1．A new survey reviews that more than 60% of websites and apps intended for Canadian children may be collecting personal information and passing it on to a third party．The survey was completed by the Global Privacy Enforcement Network，which reviewed 1，494 websites and apps．
Focusing on trends among Canadian users，the sweep team reviewed 118websites and apps targeted directly at children，as well as 54 that are known to be popular with and used by kids．The team's findings showed that more than 50% of Canadian sites collect personal information from children，including names，addresses，phone numbers and photos，audio or video．In addition，62% of sites admitted they may show that personal information to third parties．An other 62% allowed the user to be redirected to a different site，and only 28% of the sites and apps involved any form of parental control or protection．
A member of the team Tobi Cohen，outlined a few of the sites that did and did not live up to the standards of children's privacy online．She praised both Family．ca and Lego．com for their message boards that did not allow users to post personal information，and noted that santasvillage．ca asked users to provide their full name and email address．Gamezhero．com was also singled out for allowing users to display personal information，including names，age，sex and locations．Pbskids．org，on the other hand，was praised for only offering generic，pre-set avatars（头像） and barring users form uploading personal photos．
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada refused to release a full list of the websites and apps reviewed．When asked what would be done with results，commissioner Daniel Therrien said that companies reviewed in the sweep would be kept informed of the findings．"It's our usual practice after conducting a sweep to write a number of companies to point out the things that we've seen，to sometimes ask that things be changed，and on the whole the companies react positively to these requests．"Therrien added．
In an attempt to help kids better understand why their privacy matters，the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has created a lesson plan for kids in Grade 7and 8that explains the Global Privacy Enforcements Network and has kids conduct privacy reviews of their own．
"We know that companies are not the only ones responsible for the protection of kids'privacy．"Therrien said．"Parents and teachers obviously have a role．We have a role，particularly in the area of increasing awareness of privacy issues among the public．"
Matthew Johnson，director of education at Media Smarts，said that the sweep's results were sadly unsurprising．Media Smarts，an Ottawa-based non-profit digital literacy outfit intended to improve media literacy and empowering the youth to better engage with media，offers age-appropriate tips to parents concerned with keeping their kids sage online．
Johnson explained that in addition to educating themselves on the issue，the best thing parents could do to protect children's privacy online is to educate kids on the importance the function of their personal data．He mentioned an initiative by Media Smarts called Privacy Pirates，an online game that aims to teach kids at the age of seven to nine that all forms of personal information should be protected and added that their personal information has value and they should think twice before giving it out．

66．We can conclude from the data mentioned in Paragraph 2thatD．
A．parents must be to blame for letting out their kids'privacy
B．the time that children spend on he Internet should be limited
C．more children have realized the importance of personal privacy
D．more attention should be paid to the protection of kids'privacy
67．Which of the following websites doesn't require kids to provide personal information？A
A．Family．ca．
B．Gamezhero．com．
C．pbskids．org．
D．santasvillage．ca．
68．What will most of the companies do when receiving a request from the sweep team？D
A．They will help kids better understand why their privacy matters．
B．They will ask the team never to make their website public．
C．They will ask for further information about the research．
D．They will take some measures actively in response．
69．Daniel Therrien seems to stress in Paragraph 6thatB．
A．the team should develop a good relationship with the companies
B．the protection of kid's privacy involves joint efforts from adults
C．the public is unaware if their role in protecting kids'privacy
D．the sweep team's work is worth nothing without parents'help
70．According to Johnson，parents shouldB．
A．guide their kids to play online games
B．get kids to know the value of their privacy

12．最近一段时间，共享单车在城市的大街小巷随处可见，它给人们带来便利的同时，各种问题及不文明现象也随之而来．请你根据所见所闻，说说自己的看法并提出建议，以"Bike Sharing"为题写一篇英语短文．
注意：
1．词数100左右；
2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯．
Nowadays bike sharing is increasingly popular in some cities as it provides an effective solution to the"last mile"problem to schools or to workplaces．It is not only a greener method of transportation but also provides a user-friendly experience．However，the new form has also led to problems such as arbitrary parking，deliberate destruction and theft．
I think the bike-sharing service companies have faced a challenge to improve the offline business management to meet the demand of the users．More importantly，every user has responsibility to obey the rules to make the bike-sharing develop in a more standard way．All in all，I hope the new win-win trend could have a bright future．．
9．Brain-training software may be a waste of time．People who played"mind-boosting"games made the same modest cognitive gains as those who spent a similar amount of time surfing the web．"It didn't really make any difference what people did，"says Adrian Owen of the Medical Research Council Cognition，who tested brain-training software on volunteers recruited through a BBC television program．
Owen and his colleagues asked 11，000 volunteers to take tests to measure their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial（空间的）memory．Participants then spent six weeks playing on one of two computer programs，or just surfing the web for pleasure．In one program，which imitates commercial brain-training software，the volunteers solved simple mathematics problems and puzzles that tested their memories．The other was designed specifically to boost cognitive abilities such as reasoning and planning．
After six weeks，the participants underwent a second round of cognitive tests．Both groups who played the games made modest improvements，yet so did the web surfers．Skills learned via the programs didn't transfer to the cognitive tests，even when they relied on similar abilities，says Owen．For instance，people who played a game in which they had to find a match for a briefly overturned card struggled at a similar test that used stars"hidden"in boxes，"Even when the tests were conceptually quite similar we didn't see any improvement，"says Owen．He concludes that brain-training software only makes people better at the specific tasks they have been practicing．
Yet Klingberg，who founded a cognitive-training firm called Cogmed，is indignant at the conclusion that all brain training is bunk．The participants in Owen's study didn't practice for long enough and there was no quality control over what practice people did，he says．"Asking subjects to sit at home and do tests online，perhaps with the TV on or other distractions around，is likely to result in noisy data，"he says．"This paper does in no way disprove that the brain is plastic or that cognitive functions can be improved by training．"Owen counters that his team's research took place in settings similar to the ones people are likely to practice in．"This is what people are doing．They're sitting at home on their computers doing brain training．"

