21、As people continue to use the Internet more, they share more information about themselves. It is important to protect yourself and stay safe online.
【1】 When searching for information online, you should check to make sure that you are accessing a trustworthy site. When you need that wireless (无线的) connection, always use private Wi-Fi. Installing ( 安装) antivirus software and enabling your firewall will add another layer of protection against hackers (黑客).
Besides, although our generation is often thought of as experienced in using social media, many people use the same password for their logins (登录). 【2】 Instead, you can create different passwords for each of your accounts. Using numbers and special characters (@, $, *) will make your passwords stronger.
【3】 By keeping your accounts private, you can see who is following you and has access to your posts. Don’t accept requests from people you don’t know. 【4】
While these tips can help you stay safe from getting hacked, you may still be hacked. 【5】 If you cannot get into your accounts, make sure you contact those companies as soon as possible. If your device (设备) has been hacked, it is best to completely remove your device storage. Stay safe!
A.First, you should keep your devices safe.
B.All things can cover the world in a moment.
C.It makes you wonder if they mean what they say.
D.Social media is also an easy place to learn more about you.
E.When this happens, it is important to change your passwords at once.
F.And make sure not to share sensitive information like your birthday or age.
G.This makes it easy for hackers to get your information with just one password.
22、 There are few things in life that are more irritating(令人愤怒的):You are mid-conversation with a friend. Suddenly he bursts out laughing,making you think you've made a brilliant joke. But then he says:"Sorry,I wasn't laughing at you,I just saw something really funny on micro blog. "He even begins replying to a text message or checking his e-mails.
The Guardian described the scene that a friend's face buried in a screen"a distinct 21 st-century problem". The phenomenon even coins a new word"phubbing",referring to the act of snubbing(冷落) others in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention. According to research by advertising agency McCann in the UK,37 percent of people feel it is worse not to answer a message than it is to"phub"your friends.
Phil Reed,a professor of psychology at Swansea University who has studied Internet addiction disorder,said many phubbers show symptoms of addiction to their mobile phone.
Like pointing or picking your nose,phubbing is widely considered rude,which can be seen from the popularity of"Stop Phubbing"campaign,which started in Australia by 23-year-old Alex Haigh who wants to shame people who snub friends and family they are with in favor of checking their mobile phone.
The campaign's website claims that"97 percent of people claim their food tasted worse while being a victim of phubbing"and"92 percent of repeat phubbers go on to become politicians".
According to Katy Steinmetz,reporter with Time,phubbing"has a much greater potential to hamper(阻碍)real-life connections by making people around us feel like we care more about posts than their presence". She believes it is the reason why the campaign can resonate(产生共鸣)with people and is getting press around the world.
In the UK,Glamour magazine even imagined just how Jane Austen would have satirized(讽刺)those in need of social etiquette(礼节)when it comes to using their smartphone. Or,to paraphrase(意译)the novelist,how it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man(or woman)in possession of a good smartphone must be in want of manners.
【1】The example in the opening paragraph is used to show
A.how people benefit from modern technology
B.how to reply text messages and e-mails properly
C.how to avoid hurting your friends'feelings
D.how mobile phone addiction damages our social relations
【2】The purpose of the"Stop Phubbing"campaign is to_
A.persuade people to stop using mobile phones
B.give professional advice to phubbing victims
C.help people realize the rudeness of phubbing behaviors
D.encourage people to spend more time with their family
【3】Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the article?
A.People who often phub are more likely to make a successful politician.
B.Pointing or picking one's nose are common symptoms of phubbers.
C.Phubbing is against human nature in that we do need real-life connections.
D.More than one third British would rather not answer a message than phub their friends.
【4】What is the tone of the last paragraph?
A.serious
B.humorous
C.doubtful
D.disagreeing

24、Escaping predators (食肉动物), digestion and other animal activities—including those of humans—require oxygen. But that essential ingredient is no longer so easy for marine life to obtain, several new studies reveal.
In the past decade ocean oxygen levels have taken a dive—an alarming trend that is linked to climate change, says Andreas Oschlies, an oceanographer at the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research in Germany, whose team tracks ocean oxygen levels worldwide. “We were surprised by the intensity of the changes we saw, how rapidly oxygen is going down in the ocean and how large the effects on marine ecosystems are,” he says. It is no surprise to scientists that warming oceans are losing oxygen, but the scale of the drop calls for urgent attention. Oxygen levels in some tropical (热带的) regions have dropped by an astonishing 40 percent in the last 50 years, some recent studies reveal. Levels have dropped less significantly elsewhere, with an average loss of 2 percent globally.
A warming ocean loses oxygen for two reasons: First, the warmer a liquid becomes, the less gas it can hold. That is why carbonated drinks go flat faster when left in the sun. Second, as polar sea ice melts, it forms a layer of water above colder, more salty sea waters. This process creates a sort of lid that can keep currents from mixing surface water down to deeper depths. And because all oxygen enters the surface, less mixing means less of it at depth.
Ocean animals large and small, however, respond to even slight changes in oxygen by seeking refuge in higher oxygen zones or by adjusting behavior, Oschlies and others in his field have found. These adjustments can expose animals to new predators or force them into food-scarce regions. Climate change already poses serious problems for marine life, such as ocean acidification, but deoxygenation is the most pressing issue facing sea animals today, Oschlies says. After all, he says, “they all have to breathe.”
Aside from food web problems, animals face various other physiological challenges as their bodies adjust to lower oxygen levels. Chinese shrimp (虾) move their tails less vigorously to preserve energy in lower oxygen environments. Some creatures, such as jellyfishes, are more tolerant of low oxygen than others are. But all animals will feel the impact of deoxygenation because they all have evolved their oxygen capacity for a reason, says Oschlies. “Any drop in oxygen is going to damage survivability and performance,” he says.
【1】According to the first two paragraphs, what worries scientists the most?
A.The worsening deoxygenation in the warming ocean.
B.The survival of predators and various marine animals.
C.The alarmingly changeable oxygen levels in the ocean.
D.The lack of attention to the warming of tropical oceans.
【2】Which of the following is a reason for the oxygen loss in the ocean?
A.Polar ice melting consumes much oxygen in the ocean.
B.Global warming reduces the amount of oxygen in the air.
C.The surface polar ice water prevents oxygen going down.
D.Salty water holds less gas in the increasingly warmer ocean.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Ocean deoxygenation changes some animals’ natural territories.
B.Ocean acidification is more serious a problem than deoxygenation.
C.Not all ocean animals are bothered by the decreasing oxygen levels.
D.Some animals reduce their movements in order to absorb more oxygen.
【4】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.The Oxygen Levels of Marine Life
B.Ocean Warming Affects Food Web
C.The Survivability of Ocean Animals
D.The Ocean Is Running Out of Breath
