14.Facebook is the world's biggest social networkingsite.People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun,freeservice without realizing they're paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.
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 Facebook 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 you could keep everything private.That was the greatthing 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 (默認(rèn)),to be shared with everyone 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(批評(píng)家) think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money.In original business model,which involved selling ads and putting them in 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(催促) 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 suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy,it's only the beginning,which is why I'm considering cancelling(取消)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 know.That's too high a price to pay.
28.What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?D
A.It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married
B.It earns money by putting on advertisements
C.It provides loads of personal information to its users
D.It makes money by selling its users'personal data
29.What does the author say about most Facebook users?D
A.They are unwilling to give up their personal information
B.They care very little about their personal information
C.They don't identify themselves when using the website
D.They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook
30.Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?B
A.To obey the Federal guidelines
B.To provide better service to its users
C.To improve its users'connection
D.To expand its business
31.Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A
A.He doesn't want his personal data badly used
B.He finds many of its users untrustworthy
C.He is dissatisfied with its present service
D.He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

分析 Facebook通過免費(fèi)的、有趣的服務(wù)吸引著眾人,但為此人們付出了沉重的代價(jià)--泄露了大量的個(gè)人信息.

解答 28---31 DDBA
28:D 細(xì)節(jié)題.由第一段第一句"People are being tricked into…by giving up loads of personal information"可知,因?yàn)橐粋(gè)關(guān)于有趣、自由服務(wù)的承諾,人們現(xiàn)在正被騙進(jìn) Facebook,他們沒有意識(shí)到通過讓出大量的個(gè)人信息,他們正在付錢給 Facebook.因此作者對(duì)于 Facebook 這個(gè)社交媒體是持消極態(tài)度,意在批判它將人們的私人信息做不正當(dāng)處理,D項(xiàng)符合語境.A項(xiàng)與題意無關(guān),B項(xiàng)在第一段未涉及,C項(xiàng)與文章大意相悖.故正確答案為D.
29  D:推斷題.第二段第一句"Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening…people don't really know what their personal data is worth"說明,大部分 Facebook 用戶并未意識(shí)到他們正在用自己的私人信息來換取服務(wù),即使他們知道,他們也不知道自己的私人信息有多有價(jià)值.即,F(xiàn)acebook 利用用戶的私人信息掙錢,同時(shí)并不讓他們知道.由此我們可推測(cè)是用戶的私人信息使 Facebook 壯大,讓其掙錢,B項(xiàng)符合題意.文章并未指出人們是否愿意讓出私人信息,一切在他們不知情的情況下就發(fā)生了,排除A項(xiàng);C項(xiàng)文章未提到;B項(xiàng)不合邏輯.故正確答案為D.
30:B 細(xì)節(jié)題.由第四段副總裁 Elliot Schrag 所說的話"the company is simply making changes to improve its service…they have a less satisfying experience"可知,公司做出規(guī)則改變僅僅是為了提升其服務(wù)質(zhì)量.B項(xiàng)符合文意.A、C、D項(xiàng)均與題干不符.
故正確答案為B.
31:A 細(xì)節(jié)題.由最后一段第一句"I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy…which is why I'm considering cancelling my account"可知,我懷疑目前為止 Facebook 做了哪些事情來侵犯我們的隱私,因此作者想要取消 Facebook 賬號(hào).作者關(guān)注的重心一直都是個(gè)人隱私是否會(huì)遭侵犯,并且全文的主旨在于批判 Facebook 社交媒體將用戶個(gè)人信息做不正當(dāng)使用,因此A項(xiàng)符合文意.C項(xiàng)文章未涉及,B項(xiàng)與文章大意無關(guān),D項(xiàng)與題干無關(guān).
故正確答案為A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是,僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案,這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱.所謂閱讀理解,對(duì)于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文,因此,每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對(duì)比與核查,再得出答案.也就是說,閱讀理解的每一道題目,在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處,我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句,(1)排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)(2)排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  (3)排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)(4)注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除.

