A
Trying to find the perfect present is about as easy as trying to read someone’s mind. Few people will actually tell you what they want for a special occasion and most of the time your loved ones will insist that they don’t need or want anything! So, what to do? Here are some tips that could help.
Start Early
Starting your shopping early can have many advantages. For instance, it gives you enough time to come up with ideas for what you should buy your friends or family members. Moreover, the closer it gets to holidays, the higher the prices go up. So, save your money by being an early bird.
Make a List
Here, you can write down everything your friends or family members love. This can include food, hobbies, experiences, and more. Then try to determine how to use this information to find a gift that perfectly suits them. If you are lucky, you should be able to find good ideas in one of these lists.
Think outside the Box
Often, the reason why you get stuck for gift ideas is that you only focus on the same kind of presents. If you are still coming up empty, it is time to get creative. You can find something your friends or family members can use every day. When in doubt, you can simply put smaller presents together to make up a larger, more meaningful gift.
Gift an Experience
In case you are still feeling a little stuck, go ahead and find something that the two of you can do together. It may be a class, or anything else where you can enjoy each other’s company. In short, you will be able to give them the gift of friendship.
31. Start your shopping early can help you _______.
A. buy gifts in lower prices
B. change ideas very often
C. read your friend’s mind easily
D. make a list of preferred gifts
32. To enjoy each other’s company, you can _______.
A. talk to your family members
B. find something that you can do together
C. write down everything your friends love
D. put smaller gifts together to make up a larger one
33. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To suggest ways on how to make friends.
B. To give advice on reading minds.
C. To share a travel story.
D. To offer tips on buying presents.
B
Mitchell Wollen is a student at Xavier High School in Connecticut, US. When his school shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情), he found that he had a big block of free time, and he decided to make a difference.
“My friend and I were brainstorming,” said Wollen. “We thought we’d make these hearts for people on the frontline who are sacrificing (牺牲) everything for us.”
Wollen made a model -- a wooden heart painted red with the words “Thank You” on the sign. People could put them on their front lawns to thank healthcare workers. To encourage such kindness, his mom Julie posted this on her Facebook page in early April.
After that, Wollen didn’t have any more free time. In the first week, he had 100 orders for the hearts. Filling the orders was time-consuming.
When distance learning started up, Wollen had schoolwork to do for six or seven hours a day. However, being busy with schoolwork didn’t stop him from making more signs.
After his school wrote an article on Wollen and posted it on Facebook, more people ordered signs from him.
People can donate (捐赠) $10 for his cause. It has so far helped Wollen raise more than $1,600. He plans to use the money to buy meals for healthcare workers.
He has talked with people at several medical centers in his state, hoping to bring food to the workers. Among them, Gaylord Hospital has responded. After connecting with his mother’s friend, who owns a coffee truck, Wollen planned to pay the people who run the coffee truck to offer free coffee to the healthcare workers from Gaylord Hospital.
“Everybody’s having a tough time right now,” he said. “I just want to spread positive energy and help those who are struggling in these times.”
Currently, Wollen isn’t taking any more orders for signs since he still has about 100 orders to fill. However, he hopes to be able to make more in the future and that people like him can find ways to show support during this troublesome period.
34. Why did Mitchell Wollen make wooden hearts?
A. To kill time in the free time.
B. To make some pocket money.
C. To show off his hands-on skills.
D. To express thanks to selfless people.
35. What can we infer about Wollen from the article?
A. He was highly praised by his school.
B. He asked his mom to advertise for him.
C. He wanted to get known on the Internet.
D. He gave up making hearts when he was busy.
36. How does Wollen plan to use the money?
A. He will use it to start a food business.
B. He plans to support a coffee truck owner.
C. He will buy coffee for healthcare workers.
D. He plans to use it to complete more orders.
37. Which of the following best describes Wollen?
A. Creative and thoughtful.
B. Cheerful and humorous.
C. Brave and kind-hearted.
D. Outgoing and hardworking.
C
Chemists have spent the past century trying to make plastics that will break down in seawater. As it is, most plastics appear to take centuries to fully degrade in the ocean. But that may change. Scientists have just designed a new plastic that can break down in seawater within weeks, not decades or more.
