Question

19．A San Diego boy Kristoffer Von Hassel has 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 found it．
      Kristoffer would go to his dad's account and type in an incorrect password．That would take him to a password verifications （確認） screen，where he would simply tap the space bar repeatedly and then press"enter．"
"How awesome is that？"asked Davies，who works in online security himself．"just being 5 years old and being able to find a vulnerability I ty 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 take 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 subseription to Xbox Live from Microsoft．

分析 文章大意：本文主要講述了一個五歲的男孩竟在不知道密碼的情況下，用父親的賬號成功地登錄了Xbox Live游戲平臺，從而暴露了微軟公司的一個安全漏洞．

解答 46．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一、二段的內(nèi)容可知，一個五歲的圣地亞哥男孩引起了游戲界的關注，因為他在不知道密碼的情況下成功地登錄了父親的游戲賬號，從而暴露了微軟公司的一個安全漏洞，因此選擇D．
47．A 推理判斷．根據(jù)段落中的描述"type in an incorrect password"、"take him to a password verifications （確認） screen"、"tap the space bar repeatedly and then press"enter．"可知第三段主要講的是 Kristoffer如何登陸到他父親的賬戶．故選擇A．
48．A 詞義猜測題．根據(jù)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．
49．C 觀點態(tài)度題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)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(tài)度，對漏洞進行了及時的修復．因此選擇C．
50．B 標題歸納題．一個五歲的男孩竟在不知道密碼的情況下用父親的賬號成功地登錄了Xbox Live游戲平臺，從而暴露了微軟公司的一個安全漏洞，因此B項最適合做文章的標題．
