第一节：（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Social engineering refers to the practice of using non-technical methods to trick people into doing something that gives away sensitive information. Here, watch this case ...
THE ATTACK
1. The SETUP:
Marketing Director, Marcus, receives a call from a super friendly voice…
“Hi, Marcus, it’s Sandra from your bank. I’m sure you’ve heard about those recent Internet attacks. We’re making sure none of our customers were affected. I just need you to head to a website that will confirm the integrity of your account. Here’s the URL.”
2. The TRICK:
Marcus has heard about the attacks, so he goes to the site and puts in his info. Sandra didn’t ask him for his password, so he thinks he’s safe.
3. The BREACH:
Malware, or malicious software, infects the corporate network and begins to steal data: ·Customer data ·Intellectual property ·Financial records
40% of all breaches (破坏) involve the use of malware
THE DEFENSE
1. NOTIFICATION:
Security Analyst, Ray, gets a notification and report via email. Alert! Unusual activity on network after hours
2. PATTERN DETECTION: Ray uses additional security analytics and visualization to identify an attack pattern and search for similar activity on the network:
Incoming phone # and geographic location Domain where download occurred MD5 hash of the malware file
3. CORRECTIVE MEASURE: In seconds, he identifies the threat and takes action:
Takes infected hosts offline Blocks malicious domain Creates alerts Sets an alert to flag the MD5 hash even if the attackers’ phone or domain changes Informs Marcus
4. :
Natalie, Chief Information Officer, reviews the event and, pleased with Ray’s response, adds network behaviour analysis to their response procedure. She also launches an employee training program in the hope of reducing major security risks and increasing employees’ security awareness.
1. It can be learned from “THE ATTACK” that ________.
A. Sandra asks Marcus for his password B. Marcus steals the key corporate data
C. The attacker gains Marcus’s trust first D. Sandra is a senior director of the bank

B
I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda (日程), and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct (不同的) from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my academic fields for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
4. What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He conducted an experiment.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He escaped into a fantasy world.
5. What does the author mean by the underlined part in paragraph 2
A. Reading novels was a waste of time.
B. Reading a good book was time well spent.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
6. How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author
A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were strengthened.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He gained new insight into his academic fields.
7. What’s the best title of the text
A Reading: A Lifelong Hobby B. The Power of Research Papers
C. Novels: Love at Second Sight D. The Benefits of History Reading
C
Casting blame is natural: it is tempting to fault someone else for a mistake rather than taking responsibility yourself. But blame is also harmful. It makes it less likely that people will own up to mistakes, and thus less likely that organizations can learn from them. Research published in 2015 suggests that firms whose managers pointed to external factors to explain their failings underperformed companies that blamed themselves.
Blame culture can spread like a virus. Just as children fear mom and dad’s punishment if they admit to wrongdoing, in a blaming environment, employees are afraid of criticism and punishment if they acknowledge making a mistake at work. Blame culture asks, “Who dropped the ball ” instead of “Where did our systems and processes fail ” The focus is on the individuals, not the processes. It’s much easier to point fingers at a person or department instead of doing the harder, but the more beneficial, exercise of fixing the root cause, so the problem does not happen again.
The No Blame Culture was introduced to make sure errors and deficiencies (缺陷) were highlighted by employees as early as possible. It originated in organizations where tiny errors can have catastrophic consequences： These are known as high reliability organizations (HROs) and include hospitals, submarines and airlines. Because errors can be so disastrous in these organizations, it’s dangerous to operate in an environment where employees don’t feel able to report errors that have been made or raise concerns about that deficiencies may turn into future errors. The No Blame Culture maximizes accountability because all contributions to the event occurring are identified and reviewed for possible change and improvement.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which supervises air traffic across the United States, makes it clear that its role is not to assign blame or liability but to find out what went wrong and to issue recommendations to avoid a repeat. The proud record of the airline industry in reducing accidents partly reflects no-blame processes for investigating crashes and close calls. The motive to learn from errors also exists when the risks are lower. That is why software engineers and developers routinely investigate what went wrong if a website crashes or ‘a server goes down.
There is an obvious worry about embracing blamelessness. What if the website keeps crashing and the same person is at fault Sometimes, after all, blame is deserved. The idea of the “just culture”, a framework developed in the 1990s by James Reason, a psychologist, addresses the concern that the incompetent and the malevolent (恶意的) will be let off the hook. The line that Britain’s aviation regulator draws between honest errors and the other sort is a good starting-point It promises a culture in which people “are not punished for actions or decisions taken by them that are commensurate with their experience and training”. That narrows room for blame but does not remove it entirely.
8. According to the research published in 2015 companies that ________ had better performance.
A. blamed external factors B. owned up to mistakes
C. conducted investigations D. admitted failures
9. According to the passage, the No Blame Culture ________.
A. encourages the early disclosure of errors
B. only exists in high reliability organizations
C. enables people to shift the blame onto others
D. prevents organizations to learn from errors
10. What is the major concern about embracing blamelessness according to the passage
A. Innocent people might take the blame by admitting their failure.
B. Being blamed for mistakes can destroy trust in employees.
C. The line between honest errors and the other sort is not clear.
D. People won’t learn their lessons if they aren’t blamed for failures.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Why We Fail to Learn from Our Own Mistakes
B. How to Avoid Disastrous Errors in Organizations
C. Why We Should Stop the Blame Game at Work
D. How to Deal with Workplace Blame Culture
D
While teenagers who are at risk of depression with risky behaviors — drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and cutting classes often alert parents and teachers that serious problems are brewing, a new study finds that there’s another group of adolescents who are in nearly as much danger of experiencing the same mental symptoms.
These teens use tons of media, get insufficient sleep and have a sedentary (不爱活动的) lifestyle. Of course, that may sound like a description of every teenager on the planet. But the study warns that it is teenagers who engage in all three of these practices in the extreme that are truly in a dangerous position. Because their behaviors are not usually seen as a red flag, these young people have been called the “invisible risk” group by the study’s authors.
The study’s authors surveyed 15395 students and analyzed nine risk behaviors, including excessive alcohol use, illegal drug use, heavy smoking and high media use. Their aim was to determine the relationship between these risk behaviors and mental health issues in teenagers. The group that scored high on all nine of the risk behaviors was most likely to show symptoms of depression; in all, nearly 15% of this group reported being depressed, compared with just 4% of the low-risk group. But the invisible group wasn’t far behind the high-risk set, with more than 13% of them exhibiting depression.
The findings caught Carli off guard. “We didn’t expect that,” he says. “The high-risk group and low-risk group are obvious, but this third group was not only unexpected. It was so distinct and so larger — nearly one third of our sample — that it became a key finding of the study.”
Carli says that one of the most significant things about his study is that it provides new early warning signs for parents, teachers and mental health-care providers. And early identifications, support and treatment for mental health issues, he says, are the best ways to keep them from turning into full-blown disorders.
12. Which teenager probably belongs to the “invisible group”
A. A teenager who drinks frequently. B. A teenager who exercises regularly.
C. A teenager who skips school. D. A teenager who suffers from a lack of sleep.
13. What can we know about the new study
A. It was conducted by analyzing and comparing the previous data.
B. It was intended to dig into the reasons for depression.
C. It revealed an alarming rate of the invisible group suffering depression.
D. Its findings were under expectation of the research team.
14. What is Carli’s attitude toward the findings
A. Conservative. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
15 The author wrote this passage to ________.
A. introduce a new therapy for teens’ mental disorder
B. warn about the unobserved signals for teens’ mental problems
C. share a novel psychological experiment with teens
D. caution teens against developing unhealthy habits

