【解析】

试题解析：本文是一篇对话。通过Steve对著名传记作家Caren Thomas的采访，介绍了Caren的学习经历、人生感受及其创作过程中的趣事。

【】 as考查状语从句。分析句子成分可知， a famous writer为句子中的状语，说明Caren的身份，as引导的介词短语作状语，译为“作为”。

【2】 What考察疑问词。How一般用来询问“事物变化的部分”，如人们的情绪，健康等；what...like则询问“事物没有变化的部分”，如人们的情绪。

【3】boring考查动词形态变化。Bore(n.)讨厌的人或事；(v.)“使厌烦，开凿，挖孔”；分析句子成分可知此处应该填一个形容词，修饰my childhood，使用bore的形容词形式boring“枯燥的，无聊的”。

【4】with考查固定短语搭配。Get along well with sb“与某人相处融洽”。

【5】have understood考查动词时态。So far“至今”，所描述的谓语动作一直持续到现在，则谓语用现在完成时态。而且，根据前句 I have reached middle age now. 可知此处用现在完成时。

【6】from考查动词短语固定搭配。Graduate from“毕业于...”，根据上句 Where did you go to university?可知此处是关于毕业院校的回答。

【7】but考查关联词。分析句意“从小我就喜欢写作，但是进入这一行对我来说并不容易。”两个分句间是转折关系。

【8】asked考察被动语态。分析句意：“我开始为杂志写文章，最后被要求写书，所以我真是非常幸运。”

【9】When考察疑问词。根据下句From the beginning of 2008，可知该句是问Caren是何时开始写关于总统奥巴马的书，故答案为when。

【10】took考查动词短语固定搭配。Take sb some time to do sth“花费某人...时间做某事”。

In China, people and giant pandas had been living together for thousands of years. But China’s human population has been great growing. More population means more land is needed for farming. It also mean more forests are cut for wood to build and heat houses. Loss of habitat in lowland areas has forced pandas live only in the mountains. The most damaged result of development has been that it has divided the panda’s habitat into little islands of forest. Today, many panda are isolated in these small sections of forest, because of they will cross into areas which people live. The result is that the giant pandas can connect with one another to mate and have babies.

Besides, to our relief, there is still some good news that people are trying to help the giant pandas by creating protected areas.

【题目】 A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Before offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap, some exquisite and expensive—telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured（确信的）that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided for us.”

God brews（泡，沏）the coffee, not the cups. Enjoy your coffee!

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. "

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

A. complaints B. study

C. discussion D. chat

【题目】As more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information, strict password security has become more important than ever. A new study shows that free-form gestures–sweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phone—can be used to unlock phones. These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.

“All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye,” said one of the researchers of the study. “With all the personal information we have on our phones today, improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary.” In developing a secure solution to this problem, the researchers studied the practicality of using free-form gestures. With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen, the gestures were popular as passwords. Since users create them without following a template, the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity.

The researchers carried out a create-test-retest experiment where 63 people were asked to create a gesture, recall it, and recall it again 10 days later. The gestures were captured on a recognizer system designed by the team. Using this data, they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory. The result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use free-form gestures as passwords.

To put their analysis into practice, the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering, each with considerable experience with touchscreens（触摸屏）, attempt to steal a free-form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly. None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy. The gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks.

Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear, the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of free–form passwords in the future. They believe this is the first study to explore free-form gestures as passwords. They will soon publish their findings.

【1】What can we learn about free-form gestures?

A. They are improving mobile security in a way.

B. Users will have to make use of simple gestures.

C. They will never be copied by others.

D. Users must move their fingers in fixed shapes.

【2】The experiment in paragraph 4 is to test _________ of free - form gestures.

A. template B. application C. accuracy D. security

【3】According to the text, the researchers think that ________.

A. it is easy to steal any password with a quick eye

B. better ways of setting passwords should be developed

C. people had better not use smart phones to pay bills

D. personal information should not be stored in a phone

【4】The main purpose of the text is to ________.

A. advise people to use free-form gestures

B. discuss whether smart phones are safe

C. talk about the practicality of passwords

D. introduce the study of a new password
