17. When did Google come out with Google Home

20. What is typical of the Mattel’s Aristotle
A. The lowest price. B. The earliest product. C. The best interaction
【答案】17. A 18. A 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】In 2014, Amazon released the world’s first voice-controlled “smart assistant”, called the Echo. It performed a variety of functions, including setting alarms, creating to-do lists, and providing real-time information such as weather, traffic and other news. Two years later, Google came out with the $180 Google Home. In 2017, the toy company Mattel came out with Aristotle, their idea of a personal assistant, aimed at kids. If you are in the market for one of these smart assistants, there are a number of things to consider. For instance, Google Home can answer a wide variety of questions and has a music library of 35 million songs. It also has many functions that work well with the TV, and is $50 cheaper than Amazon Echo. Echo can all be operated just by voice command. It has a music library of 2 million songs. Mattel’s Aristotle can do most of what the other two can, but is meant to be more of a personal companion to children. It can be used as a baby camera in your child’s early years, and still be useful until around middle school. It plays interactive games with them, reads to them, and serves as an instructional resource as the children grow up. In summary, all three have their benefits.

Five years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.
On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.
But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.
Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes. “Winners never quit (放弃) and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself.” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.
24. People began to know Wu Dajing by the time he .
A. won the second place at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games
B. won a gold medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games
C. won a gold medal at Pycong Chang Olympic Winter Games
D. entered the Pycong Chang Olympic Winter Games

A. Wu won a gold medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games four years ago.
B. Wu broke the world record with a time of 39.584 seconds and made history.
C. Wu’s coaches placed great hope on him when he joined the national team.
D. Chinese skaters in women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay took home the gold.
27. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us

B. Wu kept on practicing skating all year round even in the holidays for 10 years.
C. Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin were more hard-working on skating than Wu Dajing.

词义猜测题。根据第二自然段“BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.(英国广播公司说，武大靖的胜利是flawless，因为他比其他所有滑冰运动员都快得多。)”可知，因为他比其他所有滑冰者都快得多，因此英国广播公司评价说，武大靖的胜利是“完美的”。A. common.普通的；B. valuable珍贵的；C. perfect.完美的；D. difficult.困难的。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。第二段提到“He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal.”（他以39秒584的成绩创造了新的世界纪录。他也成为第一个获得奥运会短道速滑金牌的中国男子。）可知，他以39.584的时间打破了世界纪录。B项表述准确。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段““Winners never quit (放弃) and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself.” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.”（“成功者永不放弃，放弃者永不成功”。武大靖不想放弃，他都尽他所能努力工作。他一年四季都在练习滑冰。他甚至有10年没有回过家乡过节。“我相信我自己。他在奥运会比赛结束后对媒体说。）可知最后一段提到：正是勤奋、自信和坚强的意志使武大靖成为了赢家。故选D。

ChatGPT, a new chatbot model developed by US-based AI research laboratory OpenAI, has quickly become a hit globally due to its advanced conversational capabilities,
It can write emails, computer codes, even academic papers and poems, and has passed a number of tests within seconds. Academicians worldwide are discussing whether AI should be used in education. Some universities have banned it. The New York City’s Department of Education, for example, banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks, with some people warning that it could encourage more students to cheat, especially in exams.
Many more welcome this app, claiming that, like most technological advances and groundbreaking innovations in history, ChatGPT is a powerful tool for the development of higher education.
Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable. Higher education institutions should make preparations for including AI in their syllabus (教学大纲).

Besides, students with good knowledge of AI are more competitive when it comes to getting a good job, as an increasing number of jobs are being done by computer programmes-some in cooperation with humans, AI-powered education technologies can be adopted to make the learning experience more suitable for each student based on his or her strengths and weaknesses. As for professors, AI can free them from doing some dull tasks so they can concentrate on teaching and interacting with students.
Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting and enjoyable, humans need to work very hard to win the race with technology.
28. Why do some higher education institutions forbid ChatGPT
A. ChatGPT can write emails and computer codes quickly.
B. Some professors might not perform their duties properly.
C. Students would have conversations with each other via it.
D. Students might seek help from it in completing the exams.
29. What is the author’s attitude towards AI applications in education
A. Fearful. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
30. How can AI benefit students of higher education
A. It offers students an increasing number of jobs.
B. It personalizes students’ learning experience.
C. It equips students with competitive skills to cooperate with humans.
D. It handles uninteresting tasks so students can better focus on learning.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. We should guard against AI apps.
B. AI will be more widely used in education.
C. The future of education relies on AI apps.
D. Humans will be left behind by technology.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. B

