【导语】2022 年对于 IT 领导者来说既令人兴奋又充满挑战。想要在今年从 IT 中获得效益最大化，技术负责人应关注以下几点关键事项。
一月份是一个很自然的时间来暂停并确定你和你的团队在未来一年需要关注的优先事项。将高优先级的问题从所有其他使IT领导者已经繁忙的日程变得混乱的事情中分离出来，需要时间、洞察力和健康的直觉。
为了让你的工作更容易，这里有一个快速的纲要，八个关键领域，应该在你的议程的顶部。
一、加强网络安全技能
数据中心、互联和主机托管供应商 Cyxtera 的 CISO 兼该公司联邦小组主席 Leo Taddeo 认为，CIO 需要与他们的 CISO 以及其他企业领导者协作以解决网络安全的人才问题，并将发展与培养的高精尖人才库列为 2022 年的首要任务。
他解释说：“这不是一个有钱就可以解决的问题，而是向人才引进、发展和保留投入心血，”他补充说，”在这些工作上，时间和金钱缺一不可。”目前，网络安全的技术短缺困扰着众多公共组织或私营企业。今天的技术人才希望为敏捷、灵活且行动力强的组织工作。如果你招聘的速度慢人一步，你将会失去那些顶尖的候选人。
二、提高数字灵活性
IT团队需要从手工流程中解放出来，这样他们就可以变得更有生产力。分析软件公司SAS的首席信息官 Jay Upchurch 说：“这带来的效益在今天变得越来越大”。
一个团队成员可以简单地拿着一份重要的合同走到大厅，让同事亲笔签字的日子已经过去了。CIO 需要简化流程。Upchurch 指出：“现在你必须将文件数字化并共享，这样世界另一端的人也可以签署它。数字现实告诉我们，为了保证组织的全速运行，数字效率和安全比以往任何时候都更重要。”
电子元件供应商 Digi-Key Electronics 的 CIO Ramesh Babu 说：“我们每天都在发现可以将功能自动化，以更好地利用资源和人才的新方法。我们鼓励我们的团队寻找并提出我们可以自动化的新方法。我们欢迎每个人提出建议”。
三、推进自动化
数字化转型咨询公司 Computer Task Group 的全球IT解决方案副总裁 Olivier Saucin 建议，为了加速他们组织的数字化转型，CIO 应在今年启动积极的自动化战略。将重复和低成本的流程自动化，不仅可以帮助企业适应后疫情时代不断变化的客户需求，还能使企业更好地以可承受的方式满足日益增长的业务预期。
Saucin 同时指出，对于许多 CIO 来说，实现完全自动化系统的目标可能还需要一定时间，因此不必立即启动自动化转型。他建议首先从那些已经在平台和应用中建立了自动化的业务开始下手。Saucin 指出，这种方法 “在转向更全面的自动化转型之前，可以迅速显示出在速度、节约和质量方面的有效成果”。
四、致力于可持续发展
企业级网络软件公司 CTERA Networks 的 CTO Aron Brand 指出，对于许多企业而言，IT 支出占据企业大部分的碳排放量。运行数据中心、服务器、网络、存储、端点设备和各种支持服务所需的能源迅速增加。他解释说：“所有这些考虑现在都是IT组织议程的一部分，特别是大型企业，因为他们的客户和利益相关者对他们的碳排放不仅越来越感兴趣，而且是越来越重视，以及他们在减少生态足迹方面所做的工作”。
布兰德认为，我们星球的健康及其维持人类未来的能力这一首要主题使可持续性成为首席信息官的首要任务：“事实上，现在我们正在审查 COP26 气候峰会提出的最新问责建议，可持续性现在在组织的未来路线图中（更加）突出。各种规模的公司的IT团队都意识到这个任务，并将实施可持续发展计划，以减少能源消耗，减少电子废物，并实现碳中和。”
迁移到云端是一个组织减少其数据中心和IT运营的环境影响的最简单的方法之一。云计算减少了浪费。“云计算提供了一个资源池，企业可以‘随用随付’，也就是只利用它所需要的东西，” Brand 指出，“内部的数据中心必须配置备用容量，以便支撑未来的增长。但是，必须配置额外(容量)在数据库转移到云端后就不再成为一个问题了。”华东CIO大会、华东CIO联盟、CDLC中国数字化灯塔大会、CXO数字化研学之旅、数字化江湖-讲武堂，数字化江湖-大侠传、数字化江湖-论剑、CXO系列管理论坛（陆家嘴CXO管理论坛、宁波东钱湖CXO管理论坛等）、数字化转型网，走进灯塔工厂系列、ECIO大会等
