Generally speaking, the single most important thing you can do to keep your computer safe is
make sure your operating system and apps are up-to-date. Because though it looks like nothing has
changed afterwards, below the surface every update is fixing bugs and holes that can be taken
advantage of by hackers. Modern computer systems are so wildly complicated that it is basically
impossible for developers to build a completely secure system. However much you test and try,
hackers and people with bad intentions will comb through and look for a bug or a hole they can use to
access your private data.
The most simple attack is a Bruteforce attack of simply going through and trying every single
combination of letters and numbers to, for example, guess a password. This is why you can only get
the passcode on your phone wrong three times before it locks up. Phishing isn’t so much clever
technology, but is a psychological trick to persuade you to hand over your details. If you browse a
website that has http and not https, and you’re on a public WiFi, anyone on the same network could
英语试题 第 3 页 共 10 页
{#{QQABSQIAggigABAAAAgCEwGYCEOQkBCAACoOhEAEIAAAyRNABAA=}#}
read every word being sent to your phone or computer. This is called A Man In The Middle attack.
Finally there is Malware. This is software through which hackers can run their own code on your
computer, then they can do whatever they like.
This used to be a really, really bad problem. But today, both Windows and Mac are more locked
down than they used to be. So though the threat of hackers is real and scary, the good news is that the
good guys are getting better at fighting them. But that doesn’t mean we should be contented. The best
way to keep your data safe is to remain careful where you click. And, of course, make sure all of your
apps are up-to-date, so they have all of the latest safeguards to keep you safe.
20. What happens after your operating system and apps are updated
A. Nothing happens to them. B. They become locked up.
C. Data in them are stolen. D. Bugs and holes are fixed.
21. Why does your phone lock up after three incorrect passcode entries .
A. To keep other people from working out the passcode.
B. To prevent you from falling for a psychological trick.
C. To pick up the information being sent to other devices.
D. To stop hackers from installing software on your phone.
22. How many means of attack are mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
23. What is the purpose of the passage？
A. To inform people of different approaches to hacking the Internet.
B. To remind people of the significance of updating apps and systems.
C. To appeal to developers to build an entirely secure computer system.
D. To blame hackers and those who have the intention to do damage.

For the Greek philosopher Celsus, red wine could be used to treat endless diseases, from
tiredness to fever and coughs. But despite its convenient healing powers, the grape, he told his
faithful readers, could bring about headaches. Now, researchers believe they have found the reason
why red wine causes such headaches.
“We think we are finally on the right track toward explaining this old mystery,” said Morris
Levin, the director of the Headache Center at the University of California, San Francisco. “The next
step is to test it scientifically on people who develop these headaches.” Red wine headaches are
different from hangover (宿醉) the morning after the night before. Rather than coming on after a long
session, they can strike 30 minutes after drinking only one small glass.
The researchers ran lab tests on more than a dozen chemicals in red wine. One stood out.
Quercetin (槲皮素), found almost only in red wine, turned out to be particularly effective at blocking
the enzyme (酶 ) that breaks down alcohol. This could be key to solving the mystery. With the
英语试题 第 4 页 共 10 页
{#{QQABSQIAggigABAAAAgCEwGYCEOQkBCAACoOhEAEIAAAyRNABAA=}#}
important enzyme suppressed, alcohol builds up in the bloodstream. At high levels, this causes
headaches, red faces and sweating.
According to the researchers, when some people drink red wine with even small amounts of
quercetin they can develop a headache. Why some are more affected than others is unclear. The team
now hopes to find out the effects of red wines with different quercetin levels.
Grapes make quercetin in response to sunlight, so grapes grown in plenty of sunlight can have
five times more quercetin than other reds. Processes like fining and ageing also affect quercetin levels.
“It will be potentially very helpful for people who drink red wine to be able to choose wines less
likely to cause headaches,” Levin said. “Also, winemakers may use our findings to reduce quercetin
in their wines.”
24. In what way are red wine headaches different from those of hangover
A. They come on after a long time.
B. They affect wine drinkers equally.
C. They occur within a short time.
D. They produce different symptoms.
25. What does the underlined word “suppressed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Blocked. B. Supplied. C. Increased. D. Supported.
26. What is the team going to focus on next
A. The cure for wine headaches. B. The reduction of quercetin.
C. The effects of quercetin amount. D. The way to solve hangover.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The background of the research. B. The importance of processes.
C. The way to produce quercetin. D. The applications of the findings.
D
The change caused by increased scientific funding during the 20th century is remarkable.
Thomas Edison electrified the world from his industrial lab at Menlo Park, and the Carnegie
Foundation was the major supporter of Edwin Hubble. Advances in science during the Second World
War—from the development of radar to the atom bomb—encouraged governments and companies to
increase their funding.
However, a growing amount of work shows that the reward has fallen even as more money is
spent on research. One explanation for this is that the way science is funded is out of date. The rate at
which funding applications are approved has fallen. Two-fifths of a top scientist’s time is spent on
things other than research, such as looking for money. Risky ideas are often put aside. It is time to
make another change.
The first step is to try new things. More money could fund promising people rather than specific
projects, encouraging researchers to take risks. Countries should also learn from the best practices of
英语试题 第 5 页 共 10 页
{#{QQABSQIAggigABAAAAgCEwGYCEOQkBCAACoOhEAEIAAAyRNABAA=}#}
others. American funders give over three times more to science than the European funders do.
Europeans might benefit from learning from others’ practices.
More important still is to find ways to measure what is working and what is not, and then adapt
accordingly. Governments might consider appointing leading scientists or chief economists to do the
data analysis in various scientific fields. One interesting idea is to keep a close eye on the projects
that they do not fund, and track how they perform.
None of this will be easy. Scientific funders say they want to experiment, but they also face
pressure to support research that can be easily explained, to keep politicians happy. In some cases
more money may be the only solution. Still, the economic returns to research are so large—at least
ten times the original investment—that fixing the system is well worth the effort. Like science itself,
the way of funding it must also progress.
28. Why does the author mention Tomas Edison in Paragraph 1
A. To praise the inventor’s achievement.
B. To explain the change with examples.
C. To compare scientific breakthroughs.
D. To transform the funding for science.
29. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. Most scientists are devoted to research.
B. Funding for research is less rewarding.
C. Funding applications get fast approved.
D. Scientists should look for more money.
30. What does the author suggest funders do
A. Support people with risky ideas. B. Invest money in specific projects.
C. Analyse the data to earn money. D. Let go of the unfunded projects.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward another change in science funding
A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.

