第二节：完形填空（共15小题，每小题１分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出合适选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Famous Irish poet Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) once wrote: “Ah! Realize your youth while you have it.” He pointed out the important truth about how precious youth is in one’s 36 through life. However, the popular internet word foxi—or “Buddhist”—is 37 this rule by encouraging young people to remain calm and peaceful and 38 arguments as much as possible—in other words, to live like a Buddha.
The phrase was reportedly created in Japan in 2014 to describe young men who no longer want to start 39 with women or follow someone else’s life path. They prefer to stay in their own 40 world without being disturbed and care little about failure and success.
Now, Chinese internet users are 41 the phrase with other words to describe a similar thought. For example, “Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount—they don’t 42 class, but they don’t burn the midnight oil, either. There are also “Buddhist parents”, who involve little with their children’s lives and let them develop however they like—the 43 of “tiger parents”.
In this fast-changing and competitive world, it’s only 44 that people are going after a spiritual freedom. However, some would compare foxi with “denominational culture(丧文化)” —a phrase that describes young people who feel 45 and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their 46 to fight. They are 47 to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure simply because they have no ability to achieve success.
But no matter 48 , there is one thing that “Buddhist youngsters” should keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm attitude towards failure, but you should also be 49 about school, work and life.
50 , Wilde also wrote: “Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new feelings. Be afraid of nothing.”
36. A. journey B. trip C.travel D. tour
37. A. supporting B. challenging C. making D. explaining
38. A. face B. avoid C. solve D. cause
39. A. sorrow B. happiness C. studies D. relationships
40. A. gray B. terrible C. peaceful D. silent
41. A. pairing B. understanding C. describing D. inventing
42. A. take B. enjoy C. attend D. skip
43. A. similarity B. sameness C. opposite D. viewpoint
44. A. natural B. strange C. disappointing D. embarrassing
45. A. hopeful B. courageous C. faultless D. aimless

47. A. learning B. struggling C. begging D. pretending

Chinese people are, quite rightly, proud of their food. However, when foreigners like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food, their impression of it is different to what you might think.
Growing up in the UK, the Chinese food I was used to eating was food I now recognize as being from Guangdong. For example, a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet and sour sauce, probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants(移民) to the UK have come from Guangdong. You can tell, because when most British people try to copy the sound of Chinese, they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people—hearing the real Putonghua is sometimes a shock to British people who have grown up thinking it sounds completely different!
British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing, though. Chinese-American chef Ken Hom has been on British TV for 30 years, and he told BBC Food: “Chinese food at the beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork, mainly. Most Brits had the unchangeable view of Chinese food… Now you are seeing more local Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Guangdong food.” Similarly, to most Americans, Chinese food doesn’t go too far past orange chicken and fortune cookies, but more Chinese local dishes are becoming successful, especially in big cities like New York.
Attitudes have not quite changed completely, though. Many foreigners who live in China will be familiar with this question from a relative back at home: “Have they given you dog yet?” Yes, perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture, many people believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat. And of course, some people do eat dogs, which to Americans is like “eating a member of one’s family” according to Vision Times. Also, Chinese people eat many other things people in the West do not—chicken claws, duck heads and some animals’ organs.
But what do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food? You’ll be glad to know that in my experience, the impressions have been very good.
53. Why are some British people surprised when they hear the real Putonghua?
A. Because it sounds too funny to believe.
B. Because they all find it hard to learn.
C. Because it’s different from what they hear.
D. Because nobody has been to China before.
54. What does chef Ken Hom think of the present Chinese food?
A. Popular. B. Richer. C. Tastier. D. Best.
55. How does Paragraph 3 develop?
A. By giving examples. B. By making inferences.
C. By analyzing. D. By reasoning.
56. What can we infer from “Have they given you dog yet?”?
A. Foreigners don’t like eating dog meat at all.
B. Chinese hate dogs so they often eat them.
C. Chinese eat everything including dog meat.
D. There are differences between cultures.
C
The UK’s largest coffee seller, Costa Coffee, has promised to recycle half a billion coffee cups a year by 2020 to deal with plastic waste. The move, which means recycling the same number of cups it puts onto the market, would account for a big percentage out of the 2.5 billion takeaway cups thrown away across the country every year.
