22．（8分）They follow you in the street. They ask you for money and they don’t leave you alone when you try to say no. They are the aggressive street-working, fund-raising charity workers, otherwise known as “chuggers”.
The term “chugger” is a combination of two words, “charity” and “mugger”. Chuggers often work in the street. They set up a stall with information about the charity they represent, and they try to get you to donate money to the charity. Typically, they prey on your feelings of guilt, greeting you with questions such as, “Do you care about the planet?” or, “When was the last time you did something for someone else?”
But a survey of their strategies has found that some charity volunteers are far from charitable. “Many chuggers simply refuse to back off when asked to do so,’’ said Brian Jones, a spokesperson for a charity watchdog (监察人). “One of the problems is that some chuggers say they are working as volunteers,” he added. “However, they aren’t really. Most of the 50 chuggers we spoke to showed little interest in anything other than raising the maximum amount of cash in the minimum amount of time. They get paid from this so it makes sense. Also, a fifth of fundraisers had no visible ID and almost a quarter failed to give clear information about the cause they were representing. By employing chuggers who break the law, tell lies or refuse to leave members of the public alone, charities undermine the trust we all instinctively have in them.”
But Shirley Bosworth, chief executive of the Institution of Fundraising said face-to-face fundraising remains “an appropriate and effective method”. “It enables charities to engage with a particular demographic of donor, and it means that charity and donor can enter into a dialogue about what the charity does and how the donor’s money will be used,” she explained.
1、What do chuggers do according to the passage?
A．They rob money of strangers.
B．They cheat you into buying things.
C．They ask you to donate money for charities.
D．They hurt your feelings by asking questions.
2、What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The survey of charity volunteers.
B．The problems with charity volunteers.
C．The basic information about charity volunteers.
D．The attitude Brian Jones takes toward charity volunteers.
3、What does the underlined word “undermine” may probably mean?
A．betray
B．strengthen
C．build
D．weaken
4、How does Shirley Bosworth feel about what chuggers do?
A．It’s useful. B．It’s disgusting.
C．It’s absurd. D．It’s popular.
23．（8分）Yahoo’s sheer size, popularity, and reputation for not having security practices as excellent as its competitors may have made the Internet company an ideal target for Russian spies, according to experts.
“At the very least, Yahoo is a good target for monitoring and intelligence purposes – tracking a person of interest, seeing whom they are communicating with, what about, and so on,” said Jeremiah Grossman, chief of security at Sentinel One. Grossman worked on Yahoo’s security team from 1999 to 2001.
The Justice Department announced charges Wednesday against two Russian spies and two hackers behind the 2014 theft of data connected to half a billion Yahoo accounts, which officials called one of the largest known data leaks in American history. It’s unclear from the Justice Department release what the suspects collected from accessing Yahoo accounts; however, officials noted that “some victim accounts were of predictable interest” to Russia’s federal security service.
Bill Anderon, CEO of computer security company Optio Labs, said that Yahoo’s popularity – plus its treasure of accounts that have set unused for years – put a huge bullseye on the company.
Email accounts are the gateway to plenty of areas in your personal life – from your banking accounts and social networks to finding out who your closest contacts are, Anderson said. At best, it’s a treasure chest worth a fortune to the intelligence community. At worst, it’s at least worth a few cents. Hackers can then sell millions of accounts to spammers, at a few cents each, for a decent payoff, according to experts.
While Yahoo has made huge efforts in strengthening its security in recent years, the company doesn’t have the same reputation for being on the cutting edge of security as Google. Many information security experts have respect for the current security team, but not the Yahoo brand itself, Grossman said. That image makeover may take time.
1、Which may not be the reason for the Yahoo’s 2014 theft of data?
A．Its good reputation for security.
B．Its popularity among Internet users.
C．Its huge numbers of accounts.
D．Its political and commercial value.
2、The underlined part in the fourth paragraph means?
A．brought great profits to the company
B．made the company an easy target
C．caused Yahoo to lose lots of users
D．put the spotlight on the company
3、What can we infer from the text?
A．The current security team will be fired by Yahoo.
B．The Russian government is to blame in the case.
C．Google takes the lead in the cyber security.
D．Yahoo will make up for the users' losses.
4、What may serve as the best title?
A．Yahoo, a Perfect Target?
B．Justice Has Long Arms
C．I’s Never too Late to Mend
D．Watch Out for Your Account

25．（10分）The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists (人类学家). Descriptions like "Palaeolithic (旧石器时代的) Man". "Neolithic (新石器时代的) Man",etc. neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label "Legless Man". Histories of the time will go something like this:"in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs even when they went on holiday."
The future history books might also record that we were deprived (剥夺) of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird's-eye view of the world. When you travel by car or train
