专题17阅读新题型 2016年高考试题 1.【2016·全国新课标I】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example “bridge“ might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. A.It?is?very?hard?to?break?a?code?without?the?code?book.B.In?any?language,?some?letters?are?used?more?than?others.C.Only?people?who?know?the?keyword?can?read?the?message.D.As?long?as?there?have?been?codes,?people?have?tried?to?break?them.E.You?can?hide?a?message?by?having?the?first?letters?of?each?word?spell?it?out.F.With?a?code?book,?you?might?write?down?words?that?would?stand?for?other?words.G.Another?way?to?hide?a?message?is?to?use?symbols?to?stand?for?specific?letters?of?the?alphabet. 【答案】 36.-40 D E G.F A 【解析】 试题分析：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了密码的设置和破解的方法。比如利用该字母在字母表中排序的数字来代表该字母，或者利用一些单词的首字母来组成一个密码等。 36.D考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。后句内容可以判断该空应该和密码的破译有关，故判断D项内容As?long?as?there?have?been?codes,?people?have?tried?to?break?them.符合语境逻辑，可以承接上下文。 37.E考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。后面举的例子是来证明人们设置密码时往往会利用一些单词的第一个字母来作为密码，由此判断E选项内容符合语境逻辑。 38.G考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。
