21、Researchers recently found that hackers took control of 300,000 home routers(路由器). Once your home router has been controlled, hackers could redirect your network to malicious websites controlled by hi-tech thieves who could then steal your online back details and other sensitive data. However, there are some simple steps you can take to protect your router.

Say no to 12345 passwords

First, never leave your router open without a password and make sure you change both your Wi-Fi and router login password from the default one it comes with. If you use the default password , this could give someone access to the router setup, which could allow them to change your router settings, including viewing any security keys.

Don't broadcast it

Make sure you don't show up in other people's wireless network scans. Know your network name so you can easily enter it into any devices you want to access that network. Other people do not need to know your network name. To prevent outsiders from seeing your network's name and attempting to join your wireless network, turn off broadcasting in your router's settings.

Invite only please

One way you can ensure no one else joins your network without your permission is to enable your router to only allow certain devices to connect, and ban all others. To do that you can filter by media access control (MAC) addresses.

Turn it off

This is a simple piece of advice that can go a very long way in keeping you safe. Simply turn off your router when you're not using your network. If you're at work all day and no one's home, why keep it running?

Build a firewall

The firewall built into your router prevents hackers on the internet from getting access to your PC so it's always worth enabling it to help add an extra layer of security. However, it does nothing to stop people in range of your Wi-Fi signal from getting onto your network – and as said, a router in the wrong place means your Wi-Fi signal could reach pretty far.

For further protection, you should run software firewalls on the individual PCs on your networks.

【1】 If you use the default password, ______________.

A. your home router will be linked to some bad websites.

B. you will find it’s very convenient to surf the Internet

C. your home router will be changed for new settings.

D. you will fail to use your own login password

【2】 What should be done to shelter your wireless network?

A. To build a firewall into your router.

B. To think out a complicated login password and use it.

C. To shut off your router when you find it not safe.

D. To switch off broadcasting in your router settings

【3】 The purpose of the passage is to tell____________.

A. how to keep your Wi-Fi network secure

B. how to deal with your home router efficiently

C. how to locate the hackers on the Internet

D. how to prevent others from joining your network.

22、   If you are aiming to master anything quickly, you can learn from Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman. They offer practical advice you can use to improve your learning.

According to Einstein, improving your intellectual capacity should be fun and enjoyable —— happy learners are quick learners. In 1915, he wrote a letter to his 11-year-old son (Hans Albert) who was learning the piano and said:

“I am very pleased that you find joy with the piano. This and carpentry are in my opinion for your age the best pursuits, better even than school, because those are things which fit a young person such as you very well. Mainly play the things on the piano which please you, even if the teacher does not assign those. That is the way to learn the most when you are doing something with such enjoyment that you don’t notice that the time passes.”

To learn anything faster or better, choose topics you will enjoy — if you have control over what you are learning. Make the learning relevant. You should be able to answer the question “Why am I learning this?” at any point.

Richard Feynman won a Nobel Prize and always wanted to know more and to learn more. Known as the “Great Explainer”，he was famous for his ability to explain complex topics in simple ways.

The Feynman Technique, his approach to improving learning, features explaining or teaching what you learn to others. It can help you learn better and keep more of what you learn. According to Feynman, it is significant to have the ability to explain things simply — so simple, in fact, that you could explain it to an eight-year-old. Einstein agrees. He once said,  “If you can't explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”

For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. “While we teach, we learn,” said the Roman philosopher Seneca. Learners keep a greater percentage of what they learn when they explain or teach the concept to someone else, or use it immediately. Your ideas will never be more effective than your ability to make others grasp them. When you share, you remember better.

【1】Einstein wrote the letter to his son in order to _.

A.encourage Hans to play the piano well

B.share some useful advice on how to play the piano

C.support Hans' learning the piano with enjoyment

D.suggest Hans taking teachers* assignment seriously

【2】Which of the following is the characteristic of the Feynman Technique?

A.Teaching what you learn to others. B.Explaining your things thoroughly.

C.Choosing enjoyable topics. D.Understanding things well enough.

【3】Why is the Roman philosopher Seneca mentioned in the last paragraph?

A.To provide advice on how to teach concepts.

B.To illustrate the significance of teaching others.

C.To impress the readers with his meaningful quotes.

D.To show people’s exploration of concepts in history.

【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A.Secrets of Learning Faster.

B.Benefits of Teaching Others.

