34、er 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.4 For example, “bridge

35、” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 5 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 le

38、文舉出的例子可知,此處介紹的是隱藏信息的另一種方式：用符號(hào)或數(shù)字代替特定的字母。4.F根據(jù)上文出現(xiàn)的a code book以及下文列舉的例子可知，此處說明，用一本密碼本，你可以寫下代表其他單詞的詞語。5.A根據(jù)下文出現(xiàn)的also hard以及a code book可知，此處想要說明的是，沒有密碼本想要破解密碼是很困難的。Passage 6Everyone knows that fish is good for health.1 But it seems that many people dont cook fish at home.