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable.(建议尽早拥抱人工智能)”和最后一段中的“Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education.(既然我们无法避免ChatGPT和其他人工智能应用进入高等教育领域，我们应该共同努力，确保它们对社会和教育的未来产生积极影响)”可推知，作者支持人工智能在高校教育中的运用。故选C项。

If you’re a parent, you’re well aware of just how many challenges virtual schooling presents. It’s incredibly stressful to get your kids to pay attention in their “classrooms”. Well, now there’s another thing you need to worry about: hackers. As more school districts rely on remote learning, they’re increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals.
Believe it or not, your email address is actually a hacker’s primary method of attaining your families’ personal information. That’s why you need to be on the lookout for phishing emails. These emails appear to be from a legal company you’re familiar with—like your bank, credit card company, an online store, or, yes, a school—but are actually from a hacker.
However, there are a few tricks to decode if an email is fake or not. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), these emails often “tell a story to trick you into clicking on a link or opening an attachment.” If you receive an email asking you to update your account, change your password, or make a payment, do a little digging first and contact the company directly to ensure that it is indeed legal.
There are indeed some alarming things a hacker can do when they steal your children’s information. According to FTC, “a child’s Social Security number can be used by identity thieves to apply for government benefits, open bank and credit card accounts or apply for a loan, which may go unnoticed for years—usually until they’re adults and attempt to open a credit card.” To make matters worse, a criminal doesn’t even need the child’s complete information to cook up a new identity. “Known as ‘synthetic identity theft’, the thief grabs a Social Security number and combines it with a fake name, address, phone number, and more,” explains the Identity Theft Resource Center, “That makes it a little harder for victims and law enforcement to notice the problem in the first place or take action after the fact.”
32. Why do we need to watch out for phishing emails
A. They make our emails too crowded to operate.
B. They are from a legal organization that is familiar to you.
C. It is impossible to tell whether an email is authentic or not.
D. It may be quite easy for hackers to steal personal information.
33. Which method is effective to distinguish a phishing email from a legal one
A. To put it into the trash with little digging.
B. To click on the link and open the attached files.
C. To update your account and change the password.
D. To check its validity with the sender of the email.
34. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The definition of “synthetic identify theft”.
B. The approaches to protecting children’s information.
C. The consequences of children’s information being stolen.
D. The suggestions on preventing children from internet addiction.
35. What can be the best title of the passage
A. Email hack: a disastrous threat
B. Email hack: an unavoidable issue
C. School hack: an unnoticeable but terrible threat
D. School hack: an invisible hand affecting children’s study
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是网课期间，出现一种新的网络犯罪形式——黑客们入侵学校网站，给学生家里发送钓鱼邮件来盗取孩子们的个人身份信息，利用这些信息从事非法活动获利，这一犯罪形式虽不易察觉但破坏性较大。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Believe it or not, your email address is actually a hacker’s primary method of attaining your families’ personal information. That’s why you need to be on the lookout for phishing emails.(信不信由你，你的电子邮件地址实际上是黑客获取你家人个人信息的主要方法。这就是为什么你需要警惕网络钓鱼邮件。)”可知，我们需要提防钓鱼邮件的原因在于，黑客很容易通过钓鱼邮件来获得家庭成员的个人信息。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“If you receive an email asking you to update your account, change your password, or make a payment, do a little digging first and contact the company directly to ensure that it is indeed legal.(如果你收到一封要求你更新账户、修改密码或付款的电子邮件，先做一点调查，并直接联系该公司，以确保它确实合法。)”可知，区分钓鱼邮件的有效方法是做调查，与发送邮件方取得联系来确保邮件的合法性。故选D。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“There are indeed some alarming things a hacker can do when they steal your children’s information.(当黑客窃取你孩子的信息时，他们确实可以做一些令人担忧的事情。)”以及下文具体介绍了后果可知，最后一段主要讲的是儿童信息被盗的后果。故选C。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项
