22、 "Big tobacco" is what the bosses of several large technology firms have started calling Facebook. Being compared to the tobacco giants is far from praise, but it is not the only wide﹣spread analogy(比拟). A lower blow is the suggestion that Facebook may become like Yahoo, the once high﹣flying internet firm that fell.
Even a year ago the idea would have been unthinkable. But since January Facebook has become trapped in a series of misjudgments and missteps. It became clear that it had done too little to stop Russian interference(干涉) in America's election in 2016. It had to admit that it had shared the personal data of 90m users with outside firms without permission.
The comparison to Yahoo is imperfect. Even at its peak Yahoo's business was never as large and profitable as Facebook's. One of the main reasons Yahoo declined is because it lost out to a powerful competitor, Google, in online search; Marissa Mayer, its boss from 2012 until its sale to Verizon last year, was unable to restore advertisers' or employees' confidence as users left.
But people who watched Yahoo's falling see similarities. Executive(主管) turnover was a leading indicator of its decline; before Ms. Mayer was hired Yahoo went through four chief executives in three years. Mr. Zuckerberg, who controls the majority of Facebook's voting shares, is not leaving, but many top executives are. This year several have announced their departures, including Facebook's chief security officer.
When advertisers' faith in Facebook has been shaken, politicians in Washington are running out of patience with the company. Lawmakers' inspection of the firm is causing it to be more cautious about how it uses data for targeting advertisements and about what information it makes available to outsiders.
Mr. Zuckerberg and Ms. Sandberg are under pressure to prove to employees and advertisers that Facebook is not only trustworthy but worthy of their time and money. If they cannot do so, and the company's share price continues its slide, it is possible that Ms. Sandberg will be replaced in the next year. Mr. Zuckerberg will doubtless have thoughts about Yahoo's sorry tale.
【1】For Facebook, being compared to "big tobacco" is .
A. positive
B. ambitious
C. creative
D. negative
【2】According to the author, what does Facebook currently have in common with the failed Yahoo?
A. Letting out users' data.
B. Being deep in financial crisis.
C. Leaders are leaving the company.
D. Laying off a large number of employees.
【3】The author tries to support his judgment about Facebook by .
A. questioning its management
B. using evidence related to it
C. analyzing its financial data
D. listing its advantages and disadvantages
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Facebook gets trapped in trouble.
B. Two companies are deep in crisis.
C. How to save Facebook.
D. Faith is more valuable than gold.
23、 When Jack Andraka was 15 years old, he created a new diagnostic test for pancreatic cancer. Jack's test is 28 times faster, 26,000 times less expensive and over 100 times more sensitive than the current diagnostic tests. His test earned him first prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which is like the Olympics of science fairs.
It was after a close family friend died of pancreatic cancer that Jack Andraka became interested in finding a better early-detection diagnostic test. Jack said the solution came to him during his high school biology class. He was secretly reading an article about nanotubes while the teacher was talking about antibodies. Jack said the two ideas came together in his head, and he thought he could combine what the teacher was saying with what he knew about nanotubes to create an early detection test for pancreatic cancer.
Jack Andraka used what he found through Google searches and free online science journals to develop a plan and a budget. Jack contacted about 200 people including researchers at Johns Hopkins University and the National Institutes of Health with a proposal to work in their labs. He got 199 rejections before he finally got an acceptance from Dr. Anirban Maitra, Professor of Oncology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Jack worked after school every day, on weekends and over holidays at Maitra's lab until he developed his test.
So, think about Jack Andraka the next time you hear that something can't be done. Or, if you receive numerous rejections (close to 200 in Jack Andraka's case) or you're simply hesitating to give one of your ideas a shot. Also, keep in mind that you don't necessarily need a giant team, billions of dollars in resources or even more than 15 years of life experience to do something amazing.
【1】Why did Jack decide to work on the diagnostic test?
A.The existing test was not widely used.
B.He wanted to win a prize in a science fair.
C.A family friend died of pancreatic cancer.
D.He got inspired in his high school biology class.
【2】How did Jack work out the test?
A.By cooperating with Google.
B.By doing experiments in the lab.
C.By conducting researches online.
D.By contacting about 200 people.
【3】In which section of a newspaper can this article appear?
A.Life Style & Trends
B.Hospitals & ICUs
C.Inspirational Stories
D.Interesting Discoveries
24、 About 2,400 years ago in Athens a man was put to death for asking too many questions. If philosophy has a patron saint (领航者),it is Socrates.
Shabby and a bit strange, Socrates did not fit in. Although physically ugly and often unwashed, he had great charm and a brilliant mind. Everyone in Athens agreed that there had never been anyone quite like him and probably wouldn't be again. He was unique.
As a young man, he had been a brave soldier fighting in the Peloponnesian War against the Spartans and their allies. In middle age, he wandered around the marketplace, stopping people from time to time and asking them awkward questions. That was more or less all he did. But the questions he asked were razor-sharp.
Over and over again Socrates demonstrated that the people he met in the marketplace didn't really know what they thought they knew. A military commander would begin a conversation totally confident that he knew what "courage" meant, but after 20 minutes in Socrates' company, he would leave completely confused. The experience must have been disconcerting. Socrates loved to reveal the limits of what people genuinely understood, and to question the assumptions on which they built their lives.
The word "philosopher" comes from the Greek words meaning "love of wisdom”. The kind of wisdom that it values is based on argument, reasoning and asking questions, not on believing things simply because someone important has told you they are true. Wisdom for Socrates was not knowing lots of facts, but knowing how to do something. It meant understanding the true nature of our existence, including the limits of what we can know. Philosophers today are doing more or less what Socrates was doing: asking tough questions, looking at reasons and evidence, struggling to answer some of the most important questions we can ask ourselves about the nature of reality and how we should live.
【1】What can we learn about Socrates?
A.He always dressed himself properly and neatly.
B.He used to be an anti-war activist when young.
C.He had a sharp mind and the spirit of insistence.
D.He was enthusiastic about bargaining in the supermarket.
【2】What does the underlined word “ disconcerting " in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Awesome.
B.Enjoyable.
C.Disturbing.
D.Risky.
【3】What is the wisdom from philosophy?
A.Learning to argue, reason and ask.
B.Having faith in what experts told you.
C.Figuring out how to solve the question.
D.Managing to have access to lots of facts.
【4】Which column is the passage taken from?
A.Politics.
B.Economy.
C.Society.
D.Culture.
