Passage 1
（2024·黑龙江哈尔滨·二模）Spring is here, and it is time to enjoy West Lake Longjing tea. Usually, we think of workers picking tea leaves by hand. But now some Longjing tea is being picked by metal workers—tea-picking robots!
In a Hangzhou tea garden, a smart tea-picking robot developed by Zhejiang Soi-Tech University sell to work for the first time. “We took thousands of pictures of new tea buds (芽) and fed them to the robot for it to learn. The robot uses an AI model to recognize the buds it needs to pick,” said Professor Chen Jianneng, Party branch secretary (党支部书记) of the research team. This lets the robot find about 90 percent of the right tea buds.
The robot’s arm pulls and then sucks (吸) up the tea buds. These buds are quickly moved ínto a special box. After the robot gathers all the buds from the area it’s working at, it moves the buds from the box to a main box that holds everything it collects.
The robot was made because there are not enough people to pick tea. In Zhejiang, about 400,000 more pickers are needed now. “Picking is the biggest challenge for the development of the tea industry,” said Professor Wu Chuanyu , who leads the research team. “Tea-picking robots are a trend (趋势) of the future,” said Wu. “In about five years, the robots will do the job of picking West Lake Longjing tea instead of people,” Wu added.

Passage 3
（2024·广西桂林·一模）Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen.
Why do we develop self-driving care
Self-driving cars give us many benefits (好处). They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams and better parking of car for disabled or blind people. Self-driving cars also help them get around more easily. Each year, over 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more are injured. Self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90% and save governments a lot of money. The main causes of car accidents are human mistakes. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do.
But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react as fast as a human driver could. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would have trouble seeing the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system could also get hacked by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction.
It’s clear that there’s much work to do to make self-driving cars common and safe on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen.
10．What’s a benefit of self-driving cars
A．They don’t need parking lose
B．They allow disabled people to travel more freely.
C．They react faster than humans in bad weather.
11．Why can self-driving cars help reduce road accidents
A．Because they can correct human mistakes while driving.
B．Because their computers can predict all road accidents.
C．Because their computers don’t “lose attention” like humans do.
12．What does the underlined phrase “get hacked” mean in Chinese
A．被窃取信息 B．被黑客侵入 C．被意外保护
13．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The disadvantages of self-driving cars.
B．The benefits of having a human driver.
C．How the computers in self-driving cars work.
14．What do we know from the last paragraph
A．Many countries are working together to develop self-driving cars.
B．Self-driving cars are already commonly seen in China.
C．China is trying to make self-driving cars safer and more common.
Passage 4
（2024·安徽阜阳·二模）What will the world of tomorrow look like Many people believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on the Earth today. New technology may solve old problems, but it may also create new ones, as these three examples.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying car. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if the cars become popular, there will be problems with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit. This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy objects and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost.
Looking ahead, it is easy to imagine a future. We can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s life easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.
15．What may new technology create while solving old problems
A．New traffic. B．New suits. C．New problems. D．New shoes.
16．What will happen if most of us have our own personal flying cars
A．We will be able to fly to the moon. B．We will have traffic lights and busy roads.
C．We could drive at 480 km per hour on the roads. D．We will have problems with traffic control.
17．What’s the best title for the passage

Passage 5
（2024·湖北武汉·二模）
The Rise of Digital HumansAs we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities (性格). Digital humans today appear in many ways. They can be idols (偶像), vloggers (视频博主),
reporters, and more. For example, China Daily has its own digital reporter, Yuanxi. She can speak English and covers the wonderful world of Chinese culture. She can process (处理) data fast. This can help the newsroom work faster. In February 2022, Chinese tech company Baidu showed its first digital idol Xi Jiajia. She can change her makeup and how she dresses, and even do livestreams! During China Fashion Week in September 2022, Xi Jiajia became famous in an online virtual fashion show (虚拟时装秀) . _________________ The first copyright case (版权案件) about AI-created images in China had its first result from the Beijing Internet Court (北京互联网法院). A man surnamed Li is a Chinese social media Xiaohongshu account (账户) owner. He used an AI image generator in February to make a picture. And then, he posted the picture on Xiaohongshu. However, a lady surnamed Liu used the picture in March and cut off the Xiaohongshu watermark (水印) in her post in Baijiahao, a blog-style platform under Baidu. The court found that this was an act of infringement (侵权) and said the lady must make a public apology and pay 500 yuan to Li. The court decided that the AI-generated picture had “originality (独创性)” and that such pictures should be known as works and protected by copyright law (法律). The court said that Li made the setting of the AI model based on his needs. The image was produced based on his ideas and showed his own expression. So, Li is the creator of the image and owns its copyright. Exploring AI at iFLYTEK
In November, our school went to iFLYTEK for a study tour to get a deeper understanding of artificial intelligence (AI). The teacher first introduced some common knowledge and real-world uses of AI. For example, AlphaGo beat the Go world champion while ChatGPT passed the Chinese Medical Practitioner License Examination (中医师执业资格考试) with high scores. After visiting, we came to believe that AI may be able to do things that humans can not. Then we experienced iFLYTEK’s Starfire model. To test its functionality (功能), we suggested a Chinese writing topic about happiness that we had been thinking about for a long time. At first, Starfire gave us a common response so we weren’t happy with it. One student said, “This article has no standout (出色的) features. I think it should include some character descriptions .” After many suggestions and revisions (修改), the AI’s final essay won our applause (掌声) .
