4 . All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year. Networks have been part of our life. Probably everyone with a portable device(移动设备）has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it while they are having a coffee, on a train, in a shopping mall or at a hotel. However, is this kind of public WiFi network safe?

Some networks are better protected than others because encryption(加密) methods are used. Therefore, they are safer than others. But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected, including addresses, emails, birth dates, phone numbers, passwords and so on. These open WiFi networks are really not safe, because it is very easy for hackers(黑客)to break into the operating system and get people's private information.

Most smartphones and laptops, by themselves, search and connect to WiFi networks. They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before. Hackers' devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks. When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real, hackers can easily steal their private information.

So next time, when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks, please think twice or take safe measures before using them.

1. Why do people like to log on to a public WiFi network?

A．Because it is free.

B．Because it is safe.

6 . In ancient times, Chinese used plant leaves or bird feathers as a fan during the summer time. This was the earliest form of the fan. The first real fan was made back in the era of Yao and Shun period thousands of years ago. Since then, Chinese-made fans have become a vital part of Chinese art and culture. At the beginning, the fan functioned as a tool to generate a current of air in the hot weather. Now electric fans such as ceiling fans and other technological breakthroughs have taken the place.

Long ago, fans caught the attention of ancient Chinese artists by chance. Thereafter, a unique fan art gradually took shape in the history of Chinese culture. Fan art usually includes Chinese calligraphy, paintings, or poems on the sectors（扇区）. Special skills are needed to write or paint on them.

Due to its history and partly because of its unique shape, Chinese would soon develop the tradition of using fans as ornaments（装饰品）. Fans are made in different sizes and different colors to meet the needs of each request. Other Chinese ornaments, such as the Chinese knot, the green jade, and the Spring Festival picture, are often combined in each design.

The value of fans depends mainly on the materials used and the level of craftsmanship that is involved during the process. Feather, paper, jade, bamboo and silk have all been used as ideal materials to make fans. Ancient Chinese even made iron fans to serve as deadly weapons（武器）in Chinese martial arts. Fans made by famous craftsmen are often characterized by pretty designs and detailed workmanship, and thus become favorites of collectors. Fans with masterpiece fine art like calligraphy or paintings are even more valuable.

A．The origin of fans.	B．The materials of fans.

8 . When Cherryl was at primary school, nobody ever called her by her real name. There was always someone making fun of her size. That continued for several years and it made her feel upset.

But one day, when she was eleven, as she was building a tree house in her garden, Cherryl realized she had more physical power than all the boys. She could lift heavy things and do things that other kids couldn’t. So, she decided to try weightlifting.

Cherryl was really good at weightlifting, so her coach encouraged her to take part in competitions. Her talent began to shine. She held every American record in her age group and she also won a bronze medal (铜) at the 2000 Olympic Games.

Cherryl is not only strong but also crazy about her sport. She usually practices for three hours a day. However, this doesn’t mean that weightlifting is her only interest. Just like other teenagers, Cherryl enjoys spending her free time with friends and her two sisters. She also likes drawing and painting and she’s a very talented artist. Her portraits (画像) have won prizes in competitions.

Cherryl’s success has made her an idol, especially among oversized teenagers. She says, “Hopefully, I can set an example to other people who feel they are far from normal and encourage them to do things that are challenging. We’re not all going to be supermodels. What’s important is how you feel and how you act towards others.”

1. At primary school, some kids laughed at Cherryl because of her ________.

A．size

B．clothes

C．name

D．grades

2. Cherryl realized her physical power when she ________.

9 . In a normal world, getting on an airplane that circles in the air for a few hours before returning to the same airport would have been considered laughable. However, in the COVID-19 pandemic, when many international travels stopped, “flight to nowhere” or “scenic flights” were increasingly popular.

Taiwan's Taipei Songshan Airport was one of the first to offer this unique service. In June 2020, faced with an over 60 percent drop in passengers, the airport officials decided to offer consumers a virtual flight. People interested in the “pretend to go abroad” experience could sign up for a chance to win one of 90 daily tickets. Winners of the three half-day tours were treated to a full airport experience, including clearing immigration, checking in, and boarding the airplanes. Though the planes never took off, the idea was amazingly popular.

At the same time, Japan's First Airlines also offered travel-hungry tourists an affordable way to visit New York, Rome, and Paris — without leaving the ground. For only $60, passengers in their airline seats could enjoy a life-like virtual reality tour of one of the world-class cities while feasting on a destination-themed meal.

Qantas Airlines’ “flight to nowhere”, which was announced on September 22, 2020, and sold out within 10 minutes took air travellers on a scenic tour of Australia, flying over the Northern Territory, Queensland, and New South Wales. The seven-hour flight, which departed and returned to Sydney on October 10, 2020, cost between $787 to $3, 787 Australian dollars.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) dropped the idea of a “fight to nowhere” on September 29, 2020. Instead, the company held several fun activities that allowed passengers to experience the airline’s world-famous hospitality without leaving the ground.

Strange as the offerings may seem, they were a win-win for both customers who are longing to travel and airlines trying their best to keep afloat during these difficult times.

1. What can tourists do in Taiwan's virtual flight?

A．Have a full airport experience.	B．Have a half-day tour.
C．Pretend to check in.	D．Fly a virtual plane.

2. How is Qantas Airlines’ “fight to nowhere” different from the others?

A．It costs the least money.	B．It attracts the most tourists.
C．The plane really flies into the air.	D．It offers three half-day tours.

3. How does the author feel about the “flight to nowhere”?

A．Adventurous.

B．Successful.

C．Competitive.

D．Environmentally-friendly.

4. Which can replace the underlined words “keep afloat” in the last paragraph?

A．Win.

B．Explore.

C．Compete.

D．Survive.
