武汉大学2007年博士研究生入学考试英语试题Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets.What is so special about intuitive talent? Extensive research on brain skills indicates that those who score as highly intuitively on such test instruments as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator tend to be the most innovative in strategic planning and decisionmaking. They tend to be more insightful and better at finding new ways of doing things. In business, they are the people who can sense whether a new product idea will "fly" in the marketplace. They are the people who will generate ingenious new solutions to old problems that may have festered for years. These are the executives that all organizations would love to find.But, surprisingly, organizations often thwart, block, or drive out this talent--the very talent they require for their future survival! At the very least, most organizations lack well- established human-capital programs designed to search for and consciously use their employees' intuitive talent in the strategic-planning process. As a result, this talent is either not used, suppressed, or lost altogether.Typically, highly intuitive managers work in an organizational climate that is the opposite of that which would enable them to flourish and to readily use their skills for strategic decisionmaking. This climate can be characterized as follows: New ideas are not readily encouraged. Higher managers choose others who think much as they do for support staff. Unconventional approaches to problemsolving encounter enormous resistance. Before long, the intuitive executive begins to emotionally withdraw, slowly but surely reducing his or her input and often leaving the organization altogether.To achieve higher productivity in the strategic-planning and decisionmaking process, clearly what is needed is an organizational climate in which intuitive brain skills and styles can flourish and be integrated with more-traditional management techniques. The organization's leadership must have a special sensitivity to the value of intuitive input in strategic decisionmaking and understand how to create an environment in which the use of intuition will grow, integrating it into the mainstream of the organization's strategic-planning process.1. Which of the following does NOT describe intuitive talents?A. They are innovative in strategic planning.B. They are good at finding new approaches to old problems.C. They are the executives that all organizations would love to find.D. They are fully utilized.2. Highly intuitive managers typically work in a climate that ______.A. enables them to flourishB. discourages new ideasC. achieves higher productivityD. both A and C3. An executive might leave the organization because ______.A. he is hurtB. he is firedC. his intuitive talent is not usedD. he earns too little4. An organization's leadership should do all of the following EXCEPT ______.A. separating intuitive styles from traditional management techniquesB. learning how to use creative thinkingC. learning how to use problemsolving skillsD. none of the aboveThe geology of the Earth's surface is dominated by the particular properties of water. Present on Earth in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, water is exceptionally reactive. It dissolves, transports, and precipitates many chemical compounds and is constantly modifying the face of the Earth.Evaporated from the oceans, water vapor forms clouds, some of which are transported by wind over the continents. Condensation from the clouds provides the essential agent of continental erosion: rain. Precipitated onto the ground, the water trickles down to form brooks, streams, and rivers, constituting what is called the hydrographic network. This immense polarized network channels the water toward a single receptacle: an ocean. Gravity dominates this entire step in the cycle because water tends to minimize its potential energy by running from high altitudes toward the reference point that is sea level.The rate at which a molecule of water passes through the cycle is not random but is a measure of the relative size of the various reservoirs. If we define residence time as the average time for a water molecule to pass through one of the three reservoirs--atmosphere, continent, and ocean--we see that the times are very different.A water molecule stays, on an average, eleven days in the atmosphere, one hundred years on a continent and forty thousand years in the ocean. This last figure shows the importance of the ocean as the principal reservoir of the hydrosphere but also the rapidity of water transport on the continents.A vast chemical separation process takes places during the flow of water over the continents. Soluble ions such as calcium, sodium, potassium, and some magnesium are dissolved and transported. Insoluble ions such as aluminum, iron, and silicon stay where they are and form the thin, fertile skin of soil on which vegetation can grow. Sometimes soils are destroyed and transported mechanically during flooding. The erosion of the continents thus results from two closely linked and interdependent processes, chemical erosion and mechanical erosion. Their respective interactions and efficiency depend on different factors.5. According to the passage, clouds are primarily formed by water ______.A. precipitating onto the groundB. changing from a solid to a liquid stateC. evaporating from the oceansD. being carried by wind6. The passage suggests that the purpose of the "hydrographic network" is to ______.A. determine the size of molecules of