18．In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news

Passage 6
（2024·安徽芜湖·二模）When does a clear blue sky not look blue If someone viewed through the eyes of birds, he may see a blue and purple world. Similarly, a rainbow, a leaf, and many other things look different to a bee, because the insect has the ability to. see kinds of light that humans don’t have. Now thanks to a new camera system, people can experience these special color worlds.
Humans have three types of cells (细胞) in their eyes. Their job is to catch the light and send it to the brain to form pictures. Humans are usually able to catch green, red, and blue light, which is known as “visible (可视的) light.” The light combines (组合) into millions of different colors.
To humans, the sky seems blue because we can’t see all the UV light (紫外线) in it. But some animals can see UV light, including many birds, bees and some kinds of fishes. They would look up and see a purple sky. A butterfly that appears yellow to us would be purple and pink to a bird.
To find what other animals can see, a research team developed a device (设备). Inside the device are a standard camera and a special camera that can catch UV light. Then a software can produce videos that show what animals see through them. The researchers hope the tool will provide a new perspective (视角) on the lives. The videos could be helpful for inventions as well. For example, they may be able to help researchers develop windows that are safe for birds.
23．How many types of cells do humans have in their eyes
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
24．Why does the sky seem blue to humans
A．Because they can’t recognize the color of purple. B．Because they don’t have pink cameras.
C．Because they have poor eyesight. D．Because they can’t see all the UV light.
25．What’s the best title (标题) for the text
A．Listen through animals’ ears B．See through animals’ eyes
C．Develop safe windows for birds D．Try to find a purple sky
Passage 7
（2024·海南省直辖县级单位·三模）Whether you like it or not, artificial intelligence (AI) is here to stay. It has already been used in many different fields. And now one of them is to help find the missing children.
In Hubei Province, a group of 30 students at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) are working on a special project. They have developed an AI system that restores (修复) old photos. The clearer photos allow them to better look for missing people.
The project was set up by Sheng Jianzhong in 2020. At the time, he was a student at HUST School. One day, he came across a missing child notice. The photos on the notice were difficult to make out. “These photos may be of no practical use even if the child is around,” he said. As a result, Sheng decided to use his skills to help the missing children. And to his surprise, many of his schoolmates volunteered to join him.
Over the past three years, the team tried to develop an AI system for restoring the photos. The team has restored more than 1,000 photos. With the help of AI system, 11 missing children were successfully found. One success story is that of Sun Haiyang. Thanks to the AI program, in December 2021, the father, Sun Haiyang found his son after 14 years of search.
In the future, Sheng plans to build a more excellent team to run the project. The goal is not just to further improve the technology. More importantly, he hopes to see more young people work for good causes.
26．According to the passage, what did Sheng Jianzhong and his schoolmates do
A．They restored old photos by an AI system.

Passage 8
（2024·江苏无锡·一模）The earth is now covered by space junk after nearly 70 years of space exploration. An accident in 2023 made the clean-up more difficult to start.
According to the European Space Agency (ESA), scientists plan on testing their “junk truck”, ClearSpace-1, in 2025. It’s a spacecraft with four arms that can catch debris (碎片) and bring it back to the earth. One of its tasks is to bring back VESPA, a 113-kilogram, two-metre-wide rocket part.
