（英语）高三英语阅读理解(一)解题方法和技巧及练习题及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Durian(榴莲) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因组) and find out,Durian is well-known throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.（1）What give durian its unique smell?A. Onions nearby.B. Two gene copies.C. Rotten ingredients in it.D. Volatile sulfur compounds.（2）What does the underlin ed word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Developed.B. Escaped.C. Predicted.D. Tolerated.（3）What can we infer from the text?A. No birds enjoy eating durian.B. Durian can be planted all over the world.C. Some of durian species can not be eaten.D. Durian has no relationship with the cacao tree.（4）What's the best title for the text?A. What's Durian?B. The Influence of the SmellC. The Distribution of DurianD. The Mystery of the Unpleasant Smell of Durian 【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，新加坡的研究者找出导致水果有难闻气味的原因就是水果中含有的挥发性硫化合物非常活跃，这种气味对于野外生存榴莲来说有利于吸引动物来吃这种水果，同时传播种子。

雪夜星新一雪花像无数白色的小精灵，悠悠然从夜空中飞落到地球的脊背上。
整个大地很快铺上了一条银色的地毯。
在远离热闹街道的一幢旧房子里，冬夜的静谧和淡淡的温馨笼罩着这一片小小的空间。
火盆中燃烧的木炭偶尔发出的响动，更增浓了这种气氛。
“啊！外面下雪了。
”坐在火盆边烤火的房间主人自言自语地嘟哝了一句。
“是啊，难怪这么静呢！”老伴儿靠他身边坐着，将一双干枯的手伸到火盆上。
“这样安静的夜晚，我们的儿子一定能多学一些东西。
”房主人说着，向楼上望了一眼。
“孩子大概累了，我上楼给他送杯热茶去。
整天闷在屋里学习，我真担心他把身体搞坏了。
”“算了，算了，别去打搅他了。
他要是累了，或想喝点什么，自己会下楼来的。
你就别操这份心了。
父母的过分关心，往往容易使孩子头脑负担过重，反而不好。
”“也许你说得对。
可我每时每刻都在想，这毕业考试不是件轻松事。
我真盼望孩子能顺利地通过这一关。
”老伴儿含糊不清地嘟哝着，往火盆里加了几块木炭。
突然，一阵急促的敲门声打破了这寂静的气氛。
两人同时抬起头来，相互望着。
“有人来。
”房主人慢吞吞地站了起来，蹒跚地向门口走去。
随着开门声，一股寒风带着雪花挤了进来。
“谁啊？”“别问是谁。
老实点，不许出声！”门外一个陌生中年男子手里握着一把闪闪发光的匕首。
声音低沉，却掷地有声。
“你要干什么？”“少啰嗦，快老老实实地进去！不然……”陌生人晃了晃手中的匕首。
房主人只好转身向屋子里走去。
老伴儿迎了上来：“谁呀？是找我儿子……”她周身一颤，后边的话咽了回去。
“对不起，我是来取钱的。
如果识相的话，我也不难为你们。
”陌生人手中的匕首在炭火的映照下，更加寒光闪闪。
“啊，啊，我和老伴儿都是上了年纪的人，不中用了。
你想要什么就随便拿吧。
但请您千万不要到楼上去。
”房主人哆哆嗦嗦地说。
“噢？楼上是不是有更贵重的东西？”陌生人眼睛顿时一亮，露出一股贪婪的神色。
2020英语一阅读理解text1
2020英语一阅读理解text1英文回答：The passage discusses the impact of technology on our lives, specifically focusing on the negative effects it has on our mental health. It argues that while technology has made our lives more convenient, it has also led to increased stress, anxiety, and depression.One of the main points made in the passage is that technology has created a constant need for connectivity and instant gratification. With smartphones and social media, we are constantly bombarded with notifications, messages, and updates. This constant stream of information can be overwhelming and lead to a sense of always being "on" and never being able to truly disconnect or relax. For example, I personally feel a sense of anxiety when I see a large number of unread messages or notifications on my phone. This constant need to be connected can also lead to a fear of missing out (FOMO), as we are constantly exposed to thehighlights of other people's lives on social media. Thiscan create feelings of inadequacy and negatively impact our self-esteem.Another point made in the passage is that technologyhas also affected our ability to focus and concentrate.With the rise of multitasking and constant distractions,our attention spans have become shorter. We are constantly switching between tasks and being pulled in different directions, which can make it difficult to fully engage in any one activity. For instance, I often find myselfchecking my phone or browsing social media while trying to work or study, which significantly reduces my productivity. This constant state of distraction can also lead tofeelings of frustration and dissatisfaction.Furthermore, the passage highlights the impact of technology on our sleep patterns. The blue light emitted by screens can disrupt our natural sleep-wake cycle, making it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. Many of us are guilty of using our smartphones or tablets right before bed, which can interfere with the production of melatonin, ahormone that regulates sleep. As a result, we may experience difficulty falling asleep, poor sleep quality, and daytime sleepiness. I have personally experienced this firsthand, as I often find it difficult to fall asleepafter using my phone late at night.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly brought many benefits to our lives, it is important to recognize and address the negative impact it can have on our mental health. The constant need for connectivity, the impact on our ability to focus, and the disruption of our sleep patterns are all significant factors that can contribute to increased stress, anxiety, and depression. It is crucial to find a balance and establish healthy habits when it comes to our use of technology.中文回答：这篇文章讨论了科技对我们生活的影响，特别关注了它对我们的心理健康产生的负面影响。
英语阅读理解五篇及答案(一)
