When some people set a foot outside of their doors to drop litter,go to a social event or go for a walk,thoughts like “I hope I don’t see anyone I know” or “please don’t talk to me” may run through their minds.I’ve also said such things to myself.Sometimes the last thing we want to do is to talk with someone,especially someone new.
Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time Or are we just lazy,thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble
Communication is the key to life.We have been told that many times.Take the past generations,like our parents,for example.They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while some young people grew up staring at screens.
We spend hours of our days sitting on the screen.We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people.
Nowadays,we are so caught up in our little circle of friends—our comfort zone.We love it that they laugh at our jokes,understand our feelings and can read our minds.Most importantly,they know when we want to be alone.They just get us.
Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be—it is,as I said before,a trouble.It takes up so much energy,and at some point or another,it is too tiring.
But meeting new people is important.Life is too short,so meet all the people you can meet,make the effort to go out and laugh.Remember,every “hello” leads to a smile—and a smile is worth a lot.

Mass communication is a very broad field which includes advertising,mass promotion,political campaigns,public relations,mass education and even the way you interact with other people.It covers just about everything you do in your daily life.Some characteristics of mass communication are:communication,information overload,group effort and feedback.There are some more that are less often mentioned but are just as important as the ones that have been listed above.
The most basic feature of mass communication is interaction.Interaction takes the form of communication where you can interpret what someone is trying to say.For example,when a person says“How are you ” and you respond in a loud voice or in a concerned manner,it’s considered interaction.
Another characteristic of mass communication that you’ll come across is a large number of receivers.When communicating with a group of people,it is important to keep in mind that each receiver will bring different characteristics to the table when communicating.Different receivers will take up different topics and bring a different set of characteristics to the table.In some cases,you will need to communicate with many different types of receivers in order for your communication ideas to be fully expressed and taken into full effect.You should therefore consider the characteristics of your receivers when planning your communication strategies.
New media is also impacting communication.Each type of new medium has diverse ways in which it can deliver messages.You can make use of several types of communication in many cases and reach a wide range of target audiences.For example,you can use the Internet in order to communicate with your audience.As a result,the amount of information also in turn becomes too much for the human mind to process in a timely and effective manner.This overload is not only unsound,but it also tends to make people impatient,which finally takes the form of arguments and other types of exchanges that are based on facts,assumptions or personal experiences.However,although you may have to deal with some constraints,the Internet is still a very powerful tool that should not be ignored.

[A] Explain the importance of politeness.
[B] Explain the concept of interaction.
[C] Explain the characteristics of communication.
[D] Explain what body language is.
(　　)29.Why should we consider different receivers when planning communication
[A] Because communicators have many different characteristics on the dinner table.
[B] Because your ideas can be accurately expressed and play a role.
[C] In order to better improve your communication strategies.
[D] Because the receivers have different views on different topics.
(　　)30.Why does communication often take the form of arguments
[A] There are too many types of communication.
[B] People have different experiences.

Network-based technologies have become increasingly widespread,and they are now being used by countless individuals,professionals,and businesses worldwide.Despite their advantages,most network-based systems are highly at risk of malicious (恶意的) attacks.
The consequences of a malicious attack on network-based systems can be extremely harmful.For instance,an attack on a power plant network could leave millions of individuals and offices without electricity,while attacks on social media networks can lead to the exposure of user information.
To overcome the weaknesses of network-based systems,computer scientists worldwide have been trying to develop advanced intrusion detection systems (IDSs,入侵检测系统) that could help to identify malicious attacks,increasing a network’s safety.In recent years,machine learning (ML) algorithms (机器学习算法) have been found to be particularly promising for automatically detecting attacks and intrusions on a network’s functioning.
An important step in the development and training of ML-based IDSs is the selection of data features that a model can rely or focus on when making predictions.Ideally,by analyzing large datasets,researchers should be able to identify the most suitable features for solving a given task using ML tools,and this can also be applied to intrusion detection.
Researchers at Canadian University Dubai in the UAE have recently developed a new feature selection method that could enable the development of more effective ML-based IDSs.This method was found to perform remarkably well when compared with other commonly employed feature selection techniques.Using the features they identified as most important for intrusion detection,the researchers created a highly efficient ML-based detection system.
In the future,the feature selection method developed by the researchers and their findings could help the development of new,highly effective IDSs.In addition,the system they created using the features they identified could be applied in real-world settings to detect malicious attacks on real networks.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了IDSs (入侵检测系统)的相关技术和发展。
(　　)32.What does Paragraph 1 focus on about network-based technologies
[A] Their targeted users.
[B] Their popularity.
[C] Their potential risks.
[D] Their advantages.
(　　)33.How can IDSs increase the safety of networks
[A] By tracking malicious attacks.
[B] By starting anti-virus programmes.
[C] By sorting out user information.
[D] By recognising malicious attacks.
故选D。
(　　)34.What is the key to the development of ML-based IDSs
[A] Solving given tasks.
[B] Selecting reliable data features.
[C] Making accurate predictions.
[D] Analyzing large enough datasets.
(　　)35.What’s the purpose of the text
[A] To introduce a new technique for IDSs.
[B] To promote network-based technologies.
[C] To raise people’s awareness of network safety.
[D] To discuss ways to deal with malicious attacks.

