　　Benjamin Stassen took his own life in 2010. His parents thought their twenty-one year old son was happy. Since his suicide, they have attempted to learn why he killed himself.

　　Alice and Jay Stassen thought Benjamin’s Facebook account might hold clues to his suicide. But the account does not belong to them, nor did it belong to their son. Facebook owns everything in his account. That is what the company says in its user agreement.

　　Jay Stassen says he found it difficult even to communicate with Facebook.

　　A court ordered the company to let the Stassens see their son’s account. However , Facebook has yet to obey the order.

　　Lawyer John Boucher stays informed about digital rights and the law. But he admits that he and his wife have signed many user agreements without reading them. He says he would not know how to get information from his wife’s accounts if she dies.

　　JOHN BOUCHER: “I have no clue. So there is a dual problem here. One is people don’t think about it. And two, even if they did, they might find they are legally barred from doing it. I personally think what’s going to happen over time is there are going to be model laws drafted to deal with all these circumstances. But they’re going to take years to be accepted by the states, you know. There’s going to be a gray area for the foreseeable future.”

　　Some businesses now are offering people a way to control what happens to their online information after they die. One way to do this is to place your online accounts and passwords in a digital storage area. You give the owners of the area orders about which information to destroy and which to give others when you die.

　　Mark Plattner recently used a program called Sitesucker to download his friend’s blog. He then uploaded a copy of the blog to a new web site under his control. Mark Plattner says we should all plan our own digital legacy. He says “don’t be passive - get to work on your online after life now.”

　　The report came to the British on May 21, 1941. The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England.

　　The British had fared such a task. No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarch had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns. She could move at 30 nautical miles (海里) an hour. She was believed to be unsinkable.

　　However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24

　　the Hood found the Bismarck.

　　It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.

　　The battle didn't last long. The Bismarck's first torpedo (鱼雷) hit the Hood, which went down taking all but three of her 1, 419 men with her.

　　But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged (损坏). Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the Germans. The British force followed her. However, because of the Bismarck's speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.

　　For two days, every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck, but with no success. Finally, she was sighted by a plane from Ireland. Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her, the British fired at her from the air. The Bismarck was hit.

　　When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from china,

　　When India had not opened up its markers to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now,

　　Still ,her answer surprised me:?Green tea,?rAs long as I can remember she didn’t even drink

　　Indian tea.

　　I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses

　　At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian, It was a strange country

　　How things change [And how soon]

　　Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China

　　The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment（投资）and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.

　　But it’s a two-way stret, I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Rangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China,

　　No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to his about us$15 billion for last year and us$20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments,

　　No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian（中印）century as the two countries started on January I the Sino-Indian Friendship Year,

　　【文章大意】

　　本文主要讲述人死后其生前的网络账户和密码该如何处理的问题，其是否应该向死者的家属透露的问题，以John夫妇的具体遭遇为切入点，表达人们了对于这个问题的关注程度，也展望了未来，人们期待法律得到修改，以便使此类网络隐私问题可以在适当的时候得到人性化的解决。同时也提供了合理化的应对办法。

　　67.D 猜测段落写作意图

　　文章讲述人去世后，其生前在网上注册的账户，密码等个人信息在某些情形下能否请求相关网站告知当事人家属的问题。文章以“Benjamin”自杀后，其父母请求Facebook网站提供儿子账号以求解开儿子自杀之谜而遭拒的具体事例作为开头，目的明显在于唤起读者对此话题的兴趣。

　　68．A 判断信息正误（细节题）文章第一段第六句“Facebook owns everything in his account ”银行拒绝透露Benjamin生前的账户信息，Jay 夫妇将Facebook 考上法庭，第二段讲到“Facebook has yet to obey the order.”可知，Facebook 尚未遵守法庭的判决。

　　69．A 猜测人物态度 第三段第4,5,6句提到John认为在将来即使有关网络隐私的法律得到修改，国家也很难接受它，他觉得可以预见的未来是一片灰色。“I personally think what’s going to happen over time is there are going to be model laws drafted to deal with all these circumstances. But they’re going to take years to be accepted by the states, you know. There’s going to be a gray area for the foreseeable future.” 由此看出John认为前途很渺茫，所以他是 pessimistic (悲观的)

　　70．C 理解文章相关内容，并运用于实际，第四段第2句 “One way to do this is to place your online accounts and passwords in a digital storage area.” 及第五段第1,2,3句 “Mark Plattner recently used a program called Sitesucker to download his friend’s blog. He then uploaded a copy of the blog to a new web site under his control. Mark Plattner says we should all plan our own digital legacy.”可以看出，针对John 的案例，作者向读者提的建议是:人们可以将自己的网络账号复印并保存下来，以备不时之需。

　　C

　　1.【分析】这是一道细节题。从文章的第一自然段最后一句可以看出C为本题的正确答案。

　　2.【分析】这也是一道细节题。文中有这样一句:No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or firepower.故本题的最佳答案为A。

　　3.【分析】本题属于细节题。从文章的第五、六自然段,战舰The Bismarck击沉了Hood号战舰,虽然"B"号战舰亦受了轻伤,但最终还是没被对方逮住,故B为本题的最佳答案。此题难度适中,通过率为40％,区分度为0.432。

　　4.【分析】本题属于细节题。文中有这样一句：the Bismarck was slightly damaged．Her commander decided to run for repairs to France，which had at that time been taken by the Germans.故A为本题的最佳答案。此题难度偏小，通过率为60％，区分度为0.594。

　　5.【分析】本题仍然属于细节题。从文章的最后一段可以看出C为本题的正确答案。这道的迷惑性很大,考生若不仔细,很可能选A。但题干中是指战舰“下沉”的原因,所以答题时审题是非常重要的。此题通过率为39％。

　　D

　　56【答案】C

　　【解析】细节理解题。由第五段的---believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses可知他们认为中国茶能治好病，选C。

　　57【答案】D

　　【解析】词义猜测题。由它上面的第九段The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see -------可知双双开放，实现双赢，选D符合。

　　58【答案】B

　　【解析】推理判断题。由a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Rangalore to train in software.可知印度领先，选B。

　　59【答案】C

　　【解析】推理判断题。由倒数后三段No wonder可知作者对中国的发展，很惊奇，选C。其他不和句意。
