Minutes later, an ad for Joymode appeared on Michelle’s Facebook news feed. When she told me about it, we both wondered: Does Facebook really listen to our conversations to serve us ads?“I swear I think you guys are listening.” That’s how CBS This Morning host Gayle King put it when she spoke with Adam Mosseri who heads up Instagram, which is owned by Facebook. “Can you help me understand how I can be having a private conversation with someone about something I’m interested in seeing or buying, and an ad for that will pop up on my Instagram feed,”King asked. “I haven’t searched for it. I haven’t talked to anybody about it.”The truth is, Facebook tracks us in ways many of us don’t even realize and is so good at it, we think it’s monitoring our conversations. Instead, it uses complicated demographic and location data to serve up ads. They put all sorts of indirect evidence together, and you’re marketed to as if they’re listening to your conversations. Remember that Facebook can track what you do on other websites and apps that use Facebook plugins, login and apps.Most of us know that every time we like a post, leave a comment and tag a friend, that gives Facebook even more information to serve us ads. Every check-in, every comment is more grist for the mill.There are steps we can take to limit Facebook’s tracking, but face it--if you’re using the Facebook app and interacting with people, Facebook can get most of everything they need. Even if you stop using it, Facebook will still keep tabs on you. Even when we clearly exercise all location controls, Facebook still learns the locations we visit and exploits it for ads.24.What is puzzling Michelle and Gayle?A.Whether Facebook really listens to their conversations.B.Whether they always receive ads from Facebook.C.Whether they can have a private chat on Facebook.D.Whether Facebook provides dependable information.25.What does the underlined phrase “grist for the mill” mean?A.Sincere.B. Useful.C.Simple.D. Convenient.26.How does Facebook target you with ads?A.By listening to your conversations.B. By predicting your favors.C.By collecting a lot of data.D. By reading your text messages.27.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.You won’t be lost with your Facebook.B. Facebook affects a person’s private life.C.You have no secrets on Facebook.D. It’s hard to stop Facebook tracing you.CSchool pupils in England will be grouped into “bubbles” when the new academic year starts in September, with mass activities such as assemblies discouraged under new regulations announced by Education Secretary Gavin Williamson.School were shut down in March, 2020. Currently around 1.6 million of the country’s 9 million school-age children are back in the classroom, but the government says a proper return in September is “critical to our national recovery” and attendance will be compulsory.Social distancing will not be applied in schools, and masks will not be worn, but instead so-called bubbles, based on avoiding contact between individual classes or year groups, will be deployed. This will mean separate start and finish times, and also different times for lunch and playtime.Pupils will be discouraged from using public transport, which could bring many other challenges. Mobile testing units will be sent to schools which have an outbreak, and schools will have testing kits to give parents if required, but if there are two confirmed cases in 14 days, potentially the whole school could be shut down.Geoff Barton, the general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, says, “It will be immediately apparent to anyone reading this guidance that it is enormously challenging to implement. The logistics of keeping apart many different ‘bubbles’of children in a full school, including whole-year groups comprising hundreds of pupils, is incredible.”Meanwhile, before the much-anticipated next stage of easing lockdown in England takes place this weekend, the number of COVID-19 cases has risen in 36 local authorities across England. Easing measures have already had to be delayed in the East Midlands city of Leicester, but now other spikes in infection rate are being reported all across England. The areas with the largest increases are Knowsley and Bolton, both in the North West of the country, and the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. In Knowsley, close to the city of Liverpool, the rate of infection rose from 6 people out of every 100,000 to 20.28.What does Gavin’s “Students’ grouped into bubbles” refer to?A.Setting different time for school activities.B.Asking all students to wear masks at class.C.Keeping social distance among all students.D.Calling on students to take a bus for school.29. A school will possibly be closed again in England when __________.A.two cases of infection are proved in 14 days.B.there is a lack of testing units for pupilsC.the attendance of students isn’t enoughD.the rate of infection rises from 6 people out of every 100,000 to 2030. What’s the attitude of Barton towards Gavin’s measure?A.TolerantB.Doubtful.C.Hopeful.D.Ambiguous31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. England has already abolished the lockdown.B.More reports are about the spread of COVID-19.C.The infection of COVID-19 is increasing in England.D.COVID-19 is more serious in England than other countries.DWhen “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”was first shown to the public last month, a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren't there to throw red paint on fur-coat- wearing film stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in a full-body monkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers: "Thanks for not using real apes (猿)!”The creative team behind “Apes”used motion-capture (动作捕捉) technology tocreate digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor's performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (图像). In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.Yet “Apes”is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately. One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including “Water for Elephants,”“The Hangover Part Ⅱ”and “Zookeeper,”have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven't been treated properly.In some cases, it's not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it's the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.32. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.The cost of making “Apes.”B.The creation of digitalized apes.C.The publicity about “Apes.”D.The performance of real apes.33. What does the underlined phrase “keeping tabs on”in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Listing completely.B.Directing professionally.C.Promoting successfullyD.Watching carefully.34.What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?A.They may be badly treated.B.They should take further training.C.They could be traded illegallyD.They would lose popularity.35. Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard?A.To see famous film stars.B.To oppose wearing fur coats.C.To raise money for animal protection.D.To express thanks to some filmmakers.第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
