Shy? Live in a cave? Those might not be positive attributes for the average human, but they sure are good for animals trying to survive in a changing environment.According to a new study, beasts that hibernate(冬眠)or crawl into holes are le likely to be listed as endangered than those that don't.Following up a previous study on extinct animals, which showed that species exhibiting “sleep or hide”(SLOH)behaviors did better than others, the researchers wanted to see if the same was true of modern creatures like moles and bears.To find out if our more timid animals have a leg up in the survival game, researchers made a master list of 443 sleep-or-hide mammals.With their list in hand, the team compared their 443 to the “red list” of endangered species published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.As suspected, a sleepy or hiding animal was le likely to be on the red list than a regular animal, and a red-list animal was also le likely to be a SLOH-er.This makes a lot of sense, as animals that hide away in a cave or a tree hole are protected by their physical shelters from a variable environment outside, while hibernators enjoy a flexible metabolism(新陈代谢)that can help them adapt to a changing climate.16.On the list of extinct animals studied, there were _____________.A.fewer SLOH-ers than regular animals B.more SLOH-ers than expected C.as many SLOH-ers as regular animals D.hardly any SLOH-ers 17.The phrase “a leg up” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.A.an instinct B.an advantage C.a fight D.a chance 18.The study of modem creatures ___________.A.is unrelated to the study of extinct animals B.finds evidence miing in the study of extinct animals C.has findings similar to those of the study of extinct animals D.reveals a different pattern from the study of extinct animals 19.According to the paage, red-list animals are more likely to ____________.A.be lazy B.be timid C.live long D.sleep le 20.In the last paragraph the author ____________.A.compares the behaviors of sleepers and hiders B.offers an explanation for the survival of sleepers and hiders C.analyzes how a changing environment affects SLOH-ers D.emphasizes what can be learned from SLOH-ers Questions 21-25 are based on the following paage: In computing, pawords are commonly used to limit acce to official users.Yet the widespread use of pawords has serious drawbacks.Office workers now have to remember an average of twelve system pawords.In theory they should use different pawords for each site, but in reality these would be impoible to remember, so many people use the same paword for all.An additional problem is that the majority use simple words such as “hello”, or names of family members, instead of more secure combinations of numbers and letters, such as 6ANV76Y.This permits computer hackers to download dictionaries and quickly find the word that allows them acce.When system users forget their pawords there is extra expense in supplying new ones, while if people are forced to change pawords frequently they often write them down, making systems even le secure.Therefore, it is clear that the idea of pawords, which have been used as security devices for thousands of years, may need rethinking.One poible alternative has been developed by the American firm Real User, and is called “pafaces”.In order to acce the system a worker has to select a series of photographs of faces from a randomly(随机地)generated sequence.If the pictures are selected in the correct order, acce is granted.This concept depends on the human ability to recognize and remember a huge number of different faces, and the advantage is that such a sequence cannot be told to anyone or written down, so is more secure.It is claimed that the picture sequence, which used photographs of university students, is easier to remember than pawords, and it has now been adopted for the United States Senate.21.What is the disadvantage of pawords as mentioned in Paragraph 1 ? A.They do not ensure security.B.They are difficult to remember.C.They have to be changed frequently.D.They limit computer acceibility.22.One can make a paword safer by _____________.A.inserting pictures between numbers B.avoiding the use of letters altogether C.setting up a firewall against computer hackers D.using complicated combinations of numbers and letters 23.“Pafaces” is a method to get acce to a system through ___________.A.remembering a large number of faces B.selecting photographs of faces one likes C.recognizing a sequence of face pictures D.showing one's face in front of the computer 24.One advantage of “Pafaces” over a paword is that ____________.A.it is easier to remember B.it is more complicated C.it takes le time to log in D.it allows one to write le 25.What does the author think of the paword? A.R is an old system that needs improvement.B.It provides as much security as before.C.R should be abandoned by computer users.D.It has developed to an advanced stage.Questions 26-30 are based on the following chart: FedEx Service Restrictions U.S.EXPRESS FREIGHT INTERNATIONAL EXPRESS FREIGHT INTERNATIONAL AIR CARGO 1 or 2 Day Freight 3 Day Freight International Priority Freight or Economy Freight International Premium or Expre Freight International Airport to Airport Minimum weight per piece or shipment 68kg 68kg 68kg No minimum restrictions No minimum restrictions Maximum weight per piece 997kg 997kg 997kg 997kg 997kg Maximum length Plus girth per piece 762cm 762cm 762cm 762cm 762cm Maximum length per piece 302cm 302cm 302cm 302cm 302cm Maximum height per piece 178cm 178cm 178cm 178cm 178cm