云还提供了打造更环保的数据中心的机会。“云供应商已经在使他们的数据中心可持续发展方面进行了大量的投资，” Brand 说。“亚马逊、微软和谷歌等云服务提供商，通过强有力的激励措施降低成本。他们使用更高效的冷却系统，并将他们的数据中心定位在绿色能源地区附近。”
五、提升人才引进和保留水平
德勤咨询公司战略与分析部董事总经理 Lou DiLorenzo 指出，那些通过吸引人才来建立以创新为重点的现代化工程能力的 CIO ，可以使自己的企业获得职业选择的青睐，而这又将进一步使他们在竞争中处于领先地位并推动业务战略。 他说：“对于许多 CIO 来说，这需要他们审视自己的个人品牌、思考如何在文化、思维方式、职业道路等方面进行重大转变，以及在组织内部重塑对 IT 的看法。”
通过战略性地优先考虑人才引进和保留工作，CIO 可以确保他们将有合适的人才和技能组合来专注于关键任务的技术优先事项。DiLorenzo 建议制定一个围绕实现组织首要目标的、并基于客户为中心的计划。他指出：“战略步骤可以帮助首席信息官优先考虑真正有区别的技术技能，并聚焦于引进和保留顶级人才方面。做到这些，他们可以将他们内部不能实现的技术进行外包、自动化或寻找合作。”
六、致力于云
富国银行负责消费贷款技术和云计算整合的 CIO Steve Hagerman 建议，CIO 应该站在评估和整合新的云技术的第一线。他说：“ CIO 需要保持对最新产品研发的关注，以此确定哪些产品最有助于公司的数字化转型”。
Hagerman 认为他的组织的云过渡将在几个月内开始。这次迁移将采用混合的私有和公共多负载架构。他说：“我们把云计算转型作为一个优先事项，因为我们看到它可以为我们的社区和客户提供许多好处，包括更可扩展的工作负载、创新实践和增强的客户体验”。
由于安全问题，金融公司是最后拥抱公共云的企业之一。Hagerman 补充道：“我们向公共云整合的过渡是深思熟虑的，而且是战略性的，以便确保安全在我们的转型之路上发挥关键作用”。
七、加强隐私
IT领导者需要加倍重视隐私问题，以保护客户、顾客、合作伙伴和员工。移动广告归因平台提供商AppsFlyer的首席信息官Chily Fachler解释说：“作为 CIO，我们现在比以往任何时候都需要考虑隐私问题。首先，我们需要考虑保护人们的隐私权，并对我们在这方面的责任保持额外的警惕。”
Fachler 进一步补充道，“我们需要确保我们的战略、政策和流程以保护我们的数据和客户的隐私为重点，并按照这些方针指导和引导我们的决策。我们有必要为消除任何不当使用数据的诱惑打造一套企业级系统”。
八、与 COVID 病毒共存
随着医学保健专家不断提醒公众注意当下以及未来的病毒变异， CIO 正努力平衡居家办公和驻场办公的员工需求。
会计、税务和商业咨询公司 EisnerAmper 的董事总经理 Rahul Mahnayl 指出他的研究团队预计COVID 的影响在 2022 年不会发生重大变化，但同时相信预计企业会转向支持更多的交互工作，比如为适应混合办公的员工需要而设计的在线会议室。
Mahna 认为，随着 COVID 继续困扰着员工和运营，CIO 将需要适应不断变化的环境和工作要求。他指出：“回看 2020 年，当人们第一次居家办公时，那个最初阶段只是赋予所有人在办公室以外的地方工作的权利。下一个阶段将是创建强大的混合工作环境，这些环境可以有效运行，而且还有助于安全平台和交付系统”。

January is a natural time to press pause and establish the priorities that you and your team will need to focus on during the coming year. Separating high-priority issues from all the other things that clutter an IT leader’s already busy schedule requires time, insight, and a healthy dose of intuition.
To make the job easier for you, here’s a quick rundown of eight key areas that should be at the top of your agenda.

