A recent report led by Rahul Mahna's team from the University of East London found that an AI password cracker called PassGAN could crack any seven-digit password in less than six minutes -even if the passwords contained symbols,numbers,and capital and lowercase letters. Additionally,the AI cracked 51%of these usual types of passwords within a minute,65%within an hour,71%within a day and 81%within a month.After seeing these worrying results,you'll undoubtedly take online security more seriously. How can you protect your passwords from these hackers?Mahna suggests the following methods to help you protect yourself against hackers. Unique passwords everywhere Mahna emphasizes having different passwords for each website,device or service.Don't worry about remembering all these passwords,since password managers can not only store your passwords but can also generate unique combinations for you. Long passwords Using long passwords that include numbers,capital and lowercase letters and symbols-and are not easily understood or inferred-will enhance the protection element. Personal privacy Posting too much information online-like on Facebook or Instagram-about your life is not a good idea if you're concerned about security.It can provide information about your location, valuables and family. If you assume you've been hacked,don't scan for viruses or change passwords until you have disconnected from the Internet.The best way to handle an attack is to prepare in advance,like changing your passwords frequently. 21.What do we know about the AI password cracker PassGAN? A.It secures large data files. B.It attacks passwords quickly. C.It protects online accounts. D.It generates unique passwords. 22.How can we protect our passwords from being attacked? A.Remember all of our passwords. B.Limit personal information online. C.Create passwords related to family. D.Use a password for most websites. 23.What should you do first if you are attacked by a hacker? A.Scan the device for viruses. B.Change the passwords rapidly C.Reset the password manager. D.Cut off the Internet connection. 2026届高三下英语单元考二试卷第3页共10页 架 扫描全能王创建 B When Clara took over her grandfather's Brooklyn bookshop in 2018,the first thing she removed wasn't the outdated stocks,but the WiFi router.Regulars ptotested.A lawyer threatened to transfer his $500 monthly coffee budgel elsewhere."Books deserve the same undivided attention we demand from lovers."she told me.polishing the brass couhter her grandfather installed in 1967. Her stubbornness seemed self-desttuctive as stores around them closed down.Yet something unusual happened.By 2020,the shop had become an unofficial sanctuary ()Teenagers lay on Persian carpets with legs spread out with Dostoevsky,their phones forgotten in backpacks.A retired judge started hosting Saturday poetry circles where participants recited verses from memory -a practice Clara called "brain tattooing." The epidemic (should have been their death knell.Instead,when Clara launched "Survival Bundles"-handpicked books with handwritten notes-orders poured in from tech executives exhausted by Zoom.A Silicon Valley CEO admitted these were the first physical books he'd touched since graduate school."We're starving for texture,"Clara moted,wrapping parcels in recycled paper. Last winter,I found her battling a new threat.A property developer had purchased their building,tripling (the rent overnight.What unfolded next could fill a novel:customers organized protests on the sidewalk;the judge represented them for free;even the lawyer who once threatened to leave funded their legal defense. In the court,Clara quoted Melville:"We cannot live only for.ourselves.A thousand fibers connect us."The judge-her poetry circle regular-pronounced the rent increase unreasonable.

D.Prioritizing full concentration. 25.What does the underlined phrase"death knell"in paragraph 3 mean? A.A moment of celebration. B.A desperate cry for survival. C.An event marking the end.

Once we assign people or ourselves to a group,several psychological effects take hold.First of all.the group members assume an identity.A label is placed on them,which over time achieves a level of permanency.For example,if you decide yourself as belonging to the "I'm really not creative"group,you tend to view yourself as primarily and permanently uncreative.The longer this belief lasts,the harder it is to change. Moreover,groups provide us with a false sense of comfort.By joining the "I'm not creative" group,we also conveniently protect ourselves from moving beyond the borders of that group into new and often unfamiliar areas.Like birds that hesitate to leave their cages even when the door is open,we eschew the desire to get out of our comfort zone-not because we can't,but because we won't.There are not just many like-minded people in the group,but it offers a safe environment to work and play. But the problem doesn't end there.There is a tsunami of books and articles that use language such as the following:"Creative people are individuals like Leonardo,Edison,Picasso,or Einstein who have changed our culture in some important respects"and "Creative people are the ones who get ahead in their jobs,start new businesses,invent products...paint pictures,and make things of beauty."When reading these statements,we automatically assign ourselves to that "other group", knowing that we can never measure up. However,as psychological research has convincingly demonstrated,creativity is not exclusive to a select few;it is a birthright shared by everyone.So,be mindful of what you read.Sometimes, others may be putting you in a box without your knowing. 28.What does the text mainly discuss? A.Benefits of group identity. B.Ways to develop creativity. C.Harm in social categorization. D.Methods of dividing people. 