America's Attorney General Eric Holder recently said that everimproving technology is making it easier for people and countries to strike at the United States.‎ Mister Holder said the Justice Department is fighting back aggressively. He said it is working with various states and government agencies to find and bring to justice those involved in cyber theft and cyber espionage (谍报活动). And, the attorney general called for increased cooperation with private companies. He described the importance of keeping trade secrets a secret.‎ Attorney General Eric Holder said, “A single trade secret can be worth millions, or even billions, of dollars. Trade secret theft can require companies to lay off employees, close factories, to lose sales and profits, to experience a decline in competitive position and advantage, or even to go out of business.”‎ The new policy also calls for fines and trade actions against individuals and countries that target American trade secrets.‎ The plan was announced the day after the American information security company Mandiant published the findings of its investigation of cyberattacks. It reports that more than 140 companies have been attacked since 2006. The targets include some of the biggest companies in the United States, companies like Apple Computer, Facebook, Lockheed Martin, CocaCola and many others.‎ In addition to companies and banks, the hackers are also reported to strike state, federal and international agencies and organizations.

But these lessons are among the most difficult to teach.‎ Enter KidZania, an internationally praised and truly unique children's theme park that makes life a little easier for parents.‎ KidZania is not a traditional theme park in almost any sense of the word — there are no roller coasters or merrygorounds in sight. There are, however, plenty of attractions and activities that will keep children busy, active, engaged and excited all day.‎ What makes it so much fun is that it's a kidsized city — complete with restaurants, banks, grocery stores and hospitals — where the kids get to be adults, doing the things most of us do on any normal day.‎ They start by picking one of nearly 100 “careers” and learning about it. Then, they put on their uniform and are ready to work and earn KidZania dollars (“Kidzos”)．‎ Most activities are universal but some are localized to reflect the distinct flavors and personality of the country and region where the park is located and to keep it real for the kids.‎ Kids get paid for every job they do, which helps them explore the mysteries of managing money.‎ ‎ Kidzos in hand, they can spend it or save it. If they run short of money, they'll have to find a way to earn some.‎ Each KidZania city is planned in amazing detail, even including real world brands that help sponsor the city and keep it running. I was a little wary of all the popular corporate logos, but the brands weren't pushed at all. They are there to reinforce the “real city” feeling by mixing it with things kids recognize.‎ KidZania employs senior citizens who give the park a homey feel and help put children at ease. Management also employs the disabled, whether blind deaf or wheelchairbound. Besides making for a more realistic city, this teaches children about those with different abilities and gives them an opportunity to spend time with people they might otherwise have stared at or treated less than kindly.‎ Socialization is an important part of KidZania, just as it is throughout childhood. The KidZania experience empowers kids, giving them the confidence to be their best selves, and the inspiration to be great global citizens.

Teenagers are considered dishonest, old people are considered incapable, and kids are considered noisy.‎ Picture this: A teenage boy, with a group of friends, walks laughing into a store. They read some magazines, walk by the candy, and then walk out without buying anything. What is the first thought of this? It might be that they stole something. Maybe the employees would even go as far as to call the police about these boys, who didn't steal anything, but were discriminated against simply because they were “teenage boys”．‎ This happens every day all over America. We don't tell the kids much because they “won't understand”， and they're “too young”. We feel surprised when we see old people run marathons, or even take part in simple fun activities such as volleyball or swimming because they are “old” and “incapable”．