Though marked as recyclable, most of paper coffee cups end up on landfill(垃圾场) or being burned due to the plastic lining(涂层) used to make them waterproof. By paying waste collectors to take coffee cups to certain places, Costa hopes to increase the rate at which cups are recycled. Finally, all a customer will need to do to make sure their cup avoids landfill is throw it into a standard recycling bin.
Started following the Environmental Audit Committee’s report recommending ministers take action to deal with coffee cup waste, the campaign has pushed for action from governments and businesses and promoted possible solutions. Starbucks has promised ￡7m to develop a “fully recyclable cup” following pressure from campaigners, while Waitrose, a supermarket, has planned to stop using disposable(一次性的) coffee cups from its stores by autumn.
The company has entered into a partnership with five national waste collectors – Veolia, Biffa, Suez, Grundon and First Mile – that between them cover public spaces across the UK including hospitals, universities and transport hubs. The coffee company is also working with paper factories to make sure their products are recycled effectively. James Cropper, for example, has plans to upgrade 500 million cups a year to create plastic-free packaging. By building more partnerships with waste contractors in every area, Costa means to hit its half a billion mark within two years.
With one report showing the number of takeaway drink cups thrown away in the UK is set to rise by a third by 2030, and the government recently failing to tax some coffee to discourage cup use, it falls to businesses to act on the huge amount of waste from their products.
Commenting on the announcement, Environment Minister Therese Coffey said: “Congratulations to Costa on taking this significant step to help coffee lovers do the right thing and increase recycling. We all have a responsibility to our environment and this is a significant step by a British business which should increase the number of disposable coffee cups we recycle in this country.” “We want to help companies become plastic free and through our 25 Year Environment Plan we are putting in place the aims to encourage all of us to play our part in ending the pollution of plastic waste in our natural environment.”
57. What’s the text mainly talking about?
A. Coffee companies will produce less to go green.
B. A policy will be set to reduce the paper pollution.
C. A coffee seller is planning to recycle coffee cups.
D. A ban on the usage of coffee cups is carried out.
58. According to the passage, why does Starbucks put so much money into the move?
A. It is indeed a method of advertising its production.
B. It volunteers to take an active part in the move.
C. It is encouraged to take action by Waitrose.
D. It is likely to be forced to do so by the move participants.
59. Why does the passage mention James Cropper in Paragraph 4?
A. To tell consumers not to use paper cups any longer.
B. To show the move made by Costa is effective.
C. To promote plastic-free packaging in the near future.
D. To suggest Costa is to develop business with the factory.
60. What does Therese Coffey think of the move by Costa?
A. Interesting. B. Meaningful. C. Selfish. D. Impractical.
D
A new web standard is expected to kill passwords, meaning users will no longer have to remember difficult logins(登录) for each and every website or service they use.
The Web Authentication (WebAuthn网络认证) standard is designed to replace the password with tools that users already own, such as a security key, a smart phone, a fingerprint scanner or webcam. Instead of having to remember long characters, users can authenticate their login with their body or something they have, communicating directly with the website through Bluetooth, USB or NFC.
“WebAuthn will change the way that people access the Web,” said Jeff Jaffe, CEO of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the body that controls web standards. One example of how WebAuthn will work is that when a user visits a site, they put in a user name and then get a message on their smart phone. Tapping on the message on their phone then logs them into the website without the need for a password.
WebAuthn promises to protect users against phishing attacks(钓鱼攻击) and the use of stolen information as there will be nothing to steal, the authentication sign is produced and used once by their special tool each time the user enters.
“After years of increasingly serious data and password being stolen, now it is the time for service providers to end their dependency on easily-attacked passwords and use phishing-resistant FIDO Authentication(身份认证联盟) for all websites and apps,” said Brett McDowell, CEO of the FIDO Alliance, one of the bodies pushing the new standard.
