Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess,but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. “123456” or “12345” are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers (and hackers) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure,working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!,Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date— 70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords;those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games. “Nag screens”that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences,the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt:“An attacker who canmanage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts. ” And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it’s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.26. People tend to use passwords that are _____.[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out[C] random numbers [D ] popular names【答案】A27. Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to _____.[A ] lack of research tools [C] limited time of studies[B ] lack of research funds [D] limited size of samples【答案】D28. It is indicated in the text that _____.[A] Indonesians are sensitive to password security[B] young people tend to have secure passwords[C] nag screens help little in password security[D] passwords for credit cards are usually safe【答案】C29. The underlined word “compromise” in Para. 5 most probably means _____.[A ] comprise [ B ] compensate[C] endanger [D] encounter【答案】C30. The last paragraph of the text suggests that _____.[A] net users regulate their online behaviors[B] net users rely on themselves for security[C ] big websites limit the number of guesses[D ] big websites offer users convenient access【答案】BText 2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain' s heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones’ foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast. Threats also included farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain’ s largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved.“Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments,’’ says Glancey. “At the time places like Stonehenge were just seen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.”“Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural history. ”But Lubbock couldn’t buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed government powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally,in 1882,it was voted into law. It had,however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain' s heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.31. According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 18(K)s was _____.[A] a royal property [B] utterly neglected[C] legally protected [D] a public property【答案】B32. One stone in Stonehenge fell over because _____.[A] rats weakened its foundation[B] farmers cut it to build houses[C] visitors carved pictures into it[D] visitors chipped pieces off it【答案】A33.Lubbock proposed a bill to _____.[A] push people to learn history[B] ensure government function[C] enforce ancient site protection[D]push visitors to behave properly【答案】C34. When the bill was voted into law in 1882, it had been made less _____.[A] severe [B] biased [C] implicit [D] complex【答案】A35. This text is mainly about _____.[A] a famous British Parliament member[B] the value of ancient heritages in the UK[C] the history and protection of Stonehenge[D] the origin of the Ancient Monuments Bill【答案】DPart BDirections: Read the texts from a magazine in which five women wrote to respond to an article on mother- daughter relationship. For questions 36 —40,match the name of each person to one of the statements (A -G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Lucy:As the mother of two girls,I was moved to tears by your article,because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don,t think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it’s really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives.Anna:My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotionbetween children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings. And celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Beth:There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between myself and him. The strange thing is years later. My own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creeping in...Clare:When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in her loveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on thingslike wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming,and hope that she enjoys her life.Ruth:I think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a newspaper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom arehotter and smarter than 1 was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them.Now match the name of each person (36 -40) to the appropriate statement.Note:there are two extra statements.Statements36. Lucy [A] You have spoken out the true feelings of mothers like me.37. Anna [B] It is helpful for mothers to reveal their hidden feelings.38. Beth [C] Emotionally mature mothers understand their daughters.39. Clare [D] I understand my mother now,being a mother myself.40. Ruth [E] You have expressed what most mothers feel but dare not say.[F] Do your duty as a mother and hope for the best for your daughter.[G] A mother should not envy her children and make public her improper feelings.【答案】36.A 37.E 38.D 39.F 40.GPart CDirections: Read the following text from which five sentences have, been removed.

Walking barefoot to the lake, playing shiftless in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. __41__Studies have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun exposure.

The earth has an electrical current. __44__ Although “earthing” or “grounding’,is considered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to reduce heart disease risk. So, walk around barefoot whenever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches.__45__ A 2011 British review of 11 studies found that people who exercised outside generally reported more energy and less anger. tension, and depression —all factors contributing to heart attack—than those who worked out indoors.[A] Exercising indoors is another option.[B] It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks.[C] Exercising outdoors may be more beneficial than working out indoors.[D] In Japan,walking through forests for healing has become a popular practice.[E] Direct contact with it may be a stabilizing force for good health.[H] As a doctor, I can tell you they are also very good for your heart,[G] You’ll get greater health benefits exercising where it’s green.【答案】41.F 42.B 43.D 44.E 45.CPart DDirections: Read the following text from which 10 words have been removed.

There are many quotes from the great inventor that are worth __51__ to memory.

If you spend all your time __53__ about past mistakes, you might not notice when real opportunity arrives,so by all __54__, learn from your mistakes —then put them behind you, roll up your sleeves and get back to work.Here’ s one more quote from Edison for us to think about : “If we all did the things we are __55__ of, we would astound ourselves. ’’[A] capable [B] close [C] combination[D]committing [E] contributing [F]creativity[G] difference [H] encouraged [I]examples[J] judged [K] means [L]rejected[M] typical [N] ways [O]worrying【答案】46.G 47.I 48.J 49.F 50.L 51.E 52.B 53.O 54.K 55.ASECTION III Writing(45 minutes)Directions: You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on your ANSWER SHEET.Part A56.You found some problem with the book you bought from a US online bookstore.

