21、 When it comes to modern communication, security is a big concern. It seems like we’re forever hearing about hackers leaking(泄露) emails, passwords and other important personal information.
But thanks to a breakthrough by Chinese scientists, who won the 2018 Newcomb Cleveland Prize in February, we may soon never have to worry about our data again. This is thanks to the satellite called Micius that uses cutting-edge technology to send and receive information.
Micius is the first satellite of its kind to use quantum key distribution(量子密匙分发), which uses particles (粒子) that transmit(传输) light to transfer information from one point to another. Currently, it can communicate with two base stations(基站), both of which are located high up in the mountains in two different areas of Tibet, around 1,200 kilometers apart. Data is sent between the satellite and one of the base stations in the form of a ray of light. This makes it almost impossible for data sent and received using quantum satellite technology to be stolen, as the connection will be broken if someone tries to hack it.
“Any eavesdropper(偷听者) on the quantum channel attempting to gain information … can be found by the communicating users,” the scientists wrote in the paper.
However, the technology does have a few limitations. For example, the process only works at night, as the information isn’t able to pass through sunlight.
Despite these small issues, the scientific community across the world has reacted positively to China’s achievements in this groundbreaking project.
“This Chinese experiment is a quite remarkable technological achievement,” Artur Ekert, a professor of quantum physics at the University of Oxford, told BBC News.
And Karl Ziemelis, an editor for Nature, told Xinhua, “It’s a testament(见证)to China’s investments and significant efforts in the physical sciences that this group has been able to push research in practical quantum communication technologies to such an astronomical(天文学的)height.”
【1】According to the passage, why Micius is safe for transporting messages?
A.Because it is only data base located in space, which cannot be touched.
B.Because it only works at night, as the information isn’t able to pass through sunlight.
C.Because it uses particles that transmit light to transfer information from one to another.
D.Because it doesn’t score any important private information like passwords and e-mails.
【2】Which of the following can best describe scientists’ words in the paper?
A.It gave out the working principle of Micius.
B.It tells of a kind of scientific appearance.
C.It warned hackers not to steal information from Micius.
D.It is a more apparent explanation of its safety.
【3】What’s the main problem of Micius?
A.Its core technology is controlled in foreign countries.
B.Light is a must in its working process.
C.Its safety performance needs improving.
D.Sunlight has a deadly influence on its working.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Leaping into an age of secure data
B.How should you avoid information hackers
C.Old Problem, New Approaches
D.Taking on data theft

23、 There are lots of things to pay attention to when the new school year starts. Although it is exciting for students, this yearly transition can also be a big source of stress. 【1】Here are some ways to make your back-to-school experience as smooth as possible.
Get organized.【2】 You can set up a system that you can use right from the beginning of the term. Some students find that a colorful binder(活页夹)helps them keep all their assignments in order. Others might benefit from keeping a weekly plan in a notebook.
Make a schedule. Outline a daily plan for school projects, social events and activities. Make sure you record your assignments in the same place every week. Next, we suggest separating assignments into smaller, manageable steps, and then ordering those steps according to the project due date.【3】 Finally, these steps will help you learn the time management skills.
【4】One of the most important things you can do to ensure a great school year is to understand how you learn best. Some children absorb information by listening; other students do best when information is conveyed visually, through charts or illustrations.
Remember to take breaks.【5】 As time goes by, they also seem to get fuller. Don't forget to build breaks into your routine. Even a two-minute walk around the house or quick snack can work wonders for a busy brain. We all need to take moments to reset our minds.

24、 One of the most common remarks about today’s emerging adults (18- to 29-year-olds) is that they’re lazy. They expect work to be fun, and if it’s not fun, they refuse to do it. It’s true that emerging adults have high hopes for work. Ian, a 22-year-old, chose to go into journalism, even though he knew that: “ If I’m a journalist making $20,000 a year, my dad ( a wealthy physician )makes vastly more than that.” More important than the money was finding a job that he could enjoy. The great majority of emerging adults spend most of their twenties in a series of dull and low-paying jobs as they search for something better. It’s unfair to consider the many hard-working emerging adults with a stereotype (刻板模式) that is true for only a small percentage of them.
Another widespread slur against emerging adults is that they are selfish. It’s probably true that most emerging adults today grow up with a higher level of self-respect than in previous generations. Their Baby Boomer parents keep telling them: “You’re special!”“You can be whatever you want to be.” Popular culture has conveyed similar messages in movies, television shows and songs. But that doesn’t mean they’re selfish. It simply means that they are highly confident in their abilities to make a good life for themselves.
Strangely, these stereotypes continue even though there is persuasive evidence to the contrary. Rates of violent crime committed by young men have dropped. Not only have bad things gone down, but good things about this generation have gone up. Nearly 90 per cent of American college freshmen reported doing volunteer work in the past year, the highest level ever. Furthermore, applications to post-college volunteer programmes have reached record levels. Young Americans are also more tolerant and accepting of diversity than older generations.
The origins of the many prejudices against today’s emerging adults are complex, but maybe one key reason is that many of their elders still use old yardsticks to measure their progress. The pace of social, economic and technological change over the past half-century has been quick, and what is “normal” among young people has changed so fast that the rest of society has not yet caught up.
【1】Ian chose to be a journalist because__________.
A.he followed his father’s advice
B.journalists make big money
C.he loved the job very much
D.It’s an interesting job
【2】In the author’s opinion, Baby Boomer parents contribute to their children’s __________.

A.To support the author’s viewpoint.
B.To keep readers’ interest in the text.
C.To make a summary of the first two paragraphs.
D.To provide background information of the next paragraph.

25、I love football. I started playing when I was nine years old, and football got me through difficult periods. It helped make me who I am today. And even though I did not _________ the National Football League (NFL), I sometimes think I got more from _________ that dream, but not realizing it.
My romance with football started when my dad _________ me, kicking and screaming, to join a league. I had no _________ to be there. I was naturally _________ and the smallest kid by far. _________ turned to awe when I met my coach, Jim Graham, a huge and strong guy. And he was really _________ and old-fashioned.
Coach Graham used to push me _________. I remember one practice _________. “You’re doing it all wrong, Pausch. Go back! Do it again!” I tried to do what he wanted. It wasn’t enough. “You __________ me, Pausch! Go to do push-ups after __________!”
When I was finally __________, one of the __________ coaches came up to me. “Coach Graham pushed you pretty hard, didn’t he?” he said.
“That’s a good thing,” the assistant told me. “When you’re doing badly and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they’ve __________ you.”
That __________ has influenced my whole life. When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s willing to tell you anymore, that’s a bad place to be. You may not want to hear it, but your __________ are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you __________.
When Coach Graham first got hold of me, I was such a weak kid with no __________ and no physical strength. But he made me realize that if I work hard enough, there will be things I can do __________ that I can’t do today. Even now, having just turned forty-seven, I can give you a three-point stance that any NFL lineman would be __________ of. I really felt grateful to Coach Graham for what he had done to me, though it surely didn’t feel good at that time to do so many push-ups after practice.
