第二部分 语法单选(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
1. I jumped with joy the moment I ______ my driver’s license in the mail.
A. receive B. received C. had received D. would receive
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:我一收到邮寄来的驾照,就高兴得跳了起来。the moment引导的时间状语从句,主句主语与从句主语几乎同时发生,且句子都为一般过去时。故选B项。
2. Unless some extra money________, the theatre will be close.
A. was found B. finds
C. is found D. found
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词的时态和语态。句意:除非找到一些额外的钱,否则,剧院就倒闭了。根据主句的将来时态可知,状语从句用一般现在时代替一般将来时,因为find和money之间是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态。故选C。
【点睛】本题考查一般现在时表将来和被动语态。Unless引导条件状语从句。表示让步、相似、比例的从句也必须用一般现在时表将来:You will fail to arrive there in time unless you start earlier. 除非你早点动身,否则你就不能及时赶到那儿。I’ll follow him wherever he goes. 他去哪儿,我就跟着去哪儿。Whatever you say, I won’t pay. 无论你说什么,我都不会付钱。Whether we help him or not, he will fail. 无论我们帮他与否,他都会失败。The more you eat, the fatter you will become. 你吃得越多就会越胖。考生要注意归纳总结。
3. Jim ______ a late night film at home when, right in the middle of a thrilling scene, the television went blank.
A. watched B. had watched
C. was watching D. would be watching
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:Jim深夜在家看电视,当剧情到最惊心动魄的时刻时,电视突然没信号了。根据题干中的when可知所填动词构成固定句型be doing sth.…when…,意思是:当……这时……,表示正在做某事,这时发生了另一件事,由后面句子中… went blank可知用过去进行时,故选C。
【点睛】做动词的时态和语态题的时候,切不可脱离实际运用的语言,一味死记硬背语法规则的条条框框。了解了时态的一些常见规则之后,在具体语境中体会动作发生的时间和状态。过去进行时表示过去某个时间点或某段时间内正在发生的动作。往往和具体的过去时间搭配,也有的是过去式的时间状语从句。
4. You have failed to do what you to and I’m afraid the teacher will blame you.
A. will expect B. will be expected
C. expected D. were expected
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意:你没有成功做你被希望做的,恐怕老师要责怪你了。根据have failed可以判断,“expect”应是发生在“失败”以前,故what引导的宾语从句的时态用一般过去时,又因为expect sb to do,you与expect之间是被动关系,这里用一般过去时的被动语态,be动词用were。故选D。
5. China’s high-speed railways _________ from 9,000 to 25,000 kilometers in the past few years.
A. are growing B. have grown
C. will grow D. had grown
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:在过去的几年里,中国的高速铁路已经从9,000公里增长到25,000公里。该句时间状语为in the past few years。中国高速铁路的增长是从过去一直到现在几年里的情况,故该句应用现在完成时态。B选项正确。
点睛:现在完成时可以表示过去的事情对现在的影响,也可以表示持续到现在的动作或状态,动词一般是延续性的。常见的时间状语有:since + 时间点/从句,for two months,so far,recently,in the past/last few days等。
6. I’m calling about the apartment you _______ the other day. Could you tell me more about it
A. advertised B. had advertised
C. are advertising D. will advertise
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:我现在打电话是咨询你前几天登广告的那所公寓的。你能告诉我有关它的更多的信息吗?根据the other day可知,空格处所在的句子时态是一般过去时,空格处用过去式advertised,故选A。
7. His first novel good reviews since it came out last month.
A. receives B. is receviing C. will receive D. has received
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:他的第一部小说自上个月出版以来,得到了好评。since引导的时间状语从句,主句用现在完成时,从句用一般过去时。选D。

10. A bank is the place ________ they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
A. when B. that
C. where D. there

Gap Year Sailing Programs
A gap year spent sailing will show you more of the world than most people see in their whole lives. So hoist the anchor, throw off the bowlines, catch the following wind, and set sail on a voyage of discovery to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Where to Go
The beauty of a sailing gap year is that you don’t just visit a single place. These unique adventures can take you across oceans and whole regions to experience dozens of countries in a single gap year. Some programs combine several regions including the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, etc. while others stick to just one.
Costs
How much a sailing gap year costs varies greatly depending on the type of program and the length of the voyage. A program lasting a few weeks may cost S$ 5,000 or more. Months long adventures may be as much as $20.000, especially if they involve college credit or other coursework.
Visa
Visa requirements will vary depending on where your voyage takes you. Your program will inform you of which visas you’ll need. Make sure you obtain your visas well in advance.
Housing
Housing will consist of a berth (铺位) aboard your boat. Don’t expect anything fancy. You’ll likely have little more than a bed and a small storage locker in a two-or three-person cabin. Given the limited size of your living space, expect to stay close to your crewmates at all times with little real privacy.
