题文

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Website you've visited，Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchas or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it's likely that some of the things have already happened to you.

But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cas, a simple Google arch can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a cret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no."When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."But people say one thing and do another. only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to prerve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a ries of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠卷)。But privacy does matter ---- at least sometimes. It's like health: When you have it, you don't notice it. only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.51.

答案

51-55 ACBDD 

解析

51.［精解］段首处设题。根据第二段，第一句话，我们得知有人会在未经允许的情况下窃取我们的个人信息，如第一段所说的电子邮件、网址、信用卡购物及电话等，我们的个人信息赤裸裸地暴露给陌生人，毫无遮掩。A.中的 is easily accesd without their knowledge 同义与原文中的 watch you without your permission。52［精解］根据题干中关键词psychologist、friend定位到第三段第一、二句话。心理学家认为与他人保持一定界限是有益的，虽然会向朋友、家人、爱人倾诉，但是有一些事情是有底线和界限的。C.中的distance同义与原文中的boundary，跟本段第二句话 but few boundaries remain 意义一致。53.［精解］第三段第三句话告诉我们：我们在使用高科技时所留下的点滴信息都会为陌生人了解我们提供线索。例如谷歌搜索引擎就会泄漏我们的想法。因此进一步得出结论：我们正生活在一个连保守秘密都很困难的世界里。B.中的trace 同义于原文中的digital bread crumbs所暗示的意思。54.［精解］根据倒数第二段第一句得知，people say one thing and do another，即言行不一。随后举例说明，美国人为了一点利益而提供个人信息。D.符合题意。55.［精解］段末处设题。作者把隐私同健康作比较，当拥有时，不曾注意到它，一旦失去才知其珍贵。D.中cherish同 wish you’d have done more 意义一致。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Someday a stranger w.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
