Apple and Google have teamed up to launch a mobile phone tool to follow the contacts of people infected with coronavirus (冠状病毒). The technology is a form of contact tracing, a method used to identify people who may have had contact with infected individuals in an attempt to prevent additional spread of disease. If a device user becomes infected with the virus and agrees to share that information, the record could be used to inform other people that the user could have infected.
Major technology companies—including Google and Facebook—have been denounced in recent years for not protecting user privacy. In some cases, companies have been accused of secretly selling user data. In the past, Apple chief Tim Cook has criticized Facebook and Google for putting profits ahead of user privacy.
However, now numerous technology companies and organizations have been seeking to develop tools to help fight COVID-19. Health and government officials have called for such technology to help fight the current crisis.
In announcing the new system, Apple and Google said its developers had built in “strong protections around user privacy.” The companies said the technology would not identify personal information or record user movements. It is designed to only catch data about when users’ phones have been near each other. Data will not be kept on company servers, Apple and Google added. The two companies also said they would “openly publish information” about their work for others to examine.
Pam Dixon is director of the not-for-profit World Privacy Forum. She told The Associated Press that after discussing the new system with a top Apple official, she is convinced that people’s privacy will be protected.
“I think they’ve taken care of some of the really big problems,” she said. Dixon notes that the companies are able to turn of the system when it is no longer needed. The government is not going to have identity information of those testing positive.
28. What can the mentioned mobile phone tool do?
A. Reveal user privacy of those infected.
B. Force users to share personal information.
C. Help control the spread of the virus.
D. Remind users to build up their bodies.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “denounced” in paragraph 2?
A. reported. B. criticized. C. demanded. D. advertised.
30. What do the officials think of the technology?
A. It has good value. B. It doesn’t have wide application.
C. fit is barely necessary. D. It is hardly acceptable.
31. In which section if a newspaper can we read this passage?
A. Ads. B. Movies C. Fashion. D. Technology.
D
Chinese Culture Shown to the World with Love
Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide popularity.
Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via (通过) her channel.
It is the spirit of craftsmanship (技艺) behind her works that makes Li’s video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate.

Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any “analysis” that makes people feel bored.

作文
Dear School Youth League,
I am Li Hua, a senior-two student in our school. Having learned that volunteers are wanted as a series of activities are going to be held in our school to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of The communist Party of China, I am writing to apply for the opportunity to be one of them,
I feel I have the necessary qualifications and experience needed for the volunteers. First and foremost, having a good knowledge of the history of CPC is my biggest advantage. What is equally important is that rich volunteer experiences in the past can promise me to do my utmost to make a contribution to our school on such a significant occasion. Last but not least, outgoing and confident, I am expert at communication, enabling me to deal with different kinds of people, and ensuring my ability to express myself properly in public.
I am sure that I can perfectly live up to your expectations. I will be grateful if you could give me a kind consideration.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