]
1. Strengthening cybersecurity skills
CIOs, working with their CISOs and other enterprise leaders, need to address the cybersecurity talent issue and place developing and training a deep talent pool at the top of their 2022 to-do list, says Leo Taddeo, CISO of data center, interconnection, and colocation provider Cyxtera and president of the firm’s federal group.
“It’s not a matter of just throwing money at the problem, but rather investing efforts into talent acquisition, deployment, and retention,” he explains, adding “it takes both time and money.”
There’s currently a cybersecurity skills shortage plaguing many public and private sector enterprises. Today’s technical talent wants to work for organizations that are agile, flexible, and can move quickly. “You’ll lose top-notch candidates if you’re slow to hire,” Taddeo warns.
2. Improving digital dexterity
IT teams need to be liberated from manual processes so they can become more productive. “The stakes are so much higher now,” says Jay Upchurch, CIO at analytics software firm SAS.
The days when a team member could simply walk down the hall with an important contract and have a colleague physically sign it are over. “Now you have to digitize and share the document so people on the other side of the world can sign it,” Upchurch says. CIOs need to streamline processes. “Our digital reality means digital efficiency and security are more important than ever to keep organizations running at full speed.”
“We are discovering new ways every day that we can automate functions to better utilize resources and talent,” says Ramesh Babu, CIO of electronic components supplier Digi-Key Electronics. “We’re encouraging our team to find and propose new ways that we can automate; we’re welcoming suggestions from everyone involved.”
3. Advancing automation
To accelerate their organization’s digital transformation, CIOs in 2022 should launch a proactive automation strategy, recommends Olivier Saucin, vice president of global IT solutions at Computer Task Group, a digital transformation consulting company. Automating redundant, cost-inefficient processes will not only help enterprises accommodate evolving customer needs following the pandemic but also better position organizations to affordably meet increasing business expectations, he notes.
The goal of implementing fully autonomous systems is likely a step or two away for many CIOs, so the transition doesn’t have to happen immediately, Saucin says. He suggests beginning by prioritizing areas where automation is already built into platforms and applications. Such an approach, Saucin notes, “will quickly show proof of success in terms of speed, savings, and quality before moving to more autonomous capabilities.”
4. Committing to sustainability
For many enterprises, IT spending represents the bulk of their carbon footprint, says Aron Brand, CTO of enterprise network software company CTERA Networks. The energy required to operate data centers, servers, network, storage, end-point devices, and various support services mounts up quickly. “All of these considerations are now part of the agenda of IT organizations, especially large enterprises, as their customers and stakeholders become more and more interested, even concerned, about their ecological footprint and what they are doing about shrinking it,” he explains.
The overarching theme of the health of our planet and its ability to sustain humanity going forward makes sustainability a top priority for CIOs, Brand says. “In fact, now that we are reviewing the latest recommendations for accountability coming from the COP26 Climate Summit, sustainability is now [more] prominent in organizations’ roadmaps for the future,” he states. “IT teams at companies of all sizes understand the mandate and will be implementing sustainability programs for reducing energy consumption, decreasing electronic waste, and achieving carbon neutrality.”
Moving to the cloud is one of the easiest ways for an organization to reduce the environmental impact of its data center and IT operations. The cloud reduces waste. “The cloud provides a pool of resources where an enterprise can ‘pay as it goes’ and utilize only what it needs,” Brand notes “In-house data centers are built with spare capacity to allow for future growth,” he says. “That extra [capacity] typically built in becomes a non-issue when moving to the cloud.”
The cloud also offers access to greener data centers. “Cloud providers have already heavily invested in making their data centers sustainable,” Brand says. “With strong incentives to reduce their costs, cloud providers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google use more efficient cooling systems and locate their data centers in areas where they are close to green energy sources.”
5. Upgrading talent recruitment and retention
CIOs who make their organization a career destination by attracting talent to build modern engineering capabilities with a focus on innovation have the best chance to get ahead of competitors and drive business strategy, says Lou DiLorenzo, managing director of strategy and analytics at Deloitte Consulting. “For many CIOs, this requires careful consideration of their personal brand, a significant shift in culture, mindset, career paths, and reframing the perception of IT within their organizations.”
