They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along the -with instant recall of my bank PIN(密码), my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. He fell for a marketing trick. B. He was driven mad by passwords.
C. He had a serious memory disorder. D. He was rejected by the gas station.
5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______ .
A. show how secure his passwords were
B. challenge the intelligence of scientists
C. prove the uselessness of his passwords
D. promote a more scientific password system
6. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.
B. To recommend a password-remembering method.
C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.
D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords.
7. What is the tone of the text
A. Inspiring. B. Indifferent. C. Humorous. D. Serious.
C
If you had boarded a passenger plane in 1950, you would have seen five people in the cockpit (驾驶舱): two pilots, a radio operator, a navigator and a flight engineer. Over the years, technical advances have gradually removed the need for the last three, leaving just two pilots. That has been the norm (标准) in commercial aviation for decades.
However, things could be simplified further — one of the two remaining pilots could soon go. Many military aircraft are already manned by a single pilot, and for commercial aviation this would mean stepping into a brave new world.
But how will airlines make this brave innovation come true One way is to greatly increase automation in the cockpit, devoting more tasks to computers. Another is to shift the same tasks from the cockpit to the ground. “The latter approach seems to be more workable, at least in the short term, because much of what is required already exists,” says Patrick Smith, an airline pilot flying Boeing 767 aircraft. “A trained ground operator could observe a number of flights at once and even fully control the plane remotely if needed.”
It’s true that single-pilot operations could help airlines save money, but there is another reason which makes them quicken their pace for this crucial breakthrough. Boeing predicts a need for 600,000 new pilots in the next two decades, but by some estimates, there will be a deficit (赤字) of at least 34,000 pilots globally by 2025. Reducing the number of pilots on some crews or aircraft could lessen the impact of this.
Perhaps the biggest barrier to a single pilot will be selling the idea to passengers. In 2019, Don Hairis, a professor at Coventry University, conducted a survey on the prospect of flying on an airliner with just one pilot. Just a minority of participants said they’d be willing to take that flight, and the general idea was that removing a pilot increased the possibility of accidents. In the study, Harris concluded that the single-crew airliner would be still probably 20 years away.
8. What is the potential trend in commercial aviation according to the text
A. It will make air travel eco-friendly.
B. It will switch to single-pilot operations.
C. It will tighten its flight control for safety concerns.
D. It will bring in many military aircraft to the industry.
9. What does Patrick Smith think is a quick way to realize airlines’ brave innovation
A. Raising the standards in admitting new pilots. B. Making pilots adaptable to different situations.
C. Using computers to automate the flight process. D. Gaining piloting support from ground operators.
10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The shortage of pilots. B. The need for new airlines.
C. The airlines’ brave innovation. D. The financial problem airlines face.
11. What can be inferred from Don Harris’ study
A. The prospect of single-crew airliners is bright.
B. It's urgent that airlines reduce airplane accidents.
C. Passengers are willing to try new types of airplanes.
D. Airlines have a long way to go before the innovation occurs.
D
The tomato leafminer moth originates from Peru and is common throughout South America. However, it has spread through Europe since 2007 and has become one of the largest pests in Mediterranean regions, threatening food supplies. Experts around the world are currently struggling with new ways to battle the moth, but it has developed resistance to pesticides (杀虫剂), leaving farmers helpless to stop the damage. Now a new study from the University of Portsmouth has shown that an answer may lie in the tropical tent-web spider.
Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs which easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. The tropical tent-web spider operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs to capture bugs. Dr. Lena Grinsted, the lead author of the study, said, “Spiders can provide large surface areas of capture webs capable of catching insects in the air. This could potentially lead to a reduction of reliance on chemical pesticides, resulting in less pollution in soils, waterways and food chains in the future.”
Crop damage is also caused by the larvae (幼虫), which directly attack the tomato fruit, making the crop ugly and thus unmarketable. Larvae live inside the leaf until they begin the process of turning into a moth, making them difficult to control. However, scientists expect that by targeting the adult moth population, it will reduce the number of eggs being laid. In addition, the spiders build the biggest webs during the summer months, which will benefit the tomato planting and growing season in May and June.
The researchers said the study will “open doors for the use of group-living spiders to control agricultural pests”, but warned that more work was needed to check the spiders did not change the ecology of regions. Dr. Grinsted added, “Future studies are now needed to investigate whether the spiders may negatively impact crop pollination (授粉) by also catching bees and other key pollinators.”
