23、   Would you give your Social Security Number to the clerk at the grocery store? Of course not, right? Yet, if you’re like most people, you wouldn’t hesitate to give out a different, but equally important number to the same person.

Experts now say that your cellphone number may be more pivotal than any other personal information in the eyes of spammers (垃圾邮件发送者) and identity thieves. In other words, instead of handing it out, you should guard that cellphone number with your life.

Today, your cellphone number will likely be with you for a very long time. That means if spammers get your cellphone number, it will be much harder to get rid of them. It also means that over the years, your cellphone number will be linked to a lot of personal information—from contact lists to bank card numbers, all information that hackers (黑客) would love to get their hands on.

A few years ago, German security researcher Karsten Nohl showed in an experiment what he could obtain using only a person’s cellphone number. California Congressman Ted Lieu was given a new cellphone for a day and Nohl was given that cellphone number. Using just that number, Nohl was able to find Lieu’s location and movements throughout Los Angeles, read his emails and text messages, and record phone calls between Lieu and his staff. And Nohl did all of this from his office in Berlin using just a cellphone number.

Still think it’s a good idea to post your number on a noticeboard?

It’s safe to assume that Nohl is an expert when it comes to hacking, but even the ordinary thief can use your cellphone number to cause harm to you. When you sign up for an account online, you usually provide your email address and a password. But if you forget that password, many of these companies will send you a password retrieval code (检码) via your cellphone. Let’s say you post something for sale online and you include your name, email, and cellphone number. You’ve now given a potential thief everything he needs to hack into any of your online accounts. Therefore, it just makes sense to protect yourself by guarding that number as closely as you would guard any other personal information.

【1】What does the underlined word “pivotal” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A.Accessible. B.Familiar.

C.Vital. D.Manageable.

【2】What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A.Why people need to take care of their cellphone numbers.

B.Why people seldom change their cellphone numbers.

C.How to protect our personal information.

D.How to get rid of spammers.

【3】What did Karsten Nohl’s experiment intend to prove?

A.Nohl is a real expert in hacking.

B.It’s necessary to fight against hackers.

C.Lieu’s new cellphone has powerful functions.

D.Hacking information via cellphone numbers is not hard.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.It’s a good idea to sell something online.

B.It’s risky to post your cellphone numbers online.

C.It’s necessary to register several accounts online.

D.It’s common for people to forget their passwords.

24、   The following sad but true tale concerns my great-uncle, a wonderful, jolly, beloved man who was over six feet four and probably weighed close to three hundred pounds. He was also well-educated and in the early 1900s became a full-time Baptist minister. A kindly, gentle man despite his size, Uncle Alden Bentley’s only real fault seemed to be that he was terribly clumsy. As a young minister, he was paying a pastoral call one day on a woman in Dillon, South Carolina, when he accidentally sat on her Chihuahua, Twinkle, and killed it. As the lady searched for and called for her dog throughout the house, Uncle Alden felt underneath his hip and, realizing what he had done, panicked and slipped the dead dog into his coat pocket. Although he was devastated, he could not bring himself to tell the woman what had happened.

Five years later, he returned to the same home for an overnight visit and resolved to unburden himself by finally telling the woman exactly what had happened to Twinkie. She had just had the guest room prepared and had hung brand-new curtains. To make Uncle feel welcome, she had placed on the bedside table a large pitcher of ice water and a glass, as well as a pen and a bottle of ink, so he could work on his sermon before retiring.

Uncle liked to sleep with the window open and got up in the night to open it. As he did, he knocked over what he assumed to be a full glass of water. Then, groping along the walls in an unsuccessful search for the light switch, he retraced his steps several times before raising the window and settling back on the bed for the night. When he opened his eyes the next morning, he was horrified. The fresh wallpaper on two walls was covered with great black stains. The crisp white curtains were thoroughly spoiled with the prints of Uncle's huge paws. It had not been the water glass he'd overturned during the night-it had been the ink bottle.

In a shaken state of mind and knowing he must face the hostess, Uncle dressed hurriedly and started down the stairs outside the guest room. As he approached the landing, his foot slipped.

"Are you hurt?" His hostess cried as she rushed to Uncle's side.

"No," said Uncle as he rose to his feet, "but I have devastated your home." With that he quickly walked out the front door and, at the end of the walk, turned and said to his hostess with deep respect, "Twinkie had a Christian burial."

He then retired from the ministry and became a teacher of philosophy for many years at a private preparatory school in Massachusetts.

【1】What was the job of Uncle Alden when he was visiting the lady’s home?

A.A government official. B.A teacher.

C.A house agent. D.A churchman.

【2】What does the underlined word “retiring”mean in the second paragraph?

A.giving up work B.pulling back

C.going away D.going to bed

【3】Which of the following statements about Uncle Alden is TRUE?

A.He suffered from a guilty conscience after the first visit to the lady’s home.

B.His rudeness led to a mess of the guest room during the second visit to the lady’s home.

C.He kept the death of Twinkie as a secret from the hostess all through the two visits.

D.His visits to the lady’s home always ended with rage and fury.

【4】What kind of tone is adapted by the writer in this short story?

A.Sympathetic B.Critical

C.Humorous D.Indifferent