英语阅读理解五篇及答案（一）第一篇This new school year is especially for some elementary school students in Auckland,New Zealand.They became the world’s first kids to be“taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom,Will—the digital teacher,is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop,or smartphone screen,when ordered to come.Just like humans,Will is able to instantly react to the students’responses to the topic.He not only responds to the kids’questions,but also picks up no n-verbal cues.For instance,if a student smiles at Will,he responds by smiling back.This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’attention, but also allows the program's developers to monitor their engagement,and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a new way to cat ch the attention of the next generation.He says,“1have a lot of hope in the technology.However,regardless of how popular it becomes.Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.1.What was special some elementary school students in Auckland? （）A.This was a new school yearB.They saw something digitalC.They have new desktopD.A digital teacher taught them2.From the passage we know that ______.A.Will cannot respond to the kids’ questionsB.Will can hardly pick up non-verbal cuesC.Will is very popular with the studentsD.it is unlikely for Will to capture children’ attention3.What is the benefit of this two-way interaction? ( )A.It can smile backB.It can use microphoneC.It can talk any topicD.It can change if necessary4.What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?（）A.DisapprovingB.DiffidentC.OptimisticD.Unclear5.What might be the best title for the passage?（）A.Shortage of Human TeachersB.World-first Digital TeachersC.A New School YearD.New Contributes to Education第二篇A simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans neighbors.On one side stand those who see clothes dryers as a waste of energyand a major polluter of the environment.As a result,they are turning to clothe slines as part of the“what-I-can do environmentalism.”______Arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at.They have persuaded Homeowners Associations（HOAs）across the US to ban outdoor clotheslines,because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value inthe neighborhood.This has led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people’s right to use clotheslines.So far,only three states have laws to protect clotheslines.Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be more.Matt Reck,37,is the kind of eco-conscious person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants.His family also uses a clothesline,but on July9,2007,the HOA in Wake Forest,North Carolina,told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about his clothesline.The Recks paid no attention to the warming,and sill dried their clothes on a line in the yard.“Many people say they are envi ronmentally friendly but they don’t take matters into their own hands.”saysReck.The local HOA has decided not to take any action,unless more neighbors come to them.North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do.But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods.They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford dryers,housing prices will fall.Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary,and in view of global warming,that idea needs to change.As they say,“The clothesline is beautiful.Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged.We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming.”1.One of the reasons why supporters of clothes dryers are trying t o ban clothesline drying is that ______.A.clothes dryers are more efficientB.clothesline drying reduces home valueC.clothes dryers are energy-savingD.clothesline drying is not allowed in most US states2.Which of following is the most suitable to be put in the blank a t the beginning of Paragraph 3?A.On the other side are people who are against drying clothes.B.Some other people dry their clothes on a line in the yard.C.Moreover, some environmentally friendly Americans prefer saving energy.D.Besides outdoor clotheslines should not be allowed to use in the yard.3.Which of the following best describes Matt Reck?A.He is an impolite man.B.He is a kind-hearted man.C.He is an experienced gardener.D.He is a man of social responsibility.4.Who are in favor of clothesline drying?A.Housing businessesB.EnvironmentalistsC.Homeowners AssociationsD.Reck’s dissatisfied neighbors5.What is mainly discussed in the text?A.Clothesline drying a way to save energy and money.B.Clothesline drying a lost art rediscovered.C.Opposite opinions on clothesline drying.D.Different varieties of clotheslines.