解析：
If the online service is free then you are the product, technicians say. Google and Facebook make
a【C1】______collecting personal information to help them target their advertisements more【C2】______Free smart-phone apps typically【C3】______all the data they can, such as the persons
location or their【C4】______address book. More than ever, individual privacy is【C5】______threat. Julia Angwin, who oversaw a pioneering series of Wall Street Journal articles called What They
Know, starting last year,【C6】______many of the questionable activities that damage
privacy—activities that most people know nothing about. Hundreds of unregulated data-agents【C7】______in America, for example, selling personal files to marketing companies. One company
runs a fleet of camera—equipped cars that【C8】______the number plates of 1 million vehicles
a month, mostly to find those wanted for repossession—【C9】______it sells the data to insurers
or private investigators as well. Ms Angwin condemns this shadowy business. Her book tracks her attempts to【C10】______it. She gets a credit card using a fake name; she uses a(n)【C11】______search engine and conceals her e-mail and texts; she leaves LinkedIn. When she turns off basic
web-browsing functions that enable tracking she becomes digitally【C12】______. Amazon items appear
to be out of【C13】______and she is unable set up an appointment at an Apple store. My daughter
would stand next to me and laugh while I tried to【C14】______a page and browse through all the【C15】______, she writes. Yet Dragnet Nation has its【C16】______. It ignores how exciting
the【C17】______uses of personal data can be to companies, governments and NGOs. It mixes state scrutiny and privacy-damaging business practices, weakening the study of both. Ms Angwins
analysis of the problems and【C18】______regulatory remedies is shallow, and her attempts to【C19】______the dragnet eventually become wearisome. Her【C20】______is to have made herself
a subject in an experiment to avoid the scrutiny found everywhere. But the real story about the
e-conomy of personal information and protecting privacy in an age of big data has yet to be written.（分数：40.00）

A.excessive
B.practical
C.specific

A.current
B.potential √
C.inadequate

2017考研英语二完形填空真题
2017考研英语二完形填空真题 Would a Work-Free World Be So Bad? Fears of civilization-wide idleness are based too much on the downsides of being unemployed in a society premised on the concept of employment. A 1567 painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder depicts a mythical land of plenty, where people grow idle in the absence of work. Wikimedia Ilana E. Strauss Jun 28, 2016 People have speculated for centuries about a future without work, and today is no different, with academics, writers, and activists once again warning that technology is replacing human workers. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by inequality: A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland. A different, less paranoid, and not mutually exclusive prediction holds that the future will be a wasteland of a different sort, one characterized by purposelessness: Without jobs to give their lives meaning, people will simply become lazy

The Legislature should quickly approve the【C3】______.

The proposal, which resembles one developed through a(n)【C5】______partnership in New Haven, does away with the poor evaluation system【C6】______which teachers are observed briefly in the classroom and【C7】______the most ineffective ones regularly receive glowing ratings. The new system would require more【C8】______monitoring and would finally take student【C9】______into account. Teachers would eventually be【C10】______on a 100-point scale, with 25 points based on how much students improve on the【C11】______state exams and 15 percent based on locally selected measures. The【C12】______part of the e-valuation would be locally determined, consistent with state regulations, and could include such things as evaluations by a school principal, peer observations, a teacher"s ability to【C13】______lesson plans and so on.

But mastering a skill,【C1】______one that you deeply love, requires a huge 【C2】______of dull practice. Any challenging activity requires【C3】______and concentrated practice. Anyone who wants to master a skill must【C4】______through the cycle of practice, critical feedback, modification, and progressive improvement again, again, and again. Some people seem able to【C5】______practicing an activity like this for years and take【C6】______in their gradual improvement.【C7】______others find this kind of concentrated, time-intensive work to be【C8】______or boring. Why? The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of "flow," the feeling of being completely【C9】______what you are doing. A flow state is a special experience. Flow states can happen in the【C10】______of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at an appropriate skill level, and where the individual is able to adjust their performance【C11】______clear and immediate feedback. Flow states turn the dull practice into an autotelic activity—that is, one that can be enjoyed for its own sake, rather than as a【C12】______to an end or for attaining some external reward. That raises the question of how we can turn this to our【C13】______: How can we get into a flow state for an activity that we want to master, so that we enjoy both the process of【C14】______skills and the rewards of being a master? Psychologists suggested that those who most readily entered into flow states had an "autotelic personality". For those who aren"t necessarily【C15】______with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be【C16】______by environmental factors. While there isn"t yet a pill that can turn dull practice into a【C17】______activity for anyone, it is encouraging that we seem, at least to some degree, to be able to push ourselves toward flow states【C18】______we are given unstructured, open-ended time,【C19】______distractions, and a task set at a【C20】______level of difficulty.（分数：40.00） (1).【C1】（分数：2.00） A.especially B.even √ C.only D.just 解析：解析：句子指出“掌握一门技能需要枯燥练习”。空格后one则指代a skill，结合one thatyou deeply love的语义，推断所需副词旨在强调任何一门技能都遵循着这样的规律。B项even“甚至，即使”可加强语气，能体现句首表转折的But和句子逻辑。 (2).【C2】（分数：2.00） A.part B.variety C.amount √ D.field 解析：解析：所需名词处于a huge…of的表达中，修饰dull practice。参照“熟能生巧”的逻辑，可以推测掌握一门技能需要大量的练习，故C项amount“大量”正确。 (3).【C3】（分数：2.00） A.focused √

