Be Generous with Your Help

When it comes to the topic of help, we are frequently told that,

ying is, it implies the importance of helping others in need. What I learn from
the remark, in short words, is that helping others is helping yourself.
Examples can easily be found to make this point clearer. The story of the ant
and the dove is a case in point. An ant slipped into the river when drinking alo
ng the river. A dove heard his cries for help and threw him a leaf, which helpe
d the ant float back to the bank. After a few days, a
hunter
was raising his g
un to the dove as she was building her nest. Seeing this, the ant ran quickly t
o bite the hunter's leg. The dove heard the hunter's
scream
and flew away.
All in all, this example indicates that when we offer our help to others, we are
leaving a way open for the future. Helping others is a
virtue
, and we should
take some measures to carry forward this
virtue
and do others a favor. Only
in this way can we build a loving and
harmonious
society.

Section A
Directions:
In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word
for
each
blank
from
a
list
of
choices
given
in
a
word
bank
following
the
passage.
Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the
bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on
Answer
Sheet
2

with
a
single
line
through
the
centre. You may not
use
any
of
the
words in the bank more than once.


Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Many
European
countries
have
been
making
the
shift
to
electric
vehicles
and
Germany has just stated that they plan to ban the sales of vehicles using gasoline and
diesel as fuel by 2030. The country is also planning to reduce its carbon footprint by
80-95% by 2050, ___26___ a shift to green energy in the country. Effectively, the ban
will
include
the
registration
of
new
cars
in
the
country
as
they
will
not
allow
any
gasoline ___27___ vehicle to be registered after 2030.
Part of the reason this ban is being
discussed and ___28___ is because energy
officials
see
that
they
will
not
reach
their
emissions
goals
by
2050
if
they
do
not
___29___ a large portion of vehicle emissions. The country is still ___30___ that it
will
meet
its
emissions
goals,
like
reducing
emissions
by
40%
by
2020,
but
the
___31___ of electric cars in the country has not occurred as fast as expected.
Other efforts to increase the use of electric vehicles include plans to build over 1
million hybrid and electric car battery charging stations across the country. By 2030,
Germany plans on having over 6 million
charging stations ___32___. According
to
the
International
Business
Times
,
electric
car
sales
are
expected
to
increase
as
Volkswagen is still recovering from its emissions scandal.
There
are
___33___
around
155,000
registered
hybrid
and
electric
vehicles
on
German roads, dwarfed by the 45 million gasoline and diesel cars driving there now.
As
countries
continue
setting
goals
of
reducing
emissions,
greater
steps
need
to
be
taken to
have a ___34___ effect
on the surrounding environment.
While the efforts
are certainly not ___35___, the results of such bans will likely only start to be seen by
generations down the line, bettering the world for the future.

Apple’s Stance Highlights a More Confrontational Teach Industry

[A]
The
battle
between
Apple
and
law
enforcement
officials
over
unlocking
a
terrorist
’
s smartphone is the culmination of a slow turning of the tables between the
technology industry and the United States government.

[B]
After
revelations
by
the
former
National
Security
Agency
contractor
Edward
J.
Snowden
in
2013
that
the
government
both
cozied
up
to

(
讨好
)
certain
tech
companies and hacked into others to gain access to private data on an enormous scale,
tech giants began to recognize the United States government as a hostile actor. But if
the
confrontation
has
crystallized
in
this
latest
battle,
it
may
already
be
heading
toward a predictable conclusion: In the long run, the tech companies are destined to
emerge victorious.

[C] It may not seem that way at the moment. On the one side, you have the United
States government
’
s mighty legal and security apparatus fighting for data of the most
sympathetic
sort:
the
secrets
buried
in
a
dead
mass
murderer
’
s
phone.
The
action
stems
from
a
federal
court
order
issued
on
Tuesday
requiring
Apple
to
help
the
Federal
Bureau
of
Investigation
(FBI)
to
unlock
an
iPhone
used
by
one
of
the
two
attackers who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California, in December.

