21、The people who called into the help hotlines and domestic violence shelters said they felt as if they were going crazy. One woman said the code numbers of the digital lock at her front door changed every day and she could not figure out why. Still another said she kept hearing the doorbell ring, but no one was there.

Their stories are part of a new pattern of behavior in domestic abuse cases tied to the rise of smart home technology. Internet-connected locks, speakers, lights and cameras marketed as the newest conveniences are now also being used as a means for monitoring, revenge and control.

In more than 30 interviews with The New York Times, domestic abuse victims, their lawyers, shelter workers and emergency responders described how the technology was becoming an alarming new tool. Abusers—using apps on their smartphones, which are connected to the Internet-enabled devices—would remotely control everyday objects in the home, sometimes to watch and listen, other times to scare or show power. Even after a partner had left the home, the devices often stayed and continued to be used to threaten and confuse.

For victims, the experiences were often aggravated by a lack of knowledge about how smart technology works, how much power the other person had over the devices, how to legally deal with the behavior and how to make it stop.

“People have started to ask what to do about this,” said Erica Olsen, director of the Safety Net Project at the National Network to End Domestic Violence. When it came to discussing the misuse of emerging technologies, she said: “we don’t want to introduce the idea to the world, but now that it’s become so common, the cat’s out of the bag.”

Connected home devices have been increasing in domestic abuse cases over the past year. Several lawyers said they were arguing about how to add language to the current restraining orders to cover smart home technology.

【1】What is the problem with the Internet-enabled devices?

A．They give rise to complaints in the help hotlines.

B．They are being employed in domestic abuse.

C．They are unaffordable as newest conveniences.

D．They threaten the market of smart home technology.

【2】The underlined word “aggravated” in Paragraph 4 means________.

A．worsened

B．broadened

C．reflected

D．guaranteed

【3】According to Erica Olsen, the discussion of the misuse of emerging technologies is________.

A．insignificant

B．unavoidable

C．controversial

D．optional

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Officials have trouble drawing up laws to protect people’s privacy.

B．Smart home technology has made people’s houses unsafe to live in.

C．Connected home devices lead to the increase in domestic abuse.

D．Laws need to be revised to restrict the use of smart home technology.

22、   About six years ago I began my job as an IT consultant. I had always been quite good with computers. It was a great move for me, as I quickly learned a ton. Every day was fun. It was one of the best and most challenging jobs I’ve ever had.

Flash-forward a few years and things started to taper. I wasn’t learning as much as before. I felt a desire to try something different, to strike out on my own. I couldn’t get up the courage to make any moves. The job paid very well; I had a lot of freedom, and great benefits. I had grown comfortable and accustomed to an easy life.

Last year things came to a head, I was having a particularly stressful month, overloaded with work that was neither challenging nor interesting. I had enough. I reached out to my boss and let him know that I was done. We had a meeting about my decision. He didn’t want to lose me. He addressed my concerns and we agreed that I could change my job and begin working on some new internal organizational systems. I decided to give this new role a chance.

Now, a year after my role change, not much is different. Senior staff did not adopt the new systems I built. The work is still uninspiring and unchallenging. I’m comfortable, but comfort to me has become terrible. Change can be very difficult for some and after spending time trying to carry out new solutions, I’ve realized that you simply can’t change other people if they don’t want it.

I’ve again quit my job. It’s both liberating and frightening. I need a greater challenge. I’ve learned a lot

from my quitting experience. Here are some signs that it might be time to quit your job.

【1】What does the underlined word “taper” mean in the passage?

A.Increase. B.Decline.

C.Develop. D.Repeat.

【2】How did the author feel when considering getting a move?

A.Decisive. B.Cautious.

C.Contradictory. D.Careless.

【3】Why was the author upset?

A.His leader couldn’t make sense of him.

B.He was unsatisfied with his salary.

C.He thought his job was boring.

D.His boss didn’t allow him to leave.

【4】What will be continued with the passage?

A.Indications that you should give up a job.

B.Suggestions on how to live comfortably.

C.Instructive stories about some other people.

D.Great challenges you should face and accept.

23、The U.S. government is facing an increasing bother. Wild pigs, at their worst, can damage crops, spread diseases, attack humans and kill farm animals. And things are getting worse: a study shows that they are likely to double in number over the next 3 years. Why is it so hard to control wild pigs?

Introduced to America in the 16th century, and related to the wild pigs found in Europe, wild pigs can be found in 75% of all states. No single law exists to control them and regulations differ between states: while in Missouri they can only be shot if met by chance, in Texas hunting is actively encouraged; a “pork chopper” law allows Texan hunters to shoot wild pigs from helicopters, and some people in Louisiana have even built their own pig—hunting drone(无人机). As well as being popular with hunters, wild pigs are cheaper for game raisers to breed(饲养)than deer. In Michigan and Pennsylvania suggested bans on the private breeding of pigs for hunting have caused quarrels between game raisers and wildlife officials.

Wild pigs' double nature—considered pests by farmers, but valued by hunters—makes it hard to pass laws to control them. Two other factors also contribute. Nearly 70% of land in America is privately owned. And it is difficult for lawmakers to force breeding and hunting laws on private landowners. Secondly, it is hard to define a wild pig.

In some states, laws are being introduced to redefine the term “wild animal” to keep out wild pigs. This is good news for those raising pigs for hunting, but less are to those who consider them pests whose number should be limited. Meanwhile, discussions continue over how to deal with this problem.

【1】People are not permitted to hunt wild pigs freely in ________.

A. Texas  B. Michigan

C. Missouri  D. Louisiana

【2】Why do the game raisers prefer raising wild pigs to deer?

A. It's difficult to raise deer.

B. Wild pigs are in large numbers.

C. Deer are not popular with hunters.

D. They can benefit more from wild pigs.

【3】Which is NOT the reason for the difficulty in controlling wild pigs?

A. The difficulty of passing effective laws.

B. The high percentage of land owned privately.

C. The farmers' unwillingness to shoot wild pigs.

D. The popularity of raising wild pigs in many states.

【4】What is the best title of the text?

A. Why are wild pigs so hard to control?

B. Are wild pigs pests or wild animals?

C. Wild pigs—an increasing danger in the US.

D. How to deal with the problem of wild pigs?
