二、阅读理解
Most passwords are still weak. A study by Specops found that 98.5% of real-world passwords are objectively weak. Only 1.5% of passwords made it into the “strong” zone, defined as being at least 15 characters long and using two or more character types. Only3.3% of passwords were longer than 15 characters. This means that most passwords can be cracked quickly using inexpensive powerful computer tools.
The most common passwords were eight characters long with just two character types, such as“Summer22” or“Office99”. About 8% of all passwords fell into this dangerously basic zone. Close behind were eight-character passwords with only one character type, most often letters alone, and in many cases lowercase letters only. These accounted for another7.6% of all passwords.
When password length is held constant, security depends largely on the variety of characters used. The table below illustrates this effect.
Character set Size of set Total combinations How long to crack
15 characters password of lowercase only (a-z) 26 Easily cracked with powerful tools in days or weeks
15 characters password of lowercase + uppercase (a-z, A-Z) 52 Much harder to crack, but still possible over time
15 characters password of alphanuneric (a-z, A-Z,0-9) 62 Very strong passwords for most practical use cases
15 characters password of all printable characters(a-z, A-Z,0-9, symbols) 94 Nearly impossible to crack
In addition to charncter variety, password length also plays an important role in security. Using passwords of 16 to 20 characters with at least two different character types-letters, numbers, or symbols- pushes the number of possible combinations into the trillions. Even high- end cracking farms would take years or centuries to break them. In reality, however, weak passwords are still very common. As Darren James, Senior Product Manager at Specops, notes, “Many users are still low- hanging fruit for online thieves, who can crack their passwords in seconds.”
21． What percentage of passwords are the most common type
A.1.5%. B.3.3%. C.7.6%. D.8%.
22． What is the main factor the table compares
A.The size of set.
B.Use of letters.
C.The cracking method.
D.Password length.
23． Why does the author quote Darren James
A.To introduce his company.
B.To warn the online thieves.
C.To stress the worrying reality.
D.To criticize users for poor choices.
Sajan Veerr Abrol is the founder of the Clothes Box Foundation in Gurugram, India. His story began in a humble way.
One afternoon in 2013, he decided to clean out his wardrobe(衣柜).“I did not want the clothes to be thrown away, so I came up with the idea of distributing them to people in the neighbours who needed them.” Soon, Sajan was joined by friends and family who loved the concept.
“We would mix and match the clothes that we received, make pairs and then distribute these to labourers at construction sites,” explains Sajan. This had a well- thought- out motive behind it, he notes. “Migrant(迁移的) labourers rarely get clothes. Your first preference would always be your house help.”
In 2015, a TV show invited Sajan and his team to share their story. “It was a TV show that changed the game for us,” recalls Sajan. They hadn’t realized that this would be the starting point for their success. “As soon as the show aired, we were flooded with calls and messages.” The response showed how much potential this social project had. And Sajan was not ready to. let it go.
Later that year, he quit his job as an analyst and turned his entire focus to the Clothes Box Foundation. Over the next decade, the team grew to areas ignored by other donation drives.
When asked about his success, Sajan says, “Well, we listen to people. We take people’s response very seriously. We then adapt the donations to the needs of each area we are delivering them to. Clothes need to suit the people in each area.”
The journey has been phenomenal for Sajan, whose voice carries a slight pride as he speaks of the foundation’s work. “Real learning comes from doing,” he emphasizes when asked what it takes to run such a project without any prior knowledge. Leading a project that links people who have extra with those who need help, he shares, “I’ ve always learnt from my seniors that where there are problems there are also opportunities.”
24．Why does Sajan distribute clothes to labourers
A.They are often ignored.
B.Their clothes wear easily.
C.He wanted to attract attention.
D.His family asked him to do so.
25．What did Sajan decide to do after the TV show
A.Reply to calls and messages.
B.Focus entirely on the project.
C.Organize a new donation drive.
D.Share charity experience with people.
26．What led to the success of Sajan’s project
A.He delivered without delay.
B.He had a large social network.
C.He tailored donations to local needs.