Back in the 1930s, scientists created a now-popular plastic out of corn and potato starch (淀粉). It’s known as polylactide, or PLA. It’s a polymer (聚合物), which is a molecule made by linking many building blocks — called monomers — into a long string. Scientists had hoped PLA would quickly break down in the environment. And in some places, like compost pits (堆肥坑), it does. But not in seawater. Even after three years in ocean water, PLA remains largely unchanged.
Timo Rheinberger is a PhD student at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. His work on polymers has focused on boosting PLA’s breakdown. As part of that work, he became part of a team that just added some RNA-inspired breaking points to PLA. They put those breaking points in places where monomers in the PLA molecules are linked.
They weakened the links that joined up to 15 percent of a PLA’s monomers. Then, they soaked their samples in artificial seawater and measured how fast these tweaked versions of PLA broke down. The expected final product of PLA’s breakdown was a small molecule called lactic acid. So, they tested for that too.
As the team had hoped, seawater attacked the weakened links between monomers, splitting the polymer chain apart. The more breaking points the researchers added to the polymer, the faster the PLA broke down.
When they weakened 15 percent of PLA’s monomer links, the polymer broke down entirely within just two weeks. When they weakened only 3 percent of the links, the breakdown took about 2 years. This suggests the team can design how quickly PLA will break down in water by adjusting how many weakened links it has.
Mehlika Karamanlioglu teaches biomedical engineering at Istanbul Gelisim University. She, too, has studied environmental breakdown of PLA. “It’s a new approach,” she says of the Dutch technique. Theirs is also “an early-stage study,” Karamanlioglu says. So, more testing must follow. Scientists want to know how the strength of the new PLA compares to old PLA.
Rheinberger agrees. “You need a lot of material to start those studies,” he adds. And so far, his team has made only small amounts of the modified PLA.
Karamanlioglu notes the Dutch team also tested the breakdown of its PLA in artificial seawater. “I wonder if they checked [the water] for pollution,” she adds. If there were microbes (微生物), those microbes may have produced molecules called enzymes that sped up the PLA’s degradation.
38. What can we learn about PLA from the passage?
A. Lactic acid prevents the breakdown of PLA.
B. PLA breaks down faster in artificial seawater.
C. PLA’s breakdown relies on that of monomers.
D. Compost pits are the best places for PLA’s breakdown.
39. What is Mehlika’s attitude towards the findings of the Dutch team?
A Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.
40. What can be learned from the last three paragraphs?
A. Mehlika is confident about the application of the new PLA.
B. The cleanness of water also affects the breakdown of PLA.
C. The new PLA has better strength than the old PLA.
D. The new PLA have been produced in large amounts.
D
In the 1970s, a gorilla (大猩猩) known as Koko became world-famous when scientists taught her to use human sign language to communicate with people. There were numerous attempts in the mid-1900s to teach human language to nonhumans, such as Koko. But what we should have been thinking about was their abilities to engage in complex communication on their own terms instead of trying to teach an animal to talk to us in human language.
Today scientists are trying to figure out how living things already share information using their particular methods. This new field of study is known as digital bioacoustics, and it involves using tools to understand the production of sounds and their effects on living things.
Scientists in this field are using sensors, which are devices that pick up and record information on physical or chemical conditions. Some are also using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, an approach that uses algorithms (算法). The same algorithms that we use in tools such as Google Translate to translate documents can also be used to find patterns in nonhuman communication.
Jeremy of Tel Aviv University studied nearly two dozen Egyptian fruit bats for two and a half months and recorded their vocalizations. His team adapted a voice-recognition program to study 15,000 of the sounds. The algorithm matched specific sounds with specific things the bats were doing. Using this program, the researchers were able to classify most of the bats’ sounds. Jeremy and other researchers have found that bats have a much more complex language than we previously understood. Bats argue over food; they distinguish (区分) between genders when they communicate with one another and they have individual names, or “signature calls”.
That’s a great example of how AI is able to find these patterns from information gathered by sensors and microphones. AI reveals things that we can’t hear with our human ears alone because most bat communication happens above our hearing range, and because bats speak much faster than we do, we have to slow it down to listen to it. So we cannot listen like a bat, but our computers can. And our computers can also speak back to the bat by producing specific patterns.
