meanings is called coding. people have used secret codes throughout history to protect important information. the national cryptologic museum celebrated 60 years of cryptologic excellence in 2012. one event there marked the sixtieth anniversary of the national security agency. two former nsa workers shared their memories of operating a code machine called sigaba.in 1940, an american woman named genevieve grotjan found some information being repeated in japanese coded messages. her discovery helped the united states understand secret japanese diplomatic messages. after the united states understood the code, it was possible to study messages from the japanese ambassador to germany and to his supervisors in japan.understanding these messages helped the united states prepare for a possible war in the pacific with japan. after the attack on pearl harbor, an american naval officer named joseph rochefort struggled to understand the japanese navy code. he worked on the american base at pearl harbor. it was early in 1942. the american naval commander in the pacific ocean was chester nimitz. his forces were much smaller than the japanese naval forces. and the japanese had been winning many victories. joseph rochefort had worked for several months to read the secret japanese naval code called jn-25. if he could understand enough of the code, he would be able to give admiral nimitz very valuable information.from the beginning of 1942, the japanese code discussed a place called af. joseph rochefort felt the japanese were planning an important battle aimed at af. after several weeks, he and other naval experts told admiral nimitz that their best idea was that the af in the japanese code was the american-held island of midway. admiral nimitz said he must have more information to prepare for such an attack.the navy experts decided to trick japan. they told the american military force on midway to broadcast a false message. the message would say the island was having problems with its water-processing equipment. the message asked that fresh water be sent to the island immediately. this message was not sent in code.several days later, a japanese radio broadcast in the jn-25 code said that af had little water. joseph rochefort had the evidence he needed. af was now known to be the island of midway. he also told admiral nimitz the japanese would attack midway on june 13.the battle that followed was a huge american victory. that victory was possible because joseph rochefort learned to read enough of the japanese code to discover the meaning of the letters af.one american code has never been broken. perhaps it never will. it was used in the pacific during world war two. for many years the government would not discuss this secret code. listen for a moment to this very unusual code. then you may understand why the japanese military forces were never able to understand any of it.the code is in the voice of a native american. the man you just heard is singing a simple song in the navajo language. very few people outside the navajo nation are able to speak any of their very difficult language.at the beginning of world war two, the united states marine corps asked members of the navajo tribe to train as code talkers.the cryptologic museum says the marine corps code talkers could take a sentence in english and change it into their language in about 20 seconds. a code machine needed about 30 minutes to do the same work.the navajo code talkers took part in every battle the marines entered in the pacific during world war two. the japanese were very skilled at breaking codes. but they were never able to understand any of what they called the marine code.the cryptologic museum has many pieces of mechanical and electric equipment used to change words into code. it also has almost as many examples of machines used to try to change code back into useful words.25the nsa was founded _.a. in 1940 b. 1942 c. in 1952 d. in 201226according to the passage, which one is not right?a. “cryptologic” implies containing some hidden informationb. the us decoded “af” and won the victory in midway islandsc. both rchefort and nimitz were american navy commandersd. the us marine corps was fallen for in midway islands battle27the americans used the navajo language in their coding system during the second world war for the reason that .a. unusual language was successfully used for codesb. it was commonly used in coding system worldwidec. the united states marine corps invented it thend. it was the most beautiful language in the worldc sleep deprivation(缺失)is an important hidden factor in lowering the achievement of school pupils, according to researchers carrying out international education tests.it is a particular problem in richer countries with sleep experts linking it to the use of mobile phones and computers in bedroom late at night. sleep deprivation is such a serious problem that lessons have to be dragged down to a lower level to suit sleep-deprived learners, the study found. the international comparison, carried out by boston college, found the united states to have the highest number of sleep-deprived students, with 73% of 9- and 10-year-olds and 80% of 13- and 14-year-olds identified by their teachers as being negatively affected.in literacy(读写能力) tests there were 76% of 9- and 10-year-olds lacking sleep. this was much higher than the international average of 47% of primary pupils needing more sleep and 57% among the secondary age group.other countries with the most sleep-deprived youngsters were new zealand, saudi arabia, australia, england, ireland and france. high-performing finland is also among the most lacking in sleep. countries with the best records for getting enough sleep include azerbaijan, kazakhstan, portugal, the czech republic, japan and malta.the analysis was part of the huge date-gathering process for global education rankings, the trends in international mathematics and science study (timss) and progress in international reading literacy study(pirls)“i think we underestimate the impact of sleep. our data show that across countries internationally, on average, children who have more sleep achieve higher in maths, science and reading. that is exactly what our data show,” says chad minnich of the timss and pirls international study center.