She was also one of the first company heads to give workers pension plans. Malala Yousafzai When terrorists began seizing power in her hometown and attacking girls’ schools, Yousafzai gave a speech defending her and all women’s right to an education. She continued to speak out even after her cover was blown and the terrorists issued a death threat. In 2012,a masked gunman boarded the bus and shot her in the head. She survived.

Eventually, she took the brand international.”（她在全国各地销售扫地机，并与主要零售商达成协议，推广比塞尔品牌。最终，她把这个品牌推向了国际市场。）可知，Anna Bissell是一位有奉献精神的女性。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Susan B. Anthony中关键句“She was also a vocal advocate for abolishing slavery and improving workers’ rights, higher education for women, and training standardization and registration for nurses.”（她还积极倡导废除奴隶制、改善工人权利，促进妇女接受高等教育，提升护士标准化培训和注册。）及Malala Yousafzai中关键句“When terrorists began seizing power in her hometown and attacking girls’ schools, Yousafzai gave a speech defending her and all women’s right to an education.She continued to speak out even after her cover was blown and the terrorists issued a death threat.”（当恐怖分子开始在她的家乡夺取政权并袭击女子学校时，Yousafzai发表演讲，捍卫她和所有女性受教育的权利。即使在她的身份被揭露，恐怖分子发出死亡威胁后，她仍继续直言不讳。）可知，Susan B. Anthony和Malala Yousafzai两位女性对于女性教育做出了巨大贡献。故选D项。 Imagine getting ready for bed, brushing your teeth, setting your alarm and then putting a device on your head that allows you to control your dreams. It might sound like something unfeasible, but it’s the real-life promise of a new futuristic-looking headband called Halo, at present in development by US tech company Prophetic. Expected to be released in 2025, Halo aims to allow you to have more lucid dreams (清醒梦). In some cases, you might also exercise a degree of control over what happens in these dreams, perhaps in ways that benefit your waking life, such as solving work problems, practicing guitar and more. Earlier research has shown lucid dreams could be used for real-life benefits. For example, one study carried out by researchers at the University of Bern, Switzerland showed that participants who practised casting coins into a cup in their lucid dreams showed superior performance the next day. The team behind Halo are using technologies like EEG (脑电图) to collect vast amounts of brain data from volunteers experiencing lucid dreams. The idea is to build a detailed map of what’s happening in the brain during different types of lucid dreams. This information will be key for the second main area of investigation, which involves using TUS (delivered via the headband) to control brain activity. TUS, a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can change brain function by using high-frequency sound. “It’s seemingly true that the sound stimulation could contribute to the high-frequency brain activity that’s associated with lucidity,” says Professor Mark Blagrove, a sleep scientist based at Swansea University. “Sound stimulation has been used to cause low-frequency slow waves in slow wave sleep, so the method suggested is believable.” However, TUS is a relatively new approach to brain stimulation and it’s not entirely clear what the long-term results of stimulating your brain with high-frequency sounds might be. Moreover, some sleep scientists believe dreams have basic functions, including processing emotional experiences. By using a device to change the nature of your dreams, maybe you risk interrupting the usual purpose of your dreams. 4. What does the underlined word “unfeasible” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Impossible. B. Significant. C. Logical. D. Meaningless. 5. Why is the study by the University of Bern mentioned? A. To suggest a way to dream a dream. B. To provide a theory for developing Halo. C. To prove the benefits of lucid dreams. D. To indicate the meaning of being awake. 6. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The way in which EEG works. B. The reason for designing Halo. C. The changes brought by Halo. D. The methods used by the team. 7. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Hal o has got widespread recognition. B. There may be some side effects about Halo. C Dreaming doesn’t have any functions. D. Lucid dreams cause emotional experiences. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以帮助你控制做梦的设备。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据连词but可知，“It might sound like something unfeasible(这听起来可能unfeasible)”和下文“it’s the real-life promise of a new futuristic-looking headband called Halo, at present in development by US tech company Prophetic.(这是一款名为Halo的新型未来主义头戴装置的现实承诺，它目前正由美国科技公司Prophetic开发)”之间有转折关系。下文说这是一种可以实现的承诺，由此推知，上文说听起来“不可行的”，构成转折关系。画线词unfeasible与 Impossible意思一致。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Earlier research has shown lucid dreams could be used for real-life benefits. For example, one study carried out by researchers at the University of Bern, Switzerland showed that participants who practised casting coins into a cup in their lucid dreams showed superior performance the next day.(早些时候的研究表明，清晰梦境可以用于现实生活中。例如，瑞士伯尔尼大学的研究人员进行的一项研究表明，在清醒梦中练习向杯子里扔硬币的参与者第二天表现得更出色)”可知，段中提到伯尔尼大学的研究是为了证明段首观点：清晰梦境可以作用于现实生活，能给现实生活带来好处。故选C项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“The team behind Halo are using technologies like EEG (脑电图) to collect vast amounts of brain data from volunteers experiencing lucid dreams. The idea is to build a detailed map of what’s happening in the brain during different types of lucid dreams. This information will be key for the second main area of investigation, which involves using TUS (delivered via the headband) to control brain activity. TUS, a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can change brain function by using high-frequency sound.(Halo背后的团队正在使用脑电图等技术从经历清晰梦境的志愿者那里收集大量的大脑数据。这个想法是建立一个详细的地图，显示大脑在不同类型的清晰梦境中发生了什么。这一信息将是第二个主要研究领域的关键，这涉及到使用TUS(通过头带传递)来控制大脑活动。TUS是一种非侵入性脑刺激技术，可以通过使用高频声音来改变大脑功能)”可知，本段主要介绍了Halo团队使用的研究方法。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, TUS is a relatively new approach to brain stimulation and it’s not entirely clear what the long-term results of stimulating your brain with high-frequency sounds might be.(然而，TUS是一种相对较新的大脑刺激方法，目前还不完全清楚用高频声音刺激大脑的长期结果可能是什么)”和“By using a device to change the nature of your dreams, maybe you risk interrupting the usual purpose of your dreams.(通过使用一种设备来改变你梦的性质，也许你会冒险打断你梦的通常目的)”可知，目前还不清楚TUS可能造成的长期影响，它也许会我们做梦功能。由此推知，Halo头戴装置可能会有一些副作用。故选B项。 In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my hometown and I began devoting my pocket money to acquiring records. I swiftly developed an affection for Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, harboring dreams of performing that music myself. Despite the absence of a piano at home, there was one at my grandmother’s care home, where I learned to play Beethoven by ear, with pigeons cooing and farmers working in the fields. It was truly magical. Entering the Royal Academy of Arts at 16 marked the beginning of my artistic journey. In my 30s, I took another significant step in life — marriage. My wife worked at Elephants World, a reserve dedicated to the care of rescued domestic elephants. These elephants have worked for humans all their life and many are blind or disabled from being treated badly, so I wanted to make the effort to carry something heavy myself. For my 50th birthday, my wife successfully persuaded the manager to allow us to bring a piano into the reserve, bringing music to the elephants’ lives. Initially, when I started playing, it was hard to hear the piano above the sounds of nature and the elephants chewing grass. However, everything changed when a blind elephant ceased eating and tuned into my playing. It struck me that this elephant, trapped in a world of darkness, had a profound love for music. From that moment on, there was no longer any concern about disturbing their peace. We occasionally film these performances, and now, we proudly have nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers. I continue to play for these elephants that run freely in the reserve, despite the constant potential danger. Surprisingly, it’s the moody male elephants who show the most fascination with the music. I firmly believe it has a calming