26、   When it comes to modern communication, security is a big concern. It seems like we’re forever hearing about hackers leaking emails, passwords and other important personal information.

But thanks to a breakthrough by Chinese scientists, who won the 2018 Newcomb Cleveland Prize in February, we may soon never have to worry about our data again. With the cutting-edge technology, a revolutionary satellite called Micius makes the information sent and received safer than ever.

So what exactly makes the information sent to and from Micius so secure？Micius is the first satellite of its kind to use quantum key distribution（量子密匙分发）, which uses particles（粒子）that transmit（传输）light to deliver information from one point to another. Currently, it can communicate with two base stations, both of which are located high up in the mountains in two different areas of Tibet, around 1, 200kilometers apart. Data is sent between the satellite and one of the base stations in the form of a ray of light.

This makes it almost impossible for data sent and received using quantum satellite technology to be stolen, as the connection will be broken if someone tries to hack it. “Any eavesdropper（偷听者）on the quantum channel attempting to gain information can be found by the communicating users, "the scientists wrote in the paper.

However, the technology does have a few limitations. For example, the process only works at night, as the information isn’t able to pass through sunlight. And there’s currently only a 10-minute window each day during which Micius can communicate with each of the base stations, according to Xinhua. This is because the satellite and base station need to be close enough to each other for the information to successfully make it to and from outer space.

Despite these small issues, the scientific community across the world has reacted positively to China’s achievements in this groundbreaking project. "This Chinese experiment is a quite remarkable technological achievement, "Artur Ekert, a professor of quantum physics at the University of Oxford, told BBC News.

And Karl Ziemelis, an editor for Nature, told Xinhua, "It’s a witness to China’s investments（投资）and significant efforts in the physical sciences that this group has been able to push research in practical quantum communication technologies to such an astronomical height. ”

【1】Why it is safe to use quantum key distribution to transfer information？

A. The connection will fail if it is hacked.

B. It makes the base stations close enough.

C. It transfers data too fast for it to be stolen.

D. The process often takes place at night.

【2】According to the text, what’s the attitude of the scientific community towards the satellite Micius？

A. It remains unclear whether it will be beneficial or not.

B. It is really an impressive technological breakthrough.

C. It will promote the investment in quantum-related technologies.

D. It doesn’t deserve a lot of attention given its limitations.

【3】What is the main idea of the text？

A. The latest security problems of modern communication.

B. Micius’ effect on the development of modern technology.

C. The wide applications of quantum key distribution in data transition.

D. How Micius works to ensure secure communication and its limitations.

27、   Teens are now less likely to do part time jobs,drink alcohol or go out without their parents than their counterpart 10 or 20 years ago.This generation of teens is delaying the responsibilities and pleasures of adulthood.Some people think that today's teens are more virtuous(品行端正的） and responsible.Others have suggested that today's teens aren't working because they are simply lazy.

To figure out what's really going on,we should look at these trends with"life history theory" taken into consideration.A"fast life method"was the more common parenting approach in the mid-20th century,when fewer labor-saving devices were available and the average woman had four children.The parents needed to focus on day to day survival.As a result,kids needed to care for themselves sooner.A"slow life method"on the other hand is more common in times and places where families have fewer children and spend more time on each child's growth and development.When the average family has two children,preparing for college can begin as early as primary schools.The two methods are adaptations to a particular cultural background,so each isn't naturally"good"or"bad".

Delaying exposure to alcohol,then,could make young adults less prepared to deal with drinking in college.One study found teens who rapidly increased there binge-drinking(酗酒） were more at risk of alcohol dependence than those who learned to drink over a longer period of time.The same might be true of teens who don't work,drive or go out much in high school. College administrators describe students who can't do anything without calling their parents. Employers worry that more young employees lack the ability to work independently.

However,the"slow-life method"is also likely beneficial as teens are spending more time developing socially and emotionally before they drive,drink alcohol and work for pay.The key is to make sure that teens eventually get the opportunity to develop the skills they will need as adults: independence,along with social and decision making skills.For parents,this might mean pushing their teenagers out of the house more.

【1】According to the text,teens in the past were more____.

A.reliable B.outgoing

C.intelligent D.independent

【2】What plays a vital role in the trend of teens growing up more slowly?

A.Social standard

B.Cultural changes

C.Educational development.

