题目内容
While helping out in the library, I learnt to _______ books either according to the title of the book or by the author.
A. classify B. separate C. divide D. split
【解析】选A。句意为:在图书馆里帮忙的时候, 我学会了要么按照图书的标题分类, 要么按照作者分类。classify“分类”符合句意;separate “隔离,隔开,使……不在一起”;divide “划分”,特指将整体划分成几个部分;split“分裂,劈开”。
“Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.
The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.
Owners must report their laptop missing by logging on to a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” banner pops up on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version(版本) of the software, users can also send a spoken message.
The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. “One customer sent a message saying, ‘You are being tracked. I am right at your door’,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.
In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. The default through the computer’s speakers is: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, please report me now.”
The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 (£21) but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password prompt if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.
If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.
Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.
Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.
72. The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind” can be understood as “_______”.
A. to give the thief an alert mind | B. to express the owners’ anger to the thief |
C. to remind the thief of his conscience | D. to make the thief give up his mind |
73. Different from other security software, Retriever can ______.
A. record the stealing process | B. help recognize the lost laptop |
C. lock down the computer remotely | D. send a spoken message |
74. One function of the program is that it allows the owner to ______ at a distance.
A. change some access details for switching on the laptop
B. turn on the laptop by using the original password
C. operate the laptop by means of an alternative password
D. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop
75. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?
A. With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.
B. A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.
C. Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.
D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.
Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation
(和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. "Beginning Anew" is
a(n) 36 of reconciliation. It involves three steps ---- sharing appreciation, expressing 37 , and expressing hurt and difficulties.
In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the 38 qualities of the other person. The second step -- expressing regret, is to 39 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 40 . This requires humility (谦逊), and the 41 to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we 42 our own hurt with mindful and loving 43 without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and 44 our words. If we 45 the other person, his heart will 46 and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand 47 he has spoken and acted as he has , causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings 48 we can understand him more deeply. If a strong 49 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply 50 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 51 . The other person can 52 us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy practicing "Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends 53 . By doing this, we will 54 misunderstandings from accumulating. Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, 55 we take care of our children.