‎ People who are discriminated against, no matter the reason, can be hurt by it. They can be offended, because it isn't something they can help. Like my example of the teenage boy above, he was simply having fun as he walked into the store. He wasn't planning to steal anything or to cause any trouble; he could even be one of the best students in school, but he was still discriminated against for being a teenager.‎ Of course, this doesn't mean you should persuade your grandparents right away to run a marathon but give them a little trust. They are capable of doing things as we are, and sometimes more. So next time you tell your little brother that he's “too young to understand” or think that your grandmother is “too old to do sports”， listen to yourself. I know you are offended by being considered as a teenager, so how do you think they feel? Remember, it all hurts. Everyone should have equal opportunities, no matter how old he is.‎ 语篇解读：本文是说明文。在美国，年龄歧视仍然比较普遍。青少年、老年人和儿童都是被歧视的人群。‎ ‎6．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A．The fact. B．The result.‎ C．The thought. D．The problem.‎ 解析：选C　代词指代题。店主的第一反应是什么呢？他会认为他们偷东西了。此处it指代上一句中的“the first thought”。‎ ‎7．The author mentions the teenage boy in Paragraph 2 to show that ________.‎ A．people should give more opportunities to teenagers B．age discrimination is serious in the US C．teenagers should behave in a proper way D．it's really hard to depend on teenagers 解析：选B　推理判断题。结合第二段及第三段第一句可推知，第二段提到的事例主要说明在美国，歧视青少年的问题比较严重，即在美国年龄歧视问题比较严重。‎ ‎8．The third paragraph is mainly about ________.‎ A．the results of age discrimination B．the negative sides of age discrimination C．the examples of age discrimination D．the reasons for age discrimination 解析：选C　段落大意题。文章第三段列举了两个事例，以说明在美国年龄歧视普遍存在这一问题。‎ ‎9．Which of the following might the author support?‎ A．We shouldn't judge others by their age.‎ B．We should try to help incapable people.‎ C．We should encourage old people to run marathons.‎ D．We shouldn't enter a store if we don't want to buy anything.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。结合文章最后两段中出现的“offend”和“hurt”可推知，作者认为年龄歧视会对他人造成一定的伤害，所以我们不应该因为年龄而歧视他人。‎ D ‎(2018·南通质检)Sir Nicholas Winton, rescuer of children, died on July 1st, 2015, aged 106.‎ When the letters and the honor came knocking on the door of his house in Maidenhead, and the filmmakers came calling, Nicholas Winton always protested that he was no hero. Heroes faced danger; he never had. They put their lives on the line; he had just worked at home in Hampstead, after a day being a stockbroker in the city. They avoided bullets and the secret police; he wrote letters, made telephone calls, and composed lists.‎ The fact that he had rescued 669 children from Czechoslovakia just as the Nazis invaded did not, in his mind, constitute heroism. He hadn't gone out there in 1938 with any burning urge to do good; just for a holiday, in fact. Nor had he gone looking for children to rescue. Instead they and their parents had come to him, as soon as word got round that he might be able to help them leave Prague and get to the West. From 6：‎00 a．m. the knocks would come at the door of his room in the Europa Hotel, and he would open it to find some shivering, starving, desperate figures.‎ When faced with a problem, his instinct was to solve it. So he made lists of the children, took their photographs, got them Home Office entry permits, found them foster families and organised their departure on trains, via the Netherlands, to Liverpool Street. After just three weeks in Prague, he went back to Britain and carried on the work from there.‎ The British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia gave him almost no help, so he took ‎ sole charge himself. The Home Office was slow with entry permits, so he copied some illegally. In search of fosterparents for the children he put their photos in Picture Post; in the hope of farther havens for them he wrote to governors and senators in America and even to President Roosevelt, to no avail. He could have rescued at least 2,000 more, he said later, if America had been willing to take any.