How to be a safe and smart searcher
Some keywords will help to find better results.36.　　　　 If you want to find out about seagulls (海鸥),for example,search for “bird seagull” and not just “seagull”.Because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else,from a hotel to a documentary film.
Exact symbols can help you find what you’re looking for.If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence,for example,“seagulls are very clever”,type it between quotes(引号).37.　　　　 Avoid common words like “a” or “the” in a search.There are usually unnecessary.
Check your spelling.Make sure you spell every word correctly.38.　　　　 That’s because sometimes there are mistyped words existing.
Have a filter(过滤).It’s a good idea to filter your online searchers,especially when you are searching for pictures.39.　　　　 There is lots of filtering software available.
Reliability is very important when you are searching on the Internet.Always ask yourself,“Is this reliable ” 40.　　　　 Some websites are unreliable and some information is incorrect.Check your information on other websites before accepting it.
A.So add a filtering system to your computer.
B.Then only exact information will be shown.
C.Make sure that you’re using the safest search setting.
D.The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results.
E.Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search.
F.Don’t make the mistake of believing everything as soon as you see.
G.But finding the right information among thousands of websites can be a real challenge.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On my twelfth birthday,my mother handed me a square box,saying it was something I had wanted for a long time.Excitedly,I opened it to find a fluffy,white puppy (小狗) inside.
Overjoyed,I named her Snowball.I started to train Snowball right away,having her walk by my side on a leash(皮带).I decided to take her for a short walk down a nearby,quiet lane.
As we turned into the lane,we saw an old woman in her yard.She noticed my new dog and introduced herself as Alice,approaching us while dragging an aluminum canister(铝罐) on wheels.Sitting near her gate,she explained that the machine helped her breathe.I tried not to stare.
“What is this little one’s name ” she asked.
I picked up my puppy and placed her on Alice’s lap.“Her name is Snowball and mine is Jamie,” I replied.“I just got her for my birthday today!”
“It’s very nice to meet you,Jamie and Snowball,and a very Happy Birthday to you,” Alice said.Soon Alice had lost herself,snuggling(依偎) with Snowball.With Alice’s eyes closed,I felt it was okay to study her breathing machine.It reminded me of something out of a science fiction book.When I looked back at Alice,I saw her petting the calm dog and softly singing to her.As I watched,I saw tears rolling slowly down Alice’s cheeks.
I asked what was wrong,and she explained that holding my dog reminded her of the dog she had years ago.She then returned my dog,expressing her love for little dogs and hoping we would visit again.However,I thought to myself that I wouldn’t return,not wanting to see her with her scary breathing machine.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
　　I lay awake for a long time that night.
Paragraph 2:
　　The next morning I tied Snowball to her leash and took a turn into the lane where Alice lived. 核心素养提升(Unit 1)

When some people set a foot outside of their doors to drop litter,go to a social event or go for a walk,thoughts like “I hope I don’t see anyone I know” or “please don’t talk to me” may run through their minds.I’ve also said such things to myself.Sometimes the last thing we want to do is to talk with someone,especially someone new.
Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time Or are we just lazy,thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble
Communication is the key to life.We have been told that many times.Take the past generations,like our parents,for example.They seem to take full advantage of that whole “communication” idea because they grew up talking face to face while some young people grew up staring at screens.
We spend hours of our days sitting on the screen.We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people.
Nowadays,we are so caught up in our little circle of friends—our comfort zone.We love it that they laugh at our jokes,understand our feelings and can read our minds.Most importantly,they know when we want to be alone.They just get us.
Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be—it is,as I said before,a trouble.It takes up so much energy,and at some point or another,it is too tiring.
But meeting new people is important.Life is too short,so meet all the people you can meet,make the effort to go out and laugh.Remember,every “hello” leads to a smile—and a smile is worth a lot.

