use suffered a security reach，leaving customers at the risk of exposure.Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.‎ Don’t fear：you can easily set up proper defenses.Here’s how.‎ ‎•Clean Your Computer and Smartphone Before you put new security measures into place，make sure your devices are as spotless as possible.This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy—or malware that may have already infected your system.These days，it’s also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses.iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware，but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.‎ ‎•Secure Your WiFi It’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection—that’s why you want to be careful when using public WiFi.Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago，it’s a good idea to refresh your settings.‎ ‎•Use passwords What you’ve heard is true：passwords should use a variety of special characters，numerals，letters，and cases when possible.‎ ‎•Check the shopping security Take care when shopping online.Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping.If the lock icon encryption(加密) is not there，do not give out credit details.Also，check that the site is legal—never go to a site from a random e-mail and start shopping online.‎ Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping.This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for “in real life” can still be used uninfluenced.‎ Don’t store information on any store’s website.It may be convenient but it’s also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.‎ ‎21．This passage is mainly about .‎ A．ways of avoiding identity theft B．tips of freeing computers from viruses C．measures to ensure network security D．steps to keep track of passwords ‎22．To put new security measures into place，we need to .‎ A．clear out everything in the system B．make a random selection of network C．refresh the infected system D．get rid of potential spyware ‎23．According to the passage，the risk of exposing personal information may possibly be caused by .‎ A．the applications of antivirus programs B．the difficult access to passwords C．the practice of using public WiFi D．the separate credit card for online shopping B ‎“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice.Gifts are easy—they’re given after all.Choices can be hard.”—Jeff Bezos I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago.I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year.I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast，and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me.I had just turned 30 years old，and I’d been married for a year.I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t，and I wasn’t sure what to expect.MacKenzie told me I should go for it.As a young boy，I’d been a garage inventor.I’d always wanted to be an inventor，and she wanted ‎ me to follow my passion.‎ I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people，and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired.I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet.He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me，and finally said，“That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision.Seen in that light，it really was a difficult choice，but finally，I decided I had to give it a shot.I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing.And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all.‎ After much consideration，I took the less safe path to follow my passion，and I’m proud of that choice.For all of us，in the end，we are our choices.‎ ‎24.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?‎ A．His dream of being an inventor.‎ B．The support of his wife.‎ C．Millions of exciting titles.‎ D．The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.‎ ‎25．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?‎ A．He would be very excited if he tried it out.‎ B．The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.‎ C．He would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try.‎ D．The decision not to try the online bookstore would terrify him.‎ ‎26．We can know from the passage that .‎ A．the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author B．the author might not regret if he failed the idea C．the author wanted someone else to try the idea D．the author might go back to his boss if he failed ‎27．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A．We Are What We Choose B．The Starting of Amazon C．Cleverness and Kindness D．Following My Passion C We are surrounded by mixed messages about mistakes: we’re told we earn by making them，but we work hard to avoid them.So the result is that most of us know that we are going to make mistakes，but deep down，we feel we shouldn’t.‎ Experiments with schoolchildren who did well on a given test showed that those who were praised for being smart and then offered a more challenging or less challenging task afterward usually chose the easier one.On the other hand，children praised for trying hard—rather than being smart—far more often selected the more difficult task.‎ If we try hard to avoid mistakes，we aren’t open to getting the information we need in order to do better.In a writing study，experiments showed that those who were so scared to make mistakes performed worse in writing tasks than those who weren’t worried about being perfect.They feared receiving any kind of negative feedback，so they didn’t learn where they went wrong and how to get better.‎ We don’t just learn more when we’re open to mistakes；we learn deeper.Research tells us that if we’re only concerned about getting the right answer，we don’t always learn the underlying concepts that help us truly understand whatever we’re trying to figure out.Mistakes need to be seen not as a failure to learn，but as a guide to what still needs to be learned.As Thomas Edison said，“I am not discouraged，because every abandoned wrong ‎ attempt is another step forward.”