‎ A hero might have got involved in the stress and distress of individual cases. He avoided that by treating them like a commercial transaction: like the world he knew, in fact. A market was created, takers were sought and any likely bidder would do. Siblings were separated, if necessary. Jewish children — they were almost all Jewish — were often placed with Gentile families. Mr Winton did not care and he just had to get the children out alive and fast. When they arrived, exhausted, at Liverpool Street he seldom greeted them himself, preferring to stay calm at a distance. Only one event traumatised him: the disappearance of 250 children on the last transport of September 1st 1939, as the war was declared. But this awful thing too he stored at the back of his mind, realizing that he had done all he could and his part was over. The scrapbook of lists, photographs and begging letters went up to the attic; he said nothing about it, and moved on.‎ He liked it that way. The silent background suited him very well. For 50 years he sat on the Czech story, not supposing anyone would want to know, until in 1988 the scrapbook came to light and, with it, a blaze of publicity, culminating in an evening on Esther Rantzen's That's Life TV show when the whole audience suddenly stood up round him, applauding him, and every one was a child he had saved. It was “absolutely awful”， he thought; and wept with longsuppressed joy.‎ He was still no hero, though, in his own book. He had had no desire to improve the world: indeed, not even much idea which job he was best suited for. At his father's suggestion he had tried banking first, having left Stowe with nothing much to show for it. After the war he dabbled in business, but it didn't take. In later years he worked for a mentalhealth charity and helped to set up homes for the elderly; and wondered why saving the Czech children was deemed more heroic than those things. He had simply done what needed doing at that time, in that place.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了在二战期间，曾经营救了669名捷克斯洛伐克儿童的尼古拉斯·温顿，他历经艰辛最终营救成功。‎ ‎10．Why did Nicholas Winton refuse to regard himself as a hero?‎ A．His behavior didn't matter in the rescue.‎ B．He didn't undergo risk in the rescue.‎ C．He didn't want to make himself public.‎ D．His travel to Prague was simply for a holiday.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段的“Nicholas Winton always protested that he was no hero ... made telephone calls, and composed lists.”可推断，尼古拉斯·温顿拒绝把自己当作英雄是因为他认为自己没有经历危险。故选B项。‎ ‎11．What made Winton decide to help rescue the children?‎ A．His strong desire to do good.‎ B．His determination to be a hero.‎ C．His hatred towards Nazis.‎ D．His sympathy for children's fate.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段以及第四段第一句可知，尼古拉斯·温顿去营救这些孩子，并不是出于要做英雄、做慈善和反对纳粹，仅仅是依靠见到那些悲惨孩子时的同情之心。故选D项。‎ ‎12．What can we learn about Winton from Paragraph 5?‎ A．He experienced a tough time during the rescue.‎ B．He didn't get any aid from the British government.‎ C．He intended to send all children to America but failed.‎ D．He transported children to Britain with official entry permits.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第五段的描述可知，在整个营救过程中，英国捷克斯洛伐克难民委员会几乎没有给他任何帮助，他独自承担费用，内政部在审核通行证上也很缓慢，为此他还给美国的州长、参议员，甚至是给总统写信，但收效甚微。由此可知，在营救过程中，他经历了很大的困难。故选A项。‎ ‎13．Why did Mr Winton show little enthusiasm after children arrived in Britain?‎ A．He didn't want the rescue to have great impact on his future life.‎ B．He merely wanted the children to be adopted as soon as possible.‎ C．He felt sorry for the disappearance of 250 children on the last transport.‎ D．He was satisfied with the effort that he had made to rescue the children.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第六段可知，尼古拉斯·温顿在被营救的孩子到达英国后，并没有表现出太多的热情，甚至是有意疏远他们，他是不想因为营救了这些孩子被人们当作英雄而影响了自己的生活。故选A项。‎ ‎14．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?‎ A．Winton uncovered the hidden history himself after 50 years.‎ B．Winton was reluctant to see those saved by him on the TV show.‎ C．Winton thought what he had done for the children nothing special.‎ D．Winton didn't achieve great success in his career after the war.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后两段的描述特别是文章最后两句可知，他只是做了那个时期、那个地方需要做的事情。任何正义的人一定也会做同样的事情。由此可推知，尼古拉斯·温顿认为自己做的事情并没有什么特别的。故选C项。‎ ‎15．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．A job well done B．A risky rescue C．A group of lucky children D．A living legend 解析：选A　标题归纳题。纵观全文可知，在二战期间，尼古拉斯·温顿曾经营救了669名捷克斯洛伐克儿童，他历经艰辛最终营救成功。选项中“A job well done”意为“做得很好的一件事情”，概括了文章主旨。故选A项。‎ 提分专练(十二)‎ Ⅰ.完形填空 One evening last fall, Marcos Ugarte was doing his homework in his room.

