21、Are you still frustrated for forgetting passwords? Never again! There’s a way to choose and remember them with confidence.

【1】 It’s good exercise for your brain and a valuable way to protect your identity online. The system uses letters, numbers and symbols, so it will please even the strictest website. And the random-looking codes it produces would be extremely difficult for someone to crack, but just enough of a challenge for your brain.

First, choose a short quotation, one that no one would have any reason to associate with you. 【2】 So, if you chose “Play it again, Sam”, you’d have the letters PIAS. Next, choose a meaningful date again, one that can’t be guessed or easily researched. Maybe the year of a favorite holiday, “86,” say. 【3】 Finally, organize these building blocks in any order you like. And strengthen the code further by making some of the letters lower case and some upper: maybe 86&EPiAs.

Spend a little time getting to know this “foundation” for your passwords. “See” it in your mind’s eye. And then start using it as the basis for every new password you set. Add two or three extra letters each time, a few initials or abbreviations (缩写) to remind you of what this particular password is for. 【4】

So the final password for your BBC account could be: BBC86&EPiAs.

【5】 But each password ends up being complex and unique, helping to protect your identity and giving your memory a cracking workout every time.

A．Nothing is better than this.

B．What you should do is to follow a system.

C．We can remember them well if we often use the letters.

D．With a system like this, you’ve got a basic formula to follow.

E．Then add a random element by picking any two symbols like & and E.

F．Pick out the initial letters-creating the first “building block” for your passwords.

G．For example, you might use BT for your phone account or CC for the camera club forum.

22、   In the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools, wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox.

“Let’s go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!” Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.

Suddenly, Zach cried. “Zach!” Steve shouted. “Are you OK? Where are you?” Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle.

As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didn’t come back. Steve couldn’t blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even though he didn’t have a clue which way.

Steve and Zach hadn’t gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope they’d just climbed. But Steve didn’t get it. Then Brady grabbed the boy’s jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle’s life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?

Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. “OK, big guy,” Steve gritted(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldn’t have it. The dog bullied both boys to go on. How long they’d walked Steve had no idea. He was almost numb when he heard it—the wonderful sound of rushing water!

【1】What happened to Steve and Zach at first?

A. They got injured. B. They lost their dog.

C. They were trapped. D. They became separated.

【2】Brady ran away to ______.

A. seek help B. find a way out

C. rescue Zach D. escape for life

【3】How did Steve feel after Brady pulled his jeans?

A. Uneasy. B. Impatient.

C. Numb. D. Uncertain.

【4】The passage basically describes ________.

A. an adventure B. an exploration

C. an escape game D. a training program

23、Mr. Calthorpe is a Berkeley-based urban planner who is one of the creators of New Urban-ism, which promotes mixed use, walkable neighborhoods. His designs emphasize the connection of housing, shopping and public space. A popular claim by the advocates of self-driving cars is that not only will they lead to fewer cars, faster communications and a thorough rethinking of cities where finding a place to park is no longer a priority.

Mr. Calthorpe rejects the ideas of tech industry predictors who say personal autonomous vehicles will soon be the solution to urban problems like traffic jams. He is not opposed to autonomous vehicles. Mr. Calthorpe’s quarrel is with the idea that the widespread adoption of personally owned self-driving cars will solve transportation problem. In fact, he worries it will lead to more urban jams.

This year, Mr. Calthorpe challenged Silicon Valley to take another look at its housing and transportation problem in a proposal in which he asked: “Can more houses and streets solve the San Francisco Bay Area housing crisis?” The Valley’s housing crisis can be explained in data that shows that since 2010, the region has added 11 jobs for every new home built; the middlesized house price has reached $934,000; and rents have gone up by 60 percent since 2012. One of the consequences of the growing imbalance between housing and jobs is the increasing traffic jams, according to an Urban Footprint report.

To avoid the traffic jams, Mr. Calthorpe puts forward a plan which requires efficient mass transportation. He has proposed an alternative—autonomous rapid transportation or ART—using fleets (车队) of self-driving tracks in reserved lanes on main roads like E1 Camino Real. Those lanes would allow the vehicles to travel faster and require a lower level of autonomous technology. And the trucks could travel separately or be connected together.

【1】What is Mr. Calthorpe’s dream neighborhood like?

A．Walkable areas with empty space.

B．Connected areas with faster transport.

C．Communities with fewer self-diving cars.

D．Communities with convenient public facilities.

【2】What do the tech industry predictors claim?

A．Parking is not a problem any more.

B．People should reject car driving.

C．Autonomous vehicles cause more troubles.

D．Self-driving cars can erase traffic jams.

【3】What does Mr. Calthorpe’s question about Silicon Valley’s housing crisis suggest?

A．His doubt about the data.

B．His disapproval of the practice.

C．His advice on avoiding the suffering.

D．His acceptance of the consequence.

【4】What is Mr. Calthorpe’s solution to the traffic jams?

A．Building more roads.

B．Smart fleets of trucks.

C．Offering autonomous cars.

D．Public transportation.

24、Like a phoenix (凤凰), some stars may burst to life covered in “ash,” rising from the remains of stars that had previously passed on.

Two fireballs covered in carbon and oxygen, ashy byproducts of helium fusion (氦聚变), belong to a new class of stars, researchers report in the March Monthly Notices. Though these burning objects are not the first stars found covered in carbon and oxygen, they are the first discovered to have helium-burning cores.

“That merger (并合) tells you the star must have evolved differently,” says study author Nicole Reindl.

The stars may have formed from the merger of two white dwarfs (白矮星), the remaining hearts of stars that exhausted their fuel, Reindl further explains. One of the two was rich in helium, while the other contained lots of carbon and oxygen. These two white dwarfs had already been orbiting one another, but gradually drew together. Eventually the helium-rich white dwarf “ate” its partner, leaving carbon and oxygen all over its surface, just as a messy child might get food all over their face.

Such a merger would have produced a star covered in carbon and oxygen to burn nuclear fusion in its core again, says Tiara Battich, a German astrophysicist.

To test this idea, Battich copied the evolution, death and eventual merger of two stars on his computer and simulated (模拟) the process. He found that putting together a carbon-and-oxygen-rich white dwarf and a more massive helium one could explain the compositions of the two stars observed by Reindl and her colleagues.

“But this should happen very rarely,” Battich says. In most cases the opposite should occur, because carbon-oxygen white dwarfs are usually the more massive ones. For the rarer case to occur, two stars slightly more massive than the sun must have formed at just the right distance and the right time.

The origins story Battich proposes demands a very specific and unusual set of circumstances, says Simon Blouin, a Canadian astrophysicist. “But in the end, it makes sense.”

【1】What’s the newest discovery of the merger of two stars?

A．It produces a mass of helium ash.

B．It possesses a helium-burning core.

C．It is covered in carbon and oxygen.

D．It makes an oxygen atmosphere for life.

【2】How did Battich prove his assumption of the merger?

A．By co-working with Rcindl’s team.

B．By making astronomic observations.

C．By building models on his computer.

D．By testing the two stars’ compositions.

【3】The underlined phrase “the opposite” means ________.

A．the carbon-oxygen white dwarf “ate” the helium one

B．the helium white dwarf “ate” the carbon-oxygen one

C．helium white dwarfs are usually the more massive ones

D．carbon-oxygen white dwarfs are usually the more massive ones

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A．The formation of stars makes sense.

B．The burning of stars brings them to life.

C．Stars inspire scientists to reflect on the universe.

D．Star mergers can unfold in more than one way.