WebAuthn should also help people use special login details for each and every service they use, instead of using the same login and password for every site, which many people still do, leaving them further attacked if one site is hacked(黑客攻击).
The W3C has moved WebAuthn to what’s called the “candidate recommendation” stage – the last-but-one step before it becomes an approved web standard – inviting sites and services to begin using it. The web standards body announced that Google, Microsoft and Mozilla had been devoted to supporting WebAuthn, meaning that all major web explorers except Apple’s Safari will use the new standard.
“While there are many web security problems and we can’t fix them all, relying on passwords is one of the weakest links. With WebAuthn’s solutions we are removing this weak link,” said Jaffe.
Several sites and services already use similar methods to enter, including Google and Facebook, which can both be entered using a USB security key. But a single cross-platform, cross-service standard approved by the W3C will mean that many more sites and services will be able to kill the password as the login method.
WebAuthn is the top of many years of work and the change will not happen overnight. But as it increasingly seems unavoidably that our email or other online services will get hacked into, removing the password is an important step in improving online security and making using sites and services easier.
61. What’s the purpose of the new Web Authentication standard?
A. To create a way to login in place of the traditional password.
B. To help users to improve the way of inventing the password.
C. To make netizens visit a site much faster and more smoothly.
D. To inform readers of a new tool against phishing attacks
62. What of the following statements is TRUE?
A. WebAuthn will work without a user name at all.
B. WebAuthn can ensure its all information safe.
C. Users’ data and passwords used to be easily stolen.
D. The authentication sign can be used repeatedly.
63. What does the underlined part “which many people still do” mean in Paragraph 6?
A. They change their passwords when using a computer system.
B. They enter the same login and password on different websites.
C. They copy information from the web in the same way as before.
D. They worry about being attacked while surfing the internet.
64. According to Jaffe, web security problems_____________.
A. have been solved completely at present
B. are often connected with hacking and phishing
C. will disappear one day with the WebAthn
D. may probably be caused by unsafe passwords
65. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. WebAuthn is the product at the key point through longtime efforts.
B. WebAuthn will change people’s way of using computers sooner or later.
C. Emails are safer ways for people to send and receive information.
D. Removing passwords will surely end the risks caused by hacking.
第 Ⅱ 卷（共 40 分）
第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个比较恰当的单词。
注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。
If you want to make a great first impression—and why wouldn’t you—you know there are basic steps you can take: you should smile, make eye contact, talk less than the other person, and ask questions about him or her. Anyone can do those things.
But what you might not know is that if you think other people are going to like you, they usually will. As research shows, interpersonal warmth explains the scene: study participants who expected to be accepted were sensed as more likable. (when you think other people will like you, you act in a more natural way—which then makes people like you more since we tend to like warm, friendly people.)
All of which sounds great, but when you’re shy or insecure, you might believe that other people will like you. When you’re not familiar with the setting or do not feel comfortable, it’s a lot easier to believe people don’t like you.
So how can you convince yourself that people will like you? Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and commit to taking a few steps that ensure almost anyone will like you.
1. Give a sincere compliment(称赞).
Everyone loves praise, especially since no one gets enough praise. Show interest by asking questions. But go past, “What do you do?” Ask what it’s like to do what the person does. Ask what’s hard about it. Ask what the person loves about it. You’ll soon find things to compliment.
2. Focus on letting people talk about themselves.
People love to talk about themselves.
Research shows approximately 40 percent of everyday speech is spent telling other people what we think or feel—basically, talking about our subjective experiences.
By helping people talk about themselves, you’re seen as a great conversationalist. In fact, you say very little. Even if you haven’t succeeded in making people fully understand you, it is OK. And in the process, you also make other people feel better about themselves, and that makes them like you.
That’s another win-win.
3. Change one word.
Think about the difference in these statements:
I had to go to a meeting.
I got to meet with some great people.
I have to interview some candidates for a job.
I get to select a great person to join our team.
No big deal, right? Wrong. We like to be around the people who have enthusiasm and motivation.
