A

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled (摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town. 1. What had happened to the man before?

A. He had been badly treated. B. He had killed someone. C. He had been searched.

D. He had been forbidden to get in touch with anyone.

Kristen Powers grew up on a farm with 30 animals, so it is no surprise that she and her family are pet lovers! Kristen’s father works in the animal hospital and her mother is the founder of petfinder.com. “My dad has taught me the importance of respecting animals in the same kind way I would with humans,” Kristen said.

Facebook is the world’s biggest social networking site. People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.

Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.

The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook— You could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things— your city, your photo, your friends’ names— were set, by default (默认),to be shared with everyone on the Internet.

According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.

Some critics(批评家) think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them in the side of the pages totally, who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?

The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April，Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged(催促) the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social

networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.

I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling（取消） my account. 舒中高一英语 第3页 (共8页) Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay. 8. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?

A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married. B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.

C. It provides loads of personal information to its users. D. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data. 9. What does the author say about most Facebook users?

A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information. B. They care very little about their personal information. C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website. D. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.

10. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage? A. To obey the Federal guidelines. B. To provide better service to its users. C. To improve its users’ connection D. To expand its business.

11. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account? A. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used. B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy. C. He is dissatisfied with its present service. D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

D

Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, but they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.

People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions (排放) vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants(工厂) mostly use fire to make it. Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something—usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated

4

in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.

In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not true. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly (极其) efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat--at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc. A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far—so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.

In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.

12. Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in Paragraph 2? A. be familiar with. B. be curious about. C. fail to understand.

D. show their interest in.

13. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run _________. A. at least 25 miles B. more than 25 miles C. less than 25 miles D. as far as 25 miles

14. In the author’s opinion, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more __________.

A expensive. B. harmful C. efficient

D. environmentally-friendly

15. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. electric cars’ batteries are no longer poisonous in the landfill B. now electric cars are used more than their gasoline-powered cousins C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment D. electric cars are not clean since we get electricity mainly by burning
