Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ASteven Spielberg has always had one goal: to tell as many great stories to as many people as possible. Spielberg spent his early childhood in New Jersey and，later, Arizona. Some of his childhood memories became the inspiration for his filmmaking.Even decades later，Spielberg says he has clear memories of his earliest years，which are the origins of some of his biggest hits. He believes that E.T.is the result of the difficult years leading up to his parent’s 1966 divorce，―It is really about a young boy who was in search of some stability in his life.‖ ―He was scared of just about everything，‖ recalls his mother, ―When trees brushed against the ho use，he would jump into my bed. And that’s just the kind of scary stuff he would put in films like Poltergeist.‖ To this day, Spielberg’s wife, actress Kate Capshaw , says her husband remains terrified of airplanes.Spielberg was 11 when he first got his h ands on his dad’s movie camera and began shooting short movies about World War ΙΙ battles. These homemade movies gave him a way to escape his fears. From the very beginning, he had a creative imagination. With his talent for scary storytelling, he could terrify his three younger sisters. It also made it easier for him to make friends. On camping trips, when night fell，young Spielberg became the center of attention. He would start telling his ghost stories, and everyone would suddenly get quiet so that they could all hear it.Spielberg moved to California with his father and went to high school there，but his grades were so bad that he hardly graduated. Both UCLA and USC film schools rejected him，so he entered California State University at Long Beach because it was close to Hollywood. Spielberg was determined to make movies，and he managed to get an unpaid，non-credit internship（实习）in Hollywood. Soon he was given a contract, and he dropped out of college. He never looked back.Now，many years later，Spielberg is still telling stories with as much enthusiasm as when he was a boy.56. We can infer that Poltergeist is probably a(n)___________.A romance filmB horror filmC comedy filmD action film57. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that Steven Spielberg ___________.A. was a good communicatorB. was good at making friendsC. had a talent for filmmakingD. made some classic movies58. Which of the following is TRUE about Steven Spielberg according toParagraph 4 ?A. He is kind-hearted .B. He performed well in high school .C. He is strong-mindedD. He lacked confidence about his career.59. According to Paragraph 4, Steven Spielberg ________.A. didn’t finish college B never went to collegeC. got bad grades in collegeD. rejected two film schools60. The author writes the text to ________.A. advertise readersB. inform readersC. entertain readersD. persuade readersBWhen nature lovers all over the world wish all humans to realize the importance of their natural surroundings, many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.Julie Astonis, an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example. Even though autumn is approaching Australia's Brisbane in April, one can still watch colorful blooming (盛开的) flowers in Julie's little garden, as she tells that in her community, ―Each of us has a beautiful yard. The whole community, from children to elderly people, takes care of the environme nt as if they are taking care of their own garden.‖ ―Gardening is the most popular club in our community,‖ she says. ―A lot of retired people don't just regularly organize gardening lectures, but also personally visit families in the community to provide gardening training. So you can see that flowers continue to blossom in our gardens throughout the year.‖ Talking about her people's sense of caring for the environment, Julie says when people in the community take along their dog, they always ca rry a garbage bag to deal with the dog's waste. ―In our community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass,‖ says Julie with a smile. ―Taking care of the the dog's waste can also help to develop children's sense of responsibility!‖As to protecting water resources, the Australian government has made strict rules for families. Julie says, ―We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!‖ She says almost every family in her community has a huge tank used to store rainwater, which is later used as the resource of all outdoor water use, including car washing and watering the garden. This year, they also asked people to connect the water tank with their toilets.61. From the first three paragraphs we learn that_____A. gardening is popular in most parts of AustraliaB. April is a great time for people to enjoy flowersC. Julie's community has a deep sense of caring for nature3D. it's not easy to keep a garden without proper training62. Why can flowers be seen all year round in Julie's community?A. Families are taught how to take care of their gardens.B. Gardening lessons are often given by professors.C. The local government provides free gardening training.D. There is enough rainwater to water the flowers regularly.63. What do we know about Julie from the passage?A. She finds it embarrassing to walk on the grass.B. She once stepped on a dog's waste.C. She is quite in favor of raising a dog.D. She takes pride in her community.64. From what Julie says in the last paragraph, we know___.A. rainwater is not the best resourceB. her community makes full use of resourcesC. her community owns a public tankD. it is not necessary to water flowers very often65. What would be the best title for the text?A. How Australians save resources B Love nature, the Australian wayC. How Australians lead their lifeD. Protect nature, a must of lifeC―Plants were supposed to grow larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide, ―said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers point out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for the shrinking of creatures.―We do not yet know the exact mechanisms involved, or why some organisms are getting smaller while others are unaffected,‖ the researchers said. ―Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can’t yet quantify.‖The change was big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles (爬行动物) smaller. An increase of only 1℃ caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism (新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth.. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures’ negative effects on plankton (浮游生物), the base of the marine ecosystem.Warm-blooded animals weren’t immune from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical recor ds. This isn’t the first time this has happened in Earth’s history.55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and antsto shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in the future.66. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Why do some species become smaller?B. Species become smaller as climate warms.C. Climate change has many negative effects.D. How does climate change i n Earth’s history?67. The underlined word ―trumped‖ in the first paragraph can be replaced by ―________‖.A. beatenB. increasedC. strengthenedD. equaled68. Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that ________.A. climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animalsB. all the animals on the Earth have become smallerC. too many studies on animals’ sizes have been doneD. how climate change affects animals’ sizes has not been found clearly69. What can we learn from the passage?A. Cold-blooded animals become smaller because of the lack of food.B. Birds have suffered more from climate change than fish.C.

