“Your password has expired,” a message said on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn’t seem like a big deal, unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one number. Oh, the whole password can’t be fewer than eight characters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the past three months.
Suddenly I was very angry. What didn’t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief about what she had done to me was all I thought about. Everyday!
I remembered a tip I’d heard from my former boss. He’d said: “I’m going to use a password tochange my life.” I couldn’t focus on getting things done in my current mood. There were clear signs of what I needed to do to get control of my life again.
My password became the sign. My password reminded me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.
I made my password Forgive@h3r. I had to type this several times a day. The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened and find a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to happen. By the time my server asked me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.
One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing that I had to get done. My password became Quit@smoking4ever. I quit smoking overnight. This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal. One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailand. Guess where I went three months later: Thailand.
Seeing how these reminders helped to achieve my goals kept me motivated and excited. While it’s something difficult to come up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results.
24. The word “expired” underlined in the 1st paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A. been renewed B. changed C. been mistaken D. become due
25. Which of the following passwords meets the author’s company’s requirements?
A. buy@1 ticket B. See@h3 r C. Course4$ Saving D. Dream4 future
26. What can be inferred about the author according to the text?
A. He finally recovered well from his divorce.
B. He started smoking to heal his broken heart,
C. He saved enough money to have 4 trips in Thailand.
D. He was always angry about his company’s requirements for passwords.
27. What would be the best title of the text?
A. Never to be a victim of others’faults
B. To motivate yourself by setting your goals
C. How to come up with a new password
D. A new way of dealing with my depression
C
China deployed（部署） a satellite on Oct 24 to carry out technological tests for space debris（残骸） management, according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. The spacecraft aims to demonstrate technologies to alleviate space debris.
Since the dawn of the space age in the 1950s, humans have launched thousands of rockets and sent even more satellites into orbit. Many are still there, and we are now facing an ever-increasing risk of space junk.
More than 27,000 pieces of orbital debris, or “space junk”, are tracked in space, according toNASA. Much more debris is too small to be tracked but large enough to threaten human spaceflight and robotic missions. Since a piece of debris can move faster than a speeding bullet, collisions with these tiny pieces often leave pits in many satellites, telescopes and other objects orbiting our planet.
In 2006, for example, a tiny piece of space junk collided with the International Space Station, taking a chip out of the heavily reinforced window, according to National Geographic.
Space junk is a huge threat to space missions that involve human life. “This is particularlyimportant since careful consideration needs to be made about the orbital path of space junk before spacewalk exercises are conducted,” Joon Wayn Cheong, a satellite systems expert, told Science X, a science website.
Luckily, scientists are fully aware of the issue, and they are approaching it in different ways.
One involves using a giant net. In 2018, the UK’s Surrey Space Center used a net to catch space junk in an experiment. It was the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, CNN reported. It involved targeting debris and catching it with a net and a harpoon（鱼叉）.
Another solution is to use robotic arms. Clear Space 1, the European Space Agency’s mission to remove space junk from orbit, is expected to launch in 2025, which will adopt robotic arms to capture the debris, BBC Science Focus Magazine reported. The mission plans to locate, capture and throw debris into the atmosphere, where it will burn up in the intense pressure and friction（摩擦） of re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
28. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraphl mean?
A. Track. B. Increase. C. Reduce. D. Destroy.
29. What can be inferred about space junk according to the passage?
A. A great many satellites orbiting the Earth don’t work efficiently.
B. About 27,000 satellites are working on the orbit of the Earth.
C. Many satellites have been damaged by speeding bullets.
D. Spacewalk exercises can be a huge threat to space junk.
30.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?（P= paragraph）
A. B. C. D.
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Achievement in aerospace B. Risks of space junk
C.Solutions to solving debris D. Space debris cleanup
D
On January 1st, 2018, “gaming disorder”— in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization （WHO）. Last year, China, the world’s biggest gaming market, announced new rules limiting children to just a single hour of play a day. Clinics are appearing around the world, promising to cure patients of their habit.
Are games really addictive? Psychologists have different opinions. The case for the defence is that this is just another moral panic. Similar warnings have been given about television, rock’n’roll, jazz, comic books, and even novels. As the newest form of mass media, gaming is merely enduring its own time before it finally stops being controversial.
However, some argue that unlike rock bands or novelists, games developers have both the motive and the means to engineer their products to make them addictive. For one thing, the business-model has changed. In the old days games were bought once and for all. But these days, games are free and money is earned from purchases of in-game goods, which ties playtime directly to developers’ income. For another, games makers combine psychological theory and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their permanent Intemet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. That allows products to be constantly adjusted to increase spending on games.
The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing. Now that gaming addiction comes with an official WHO recognition, diagnoses become more common. Clinics are already reporting booming business, as lockdowns have given gamers more time to spend with their hobby. And being put together in the public mind, fairly or not, with gambling will not do the industry any favours,
32. What is the function of Paragraph 1?
A. To arouse the readers’ interest about the topic.
B. To inform the readers of the harmful effects of games.
C. To discuss whether it is necessary to panic about games.
D. To show growing public concern about the problem of games.
33. Why is television, together with other media forms, mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To prove that the panic over games will fade away.
B. To show that they are as highly addictlve as games.
C. To compare the differences among these media forms.
D. To argue that these media forms are not harmful at all.
34. How do games developers make games addictive?
A. They don’t charge players for in-game goods.
B. They adjust products based on received data.
C.They reward top players with more playtime.
D. They keep players’ video game machines updated.
35. In the last parnagraph, the author aims to______.
A. offer a suggestion B. make a prediction
C. give a warning D. put forward a solution