Mass communication is a very broad field which includes advertising,mass promotion,political campaigns,public relations,mass education and even the way you interact with other people.It covers just about everything you do in your daily life.Some characteristics of mass communication are:communication,information overload,group effort and feedback.There are some more that are less often mentioned but are just as important as the ones that have been listed above.
The most basic feature of mass communication is interaction.Interaction takes the form of communication where you can interpret what someone is trying to say.For example,when a person says“How are you ” and you respond in a loud voice or in a concerned manner,it’s considered interaction.
Another characteristic of mass communication that you’ll come across is a large number of receivers.When communicating with a group of people,it is important to keep in mind that each receiver will bring different characteristics to the table when communicating.Different receivers will take up different topics and bring a different set of characteristics to the table.In some cases,you will need to communicate with many different types of receivers in order for your communication ideas to be fully expressed and taken into full effect.You should therefore consider the characteristics of your receivers when planning your communication strategies.
New media is also impacting communication.Each type of new medium has diverse ways in which it can deliver messages.You can make use of several types of communication in many cases and reach a wide range of target audiences.For example,you can use the Internet in order to communicate with your audience.As a result,the amount of information also in turn becomes too much for the human mind to process in a timely and effective manner.This overload is not only unsound,but it also tends to make people impatient,which finally takes the form of arguments and other types of exchanges that are based on facts,assumptions or personal experiences.However,although you may have to deal with some constraints,the Internet is still a very powerful tool that should not be ignored.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了大众传媒的特点。

[A] Explain the importance of politeness.
[B] Explain the concept of interaction.
[C] Explain the characteristics of communication.
[D] Explain what body language is.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。由第二段中的“Interaction takes the form of...it’s considered interaction.”可知,举例子是为了进一步解释互动的含义。故选B。
(　　)29.Why should we consider different receivers when planning communication
[A] Because communicators have many different characteristics on the dinner table.
[B] Because your ideas can be accurately expressed and play a role.
[C] In order to better improve your communication strategies.
[D] Because the receivers have different views on different topics.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In some cases,you will need to...taken into full effect.”可知,我们计划交流策略时要考虑不同的接收者,是为了使自己的想法得到充分的表达和起最大作用。故选B。
(　　)30.Why does communication often take the form of arguments
[A] There are too many types of communication.
[B] People have different experiences.
[C] The new media is not perfect.

Network-based technologies have become increasingly widespread,and they are now being used by countless individuals,professionals,and businesses worldwide.Despite their advantages,most network-based systems are highly at risk of malicious (恶意的) attacks.
The consequences of a malicious attack on network-based systems can be extremely harmful.For instance,an attack on a power plant network could leave millions of individuals and offices without electricity,while attacks on social media networks can lead to the exposure of user information.
To overcome the weaknesses of network-based systems,computer scientists worldwide have been trying to develop advanced intrusion detection systems (IDSs,入侵检测系统) that could help to identify malicious attacks,increasing a network’s safety.In recent years,machine learning (ML) algorithms (机器学习算法) have been found to be particularly promising for automatically detecting attacks and intrusions on a network’s functioning.
An important step in the development and training of ML-based IDSs is the selection of data features that a model can rely or focus on when making predictions.Ideally,by analyzing large datasets,researchers should be able to identify the most suitable features for solving a given task using ML tools,and this can also be applied to intrusion detection.
Researchers at Canadian University Dubai in the UAE have recently developed a new feature selection method that could enable the development of more effective ML-based IDSs.This method was found to perform remarkably well when compared with other commonly employed feature selection techniques.Using the features they identified as most important for intrusion detection,the researchers created a highly efficient ML-based detection system.
In the future,the feature selection method developed by the researchers and their findings could help the development of new,highly effective IDSs.In addition,the system they created using the features they identified could be applied in real-world settings to detect malicious attacks on real networks.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了IDSs (入侵检测系统)的相关技术和发展。
(　　)32.What does Paragraph 1 focus on about network-based technologies
[A] Their targeted users.
[B] Their popularity.

