歷年英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀真題全解析(2007-2008)
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
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 spouse, 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 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 crumbs (碎屑) 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 an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent 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 fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收費(fèi)站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro 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 (優(yōu)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.

這篇材料講的是信息時(shí)代的隱私保護(hù)問(wèn)題，大體可以分成兩個(gè)部分，前三段是信息時(shí)代隱私遭到泄露的現(xiàn)狀，后面幾段講的是人們保護(hù)隱私的現(xiàn)實(shí)情況。
段舉出了幾種偷窺隱私的途徑，首先是電子郵件（a stranger will read your e-mail）或網(wǎng)站瀏覽記錄（scan the Websites you’ve visited），然后是信用卡消費(fèi)記錄和手機(jī)話(huà)費(fèi)單（glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills）。
第二段則分析了什么人會(huì)窺視隱私。作者認(rèn)為可能會(huì)是配偶、女友、老板、警察、罪犯等等，范圍之廣確實(shí)會(huì)嚇人一跳，難怪作者會(huì)驚呼21世紀(jì)的信息泄露如同從前被人偷窺裸體。
第三段論述了隱私泄露的普遍程度。如今，人與人之間界限缺失（few boundaries remain），人們會(huì)四處留下數(shù)字信息，從而將個(gè)人隱私泄露出去（make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like）。甚至簡(jiǎn)單的Google搜索都能接觸到個(gè)人的秘密（a simple Google search can reveal what you think）。后作者得出結(jié)論：我們現(xiàn)在生活在一個(gè)很難保住秘密的世界（a world where you simply cannot keep a secret）。
后面的幾段講的是現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中人們保護(hù)的隱私的態(tài)度。兩個(gè)大段分別從“說(shuō)”和“做”兩個(gè)方面進(jìn)行了論述。個(gè)大段指出人們對(duì)隱私泄露是心存憂(yōu)慮的（most say they are concerned about losing it），第二個(gè)大段則列舉人們?cè)谏钪腥绾窝孕胁灰唬蛔⒅仉[私的保護(hù)。
后一段作者向人們提出了告誡——Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it，告訴人們不要等到隱私泄露了再去后悔。
62. A
題目問(wèn)作者說(shuō)the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked是什么意思。
A，人們的私人信息在不知不覺(jué)中被人很容易地了解。
B，在21世紀(jì)，人們嘗試各種方式窺探別人的隱私。
C，在信息時(shí)代，人們傾向于彼此更加坦誠(chéng)。
D，利用高級(jí)技術(shù)，犯罪分子可以很容易被當(dāng)場(chǎng)抓住。
The 21st century equivalent of being caught naked這句話(huà)的字面意思是“相當(dāng)于21世紀(jì)被人看到裸體”，結(jié)合上下文，可知是形容在21世紀(jì)個(gè)人信息很容易被人看到，隱私被人窺視，和過(guò)去被人看到裸體一樣。A的說(shuō)法與此一致。
B的說(shuō)法和A有一定相似之處，不過(guò)B使用的主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，強(qiáng)調(diào)有人窺探別人隱私的行為本身，而原文是強(qiáng)調(diào)隱私“被”人看到，突出后果，B并不準(zhǔn)確。C和文意相去甚遠(yuǎn)，而D是對(duì)be caught naked詞組的錯(cuò)誤理解。
63. C
題目問(wèn)心理學(xué)家會(huì)對(duì)朋友之間的關(guān)系做出什么建議。
A，朋友應(yīng)該向彼此敞開(kāi)心懷。
B，朋友應(yīng)該永遠(yuǎn)衷心于對(duì)方。
C，在朋友之間也應(yīng)保持一定距離。
D，朋友之間少些爭(zhēng)吵。
題目中的關(guān)鍵信息是“心理學(xué)家”和“朋友”，文中第三段開(kāi)頭就提到了心理學(xué)家和朋友、家庭、愛(ài)人等等，可以判斷答案就在此處。心理學(xué)家的建議一共有兩句話(huà)，分別由兩個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句引導(dǎo)。首先是boundaries are healthy，直譯為界限是健康的?！敖缦蕖睉?yīng)該是指人與人之間關(guān)系的界限，等同于C所說(shuō)的一定的距離。Healthy一詞是對(duì)人與人之間保持一定距離的肯定。
其次是it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times，這里表達(dá)了向朋友、家人、愛(ài)人開(kāi)放自我的重要性，應(yīng)該等同于A所說(shuō)的向彼此敞開(kāi)心懷，但要注意句尾的兩個(gè)狀語(yǔ)對(duì)“敞開(kāi)心懷”的方式進(jìn)行了限制。In stages等于bit by bit，意思是“分階段地、一步一步地”，而at appropriate times指在合適的時(shí)候才向?qū)Ψ匠ㄩ_(kāi)心懷。整體觀(guān)察第二個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句，important實(shí)際上強(qiáng)調(diào)的是兩個(gè)狀語(yǔ)，也就是在in stages和at appropriate times的前提下向朋友敞開(kāi)心扉是重要的，而不是敞開(kāi)心扉本身。
