Britain had never won the Olympic diving gold medal before the Rio Olympics.BFor centuries, ships became isolated as soon as they were out of sight of shores and of other ships. This meant that if a ship met with any problems while at sea, they would sink without anyone knowing their fate. This isolation ended up with the invention of the wireless telegraph and Morse code.By 1904, many transatlantic ships had wireless telegraph on board. Realizing a need for a widely recognized distress(危难) call, the letters “CQD” became the first distress call. But at that time different countries used different distress calls.At the Radio and Telegraphic Conference held in Berlin in 1906, it was noted that there needed to be an internationally agreed upon and recognized signal for distress. Great Britain used “CQD” while Germany used “SOE”. After much discussion 3 years later, the letters “SOS” were agreed upon. Although many have later stated that the letters stand for “Save Our Ship”, “Save Our Souls” or “Sink Or Swim”, it is not what the statements mean. After being agreed upon at the Radio and Telegraphic Conference, the Morse code signal of three dots, three dashes（破折号）, and then three dots (sent together, without spacing) went into effect as the international signal for distress in 1911. The letters were chosen because the Morse code of three dots, three dashes, and three dots was easy to recognize and people were able to make as few mistakes as possible when sending it.Although officially the international signal for distress was “SOS”, many people still used the old signal of “CQD”. Even in 1912, when the Titanic began to sink, its radio operator first sent the “CQD” distress signal. Then another operator suggested also sending the new “SOS” signal. It took several years for “SOS” to replace the old signal.24. “SOS” went into effect as the international signal for distress in _.A. 1904B. 1906C. 1909D. 191125. Which of the following is the correct Morse code for “SOS”?A. B. C. D. 26.

This passage mainly talks about _.A. why many people still used the old signal of “CQD”B. why people invented “SOS” as the international distress signalC. why ships became isolated as soon as they were out of sight of shoresD. why people invented wireless telegraph as the international distress signalCI was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office computer. Your password has run out, a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesnt seem like a big deal unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase(大写的) character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one number. Oh, and the whole thing cant be fewer than eight characters. And I cant use any of the same passwords Ive used in the past three months.Suddenly I was cross. What didnt make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. The flashing cursor(光标) was still waiting for me to type a password that Id have to re-enter many times for the next 30 days. I remembered a tip from my former boss: Im going to use a password to change my life.I decided to choose a password, which would remind me that I shouldnt let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. I made my password Forgiveh3r.I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my computer would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would come back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote forgive her every day.The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and adopt a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt slow healing began to take place. By the time my server reminded me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.28According to the authors company, which code is suitable?A.Iqweyfs8#B.idjg46925C.QNB&j9D.ASD*apple29.

Why did the author change his password into Forgiveh3r?A.To make it harder for him to remember.B.To protect his computer from the former boss.C.To increase his frustration of the recent divorce.D.To remind himself to cheer up after divorce31. What is the best title of the passage?A. How to deal with depressionB.What an divorce taught meC.How my life was changed by a PasswordD.How to choose a suitable passwordDDogs already guide blind and disabled people and now they are to be trained to help people with dementia. The idea developed by some university students will now be put into practice by Scotland Medical Centre. The research is meaningful, for there are 670, 000 people in Britain who have dementia and by 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.Dementia can make people confuse day and night or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water. The dogs would be trained to help to guide them through the day.Joyce Gray from Scotland Medical Centre said, “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help them to maintain routine. For example, people with memory loss will tend to forget to take medicine，but if a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, theres a greater chance of them taking it.”Ms. Gray also said dogs were perfectly suited to remind their owners to eat. “Dogs have an ability to say its my feeding time， so there would be a note in the cupboard next to the dogs food reminding the dogs owner to eat too.”Dogs would also encourage their owners to take them out for walks. “It gives a reason for the owner to go out into the community，” Ms. Gray said. “We did a test with an elderly person walking down the high street on his own. Then we gave him a dog on a lead and he did the exact same walk. That time people would come up to him, chatting, smiling or making eye contact. We hope wed see this with people with dementia too.”There is one more advantage of using the pets as companions. Since conversations can be increasingly confusing for people with dementia, dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. Ms. Gray said, “We have found that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. People light up when they see animals. There is a speechless bond between the dog and its owner.”32Whats the best title for the passage?ADementia, a curable disease.BMental support for the disabled.CPets, faithful companions.DGuide dogs and people with dementia.33Whats the common symptom of dementia?AFeeling lonely.BFeeling sleepy day and night.CBeing forgetful.DGoing hungry.34According to Ms. Gray, if a dog presents him with a bag with pills in it, the owner may _.Ado some washingBtake his medicineChave something to eatDgo out to walk the dog35What can pets do for people with dementia?AGive them wordless mental support.BEnsure them to build a bond with other people.CContribute to get familiar with other people.DHelp them to recognize peoples faces.第2节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。More and more people are working remotely.