At 6 a.m., most of us are lucky if we have the energy to reach for a cup of coffee. It turns out the early bird may get more than the worm. There are ways to wake up with the sun, and we’ve got some tips on making it easier.
Get enough sleep.
It may seem obvious, but getting those recommended seven to nine hours will make getting up earlier easier. Pro tip Keep the laptop and other work out of the bed to sleep soundly.
Stay consistent.
___36___ A constant wakeup call may make it progressively easier to jump out of bed. When picking a new wakeup time, you should gradually work towards it. Remember to skip the beeps and blares and set an alarm tone to something peaceful or fun.
Skip the snooze (小睡).
Disrupting sleep an hour or so before actually getting out of bed may disturb our REM (rapid eye movement) cycle, which helps stimulate brain regions linked to cognition (认知). Don’t want to mess with that (or bug a roommate with multiple alarms!). Set one alarm for when it’s time to rise. ___37___
Let in the light or hit the gym.
Research shows a little light may be all we need to reset the body clock. ___38___ Or greet the day and brush your teeth outside! Those tired eyes may go away once a morning workout routine is in order. Exercise will definitely boost energy—give these early-bird exercises a try.
___39___
Sleepiness doesn’t disappear just from drinking a cup of coffee. Having enough time for some green eggs and ham (or maybe just a yogurt parfait) will also provide energy, not to mention it’ll boost that brainpower, too. Have a reward waiting in the a. m. to motivate climbing out of the covers. Dive into some freshly based fruit and nut bars, or slide into a warm bath instead of taking a quick shower.
___40___ Researchers have found that creativity may grow stronger when we feel groggy (昏昏沉沉), so don’t let a little sleepiness interrupt seizing the day!
A. Eat breakfast or treat yourself.
B. Start slowly and set some happy sounds.
C A simple solution is to keep the curtain open during the night.
D. Sometimes we need to bite the bullet and “just do it.”
E. Being a morning person may actually be good for our health, too.
F. And maybe another a few minutes later in case you sleep through.
G. Try to set the alarm clock for the same time every morning—including weekends.
【答案】36. G 37. F 38. C 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了使早起变得容易的小妙招。
【36题详解】
根据本段标题“Stay consistent.( 保持连贯性。)”以及后文的“A constant wakeup call may make it progressively easier to jump out of bed. (持续性的被叫醒会让你更容易从床上跳起来。)”可知，此处强调的是持续性的叫醒有助于人起床。G选项“Try to set the alarm clock for the same time every morning—including weekends.(试着每天早上把闹钟设置在同一时间——包括周末。)”中的“set the alarm clock for the same time every morning”与后文的constant wakeup call呼应，指出了具体的持续性叫醒的方式即设置闹钟，符合文意。故选G。
【37题详解】
根据本段段旨“Skip the snooze (避免小睡)”以及本段中“Set one alarm for when it’s time to rise. (设定一个起床时间的闹钟。)”可知，此处强调为避免睡过去，可以设置一次或者多次的闹钟，这样帮助起床。F选项“And maybe another a few minutes later in case you sleep through.(也许几分钟后再来一次以防你睡过头。)”指出，可以通过在设置闹钟让自己起床，防止睡过头，承接前文。故选F。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Research shows a little light may be all we need to reset the body clock.(研究表明，一点点光线可能就是我们重置生物钟所需要的一切。)”可知，此处强调光对人体睡眠的影响。故设空处应从“光”这个角度入手给出建议。C选项“A simple solution is to keep the curtain open during the night.( 一个简单的解决办法就是晚上把窗帘打开。)”指出，晚上把窗帘打开可以帮助早晨不愿起床的人起床，承接前文。故选C。
【39题详解】
本空置于段首，即为本段标题。根据后文的“Having enough time for some green eggs and ham (or maybe just a yogurt parfait) will also provide energy, not to mention it’ll boost that brainpower, too. (有足够的时间吃一些新鲜的鸡蛋和火腿(或者只是一个酸奶冻)也会提供能量，更不用说它也会提高脑力。)”可知，本段强调的是吃早餐能够为自己提供能量，消除困意。A选项“Eat breakfast or treat yourself.( 吃早餐或者犒劳自己。)”引起下文。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据后文“Researchers have found that creativity may grow stronger when we feel groggy,(研究人员发现，当我们感到昏昏沉沉时，创造力会变得更强)”可知，当人们早晨昏昏沉沉的时候，不一定非要去克服，而是可以咬紧牙关，随他去吧，这样有利于提高创造力。D选项“Sometimes we need to bite the bullet and “just do it.”(有时我们需要咬紧牙关，“就这么做”。)”符合语境。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对联的起源、特点及内容。
【56题详解】
考查名词作宾语。句意：作为中国文学的一种形式，对联是指遵循一定规则的两行诗，通常写在红纸上供欣赏，内容和风格各不相同。设空处位于介词for后面充当宾语，所以要用名词形式。故填appreciation。
【57题详解】
考查现在分词作定语。句意：作为中国文学的一种形式，对联是指遵循一定规则的两行诗，通常写在红纸上供欣赏，内容和风格各不相同。根据设空前的and可知，设空处与前面的现在分词obeying并列，在句中充当定语。故填varying。
【58题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：一般来说，有些表达了人们对祖国的热爱，有些描述了大自然的美丽，还有一些表达了对来年的美好祝愿。根据句意可知，设空后的句子与前面的句子构成并列关系，所以要用并列连词and。故填and。
