9.Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you've visited.Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact,it's likely some of these things have already happened to you.Who would watch you without your permission?It might be a husband or wife,a girlfriend,a marketing company,a boss,a cop or a criminal.Whoever it is,they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-the 21st century equivalent (相等物) of being caught naked.
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy,that it's important to reveal yourself to friends,family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain.The digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are,where you are and what you like.In some cases,a simple Google search can reveal what you think.Like it or not,increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is:Does that matter?
For many Americans,the answer apparently is"no."
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy,most say they are concerned about losing it.A survey found a serious depression about privacy,with 60percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is"slipping away,and that bothers me."
But people say one thing and do another.Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy.Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements.And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards.Privacy economist Alessanfro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).
But privacy does matter-at least sometimes.It's like health:when you have it,you don't notice it.Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.

55.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A
A.There should be a distance even between friends.
B.Friends should always be faithful to each other.
C.Friends should open their hearts to each other.
D.There should be fewer disagreements between friends.
56.Why does the author say"we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"?A
A.People leave tracks around when using modern technology.
B.Modern society has finally developed into an open society.
C.There are always people who are curious about others'affairs.
D.Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities.
57.What do most Americans do about privacy protection?B
A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.
B.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.
C.They rely more and more on electronic devices.
D.They use various loyalty cards for business deals.
58.According to the passage,privacy is like health becauseA.
A.people don't treasure it until they lose it
B.its importance is rarely understood
C.it is something that can easily be lost
D.people will make every effort to keep it.

分析 这篇材料讲的是信息时代的隐私保护问题,大体可以分成两个部分,前三段是信息时代隐私遭到泄露的现状,后面几段讲的是人们保护隐私的现实情况.

解答 55-58 AABA
55.A.细节理解题.根据题干中关键词psychologist、friend定位到第三段Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy,that it's important to reveal yourself to friends,family and lovers in stages,at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain..心理学家认为与他人保持一定界限是有益的,虽然会向朋友、家人、爱人倾诉,但是有一些事情是有底线和界限的.A.中的distance同义与原文中的boundary,跟本段第二句话 but few boundaries remain 意义一致;故选A
56.A.推理判断题.第三段The digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are,where you are and what you like告诉我们:我们在使用高科技时所留下的点滴信息都会为陌生人了解我们提供线索.例如谷歌搜索引擎就会泄漏我们的想法.因此进一步得出结论:我们正生活在一个连保守秘密都很困难的世界里.故选A.
57.B.细节理解题.根据倒数第二段第一句得知,people say one thing and do another,即言行不一.随后举例说明,美国人为了一点利益而提供个人信息.故选B.
58.A.段末处设题.作者把隐私同健康作比较,当拥有时,不曾注意到它,一旦失去才知其珍贵.A.中cherish同 wish you'd have done more 意义一致;故选A.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

4.About 45% of the people surveyed say their workplace is the hardest place to sell a good idea.The next largest group,21%,say home is.Here Mattson offers 5 ways of outing an idea across so that the right people will listen.
1.Don't take rejection (拒绝) personally."One of the major blocks for people trying to sell a concept is that,if the idea is rejected,they take it as a rejection of them personally-and they stop trying,"Mattson says.(36)E.Most major-league players strike out far more than they hit.Even so,they keep trying.
2.(37)B.Many of us (especially the shy) use email to put our best ideas forward,but that's not nearly as effective as doing it in person or,if necessary,on the phone."You have your voice working for you,and you can be far more responsive(回应) to any questions the other person may have,"Mattson says.
3.Listen 70% of the time,and talk 30%."In the sales world there's a saying:(38)F."Mattson says."Top salespeople don't persuade others.Instead,they listen,which forces you to focus on the other person--what their position is,and why they're responding the way they are."
4.Practice.(39)G.He or she will help you improve.Mattson recommends repeating your idea six times before presenting it to decision-makers."The first one or two times,you'll still be figuring out how you want to put it,"he says."By the sixth time,you're usually speaking with certainty and confidence."
5.Get others to weigh in."Successful selling isn't‘I',it's‘we',"Mattson says."(40)CSo include their suggestions in your idea."Not only will that probably make the idea even better,but you'll still get the credit for having gotten the ball rolling.

D.Talk on the phone in an effective way
