AIn 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.21. 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.22. 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.23. What does the underlined word “disequilibrium” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Imbalance.B. Preference.C. Difference.D. Discrimination.24. Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A. What leads to cybercrimeB. The “Secu rity Princess” who guards GoogleC. Measures taken by Google to protect its usersD. How to become an excellent security engineerBSince 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one, graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic directo r. “When people ask me what our program is about，” she says, “I answer them with one word: hope”. Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one­time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals. The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community. When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets”, “Love and Care”, and “Peace Walk”．The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals.“The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history.” says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.25. What can be the best title for the text?A. Love, from Graffiti Writers to MuralistsB. MAP, a New Company in PhiladelphiaC. Jane, an Excellent Mural ArtistD. Hope, One Wall at a Time26. What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at?A. Helping the young find jobs.B. Protecting the neighborhood.C. Fighting against graffiti.D. Attracting more visitors.27. How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural?A. By having discussions with people in the community.B. By seeking advice from the city government.C. By learning from the young graffiti writers.D. By studying the history of the city.28. Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP?A. Difficult.B. Dangerous.C. Experimental.D.

If I had only heard his conclusion statement and missed the evidence that he employed ，I would have been wondering how he could argue such an interesting point. But he structured his argument like a detective story, with each puzzle piece contributing to the conclusion.Fascinated，I borrowed his book Outliers: The Story of Success from the library. Each chapter had its own story and argument，and all of the arguments were aboutfactors that contributed to an individual' s success in the world.The depth of his research was amazing. In the first chapter，he analyzed the reasons behind the crash of Korean Air Flight 801 in 1997，which killed more than 220 people. The disaster took place partly because the co-pilot didn't point out the mistakes that the pilot was making. In South Korea，it' s disrespectful to disagree with higher ups even if they are doing something wrong.Perhaps most interesting of all，Gladwell explained why Asians are so good at math. He said Asians get an advantage when they learn how to count because their language has fewer syllables (音节) and makes numbers easier to remember.But Gladwell is mostly interested in answering my favorite question，"Why?” And that’s exactly why I love his works. After reading Outliers: The Story of Success and other books like it，I found myself questioning my commonly-accepted beliefs much more often. After all，why should we take anything for granted?32. Why does the author write this article?A. To promote some of Gladwell’s books.B. To introduce Gladwell and his books.C. To show how Gladwell did research for his books.D. To explain why he enjoys Gladwell’s books.33. How did the author feel about Gladwell’s TED talk?A. Surprising but persuasive.B. Refreshing but puzzling.C. Interesting but doubtfulD. Funny but conclusive.34. What can we know from the passage?A. Eating spaghetti sauce can make you happy.B. Carelessness caused the Korean air crash in 1997.C. Fewer syllables give Asians an advantage in learning math.D. The Story of Success is about Gladwell’s personal success.35. What really make s the author fall in love with Gladwell’s works?A. His strong arguments. C. His amazing research.B. His detective-like stories. D. His questioning spirit.第三节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