waterB. prevent soil erosion caused by floodingC. move water from the Earth's surface to the oceansD. regulate the rate of water flow from streams and rivers7. What determines the rate at which a molecule of water moves through the cycle, as discussed in the third paragraph?A. The potential energy contained in water.B. The effects of atmospheric pressure on chemical compounds.C. The amounts of rainfall that fall on the continents.D. The relative size of the water storage areas.8. All of the following are examples of soluble ions EXCEPT ______.A. magnesiumB. ironC. potassiumD. calciumPeople in the United States in the nineteenth century were haunted by the prospect that unprecedented change in the nation's economy would bring social chaos. In the years following 1820, after several decades of relative stability, the economy entered a period of sustained and extremely rapid growth that continued to the end of the nineteenth century. Accompanying that growth was a structural change that featured increasing economic diversification and a gradual shift in the nation's labor force from agriculture to manufacturing and other nonagricultural pursuits.Although the birth rate continued to decline from its high level of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, the population roughly doubled every generation during the rest of the nineteenth century. As the population grew, its makeup also changed. Massive waves of immigration brought new ethnic groups into the country. Geographic and social mobility-- downward as well as upward--touched almost everyone. Local studies indicate that nearly three-quitters of the population--in the North and South, in the emerging cities of the Northeast, and in the restless rural counties of the West--changed their residence of the Northeast, and in the restless rural counties of the West--changed their residence each decade. As a consequence, historian David Donald has written, "Social atomization affected every segment of society," and it seemed to many people that "all the recognized values of orderly civilization were gradually being eroded."Rapid industrialization and increased geographic mobility in the nineteenth century had special implications for women because these changes tended to magnify social distinctions. As the roles men and women played in society became more rigidly defined, so did the roles they played in the home. In the context of extreme competitiveness and dizzying social change, the household lost many of its earlier functions and the home came to serve as a haven of tranquility and order. As the size of families decreased, the roles of husband and wife became more clearly differentiated than ever before. In the middle class especially, men participated in the productive economy while women ruled the home and served as the custodians of civility and culture. The intimacy of marriage that was common in earlier periods was rent, and a gulf that at times seemed unbridgeable was created between husbands and wives.9. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The economic development of the United States in the eighteenth century.B. Ways in which economic development led to social changes in the United States.C. Population growth in the western United States.D. The increasing availability of industrial jobs for women in the United States.10. According to the passage, the economy of the United States between 1820 and 1900 was ______.A. expandingB. in sharp declineC. stagnateD. disorganized11. According to the passage, as the nineteenth century progressed, the people of the United States ______.A. emigrated to other countriesB. often settled in the WestC. tended to change the place in which they livedD. had a higher rate of birth than ever before12. Which of the following best describes the society about which David Donald wrote?A. A highly conservative society that was resistant to new ideas.B. A society that was, undergoing fundamental change.C. A society that had been gradually changing since the early 1700'sD. A nomadic society that was starting permanent settlements.Standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon, gazing across this giant wound in the Earth's surface, a visitor might assume that the canyon had been caused by some ancient convulsion.In fact the events that produced the canyon, far from being sudden and cataclysmic, simply add up to the slow and orderly process of erosion.Many millions of years ago the Colorado Plateau in the Grand Canyon area contained 10, 000 more feet of rock than it does today and was relatively level. The additional material consisted of some 14-layered formations of rock. In the Grand Canyon region these layers were largely worn away over the course of millions of years.Approximately 65 million years ago the plateau's flat surface in the Grand Canyon area bulged upward from internal pressure; geologists refer to this bulging action as upwarping; it was followed by a general elevation of the whole Colorado Plateau, a process that is still going on. As the plateau gradually rose, shallow rivers that meandered across it began to run more swiftly and cut more definite courses. One of these rivers, located east of the upwarp, was the ancestor of the Colorado. Another river system called the Hualapai, flowing west of the upwarp, extended itself eastward by cutting back into the upwarp; it eventually connected with the ancient Colorado and captured its waters. The new river then began to carve out the 277- mile-long trench that eventually became the Grand Canyon. Geologists estimate that this initial cutting action began no earlier than 10 million years go.Since then, the canyon forming has been cumulative. To the corrosive force of the river itself have been added other factors. Heat and cold, rain and snow, along with the varying resistance of the rocks, increase the opportunities for erosion. The canyon walls crumble; the river acquires a cutting tool, tons of debris, rainfall running off the high plateau creates feeder streams that carve side canyons. Pushing slowlybackward into the plateau, the side canyons expose new rocks, and the pattern of erosion continues.13. