南宁市2015高考英语四月阅读理解和完形填空自练（8）答案【2015高考复习】阅读理解there are probably no people on earth who like to gossip (说闲话) as much as the british.if prying into others lives were an olympic sport，then team gb would surely take the gold medal.and when the british cant watch the lives of real people with glee，they have another source of entertainment to fall back onthe soap opera.british soap operas are very different to us tv dramas.for one，they are normally longer running.the two most popular，coronation street and eastenders，have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively.both are broadcast several times a week，so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of coronation street.the most obvious difference is that，unlike us dramas，the british soap operas focus on the real world.there is little glamour，the stars are rarely rich，and they normally have boring jobs.perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audiencebut with some drama added.this means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.because these soap operas last for decades，the cast is ever changing.the shows rarely focus on one or two main characters.like the real world，people come and go all the time.however，there are exceptions.coronation streets william roach,76，has played the role of ken barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960，and he is still a regular.the choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural：people from the north of british tend to watch coronation street as it is set in manchester.people from the south generally prefer eastenders，which is set in the east of london.the show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了什么是英国的肥皂剧、英国肥皂剧与美国电视剧的区别、英国肥皂剧的主要特点以及英国人喜欢看英国肥皂剧的主要原因。1what does this passage mainly talk about?abritish people like to know things about other people.bbritish team can get

laptop. they look like innocent passers-by. in fact, they are stealing your corporate secrets.drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless computer networks from outside the buildings that house them. a recent study in the uk, sponsored by rsa data security, found that two-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. security experts patrolled (巡逻) several streets in the city of london seeking evidence of wireless networks in operation.of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting（加密） them. such data could readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few pieces of software that can be freely down-loaded from the internet.the data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. or they could be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if they were legal users.most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of precautions to protect their data. nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that need only to be activated in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting the data being passed over the network.raymon kruck, business development manager at check point software, a security technology specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. people see the solid walls of their building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical walls.companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers to break in. switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. then there are other basic steps a company can take, says mr. kruck, such as changing the passwords on the network from the default (默认) setting.companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public internet. they should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which might betray the presence of a hacker.16. according to the study sponsored by rsa data security, two thirds of the subjects _.a.had their corporate data stolenb.depended on wireless computer networksc.were exposed to drive-by hackingd.were unaware of the risk of wireless hacking17.which of the following is not considered in the study?a.the number of wireless hacking incidents.b.the number of wireless computer networks.c.the way in which data are sent and received.d.the way in which data are hacked and stolen.18.most wireless network technology comprises _.a.data encryption programsb. password security programsc.illegal-user detectiond. virus-intrusion detection19.raymond kruck most probably agrees that wireless network security involves _.a. wireless signal administrationb.changes in users awarenessc.users psychological healthd.stronger physical walls20.without firewalls, companies using wireless networks _.a.cannot operate normallyb.should turn to passwordsc.will be easily attacked by hackersd.can still spot the activities of hackers【参考答案】1620、caabd完形填空。阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项。i was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught
