    It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.

    Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.

    “We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”

    On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.

    “It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F. T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”

    Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.

    He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative approach.”

    The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.

    1.The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google_______.

    A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy.

    B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.

    C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos.

    D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo.

    2.Which of the following statements is True?

    A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.

    B. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.

    C. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.

    D. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.

    3.Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the technology to open the door to privacy invasion_______.

    A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.

    B. can be used if permitted.

    C. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information.

    D. causes personal information to be posted online without permission.

    4.Where can we read about the passage?

    D. In a textbook.

    America is growing older．Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older．Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65．The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business．Quietly, the graying（老龄化）of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages．

    A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his / her social position, marriage or health．There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family．The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be．It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time．Public ideas are changing．

    Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother-or my father- was at my age．" No one says "Act your age" anymore．We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways．

    1.It can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in America ______．

    A．has made people feel younger

    B．has changed people’s social position

    C．has changed people’s understanding of age

    D．has slowed down the country’s social development

    2.The underlined word ‘one’ refers to _______．

    A．a society

    B．America

    C．a place

    D．population

    3."Act your age" means people should _______．

    A．be active when they are old

    B．do the right thing at the right age

    C．show respect to their parents young or old

    D．take more physical exercises suitable to their age

    4.If a 25-year-old man become general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _______．

    A．normal

    B．wonderful

    C．unbelievable

    D．unreasonable

    I remember my' mother as a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12-old enough to remember her language, she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in computer science, she finally became the manager of a company in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, say "wolves" correctly.

    It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time l was born,1 was read to. 1 would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents' voices, whether it was my dad's softly accented, or my mother's clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English , the stream of communication flowed through our house.

    One October morning in sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city ,I left the house for the bus stop. 1 was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer ,I saw my mother lying on the ground.

    In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colors, it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mother's mind and mouth: her mind was not any less clear, but the words she spoke were not what she meant.

    The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given, and knowing any-thing about anyone is impossible. Without language, communication cannot take place. Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.

    1.From the second paragraph, we can know____.

    A. the author was taught to read since she was born

    B. the author's father spoke English poorly

    C. the author couldn't fall asleep without being read to

    D. the author's parents taught her language by talking a lot

    2.According to the last two paragraphs, the author's mom was unable to

    A. think clearly

    B. express herself well

    C. speak

    D. open her mouth

    3.This passage is mainly about ______.

    A. a strong mother

    B. the importance of language

    C. a family disaster

    D. the significance of teaching language

    China Merchants Bank Co Ltd has teamed up with ride-hailing major Didi Kuaidi to provide automobile financing and expand its reach in China's booming mobile payment industry.

    The two have inked a comprehensive partnership, which includes a strategic investment by the former in the latter. Under the partnership, CMB will become the first bricks-and-mortar bank that can offer in-app credit card payments to Didi users. At present, users of Didi can only choose third-party payment solutions like WeChat Payment and Alipay to pay cab fares.

    Zhao Ju, vice-president of CMB, said the cooperation with Didi was an important step in its mobile Internet finance strategy. “CMB's mobile payment is going to enter a new chapter by leveraging Didi Kuaidi's vast user base," he said.

    According to a report by China Internet Network Information Center earlier this month, Didi holds 87.2 percent of China's private car hailing market. The company said it has received 1.43 billion car-hailing requests on its platforms in 2015, which means 1.43 billion payments were made via smartphones.

    CMB is expected to use Didi to reach the core users of China's mobile payment market. Jean Liu, president of Didi, said many of the expats prefer payment by credit card rather than Alipay or WeChat. "The new partnership will help improve service quality and customer loyalty," she said. The investment makes CMB part of Didi's existing investors, including Tencent Holdings Ltd, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and China Investment Corporation. Both of the companies declined to reveal the actual amount of the investment.

    Liu, who showed up on Tuesday for the first time in public after her treatment for breast cancer, said the cooperation with CMB is for the long run and "the capital investment is only part of it".

    Under the partnership, CMB and Didi will cooperate on a wide range of initiatives on financial services and online-to-offline cooperation. Apart from the in-app credit card payments, the two companies are going to launch joint credit cards in late February and automobile financing services for Didi's car owners. CMB's branches across China are expected to help Didi recruit more drivers.

    "There is a lot of room for imagination in our partnership," Li said, adding in future people may use their CMB credit card reward points to pay for the ride on Didi.

    Li Chao, an analyst with iResearch Consulting Group, said the partnership may not significantly boost CMB's mobile payment business. "Didi has educated the market for three years and its customers have formed the habit of paying by WeChat or Alipay. So I think CMB can only turn a very smart proportion of Didi users into its payment customer," he said. "But the move shows that China's traditional banking industry is finally thinking out of the box and looking for outside partners in Internet finance competition," he said.

    Statistics from Big-Data Research showed that more than 90 percent of China's 9.3 trillion yuan ($1.41 trillion) worth of third party mobile payment market is donated by Alibaba and Tencent.

    1.Which of the following sentences is true about Didi Kuaidi ?

    A. The users of Didi can pay cab fare in cash.

    B. At present, Didi holds the largest market of China's private car hailing business.

    C. With several years of development, the users of Didi have abandoned the third-party payment.

    D. CMB will become the most important investor of Didi.

    2.Which of the following is not the purpose of CMB’s cooperation with Didi? .

    A. CMB is expected to use Didi to reach the core users of China's mobile payment market.

    B. Through the cooperation with Didi, CMB will help improve service quality and customer loyalty.

    C. CMB will launch joint credit cards with Didi to expand its service.

    D. CMB will turn a very large proportion of Didi users into its payment customer.

    3.What can be inferred from the passage?

    A. CMB's mobile payment is going to enter a new chapter.

    B. China's traditional banking industry is facing fierce Internet finance competition.

    C. CMB and Didi will have a online-to-offline cooperation.

    D. Mobile payment market is donated by Alibaba and Tencent.

    4.What’s Li Chao’ attitude towards the partnership between CMB and Didi?

    A. cautious B. positive

    C. indifferent D. disapproving

    5.The main idea of this passage is that ___________.?

    A. CMB develops partnership with Didi Kuaidi.

    B. CMB is looking for outside partners in Internet finance competition.

    C. Didi Kuaidi is going to enter a new chapter.

    D. Alibaba and Tencent dominate the mobile payment market.