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。
My husband and I made an agreement to help each other stay off social media platforms as much as possible. We left our accounts up instead of deleting them, but consciously stopped using them. 36 Now, I’m glad to report that they have worked.
Tired of being the last to hear of things, we downloaded a few news-specific apps that provide timely information. 37 Instead of relying on articles shared by my friends, I now have access to a steady stream of headlines that span far broader than my pre-specified interests.
Staying updated on our social circle has also been a more conscious effort. Previously I was kept up-to-the-minute on engagements, weddings, new jobs and babies through updates and pictures. Without social media, I now learn of these important events only when actually meeting the people involved.
38 The effort taken to sit down and write is far hard, but when I do take the time to journal, my reflections go far deeper.
I still log in occasionally. 39 Based on the screen time tracked by my phone, I used to spend an average of over 24 hours a week on various social media platforms. That is down to just 20 minutes every month now, freeing up a large amount of time for sleep, hobbies and offline interactions.
40 I might know less about my acquaintances（熟人） now, but have more time to keep directly in touch with my closest friends. Walking home last week, I was greeted by a dramatic purple-pink sunset. I would have immediately reached for my phone a year ago. Now, it was enough to simply watch it darken into the night.
A. Overall, I’m glad to have made the change.
B. I bought myself a diary again after many years.
C. We have made a few adjustments in our daily life.
D. This has also widened the range of news I keep up with.
E. I do miss the advantages of using social media to record and reflect.
F. However, social media now play a much less important role in my life.
G. I didn’t realize how programmed I had become to constantly use the app.

I was 40, with two adorable children and a caring husband. And I’m enjoying a demanding but 41 career. Although this is “success”, sometimes I feel my heart asking if this is who I truly am.
The chaos of the family kitchen was 42 ; the noise of the kettle, pots and dishes, and the conversation 43 while I’m making breakfast. I escaped 44 to my bedroom. Only in silence do I bear the self that is 45 from the children and wonder who that person might be.
So, I journeyed, for the first time in a decade, without my husband or kids. I went with a friend to 46 in Iceland. I hoped the consideration of walking would help me better 47 who I wanted to be. For 6 days, I was lost in wild scenery and real weather. The mountains in Iceland rise black and tall into the heavens against the white snow. Looking outside at wild wind and rain and knowing there’s no decision to make 48 the soul. Climbing a mountain against sheets of rain and returning to a tent for a simple meal 49 me how little I actually needed and how strong I felt 50 uncomfortable.
I found 51 in Iceland, and time to consider “the me” outside career and kids as I shared stories with strangers with no 52 past and no expected future. When I stopped talking and just listened, I was surprised at how my 53 changed—I became more generous. I learned generosity can 54 more space and more warmth 55 when there may not seem enough togo around at first glance.
I came home to 56 , chaos and love. I know the answer isn’t waiting out there on the top of a mountain or inside my head, however 57 I try to hear; and it isn’t in conversations with other seeking souls. The answer is in front of me with every step on my own life’s 58 .
I’m not finding myself, but I’m creating myself. I need the storm as much as I need the quiemess. 59 is built under a heavy load. I’m expecting to pick up all of my loads and travel 60 .

3D printing has several advantages 61 truditional manufacturing（制造）techniques.Building a model would be very expensive 62 （use） traditional manufacturing methods. You have to spend thousands or more to set up machine tools and then thousands more when youwant to change that model. 3D printing makes it financially 63 （afford） to build one-off models, Making simple 64 （repair） to old household appliances, rather than replacing them, also becomes possible when spare parts can be printed off in your living room, rather than having to be tracked down and 65 （order） online. Using a 3D printer also cuts down the supply chain: the network of factories, warehouses and shipping companies normally needed to get a product to 66 end user.
But 3D printing also has its disadvantage. In general, 3D printers are slow. A two-inch-highfigurine（雕像）can take about one hour to print. 67 , consumer-grade 3D printers are only able to produce relatively simple plastic models.
Last but not least, 3D printing is facing legal problems. Established players in manufacturing argue that their intellectual property（知识产权）is ripped off by home printers. Currently, the copyright laws are 68 （clear） about the degree to 69 3D designs and software are protectable, and what 70 （consider） illegal.

A big storm destroyed two villages in South Africa on last Friday, causing 4 death. Over 200 people became homeless as a result of the storm. A farmer said the storm began early in the morning and last one hour. He said, “I was in the kitchen with my wife and children while we heard a loud noise. A few minutes late, our house fell down. I managed to climb out, but much to my shocking, one of my boys were missing. I quickly went back inside and found them safe but frightened.” Soldiers came to rescue those burying under the ruins, and the government provided food, clothes, and shelters for homeless.

Old Problem,New Approaches
While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after CO₂ emissions（排放） peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.
When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that: “There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation.” Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.
Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity （连接） to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season.
Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man, The loss of glaciers there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation（灌溉） water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000 m³of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.
Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses （which reflect light back to space） has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.
In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving icc. The outcome is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to save the planet”.
More ordinary forms of adaptation arc happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this—cither by growing new produce or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue that we’ve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, it’s a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.
Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.
91. What is special with regard to Rezwan’s project?
A. The project receives government support.
B. Different organizations work with each other.
C. His organization makes the best of a bad situation.
D. The project connects flooded roads and highways.
