8、ncluding Didi Taxi, Ctrip, Fliggy, JD and Taobao, have been uncovered that they are cheating their frequent customers. Their ways are pretty clever. When there are new users or conservative old users, they will give a quite appealing price to attract them into registering and buying goods. However,

9、their big data is not that friendly to the stable users and frequent visitors. The system always offers them higher price for the same products or service. How does this happen? According to the data analysis, the system knows clearly that although they feel the price is high, they will finally pay

10、the bill. By collecting and analyzing users profiles, buying habits and other information, big data recommends the same products to different users with different prices. Companies also try other ways to make money, making online consumption far more worrying. For example, video websites always offe

11、r 120 seconds advertisements, which drives people crazy. And even if you pay for the membership to get rid of the ads, you have to “enjoy” 15-second “private” ads. By broadcasting them, companies make huge profits - second to the membership fees. Also, owning 100Mbps network, you still put up with t

12、he slow speed when you are downloading a song. You have no choice but to become a VIP when you seek high quality services. Users seem to be lambs(羊羔) among wolves. Even though they say,” Since you have money, Ill charge you more”, we cant do anything about it. It pains us that we havent figured out

13、a way to deal with the problem. The only thing we can do is replacing our iPhones with Android phones if we want to buy a membership card, and applying for new accounts if we want cheaper hotels. Not finding a way to fight back, we cant do anything but accept them passively. 4. How does big data ser

By recommending the same products with higher prices to regular users.5. What do we know from the second paragraph? A. Members

15、hip can rid you of all the ads. B. Only by being a VIP can you get a better service. C. The slow download speed is due to your poor network.D. Advertising income is the biggest income for video websites. 6. What is the author attitude towards the chances of finding a way to fight back? A. Uncertain.

16、B. Casual.C. Negative.D. Positive. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. The big data provides helpful information to users. B. We have to accept online consumption as it is. C. There exist many online consumption traps. D. Regular customers are richer. CAntarcticas melting ice, which has caused

17、global sea levels to rise by at least 13.8 millimeters over the past 40 years, was thought to primarily come from the unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet(WAIS). Now, scientists have found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS)considered largely unaffected by climate changemay also be melting at an u

18、nexpectedly rapid speed. The WAIS, whose base is below sea level, has long been considered the most likely to break down. Besides gravity, a deep current of warm water slips beneath the sheet, melting it from below until it becomes a floating shelf at risk of breaking away. In contrast, extreme cold

19、 and a base mostly above sea level are thought to keep the EAIS relatively safe from warm waters. But as greenhouse gases warm much of the planet, driving stronger polar winds, some scientists think warm water carried by a circular current will start to invade East Antarcticas once unassailable ice.

20、 A cooperation of more than 60 scientists last year, published in Nature, estimated that the EAIS actually added about 5 billion tons of ice each year from 1992 to 2017. Eric Rignot of the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues combined 40 years of satellite imagery and climate modeling an

21、d found that overall Antarctica now sends six times more ice into the sea each year than it did in 1979, with the majority coming from West Antarctica. But East Antarctica was responsible for more than 30% of Antarcticas contribution to the 13.8-millimeter sea level rise over the past 40 years. “The

22、 more we look at this system the more we realize this is fragile,” Rignot says. “Once these glaciers become unstable there is no red button to press to stop it.”Rignot hopes the study brings greater attention to a part of Antarctica that has traditionally been understudied. Helen Fricker, a glaciolo

23、gist (冰川学家) in California, agrees. “We need to monitor the entire Antarctica and we just cant do that without international cooperation.” 8. What is the new finding of scientists? A. The east Antarctica is losing ice at an increasing rate. B. The west Antarctica is melting six times faster than in 1

24、979. C. 5 billion tons of ice is added to Antarctica each year. D. The sea level has risen by 13.8 mm over the past 40 years.9. Which factor leads to the EAISs melting fast? A. A base mostly over sea level.B. The force of gravity. C. The invasion of a warm current.D. Extremely low temperature.10. Wh

25、ich of the following best explains “unassailable” underlined in Para. 3? A. Fragile.B. Unattackable. C. Mild.D. Unstable.11. Which way does Helen Fricker specially advocate? A. Satellite imagery.B. Global monitoring.C. Worldwide climate modeling. D. Worldwide combined effortsDModern lifestyles are g

26、enerally quite different from those of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, a fact that some claim as the cause of the current rise in global obesity, but new results published July 25 in the open access journal PLOS ONE find that there is no difference between the energy expenditure(耗费) of modern hunter-

27、gatherers and Westerners, casting doubt on this theory.The research team behind the study, led by Herman Pontzer of Hunter College in New York City, along with David Raichlen of the University of Arizona and Brian M. Wood of Stanford measured daily energy expenditure among the Hadza, a population of

28、 traditional hunter-gatherers living in the open Savannah of northern Tanzania. Despite spending their days hiking long distances to seek for wild plants and game, the Hadza burned no more calories each day than adults in the U.S. and Europe. The team ran several analyses accounting for the effects

29、of body weight, body fat percentage, age, and gender. In all analyses, daily energy expenditure among the Hadza hunter-gatherers was indistinguishable(难以区分的) from that of Westerners. The study was the first to measure energy expenditure in hunter-gatherers directly; previous studies had relied entir

30、ely on estimates.These findings overturn the long-held assumption that our hunter-gatherer ancestors expended more energy than modern populations, and challenge the view that obesity in Western populations results from decreased energy expenditure. Instead, the similarity in daily energy expenditure

31、 across a broad range of lifestyles suggests that habitual metabolic(新陈代谢的) rates are relatively constant among human populations. This in turn supports the view that the current rise in obesity is due to increased food consumption, not decreased energy expenditure. It means we have more to learn ab

32、out human physiology(生理学) and health, particularly in non-Western settings.These results highlight the complexity of energy expenditure. Its not simply a function of physical activity, says Pontzer.” Our metabolic rates may be more a reflection of our shared evolutionary past than our diverse modern

33、 lifestyles.12. According to the new research, hunter-gatherers consume _.A. the same energy as Westerners B. more energy than WesternersC. less energy than Westerners D. the same food as Westerners13. How did the research team do the new research?A. By comparing hiking distances. B. By identifying

34、wild plants and game.C. By estimating daily energy expenditure. D. By measuring daily energy expenditure.14. People have long assumed that _.A. the rise in obesity is due to increased food consumption B. decreased energy expenditure makes Westerners fat C. daily energy expenditure stays the same in

35、historyD. humans habitual metabolic rates are unchanged 15. Which of the following can reflect our shared evolutionary past?A. Our physiology activity. B. Our energy expenditure. C. Our metabolic rates. D. Our modern lifestyle. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。（注意E涂AB,
