Huang was named lead scientist on China’s deep earth exploration programme developing advanced cameras that can see through the Earth’s crust(外壳) so that it can be analysed without having to dig into it He set up an advanced lab sometimes paying for equipment with his own
money Some described him as a lunatic (a madman) but this passion and drive enabled Huang to push forwards China’s deep earth exploration technology into a worldleading position Huang’s devotion contributed to China’s lunar probe(月球探测器) Yutu being landed on the moon in 2013 and the launch of the spacecrafts Shenzhou11 and Tiangong2 in 2016
Huang＇s health also paid the price for his commitment to his work He began having fainting fits(昏厥) in 2012 but paid them little attention stating he did not have time to go to see a doctor— his work always came first In November 2016 Huang fainted and was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with cancer The disease was so advanced that he had just a couple of months to live

Improve Cloud Security
Sensitive customer data has constantly been found exposed on cloud servers without password protection To ease the problem database software makers have been trying to make security easier for cloud database managers At the Enigma Conference in San Francisco Kenn White a security manager at database software maker MongoDB will describe a new technique called field level encryption(字段级加密) to make data safer on the cloud
Field level encryption works by scrambling data before it’s sent to a cloud database and
rearranging it in order when the data is needed for use The promise of the product is to protect the contents of a cloud database even if bad guys access it
MongoDB’s new feature comes as more and more companies move user data to cloud servers rather than run their own costly data centers It was predicted that cloud computing would be a
214 billion industry by the end of 2019 That would be up more than 17 from 2018 when it was 182 billion
Companies have rushed to the cloud without understanding all of the possible security consequences Many companies have left countless databases exposed revealing personal data A database containing details about who lives in 80 million US households was left unprotected in 2019 just like the data on Facebook users
Database managers want to store their data in an unreadable form but they also want to be able to find specific pieces of information in the database with a simple search term For example someone might want to look up health care patients by their Social Security numbers even if those numbers are stored as random characters To make this possible field level encryption lets database managers encrypt a search term on their machine and send it to the database as a query(搜索词条) The database matches the encrypted version of the search term with the record it’s storing and then sends it back to you
This approach only works with specific kinds of data For example field level encryption isn’t useful for long text entries like notes in a patient’s medical chart because you can’t search for individual words
Still for data like account numbers passwords and government ID numbers field level encryption protects data and maintains a usable database
Most importantly White said it’s simple to set up Database managers turn it on with a onetime configuration(配置) change when they set up the databaseThat’s really powerful he said in an interview
28 The underlined word scrambling in paragraph 2 probably means _
A mixing B collecting C hiding D storing
29 What can field level encryption do
A Secure the safety of Internet pages
B Protect files with a unique style of storage
C Stop bad guys from accessing the database
D Enable companies to store files on the cloud
30 What can be inferred from the passage
A Companies should move user data to cloud servers
B Cloud computing achieved a 17 increase in 2019
C Companies may be unaware of the risks of the cloud
D No companies were willing to run their own data centers
31 The author wrote the passage mainly to _
A present some facts
B offer security advice
C introduce a technique
D recommend a product
D
After years of observing human nature I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent I
have never known an outstanding man who lacked either And I have never known an average man who had both The two belong together
Together these deep human urges count for much more that ambition Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground Like Galileo all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent Why Why Why
Fortunately curiosity and discontent don＇t have to be learned We are born with them and
need only recapture them
The great mansaid Mencius (孟子) is he who does not lose his child＇s heartYet most of us do lose it We stop asking questions We stop challenging custom We just follow the crowd And the crowd desires restful average It encourages us to occupy our own little corner to avoid foolish leaps into the dark to be satisfied
Most of us meet new people and new ideas with hesitation But once having met and liked them we think how terrible it would have been had we missed the chance We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake
How should you start Modestly so as not to become discouraged I think of one friend who couldn＇t arrange flowers to satisfy herself She was curious about how the experts did itNow she is one of the experts writing books on flower arrangement
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses You haven＇t any special ability Most people don＇t There are only a few geniuses You haven＇t any time That＇s good because it＇s always the people with no time who get things done Harriet Stowe mother of six wrote parts of Uncle Tom＇s Cabin while cooking You＇re too old Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78
However you start remember there is no better time to start than right now for you＇ll never be more alive than you are at this moment
32 In writing Paragraph 1 the author aims to
A propose a definition B make a comparison
C present an argument D reach a conclusion
33 What does the example of Galileo tell us
A Trial and error leads to the finding of truth
B Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore
C Creativity results from challenging authority
D Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious
34 What could be the best title or the passage
A Curious Minds Never Feel Contented B Reflections on Human Nature
C The Keys to Achievement D Never Too Late to Learn

