This year researchers expect the world to snap 1.35 trillion photographs, or about 3.7 billion per day. All those pixels (像素) take up a lot of room if they are stored on personal computers or s phones, which is one reason why many people store their images in the cloud. But unlike a hard on drive which can be encrypted to protect its data, cloud storage users have to trust that a tech platform will keep their private pictures safe. Now a team of Columbia University computer scientists has developed a tool to encrypt (加密) images stored on many popular cloud services while allowing authorized users to browse and display their photographs as usual.

Malicious (恶意的) attempts to access or leak cloud-based photographs can expose personal information. In November 2019, for example, a bug in the popular photograph storage app Google Photos mistakenly shared some users' private videos with strangers. Security experts also worry about employees at cloud storage companies on purpose accessing users' images.

So the Columbia researchers came up with a system called Easy Secure Photos (ESP), which they presented at a recent conference. “We wanted to see if we could make it possible to encrypt data while using existing services,” says computer scientist Jason Nieh, one of the developers of ESP. “Everyone wants to stay with Google Photos and not have to register on a new encrypted-image cloud storage service.”

To overcome this problem, they created a tool that preserves blocks of pixels but moves them around to effectively hide the photograph. First, ESP's algorithm (算法) divides a photograph into three separate files, each one containing the image's red, green or blue color1 data. Then the system hides the pixel blocks around among

these three files (allowing a block from the red file, for instance, to hide out in the green or blue ones). But the program does nothing within the pixel blocks, where all the image processing happens. As a result, the files remain unchanged images but end up looking like grainy black-and-white ones to anyone who accesses them without the decryption (解密) key.

4. What's probably the main purpose for people to store images in the cloud? A. To save storage room. B. To make photos beautiful. C. To try a new storage way. D. To keep their privacy safe. 5. Why might employees in cloud storage companies be distrusted by experts? A. They sell users' passwords. B. They have invented new tools. C. They often let out personal information. D. They may steal a glance at users' images. 6. What's the advantage of ESP? A. It can provide clear images. B. It can decrease the upload time. C. It can classify images automatically. D. It can encrypt data on the original platform. 7. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A. Method of decryption. B. Image-processing technique. C. Separate files of images. D. Data analysisof color1 s.

One day when I was 5, my mother criticized me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry motion to open the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.

Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have criticized my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. But my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a crack in the defense against unwanted insects.

For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would remind me of my mistake from time to time.

For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insectentered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Aboveall, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.

8. When the author damaged the door, his parents _______.

A. scolded him for what he had done B. left the door unrepaired C. told him how expensive it was D. gave him a spanking 9. How did the author feel every time he saw the damaged door? A. He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time. B. He found that his family members no longer liked him. C. He found it destroyed the happy atmosphere at his home. D. He felt he had to work hard to make up for (弥补) the damage. 10. The experience may cause the author _______. A. to hide his anger away from others B. not to go against his parents’ will C. to have a better control of himself D. not to make mistakes in the future

11. What of the following is the main idea of this passage? A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior. B. Parents shouldn’t educate their children.

C. What is the best way to become a more patient person? D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.

D

An unmanned Chinese spacecraft left the earth on a trip to the planet Mars on Thursday. The launch（发射）marks the start of one of China's most important space explorations. China's national space agency launched the spacecraft called Tianwen-1 fromthe Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Center on Hainan Island.

The name Tianwen means “Questions to Heaven” in Chinese. The spacecraft took off on China's largest

carrier rocket, the Long March 5, and about 36 minutes later, the spacecraft, including an orbiter（轨道飞行器）and a rover（漫游车），was sent into the Earth-Mars orbit. It is expected to reach the orbit of the red planet next February. Tianwen-1 will finish three scientific goals—orbiting the red planet, landing on the Mars and sending a rover to the landing site.

Tianwen-1 carries several scientific instruments to observe the planet's atmosphere and surface. It will do a series of scientific researches on the planet's soil, geological structure, environment, atmosphere and water. Besides its daily work of exploring the surface of Mars for 90 days, it will also report back to the earth about its experiences on the red planet, which is millions of miles away. According to experts, discovering signs of life will be its first and most important scientific goal.

Tianwen-1's successful landing will make China the second nation to place a spacecraft on Mars. The United States has landed eight vehicles on Mars since 1976. China will be the first to successfully orbit, land and place a vehicle in the same mission. This is China's first independent mission to Mars. The task in 2011 failed when a Russian rocket carrying a Chinese orbiter had problems after launch, and was unable to escape the Earth orbit. Last year, China's Chang e-4 spacecraft became the first to make a landing on the far side of the moon. 12. When will Tianwen-1 enter the orbit of Mars? A. 36 minutes later. B. Next Thursday. C. In 90 days. D. Next February.

13. What is the main task of Tianwen-1 according to experts? A. Orbiting the Mars. B. Landing on the Mars.

C. Discovering signs of life. D. Sending a rover to the landing site. 14. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the text? A. Tianwen-1 is the second vehicle landed on the Mars. B. The United States is the first to land vehicles on the Mars. C. Russia helped China place Tianwen-1 on the Mars. D. Chang，e-4 was the first to make a landing on the moon. 15. Where can you find this article?

A. In a newspaper. B. In a diary. C. In a sci-fi novel. D. In a guide book. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Smartphone apps certainly make our life easier. And now, it looks like they could even help do homework. Recent years have seen the release of a various of study aid apps aimed at student. Most of these apps allow users to take a photo of our schoolwork and the correct answers will just appear on their smartphones. Convenient they are, these apps present problems with both parents and teachers. Most students just copy the answers from the app, while only a few use the app to study. Better still, some students even use the study aid apps as social networks. Therefore, this isn’t to say that study aid apps should be completely ban.

weaknesses.