effect. These elephants’ breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. I’ve even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing to Beethoven’s tunes. With their exceptional hearing and the ability to sense vibrations (震动) through their feet, I am convinced that elephants grasp the language of human expression. This serves as a powerful illustration that music serves as a universal language, connecting us all. 8. What motivated the author’s early affection for music? A. Exposure to Beethoven’s music. B. Employment at Elephants World. C. Attendance at the Royal Academy of Arts. D. Piano teaching at his grandma’s care home. 9. What did the author’s 50th birthday celebration symbolize? A. Personal achievements in music. B. A combination of music and care. C. Successful fundraising for the reserve. D. Recognition for the author’s artistic journey. 10. What role did music play in the lives of the elephants in the reserve? A. Emotional recovery. B. Physical exercise. C Financial support. D. Artistic expression. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Save the Mistreated Elephants B. Male Elephants: Moody and Musical C. Play the Piano for Rescued Elephants D. Elephants: Animals of Sharp Hearing 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，介绍了作者是如何爱上音乐，并通过给保护区的大象演奏音乐，帮助它们恢复的故事。这有力地说明了音乐是一种通用语言，将我们所有人与动物联系在了一起。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my hometown and I began devoting my pocket money to acquiring records. I swiftly developed an affection for Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, harboring dreams of performing that music myself.(上世纪70年代，我的家乡出现了一家销售黑胶唱片的新超市，我开始把自己的零花钱花在买唱片上。我很快就喜欢上了贝多芬的《月光奏鸣曲》，梦想着自己演奏这首曲子)”可知，作者在一开始接触了贝多芬的音乐，促使作者对音乐产生了早期的喜爱。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“These elephants have worked for humans all their life and many are blind or disabled from being treated badly, so I wanted to make the effort to carry something heavy myself.For my 50th birthday, my wife successfully persuaded the manager to allow us to bring a piano into the reserve, bringing music to the elephants’ lives.(这些大象一生都在为人类工作，许多大象因为受到恶劣的对待而失明或残疾，所以我想努力自己扛着一些重的东西。在我50岁生日的时候，我的妻子成功地说服了经理，允许我们把一架钢琴带进保护区，把音乐带到大象的生活中)”及第三段“However, everything changed when a blind elephant ceased eating and tuned into my playing. It struck me that this elephant, trapped in a world of darkness, had a profound love for music. From that moment on, there was no longer any concern about disturbing their peace.(然而，当一头失明的大象停止进食，转而听我演奏时，一切都改变了。这只被困在黑暗世界里的大象对音乐有着深厚的热爱，这让我感到震惊。从那一刻起，再也不用担心会扰乱它们的安宁)”可知，作者的50岁生日象征着作者通过音乐来关怀这些大象，即，音乐与关怀的结合。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I firmly believe it has a calming effect. These elephants’ breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. I’ve even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing to Beethoven’s tunes. (我坚信它有镇静作用。当我演奏时，这些大象的呼吸实际上变慢了，这告诉我它们很放松，很开心。我甚至目睹过大象似乎随着贝多芬的曲调起舞)”可知，音乐的演奏对于保护区的大象来说给了它们情感上的恢复。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容尤其最后一段“I continue to play for these elephants that run freely in the reserve, despite the constant potential danger.(我继续为这些在保护区里自由奔跑的大象演奏，尽管有潜在的危险)”及“I firmly believe it has a calming effect. These elephants’ breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. I’ve even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing to Beethoven’s tunes.(我坚信它有镇静作用。当我玩耍时，这些大象的呼吸实际上变慢了，这告诉我它们很放松，很开心。我甚至目睹过大象似乎随着贝多芬的曲调起舞)”可知，本文介绍了作者是如何爱上音乐，并通过给保护区的大象演奏音乐，帮助它们恢复的故事。C选项“为获救的大象弹钢琴”为最佳标题。故选C。 