16、ond job to pay his bills has come up with a brilliant way to supplement his income-people walking.Chuck McCarthy originally considered becoming a dog walker to earn some extra cash, but soon realized that the job required more than walking dogs on a leash. However, walking people didnt require much
17、when they were out on walks. Chuck realized there was money to be made if he walked people around Los Angeles instead.It might sound like a joke, but The People Walker, as he calls himself, is very serious about his new job. For $7 per mile, he offers to walk with clients around L.A., listening to t
18、heir problems or simply making conversations and offering them a sense of security.

19、ho dont feel safe walking alone in some areas, and those who are afraid that people might see them walking by themselves and think that they have no friends. “I wear my The People Walker shirt upon request and on the first walk with a new client, so they can be 100% sure its me,” McCarthy says. Howe
20、ver, he admits some people are a bit uncomfortable with this policy, as they dont necessarily want everyone to know that theyre being walked.So far, Chuck McCarthy has already had another five people walkers employed, covering various areas, like downtown L.A., Hollywood, Eagle Rock, or Fairfax. Onc
21、e he posted signs around the city, his phone started ringing and clients began rolling in.

25、nd religion. The African elephant used to be found all over Africa and the Asian elephant moved from Syria to China to Indonesia. Nowadays, elephants are found in small groups in the south of the Sahara Desert and scarcely in Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka and India.In the early twentieth century, there
26、were close to ten million elephants, and now the elephant number is as low as 252,000 and expected to drop down to 160,000 by 2025. Between 2007 and 2014, the elephant population fell by at least 30%, or 144,000 elephants. As researchers have traveled over the African plains, they only spotted one h
27、erd of 36 elephants in an area like the size of Mexico. It is clear that these gentle mammals are disappearing right before our eyes.There are many reasons why the elephant population has been decreasing, one of which is their habitat. Humans are competing with elephants for living space, and as mor
28、e and more humans clear the land that is being used by elephants, the elephants have less space. Elephant hunting or “poaching” has been a major factor for the disappearance of this species, and they are killed only for their valuable ivory tusks. Although the trade of tusks is illegal, it is still
29、a common practice in many places.Often, all the local people living among elephants would be farmers, and found that they could make more money by selling the tusks of one elephant, than doing manual labor for twelve years. That alone makes it really hard to prevent them from killing the elephants.S
30、ome places such as Botswana, have put in extra effort to protect their wildlife from poachers by founding their Botswana Defense Force, which is made up of around 700 specially-trained soldiers that are stationed in 40 different areas. You may feel worried about the present situations elephants are

34、 elephants.D. To introduce the decreasing number of elephants.DThere is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town, city or country: natural disasters. The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming. Though technology helps us prepare, bu
35、t it never actually tells the people when its going to hit. It is always estimated but the result is never 100% accurate.However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One was a major flood that
36、 has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice, Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage of the two tragedies.As for the flooding in Louisiana, it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since Super-storm Sa
37、ndy and itll cost at least $30 million. In only the first couple of weeks, 13 people had died. However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.In Italy, however, it covered all media instantly. The earthquake in I
38、taly happened on Tuesday morning. That same day, I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed. Every other post was about the earthquake. Some would have the opinion that Amatrice, Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country. I got in deep sorrow because there were mor
39、e people killed in this quake than the flooding. So far, they have a total of 73 dead and over one hundred missing.I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered a
40、nd taken equally seriously. We are one world united and should be there for all of the people who are in need of help. We may not be able to accurately predict disasters but, we can surely lend a hand out for the needy.32. What really concerns the author about the two natural disasters?A. The death
41、and the injured.B. The media report.C. The governments responsibility.D. Their economic loss.33. Why did the author learn about the flood so late?A. He didnt care about the flood. B.

42、 can be inferred from the passage?A. Italy isnt good at predicting the natural disasters.B. All natural disasters should be covered equally.C. The world should be united into one instantly.D. America should help Italy predict natural disasters.35. How is the text mainly developed?A. By making a comp
43、arison. B. By following the time order.C. By listing some examples. D. By analyzing the causes.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。When it comes to the Internet, passwords which people often use are under fire. 36 Research has shown that passwords are not a very good
44、way to protect sensitive information.People would use some random characters, numbers and symbols. Furthermore, a unique password would be used for every site or application the user uses. Unfortunately, the more complex they become, the more people are likely to forget their passwords. The longer t
45、he passwords are, the more easily forgotten they are. 37 Google is trying to kill off the password on Android devices by introducing the Trust API, which does what simple passwords cannot. It gives developers a framework for securing their applications using a number of security systems and metrics
46、(指标 ) on the device. A Trust Score will be generated based on the metrics the device gathers. 38 The Trust Score will be generated based on both metrics like your device location, face scanning, fingerprint and so on. Taken one at a time, these metrics are not secure. But taken together, these metri
47、cs will help define the real “you”.39 This summer, Google will be running tests with some banks to see if Trust API meets their needs before rolling out to all developers later this year. It may take another year for apps and popular sites to start using the Trust API.This is a pretty exciting chang
48、e. Passwords have been around for long and although the security of systems has been improved, the convenience of systems hasnt been improved much. 40 Maybe that never-ending conflict between security and convenience will be able to take a break once the Trust system comes out.A. Google appears to h
49、ave the best of them.B. Actually its been under fire for a long time.C. People tend to care more about its advantages.D. Google has already been testing this on the real world.E.
