They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along the -with instant recall of my bank PIN(密码), my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?
A. He fell for a marketing trick. B. He was driven mad by passwords.
C. He had a serious memory disorder. D. He was rejected by the gas station.
5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______ .
A. show how secure his passwords were
B. challenge the intelligence of scientists
C. prove the uselessness of his passwords
D. promote a more scientific password system
6. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.
B. To recommend a password-remembering method.
C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.
D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords.
7. What is the tone of the text?

C
People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.
“This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”
Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy.
They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds.
The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.
The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.
8. Why are some animals fearful of human beings?
A. Human beings are the strongest.
B. Human beings make them out of water.
C. Human beings may have caused great damage.
D. Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world.
9. What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park?
A. There are many lions there.
B. There are 21 waterholes there.
C. It is easy to set up loudspeakers there.
D. It is easy to record the local people’s activities.
10. Which animal responded to human voices least?
A. Elephants. B. Giraffes. C. Lions. D. Dogs.
11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The advantages of human voices to animals.
B. The damaging impact of human presence.
C. The significant ecological results of human voices.
D. The impact and possible application of human voices.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的一项研究:野生动物其实更害怕人类的声音。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.(但无论你是野生动物游客,还是偷猎者,或者其他什么人,你都会被视为同样的东西。人类的存在同样危险,不管你是什么类型的人)”可知,不管你是什么类型的人——观看野生动物的游客、盗猎者或其他什么人,在野生动物眼里,你都是一样的——人类的存在对它们来说都是一样的危险,因此可以推断出,动物们曾经被人类伤害过,给它们带来过危险,所以它们才会非常恐惧人类。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world.(他们在距离南非大克鲁格国家公园21个水坑附近的动物通道10米远的树上安装了扬声器和摄像头,这里是世界上现存狮子数量最多的国家之一)”可知,南非大克鲁格国家公园是世界上现存狮子数量最多的地方之一,即那里有很多的狮子。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.(他们发现,除了狮子之外,野生动物对人类声音的反应比其他任何声音都要快,而且逃跑的速度也快40%)”可知,他们发现除了狮子之外,野生动物对人类声音的反应比其他任何声音都要快。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容“The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.(这些发现强调了我们的存在可能会产生重大生态结果的破坏性影响。即便如此,这些发现也可能带来积极的结果。人类的声音可能会阻止野生动物进入农田或农场)”可知,这些发现强调了我们的存在可能会产生重大的破坏性的生态后果;同时,这些发现也可能带来积极的结果,人类的声音可能会阻止野生动物进入农田或农场,即最后一段讲述的是人类的声音所带来的影响和可能的应用。故选D。
D
A recent survey has shown that more men are adopting cats than women in recent years.
People used to think cats are preferred by women, and dogs are the trusty friends of men. However, a new research from UK Pet Food uncovered an obvious gender (性别) difference in pet adoption numbers — with more men choosing to adopt adult cats than women. Over the past four years, 1.5 million new male households have been benefiting from the company of an adult cat, compared to around 1 million female households.
The research findings highlight the function of the bond that can exist between a man and his furry friend. Although you may be fond of kittens with their playful and innocent nature, there’s a convincing reason to adopt an adult cat, especially for men seeking a loyal and entertaining companion. Unlike the troublesome process of raising a kitten, adult cats come with their personalities fully formed. This means that from day one, you can enjoy the companionship of a furry friend that has already settled into their characters and behaviors.
For men with busy schedules or limited time for pet training, an adult cat provides instant companionship without the demanding needs of a young kitten. They’re already litter-trained and accustomed to basic grooming routines, making them an ideal choice for busy men.
Michael Bellingham, Chief Executive of UK Pet Food said: “I was interested to see that more men are adopting older cats. Our research this year highlights the profound impact of pets — from fighting with loneliness to having a positive effect on our mental health. We were surprised to see that one fifth of the people with mental illness we interviewed want pets to be included in prescriptions, which can help treat their problems.”
So, for men considering bringing a furry companion into their life, adopting an adult cat might just be the perfect choice.