A Few Tips for Selfacceptance
We all want it to accept and love ourselves But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach 35 Here＇s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction
* 36 Do not follow the people who make you feel notgoodenough Why do you
follow them Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs Know that your life is your own you are the only you in this world
* Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made We are often ashamed of our shortcomings our mistakes and our failures 37 You will make mistakes time and time again Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better why not offer yourself a compassionate(情心) response That didn＇t go as planned But I tried my best
* Recognize all of your strengths Write them down in a journal Begin to train your brain to
look at strength before weakness List all of your accomplishments and achievements You have a job earned your degree and you got out of bed today 38
* Now that you＇ve listed your strengths list your imperfections Turn the page in your journal Put into words why you feel unworthy why you don＇t feel good enough Now read these words back to yourself 39 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements See how awesome you are
A Where do your start
B Nothing is too small to celebrate
C Remember you are only human
D Set an intention for selfacceptance E Stop comparing yourself with others
F When does the comparison game start
G Feeling upset again

Face it
In much of the western world governments now require people to wear masks when they are in crowded public spaces That is good news for masks could both save lives and allow people to get back to work And to help economies restart safely government should require people to wear face coverings in crowded public spaces
People think of masks as something protecting them from dirty things in the air But in the case of COVID19 their more important job is to protect others from an infected wearer That is because of one of the unusual characteristics of this disease it seems likely that infection by people who have not or not yet developed symptoms(症状) makes up about a third to a half of the cases So even if everybody with symptoms stays at home the virus will still spread Masks block the respiratory droplets(呼吸道飞沫) that carry the virus so make risky situations safer
There are signs that masking is useful Even homemade face coverings can block droplets
Experiments show that a piece of cloth over the mouth and face can block 60 of droplets—not as good as a medical mask but much better than nothing
East Asian countries’ success in controlling the disease argues in favour of masks Wearing masks to protect against pollution or disease is common there so people covered their faces as soon as they were informed of COVID19 In the West maskwearing is alien And in all of the countries where maskwearing is common practice the epidemic (流行病) was quickly controlled This is not unquestionable evidence in favour of masks Other factors distinguish those maskwearing countries from barefaced Western nations some
such as China and South Korea have strict trackandtrace systems and carry out mass coronavirus testing
Yet the combination of this natural global experiment laboratory studies and asymptomatic transmission(症状传播) suggests that masks can help keep people safe Lockdown destroys economies Social distancing damages them Masks cost next to nothing They will not by themselves stop an epidemic Handwashing trackandtrace systems and widespread testing are all crucial too But masks can do their bit to protect people and rebuild economies
40 What is the key job of masks in COVID19 epidemic according to the writer
41 Please paraphrase the underlined sentence in your own words
42 Please underline the inappropriate part in the following statement and explain why
Ø Wearing masks is important and is considered the determining factor in the fight against the epidemic
43 Please briefly present what can be done to fight against COVID19 (about 40 words)

One way to begin is to answer your own excuses You haven＇t any special ability Most people don＇t There are only a few geniuses You haven＇t any time That＇s good because it＇s always the people with no time who get things done Harriet Stowe mother of six wrote parts of Uncle Tom＇s Cabin while cooking You＇re too old Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78
However you start remember there is no better time to start than right now for you＇ll never be more alive than you are at this moment

Face it
In much of the western world governments now require people to wear masks when they are in crowded public spaces That is good news for masks could both save lives and allow people to get back to work And to help economies restart safely government should require people to wear face coverings in crowded public spaces
People think of masks as something protecting them from dirty things in the air But in the case of COVID19 their more important job is to protect others from an infected wearer That is because of one of the unusual characteristics of this disease it seems likely that infection by people who have not or not yet developed symptoms(症状) makes up about a third to a half of the cases So even if everybody with symptoms stays at home the virus will still spread Masks block the respiratory droplets(呼吸道飞沫) that carry the virus so make risky situations safer
There are signs that masking is useful Even homemade face coverings can block droplets
Experiments show that a piece of cloth over the mouth and face can block 60 of droplets—not as good as a medical mask but much better than nothing
East Asian countries’ success in controlling the disease argues in favour of masks Wearing masks to protect against pollution or disease is common there so people covered their faces as soon as they were informed of COVID19 In the West maskwearing is alien And in all of the countries where maskwearing is common practice the epidemic (流行病) was quickly controlled This is not unquestionable evidence in favour of masks Other factors distinguish those maskwearing countries from barefaced Western nations some
such as China and South Korea have strict trackandtrace systems and carry out mass coronavirus testing
Yet the combination of this natural global experiment laboratory studies and asymptomatic transmission(症状传播) suggests that masks can help keep people safe Lockdown destroys economies Social distancing damages them Masks cost next to nothing They will not by themselves stop an epidemic Handwashing trackandtrace systems and widespread testing are all crucial too But masks can do their bit to protect people and rebuild economies
40 What is the key job of masks in COVID19 epidemic according to the writer
41 Please paraphrase the underlined sentence in your own words
42 Please underline the inappropriate part in the following statement and explain why
Ø Wearing masks is important and is considered the determining factor in the fight against the epidemic
43 Please briefly present what can be done to fight against COVID19 (about 40 words)
