核心素养测评六 Module 6 The Internet and Telecommunications Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A ‎ ‎　　Google-one of the world’s outstanding tech companies-was hacked(袭击). It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+. Instead, it was a building. ‎ ‎　　Two cybersecurity (网络安全) experts hacked into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia, through Google’s building management system (BMS). One of them, Billy Rios, says, “My colleague and I have a lot of experience in cybersecurity, but it is not something that people couldn’t learn. Once you understand how the systems work, it is very simple. ”‎ ‎　　They found the systems on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. ‎ ‎　　In the case of the Google hack, the researchers had no nefarious purpose and just informed Google about what they found. ‎ ‎　　According to Mr Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50, 000 buildings currently connected to the Internet-including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection. ‎ ‎　　Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, “It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all the time. ”‎ ‎　　Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate(共同的) network. ‎ ‎　　There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq. “Energy savings are the biggest reason in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, ” he says. “It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% ‎ 16‎ to 50% in energy savings. ” But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again. ‎ ‎【文章大意】本文属于科普类说明文。主要讲了黑客利用网络攻击谷歌一整座大楼, 造成大楼管理系统瘫痪。‎ ‎1. How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Google’s building? ‎ A. By inventing a search engine. ‎ B. By using their work experiences in Google. ‎ C. By finding out weaknesses of Google’s BMS. ‎ D. By connecting their own software to the building. ‎ ‎【解析】选C。 推理判断题。由第三段和第 段谈到了Billy Rios和他同事发现了连接在搜索引擎Shodan上的大楼管理系统, 然后通过他们自己的软件进入了谷歌大楼。由此可以推知他们是发现了谷歌管理系统的漏洞才进入了谷歌。‎ ‎2. What does the underlined word “nefarious” mean in Paragraph 4? ‎ A. Ill. B. Obvious. ‎ C. Formal. D. Valuable. ‎ ‎【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据该句后面信息. . . just informed Google about what they found我们可知Billy Rios和他同事只是把他们所发现的漏洞告诉了谷歌, 由此推知他们进入谷歌并没有“恶意”。‎ ‎3. How does the author feel about the smart buildings’ energy savings? ‎ A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. ‎ C. Confused. D. Worried. ‎ ‎【解析】选D。作者态度题。由最后一段But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again. 信息告诉我们, 将大楼智能化管理, 可以节约能源, 但这会让大楼管理系统不安全, 如果这像一部好莱坞大片的话, 我们应该三思一下。这些信息充分说明了作者对此的态度, 那就是忧心忡忡。‎ ‎4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? ‎ A. BMS and Energy Savings B. Internet Attacks on Buildings C. Smarter Buildings by Design D. Hacked Buildings and IT Experts 16‎ ‎【解析】选 B。标题归纳题。作者首先谈到谷歌大楼受到网络安全专家Billy Rios和他同事的攻击, 然后作者谈到有5万座大楼包括研究机构等目前与互联网直接连通, 而且其中有2千座大楼没有密码保护, 将大楼与互联网连通, 主要是为了节约能源, 但这也带来了安全风险。由此可知B为正确答案。‎ ‎【知识拓展】佳词积累 ‎1. outstanding　　　adj. 杰出的; 显著的 ‎2. attack vt. 袭击 ‎3. advertise vt. & vi. 打广告 ‎4. platform n. 平台 ‎5. expert n. 专家; 行家 ‎6. colleague n. 同事 ‎7. experience n. 经验 ‎8. device n. 器具, 器械, 仪器; 装置; 设备 ‎9. identify vt. 确定; 鉴定; 识别 ‎10. inform vt. 通知; 告知 ‎11. currently adv. 当前 ‎12. protection n. 保护 ‎13.

Prof Young, a consultant surgeon at Southend University Hospital, said, “I am so excited 16‎ ‎ about this form of technology. ”Instead of people getting sick or dying because they are not picked up in time, this will allow us to step in earlier which will save lives and an enormous amount of money. “I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was — and signals a completely new example in the way we manage healthcare. ”‎ ‎　　The technology is the brainchild of Dr. Vishal Nangalia, a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He used AI to analyse a billion stored blood samples from 20 different UK hospital trusts dating back up to 12 years. Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill. ‎ ‎　　He found the technique forecast outcomes of patients with kidney problems with up to 95 percent accuracy. Traditional methods highlighting serious patient concerns picked up as few as 16 percent of patients who went on to die. “This gives us the opportunity not only to save lives but to prevent serious illness, making the health service not only safer but more efficient. ” Prof Young said, “Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier. ”‎ ‎【文章大意】本文是一篇科普类短文阅读。文章主要介绍超级计算机能够分析血样并预测哪些病人可能会患上重病, 每年可以挽救数万人的生命。‎ ‎5. What does the underlined word “screen” in Paragraph 2 mean? ‎ A. comfort. 　 B. treat. 　 C. spot. 　 D. nurse. ‎ ‎【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据第二段so doctors can take early action to prevent death or serious illness. 以便医生能够及早采取行动, 预防死亡或严重疾病, 可以猜测出, 人工智能将用于对高危病人进行“筛查”。此处screen意为“筛查”。故选C。‎ ‎6. How do supercomputers help save lives? ‎ A. By storing blood samples. ‎ B. By analyzing patients’ cases. ‎ C. By observing changes in blood cells. ‎ D. By assisting doctors with their operations. ‎ ‎【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第三段Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill.‎ 16‎ ‎ 可知, 计算机通过检测红细胞和白细胞的细微变化来评估血液检测结果。故选C。‎ ‎7. Why did Professor Young mention the Industrial Revolution? ‎ A. To show the influence of AI. ‎ B. To stress the importance of health care. ‎ C. To introduce the topic of supercomputers. ‎ D. To present the achievement he has accomplished. ‎ ‎【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第二段“I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was — and signals a completely new example in the way we manage healthcare. ” Prof Young认为, 人工智能在医疗保健领域的潜力与工业革命一样大, 以此类比, 说明人工智能在医疗领域的影响力。故选A。‎ ‎8. What do we know about the new technology? ‎ A. It helps patients recover earlier. ‎ B. It has helped save thousands of lives. ‎ C. It will promote the health service greatly. ‎ D. It is intended for patients with kidney diseases. ‎ ‎【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段“Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier. ” 可知, 这项技术将能够更早地治疗患者, 而不是坐等病情恶化, 从而推断, 人工智能这一科技帮助医生对疾病诊疗早预判, 早介入, 从而帮助挽救大量生命, 将大大促进卫生服务。故选C。‎ Ⅱ. 完形填空 ‎(2020·北京模拟)‎ You never know what nature has prepared for you as a gift.

Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression. ‎ ‎　　Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder ‎ 16‎ of another’s care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $100 dollar bill. ‎ ‎　　I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn’t have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—“I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend, ” she said, and we were both a bit teary. ‎ ‎　　I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I’d never used, and thought, “I’ll give that to my friend. ” I opened it, and inside, found $100. ‎ ‎【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文, 讲述了父母结婚时, 父亲送给母亲一枚1937年的王冠硬币, 让母亲时刻感到他的关心和爱。作者结婚时, 丈夫也送她一枚王冠硬币, 然后作者又运用这枚王冠硬币的影响(代表了另一个人的关心和爱), 送给一个经济困难的朋友一张百元纸币。‎ ‎1.