Keep in mind choosing the right words also affects how you feel. Don’t say, “I have to go to the gym.” Say, “I want to go to the gym.”
4. Show a little weakness.
Great teams are often led by people willing to admit weaknesses and failings.
Want to make a great first impression? Don’t try to impress. Instead, be humble. Admit your mistakes. Laugh at yourself.
When you do, other people won’t laugh at you. They’ll laugh with you.
And they’ll immediately like you, and want to be around you more.
Common sense If you want to make a great first impression, you are (66) ▲ to smile, make eye contact, (67) ▲ more than you talk, and ask questions about the other person.
Interpersonal warmth principle If you think other people are going to like you, they usually will, so you act more (68) ▲ and make yourself liked more since everyone tends to like warm, friendly people.
When you’re in an unfamiliar setting or feel (69) ▲ , it’s a lot easier to assume that people (70) ▲ you.
(71) ▲ for being likable ●Everyone loves to be (72) ▲ , especially since no one gets enough praise. Show interest by asking questions, you’ll soon find things to compliment.
●By helping people talk about themselves, you’re seen as a great conversationalist even when you say very little. Maybe you needn’t (73) ▲ all of your ideas across.
●We like to be around (74) ▲ and motivated people, so keep in mind choosing the right words also affects how you feel.
●Admit weaknesses and failings, other people will laugh with you (75) ▲ of laughing at you.

认真阅读下面的图表与文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Significant numbers of high school students are receiving additional assistance from tutors. That requires a measure of time, commitment and sometimes a lot of money.
Tutors may be good for improving test scores, but they may harm a lot if students become overly dependent on tutors. Tutors’ role should be one of assessment, monitoring and assistance, not to take over and perfect. Tutors may be used to “bridge the gap”, but the responsibility stays on the student to take an active role in mastering the content and skills required for success.
I know kids who refuse to open their textbooks before the tutor gets in the house. Now I want to ask you a question: are you improving your study skills and developing learning intelligence with the “help” of your tutors?

Nowadays high school students are paying more for being tutored. While tutors may help with the short-term goal of achieving higher grades, the disadvantages overweigh the advantages.
On the one hand, tutors may be poorly qualified, so parents are placing their children at risk rather than in a strengthened position. On the other hand, dependence on tutors can also be a disadvantage, as students do less for themselves, leaving even the simple tasks of critical thinking, problem solving and brainstorming to tutors.
From my perspective, tutoring can bring long-term negative effects and weaken children’s ability and make them passive and dependent learners. What’s more, weekly tutoring sessions often reduce the immediacy of the interaction and consequently diminish the impact of prompt feedback. Grades may improve for a short time, but they will lose opportunities to think independently and learn from mistakes. In short, I say No to hiring a tutor.
W: Look at this picture! You were cooking in the kitchen.
M: Yes, when I was in university, I used to cook for myself. But I was not good at cooking dishes.
W: Is cooking that difficult?
M: For me it is. I often fail to control the cooking time. Sometimes the dishes are over cooked.
W: There are some basic skills for cooking. For example, boiling is simple but many vitamins go out during boiling. So it is not a good way to cook vegetables like that.
M: How do you know so much?
W: When planning and preparing meals, I always consult different recipes. Bit by bit, I have grasped some skills.
M: I really admire you in this. Could you teach me how to cook some dishes this weekend?
W: I’d like to, but I will be touring in Malaysia then. You can visit http://www.wikihow.com.
Text 10
W: Here is the news. Last Saturday a storm struck three villages and destroyed thirty houses. Seven others were no longer fit for living in, and fifteen others had broken windows. One person was killed, and nine were badly injured and taken to hospital. A number of other people received small injuries. In all, over three hundred were left homeless as a result of the storm.
A farmer said the storm came early in the morning and went on over an hour. He was cooking in the kitchen with his wife and his children were in the sitting room when they heard a loud noise. A few minutes later their house fell down on top of them. They managed to climb out but then he saw that one of his children was missing. He went back inside and found him safe but very frightened.
A woman said that her husband had just left for work. When she noticed that her house was shaking, she rushed outside immediately with her children. There was no time for her to take anything. A few minutes later, the roof came down.
