A
Mst passwrds are still weak. A study by Specps fund that 98.5% f real-wrld passwrds are bjectively weak. Only 1.5% f passwrds made it int the “strng” zne, defined as being at least 15 characters lng and using tw r mre character types. Only 3.3% f passwrds were lnger than 15 characters. This means that mst passwrds can be cracked quickly using inexpensive pwerful cmputer tls.
The mst cmmn passwrds were eight characters lng with just tw character types, such as “Summer22” r “Office99”. Abut 8% f all passwrds fell int this dangerusly basic zne. Clse behind were eight-character passwrds with nly ne character type, mst ften letters alne, and in many cases lwercase letters nly. These accunted fr anther 7.6% f all passwrds.
When passwrd length is held cnstant, security depends largely n the variety f characters used. The table belw illustrates this effect.
In additin t character variety, passwrd length als plays an imprtant rle in security. Using passwrds f 16 t 20 characters with at least tw different character types-letters, numbers, r symbls-pushes the number f pssible cmbinatins int the trillins. Even high- end cracking farms wuld take years r centuries t break them. In reality, hwever, weak passwrds are still very cmmn. As Darren James, Senir Prduct Manager at Specps, ntes, “Many users are still lw-hanging fruit fr nline thieves, wh can crack their passwrds in secnds.”
21. What percentage f passwrds are the mst cmmn type?
A. 1.5%.B. 3.3%.C. 7.6%.D. 8%.
22. What is the main factr the table cmpares?
A. The size f set.B. Use f letters.
C. The cracking methd.D. Passwrd length.
23. Why des the authr qute Darren James?
A. T intrduce his cmpany.B. T warn the nline thieves.
C. T stress the wrrying reality.D. T criticize users fr pr chices.

Yur decisin was slely abut saving lives.
Tday, as a father f tw grwing children, I can truly understand the magnitude f yur sacrifice. I can nly imagine the strm f emtins yu must have battled. Did yu questin if it was the right decisin?

Tearing apart the plitical divide, I have lnged t meet yu, Mm. I have travelled t Chennai several times since receiving Karthick’s heart, always hping t smehw find a way t Cimbatre. But my medical visa restricts me frm travelling utside Chennai. Yu might be wndering why I dn’t even call yu? Names f dnrs and recipients are kept cnfidential, and I feel helpless.
Allah tells us in The Qur’an, “Whever saves a life, it is as if they saved all f humanity.” Mm, yu embdy it. I lve yu, Mm, frever and always.
Yurs always,
Faisal

A study led by Prfessr Michael T. French shws that there is a strng cnnectin between high schl grades and hw much mney peple earn later in life. The research, which was published in the Eastern Ecnmic Jurnal, fund that each additinal pint n a high schl grade pint average (GPA) can increase a persn’s earnings by abut 12% fr men and 14% fr wmen when they becme adults.
Previus research has already shwn that higher levels f educatin are cnnected t higher earnings, but the exact relatinship between high schl grades and incme wasn’t well understd. French ntes that while gd grades are imprtant fr getting int cllege, this study is the first t shw their impact n hw much mney peple make later in life.
The study used infrmatin frm the Natinal Lngitudinal Survey f Adlescent Health, lking at the recrds, demgraphics (人口特征) , and backgrunds f ver 10, 000 peple. Their educatinal backgrund and incme were checked when the participants were between 24 and 34 years ld, which was abut ten years after they finished high schl.
The study lked at data fr men and wmen separately and fund that wmen generally have higher high schl GPAs, but men earn mre mney each year. Hwever, n matter the gender, a higher GPA makes it twice as likely fr smene t finish cllege.
It’s als interesting t nte that withut cnsidering GPA and ther perfrmance measures, students frm disadvantaged backgrunds seem t have lwer levels f educatin cmpared t their peers (同龄人) . Hwever, when these factrs are included, these grups f students achieve higher levels f educatin if they have similar high schl GPAs t their peers. This culd be because students with gd grades, regardless f their initial sciecnmic status, are mre mtivated t g t cllege.
By understanding the imprtance f high schl perfrmance, teachers and cunselrs (辅导员) can help students see hw it affects bth their shrt-term gals like getting int cllege and their lng-term gals like hw much they’ll earn as adults. The findings f the research are imprtant fr plicymakers and educatrs wh want t help students succeed.
28. What is the main value f French’s study?
A. Prving the value f higher educatin.B. Measuring GPA’s effect n future incme.
C. Finding wmen get higher grades than men.D. Using a large natinal survey fr research.
29. What is paragraph 4 intended t d?
A. T questin the reliability f the data.B. T stress the great imprtance f cllege.
CT fcus n the issue f gender inequality.D. T present tw key findings f the study.
30. What is suggested abut disadvantaged students with gd grades?
A. They lack the drive t attend cllege.
B. Their GPAs shuld be assessed differently.
C. They can achieve educatinal success equally.
D. Their family backgrund still hlds them back.
31. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. The Gender Gap in Grades and Incme
B. Financial Backgrund Affects Achievement
C. High Schl Grades matter fr Future Earnings

