We usually need to set passwords when we use computers and Internet. But not all the passwords are safe. In order to keep our accounts and personal information safe, we must learn how to make safe passwords. ‎ 13‎ ‎ ‎ How can you make your computer and Internet passwords safe? Experts have some tips for you. You'd better remember the tips and they are useful. Here are the tips. ‎ First, make your password out of capital letters. If your password is made of capital letters, it will be difficult for others to get into your account. It only takes a hacker 10 minutes to work out a sixletter password made of small letters. But it takes a hacker 10 hours to work out the same password in capital letters. ‎ Second, add numbers or symbols to your password. It may be much safer. Sometimes such a password is not easy to remember, but it is really safe. ‎ Third, never use personal information for passwords and use different passwords for different accounts. Experts say that a user should change his or her passwords every 90 days. In this way, hackers won't guess your passwords. ‎ ‎31. You should change your password________. ‎ A. Every 10 days　　　　　 ‎ B. Every month C. Every two months　　　 ‎ D. Every three months ‎32. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a safe password?‎ A. 901112 ‎ B. Liz287 ‎ C. LUCKY3 ‎ D. 432Ac%‎ ‎33. Where can this passage come from?‎ A. A dictionary. 　　 ‎ 13‎ ‎ ‎ B. A traveling guidebook. ‎ C. A magazine. 　　　 ‎ D. A science textbook. ‎ B I teach economics in a university three times a week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. ‎ His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before: every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day. I said, “I choose to be cheerful.”‎ ‎“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “Besides teaching here, I also teach at a college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago, I exited(离去) the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn't work. So I put my flashes on, took my books, and walked down the road to the college. As soon as I got there, I called AAA (美国汽车协会) and asked for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. ‘__△__,’ I replied, smiling. ‎ ‎‘Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day? What do you mean?’‎ ‎‘My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn't,’ I replied. ‘Instead, it broke down at the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I'm still able to teach my class, and I've been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class! If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient way.’”‎ I ended my story. In spite of the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be ‎ 13‎ ‎ ‎ asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. ‎ ‎34. The writer ________ when his car broke down that day. ‎ A. complained for a long time ‎ B. called AAA for help at once C. waited there for someone's help ‎ D. walked to his workplace ‎35. Which of the following can be put in__△__？‎ A. This is my lucky day ‎ B. There is something wrong with my car C. I'm just a little bit late for work D. It is terrible that my car breaks down ‎36. We can learn from the story that ________. ‎ A. we should learn to be positive in times of trouble B. it's important to keep your car in good condition C. teachers need special skills to give good lessons D. personal experiences can touch a person's heart C Indian scientists have designed a new device that they hope will solve one of the biggest problems with the use of solar energy. They call the device a solar tree. Solar trees have metal “branches” which are just from a tall pole at different levels. Each branch holds a solar panel. These panels have large metal boards that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. ‎ Daljit Singh Bedi is the main scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial ‎ 13‎ ‎ ‎ Research in India. Bedi says the shape of the solar trees makes it possible to fit more solar panels in a space than traditional systems do. ________. “It takes about four square meters of space to produce energy which may need 400 square meters of space,” he says. ‎ Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to power five homes. The solar tree will make it easier to provide solar energy for homes in cities. The trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas. Bedi says solar trees will collect more energy than normal solar panels on the tops of buildings. “This design makes the solar panels exposed more towards the sun,” he says. “And that way people are able to use 10 to 15 percent more energy.”‎ India has promised to reduce its greenhouse gas production. The country's promise depends heavily on increasing solar energy. The cost of solar panels has gone down in recent years. This has increased the possibility of applying solar trees in India. ‎ Amit Kumar is the senior director of the Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi. He says gaining access to land takes time and increases costs. He adds that it is still not clear how useful these new developments in solar power technology are. “Only when we put those trees on a large scale will we be able to get that answer,” he says. ‎ ‎37. We may probably read this passage in________. ‎ A. Culture Views　　　　　 ‎ B. Nature and Science C. storybooks　　　　　 ‎ D. the travelling guide book ‎38. Which of the following sentences can be put in the blank?‎ 13‎ ‎ ‎ A. We can see many “branches” in new solar trees B. This means less land would be needed to produce solar energy C. It's reducing India's greenhouse gas production now D. Fewer and fewer people will use it than traditional ones ‎39. What does the underlined word “This” in the fourth paragraph refer to (指代)?‎ A. The greenhouse gas production. ‎ B. The solar panels' cost going down. ‎ C. The new solar tree. ‎ D. The country's promise. ‎ ‎40. In the last paragraph, what do you think of what Amit Kumar said?‎ A. It is clear how useful these new developments in solar power technology are. ‎ B. When we see those trees, we will be able to get that answer. ‎ C. Lising the trees on a large scale, people will get the answer. ‎ D. Gaining access to land takes time and reduces costs. ‎ 四、词汇运用。(共15小题, 每小题1分, 满分15分)‎ A　用方框中所给词的正确形式填空。每词限用一次。每空限填一词。‎ seem, her, take up, sail, skill ‎41.

A　17. C　18. B　19. D　20. B ‎21. C　22. A　23. D　24. B　25. A ‎26. B　27. B　28. C　29. D　30. C 三、A　31. D 要点解析: 细节理解题。由最后一段第二句Experts say that a user should change his or her passwords every 90 days. 可知, 密码需要每隔90天更换一次, 也就是三个月更换一次。‎ ‎32. A 要点解析: 推理判断题。由文章第四、五段可知, 密码要加上大写字母, 还要加上数字和符号, 会比较安全。A项全是数字的密码不够安全。‎ ‎33. C 要点解析: 判断文章出处题。通读全文, 文章阐述了如何设置密码, 与字典、旅游导游手册、科学教科书无关, 所以可能出自杂志。‎ B　34. D 要点解析: 细节理解题。由第三段倒数第四句. . . and walked down the road to the college. 可知, 作者那天在去上课的路上, 汽车抛锚了, 他丢下汽车, 走路去上课的大学。‎ ‎35. A ‎36. A 要点解析: 主旨大意题。通读全文, 作者通过讲述自己的亲身经历, 告诉他的学生: 我们应该积极乐观面对遇到的困难。‎ C　37. B 要点解析: 判断文章出处题。通读全文, 文章介绍了印度科学家设计的一种希望能解决使用太阳能最大问题之一的新型装置——太阳能树。这类文章与自然和科学有关。‎ ‎38. B 要点解析: 填缺词缺句题。由空格后的句意“(这个装置)花费大约四平方米的空间能生产出可能需要400平方米空间的能源。”可知, 这意味着生产太阳能所需的土地将减少。故B项符合题意。‎ 13‎ ‎ ‎ ‎39. B 要点解析: 猜测词义题。由句意“近几年, 太阳能电池板的成本下降了。这已经增加了在印度使用太阳能树的可能性。”可知是因为太阳能电池板的成本下降增加了使用太阳能树的可能性, 故选B。‎ ‎40. C 要点解析: 推理判断题。由最后一段中Amit Kumar说的话: 尚不清楚太阳能技术的新发展有多有用, 只有当我们大规模地把这些太阳能树放在一起, 我们才能得到这个答案。可知, 大规模使用太阳能树来得到这个答案是有必要的。故C项表述正确。‎ 四、A　41. seemed　42. sail　43. herself　44. take up　45. skills B　46. lucky　47. success　48. real 49. nurse　50. sent　51. himself　‎ ‎52. difficulty　53. lonely　54. realize　55. longer 五、56.
