My 11-year-old son and I rides bikes to and from his school every day. I accompany him on the 20-minute ride through Manhattan, drop him off and return at the end of day to pick him up. We always ride together; sometimes he leads; sometimes I do. And as we ride, we communicate the ways to minimize (使減少或縮小到最低限度) the dangers: Don’t go too fast, and watch out for doors suddenly swinging out from parked cars and jaywalking pedestrians, etc. Some friends worry about the risk of riding in traffic, but is there a better way to let my son know how to deal with traffic dangers?

But recently he requested me to start hanging back a half block or so. This way he could enjoy the feeling of riding on his own, with the security of knowing that I was nearby in case he needed me. This is healthy, of course, as my son needs space to develop independence in preparation for his inevitable (不可避免的，必然發(fā)生的) departure from home. However, that means soon he will want to ride to school on his own, and I will no longer have this wonderful routine. “Let your children go if you want to keep them.” I understand this and am trying to let my son go in age-appropriate phases, but I still suffer. It’s one of the most troubling experiences of parenthood — recognizing that your presence is becoming less welcome.

My dilemma as a husband mirrors the concern I feel as a parent. My wife has just left on a six-month mission to cover the situation in Libya. In the days leading up to her departure, we spoke openly about the possibility, however unlikely, that she might be killed. But while I influence her decisions, I do not control them. Finally, it was her decision. I know that letting go is the wisest path in this case too.

As we travel through life’s phases, we must let go of so much. And I don’t think it gets easier with practice. But maybe just accepting that eventually we will have to let go is the secret to living a full life.

1.Why does the writer accompany his son on his daily ride to school?

A.To build up his strength.

B.To teach his son to ride in traffic.

C.To tell his son the way to school.

D.To communicate more with his son.

2.Although he thinks his son’s request understandable, the writer ________.

A.is worried about his son’s safety

B.is angry for his son’s leaving alone

C.feels upset for being rejected by his son

D.feels sorry for not giving his son enough space

3.What does the writer’s wife do?

A.She is a soldier. B.She is a politician.

C.She is a media person. D.She is a businesswoman.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Letting go. B.Father’s love.

C.Living a full life. D.Lessons from riding.

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆重慶第一中學高三12月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Researchers recently found that hackers took control of 300,000 home routers(路由器). Once your home router has been controlled, hackers could redirect your network to malicious websites controlled by hi-tech thieves who could then steal your online back details and other sensitive data. However, there are some simple steps you can take to protect your router.

Say no to 12345 passwords

First, never leave your router open without a password and make sure you change both your Wi-Fi and router login password from the default one it comes with. If you use the default password , this could give someone access to the router setup, which could allow them to change your router settings, including viewing any security keys.

Don't broadcast it

Make sure you don't show up in other people's wireless network scans. Know your network name so you can easily enter it into any devices you want to access that network. Other people do not need to know your network name. To prevent outsiders from seeing your network's name and attempting to join your wireless network, turn off broadcasting in your router's settings.

Invite only please

One way you can ensure no one else joins your network without your permission is to enable your router to only allow certain devices to connect, and ban all others. To do that you can filter by media access control (MAC) addresses.

Turn it off

This is a simple piece of advice that can go a very long way in keeping you safe. Simply turn off your router when you're not using your network. If you're at work all day and no one's home, why keep it running?

Build a firewall

The firewall built into your router prevents hackers on the internet from getting access to your PC so it's always worth enabling it to help add an extra layer of security. However, it does nothing to stop people in range of your Wi-Fi signal from getting onto your network – and as said, a router in the wrong place means your Wi-Fi signal could reach pretty far.

For further protection, you should run software firewalls on the individual PCs on your networks.

1. If you use the default password, ______________.

A. your home router will be linked to some bad websites.

B. you will find it’s very convenient to surf the Internet

C. your home router will be changed for new settings.

D. you will fail to use your own login password

2. What should be done to shelter your wireless network?

A. To build a firewall into your router.

B. To think out a complicated login password and use it.

C. To shut off your router when you find it not safe.

D. To switch off broadcasting in your router settings

3. The purpose of the passage is to tell____________.

A. how to keep your Wi-Fi network secure

B. how to deal with your home router efficiently

C. how to locate the hackers on the Internet

D. how to prevent others from joining your network.

Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician, and so Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph. D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematic provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.

In 1930, Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and he became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others).

World War II hugely changed Neumann’s areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure (純粹的) mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several contributions. After the war, Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died in 1957 of cancer.

Neumann really was a legend(傳奇) in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of this legend. He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”

1.According to the text, Neumann’s father believed that __________.

A. a mathematician needed a good memory

B. a mathematician couldn’t earn a lot of money

C. Neumann has a gift for solving problems at a high speed

D. Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same time

2.How did World War II affect Neumann?

A. He lost interest in chemistry.

B. He realized the importance of engineering.

C. He began to research how to put mathematics into practice.

D. He left college and served at the government department.

3.Which of the following is true of Neumann?

A. He had three children.

B. He died from an accident.

C. He received many awards in his life.

D. He and Einstein were classmates in Princeton University.

4.From the last paragraph, we can infer Neumann was ________.

A. humorous B. calm C. intelligent D. brave