Is Apple the shining knight when it comes to privacy collection, as it wants us to believe? A different business model from Facebook and Google gives it some ground to claim a tighter tower around your data. But that’s not the whole story, and some changes are coming. With the release of the news that nearly 90 million Facebook users’ information was passed on to political ad targeting firm Cambridge Catalytic without their permission, tech companies are defending themselves. Consumers and lawmakers want to know how much their favorite apps have collected of their choices and movements and what they do with this personal information. Apple has made a point of trying to distinguish its approach to consumers’ information. On its website, it notes that it collects less data about us than the other big tech companies and then ensures the security by scrambling it so it doesn’t identify who it comes from. Additionally, it says it keeps most of the data on our devices, as opposed to Apple servers, and that it’s encoded on those devices and only accessible via your pass code. It also promises that it will make it easier to track the information the company collects about us,and to download or delete it, later this year. However, getting the data back form Apple currently is complex and slow. The new tools are to follow new privacy rules, called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which go into effect in the European Union in late May. In brief, the rules look to give the user more controls over how their data is used. Apple insists that it “doesn’t gather your personal information to sell to advertises or other organizations.” Such a statement only goes so far-Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg makes a point by saving Facebook doesn’t sell users’ data to advertisers, either. What the social network sells is advertisers access to users, whose brands can target with all the information it’s gathered from their activity. 12. What makes the major lech companies defend themselves? A. The privacy information leak of Facebook users B. The different business models used by other companies C. The release of the General Data Protection Regulation D. The competition between tech companies for more users 13. What does Apple claim about its approach to user data collection? A. It collects more user data than other companies B. It keeps most of the user dala on Apple servers C. It sells users’ personal information to advertisers D It ensures that the user data is pass word-protected 14. What does the underlined word”scrambling“ in paragraph 4 mean? A. Analyzing carefully. B. Mixing randomly C. Improving quickly. D. Obtaining easily 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Apple’s new privacy rules went into effect recently B. Apple provides safer protection against data theft C. Apple’s data collection system is actually doubtful D. Apple servers are able to track consumers’ choices 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲述虽然苹果公司在处理用户数据方面做出了努力，但是数据安全问题仍然让人担忧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“With the release of the news that nearly 90 million Facebook users’ information was passed on to political ad targeting firm Cambridge Analytic without their permission, tech companies are defending themselves. (随着近9000万脸书用户的信息在未经其许可的情况下被传递给政治广告目标公司剑桥分析公司的消息发布，科技公司正在为自己辩护。)”可知，近期Facebook用户隐私泄露事件的披露促使大型科技公司进行自我辩护。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Apple has made a point of trying to distinguish its approach to consumers’ information. On its website, it notes that it collects less data about us than the other big tech companies and then ensures the security by scrambling it so it doesn’t identify who it comes from. Additionally, it says it keeps most of the data on our devices, as opposed to Apple servers, and that it’s encoded on those devices and only accessible via your pass code. (苹果公司一直在努力区分其处理消费者信息的方式。在其网站上，它指出，与其他大型科技公司相比，它收集的关于我们的数据更少，然后通过对数据进行加密来确保安全，这样它就不会识别数据的来源。此外，它表示，它将大部分数据保存在我们的设备上，而不是苹果服务器上，并且数据在这些设备上编码，只能通过您的密码访问。)”可知，苹果公司声称其处理用户数据的方法与其他大型科技公司不同，它收集的用户数据比其他公司少，将大部分数据存储在用户设备上，而不是在苹果服务器上，并且对这些数据进行加密，只能通过密码访问。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“it collects less data about us than the other big tech companies and then ensures the security by scrambling it so it doesn’t identify who it comes from. (与其他大型科技公司相比，它收集的关于我们的数据更少，然后通过对数据进行scrambling来确保安全，这样它就不会识别数据的来源。)”可知，苹果公司通过scrambling这些数据来混淆它们，使其不能识别数据来源。所以scrambling意味着将数据随机混合，和选项B意思一致。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Is Apple the shining knight when it comes to privacy collection, as it wants us to believe? (在隐私收集方面，苹果是不是像它希望我们相信的那样成为了闪亮的骑士？)”