12. Why is it difficult to get rid of the moth according to Paragraph 1
A. It is large in size. B. It is drug-resistant.
C. It spreads too quickly. D. It threatens food supply.
13. What makes using the spiders to control pests possible
A. Their ability to weave huge webs. B. The reduction of pest-control cost.
C. Their importance in the food chain. D. The pollution of chemical pesticides.
14. How do scientists plan to deal with the larvae
A. By destroying the eggs. B. By reducing food supply.
C. By controlling the source. D. By stopping them hatching.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Moths: The Biggest Threat to Crops B. Moths: A Species Difficult to Control
C. Spiders: The Future of Modern Agriculture D. Spiders: An Eco-friendly Alternative to Drugs

Mr. Taylor checked again: water, food, bandage, medicines, a compass, and a map wrapped in plastic... Bingo! He put all that he prepared for the coming hiking into his backpack.
Mr. Taylor was fond of hiking this time in particular, for it was the first time for him to hike with his two sons, Harry and Joel. Joel liked reading books about explorers and Harry joined the hiking club in his school this term. It will be an unforgettable experience, definitely, he whispered to himself unconsciously a smile spreading over his face.
Harry and Joel, however, argued for the first three miles of their hiking trip. Harry accused Joel of wearing smelly old shoes. Joel blamed Harry for using all of the bug spray(喷雾防虫剂).Harry told Joel he smelled terrible. Joel called Harry a coward(懦夫).
“Will the two of you just quiet down and enjoy our hike together ” their father said. "You’re missing all of the beautiful scenery!"
It was true. Neither Joel nor Harry had taken notice of the bear their father had spied at the start of their trip. They hadn’t looked up at the eagle he pointed out overhead. Worst of all, they hadn’t paid any attention to the turns and twists along the way while they continued their argument.
“Joel threw a stick at me!” Harry screamed. "That’s not true!” Joel shouted back.
Mr. Taylor could no longer contain his anger. "And both of you need to stop arguing!" he erupted. As he turned to face them, his left foot caught on a root. He slipped backward and down muddy bank, falling into the river that ran alongside the path,
Harry and Joel raced to their father’s assistance. They helped him up out of the water, and then dragged his wet backpack up onto land.
Fortunately, their wet-through father found himself just slightly injured.

It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.

If you had boarded a passenger plane in 1950, you would have seen five people in the cockpit (驾驶舱): two pilots, a radio operator, a navigator and a flight engineer. Over the years, technical advances have gradually removed the need for the last three, leaving just two pilots. That has been the norm (标准) in commercial aviation for decades.
However, things could be simplified further — one of the two remaining pilots could soon go. Many military aircraft are already manned by a single pilot, and for commercial aviation this would mean stepping into a brave new world.
But how will airlines make this brave innovation come true One way is to greatly increase automation in the cockpit, devoting more tasks to computers. Another is to shift the same tasks from the cockpit to the ground. “The latter approach seems to be more workable, at least in the short term, because much of what is required already exists,” says Patrick Smith, an airline pilot flying Boeing 767 aircraft. “A trained ground operator could observe a number of flights at once and even fully control the plane remotely if needed.”
It’s true that single-pilot operations could help airlines save money, but there is another reason which makes them quicken their pace for this crucial breakthrough. Boeing predicts a need for 600,000 new pilots in the next two decades, but by some estimates, there will be a deficit (赤字) of at least 34,000 pilots globally by 2025. Reducing the number of pilots on some crews or aircraft could lessen the impact of this.
Perhaps the biggest barrier to a single pilot will be selling the idea to passengers. In 2019, Don Hairis, a professor at Coventry University, conducted a survey on the prospect of flying on an airliner with just one pilot. Just a minority of participants said they’d be willing to take that flight, and the general idea was that removing a pilot increased the possibility of accidents. In the study, Harris concluded that the single-crew airliner would be still probably 20 years away.
8. What is the potential trend in commercial aviation according to the text
A. It will make air travel eco-friendly.
B. It will switch to single-pilot operations.
C. It will tighten its flight control for safety concerns.
D. It will bring in many military aircraft to the industry.
9. What does Patrick Smith think is a quick way to realize airlines’ brave innovation
A. Raising the standards in admitting new pilots. B. Making pilots adaptable to different situations.
C. Using computers to automate the flight process. D. Gaining piloting support from ground operators.
10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The shortage of pilots. B. The need for new airlines.