Concerned.C. Indifferent.D. Confident.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION A（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Whenever the subject of smoking and health is raised, a few governments have taken timid measures. In Britain for instance, cigarette advertising has been banned on television. The conscience of the nation is appeased(使缓和）, while the population continues to puff its way to smoky, cancerous death.It's easy to find out why the official reactions to medical findings have been so enthusiastic. The answer is simply money. Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It’s almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities.This is surely the most short-sighted policy. While money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research to4cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better-off if smoking were banned altogether.Of course, we are not ready for such a severe action. But if the governments of the world were honestly concerned about the welfare of their pe oples, you’d think they’d conduct aggressive anti-smoking campaigns. Far from it! The tobacco industry is allowed to spend staggering sums on advertising. Its advertising is as dangerous as it is dishonest. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always describe strong, clean-shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense!For a start, governments could begin by banning all cigarette and tobacco advertising and should then conduct anti-smoking advertising campaigns of their own. Smoking should be banned in all public places like theatres, cinemas and restaurants. Great efforts should be made to inform young people especially of the awful consequences of taking up the habit. A horrific warning –say, a picture of a death’s head – should be included in every packet of cigarettes that is sold. As individuals, we are certainly weak, but if governments acted honestly and courageously, they could protect us from ourselves.Title: World governments should conduct serious campaign against71._____________A few governments’ attit udestoward banning smoking72. __________73._________ for the officialreactions74.__________Effects of the policy ※ Much money spent on 75. _________※ Many ads doing76. _________ to people77. ___________ ※ Ban all cigarette and tobacco advertising※ Conduct 78 __________________※ 79. _________ of the horrible effect of smoking※ Show 80. __________ in every packet of cigaretteSection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Born on Oct. 17, 1956, in Decatur, Ala., and raised in Chicago, Jemison was a hard-working child, spending hours in the school library reading about astronomy and other sciences. Her parents — a carpenter father and a teacher mother — encouraged her curiosity, even allowing her to study pus (脓) when she got an infection from a splinter (碎片).―It sounds a little sickening, but I was fascinated with pus,‖ Jemison said during a 1996 interview with Stafford Today.‖ I ran and showed it to my mother and she was telling me it was pus. And I ended updoing this whole project, reading about pus.‖This desire to learn about nature and how it all fits together eventually led her to pursue a degree in chemical engineering from Stanford University, which she started at 16 years old in 1973. By 1981, Jemison had her Doctor of Medicine Degree from Cornel Medical College.It wasn’t until 1992, however, that another childhood desire was achieved: she launched into orbit above the earth aboard the space shuttle Endeavour. She was so determined, in fact, that even though her first application to NASA was turned down in 1983, she reapplied in 1987. After being selected for the astronaut program upon her second try, she was assigned to launch support activities at the Kennedy Space Center, Fla.After working on the ground for five years, Jemison was finally sent into space as the science mission specialist on STS-47 Spacelab-J mission from Sept. 12-20, 1992.The mission made Jemison not only the first African American woman accepted to the astronaut training program, but also the first to travel in space. She highlighted this fact, according to Doris L. Rich, the biographer of Bessie Coleman, by bringing a photo of Coleman with her into space. Coleman was the first African-American woman to fly an airplane in the U.S.81. What made Jemison go to study chemical engineering in Stanford University?