[B] By starting anti-virus programmes.
[C] By sorting out user information.
[D] By recognising malicious attacks.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,该系统能够识别恶意攻击,提高安全性。
故选D。
(　　)34.What is the key to the development of ML-based IDSs
[A] Solving given tasks.
[B] Selecting reliable data features.
[C] Making accurate predictions.
[D] Analyzing large enough datasets.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“An important step in...making predictions.”可知,选择可靠的数据特征是该系统发展的重要步骤。故选B。

How to be a safe and smart searcher
Some keywords will help to find better results.36.　　　　 If you want to find out about seagulls (海鸥),for example,search for “bird seagull” and not just “seagull”.Because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else,from a hotel to a documentary film.
Exact symbols can help you find what you’re looking for.If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence,for example,“seagulls are very clever”,type it between quotes(引号).37.　　　　 Avoid common words like “a” or “the” in a search.There are usually unnecessary.
Check your spelling.Make sure you spell every word correctly.38.　　　　 That’s because sometimes there are mistyped words existing.
Have a filter(过滤).It’s a good idea to filter your online searchers,especially when you are searching for pictures.39.　　　　 There is lots of filtering software available.
Reliability is very important when you are searching on the Internet.Always ask yourself,“Is this reliable ” 40.　　　　 Some websites are unreliable and some information is incorrect.Check your information on other websites before accepting it.
A.So add a filtering system to your computer.
B.Then only exact information will be shown.
C.Make sure that you’re using the safest search setting.
D.The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results.

63.【答案】 turning
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,设空处应用非谓语动词,前面描述的事情和turn之间是主谓关系,因此设空处用现在分词turning表主动,故填turning。
64.【答案】 shifted
【解析】 考查动词的时态。and前后时态一致,由started可知,设空处的句子是一般过去时。故填shifted。

On my twelfth birthday,my mother handed me a square box,saying it was something I had wanted for a long time.Excitedly,I opened it to find a fluffy,white puppy (小狗) inside.
Overjoyed,I named her Snowball.I started to train Snowball right away,having her walk by my side on a leash(皮带).I decided to take her for a short walk down a nearby,quiet lane.
As we turned into the lane,we saw an old woman in her yard.She noticed my new dog and introduced herself as Alice,approaching us while dragging an aluminum canister(铝罐) on wheels.Sitting near her gate,she explained that the machine helped her breathe.I tried not to stare.
“What is this little one’s name ” she asked.
I picked up my puppy and placed her on Alice’s lap.“Her name is Snowball and mine is Jamie,” I replied.“I just got her for my birthday today!”
“It’s very nice to meet you,Jamie and Snowball,and a very Happy Birthday to you,” Alice said.Soon Alice had lost herself,snuggling(依偎) with Snowball.With Alice’s eyes closed,I felt it was okay to study her breathing machine.It reminded me of something out of a science fiction book.When I looked back at Alice,I saw her petting the calm dog and softly singing to her.As I watched,I saw tears rolling slowly down Alice’s cheeks.
I asked what was wrong,and she explained that holding my dog reminded her of the dog she had years ago.She then returned my dog,expressing her love for little dogs and hoping we would visit again.However,I thought to myself that I wouldn’t return,not wanting to see her with her scary breathing machine.

　　One possible version:
I lay awake for a long time that night.Snowball snuggled at my feet,softly snoring ,while my mind was anything but settled.Alice’s smiling face and the deep loneliness in her eyes kept replaying in my head.Although I really didn’t want to go back to that place with the noise of her breathing machine weighing me down ,a sense of responsibility and sympathy for Alice weighed heavier.I recalled how gently Alice had petted Snowball ,her soft singing still echoing in my ears.Seeing the tears roll down her cheeks made me realize how painful her past losses must have been.I decided to visit her again.
The next morning I tied Snowball to her leash and took a turn into the lane where Alice lived.As we approached Alice’s house,my heart started to race.I was still afraid to hear the unsettling sound of her breathing machine.But when I saw Alice sitting in her small yard,my heart softened.Alice’s eyes shone with tears as she gently petted Snowball .“Thank you,Jamie,” Alice said softly,her voice filled with gratitude .“You’ve made my morning so special.” I suddenly realized that sometimes giving a bit of time and care could bring great happiness to someone else.