29.What happens when people label themselves as uncreative? A.Their skills stop improving. B.Their mindset becomes fixed. C.They distrust pioneering ideas. D.They develop a stable personality. 30.What does the underlined word"eschew"probably mean in paragraph 3? A.Avoid. B.Analyze. C.Express. D.Welcome. 31.Which of the following may be the best title? A.Free from the Limits of our Mind B.Out of Your Mental Comfort Zone C.Creativity:Not Just for Geniuses D.Mind the Trap of Labels 2026届高三下英语单元考二试卷第5页共10页 扫描全能王创建 D The sporty all-electric car from the Netherlands resembles a BMW car.but is uique It captures more carbon than it cmits."Our cnd goal is to create a more sustainable future,"said Jens Lahaije,financc manager for TU/ccomotive,the Eindhoven University of Technology student team that created the car.Called ZEM,for zero emission mobility,the two-seater houses a Cleantron lithium-ion battery(锂电池)pack,and most of it3 parts are3D-printed f斤om recycled plastics, Lahaije said.The target is to minimize carbon dioxide emitted during the car's full lifespan,from manufacturing to recycling,he added. Battery electric vehicles emit virtually no CO2 during operation compared with combustion-engine(撚烧式发动机)vehicles,but battery cell production can create so much pollution that it can take EVs tens of thousands of miles to achieve“carbon parity(相同)y”with comparable fossil-fueled models. "Direct air capture is a fairly new method of cleaning the air by capturing CO2 into a filter( )We have made use of this innovative technology and implemented this in our car.The idea is very simple:while driving,air will move through our self-designed filters and the CO2 will be captured and stored."ZEM uses two filters that can capture up to 2 kilograms(4.41 Ib)of CO2 over 20,000 miles of driving,the Eindhoven team estimated.They imagine a future when filters can be emptied at charging stations,based on the fact that there is a nationwide charging infrastructure, which includes residential,commercial and public chargers across the country installed by the Energy Department,automakers and private businesses. The students are showing their vehicle on a US promotional tour to universities and companies from the East Coast to Silicon Valley,hoping to attract more financial support. It is hard to tell where the future will take the electric vehicles,but it is clear that they hold a lot of potential for creating a more sustainable future.In the end,only time will tell what road electric vehicles will take in the future. 32.What advantage does the newly-designed car have? A.It looks like a BMW car. B.It is more effective than traditional cars. C.It's a carbon-eating electric vehicle. D.It purifies air automatically. 33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The function of filters. B.The application prospect of the technology. C.The benefits of direct air capture. D.The operating mechanism of the technology. 34.What problem do the student team face according to the passage? A.Lack of research fund. B.Unpredictable application prospect. C.No permission from the government.D.Strong objection from the car companies. 35.What is Jens Lahaije's attitude toward the future of the sporty all-electric car? A.Doubtful. B.Confident. C.Concerned. D.Pessimistic. 2026届高三下英语单元考二试卷第6页共10页 扫描全能王创建 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Glance through your WeChat Moments or TikTok feed,and you'll see all kinds of posts:a friend strongly recommending a "magic study method"that guarantees top grades or a video claiming "eating chocolate every day prevents colds".36 The answer lies in critical thinking. Critical thinking doesn't mean being negative or arguing with everyone,but simply means taking a step back,asking questions,and refusing to accept information at face value.37 We tend to believe things that fit our existing ideas or that lots of people are talking about.But this autopilot mode can mislead us. Imagine your teammate suggests a plan that everyone else nods along with immediately in a group discussion.A critical thinker won't just agree to avoid conflict.Thcy ll ask:Do we have the resources to pull this off?Is there a better way to divide the work?38 These questions don't make you a troublemaker-they make the project stronger. 39 You've probably heard"you're either a math person or a language person".A critical thinker would look for evidence.Research on learning styles proves while people have preferences,anyone can improve at math or languages with the right method.Critical thinking turns you from a passive learner into an active one who takes charge of their own education. Next time you're about to hit"share"on a post or accept a "fact"as true,stop for 10 seconds.40 You'll be surprised by how much better your decisions become and how much more confident you feel in your own voice.After all,the smartest students aren't the ones who know all the answers-they're the ones who know how to ask the right questions. A.Our brains love shortcuts. B.Turn off your brain's autopilot. C.Does this plan fit our deadline? D.Why might they share this information? E.How do you decide which of these to believe? F.Activate the area where critical thinking is most needed. G.Critical thinking also shines in facing study misconceptions 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 2026届高三下英语单元考二试卷第7页共10页 扫描全能王创建 I always expected the41in any scenes-focusing on the 2%death rate of a 98%successful surgery and visualizing my son's mild cough as a rare 42 I became a_43mom.I checked the backyard for anything dangerous before letting David out to play.My husband argued I couldn't keep44our four-yer-old boy afl the time,but I insisted that I was protecting him.