[D] In the other corner is the world
’
s most valuable company, whose chief executive,
Timothy
Cook,
has
said
he
will
appeal
the
court
’
s
order.
Apple
argues
that
it
is
fighting to preserve a principle that most of us who are addicted to our smartphones
can
defend:
Weaken
a
single
iPhone
so
that
its
contents
can
be
viewed
by
the
American
government
and
you
risk
weakening
all
iPhones
for
any
government
intruder, anywhere.

[E]
There
will
probably
be
months
of
legal
confrontation,
and
it
is
not
at
all
clear
which
side
will
prevail
in
court,
nor
in
the
battle
for
public
opinion
and
legislative
favor. Yet underlying all of this is a simple dynamic: Apple, Google, Facebook and
other companies hold most of the cards in this confrontation. They have our data, and
their
businesses
depend
on
the
global
public’s
collective
belief
that
they
will
do
everything they can to protect that data.

[F]
Any
crack
in
that
front
could
be
fatal
for
tech
companies
that
must
operate
worldwide. If Apple is forced to open up an iPhone for an American law enforcement
investigation, what is to prevent it from doing so for a request from the Russians or
the Iranians? If Apple is forced to write code that lets the FBI get into the Phone 5c
used
by
Syed
Rizwan
Farook,
the
male
attacker
in
the
San
Bernardino
attack,
who
would
be
responsible
if
some
hacker
got
hold
of
that
code
and
broke
into
its
other
devices?

[G] Apple
’
s stance on these issues emerged post-Snowden, when the company started
putting in place a series of technologies that, by default, make use of
encryption
(
加密
)
to limit access to people
’
s data. More than that, Apple, and, in different ways, other
tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft, have made their
opposition to the government’s claims a point of corporate pride.


[H] Appl
e’
s emerging global brand is privacy; it has staked its corporate reputation,
not
to
mention
the
investment
of
considerable
technical
and
financial
resources,
on
limiting the sort of mass surveillance that was uncovered by Mr. Snowden. So now,
for
many
cases
involving
governmental
intrusions
into
data,
once-lonely
privacy
advocates
find
themselves
fighting
alongside
the
most
powerful
company
in
the
world.

[I]
“
A comparison
point is
in
the 1990s battles over encryption,
”

said
Kurt
Opsahl,
general
counsel
of
the
Electronic
Frontier
Foundation,
a
privacy
watchdog
group.
“Then you had a few companies involved, but not one of the largest companies in the
world coming out with a lengthy and impassioned post, like we saw yesterday from
Timothy Cook. Its
profile has really been raised.”


[J]
Apple
and
other
tech
companies
hold
another
ace:
the
technical
means
to
keep
making their devices more and more inaccessible. Note that Apple
’
s public opposition
to the government
’
s request is itself a hindrance to mass government intrusion. And to
get at the contents of a single iPhone, the government says it needs a court order and
Apple
’
s
help
to
write
new
code;
in
earlier
versions
of
the
iPhone,
ones
that
were
created before Apple
found religion on
(
热衷于
) privacy, the FBI may have been able
to break into the device by itself.

[K] You can expect that
noose
(
束缚
) to continue to tighten. Experts said that whether
or not Apple loses this specific case, measures that it could put into place in the future
will almost certainly be able to further limit the government
’
s reach.

[L] That
’
s not to say that the outcome of the San Bernardino case is insignificant. As
Apple and several security experts have argued, an order compelling Apple to write
software
that
gives
the
FBI
access
to
the
iPhone
in
question
would
establish
an
unsettling precedent.
The order essentially asks
Apple to
hack its own devices, and
once it is in place, the precedent could be used to justify law enforcement efforts to
get around encryption technologies in other investigations far removed from national
security threats.

[M] Once armed with a method for gaining access to iPhones, the government could
ask
to
use
it
proactively

(
先发制人地
),
before
a
suspected
terrorist
attack
—
leaving
Apple in a bind as to whether to comply or risk an attack and suffer a public-relations
nightmare. “This is a brand
-new move
in the war against encryption,” Mr. Opsahl said.