“its the same link for children who are lacking basic nutrition,” says mr minnich, based at the lynch school of education, boston college. “if you are unable to concentrate, to attend mentally, you are unable to achieve at your best level, because your mind and body are in need of something more basic. sleep is a fundamental need for all children. if teachers report such large proportions of children suffering from lack of sleep, its having a significant impact. but worse than that, teachers are having to adjust their instruction based on those children who are suffering from a lack of sleep. the children who are suffering from a lack of sleep are driving down instruction.”that means that even the children who are getting enough sleep are still suffering from this sleep-related lowering.28.what did the researchers of boston college try to find?a. why children dont get enough sleep b. how many hours children sleep every nightc. the relationship between sleep and test results d. the relationship between sleep and health29. many children suffer from sleep deprivation because _.a. they sit in front of the tv for too long b. they can hardly sleep soundly and deeplyc. their homework occupies too much of their time d. modern technological devices consume a lot of their time30. which of the following countries has the most sleep-deprived students?a. japan b. malta c. finland d. portugal31. why are children who get enough sleep also victims?a. because they are disturbed by sleep-deprived studentsb. because teaching is driven down by sleep-deprived studentsc. because they have to spend time helping sleep-deprived studentsd. because the teachers waste time disciplining sleep-deprived studentsd the slavery drama 12 years a slave” won the academy award for best picture on sunday, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industrys highest honor in 86 years of the oscars. british director steve mcqueens brave portrayal of pre-civil war american slavery won two other oscars, including best supporting actress for newcomer lupita nyongo and best adapted screenplay based on the memoir of solomon northup, a free man tricked and sold into slavery in louisiana. “everyone deserves not just to survive but to live. this is the most important legacy of solomon northup,” said mcqueen in his acceptance speech. “12 years a slave” was better over space thriller “gravity” from mexican filmmaker alfonso cuaron, which nevertheless got the most oscars of the night with seven, including the best director honor for cuaron, a first for a latin american director.the film starring sandra bullock as an astronaut lost in space swept the technical awards like visual effects and cinematography, a reward for its groundbreaking work on conveying space and weightlessness. referring to the “transformative” experience he and others undertook in the four-plus years spent making “gravity”, cuaron, whose hair is graying, said, “for a lot of these people, that transformation was wisdom. for me, it was just the color1 of my hair.” in one of the strongest years for film in recent memory, the 6,000-plus voters of the academy of motion picture arts and sciences scattered golden oscar statuettes among the many acclaimed movies in contention. it was a good night for the scrappy, low-budget film “dallas buyers club”, directed by jean-marc vallee, a biopic of an early aids activist two decades in the making that won three oscars, including the two male acting awards. matthew mcconaughey, in a validation of a remarkable career turnaround, won best actor for his portrayal of the homophobe who turned aids victim and then turned treatment crusader ron woodroof, a role for which he lost 50 pounds (23 kg). his co-star, jared leto, won best supporting actor for his role as woodroofs unlikely business partner, the transgender woman rayon, for which he also slimmed down drastically. australias cate blanchett won the best actress oscar for her acclaimed role as the socialite unhinged by her husbands financial crimes in woody allens “blue jasmine.” “as random and subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of, yet again, extraordinary performances by women,” said blanchett, who beat out previous oscar winners bullock, amy adams, judi dench and meryl streep.32the film which won the largest number of oscar awards this year is _.a. 12 years a slave b. gravityc. dallas buyers club d. blue jasmine33which director spent the least money in making the film?a. steve mcqueen. b. alfonso cuaron.c. jean-marc vallee. d. woody allen.34how many oscar best actresses are mentioned in this passage?a. one. b. three. c. five. d. six.35which of the following statements is wrong?a. 12 years a slave won two oscar awards altogether.b. the director of gravity is from latin america.c. the character rayon is played by jared leto.d. the woman film star cate blanchett comes from oceania.第二部分
