考点 阅读填句 (2016·全国卷) 话题:信息安全　　词数:295W　　难度: 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 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. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,论述了密码的种类及对信息安全的重要性。 36.【解析】选D。前句说人类使用密码的历史很长,后句说密码破译从未落后于密码编制,根据逻辑关系可知选择D项,即“只要有密码存在,人们就一直试图破译密码”。 37.【解析】选E。前句说密码学有三种主要形式,后句举例说明密码学的形式,这种形式即密码是由首字母组成的,故选择E项。 38.【解析】选G。本段说明密码学的第二种形式,由后面的叙述可知,这种形式用一个字(数字)代替另一个字(字母),故选择G项。由叙述顺序也可知道G项中的Another way是一种提示。 39.【解析】选F。前句说要想读懂密码信息必须有密码本,根据逻辑关系,下句应该说“有了密码本,你就可以写下那些代表其他字的字”,故选择F项。 40.【解析】选A。前面举例说明了第三种密码学的
