题目列表(包括答案和解析)
People are being lured (引诱)onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up their personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they're paying for Face book because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about facebook-you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things— your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认)to be shared with every one on the Internet.
According to Facebook's vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don't share information, they have a "less satisfying experience".
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the pages totally. Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. "I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them," Schrage admits.
I think that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it's only the beginning. That is why I'm considering deactivating (撤销)my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't trust. That's too high a price to pay.

A. Because they can get some money from Facebook.

Directions:Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.
These days, the word “emo” is used in the US for a range of different kinds of people, from those who are depressed to those who have long hair.If you prefer to keep things to yourself, this isn't called “ being shy” any more; it's called being an “emo”.If you often wear dark colors-such as black-instead of bright or happy ones, you're in an “emo” way.If you're male and have long hair, you're an “emo”.This one word seems to cover all sorts of different personalities, styles and ways of behaving.
Why does this word have such a vast range of meanings?How was it even made up?Well, “emo” is short for “emotional”, so obviously it was originally meant to describe over-emotional people.Yet somehow it came to take on meaning that seem to be quite remote from this one.I like to wear black a lot, for reasons of personal taste, not because I have any problems.I also have long, naturally dark hair.It's long just because I prefer long hair, and I am in a band.Also, I'm not a very talkative person, because most of the time I'm occupied with writing songs, or something along those lines.In any case, all of this has caused people to start calling me an “emo”.
Let me tell you what I think a real “emo” is, however.I think an “emo” is somebody who is constantly depressed, and always lets other people see his sadness or other negative feelings.I'm just tired of people who aren't really “emo” being called that just because of their appearances, and not based on any knowledge of what they're really like.
1.What will people say if you often wear dark colors?(No more than 4 words)
______________________________.
2.Which would be the best title for this passage?(No more than 6 words)
______________________________.
3.Why may a man with long hair not be an “emo”?(No more than 15 words)
______________________________.
4.In the author's opinion, what kind of person is a real “emo”?(No more than 12 words)
______________________________.
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It doesn't come as a surprise to you to realize that it makes no difference what you read or study if you can't remember it.You just waste your valuable time. 71 One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you.I'm just looking."? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it.But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses." She says, "Right this way, please."
__72_ If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing.But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how".
__73__ Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America".Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.
74 At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately.But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read.You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes.__75__ One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked by evidence, Opinions are one's own personal reactions.Another part of critical reading is judging sources.Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.
A.Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting.
B.It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
C.You remember better when you know what you' re reading.
D.In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.
E.It’s quite the same with your studying.
F.Reading is not one single activity.
G.This is the way it works.
