第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When I arrived at university, I had nothing in my bank account but was given a brand new overdraft (透支). I’d never had one before. So it was very excited to spend money on shopping, nights out, and all the junk food my mum had never let me eat. I managed to max out (达到最高限度) my account within three months and suddenly life wasn’t so much fun.
I spent the last two weeks before Easter on a diet of porridge and became self-loathing (自我憎恨的) and I also blamed Asda (阿斯达超市) for all the two-for-one deals I couldn’t resist. Now I’m working full-time to repay my debts. I’m also setting up a separate bank account for my student loan to go into to cover rent and bills. So I’ll be able to keep an eye on my spending.
With a lot of hard work and saving over the holidays I’m hoping that I’ll be in better financial shape for next year. After my experience in halls — being kept awake until 4 a.m. and work surfaces permanently covered in mind — I’m looking forward to moving into a house with friends. The partying and social life in halls are fantastic, but sometimes you’re put with people you don’t get on with, and it’s hard to cope with that. It helped me to stay strong, but I wish I had stood up to them rather than felt bullied.
I had a really bad time in my first year, which is why I’m going to make the most of university next year. I’m going to balance work with a social life, hit Freshers’ week hard and join some societies. With university handing me so many opportunities on a plate, I want to take up as many as I can and enjoy myself.
1、The author could do so much shopping as a freshman because ________.
A．she was permitted to overdraft from the bank
B．her parents sent her money through the bank
C．she wanted to max out her account
D．she could work full-time
2、What can we infer from the second paragraph about the author?
A．She enjoyed eating porridge for her meals.
B．She had to work to pay for her education fee.
C．She regretted spending so much money on shopping.
D．She wanted to borrow more money for shopping.
3、From this text we can see that the author ________.
A．gained a lot of money through working
B．didn’t get on well with her workmates
C．felt bullied by her friends
D．worked and slept in a bad condition
4、The author made up her mind to ________ next year.
A．make good use of her university life B．find a better job
C．take up more plates D．form some organizations
5、The author mainly introduces her ________ in the passage.
A．opportunities at first year of university
B．freshman experiences at university
C．working experiences at university
D．thoughts on her daily Spending

B
In fairy tales, it's usually the princess that needs protecting. At Google in Silicon Valley, the princess is the one defending the castle. Parisa Tabriz is a 31-year-old with perhaps the most unique job title in engineering- “Google Security Princess”. Her job is to hack into the most popular web browser（浏览器）on the planet, trying to find weaknesses in the system before the “black hats” do. To defeat Google's attackers, Tabriz must firstly think like them.
Tabriz's role has evolved dramatically in the eight years since she first started working at Google. Back then, the young graduate from Illinois University was one of 50 security engineers---today there are over 500.
Cybercrime（网络犯罪）has come a long way in the past decade - from the Nigerian Prince Scam to credit card theft. Tabriz's biggest concern now is the people who find bugs in Google's software, and sell the information to governments or criminals. To fight against this, the company has set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program, paying anywhere from $100 to $ 20, 000 for reported mistakes.
It's a world away from Tabriz's computer-free childhood home in Chicago. The daughter of an Iranian-American doctor father, and Polish-American nurse mother, Tabriz had little contact with computers until she started studying engineering at college. Gaze across a line-up of Google security staff today and you'll find women like Tabriz are few and far between（稀少的）--- though in the last few years she has hired more female tech geniuses. She admits there's an obvious gender disequilibrium in Silicon Valley.
Funnily enough, during training sessions Tabriz first asks new colleagues to hack into not a computer, but a vending machine. Tabriz's job is as much about technological know-how（专门知识）as understanding the psychology of attackers.
1、What can we learn about Tabriz from the passage?
A．She was the first female engineer at Google.
B．She must think differently so as to defeat the attackers.
C．Her job relates to not only technology but also psychology.
D．Her frequent contact with computers in childhood benefits her a lot.
2、Why has Google set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program?
A．To protect Google against cybercrime.
B．To monitor the normal operation of Google.
C．To help the government locate the cybercriminals.
D．To raise people's awareness of personal information safety.
3、What does the underlined word “disequilibrium” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Imbalance. B．Preference.
C．Difference. D．Discrimination.
4、Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?
A．What leads to cybercrime
B．The “Security Princess” who guards Google
C．Measures taken by Google to protect its users
D．How to become an excellent security engineer