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Patterns of erosion in different mountain ranges.B. Forces that made the Grand Canyon.C. The increasing pollution of the Colorado River.D. The sudden appearance of the Grand Canyon.14. According to the passage, the first phenomenon to contribute to the formation of the Grand Canyon was ______.A. a series of volcanic eruptionsB. the collapse of rock formations in the Colorado PlateauC. a succession of floods from the Hualapai River and what is now the Colorado RiverD. the Earth's internal pressure lifting the Colorado Plateau region15. Which of the following conclusions about the Grand Canyon can be drawn from the passage?A. Its contours are constantly changing.B. It contains approximately 14 million tons of rock.C. Its eruptions have increased in recent years.D. It is being eroded by toxic waste and pollutants.16. The passage would most likely be found in a textbook on which of the following subjects?A. Astronomy.B. Botany.C. Geology.D. Chemistry.The political crisis in Ukraine, where opposition protesters are burning campfires and setting up tents in the center of Kiev, is presenting a test for Russia, which gambled heavily on its neighbor's presidential election.A defeat of the pro-Moscow candidate, Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, would humiliate the Kremlin one year after another former Soviet Republic, Georgia, slipped from its influence, according to observers and political analysts.The Ukrainian upheaval echoes what happened in Georgia, where protests over vote rigging led to the resignation of a Moscow-linked President and a landslide victory of a young, Western-educated and Western-oriented leader.For Moscow, the stakes are even higher in Ukraine. Unlike Georgia, Ukraine shares close ethnic and linguistic ties with Russia; Kiev, Ukraine's capital, is the cradle of the Russian culture and the ancient capital of the first Russian state.President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia wants to forge a closer union between three Slavic nations Russia, Ukraine, and tiny, authoritarian Belarns and Ukraine is key to the plan, Russian businesses have major interests in Ukraine, which borders Russia to the west. The Russian military also wants to have Ukraine as an ally over which it can hold sway, not as a potential NATO participant, the analysts said.As other former republics turned away from Russia, Moscow "gets the feeling that Ukraine is its closest ally, with a symbolic significance," said Marsha Lipman of the Carnegie Moscow Center. "Russia has given itself a goal of getting a controllable Ukraine. I'm afraid it won't happen."Putin quickly congratulated Yanukovych following Sunday's vote, which pitted the prime minister against opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko. But Western observers reported voting fraud, and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians rallied in protest."If the crisis lasts, .it will become a potential source of problems for Russia's relations with the West," said Alexander Pikayev, an independent politica! analyst in Moscow "Russia will have to share responsibility for the acute political crisis."The Kremlin had come out early and strongly for Yanukovych before the election. Putin traveled twice to Ukraine, ahead of each round of voting. To support the official purpose of his first visit, attending anniversary celebrations of Ukraine's liberation from the Nazis in World War Ⅱ, the festivities were rescheduled for 10 days earlier than the actual date.Since the vote, the Kremlin's propaganda machine has been in full swing. Russia's Channel One television, controlled by the Kremlin like all other major networks accused the Ukrainian opposition of breaking the law by declaring Yushehenko the rightfully elected President.In his prime-time show, television commentator Mikhail Leontyev compared the Ukrainian opposition to Middle Eastern militants. "But this is not the Gaza Strip, and the chaos cannot go on indefinitely," he said, warning that protest strikes would only hurt ordinary people.Russian television also aired reports on the anniversary of Georgia's "Rose Revolution" on Tuesday, saying the country was steeped in misery and poverty a year after the fall of the old government. Russian independent newspapers, however, which reach only a fraction of the TV audience, wrote about a different Georgia the same day telling how happy Georgians had decorated shop windows and restaurants with roses to celebrate.Many Russians view Ukraine's powerful opposition as a kind of force that has disappeared in Russia under the increasingly authoritarian Putin administration.Russia has not had a seriously contested presidential election since 1996, when Boris Yeltsin narrowly defeated a Communist challenger. The political opposition here is fractured and marginalized, ousted from parliament in last year's balloting closely directed by the Kremlin.Russian optimists hope a defeat of