由此看來(lái)，C的說(shuō)法更為準(zhǔn)確，而A并不是作者的本來(lái)意圖。B和D在兩個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句中都沒(méi)有提到，可以排除。
64. B
題目問(wèn)為什么作者會(huì)說(shuō)we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret。
A，現(xiàn)代社會(huì)已經(jīng)終發(fā)展成為開(kāi)放社會(huì)。
B，人們?cè)谑褂矛F(xiàn)代技術(shù)的時(shí)候會(huì)四處留下痕跡。
C，總會(huì)有人對(duì)別人的事情感興趣。
D，許多搜索引擎靠泄露人們的身份而獲利。
這是一道句子理解題，觀(guān)察發(fā)現(xiàn)這句話(huà)是對(duì)前文的總結(jié)，具體地說(shuō)，是對(duì)63題所考查的心理學(xué)家言論之后內(nèi)容的總結(jié)。
第三段句話(huà)剛剛對(duì)朋友、愛(ài)人之間保持一定距離作出正面肯定，第二句話(huà)?cǎi)R上就提出了反駁，few boundaries remain——界限幾乎已經(jīng)不復(fù)存在。The digital bread crumbs you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like，作者在這里使用了一個(gè)比喻，把數(shù)字化操作留下的記錄比喻為數(shù)字面包屑。本句大意是數(shù)字化操作留下的記錄可以讓陌生人很容易地知道你是誰(shuí)、你在哪里、你喜歡什么。此后的一句以搜索引擎為例進(jìn)行了說(shuō)明。
A的說(shuō)法非?？辗?，也很武斷，第三段的內(nèi)容僅僅是人們進(jìn)行電腦等操作會(huì)泄露信息，把這種個(gè)別現(xiàn)象上升為社會(huì)變革顯然不合適，也不是作者的意圖。
B的說(shuō)法符合文意，modern technology應(yīng)該就是指文中的digital bread和Google。
C的說(shuō)法來(lái)源于for strangers to reconstruct who you are這一句，這句話(huà)透露出的信息僅僅是陌生人獲得個(gè)人隱私更加容易，至于是否總會(huì)有人對(duì)別人的事情感興趣則沒(méi)有提到。
D的說(shuō)法照應(yīng)文中有關(guān)Google的內(nèi)容，但文中沒(méi)有提到搜索引擎獲利問(wèn)題，可以排除D。
65. D
題目問(wèn)對(duì)于隱私保護(hù)，大多數(shù)美國(guó)人是如何做的。
A，他們改變了可能會(huì)泄露他們身份的行為。
B，他們使用不同的忠誠(chéng)卡（顧客積分卡）來(lái)做商業(yè)交易。
C，他們?cè)絹?lái)越依賴(lài)于電子設(shè)備。
D，他們只說(shuō)不做。
文章中間部分有一個(gè)小段：For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no”，對(duì)于許多美國(guó)人來(lái)說(shuō)，答案顯然是不。這里指的是許多美國(guó)人并不在乎隱私被泄露。此后的兩段對(duì)此進(jìn)行了解釋。
兩段中的段講的是美國(guó)人口頭上的說(shuō)法：most say they are concerned about losing it，多數(shù)人表示擔(dān)憂(yōu)隱私泄露。第二段則暴露了美國(guó)人的實(shí)際行動(dòng)：Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy，只有一小部分美國(guó)人為保護(hù)隱私而改變了自己的行為。反過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō)，大部分美國(guó)人并沒(méi)有改變什么。這是典型的言行不一，正如這一點(diǎn)開(kāi)頭的一句話(huà)所說(shuō)：people say one thing and do another——這正好和D的說(shuō)法一致。
66. D
題目問(wèn)根據(jù)這篇材料，隱私在什么地方與健康相似。
A，人們會(huì)想盡一切辦法保護(hù)隱私。
B，其重要性很少被人理解。
C，它是種很容易失去的東西。
D，人們?cè)谑ニ臅r(shí)候才珍惜它。
題目中的關(guān)鍵信息是health，在文章末尾部分尋找health一詞，發(fā)現(xiàn)它出現(xiàn)后一段中，可以判斷這后一題考查的是文章末尾部分，而不是全篇內(nèi)容。
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——直譯為：“隱私是有關(guān)系的，至少是某些時(shí)候。它就像健康，在你擁有它時(shí)，你注意不到它。只有當(dāng)它離你而去時(shí)你才想要是更注意地保護(hù)過(guò)它就好了?！边@段話(huà)無(wú)論從句法結(jié)構(gòu)還是詞匯難度上都很容易，也沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)體現(xiàn)獨(dú)特英語(yǔ)思維的比喻等修辭，所以理解起來(lái)較為輕松，是一道送分題。D的說(shuō)法完全切合后一段的說(shuō)法，是正確的。

題目中的關(guān)鍵信息是health，在文章末尾部分尋找health一詞，發(fā)現(xiàn)它出現(xiàn)后一段中，可以判斷這后一題考查的是文章末尾部分，而不是全篇內(nèi)容。
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——直譯為：“隱私是有關(guān)系的，至少是某些時(shí)候。它就像健康，在你擁有它時(shí)，你注意不到它。只有當(dāng)它離你而去時(shí)你才想要是更注意地保護(hù)過(guò)它就好了?！边@段話(huà)無(wú)論從句法結(jié)構(gòu)還是詞匯難度上都很容易，也沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)體現(xiàn)獨(dú)特英語(yǔ)思維的比喻等修辭，所以理解起來(lái)較為輕松，是一道送分題。D的說(shuō)法完全切合后一段的說(shuō)法，是正確的。