‎ Furthermore，we often make mistakes because we try new things—we wander away from accepted paths.Teflon，penicillin—these are examples of great discoveries made by mistake.Take a page from Albert Einstein，who said，“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”‎ ‎28．What will happen to students praised for being smart in face of choosing tasks compared to students praised for working hard?‎ A．He will choose a less challenging task.‎ B．He will hide his mistakes from his teachers.‎ C．He will work harder to avoid mistakes.‎ D．He will ask his teachers for advice.‎ ‎29．Which of the following statements is NOT acceptable according to the passage?‎ A．The more mistakes we make，the more we will learn.‎ B．Mistakes can be used as a positive factor for success.‎ C．Being open to mistakes helps you understand the truth.‎ D．A step forward may come from mistakes you’ve made.‎ ‎30．What does the last paragraph want to tell us?‎ A．One must follow a correct path to avoid mistakes.‎ B．Making mistakes is not a disadvantage in a way.‎ C．You can’t make mistakes unless you try new things.‎ D．To become an Einstein，you should make mistakes.‎ ‎31．What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A．We can never avoid making mistakes when we work.‎ B．Success can’t be achieved without making mistakes.‎ C．Mistakes should be treated with a correct attitude.‎ D．Try every means to avoid mistakes in our daily life.‎ D Is there something that you’ve always wanted to try but just never had the time？Well，make plans to try it now since you are on summer vacation.Not all vacations call for taking a tour bus to take photos of famous landmarks.Some vacations allow you plenty of opportunities to learn.‎ The most difficult aspect of a learning vacation may be choosing one because the possibilities are endless.If you enjoy cooking，various companies can take you to Italy，France，Spain，Mexico or even Peru.Once there，you can learn to prepare the local cuisine(烹饪)．Trips are often planned to fit in with local food festivals or special events.‎ The term “learning vacation” often brings language to mind.The best way to learn a language is in an environment where it’s spoken.Study Spanish，French or English.Or attempt a more unusual language like Polish，Estonian or Thai.You’ll be able to learn about the country and absorb the culture at the same time.‎ If you are fond of sports，you can polish your skills or learn new ones.Golf and tennis schools welcome players of all levels.If you want a bigger thrill，you can learn to surf，go climbing or race cars.It’s even possible to learn the art and techniques of bull fighting while on vacation!‎ You can also discover your inner artist.Many places offer painting classes in different mediums.The scenic locations of the schools offer plenty of subjects that provide inspiration for practice.‎ If you prefer capturing the world on film，take a photography vacation.Travel with a small group to photograph beautiful animals or scenery.You can also practise your technique on people or at historical sights.‎ Once you decide on a vacation，choose a company carefully.Request names of recent customers you can contact，and then ask them for an evaluation.The more you know before you go，the better prepared you’ll be.Then go out and learn something!‎ ‎32．Why is it hard for you to decide on a learning vacation?‎ A．Because it is hard for you to make plans.‎ B．Because the possibilities are unlimited.‎ C．Because there are many good foods from abroad.‎ D．Because there’re too many food festivals or events.‎ ‎33．The advantage of learning a language in its native country is that .‎ A．the environment is fit for you to use the language B．you are able to learn the original foreign language C．native speakers offer you a lot of chances to practise D．you can learn the language and experience its culture ‎34．Which of the following sports suits you if you don’t like thrills?‎ A．Playing tennis. B．Car racing.‎ C．Rock climbing. D．Surfing.‎ ‎35．The purpose of writing the text is to .‎ A．advertise some popular summer programmes B．encourage readers to have a good time relaxing C．offer some tips on how to enjoy a learning vacation D．attract more readers to spend summer time learning 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ How to keep yourself safe from new virus?‎ ‎ After a new-type coronavirus was detected in viral pneumonia cases in Central China s Wuhan city a month ago, more cases have been reported in recent days. _____36_____: ‎ Wear masks outdoors ●Wearing a mask is one of the most effective ways to protect you from getting infected. ●Make sure to wear it properly by tightening up the nose clip and pulling the bottom of it over your chin. ●_____37_____, a mask is also needed to prevent you from spreading germs to others.‎ Cover your coughs and sneeze with tissue Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or you can cough or sneeze into your sleeve, but avoid covering with your hands directly.‎ ‎_____38_____ Wash your hands with soap and running water thoroughly for at least 15 seconds. ● Before eating and after using the toilet ● After returning home ● After touching trash or garbage ● After contacting with animals or handling animal wastes Strengthen your immune system and exercise regularly ● Exercise regularly is one of the most important ways to help you stay away from catching any infections. ● Make sure that shared spaces have good air flow and avoid going to crowded places such as hospitals, railway stations and airports. _____39_____. ● Seek prompt medical attention if you have symptoms of fever and respiratory infection. ● Avoid close contact with people who have flu or cold-like symptoms. ●_____40_____.