Digital bioacoustics is like an amazing hearing aid. It lets us listen to animals with both our digitally enhanced (增强的) ears and our imagination. This is slowly opening our minds not only to the wonderful sounds that nonhumans make, but to a fundamental set of questions about the so-called divide between humans and nonhumans, as well as our connection to other species. It’s also opening up new ways to think about protecting living things and our relationship with the planet. It’s pretty meaningful.
41. Regarding scientists’ efforts to teach animals human language, the author feels ________.
A. negative B. unconcerned C. uncertain D. supportive
42. Scientists in digital bioacoustics are trying to study ________.
A. how animals use different tools to share information
B. how animals are affected by the production of sounds
C. how animals are taught to talk in human sign language
D. how animals communicate with one another using sounds
43. What can we learn about AI applied in digital bioacoustics?
A. It pairs certain animals’ sounds with their behaviors.
B. It slows down animals’ sounds within humans’ hearing range.
C. It adapts voice-recognition programs to analyze animals’ sounds.
D. It translates specific nonhuman sound patterns into human language.
44. According to the passage, the author may agree that ________.
A. animals can be classified according to their sound patterns
B. scientists need to keep studying how animals produce sounds
C. digital bioacoustics may inspire humans to rethink their relationship with animals
D. the focus of digital bioacoustics should be the divide between humans and nonhumans
第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you use “123456”, “password’’ or “qwerty” as a password, you’re probably aware that you’re at the risk of being attacked by hackers (黑客). But you’re not alone. ____45____ Recently, password management service NordPass has carried out a study to determine the 200 most commonly used passwords around the world. They analysed the data across 50 countries.
The findings show password choices are often attached to cultural references. ____46____ In the UK, “liverpool” was the third most popular password, with 224,160 hits, while the name of Chilean football club “colocolo” was used by 15,748 people in Chile, making it the fifth most common choice.
____47____ Women tend to use more positive and affectionate (深情的) words and phrases such as “sunshine” or “I loveyou”, while men often use sports-related passwords. In some countries, men use more swear words than women.
Choosing long and complex passwords remains the main authentication mechanism (身份验证机制) for computers and network-based products and services. But we know people continue to choose weak passwords and often don’t manage them securely. ____48____
To overcome the security issues linked with password-based authentication systems, researchers and developers are now concentrating on creating authentication systems which don’t depend on passwords at all. ____49____ For example, two-factor authentication (2FA) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods are good ways to secure your accounts. These methods combine a password with biometric information (for example, a face scan or fingerprint) or something distinguishable, like a captcha (验证码). All in all, a secure password is the first line of defense against cyber attacks. Don’t give up security for convenience.
A. They need the support of computer experts.
B. The findings show that passwords tell our emotions.
C. People in some countries take inspiration from a football team.
D. The report also reflected different preferences between genders.
E. These are among the most popular passwords around the world.
F. Besides, there are other ways to protect your personal information.
G. As a result, they put themselves under potential online security threats.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第49—51题各2分,52题6分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息,完成对该问题的回答。
In 1983, Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard, published Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In the book, he presented one type of intelligence that everyone must develop if they want to be successful. That is emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize and control your own emotions. It means having a deep understanding of yourself, knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, and handling reactions and emotions wisely. Emotional intelligence is key to success in almost any field and it is especially important for high-stress environments, for example, when times are tough and when a person wants to quit or is fearful.
We all know highly emotional people. Rather than react wisely they tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret. I’ve seen many people do this on social media, getting in arguments with loved ones over unimportant things because they have different opinions. This inability to master the self leads to many struggles and heartaches for people.
Emotional intelligence does not mean being void (没有) of emotions. It means you know it is okay to be angry, just not out-of-control angry. You know it’s okay to feel hurt, but it is not okay to do something stupid in the name of revenge (报复). Many of us know people who are very intelligent, but allow their emotions to damage their lives.
Now, think deeply on how you manage your emotions. Are you smart in the way you express what you’re feeling, especially when the pressure is on?
