Researchers from the UK’s Lancaster University, as well as the Peking and Fujian Normal universities in China, tested passwords. 【4】 They guessed passwords for more than 73 percent of ordinary users, accounts. Hackers could even guess a third of the harder passwords in 100 tries, reported the Daily Mail.

According to researchers from Bloomberg Businessweek, using upper and lower cases(大小寫) in your password is a good way to make is safer. Adding numbers and/or symbols to your password can also be of great help.

【解析】本文是一篇介紹密碼相關(guān)內(nèi)容的說明文，文章開頭介紹現(xiàn)如今密碼界的現(xiàn)狀，人們是如何設(shè)定密碼的，接著介紹了黑客是如何攻克人們密碼的，再者介紹了人們?cè)撊绾卧O(shè)定密碼來提高賬戶的安全性。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容“People have to remember passwords for everything, from their email to online banking and internet shopping.”人們不得不記住所有事物的密碼，無論是電子郵件還是網(wǎng)上銀行還是網(wǎng)絡(luò)購(gòu)物。C項(xiàng)意為密碼必須很難被他人猜中才可以”該句比較符合上下文故該空選C.本題考察了考生對(duì)于文章開頭部分內(nèi)容的理解，旨在促進(jìn)考生對(duì)文章的理解能力。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)“A leaked Yahoo database showed that the most popular passwords were still “123456” and “password”.”一項(xiàng)泄露的雅虎數(shù)據(jù)表明，現(xiàn)如今最受歡迎的密碼仍舊是123456和“password”故本題選擇D本題考查了考生對(duì)于文章前后段落相關(guān)性的理解程度，有助于加強(qiáng)考生閱讀理解分析問題的能力。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容“These people are trying to make life easy for themselves.”這類人群正在嘗試讓生活變得簡(jiǎn)單一些。聯(lián)系上下文故本題選擇F.本題考查了考生對(duì)于文章中單句話的理解，通過仔細(xì)閱讀單句抓住該句所要表達(dá)的深層含義，以達(dá)到更好理解文章的目的。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容“ They guessed passwords for more than 73 percent of ordinary users, accounts. ”他們猜測(cè)超過百分之73的常規(guī)用戶和賬戶的密碼。故本題選擇E。該題旨在考查考生理解上下文的能力，通過上文中講到一般用戶密碼的設(shè)定過于簡(jiǎn)單，引出下文的受到黑客攻擊，是考生更好的理解文章內(nèi)容。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章下文內(nèi)容“Experts suggest that a user should change his or her password every 90 days to keep hackers guessing.”專家們認(rèn)為每九十天更改一次密碼以確保他們賬戶的安全。得知人們應(yīng)當(dāng)為不同的賬戶設(shè)置不同的密碼，故本題選擇B項(xiàng)。本題旨在考查考生對(duì)于文章內(nèi)容的理解，通過更好的掌握文章內(nèi)容來達(dá)到做題準(zhǔn)確的目的。
