Passwords that show no imagination or distinctiveness(独特)are easy prey for information pirates (盗窈者),a new US study says. A statistica analysis of 28,000 passwords recently stolen from a popular US website and posted on the Internet reveals that people often do the easy thing. It found that 16 percent took a first nameas a password,often their own or one of their children. according to the study published by Information Week.Another 14 percent relied on the casicst keyboard combinations to remember such as "1234"or"12345678".For those using English keyboards,"OWERTY” was popular.Likewise"AZERTY"scored with people with European keyboards. Five percent of the stolen passwords were names of tlevision shows or stars popular with young people like"Hannah"inspired by singer Hannah Montana."Pokemon""Matrix",and "Tronman”were others. The word "password",or easy to guess variations(变化)like"password1"accounted for(占)four percent. Three percent of the passwords expressed attitudes like"I don't care" "Whatever"."Yes"or“No". There were sentimental (情感的) choices——"Iloveyou"-and their opposite——"lhateyou". Robert Giraham, of the company Erata Security,which did the aalysis and published the conelusions. advises that to better protect against eyber intrusions:“Choose a password that is longer than eight characters with one capital (大写的) letter and one symbol."1.

Beijing Opera Beijing Opera，China's national opera，originated in the late 18th century and is a mixture of music，dance，art and acrobatics.It is the most influential and representative of all operas in China. Based upon traditional Anhui Opera，it has adopted its repertoire，music and performing techniques from Kun Opera （a local opera from Jiangsu Province） and Qinqiang Opera （from Shaanxi Province） as well as traditional folk tunes in its development，eventually forming its own highly stylised music and performing techniques. Beijing Opera can be divided into "civil" pieces，which are characterised by singing，and "martial" ones，which feature acrobatics and stunts.Some operas are combinations of both. Its repertoire includes historical plays，comedies，tragedies and farces.Many historical events are adapted for Beijing Opera plays，which in the past were an important primer on history and ethical principles for poorly-educated people. There are four roles in general：the male，the female，the"painted face"，and the clown，which are further classified by age and profession.Sheng （male roles） can be divided into three categories：the old，the young and the martial arts expert.Dan（female roles） includes qingyi（a quiet and gentle lady），huadan （a lively woman），wudan（a woman with martial arts skills），daomadan（a woman skilled in fighting with weapons or on a horse） and laodan（an old woman）.Jing（painted face roles） is always played by men with brightly coloured faces.Chou（clown roles） is marked by a dab of white on the ridge of the nose.This character is sometimes positive，kind-hearted and humourous，but sometimes negative，cunning or silly.Each role has its fixed singing and acting styles. Like the acting and singing，the make-up is stylised，inspired by the masks worn by dancers in Tang，Song and Yuan Dynasty operas.The make-up highlights and exaggerates the principal features of the characters. For the painted face role，the colour of their made-up faces can be an indication of their characters or personalities.Red indicates uprightness and loyalty，white craftiness and cunning.Blue indicates a vigorous，courageous and enterprising nature while yellow means an intelligent character，but a less extroverted one.Black shows a sound and honest character while green is often the symbol of a brave and irritable one. The costumes are based on those of the Ming Dynasty，no matter when the story is set.The props can include a cloth wall，tents，whips，paddles and weapons.The props are realistic，but not so elaborate that they detract from the performance.Exaggeration and symbolism are characteristics of the opera.Holding a whip is enough to indicate that an actor is galloping on a horse.A few soldiers on the stage may represent a whole army.An actor's circling the stage suggests a long journey. Often there is just a table and a few chairs on the stage.The description of many situations depends on the performance of the actors and actresses.Opening a door，walking at night，rowing a boat，eating，drinking and the like are all demonstrated by the stylised movements of the actors and actresses.Performers also use their eyes and facial expressions to help convey the specific meaning. In the past 200 years，numerous schools and celebrated performers have emerged.As a result of the hard work of hundreds of artists over the past two centuries，Beijing Opera has become a refined art form and now represents an important part of Chinese culture.Read the passage and complete the following ch art with the information you have gained.Beijing Opera Origin Beijing Opera originated in（1） ____ and is a mixture of（2） ____ .Based on（3） ____ Opera，it has adopted its repertoire，（4） ____ and（5） ____ from（6） ____ Opera and （7） ____ Opera as well as traditional folk tunes.

Part ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Though often viewed as a problem for western states, the growing frequency of wildfires is a national concern because of its impact on federal tax dollars, says Professor Max Moritz, a specialist in fire ecology and management.In 2015, the US Forest Service for the first time spent more than half of its 5.5 billion annual budget fighting fires—nearly double the percentage it spent on such efforts 20 years ago. In effect, fewer federal funds today are going towards the agency´ s other work—such as forest conservation, watershed and cultural resources management, and infrastructure upkeep—that affect the lives of all Americans.Another nationwide concern is whether public funds from other agencies are going into construction in fire prone districts. As Moritz puts it, how often are federal dollars building homes that are likely to be lost to a wildfire?" It´ s already a huge problem from a public expenditure perspective for the whole country," he says. We need to take a magnifying glass to that. Like, "Wait a minute, is this OK?" "Do we want instead to redirect those funds to concentrate on lower-hazard parts of the landscape?"Such a view would require a corresponding shift in the way US society today views fire, researchers say.For one thing, conversations about wildfires need to be more inclusive. Over the past decade, the focus has been on climate change—how the warming of the Earth from greenhouse gases is leading to conditions that worsen fires.While climate is a key element, Moritz says, it shouldn´ t come at the expense of the rest of the equation."The human systems and the landscapes we live on are linked, and the interactions go both ways," he says. Failing to recognize that, he notes, leads to "an overly simplified view of what the solutions might be. Our perception of the problem and of what the solution is becomes very limited".At the same time, people continue to treat fire as an event that needs to be wholly controlled and unleashed only out of necessity, says Professor Balch at the University of Colorado. But acknowledging fire´ s inevitable presence in human life is an attitude crucial to developing the laws, policies, and practices that make it as safe as possible, she says."We´ ve disconnected ourselves from living with fire," Balch says. "It is really important to understand and try and tease out what is the human connection with fire today.