But it was hit by another piece of space junk in August 2023, creating new pieces. The ESA is now changing its clean-up plan. “We must reduce the creation of new space debris and begin to actively reduce the influence on other objects,” said the agency.
Most satellites today are sent into the earth’s low orbit (轨道), which reach up to around 2,000 kilometres above the earth. There, spacecraft are most likely to hit each other. There may be as many as 170,000,000 pieces of space junk in orbit, according to the ESA．Big or small, any of the pieces can cause harm to a spacecraft. For example, if an object as large as 10 centimeters hit s a satellite, the satellite will break apart.
As for the clean-up, scientists have some other ideas. One popular plan is to send a spacecraft carrying harpoons and magnets (磁铁). The craft would shoot the harpoon to stick into the debris before “throwing” it back to the earth. Magnets could move the debris, changing its direction. The debris would burn after entering the earth’s atmosphere so there wouldn’t be much
left when it reaches the earth. Scientists are also considering shooting lasers from the spacecraft to heat up the debris surface, creating a small push that would change the debris’ orbit. This change would allow the debris to be caught by the earth’s gravity.
Space junk can be very dangerous, and space agencies around the world are testing and planning the clean-up. But why haven’t they done anything yet One reason is the high cost. But they will still keep on testing the cheap and fine clean-up.
31．What is the main purpose of ClearSpace-1
A．To test the junk truck in orbit. B．To bring VESPA back to the earth.
C．To avoid the accidents in space. D．To clean up the debris from the earth’s orbit.
32．Why is the ESA changing its cleaning plan now
A．Because it was hit by a satellite. B．Because it discovered more debris in orbit.
C．Because it will create new space junk. D．Because more satellites are sent into the earth.
33．What can we infer from the passage
A．The lasers from the spacecraft are to burn the debris.
B．Space debris is dangerous and harmful to astronauts.
C．Scientists have been doing research to clean up the space debris.
D．The high cost of space cleaning will stop scientists from testing.
34．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Looking for Ways to Clean up Space B．Escaping from Crowded Space
C．Dangerous Space Debris D．Excellent Space Exploration
Passage 9
（2024·江苏无锡·一模）
About 2000 years ago, Volcano Vesuvius erupted (火山喷发), destroying the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Now scientists are working to decode (破译) one of the great mysteries of that time—the scrolls of Herculaneum (赫库兰尼姆卷轴).
In 1752, workers digging in Herculaneum discovered over 600 scrolls. Most of them were made from papyrus—a paper-like material. The heat from the volcano had burned the scrolls so much that they looked like chunks of charcoal (木碳块). The scrolls were so fragile that just touching them could make them fall apart. So scientists have been looking for ways to read the scrolls without opening them.
Brent Seales, a computer scientist at the University of Kentucky has been working on this for over 20 years. He developed a method of using a CT scanner to take 3D X-ray images of a papyrus scroll. In 2016, his team used this method to read a burned scroll found near the Dead Sea. But the scrolls from Herculaneum are much harder. This method didn’t work well. Still, Dr. Seales hoped to decode them and trained an AI program. Though he was making progress, it was slow going. Then he met with two businessmen. They had the idea of holding a competition for decoding the scrolls.
The competition offered large prizes. About 1,500 people have taken part in it. These people are sharing information as they make progress, so everyone can build on those ideas.
In August, 2023, Casey Handmer found a pattern that showed where the ink had been on the scrolls. Following his lead, Luke Farritor, a 21-year-old student, created an AI program that found a whole word: “πopφúραc” which means “purple”. This was the first word ever read from these ancient scrolls.
Soon afterward, Youssef Nader used a different method to find the same word. For their efforts, Mr. Handmer and Mr. Nader each won $10,000. Mr. Farritor won $40,000.
Now people are working to earn the competition’s $700,000 top prize, which is for decoding four longer sections of the scroll.
“With all the recent progress, it’s likely that someone will win this prize, too. For me, reading words from within the Herculaneum scrolls is like stepping onto the moon,” Dr. Seales says. “Now it is time to explore.”
35．What does the underlined word “fragile” mean in paragraph 2
A．Easy to break. B．Easy to open.
C．Hard to break. D．Hard to open.
36．What can we learn about the scrolls of Herculaneum
A．They are difficult to read. B．They were once burned by fire.
C．They were made from papyrus. D．They were discovered near the Dead Sea.
