21、Top Trends in IT for 2021
Quantum computing
Like its name suggests, quantum computing is based on the principles of quantum theory.
Different from traditional computers, quantum computers can handle complex operations at speeds much faster than traditional computers without needing as much energy.
Quantum computers have proven to be especially helpful during the pandemic of COVID-19. For instance, they were used to search for potential vaccines and find other treatments to help affected people. Its potential will be explored more in 2021.
Working from home
"There is no real going back to normal,” Gerard Grech, CEO of networking company Tech Nation, told Wired magazine, "The pandemic has given us an opportunity to rethink how we work and why.”
After working from home for much of 2020, some companies noticed an increase in productivity, when their employees worked remotely. Not only that, but providing this option can also help cut down operating costs for companies.
This is great news for workers, too, as many people have wanted more flexibility with their work. More types of workspaces with work from home options will grow rapidly this year.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity has recently become more important because people are more dependent on working online. In fact, according to Forbes, hackers took advantage of the pandemic and increased cyber-attacks worldwide.
One solution is the cybersecurity mesh. This method puts a security barrier around each individual instead of around the company or organization.
Going into 2021 and beyond, cybersecurity will become important as our world becomes even more digitalized and interconnected.
【1】How is a quantum computer different from a traditional one?
A．A quantum computer takes less space.
B．A quantum computer needs more energy.
C．A quantum computer operates at a higher speed.
D．A quantum computer costs less.
【2】Which is NOT the benefit of working from home?
A．An improvement in productivity.

24、 I’m learning to drive in Switzerland. I think it will be a good idea to learn now, because I have plenty of free time and I have earned a little money to pay for lessons. I never learnt when I lived in the UK, so luckily driving on the “wrong” side isn’t a problem.
However, there are a lot of rules to remember. When you see a road to your right and there are no white lines on the ground, the cars to your right have the right to go before your car and you have to stop for them. In practice, lots of people forget this and either wait for each other while both drivers try to remember what to do, or beep (鸣喇叭) at each other if both try to go at the same time!
When you drive round a roundabout, you should check all your mirrors. To remember how to do this, I often count them aloud—one, two, three—then a second glance at my blind spot when I’m in the roundabout. One friend came driving with me and after about an hour asked why on earth I was counting. He had passed his test so long ago,but he couldn’t remember ever having to check three mirrors!
Driving still seems scary to me so I drive quite slowly. I also don’t know the countryside roads very well and don’t know what’s coming up round the corner or over the next hill. I drive slowly so I feel safe, but my driving instructor tells me to speed up or cars will bump into me from behind when trying to drive through a dangerous place. So driving slowly is just as dangerous as driving fast!
I’m not a very practical person, so learning to drive has been a challenge. I don’t have a lot of confidence and find it quite demotivating to do something that doesn’t come naturally to me. To make driving more fun and interesting, I learn in Swiss German, so my instructor gives me instructions in Swiss. This way I’ve tricked myself into enjoying driving and hopefully I will pass the test!
【1】What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A.It isn’t a proper time for the author to take driving lessons now.
B.Driving on the “wrong” side doesn’t influence the author.
C.The author is too poor to pay for driving lessons in Switzerland.
D.It is easy for the author to get confused about the driving rules in Switzerland.
【2】Why does the author often counts “one, two, three” aloud when driving round a round about?
A.to remind himself to check the mirrors B.to speed up
C.to drive through a dangerous place D.to make driving more interesting
【3】What does the underlined word “demotivating” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Encouraging. B.Amazing.
C.Exciting. D.Discouraging.
25、Never criticize someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes. During the past twenty-five years, I’ve often found that the message used to be on my fridge has helped me see _________ from a different view.

_________ how tired Wendy appeared, I commented that perhaps we should forgive her. She was _________ having a bad day, and it wasn’t worth holding a grudge (怨恨) against her if we weren’t _________ of what led to her unusual behaviour. A week later, I _________ that Wendy had a serious illness. Wendy wasn’t being __________ to us but she had just received very bad news.
Whether it’s a family member who let me __________, a friend who betrayed (背叛) my __________ , or a difficult colleague, the words __________ me. Although it’s not always easy to __________, I’ve been able to get rid of a lot of __________ over the years by focusing on my magical sentence.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed (离开) my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room; my heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. John, Bryce, Ro, I thought, everybody is on here except me. At that moment, I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the basketball team but I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Hey coach, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct?” I asked anxiously.
“Yes. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year,” the coach replied without the slightest bit of regret.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears building in my eyes, and I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I slowly walked away, every one of them jumping around with excitement after seeing that they made the team.
I felt dead inside，like nothing mattered. I trudged (步履艰难) through the rest of school; walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. My mind was also blank for the rest of the school day; everything my teachers said went in one ear and out the other.
After school, as I walked to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw all my friends gathered near the back of the lot，celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them, trying not to think about being one of the only people in our friend group to not make the team.
注意：
