二、阅读理解(共4题,共 20分)

26、   When you were a child you had a pure (纯洁的) mind, which was free from worries and anxieties. As time passed, you were influenced by several crises (危机). 1 Below are some techniques which can help you keep a peaceful mind:

Mind your own business.

Focusing on things which are not related in negativity (消极). It will disturb your mental peace. So next time an unnecessary thought comes to your mind, think about whether this is really something you should be worrying about. 2

Surround yourself with positive people.

3 When someone is negative, he spreads negativity and you get affected. Always staying with such people will have long-term influence on your character. So think about your company (同伴).

4

Remember the great saying: Small minds discuss people; average minds discuss events; higher minds discuss ideas and great minds act in silent. Don’t allow your brain to compare yourself to others. Don’t be jealous (嫉妒的). This harms your soul and takes away your mental peace.

Ignore (忽略) your thoughts about being unlucky.

Bad luck happens to everyone. Time whether good or bad, passes quickly. 5 Believe in the power of now. Believe in your skills. Work hard and you will get what you feel you’re worthy of.

With these suggestions, I believe you can bring major changes in your lifestyle and get back your mental peace.

A. Don’t think about others too much.

B. If it isn’t, avoid it right away and focus on something positive.

C. Stay away from negative people.

D. Bring positive energy with you wherever you go.

E. Develop the power of not looking back into your past.

F. It is hard to keep your mind away from bad things.

G. Now your pure mind becomes impure when you are stressful.

28、Americans are now allowed to get a COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗). But the process in America is not going as smoothly as some had hoped. Many people are still facing a wait for their first shot. Moreover, the vaccines aren't available to kids under 16 yet. That's because scientists have only tested if the vaccine works in adults.

The good news is that there are two companies, Moderna and Pfizer, making COVID-19 vaccines. They are now running clinical trials (临床实验)to test their vaccines in teens and kids. Volunteers are given a treatment plan and then evaluated after.

Clinical trials are designed with safety in mind and usually done in adults first. They work like this: volunteers get placed into one of two groups. One group receives the vaccine. The other group gets a placebo. This is a shot given in the same way as the vaccine but with no effect. Scientists can compare the effects of the real vaccine against the placebo to see if the vaccine works. Researchers want to know everything that a person experiences when they get the shot, so they can detect any harmful effects. If anything did happen, the trial would stop immediately.

Some teens are eager to volunteer because they want to help people. Maybe you're the right age to be part of a clinical trial for the COVID-19 vaccine. Why not volunteer For A Vaccine Trial? Interested kids should read about the trials because every trial has risks. They should talk to their doctor and weigh the benefits and risks. Every vaccine has rare side effects in a few patients.

If you want to participate in a trial, you can try to sign up online by just clicking here, clinical trials gov. which lists every clinical trial in the US, including COVID-19 vaccine trials.

【1】Why kids under 16 can't get a COVID-19 vaccine?

A.Because the vaccine is too hard to get.

B.Because the vaccine is too expensive for them.

C.Because they are not at the risk of getting COVID-19.

D.Because the effectiveness of the vaccine for kids hasn't been tested .

【2】How do the clinical trials work?

A.One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a substance to comfort patients.

B.One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a pill to treat patients.

C.One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a prize to award patients.

D.One group receives the vaccine and the other group gets a way to cure patients.

【3】What's the purpose of this article?

A.To tell American adults they can get a COVID-19 vaccine.

B.To inform that American children can't get a COVID-19 vaccine.

C.To give information about clinical trials of vaccines in teens and kids.

D.To provide information for potential volunteers on trials.

29、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.
