As I was walking home,a boy seemed to be singing a song in a very low voice,walking infront of me and
carrying some of the same high school books I had with me.I caught up to him,and said “Hello”.I could tell he
wasstartled,and dropped one of his books.I picked it up and as I handed it to him,he said “Thank you.” in a
strange way,like witha strong accent.
We soon began walking together and turns out he was in my science class,and I didn’t even know
it!
His name was Ahmad,and his family had just moved here this school invited me into his house,and
his family treated me like a special guest,which made me feel very said hospitality (好客) is very
basic to his culture,and strangers were always treated very mom brought out some great food,and

This year researchers expect the world to snap 1.35 trillion photographs, or about 3.7 billion per day. All
those pixels (像素) take up a lot of room if they are stored on personal computers or s phones, which is one
reason why many people store their images in the cloud. But unlike a hard on drive which can be encrypted to
protect its data, cloud storage users have to trust that a tech platform will keep their private pictures safe. Now a
team of Columbia University computer scientists has developed a tool to encrypt (加密) images stored on many
popular cloud services while allowing authorized users to browse and display their photographs as usual.
Malicious (恶意的) attempts to access or leak cloud-based photographs can expose personal information. In
November 2019, for example, a bug in the popular photograph storage app Google Photos mistakenly shared
some users' private videos with strangers. Security experts also worry about employees at cloud storage
companies on purpose accessing users' images.
So the Columbia researchers came up with a system called Easy Secure Photos (ESP), which they presented at
a recent conference. “We wanted to see if we could make it possible to encrypt data while using existing services,”
says computer scientist Jason Nieh, one of the developers of ESP. “Everyone wants to stay with Google Photos and
not have to register on a new encrypted-image cloud storage service.”
To overcome this problem, they created a tool that preserves blocks of pixels but moves them around to
effectively hide the photograph. First, ESP's algorithm (算法) divides a photograph into three separate files, each
one containing the image's red, green or blue color1 data. Then the system hides the pixel blocks around among
these three files (allowing a block from the red file, for instance, to hide out in the green or blue ones). But the
program does nothing within the pixel blocks, where all the image processing happens. As a result, the files
remain unchanged images but end up looking like grainy black-and-white ones to anyone who accesses them
without the decryption (解密) key.
8. What's probably the main purpose for people to store images in the cloud?
A. To save storage room. B. To make photos beautiful.
C. To try a new storage way. D. To keep their privacy safe.
9. Why might employees in cloud storage companies be distrusted by experts?
A. They sell users' passwords.
B. They have invented new tools.
C. They often let out personal information.
D. They may steal a glance at users' images.
10. What's the advantage of ESP?
A. It can provide clear images.
B. It can decrease the upload time.
C. It can classify images automatically.
D. It can encrypt data on the original platform.
11. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Method of decryption. B. Image-processing technique.
C. Separate files of images. D. Data analysisof color1 s.
D
Imagine that youare a superhero. Your superpowers are activated by a special suit. The suit communicates
with your brain. It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought. By concentrating on strength, for example,
you can kick a soccer ball across a field. By focusing on swift actions, you can jump to the top of a tree.
Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy. To scientists, though, it is a very real
goal. They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk. These machines may soon help disabled humans
do the same. Unlike other bionic devices, these robotic “super suits” do not communicate with muscles and
nerves. Instead, they have a direct line to the brain.
In 2005, doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson, who had lost her right arm in an accident. Then they
inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex (大脑皮层运动区). Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head.
After she recovered, researchers pluggedHutchinson’s receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to
computers. Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers. The computerscould interpretHutchinson’s brain
signals to move the arm.
Soon,Hutchinson, the computer, and the robotic arm became a nsonwas even able to lift her
hand and drink from a cup. “She smiled when she put down that drink—that’s everything.” says Donoghue, a brain
scientist.
Today other scientists are building on that success. One of those scientists is Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, who
designed a whole-body bionic equipment. In 2014, a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup
Games wearing one of Miguel’s full-body exoskeletons.
The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the man’s cap. By thinking about kicking, he sent
signals to a computer on his back. The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick. Such
designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.
can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?
A. Narrative and serious.
B. Persuasive and critical.
C. Informative and objective.
D. Descriptive and imaginative.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Reason of the experiment. B. Results of the experiment.
C. Process of the experiment. D. Significance of the experiment.
14. Why is Dr. Miguel’s exoskeleton special?
A. It can be used on animals.
B. It can move the whole body.
C. It was supported by computers.
D. It was connected directly to the brain.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.
B. Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinson’s bionic arm.
ific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.
D. Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of computer.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
Stress is so common that many people choose to ignore it. But without right management, stress can be
something much more serious.___16___They allow you to continue living your life in a healthy, happy manner.
Breathe
The stress-relief technique that pretty much everyone’s heard of, the act of breathing nonetheless remains an
important point as any when it comes to cooling down the angry blood that’s raging (发怒)around your
body.___17___
Write
___18___Scribble (涂写) your feelings onto a piece of paper. They don’t even have to make sense. Just punch
(按键) away at your computer on a day-to-day basis for five or ten minutes, and you might be surprised at how
light,and carefree you feel afterwards.
___19___Laughing allows us to take in a momentous supply of fresh oxygen from the air, stimulating (刺激)
the muscles and providing our system with some healthy shock treatment that eases tension brought on by stress.
Laughing is something we need to do everyday to stay healthy, and is a great way to keep the bad effects of stress
at bay.
Sleep
Sleep is ly essential for avoiding high stress levels. Everyone needs good amounts of rest, and by remaining
glued (寸步不离) toa computer screen for the entire day without taking a break, your body will suffer the
consequences, and stress will rise as a result.___20___