C.Contribution of Great Explainers.

D.Importance of Learning with Enjoyment.

23、   The phone rang. I waited for the answering machine to get it, but for some reason, it was not picking up. I sighed, annoyed because I knew the call was either going to be for my wife, Susan (she was the only one who received calls on the home line, and she left to take Alyce to school ten minutes ago), or it was the latest of 300 attempts to sell me something I had absolutely no interest in.

'Hello, ' I said, an edge in my voice. 12-year-old daughter, 'Mommy was just in a car accident. ' My heart stopped and then began pounding. 'Are you all right? ' 'Yes. ' 'Is Mommy? ' A deep sob. 'I don't know…I don't think so. Come quick. ' I rushed a few blocks to what looked like a shoot for a disaster movie. Fire engines, police cars, and ambulances were randomly parked in the street; helicopters circled. A city bus was on the wrong side of the road. In front of it were the smashed remains of Susan's car. Susan was pinned under the dashboard (仪表盘). There was no front windshield (挡风玻璃).

Alyce was standing on the corner crying, covered in tiny pieces of glass but uninjured. Inconceivable! Susan wasn’t so lucky. But she was alive. It turned out that she had broken nearly every bone in her body, and she would spend almost three months in the hospital.

More than two years later, Susan and I were at a musical event. Our director, Danny, rushed up to us. He said excitedly, 'There's a woman here tonight from one of the church choirs who you have to meet! ' He returned with an African American woman with a bright, glowing smile. She told us she lived in the apartment building by where the accident had happened. That morning, she had rushed to the street, still in her bathrobe, and seen Alyce standing by the side of the wrecked car, crying. She approached her, asking, 'Is that your mom in there? ' Alyce nodded, and the woman said, 'Let's pray together. '

Sweet, innocent Alyce looked at this woman wearing a cross around her neck and told her that she needed to call me, but her backpack with her phone was trapped inside the crushed vehicle. So the woman lent Alyce her phone. After the accident, she said, she had continued to pray for our family. We had our picture taken together, and as we were saying goodbye, she hugged us all warmly. We realized we had never been formally introduced, so she said to me, 'I'm sorry, I never got your name. ' I told her it was Doug, and she paused, as if maybe she hadn't heard me. I repeated, 'Doug, like Douglas. ' She looked at us and said, 'Wait, your name is Susan? ' Susan nodded. 'And your name is Douglas? ' The woman put her hand over her heart. 'Oh my goodness, ' she said. 'My name is Susan Douglas. '

【1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Both the author's wife and the daughter were not severely injured.

B.The author was calm when he heard about the accident.

C.The author was the only one who received calls on home line.

D.The author rushed to the accident like a shoot.

【2】What does the underlined word inconceivable refer to in the 3rd passage?

A.Innocent. B.Unconscious.

C.Incredible. D.Unfortunate.

【3】Why did the African American woman want to see the author's family?

A.They were from the same church choir.

B.She witnessed the whole accident and offered to help two years ago.

C.She shared the same first name with the author's wife.

D.She would like to talk about her experience and had a picture taken.

【4】What is the best title of the article?

A.The Bus Crash Angel B.The Unwanted Call

C.An Expected Crash D.A Fun Encounter

24、   “What is the biggest challenge of graduate school?” an undergraduate asked the discussion group of graduate students at an event I helped organize last summer. “Not letting the support from my community turn into pressure,” one group member responded.

That answer might have surprised some people. But I understood exactly what she meant. The speaker was an African-American woman. I am a member of a minority group myself, pursuing (追求) a doctor’s degree in chemistry, so her comment resonated (共鸣) with me.

Throughout my education, friends and family have expected me to take advantage of every opportunity I come across because I may not get the same chance again. Members of my community expect me to give outstanding performances everywhere I go because I represent them and our culture. This has been a great source of motivation, but also of pressure. And when I heard the member echo (重复) my experience, I understood that I needed to educate my community about how their comments made me feel and how to keep their support from becoming stressful.

Now when people in my community—always with the best intentions—say something that creates pressure, I tell them and we talk about it. This was a bit awkward at first. But they want to support me, so I need to give them the tools to do that.

Sometimes, friends and family ask me, “How soon can you get your degree?” As many students will agree, this question makes them feel bad. Now I respond by telling them that I prefer to be asked “How are you progressing in your program?” and I explain why.

