10、le state of Ohio.”New Orleanians have always resembled New Yorkers; they tend to share the sense that to live anywhere else would lead inevitably to a stupid and pitiable existence beyond the bounds of understanding.In part, the spirit of New Orleans is rooted in the citys belowsealevel unsteadiness

11、, the condition of looking out and even up at the water all around you, the knowledge that water saturates (浸透) the ground you stand on. Katrina, the fierce hurricane that destroyed the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, tested the selfpossession of every citizen who survived it. More than eighteen hund

12、red people did not survive it, and hundreds of thousands lost their homes. The storm and the terrible flooding that followed a natural disaster worsened by a range of manmade disasters revealed much that had been fragile, or rotten, in Hearns time and grew worse with every decade: shabby civil engin

And yet, in the face of abandonment in hospitals, on rooftops, on highway overpasse

14、s the residents of New Orleans behaved with resilience (不折不挠).

My ancient jeep was straining up through spectacular countryside when the radiator (水箱) began to leak te

24、n miles from the nearest mechanic. The overheated engine forced me to stop at the next village, which consisted of a small store and scattering of houses. People gathered to look. Three fine streams of hot water spouted from holes in the jacket of the radiator.“Thats easy to fix，” a man said. He sen

25、t a boy running for some green bananas. He patted me on the shoulder, assuring me everything would work out. “Green bananas，” he smiled. Everyone agreed.We exchanged pleasantries while I thought over the effects of the green banana. Asking questions would betray my ignorance, so I remarked on the be

26、auty of the place. Huge rock formations, like Sugar Loaf in Rio, rose up all around us. “Do you see that tall one right over there？” asked my benefactor pointing to a particular tall, slender pinnacle of dark rock.“That rock marks the center of the world.”I looked to see if he was teasing me, but hi

27、s face was serious. He in turn inspected me carefully to be sure I grasped the significance of his statement. The occasion demanded some show of recognition on my part.“The center of the world？”I repeated, trying to convey interest if not complete acceptance. He nodded. The absolute center. Everyone

28、 around here knows it.At that moment the boy returned with my green bananas. The man sliced one in half and pressed the cut end against the radiator jacket.

29、or and gave me extra bananas to take along. An hour later, after one more application of green banana, my radiator and I reached our destination. The local mechanic smiled, “Who taught you about the green banana？” I named the village. “Did they show you the rock marking the center of the world？” he

Everyone around here has always known about it.”_ As a product of American higher education, I had never paid the slightest attention to the green banana, except to regard it as a fruit whose time had not yet

31、come. _ But as I reflected on it further, I realized that the green banana had been there all along. _ Its time reached back to the very origins of the banana. _ The people in that village had known about it for years. My own time had come in relation to it. This chance encounter showed me the speci

32、al genius of those people, and the special potential of the green banana, I had been wondering for some time about those episodes of clarity which educators like to call “leaning moments”， and knew I had just experienced two of them at once. The importance of the rock marking the center of the world

33、 took a while to filter through. I had initially doubted their claim, knowing for a fact that the center was located somewhere in New England. After all, my grandfather had come from there. But gradually I realized they had a valid belief, a universal concept, and I agreed with them. We tend to defi

37、有着特殊的含义，从某种意义上说，每个地方都代表着“世界的中心”。实际上，“青香蕉”在等待着我们所有的人离开自己的“中心”，去体验更加广阔的天地。所以文章用“青香蕉”为标题，比较得当。7What can we infer from Paragraph 3?AThe author was openminded enough to respect their wisdom and beliefs.BThe author was polite trying not to show disagreement with the helper.CIt occurred to the author that

38、the center of the world would be the tall slender rock.DThe author came to realize that every place has special meanings for the people in it.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第三段的内容，特别是其中的“.

41、根据倒数第二段最后一句以及最后一段的内容可知作者感悟到了“对于居住在其中的人来说，每个地方都有着特殊的含义，从某种意义上说，每个地方都代表着世界的中心”。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是启发人们重新思考和重新定义他们眼中的世界的中心。D(2018苏州高三一模)Computer security is a contradiction in terms. The arrival of the “Internet of Things” will see computers baked into everything from road signs and MRI scanners to artificia

42、l body parts and insulin (胰岛素) pumps. There is little evidence that such equipment will be any more trustworthy than desktop computers. Hackers have already proved that they can take remote control of connected cars and pacemakers. However, it is tempting to believe that the security problem can be

43、solved with yet more technical wizardry (魔法) and a call for further watchfulness. And it is certainly true that many firms still fail to take security seriously enough. That requires a kind of lasting insistence which does not come naturally to nontech firms. Actually, there is no way to make comput

