21、Cyberspace （网络空间）is constantly developing and presenting new opportunities, as the desire of businesses to quickly adopt new technologies, such as using the Internet to open new channels and adopting cloud services, provides vast opportunity. But, it also brings unexpected risks and unintended consequences that can have a potentially negative effect.
Hardly a day goes by without news of a new cyber threat. Unfortunately, businesses tend to misjudge how much risk they face from cyber-crimes and how quickly this risk can develop. For them, the commercial, reputational and financial risks that go with cyberspace presence are real and growing every day.
So all businesses need to do now is establish cyber security within their organization, right?
Establishing cyber security alone is not enough. Nowadays, it is not very difficult for attackers to break security and stop the overall business system. Preventive measures are not enough to stop them. With the advancement of technology, hackers （黑客）have been changing and developing. So business risk management should include risk resilience （复原力）so that businesses can respond to any damaging cyberspace activity. Cyber resilience helps businesses successfully recover to their pre-attack business processes and business operations.
Building cyber resilience is not easy. A key finding of an authentic cyber-resilience report is that no organisation can respond effectively on its own to the threats from cyberspace. Organisations must work together to share intelligence and resources. In this way, the quality, usability and authenticity of intelligence will be greatly improved.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To describe the development of cyberspace.
B．To show the great contributions from business.
C．To explain the technologies adopted by businesses.
D．To draw attention to potential dangers from cyberspace.
【2】What's the author's concern about the businesses?
A．Awareness of safety.
B．Financial conditions.
C．Commercial management.
D．Judgement of development.
【3】Why is cyber resilience currently necessary?
A．It can prevent attacks.
B．Threats are always transforming.
C．Cyber security doesn't work now.
D．It keeps all the hackers off the internet.
【4】What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．An organization alone can build effective resilience.
B．True resilience requires joined efforts from organizations.
C．There is a great amount of difficulty in building resilience.
D．The cyberspace threat is nothing when cooperation is used.
22、A bird called hermit warbler breeds（繁殖）along the U.S.West Coast. They all kind of look the same and they have a cute little yellow head and a gray body. Typically, birds sing the same one song within one region because the song attracts mates. And different regions can have slightly different dialects of the song. But recently biologists noticed that there are some places that are exceptions to this rule-in some places, there is more than one song in the same place. “So we were curious why that would be the case.” Brett Furnas, a bio-statistician at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said.
To investigate, Furnas and his team recorded lots of hermit warbler’s songs. In 10 years, they went to 100 different locations throughout the state and all the different potential habitats of the species. The researchers analyzed all the hermit warbler songs they collected and discovered that the hermit warbler doesn’t just break the usual one-song-per-region rule-they positively demolish it, for the researchers found, actually, an amazing 35 different dialects across the state.
But why would the bird repeatedly “alter its song” when any changes could affect its ability to attract a mate? Basically, hermit warblers are very sensitive to fire in the short term, so they will abandon an area temporarily, even if it’s just a low-severity fire that doesn’t destroy the whole stand. And then other hermit warblers singing different dialects move into this area. And then they end up, maybe a few years later, with two or more different dialects in the same place.
Furnas says that such musical diversity might actually work in the hermit warblers’ favor. “They may have greater resiliency（恢复力）to things like climate change. So understanding that helps us to make better conservation decisions to protect biodiversity. But it’s also what makes the outdoors interesting and a beautiful place to be, because even though you might not know it’s a hermit warbler, your experience outdoors is enriched by that diversity.”
【1】What is the purpose of Furnas’ research on hermit warbler?
A．To figure out how the bird breeds.
B．To study the one-song-per-region rule.
C．To find why its songs differ within one region.
D．To investigate different habitats of the bird.
【2】What does “demolish” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．To show the rule is wrong.
B．To prove the rule to be true.
C．To explain what the rule means.
D．To make the rule difficult to understand.
【3】Why does hermit warbler frequently have its song “changed”?
A．Because of the food shortage.
B．Because of the less-severe wildfire.
C．Because of the need to attract a mate.
D．Because of the competition for habitats.
【4】What does the last paragraph talk about?
A．The effect climate change has on birds.
B．The importance of biodiversity protection.
C．The ways to enrich your outdoor experience.
D．The significance of the musical diversity of hermit warbler.
23、 A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to “read” human personalities.
The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by complex artificial intelligence algorithms(算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and Published in the scientific Journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.
“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,” wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team follows 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determines their personality traits(特点) with “well-established questionnaires” for determining personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.
The researchers fed the data into their Al algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits, such as “neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as perceptual(感知的) curiosity”, the scientists wrote.
“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines,” Loetscher said.
“People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today’s robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information,” Loetscher said in a statement quoted by Indian Express. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals.”
The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.
【1】What do the underlined words “peer into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

【2】How did the researchers conduct the research?
A. It was carried out in a lab.
B. 42 subjects’ eye movements were recorded.
C. The students’ daily movements were tracked.
D. Its subjects’ personalities were determined by computer.
【3】What can we know according to Tobias Loetscher?
A. Robots and computers are socially conscious.
B. People care less about improved, personalized services.
C. Today’s robots and computers can accustom to non-verbal information.
D. The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