By strategically prioritizing hiring and retention efforts, CIOs can ensure they will have the right talent and skillsets to focus on mission-critical technology priorities. DiLorenzo suggests developing a plan that’s tied to achieving what matters most to the organization, anchored in customer centricity. “Strategic steps can help CIOs prioritize the truly differentiating technology skillsets and develop a laser focus on hiring and retaining top talents,” he notes. “From there, they can outsource, automate, or partner for skills that they don’t have in-house.”
6. Committing to the cloud
CIOs should be on the front line of evaluating and integrating new cloud technologies, suggests Steve Hagerman, CIO of consumer lending technology and cloud integration at Wells Fargo. “CIOs need to stay on top of the latest product developments to determine which will be most helpful for their company’s digital transformation,” he says.
Hagerman says his organization’s cloud transition is set to begin in a few months. The migration will feature a hybrid private and public multiload architecture. “We are making cloud transformation a priority because we see the many benefits it can offer our community and customers, including a more scalable workload, innovative practices, and an enhanced customer experience,” he says.
Due to security concerns, financial companies are among the last enterprises to embrace the public cloud. “Our transition to public cloud integration has been deliberate and strategic — ensuring that security plays a crucial role in our transformation journey,” Hagerman states.
7. Reinforcing privacy
IT leaders need to double-down on privacy to protect customers, clients, partners, and employees. “We, as CIOs, need to be thinking about privacy now more than ever,” says Chily Fachler, CIO of mobile ad attribution platform provider AppsFlyer. “First and foremost, we need to think about protecting people’s rights to privacy and being extra vigilant in our responsibilities in this area,” he explains. “We need to ensure that our strategy, policies, and processes are focused on protecting our data and our customers’ privacy, and guide and steer our decisions along these lines.” Fachler adds that enterprise systems must be constructed to remove any temptation to use data inappropriately.
8. Coping with COVID
As healthcare experts continue to alert the public to current and future viral variants, CIOs are working to support the needs of both home and on-site-based employees.
Rahul Mahna, managing director of accounting, tax, and business advisory firm EisnerAmper, says his research team doesn’t expect COVID’s impact to change significantly in 2022, but he does anticipate enterprises moving to support more cross-fusion work, such as on-site conference rooms designed to accommodate the needs of hybrid employees.
With COVID continuing to afflict employees and operations, Mahna says CIOs will need to adapt to evolving environments and work requests. “Back in 2020, when people were first sent home, the initial phase was to empower all workers to work away from the office,” he notes. “This next phase will be to create robust hybrid work environments that function effectively and still facilitate secure platforms and delivery systems.”

When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks (挫折) to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.
Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.
Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,” she wrote in her book Breaking Night.
She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time.”
Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.
24. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. how Liz managed to enter Harvard University
B. how Liz struggled to change her life
C. why Liz loved her parents so much
D. the hard time Liz had in her childhood
25. In which order did the following things happen to Liz?
a. Her mother died of AIDS.
b. She worked at a petrol station.
c. She got admitted into Harvard.
d. The movie about her life was put on.
e. She had trouble finding a place to sleep.
A. b, e, a, d, c B. a, b, c, e, d C. e, d, b, a, c D. b, a, e, c, d
26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Both Liz’s father and mother are AIDS-infected patients.
B. Liz lived a hard time in her childhood.
C. Liz’s story is an inspiration to many people.
D. Liz hated her father because he got addicted to drugs.
27. What actually made her go towards her goal?
A. Envy and encouragement. B. Willpower and determination.
C. Decisions and understanding. D. Love and respect for her parents.
C
Throughout history, music spread among people of different cultures. In today’s technological advanced society, however, people spread music online, sometimes without an artist’s permission. This can lead to many problems, and music companies are now cracking down on this practice. Sharing music online without permission is theft.
Sharing music online prevents recording companies from making money from their efforts. They say that sharing music online has resulted in a huge drop in profits and sales over the past 10 years. People who find music for free online are not paying for CDs or every MP3 downloaded. To truly understand the influence of music piracy on creators, one must understand how many people are involved in the recording process. For the sale of each album, profits must be shared between musicians, sound engineers, music producers, managers, advertisers, and the company selling the product. Many people believe sharing music only affects the recording artist, but the reality is that sharing hurts business for all companies involved.