5.Everywhere man is altering the balance of nature.He is facilitating the spread of plants and animals into new regions,sometimes deliberately,sometimes unconsciously.He is covering huge areas with new kinds of plants,or with houses,factories,slag-heaps and other products of his civilization.He exterminates some species on a large scale,but favors the multiplication of others.In brief,he has done more in five thousand years to alter the biological aspect of the planet than has nature in five million.
Many of these changes which he has brought about have had unforeseen consequences.Who would have thought that the throwing away of a piece of Canadian waterweed would have caused half the waterways of Britain to be blocked for a decade,or that the provision of pot cacti for lonely settlers'wives would have led to Eastern Australian being overrun with forests of Prickly Pear?Who would have prophesied that the cutting down of forests on the Adriatic coasts,or in parts of Central Africa,could have reduced the land to a semi desert,with the very soil washed away from the bare rock?Who would have thought that improved communications would have changed history by the spreading of disease-sleeping sickness into East Africa,measles into Oceania,very possibly malaria into ancient Greece?
These are spectacular examples; but examples on a smaller scale are everywhere to be found.We make a nature sanctuary for rare birds,prescribing absolute security for all species; and we may find that some common and hardy kind of bird multiplies beyond measure and ousts the rare kinds in which we were particularly interested.We see,owing to some little change brought about by civilization,the starling spread over the English country-side in hordes.We improve the yielding capacities of our cattle; and find that now they exhaust the pastures which sufficed for less exigent stock.

31.The following examples exceptD reflect man altering the balance of nature.
A.man is covering huge areas with new kinds of plants
B.man is facilitating the spread of animals into new regions.
C.man is killing some species on a large scale
D.man is getting to know the importance of keeping the balance of nature.
32.What had a piece of Canadian waterweed cause?B
A.Eastern Australian was overrun with forests.
B.Half the waterways of Britain blocked for a decade.
C.In parts of central Africa,the land reduced to a semi desert.
D.Disease-sleeping has been caused.
33.What have spread diseases?C
A.Disease-sleeping sickness.      B.Measles.
C.Improved communications.        D.Malaria.
34.We make a nature sanctuary for rare birds butA.
A.some common and hardy kind of bird multiplies
B.rare kinds multiply
C.a(chǎn)ll bird multiply
D.no bird multiply
35.The main idea of the passage isD.
A.that man is deliberately destroying the balance of nature
B.that man has foreseen the consequences of altering the balance old nature
C.that improved communications have changed history
D.that man is altering the balance of nature.

2.Greenland is Shrinking at Surprising Rate
A new study shows one of the largest glaciers in Greenland is becoming smaller and speeding to the sea faster than scientists expected.If it continues,Greenland itself could become much smaller during this century and global seas could rise as much as 3 feet.
The rates of change that we're noticing are much higher than expected.If these rates continue,it is not unlikely that Greenland could shrink by several tens of percent this century.However,it's not known how quickly this coastal response of the Greenland ice sheet melting will have an effect on the vast inland ice.
Greenland is the world's largest island,covering an area more than three times the size of Texas.Some 81 percent of it is covered by ice,and there are many glaciers.Glaciers are like slow-moving rivers of ice.Where a glacier meets the sea,its weight keeps it firmly resting on the bottom.A glacier's front is the point where the water is deep enough that the glacier floats.
Since the 1970s,the front of Helheim stayed in the same place.Then it began melting rapidly,moving back 4.5 miles from 2001 through this past summer.It has also grown thinner,from top to bottom,by more than 130 feet since 2001.And over these past four years,its trip to the sea has sped up from about 70 feet per day to nearly 110.
The melting is driven by a warmer climate.Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit in the last decade.Since most of Greenland's ice is on land,seas will rise as the ice melts.If all Greenland's ice sheet melted,oceans would be 15-20 feet higher.Nobody expects that to happen anytime soon.
68.Which of the following about the glaciers is TRUE?C
A.Glaciers only lie in Greenland.
B.Water in glaciers is more than sea water.
C.Glaciers sometimes float on the water.
D.Glaciers can increase the water level of lakes.
69.According to the text,we know that GreenlandB.
A.belongs to Canada                   
B.is the largest island in North America
C.is all covered with glaciers           
D.is sinking under the sea level
70.Which of the following may be the result of the disappearing of Greenland glaciers?D
A.the climate of the world will be warmer.
B.the glaciers in other area will be bigger.
C.It will be easy for explorers to visit the island.
D.Some coastal cities may be under the sea.
