26、The time a person spends on different smartphone apps is enough to identify them from a larger group in more than one in three cases, say researchers.

Researchers analyzed smartphone data from 780 people. They fed 4,680 days of app usage data into statistical models. Each of these days was paired with one of the 780 users so that the models learned people’s daily app use patterns.

The researchers then tested whether models could identify an individual when provided with only a single day of smartphone activity that was anonymous (匿名的). The models, which were trained on only six days of app usage data per person, could identify the correct person from a day of anonymous data one third of the time.

That might not sound like much, but when the models predict who the data belonged to, it could also provide a list of the most to the least likely candidates. It was possible to view the top 10 most likely individuals that a specific day of data belonged to. Around 75% of the time, the correct user would be among the top 10 most likely candidates.

In practical terms, a law enforcement (执法机构) investigation seeking to identify a criminal’s new phone with these models could reduce a candidate pool of approximately 1,000 phones to 10 phones, with a 25% risk of missing them.

Consequently, the researchers warn that software given access to a smartphone’s standard activity logging could make a reasonable prediction about a user’s identity even when they were logged-out of their account. An identification is possible without monitoring conversations or behaviors within apps themselves.

Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that app usage data alone, which is often collected by a smartphone automatically, can potentially reveal a person’s identity. While providing new opportunities for law enforcement, it also poses risks to privacy if this type of data is misused.

【1】What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To explain a phenomenon.

B．To confirm an assumption.

C．To show a research process.

D．To present a research finding.

【2】How did the researchers reach their conclusion?

A．By recording app use time.

B．By studying app usage data.

C．By comparing different apps.

D．By changing app use patterns.

【3】What is the function of the statistical models?

A．Locating criminals.

B．Tracking usage of apps.

C．Identifying phone users.

D．Predicting trends of apps.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards app usage data?

A．Cautious.

B．Favorable.

C．Doubtful.

D．Uninterested.

27、America's Most Beautiful Places to Visit in Spring

Washington, D.C.

Every spring, Washington, D.C.is blanketed in pink with cherry blossoms. To celebrate the event, come to the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which takes place from the last week in March to the second week in April. You can view the flowers or take part in festival events.

28、   A couple of weeks ago, my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression, “Nothing is ever easy.” The following day, as I tried to complete my work, I happened to notice a big bee on the skylight. It was particularly high up, but I thought removing it would take no more than 5 minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the living room was a mess and that I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I didn’t expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.

It is not only time that we tend to underestimate – we don’t account for unexpected costs.

We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that can affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year may not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged – even at a task you thought was simple – because that is part of life.

If you accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life may seem slightly more manageable.

In middle school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule best suited for myself. Yet each time, I was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn’t be easy, I found myself with a more positive attitude and improved results.

Of course, there should be preparations made to account for expenses or time. Doing so can help you achieve your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up when something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see the bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves extra time to catch it.

【1】Why did the author mention his experience of removing a bee?

A.To show the unexpected costs it caused.

B.To share something unforgettable with us.

C.To tell us how easy it is to waste our time.

D.To lead us to what the author learned from it.

【2】Why do things often turn out to be different from what we expect?

A.Unexpected things can happen.

B.It is quite easy to feel challenged.

C.We don’t often take time seriously.

D.We haven’t enough energy to control them.

【3】Why does the author mention the bee once again in the end?

A.To show how upsetting it is.

B.To link back to the beginning.

C.To warn us to catch it anyhow.

D.To use it as a reminder of valuing time.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A.To encourage us to make more efforts.

B.To persuade us not to expect things to be easy.

C.To explain how to make preparations for the bad.

D.To tell us what to do when something gets in our way.

29、   If you want to keep fit, please refer to the following:

Move More

Make it a daily habit to find ways to move your body. 【1】 Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator(电梯); walk your dog；play with your kids. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minutedance class. But that's great when you're up to it. At the same time, move more.

Give up Smoking