37．What does Dr. Seales think of the future of decoding the scrolls of Herculaneum
A．Difficult and impossible. B．Challenging and uncertain.
C．Difficult but meaningful. D．Challenging but hopeful.
38．The main purpose of this passage is to ________.
A．show the discovery of the scrolls of Herculaneum
B．encourage readers to decode the scrolls of Herculaneum
C．introduce people’s efforts to decode the scrolls of Herculaneum
D．tell readers the methods of decoding the scrolls of Herculaneum
Passage 10
（2024·江苏淮安·一模）
Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and health care, chances and challenges come together.
Let’s start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine (远程医疗) can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis and instructions without leaving home.
There are many online patient websites, which have different kinds of interactions (互动) about our health needs. Setting a date with doctors and reading results have been achieved by technology already.
A whole new age of medical care seems possible to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care
First, sharing the details of one’s health requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where some of life’s best and worst moments have something to do with doctors. The human touch is also very important for patients and is impossible to be there over the smartphone.
Second, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a result with no explanation on the website, there’s room for all kinds of terrible stories to form in their minds.
So how does medicine get along well with the new technology age Some talented companies are working on it. There is medical equipment that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine. It seems possible that some companies will find a way to explain test results.
But what it will not achieve is the touch and the warmth of human interaction. Patients often need someone to listen to and care about their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will probably have unexpected effects.
39．According to the passage, how does technology help health care
A．It encourages patients to put their needs online.
B．It offers patients another way to get a diagnosis.
C．It allows more interaction between doctors and patients.
D．It provides patients a chance to explain test results.
40．What do you know about techno-health care from the passage
A．Patient websites require trust from doctors.
B．Talented companies can give medical advice.
C．Online results may cause worry for patients.
D．Medical equipment can send signs to patients.
41．The writer probably agrees that ________.
A．technology can deal with some unexpected effects
B．usual health care will be a challenge to telemedicine
C．techno-health care should consider about humans’ basic needs
D．it is difficult for patients to get used to the new technology age
Passage 11
（2024·江苏连云港·一模）On November 14, 2023, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) (国际民用航空组织) officially recognized China’s Bei Dou Satellite Navigation (卫星导航) System (BDS) as the world level. This makes it one of four global satellite navigation systems, along with the United States' GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.
China started to develop the BDS in 1994. The system came into use in 2000. After 12
years of work, it began serving the Asia-Pacific region. In 2020, with the global use of BDS-3, China has improved the system to provide users with more correct positioning services, making it a valuable tool for more industries, including transportation, agriculture, and surveying.
Now, with 59 satellites in its network, the BDS has served more than 1.5 billion users across the world. Most mobile apps providing maps, navigation and shopping services in China already support the BDS. China’s satellite navigation industry is growing fast. Its value reached more than 500 billion yuan in 2022. That number is expected to double by 2025. In the first half year of 2023, there were about 13.4 million new BDS devices. Nearly 60% were used in transport systems. The rest were used in communication and agriculture. The former made up about 28%and the latter 12%.
As BDS gets more popular, it is expected to play an increasingly important role in global navigation and positioning services.
42．What does the underlined word “devices” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．services B．transportation C．communication D．facilities
43．What do we know from Paragraph 3
A．It is very expensive to put BDS into use.
B．All of the mobile apps in China support the BDS.
C．Bei Dou Satellite Navigation System is developing rapidly.
D．China’s satellite navigation industry is facing great challenges.
44．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．BDS has been widely used in many fields.
B．BDS has served more users than Russia’s GLONASS.
C．BDS began to provide positioning services for people in 1994.
D．BDS is the most important satellite navigation system in the world.
45．What’s the best title for this passage
A．The role of China’s Bei Dou Satellite Navigation System
B．The importance of China’s Bei Dou Satellite Navigation System
C．The popularity of China’s Bei Dou Satellite Navigation System
D．The introduction to China’s Bei Dou Satellite Navigation System
Passage 12
（2024·山东烟台·一模）China has completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (卫星导航系统), or BDS, becoming another one in the world with a global navigation network (全球导航网络), the other three being GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.
As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. From what we have known so far, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special
The other three systems have 24 satellites in MEO. As the 24 satellites, China’s new global navigation satellite system BeiDou-3 also has three satellites in GEO and three in IGSO. What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed area of activity. This can improve BDS’accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia Pacific to 5 meters, compared with a10-meter accuracy in other areas.
