21、Misfortune is a part of life. Dealing with challenges and overcoming difficulties are something we all encounter, from childhood until old age. People who remain calm in the face of misfortune have what psychologists call resilience. Resilient people experience the same amount of stress as others. 【1】. Resilient people make lemonade when life gives them lemons. They always find alternate solutions to a problem.
Resilience is like a muscle. Even if you consider yourself resilient, you may need to develop and strengthen it. To build resilience, experts suggest the following list:
●Nurture ( 培 育 ) relationships
Set up and maintain a support network before you need it. 【2】, a supportive friend with good listening skills can make a big difference. And if you want your friends and family to support your resilience, remember to support theirs too.
● 【3】
When somebody needs you, you just cope with stress that much better. Your sense of purpose doesn’t have to come from school or work. It can also come from hobbies or volunteer projects, like cleaning up litter in a neighborhood park.
●Don’t try to remove misfortune completely
Resilience usually refers to how we handle serious misfortune, but our reactions to big problems may be informed partly by the many smaller setbacks we face in daily life. 【4】.
【5】. Think about the things that help you deal with stress, which can also help you become more resilient. Healthy habits such as getting good sleep, doing breathing exercises, … these all help us achieve greater mental balance, allowing us to successfully ride out the storms we encounter on the great sea of life.
A．This list is endless
B．Find meaning in stress
C．Find a sense of purpose
D．When misfortune strikes
E．When conflicts between friends exist
F．The only difference is that they are not overcome by it
G．Everyday stress may gradually improve our adaptive systems
22、 Rivers are earthly arteries(要道) for the nutrients, deposits and freshwater that sustain healthy, diverse ecosystems. Their influence extends in multiple dimensions—not only along their length but belowground to aquifers(蓄水层) and periodically into nearby floodplains.
They also provide vital services for people by fertilizing agricultural land and feeding key fisheries and by acting as transportation corridors. But in efforts to ease ship passage, protect communities from flooding, and draw off water for drinking and irrigation, humans have increasingly constrained and broken these crucial water ways. “We try to control rivers as much as possible,” says Gunther Grill, a hydrologist at McGill University.
In new research published in May in Nature, Grill and his colleagues analyzed the barriers to 12 million total kilometers of rivers around the world. The team developed an index(指数) that evaluates six aspects of connectivity—from physical fragmentation (by dams, for example) to flow regulation (by dams or levees) to water consumption—along a river’s various dimension. Rivers whose indexes meet a certain threshold(临界值) for being largely able to follow their natural patterns were considered freeflowing.
The researchers found that among rivers longer than 1,000 kilometers (which tend to be some of those most important to human activities), only 37 percent are not blocked along their entire lengths. Most of them are in areas with a minimal human presence, including the Amazon and Congo basins and the Arctic. On the contrary, most rivers shorter than 100 kilometers appeared to flow freely—but the data on them are less comprehensive, and some barriers might have been missed. Only 23 percent of the subset of the longest rivers that connect to the ocean are uninterrupted. For the rest, human infrastructure is starving estuaries(河口) and deltas (such as the Mississippi Delta) of key nutrients. The world's estimated 2.8 million dams are the main cause, controlling water flow and trapping deposits.
The new research could be used to better understand how proposed dams, levees and other such projects might impact river connectivity, as well as where to remove these fixtures to best restore natural flow. It could also help inform our approach to rivers as the climate changes, says Anne Jefferson, a hydrologist at Kent State University, who was not involved in the work. Existing infrastructure, she says, “has essentially been built to a past climate that we are not in anymore and are increasingly moving away from.”
【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a function of rivers?
A.Easing ship passage. B.Fertilizing agricultural land.
C.Transporting people or goods. D.Sustaining healthy ecosystems.
【2】What does the underlined word “constrained” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.Exhausted. B.Restricted.
C.Consumed. D.Expanded.
【3】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”．
A.earthly arteries B.human activities
C.entire lengths D.unblocked rivers
【4】What does Anne Jefferson mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A.Existing infrastructure has been perfectly built.
B.Existing infrastructure doesn't depend on the past climate.
C.Existing infrastructure determines the future climate.
D.Existing infrastructure doesn’t fit the changing climate.
23、 Is there a strange something high up in the world’s tallest mountains? If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man? No one knows. This mystery has puzzled the world for years.
In 1887, a mountain climber found large footsteps in the snow. They looked like the footsteps of a very large man. But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow!
In 1906, another climber saw more footsteps. He saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As he watched, it ran away very quickly. Fifteen years later, a newspaper had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “snowman” walk slowly in the snow. He said it looked like a very large man.
From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back the pictures of large footsteps. The pictures showed clearly that the snowman walked on two legs. So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an apeman (猿人)? And the mystery keeps growing. Some day, we may find out just what it is that makes the largest footsteps.
【1】The passage is about ________.
A．some mountain climbers

【3】Why did the mystery grow when a mountain climber brought back pictures of large footsteps?
A．They were the footsteps of an apeman.
B．They were the footsteps of a snowman.

D．People still don’t know who made the footsteps.
【4】Which is the best title?

24、Every year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe there’s spyware on their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess: Security company Splash-Data reports that the most popular passwords in 2015 were 123456 and password.
Fear not: It is a lot easier than you might think to set up proper defenses. In fact, you can easily do it all a weekend. Here’s how.
Clean Your Computer And Smart-phone
Before you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy-or malware that may have already infected your system. Go with AVG Free Antivirus (free. AVg.com) or Avast! (avast.com) - each is free. Run a full system scan. This can take over an hour, so start it before settling into other plans. When you return to your computer, clear out anything that shouldn’t be there with a few simple steps (the program will guide you). These days, it’s also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spy-ware, but Android users should download the Lookout app (lookout.com) to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.
Security Your Wi-Fi
Now that your computer is clean, you should plug any holes in your home network. It’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection - that’s why you want to be careful when using public Wi-Fi. For your home, the Federal Communications Commission recommends a few steps. Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it’s a good idea to refresh your setting. You may have to refer to the instructions for your wireless router or call tech support for help. Different routers will have different setup pages, so the actual step-by-step will vary, but the end result will be the same.
Dig Deep with Your Passwords
Everything you just accomplished could be for nothing if a thief has your existing passwords, so you need to change them for every service you use. Try it when you find yourself on those sites anyway.
What you’ve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and case when possible. They should be close to random, and there should be a different one for each website you use. Doing this, and keeping track of it all, is a pain - which is why people don’t do it and wind up with stolen identities. Try Dashlane (dashlane.com), a password manager with powerful encryption（加密）that can securely keep track of the most ridiculous codes you can come up with. Best of all, it logs you into sites automatically, so there’s no need to worry about all those obscure keystrokes. Whew!
Never Answer Unwanted Email
Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal - never go to a site from a random email and start shopping online. Go to the site through a known URL or by searching for it on a search engine first.
Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for “in real life” can still be used uninfluenced.
Don’t store information on any store’s website. It may be conventional but it’s also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.
