One of the most widely used location services is Google Maps. When someone uses Google Maps, information about times and locations is recorded and stored.Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example, are designed to identify a users location to provide local weather information. Even some Google Internet searches can result in the collection of information about exactly where a person was when the search was made.Google says it collects the data to improve users localized experiences. But such practices have also raised privacy concerns. Privacy activists have called on Google and other major technology companies to make it easier for users to turn off location services if they do not want to be tracked. In some ways, Google is clear about asking permission to use location information. For instance, Google Maps will seek approval from a user to give the app access to locations. If a user agrees to let Google collect location information over time, Google Maps will show this history in a “timeline” that shows the persons daily movements.Google also has a “Location History” setting. The company says any user can turn off Location History at any time. And when Location History is turned off for a users account, it is turned off for all equipment linked to that Google account. But the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.Google states users can stop the saving of all location markers by turning off another setting, however, which is not clearly identified as being connected to location tracking. The setting is called “Web and App Activity”. It stores different kinds of information from Google apps and websites to a users Google account.8. Why does the author mention Weather apps?A. To advise people to stop using them.B. To stress Google services are widely used.C. To prove Google collects users data illegally.D. To show many apps can track a users location.9. What is the voice from the privacy activists?A. Users should use the Internet less.B. Google should stop tracking users.C. Google should respect users privacy.D. Google should turn off location services.10. What does the author indicate in paragraph 4?A. The Location History setting is difficult to find.B. The AP asks Google to remove Location History.C. Turning off Location History can avoid being trackedD. What Google announces is hardly consistent with the fact.11. Which can best summarize the passage?A. Using Google puts you into a dangerous state.B. Google services urgently need to get improved.C. Google still tracks you with Location History off.D. Web and App Activity has endangered peoples life.【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是在关闭位置历史记录的情况下谷歌仍然在跟踪对象。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example, are designed to identify a users location to provide local weather information.“谷歌还在其他服务中使用跟踪工具。例如，天气应用程序被设计用来识别用户的位置，以提供当地的天气信息。”可知，作者提到Weather apps程序是为了显示许多应用程序可以跟踪用户的位置。故选D。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中Privacy activists have called on Google and other major technology companies to make it easier for users to turn off location services if they do not want to be tracked. “隐私维权人士呼吁谷歌和其他主要科技公司，让用户在不想被跟踪的情况下更容易关闭定位服务。”可知，隐私活动人士的声音是“谷歌应该尊重用户的隐私。”故选C。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中when Location History is turned off for a users account, it is turned off for all equipment linked to that Google account. But the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.“当用户帐户的位置历史记录被关闭时，所有连接到该谷歌帐户的设备都将被关闭。但美联社发现这似乎不是真的，发现谷歌继续保存位置历史，即使用户关闭了位置历史。”可知，谷歌所宣布的与事实并不相符。故选D。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段中the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.“美联社发现这似乎不是真的，发现谷歌继续保存位置历史，即使用户已经关闭了位置历史。”可知，本文讲述的是谷歌仍然在关闭位置历史记录的情况下跟踪您。故选C。【点睛】抓住文章主线和关键词语，归纳文章中心要注意不是所有的段落都有主题句，有时主题句暗含在句中。阅读这样的文章，就需要自己根据文章的细节来分析，概括出段落的主题，从而推导出文章的主旨。分析的方法是：先弄清该段落主要讲了哪几方面的内容，这些内容在逻辑上有什么联系，然后加以归纳形成主题。本文第4小题，根据倒数第二段中the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.“美联社发现这似乎不是真的，发现谷歌继续保存位置历史，即使用户已经关闭了位置历史。”可知，本文讲述的是谷歌仍然在关闭位置历史记录的情况下跟踪您。故选C。DWhen people find themselves in difficult conflicts, they often turn to mediation(调解). Mediators are advised to listen attentively, avoid favoring the ideas of one party, and make both sides feel at ease. Surprisingly, new research that my colleagues and I conducted suggests that, to effectively help people settle their conflicts, mediators should adopt an hostile (敌对的) attitude rather than a calming one. A hostile mediator, we find, brings better results than a nice one.Why would adding more negativity to an already hostile situation prove beneficial? Consider how parents typically react when they cant get their children to stop quarreling: “I dont care who started it both of you, go to your rooms!” At first sight, a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective. But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows parents, seemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect. Children who were troubling each other just now suddenly become more reasonable due to their unkind parents. In our research, we created situations in which pairs of negotiators were part of a heated conflict. In some cases, the mediator had a “nice” approach calm and polite. In others, he was hostile aggressive and somewhat rude. Across different types of conflicts, we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.The main result of the test is not that hostility pays off. In fact, recent research has documented the social costs of negative behavior. For example, being the target of rude behavior reduces peoples performance on a variety of tasks. Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior. People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior, hostility can pay off in certain situations.12. What can we learn about parents settlement of conflicts in paragraph 2?A. Its calming and wise.B. Its unfriendly but effective.C. Its commonly adopted.D. It harms family relationship.13. How does the author support his viewpoints?A. By presenting facts.B. By making comparison.C. By analyzing causes and effects.D. By giving examples and experimenting.14. Which best describes the authors attitude in the text?A. ConcernedB. DoubtfulC. ObjectiveD. Positive15. What could be the title of the text?A. The Costs of Negative BehaviorB. The Surprising Power of HostilityC. The Benefits of Positive BehaviorD. The Importance of Effective Mediation【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是当人们发现自己陷入困难的冲突时，往往求助于调解。作为调解员要认真听取意见，避免偏袒一方的意见，使双方感到放心。其实即使积极行为有广泛的社会效益，消极行为要付出代价，敌意也能在某些情况下得到消除。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中Across different types of conflicts, we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.“在不同类型冲突中，我们发现谈判者在有敌意的调停者面前比在友好的调停者面前更愿意也更有能力达成协议。”可知，关于父母如何解决冲突，我们可以从第二段中了解到这是不友好的但有效。故选B。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中For example, being the target of rude behavior reduces peoples performance on a variety of tasks. Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior. People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.“例如，成为粗鲁行为的目标会降低人们在各种任务中的表现。其他研究显示积极行为的社会效益。人们更有可能达成交易，成为未来的商业伙伴。”可知，作者通过举例和实验支持他的观点。故选D。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior, hostility can pay off in certain situations.“即使积极行为有广泛的社会效益，消极行为要付出代价，但敌意也能在某些情况下得到回报。”由此可知，作者的态度是“客观的”。故选C。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中Surprisingly, new research that my colleagues and I conducted suggests that, to effectively help people settle their conflicts, mediators should adopt an hostile (敌对的) attitude rather than a calming one. A hostile mediator, we find, brings better results than a nice one.“令人惊讶的是，我和同事进行的一项新研究表明，为了有效地帮助人们解决冲突，调解员应该采取敌对态度，而不是平静的态度。我们发现，一个敌对的调解员比一个好的调解员能带来更好的结果。”可知本文主题是The Surprising Power of Hostility，故选B。【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第3小题，根据最后一段Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior, hostility can pay off in certain situations.“即使积极行为有广泛的社会效益和消极行为的代价，敌意也能在某些情况下得到回报。即使积极行为有广泛的社会效益而消极行为要付出代价，但敌意也能在某些情况下得到回报。”由此可知，作者的态度是“客观的”。故选C。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，选项中有两项为多余。Whether you know it, other people always read your body language for secret information about you. _16_.To begin with, if you want your body language to show youre listening to another person, make eye contact. But limit it. When you give more than 80 percent, the person you are communicating with will feel uncomfortable. _17_. The magic number is 60 percent, or a little more than half. Give them eye contact, and then slightly glance away.Secondly, crossing your arms may mean youre distant, anxious, defensive, or stubborn. But arm crossing has its advantages, too. A study found adults who crossed their arms and then were asked hard math questions were more likely to keep trying to solve them than those who kept their hands on a table. So the next time you meet someone with a tough question and they cross their arms, dont assume youve made them mad. _18_.Making a habit of smiling and laughing during conversations with other people can result in positive outcomes._19_. Evidence shows that smiles and laughter build the immune system, defend the body against illness and disease, attract more friends and extend life. This is part of the reason why being funny or having the ability to make others laugh can be found attractive by so many people._20_? If you sit with your legs crossed, you may feel confident and want to dominate (俯视). When you sit in this position youre opening up your “power zone”. Its a male movement but women are beginning to sit like this more and more.A. Do you like standing with your legs crossedB. They might just be trying to come up with an answerC. Do you have the habit of sitting with your legs crossedD. With your elbows pointing out, you prevent others from getting by youE. Lets find out what your gestures and movements are saying about youF. When smiling at another person, you can increasingly improve relationshipsG Give too little, 40 percent or less, and it can be a sign of trying to cheat them【答案】16. E 17. G18. B 19. F20.