BDS has another advantage—the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas not covered by communication signals, BDS can make the short message service available in uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas, With this service, users who are in danger can tell the rescue team (救援队) their location and condition.
As the most populous country in the world, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system to meet the needs of the country’s development.
In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry has kept a 20% yearly growth since 2012. And BDS contributes (贡献) about 80% of it. Also, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.
MEO: 中轨道 GEO: 地球静止同步轨道 IGSO: 倾斜地球同步轨道
46．BDS is the ________ global navigation network in the world.
A．third B．fourth C．fifth D．sixth
47．How many satellites does BeiDou-3 have in total
A．24. B．27. C．30. D．36.
48．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．It describes a place that is very high. B．It describes a place impossible to get to.
C．It describes a place with lots of animals. D．It describes a place with no people living in it.
49．Which of the following is TRUE about China’s BDS
A．It can only be used in China.
B．It has encouraged China’s social development.
C．It has caused a number of people to lose their jobs.
D．It doesn’t work in areas where there is no communication signal.

Passage 16
（2024·广东珠海·一模）Did you know that when you surf the web, websites in some countries put secret software (软件) on your computer The software collects information about
you and sends it to Internet companies. The Internet companies sell it to other businesses. Your personal information can also be assembled from social media. There are many ways your information can be used.
First, companies collect your information and record all your online habits. They find out where you live and what you do online. With the information, they can guess other things about you. For example, they can guess how old you are and what your interests are.
Your personal information could also be sold. When someone sells your information, a lot of different companies will know your online habits.
Your personal information can also be collected through social media. Even if you don’t use social media, a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. If someone knows too much about you, he might steal your personal information. Then he can buy things online and post messages while pretending (假装) to be you.
▲ The law is finally changed when it comes to technology. In the European Union, for example, according to a rule, Internet users can now ask companies to show them what information they have about them and even make them delete it.

Passage 17
（2024·四川泸州·一模）Personal information is like the keys to your house. Giving these keys to the wrong people can be like allowing a stranger into your house without you even knowing. If someone has personal information about you, they could pretend (假装) to be you, find out where you live, or even use your personal information to buy things.
Your personal information may include your:
·full name, address, phone number
·which school you go to
·date of birth, email address
·usernames and passwords for online accounts or email accounts
·parent or career’s bank or credit card details
·photos that show where you live or your school uniform
Tips to keep personal information safe
·Avoid using your full name online—choose a screen name that does not include your real first or last name or use a nickname instead.
·Don’t lie about your age-you have to be at least 13 years old to use many social media apps. This is because some of the content may not be safe for kids.
·Only friend or follow people you know—if you receive a friend request from someone you don’t know—your email address might have your name and you don’t want to get unwanted texts, calls or emails.
·Don’t fill in all the fields on forms—if you sign up for something online, like a competition or quiz, only fill out the fields that are marked with an asterisk (this symbol*), which means that it is a required field.

Passage 18
（2024·江苏常州·一模）You’ll need to create a password (密码) to do just about everything on the Web, such as checking your email, logging in WeChat and so on. And while it’s simpler to use a short, easy-to-remember password, this can also cause serious risks (风险) to your online safety. To protect yourself and your information, you’ll want to use passwords that are long, and difficult for someone else to guess, while still keeping them easy for you to remember.
A strong password is one that’s easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. Let’s take a look at some of the most important things to think when setting (设置) a password. First, never use personal information such as your name, user’s name, or email address. This type of information is often publicly available (可获得的), use a longer password. Your passwords should be at least six characters (符号) long or even longer. Then don’t use the same password for each account (账户). If someone discovers your password for one account, all of your other accounts will be in danger.
You can try to use numbers, symbols, and both capital (大写) and small letters (字母). You have to avoid using words that can be found in the dictionary. Like “swimming”, it would be a weak password. So random (随机的) passwords are the strongest.
Instead of writing your passwords on paper like books or notebooks where someone might find them, you can use a password manager (a kind of App) to keep them safely online. Password managers can remember and enter your password on different websites. That means you won’t have to remember longer passwords. So it is a good and safe way to keep your passwords.
74．The underlined word “this” refers to ________.
A．checking your email
B．banking online
C．logging in WeChat
D．using a short and easy password
75．According to the passage, “ _________ ” is the strongest password.
A．20080618 B．Swimming C．Sywi2008! D．Betty!
76．The last paragraph is mainly about ________.
