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.

43.  Why do people give their personal information to Facebook according to Paragraph 1?

A.  Because they can get some money from Facebook.

B.  Because their information is not important.

C.  Because they are promised to have a fun and free service.

D.  Because they can also get other people's information.

44.  What does the author say about most Facebook users?

A.  They are unwilling to give up their personal information.

B.  They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook.

C.  They don't identify themselves when using the website.

D.  They care very much about their personal information.

45.  Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?

A. To give better service to its users.  B. To obey to the Federal guidelines.

C. To improve its users' connection.   D. To expand its business.

46.  Why does Senator Charles Schumer support publicly?

A.  Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.

B.  Banning the sharing of users' personal information.

C.  Making regulations for social-networking sites.

D.  Removing ads from all social-networking sites.

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.

  No matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain:you are familiar to the mosquito, although you probably wish you weren't.Mosquitoes are everywhere.They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species(种).Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.

  No one loves the mosquito.But unfortunately, the mosquito may decide who she loves.She?Yes, she.Do you know that only the female mosquito bites?Well, it's true.And it's not because she is unfriendly; she needs blood to reproduce.Do you know how the female mosquito decides whom to bite?She is quite selective, and she chooses her victims(猎物)carefully.First, she uses sensors to find her victim.These sensors are located on her two antennae(触角)and her three pairs of legs.With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat.If she likes what she finds, she bites.But if you are not attractive, she'll reject you for another one.The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you are chosen.You are special.

  If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her long nose tip.Long nose tip?What's that?It's a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito's eyes.It contains six sharp instruments called stylets.She thrusts all six stylets into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood pipe, she'll get a full dinner in about a minute.All this usually takes place so quickly and quietly that you may not have doubted anything is happening.

  Why does a mosquito bite itch(痒)?The itch is not really from the bite.It's from the saliva(口水)the mosquito mixes with your blood to keep it from being blocked as she sucks up her long nose tip.By the time the itch begins, she has gone.

  And then what happens?Well after her delicious dinner, the mosquito is tired.She just wants to find a place to rest.Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot on a leaf, a wall or a stone to quietly lay her eggs.Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition-a finding that could help break away from some chemicals.Cream and butter contain pretty much the same things, so why cream should go bad much faster has been a problem.Both are small globules(小球)of one liquid which spreads throughout another.The difference lies in what's in the globules and what's in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the research.In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water.In butter, globules of a watery roads are locked away in a sea of fat.The bacteria(细菌)which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery areas of the mixture.“This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” he says, “when in butter, the bacteria are locked away in locked places buried deep in the sea of fat.Trapped in this way, those colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out.They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products.” “In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing.” says Brocklehurst.The researchers are already working with food companies eager to see if their products can be made to stand bacterial attack through changes of the food's structure.

  Brockelehurst believes it will be possible to make something used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter.The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid state.

(1)

The significance(意义)of Brocklehurst's rescarch is that ________.

[  ]

A.

it discovered small globules in both cream and butter

B.

it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without using some chemicals

C.

it showed the secret of how bacteria increase in cream and butter

D.

it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition

(2)

According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by ________.

[  ]

A.

changing its structure

B.

killing the bacteria

C.

reducing its water

D.

removing its fat

(3)

The underlined word “colonies” refers to ________.

[  ]

A.

tiny globules

B.

watery regions

C.

the surrounding liquid

D.

bacteria society

(4)

Commercial use of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made to stand bacterial attack ________.

[  ]

A.

by changing its chemical composition

B.

by turning it into a solid lump

C.

while its liquid form remains