32．The purpose of Owen recruiting volunteers to do the first round of tests isA．
A．test their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial memory
B．support the BBC television program in his way
C．prove how much information participants can remember
D．detect differences among people in memorizing information
33．From the second round of cognitive tests，Owen concludes thatD．
A．all participants have made much recognizable improvement dramatically
B．participants have developed reasoning ability to solve complicated problems
C．participants can make greater improvement in solving very similar problems
D．participants performed better in certain tasks they have practiced for a long time
34．What's the meaning of"indignant"？C
A．Surprised．
B．Agreeable．
C．Mad．
D．Dishonest．
35．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．There is a debate about whether brain-training software is effective．
B．We should concentrate on brain-training software in our daily life．
C．Brain-training software is useless to most people．
D．It is important to improve reasoning ability and spatial memory．
16．Several recent studies have found that being randomly （随机地） assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood （可能性） of conflict．
Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships．
An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers．Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure．
In a New York Times article，Sam Roakye-the only black student on his freshman year floor-said that"if you're surrounded by whites，you have something to prove．"
Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences．
According to two recent studies，randomly assigned roommates of different race are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out．
An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester．
Grace Kao，a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings．"This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted，and lived，with someone of a different race，"she said．
At Penn，students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing．
"One of the great things about freshman housing is that，with some exceptions，the process throws you together randomly，"said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley．"This is the definition of integration．"
"I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes，"said one Penn resident advisor （RA）．The RA of two years added that while some conflicts"provided more multicultural acceptance and melding （融合），"there were also"jarring cultural confrontations．"
The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race．
Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies，noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studies and explained．

62．What can we learn from some recent studies？D
A．Conflicts between studies of different races are unavoidable．
B．Students of different races are prejudiced against each other．
C．Interracial lodging does more harm than good．
D．Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes．
63．What does Sam Boakye's remark mean？D
A．White students tend to look down upon their black peers．
B．Black students can compete with their white peers academically．
C．lack students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year．
D．Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed．
64．What does the Indians Univerisity study show？A
A．Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out．
B．Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer．
C．Roommates of different races just don't get along．
D．Assigning students'lodging randomly is not a good policy．
65．What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging？A
A．It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study．
B．Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging．
C．Students'racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned．
D．Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems．

9．Once，when I was a teenager，my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus．Finally，there was only one family between us and the ticket counter．
This family made a big impression on me．There were eight children，all probably under the age of twelve．You could tell they didn't have a lot of money．
Their clothes were not expensive，but they were clean．The children were well-behaved，all of them standing in line，two-by-two behind their parents，holding hands．They were excitedly talking about the clowns，elephants，and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice．
One could sense they had never been to the circus before．It promised to be highlight of their young lives．The father and mother were at the head of the pack，standing proud as could be．The mother was holding her husband's hand，looking up at him as if to say，"You are my knight in shining armor．"
He was smiling and responding in pride，looking back at her as if to say，"You got that right．"The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted．He proudly responded，"Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus．"
The ticket lady gave the price．The man's wife let go of his hand，her head dropped，and his lips began to shake．The father leaned a little closer and asked，"How much did you say？"
The ticket lady again quoted the price．The man didn't have enough money．
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus？
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense．So I understand how the kids would feel．I felt sorry for them．

Paragraph 1
Seeing what was going on，my dad put his hand in his pocket，pulled out a﹩20 bill and dropped it on the ground．Then he picked it op and tapped the man on the shoulder and said，"Excuse me，sir，this fell out of your pocket．'The man turned around and saw the money．He knew what was going on，he looked straight into my dad's eyes，took my dad's hand in both of his，squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill，and with his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek，he replied，"Thank you，thank you，sir．This really means a lot to me and my family．"
Paragraph 2
That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets．We didn't go to the circus that night，when I asked dad why he did so，Dad said，"My child，it was a desperate，heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father．Surely he wasn't begging for a handout，but he reminded me of my father，when I was young．"He paused for a while，as if wandering in his memory．"We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others．We didn't go to the circus tonight，but we didn't go without．Now，who wants an ice cream？"．

Memorandum（备忘录）
To：Members of all departments
From：Annette Derringer
Subject：Year-end party
Date：November 26
  This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month's year-end party．As you know，the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club，which we have reserved between 6：00 pm and 10：00 pm on the evening of December 21st.1 have received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance，but if you have not let me know yet，please do so in the next day or two．Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company．
  The manager of Green Vale has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before．Basically，there is enough parking space for only 100 vehicles，so he would like to ask those of you planning to drive to try car pool（拼车）as much as possible．Also，the number of lockers available is small，so guests should try to keep belongings to a，minimum．
Thanks in advance，
Annette

Subject：Year-end party
Date：November 28
Annette，
  I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on December 21st although I do not think I will be able to arrive before 7：30．I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests．I know it is a bit of a last-minute request，but my brother and his wife are planning to visit us at that time，and they would love to see the Green Vale．If it is not a problem，then could you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets？Also，assuming this is OK，we are planning to drive down in a single car to reduce the need for paring and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the ear．I will have a couple of days off before the party，and I will not be in my office December 17th，so could you get back to me before then？
Thanks a lot，
Kyle
