1.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(參議員) 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.

8.The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and GoogleA.
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.
9.Which of the following statements is TrueB?
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.
10.Mr.Schumer's letter to the F.T.C.mainly shows that the technology to open the door to privacy invasionC.
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.
11.Where can we read about the passageA?
A.In a newspaper.
B.In a magazine.
C.In a science report.
D.In a textbook.

分析 本文講的是蘋果公司和谷歌公司利用顯影劑可以在主人不知情的情況下從蘋果手機或谷歌安卓設(shè)備中獲取照片這時,這引起了Mr.Schumer和很多人的關(guān)注.Mr.Schumer先是向兩家公司領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人提出要求,后又給公平貿(mào)易委員會寫信,并說假如沒用,他還會走立法的道路.

解答 8-11 ABCA
8.答案 A  推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information我們問他們自己能否找個辦法防止蘋果可利用私人信息.故選A.
9.答案 B 推理判斷題.從文中我們知道,Mr.Schumer先跟蘋果和谷歌公司談?wù)摯耸,要他們想辦法解決,后又給公平貿(mào)易委員會寫信,甚至還要走立法的途徑.說明他很重視這件事.故選B.
10.答案C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第五段第一句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這讓人們擔心個人的照片,住址名冊還有其它的什么擔東西都可能被盜,甚至未經(jīng)允許在網(wǎng)上公布.故選C.
11.答案 A 推理判斷題.這時一篇新聞類的文章,應(yīng)該在報紙上看得到.故選C.

點評 1、要想做好科普英語閱讀理解題,同學們就要注意平時多讀科普知識類文章,學習科普知識,積累常見的科普詞匯,從根本上提高科普英語的閱讀能力.
2、要熟悉科普類文章的結(jié)構(gòu)特點.科普類文章一般由標題(Head line),導(dǎo)語(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主體(Main body)和結(jié)尾(End)五部分構(gòu)成.標題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來看,這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標題,而要同學們選擇標題.導(dǎo)語一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一個事實的起因.主體則對導(dǎo)語概括的事實進行詳細敘述,這一部分命題往往最多,因此,閱讀時,同學們要把這部分作為重點.結(jié)尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并與導(dǎo)語相呼應(yīng),命題者常在此要設(shè)計一道推理判斷題.  
3、在進行推理判斷時,同學們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學事實為依據(jù),同時所得出的結(jié)論還應(yīng)符合基本的科普常識.

Hotel rooms come in a variety of styles and price ranges. Despite differences m decoration and price, one thing most hotels have in common is a set of rules. Failure to obey these rules can result in fees or fines to cover hotel room damages, removal from the hotel or possibly even arrest.

Smoking

Some hotels are completely non-smoking. Some hotels designate smoking and non-smoking rooms. If you smoke in a non-smoking room, you will likely be fined hundreds of dollars and possibly asked to leave.

Number of Guests

Most regular hotel rooms are designed for two adults. If you have more than two people staying in the room, the hotel will likely charge an additional fee for each extra guest, though some hotels let children stay free. Do not put more than four adults in the room unless the hotels policy permits that many people. Or you might be fined or removed from the hotel

Hotel Reservations Requirements

Most hotels require a major credit card to reserve the room. You can pay cash at the end of your stay, but do not be surprised if there is a temporary charge on your card for a few days after your stay. Most hotels authorize a security deposit on your card to cover any possible damages to the room. Once the hotel confirms that the room is undamaged and that you do not break any hotel policies, your security deposit will be refunded.

Breaking the Law

You cannot break the law in your hotel room, just as you cannot break the law in your own home or in public. Do not do drugs or commit any other criminal act in the hotel room. If you do, you will likely be arrested.

Noise

Most hotels have a noise policy you must obey. If you are being too loud you will usually get a warning. If the noise continues and more complaints are issued, you will likely be kicked out of the hotel, regardless of what time it is.

1.What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To advertise the hotel rooms B. To show some rules of hotel rooms

C. To warn the customers D. To offer some tips of living in hotel rooms

2.You will NOT be asked to leave the hotel, if you .

A. make too much noise continually B. smoke without permission

C. have one extra guest to stay D. break the law

3.Why is there a temporary charge on your card for a few days after your stay?

A. Because the hotels may use the money to pay for possible damages caused by you.

B. Because the hotels want to confirm whether you have money.

C. Because the hotels need a major credit card to pay for the rent.

D. Because the hotels need to authorize a security deposit.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,在短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or 1. and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 2. _ When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. 3.__ All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. 4._, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋轉(zhuǎn)的)door. When it closes, it also opens. 5._.

A. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you

B. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person

D. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too

6.I work in a US factory that produces 4,500refrigerators every day.There was one worker in this huge factory who always seemed just a little strange.I've seen him around for years but never paid him much attention.He is short and scruffy (不整潔的)and walks around this big old factory on his breaks collecting aluminum cans (鋁罐).
Over the years I often ran into him as he walked to his old pickup truck on the coldest days with snow blowing and everyone with their collars turned up and their hands in their pockets.He would be there with a garbage bag full of aluminum cans.He'd toss (扔)it into the back of his truck and jump in.I'd reach my car and jump in and we'd all race to the exit of this big half-empty parking lot.
One day I was working on a broken machine in this factory and the can man came by with his bag,picking up cans.Our manager was standing there because the machine I was working on had been"down"for a couple of hours and he was getting worried that we might run out of parts for one of the assembly lines (裝配線).
As I was finishing,I stood up just as the manager asked the can man what he did with all those cans.I'd never thought to ask him that question because I always just assumed he cashed them in at the recycling center.
"I give them to my neighbor.He's epileptic (有癲癇病的),"the can man said.
"You mean you've been collecting all those cans for all these years for your neighbor?"I blurted out.
"It's not much,"he said."But I give them to him.He can't hold a job."
Right then and there I found myself looking straight at him.He was wearing a T-shirt and an old red baseball cap and he had a garbage bag full of aluminum cans in his hand.I don't even know his name,but I thank him for the lesson he taught me.

10.I like this job,in which I stay with small children and from which I get the challenges and awards.I also think my work is important.There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork.In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer.I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job.Looking after two little girls,it wasn't too bad at first.But the problems began when I agreed to live in,so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening.We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she'd give me time off the next.But unfortunately,it didn't often work out.I was getting extremely tired and fed up,because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

Now I've got a full-time job there.I shall always be thankful to Megan.Iwish I had known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren't top of the class at school.