Yanukovyeh would force the Kremlin to reconsider its attempts to control political life in other former Soviet republics. Pessimists fear that his loss would only prompt the Kremlin to tighten its rule."The stakes are high," Lipman said. "It's a question of whether Russia's neighbor will be a Ukraine ruled not through democratic institutes but through administrative means, or a Ukraine that will embrace democracy."17. By saying "For Moscow, the stakes are even higher in Ukraine", the author means ______.A. all of the former Soviet Republics betrayed Russia except UkraineB. Ukraine is the key to Putin's political planC. Ukraine is unlike Georgia in many aspectsD. Ukraine weighs more for its close link with Russia18. As to Ukrainian election, which of the following is true?A. Any of Russia's improper responses will cause political crisis in Ukraine.B. Russia had rescheduled a lot of festivities before the actual date of the election.C. Putin's congratulation has caused opposition between the two candidates.D. The voting fraud reported by Kremlin caused a rally in protest.19. What's the meaning of the sentence "…the Kremlin's propaganda machine has been in full swing"?A. The Russian media has turned from side to side as it doesn't know which side to stand.B. The Russian media has shown an overwhelming support for Yanukovych.C. Different reports from Kremlin's media made the public swing from time to time.D. Unlike Western media, Kremlin's propaganda machine has taken a neutral stand.20. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Russians were dissatisfied with the absence of a seriously contested election.B. Russia would tighten its rule to control political life in other former Soviet Republics.C. A sequence of upheavals in its neighbors indicate Russia's loss of control over them.D. Russia would allow Ukraine to be ruled through democratic institutes.Part ⅡEnglish-Chinese Translation (20%)Directions:Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.Peace and development remain the principal themes in today's world, and the overall international security environment remains stable. But, uncertainties and destabilizing factors are on the increase, and new challenges and threats are continuously emerging. World peace and security face more opportunities than challenges. 21. The world is at a critical stage, moving toward multi-polarity. Progress is expected in addressing the serious imbalances in the international strategic alignment. The major international forces compete with and hold each other in check. But, they also maintain coordination and practical cooperation in their mutual relationships, and draw on each other's strengths. Some major developing countries and regional groupings have grown in power, and the developing world as a whole is becoming stronger. 22. Economic globalization accelerates and science and technology make rapid progress; there are profound changes in the international division of labor, global and regional economic cooperation is being vigorously promoted, leading to increasing interdependence among countries. More dialogues are being conducted on traditional security issues, and cooperation in non-traditional security fields is developing in depth. To address development and security issues through coordination, cooperation and multilateral mechanism is the preferred approach of the international community. The United Nations' status and role in world affairs are being upheld and strengthened. World wars or all-out confrontationbetween major countries are avoidable for the foreseeable future.The international community is increasingly facing comprehensive, diverse and complex security threats. The world is not yet peaceful. 23. Political, economic and security problems and geographical, ethnic and religious contradictions are interconnected and complex. Hegemonies and power politics remain key factors undermining international security. Non- traditional security threats present greater danger, and local turmoil caused by war is on and off, and some hotspots cannot be removed in a short time. The impact of economic globalization is spreading into the political, security and social fields. Global economic development is uneven, and the gap between the North and the South is widening. 24. Security issues related to energy, resources, finance, information and international shipping routes are mounting. International terrorist forces remain active, shocking terrorist acts keep occurring. Natural disasters, serious communicable diseases, environmental degradation, international crime and other transnational problems are becoming more damaging in nature.Part ⅢChinese-English Translation (20%)Directions:Translate the following short passage into English and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.今天，阿拉木图(Alma-Ata)宣言的目标比起25年前反而离实现更为遥远了。

In my mind, she is someone who is interested in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Besides, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have kept one at home for some time. With such a pen friend, I think I can share with her our traveling experiences, taking care of pets, or whatever we have in common. And I believe I will improve my English by doing so and learn more about her country.I look forward to hearing from you soon.Best regards,Li Hua。
2007年清华大学考博英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)