There are many people who don’t see the harm in sharing music online and even think they have the right to do it. One online blogger states that he originally paid for an entire CD and that he should be able to do with the material whatever he wants. While he may have legally paid for the music, he does not have the right to provide permission, which means people like the blogger are thieves.
Although we don’t spread today’s music the same way we did before, there’s no doubt that people around the world love to share music. However, internet piracy would prevent musicians from continuing producing albums for fear of theft. Therefore, if people want to continue listening to their favorite artists, they need to buy their music so that artists will make enough profit to continue their music careers.
28. The underlined phrase “cracking down on” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. bringing up carefully B. speaking highly of
C. dealing seriously with D. destroying completely
29. We can learn from the text that ________.
A. sharing music files online affects a lot of people
B. artists are taking action to protect their right
C. online music sharing increases sales of music CD
D. a person who bought a CD has the right to share it online with others
30. How is the text organized?
A. Topic—Argument—Explanation
B. Introduction—Supporting statements—Conclusion
C. Main idea—Comparison—Supporting statements
D. Opinion—Discussion—Description
31. What is the author’s attitude toward music piracy?
A. indifferent B. favorable C. disapproval D. skeptical
D
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated（综合的） systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components（零部件）,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies（相互依赖性） on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically, it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”
32. Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly?
A. They did not have sufficient fund.
B. There was no model in their mind.
C. No ready-made components were available.
D. It was hard for them to put together the components.
33. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. The robotic fly has been put into wide application.
B. The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system.
C. Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly.
D. The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present.
34. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.
B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.
D. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. The Development of Robotic Fly
B. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
C. Harvard’s Efforts in Making Robotic Fly
D. Robotic Fly Promotes Engineering Science

Soon after my arrival in Luanda, I realized that I was going to have some free time available. I decided to 41 it doing something useful and involving with the 42
community.
I started my research for volunteering opportunities here and a blog post 43 my
eye. It was Ashima’s 44 on how she started her 45 journey in Luanda. Ashima has been volunteering at the Foundation for Art and Culture for more than a year. I decided to 46 with them and soon after I got a very warm and welcoming 47
inviting me to the foundation. The next day as I 48 into the foundation little did I know it would become such a(n) 49 part of my life in Luanda.
I was a bit hesitant 50 as I had never worked with children before and my Portuguese then was much 51 than now. But as I slowly started doing some activities with children, there were not any 52 . All that you 53 was a heart full of love and everyone 54 the language of love.
I found plenty of 55 to do with kids, keeping them busy and having fun. Together we played, sang, learned new things, 56 new games and reinvented the old.
The children coming to the Foundation are wonderful, and full of 57 and energy. It is a beautiful place with wonderful projects. Without doubt it is the best 58 I could have found in Luanda, and I am very 59 to go there as often as I can. The staff 60

第二节：（共10小题；每题1.5分，共15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
What’s your definition of 61________(great)? I think the definition is to inspire the people next to you. You grow up as a kid 62________(think)that all things are possible, if you put in the work to do it. You grow up having that fundamental belief. My father was really influential at a really critical time. I scored not a free-throw, not a 63.________ (luck) shot, not a breakaway layup, 2-0 points and I remember crying about it and being upset about it. My father gave me a hug and said listen 64________ you score zero, score 60, I love you no matter what.
That is the most important thing that you can say to a child that 65_______(total) gives me all the confidence in the world. I just went to work; I just stayed with it and kept practicing. When I came back the next summer, I was a little bit 66________(good). Open shots and not miss. We ever shoot it with speed because those kids are so much more athletic.
So how can we teach our children what it means 67________(work) hard well? You do it through training right so when I get up in the morning. My 15- year -old daughter goes 68________ me and it becomes a daddy-daughter training. Through that process she understands 69________ value of hard work, so it’s through those behaviors 70________ I find the motivation to know what is losing feel like to you.
“Why did you start playing basketball? Because I loved it; because nothing in this world moves without love.”

I took our foreign teacher Mr. Brown, he came to China for the first time, to Sha Potou in last weekend. Having told about the history of NingXia, he was amazing at this wonder. He was struck by the beautiful of the mixture of sand and water. So I took photo of him, which would be a good memory for him. At the top, Mr. Brown was very interested in the activities of protecting the environment that he was eager to join in and sign her name. Both Sha Potou and a NingXia people deep impressed him.
