21．（6分）The best password managers
LastPass
Perhaps the best-known password manger made news last November by announcing that its app would be free across all platforms. “By offering LastPass for free across all your devices, we’re making it that much easier for everyone to make good password habits the rule, while resetting the expectations of what a great password management experience should be in a multi-device world,” Joe Siegrist, vice president of LastPass, wrote in a blog post.
Dashlane
You need to pay $39.99 for the updated version, which allows you to sync(同步)and share with all your devices. The free version is great if you just need the manager on one device. Dashlane provides a dashboard that judges how secure your passwords are, so you can see in real time if your new password is more secure than the old one, and it’ll automatically change your password for you if needed.
Keepass
One big reason why might choose Keepass is that Keepass doesn’t use a cloud to keep track of all of your passwords. Instead, all your information is kept on your own computer. That’s bad news if your computer dies or gets stolen and you haven’t backed it up, but if you’re cautious about a cloud-based system, this open-source platform might be the way to go.
Sticky Password
If safety and security are your biggest concerns, Sticky Password is a good option, especially considering its team from AVG Technologies. Perhaps its biggest feature is that you should sync your devices using your own Wi-Fi, meaning the passwords wouldn’t ever leave your home network.
1、LastPass is a kind of password manager that _____.
A．was designed last November
B．helps users develop good living habits
C．offers users good management experience
D．helps users experience password management
2、What is an advantage of Dashlane?
A．Users can get the updated version for free
B．It helps users change the password regularly
C．Users can use it on two different devices for free
D．It helps users evaluate the safety of the password
3、One may choose Keepass if ___________.
A．he is afraid of his computer being stolen
B．he likes keeping his information in his own e-mail
C．he doesn’t trust the safety of the cloud-based system
D．he doesn’t like spending money on password managers
4、What will be advised to do when people update Sticky Password?
A．Consider the safety of its team
B．Use the network in their own homes
C．Keep the new password written down
D．Call the engineers from AVG Technologies
22．（8分） I was only three when my real mom passed away. The last thing I remember about my real mom was watching the ambulance taking her away from us. After my mom died, my dad started abusing my brothers and me. I was sent away to live with one relative after another but no one would ever want to keep me for long. I was miserable almost all of the time. Finally, when I was five, my mom’s sister, Aunt Bonnie, and her husband, Uncle Jesse, said that they would take me in, and they became my legal guardians.
From then on, they became my family. I called Aunt Bonnie Mom and Uncle Jesse Dad. When I was six, Uncle Jesse was diagnosed with cancer and finally died shortly after my seventh birthday. I cried for days after losing him and still clung to the present he gave me on my sixth birthday.
Shortly after Uncle Jesse passed away, we moved to a smaller house in a new town. I spent a lot of time alone because Mom was always working. One summer, the beginning of a miracle happened when my mom met a great and funny guy, David. They got married and now I gained two more brothers.
When I look back on it now I have come a long way from being a sad and lonely girl to being the person I am today---part of a big, happy family. I can’t imagine what my life would have been like if Aunt Bonnie hadn’t taken me in. She promised to love me and take care of me---no matter what--- and she has done exactly that. I have learned about strength, dedication and love. She has been there to hold me when I’m sick, to help me with homework, to support me when I need her. In return, I love her more than she’ll ever know. Without her in my life, I would have been a motherless child, but because of her I have a great family and the best mom in the world.

D．David, the new father, was wealthy enough to support the family
3、Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

C．My New Dad and Mom D．A Motherless Child
23．（8分） That the success of humans as a species depends to a large extent on our ability to cooperate in groups is widely believed. Much more so than any other animal, people are able to coordinate and join their forces and actions to produce mutual benefits.
New research involving Dr Molleman, an expert at the University of Nottingham, suggests that successful cooperation in groups depends on how people gather information about their peers, and how they base their cooperative decisions on it.
Biologists wonder how cooperation could have developed by natural selection: it is puzzling how cooperation can be beneficial when it is possible to behave selfishly and take advantage of the cooperative efforts of your group. Psychologists and economists try hard to understand why many people are willing to sacrifice their own welfare to benefit their social environment. They asked questions like “How do people make decisions when their actions can affect the welfare of others?” “How people determine their behavior when they have to cooperate in groups?”.
Dr Pieter Van Den Berg from the University of Groningen said, “From previous research we know that some people are ‘majority-oriented (以……为中心)’ and tend to look at the behavior of the majority in their group, whereas others are ‘success-oriented’ and try to find out what kind of behavior pays off best for themselves.”
Dr Molleman, from the center of the Decision Research and Experimental Economics, said, “It turns out that behavior in groups of success-oriented people was much more selfish than it in groups of majority-oriented people. As a consequence, the people in the majority-oriented groups tended to cam more money in the experiment since they cooperated more.”
1、Compared with other animals, human beings are capable of ________.
A．communicating well with others B．working together with each other
C．surviving some natural disasters D．getting access to various information
2、What are the psychologists and economists most interested in?
A．Whether people’s personal efforts will pay off eventually.
B．How cooperation has developed over a long lime naturally.
C．Why people offer to affect those around them unselfishly.
D．What benefit that good cooperation can bring immediately.
3、We can infer that the success-oriented people________.
A．are careful to select a group to join
B．are likely to be successful in the future
C．pay more attention to the result of their effort
D． have some skills in collecting useful information
4、What is the new finding of the research?
A．Having good relationship gets us to live fullest life.
B．Focusing on individual success makes people selfish.
C．Being considerate can ensure our long-term benefit.
D．Mastering social skills help create harmonious society.

25．（10分）Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.
As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup!
1、Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?
A．To earn some money for the family.
