　　A San Diego boy Kristoffer Von Hassel has attracted the gaming world's attention after he exposed a security weakness that let him log into his dad's Xbox Live account, without permission.

　　Kristoffer's father, Robert, noticed soon after Christmas that his son was logging into his account and playing games that weren't appropriate for his age. When he asked how, Kristoffer showed him a hack that seems simple but is fairly impressive considering a 5-year-old boy found it.

　　Kristoffer would go to his dad's account and type in an incorrect password. That would take him to a password verifications screen, where he would simply tap the space bar repeatedly and then press “Enter”．

　　“How awesome is that！” said Davies, who works in online security himself. “Just being 5 years old and being able to find a vulnerability and getting attached to that. I thought that was pretty cool.” He told KGTV that Kristoffer has figured out three or four other “hacks”， including getting past the lock on a smartphone by holding down the “home” key for long enough.

　　Davies reported the vulnerability to Microsoft. And Microsoft acted, issuing a fix for it. “We're always listening to our customers and thank them for bringing issues to our attention，” the company said in a written statement. “We took security seriously at Xbox and fixed the issue as soon as we learned about it.”

　　The company has even included Kristoffer's name on a list of security researchers who have helped make online Microsoft products safer. For his discovery, or more accurately, for reporting it with his father's help, Kristoffer will receive four games, $50 and a year's subscription to Xbox Live from Microsoft.

　　答案

　　Ⅰ.

　　A

　　1．解析：on/upon　考查固定短語。depend on/upon“依靠，取決于”，為固定短語。

　　2．解析：that/which　考查定語從句。分析句子成分可知，“__2__represented the hope and joy of spring”是定語從句，修飾a color，從句中缺少主語，故用that或which。

　　3．解析：are given　考查動詞的時態和語態及主謂一致。主語children和give之間存在邏輯上的動賓關系，且此處是在講述一般情況，另外主語為復數，故填are given。

　　10．解析：if/when　考查狀語從句。所以如果你想要少吃點/當你想少吃點的時候……根據句意可知，此處用if引導條件狀語從句，或者用when引導時間狀語從句。B

　　1．解析：robbery　考查名詞。你是這起搶劫案的重要目擊者。語境表明空處用名詞，故填rob的名詞形式robbery。2．解析：made　考查時態。結合上下文可知，此處表示的是過去發生的事情，故用一般過去時。3．解析：a　考查冠詞。此處泛指“一件兇器”，故用不定冠詞a。4．解析：to use　考查非謂語動詞。threaten后用不定式作賓語，故填to use。5．解析：younger　考查形容詞比較級。結合“He was just a kid.”可知空處用比較級。6．解析：else　考查副詞。我記不清楚他還穿了別的什么。else“別的，其他的”，符合語境。7．解析：for　考查介詞。ask sb.for sth.“向某人要某物”，為固定搭配。8．解析：what/all (that)　考查從句。分析句子結構可知，此處可用what引導表語從句或that引導定語從句修飾all。9．解析：if　考查狀語從句。分析句子結構可知，空處引導條件狀語從句，故用if。10．解析：touch　考查名詞。keep in touch with sb.“(與……)有(或進行、保持等)聯系”，為固定短語。

　　2．解析：選A　詞義猜測題。根據第一段中的“after he exposed a security weakness”并結合畫線詞所在的句子可知，vulnerability應指“安全漏洞”，因此選擇A。

　　3．解析：選C　觀點態度題。根據倒數第二段中的“And Microsoft acted, issuing a fix for it.”及“We took security seriously at Xbox and fixed the issue as soon as we learned about it.”可知，微軟公司對Davies報告的問題采取了認真負責的態度，對漏洞進行了及時的修復。因此選擇C。
