But people say one thing and do another.Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy.Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements.And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards.Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centoff coupon (优惠券).
But privacy does matter—at least sometimes.It's like health: When you have it,you don't notice it.Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了信息时代的隐私保护问题。
1.What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century replacement of being caught naked”?
A.People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.
B.In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.
C.People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.
D.Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.
【解析】 句意理解题。“the 21st century replacement of being caught naked”这句话的字面意思是“相当于21世纪被人看到裸体”。结合上下文可知,这句话意为“在21世纪信息时代,个人信息很容易被人看到,隐私被人窥视,和过去被人看到裸体一样。”A项的说法与此一致。B项的说法与A项有一定的相似之处,但是B项强调有人窥探别人隐私的行为,而原文是强调隐私“被”人看到,突出后果,故B项并不准确。C项和文意相距甚远,而D项是对“be caught naked”词组的错误理解。