50. According to the passage, what is “emotional intelligence”?
________________________________________________
51. In what occasion is Emotional Intelligence especially important?
________________________________________________
52. How do highly emotional people deal with their emotions?
________________________________________________
53. In your daily life, what can you do to better manage your emotions? Please give some examples.

Trying to find the perfect present is about as easy as trying to read someone’s mind. Few people will actually tell you what they want for a special occasion and most of the time your loved ones will insist that they don’t need or want anything! So, what to do? Here are some tips that could help.
Start Early
Starting your shopping early can have many advantages. For instance, it gives you enough time to come up with ideas for what you should buy your friends or family members. Moreover, the closer it gets to holidays, the higher the prices go up. So, save your money by being an early bird.
Make a List
Here, you can write down everything your friends or family members love. This can include food, hobbies, experiences, and more. Then try to determine how to use this information to find a gift that perfectly suits them. If you are lucky, you should be able to find good ideas in one of these lists.
Think outside the Box
Often, the reason why you get stuck for gift ideas is that you only focus on the same kind of presents. If you are still coming up empty, it is time to get creative. You can find something your friends or family members can use every day. When in doubt, you can simply put smaller presents together to make up a larger, more meaningful gift.
Gift an Experience
In case you are still feeling a little stuck, go ahead and find something that the two of you can do together. It may be a class, or anything else where you can enjoy each other’s company. In short, you will be able to give them the gift of friendship.
31. Start your shopping early can help you _______.
A. buy gifts in lower prices

Mitchell Wollen is a student at Xavier High School in Connecticut, US. When his school shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic (新冠疫情), he found that he had a big block of free time, and he decided to make a difference.
“My friend and I were brainstorming,” said Wollen. “We thought we’d make these hearts for people on the frontline who are sacrificing (牺牲) everything for us.”
Wollen made a model -- a wooden heart painted red with the words “Thank You” on the sign. People could put them on their front lawns to thank healthcare workers. To encourage such kindness, his mom Julie posted this on her Facebook page in early April.
After that, Wollen didn’t have any more free time. In the first week, he had 100 orders for the hearts. Filling the orders was time-consuming.
When distance learning started up, Wollen had schoolwork to do for six or seven hours a day. However, being busy with schoolwork didn’t stop him from making more signs.
After his school wrote an article on Wollen and posted it on Facebook, more people ordered signs from him.
People can donate (捐赠) $10 for his cause. It has so far helped Wollen raise more than $1,600. He plans to use the money to buy meals for healthcare workers.
He has talked with people at several medical centers in his state, hoping to bring food to the workers. Among them, Gaylord Hospital has responded. After connecting with his mother’s friend, who owns a coffee truck, Wollen planned to pay the people who run the coffee truck to offer free coffee to the healthcare workers from Gaylord Hospital.
“Everybody’s having a tough time right now,” he said. “I just want to spread positive energy and help those who are struggling in these times.”
Currently, Wollen isn’t taking any more orders for signs since he still has about 100 orders to fill. However, he hopes to be able to make more in the future and that people like him can find ways to show support during this troublesome period.
34. Why did Mitchell Wollen make wooden hearts?
A. To kill time in the free time.
B. To make some pocket money.
C. To show off his hands-on skills.
D. To express thanks to selfless people.
35. What can we infer about Wollen from the article?
A. He was highly praised by his school.
B. He asked his mom to advertise for him.
C. He wanted to get known on the Internet.
D. He gave up making hearts when he was busy.
36. How does Wollen plan to use the money?
A. He will use it to start a food business.
B. He plans to support a coffee truck owner.
C. He will buy coffee for healthcare workers.
D. He plans to use it to complete more orders.
37. Which of the following best describes Wollen?
A. Creative and thoughtful.
B. Cheerful and humorous.
C. Brave and kind-hearted.
D. Outgoing and hardworking.
【答案】34. D 35. A 36. C 37. A

Chemists have spent the past century trying to make plastics that will break down in seawater. As it is, most plastics appear to take centuries to fully degrade in the ocean. But that may change. Scientists have just designed a new plastic that can break down in seawater within weeks, not decades or more.
