24、   Since May 12, a computer virus named WannaCry has infected (感染) more than 300,000computers in over 150 countries, according to Reuters.

Wannacry is spread by using a weakness in Microsoft's Windows operating system. Once the virus gets into the computer, it locks all the papers and asks the user for money to unlock them. At first, it asks for $300, but if the user doesn't send the money in 72 hours, the price doubled. Papers are locked forever if the user doesn't pay in seven days.

The virus has brought bad results. For example, in the UK, the virus left the country’sNational Health Service in a mess. Some hospitals had to cancel patient appointments(预约), reported The Telegraph. In China, the virus has hit thousands of computers, according to Qihoo360. One of the most hard-hit groups in China were university users. Many students' graduation papers were locked. They felt nervous and frightened. Also many gas stations were seriously hit, and the payment system didn’t work.

WanaCry is the latest example of the cyber security(网络安全) problem. Matthew Hickey, who set up the security company Hacker House, said, "The attack is not surprising. It shows that many organizations do not use updates(更新) fast enough. According to a survey, nearly half of the people said, “We are not satisfied with the way software updates work.”

As China Daily wrote, “We can’t completely protect our computers against these kinds of viruses, as this cat and mouse game will continue forever. The best choice for most users is to take care online and always install(安装)software updates.”

【1】What is WannaCry?

A.A video game. B.A computer software. C.A computer virus. D.A TV programme.

【2】If your papers are locked by Wannacry, how much do you need to pay if you don’t send the money in 72 hours?

A.$150. B.$300. C.$600. D.$900.

【3】According to the passage, the writer shows the bad results by ________.

A.giving reasons B.giving examples C.comparing computers D.comparing numbers

【4】From the last two paragraphs, we can know that________.

A.Matthew Hickey thinks the attack on computers is very surprising

B.all the people are pleased with the way software updates work

C.the computers can be completely protected against these viruses

D.we should take care online and update software fast enough

25、   Have you ever gone to a fast-food restaurant to eat and gotten a kid's meal that came with a toy? Sometimes those meals have different toys for boys and girls —maybe a truck for the boys and a toy bear for the girls. Who decides that boys like to play with trucks and girls like to play with stuffed animals? I know many boys who like stuffed animals and lots of girls who play with trucks. When we decide what someone will like or how they will act just because they are boys or girls, we are stereotyping（形成模式化观念）.

A stereotype is a group that we put people into. Our human brains do this all the time; it's one of the ways that our brain has learned to deal with the world. We see someone and put that person into a group—for example, the old or the young, a boy or a girl. Is that a bad thing? No, it's not.

One advantage of a stereotype is that it enables us to deal with situations rapidly because we may have had a similar experience before. The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they cut down the amount of processing（i.e. thinking）we have to do when we meet a new person.

Although grouping itself isn't bad, it can be harmful sometimes. It makes us ignore differences between each single person, that is, we usually think all the people in one group are the same but that might not be true.

When we stereotype, we think of a group and give everyone in that group certain characteristics. For example, the fast food restaurant believed that all boys like to play with vehicles and all girls prefer toy animals. They did that based only on whether they were boys or girls.

Stereotypes are problems when beliefs that people have about groups are not necessarily true. Have you ever heard anyone say that "Men are better drivers than women"? Statements like this take a group of people and give all of them the same behaviors or characteristics. I know men who are good drivers, and I know women who are good drivers. It's not fair to judge all people in a group by a stereotype. We need to remember that everyone in the group is an individual who has different abilities, interests, strengths and behaviors.

【1】The example of different toys for boys and girls is mentioned to show that_________.

A.boys and girls prefer different toys

B.boys and girls are treated unfairly

C.people sometimes mix children's likes

D.people have fixed ideas on things

【2】Which of the following stereotypes is useful?

A.Making friends by his appearance.

B.Boys do better in science than girls.

C.Youth easily do unreasonable things.

D.Red signs on the road warn us of danger.

【3】The underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________.

A.fail to notice B.fail to trust C.fail to search D.fail to face

【4】What does the writer want to tell us about stereotyping?

A.Stereotyping is like a coin which has two sides.

B.It helps our brain learn to deal with similar situations.

C.Judging people by stereotyping them makes things hard.

D.Trying to learn about and form some kinds of them stereotypes.

26、In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important thing of the year except graduation or commencement(颁授学位典礼) day. Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks before the day.

  Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate the schoool. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the students. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after they leave school.

  During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.

  Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.

  Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the team loses, the students still enjoy Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.

27、I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives( 观点 ) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

With this belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read books. Reading reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

【1】What can be inferred about the author as a child?

A. He never watched TV.

B. He found reading unbelievable.

C. He considered reading part of his life.

D. He read what he had to.

【2】The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “________”.

A. a belief   B. a way of writing   C. a sound quality   D. a world to write about

【3】What effect does reading have on the author?

A. It opens up a wider world for him.

B. It helps him to realize his dream.

C. It makes his college life more interesting.

D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. How do I read?   B. What do I read?   C. Why do I read?   D. When do I read?

28、

A travel journal（日记）is one of the best ways to keep a long journey in memory. While you are writing your travel journal, many things don’t seem s【1】, but they often turn out to be what make the trip so memorable.

It is important to have the h【2】 of writing your travel journal every day. When you are on a busy journey, you probably won’t remember to write. You may promise that you will write l【3】, but that almost never happens. Take a few minutes every day and put down your memories. It doesn’t have to be long.

Use your “down time” p【4】. There is a surprising amount of sitting around while traveling. You can always put down a few lines in your travel journal when you are on trains, waiting for planes, or waiting in line.

In your heading, write down the day, where you are, who you are with, maybe even the weather and what you eat. These are the details that people are most likely to f【5】. After many years when you read your journal, you will know exactly what you were doing on that day.

Focus on writing about how you feel. Listing facts and figures is fine, but that isn’t why you traveled. A long journey is a time for self-reflection（自我反思）. Memories of these feelings fade（褪去） quickly with time, so it is important to write about those experiences when the memories are still f【6】.

Keep ticket stubs（票根）. Whenever you use a ticket for a train or a museum or a ride, stick the stubs to your journal. They are also a good r【7】 of your travel experiences. One day you can look at the ticket stubs and see exactly what you were doing on a certain day and how much it cost.