D.He saw the potential in public service.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text
A.The Journey to Great Wealth
B.The Project of Career Success
C.From Donation to Recognition
D.From Wardrobe to Community Help
More than 50 years ago, Jane Goodall stunned the scientific community by reporting that chimpanzees(黑猩猩) in Tanzania were using tools to extract insects out of their nests. This observation was groundbreaking, as scientists believed tool-making was a uniquely human characteristic. Louis Leakey, Goodall’s advisor, famously responded: “Now we must redefine ‘tool’, redefine ‘man’, or accept chimpanzees as humans.”
Today, overwhelming evidence shows that many species learn from one another; developing cultural behaviors that can be passed down across generations. A recent special issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B presents studies ranging from whales to wallabies, demonstrating that socially learned behavior is widespread throughout the animal kingdom.
For many species, such learned behavior is not simply interesting but essential. It allows animals to share survival skills, such as where to find food or how to avoid danger. These findings are already influencing conservation practices, from reintroductions to managing conflicts between humans and wildlife over habitat use.
This focus on learning has also led to the growing idea of “longevity (长寿)conservation.” Studies suggest that some long-lived animals, including whales and giant tortoises, act as keepers of ecological knowledge. Their long lives allow them to remember migration routes, feeding areas, and responses to environmental change. At the same time, scientists are studying how these animals maintain their health over decades or even centuries, discovering biological strategies that help resist diseases and repair cells.
These discoveries raise difficult questions about how humans define cultural heritage. If birds and whales have traditions such as songs or hunting methods, should the loss of these behaviors be treated as seriously as the loss of historical buildings
Understanding animal culture also casts doubt on proposals such as “de-extinction,” which aims to bring extinct species back to life. As a conservation strategy, this is fundamentally unworkable. Without older individuals to pass on knowledge, recreated animals would lack the skills needed to survive.
The more we learn about other species’ cultures, the harder it is to deny that we are surrounded by a planet full of “others”. Truly absorbing this knowledge might just encourage the major shift we need as protectors of this rich bio-cultural diversity.
28．Why was Goodall’s discovery considered shocking at the time
A.She challenged her advisor.
B.Louis commented on it publicly.
C.Chimpanzees were rarely studied.
D.Only humans were believed to use tools.
29．What can be inferred about animals’ learned behavior
A.It is affected by genes.
B.It expands their habitats.
C.It is critical for their survival.
D.It settles human-wildlife conflicts.
30．What role do older animals play according to longevity conservation
A.Protectors of habitats.
B.Defenders against diseases.
C.Designers of migration routes.
D.Carriers of ecological wisdom.
31．What is the main purpose of the article
A.To honor Jane Goodall’s work.
B.To urge a rethink of animals’ cultures.
C.To compare animal cultural behaviors.
D.To propose new species revival technologies.
In his new essays, the distinguished photographer Michael Collins makes an appeal for the art of close observation. He argues that the viewer’s role is to truly look at an image, rather than rush on to the next one. “Photography is now everywhere,” he complains, “and this widespread presence leads people to look briefly and move on, making reflection difficult.”
This contrast between the rewards of attention to the single image and the reality of photographic
over-supply forms the thread that runs through Blind Corner s: Essays on Photography. That doesn’t mean
every image deserves the kind of close attention Collins advocates. Most photography today, he says, “is the enemy of photography itself.” It grows“louder and emptier.” It shouts without really saying
anything.
Collins favours the photograph that doesn’t shout but leaves viewers to detect the sound behind the
silence. But he is less clear about how we will know when we come across such an image, other than that
there is a magic to it. He is very good on the magic part of the relationship among its elements, on what
happens when we set off on a searchan ultimately hopeless search to know and understand the world a
single image represents. The magic invites us in and leads us to wonder and to speculate.
The stillness provides the magic. Our need to know is what really keeps us looking, and what really
animates the image. A photograph, like a biography (传记), can never tell us enough. We always want to know more. As Collins demonstrates through his imaginings about the figures of Coronation Day, their stillness and silence encourage us to think we are teasingly within reach of knowing them.
For Collins, a photograph’s power lies in its very uniqueness. However, this is not a fashionable
view, as we are much more used to looking at photographs in relation to one another today, not just on
gallery walls but in digital collections. This tendency to group photographs together is doubtless
traceable, in part at least, to the phenomenon of over-supply and the question of what to do with all
these photos. Yet for Collins, such relational viewing can weaken what gives a photograph its force in the
first place: the intensity of sustained attention to a single, self- contained image.