【59题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：对联起源于五代，在明清时期变得普遍。分析句子成分可知，句子缺少谓语动词，所以设空处充当谓语；根据时间状语in the Ming and Qing Dynasties可知，句子要用一般过去时。故填became。
【60题详解】
考查不定式作主语。句意：在春节期间，人们有挂桃木符咒驱邪的习俗。观察句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配it+be+n+for sb.to do sth.，意为“做某事对某人而言是……”，其中it是形式主语，to do 是真正的主语。故填to hang。
【61题详解】
考查介词短语。句意：如今，对联的用法与此类似。根据句意可知，此处考查固定搭配in a …way，意为“用……方法”。故填in。
【62题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：据说，最早的对联是由后舒国的国王徐氏所写，在北宋时期非常流行。根据设空前的the及设空后的名词couplets可知，此处要用形容词的最高级。故填earliest。
【63题详解】
考查副词作状语。句意：据说，最早的对联是由后舒国的国王徐氏所写，在北宋时期非常流行。设空处位于形容词popular前面起修饰作用，所以要用副词形式。故填extremely。
【64题详解】
考查现在完成时的被动语态。句意：自明代以来，写对联就被视为文人雅士有文化生活的标志。分析句子成分可知，句子缺少谓语动词，所以设空处充当谓语；根据句子中的since可知，句子要用现在完成时；句子主语to write couplets与谓语动词regard之间是被动关系，所以要用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been regarded。
【65题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：总的来说，每行的字符数可以从4个到7个不等，每行长度相同。此处特指每一行的字符数量，所以要用定冠词the，the number of意为“……的数量”。故填the。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a young boy, I was carefree. Every vacation I looked forward to two things—seeing my grandpa and hearing his wonderful stories. My grandpa was a very good storyteller. He had worked various odd jobs when he was young and wove his adventures and misadventures into fantastic tales. These wonderful tales colored my childhood.
As I grew up, I had to admit that Grandpa’s stories went on a little long, even a little boring and gradually lost their magic. However, not wanting to upset him, my brother and I would sometimes take turns sitting in the living room, listening to grandpa tell his stories.
When my grandpa was approaching 91 he suffered from serious memory-loss. It was kind of what doctors called dementia (痴呆), probably the earliest stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Following the doctor’s directions, we moved him into a Sunrise Assisted Living Community, where he could get a better care. After that, grandpa hardly came to our house.
One weekend before my grandpa’s birthday, I came to visit him. Seeing grandpa sitting in his armchair, dull-looking, I was consumed with mixed feelings. I wheeled grandpa to the sunshine in the courtyard, talking to him. He couldn’t express himself clearly and spoke in short bursts, but I listened to him patiently and carefully just as I used to be a little boy.
It was then that I noticed a shadow box with some old and yellowish photos in it. I picked one up, in which my brother, several boys in our neighborhood, and I were playing basketball with grandpa cheering us on twenty years before. My mind flashed back to those beautiful memories. Back then, Grandpa was in good physical condition and we were all wearing basketball jerseys, playing and laughing with abandon. I presented the photo to my grandpa, pointing at each member and reminding him of their names. Incredibly, grandpa could speak out the name of every player. I even caught a soft light in grandpa’s eyes and a smile on his lips.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A bright idea for grandpa’s birthday came to my mind.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing “the same players” playing there, grandpa seemed to have thought of something.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 A bright idea for grandpa’s birthday came to my mind. “Why not give grandpa a surprise ” I said to myself. I immediately got down to carrying out my plan. Luckily, I contacted all the players in the photo. To my great delight, they were greatly touched by the plan and all agreed to join in. To make the scene real, I even managed to find all the basketball jerseys, equipment and arrange for a similar-looking basketball court. The big day finally came. After wheeling my grandpa to the court, we began the special game. While playing, I kept an eye on grandpa, waiting for something deep down.
Seeing “the same players” playing there, grandpa seemed to have thought of something. Glancing at grandpa again, I found him cheering us on just like 20 years before. Sitting in the warm sunlight, he cheered and clapped, with a bigger smile. For a while, my mind seemed to flash back to those beautiful days. Indeed, my plan somewhat worked. I was overjoyed that I could do something to delight Grandpa, an important person in my 1ife. I was not sure whether this birthday would stick in his mind, but one thing was certain: it’d definitely stick in mine.