和最后一段“Apple insists that it “doesn’t gather your personal information to sell to advertises or other organizations.” Such a statement only goes so far-Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg makes a point by saving Facebook doesn’t sell users’ data to advertisers. either. What the social network sells is advertisers access to users, whose brands can target with all the information it’s gathered from their activity.(苹果公司坚称，它“不会收集你的个人信息来出售给广告或其他组织。”这样的声明只适用于Facebook首席执行官马克·扎克伯格的观点，即Facebook不会将用户的数据出售给广告商。任何一个社交网络销售的是广告商接触用户的机会，用户的品牌可以利用其从活动中收集的所有信息作为目标。)”可知，文章主要介绍苹果的数据收集系统实际上令人怀疑。故选C。 If you had to choose between spending all your pocket money on games and snacks, or saving some of it for the future, which would you choose? ____16____ When you have the opportunity to treat yourself to your favourite things, it can be really hard to say no. Before you know it, all your money is gone! It’s easy to see the fun in buying an ice-cream or going shopping with friends. ____17____ That’s because saving creates opportunities and opens the door to adventures. Suddenly it doesn’t seem quite so boring when you realise saving money is the key to making your dreams come true. ____18____ It’s good to give yourself a mix of short-term and long-term goals, so think of something you’d like to buy that you could save up for in a few weeks. Write down how much it costs, then work out how much you can afford to save each week and how long it will take you to reach your goal. It’s important to be realistic because you’ll soon get bored if you plan to save every single penny. It helps to keep your savings separate from the rest of your money, so that you don’t accidentally spend it. ____19____ Most people choose to save their money in a savings account, as this gives them an opportunity to earn interest. Some savings accounts allow you to withdraw money whenever you like, but some will keep your money locked away for several years or until you become an adult. If you’re new to saving, start off by thinking of some fun goals. Every penny you save takes you one step closer to reaching your goal. ____20____ A. What could be more exciting than that? B. You could use a money box or a savings account. C. Or, do you prefer to spend it on your favourite novels? D. The key to successful saving is setting yourself a goal. E. With a savings account, you can spend your money freely. F. Think about this as we all have to make such decisions again and again. G.

After becoming the first actor in a wheelchair in Broadway history in 2015, she won the award for her powerhouse performance in the revival of Oklahoma! Susan B. Anthony Susan B. Anthony participated in her first women’s rights conference in 1852. Over the next 54 years, she published The Revolution; gave speeches; called the first Woman Suffrage Convention in Washington, D. C. (1869); and was arrested for voting (1872). She was also a vocal advocate for abolishing slavery and improving workers’ rights, higher education for women, and training standardization and registration for nurses. Anna Bissell In 1889 Anna Bissell became the CEO of the company, making her the first female CEO in America. She traveled around the country selling sweepers and making deals with major retailers to carry the Bissell brand. Eventually, she took the brand international.

Malala Yousafzai When terrorists began seizing power in her hometown and attacking girls’ schools, Yousafzai gave a speech defending her and all women’s right to an education. She continued to speak out even after her cover was blown and the terrorists issued a death threat. In 2012,a masked gunman boarded the bus and shot her in the head. She survived. In 2014, she became the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize. 1. What is Ali Stroker noted for? A. Her efforts to win a prize. B. Her Broadway background. C. Her special art performance. D. Her wheelchair to perform in. 2. Which word can best describe Anna Bissell? A. Doubtful. B. Devoted. C. Stubborn. D. Outgoing. 3. Who made a great contribution to the education for women? A.