2007年清华大学考博英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Reading Comprehension 2. Structure and V ocabulary 3. Cloze 4. English-Chinese Translation 5. WritingReading ComprehensionSometimes, over a span of many years, a business will continue to grow, generating ever-increasing amounts of cash, repurchasing stock, paying increased dividends, reducing debt, opening new stores, expanding production facilities, moving into new markets, etc. , while at the same time its stock price remains stagnant (or even falls). When this happens, the average and professional investors alike tend to overlook the company because they become familiar with the trading range. Take, for example, Wal-Mart. Over the past five years, the retailing behemoth has grown sales by over 80%, profits by over 100%, and yet the stock price has fallen as much as 30% during that timeframe. Clearly, the valuation picture has changed. An investor that read the annual report back in 2000 or 2001 might have passed on the security, deeming it too expensive based on a metric such as the price to earnings ratio. Today, however, the equation is completely different—despite the stock price, Wal-Mart is, in essence, trading at half its former price because each share is backed by a larger dividend, twice the earnings power, more stores, and a bigger infrastructure. Home Depot is in much the same boat, largely because some Wall Street analysts question how fast two of the world’s largest companies can continue to grow before their sheer size slows them down to the rate of the general economy. Coca-Cola is another excellent example of this phenomenon. Ten years ago, in 1996, the stock traded between a range of $ 36. 10 and $ 54. 30 per share. At the time, it had reported earnings per share of $ 1. 40 and paid a cash dividend of $ 0. 50 per share. Corporate per share book value was $2. 48. Last year, the stock traded within a range of $40. 30 and $ 45. 30 per share; squarely in the middle of the same area it had been nearly a decade prior! Yet, despite the stagnant stock price, the 2006 estimates Value Line Investment Survey estimates for earnings per share stand around $ 2. 16 (a rise of 54%), the cash dividend has more than doubled to $1.20, book value is expected to have grown to $ 7. 40 per share (a gain of nearly 300%), and the total number of shares outstanding (未偿付的，未完成的) has actually decreased from 2. 481 billion to an estimated 2. 355 billion due to the company’s share repurchase program.1．This passage is probably a part of______.A．Find Hidden Value in the MarketB．Become RicherC．Get Good BargainsD．Identify Good Companies正确答案：A解析：主题型题。
2007考研英语text4最后一题
2007考研英语text4最后一题全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1The last question in the 2007 National Entrance Examination for Postgraduate Education in English (Text 4) required candidates to write an essay on the topic of "Cultural Differences Between China and the West." This topic is one that has been the subject of much discussion and debate over the years, as it touches on a range of fascinating issues related to history, politics, society, and culture.The question asked candidates to consider the following points:1. How have cultural differences between China and the West shaped their respective histories and worldviews?2. In what ways do these differences manifest themselves in everyday life, such as in communication, social interactions, and attitudes towards work and education?3. What are some of the key challenges and opportunities that arise from cultural differences between China and the West in an increasingly globalized world?To address these questions effectively, candidates needed to draw on their knowledge of Chinese and Western history, society, and culture, as well as their critical thinking skills and ability to analyze complex issues. They were also expected to communicate their ideas clearly and coherently in written form, demonstrating a strong command of the English language.The topic of cultural differences between China and the West is a rich and complex one, with no easy answers. It touches on issues of identity, power, and communication, and forces us to confront our own assumptions and biases. By engaging with this topic, candidates were given the opportunity to deepen their understanding of both Chinese and Western cultures, and to reflect on the ways in which cultural differences shape our worldviews and interactions with others.Overall, the last question in the 2007 National Entrance Examination for Postgraduate Education in English (Text 4) provided candidates with an important opportunity to reflect on the intricate web of cultural differences that define China and the West, and to explore the challenges and opportunities that arise from these differences in an increasingly interconnected world.

The questions required candidates to summarize the passage, identify the author’s purpose, and analyze the pros and cons of implementing solutions to combat global warming.The passage began by explaining that global warming is caused by the release of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, causing temperatures to rise and leading to various environmental consequences, such as melting polar ice caps, rising sea levels, and more frequent extreme weather events.One question asked candidates to provide a brief summary of the passage. The correct answer would have outlined the causes of global warming, its effects on the environment, and theimportance of finding solutions to address this pressing issue. Candidates were expected to demonstrate an understanding of the main points covered in the passage and present them concisely and accurately.Another question inquired about the author’s purpose in writing the passage.