Make your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)The decline in American manufacturing is a common refrain, particularly from Donald Trump. " We don´ t make anything anymore," he told Fox News, while defending his own made-in-Mexico clothing line.Without question, manufacturing has taken a significant hit during recent decades, and further trade deals raise questions about whether new shocks could hit manufacturing.But there is also a different way to look at the data.Across the country, factory owners are now grappling with a new challenge: instead of having too many workers, they may end up with too few. Despite trade competition and outsourcing, American manufacturing still needs to replace tens of thousands of retiring boomers every year. Millennials may not be that interested in taking their place, other industries are recruiting them with similar or better pay.For factory owners, it all adds up to stiff competition for workers—and upward pressure on wages. "They´ re harder to find and they have job offers," says Jay Dunwell, president of Wolverine Coil Spring, a family-owned firm, " They may be coming[into the workforce], but they´ ve been plucked by other industries that are also doing as well as manufacturing," Mr. Dunwell has begun bringing high school juniors to the factory so they can get exposed to its culture.But it doesn´ t __11__ follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with unease. Such visions are based on the __12__ of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment. In the __13__ of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could __14__ strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure. Today, the __15__ of work may be a bit overblown. "Many jobs are boring, degrading, unhealthy, and a waste of human potential, " says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland in Galway.These days, because leisure time is relatively __16__ for most workers, people use their free time to counterbalance the intellectual and emotional __17__ of their jobs. "When I come home from a hard day´ s work, I often feel __18__ ," Danaher says, adding, "In a world in which I don ´ t have to work, I might feel rather different"—perhaps different enough to throw himself __19__ a hobby or a passion project with the intensity usually reserved for __20__ matters.At RoMan Manufacturing, a maker of electrical transformers and welding equipment that his father cofounded in 1980, Robert Roth keeps a close eye on the age of his nearly 200 workers, five are retiring this year. Mr. Roth has three community-college students enrolled in a work-placement program, with a starting wage of 13 an hour that rises to 17 after two years.At a worktable inside the transformer plant, young Jason Stenquist looks flustered by the copper coils he´ s trying to assemble and the arrival of two visitors. It´ s his first week on the job. Asked about his choice of career, he says at high school he considered medical school before switching to electrical engineering. "I love working with tools. I love creating," he says.But to win over these young workers, manufacturers have to clear another major hurdle: parents, who lived through the worst US economic downturn since the Great Depression, telling them to avoid the factory. Millennial "remember their father and mother both were laid off. They blame it on the manufacturing recession," says Birgit Klohs, chief executive of The Right Place, a business development agency for western Michigan.These concerns aren´ t misplaced; Employment in manufacturing has fallen from 17 million in 1970 to 12 million in 2015. When the recovery began, worker shortages first appeared in the high-skilled trades. Now shortages are appearing at the mid-skill levels." The gap is between the jobs that take no skills and those that require a lot of skill," says Rob Spohr, a business professor at Montcalm Community College. "There´ re enough people to fill the jobs at McDonalds and other places where you don´ t need to have much skill. It´ s that gap in between, and that´ s where the problem is. "Julie Parks of Grand Rapids Community points to another key to luring Millennials into manufacturing: a work/life balance. While their parents were content to work long hours, young people value flexibility. "Overtime is not attractive to this generation. They really want to live their lives," she says.[A]says that he switched to electrical engineering because he loves working with tools.[B]points out that there are enough people to fill the jobs that don´ t need much skill.[C]points out that the US doesn´t manufacture anything anymore.[D]believes that it is important to keep a close eye on the age of his workers.[E]says that for factory owners, workers are harder to find because of stiff competition.[F]points out that a work/life balance can attract young people into manufacturing.[G]says that the manufacturing recession is to blame for the lay—off the young people´ s parents.第41题Jay Dunwell ______第42题Jason Stenquist ______第43题Birgit Klohs   ______第44题Rob Spohr ______第45题Julie Parks ______上一题 下一题(1/1)Section II Reading Comprehension Part C第46题My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realised that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream—I knew that no one could imagine me in the fashion industry at all! So I decided to look for some fashion-related courses that included writing.

Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand (缕) of hair, a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims. The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people’s hair. “You’re what you eat and drink, and that’s recorded in your hair,” said Thure Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah. While U.S. diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as raid clouds move. Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素). The heaviest rain falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah. Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months. Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a mop of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops. They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of raid systems. “It’s not good for pinpointing (精确定位),” Cerling said. “It’s good for eliminating many possibilities.” Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake. The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair. When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months. She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming. “It’s still a substantial area,” Park said. “But it narrows it way down for me.” 1 What is the scientists’ new discovery? A One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink. B A person’s hair may reveal where they have lived. C Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects. D The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person. 2 What does the author mean by “You’re what you eat and drink” (Line 1, Para.3)? A Food and drink affect one’s personality development. B Food and drink preferences vary with individuals. C Food and drink leave traces in one’s body tissues. D Food and drink are indispensable to one’s existence. 3 What is said about the rainfall in America’s West? A There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah. B The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland. C Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas. D It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward. 4 What did Cerling’s team produce in their research? A A map showing the regional differences of tap water. B A collection of hair samples from various barber shops. C A method to measure the amount of water in human hair. D A chart illustrating the movement of the rain system. 5 What is the practical value of Cerling’s research? A It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.