Back in the 1930s, scientists created a now-popular plastic out of corn and potato starch (淀粉). It’s known as polylactide, or PLA. It’s a polymer (聚合物), which is a molecule made by linking many building blocks — called monomers — into a long string. Scientists had hoped PLA would quickly break down in the environment. And in some places, like compost pits (堆肥坑), it does. But not in seawater. Even after three years in ocean water, PLA remains largely unchanged.
Timo Rheinberger is a PhD student at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. His work on polymers has focused on boosting PLA’s breakdown. As part of that work, he became part of a team that just added some RNA-inspired breaking points to PLA. They put those breaking points in places where monomers in the PLA molecules are linked.
They weakened the links that joined up to 15 percent of a PLA’s monomers. Then, they soaked their samples in artificial seawater and measured how fast these tweaked versions of PLA broke down. The expected final product of PLA’s breakdown was a small molecule called lactic acid. So, they tested for that too.
As the team had hoped, seawater attacked the weakened links between monomers, splitting the polymer chain apart. The more breaking points the researchers added to the polymer, the faster the PLA broke down.
When they weakened 15 percent of PLA’s monomer links, the polymer broke down entirely within just two weeks. When they weakened only 3 percent of the links, the breakdown took about 2 years. This suggests the team can design how quickly PLA will break down in water by adjusting how many weakened links it has.
Mehlika Karamanlioglu teaches biomedical engineering at Istanbul Gelisim University. She, too, has studied environmental breakdown of PLA. “It’s a new approach,” she says of the Dutch technique. Theirs is also “an early-stage study,” Karamanlioglu says. So, more testing must follow. Scientists want to know how the strength of the new PLA compares to old PLA.
Rheinberger agrees. “You need a lot of material to start those studies,” he adds. And so far, his team has made only small amounts of the modified PLA.
Karamanlioglu notes the Dutch team also tested the breakdown of its PLA in artificial seawater. “I wonder if they checked [the water] for pollution,” she adds. If there were microbes (微生物), those microbes may have produced molecules called enzymes that sped up the PLA’s degradation.
38. What can we learn about PLA from the passage?
A. Lactic acid prevents the breakdown of PLA.
B. PLA breaks down faster in artificial seawater.
C. PLA’s breakdown relies on that of monomers.
D. Compost pits are the best places for PLA’s breakdown.
39. What is Mehlika’s attitude towards the findings of the Dutch team?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.
40. What can be learned from the last three paragraphs?
A. Mehlika is confident about the application of the new PLA.
B. The cleanness of water also affects the breakdown of PLA.
C. The new PLA has better strength than the old PLA.
D. The new PLA have been produced in large amounts.
【答案】38. C 39. D 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家设计出一种能在海水中快速分解的新型塑料及其研究过程。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“As the team had hoped, seawater attacked the weakened links between monomers, splitting the polymer chain apart. The more breaking points the researchers added to the polymer, the faster the PLA broke down. (正如研究小组所希望的那样,海水攻击了单体之间薄弱的连接,使聚合物链断裂。研究人员在聚合物中添加的断点越多,PLA分解的速度就越快。)”和第六段“When they weakened 15 percent of PLA’s monomer links, the polymer broke down entirely within just two weeks. When they weakened only 3 percent of the links, the breakdown took about 2 years.(当他们削弱PLA 15%的单体连接时,聚合物在两周内完全分解。当他们只削弱了3%的联系时,这种破坏持续了大约2年。)”可知,PLA的分解依赖于单体的分解。故选C项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段“She, too, has studied environmental breakdown of PLA. “It’s a new approach,” she says of the Dutch technique. Theirs is also “a preliminary study,” Karamanlioglu says. So, more testing must follow. (她也研究过PLA的环境破坏。“这是一种新方法,”她谈到荷兰的技术时说。Karamanlioglu说,他们的研究也是“初步研究”。因此,必须进行更多的测试)”可推断,Mehlika对荷兰研究小组的发现持谨慎态度。故选D项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据后三段,尤其是最后一段“Karamanlioglu notes the Dutch team also tested the breakdown of its PLA in artificial seawater. “I wonder if they checked [the water] for pollution,” she adds. If there were microbes (微生物), those microbes may have produced molecules called enzymes that sped up the PLA’s degradation. (卡拉曼利奥卢指出,荷兰团队还测试了其 PLA 在人工海水中的分解情况。“我想知道他们是否检查了[水]是否有污染,”她补充说。如果有微生物,这些微生物可能会产生称为酶的分子,从而加速 PLA 的降解。)”可推知,水的清洁度也会影响PLA的分解。故选B项。
D
In the 1970s, a gorilla (大猩猩) known as Koko became world-famous when scientists taught her to use human sign language to communicate with people. There were numerous attempts in the mid-1900s to teach human language to nonhumans, such as Koko. But what we should have been thinking about was their abilities to engage in complex communication on their own terms instead of trying to teach an animal to talk to us in human language.