Pet and Harvard Prfessr Henry Wadswrth Lngfellw famusly said, “Music is the universal language f mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right.
The study cnducted by a research team fund that peple arund the wrld culd identify lullabies (摇篮曲), dance sngs, and cmfrting sngs — regardless f the sngs’ cultural rigin — after hearing just a 14-secnd clip (片段). The finding suggests that nt nly is music deeply rted in human nature, but that sme types f sngs break cultural bundaries.
The findings are based n a wide-reaching experiment in which 750 nline participants in 60 cuntries listened t brief clips f sngs cllected frm nearly 90 small scieties arund the wrld, including hunter-gatherers and sme special farmers. Participants then answered six questins, rating each clip accrding t whether they believed the sng was used fr dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, r expressing lve. Tw additinal uses — murning (哀悼) the dead and telling a stry — were included as cntrls.
The data shwed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the randm sampling f each sng, and the shrt duratin f the samples, peple were able t reliably infer the sngs’ functins, and that their ratings were cnsistent acrss the wrld.
The findings ran cunter t expert expectatins. The team had als asked prfessinals, including perfrmers, cmpsers, psychlgists, and scientists abut whether they believed peple wuld be able t identify the sng types. Their answer was n. And nt nly that, but they predicted that peple’s respnses will be incnsistent with ne anther. “That’s nt what we fund,” the researchers said.
The researchers als wanted t knw whether listeners were recgnizing certain nn-musical characteristics f the sngs. T test that, the team cnducted a secnd study. This time, they asked listeners abut a number f cntextual and musical features, ranging frm the gender f the singers t the rhythm f the sng.
When data frm the tw studies were cmbined, the results shwed that sngs f the same functin shared similar characteristics — lullabies, fr example, tended t be slwer and simpler than dance music — suggesting that smething abut musical characteristics crsses cultural bundaries.
32. What did the participants d in the first study?
A. They distinguished functins f the sngs.
B. They identified the cultural rigins f the sngs.
C. They recgnized the nn-musical characteristics f the sngs.
D. They srted the sngs accrding t the gender f the singers.
33. What des the underlined part “ran cunter t” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Were equal t.B. Were similar t.
C. Were superir t.D. Were ppsite t.
34. Why did the researchers carry ut the secnd study?
A. T test the musical knwledge f a wider audience.
B. T cllect mre diverse sngs frm varius cultures.
C. T cnfirm the surprising results frm the first ne.
D. T explre the underlying reasns behind the findings.
35. What can we learn frm the tw studies?
A. Listeners recgnize music by its rhythm.
B. Smething abut music might be universal.
C. Dance music is usually slwer and simpler.
D. Cultural similarities lead t similar musical features.

At twenty-fur, I mved t America, a massive 11,000 kilmeters away frm my hmeland. The initial excitement f a new start sn faded, replaced by the harsh reality f fitting int an unfamiliar envirnment. Since I wrked frm hme, my wrld was reduced t the fur walls f my small apartment and a glwing laptp screen. I spent my days in vide meetings where peple spke a language that was still a bit t fast fr me t fully grasp. When the screens went dark, the silence f the rms seemed t ech my wn grwing sense f displacement. I was physically in a new cuntry, but mentally, I was still searching fr a place t land.
Desperate t break this suffcating (令人窒息的) islatin, I signed up as a vlunteer at a lcal animal shelter. My supervisr, a kind wman named Sarah, intrduced me t the residents. In the farthest crner f the cat sectin, she stpped befre a small cage. “This is Luna,” she whispered. “She was fund abandned in a rainy alley. She’s terrified f everything.”
Luna was a small, grey-and-white cat with large, lnely green eyes. Whenever I apprached, she wuld cwer (畏缩) in the crner, her tiny bdy shaking at the slightest sund. Sarah tld me that my nly task was t help Luna feel safe again. Fr the first tw weeks, I sat utside her cage fr hurs every day. I brught my laptp and wrked there, r I wuld speak t her sftly abut the hme I missed, describing the busy streets and the scent f my mther’s cking. I wanted t cmfrt her, but the invisible wall between us remained.
One strmy afternn, a sudden crash f thunder shk the shelter’s rf. The lights flickered, and the animals began t cry ut in fear. I lked at Luna, wh trembled mre than ever, her breath cming in quick, tiny gasps (喘气) as she tried t hide behind a small wden bxinhercage.

Traditinal Culture in the Digital Age
In the digital age, traditinal Chinese culture is experiencing a new frm f preservatin. Fr example, the Palace Museum uses digital technlgy t dcument each cultural relic in detail, allwing peple t explre them n virtual screens. This nt nly lets them “live frever” digitally but als cnveys the brilliance f Chinese civilizatin. Thrugh such technlgy, we can explre restred ancient relics at any time.
Digital tls thus bridge the past and the future f Chinese culture. They make cultural resurces easier t access and mre engaging fr the public. By cmbining technlgy with respect fr traditin, I believe we can ensure that traditinal culture cntinues t live.
【答案】
I pened the cage dr and sat quietly beside her. I didn’t reach ut, but simply leaned against the wall, humming a sft tune frm my childhd against the sund f the rain lashing the windws. I expected t wait a lng time, yet t my great surprise, I sn felt a faint, warm pressure against my knee. Luna had crept ut frm the shadws, her emerald eyes fixed n mine. With a trembling heart, I tentatively strked her sft fur. She didn’t run; instead, she let ut a tiny, shaky purr. In that small, shared space, I realized I had finally gained her trust, and the cld knt f lneliness in my chest began t disslve.
Luna’s prgress sn began t change me as well. Watching her transfrm frm a terrified stray int a cnfident cmpanin gave me a new perspective. If Luna culd adapt t her new envirnment, I realized I culd d the same. Inspired by her bravery, I began t step ut f my shell, jining ther vlunteers fr lunch and sharing stries abut my culture. My nce- quiet apartment was n lnger a cage, but a hme filled with warmth. I finally understd that a sense f belnging isn’t smething yu find n a map; it’s smething yu build thrugh cnnectin, ne small step at a time.