By evaluating the language and content of the passage, candidates could identify the author’s intended message and the overall goal of the writing.The final question asked candidates to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of implementing solutions to combat global warming. This question required candidates to think critically and weigh the potential benefits and drawbacks of taking action to address climate change. Candidates were expected to consider factors such as economic costs, environmental benefits, and social implications when formulating their responses.Overall, the last question of the 2007 postgraduate English text 4 exam tested candidates’ reading comprehension skills, ability to analyze and evaluate information, and critical thinkingabilities. By engaging with the passage and answering the questions thoughtfully and accurately, candidates could demonstrate their proficiency in English language and their understanding of important global issues like climate change.篇32007考研英语text4最后一题是一道关于阅读理解的题目。
2007年厦门大学考博英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)
2007年厦门大学考博英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Reading Comprehension 2. Structure and V ocabulary 3. English-Chinese Translation 4. WritingReading ComprehensionFor the longest time, I couldn’t get worked up about privacy: my right to it; how it’s dying; how we’re headed for an even more wired, underregulated, overintrusive, privacy-deprived planet. I should also point out that as news director for Pathfinder, Time Inc.’s mega info mall,and a guy who makes his living on the Web, I know better than most people that we’re hurtling toward an even more intrusive world. We’re all being watched by computers whenever we visit Websites; by the mere act of “browsing” (it sounds so passive!) we’re going public in a way that was unimaginable a decade ago. I know this because I’m a watcher too. When people come to my Website, without ever knowing their names, I can peer over their shoulders, recording what they look at, timing how long they stay on a particular page, following them around Pathfinder’s sprawling offerings. None of this would bother me in the least, I suspect, if a few years ago, my phone, like Marley’s ghost, hadn’t given me a glimpse of the nightmares to come. On Thanksgiving weekend in 1995, someone (presumably a critic of a book my wife and I had just written about computer hackers) forwarded my home telephone number to an out-of-state answering machine, where unsuspecting callers trying to reach me heard a male voice identify himself as me and say some extremely rude things. Then, with typical hacker aplomb, the prankster asked people to leave their messages (which to my surprise many callers, including my mother, did). This went on for several days until my wife and I figured out that something was wrong (“Hey...why hasn’t the phone rung since Wednesday?”) and got our phone service restored. It seemed funny at first, and it gave us a swell story to tell on our book tour. But the interloper who seized our telephone line continued to hit us even after the tour ended. And hit us again and again for the next six months. The phone company seemed powerless. Its security folks moved us to one unlisted number after another, half a dozen times. They put special pin codes in place. They put traces on the line. But the troublemaker kept breaking through. If our hacker had been truly evil and omnipotent as only fictional movie hackers are, there would probably have been even worse ways he could have threatened my privacy. He could have sabotaged my credit rating. He could have eavesdropped on my telephone conversations or siphoned off my e-mail. He could have called in my mortgage, discontinued my health insurance or obliterated my Social Security number. Like Sandra Bullock in the Net, I could have been a digital untouchable, wandering the planet without a connection to the rest of humanity. (Although if I didn’t have to pay back school loans, it might be worth it. Just a thought. ) Still, I remember feeling violated at the time and as powerless as a minnow in a flash flood. Someone was invading my private space—my family’sprivate space—and there was nothing I or the authorities could do. It was as close to a technological epiphany as I have ever been. And as I watched my personal digital hell unfold, it struck me that our privacy—mine and yours—has already disappeared, not in one Big Brotherly blitzkrieg but in Little Brotherly moments, bit by bit. Losing control of your telephone, of course, is the least of it. After all, most of us voluntarily give out our phone number and address when we allow ourselves to be listed in the White Pages. Most of us go a lot further than that. We register our whereabouts whenever we put a bank card in an ATM machine or drive through an E-Z Pass lane on the highway. We submit to being photographed every day—20 times a day on average if you live or work in New York City—by surveillance cameras. We make public our interests and our purchasing habits every time we shop by mail order or visit a commercial Website.1．What information do you learn about the author that establishes him as an authority on this topic?A．He has suffered a lot in losing his privacy.B．He makes his living off of the Web.C．He knows how to monitor his account.D．He and his wife published a book concerning computer hackers.正确答案：B解析：细节题。
