When you search Google or use Amazon, you might assume the results you see are the same as those viewed by your friends, family and other Internet users. But you’d be wrong. Websites and social networks track your location and search history and make assumptions about your age, race, sex and political views. They then show ads they believe to be the most relevant, in order to maximize clicks, but personalize which results you see by eliminating what they think is irrelevant.

This is sold to the public as positive, making each web session relevant and interesting, yet it is leading researchers to fear this could widen divides between the North and South, rich and poor, and young and old. For example, in terms of wealth, if users are only ever shown particular products and job advertisements based on how much they earn or where they live, these users will never be given the opportunities to increase their wealth, or how much they spend on items.

Princeton University has created bots（自动程序）, each with their own fake profiles. These bots have different fake ages and sexes, earn different levels of money, are virtually(虚拟地) based in various locations around the world and have different interests. By using these bots to scan and research the web, the researchers hope to create a picture of not only what each of them sees, but also what sites they are missing out on.

According to lead researcher, Arvind Narayanan, “Our goal is a web privacy census（普查）which will be a comprehensive map of who are collecting what information, what they are inferring from it, and who they are sharing it with. It is an important step in our final goal of figuring out how users are treated based on that information.”

Personalization also has its benefits. Shopping sites such as Amazon and eBay can scan a user’s search and purchase history to offer suggestions. This can help find similar, cheaper items or items that are more suited to their needs at a glance. It’s also possible to disable personalized ads and results. Google’s search engine lets you switch off personalization, for example.

Researchers from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and Yahoo felt the issue was so potentially damaging, and they have also created a way to “burst the filter(过滤) bubble”. They believe that just because people have opposing views on certain topics it doesn’t mean they won’t share interests with others. 32. The underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”. A. decorating

B. removing

C. personalizing

D. protecting

33. Princeton University created bots to ______. A. explain why different websites are personalized B. offer users some advice on how to protect privacy C. assess how personalization is affecting Internet users

D. stress the advantages and disadvantages of personalization of websites 34. Which of the following websites have done something to cut off personalization? A. Google and Yahoo C. Amazon and eBay

B. eBay and Google

D. Amazon and Yahoo

35. What is this passage mainly about?

A. Different websites are doing something to offer quality service.

B. Personalized ads and search results could be creating different web pages. C. Personalization of different sites will lead to users’ privacy being violated. D. Personalization of shopping sites makes online shopping more convenient. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

The modern competitive sport of weightlifting originated in 19th-century Europe and was included in the first

modern Olympic Games in 1896. 36 At that time, simple competitions were held to see who could lift the heaviest weight.

The first worldwide weightlifting championships were held in London in 1891. At that time, there were no female competitors. Today, the World Weightlifting Championships, organized by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), are held every year. 37 .

Weightlifting as an Olympic event got off to an unsmooth start. It was not held as a separate event in the first games held in 1896, but as a field event. 38 The sport returned to the Olympics again in 1904, this time as part of the athletics program. Not until 1920 did weightlifting make its real Olympic comeback. The 1920 Olympic Games, held in Antwerp, Belgium, marked weightlifting’s debut（首次露面）as a separate event. 39 Previously, weightlifters in the Olympics were all required to compete against each other, regardless of their size. One-hand lifting was dropped from the sport in 1928. Various weightlifting exercises were added and later removed over many years until 1972. 40 The 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney saw the introduction of the women’s competition, although the IWF has held the World Weightlifting Championships for women since 1987. A. The 1940 and 1944 Games were canceled.

B. It is a sport in which barbells are lifted competitively. C. The 1900 Games had no weightlifting presence at all.

D. The championships include 15 separate weight types for both men and women.

E. The 1972 Olympic Games finally presented the weightlifting program in its present form. F. The sport, however, dates back to ancient civilizations including China, Egypt and Greece. G. The Antwerp Games also introduced one-hand lifting and weight divisions to the new event. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)

A Chinese scientist, Mr. He Jiankui claimed that he has successfully created the world’s first genetically-edited babies. In a interview, Mr. He said he had edited the genetic substance, or DNA, of twin girls born a few weeks early. Though Mr He’s claim was immediately condemned by some scientists as unsafe and unethical, but he defended his work. He said the gene editing, that was to help protect the babies from their future infection of HIV, the virus responsible with AIDS, was perfectly safe. Many scientists working in genetics say he believe any experiments performing this way are dangerous.