第三篇On a hot day in Alexander City, Alabama, summer school was in full swing. Two girls were reading "Julius Caesar" as two others wrestled with maths. A boy worked his way through a psychology quiz, and a teacher monitored an online discussion with students from around the state: Was Napoleon the last enlightened despot(专制君主）or the first modern dictator?This is not a traditional classroom scene, but it has become common enough in Alabama. The state has many small, rural schools. Because of their size, and the relative scarcity of specialized teachers, course offerings have been limited. Students might have had to choose between chemistry or physics, or stop after two years of Spanish. But thanks to an innovative experiment with online education, the picture has changed dramatically.In 2005, the governor, Bob Riley, announced a pilot programme called Alabama Connecting Classrooms Educators and Students Statewide, or ACCESS. The idea was to use internet and videoconferencing technology to link students in one town to teachers in another. It was something of a pet cause for Mr. Riley, who comes from a rural county himself. He was especially keen that students should have a chance to learn Chinese.There were skeptics. The pilot programme cost $10 million, not pocket change in a poor state. Teachers worried about how they would connect totheir virtual students. But ACCESS quickly became a hit. In 2006, students took more than 4, 000 courses at 24 schools. In 2008, with ACCESS now in more schools, the number exceeded 22,000. Administrators are finding new ways to live up the experience. Last year a dozen schools went on a "virtual field trip" to Antarctica, with scientists beamed in by satellite, and a school in Birmingham has been liaising(取得联系）with a counterpart in Wales.As for the goal of leveling the academic playing field, the state is pleased so far. Joe Morton, the state superintendent of schools, points to the number of black students taking AP courses. In 2003, according to the College Board, just 4.5% of Alabama’s successful AP students (those who passed the subject exam) were black. In 2008, the number was up to 7.1%. There is still a big gap — almost a third of the state’s students are black — but the improvement in Alabama was the largest in the country over that period. "That makes it all worthwhile right there," says Mr. Morton.1.Why summer school is popular in Alabama?A.Because there are many rural schools in this state.B.Because there are not enough skilled teachers in this state.C.Because the online education made it possible.D.Because the courses for students are limited in number.2.What's Bob Riley's view about the ACCESS?A.It is not practical in the rural areas.D.It was set up for Chinese learning.C.It only connects part of the schools in Alabama.D.It can link the students and teachers in different towns.3.The "virtual field trip" is mentioned by the author to _____.A.indicate the government's efforts on ACCESSB.show that the ACCESS is costlyC.declare teachers worries on ACCESSD.point out the difficulties on ACCESS4.What can we learn about the effect of providing a fair academic atmosphere?A.There is little change by now since the implement of ACCESS.B.The black students have got benefits from this programme.C.The efforts devoted on ACCESS were not deserved.D.Almost a third of the students in Alabama have the education chance.5.It can be concluded from the whole passage that online education _____.A.is a cheap plan to AlabamaB.is not practical in AlabamaC.can improve the education qualityD.has been available to all American states第四篇Extinction has recently become a catchword（时髦话）. Every day entire species of plants and animals die out，and for the first time in history this is due to the actions of just one species: humans. We already know about five mass extinctions，and now a sixth seems to be under way. This one is different，because it is man-made. Deforestation（毁林）of the rain forests is just one aspect of the phenomenon. Most people may have heard about that，but few people know that most of the species existing in the rain forests have never been described by science. Often，they die out before we ever know they existed. Nobody can tell what treasures we lose，perhaps a cure for cancer or other modern-day diseasesWorld-famous Harvard professor Edward O. Wilson examines life on our planet in his book The Diversity （多样性）of Life. He doesn’t lecture his readers，but states in a matter-of-fact way what is known about the Earths past and the impact of mankind on its plant and animal life. Meanwhile，he suggests solutions for the present crisis.If you are interested in the future of planet Earth and want to learn to see the bigger picture，this is the book for you. This is no light bedtime reading and will probably leave you feeling uneasy. However，it’s important for people living in the 21st century to think about how we can pass at least part of thisdiversity on to our children. Recent research shows that Earth needs about 10 million years to restore the lost diversity of species after a great crisis. Ten million years are not much in terms of the life of a planet，but the period is way too long for mankind. Wilson’s book should help us to start a process of reconsideration.1.Judging from the context，what does the word “extinction” （Line 1，Para 1）mean?Dying out of an entire species.Killing of wild animals by man.Deforestation of the rain forest.Death of many plants and animals.2.Why is the present mass extinction different from the five previous ones?Because it is larger in scale.Because it is caused by man.Because the lost diversity can never be restored.Because it threatens the very existence of humans.3.How long does the Earth need to restore the lost diversity of species after a great crisis according to recent research?About 10 million years.21 centuries.A life-long time.It could never be restored.4.