for problem dogs killing sheep inside the Fence can reach $500. As pioneers penetrated the interior with their flocks of sheep, fences replaced shepherds until, by the end of the 19 th century, thousands of miles of barrier fencing crisscrossed the vast grazing lands.

Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit car purchases or cell phone Bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits. In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to would watch you without your permission ? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing pany, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen—the 21 st century equivalent of being caught naked. Psychologist tell us boundries are heathly, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where yo are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. 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 an overwhelming pessimism 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 fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收費(fèi)站) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist A lessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centsoff coupon(優(yōu)惠卷)。第二段中作者談到認(rèn)識(shí)到這一問(wèn)題并不代表找到解決方案,然后提出論點(diǎn):and―without major technological breakthroughs―we can’t do much about it(沒有大的技術(shù)突破,我們?nèi)詫o(wú)能為力)?! ?根據(jù)題干中的signing of the Kyoto Protocol 定位到原文第四段最后三句。A項(xiàng)它是一個(gè)平民和政客們共識(shí)的問(wèn)題,顯然是對(duì)第一句中as if 引導(dǎo)的句子的錯(cuò)誤理解。D中very little wil be done 與原文we won’t do much about it意義一致。B選項(xiàng)說(shuō)全球變暖問(wèn)題需要全世界范圍內(nèi)的努力,作者在文中是提到了這方面的內(nèi)容,但是作者的意圖重在后半句,也就是說(shuō)國(guó)家承諾越多,執(zhí)行得越不到位,該句為第一句話服務(wù),因此也不是第一段的主旨,故排除?! ?由題干中的 more than double by 2050 定位到第三段末句With modest growth,energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by ,能量消耗和溫室氣體排放到2050年時(shí)將是現(xiàn)在的兩倍。該段第一句說(shuō)明任何國(guó)家都不想限制經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展,同時(shí)任何政客都想“有所作為”,他們的“作為”主要體現(xiàn)在經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展上,而不是在控制全球氣溫變化這個(gè)問(wèn)題上,排除A。第五和第六段重申論點(diǎn):the only solution is new technology(解決問(wèn)題的唯一辦法就是新技術(shù))。 When you have it, you don39。t cherish it until they lose it1小題、【正確答案】:A2小題、【正確答案】:C3小題、【正確答案】:B4小題、【正確答案】:D5小題、【正確答案】:D【參考解析】: 由題干中the 21 st century equivalent of being caught naked定位到文章第二段最后一句話。但是有些界限是需要保留的。B項(xiàng)中的trace與原文中的digital bread crumbs 所暗示的意思相同。文中沒有涉及到他們過(guò)度依賴電子設(shè)備的內(nèi)容,C項(xiàng)也排除。 personal models of the world,students are not __19__ to replace them with the __20__ one . ) excessive B) extra C) additional D) added ) what B) which C) that D) other ) virtually B) remarkably C) ideally D) preferably ) learned B) suggested C) taught D) advised ) those B) these C) who D) they ) on B) with C) under D) for ) formed B) altered C) believed D) thought ) operation B) position C) motion D) location ) how B) which C) that D) what ) around B) across C) on D) above ) since B) so C) while D) for ) to B) by C) in D) with ) with B) into C) to D) along ) adul
