All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each works have been part of our life, Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备) has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it, while they are having a coffee, on a train ,in a shopping mall or at a hotel. However, is this kind of public WiFi network safe
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密) methods are used. Therefore, they are safer than others. But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected, including addresses, emails, birth dates, phone numbers, passwords and so on. These open WiFi networks are really not safe, because it is very easy for hackers (黑客) to break into the operating system and get people’s private information.
Most smartphones and laptops, by themselves, search and connect to WiFi networks. They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before Hackers’ devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks. When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real, hackers can easily steal their private information.
So next time, when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks , please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.
24. Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network
A. Because it can provide useful information.
B. Because the owner of the network is polite
C. Because it is free
D. Because it is safe.
25. We can learn from the passage that ______.

C
Earlier this month, I paid a visit to Baluran National Park in eastern Java with my family. This park, named after a dead volcano, is the only place in Indonesia that looks like an African savanna (热带草原). Therefore, it is called Africa in Indonesia. You can see deer, large water buffalo, small mice, peacocks, eagles, monkeys and much more animals.
When walking in the park, we really had the feeling that we were in Africa. This was mainly due to its climate. The air was hot and dry rather than warm and wet. It was completely different from what I got used to in Indonesia and I was so surprised.
In the park, you will never get bored because the whole neighborhood is full of monkeys. But these monkeys are rude and aggressive (好斗的). Monkeys guarded our house and wanted food. When we didn’t give them food, they would rob us of food. So each of us was offered a stick by the rangers (护林员). They taught us that when the monkeys were too aggressive we must lift the stick. And it worked perfectly.
In the late afternoon, we went for a walk to explore the area. On the way, we saw many species of trees that couldn’t be found anywhere else in Indonesia. Soon the sunset approached so we decided to go back. But darkness fell about halfway through the journey. We only had poor light from our phones. And we heard only the sounds of animals around us. It was possible that hungry animals might come close to us and take us as their dinner. We started to feel scared and quickened our steps. Just when we were about to reach our breaking point, we saw a ranger, who comforted us and led us to safety.
In the evening, we talked with the ranger about his life in Baluran. And after dinner, he invited us to fish with him at sunrise. We really had a great time in the park, and I always look forward to coming back and experiencing all the excitements again.
28. What do we learn about Baluran National Park
A. It is a great place for wild animals. B. It is located in the middle of Africa.
C. Tourists find its climate very pleasant. D. Tourists usually visit it for its volcano.
29. Why was each member of the author’s family offered a stick
A. To help them walk easily. B. To drive away unfriendly monkeys.
C. To play games with monkeys. D. To use it to give monkeys food.
30. What made the author and her family quicken their steps
A. The anxiety to charge their phones.
B. The desire to tell the rangers about their adventure.
C. The worry about being robbed at night.
D. The fear of being attacked by wild animals.
31. Why does the author write the passage
A. Encourage people to travel to Indonesia.
B. Give tips on how to visit Baluran National Park.
C. Share her experience at Baluran National Park.
D. Advertise Baluran National Park.
D
Bicycle riding has become popular world-wide. Bicycles are typically made of metals such as steel and aluminum (铝), but now there is a company making bikes differently. These bicycles are made from British-grown ash trees by the Welsh furniture maker Andy Dix.
“It’s great to push for more bikes and fewer cars on the road, but the traditional bike industry as a whole is using a large amount of energy,” Dix said. “I’ve always tried to reduce environmental impact in my work. Rather than using metals, or plastic, I’m building bikes from green materials—wood.”
It took two years to build a model bike that was made from the ash tree. Dix tested the wooden bike on the roughest road she could find and discovered that it was comfortable, strong, and excellent at absorbing vibrations (吸收震动). He put more than 3, 000 miles on the bike. Then he rode a normal bike on broken roads, which would have shaken him to bits, and then the penny dropped. “Not only could I make a bike out of wood, but it had advantages over other materials,” Dix said.
While cutting down trees can add more carbon to the atmosphere to a certain degree, sustainable (可持续的) tree farming is possible, which can balance the needs of the environment and forest communities. And Dix said producing a tonne of aluminum results in 4, 532kg of carbon emissions while producing a tonne of wood only gives out 457kg. Making bicycles out of wood won’t make a huge difference. “We have this material growing naturally all around us. It’s time people started to think about using it,” Dix said.
The cost of a new wooden bike is out of reach for many bicycle riders. But the idea of using sustainable materials like ash trees could start a new cycling change that puts the environment first. Helping the environment could be just a pedal (踏板) away.
32. What do Dix’s words in Paragraph 2 tell us
A. The disadvantages of metal bikes.
B. The process of producing wooden bikes.
C. The changes happening to the bike industry.
D. The driving force for his turning to wooden bikes.
33. Which of the following can best describe Dix’s wooden bike
A. It is eco-friendly and has an excellent performance.
B. It is consumer-friendly but needs many materials.
C. It is energy-saving but hard to operate.
D. It is well-recognized and affordable.
34. What is probably the author’s attitude towards the wooden bike
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Unclear.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Bikes made from trees may appear
B. Cycling is a good form of exercise
C. Let’s pay attention to our carbon footprint
D. Let’s challenge ourselves with a wooden bike

Pay It Forward
Ryan, whose father died of illness early, was a senior high student now. He and his mom were on their own, living in a sparsely furnished apartment. Mom lost her job because of the economic crisis and they barely got by(勉强度日).
As usual, Ryan walked into the restaurant where his mother once worked as a cashier in 2010 and queued up to pay for the lunch.
“Two forty,” Sonia, the cashier said.
“Could you charge it to my account, please My name is Ryan Harris. “
Sonia looked through the record chart, announcing that Ryan didn’t have any credits (积分) left, and suggested he pay cash. Reaching his hand into his pocket, Ryan only took out several cents, which couldn’t cover the lunch. He smiled weakly, turned away and took a seat in the restaurant for a rest. He felt so hungry that his eyes fell on the sandwiches people around were enjoying. Before long, unexpectedly, Sonia walked up to him, bringing a lunch and putting it on his desk. Surprise deprived him of all power of speech. Sonia explained, “I paid for it. And I bought you some credits to last you through the month. I know what it’s like to go without lunch.”
Soon Ryan learned the truth. Sonia went to the same senior high in 2010 like him and used to have lunch in the same restaurant every day. One day, she stayed in line, waiting to buy her lunch, but was told that she didn’t have enough credits. So she left, empty-handed. Just as she thought she would go hungry, an amazing cashier brought her lunch and a card reading “Pay it forward and help someone else in need”.
Sonia told Ryan the amazing cashier changed her life forever, and she was the reason why Sonia decided to start working here, meanwhile handing Ryan the card. Ryan promised that he would pay the money back to her one day. But Sonia insisted, “We are human. And we have to be nice to each other. You needn’t pay me back; you pay it forward!” Ryan could not believe his good fortune, enjoyed the lunch and went to school.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After school, Ryan came home, only to see his mum wiping tears off her face.