47. 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。
School was over, the day was fading and it started to rain. I stood at the school gate, with a loaded backpack on my shoulders. It was Friday again — a weekend of joy with unlimited sleeping hours and dinner courses specially made to my taste. I waved goodbye to my friends as they jumped into their fathers’ warm and comfortable cars. Curiously, this gave rise to a disturbing feeling in me. It was not exactly what they called jealousy, but something like depression. I knew all 1 could expect was an old bike Mom would ride along on, with the badly-oiled chain creaking against the wheel to announce her arrival.
Every Friday when Mom came to pick me up, it was a moment full of great expectation and great unease. I always felt my face burning as we rode our way in and out of the cars and saw my friends’ faces sticking out of the car windows. It was like stepping into a ballroom with beautifully dressed ladies and finding yourself in a smelly T-shirt.
To tell you the truth, Mom is quite a headache occasionally. She looks like a homely middle-aged housewife. She knits most of my sweaters, chiefly in old styles. Whenever caught by some curious classmates asking what brand my sweaters are, I’d force a smile and reply in a half-joking manner: homemade. She simply doesn’t seem to understand what’s in fashion; Chanel or Gucci means nothing to her.
I couldn’t remember when l started to find her such an embarrassment. As a little boy, I relied on her so much. She had been working at home, cooking in the kitchen, knitting by the lamp, or riding across town to buy me a book 1 badly needed. It had always been fun riding with her. I had enjoyed watching our shadows growing longer and shorter in an alternate fashion by the light of the streetlamps along the road. Just now there seemed to be something standing between us, something that made her so strange to me and me to her.
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。
Today Mom showed up in a raincoat.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mom tried to cover me with the raincoat again as a storm set in.

【46题答案】
【答案】Dear Ben,
I’m sorry to learn about your current trouble regarding the use of AI tools for your assignment. I can fully relate to your situation as I once faced similar temptations to manage heavy academic workloads. However, AI should never replace our own intellectual efforts.
As a scientist once said, “Our intelligence is what makes us human, and AI is an extension of that quality.” While AI can assist in certain areas, over reliance on it undermines the essence of learning and compromise academic integrity. Therefore, I suggest you improve your work without solely depending on AI tools and have an open conversation with your teacher, clarifying your intentions and demonstrating your commitment to genuine learning.
Learning is not just about completing tasks but also about the process of acquiring knowledge. Wish you all the best.
Yours,
Li Hua

【47题答案】
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Today she showed up in a raincoat.When I saw her, I felt full of great expectation but great unease. It seemed so unfair that my classmates sat in their parents’ cars, but I just sat on an old badly-oiled chain creaking bike.Why I had to hide the rain from the ugly raincoat.I was full of complaint about all of these. I was sick of these.Howl wished I could also have a rich parents like my classmates. Thinking about these things, I was quite dissatisfied with my mother. I even didn’t want her to pick me up.So I didn’t say a word with her and sat on the bike silently.
Paragraph 2:
Mom tried to cover me with the back of the raincoat again as a storm set in. She also didn’t say a word with me. She just wanted to make sure that I didn’t get wet. She seemed to know What I felt. So She just wanted to comfort me and gave me the warmth and love She could give me. Thinking about these, my eyes was filled with tears. I didn’t feel uneased, but was full of greatness for the best she tried to give me.
