21、Most people know social media isn’t free — it’s paid for with the collection of its users’ sometimes-sensitive information. Your GPS system keeps track of your movements, and your smart TV can watch you. Almost all the information these devices collect can be sold to companies or used by authorities to keep tabs or gather evidence. Meanwhile, we use technology so frequently because of its efficiency and convenience. Is the trade-off worth it, or are we selling our souls to the devil?
SafeHome.org Team surveyed 1,019 people aged 18 and older about their opinions on security and electronic devices and whether they felt the risk to privacy was worth the security and convenience benefits. As it turns out, some feel technology is far too convenient to give up despite its flaws, while others would trash their devices if they found out it was spying on them.
Interestingly, three major factors appear to have an impact on which aspect of privacy violation they find most shocking — age, gender and occupation.
Different generations have different relationships with technology and, as such, have different concerns about privacy. Those 65 and older appeared to be very distrustful of technology, recording higher levels of concern than younger generations in almost every field. Those aged 45-64 all found location tracking, home security, and smart device privacy issues to be the most threatening. From age 18 to 44, the data trends looked rather similar. A distrust of social media existed, but they regarded fitness trackers, and public surveillance(监视) as less of an issue than older generations.
While men and women seemed to have the same concerns about privacy in the digital age, a few interesting aspects existed. Women were more concerned overall with identity and location tracking. Men had concerns with these issues as well but perhaps didn’t feel as physically threatened by them. The place where men took more issues than women was the selling of personal data to advertisers and monitoring of conversations and activities.
【1】What does the author intend to convey about social media in paragraph 1?
A．It comes at a price.
B．It is of great value.
C．It has developed greatly.
D．It brings convenience to life.
【2】What did the survey of SafeHome.org Team focus on?
A．People’s attitudes towards privacy risks.
B．People’s opinions on technology benefits.
C．People’s responses to electric device flaws.
D．People’s thoughts on employment security.
【3】What does the result of the survey imply?
A．Women worry about personal data most.
B．Men tend to sell personal data to advertisers.
C．Young people don’t see social media as a threat.
D．Older people are more doubtful about technology.
【4】What will be discussed further in the coming paragraph?
A．Prevention of the privacy violation.
B．Significance of the SafeHome, org Team.
C．Privacy concerns from different occupations.
D．Methods of guaranteeing privacy in the digital age.
22、For a bird, to fly hundreds or thousands of miles each spring and fall is a difficult and dangerous journey, one that not all birds can survive. 【1】 There is more than one single reason for different birds to migrate(迁徙), but it all comes down to survival.
Birds are migrating for a meal.
For all birds, one of the main driving forces behind migration is food. If all birds were to stay in the same places year-round, food there would become not enough. 【2】 But as the food supplies decrease in the fall, they return to the southern areas.
【3】
Over millions of years, birds have developed different migration patterns, times and destinations. This helps birds take advantage of a wide variety of suitable conditions to raise their young, which increases the survival chances of the young birds.
Birds are migrating because of climate changes.
Changes in climate can affect migration. Many birds leave the Arctic for example, when temperatures begin to fall. They need warmer habitats. Similarly, the hottest regions can be an unpleasant environment for raising young birds. 【4】
Birds are migrating because of predators.
Habitats that have rich food sources also attract a greater number of predators who may kill birds. 【5】 Many birds even migrate to specialized habitats that are nearly inaccessible to predators, such as coastal cliffs or rocky offshore islands.
A．So why do birds migrate?
B．Birds are migrating for their young.
C．So how do young birds migrate?
D．Birds are migrating because of diseases.
E．It is beneficial to lay eggs further north in cooler areas.
F．Birds that migrate to different habitats can avoid being eaten by predators.
G．As food sources are rich in the north each spring, millions of birds migrate from south to those areas.
23、Mars( 火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer,scientists reported Monday. "It suggests that. it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars," NASA's science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a news conference on September 28, 2015. The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said.
"What we're dealing with is wet soil. thin layers of wet soil, not standing water," said Aifred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tueson ! the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's high-resolution imaging experiment.
Because liquid water is essential to life, the findings could have major implications for the possibility of Martian life. The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet.
The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars. Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA's goal is to send humans there in the 2030s.
The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(条痕) on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.
Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice.
The source(源头) of the water is a mystery. Scientists noted it could be melting ice. It could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere, Or it may be a combination Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there's life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth - something a U. S. lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do.
【1】What would be the best title for the text? '
A Streams of Water Spotted on Mars
B. Astronauts will Land on Mars
C. NASA's Mars Exploration Program
D. A Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars
【2】According to John Grunsfeld, there seems to be on Mars.
A. salty water
B. standing water
C. rocket fuel
D. human beings
【3】Scientists are uncertain about the of the water on Mars.
A. state
B. source
C. temperature
D. taste
【4】What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?
A. The distance from the sun.
B. The favorable climate.
C. The gravity of the earth
D．The salt in it．
24、In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often life and death affairs.In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success，the development，of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However，while sonic seem to be lost in die desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.”What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?
A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B.Opinions about competition are different among people.
C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
【2】Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A.It pushes society forward.
B.It builds up a sense of duty.
C.It improves personal abilities.
D.It encourages individual efforts.
【3】The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .
A.those who try their best to win
B.those who value competition most highly
C.those who are against competition most strongly
D.those who rely on others most for success
【4】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?
A.One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.
B.One’s success in competition needs great efforts.
C.One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D.One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.