D.Methods of education

【3】What does the author advise parents to do?

A.Spend less time in accompanying their children.

B..Force their children to leave home at an early age.

C.Encourage their children to take part in social activities.

D.Help their children to get to adulthood as soon as possible.

【4】Which of the following can be the best tile for the text?

A.How teens develop skills they need in future

B.Teens take no responsibility for what they do

C.Why today's teens aren't in any hurry to grow up

D.Nowadays teens can't make decisions by themselves

28、   As we approach Father’s Day, Let’s be real about it.

Everyone needs a father to be born, but not everyone can have a father while growing up.

Some fathers are too busy; others get divorced, disappear or die.

But almost everyone should have a father image—someone who lives up to what a father should be.

A father image is a role model—someone you want to be like. He fills you with the memories that never leaves you when you grow up.

My father image was Harold, who was in his twenties when I was10 years old. I was a foster child (收养的孩子) and lived in his home with his mother.

He had dark, curly hair and always wore a beautiful suit, a shirt and a tie. What made him my role model was that he knew my darkest secrets—even stuff my real father didn't know—and he told me things no other person would tell a little boy.

Harold dressed the store windows at Gertz Department Store in Jamaiva, N. Y., and every time I went to visit him he gave me a quarter.

I wanted to be exactly like him. I even walked like him. He always called me “Kiddo”, a name I call people I like to this day.

My friends had role models like Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehring, Joe Lewis and other sports figures. I chose Harold, because he was a real person and he chose to be my mentor (指导者).

Harold, as you may have guessed, is now in Heaven ( Where else would he be?), but I think about him a lot. And whenever I have a problem, I ask myself, “What would Harold do?”

That is the reason a father role model is so important to a boy or a girl, It's a learning experience for everyone.

I guess the reason why I am writing all this is that I think there should be a Father's Day when everyone honors the person who has a lifelong impact(影响) on him. I believe every child needs just one to change his life－Happy Father's Day

【1】In the author's opinion, what should the image of a father be except______?

A.a father should be patient B.a father should tell me what is right and what is wrong

C.a father should be like sports figures D.a father should have a lifelong influence on his kid

【2】Joe DiMaggio is________?

A.his friend’s father B.a sports star C.the author’s father D.a mentor

【3】How is Harold now?

A.He is working in a department store. B.He is in Heaven now.

C.He is dead now. D.The author doesn't know where is he now.

【4】Which is not the author’s attitude towards Harold?

A.Love. B.Respect. C.Miss. D.Hate.

29、Trekking (徒步旅行) 500 miles across Spain is no easy task for anyone, but for the wheelchair user Justin Skeesuck, achieving the dream seemed nearly impossible. However, Skeesuck’s lifelong best friend, Patrick Gray, simply didn’t accept that idea. He said, “We’ve done everything together so far. Why don’t we have one more adventure?”

That’s exactly what he did — pushing Skeesuck across northern Spain’s Camino de Santiago. Though Skeesuck has a muscle disease similar to ALS (肌萎缩侧索硬化) and high blood pressure, he first got the idea to go on the journey after he watched a travel show about the trail. He said, “I knew immediately since my heart was just telling me, ‘You need to do this.’”

With Gray on board and the blessings of their family, the two best friends from Idaho set off to make Skeesuck’s dream of going for the journey a reality. However, neither Gray nor Skeesuck realized how physically and emotionally arduous the trip would be. Not only did they have a strict time limit — about six weeks to get from start to finish, but they also faced extremely difficult obstacles (障碍). With Gray pushing Skeesuck in a three-wheel wheelchair, the pair crossed mountains, rivers and a desert. “I’ve never been that physically exhausted in my entire life,” Gray said. The pair came across countless kind people during their trip who were eager to help them finish their journey, but they refused their help with gentle words. 34 days later, the two best friends finished their journey, realizing a dream that helped them learn about themselves and others. “The adventure has taught me for sure that when you do something with faith, and never give up, amazing things can really happen,” Skeesuck said.

Gray recorded their incredible trip in a book — “I’ll Push You: A Journey of 500 Miles, Two Best Friends and One Wheelchair”, which would be published soon. Skeesuck and Gray are also working on a children’s book that will tell the story of their adventure. They hope that the book will give kids strength when they deal with difficulties.
