2013高考英语二轮(文章题)训练(15)及答案 When you’re surfing the Internet on your laptop from your dorm or home, do you know your personal details are being gathered secretly? And would you be surprised to know the information may be sold cheaply to advertisers and marketers? According to an investigation by The Wall Street Journal, all it takes is a tiny file in a computer—a single code consisting of a long series of numbers and letters—to record the computer user’s age, gender, location, favorite movies and hobbies. The newspaper reports that Lotame Solutions Inc. , a New York company, uses sophisticated (高科技) software called a “beacon” to capture what people are typing on a website. Lotame packages that data into profiles(个人资料)about individuals, only without their names, and sells the profiles to companies seeking customers. Batches of such data may be sold for a few dollars. The Wall Street Journal survey discovered that spying on Internet users is one of the fastest-growing businesses on the World Wide Web. The “cookie”— a tiny text file put on your PC by websites or marketing firms which might be used to remember your preferences for one site, or to track you across many sites— is already old news. There are new and more complex tools such as “beacons” which scan in real time what people are doing on a webpage. These beacons instantly assess the Internet user’s location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions. Millions of Internet users around the world also face unprecedented(空前的)threats. Private, sensitive, personal and business information is being gathered and sold without their knowledge. Companies insist the information they gather is anonymous and the data is used harmlessly. But the technology has grown so powerful that even some of the biggest websites in the US don’t know that they were installing intrusive files on visitors’ computers. These include MSN. com and Yahoo. com. Next time you visit a webpage and find an ad banner advertising something you’ve been planning to buy, don’t be amazed that your computer can read your mind. 37. The purpose of the passage is to _______. A. introduce a tiny file in a computer-a single code B. show how your individual information was let out when you surf the Internet C. show how to protect your privacy D. introduce a sophisticated software called a “beacon” 38. It can be inferred that _______. A. because the data is used harmlessly, Internet users around the world will not face threats B. when a person surfs the Internet, his personal details may be let out without his knowledge C. your computer can really read your mind D. MSN. com and Yahoo. com use software to capture what people are typing on a website 39. According to the passage, a “beacon” _______. A. is a tiny text file put on your PC by websites B. is a software that can package that data into profiles about individuals C. can assess the Internet user’s location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions D. is not more complex than the “cookie” 40. What’s the writer’s attitude to this problem? A. Neutral. B. Worried. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 【知识积累】 1. There are new and more complex tools such as “beacons” which scan in real time what people are doing on a webpage. These beacons instantly assess the Internet user’s location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions. (阅读理解·E) 像beacon这种更新颖、更复杂的软件可以在人们浏览网页时进行实时扫描,然后立即对用户的地址、收入、购物兴趣,甚至医疗条件等因素进行评估。 第一个句子是主从复合句,主句是There are new and more complex tools such as “beacons” which scan in real time是定语从句修饰beacons,what people are doing on a webpage作scan的宾语从句。 第二个句子中的assess意为“评定,评估”。 2. But the technology has grown so powerful that even some of the biggest websites in the US don’t know that they were installing intrusive files on visitors’ computers. (阅读理解·E) 但是,追踪技术成长得如此强大,使用如此隐秘,就连美国最大的一些网站也不知道自己在用户电脑上安装了入侵文件。 本句是一个复合句,主干是the technology has grown so powerful,that引导了一个结果状语从句,在此状语从句中又含有that引导的宾语从句。 【拓展提升】句型仿写 Next time you visit a webpage and find an ad banner advertising something you’ve been planning to buy, don’t be amazed that your computer can read your mind. (阅读理解·E) 仿写:下次我再发现你吸烟的话,你就交十元罚款。(next time; find+宾语+宾补) ____________________________________________________________________ 答案解析 【文章大意】经常上网的人可能都遇到过这样的情况:浏览网页(surfing the Internet) 时总是跳出一些广告,内容还都是你最近想买的商品。别误会,你的电脑还没智能到读懂你的想法——是你的个人隐私被出卖啦!赶快来看看是怎么一回事吧! 37.【解析】选B。主旨大意题。本文围绕着“上网时,你的个人信息被别人收集并且被出售了”来展开话题进行讨论,故选择B项。 38.【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据文章第一段以及下文可知,当一个人上网时,他的信息有可能在自己不知道的情况下被别人所泄露或出售。 39.【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第六段These beacons instantly assess the Internet user’s location, income, shopping interests and even medical conditions. 可知C选项为正确答案。根据第六段The “cookie”— a tiny text file put on your PC by websites or marketing firms. . . 可知A项错误。根据第四段中Lotame packages that data into profiles about individuals. . . 可知B项错误。根据第六段There are new and more complex tools such as “beacons”. . . 可知D项错误。 40.【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段Millions of Internet users around the world also face unprecedented threats. Private, sensitive, personal and business information is being gathered and sold without their knowledge. 可知,作者指出互联网用户面临着空前的威胁,可以推断作者对这个问题非常的担心。故选B项。 【拓展提升】 Next time I find you smoking, you must pay a fine of ten yuan. ************************************************************结束                    (一) From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students’ Union.I always __1__ my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us.So I dreamed of being a leader.
