• 31．Could a Doodle （涂鸦）Replace Your Password？ Nearly 80 percent of Americans own a smartphone，and a growing proportion of them use smartphones to surf the Internet，not just when they're on the go．This leads to people storing considerable amounts of personal and private data on their mobile devices．
      Often，there is just one layer of security protecting all that data--emails and text messages，social media profiles，bank accounts and credit cards，even other passwords to online services．It's the password that unlocks the smartphone's screen．Usually this involves entering a number，or just laying a fingertip on a sensor．
      Over the past couple of years，my research group，my colleagues and I have designed，created and tested a better way．We call it "user-generated free-form gestures，" which means smartphone owners can draw their own security pattern on the screen．It's a very simple idea that is surprisingly secure．
      1．IMPROVING TODAY'S WEAK SECURITY
      It might seem that biometric （生物识别的） authentication （认证），like a fingerprint，could be stronger．But it's not，because most systems that let a user allow fingerprint access also require a PIN （Personal Identification Number） or a password as a backup method．A user ─ or thief ─ could skip the biometric method and instead just enter （or guess） a PIN or a password．
      Compared to other methods，our approach dramatically increases the potential length and complexity of a password．Users simply draw a pattern across an entire touchscreen，using any number of locations on the screen．
      2．MEASURING DRAWINGS
      As users draw a shape or pattern on the screen，we track their fingers，recording the directions and speed．We compare that track to one recorded when they set up the gesture-based login．This protection can be added just by software changes；it needs no specific hardware or other modifications to existing touchscreen devices．As touchscreens become more common on laptop computers，this method could be used to protect them too．
      Our system also allows people to use more than one finger - though some participants wrongly assumed that making simple gestures with multiple fingers would be more secure than the same gesture with just one finger．The key to improving security using one or more fingers is to make a design that is not easy to guess．
      3．EASY TO DO AND REMEMBER，HARD TO BREAK
      Some people who participated in our studies created gestures that could be articulated as symbols，such as digits，geometric shapes （like a cylinder） and musical notations which are easy for them to remember．Even a relatively simple symbol，like an eighth note，can be drawn in so many different ways that calculating the possible variations is computationally intensive and consumes plenty of time．This is unlike text passwords，for which variations are simple to try out．
      4．REPLACING MORE THAN ONE PASSWORD
      Our research has extended beyond just using a gesture to unlock a smartphone．We have explored the potential for people to use doodles instead of passwords on several websites．It appeared to be easier to remember multiple gestures than it is to recall different passwords for each site．
      In fact，it was faster．Logging in with a gesture took two to six seconds less time than doing so with a text password．It's faster to generate a gesture than a password，too．People spent 42 percent less time generating gesture credentials than people we studied who had to make up new passwords．We also found that people could successfully enter gestures without spending as much attention on them as they had to with text passwords．
      Gesture-based interactions are popular and prevalent on mobile platforms，and are increasingly making their way to touchscreen-equipped laptops and desktops．The owners of those types of devices could benefit from a quick，easy and more secure authentication method like ours．

• 32．请认真阅读下面文字及图表，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．
     As many as one in seven recent graduates in Britain may have cheated by using essay mills（论文工坊） during the last four years，according to a recent study．Essay mills，also known as "constrict cheating"，refers to companies offering essay-writing services for a fee which is hard to spot since the essays are written by humans or even tailored．Some British universities have seen decline in transitional plagiarism（剿窃） but this is now being replaced by constrict cheating，figures show．
     Experts have warned that essay mills have become more common，not only in Britain，but also across the world in recent years，with labor being outsourced to unemployed university graduates in counties like Kenya，India and Pakistan．Dr．Irene，academician manager at Coventry University and vice president European Network for Academic Integrity，said these figures are just the tip of the iceberg since so many instances go unnoticed．She added that students are being "bombarded（轰炸）" with advertisements for essay mills on social media as well as on campus．
