Itall began with the idea of using the Internet as a transmission medium for data and applications. As technology advanced, the costs of storage and bandwidth became more affordable, making cloud computing a viable option. Today, cloud services range from simple file storage to complex application delivery, and they are accessible via web browsers or special software applications.The benefits of cloud computing are numerous. First, there is no need for costly hardware or maintenance. Cloud providers handle all the backend operations, ensuring that the service runs smoothly without requiring any intervention from users. Second, cloud services are highly scalable, meaning they can handle sudden increases in demand without additional investment. Third, cloud computing encourages collaboration and mobility, as users can access data and applications from anywhere with an internet connection. Finally, cloud services often come with robust security features, which are continuously updated, minimizing the risk of data breaches.However, cloud computing also comes with challenges. Security remains a significant concern, as data is stored remotely and vulnerable to cyberattacks. Additionally, there is the issue of data sovereignty, where data stored outside a country’s borders may be subject to the laws of that country. Furthermore, some companies may be hesitant to switch to cloud services due to the lack of control over their data, a common concern known as “control issues.”Questions:1、What is the main idea of the passage?a) The history of cloud computing.b) The benefits and challenges of cloud computing.c) The security concerns of cloud computing.d) The scalability of cloud computing.2、Why did cloud computing become practical recently?a) Because of the decreased costs of storage and bandwidth.b) Because of the widespread availability of the Internet.c) Because of the advancement in technology.d) Because of the decreasing demand for hardware.3、What are the benefits of cloud computing mentioned in the passage?a) No need for costly hardware, scalability, collaboration and mobility, and robust security features.b) High scalability, easy maintenance, and data sovereignty.c) Low costs, easy access, and increased data security.d) Remote access, data availability, and decreased bandwidth requirements.4、Which of the following is a challenge of cloud computing?a) The lack of mobility.b) The high costs of hardware.c) The security risks associated with remote data storage.d) The limited availability of web browsers.5、What is the common concern known as “control issues” mentioned in the passage?a) Users have no control over their data.b) Users have control over their data, but it is stored remotely.c) Data stored outside a country’s borders may be subject to the laws of that country.d) Users can choose to control their data through special software applications.Answers:1、b) The benefits and challenges of cloud computing.2、a) Because of the decreased costs of storage and bandwidth.3、a) No need for costly hardware, scalability, collaboration and mobility, and robust security features.4、c) The security risks associated with remote data storage.5、a) Users have no control over their data.七、阅读理解-仔细阅读（选择题，共20分）First Reading Comprehension Part AReading PassageThe following is a passage about the importance of exercise for mental health and productivity.