Imagine getting ready for bed, brushing your teeth, setting your alarm and then putting a device on your head that allows you to control your dreams. It might sound like something unfeasible, but it’s the real-life promise of a new futuristic-looking headband called Halo, at present in development by US tech company Prophetic. Expected to be released in 2025, Halo aims to allow you to have more lucid dreams (清醒梦). In some cases, you might also exercise a degree of control over what happens in these dreams, perhaps in ways that benefit your waking life, such as solving work problems, practicing guitar and more. Earlier research has shown lucid dreams could be used for real-life benefits. For example, one study carried out by researchers at the University of Bern, Switzerland showed that participants who practised casting coins into a cup in their lucid dreams showed superior performance the next day. The team behind Halo are using technologies like EEG (脑电图) to collect vast amounts of brain data from volunteers experiencing lucid dreams. The idea is to build a detailed map of what’s happening in the brain during different types of lucid dreams. This information will be key for the second main area of investigation, which involves using TUS (delivered via the headband) to control brain activity. TUS, a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can change brain function by using high-frequency sound. “It’s seemingly true that the sound stimulation could contribute to the high-frequency brain activity that’s associated with lucidity,” says Professor Mark Blagrove, a sleep scientist based at Swansea University. “Sound stimulation has been used to cause low-frequency slow waves in slow wave sleep, so the method suggested is believable.” However, TUS is a relatively new approach to brain stimulation and it’s not entirely clear what the long-term results of stimulating your brain with high-frequency sounds might be. Moreover, some sleep scientists believe dreams have basic functions, including processing emotional experiences. By using a device to change the nature of your dreams, maybe you risk interrupting the usual purpose of your dreams. 4. What does the underlined word “unfeasible” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Impossible. B. Significant. C. Logical. D. Meaningless. 5. Why is the study by the University of Bern mentioned? A. To suggest a way to dream a dream. B. To provide a theory for developing Halo. C. To prove the benefits of lucid dreams. D. To indicate the meaning of being awake. 6. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The way in which EEG works. B. The reason for designing Halo. C. The changes brought by Halo. D. The methods used by the team. 7. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Hal o has got widespread recognition. B. There may be some side effects about Halo. C. Dreaming doesn’t have any functions. D. Lucid dreams cause emotional experiences. In the 1970s, a new supermarket selling LPs arrived in my hometown and I began devoting my pocket money to acquiring records. I swiftly developed an affection for Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, harboring dreams of performing that music myself. Despite the absence of a piano at home, there was one at my grandmother’s care home, where I learned to play Beethoven by ear, with pigeons cooing and farmers working in the fields. It was truly magical. Entering the Royal Academy of Arts at 16 marked the beginning of my artistic journey. In my 30s, I took another significant step in life — marriage. My wife worked at Elephants World, a reserve dedicated to the care of rescued domestic elephants. These elephants have worked for humans all their life and many are blind or disabled from being treated badly, so I wanted to make the effort to carry something heavy myself. For my 50th birthday, my wife successfully persuaded the manager to allow us to bring a piano into the reserve, bringing music to the elephants’ lives. Initially, when I started playing, it was hard to hear the piano above the sounds of nature and the elephants chewing grass. However, everything changed when a blind elephant ceased eating and tuned into my playing. It struck me that this elephant, trapped in a world of darkness, had a profound love for music. From that moment on, there was no longer any concern about disturbing their peace. We occasionally film these performances, and now, we proudly have nearly 700,000 YouTube subscribers. I continue to play for these elephants that run freely in the reserve, despite the constant potential danger. Surprisingly, it’s the moody male elephants who show the most fascination with the music. I firmly believe it has a calming effect. These elephants’ breathing actually slows down when I play, which tells me they are relaxed and happy. I’ve even witnessed elephants seemingly dancing to Beethoven’s tunes. With their exceptional hearing and the ability to sense vibrations (震动) through their feet, I am convinced that elephants grasp the language of human expression. This serves as a powerful illustration that music serves as a universal language, connecting us all. 8 What motivated the author’s early affection for music? A. Exposure to Beethoven’s music. B. Employment at Elephants World. C. Attendance at the Royal Academy of Arts. D. Piano teaching at his grandma’s care home. 9. What did the author’s 50th birthday celebration symbolize? A. Personal achievements in music. B. A combination of music and care. C. Successful fundraising for the reserve. D. Recognition for the author’s artistic journey. 