  A

  The flying fox is not a fox at all. It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects (昆虫). Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundred of them occupy (占据) a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.

  Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks (尖叫) for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯冲) down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.

  A. their size. B. their appearance.

  If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

  Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.

  Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.

  They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.

  We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?

  Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.

  24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?(B)

  A. Your life style.

  B. Your life value.

  C. Your trouble in life.

  D. Your life experience.

  25. Why does the author say they are inspired every day?(C)

  A. They possess different kinds of superpowers.

  B. They have got the power to change the world.

  C. Some people around them are making the world better.

  D. There are many powerful people in their life and work.

  26. What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?(B)

  A. Learning more and contributing more to a cause.

  B. Rising above self and acting to help others.

  C. Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.

  D. Trying your best to help the poor.

  27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?(A)

  A. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better.

  B. Much more progress will be made in the near future.

  C. The work on health is the most valuable experience.

  D. People’s efforts have been materially rewarded.

  (C)

  Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.

  The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.

  “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.

  It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.

  Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.

  Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.

  Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.

  The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.

  73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?

  A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.

  B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.

  C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.

  D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.

  74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.( B )

  A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme

  B. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think

  C. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale

  D. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models

  75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.( D)

  A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old

  B. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand

  C. the information they collected could become more valuable in future

  D. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of

  76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.( B )

  A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websites

  B. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemark

  C. take no further action if they can find a kitemark

  D. avoid providing too much personal information

  77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?( C)

  A. Say no to social media?

  B. New security rules in operation?

  C. Accept without reading?

  D. Administration matters!
