閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

　　It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble．That's more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty．

　　“I was on the way to a personal－inj ury accident in West Nashville．As I got onto Highway 40，blue lights and sirens(警笛)going，I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway．The driver somehow flustered at the sight of me．He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder．”

　　But Hyde couldn't go after him．Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders，so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident．But he did try to keep the Fi rebird in sight as he drove，hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car．As it．turned out，keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult．Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene．

　　Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination。At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene．His help wasn't needed．Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird，who by this time had developed something new to panic about．

　　“Just about that time，”Hyde says，“I saw fire coming out from under that car，with blue smoke and oil going everywhere．He'd blown his engine．Now he had to stop．”

　　“After I arrested him，I asked him why he was running。He told me he didn't have a driver's license．”

　　That accident cost the driver of the Firehird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to mention the charges for driving without a license，attempting to run away, and dangerous driving．

科目：高中英語 來源：2012屆遼寧省盤錦市第二高級中學高三第一次模擬考試英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解


Lawmakers in the United States have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking systems on mobile devices. The action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the Apple iPhone. Some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security.
Allan Friedman, the research director, says, “All wireless companies do some location tracking as part of their networks. This information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there are laws to protect it. Law enforcement(執(zhí)法) agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard before it can access that data. And the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information.
Now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on Apple devices. They said Apple’s newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp information. The information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded (上傳) to any computer that the device is connected to. The researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access to the device or computer.
Allan Friedman says, “This raises additional concerns. There’s the idea that because it’s on my phone and on my computer, rogue applications(惡意程序) that I pay for or that I’m tricked into downloading may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it.”
Apple says it is “not tracking the location of your iPhone”. It is simply keeping a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell phone towers near the user’s location. This information is meant to help the iPhone quickly find its location when needed.
Letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including Apple and Google. The letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems. Allan Friedman calls this an important start to strengthening privacy laws. He says, “There aren’t strong controls over things like location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it. And perhaps the most important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?”
【小題1】Why did American lawmakers investigate the use of location-tracking systems on cell-phones?

A．Because the systems can store users’ information
B．Because many users have suffered loss after using them.
C．Because it is thought to threaten users’ privacy.
D．Because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems.
【小題2】Allan Friedman believes that ________.
A．wireless companies focus on personal privacy.
B．people are forbidden to get access to private data at will
C．phone companies may sell private information secretly
D．customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking
【小題3】What do we know from Paragraph 3?
A．Location tracking information is stored online.
B．Apple’s newest operating systems collect all kinds of information.
C．Location tracking information may be uploaded to any iPhone.
D．Apple’s newest operating systems may reveal the private information of users.
【小題4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Apple denies that it tracks the location of users.
B．The researchers may misunderstand the Apple’s systems.
C．The global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications.
D．The iPhone can quickly find its location by using its user’s information.

Internet access and power outlets available in most cafes in the．developed world might reduce your productivity．

A typical tale from store managers is of customers who buy a single cup of coffee or tea and occupy a four-seat table for eight or more hours．A store full of these people turns the shop into a silence broken only by the tapping of keyboard keys．In others, however, customers use the network briefly, and the turnover is high．

Cafe owners have talked about their discomfort for years．Some cafes founders started turning off Wi-Fi （無線網(wǎng)絡） on the weekends．The experiment led to success, they said．People who otherwise avoided the cafe came in, and the place became crowded on Saturdays and Sundays．In the years since, hundreds of articles have appeared about similar cases in which a coffee shop turns off the signal, and sometimes blocks electrical outlets．

Nick Bilton, the New York Times" Bits blog editor, was banned from reading an electronic book a few days ago．The Actual Cafe in Oakland opened last year with lapton-free weekends．The owner, Sal Bednarz, wrote in an email, "I think it's fascinating that we've allowed technology to enter so much of our lives that it can feel like an affront （冒犯） when someone asks us to step away

from it for a short while．"

Dan Drozdenko, the owner of the Downbeat Cafe in Los Angeles, says, “People come here because we don't offer it．They know they can get their work done and concentrated．"

For tasks that don't require constant monitoring of live date—such as stock management or minding server operations—productivity seems to soar when the constant bright shiny ball of the Internet is nowhere to be seen．

People often leave the house or office to free themselves of conditions that reduce productivity, only to walk into a venue that lets them surf, and otherwise avoid focus．Could the offer of single-tasking and quiet thinking be a selling point when drinking coffee or tea? A moment's relief from the Blackbgerry buzz, the iphone alert, the Android annoyance? Only if one remembers to turn off one's 3G connection, too．

72．What's the disadvantage for a cafe owner if the customers use the Internet long?

       A．It makes the turnover slow and affects the business．

       B．It makes the cafe silent and is bad for its atmosphere．

       C．The owner is disturbed by the tapping of keyboard keys．

       D．It costs a lot to offer Internet access to customers．

73．What happened after Wi-Fi was turned off in the cafe on the weekends?

       A．It added much inconvenience to people

       B．Customers stayed in the cafe longer than before．

       C．The environment in the cafe was improved．

       D．There were more customers in the cafe．

74．What can be inferred from the words of Dan Drozdenko?

       A．If people don't get their work done, they shouldn't go to a coffee shop．

       B．If people go to a coffee shop, they would concentrate more on their work．

       C．If people do their work while surfing the Internet in a coffee shop, they can't concentrate．

       D．If people can't surf the Internet in a coffee shop, they would be unwilling to come,

75．The underlined word "soar" in Paragraph 6 is the closest in meaning to "__"．

       A．exist                                         B．maintain                

       C．rise                                           D．change．
