• 2．Recently，many e-commerce platforms，including Didi Taxi，Ctrip，Fliggy，JD and Taobao，have been uncovered that they are cheating their frequent customers.Their ways are pretty clever.When there are new users or conservative old users，they will give a quite appealing price to attract them into registering and buying goods.However，their big data is not friendly to the stable users and frequent visitors.The system always offers them higher price for the same products or service.How does this happen？According to the data analysis，the system knows clearly that although they feel the price is high，they will finally pay the bill.By collecting and analyzing users'profiles，buying habits and other information，big data recommends the same products to different users with different prices.
      Companies also try other ways to make money，making online consumption（消费） far more worrying.For example，video websites always offer 120 seconds'advertisements，which drives people crazy.And even if you pay for the membership to get rid of the ads，you have to“enjoy“15-second“private“ads.By broadcasting them，companies make huge profits-second to the membership fees.Also，owning 100 Mbps network，you still put up with the slow speed when you are downloading a song.You have no choice but to become a VIP when you seek high quality services.Users seem to be lambs（羊羔） among wolves.Even though they say，“Since you have money，I'll charge you more“，we can't do anything about it.
      It pains us that we haven't figured out a way to deal with the problem.The only thing we can do is replacing our iPhones with Android phones if we want to buy a membership card，and applying for new accounts if we want cheaper hotels.Not finding a way to fight back，we can't do anything but accept them passively.
  
  （1）How does big data serve companies according to the text？

  
  A.By being kind to all users.
  B.By giving a discount to stable users.
  C.By attracting new users by analyzing their shopping habits.
  D.By recommending the same products with higher prices to regular users.
  （2）What do we know from the second paragraph？

  
  A.Membership can rid you of all the ads.
  B.Only by being a VIP can you get a better service.
  C.The slow download speed is due to your poor network.
  D.Advertising income is the biggest income for video websites.
  （3）What is the author's attitude towards the chances of finding a way to fight back？

  
  A.Uncertain.
  B.Casual.
  C.Negative.
  D.Positive
  （4）What is the main idea of the text？

  
  A.The big data provides helpful information to users.
  B.We have to accept online consumption as it is.
  C.There exist many online consumption traps.
  D.Regular customers are richer.

• 3．In so many ways，cyberspace mirrors the real world.People ask for information，play games，and share hobby tips.Others buy and sell products.Still others look for friendship，or even love.
      Some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.They're looking for serious love relationships.Is cyberspace a good place to find love？That answer depends on whom you ask.Some of these relationships actually succeed.Others end in tears.
      Unlike the real world，however，your knowledge about a person is limited to（限于） words on a computer screen.Identity（身份） and appearance mean very little in cyberspace.Rather，a person's thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really counts.So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
      Usually，this“faceless“communication doesn't create problems.Identity doesn't really matter when you're in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies.In fact，this focus on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation.Where else can so many people come together to chat？
      Supporters of online relationships say that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first.Personal appearance doesn't get in the way.
      But critics（批评者） of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace.Why？Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them.Internet users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give.And they don't have to worry about what their“nonverbal（不用语言表达的）“communication is doing for their image.In a sense，they're not really themselves.All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace.But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship.With so many unknowns，it's easy to let one's imagination“fill in the blanks“.This surely leads to disappointment when couples meet in person.How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.
      So，before looking for love in cyberspace，remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll，“Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen.“
  
  （1）Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the critics？

  
  A.Nobody can truly know another person in cyberspace.
  B.Internet users can choose their words to create any image they want to give.
  C.The Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are.
  D.In a sense，Internet users are not really themselves.
  （2）Even the shyest person can become a chat-room star because what really counts is a person's

  .
  A.nonverbal communication
  B.identity shown in the chat
  C.knowledge and appearance
  D.thoughts typed on the screen
  （3）The underlined word“This“（Paragraph 6）refers to

  .
  A.having exciting conversations online
  B.forming personal relationship in cyberspace
  C.imagining online friends with so many unknowns
  D.knowing a person in a love relationship
  （4）What is the writer's attitude towards finding love in cyberspace？

  
  A.Interested.
  B.Not interested.
  C.Positive.
  D.Negative.
