I deleted all 1,281 of my coworkers，secondgrade classmates and people who I don't know at all.I shut down my account，completely.I'm 25，and I've been on Facebook since March of 2004，which makes me one of the website's earliest users. At first，I used it obsessively.If I had a free moment，I'd log on to see whether my friends had updated their profiles.I'd sit alone scrolling through these updates and then run into someone at a coffee shop and have nothing to say because I already knew everything about them，and they knew everything about me. In November，I went to my fiveyear high school reunion and was not pleasantly surprised.Lauren became a model，Josh went to law school，Dina was a teacher.I hadn't talked to any of them since graduation，but I knew exactly what they were doing， both now and last week.But lately，I'm overwhelmed(应接不暇)．Facebook opened up to everyone，not just college students，and my coworkers started to join，which meant they now knew what I was doing when I wasn't at work. And as a rule: you can NOT make friends with your coworkers because then they'll ask you the next day.But I thought we were friends.And you are friends but not the kind of friends who tell each other what they do outside of work.So now the people you work with can see what you did last night，and you're constantly worrying what people might say about what you did last night instead of actually doing anything tonight. So I quit.I became a 25yearold Luddite，a person who is strongly against technology development.I've retuned to how the world worked when I was 20，before I knew when my friends and coworkers were counting down the seconds to vacation or wistful(伤 感的) or entering a complicated relationship.I'm hoping life will be a lot simpler now.People will be more mysterious now that I actually have to talk to them to find out their favorite books or hobbies or neurosis(神经症)．I don't know when my college roommate goes to the supermarket，and I think I'm a better person for not knowing.In fact，you could say getting off a social network was the best thing I've done this week. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 【语篇导读】 本文是一篇记叙文。评论员 Melody Cramer 曾是社交网站 Facebook 的忠实追 随者，近日却毅然选择了退出。究竟是什么原因让她做出如此的决定呢？ 1．We learn from the passage that commentator Melody Cramer ______.

I'd been dreaming of an Olympic gold medal since I was eight — but gradually, that dream seemed like a million miles away. On January 2, 2012, while Mom was visiting me in Iowa, I told her, “I don't like gymnastics anymore. I want to try dancing, or become a singer. I can get a job in Virginia. I just want to come home.” Mom's eyes narrowed and her expression turned to stone. “You're breaking my heart, Brie,” she said. “You've been doing gymnastics for ten years, and now you want to quit? Have you lost your mind?” I hadn't lost my mind, but I had lost my fire. It's an entirely different thing to push toward that dream when you feel alone. “I'm not trying to break your heart, Mom,” I said. “I just don't want to do it anymore.” “I know you miss home. But you've signed a contract that says you will represent your country to the best of your ability. You've got a responsibility to your teammates. And now you just want to walk away? I will not let you be dishonorable. If you don't like gymnastics, then at the very least, you will finish the season.” The next afternoon as I dragged myself into Chow's gym, I thought of the efforts Mom had made in order to pay for my training. I thought of my two sisters: Arielle, who gave up ballroom dancing, and Joyelle, who stopped ice skating so that our single mom could afford to keep me in gymnastics. For now, here's what you need to know: Exactly 210 days before I ever attempted my first vault (跳跃) in the London Summer Olympics, my leap of faith came this close to ending in a crash of disaster. 26.

My leap of faith C. My mother D. A quitter 30. Who will be interested in the passage? A. A medical student who will graduate from university. B.

She was the kindest and cleverest of all fairies. However, she was also a very ugly fairy. And no matter how friendly she was to others, it seemed that everyone always believed that the most important thing about a fairy was her beauty. In the fairy country, she was always laughed at. Every time she flew off to help a child or anyone else in trouble, before she could say a word they were already shouting: “Ugly! Get out of here!” Although she was little, her magic was very powerful because she studied very hard in the fairy school. And more than once she had considered using her magic to make herself beautiful. But then she remembered what her mother had always told her: “My dear, you are what you are, so just be yourself. Remember, you are this way for a very special reason.” Then, one day, the witches of the neighboring land invaded the country, putting all the fairies in prison. The ugly fairy was helped by her ugly face, since the witches believed all fairies were beautiful. So no witches thought she was a fairy. That way she was able to follow the witches back to their home. Once there she used her magic to prepare a big party for everyone. The witches got really excited. They sang and drank. While the party was in full swing, the fairy hurried off and set free all the fairies. Then they worked together and succeeded in locking the witches inside the mountain for the next hundred years and more, everyone remembered the great bravery and intelligence of the fairy. From that day on, no one in that land ever saw ugliness as a bad thing, and whenever someone ugly was born, people were filled with joy, knowing that for that new person great things waited ahead. 26.

Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages. 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 on, you 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 think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 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 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 is only the beginning, which is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销) my account. 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. 31. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph? A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users. B. It makes money by putting on advertisements. C. It profits by selling its users’ personal data. D. It provides loads of information to its users. 32. What does the author say about most Facebook users? A. They are reluctant to give up their personal information. B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook. C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website. D. They care very little about their personal information. 33. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage? A. To provide better service to its users. B. To follow the Federal guidelines. C. To improve its users’ connectivity. D. To expand its scope of business. 34. What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate? A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites. B. Banning the sharing of users’ personal information. C. Formulating regulations for social-networking sites. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 D. Removing ads from all social-networking sites. 35. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account? A. He is dissatisfied with its current service. B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy. C. He doesn’t want his personal data abused. D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes. 【参考答案】31-35 CB ACC B 篇（社交网站） 语篇解读: 文章的主题围绕当下很受欢迎的社交网站 Facebook，揭露其将用户资料出售 给广告商。而大多数用户并未意识到这一点，因为他们并没有意识到个人资料的重要性。作 者的态度和立场非常鲜明，并表示考虑注销自己的账户。 31. 细节理解题。根据 Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.通过卖用户的信息来挣钱，故选 C。 32. 细节理解题。根据 Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