12. What can we know about the new research in paragraph 2?
A. Compared to women, men prefers to adopt adult cats.
B. Dogs are man’s most loyal friends of all time.
C. Women are fond of being surrounded by lovely cats.
D. Millions of households gain benefits from protecting pets.
13. What’s the reason for man to choose adult cats?
A. They have the potential to care for their owners.
B. They are innocent and loyal to the caring adults.
C. They have fully developed personalities.
D. They are a cure for rare diseases.
14. What can be inferred from Michael Bellingham’s words?
A. Adult cats are the best option of pets for UK family.
B. Pets have a good impact on people’s mental health.
C. Adult cats demand less company from their busy owners.
D. Cats are a priceless drug for physical problems in UK.
15. Which of the following phrases can replace “prescription” in paragraph 5?
A. Job interviews. B. Text books. C. Personal preference. D. Medical guidance.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了最近的一项调查显示,近年来收养猫的男性比女性多。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, a new research from UK Pet Food uncovered an obvious gender (性别) difference in pet adoption numbers — with more men choosing to adopt adult cats than women. (然而,英国宠物食品公司的一项新研究发现,宠物收养人数存在明显的性别差异——选择收养成年猫的男性多于女性。)”可知,与女性相比,男性更喜欢收养成年猫。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Although you may be fond of kittens with their playful and innocent nature, there’s a convincing reason to adopt an adult cat, especially for men seeking a loyal and entertaining companion. Unlike the troublesome process of raising a kitten, adult cats come with their personalities fully formed. This means that from day one, you can enjoy the companionship of a furry friend that has already settled into their characters and behaviors. (尽管你可能喜欢小猫的顽皮和天真,但有一个令人信服的理由收养一只成年猫,尤其是对于那些寻求忠诚和有趣伴侣的男人来说。与养小猫的麻烦过程不同,成年猫的个性已经完全形成。这意味着从第一天起,你就可以享受一个已经适应了他们的性格和行为的毛茸茸的朋友的陪伴。)”可知,男性选择成年猫的原因是成年猫的个性已经完全形成,可以省去领养者繁琐的养育过程。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Our research this year highlights the profound impact of pets — from fighting with loneliness to having a positive effect on our mental health. (我们今年的研究强调了宠物的深远影响——从与孤独做斗争到对我们的心理健康产生积极影响。)”可知,从Michael Bellingham的话中可以推断,养宠物对人们的心理健康有积极的影响。故选B。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“I was interested to see that more men are adopting older cats. Our research this year highlights the profound impact of pets — from fighting with loneliness to having a positive effect on our mental health. We were surprised to see that one fifth of the people with mental illness we interviewed want pets to be included in prescriptions, which can help treat their problems. (我很有兴趣看到越来越多的男性收养老年猫。我们今年的研究强调了宠物的深远影响——从与孤独做斗争到对我们的心理健康产生积极影响。我们惊讶地看到,我们采访的五分之一的精神疾病患者希望将宠物纳入prescriptions,这可以帮助治疗他们的问题。)”可知,宠物对于孤独做斗争和对心理健康有积极影响,由此推知,五分之一被采访的人群表示要将宠物列入心理疾病的治疗方法中,划线单词表示“处方,治疗方法”,与“Medical guidance (医疗指导)”意义相近。故选D。

A satellite is an object in space that orbits around another. It has two kinds—natural satellites and artificial satellites. ___16___ while artificial satellites are those made by man.
Despite their widespread impact on daily life, artificial satellites mainly depend on different complicated makeups. On the outside, they may look like a wheel, equipped with solar panels or sails. Inside, ___17___, which include whatever tools the satellites need to perform their work. Among them, high-resolution cameras and communication electronics are typical ones. Besides, the part that carries the load and holds all the parts together is called the bus.
___18___. Computers function as the satellite’s brain, which receive information, interpret it, and send messages back to the earth. Advanced digital cameras serve as the satellite’s eyes. Sensors are other important parts that not only recognize light, heat, and gases, but also record changes in what is being observed. Radios on the satellite send information back to the earth. Solar panels provide electrical power for the computers and other equipment.
Artificial satellites use gravity to stay in their orbits. ___19___. To stay in the earth’s orbit, the speed of a satellite must adjust to the tiniest changes in the pull of gravity. The satellite’s speed works against earth’s gravity just enough so that it doesn’t go speeding into space or falling back to the earth.
Rockets carry satellites to different types and heights of orbits, based on the tasks they need to perform. ___20___, which can be 200-500 miles high. The closer to the earth, the stronger the gravity is. Therefore, these satellites must travel at about 17,000 miles per hour to keep themselves from falling back to the earth, while higher-orbiting satellites can travel more slowly.