Soldiers went to the area to help the people in trouble.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出合适选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Famous Irish poet Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) once wrote: “Ah! Realize your youth while you have it.” He pointed out the important truth about how precious youth is in one’s 36 through life. However, the popular internet word foxi—or “Buddhist”—is 37 this rule by encouraging young people to remain calm and peaceful and 38 arguments as much as possible—in other words, to live like a Buddha.
The phrase was reportedly created in Japan in 2014 to describe young men who no longer want to start 39 with women or follow someone else’s life path. They prefer to stay in their own 40 world without being disturbed and care little about failure and success.
Now, Chinese internet users are 41 the phrase with other words to describe a similar thought. For example, “Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount—they don’t 42 class, but they don’t burn the midnight oil, either. There are also “Buddhist parents”, who involve little with their children’s lives and let them develop however they like—the 43 of “tiger parents”.
In this fast-changing and competitive world, it’s only 44 that people are going after a spiritual freedom. However, some would compare foxi with “denominational culture(丧文化)” —a phrase that describes young people who feel 45 and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their 46 to fight. They are 47 to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure simply because they have no ability to achieve success.
But no matter 48 , there is one thing that “Buddhist youngsters” should keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm attitude towards failure, but you should also be 49 about school, work and life.
50 , Wilde also wrote: “Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new feelings. Be afraid of nothing.”
36. A. journey B. trip C.travel D. tour
37. A. supporting B. challenging C. making D. explaining
38. A. face B. avoid C. solve D. cause
39. A. sorrow B. happiness C. studies D. relationships
40. A. gray B. terrible C. peaceful D. silent
41. A. pairing B. understanding C. describing D. inventing
42. A. take B. enjoy C. attend D. skip
43. A. similarity B. sameness C. opposite D. viewpoint

Chinese people are, quite rightly, proud of their food. However, when foreigners like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food, their impression of it is different to what you might think.
Growing up in the UK, the Chinese food I was used to eating was food I now recognize as being from Guangdong. For example, a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet and sour sauce, probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants(移民) to the UK have come from Guangdong. You can tell, because when most British people try to copy the sound of Chinese, they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people—hearing the real Putonghua is sometimes a shock to British people who have grown up thinking it sounds completely different!
British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing, though. Chinese-American chef Ken Hom has been on British TV for 30 years, and he told BBC Food: “Chinese food at the beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork, mainly. Most Brits had the unchangeable view of Chinese food… Now you are seeing more local Chinese food from Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Guangdong food.” Similarly, to most Americans, Chinese food doesn’t go too far past orange chicken and fortune cookies, but more Chinese local dishes are becoming successful, especially in big cities like New York.
Attitudes have not quite changed completely, though. Many foreigners who live in China will be familiar with this question from a relative back at home: “Have they given you dog yet?” Yes, perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture, many people believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat. And of course, some people do eat dogs, which to Americans is like “eating a member of one’s family” according to Vision Times. Also, Chinese people eat many other things people in the West do not—chicken claws, duck heads and some animals’ organs.
But what do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food? You’ll be glad to know that in my experience, the impressions have been very good.
53. Why are some British people surprised when they hear the real Putonghua?
A. Because it sounds too funny to believe.
B. Because they all find it hard to learn.
C. Because it’s different from what they hear.
D. Because nobody has been to China before.
54. What does chef Ken Hom think of the present Chinese food?
A. Popular. B. Richer. C. Tastier. D. Best.
55. How does Paragraph 3 develop?
A. By giving examples. B. By making inferences.
C. By analyzing. D. By reasoning.
56. What can we infer from “Have they given you dog yet?”?
A. Foreigners don’t like eating dog meat at all.
B. Chinese hate dogs so they often eat them.
C. Chinese eat everything including dog meat.
D. There are differences between cultures.

The UK’s largest coffee seller, Costa Coffee, has promised to recycle half a billion coffee cups a year by 2020 to deal with plastic waste. The move, which means recycling the same number of cups it puts onto the market, would account for a big percentage out of the 2.5 billion takeaway cups thrown away across the country every year.
