Its big selling point is that nobody else will have it: "You won't see this kitchen anywhere else in the word."

The elevation of the room that once belonged only to the servants for the modern family tells the story of a century of social change. Right into the early 20th century, kitchens were smoky, noisy places, generally located underground, or to the back of the house, as far from living space as possible. That was as it should be: kitchens were for servants, and the aspiring middle classes wanted nothing to do with them.

But as the working classes prospered and the servant shortage set in, housekeeping became a matter of interest to the educated classes. One of the pioneers of a radical new way of thinking about the kitchen was Catharine Esther Beecher, sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe. In American Human's Home, published in 1869, the Beecher sisters recommended a scientific approach to household management, designed to enhance the efficiency of a woman's work and promote order. Many contemporary ideas about kitchen design can be traced back to another American, Chris Frederick, who set about enhancing the efficiency of the housewife. Her 1919 work, House-Engineering: Scientific Management in the Home, was based on detailed observation of a wife's daily routine. She borrowed the principle of efficiency on the factory floor and applied mystic tasks on the kitchen floor.

Frederick's central idea, that "stove, sink and kitchen table must be placed in such a relation that useless steps are avoided entirely," inspired the first fully fitted kitchen, designed in the 1920s by Mangarete Schutter Libotsky. It was a modernist triumph, and many elements remain central features of today's kitchen.

A.It is where housewives display their cooking skills.

B.It is where the family entertains important guests.

C.It has become something odd a modern house.

D.It is regarded as the center of a modern home.

A.It is believed to have tremendous artistic value.

B.There will be no kitchen exactly the same anywhere.

C.It is manufactured by a famous British company.

D.No other manufacturer can produce anything like it.

【3】What was the Beecher sisters' idea of a kitchen?

A.A place where women could work more efficiently.

B.A place where high technology could be applied.

C.A place of interest to the educated people.

D.A place to experiment with new ideas.

【4】What do we learn about today's kitchen?

A.It represents the rapid technological advance in people's daily life.

B.Many of its central features are no different from those of the 1920s.

C.It has been transformed beyond recognition.

D.Many of its functions have changed greatly.