Lee rushed to the starting line only to realize the race had already begun. She was told to just start running and quickly fell into pace with the others. Meanwhile her mom found a spot at the finish line,expecting to congratulate her daughter within the hour.Concentrating on running,Lee didn’t realize until mile 4 that the finish line was nowhere in sight. Turning to another runner, she asked how much further. “That’s when it struck me I was in the half marathon instead of the 5k,” Lee said afterwards. Instead of dropping out, she decided to keep running.Realizing Lee wasn’t among the runners crossing the 5k finish line,her mom alerted race officials and the police. A police officer eventually found Lee on the course of the Flower City Half Marathon. The girl said she knew her family was worried but she couldn’t quit. She needed to finish the race. And as she finally crossed the finish line,after running 10 miles more than she had planned, her mother cried tears of joy. “I see her with a medal and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, she ran the other one, like for real’” she said. “She decided to just keep running and not give up. ”“I’m really proud,” said Lee, whose next race is this weekend.。

It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,”he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater intoa museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said good-by as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?A. It made room for new equipment.B. It signaled the closedown of the theater.C. It was done with the help of the audience.D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on?A. It was an all-time classic.B. It was about the history of the town.C. The audience requested it.D. The theater owner found it suitable.26. What will probably happen to the building?A. It will be repaired.B. It will be turned into a museum.C. It will be knocked down.D. It will be sold to the city government.27. What can we infer about the audience?A. They are disappointed with Bradford.B. They are sad to part with the old theater.C. They are supportive of the city officials.D. They are eager to have a shopping center.CAfter years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations —major food sources (来源) for the wolf –grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’ s beavers.As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red fores have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.28.What is the text mainly about?A.Wildlife research in the United States.B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.29.What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Tested.B.Separated.C.Forced out.D.Tracked down.30.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?A.Damage to local ecology.B.A decline in the park’s income.C.Preservation of vegetation.D.An increase in the variety of animals.31.What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Uncaring.DThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”32.What is the purpose of the Drivel AB?A.To explore new means of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older driver`s problems.D.To teach people traffic rules.33.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.34.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A.Improve their driving skills.B.Develop driver-assist technologies.C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.anize regular physical checkups.35.What is the best title for the text?A.A new Model Electric CarB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemC.Driving Service for eldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的学&科&网最佳选项。

以下是店铺为⼤家搜索整理的2017年全国英语等级考试三级真题附答案,希望能给⼤家带来帮助! Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about the future of reading. For questions 61-65, match the name of each person (61-65) to one of the statements (A-G)given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Paul: I think books will be more affordable. They are pretty expensive. Publishers are so silly be-cause they focus on "We're not going to be selling so many hardcover books at $26. " But you're going to sell infinitely more electronically, so what are you complaining about? I view it as a grea-ter opportunity. My e-reader is great because I travel, and I don't want to carry a billion things with me. David: I don't own an e-reader, and I've never read a page on an e-reader. I do everything I can to avoid more screen time. Not to play down the value of a physical book, when it comes to somebody investing in one, it's something you want to keep. You have to give readers a choice, between a ric- her experience with physical books, and a more lifeless experience through an electronic reader. James: The new immigrants don't shoot the old inhabitants when they come in. One technology tends to supplement rather than substitute. How you read is not as important as: Will you read? Will you read something that's a book-the sustained train of thought of one person speaking to another? Search techniques are embedded in e-books that invite people to dip into something rather than follow a full train of thought. Alex: We've maintained in the last few years there will be fewer bookstores. We have the best busi-ness model in the world. Books are still a majority of what we sell in stores, but they are becoming less and less. About 50 percent of physical books are sold in non-bookstore outlets, like drugstores and club stores. There are people with agendas in this industry, but the physical book is going no- where. William: E-readers take out the paper middleman and give me what I want from books: the words. My e-reader has allowed me to read more than ever. When I travel I can take five books with me all without cutting down a single tree or using any extra jet fuel. Books made of paper can be beautiful, but they are never as beautiful as the words in the best of them. Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements 61. Paul 62. David 63. James 64. Alex 65. William A. I prefer physical books to e-books. B. E-books are environmentally friendly. C. The market for physical books is shrinking. D. What counts is not how but how well you read. E. E-reading will benefit, rather than harm, publishers. F. The price of hardcover books will be greatly lowered. F. Non-bookstore outlets add to the growth of physical books. 参考译⽂ 下⾯这段⽂字是关于5个⼈对于未来阅读⽅式的不同观点。