Five years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.
On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.
But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.
Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes. “Winners never quit (放弃) and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself.” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.

ChatGPT, a new chatbot model developed by US-based AI research laboratory OpenAI, has quickly become a hit globally due to its advanced conversational capabilities,
It can write emails, computer codes, even academic papers and poems, and has passed a number of tests within seconds. Academicians worldwide are discussing whether AI should be used in education. Some universities have banned it. The New York City’s Department of Education, for example, banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks, with some people warning that it could encourage more students to cheat, especially in exams.
Many more welcome this app, claiming that, like most technological advances and groundbreaking innovations in history, ChatGPT is a powerful tool for the development of higher education.
Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable. Higher education institutions should make preparations for including AI in their syllabus (教学大纲). They can start by offering related courses, because by understanding how it works, they can make better use of it. Besides, students with good knowledge of AI are more competitive when it comes to getting a good job, as an increasing number of jobs are being done by computer programmes-some in cooperation with humans, AI-powered education technologies can be adopted to make the learning experience more suitable for each student based on his or her strengths and weaknesses. As for professors, AI can free them from doing some dull tasks so they can concentrate on teaching and interacting with students.
Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting and enjoyable, humans need to work very hard to win the race with technology.
28. Why do some higher education institutions forbid ChatGPT
A. ChatGPT can write emails and computer codes quickly.
B. Some professors might not perform their duties properly.
C. Students would have conversations with each other via it.
D. Students might seek help from it in completing the exams.
29. What is the author’s attitude towards AI applications in education
A. Fearful. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
30. How can AI benefit students of higher education
A. It offers students an increasing number of jobs.
B. It personalizes students’ learning experience.
C. It equips students with competitive skills to cooperate with humans.
D. It handles uninteresting tasks so students can better focus on learning.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. We should guard against AI apps.
B. AI will be more widely used in education.
C. The future of education relies on AI apps.
D. Humans will be left behind by technology.

If you’re a parent, you’re well aware of just how many challenges virtual schooling presents. It’s incredibly stressful to get your kids to pay attention in their “classrooms”. Well, now there’s another thing you need to worry about: hackers. As more school districts rely on remote learning, they’re increasingly becoming targets for cybercriminals.
Believe it or not, your email address is actually a hacker’s primary method of attaining your families’ personal information. That’s why you need to be on the lookout for phishing emails. These emails appear to be from a legal company you’re familiar with—like your bank, credit card company, an online store, or, yes, a school—but are actually from a hacker.
However, there are a few tricks to decode if an email is fake or not. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), these emails often “tell a story to trick you into clicking on a link or opening an attachment.” If you receive an email asking you to update your account, change your password, or make a payment, do a little digging first and contact the company directly to ensure that it is indeed legal.
There are indeed some alarming things a hacker can do when they steal your children’s information. According to FTC, “a child’s Social Security number can be used by identity thieves to apply for government benefits, open bank and credit card accounts or apply for a loan, which may go unnoticed for years—usually until they’re adults and attempt to open a credit card.” To make matters worse, a criminal doesn’t even need the child’s complete information to cook up a new identity. “Known as ‘synthetic identity theft’, the thief grabs a Social Security number and combines it with a fake name, address, phone number, and more,” explains the Identity Theft Resource Center, “That makes it a little harder for victims and law enforcement to notice the problem in the first place or take action after the fact.”
32. Why do we need to watch out for phishing emails
A. They make our emails too crowded to operate.
B. They are from a legal organization that is familiar to you.
C. It is impossible to tell whether an email is authentic or not.
D. It may be quite easy for hackers to steal personal information.
33. Which method is effective to distinguish a phishing email from a legal one
A. To put it into the trash with little digging.
B. To click on the link and open the attached files.
C. To update your account and change the password.
D. To check its validity with the sender of the email.
34. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The definition of “synthetic identify theft”.
B. The approaches to protecting children’s information.
C. The consequences of children’s information being stolen.
D. The suggestions on preventing children from internet addiction.
35. What can be the best title of the passage
A. Email hack: a disastrous threat
B. Email hack: an unavoidable issue
C. School hack: an unnoticeable but terrible threat
D. School hack: an invisible hand affecting children’s study