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.now there are more species on our planet than before.every plant or animal is described in the book The Diversity of Life.without man’s interference every species would have survived.many species lived and died without ever being noticed by man.5.What is the chief purpose of Edward O. Wilson in writing the book The Diversity of Life?To provide readers with some interesting bedtime reading.To help specialists do research on plant and animal life.To arouse readers’ interest in the history of our planet.To remind us of the urgency of preserving the diversity of life.第五篇Chinese people are very hospitable and like to treat friends or business partners to a sumptuous dinner to show their hospitality and sincerity. Such dinners are important for Chinese, and many business deals are settled there.The seating arrangement is very particular, but may differ from place to place.Generally, the table for a banquet is round. The head seat is the central one that faces the entrance door, and this is normally where the host sits. Sometimes it can also be reserved for the guest who is either the eldest, the most important, or holds the highest rank.The seat on the immediate right is for the honored guest, and the seat on the immediate left is for the second guest. The seating arrangement usually follows two principals: one relates to the distance to the head seat, and the other gives priority to seats on the right.The seat opposite the head seat is usually taken by a person from the hosting group: sometimes it suggests that the person who is seated there will pay for the dinner.In a Chinese dinner, keeping the balance between the proportion of meat and vegetable dishes is viewed a a given. Normally, the main guest, olderpeople or those of higher rank are given the honor of ordering. Sometimes the host will order according to guest tastes.In a Chinese dinner, cold dishes are served first, then hot dishes, then staple food, fruits are served last. Cold dishes are regularly ordered in an even number depending on the number of guests. The number of hot dishes, as for main courses, usually falls as four, six or eight (or other even numbers because Chinese people believe them to be lucky). Regular dinner usually has six to twelve hot dishes Staples such as rice, pancakes, noodles, dumplings and others are provided after the hot dishes, then sometimes comes soup, with fruit served at the end.Unlike most Westerners, Chinese usually share all of the dishes on the table. There is usually a large rotating tray, and all the dishes ordered are placed on it. When eating one uses chopsticks or a spoon transfer the food into one’s own plate or bowl. People take just one portion each time not all the food they want to eat.In daily life, chopsticks also play an important role in Chinese table manners and some principals need to be kept in mind. Before the meal, the chopstick should be placed parallel to one another on the right side of one’s plate or bowl; during the meal, the chopsticks should be placed on the rack or plate after use, not placed casually back on the table. After the meal, thechopsticks should be placed in a vertical line on the middle of the rice bowl Do not use chopsticks to turn over the food in the dishes. Do not point at people with the chopsticks during a meal.In China, the dinner bill will usually be paid by the one who issued the invitation, but sometimes Chinese will compete to pay for the bill. This is mainly related to the culture of maintaining face. Chinese usually believe that whoever pays the bill is more generous and values the friendship more, and thus gains more face.China is a country with a splendid catering culture diverse in its various culinary regions; just remember, “A guest should suit the convenience of the host” and “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.1.Which of the following statements about seating arrangement is NOT TRUE?A.Generally, round tables are used at Chinese banquets.B.The seat facing the entrance is the seat of honor.C.The seat opposite the head seat is usually reserved for the eldest.D.Those of higher position sit closer to the head seat.2.The main courses usually are ordered in even number because ______.A.Chinese people