It's starting to seem like it. Everybody hates them, and nobody can remember all the ones they've【C1】______. These days a typical internet user has dozens of online accounts. If you really want to be safe, you need to have a different password for each one, and each password needs to be incredibly【C2】______, with a mix of capital letters,【C3】______, and numbers. Who can keep all that stuff in their head? Most people don't【C4】______. Some just make up one password and use it everywhere while others might have a few passwords for different usages. Problem is that【C5】______one site gets attacked by hackers, they now have the password that you use elsewhere. In one recent attack on Sony, millions of accounts were exposed. Computer scientists realize the system is【C6】______and they're looking for alternatives. But most【C7】______haven't been very good. Fingerprint readers require special hardware, and smart cards can be lost or【C8】______. "We've tried【C9】______other approaches, but we end up back with passwords. They're the least【C10】______in a series of bad options," says a security consultant.

If you totally【C17】______, the fastword system will tell you one of the three words, which should enable you to remember the【C18】______idea and thus the three keywords. Jakobsson says one large service provider is evaluating the fast-words concept. Fastwords【C19】______a step in the right direction, 【C20】______it's not the promised land.

Fears of civilization-wide idleness are based too much on the downsides of being unemployed in a society premised on the concept of employment. A 1567 painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder depicts a mythical land of plenty, where people grow idle in the absence of work. Wikimedia " Ilana E. Strauss " Jun 28, xx People have speculated for centuries about a future without work, and today is no different, with academics, writers, and activists once again warning that technology is replacing human workers. Some imagine that the ing work-
free world will be defined by inequality: A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland. A different, less paranoid, and not mutually exclusive prediction holds that the future will be a wasteland of a different sort, one characterized by purposelessness: Without jobs to give their lives meaning, people will simply bee lazy and depressed. Indeed, today's unemployed don't seem to be having a great time. One Gallup poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed for at least a year report having depression, double the rate for working Americans. Also, some research suggests that the explanation for rising rates of mortality, mental-health problems, and addiction among poorly-educated, middle-aged people is a shortage of well-paid jobs. Another study shows that people are often happier at work than in their free time. Perhaps this is why many worry about the agonizing dullness of a jobless future.

At Drexel University"s new Library Learning Terrace, which opened just last month, there is not a bound【C1】______, just rows of computers and plenty of seating offering【C2】______to the Philadelphia university"s 170 million【C3】______items. Scott Erdy, designer of the new library, says open,【C4】______space allows student and staff "knowledge transfer," a concept【C5】______by Danuta Nitecki, dean of Drexel"s libraries. "We don"t【C6】______house books, we house learning," she says. The trend began, naturally,【C7】______engineers, when Kansas State University"s engineering library went primarily bookless several years ago. Last year, Stanford University【C8】______all but 10,000 printed books from its new engineering library, making more room【C9】______large tables and study areas. And the University of Texas a-bandoned print【C10】______electronic material when it opened its engineering library last year. But when books disappear, does a library lose its【C11】______? "The library is a social tent pole," says Michael Connelly, a best-selling author. "There are a lot of ideas under it.【C12】______the pole and the tent comes down." Connelly says that browsing through【C13】______books brings inspiration of the kind that led him from【C14】______his campus library"s stacks straight to a writing【C15】______. "Can something like that happen in a bookless library? I"m not so sure," he says. From a design perspective, some architects also【C16】______the inevitable trend toward booklessness. Steven Holl, architect of Queens Library"s new branch, in New York City, says books still provide character and are a nice counterpoint to technology. "A book【C17】______knowledge, and striking a balance in a library is a good thing." He says.【C18】______other designers, seem inspired by the challenge presented by a world going bookless. Others are hedging their bets that 【C19】______the library isn"t bookless now, someday it probably will be. To most people, it is best when paper and electronic【C20】______are both available.（分数：40.00） (1).【C1】（分数：2.00） A.document B.volume √ C.data D.script 解析：解析：段首提到无纸化图书馆出现了，此句说该大学的图书馆中只有成排的电脑和座位，故可知此处与段首句中的bookless相呼应，故选B项volume。bound volume意为“合订本”。 (2).【C2】（分数：2.00） A.shortcut B.access √ C.solution D.exit 解析：解析：句中提到“无纸化图书馆里没有书，只有电脑和座位”，空格后的to指向的对象是items，而电脑和座位是为查阅图书而提供的设施，故B项access“通道；使用权”最符合句意。 (3).【C3】（分数：2.00） A.visual B.printed
