After all, just a few short years ago, he was living on the streets couch-surfing at friends’ houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the world’s leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen’s University over 4,000 miles away. Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members. Through his high school and community college years, he moved from house to house,living with friends at times and living on the streets at others. Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life, Emanuel involved himself in school--doing everything he could to earn extra tuition (学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn’t get a regular student loan. Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters. Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different. “I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen’s. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed.” 21. What does the underlined word “pinch-me” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Expected. B. Unbelievable. C. Awkward. D. Anxious. 22. What happened to Emanuel in his childhood? A. His father was dead. B. He lived on the streets. C. He was once adopted. D. He lived with his friends. 23. How did Emanuel afford his university education? A. By receiving a regular student loan. B. By earning the tuition all by himself. C. By borrowing the money from friends. D. By getting support from the government. 24. What can we learn from Emanuel’s story? A. Well begun is half done. B. It’s never too old to learn. C. You are the master of your life. D. Lost time is never found again. B Several years ago, when someone used camera covers to protect against possible monitoring, it was not popular to talk about it. Today, people use various types of tapes to cover the web cameras and microphones. There are many types of spyware that can dive into our devices and secretly spy on them,recording everything they do. Such programs may infect not only computers but also smartphones. Your data may be used by hackers who will try to request money for notexposing your private information or by companies like NSO Group who created the Pegasus spyware to “provide authorized governments with technology that helps struggle againstterror and crime”. In my opinion, the described protection technique is highly overestimated. Users tape cameras and microphones due to the lack of understanding of how their devices work and how malware (恶意软件) works. Hackers and even secret services do not have enough resources to monitor all victims using cameras or microphones. If they need to get any information, they get it by sending a targeted malware to your device, which will not be stopped by the tapes. Such a virus will find what to steal from personal photos and videos to passwords from social networks, browser history, bank accounts and much more. It is unwise to believe that attackers will not be able to find a way to spy on you, even if the device, discharged to zero, can still deliver data about your location, using the smartphones of the surrounding people as signal repeaters. Let us face it, we live in an era when it is extremely difficult to hide something, and a piece of tape is clearly not the most useful tool in the struggle for your privacy. Again, to be able to spy on you, attackers need to plant malware in your device. To prevent malware from entering your device, do not click suspected links and email attachments. Use strong passwords for email, social media and online banking accounts. 25. What is NSO Group? A. A group of hackers. B. A company developing spyware. C. A group of terrorists and criminals. D. A company fighting against crime. 26. Why does the author think “the protection technique is highly overestimated”? A. People know little about their devices. B. Hackers have no access to others. C. It hardly prevents malware from getting privacy. D. It can't cover the cameras completely. 27. What is
