　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Facebook has been tricking people into using its socalled “fun, free service”.

　　Users, however, are actually paying an unconscious high price—the leak of 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 Facebook because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.

　　The biggest problem is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could 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 to be shared with everyone on the Internet.

　　According to Facebook's vicepresident 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.

　　Its original

　　business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the pages, was a total

　　failure. 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 Sehumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy.

　　He also urged the

　　Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for socialnetworking sites.

　　Whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it's only the beginning, and that is

　　why I'm considering closing 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.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。Facebook是一个世界上很受欢迎的免费社交网站，然而其用户的个人信息却在不知不觉中被运营商出卖并滥用。本文对此进行了讨论。

　　1．According to the passage, the majority of Facebook users are unconscious that Facebook ________.

　　A．makes big financial gain by selling their personal data

　　B．makes its free service possible by selling ad space

　　C．profits by sending targeted messages

　　D．profits by offering personal information to its users

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二、三句“Users, however, are actually paying an unconscious high price—the leak of their personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their

　　data to advertisers...”可知，A项正确。

　　2．What can be learned from the passage?

　　A．Facebook rule changes are indeed meant for the good of users.

　　B．With its trick exposed, Facebook will see its users reduced sharply.

　　C．The original business model did not bring Facebook the desired benefits.

　　D．Few Facebook users care about the leak of their personal information.

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据文章第五段第二句“Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the pages, was a total failure.”可推知，C项正确。

　　3．Which of the following is true according to the last two paragraphs?

　　A．The writer and Senator Schumer disagree sharply on this issue.

　　B．Facebook's privacy policy has the support of the government.

　　C．Socialnetworking sites like Facebook are under strict state control.

　　D．Senator Schumer is not satisfied with Facebook's privacy policy.

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章第六段第一句“The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington.”和倒数第二段中Senator Charles Schumer的呼吁可推知，D项正确。

　　4．Why does the author plan to close his Facebook account?

　　A．To escape Facebook's membership fee.

　　B．To avoid his personal data being abused.

　　C．To protect the safety of his bank account.

　　D．To support Senator Schumer's call.

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段倒数第二句“... but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't trust”可推知，B项正确。

　　(2016·江西重点中学联考)I've just got to talk about this problem I'm having with my postman. It all began a year ago, after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude, I asked him about the baby. The next week, not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before, I asked all about the baby again. Now I can't break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words “How's the baby？” come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds him up. So why can't I stop it?

　　The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it, I want everyone to like me.

　　My sister had the same problem with the caretaker of her block of flats: “All he ever does is complain; he talks at me rather than to me, never listens to a word I say, and yet for some reason I'm always really nice to him. I'm worried in case I have a difficulty one day, and he won't lift a finger to help.”

　　What about at work? Richard Lawton, a management trainer, warns: “Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make managers popular are being honest with staff, treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning.” To explain the point, Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who, after making one of his managers fired, said with moist

　　(湿润的)

　　eyes that he was so, so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied: “If you were that sorry, I wouldn't be leaving.” The lesson being, therefore, that if you try too hard to be liked, people won't like you.

　　The experts say it all starts in childhood. “If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being good，” says Zelda West­Meads, a marriage guidance consultant, “they develop low self­confidence and become compulsive_givers.” But is there anything wrong in being a giver, the world not being exactly short of takers? Anne Cousins believes there is. “There is a point at which giving becomes unhealthy，” she says. “It comes when you do things for others but feel bad about it.”

　　I am now trying hard to say to people “I feel uncomfortable about saying this, but ...” and tell myself “Refusal of a request does not mean rejection of a person” and I find I can say almost anything to almost anyone.

　　1.Why does the author ask the postman about his baby?

　　A.He is interested in the baby.

　　B.He wants to create a good impression.

　　C.He wants to be always polite to him.

　　D.It's a way to start a chat with great politeness.

　　2.What could we find out about the author's sister and the caretaker?

　　A.She doesn't want to risk displeasing him.

　　B.She doesn't pay attention to him.

　　C.He often refuses to help her.

　　D.He is impatient of her overreaction.

　　3.The underlined words

　　“compulsive givers”

　　in the fourth paragraph refer to the people who ________.

　　A.are willing to help others

　　B.couldn't bear to turn down requests

　　C.are unconfident of denying demands

　　D.are less selfish than takers

　　4.What is the author's intention of writing this passage?

　　A.To show how to let others like you more.

　　B.To prove how to create a harmonious atmosphere.

　　C.To encourage people to have more self­confidence.

　　D.To suggest ways of dealing with difficult people.
