  读写任务 （共1题， 满分25分）

阅读下面的短文， 然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

There is no doubt that watching television can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored.

One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a    broader view of the world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch.         Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess   great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and   may try to imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies. And this is just what most parents and our society are worried about.

With the every-increasing popularity of video entertainment, we must pay attention to these effects.

III．阅读（共两节，满分40分）

第一节  阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    Can you imagine a stranger will read your e – mails without your permission or scan the website you’ve visited or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills? All of the things may happen to you one day.

In fact，it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen or even do something that may bring a disaster to you.

     Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, and that it's important to reveal to friends, family and lovers at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain nowadays. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to know who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can leak the deepest thought in your mind. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.

The key question is：Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no”.

When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most of them say they are really concerned about losing it. And 60 percent of the respondents say they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me”. 

But people say one thing and do another．Only a small of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy．Few people turn down a discount attollbooths (收费站)to avoid using the EZ—Pass system that can track automobile movements. Privacy economist Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give up personal information such as telephone number, address, or social security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠券).      But privacy does matter—at least sometimes．It's like health；when you have it，you don’t notice it．Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it. Without privacy, one will be naked in front of others.

41．What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?

    A．Friends should open their hearts to each other．

    B．Friends should always be faithful to each other．

    C．There should be a distance even between friends．

    D．There should be fewer quarrels between friends

42．Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”?

    A．Modern society has finally developed into an open society．

    B．People leave traces around when using modern technology．

      C．There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs．

    D．Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities．

43．What do most Americans do about privacy protection?

    A．They change behavior that might disclose their identity．

B．People turn down a discount at tollbooths to avoid using the EZ – Pass system.

C．They rely more and more on advanced technology.

    D．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.

44．According to the passage，privacy is like health in that___________.

    A．people will make every effort to keep it

    B．its importance is hardly understood

    C．It is something that can easily be lost

    D．people don’t value it until they lose it

45．What would be the best title for the passage?

       A．No privacy, no health.

       B．Treasure your privacy.

       C．Boundaries are important between friends.

       D．The information age has its own shortcomings.
