39、0）(1).peopletendtousepasswordsthatare_.（分数：1.00）a.easytorememberb.hardtofigureoutc.randomnumbersd.popularnames解析：解析细节题。根据第一段第三句“agoodpasswordhastobebotheasytorememberandhardtoguess,butinpracticepeopleseemtopayattentiontotheformer.”可知，一个好的密码应该兼具容易记忆和难以猜测这两个特点，但在实际生活中，人们似乎更注重前者。换句话说，虽然密码的两个特点都很重要，但人们在

40、使用中还是更注重更容易记忆，因此a选项easytoremember“易于记忆”符合题意，为正确答案。（(2).researchersfinditdifficulttoknowhowunsafepasswordsaredueto_.分数：1.00）a.lackofresearchtoolsb.lackofresearchfundsc.limitedtimeofstudiesd.limitedsizeofsamples解析：解析细节题。题干中的unsafepasswords是对文章第二段第二句中passwordsareinsecure的同义转述，由该句可知，研究者认为想要测算密码不安全的程度是很困

41、难的，因为许多研究都只能在少量的样本上展开工作，这说明困难是由于缺少样本造成的，因此d选项limitedsizeofsamples“样本大小受限”符合题意，故d为正确答案。(3).itisindicatedinthetextthat_.（分数：1.00）a.indonesiansaresensitivetopasswordsecurityb.youngpeopletendtohavesecurepasswordsc.nagscreenshelplittleinpasswordsecurityd.passwordsforcreditcardsareusuallysafe解析：解析推理题。a选项“

42、印尼人对密码安全很敏感”与文章第四段第三句中“thosewhospokeindonesiantheleast”即“那些说印尼语的人的密码最不安全”表达相矛盾，可排除。b选项“年轻人倾向使用安全的密码”与第四段第二句“olderusershadbetterpasswordsthanyoungones.”即“年长的人的密码比年轻人的密码更安全。”表达相矛盾，可排除。d选项“信用卡的密码通常是安全的”与第四段第四句“passwordsdesignedtohidesensitiveinformationsuchascredit-cardnumberswereonlyslightlymoresecure

43、thanthoseprotectinglessimportantthings,likeaccesstogames.”表达相予盾，亦可排除。c选项“提示窗口对密码安全帮助不大”与第四段第五句“nagscreensthattolduserstheyhadchosenaweakpasswordmadevirtuallynodifference”表达一致，故c为正确答案。(4).theunderlinedwordcompromiseinpara.5mostprobablymeans_.（分数：1.00）a.compriseb.compensatec.endangerd.encounter解析：解析语义

44、题。由第五段第三句中“anattackerwhocanmanagetenguessesperaccountwillcompromisearound1%ofaccounts.”可知，攻击者对一个账户进行10次密码尝试输入就会对约1%的账户造成危害。结合该段最后一句“andthatisaworthwhileoutcomeforahacker.”可知，“这1%账户对黑客来说，已经是一个很值得的结果了。”这说明他们会根据对密码的猜测来破解账户，因此对账号造成威胁。a选项comprise“包括，构成”；b选项compensate“补偿，赔偿”；c选项endanger“濒临灭绝的”，可引申为“遭受威胁的”

45、；d选项encounter“遭遇，偶然碰见”。对比四个选项，只有c选项endanger最符合题意，故c为正确答案。(5).thelastparagraphofthetextsuggeststhat_.（分数：1.00）a.netusersregulatetheironlinebehaviorsb.netusersrelyonthemselvesforsecurityc.bigwebsiteslimitthenumberofguessesd.bigwebsitesofferusersconvenientaccess解析：解析推理题。根据题干可定位至文章末段。a选项“网络使用者要规范他们的网上行为

46、”，在文中并未提及，可排除；c选项“大型网站限制尝试输入密码的次数”太过绝对，最后一段虽然提到谷歌和微软采取了这样的措施，但并不是所有的大型网站都这样做了，故排除c；d选项“大型网站为用户提供方便的登入”，文中也未提及，亦可排除。b选项“网络使用者要靠自己注意网络安全”与末段末句的“soitstimeforuserstoconsiderthealternativestotraditionalpasswords.”表达一致，故b为正确答案。七、text2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)johnlubbock,abritishmemberoftheparliament,ledtothefirstla