like to share the dishes with othersB.Even number symbolize the longevity and immortality in ChinaC.It is a traditional way to show respect to the guestsD.Chinese people regard even numbers as lucky numbers3. In a Chinese dinner, rice is usually served ______.A.before the cold dishesB.after the hot dishesC.after the soupD.at the end14.Which of the following behaviors may be regarded as impolite when using the chopsticks?A.During the meal, placing the chopstick on the rack of plate after use.B.Before the meal, placing the chopstick parallel to one another on the right side of the bowl.C.During the meal, inserting the chopsticks into the bowls or dishes.D.When eating, using chopsticks to transfer the food into one’s own plate or bowl.15.Why do Chinese people compete to be the one to pay for the bill according to the passage?A.To establish trust.B.To prove that they are humble and polite.C.To show they are very rich.D.To maintain face.答案第一篇1.本题考查细节题。

考研英一真题阅读理解考研英一真题阅读理解1A new survey by Harvard University finds more than two-thirds of young Americans disapprove of President Trump’s use of Twitter. The implication is that Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered through other source, Not a president’s social media platform.Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines. Yet as distrust has risen toward all media, people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills. Such a trend is badly needed. During the 20XX presidential campaign, nearly a quarter of web content shared by Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news, according to the University of Oxford. And a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found 44 percent of Facebook users rarely or never trust news from the media giant.Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating fact from fiction in cyberspace. A Knight Foundation focus-group survey of young people between ages14and24 f ound they use “distributed trust” to verify stories. Theycross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any bias. “Many young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselves and actively seeking out opposing viewpoints,” the survey concluded.Such active research can have another effect. A 20XX survey conducted in Australia, Britain, and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people’s reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.Social media allows users to experience news events more intimately and immediately while also permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests. This forces users to be more conscious of their role in passing along information. A survey by Barna research group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is “reader error,” more so than made-up stories or factual mistakes in reporting. About a third say the problem of fake news lies in “misinterpretation or exaggeration of actual news” via social media. In other words, the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of the issue. “This indicates there is a real personal responsibility incounteracting this problem,” says Roxanne Stone, editor in chief at Barna Group.So when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president, they reveal a mental discipline in thinking skills – and in their choices on when to share on social media.26. According to the Paragraphs 1 and 2, many young Americans cast doubts on[A] the justification of the news-filtering practice.[B] people’s preference for social media platforms.[C] the administrations ability to handle information.[D] social media was a reliable source of news.27. The phrase “beer up”(Line 2, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to[A] sharpen[B] define[C] boast[D] share28. According to the knight foundation survey, young people[A] tend to voice their opinions in cyberspace.[B] verify news by referring to diverse resources.[C] have s strong sense of responsibility.[D] like to exchange views on “distributed trust”29. The Barna survey found that a main cause for the fake news problem is[A] readers outdated values.[B] journalists’ biased reporting[C] readers’ misinterpretation[D] journalists’ made-up stories.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A] A Rise in Critical Skills for Sharing News Online[B] A Counteraction Against the Over-tweeting Trend[C] The Accumulation of Mutual Trust on Social Media.[D] The Platforms for Projection of Personal Interests.考研英一真题阅读理解2Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumptions that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The court would be recklessly modest if it followed Californias advice. Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justice can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.They should start by discarding Californias lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone- a vast storehouse of digital information is similar to say, going through a suspects purse .The court has ruled that police dont violate the Fourth Amendment when they go through the wallet or pocketbook, of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring ones smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestees reading history, financial history, medical history andcomprehensive records of recent correspondence. The development of "cloud computing." meanwhile, has made that exploration so much the easier.But the justices should not swallow Californias argument whole. New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitutions protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.26. The Supreme court, will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legitimate to[A] search for suspects mobile phones without a warrant.[B] check suspects phone contents without being authorized.[C] prevent suspects from deleting their phone contents.[D] prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones.27. The authors attitude toward Californias argument is one of[A] tolerance.[B] indifference.[C] disapproval.[D] cautiousness.28. The author believes that exploring ones phone content is comparable to[A] getting into ones residence.[B] handing ones historical records.[C] scanning ones correspondences.[D] going through ones wallet.29. In Paragraph 5 and 6, the author shows his concern that[A] principles are hard to be clearly expressed.[B] the court is giving police less room for action.[C] phones are used to store sensitive information.[D] citizens privacy is not effective protected.30.Orin Kerrs comparison is quoted to indicate that(A)the Constitution should be implemented flexibly.(B)New technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution.(C)Californias argument violates principles of the Constitution.(D)Principles of the Constitution should never be altered.考研英一真题阅读理解3An old saying has it that half of all advertising budgets are wasted-the trouble is, no one knows which half . In the internet age, at least in theory ,this fraction can be much reduced . By watching what people search for, click on and say online, companies can aim “behavioural” ads at those most likely to buy.In the past couple of weeks a quarrel has illustrated the value to advertisers of such fine-grained information: Should advertisers assume that people are happy to be tracked and sent behavioural ads? Or should they have explicit permission?In December 20XX Americas Federal Trade Cornmission (FTC) proposed adding a "do not track "(DNT) option to internet browsers ,so that users could tell adwertisers that they did not want to be followed .Microsofts Internet Explorer and Apples Safari both offer DNT ;Googles Chrome is due to do so this year. InFebruary the FTC and Digltal Adwertising Alliance (DAA) agreed that the industry would get cracking on responging to DNT requests.On May 31st Microsoft Set off the row: It said that Internet Explorer 10,the version due to appear windows 8, would have DNT as a default.It is not yet clear how advertisers will respond. Geting a DNT signal does not oblige anyone to stop tracking, although some companies have promised to do so. Unable to tell whether someone really objects to behavioural ads or whether they are sticking with Microsoft’s default, some may ign ore a DNT signal and press on anyway.Also unclear is why Microsoft has gone it alone. Atter all, it has an ad business too, which it says will comply with DNT requests, though it is still working out how. If it is trying to upset Google, which relies almost wholly on default will become the norm. DNT does not seem an obviously huge selling point for windows8-though the firm has compared some of its other products favourably with Googles on that count before. Brendon Lynch, Microsofts chief privacy officer, bloggde:"we believe consumers should have more control." Could it really be that simple?26. It is suggested in paragraph 1 that “behavioural” ads help advertisers to:[A] ease competition among themselves[B] lower their operational costs[C] avoid complaints from consumers[D] provide better online services27. “The industry” (Line 6,Para.3) refers to:[A] online advertisers[B] e-commerce conductors[C] digital information analysis[D] internet browser developers28. Bob Liodice holds that setting DNT as a default[A] many cut the number of junk ads[B] fails to affect the ad industry[C] will not benefit consumers[D] goes against human nature29. which of the following is ture according to Paragraph.6?[A] DNT may not serve its intended purpose[B] Advertisers are willing to implement DNT[C] DNT is losing its popularity among consumers[D] Advertisers are obliged to offer behavioural ads30. The authors attitude towards what Brendon Lynch said in his blog is one of:[A] indulgence[B] understanding[C] appreciaction[D] skepticism。
