9.Every day,hundreds of thousands of us visit coffee shops.While we drink our coffee,we may connect our smartphone to the shop's Wi-Fi network,and keep in touch with friends via services such as Facebook.
As well as socializing,we may use the time and free access to a wireless connection to get on top of our finances.Transferring money from your account to others'accounts is nothing more than a few taps on your screen.
But what coffee drinkers do not realize is that lurking(潛伏) among their fellow coffee-lovers are bank robbers.
Unbeknown to you,this modern form of bank robber is silently collecting all your private data.The only sign of his thievery is perhaps a little smile as your bank log-in details appear on his screen.
You'll only realize when you later go to a cash machine to withdraw(提。﹕ome money,and discover that every penny in your account has been cleared out.
The common method for thieves is to use your smartphone's Wi-Fi connection.They rely on the fact that most of us are not careful about the security of networks we connect to.
For example,when you are in a coffee shop,your smartphone will present you with a list of available Wi-Fi networks that you can use to connect your phone to the Internet.Most of these networks are run by legitimate(合法的)companies,but sometimes they are actually created by a thief sitting nearby with little more than a laptop.
These networks are often given names,such as"Free Public Wi-Fi",which deceive smartphone users into logging in.On the surface,everything seems normal,and you will be able to connect just as you are with a legitimate Wi-Fi service.
However,because you have connected to a network controlled by a thief,he can monitor everything you do,enabling him to collect passwords and log-in details about your bank account.
21.The underlined phrase"get on top of"can be replaced byA.
A.handleB.give upC.cut offD.set up
22.What can we learn from the passage?C
A.Transferring money from your account to others'is a complex process.
B.It's easy for you to tell bank robbers from other coffee drinkers.
C.Online thieves could steal money because people pay little attention to the security of networks.
D.All the available networks in a coffee shop are illegal.
23.What's the author's attitude towards Wi-Fi traps?C
A.Positive.B.Negative.C.Objective.D.Indifferent.
24.What's the best title of this passage?A
A.Be cautious about free Wi-Fi networks.B.The thief who withdraws our money.
C.The convenience of free Wi-Fi networks.D.The process of stealing money.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了"免費公共Wi-Fi"有時候是危險的,網(wǎng)上小偷可以利用它偷錢

解答 21.A.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)文章As well as socializing,we may use the time and free access to a wireless connection to get on top of our finances可知我們可以用這個時間和免費的無線連接區(qū)處理我們的財務(wù)狀況,意為處理;故選A.
22.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章The common method for thieves is to use your smartphone's Wi-Fi connection.They rely on the fact that most of us are not careful about the security of networks we connect to可知網(wǎng)上小偷可以偷錢,因為人們很少關(guān)注網(wǎng)絡(luò)的安全性;故選C.
23.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章However,because you have connected to a network controlled by a thief,he can monitor everything you do,enabling him to collect passwords and log-in details about your bank account可知作者之講述了客觀事實,沒有發(fā)表自己的觀點;故選C.
24.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章These networks are often given names,such as"Free Public Wi-Fi",which deceive smartphone users into logging in.On the surface,everything seems normal,and you will be able to connect just as you are with a legitimate Wi-Fi service可知文章的目的是要我們小心免費無線;故選A.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

17.Who knows about sleep?Astronauts.They have to.Their bodies are cut off from the outside world that reminds us what time it is.But actually,it's even worse than that.An astronaut reported  in his diary that he was likely to  make mistakes on days following an unusually late bedtime.
So NASA started doing some serious research.They quickly realized that we're a slave to the outside world.Without light and darkness,we're unable to regulate (管理) sleep times.
Because of modern technology,we're all living more like astronauts now.Light is no longer a function of the sun,but of always-on indoor lights,TV and computer screens.Temperature no longer follows a cycle of cooling at night and warming during the day.Is it any wonder that a third of American have sleep problems?
Maybe you think this doesn't affect you---or at least not much.You're wrong.Research done on non-astronauts has shown the same thing.After two weeks of six hours of sleep a night,you're drunk.By the end of two weeks,the six-hour sleepers behaved as badly as those who hadn't slept for 24hours.
But what did they say when asked how they felt?"It's not affecting me."So if you are performing poorly because of sleep problems,you may have no idea.This is a real problem.
So what answers did NASA come up with?
Take an hour to calm down before bed.Yes,you're busy.But your time is not more valuable than an astronauts'.
Keep your bedroom dark,cool and free from noise.Even if you think"the light doesn't affect you"or"the noise isn't that bad",it can still affect sleep quality.
Another advice:forget the alarm clock in the morning; set an alarm to remind you to go to bed at night.When it goes off,finish up any work on the computer,and turn off any unnecessary lights.This prevents you from cheating yourself on sleep and allows you to wake up naturally.

29.What did NASA find about people's sleep?B
A.It takes a long time to develop regular sleep times.
B.It's strongly influenced by the outside world.
C.It remains untouched by outside influences.
D.It's hard to change one's sleep habits.
30.Paragraph 3is mainly aboutC.
A.different sleep types
B.the importance of a good sleep
C.the reasons why we have sleep problems
D.the disadvantages of modern technology
31.The biggest problem of those who haven't enough sleep lies in the fact thatB.
A.they can't fall asleep without the lights on
B.they don't know whether they sleep well
C.they refuse to regulate their sleep times
D.they get too drunk to sleep well.
32.What's the advice on the alarm clock?A
A.Use it to remind you it sleep.
B.Put it far away from your bed.
C.Get up immediately when it rings.
D.Listen carefully to it when it rings.

16.We can always hear voices comparing the education systems in China and the US.It's true that(61)thereexist a lot of differences,but this cannot be an excuse(62)forhaving a passive attitude toward studying in China.
When I came back from the US last year and continued my senior middle school education in China,I sensed many great differences.I thought that school in China was too hard for (63)us(we) students,and that we didn't get to do enough fun exercise except running around playgrounds together.My mom had a long talk with me.After that,I realized that though high school life in China is harder,it can give us (64)more(much).The pressure helps us learn the true meaning of competition (65)before we step into society.It gives us a strong heart and (66)teaches(teach) us to step forward no matter what the (67)reality (real) is.It's like climbing a mountain.You might feel dizzy and nervous,but the top is always there waiting for you as long as you are strong enough
(68)to take(take) one more step.
We complain(69)mainly(main) because we can't see the whole picture.(70)whatwe
all need to understand is that success takes efforts and tears.