But scientists have struggled to find why certain animals move faster than others. Now it seems size might be the answer.‎ Animals' speed limits affect how they migrate, and how they interact with their environment — and whether they eat or are eaten. Speed is determined by how far an animal moves in a given amount of time. So, it is clear that animals with longer limbs or fins will travel further and reach higher speeds. But all the evidence says it isn't so: today's fastest animals aren't the elephants or blue whales, but the cheetahs and marlin. Some scientists have suggested this is because the bones and muscles of very large animals can't stand the force experienced during the rapid move.‎ But Myriam Hirt at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research thinks there is something else going on. By examining data from 494 running, flying and swimming species, Hirt has created a model that seems to confirm that the fastest species are those with the body mass (体重) that falls in the middle of the range. For running and swimming animals that “middle” body mass is about 100 kilograms; for flying animals it is about 1 to 10 grams.‎ Her team suggests being “middlesized” is of great advantage because of basic physical considerations. Animals have a limited amount of time to get up to high speeds before they run out of the quickly available energy stored in muscle tissue. Larger animals have more muscle tissue, and therefore more energy available for a race. But, due to their large body mass, they can't start moving as quickly as small animals and take a longer time to reach a given absolute speed. By the time they get up to higher speeds, they have little of this quickly available energy left. The model shows that maximum speed drops off steeply as animals grow beyond the middle size, and matches what we know about different species' speeds.‎ Hirt was surprised by the model's universal applicability. “It works for animals of different ecosystems, movement types and even for larger extinct species，” she says. “We can also make highly accurate predictions of maximum speeds of currently living species.” She also says the model can also allow us to predict extinct species' speeds. The running speeds of dinosaurs have been a controversial point of debate for some time.‎ But some scientists are skeptical of the model until more evidence is presented. Mauricio Fuentes is an independent researcher from Santiago, Chile, who focuses on the biomechanics of fast running speeds. He would like to see more evidence that the model applies to swimming and flying animals. “A good correlation (相互关系) does not necessarily mean the model is correct, but it certainly is a good signal，” says Fuentes.‎ ‎ Why fast animals are never too small or big Animals' speed limits ‎★Their speeds influence how they migrate and whether they can (1)________ in their environment.‎ ‎★Animals with longer limbs or fins may not move the fastest for their ‎ bones and muscles are (2)________ to stand the force.‎ Hirt's study The result ‎ of the study It analyses data from about 500 species and confirms that ‎ ‎(3)________ animals run, swim or fly the fastest. ‎ The analysisof the study ‎★Animals with middle body mass are (4)________ because it takes a (5)________ time for them to get up to high speeds.‎ ‎★Those largesized animals have little available (6)________ left after they speed up.‎ ‎★Maximum speed (7)________ sharply as animals grow beyond the middle size.‎ Different ‎ ‎(8)_______‎ on the study ‎★It can be (9)________ used and it can also allow us to predict both currently living species' and extinct species' speeds.‎ ‎★It is (10)________ by some scientists like Mauricio Fuentes, who hopes for more evidence.‎ 答案：1.survive　2.unable　3.middlesized　4.advantageous ‎5．short(er)　6.energy　7.decreases　8.opinions/views ‎9．universally/widely　10.doubted/suspected Ⅲ.书面表达 ‎(2018·启东中学高三月考)请认真阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ On a recent visit to the Museum of Modern Art with a friend of mine and her daughter, wandering through the museum's exhibits, I was struck by how often my friend's 13yearold daughter asked us to take photos of her with her smart phone in front of the artwork. Then, she gazed at the photos which she would then post on Instagram, Snapchat and all the rest. She was not the only person who was doing this; it seemed that everybody was busy taking photos of themselves “experiencing” the museum.‎ This is by no means a criticism of my friend's daughter or anyone else. What was concerning me was that being busy in being photographed and posting photos, my friend's daughter even had no time spent in visiting the museum and appreciating the artworks attentively. But can photos in the phone really take the place of the experience we want actually and make us bring back the good memories we expect to experience in the near future?‎ ‎[写作内容]‎ ‎1．用约30个单词写出上文概要；‎ ‎2．用约120个单词阐述你对“只顾拍照发帖，而不真正地体验旅游”这一现象的看法，并用2～3个理由或论据支撑你的看法。‎ ‎[写作要求]‎ ‎1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；‎ ‎3．不必写标题。‎ ‎[评分标准]‎ 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。‎ 参考范文：‎ The passage above illustrates a common phenomenon that tourists keep taking photos or are busy posting their photos on the Internet rather than appreciate what they are experiencing.‎ As far as I am concerned, this kind of traveling should not be advocated. For one thing, if we do what the little girl did, life will become a product through which we promote our image, but we often ignore the fact that the screen image actually cannot accurately reflect the inside of us. For another thing, the more we use life to create an identity, the more distant from life we feel. Instead of being part of it, we might feel as if we have to keep posting new life material to prove our existence, as a result of which the gap between us and life grows wider and wider.‎ What's more, the more time we spend in posting pictures, the more life experiences we will miss, and the only thing we will get after traveling is nothing but pictures.‎