C. The airlines’ brave innovation. D. The financial problem airlines face.
11. What can be inferred from Don Harris’ study
A. The prospect of single-crew airliners is bright.
B. It's urgent that airlines reduce airplane accidents.
C. Passengers are willing to try new types of airplanes.
D. Airlines have a long way to go before the innovation occurs.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, things could be simplified further — one of the two remaining pilots could soon go. Many military aircraft are already manned by a single pilot, and for commercial aviation this would mean stepping into a brave new world.(然而,事情可以进一步简化——剩下的两名飞行员中的一名可能很快就会离开。许多军用飞机已经由一名飞行员驾驶,对于商业航空来说,这将意味着步入一个美丽的新世界。)”可知,根据文章,商业航空的潜在趋势是它将转为单人驾驶。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“One way is to greatly increase automation in the cockpit, devoting more tasks to computers. Another is to shift the same tasks from the cockpit to the ground. ‘The latter approach seems to be more workable, at least in the short term, because much of what is required already exists,’ says Patrick Smith, an airline pilot flying Boeing 767 aircraft. (一种方法是大大提高驾驶舱的自动化程度,将更多的任务交给计算机。另一种方法是将同样的任务从驾驶舱转移到地面。‘后一种方法似乎更可行,至少在短期内是这样,因为所需的很多东西已经存在,’驾驶波音767飞机的飞行员Patrick Smith说。)”可知,Patrick Smith认为获得地面操作员的驾驶支持是实现航空公司大胆创新的快速方法。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“ Boeing predicts a need for 600,000 new pilots in the next two decades, but by some estimates, there will be a deficit(赤字)of at least 34,000 pilots globally by 2025. (波音公司预计,未来20年将需要60万名新飞行员,但据估计,到2025年,全球至少将出现3.4万名飞行员的缺口。)”说明飞行员短缺,从而推知划线词句“Reducing the number of pilots on some crews or aircraft could lessen the impact of this.(减少一些机组或飞机上的飞行员数量可以减轻这种影响。)”中划线词指的是“飞行员短缺”这一情况。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the study, Harris concluded that the single-crew airliner would be still probably 20 years away.(在这项研究中,Harris得出结论,单机组客机可能还需要20年的时间。)”可知,从Don Harris的研究中可以推断出在创新发生之前,航空公司还有很长的路要走。故选D项。

The tomato leafminer moth originates from Peru and is common throughout South America. However, it has spread through Europe since 2007 and has become one of the largest pests in Mediterranean regions, threatening food supplies. Experts around the world are currently struggling with new ways to battle the moth, but it has developed resistance to pesticides (杀虫剂), leaving farmers helpless to stop the damage. Now a new study from the University of Portsmouth has shown that an answer may lie in the tropical tent-web spider.
Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs which easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. The tropical tent-web spider operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs to capture bugs. Dr. Lena Grinsted, the lead author of the study, said, “Spiders can provide large surface areas of capture webs capable of catching insects in the air. This could potentially lead to a reduction of reliance on chemical pesticides, resulting in less pollution in soils, waterways and food chains in the future.”
Crop damage is also caused by the larvae (幼虫), which directly attack the tomato fruit, making the crop ugly and thus unmarketable. Larvae live inside the leaf until they begin the process of turning into a moth, making them difficult to control. However, scientists expect that by targeting the adult moth population, it will reduce the number of eggs being laid. In addition, the spiders build the biggest webs during the summer months, which will benefit the tomato planting and growing season in May and June.
The researchers said the study will “open doors for the use of group-living spiders to control agricultural pests”, but warned that more work was needed to check the spiders did not change the ecology of regions. Dr. Grinsted added, “Future studies are now needed to investigate whether the spiders may negatively impact crop pollination (授粉) by also catching bees and other key pollinators.”
12. Why is it difficult to get rid of the moth according to Paragraph 1
A. It is large in size. B. It is drug-resistant.
C. It spreads too quickly. D. It threatens food supply.
13. What makes using the spiders to control pests possible
A Their ability to weave huge webs. B. The reduction of pest-control cost.
C. Their importance in the food chain. D. The pollution of chemical pesticides.
14. How do scientists plan to deal with the larvae
A. By destroying the eggs. B. By reducing food supply.
C. By controlling the source. D. By stopping them hatching.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Moths: The Biggest Threat to Crops B. Moths: A Species Difficult to Control
C. Spiders: The Future of Modern Agriculture D. Spiders: An Eco-friendly Alternative to Drugs
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs which easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. The tropical tent-web spider operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs to capture bugs(科学家们进行了实验室测试,发现蜘蛛结合在一起形成网,很容易抓住飞行的昆虫,然后吃掉它们。热带帐篷蜘蛛以大群为单位活动,可以形成巨大的连接网来捕捉虫子)”可知,热带帐篷蜘蛛有能力形成巨大的连接网来捕捉虫子,这使得控制害虫有了可能性,故选A项。

【答案】Reviving the Passion for Sports with Students
Currently, many students attach little importance to doing sports due to heavy study schedules and lack of motivation for exercise.
