Question

Of all the websites, one that has attracted attention recently is myspace.com. Most of this attention has come from the media and tells every reason why the website should be shut down. The danger of internet predators(窃掠者) is indeed a tough reality, but shutting down the site is not the answer. If myspace.com were shut down, another site would quickly take its place. Therefore, the right way is to teach teens how to use the site safely and educate them about who may be predators and how to avoid them.

     The key to staying safe on the Internet is to make sure that your profile(个人资料) is secure. The simplest way is to change the privacy setting on your profile to “private”, which protects your information so that only the people on your friend list can view it. Although this is effective, it is not perfect. Predators can find ways to view your profile if they really want to, whether through hacking(非法侵入) in or figuring out their way onto your friend list. Thus, you should never post too much personal information. Some people actually post their home and school addresses, date of birth, and other personal information, often letting predators know exactly where they will be and when. The safest information is your first name and province. Anything more is basically inviting a predator into your life.

     Another big problem is photos. I suggest completely skipping photos and never posting a photo of a friend online without asking permission.

     Most importantly, never, under any circumstances, agree to a real-life meeting with anyone you meet online. No matter how well you think you know this person, there are no guarantees that they have told the truth. But you could feel free to chat with people you meet on the site, but just remember that not everyone is who they say they are. Hopefully, the next time you edit your profile, you’ll be more informed about the dangers of Internet predators and take the steps to defend yourself.

Lastly, do not send money to anyone you meet online. A common scam among Internet criminals is to request to pay for “expensive Internet charges” or “unreasonable Internet cafe fees”. While it is indeed true that many countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and South America do not yet have Internet service readily available in all cities and towns, a sincere friend from one of these countries will be more than happy to pay their own Internet charges. Never, under any circumstances, should you send money to a stranger from another country(or within your own country for that matter) who claims monetary assistance is required to continue their contact with you.

4.B

【解析】

试题分析：网上安全问题是一个现实问题。某个网站一旦出了问题就把它关闭掉，这不是解决问题的办法。因为关了这家就会有另一家取而代之。解决网上安全问题正确的办法是教育青少年如何安全使用网络，教育他们有关识别“谁有可能是网上窃掠者，如何来避免他们的窃掠”。因此本文就“网上安全问题”提出了三点建议。

1.D 推理判断题。根据“Therefore, the right way is to teach teens how to use the site safely and

educate them about who may be predators and how to avoid them.(所以正确的方法是教育青少年如何

安全使用网络，教育他们有关识别“谁有可能是网上窃掠者，如何来避免”)”推断D选项正确(识

别和远离他们)。

2.A推理判断题。根据第四段中“No matter how well you think you know this person, there are

no guarantees that they have told the truth.(不论你在网上对这个人了解的如何好，也不能保证他<们>

告述你的就是实话)”和“but just remember that not everyone is who they say they are. (但是切记不是

人人都会说出他们的真实身份的)”可以推断A项正确(网上遇到的人不是人人都是老实和可以依靠

的)。

3.D词义猜测题。根据上文的“criminals(犯罪)”和下文的“to request to pay for ‘expensive Internet

 charges’or ‘unreasonable Internet cafe fees’(要求你付昂贵的上网费用或不合理的网吧收费)”可以知道

这是“非法的赚钱伎俩”，故D项正确。

4.B主旨大意题。文章第一段就是本文主题句所在段：解决网上安全问题正确的办法是教育青少年如何安全使用网络，教育他们有关识别“谁有可能是网上窃掠者，如何来避免他们的窃掠”。
