2．Americans always attach great weight to the business of the country.President Coolidge's statement， "the business of America is business." Still points to an important truth today—that business institutions have more prestige（威望） in American society than any other kind of organization，including the government.Why do business institutions possess this great prestige？
One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society.Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans，competitive business institutions are respected.Competition is not only good in itself，it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom，equality of opportunity，and hard work are protected.
Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly（壟斷、壟斷者） of power.In contrast to one，all-powerful government，many businesses compete against each other for profits.Theoretically，if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers，it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly.Where many businesses compete for the customers' dollar，they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors（下屬） or slaves.
A contrast is often made between business，which is competitive，and government，which is a monopoly.Because is competitive，many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government，even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not.Many Americans believes，then，that competition is as important，or even more important，than democracy in preserving freedom.
Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity.Competition is seen as an open and fair where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background.Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternation to social rank based on family background.Business is therefore world as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity in America rather than the aristocratic（貴族的） idea of inherited privilege in many other countries
（1）The statement " The business of America is business " probably means "".
A．the business institutions in American are concerned with commerce（商業(yè)）
B．business problems are of great importance to the American government
C．business is of primary concern to Americans
D．America is a great power in world business
（2）Who can benefit from the business competition？
A．Honest businessmen.
B．People with ideas of equality and freedom.
C．Both businessmen and their customers.
D．Both business institutions and government.
（3）It can be concluded from the passage that the author believes.
A．Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries
B．In many countries，success often depends on one's social status
C．American businesses are more democratic（民主的） than those in other countries
D．businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America組卷：8引用：1難度：0.6 -
3．The time a person spends on different smartphone apps is enough to identify them from a larger group in more than one in three cases，say researchers.
Researchers analyzed smartphone data from 780 people.They fed 4，680 days of app usage data into statistical models.Each of these days was paired with one of the 780 users so that the models learned people's daily app use patterns.
The researchers then tested whether models could identify an individual when provided with only a single day of smartphone activity that was anonymous（匿名的）.The models，which were trained on only six days of app usage data per person，could identify the correct person from a day of anonymous data one third of the time.
That might not sound like much，but when the models predict who the data belonged to，it could also provide a list of the most to the least likely candidates.It was possible to view the top 10 most likely individuals that a specific day of data belonged to.Around 75% of the time，the correct user would be among the top 10 most likely candidates.
In practical terms，a law enforcement（執(zhí)行） investigation seeking to identify a criminal's new phone with these models could reduce a candidate pool of approximately 1，000 phones to 10 phones，with a 25% risk of missing them.
Consequently，the researchers warn that software given access to a smartphone's standard activity logging could make a reasonable prediction about a user's identity even when they were logged-out of their account.An identification is possible without monitoring conversations or behaviors within apps themselves.
Therefore，it is important to acknowledge that app usage data alone，which is often collected by a smartphone automatically，can potentially reveal a person's identity.While providing new opportunities for law enforcement，it also poses risks to privacy if this type of data is misused.
（1）What is the purpose of the passage？
A．To explain a phenomenon.
B．To confirm an assumption.
C．To show a research process.
D．To present a research finding.
（2）How did the researchers reach their conclusion？
A．By recording app use time.
B．By studying app usage data.
C．By comparing different apps.
D．By changing app use patterns.
（3）What is the function of the statistical models？
A．Locating criminals.
B．Tracking usage of apps.
C．Identifying phone users.
D．Predicting trends of apps.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards app usage data？
A．Cautious.
B．Favorable.
C．Doubtful.
D．Uninterested.組卷：25引用：5難度：0.4

5．How much exercise does your dog need？
As many dog owners are aware，dogs need regular exercise to stay healthy and to stop them from getting bored.（1）To help dog owners work out how long their pets need to stretch their legs each day，here comes the advice on just how much exercise your dog should be getting，based on the age，size and breed（品種）!
（2）A good rule is that they should enjoy five minutes of a movement twice a day per month of their age.In other words，if your puppy is 12 weeks old，keep walks or play sessions to round 15 minutes each.As it gets older and stronger，the amount of exercise can be increased gradually.Equally，old dogs may struggle to take long walks，but should still be given the opportunity to go outside at least twice daily.
All dogs should be let outside for exercise，but how intense that exercise should be depends，in part，on the size of the dog.（3）In addition to regular play in the house or garden，they should also be taken for walks twice a day and these should last for at least 30 minutes each.Smaller puppies often require less of a workout，so letting them out into the garden for a runaround can be an appropriate form of exercise.
Some breeds，such as border collies，Belgian Malinois and German shepherds，have been bred as " working dogs ".（4）But the key to ensuring that your dog is able to keep up with you，assuming that you have selected an appropriate breed；is consistency.Try to avoid going for a five-minute walk one day and embarking on a five- mile hike the next.（5）
A.Larger breeds need more space to wander.
B.They are suited to cover long distacks.
C.Age is the first factor that should be considered.
D.Only in this way can your dog get suitable amount of exercises.
E.Rather，a steady routine will help your dog be prepared for the next adventure.
F.While puppies are often energetic，it is important not to over exercise young dogs.
G.What they might not know，though，is that the amount of time they need outdoors varies.組卷：8引用：1難度：0.5
