Lil X wore a traditional cotton coat designed by a Chinese designer, standing out among guests in business suits. He also carried a distinctive tiger-head bag which caught many people’s attention.

Mary did not say anything. She did not know what to think. “I know I should be sad,” she thought, “but I am not very sad. Maybe it’s because I didn’t see my parents often.

They allow people to manage their homes from anywhere, making life more convenient and enjoyable. However, they also come with safety risks that you may not notice. Some smart home devices are often rushed to the market, without enough safety testing. As a result, some baby monitors (监视器) and cameras have been hacked (非法入侵). so hackers (黑客) could spy (暗中监视) on others and even control their devices. Many experts believe that with smart home devices, you shouldn’t ask “if” they will be hacked, but “when”, because many of these devices are easy to hack and don’t have strong protection. If hackers break into your devices, they could get your Wi-Fi password (密码) or other saved personal information. Criminals (犯罪分子) might monitor your device activity to find out when you get up, when you’re not at home, when you come back from work and so on. What’s more, many people control their smart devices through smartphones, which means some important personal information could be at risk. Although the risks of smart home devices might sound scary, there are several ways to stay safe. One of the easiest ways is to keep devices updated (更新). Companies often put out new versions (版本) to replace the old ones, so be sure to update your systems regularly. Another important way is to protect your network. Use a strong Wi-Fi password, turn on network encryption (加密), and consider setting up a guest network for your smart devices. This will help stop strangers from visiting your network and devices. 52. Why do many people use smart home devices? A. Because they are so cheap. B. Because they are very safe to use. C. Because they make homes more beautiful. D. Because they make their lives easier to manage. 53. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. How to keep your smart devices safe. B. Why smart home devices are expensive. C. How hackers break into your computers. D. The dangers of using smart home devices. 54. Which is the way to protect the network? A. Update the device systems on a regular basis. B. Operate smart home devices with mobile phones. C. Launch new system versions to take the place of old ones. D. Set a complex Wi-Fi password and enable network encryption. 55. What is the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 “Are we alone? What’s out there?” 56 However, scientists made up their minds to make it come true. After many tests, they succeeded in making rockets that could overcome Earth’s gravity (重力). Ever since then, humans’ exploration (探索) of space (太空) has begun. 57 China’s space program started late in the last century, but it has made great progress in a short time. China became the third country in the world to independently send humans into space in 2003. In 2022, China set up its own space station, Tiangong. 58 More recently, the Shenzhou-22 manned spaceship was successfully sent into space on November 25th, 2025. Besides the exploration near the Earth, many countries are doing some research on other planets. 59 Planets like Mars might be safe enough for humans to live on. This shows that exploring other planets could help find humanity’s future homes. There is still a long way for humans to go to explore space. If you are interested in space walking, go for your dream. 60 Maybe you will become one of the engineers who work on China’s space exploration. A. China has never stopped its steps in exploring space. B. It certainly requires a lot of hard work and a strong will. C. Human space exploration mainly depends on foreign technology. D. People have always looked up at the stars and wondered about space. E. It is large enough to allow astronauts to carry out many important scientific studies. F.