PUBLIC ENGLISH TEST SYSTEM (PETS) LEVEL 3 2017年3月全国英语等级考试第三级笔试真题试卷SECTION ⅠListening(25 minutes)答案:BACDA BCDDB CDBBA CDCCD ABAADSECTION II Reading (50 minutes ) Part ADirections: Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess ,but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. “123456” or “12345” are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers (and hackers) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure ,working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!,Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date University obtained the biggest sample to date—— 70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords ;those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those than those protecting less important things, like access to games. “Nag screens” that protecting less important things, like access to games. “Nag screens” that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences ,the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt :“An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts. ” And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various various. So it’s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords. . So it’s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.26. People tend to use passwords that are _____.[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out[C] random numbers [D ] popular names【答案】A27. Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to _____.[A ] lack of research tools [C] limited time of studies[B ] lack of research funds [D] limited size of samples【答案】D28. It is indicated in the text that _____.[A] Indonesians are sensitive to password security[B] young people tend to have secure passwords[C] nag screens help little in password security[D] passwords for credit cards are usually safe【答案】C29. The underlined word “compromise” in Para. 5 most probably means _____.[A ] comprise [ B ] compensate[C] endanger [D] encounter【答案】C30. The last paragraph of the text suggests that _____.[A] net users regulate their online behaviors[B] net users rely on themselves for security[C ] big websites limit the number of guesses[D ] big websites offer users convenient access【答案】BText 2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain' s heritage——the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen? safeguard Britain' s heritageBy the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones’ foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast. Threats also included farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angr Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain’ s largest y, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain’ s largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved.“Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments,’’ says Glancey. “At the time places like Stonehenge were just seen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.”“Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural histor Darwin did for natural history. ” y. ”But Lubbock couldn’t buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed government powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally ,in 1882,it was voted into law. It had ,however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain' s heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.31. According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 18(K)s was _____.[A] a royal property [B] utterly neglected[C] legally protected [D] a public property【答案】B32. One stone in Stonehenge fell over because _____.[A] rats weakened its foundation[B] farmers cut it to build houses[C] visitors carved pictures into it[D] visitors chipped pieces off it【答案】A33.Lubbock proposed a bill to _____.[A] push people to learn history[B] ensure government function[C] enforce ancient site protection[D]push visitors to behave properly【答案】C34. When the bill was voted into law in 1882, it had been made less _____. [A] severe [B] biased [C] implicit [D] complex【答案】A35. This text is mainly about _____.[A] a famous British Parliament member[B] the value of ancient heritages in the UK[C] the history and protection of Stonehenge[D] the origin of the Ancient Monuments Bill【答案】DPart BDirections: Read the texts from a magazine in which five women wrote to respond to an article on mother- daughter relationship. For questions 36 respond to an article on mother- daughter relationship. For questions 36 ——40,match the name of each person to one of the statements (A -G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Lucy :As the mother of two girls ,I was moved to tears by your article ,because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don ,t think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it’s really normal and I any way because I feel like this. I think it’s really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives.Anna:My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings. And celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Beth :There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship betweenmyself and him. The strange thing is years later. My own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creeping in...Clare:When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in herloveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on thingslike wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming ,and hope that she enjoys her life.Ruth :I think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a newspaper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom arehotter and smarter than 1 was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them.Now match the name of each person (36 -40) to the appropriate statement. Note :there are two extra statements.Statements36.

All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. "123456" or "12345" are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers (and hackers) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date—70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners. Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords; those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games. "Nag screens" that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than thosewho had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. Despite their differences, the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt: "An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts." And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it"s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.(分数:5.00)(1).People tend to use passwords that are ______.(分数:1.00)A.easy to remember √B.hard to figure outC.random numbersD.popular names解析:[解析] 细节题。

星光灿烂的夜空只有在图片里才能见到。

不仅城市和郊区是这样,连乡村也是如此。

我们不但看不到星星,同样这也污染了夜空的环境。

如果光污染是人类进步所不可避免要付出的代价,那么这种损失或许可以被接受,但事实并非如此。

大多数人工白昼是不必要的,因为它们并非是用来增加夜晚安全或照明的,它们只是发出耀眼的光。

仅在美国一年就在此项上花费十亿多美元。

光污染给科学带来的影响更加严重。

科学家们需要用精密仪器观察极其细微的物体,这种观测需在没有空气污染和城市灯光的环境下才能进行。

例如,一些物体的影像可以提供宇宙遥远角落的信息,帮助我们了解地球实际形成的方式。

然而,这些物体发出的光线可能在到达地球时被人工光源所覆盖而消失。

减少光污染并不难,需要政府官员和公民们意识到这个问题并面对它。

就个人而言,仅在必要时使用照明,就能有助于大幅减少人工白昼现象。

闪耀在我们上空的星星是无价的文明遗产,我们必须尽我们所能去保护它。