10. What role did music play in the lives of the elephants in the reserve? A. Emotional recovery. B. Physical exercise. C. Financial support. D. Artistic expression. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Save the Mistreated Elephants B. Male Elephants: Moody and Musical C. Play the Piano for Rescued Elephants D. Elephants: Animals of Sharp Hearing Is Apple the shining knight when it comes to privacy collection, as it wants us to believe? A different business model from Facebook and Google gives it some ground to claim a tighter tower around your data. But that’s not the whole story, and some changes are coming. With the release of the news that nearly 90 million Facebook users’ information was passed on to political ad targeting firm Cambridge Catalytic without their permission, tech companies are defending themselves. Consumers and lawmakers want to know how much their favorite apps have collected of their choices and movements and what they do with this personal information. Apple has made a point of trying to distinguish its approach to consumers’ information. On its website, it notes that it collects less data about us than the other big tech companies and then ensures the security by scrambling it so it doesn’t identify who it comes from. Additionally, it says it keeps most of the data on our devices, as opposed to Apple servers, and that it’s encoded on those devices and only accessible via your pass code. It also promises that it will make it easier to track the information the company collects about us,and to download or delete it, later this year. However, getting the data back form Apple currently is complex and slow. The new tools are to follow new privacy rules, called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which go into effect in the European Union in late May. In brief, the rules look to give the user more controls over how their data is used. Apple insists that it “doesn’t gather your personal information to sell to advertises or other organizations.” Such a statement only goes so far-Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg makes a point by saving Facebook doesn’t sell users’ data to advertisers, either. What the social network sells is advertisers access to users, whose brands can target with all the information it’s gathered from their activity. 12. What makes the major lech companies defend themselves? A. The privacy information leak of Facebook users B. The different business models used by other companies C. The release of the General Data Protection Regulation D. The competition between tech companies for more users 13. What does Apple claim about its approach to user data collection? A It collects more user data than other companies B. It keeps most of the user dala on Apple servers C. It sells users’ personal information to advertisers D. It ensures that the user data is pass word-protected 14. What does the underlined word”scrambling“ in paragraph 4 mean? A. Analyzing carefully. B. Mixing randomly C. Improving quickly. D. Obtaining easily 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Apple’s new privacy rules went into effect recently B. Apple provides safer protection against data theft C. Apple’s data collection system is actually doubtful D. Apple servers are able to track consumers’ choices If you had to choose between spending all your pocket money on games and snacks, or saving some of it for the future, which would you choose? ____16____ When you have the opportunity to treat yourself to your favourite things, it can be really hard to say no. Before you know it, all your money is gone! It’s easy to see the fun in buying an ice-cream or going shopping with friends. ____17____ That’s because saving creates opportunities and opens the door to adventures. Suddenly it doesn’t seem quite so boring when you realise saving money is the key to making your dreams come true. ____18____ It’s good to give yourself a mix of short-term and long-term goals, so think of something you’d like to buy that you could save up for in a few weeks. Write down how much it costs, then work out how much you can afford to save each week and how long it will take you to reach your goal. It’s important to be realistic because you’ll soon get bored if you plan to save every single penny. It helps to keep your savings separate from the rest of your money, so that you don’t accidentally spend it. ____19____ Most people choose to save their money in a savings account, as this gives them an opportunity to earn interest. Some savings accounts allow you to withdraw money whenever you like, but some will keep your money locked away for several years or until you become an adult. If you’re new to saving, start off by thinking of some fun goals. Every penny you save takes you one step closer to reaching your goal. ____20____ A. What could be more exciting than that? B. You could use a money box or a savings account. C. Or, do you prefer to spend it on your favourite novels? D. The key to successful saving is setting yourself a goal. E. With a savings account, you can spend your money freely. F. Think about this as we all have to make such decisions again and again. G. However, you might be surprised to hear that saving money can be even more exciting. 二、听力选择题 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。 21. Why is the man going to the States? A To visit some places of interest. B.
