16、curity. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. “123456“ or “12345“ are also common choices. That predictability lets se

17、curity researchers (and hackers) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on. However, with the co-op

18、eration of Yahoo!, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners. Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean

19、or German chose the most secure passwords; those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games. “Nag screens“ that told users they had chose

20、n a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked. But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. Despite their differences, the 70

21、 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt: “An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts.“ And that is a worthwhile outcome for a ha

22、cker. One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it“s time for users to consider t

23、he alternatives to traditional passwords.（分数：5.00）(1).People tend to use passwords that are _.（分数：1.00）A.easy to rememberB.hard to figure outC.random numbersD.popular names(2).Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to _.（分数：1.00）A.lack of research toolsB.lack of research

26、g websites offer users convenient access七、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain“s heritagethe Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen? By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a Wor

27、ld Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected. But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones“ foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two.

28、 They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey. It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast. Threats also included farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working

29、 on the fields and were a free source of building materials. Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain“s largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved. “Lubbock aroused n

30、ational attention for ancient monuments,“ says Glancey. “At the time places like Stonehenge were just seen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.“ “Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural history.“ But Lubbock

31、 couldn“t buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed government powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time. For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament.

32、 Finally, in 1882, it was voted into law. It had, however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain“s heritage better than private owners. Pressure started to be put on the o

33、wners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 1800s was _.（分数：1.00）A.a royal propertyB.utterly neglectedC.legally protectedD.a public property(2).One stone in Stonehenge fell over because _.（分数：1.00）A.rats weakened its foundatio

34、nB.farmers cut it to build housesC.visitors carved pictures into itD.visitors chipped pieces off it(3).Lubbock proposed a bill to _.（分数：1.00）A.push people to learn historyB.ensure government functionC.enforce ancient site protectionD.push visitors to behave properly(4).When the bill was voted into l

35、aw in 1882, it had been made less _.（分数：1.00）A.severeB.biasedC.implicitD.complex(5).This text is mainly about _.（分数：1.00）A.a famous British Parliament memberB.the value of ancient heritages in the UKC.the history and protection of StonehengeD.the origin of the Ancient Monuments Bill八、Part B(总题数：1，分数

36、：5.00)Lucy: As the mother of two girls, I was moved to tears by your article, because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don“t think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it“s really normal and I love the way you have put into words wha

37、t so many mums feel at this stage in their lives. Anna: My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature en

38、ough to be so aware of their own feelings, and celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit. Beth: There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understoo

39、d that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between me and him. The strange thing is years later, my own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creeping in. Clare: When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I wa

40、s not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in her loveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on things like wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming, and

41、hope that she enjoys her life. Ruth: I think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a newspaper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates,

42、many of whom are hotter and smarter than I was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them. Now match the name of each person to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements. StatementsA. You have spoken out the true feelings of mothers like me.

43、 B. It is helpful for mothers to reveal their hidden feelings. C. Emotionally mature mothers understand their daughters. D. I understand my mother now, being a mother myself. E. You have expressed what most mothers feel but dare not say. F. Do your duty as a mother and hope for the best for your dau

44、ghter. G. A mother should not envy her children and make public her improper feelings.（分数：5.00）(1).Lucy（分数：1.00）(2).Anna（分数：1.00）(3).Beth（分数：1.00）(4).Clare（分数：1.00）(5).Ruth（分数：1.00）九、Part C(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Whenever I hear a recording of John Denver singing “Sunshine on My Shoulders,“ I find myself smi

45、ling, drawn to a love of the sun and outdoors I“ve had for decades as a Michigan native. Walking barefoot to the lake, playing shirtless in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. 1 Studies have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun exposure. One reason

46、may be due to nitric oxide, a gas whose production is stimulated when your skin is exposed to the sun“s rays. 2 Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to better heart health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily. 3 Research on 280 volunteers there found that people

47、had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area. One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground. The earth has an electrical current. 4 Although “earthing“ or “grou

48、nding“ is considered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to reduce heart disease risk. So, walk around barefoot whenever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches. 5 A 2011 British review of 11 studies f

49、ound that people who exercised outside generally reported more energy and less anger, tension, and depressionall factors contributing to heart at-tackthan those who worked out indoors. A. Exercising indoors is another option. B. It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks. C. Exercising outdoors may be more beneficial than working out indoors. D. In Japan, walking through forests for healing has become a popular practice. E. Direct contact with it may be a stabilizing force for good health. F. As a doctor, I can tell you they are also