In my view, taking regular exercise is of great significance. To begin with, it contributes to building up a strong and healthy body, which can reduce the risk of falling ill and improve our academic performance as well. Besides, working out regularly not only strengthens our willpower but also lightens our moods. Therefore, it is advisable to be engaged in a variety of activities we have passion for, ranging from jogging to playing basketball.
In conclusion, reviving passion for sports is essential for our present and future development. I do hope that everyone can be healthy both in body and in mind.

第二节 读后续写(25分)
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。
Mr. Taylor checked again: water, food, bandage, medicines, a compass, and a map wrapped in plastic... Bingo! He put all that he prepared for the coming hiking into his backpack.
Mr. Taylor was fond of hiking, this time in particular, for it was the first time for him to hike with his two sons, Harry and Joel. Joel liked reading books about explorers and Harry joined the hiking club in his school this term. It will be an unforgettable experience, definitely, he whispered to himself unconsciously a smile spreading over his face.
Harry and Joel however, argued for the first three miles of their hiking trip. Harry accused Joel of wearing smelly old shoes. Joel blamed Harry for using all of the bug spray(喷雾防虫剂).Harry told Joel he smelled terrible. Joel called Harry a coward(懦夫).
“Will the two of you just quiet down and enjoy our hike together ” their father said. "You’re missing all of the beautiful scenery!"
It was true. Neither Joel nor Harry had taken notice of the bear their father had spied at the start of their trip. They hadn’t looked up at the eagle he pointed out overhead. Worst of all, they hadn’t paid any attention to the turns and twists along the way while they continued their argument.
“Joel threw a stick at me!” Harry screamed. "That’s not true!” Joel shouted back.
Mr. Taylor could no longer contain his anger. "And both of you need to stop arguing!" he erupted. As he turned to face them, his left foot caught on a root. He slipped backward and down muddy bank, falling into the river that ran alongside the path,
Harry and Joel raced to their father’s assistance. They helped him up out of the water, and then dragged his wet backpack up onto land.
Fortunately, their wet-through father found himself just slightly injured.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
But his glasses came off when he fell in the water.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Just calm down." Mr. Taylor shouted "Without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way. "
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1
But his glasses came off when he fell in the water. Harry and Joel waded back into the river. Twigs and leaves swirled around their ankles before floating away on the current. No glasses! Hairy thought they might have been swept downstream, without which Mr. Taylor couldn’t see. Everything was a blur to him now. How could they get home “Oh great! Now we’re lost,” groaned Joel,"and it might be days before someone finds us.” "No thanks to you.” Harry blamed.
Para 2
"Just calm down." Mr. Taylor shouted, "Without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way." Mr. Taylor fumbled in his backpack and pulled the map and the compass out. Luckily, Joel learned how to read a map from his books, and Harry knew how to use a compass from his hiking club. They stopped arguing, looked down at the map, so that they searched for the river and used the compass to find the direction. In relief, Mr. Taylor beamed proudly, "You two will save the day. You’re pretty good hiking partners!”
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开。主要讲的是Taylor先生第一次和两个儿子Harry和Joel一起徒步旅行。然而,Harry和Joel为徒步旅行的前三英里而争吵。结果后来惹得Taylor先生生气了,他的左脚被树根缠住了,在泥泞的河岸上滑来滑去,掉进了路旁的河里。两个儿子前去帮助父亲,还好浑身湿透的父亲发现自己只是受了点轻伤。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“但他掉进水里的时候眼镜掉了。”可知,第一段可描写两个孩子一起帮助Taylor先生在水里找眼镜,在找寻无结果的情况下,两个孩子又相互埋怨。
②由第二段首句内容““冷静点。”Taylor先生喊道,“没有我的眼镜,我们需要一起找到出路””可知,第二段可描写Taylor先生在背包里找到了地图和指南针,两个孩子利用他们之前学过的使用知识,利用地图和指南针找到了出路。
2.续写线索:
掉进水里——寻找眼镜——埋怨——让孩子们冷静——找到指南针和地图——使用地图和指南针——找到出路——赞扬