He then finished it in just two days. “Dad, why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad?” He tearfully asked me.The story is set on a remote island, where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island’s creatures, and becomes part of the community. For my son, it was the first book he discovered on his own; the first to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧) and joy.When I finished the book, I knew why Henry loved it. In our book club discussion, he described how Brown’s pictures and words had made the story feel real. When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body, Henry cried again. His previous reading experiences had cheerful, “happily-ever-after” endings, but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions. I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments, but failed to fully convince him.Once our discussion ended, Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it. He read the first two books repeatedly, so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects.We both agree it is worth the wait. Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat: “the poison tide.” Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas- not just happiness and sadness, but also, given the climate-change undercurrents, hope and despair.And, here’s something special about Roz: her physical clumsiness and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downturned mouth. Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place, much like a child’s journey. Readers love Roz. They learn from her. Even better, they learn alongside her. Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book’s sad parts, getting him ready to appreciate that, sometimes, sadness isn’t a bad thing to feel.4. What drove the author to read The Wild Robot?A．Its tragic ending. B．Henry’s tearful recommendation.C．Its attractive cover. D．Henry’s emotional response to it.5. What is one theme of The Wild Robol Protects?A．Family and community. B．Concerns of global issues.C．Exploration of the ocean. D．Man-robot relationship.6. What makes Roz in the trilogy special?A．Her childlike expressions. B．Her robotic power.C．Her struggling experiences. D．Her adventurous spirit.7. Which message does this text seem to communicate?A．Misfortune inspires great literary works. B．Robot stories work like magic onchildren.C．Book discussions help kids survive tragedies. D．Reading literature facilitates personal growth.Commercial aviation (航空) alone contributes around three percent of total global carbon emissions (排放). But the industry is actively looking for green solutions in the form of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In a study released this week, a team of researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Ener gy Laboratory (NREL) details a method of transforming food waste into SAF that can be used in existing engines. Making SAF is a more complicated process—it’s got to be very similar to the petrol-based aviation fuel we use today in commercial flights.The researchers use volatile fatty acids (挥发性脂肪酸)(VFAs) from smelly food waste and transform it into simple paraffin molecules (石蜡分子) that can be used in fuel and really aren’t all that chemically different from traditional emissions-heavy fuels. There are other renewable biofuels that have been made from biomass (生物质), specifically oil and fat from vegetables and animals, but using the ever-mounting pile of food waste to fuel flights broadens those possibilities.Derek Vardon, a senior research engineer at NREL, says major companies are eager to get involved in SAF because some sustainable solutions, such as battery-operated commercial flights, just aren’t possible yet with current battery technology. A battery-powered plane would be too heavy to fly long distances—“So using SAF that works in the same way as the fuel we have is a simpler way to trade out traditional emissions-heavy fuels.” Vardon also says that “because the wet waste would normally go to a landfill and break down to release greenhouse gases, the process of making and using SAF could actually have a negative carbon footprint when it is dramatically used.”A major question as the researchers move forward with this type of research is if it is possible to run an airplane engine on fully renewable biofuel. Rolls-Royce recently did a test on one of their engines with 100 percent SAF and it worked. “This fuel is not crazy and we can solve these problems,” Vardon says.8. Which of the following is TRUE about SAF?A．It can be used to reduce carbon emissions globally.B．It’s less functional than the petrol-based aviation fuel.C．It’s composed of VFAs and simple paraffin molecules.D．It is virtually impossible to be made from biomass like oil and fat.9. What is the focus of Vardon’s words in paragraph 3?A．The benefits of food rubbish-generated SAF. B．The environmental impacts of the wet waste.C．The simple process of making and using SAF. D．The future of battery-operated commercial flights.10. What is the author’s purpose of referring to Rolls-Royce’s test in the last paragraph?A．To promote its production. B．To confirm the potential of SAF.C．To show off its powerful airplaneengines.D．To express doubt about the research.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Natural emergence of renewable biofuels B．Green alternative to emissions-heavyfuelsC．Unavoidable decline of commercial aviation D．Gradual reduction in greenhouse gas emissionsThe curb cut (路缘坡) is a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder —in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car — all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.But it was created with a different purpose in mind.It’s hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.I think about the “cur b cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equity (公平). The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by Policy Link CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity as “a zero-sum game (零和游戏)” and that it is commonly believed that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one g roup hurts another.” What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.”There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society — and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle (密商) was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who could have read their sign language. Today, it’s used by every team to prevent the opponent from learning about game-winning strategies.So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.12. What does the underlined quote from the disability rights leader imply concerning a six-inch curb?A．It is an unforgettable symbol. B．It is an important sign.C．It is an impassable barrier. D．It is an impressive landmark.13. According to Angela Blackwell, what do many people believe?A．It’s not worthwhile to promote health equity.B．It’s impossible to have everyone treated equally.C．It’s necessary to go all out to help the disabled.D．It’s fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others.14. Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle?A．