21、During a ransomware (勒索软件) attack, attackers enter a target’s computer system and encrypt (加密) its data. They then demand a payment before they will free the system. Ransomware is a collective problem, and solving it will require joint action from companies, the U.S. government and international partners.
In 2020 the Federal Bureau of Investigation received more than 2,400 reports of ransomware attacks, which cost victims at least $29 million. The numbers underestimate the total impact of ransomware because not all organizations are willing to report it when they fall victim to this kind of crime. Even these limited statistics, however, show the increasing fearlessness of ransomware attackers: the number of attacks in 2020 increased by 20 percent compared with that of the previous year, and the amount of money paid out more than tripled.
As long as victims keep paying, attackers will keep profiting from this type of attack. But cybersecurity experts are divided on whether the government should prohibit the paying of ransoms. Such a ban would discourage attackers, but it would also place some organizations in a moral dilemma. For, say, a hospital, unlocking the computer systems as quickly as possible could be a matter of life and death for patients, and the fastest option may be to pay up.
Other solutions are more straightforward and involve pushing organizations to protect themselves better. Cybersecurity defenses make it harder for attackers to access systems. Segmenting (分割) one’s network means that breaking through to one part of the system does not make all data immediately available. And regular backups allow a company to function even if its original data are encrypted.
All these measures, however, require resources that not all organizations have access to. Meanwhile, ransomware people are adopting increasingly advanced techniques. Some work for weeks to gain entry to a company’s network and then enter their system, finding the most vital data to hold hostage (人质). Some groups deliberately compromise an organization’s data backups.
Others sell instructions and software to help other attackers launch their own attacks. As a result, security personnel must engage in a constant game of cat and mouse.
【1】What do the numbers listed in paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A．The amount of money that companies paid.
B．The serious situations about the ransomware attack.
C．The companies that have been attacked by ransomware.
D．The profit that attackers got from ransomware.
【2】What is the attitude of cybersecurity experts to prohibiting the paying of ransoms?
A．Favorable.
B．Uncaring.
C．Mixed.
D．Opposed.
【3】What can we know from paragraph 4?
A．How attackers enter a target’s computer system.
B．Why we should pay more attention to cybersecurity.
C．Which kind of computer system is easy to attack.
D．What we can do to deal with ransomware attacks.
【4】What does the last sentence in the text imply?

22、My husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our work was strictly done at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our business to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.
One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners as usual. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing — calling my husband.
Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen (圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner, “Am I going to die?” he replied, “Finally.”

23、 If the lady in the Mona Lisa painting could talk, she could tell us why she was smiling for the pose, isn’t it? But, of course, that is not possible because she is just a painting.
However, recently, Samsung Labs in Moscow demonstrated an Al program that could create a video of a person talking just from one single profile picture. The result? A talking Mona Lisa, thanks to a technology, known as deepfake!
The word “deepfake” is a combination of the words “deep learning” and “fake”. Deep learning refers to the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence to create images of human faces. The word was used first in 2017 when an anonymous person using the name “deepfake” began to post images of celebrities’ faces on other people’s bodies.
To start with, video recordings of a person are broken down into the smallest levels of detail that capture how their mouth and facial features move when they pronounce a sound like “oo” or “ah”. These, along with the 3-D model of the lower face, are then put together and the person can be made to say words he (or she) never did.
Deepfakes use a technology called generative adversarial networks (GAN). This system uses two separate artificial intelligence systems that are trained such that one generates the images and the other attempts to tell if they are fake. The machines continue to teach each other over and over again until one produces a video that the other cannot tell it is fake!
Fake news would easily go out of hand if people believed the fake videos as real and it could have political and social effect. There is a lesson here for each of us to be careful about what we post on the Internet. In the future, you might see a picture or video of yourself and may not be able to tell that it is fake! It all just goes to show that seeing is not always believing.
【1】How does the writer develop the third paragraph?
A.By defining a concept. B.By introducing an app.
C.By testing a scientific method. D.By providing different examples.
【2】What can we infer about GAN from the passage?
A.It needs to be trained. B.It can learn all by itself.
C.It produces perfect pictures. D.It is used to identify fake images.
【3】What is implied in the last paragraph?
A.People can use deepfakes to become famous.
B.The public aren’t easily cheated by deepfakes.
C.All of us may become a victim of deepfakes.
D.Deepfakes make what you have done known to all.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Mona Lisa：a Talking Picture
B.Fake Videos：Recording of a Person
C.AI Program：Creating a Video
D.Deepfakes：Believing or Not
24、What if our babies could somehow tell us what they’re thinking about, what they want, and what makes them unhappy? Robyn Holt, researcher for Baby Talk New Zealand, says they can. Holt heard about baby sign language through an advertisement and decided to go along to a workshop (研讨会).
“Sign language is something that’s always interested me, and I thought, it could be really cool to try this with a baby because we are always guessing all the time what they actually want.”
Holt started using baby sign language with her baby son Benjamin, now 12, and within two weeks he started to sign the sign for milk. She has since used it with her two younger sons Dominic, 8, and Matthew, 3.
Baby sign language is nothing new: the practice (which is based on adult sign language) has been out in America for more than 30 years. But it is enjoying a rebirth in New Zealand.
The idea behind baby sign language is that babies do have the ability to communicate their needs if they are given the right tools to do so. Although many mothers develop an intuition (直觉) about whether their baby’s crying is from hunger, tiredness, or pain, baby sign language creates a direct form of communication that unlocks the mystery.
When babies are between 6-months and 12 to 13-months, parents can begin to teach them sign language: use the sign for milk while feeding, and also talk about milk, so that the child begins to make the link (关联) in their brain. Then they can begin to add other signs, i.e. food, sick or pain.
“I know of one parent. Her child was signing the sign for hurt by his mouth, and she realised his first teeth were growing. It makes life so much easier,” said Holt.
【1】Why did Holt go to the baby sign language workshop?
A. To entertain her own children.
B. To better understand babies’ needs.
C. To help babies with language problems.
D. To develop a new system of sign language.
【2】According to the text, baby sign language _____.
A. has been used in New Zealand for 30 years
B. can easily make the parents understood
C. has developed from adult sign language
D. was designed by Robyn Holt
【3】What does the underlined part “the mystery” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The ability to communicate.
B. Mothers’ intuitions.
C. The cause of the baby’s crying.
D. Baby sign language.
【4】Holt mentioned a parent and her child to show baby sign language is _____.
A. helpful B. difficult
C. interesting D. special