At 6 a.m., most of us are lucky if we have the energy to reach for a cup of coffee. It turns out the early bird may get more than the worm. There are ways to wake up with the sun, and we’ve got some tips on making it easier.
Get enough sleep.
It may seem obvious, but getting those recommended seven to nine hours will make getting up earlier easier. Pro tip Keep the laptop and other work out of the bed to sleep soundly.
Stay consistent.
___36___ A constant wakeup call may make it progressively easier to jump out of bed. When picking a new wakeup time, you should gradually work towards it. Remember to skip the beeps and blares and set an alarm tone to something peaceful or fun.
Skip the snooze (小睡).
Disrupting sleep an hour or so before actually getting out of bed may disturb our REM (rapid eye movement) cycle, which helps stimulate brain regions linked to cognition (认知). Don’t want to mess with that (or bug a roommate with multiple alarms!). Set one alarm for when it’s time to rise. ___37___
Let in the light or hit the gym.
Research shows a little light may be all we need to reset the body clock. ___38___ Or greet the day and brush your teeth outside! Those tired eyes may go away once a morning workout routine is in order. Exercise will definitely boost energy—give these early-bird exercises a try.
___39___
Sleepiness doesn’t disappear just from drinking a cup of coffee. Having enough time for some green eggs and ham (or maybe just a yogurt parfait) will also provide energy, not to mention it’ll boost that brainpower, too. Have a reward waiting in the a. m. to motivate climbing out of the covers. Dive into some freshly based fruit and nut bars, or slide into a warm bath instead of taking a quick shower.
___40___ Researchers have found that creativity may grow stronger when we feel groggy (昏昏沉沉), so don’t let a little sleepiness interrupt seizing the day!
A. Eat breakfast or treat yourself.
B. Start slowly and set some happy sounds.
C. A simple solution is to keep the curtain open during the night.
D. Sometimes we need to bite the bullet and “just do it.”
E. Being a morning person may actually be good for our health, too.
F. And maybe another a few minutes later in case you sleep through.
G. Try to set the alarm clock for the same time every morning—including weekends.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a young boy, I was carefree. Every vacation I looked forward to two things—seeing my grandpa and hearing his wonderful stories. My grandpa was a very good storyteller. He had worked various odd jobs when he was young and wove his adventures and misadventures into fantastic tales. These wonderful tales colored my childhood.
As I grew up, I had to admit that Grandpa’s stories went on a little long, even a little boring and gradually lost their magic. However, not wanting to upset him, my brother and I would sometimes take turns sitting in the living room, listening to grandpa tell his stories.
When my grandpa was approaching 91, he suffered from serious memory-loss. It was kind of what doctors called dementia (痴呆), probably the earliest stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Following the doctor’s directions, we moved him into a Sunrise Assisted Living Community, where he could get a better care. After that, grandpa hardly came to our house.
One weekend before my grandpa’s birthday, I came to visit him. Seeing grandpa sitting in his armchair, dull-looking, I was consumed with mixed feelings. I wheeled grandpa to the sunshine in the courtyard, talking to him. He couldn’t express himself clearly and spoke in short bursts, but I listened to him patiently and carefully just as I used to be a little boy.
It was then that I noticed a shadow box with some old and yellowish photos in it. I picked one up, in which my brother, several boys in our neighborhood, and I were playing basketball with grandpa cheering us on twenty years before. My mind flashed back to those beautiful memories. Back then, Grandpa was in good physical condition and we were all wearing basketball jerseys, playing and laughing with abandon. I presented the photo to my grandpa, pointing at each member and reminding him of their names. Incredibly, grandpa could speak out the name of every player. I even caught a soft light in grandpa’s eyes and a smile on his lips.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A bright idea for grandpa’s birthday came to my mind.

Seeing “the same players” playing there, grandpa seemed to have thought of something.