A. Satellites closer to the earth are in low-earth orbit
B. Artificial satellites come in many shapes and size
C. Examples of natural satellites are the Earth and Moon
D. they have different tools to perform different functions
E. the satellites contain mission-specific scientific instruments

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人造卫星的组成、运行方式和速度等基本情况。
【16题详解】
根据上文“A satellite is an object in space that orbits around another. It has two kinds—natural satellites and artificial satellites.(卫星是太空中围绕另一个物体运行的物体。它有两种——天然卫星和人造卫星。)”和下文“while artificial satellites are those made by man.(然而人造卫星是由人类制造的。)”可知,上文提到了卫星有两种,自然卫星和人造卫星,下文提到了人造卫星,空处应该解释什么是自然卫星。C项:Examples of natural satellites are the Earth and Moon(自然卫星的例子是地球和月球)符合语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“On the outside, they may look like a wheel, equipped with solar panels or sails.(在外面,它们可能看起来像一个轮子,配备了太阳能电池板或帆。)”可知,上文提到人造卫星的构造,其中提到它们内部包含完成任务所需的工具。因此,接下来的句子应该详细描述这些工具是什么。E项:the satellites contain mission-specific scientific instruments(卫星载有特定任务的科学仪器)符合语境。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Computers function as the satellite’s brain, which receive information, interpret it, and send messages back to the earth. Advanced digital cameras serve as the satellite’s eyes. Sensors are other important parts that not only recognize light, heat, and gases, but also record changes in what is being observed. Radios on the satellite send information back to the earth. Solar panels provide electrical power for the computers and other equipment.(计算机就像卫星的大脑一样,接收信息,解释信息,并将信息发回地球。先进的数码相机充当卫星的眼睛。传感器是另一个重要部件,它不仅能识别光、热和气体,还能记录所观察到的变化。卫星上的无线电把信息发回地球。太阳能电池板为电脑和其他设备提供电力。)”可知,下文详细描述了人造卫星的组成部分以及它们的功能,如计算机、高级数字相机、传感器、无线电和太阳能电池板等,这些部分协同工作,使得人造卫星能够执行各种任务。因此,这里需要一个句子来概括人造卫星的工作方式。G项:Artificial satellites operate in a systematic way just like humans(人造卫星像人类一样以系统的方式运作)符合语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据下文“To stay in the earth’s orbit, the speed of a satellite must adjust to the tiniest changes in the pull of gravity. The satellite’s speed works against earth’s gravity just enough so that it doesn’t go speeding into space or falling back to the earth.(为了保持在地球轨道上运行,卫星的速度必须根据引力最微小的变化进行调整。卫星的速度与地球的重力刚好相反,所以它不会加速进入太空或落回地球。)”可知,下文提到人造卫星需要调整速度来对抗地球的引力,以保持轨道稳定。因此,本句需要解释为什么需要这样做。F项:Earth’s gravity pulls everything toward the center of the planet(地球的引力把所有东西都拉向地球的中心)符合语境。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Therefore, these satellites must travel at about 17,000 miles per hour to keep themselves from falling back to the earth, while higher-orbiting satellites can travel more slowly. (因此,这些卫星必须以每小时约17000英里的速度运行,以防止自己落回地球,而轨道较高的卫星可以运行得更慢。)”可知,空处需要一个句子来引出这些卫星的轨道高度。A项:Satellites closer to the earth are in low-earth orbit(靠近地球的卫星在近地轨道上)符合语境。故选A。

They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along the -with instant recall of my bank PIN(密码), my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.

People’s voices frighten wildlife even more than the snarls (低吼) of lions, suggesting that we are the scariest animals. Giraffes, elephants, and more than a dozen other species of animals in a South African wildlife reserve ran away from loudspeakers twice as often when they heard the sounds of humans compared with those of lions, found by a study led by Michael Clinchy at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.
“This is a protected area, so these animals should not be fearful of us,” he says. “But whether you’re a wildlife tourist, or a poacher (盗猎者), or whatever, you’re all going to be seen as the same thing. The presence of the human is equally dangerous, regardless of what type of human you are.”
Clinchy and his colleagues had already discovered that the fear of predators (捕食者) can cause species to decline in number. Wanting to find out which was the most feared, the team decided to test humans against lions often seen as the world’s most fearsome predator on land, says Clinchy.
They set up loudspeakers and cameras on trees 10 meters away from animal paths near 21 waterholes in Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa, which hosts one of the largest remaining lion populations in the world. When animals approached the waterholes, the speakers immediately played back one of four kinds of recordings, all at the same volume. These included men and women speaking calmly in local languages, lions snarling, gun shots with or without barking dogs and the calls of regional birds.
The researchers captured 15,000 videos of 19 species of animals reacting to their recordings. They found that wildlife except lions ran around in response to human voices more than to any other sounds, and were also 40 percent quicker to escape.
The findings highlight the damaging impact that our presence could potentially be having significant ecological (生态的) results. Even so, the findings could lead to positive outcomes as well. Human voices might prevent wildlife from entering crop fields or farms.
8. Why are some animals fearful of human beings?
A. Human beings are the strongest.
B. Human beings make them out of water.
C. Human beings may have caused great damage.
D. Human beings can make the loudest voice in the world.
9 What can be inferred about Greater Kruger National Park?
A. There are many lions there.
B. There are 21 waterholes there.
C. It is easy to set up loudspeakers there.
D. It is easy to record the local people’s activities.
10. Which animal responded to human voices least?
A. Elephants. B. Giraffes. C. Lions. D. Dogs.
11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The advantages of human voices to animals.
B. The damaging impact of human presence.
C. The significant ecological results of human voices.
D. The impact and possible application of human voices.
D
A recent survey has shown that more men are adopting cats than women in recent years.
People used to think cats are preferred by women, and dogs are the trusty friends of men. However, a new research from UK Pet Food uncovered an obvious gender (性别) difference in pet adoption numbers — with more men choosing to adopt adult cats than women. Over the past four years, 1.5 million new male households have been benefiting from the company of an adult cat, compared to around 1 million female households.
The research findings highlight the function of the bond that can exist between a man and his furry friend. Although you may be fond of kittens with their playful and innocent nature, there’s a convincing reason to adopt an adult cat, especially for men seeking a loyal and entertaining companion. Unlike the troublesome process of raising a kitten, adult cats come with their personalities fully formed. This means that from day one, you can enjoy the companionship of a furry friend that has already settled into their characters and behaviors.
For men with busy schedules or limited time for pet training, an adult cat provides instant companionship without the demanding needs of a young kitten. They’re already litter-trained and accustomed to basic grooming routines, making them an ideal choice for busy men.
Michael Bellingham, Chief Executive of UK Pet Food said: “I was interested to see that more men are adopting older cats. Our research this year highlights the profound impact of pets — from fighting with loneliness to having a positive effect on our mental health. We were surprised to see that one fifth of the people with mental illness we interviewed want pets to be included in prescriptions, which can help treat their problems.”
So, for men considering bringing a furry companion into their life, adopting an adult cat might just be the perfect choice.
12. What can we know about the new research in paragraph 2?
A. Compared to women, men prefers to adopt adult cats.
B. Dogs are man’s most loyal friends of all time.
C. Women are fond of being surrounded by lovely cats.
D. Millions of households gain benefits from protecting pets.
13. What’s the reason for man to choose adult cats?
A. They have the potential to care for their owners.
B. They are innocent and loyal to the caring adults.
C. They have fully developed personalities.
D. They are a cure for rare diseases.
14. What can be inferred from Michael Bellingham’s words?
A. Adult cats are the best option of pets for UK family.
B. Pets have a good impact on people’s mental health.
C. Adult cats demand less company from their busy owners.
D. Cats are a priceless drug for physical problems in UK.
15. Which of the following phrases can replace “prescription” in paragraph 5?
A. Job interviews. B. Text books. C. Personal preference. D. Medical guidance.

A satellite is an object in space that orbits around another. It has two kinds—natural satellites and artificial satellites. ___16___ while artificial satellites are those made by man.
Despite their widespread impact on daily life, artificial satellites mainly depend on different complicated makeups. On the outside, they may look like a wheel, equipped with solar panels or sails. Inside, ___17___, which include whatever tools the satellites need to perform their work. Among them, high-resolution cameras and communication electronics are typical ones. Besides, the part that carries the load and holds all the parts together is called the bus.
___18___. Computers function as the satellite’s brain, which receive information, interpret it, and send messages back to the earth. Advanced digital cameras serve as the satellite’s eyes. Sensors are other important parts that not only recognize light, heat, and gases, but also record changes in what is being observed. Radios on the satellite send information back to the earth. Solar panels provide electrical power for the computers and other equipment.
Artificial satellites use gravity to stay in their orbits. ___19___. To stay in the earth’s orbit, the speed of a satellite must adjust to the tiniest changes in the pull of gravity. The satellite’s speed works against earth’s gravity just enough so that it doesn’t go speeding into space or falling back to the earth.
Rockets carry satellites to different types and heights of orbits, based on the tasks they need to perform. ___20___, which can be 200-500 miles high. The closer to the earth, the stronger the gravity is.
