Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D.(分数:40.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________解析:Are passwords outdated? It's starting to seem like it. Everybody hates them, and nobody can remember all the ones they've【C1】______. These days a typical internet user has dozens of online accounts. If you really want to be safe, you need to have a different password for each one, and each password needs to be incredibly【C2】______, with a mix of capital letters,【C3】______, and numbers. Who can keep all that stuff in their head? Most people don't【C4】______. Some just make up one password and use it everywhere while others might have a few passwords for different usages. Problem is that【C5】______one site gets attacked by hackers, they now have the password that you use elsewhere. In one recent attack on Sony, millions of accounts were exposed. Computer scientists realize the system is【C6】______and they're looking for alternatives. But most【C7】______haven't been very good. Fingerprint readers require special hardware, and smart cards can be lost or【C8】______. "We've tried【C9】______other approaches, but we end up back with passwords. They're the least【C10】______in a series of bad options," says a security consultant. Markus Jakobsson, a veteran security researcher with a Ph.D. in computer science, has come up with something he calls "fastwords." Instead of【C11】______a meaningless and obscure password, you join three simple words that come from a【C12】______known only to you. If one day you were driving to work and【C13】______a frog that ended up flat, you might choose "frog work flat." Some【C14】______: You can enter the three words【C15】______any order ("flat frog work"), and the system 【C16】______knows that you're you. If you totally【C17】______, the fastword system will tell you one of the three words, which should enable you to remember the【C18】______idea and thus the three keywords. Jakobsson says one large service provider is evaluating the fast-words concept. Fastwords【C19】______a step in the right direction, 【C20】______it's not the promised land. Someone, somehow, needs to come up with something completely different— and radically better—than what we have today.(分数:40.00)(1).【C1】(分数:2.00)A.testedB.created √C.toldD.measured解析:解析:前一句讲到,每个人都很讨厌密码,没有人能记下所有的密码。
根据常识,这些密码都是你自己创建的,故选B项created“创建”。
(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)A.irrationalB.confidentialC.personalplicated √解析:解析:如果真正想要让你的账号安全,密码的设置当然是越复杂越好,故选D项complicated“复杂的”,与空格后的mix(混合)相呼应。
(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)A.symbols √B.imagesD.signatures解析:解析:此空格要填入的是设置安全密码的要素,空格前后已经出现了“大写字母”和“数字”,这些都是很具体而易操作且稳定性强的东西,故选A项symbols“符号”。
(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)A.bother √B.satisfyC.irritateD.suffer解析:解析:从上文可知要记住每个复杂的密码对人们来说是不太可能的,且下文提到有些人只设置一个或几个密码用于不同的用途,这样做就省事了。
选A项bother“困扰”。
(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)A.thoughB.if √C.sinceD.until解析:解析:空格后提到“一个网站受到黑客攻击”的情况,后句“他们就能拥有你在其他网站使用的密码”是假设的结果,可知前句是后句的前提条件,故选B项if“如果”。
(6).【C6】(分数:2.00)A.rottenB.isolatedC.outdatedD.broken √解析:解析:从上文提到网站受到攻击,从而大量账号曝光,及下文的“他们正在寻找替代品”,可知这个系统被破解了,故答案为D项broken“被破解的,被破坏的”。
(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)A.adventuresB.appliancesC.attempts √D.applications解析:解析:上文提到电脑系统被攻破,电脑专家们正在寻找替代品,而后用了一个But来转折,联系下文可见,他们试了很多方法,比如指纹识别器、智能卡等,但最后还是用回了密码,可见他们所做的这些尝试并不是很成功,故选C项attempts“尝试”。
(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)A.foundB.injuredC.stolen √D.robbed解析:解析:此处提到了智能卡的缺点,它容易被丢失,当然也能被偷走,故选C项stolen“偷窃”。
(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)A.all sorts of √B.all aspects ofC.in case ofD.in respect of解析:解析:这里讲的是寻找密码替代品过程的不顺利。

故选A项all sorts of“各种各样的”。
(10).【C10】(分数:2.00)A.factorB.worst √D.distress解析:解析:从空格前的the least,及空格后的“一系列不好的”,可知此处是指差的里面相对较好的部分,双重否定即为肯定,故B项worst“最坏的部分”为正确答案。
(11).【C11】(分数:2.00)posingB.writingC.imitatingD.inventing √解析:解析:此处动名词的宾语是“密码”,密码都是个人首创、个人设定的,故答案为D项inventing“创造;发明”。
(12).【C12】(分数:2.00)A.feedbackB.thought √C.puzzleD.imagination解析:解析:由空格后的“只有你才知道”及下文If所举某人真实经历的例子,可知此处应填入的是能给人提示密码设置的一个思维过程。
四个选项中只有B项thought“想法”与逻辑思维关联最紧密。
(13).【C13】(分数:2.00)A.came acrossB.attacked byC.ran over √D.dropped off解析:解析:上文提到开车去上班,能造成空格后“被压扁的青蛙”的动作是碾过,故答案为C项ran over“碾过”。
(14).【C14】(分数:2.00)A.advantages √B.lossesC.interestsD.mysteries解析:解析:冒号后解释说明的是快词与原密码设置方式相比较所具有的优势:智能识别,给提示。
