Passage 1

People are being lured (引诱)onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up loads of 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 Face book because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.

The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules Early on you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook you could create 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, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.

According to Facebook's vice-president 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. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting then at the side of the pages totally 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 Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. "I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them," Schrage admits.

I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it's only the beginning. Which is why I'm considering deactivating(撤销)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.

1. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?

A.It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.

B.It makes money by putting on advertisements.

C.It profits by selling its users' personal data.

D.It provides loads of information to its users.

2. What does the author say about most Facebook users?

A.They are reluctant to give up their personal information.

B.They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook.

C.They don't identify themselves when using the website.

D.They care very little about their personal information.

3. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?

A.To render better service to its users.

B.To conform to the Federal guidelines.

C.To improve its users' connectivity.

D.To expand its scope of business.

4. Why does Senator Charles Schumer advocate?

A.Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.

B.Banning the sharing of users' personal information.

C.Formulating regulations for social-networking sites.

5. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?

Passage 2

Boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.

Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to obey a stereotype(陈规旧俗),a US study says.

Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to obey the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man".

The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.

Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.

The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.

But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.

Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes, "James wrote.

Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to obey a stereotype that men should be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.

6. The author believes that a single-sex school would ______.

A.force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"

B.encourage boys to express their emotions more freely

C.help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys

D.naturally reinforce in boys the traditional image of a man

7. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys ______.

A.perform relatively better B.grow up more healthily

C.behave more responsibly D.receive a better education

8. What does Tony Little say about the British education system?

A.It fails more boys than girls academically.

B.It focuses more on mixed school education.

C.It fails to give boys the attention they need.

D.It places more pressure on boys than on girls.

9. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.

A.teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys

B.boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted

C.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in

D.teaching can be designed to promote boys' team spirit

10. Which of the following is characteristic of boys according to Abigail James' report?

A.They enjoy being in charge. B.They obey stereotypes.

C.They are violent and sexist. D.They have sharper vision.

Passage 3

It's an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My wife says no because we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what's the point if you can't go on holiday. The joy of a recession (不景气) means no argument next year - we just won't go.

Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday A YouGov survey of 2, 000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. 

Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it's for.” he explains. “They'll say it's to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they've achieved something.

“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other know what's going on with their finances, but they don't. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you're doing, who's paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don't have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”

11. What does the author say about vacationing?

A. People enjoy it all the more during a recession.

B. Few people can afford it without working hard.

C. It is the chief cause of family disputes.

D. It makes all the hard work worthwhile.

12. What does the author mean by saying “money is known to bring a relationship to its knees”?

A. Money is considered to be the root of all evils

B. Disputes over money may ruin a relationship.

C. Few people can resist the temptation of money.

D. Some people sacrifice their dignity for money.

13. The YouGov poll of 2,000 people indicates that in a recession ________.

A. couples show more concern for each other

B. it is more expensive for couples to split up

C. conflicts between couples tend to rise

D. divorce and separation rates increase

14. What does Kim Stephenson believe?

A. Men and women view money in different ways.

B. Money is often a symbol of a person’s status.

C. Men and women spend money on different things.

D. Money means a great deal to both men and women.

15. The author suggests at the end of the passage that couples should ________.

A. put their money together instead of keeping it separately

B. discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationship

C. make efforts to reach agreement on their family budgets

D. avoid arguing about money matters to remain romantic

Passage 4

Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.

The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良) and heat-related health problems.

But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.

Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.

Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost (极度的) attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”

However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.

In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability(弱点) to climate hazards(危害)while still curbing (限制) the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.

16. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?

A.Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.

B.Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.

C.Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.

D.Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.

17. What do we learn about the Forum’s report from the passage?

A.It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.

B.It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.

C.It was warmly received by environmentalists.

D.It caused a big stir in developing countries.

18. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum’s report?P>

A.Its statistics look embarrassing.

B.It is invalid in terms of methodology.

C.It deserves our closest attention.

D.Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.

19. What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?

A.Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.

B.It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.

C.It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.

D.Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.

20. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?

A.How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.

B.How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.

C.How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.

D.How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.

Passage 5

It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations.

Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee's is one of them.

The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual (知识的) opportunities.

Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such a show to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. "Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project."

21. By "a one-way street" (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means _______.

A. university researchers know little about the commercial world

B. there is little exchange between industry and academia

C. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university

D. few university professors are willing to do industrial research

22. The word "deterrent" (Line 2, Para. 1) most probably refers to something that ________.

A. keeps someone from taking action

B. helps to move the traffic

C. attracts people's attention

D. brings someone a financial burden

23. What was Helen Lee's major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?

A. Flexible work hours.

B. Her research interests.

C. Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.

D. Prospects of academic accomplishments.

24. Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________.

A. do financially more rewarding work

B. raise his status in the academic world