Today scientists are trying to figure out how living things already share information using their particular methods. This new field of study is known as digital bioacoustics, and it involves using tools to understand the production of sounds and their effects on living things.
Scientists in this field are using sensors, which are devices that pick up and record information on physical or chemical conditions. Some are also using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, an approach that uses algorithms (算法). The same algorithms that we use in tools such as Google Translate to translate documents can also be used to find patterns in nonhuman communication.
Jeremy of Tel Aviv University studied nearly two dozen Egyptian fruit bats for two and a half months and recorded their vocalizations. His team adapted a voice-recognition program to study 15,000 of the sounds. The algorithm matched specific sounds with specific things the bats were doing. Using this program, the researchers were able to classify most of the bats’ sounds. Jeremy and other researchers have found that bats have a much more complex language than we previously understood. Bats argue over food; they distinguish (区分) between genders when they communicate with one another and they have individual names, or “signature calls”.
That’s a great example of how AI is able to find these patterns from information gathered by sensors and microphones. AI reveals things that we can’t hear with our human ears alone because most bat communication happens above our hearing range, and because bats speak much faster than we do, we have to slow it down to listen to it. So we cannot listen like a bat, but our computers can. And our computers can also speak back to the bat by producing specific patterns.
Digital bioacoustics is like an amazing hearing aid. It lets us listen to animals with both our digitally enhanced (增强的) ears and our imagination. This is slowly opening our minds not only to the wonderful sounds that nonhumans make, but to a fundamental set of questions about the so-called divide between humans and nonhumans, as well as our connection to other species. It’s also opening up new ways to think about protecting living things and our relationship with the planet. It’s pretty meaningful.
41. Regarding scientists’ efforts to teach animals human language, the author feels ________.
A. negative B. unconcerned C. uncertain D. supportive
42. Scientists in digital bioacoustics are trying to study ________.
A. how animals use different tools to share information
B. how animals are affected by the production of sounds
C. how animals are taught to talk in human sign language
D. how animals communicate with one another using sounds
43. What can we learn about AI applied in digital bioacoustics?
A. It pairs certain animals’ sounds with their behaviors.
B. It slows down animals’ sounds within humans’ hearing range.
C. It adapts voice-recognition programs to analyze animals’ sounds.
D. It translates specific nonhuman sound patterns into human language.
44. According to the passage, the author may agree that ________.
A. animals can be classified according to their sound patterns
B. scientists need to keep studying how animals produce sounds
C. digital bioacoustics may inspire humans to rethink their relationship with animals
D. the focus of digital bioacoustics should be the divide between humans and nonhumans
【答案】41. A 42. D 43. A 44. C

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you use “123456”, “password’’ or “qwerty” as a password, you’re probably aware that you’re at the risk of being attacked by hackers (黑客). But you’re not alone. ____45____ Recently, password management service NordPass has carried out a study to determine the 200 most commonly used passwords around the world. They analysed the data across 50 countries.
The findings show password choices are often attached to cultural references. ____46____ In the UK, “liverpool” was the third most popular password, with 224,160 hits, while the name of Chilean football club “colocolo” was used by 15,748 people in Chile, making it the fifth most common choice.
____47____ Women tend to use more positive and affectionate (深情的) words and phrases such as “sunshine” or “I loveyou”, while men often use sports-related passwords. In some countries, men use more swear words than women.
