This year researchers expect the world to snap 1.35 trillion photographs, or about 3.7 billion per day. All those pixels (像素) take up a lot of room if they are stored on personal computers or s phones, which is one reason why many people store their images in the cloud. But unlike a hard on drive which can be encrypted to protect its data, cloud storage users have to trust that a tech platform will keep their private pictures safe. Now a team of Columbia University computer scientists has developed a tool to encrypt (加密) images stored on many popular cloud services while allowing authorized users to browse and display their photographs as usual.
Malicious (恶意的) attempts to access or leak cloud-based photographs can expose personal information. In November 2019, for example, a bug in the popular photograph storage app Google Photos mistakenly shared some users' private videos with strangers. Security experts also worry about employees at cloud storage companies on purpose accessing users' images.
So the Columbia researchers came up with a system called Easy Secure Photos (ESP), which they presented at a recent conference. “We wanted to see if we could make it possible to encrypt data while using existing services,” says computer scientist Jason Nieh, one of the developers of ESP. “Everyone wants to stay with Google Photos and not have to register on a new encrypted-image cloud storage service.”
To overcome this problem, they created a tool that preserves blocks of pixels but moves them around to effectively hide the photograph. First, ESP's algorithm (算法) divides a photograph into three separate files, each one containing the image's red, green or blue color1 data. Then the system hides the pixel blocks around among these three files (allowing a block from the red file, for instance, to hide out in the green or blue ones). But the program does nothing within the pixel blocks, where all the image processing happens. As a result, the files remain unchanged images but end up looking like grainy black-and-white ones to anyone who accesses them without the decryption (解密) key.
4. What's probably the main purpose for people to store images in the cloud?
A. To save storage room.
B. To make photos beautiful.
C. To try a new storage way.
D. To keep their privacy safe.
5. Why might employees in cloud storage companies be distrusted by experts?
A. They sell users' passwords.
B. They have invented new tools.
C. They often let out personal information.
D. They may steal a glance at users' images.
6. What's the advantage of ESP?
A. It can provide clear images.
B. It can decrease the upload time.
C. It can classify images automatically.
D. It can encrypt data on the original platform.
7. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Method of decryption.
B. Image-processing technique.
C. Separate files of images.
D. Data analysisof color1 s.

In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact（影响）on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across town, coughing out emissions（产生排放）and using gas all the way. But now that we're used to staying at home and streaming movies, we might get a littleproud. After all, we're just picking up our phones and maybe turning on the TV. You're welcome. Mother Nature.
Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shift Project. According to "Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video", digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half-hour show would cause 1. 6 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. That's like driving 6. 28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers（where videos are stored）there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the BBC.
Streaming is only expected to increase as webecome more enamored ofour digital devices（设备）and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it increases. Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022. By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online.
You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there're things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it
consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it's also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your home if you're not using your devices.
8. What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in?
A. The environmental effects of driving private cars.
B. The improvements on environmental awareness.
C. The change in the way people seek entertainment.
D The environmental impacts of screaming services.
9. What does the underlined phrase become more enamored of" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Get more skeptical of.
B. Become more aware of.
C. Feel much crazier about.
D. Get more worried about.
10. What can we infer about the use of streaming services?
A. It is being reduced to protect the planet.
B. Its environmental effects are worsening.
C. It is easily available to almost everyone.
D. Its side effects have drawn global attention.
11. Which of the following is the most environmentally-friendly?
A. Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone.
B. Downloading music on a personal computer.
C. Uploading a lot of images of the same thing.
D. Playing online games over mobile networks.
D
Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two important ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot stand such a high rate of forest loss. The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A large amount of wastepaper ends up in landfills, where it can produce harmful gases and finally contribute to global climate change.
One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down trees, recycle existing paper to feed the paper-making process.
Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素)，which can be used repeatedly in papermaking. Unfortunately, it also means that paper waste takes a surprisingly long time to break down in landfills. So far, trees are the only source(来源) of cellulose that can fill the great demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees. Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper need not be the dark-color1 edstuff many of us are familiar with. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.
Effective recycling requires a continuous effort from everyone at all levels of society. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be developed.
The need is real. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it!
12. What can we infer from the text?
A. The use of recycled paper will double in 40 years.
B. Recycling paper helps relieve global climate change.
C. Wastepaper can easily break down in landfills.
D. There are not enough landfills for wastepaper.
13. What makes recycled paper more acceptable?
A. The great demand of trees.
B. The low processing cost.
C. Its dark-color1 ed feature.
D. Its improved print performance.
14. What does the author propose?
A. Punishing the act of cutting trees.
B. Recycling paper.
C. Improving recycling system.
D. Promoting paper industry.
15. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By analyzing causes and effects.
B. By offering research plans and data.
C. By discussing problems and solutions.
D. By comparing strengths and weaknesses.

The Littlest Hero
Angela Shymanski was in a hurry to hit the road. It was 8.30 am, the kids were fed and the car was packed with all the necessities for a road trip: a pop-up tent, toys and snacks for five-year-old Lexi, and, for ten-week-old Peter, a pink blanket and seven days'worth of clothes, all of which had been worn. No matter, thought Angela. It was 26℃in central Alberta, the hottest June 8 on record, so her baby would be fine for the eight hours home to Prince George in nappies (纸尿裤)only.
The 28-year-old Canadian had driven these nearly 800 kilometers alone before to visit friends and family. Her husband of eight years, Travis, a worker at an oil factory, couldn't come on the week-long holiday, but Angela, a swimming and first-aid instructor, was eager to show off Peter to her friends.
It was an important trip for Lexi, too. The morning they had left Prince George on June 1, 2015 marked the beginning of the 100-day countdown (倒计时)to kindergarten.
Exactly one year earlier, Lexi received the most important lesson of her young life, preparing for a future emergency. Lexi absorbed every instruction. She knew how to react in an unexpected accident.
As she was driving along the Icefields Parkway, Angela missed her first turnoff (岔道)，but decided to continue west on a slightly longer, more scenic route. The lost time would have been insignificant had it not been for a 30-minute stretch of road construction. The stops and starts had begun to bother Peter, who was now screaming in the back-facing car seat next to Lexi's. This calls for a nursery rhyme, Angela thought. She inserted a CD and hoped for the best.
“Zoom, zoom, zoom. We're going to the moon. Zoom, zoom, zoom. We're going to the moon.”
In no time, both children were napping in their car seats. Once out of the construction zone, Angela sped to just below the 100 km/h speed limit along the evergreen-lined road. The warmth of the sun, combined with the calming music, soon began to have a relaxing effect and made her sleepy, so Angela opened the window, hoping the breath of wind would keep her alert. She began searching for a rest stop.

2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Suddenly, in front of her appeared a sharp turn.