32．What does Collins think of most photos today
A.They are quite realistic.
B.They are too distracting.
C.They lack real meaning.
D.They deserve careful study.
33．What is the meaning of the underlined word “speculate” in paragraph 3
A.Guess reasonably. B.Judge critically. C.Describe exactly. D.Recall clearly.
34．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Why stillness calms viewers.
B.Why stillness invites imagination.
C.Why stillness provides animation.
D.Why stillness shows exact details.
35．What advantage does a single image have
A.It fits into social media.
B.It allows deeper reflection.
C.It presents a more complete story.
D.It reminds people of similar images.
三、七选五
36.Have you ever found yourself losing focus during a conversation, nodding along but failing to understand what the other person is saying ① This experience is common, as the mind often wanders to other thoughts even while sounds continue to reach the ears. As a result, your conversations and relationships can be affected, especially if others feel unheard.
② However, they are quite different. Hearing happens naturally when sound reaches
your ears, even if you are not paying attention. For example, you can hear traffic noise or voices in the
background while doing homework. Listening, by contrast, is an active and intentional process.
③ When you listen, you focus on the meaning, emotions, and intentions behind the words.
Active listening allows you to respond thoughtfully and connect more deeply with others.
Both hearing and listening play important roles in your lives. Hearing helps you understand your
surroundings, while listening builds connection and emotional support. Alack of listening can lead to loneliness, stress, and emotional difficulties; feeling listened to promotes belonging. ④
Then how can we strengthen the listening skill To start, develop the right state of mind by staying
open, curious, and free of judgments. Next, focus fully on the speaker, noticing both words and nonverbal
implications while removing distractions. ⑤ You can summarize, ask questions, and
confirm the speaker’s feelings. These practices improve understanding and help build stronger connections.
A.Give advice only if required.
B.So we should try to be better listeners.
C.Hearing and listening are often confused.
D.With full attention, you can actively respond.
E.In such a moment, you are hearing, not listening.
F.It requires your attention, effort, and understanding.
G.There are several differences between hearing and listening.

54．We were joking in the classroom when Mrs. Virginia DeView asked us to be silent.“Now,” she said smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” Our professions We stared at each other. We
were only 13 and 14 years old. This teacher was crazy. That was pretty much how the kids looked at
Virginia DeView. Because of her physical appearance and demanding teaching, most of us just ignored
her brilliance.
“Yes, you will all be searching for your future professions,” she continued with a light on her face.
“You will each write a research paper on a career you might pursue. Each of you will have to interview
someone in your field and give an oral report.”
All of us were confused. Who knows what they want to do at 13 I liked art, singing and writing.
But I was terrible at art, and when I sang, my sisters screamed, “Oh, please shut up. " The only thing left
was writing. Finally, most of us students had selected something; I picked journalism.
This meant I had to interview a newspaper reporter in person, and I was terrified.Finally, I sat down
in front of a reporter, barely able to speak. Realizing I was terrified, he shared stories that had stayed with
him long after they were printed. He talked about moments when a few lines in a newspaper helped
someone be seen, or when telling the truth made a real difference in a stranger’s life. He understood the
power of words - and why he could never walk away from this job.
A few days later, I gave my oral report totally from memory. I had been so engaged and I got an A
for the project. I felt a great pride. For the first time, I realized that writing quietly stayed with me,
becoming a real part of my life.
However, as I approached university, my family urged me to consider a more practical path and I
ended up majoring in business. But I had no real interest in it. The courses felt foreign and I often found
myself lost, unsure where I belonged.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then I remembered Virginia DeView and the seed she had planted in my mind.
Having graduated with honors in journalism, I went to thank her in person.

Traditional Culture in the Digital Age
In the digital age, traditional Chinese culture is experiencing a new form of preservation. For example, the Palace Museum uses digital technology to document each cultural relic in detail, allowing people to explore them on virtual screens. This not only lets them “live forever” digitally but also conveys the brilliance of Chinese civilization. Through such technology, we can explore restored ancient relics at any time.
Digital tools thus bridge the past and the future of Chinese culture. They make cultural resources easier to access and more engaging for the public. By combining technology with respect for tradition, I believe we can ensure that traditional culture continues to live.
