Part I    Writing
1. For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss how to get rid of this phenomenon. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
正确答案:Caution, Diploma Mills    As is shown in the picture, a representative from a private higher learning institution is trying to recruit a student with a big cage the way a hunter does to his prey. What this picture wants to convey is that nowadays some unqualified colleges, also called diploma mills, are trying to recruit more students despite their own accreditation.    A diploma mill sells college diplomas that require little or no academic work. Usually these un-reputable, unaccredited colleges love to prey on those suf
fering a setback in National College Entrance Examination. In most cases, these students are helpless and eager to catch any opportunity to further education. Hence it is easy for these colleges to take advantage of them. Whats more, its no wonder parents and students fell into that trap from time to time since these colleges are titled elegant names, and boast hosting one of the most renowned faculties in the world.    In my opinion, scrutiny, regulation and law enforcement involving diploma mills should be honed and enhanced. Besides, parents and students themselves should be more alert and make a thorough investigation before deciding on which university to attend.

Section B
听力原文:    Imagine hackers stealing top secret files from a military base. What if they dont need the Internet to pull data out of the facilitys computers? Instead, they can just infect an office printer and—with software alone— turn it into a radio. This sounds like sci-fi, but its now possible.(9)Security researchers at a Manhattan startup have discovered how to make any modern device—printer, washing machine, air conditioner— broadcast invisible, inaudible signals for miles. That2021年下半年教师资格证报名s a game changer—and a huge step forward for hackers.    The rapidly expanding $77 billion cybersecurity industry is all about guarding computer networks.

They found a way to sneak data out of a computer network without setting off any alarms.(10)Its groundbreaking research, because it also hints at the ability to steal data from computers that arent even connected to the Internet, like tho
se at nuclear facilities.    Last week, the team at Red Balloon Security demonstrated how it works to several news reporters. They infected a Pantum laser printer and toyed with its circuits, making it do something it was never meant to. By quickly switching a chips energy output back and forth, the printer emits electromagnetic radiation. The Red Balloon team calls it a 网络教育大专funtenna.(11)In fact, one of the only ways to detect this highly advanced tactic is by walking around with an AM radio.
