第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
People often feel anonymous (
匿名
) on the Internet. They believe their browsing behaviors and what
21．（6分）
they buy or write can be private as they want. In fact, that’s far from true, a new study finds.
Websites usually offer a statement that describes what they may or may not do with data about a user’s activities.
You might be attracted to read through that entire document. But be prepared for disappointment. These documents
tend to list only a small part of the websites which are allowed to have access to your data. Therefore, it’s impossible for
users to make informed judgments about how private their online activities are.
The new research explored the disclosure on data-sharing by 200, 000 websites. These included the Arkansas state
government homepage and the Country Music site. The study analyzed how these sites shared data with third parties.
Such recipients of your data could be advertisers or companies that make money by selling personal data. The study
also examined how those sites had described their policy for protecting the data privacy.
Timothy Libert, who works at Oxford University, studies data privacy. For this analysis, he used a software tool
called webXray. It tracked 1.8 million data shared by each of those websites with third-party data collectors. Only
14.8% of those data went to third parties that were named in the sites privacy policies.
Data that were transferred to widely familiar third parties—Google, Facebook and Twitter—were more likely to be
leaked than those were transferred to unknown parties. Libert found that 38.3% of data sent to Google had been leaked.
Even if a website listed all of the third parties it shared your data with, users still might never learn how widely
their data had been shared. Why? Third parties that receive data can later share those data again. Think of your data
now being transmitted to anonymous fourth and fifth parties. Getting online is “sort of like throwing beans in the air,”
Libert concludes. “There’s no way to know where your data end up.”
1

D

Money.

Advertisement.

22．（8分）
When she won the first ever season of American Idol 11 years ago, critics believed she had little
chance of staying on top. Too “girl next door”, they said. Not stylish enough. Not thin enough, either.
But Kelly Clarkson, 31, has proven them all wrong with her string of worldwide hits, from
Because of You
to the
recent
Catch My Breath
.
Being the first Idol winner in the US was not easy. In the past decade since that victory, Clakson has had to deal
with the media’s scrutiny of her weight and personal style. “Everyone’s like, ‘You’re a pop star. You should be smaller’.”
Clarkson told People Magazine. “But I’m the pop star. I’ll make the rules.”
Since middle school, Clarkson has been aware of the power of her voice. She first joined the school choir (
合唱队
)
at age 13 when a teacher heard her singing in the hallway and demanded that she join. “Singing gave me confidence,”
Clarkson told the Orange County Register, a newspaper in California. “Friends at school were nervous because they
didn’t know what they wanted to do with the rest of their lives, but I had a peaceful feeling inside, because I knew. ”
Despite her enormous publicity, Clarkson has remained true to her down-to-earth personality. “The reason some
winners fade away is that they’re trying to model themselves on somebody else. If we already have the original, why
would we need a copy? You need to be offering something new, something that’s uniquely you, ”she told the Daily Mail.
Around her rib cage (
胸腔
) is her new tattoo (
纹身
), indicating how strong she has become from all that she’s been
through. It reads: “What doesn’t kill you.”

By giving some worldwide concerts.

By publishing some very famous songs.
3
、
What does the under lined word in paragraph 3 mean?

Tough inspection.

Today we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We
23．（8分）
often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are
pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!
But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly.
When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly
becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be
visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the
match.
Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (
线圈
) that is wound tightly. When
the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might
even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.
There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young.
However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this
expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who
decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After all, he’s no
spring chicken.”
But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Let’s say your boss shows you a picture
of his wife, and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.
1
、

4
、
What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A
．

C
．

D
．
Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.
The recent high-profile movie Crazy Rich Asians shows a side of Singapore that most people-not even
24．（8分）
Singaporeans — don’t get to see. While the story is largely set in Singapore, filming took place both in the city state and
neighbouring Malaysia. Attractions such as Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands and Malaysia’s heritage Cheong Fatt Sze
Mansion appeal to people.
Crazy Rich Asians
is by no means the only movie to be filmed in these areas. Here are five international films that
you may not have known were set or filmed in Singapore or Malaysia.
1.
EQUALS
(2015)
In this sci-fi romance, Singapore serves as the location of an apocalyptic (
世界末日的
) society. Viewers can catch
glimpses of the Marina Barrage, Singapore Botanic Gardens, and the spectacular Henderson Waves at Southern Ridges
bridge.
2.
ROGUE TRADER
(1999)
Based on the true story of British investment broker Nick Leeson, it is about how he lost $2.2 billion through risky
trades in Singapore and brought down Barings, Britain’s oldest merchant bank. Leeson wrote the book that the film is
based on while serving a prison sentence. The movie has scenes of Rales Hotel and the Central Business District.
3.
SAINT JACK
(1979)
This controversial adaptation of Paul Theroux’s novel was groundbreaking in that it was the first Hollywood movie
to be filmed entirely on location in Singapore — without government approval, though.
4.
LUST, CAUTION
(2007)
Directed by Oscar-winner Ang Lee, this spy thriller, set in Hong Kong and Shanghai during the 1930s and 1940s, is
about a group of students who plan to assassinate (
刺杀
) an intelligence chief. Locations in Ipoh and Penang in Malaysia
were used for this time period due to their prewar architecture.
5.
ENTRAPMENT
(1999)
This thriller shows Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas Twin Towers several times. However, the then Malaysian Prime
Minister was reportedly displeased that the film showed the great landmark next to small dirty houses — in reality, they
are surrounded by large, luxurious gardens.
