Many Web sites collect personal information. Some Web sites ask for personal information before granting (许可) access. You may be asked for your full name, age, address and telephone number. Other Web sites collect information in more ways such as making a record of your Internet Protocol (IP) address and of the Web pages you visit. Web sites do this by placing one or more “cookies” on the hard drive of the computer you are using. “Cookies” are small files of text that can collect and store information such as:
● the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer;
● how many times you have visited the site;
● your preferences, such as a preferred language;
● your user name and password;
● items in your “shopping cart”;
● Web sites you’ve visited.
This information allows Web sites to identify (识别) you the next time you visit. This makes it unnecessary for you to identify yourself every time you visit a Web site. However, cookies also enable Web sites or marketing networks to create a profile (简介) of you based on the information you have provided, often for advertising purposes. Once the information is collected, it can be used in countless ways. It can be difficult to determine what happens to personal information on the Internet.
Obviously, the best way to protect your personal information is never giving it to a Web site, but that’s not always practical. Using the Internet to shop, get services and get information is convenient for many people. These activities may require the use of personal information.
48. According to the text, cookies ______.
A. are good for our body B. can be bought online
C. can help us visit Web sites D. are viruses in computers
49. Which of the following can be used to describe “cookies”?
A. Every coin has two sides. B. Early birds catch worms.
C. Happy beginnings lead to sad endings. D. Seeing is believing.
50. The text mainly tells us ______.
A. how Web sites steal your personal information
B. Web sites requiring personal information are not reliable
C. shopping online is dangerous
D. to be careful when giving personal information online

Most parents love the Internet and want their kids to use it. But a new survey in America finds almost as many also fear the online world—especially social networking sites such as My Space—and worry their kids will get in trouble with people they meet.
“The parents see the web’s incredible potential(可能性), and they know their kids have to be there.” says James Steyer, CEO of Common Sense Media, which released results from a survey that looked into parental attitudes toward the Internet. “It is also what they are scared of most.”
The study was conducted online May 5-10 by Insight Research Group. It says 80% of parents are concerned about kids meeting bad people online. That’s because young people who largely have grown up with the Net think of it as a social outlet(出口), say the researchers. To young people, the benefits of giving out some personal information to reach out to friends outweigh the risks. And the study shows they are so comfortable with the medium that 78% have a personal website or blog.
Parents also recognize the importance of the Internet. The survey shows 91% think the Net helps their children explore their passions, and 77% think the Internet is one of the most valuable education tools teens have. But 88% think it’s important to know what their kids are doing online.
Findings suggest both parents and teens need more education about using online media, Steyer says.
Internet safety has become an increasing concern for parents in America. Organizations like the Non-profit Common Sense have been trying to reach and help parents pay attention to the problem.
In the second paragraph, the underlined word “It” refers to_____.
A. Common Sense Media B. the result of the survey
C. the web’s incredible potential D. the website called My Space
Why do young people give out their personal information?
A. They think it has more advantages than disadvantages.
B. They want to make themselves famous by doing that.
C. They want to have a personal website each.
D. They want to get some information from others.
Most parents think it is important to know_____.
A. where their children give out the information B. what kind of websites they have
C. how often they go online D. what their children are doing online
From the passage we can infer that_____.
A. children are too young to know how to use the Internet
B. parents must teach their children how to use the Internet
C. parents also need to learn more about using the Internet
D. the Internet is the most valuable tool for children to learn

And shop only at secure sites; Send your credit-card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system.
If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Website address may also start https: //—the extra “s” stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.

New media has been growing fast and influencing people’s lives in ways few things have done before. In 2010, China’s new media industry witnessed explosive development. But with “new” comes uncertainties and challenges. The following are brief reviews on the development of China’s new media and outlooks on its future.
I. Micro-blogging (微博)
Short and convenient, micro-blogs also experienced “a big bang” in China last year, with the number of micro-bloggers at China’s popular portal(门户网站) sina.com.cn almost doubling in less than six months. Afterwards, the other three major web portals, including sohu.com, qq.com and 163.com, each set up their own micro-blogging services. With more government officials and entities(实体) registering, China’s micro-blogging services are expected to play a more important role in connecting the public and the governments in 2011.
第一节 Search Engines
Baidu’s position in the search engine market would face fierce challenges from sohu.com,
Microsoft’s Bing and goso.cn from the People’s Daily. Xinhua is also preparing to start its search engine together with China Mobile, a leading company in mobile networks. Goso and Xinhua both have the advantage of providing content, while Bing has a big edge in technology and funds. They are expected to pose threats(威胁) to Baidu in 2011.
第二节 Internet of Things
IoT refers to a network of real-world objects linked by the Internet and interacting through on-line services. China set up its first IoT research center in Shanghai in March 2010.Within the same week, Premier Wen Jiabao stated in the annual government report that it would “accelerate the research and development, as well as application of the Internet of Things. ”
However, some experts say China’s IoT is still in an early stage, and it’ll take a long time for it to let the public enjoy its full functions.
40. What is the text mainly about?
A. Some major media in China.
B. China’s new media and its future.
C. The development of China’s on-line services.
D. China’s early-stage IoT and its major functions.
【小题1】How many web portals are mentioned in Paragraph 2?

To many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing prey, meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a men cast away on an island of solid rock，totally out of touch and destined to starve to death. So important is the web to an orb-web spider's survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier, it constructs a wider-meshed （网孔、网眼）web using fewer strands（线）. Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider. The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and reuses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactivity, labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down. Scientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spider's highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate（无脊推动物）. If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finishes building a normal web. One spider will finish building the incomplete web of another.
1.Which of the following best expresses the main ideas of the passage?
A. Secrets of Spiders' Adaptability
B. Importance of Webs to Spiders
C. Secrets of the Spiders' Life
D. Spiders' Highly Preprogrammed Brain
2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Most spiders will stop conducting webs when hungry.
B. One Web-building spider usually conducts one web.
C. Web-building spiders will probably die without their webs.
D. Web-building spiders have good eyesight.
3.The underlined word “scrawnier” in the second paragraph probably means ______.
A. weaker but good-looking
B. fatter and stronger
C. nice and healthier
D. thinner and bony
4.A spider's ability to finish an incomplete web proves that ______.
A. it has a highly preprogrammed brain
B. it reuses its web protein to reproduce new silk
C. the web is everything for a spider
D. it is able to rebuild a destroyed web