A butterfly flapping its wings in one country leads to a Tornado in another country.B．The four great inventions of ancient China spread to the west.C．Your reaching out to the disadvantaged contributes to more people doing it.D．Reading machines for blind people helped build the navigation system in the car.15. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A．Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all.B．Action empowers those with opportunities for better solutions.C．Society should create circumstances that get everyone involved.D．Everyday items are originally invented for people in need of help.Physicist and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman developed a clever learning method known as the Feynman Technique. It involves explaining what you're learning to others. By teaching what you’ve learned from memory, you engage in active recall. 16 It also ensures that you understand the topic, because you can only explain an idea if you truly understand it. The technique consists of four repeatable steps.To begin, choose a concept or topic you wish to fully understand. 17 The more interested you are, the faster you’ll grasp it. Moreover, a personally interesting topic will keep you motivated and engaged.18 Write notes and explain it in a way that makes sense to a five-year-old. If you’d rather avoid actually teaching someone, you can just teach it to an imaginary audience. But it works much better if you use a real person. They’ll be able to let you know when something isn’t clear.While teaching you may discover gaps in your understanding. 19 Review your notes, reread books, or seek external help to ensure you have a complete understanding of the context before moving forward.Now that you fully grasp the concept, test your understanding by trying to teach it to another person. This will help you identify any remaining areas of uncertainty you need to revisit.The Feynman Technique is a great way for kids and grown-ups to learn. 20 You need to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else. However, with great efforts in mastering this method, you’ll see your learning results improve quicker than ever before.I found a brown bag outside after our move. “Grass Seed.” it said in big letters.

The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My granddad told me to just put my feet on the pedals and start pedaling (骑自行车). He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn’t.As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from pedaling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes and fell right off the bike. My granddad kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, 1 finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.As soon as I started pedaling again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. Since that happened , my granddad decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn’t that afraid of falling anymore.Though I knew there were a lot of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my granddad’s help. After all, riding a bike was what I wanted to do eagerly.24. How was the author when he was on the bike first?A. He didn’t know where he would be going.B.

The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person,it most likely requires the customers to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times----if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.28.Which of the following descriptions about Scout is right?A. They can be powered themselves.B. They are strong enough to carry big things.C. They can run with their six wheels.D. They can avoid obstacles ahead.29.What about Scout is still confusing to common people?A. How many deliveries it can do on a full charge.B. Whether it can climb stairs or open gates.C. How it recognizes the right owner of the things.D. How long it will take to get it fully charged.30.What does the underlined phrase "prior to" in paragraph 4 mean?A. due toB. afterC. in front ofD. before31.What is the author’s opinion about delivery robots according to the last paragraph?A. They are not easily available.B. They have some limitations.C. They will replace humans soon.D. They won’t be well accepted.DJust how much does the Constitution(宪法) protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant (授权令) if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to restore the practice that the police may search through the contents of suspects’ smartphones at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state says, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies .The justices would be careless if they followed California's advice. They should start by rejecting California’s weak argument that exploring the contents of a smart phone is similar to say, going through a suspect's wallet. The court has ruled that police don't offend against the Fourth Amendment(修正案) when they go through the wallet of an arrestee without a warrant. In fact, exploring one's smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestee's reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence.Americans should take steps to protect their own digital privacy and should avoid putting important information in smartphones. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution's prohibition on unreasonable searches.In many cases, it would not be very difficult for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still trump(打出王牌) the Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe and dangerous circumstances, such as the threat of immediate harm, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not deleted or altered while a warrant is on the way. The justices, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more flexibility.But the justices should not swallow California's argument whole. New technology sometimes demands fresh applications of the Constitution's 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. At that time, the justices had to explain new rules for the new personal domain(领域) of cars. Similarly, the justices must sort out how the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution applies to digital information now.32.The author’s attitude toward California’s argument is _____________.A. skepticalB. tolerantC. indifferentD. disapproving33.The author believes that exploring one's phone content is comparable to_____________.A. getting into one's residenceB. handing one's historical recordsC. scanning one's correspondencesD. going through one's wallet34.In paragraph 4 and 5, the author shows his concern that_____________.A. principles are hard to be clearly expressedB. citizens' privacy is not effectively protectedC. phones are used to store sensitive informationD. the court is giving police less room for action35.Orin Kerr's comparison is quoted to indicate that_____________.A. the Constitution should be implemented flexiblyB. Principles of the Constitution should never be changedC. New technology requires reinterpretation of the ConstitutionD. California's argument violates principles of the Constitution第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
