Question

  The Internet company Google is testing its newest high-tech device,Google Glass. The company describes the glasses as wearable computers that would change the way people view others and the world.

  The glasses have a tiny video screen and a camera that connect wirelessly to the Internet through Wi-Fi,a smart phone,or a table computer. You can make and receive calls,send and receive texts,take pictures,record videos or search the Web. You control Google Glass using your voice,and a touch pad on the right arm of the frame.

Professor Marcia Dawkins is among a selected group of people who have been given a chance to test out Google Glass.

  The Professor's Google Glass looks like a bright orange glasses,without the actual glass. But there's a tiny rectangular glass at the top right-hand cor?ner. Through that glass,she has been recording videos while biking. She al?so has been able to talk to her sister inThailand, and she plans to use the de?vice to teach a public speaking class. But not everyone is excited about Google Glass. Some are concerned about possible risks to privacy. John Simpson is the director of the privacy project at Consumer Watchdog.

"It is essentially going to allow people to come in and spy on you and record that,without you knowing what is going on."

  Google says that it has already addressed that concern. Chris Dale,who is the Senior Manager of Communications for Google Glass,explained that in order to start the camera or record a video,the owner must say something out loud.

But film-maker Chris Barrett showed just how easy it is to record people without them knowing it. His glass captured a man getting arrested after a fight. He shared the video on YouTube.

  Also,some are concerned about the use of facial recognition technology on Google Glass. But Google says it will not approve the use of such applica?tions. The Internet company says it is still testing its new device,and it hopes to make Google Glass available to the public by early next year.

1. C细节理解题。根据第二段中的"You control Google Glass using your voice,and a touch pad on the right arm of the frame."可知，用户控制"谷歌眼镜"是通过用户的声音以及镜框右臂上的触摸板。故选C项。

2. A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"Also,some are concerned about the use of facial recognition technology on Google Glass. But... not approve the use of such appli-cations."可知，"谷歌眼镜"不使用面部识别技术。故A 项错误。

3. C推理判断题。根据第五段中的"Some are concerned about possible risks to privacy."以及第六段的内容可知， C项是正确的。根据第五段首句"But not everyone is ex?cited about Google Glass."可知A项不正确;根据倒数第二段可知B项不正确;根据最后一段可知D项不正确。

4. B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的"But film-maker Chris Barrett showed just how easy it is to record people without them knowing it."可知B项正确。

5. B主旨大意题。根据第五段中的"Some are concerned about possible risks to privacy."可知，该篇文章主要介绍的是"谷歌眼镜"引起了人们对私人信息透露的关注。故选B项。