A．when to keep your passwords
B．how to set safe passwords
C．when to remember passwords
D．how to keep passwords safely
77．The purpose of this passage is mainly to ________.
A．encourage people to check emails
B．help people set and keep safe passwords
C．stop people from using their personal information
D．tell people the differences between easy and strong passwords
Passage 19
（2024·山东枣庄·一模）Have you ever shown your photos on your favorite social media (媒体) Or have you expressed your feelings and emotions on your online page If yes, do you know what you have posted on the social medias can cause problems you could not expect
Cathy, who is going to be fifteen, posted online an invitation to her birthday party with her address in it. And guess what! 500 people came to the party, and some even broke the windows
and plants, making a total mess of the house. The girl’s birthday party turned into a nightmare.
Many teenagers think they know everything about social media, and that such a thing could never happen to them. Studies show that each year more than three million young people in the world get into trouble because of their online activities.
So do remember these if you really want to share something online.
Share with care! Not everyone will like what you write online. Think before you post anything. You never know who sees your texts, pictures or videos. Before clicking “post”, you should ask yourself, “How will I feel if my family or teachers see this ” and “How might this post be bad for me in five or ten years from now ”
Be polite when you write! Imagine someone is unfriendly in real life. The same is true of online communication. No one likes it when you “shout” in your messages. If you feel angry while you’re writing a message, wait a bit. Read it again later and then send it.
Protect and respect! Never share your passwords with anyone. It’s not wise to post your home or email address online. Don’t say bad things about people. If you get messages like that or see them online, talk to your parents or your teachers.
I’d say none of these things promises 100% online safety, but each will help you to be safer.
78．The writer starts to introduce the topic by ________.
A．telling stories B．giving examples
C．asking questions D．sharing experiences
79．The writer uses the mark“!”in the underlined sentences of Paragraphs 5~7 to ________.
A．draw the readers’ attention B．give orders that readers should follow
C．express the strong feelings of worry D．give the decisions that have been made
80．What does the writer mean by saying the last sentence
A．You should spend much less time online.
B．It’s necessary to think before you act online.
C．You have to make a promise before you go online.
D．If you want to be safer online, do as the writer suggests.
Passage 20
（2023·浙江杭州·二模）You might have heard about identity theft (身份盗窃): it means a thief gets enough of someone’s information to commit fraud (诈骗). Why should people care
about it Because recovering a stolen identity can be a hard process. Imagine that someone opens a credit card in your name, gets a cell phone number in your name, or buys things using a credit card that has your name on it.
ID thieves can be creative about getting your information. There are some low-tech ways they get it: sometimes they steal rubbish, going through it to find personal information, or they steal mail.
There are high-tech ways, too: ID thieves might put software onto your computer secretly. The software, called badware, let a thief see everything on your computer, and record everything you type on your computer. Unluckily, even if you’re really careful with your personal information, thieves can still get your personal information. Sometimes, they get into computer systems at shops, schools, hospitals or businesses. They look for personal information to use or sell to other thieves.
It’s pretty easy for you and your family to stop a thief stealing your identity. You can start with the low-tech defenses (防御). Be careful with your mail and rubbish. And be sure to take care of your wallet, or your backpack. It’s especially important not to carry your Social Security card with you. Keep it in a safe place at home.
Practice some higher-tech defenses, too: protect your computer by turning on an up-to-date firewall (防火墙). Once you’re online, be careful with your personal information. When you get emails or pop-ups on your computer, don’t respond automatically (自动响应). Stop and think before you click—it could help keep your information private, and keep badware off your computer.
81．What can we infer from the second paragraph
A．It is easy for your mail to be stolen.
B．Even some useless things can make you face the danger of identity theft.
C．We cannot throw rubbish in order to protect our personal information.
D．We should put away our mail to avoid identity theft.
82．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the third paragraph
A．It’s impossible to find a way to stop identity theft.
B．People can protect their personal information as long as they are careful enough.
C．Thieves are very good at finding ways to collect people’s personal information.
D．It’s hard for a thief to collect your personal information.
83．Which best shows the writer’s idea about identity theft
A．Identity theft will finally be stopped as computer software becomes better.
B．Identity theft is a serious problem that can be reduced with a few simple habits.
C．Identity theft happens more commonly to adults because they are not good at using computers.
D．Identity theft is an easy problem that can be dealt within a second.
84．What’s the structure of the passage