Health & Safety
Living aboard a ship means that you can’t always count on having medical facilities (设施) nearby. You may be asked to provide a note from your doctor confirming that you are in good health before being accepted into your program. Most programs include medical emergency insurance as part of their fees. See what it covers and what it doesn’t when making your decisions.
16. What do the sailing programs provide for participants
A. Journeys by land.
B. Chances to study abroad.
C. Courses of famous universities.
D. Opportunities to travel around the world.
17. What do you have to do before entering for the programs
A. Ask parents for advice. B. Save as much as $ 20,000.
C. Obtain your proper visa. D. Have a medical examination.
18. Which word can best describe the living conditions in the programs

At schools across the United States,students often sit down to cafeteria lunches made from processed foods that are high in fat,sodium,and sugar.But kids at Public School(P.S.)216 in Brooklyn have a different dining experience.Principal Donna Neglia reports that her students love eating flesh fruits and vegetables.
P.S.216 participated in the Edible Schoolyard Project,a nonprofit program founded by Chef Alice Waters in 1995.The program that Waters created helps public schools across the country start on-site gardens and weave principles of healthy eating into the curriculum.Students grow and maintain crops,harvesting the fruits and vegetables for cafeteria meals.
Waters expressed her passion for the principles of the farm-to-table movement.She advised schools to connect with the farmers in their area and change their buying practices when planning meals for students.
Waters has long been inspiring people to care about where their food comes from.In 1993,she put forward the idea of a White House vegetable garden.It was not until 2009 that Michelle Obama started the garden in the backyard of the White House.She and members of the kitchen staff spent hours tending to the garden,often with help from local school children.
“That gave people a sense that she cared about children and cared about where our food comes from,”Waters said,praising the former First Lady’s concern for young people’s health.“We are just building this movement,and it is very exciting.”
“Through the Edible Schoolyard Project,students also learn about the benefits of healthy eating in the classroom.”Neglia said.“P.S.216 is teaching kids about careers in the food industry—such as farming and agriculture,nutrition,food safety,and the restaurant business.”
Similar classes are taking place around the country.So far,the Edible Schoolyard Project has reached more than 1 million students in more than 367 schools.“I'm thinking about the future of the planet,”Waters said.“I'm doing this for our generation.”
19. What’s the purpose of the Edible Schoolyard Project
A. To reduce students’stress.

A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste, A team of Washington State University researchers developed a simple and efficient way to transform polyactic acid (PLA) (聚乳酸), a bio-based plastic used in products such as filament, plastic silverware and food packaging to high-quality resin.
“We found a way to immediately turn this into something that’s stronger and better, and we hope that will provide people with the inspiration to upcycle this stuff instead of just throw it away,” said Yu-Chung Chang, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering and a co-corresponding author on the work. “We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunity.”
Although it’s bio-based, PLA, which is categorized as a number 7 plastic, doesn’t bread down easily. It can float in fresh or salt water for a year without degrading (降解). It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when it’s melted down and re-formed, it doesn’t perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.
“It’s biodegradable and compostable, but once you look into it, it turns out that it can take up to 100 years for it to rot away in a landfill,” Chang said. “In reality, it still creates a lot of pollution. We want to make sure that when we do start producing PLA on the million-tons scale, we will know how to deal with it.”
While the researchers focused on PLA for the study, they hope to apply the work to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (涤纶树脂), which is more common than PLA and has a similar chemical structure and present a bigger waste problem. They have filed a temporary patent and are working further optimize (优化) the process. The researchers ane also looking into other applications for the upcycling method.
