Commercial Street 508-487-73341.Which restaurant offers a special breakfast for early risers?A.Fanizzis Restaurant.B.Napis Restaurant.C.Mews Restaurant.D.The Red Inn.2.What is special about The Red

about?A.Accommodation.B.Life styles.C.Sightseeing.D.Dining.BThis year researchers expect the world to snap 1.35 trillion photographs,or about 3.7 billion per day.Allthose pixels(像素)take up a lot of room if they are stored on personal computers or s phones,which is onereason why many people store their images in the cloud.But unlike a hard on drive which can be encrypted toprotect its data,cloud storage users have to trust that a tech platform will keep their private pictures safe.Now ateam of Columbia University computer scientists has developed a tool to encrypt(加密)images stored on manypopular cloud services while allowing authorized users to browse and display their photographs as usual.Malicious(恶意的)attempts to access or leak cloud-based photographs can expose personal information.InNovember 2019,for example,a bug in the popular photograph storage app Google Photos mistakenly sharedsome users private videos with strangers.Security experts also worry about employees at cloud storagecompanies on purpose accessing users images.So the Columbia researchers came up with a system called Easy Secure Photos(ESP),which they presented ata recent conference.“We wanted to see if we could make it possible to encrypt data while using existing services,”says computer scientist Jason Nieh,one of the developers of ESP.“Everyone wants to stay with Google Photos andnot have to register on a new encrypted-image cloud storage service.”To overcome this problem,they created a tool that preserves blocks of pixels but moves them around toeffectively hide the photograph.First,ESPs algorithm(算法)divides a photograph into three separate files,eachone containing the images red,green or blue color1 data.Then the system hides the pixel blocks around amongthese three files(allowing a block from the red file,for instance,to hide out in the green or blue ones).But theprogram does nothing within the pixel blocks,where all the image processing happens.As a result,the filesremain unchanged images but end up looking like grainy black-and-white ones to anyone who accesses themwithout the decryption(解密)key.4.Whats probably the main purpose for people to store images in the cloud?A.To save storage room.B.To make photos beautiful.C.To try a new storage way.D.To keep their privacy safe.5.Why might employees in cloud storage companies be distrusted by experts?A.They sell users passwords.B.They have invented new tools.C.They often let out personal information.D.They may steal a glance at users images.6.Whats the advantage of ESP?A.It can provide clear images.B.It can decrease the upload time.C.It can classify images automatically.D.It can encrypt data on the original platform.7.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A.Method of decryption.B.Image-processing technique.C.Separate files of images.D.Data analysisof color1 s.CLast year,138,000San Franciscoresidents used Airbnb,a popular app designed to connect home renters andtravelers.Its a striking number for a city with a population of about 850,000,and it was enough for Airbnb to wina major victory in local elections,asSan Franciscovoters struck down a debatable rule that would have placed timerestrictions and other regulations on short-term rental services.The company fiercely opposed the measure,Proposition F,with a nearly$10 million advertising campaign.Italso contacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them to vote against Proposition F.Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app.The service works for one-night stays on roadtrips and longer stays in cities,and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels.Its a textbook example ofthe“sharing economy”,but not everyone is a fan.The app has had unintended consequences inSan Francisco.As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year,a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the companys image:middle-class families putting upa spare room to help make ends meet.Some users have taken advantage of the service,using it to turn theirmultiple properties into vacation rentals or even full-time rentals.Backers of Proposition F argued that this trendtakes spaces off the conventional,better-regulated housing market and contributes to rising costs.“The fact is,widespread abuse of short-term rentals is taking much needed housing off the market andharming our neighborhoods,”said ShareBetter SF,a group that supported Proposition F.Hotel unions haveprotested the companys practices inSan Franciscoand other cities,saying that it creates an illegal hotel system.San Franciscois in the middle of a long-term,deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of livingexplode.Actually,explode is a generous term.The average monthly rent for an apartment is around$4,000.Located on a narrow outcropping of land overlooking the bay,San Franciscosimply doesnt have enough space toaccommodate the massive inflow of young,high-salaried tech employees flocking toSilicon Valley.As the Los Angeles Times reported,someSan Franciscoresidents supported the measure simply because itseemed like a way to check a big corporation.Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runsmuch deeper,and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve thecitys existing problems.8.The intention of Proposition F is to _.A.place time limits in local election.B.set limits on short-term rental.C.strike down a controversial rule.D.urge users to vote against Airbnb.9.What is the negative consequence of Airbnb onSan Francisco?A.It shrinks the living space of middle-class families.B.Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.C.It makes the house market more competitive.D.It indirectly leads to high house rental price.10.The housing crisis inSan Franciscoresults from _.A.explosion of the living costB.its geographic characteristicsC.generosity of local enterprisesD.inflow of migrant population11.Theauthors attitude toward Proposition F is _.A.objectiveB.supportiveC.negativeD.indifferentDIdentifying the chemical makeup of pigment(色素)used in ancient documents,paintings,and watercolor1 sis criticalto restoring and conserving the precious artworks.However,despite numerous efforts,scientists hadbeen unable to determine the source of folium,a popular blue dye used to color1 manuscripts(手稿)in Europeduring the middle ages from the 5th to the 15th century.Now,a team of researchers fromPortugalhas finallyuncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color1 that helped bring ancientillustrations and texts to life.The research team began byporing overinstructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th,14th,and 15th centuries.They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitledThe Book on How to MakeAll the Color Paints for Illuminating Books.However,translating the instructions was no easy task.It was written inthe now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language,and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant,noname was mentioned.However,by piecing together suggestions from the text,the scientists were able to determine that the dyewas made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant.After an extensive search,the teamfound a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town ofMonsarazin southPortugal.The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues including the best time to pick the berries.“You need to squeeze the fruits,being careful not to break the seeds,and then to put them on linen(亚麻).”Thescientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment,producing an inferior quality ink.The dyed linen,which was left to dry,was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times.When needed,the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the bluecolor1.Once the key ingredient had been identified,the researchers began to determine the dyes molecularstructure.To their surprise,they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes it was anentirely new class of color1,one they named chrozophoridin.“Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to makea beautiful blue dye for painting.”the team wrote in the study.“Thus,we believe that this will not be our finalword on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”12.The primary purpose of the study is to _.A.restore and conserve ancient precious artworksB.determine the substance making up the foliumC.prove the ancient dye-making technique was organicD.identify which class of color1 folium belongs to13.The underlined phrase“poring over”in the second paragraph means _.A.discussing publiclyB.testing repeatedlyC.passing directlyD.reading carefully14.What can be learned about the blue dye folium?A.It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B.It was the only kind made from wild berries.C.It could be carried and used easily.D.It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.15.The article is mainly about _.A.how the mystery ofa thousand-year-old blue dye was solvedB.why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dyeC.what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plantD.when and where the discovery of the dye was made第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0 分）分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项We expect