44、ers completely safe. Software is hugely complex. Across its products, Google must manage around 2 billion lines of source code errors are unavoidable. The average program has 14 separate bugs, each of them a potential point of illegal entry. Such weaknesses are worsened by the history of the Interne

45、t, in which security was an afterthought.This is not necessarily in despair. The risk from cheats, car accidents and the weather can never be avoided completely either. But societies have developed ways of managing such risk from government regulation to the use of legal liability (责任) and insurance

46、 to create more safer behaviours.Start with regulation. Governments first priority is to control from making the situation worse. Terrorist attacks often bring calls for codes to be weakened so that the security services can better monitor what individuals are up to. But it is impossible to weaken c

47、odes for terrorists alone. The same protection that guards messaging programs like WhatsApp also guards bank business and online identities. Computer security is best served by encoding that is strong for everyone. The next priority is setting basic product regulations. A lack of professional knowle

48、dge will always block the ability of computer users to protect themselves. So governments should promote “public health” for computing. They could insist that Internetconnected contents be updated with fixes when faults are found. They could force users to change default (默认) usernames and passwords

49、. Reporting laws, already in force in some American states, can require companies to report when they or their products are hacked, which encourages them to fix a problem instead of burying it. Most important, the software industry has for decades disclaimed liability for the harm when its products

50、go wrong. Such an approach has its benefits. Silicon Valleys fruitful “go fast and break things” style of innovation is possible only if firms relatively have freedom to put out new products while they still need perfecting. But this point will soon be illegal. As computers spread to products covere

51、d by established liability arrangements, such as cars or domestic goods, the industrys disclaimers will increasingly be against existing laws.Firms should recognize that, if the courts do not force the liability issue, public opinion will. Fortunately, the small but growing market in cybersecurity i

52、nsurance offers a way to protect consumers while preserving the computing industrys ability to innovate. A firm whose products do not work properly, or are repeatedly hacked, will find its insurance rising, urging it to solve the problem. A firm that takes reasonable steps to make things safe, but w

53、hich is damaged nevertheless, will ask for an insurance payout that will stop it from going bankrupt (破产). It is here that some problems could perhaps be negotiated. Once again, there are examples: when countless claims against American lightaircraft firms threatened to bankrupt the industry in the

54、1980s, the government changed the law, limiting their liability for old products. One reason computer security is so bad today is that few people were taking it seriously yesterday. When the Internet was new, that was forgivable. Now that the consequences are known, and the risks posed by bugs and h

But changing attitudes and behavior will require economic tools, not just technical ones.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了如何才能真正地解决电脑安全的问题。10The first paragraph mainly tells us _.

57、sly.CWarnings from relevant departments are absent.DThe software developers lack afterthoughts.解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，人们依赖技术解决问题是导致电脑安全问题的严重性的原因。12What will happen if codes are weakened according to the passage?ATerrorist attacks are sure to occur more often.BSecurity services cant monitor peoples beha

58、viors.CImportant information may not be guarded safely.DComputer users wont grasp the professional knowledge. 解析：选C推理判断题。根据第四段的第三句“Terrorist attacks often bring calls for codes to be weakened so that the security services can better monitor what individuals are up to”以及最后一句“Computer security is best

59、 served by encoding that is strong for everyone.”可知，恐怖袭击需要弱化密码才能监控用户个人信息，如果密码强度高的话，电脑安全就能得到保障。所以如果密码弱的话，许多重要信息的安全将无法被保障。13The underlined part in the 6th paragraph implies _. Athe liability rules can be established soonBusers probably enjoy more new productsCfirms can legally escape promoting innovat

60、ionDcourts havent power to interfere firms freedom解析：选B句意理解题。画线部分意思为“这种方法有其好处”，说明很有可能会受到用户的欢迎。14What can we know about cybersecurity insurance?AIt frees consumers from being attacked from hackers.BIt offers firms funds to improve the ability of innovation.CIt protects firms willing to solve problems

61、 from the collapse.DIt increases the economic burden of the technology firms.解析：选C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第四句“A firm that takes reasonable steps to make things safe, but which is damaged nevertheless, will ask for an insurance payout that will stop it from going bankrupt (破产)”可知，一家愿意采取措施来使得产品更安全的公司可以申请保险赔偿，防止破

62、产。15Whats the authors preferred solution to computer security?ARaising users full awareness of encoding.BReporting hackers attacks to hightech firms.CUrging firms to further improve faulty products.DStrengthening economic means further.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But changing attitudes and behavior will require economic tools, not just technical ones.”可知，作者认为要解决网络安全问题首先要改变态度，而改变态度需要的是经济手段而不是技术手段。