23. What can the method help do according to paragraph 1
A. Solve financial crisis.
B. Change waste into wealth.
C. Control plastic production
D. Determine 3D printing skills
24. What does Yu-Chung Chang think of the method
A. Promising B. Unrealistic
C. Imaginable D. Common
25. Which of the following is a feature of number 7 plastics
A. Invaluable to recycle B. Easy to deal with
C. Hard to break down D. Difficult to sort out.
26. What is the text mainly about
A. Applications for an upcycling method.
B. A better method to break down plastic
C. 3D printing with newly found materials
D. A new way to turn plastic into valuable products.
【答案】23. B 24. A 25. C 26. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了华盛顿州立大学的一组研究人员开发了一种简单而有效的方法,将塑料垃圾中的聚乳酸(PLA)转化为高质量的树脂从而转化为用于3D打印的树脂。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste(一种将常见的丢弃塑料转化为用于3D打印的树脂的方法可以更好地利用塑料垃圾)”可知,该方法可以将平时丢弃的塑料垃圾转化为3D打印的树脂,即化废物为财富。故选B。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunity.(我们直接用垃圾做了更坚固的材料。我们相信这将是一个很好的机会。)”可知,Yu-Chung Chang认为这种方法是有前途的。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although it’s bio-based, PLA, which is categorized as a number 7 plastic, doesn’t bread down easily. It can float in fresh or salt water for a year without degrading (降解). It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when it’s melted down and re-formed, it doesn’t perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.(PLA虽然是生物基的,但被归类为7号塑料,不容易被腐蚀。它可以在淡水或盐水中漂浮一年而不降解。它也很少被回收,因为像许多塑料一样,当它被熔化和重新成型时,它的性能不如最初的版本,变得不那么有价值。)”可知,7号塑料很难被降解。故选C。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste(一种将常见丢弃塑料转化为用于3D打印的树脂的方法可以更好地利用塑料垃圾)”以及通读全文可知,文章讲述了华盛顿州立大学的一组研究人员开发了一种简单而有效的方法,将塑料垃圾中的聚乳酸(PLA)转化为高质量从而转化为用于3D打印的树脂,因此文章主要是关于“一种将塑料转化为有价值产品的新方法”,故选D。

The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
27. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls
A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
28. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.
A. aim at victims precisely B. damage databases easily
C. start campaigns rapidly D. spread information widely
29. What does the passage imply
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. Technologies can be double-edged.
C. There are more solutions than problems.
D. Credibility holds the key to development.
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology
【答案】27. D 28. A 29. B 30. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章指出语音操作与自动化技术的出现使得机器人电话可以以假乱真,欺诈现象更加严重,解决这个问题需要电话运营商和消费者共同努力。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.可知,我们认识到了问题的严重性,支持和开发了旨在防止欺诈者通过的工具、应用程序和方法,。不幸的是,我们的努力太少了,也太晚了。在这些“解决方案”被广泛使用的时候,骗子将转移到更巧妙的手段上。由此推知,作者认为这些“解决办法”对于解决问题起不了什么作用,因此作者感到很“失望”。故D选项正确。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number.可知,机器人通话之所以令人头痛,与其说与数量有关,不如说与精确度有关。长达十年的个人信息泄露已经导致了这样一种情况:骗子可以轻易地知道你母亲的名字,甚至更多。有了这些知识,他们就能够开展有针对性的活动来欺骗人们。根据这些可知,利用这种新的技术,欺诈者们可以精确的确定他们行骗的目标。故A选项正确。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.可知,这项语音技术可以产生一个听起来和人类非常相似的声音,它可以和接待员进行交谈,进行预订。由此可知,这项新技术有其好的方面。根据第三段的叙述可知,欺诈者们可以利用这项新技术来进行欺诈行为。由此推知,这项新技术既可以发挥好的作用,也可能为坏人所利用,产生不好的影响,因此可以说它是一把双刃剑。故B选项正确。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段提到:robocalls(机器人电话:自动拨号播放录音信息的推销电话)在未来变得会越来越严重,不仅仅是出现在你的手机屏幕上的电话号码令人怀疑,而且你会质疑听到的声音是否是真的。第二段介绍原因:语音操作与自动化技术的出现使得机器人电话可以以假乱真。第三段介绍了语音操作和自动化技术发展会使得机器人电话产生的问题更加严重。最后两段提出我们该如何应对这些问题。综上,文章第一段点明文章中心:机器人电话问题在未来会变得越来越严重。下文都是围绕这一话题展开的。故C选项适合作标题。

Gap Year Sailing Programs
A gap year spent sailing will show you more of the world than most people see in their whole lives. So hoist the anchor, throw off the bowlines, catch the following wind, and set sail on a voyage of discovery to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Where to Go
The beauty of a sailing gap year is that you don’t just visit a single place. These unique adventures can take you across oceans and whole regions to experience dozens of countries in a single gap year. Some programs combine several regions including the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, etc. while others stick to just one.
Costs
How much a sailing gap year costs varies greatly depending on the type of program and the length of the voyage. A program lasting a few weeks may cost S$ 5,000 or more. Months long adventures may be as much as $20.000, especially if they involve college credit or other coursework.
Visa
Visa requirements will vary depending on where your voyage takes you. Your program will inform you of which visas you’ll need. Make sure you obtain your visas well in advance.
Housing
Housing will consist of a berth (铺位) aboard your boat. Don’t expect anything fancy. You’ll likely have little more than a bed and a small storage locker in a two-or three-person cabin. Given the limited size of your living space, expect to stay close to your crewmates at all times with little real privacy.
Health & Safety
Living aboard a ship means that you can’t always count on having medical facilities (设施) nearby. You may be asked to provide a note from your doctor confirming that you are in good health before being accepted into your program. Most programs include medical emergency insurance as part of their fees. See what it covers and what it doesn’t when making your decisions.