Though marked as recyclable, most of paper coffee cups end up on landfill(垃圾场) or being burned due to the plastic lining(涂层) used to make them waterproof. By paying waste collectors to take coffee cups to certain places, Costa hopes to increase the rate at which cups are recycled. Finally, all a customer will need to do to make sure their cup avoids landfill is throw it into a standard recycling bin.
Started following the Environmental Audit Committee’s report recommending ministers take action to deal with coffee cup waste, the campaign has pushed for action from governments and businesses and promoted possible solutions. Starbucks has promised ￡7m to develop a “fully recyclable cup” following pressure from campaigners, while Waitrose, a supermarket, has planned to stop using disposable(一次性的) coffee cups from its stores by autumn.
The company has entered into a partnership with five national waste collectors – Veolia, Biffa, Suez, Grundon and First Mile – that between them cover public spaces across the UK including hospitals, universities and transport hubs. The coffee company is also working with paper factories to make sure their products are recycled effectively. James Cropper, for example, has plans to upgrade 500 million cups a year to create plastic-free packaging. By building more partnerships with waste contractors in every area, Costa means to hit its half a billion mark within two years.
With one report showing the number of takeaway drink cups thrown away in the UK is set to rise by a third by 2030, and the government recently failing to tax some coffee to discourage cup use, it falls to businesses to act on the huge amount of waste from their products.
Commenting on the announcement, Environment Minister Therese Coffey said: “Congratulations to Costa on taking this significant step to help coffee lovers do the right thing and increase recycling. We all have a responsibility to our environment and this is a significant step by a British business which should increase the number of disposable coffee cups we recycle in this country.” “We want to help companies become plastic free and through our 25 Year Environment Plan we are putting in place the aims to encourage all of us to play our part in ending the pollution of plastic waste in our natural environment.”
57. What’s the text mainly talking about?
A. Coffee companies will produce less to go green.
B. A policy will be set to reduce the paper pollution.
C. A coffee seller is planning to recycle coffee cups.
D. A ban on the usage of coffee cups is carried out.
58. According to the passage, why does Starbucks put so much money into the move?
A. It is indeed a method of advertising its production.
B. It volunteers to take an active part in the move.
C. It is encouraged to take action by Waitrose.
D. It is likely to be forced to do so by the move participants.
59. Why does the passage mention James Cropper in Paragraph 4?
A. To tell consumers not to use paper cups any longer.
B. To show the move made by Costa is effective.
C. To promote plastic-free packaging in the near future.
D. To suggest Costa is to develop business with the factory.
60. What does Therese Coffey think of the move by Costa?
A. Interesting. B. Meaningful. C. Selfish. D. Impractical.
D
A new web standard is expected to kill passwords, meaning users will no longer have to remember difficult logins(登录) for each and every website or service they use.
The Web Authentication (WebAuthn网络认证) standard is designed to replace the password with tools that users already own, such as a security key, a smart phone, a fingerprint scanner or webcam. Instead of having to remember long characters, users can authenticate their login with their body or something they have, communicating directly with the website through Bluetooth, USB or NFC.
“WebAuthn will change the way that people access the Web,” said Jeff Jaffe, CEO of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the body that controls web standards. One example of how WebAuthn will work is that when a user visits a site, they put in a user name and then get a message on their smart phone. Tapping on the message on their phone then logs them into the website without the need for a password.
WebAuthn promises to protect users against phishing attacks(钓鱼攻击) and the use of stolen information as there will be nothing to steal, the authentication sign is produced and used once by their special tool each time the user enters.
“After years of increasingly serious data and password being stolen, now it is the time for service providers to end their dependency on easily-attacked passwords and use phishing-resistant FIDO Authentication(身份认证联盟) for all websites and apps,” said Brett McDowell, CEO of the FIDO Alliance, one of the bodies pushing the new standard.
WebAuthn should also help people use special login details for each and every service they use, instead of using the same login and password for every site, which many people still do, leaving them further attacked if one site is hacked(黑客攻击).
The W3C has moved WebAuthn to what’s called the “candidate recommendation” stage – the last-but-one step before it becomes an approved web standard – inviting sites and services to begin using it. The web standards body announced that Google, Microsoft and Mozilla had been devoted to supporting WebAuthn, meaning that all major web explorers except Apple’s Safari will use the new standard.
“While there are many web security problems and we can’t fix them all, relying on passwords is one of the weakest links. With WebAuthn’s solutions we are removing this weak link,” said Jaffe.
Several sites and services already use similar methods to enter, including Google and Facebook, which can both be entered using a USB security key. But a single cross-platform, cross-service standard approved by the W3C will mean that many more sites and services will be able to kill the password as the login method.
WebAuthn is the top of many years of work and the change will not happen overnight. But as it increasingly seems unavoidably that our email or other online services will get hacked into, removing the password is an important step in improving online security and making using sites and services easier.
61. What’s the purpose of the new Web Authentication standard?
A. To create a way to login in place of the traditional password.
B. To help users to improve the way of inventing the password.
C. To make netizens visit a site much faster and more smoothly.
D. To inform readers of a new tool against phishing attacks
62. What of the following statements is TRUE?
A. WebAuthn will work without a user name at all.
B. WebAuthn can ensure its all information safe.
C. Users’ data and passwords used to be easily stolen.
D. The authentication sign can be used repeatedly.
63. What does the underlined part “which many people still do” mean in Paragraph 6?
A. They change their passwords when using a computer system.
B. They enter the same login and password on different websites.
C. They copy information from the web in the same way as before.
D. They worry about being attacked while surfing the internet.
64. According to Jaffe, web security problems_____________.
A. have been solved completely at present
B. are often connected with hacking and phishing
C. will disappear one day with the WebAthn
D. may probably be caused by unsafe passwords
65. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. WebAuthn is the product at the key point through longtime efforts.
B. WebAuthn will change people’s way of using computers sooner or later.
C. Emails are safer ways for people to send and receive information.
D. Removing passwords will surely end the risks caused by hacking.
第 Ⅱ 卷（共 40 分）
第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个比较恰当的单词。
注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。
If you want to make a great first impression—and why wouldn’t you—you know there are basic steps you can take: you should smile, make eye contact, talk less than the other person, and ask questions about him or her. Anyone can do those things.
But what you might not know is that if you think other people are going to like you, they usually will. As research shows, interpersonal warmth explains the scene: study participants who expected to be accepted were sensed as more likable. (when you think other people will like you, you act in a more natural way—which then makes people like you more since we tend to like warm, friendly people.)
All of which sounds great, but when you’re shy or insecure, you might believe that other people will like you. When you’re not familiar with the setting or do not feel comfortable, it’s a lot easier to believe people don’t like you.
So how can you convince yourself that people will like you? Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and commit to taking a few steps that ensure almost anyone will like you.
1. Give a sincere compliment(称赞).
Everyone loves praise, especially since no one gets enough praise. Show interest by asking questions. But go past, “What do you do?” Ask what it’s like to do what the person does. Ask what’s hard about it. Ask what the person loves about it. You’ll soon find things to compliment.
2. Focus on letting people talk about themselves.
People love to talk about themselves.
Research shows approximately 40 percent of everyday speech is spent telling other people what we think or feel—basically, talking about our subjective experiences.
By helping people talk about themselves, you’re seen as a great conversationalist. In fact, you say very little. Even if you haven’t succeeded in making people fully understand you, it is OK. And in the process, you also make other people feel better about themselves, and that makes them like you.
That’s another win-win.
3. Change one word.
Think about the difference in these statements:
I had to go to a meeting.
I got to meet with some great people.
I have to interview some candidates for a job.
I get to select a great person to join our team.
No big deal, right? Wrong. We like to be around the people who have enthusiasm and motivation.
Keep in mind choosing the right words also affects how you feel. Don’t say, “I have to go to the gym.” Say, “I want to go to the gym.”
4. Show a little weakness.
Great teams are often led by people willing to admit weaknesses and failings.
Want to make a great first impression? Don’t try to impress. Instead, be humble. Admit your mistakes. Laugh at yourself.
When you do, other people won’t laugh at you. They’ll laugh with you.
And they’ll immediately like you, and want to be around you more.
Common sense If you want to make a great first impression, you are (66) ▲ to smile, make eye contact, (67) ▲ more than you talk, and ask questions about the other person.
Interpersonal warmth principle If you think other people are going to like you, they usually will, so you act more (68) ▲ and make yourself liked more since everyone tends to like warm, friendly people.
When you’re in an unfamiliar setting or feel (69) ▲ , it’s a lot easier to assume that people (70) ▲ you.
(71) ▲ for being likable ●Everyone loves to be (72) ▲ , especially since no one gets enough praise. Show interest by asking questions, you’ll soon find things to compliment.
●By helping people talk about themselves, you’re seen as a great conversationalist even when you say very little. Maybe you needn’t (73) ▲ all of your ideas across.
●We like to be around (74) ▲ and motivated people, so keep in mind choosing the right words also affects how you feel.
●Admit weaknesses and failings, other people will laugh with you (75) ▲ of laughing at you.

认真阅读下面的图表与文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Significant numbers of high school students are receiving additional assistance from tutors. That requires a measure of time, commitment and sometimes a lot of money.
Tutors may be good for improving test scores, but they may harm a lot if students become overly dependent on tutors. Tutors’ role should be one of assessment, monitoring and assistance, not to take over and perfect. Tutors may be used to “bridge the gap”, but the responsibility stays on the student to take an active role in mastering the content and skills required for success.
I know kids who refuse to open their textbooks before the tutor gets in the house. Now I want to ask you a question: are you improving your study skills and developing learning intelligence with the “help” of your tutors?

Nowadays high school students are paying more for being tutored. While tutors may help with the short-term goal of achieving higher grades, the disadvantages overweigh the advantages.
On the one hand, tutors may be poorly qualified, so parents are placing their children at risk rather than in a strengthened position. On the other hand, dependence on tutors can also be a disadvantage, as students do less for themselves, leaving even the simple tasks of critical thinking, problem solving and brainstorming to tutors.
From my perspective, tutoring can bring long-term negative effects and weaken children’s ability and make them passive and dependent learners. What’s more, weekly tutoring sessions often reduce the immediacy of the interaction and consequently diminish the impact of prompt feedback. Grades may improve for a short time, but they will lose opportunities to think independently and learn from mistakes. In short, I say No to hiring a tutor.
W: Look at this picture! You were cooking in the kitchen.
M: Yes, when I was in university, I used to cook for myself. But I was not good at cooking dishes.

M: For me it is. I often fail to control the cooking time. Sometimes the dishes are over cooked.
W: There are some basic skills for cooking. For example, boiling is simple but many vitamins go out during boiling. So it is not a good way to cook vegetables like that.
M: How do you know so much?
W: When planning and preparing meals, I always consult different recipes. Bit by bit, I have grasped some skills.
M: I really admire you in this. Could you teach me how to cook some dishes this weekend?
W: I’d like to, but I will be touring in Malaysia then. You can visit http://www.wikihow.com.

W: Here is the news. Last Saturday a storm struck three villages and destroyed thirty houses. Seven others were no longer fit for living in, and fifteen others had broken windows. One person was killed, and nine were badly injured and taken to hospital. A number of other people received small injuries. In all, over three hundred were left homeless as a result of the storm.
A farmer said the storm came early in the morning and went on over an hour. He was cooking in the kitchen with his wife and his children were in the sitting room when they heard a loud noise. A few minutes later their house fell down on top of them. They managed to climb out but then he saw that one of his children was missing. He went back inside and found him safe but very frightened.
A woman said that her husband had just left for work. When she noticed that her house was shaking, she rushed outside immediately with her children. There was no time for her to take anything. A few minutes later, the roof came down.
Soldiers went to the area to help the people in trouble.