We are all failures, sometimes. The emotional attack that follows failure can hang over you, if
you think about it for a long time. 32 Here’s how to deal with failure in a more positive way so
you can move on to your next challenge with renewed determination.
Listen to your emotions. 33 Focusing on your emotions, rather than making excuses for
your failure, might actually help you learn from the experience. In turn, it will contribute to your
putting more effort into a second attempt.
34 The opinions of others might only multiply or confuse your feelings surrounding a
failure. In fact, in many situations, only you know the full truth. If you can close your ears to others’
英语试题 第 6 页 共 10 页
{#{QQABSQIAggigABAAAAgCEwGYCEOQkBCAACoOhEAEIAAAyRNABAA=}#}
misinformed ideas, you’ll come to terms with failure more quickly and peacefully.
Lower the bar and be practical. 35 This feeling can lead to a negative cycle where your
confidence and motivation start to decrease. Super-slim stars with smooth, glowing skin that wear
fancy dresses only exist in the movies. This is not real life. Consider your own journey and ask
yourself: Have I really failed here Of course the answer is NO. What you need to do is change your
mindset. 36 You might find these smaller goals bring about more wins to celebrate along the
way.
A. Respond to failure in a more positive way.
B. Avoid those who are quick to judge your situations.
C. If you set unrealistic goals, you may often feel disappointed.
D. Your friends can be quick to take sides and offer unhealthy remarks.
E. This means admitting your feelings and sitting with them for a moment.
F. Concentrate on taking small, practical steps to improve an area of your life.
G. On the other hand, forgetting it may lead you to miss out on vital life lessons.

No two people are exactly alike, and even best friends disagree sometimes.
I still remembered the first time I met Karina at a summer camp, we got along so great. It was as
if we’d known each other forever.
I really liked plantain chip (植蕉片), which had little appeal for other kids. So when I noticed
some in Karina’s lunchbox as I sat next to her on the first day of the camp, I was surprised. Equally
surprised was Karina since plantain chips were her favorite snack.
“Well, then I guess today’s your lucky day,” she said, handing me the bag. “I have a big box
that’s taking up space in the cupboard. So, see, you’d actually be helping me out!”
“Well, in that case, thanks!” I laughed. “I am happy to help.”
And right then I knew that Karina and I were meant to be friends forever. Whenever we got to
pick a partner at camp, we picked each other. Whenever we had a break, we hung out together. And
the more time we spent together, the more we realized how amazingly alike we were. We both had
two adorable cats, we both had awesome and sometimes annoying younger brothers, we both liked
baking extra-creative cookies, and we both had the same favorite song.
Then something happened. The camp was next to a piece of beautiful land that had a bunch of
giant old trees on it. Whenever it was nice out, we’d get to eat our lunch at picnic tables that were
right by some of those trees. We’d feed squirrels and play with them. One day when looking up, we
spotted large numbers of holes in a trunk, which were made by woodpeckers (啄木鸟) to store nuts. I
fell in love with the amazing scene!
But somehow things got different when news came that those giant old trees would be cut down
to make room for a shopping center. It was like a stone with its waves and our friendship was on the
rocks.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We disagreed with each other and had a heated argument.
Several days later, again we were asked to pick a partner.

In order to arouse students’ passion for both science and art, our school recently held a
painting exhibition themed Science Fiction Painting—Our Future Home.
Staged in the school art classroom from January 5th to 7th, the exhibition attracted many
students and teachers, with a total of more than one hundred paintings from students on display.
Those masterpieces pictured vividly what our future home would be like with the development of
high technology.
The exhibition was a huge success. Everyone said they were impressed by the rich
imagination and creativity and they were looking forward to more similar exhibitions.

We disagreed with each other and had a heated argument. “That’s terrible! We have to stop
that,” I said, with images of fallen trees and homeless squirrels springing to mind. Hearing what I
said, Karina, looking me in the eye, insisted that a shopping center meant new jobs and that people
were more important than trees. Neither of us could convince the other. “You know,” Karina said
super seriously, “maybe we’re not quite as alike as we thought.” I sighed sadly. Maybe two people
with opposite points of view just were not meant to be friends, I was thinking. Several days later,
again we were asked to pick a partner. I cast a look towards Katrina, naturally and unconsciously.
When our eyes met, a feeling of relief and happiness welled up inside our hearts. We ended up
having more fun at the camp. And even now, a couple of months later, we still send each other
crazy pictures of our cats or our baking creations. Now I understand that no two people are exactly
alike, and even best friends can sometimes disagree. What’s important is that we respect each
other and agree to disagree. Unless a friend does things that are hurtful or mean, a friendship is
almost always worth keeping.
