There key issues have arisen in the tide of this rapid change: individual privacy, coverage of politics in the media ,and the availability of information.The first issue is privacy New communication and information technologies have enabled many organizations and people to collect, organize, and sell information about other people and organizations, both quickly cheaply. The easy availability of personal information makes banking, education, health care, and sales much more convenient for both consumers and sellers. Credit card and automated teller machine(ATM)systems would be impossible without large databases of information available on demand. Scanners in the supermarket rapidly and accurately record every item that passes over them, making grocery checkouts faster and error free38The negative side to all this shared information is that there is little control over who sees or uses this personal information.39 Credit report errors occur often and can be very damaging to a persons financial situation. Many Americans worry that having so much of their personal information available to so many others may hurt their privacy.The second issue is coverage of politics .Some researchers believe that media news coverage of campaigning has hurt the political process in the United States.40 Other researchers think that the media, especially newspapers and television, have helped educate Americans about the political process, and have made them more critical and careful voters.The penny press ,public education, and public libraries are uniquely American inventions that were meant to ensure that Americans could educate themselves about important issues and events,and so be able to make political decisions.Today,however,most cities have only one newspaper(and therefore no competing points of view in the press); public education is experiencing unprecedented financial difficulties and lack of public confidence ,and governments are cutting library budgets to the minimum41Another concern among researchers studying changes in society is information equitythe growing gap between the information rich(people with easy access to information)and the information poor (people with less access to information).As new technologies and communication services emerge,the service companies would like to find receptive and payingaudiences .42 AT&T provided”universal service at affordable prices”so that most people could afford local telephone service.AIn this climate ,many researchers are concerned that Americans may not have access to reliable information,although some believe that more citizens will turn to the Internet and the World Wide Web as sources of information about key issues.BCompanies maintain huge mailing lists of customers that record not only their names,addresses,and phone numbers,but also major recent purchases,credit ratings,and demographic information(such as sex,age ,income,and educational level)that helps the companies identify target markets for specific products.CMedical records are shared not only by doctors offices and hospitals but are regularly made available to insurance companies as well Auto insurance companies obtain information about traffic violations from state and local police departments.DNewspaper circulation has declined,and magazine and book prices have increased sharply.Online services(Internet service providers)charge customers by the hour to connect to their networks.ENewspapers,radio,and television were for many years the major sources of day to-day information,and they were very inexpensive for the audience.Broadcast signals could be received free of charge,and daily newspapers supported themselves mainly with advertising so that per copy prices stayed low.FThey cite the declining rates of voter participation and negative public opinions about politics and politicians as evidence that despite the coverage,Americans know less about politics,and therefore are more subject to political control than ever before.PartC43.Read the following text and summarize it in Chinese.You should write approximately200characters.(20points)British government today unveiled plans for strengthening the regulation of home education,forcing families who choose not to send their children to school to register annually with their local authorities, submit learning plans and undergo regular inspections.If they fail the inspections they could be made to send their children to school.The plans,contained in an independent report which was immediately backed by ministers,were ordered to address concerns that home education has been used as a cover for child abuse Graham Badman,the child protection expert who led the review,said they had found strong evidence that child protection concerns are more common among home-educating families,and that there could be as 80000children whose parents have kept them out of schooling.Under the plans,parents will by law have to register their child once a year with their local council,and provide a statement of what and how they intend to teach their children over the coming year An inspector from the local authorities-a headteacher,social worker or child psychologist-will visit the family once a year to assess whether the education promised by the parents is being delivered.The law will also be changed to give the local authority the right to enter the familys home and talk to the child without a parent being present Parents will be given two weeksnotice of a visit from the local authority.Badman said that there needed to be a further review to determine the minimum standards of education that parents should provide,but added:“Atthe age of eight they should be reasonably independent learners,competent in handing numbers.”The report also recommends that local authorities provide more support to families who are home edncating,including extending some forms of flexible schooling that would allow their children to take part in some lessons at school,use school libraries or music lessons.Local authorities would refuse registration,if there are concerns about the safety of the child ,but could also take court action to force a child to attend school if the parents were failing to meet the promises made in their annual statements.Local authorities currently have 20000children registered as being home-educated but the number could be much higher as children who have never been to school have not been required to register.The review states that the real number of home-educated children could be closer to 80000.The report found that children who are home-educated are more likely to be known to the local childrens social care system.Is also examined a small number of serious case reviews,ordered in more extreme cases of child abuse ,where the children had been home-educated.“The consideration of these reviewssuggests that those engaged in the support and monitoring of home education should be alert to the possible additional risk to children.”John Dunford,general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders,said:“A good academic foundation is important,but children also need to learn how to build relationships,mange conflict and work well with people with different views and backgrounds.Children who are home-educated inevitably have less of an opportunity to develop these skills,even if they are involved in after-class activities.“In some situations,where a child has special needs or health issues,home schooling may be the best choice.For the vast majority of children,being in a school with their classmates gives them the best opportunity to develop into well-rorunded adults.”Section II WritingPart A44.Translate the following text into English.(10points)绝大多数人的生命潜能有太多未被发现或利用。因环境的逼迫、利益的驱使或自身的懒惰，人们往往过早地定了型，把偶然形成的一条窄缝当成了自己的生命之路，只让极少一部分潜能释放，而大部分却遭到了弃置。Part B45.Write an essay of 150 words in English,which is relevant to the idea conveyed