All graduate students carry a weight of expectations from family, friends and community. Being aware of our needs and opening up lines of communication with supporters is a starting point for making the journey less stressful.

【1】How does the author introduce the topic?

A.By asking questions for readers to think about.

B.By presenting a situation that aroused her thought.

C.By quoting a famous saying.

D.By comparing different research findings.

【2】What does the author think of the response made by the discussion group member?

A.It is puzzling.

B.It is ridiculous.

C.It is reasonable.

D.It is surprising.

【3】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refers to?

A.A different culture.

B.A golden opportunity.

C.The author’s achievement.

D.Other people’s expectations.

【4】How does the author react to her friends and families’ questions causing stress now?

A.She tells them her thoughts.

B.She pretends not to hear them.

C.She refuses to talk to them again.

D.She argues with them about these questions.

25、Saddleworth Moor in the north of England is a deserted place. Though lying just a few miles from the city of Manchester, it feels remote. There is generally a strong wind blowing across the moor! It seemed almost ______to me, then, that anyone should be against the building of seven wind turbines （风力发电机） to produce clean, renewable energy. Surely this was the perfect place to situate them---basically dull, unattractive to tourists and--- ______---windy. Yet Saddleworth is becoming another ______in an increasingly confusing debate over wind farming and the future of the planet.

Typical of this ______ is hearing Professor David Bellamy leading the fight against wind farms. I had always thought of Professor Bellamy as an environmentalist and had made the ______ assumption that he would be a natural supporter of wind power. However, ______, Bellamy would be better described as a conservationist whose main aim is to preserve natural space for plants and animals from destruction, rather than a campaigner on climate change.

Bellamy, along with other opponents, has argued that the wind farms are in fact ______, and are only commercially feasible because they are so heavily subsidized （补贴）. This argument has been put forward by several newspaper commentators recently, who have then gone on to ______ the virtues of nuclear power. This is in the face of years of protests from greens who claim that nuclear power is both expensive and ______. And yet nuclear energy has recently been ______ by a leading green scientist, Professor James Lovelock, who was one of the first to draw attention to the problems of climate change. He argues that renewable energy such as wind simply cannot provide sufficient electricity for our energy needs.

But of course, it is ______to imagine that the good people of Saddleworth would prefer to see a nuclear power station on their doorstep rather than seven wind turbines. On average it takes six years to get planning permission for nuclear plants because of the inevitable protest. So what's the ______?

Bellamy suggests reducing ______of fossil fuels if people want to control greenhouse gases. Certainly, he has much support for this from environmentalists. However, just a few years ago, the government was forced to ______ increases in taxes on petrol （汽油） because of a huge public outcry which saw the country almost brought to a stop. And at the heart of those protests were those who said they ______ their cars and were being fairly punished by high fuel taxes. These same people reject wind farms because they see the turbines as something that spoils the countryside.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Dad and Madison were walking through the party store, gathering decorations for Madison’s upcoming birthday party.

“But I don’t want to invite Lucy Gilbert! I don’t like her!”

“Madison, you are being unreasonable. If every girl in your class is invited to a party but you, you’ll feel left out. It would be a big mistake to not invite Lucy to the party. ”

“She never even talks to me! ”

Dad sighed and moved down the aisle. “Lucy is a new girl in class. She just moved here a little over a month ago. Think about how that must feel. She doesn’t know one single person in the school. She left all of her old friends behind and now she has to try to make new friends. Your party will be a great chance for her to get to know everyone. ”

“No, it won’t. She will probably sit in the corner and not talk to anyone. Every day at lunch she sits all by herself. She wants to eat alone!" Madison shrugged and rolled her eyes.

“Madison, I’m done discussing this. You will invite every girl in your class, including Lucy Gilbert!"

On Saturday morning, the family blew up balloons and decorated the house cheerfully. Madison was dressed beautifully for the day, wearing her new blue dress. It was not typical of her to dress herself like this. She usually wore sports clothes because she loved to be outside riding her horse Star with a lead rope（缰绳）.

Madison greeted her friends at the doorstep, picturing various presents her friends would bring her. In the meanwhile, she was wondering whether Lucy would ruin the party if she came. Anyhow, all the girls she invited came finally, including Lucy.

The girls had a fantastic time by singing and dancing while Lucy sat in the corner silently alone. Later, all the girls gathered around the table as Madison opened her presents. Opening them one by one, Madison thanked her friends, with a bright smile on her face.
