●Ⅳ 阅读理解
Many of you may have used Siri, a voice assistant of US tech company Apple. You only have to say “hey Siri” and it will answer to your command. However, we may be sacrificing our privacy to enjoy this convenience.
According to a recent report by The Guardian, Siri can be accidentally triggered and start recording private conversations, such as discussions between doctors and patients. Some of these recordings are then given to workers outside the company to review. Apple claimed the data was used to help Siri improve, but users were not informed of this measure in the first place. Apple’s Siri is not the only voice assistant to come under fire. In 2018, Alexa, a voice assistant developed by US tech company Amazon, recorded a private conversation between a couple and sent it to a stranger without their permission.
These issues deepened concerns that tech companies are infringing (侵犯) users’ rights of privacy. Many people have long feared that tech companies are listening and collecting data from private conversations, reported Forbes. Using this data, third party companies could then paint an accurate picture of users’ habits and preferences in order to serve them more targeted advertisements, or even worse, sell this private data.
Despite this risk, the popularity of voice assistants seems to be unstoppable. In the near future, everything from your lighting to your air-conditioning to your refrigerator, your coffee maker, and even your toilet could be wired to a system controlled by voice, commented The Atlantic.
Colin Horgan wrote on the blog site Medium that he believed people’s daily lives will soon become a source of data. “The sounds of our homes, the symphony of life laughing, crying, talking, shouting, and sitting in silence—will no longer be considered memories, but data,” he wrote. To deal with the issue, Blake Morgan, reporter for The Atlantic, believed that the answer is transparency. “All companies need to have messaging ready to explain to customers what they do with private data,” she wrote on The Atlantic.
(　)1. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A. There are some fireproof voice assistants.
B. Many voice assistants are being developed.
C. Some voice assistants are also being criticized besides Siri.
D. Data collected by Siri is used for better user experience.
(　)2. What seems to be people’s biggest concern about voice assistants
A. Serving them targeted advertisements.
B. Sending their message.
C. Invading their privacy.
D. Making no improvements.
(　)3. What should companies do in response according to the last paragraph
A. Stop collecting data through voice assistants.
B. Explain their use of the data to customers.
C. Make their data more transparent.
D. Collect data to better keep memories.
(　)4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To show visions of a data world in the future.
B. To criticize companies’ invading customers’ privacy.　
C. To inform people of what tech companies are really up to.
D. To draw attention to the privacy issue concerning voice assistants.
●Ⅴ 语法填空
Recently, you may have noticed some new trends in the fashion industry, from “dopamine (多巴胺) dressing” to the “tomato girl”. Now, it is the perfect time 1.　　　　　(try) something new with the “Maillard style” that’s getting popular on social media.
The term “Maillard” originally refers to the Maillard 2.　　　　(react). This phenomenon is well-known in Western cuisine. It describes a chemical change that produces flavour chemicals and browning in foods such as toast and steak, as 3.　　　　(note) by BBC Science Focus.
4.　　　　(similar), Maillard-inspired fashion creates clothes 5.　　　　　 show different kinds of brown, like rich reddish-browns, warm yellow-browns, and delicate off-white (米色). This makes 6.　　　　 easier for people to think of the rich tastes food brings, 7.　　　　(create) pleasant emotions in their brains.
8.　　　　　　(compare) to the bright colours of “dopamine dressing” and the fresh “tomato girl” look, the dark earth colours that Maillard style uses reflect the autumn season and give people a 9.　　　　　　　(comfort) feeling.
The style has also become 10.　　　　 hit among many famous brands. At fashion shows showing off their new autumn products, brands like Miu Miu, Hermes, and Miuccia Prada have all presented Maillard-themed clothes one after another.