Choosing long and complex passwords remains the main authentication mechanism (身份验证机制) for computers and network-based products and services. But we know people continue to choose weak passwords and often don’t manage them securely. ____48____
To overcome the security issues linked with password-based authentication systems, researchers and developers are now concentrating on creating authentication systems which don’t depend on passwords at all. ____49____ For example, two-factor authentication (2FA) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods are good ways to secure your accounts. These methods combine a password with biometric information (for example, a face scan or fingerprint) or something distinguishable, like a captcha (验证码). All in all, a secure password is the first line of defense against cyber attacks. Don’t give up security for convenience.
A. They need the support of computer experts.
B. The findings show that passwords tell our emotions.
C. People in some countries take inspiration from a football team.
D. The report also reflected different preferences between genders.
E. These are among the most popular passwords around the world.

第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第49—51题各2分,52题6分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息,完成对该问题的回答。
In 1983, Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard, published Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In the book, he presented one type of intelligence that everyone must develop if they want to be successful. That is emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize and control your own emotions. It means having a deep understanding of yourself, knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, and handling reactions and emotions wisely. Emotional intelligence is key to success in almost any field and it is especially important for high-stress environments, for example, when times are tough and when a person wants to quit or is fearful.
We all know highly emotional people. Rather than react wisely, they tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret. I’ve seen many people do this on social media, getting in arguments with loved ones over unimportant things because they have different opinions. This inability to master the self leads to many struggles and heartaches for people.
Emotional intelligence does not mean being void (没有) of emotions. It means you know it is okay to be angry, just not out-of-control angry. You know it’s okay to feel hurt, but it is not okay to do something stupid in the name of revenge (报复). Many of us know people who are very intelligent, but allow their emotions to damage their lives.
Now, think deeply on how you manage your emotions. Are you smart in the way you express what you’re feeling, especially when the pressure is on?
50. According to the passage, what is “emotional intelligence”?
________________________________________________
51. In what occasion is Emotional Intelligence especially important?
________________________________________________
52. How do highly emotional people deal with their emotions?
________________________________________________
53. In your daily life, what can you do to better manage your emotions? Please give some examples.
________________________________________________
【答案】50. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and regulate your own emotions.
51. Emotional intelligence is key to success in almost any field and it is especially important for high-stress environments.
52. Rather than react wisely, highly emotional people tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret.
53. I manage my emotions in two ways. Firstly, I like writing down my bad feelings, which enables me to let go of them so that I can focus more on what makes me cheerful. Secondly, when conflict occurs, it helps to talk openly about my feelings and thoughts.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是什么是情商,高情商和低情商的人分别有什么表现。
【50题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段的“Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and regulate your own emotions.(情商指的是识别和调节自己情绪的能力。)”可知,情商指的是识别和调节自己情绪的能力,故答案为Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and regulate your own emotions。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。第二段最后一句提到“Emotional intelligence is key to success in almost any field and it is especially important for high-stress environments, for example, when times are tough and when a person wants to quit or is fearful.”(情商几乎在任何领域都是成功的关键,在高压力环境中尤其重要,例如,当形势艰难,当一个人想要放弃或感到恐惧时。)由此判断,在高压环境下高情商显得尤为重要。故答案为Emotional intelligence is key to success in almost any field and it is especially important for high-stress environments.。
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段的“We all know highly emotional people. Rather than react wisely, they tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret.(我们都认识高度情绪化的人。他们没有做出明智的反应,而是倾向于让自己的情绪控制自己的生活,经常说或做一些事后可能会后悔的事情。)”可知,高度情绪化的人倾向于让他们的情绪控制他们的生活,经常说或做一些事后可能会后悔的事情,故答案为Rather than react wisely, highly emotional people tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret。
【53题详解】
考查推理判断。根据客观事实,首先,我喜欢写下我的不好的感觉,这能让我放开它们,这样我就能更多地关注让我快乐的事情。其次,当冲突发生时,公开谈论我的感受和想法会有帮助。故答案为I manage my emotions in two ways. Firstly, I like writing down my bad feelings, which enables me to let go of them so that I can focus more on what makes me cheerful. Secondly, when conflict occurs, it helps to talk openly about my feelings and thoughts.。