16. What do the sailing programs provide for participants
A. Journeys by land.
B. Chances to study abroad.
C. Courses of famous universities.
D. Opportunities to travel around the world.
17. What do you have to do before entering for the programs
A. Ask parents for advice. B. Save as much as $ 20,000.
C Obtain your proper visa. D. Have a medical examination.
18. Which word can best describe the living conditions in the programs
A. Tough. B. Fancy. C. Noisy. D. Comfortable.
B
At schools across the United States,students often sit down to cafeteria lunches made from processed foods that are high in fat,sodium,and sugar.But kids at Public School(P.S.)216 in Brooklyn have a different dining experience.Principal Donna Neglia reports that her students love eating flesh fruits and vegetables.
P.S.216 participated in the Edible Schoolyard Project,a nonprofit program founded by Chef Alice Waters in 1995.The program that Waters created helps public schools across the country start on-site gardens and weave principles of healthy eating into the curriculum.Students grow and maintain crops,harvesting the fruits and vegetables for cafeteria meals.
Waters expressed her passion for the principles of the farm-to-table movement.She advised schools to connect with the farmers in their area and change their buying practices when planning meals for students.
Waters has long been inspiring people to care about where their food comes from.In 1993,she put forward the idea of a White House vegetable garden.It was not until 2009 that Michelle Obama started the garden in the backyard of the White House.She and members of the kitchen staff spent hours tending to the garden,often with help from local school children.
“That gave people a sense that she cared about children and cared about where our food comes from,”Waters said,praising the former First Lady’s concern for young people’s health.“We are just building this movement,and it is very exciting.”
“Through the Edible Schoolyard Project,students also learn about the benefits of healthy eating in the classroom.”Neglia said.“P.S.216 is teaching kids about careers in the food industry—such as farming and agriculture,nutrition,food safety,and the restaurant business.”
Similar classes are taking place around the country.So far,the Edible Schoolyard Project has reached more than 1 million students in more than 367 schools.“I'm thinking about the future of the planet,”Waters said.“I'm doing this for our generation.”
19. What’s the purpose of the Edible Schoolyard Project
A. To reduce students’stress.
B. To let students eat healthy food.
C. To improve schools’environment.
D. To expect students to experience farming.
20. What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A. The project made Waters famous,
B. Running a garden was too difficult for students.
C. Waters thought highly of what Michelle Obama did.
D. The former First Lady should care about young people.
21. From the text we can infer that___________.
A. P.S.216 belongs to the pioneers in the Edible Schoolyard Project
B. P.S.216 mainly teaches kids about careers in food industry
C. Waters’ project is not well received by me us schools
D. Waters had no difficulty in starting vegetable garden
22. What can be the best title for the text
A. Students should eat healthily B. A famous school—P.S.216
C. Processed foods should be advised D. A chef helps create green schoolyards
C
A method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste, A team of Washington State University researchers developed a simple and efficient way to transform polyactic acid (PLA) (聚乳酸), a bio-based plastic used in products such as filament, plastic silverware and food packaging to high-quality resin.
“We found a way to immediately turn this into something that’s stronger and better, and we hope that will provide people with the inspiration to upcycle this stuff instead of just throw it away,” said Yu-Chung Chang, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering and a co-corresponding author on the work. “We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunity.”
Although it’s bio-based, PLA, which is categorized as a number 7 plastic, doesn’t bread down easily. It can float in fresh or salt water for a year without degrading (降解). It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when it’s melted down and re-formed, it doesn’t perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.
“It’s biodegradable and compostable, but once you look into it, it turns out that it can take up to 100 years for it to rot away in a landfill,” Chang said. “In reality, it still creates a lot of pollution. We want to make sure that when we do start producing PLA on the million-tons scale, we will know how to deal with it.”
While the researchers focused on PLA for the study, they hope to apply the work to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (涤纶树脂), which is more common than PLA and has a similar chemical structure and present a bigger waste problem. They have filed a temporary patent and are working further optimize (优化) the process. The researchers ane also looking into other applications for the upcycling method.
23. What can the method help do according to paragraph 1
A. Solve financial crisis.
B. Change waste into wealth.
C. Control plastic production
D. Determine 3D printing skills
24. What does Yu-Chung Chang think of the method
A. Promising B. Unrealistic
C. Imaginable D. Common
25. Which of the following is a feature of number 7 plastics
A. Invaluable to recycle B. Easy to deal with
C. Hard to break down D. Difficult to sort out.
26. What is the text mainly about
A. Applications for an upcycling method.
B. A better method to break down plastic
C. 3D printing with newly found materials
D. A new way to turn plastic into valuable products.
D
The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
27. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls
A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
28. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.
A. aim at victims precisely B. damage databases easily
C. start campaigns rapidly D. spread information widely
29. What does the passage imply
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. Technologies can be double-edged.
C. There are more solutions than problems.
D. Credibility holds the key to development.
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology
