Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. Facebook, the Web's most popular social networking site, has been caught in a content-rights battle after revealing that it was granting itself permanent rights to users'photos, wall posts and other information even after a user closed an account.Under fire from tens of thousands of users Facebook posted a brief message on users' home pages that said it was returning to its previous"Terms of Use"policy. Member backlash against Facebook began after a consumer advocate website,The Consumerist, flagged a change made to Facebook's policy. Facebook deleted a sentence from the old Terms of Use. That sentence said Facebook could not claim any rights to original content that a user uploaded once the user closed his or her account. The company replaced it with: "You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. However, you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content. "In response, Chris Walters,wrote in the Consumerist post, "Make sure you never upload anything you don't feel comfortable giving away, because it's Facebook's now." Thousands of indignant members either canceled their accounts or created online petition.Among them were more than 64,000 who joined a group called "The People Against the new Terms of Service." Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg tried to quell(平息)the controversy by saying the company's philosophy is that people own their information and control who they share it with. But members were not appeased because the site did not fix its Terms of Use. The company, in its post, said it was returning to its previous Terms of Use because of the "feedback" it had received."It was never our intention to confuse people or make them uneasy about sharing on Facebook," company spokesman Barry Schnitt said in blog post. " also want to be very clear that Facebook does not, nor have we ever, claimed ownership over people's content. Your content belongs to you." Schnitt said the company is in the process of rewording its Terms of Use in "simple language that defines Facebook's rights much more specifically." In his blog post, Barry Schnitt implied that the controversy was induced by

Passage 4 Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. Eugenics(优生学) could be found everywhere in the U.S. in the1920s.It influenced American politics, social sciences and medicine. It shaped public policy, aesthetic theory and literature and affected popular culture. Eugenic thinking was so popular in the modern era that it attained the status of common sense. From the beginning of eugenics in the late-nineteenth-century England to its peak in the U.S. during the postwar years of the late 1910s and 1920s, few challenged the notion that modern nations especially those troubled by immigration, must improve their population in order to remain competitive in the modern world. Scholars have recently begun to acknowledge the profound influence of eugenic thought on modern white American and British writers, yet it remains unknown to most of them that some versions of eugenics also appeared in the writings of modern African American intellectuals, including not only Du bois and Dunbar-Nelson but also Jean Toomer, George Schuyler, and E. Franklin Frazier. In the end, there were not nearly as many refutations of eugenics in modern U.S. as there were competing versions of it. As Zygmunt Bauman has argued, the ideal of weeding out defective individuals and races deeply affected the U.S. and remained arguably the most outstanding feature of its collective spirit. Eugenics in some form shows up in various writings between 1890 and 1940.It was so widespread that it serves as an ideal perspective for examining often ignored aspects in American public policy class politics, racial politics, literature and even Harlem Renaissance. Indeed, in the U.S. of the 1910s and 1920s,eugenics became so widely accepted that it might be considered the guiding principle of modern American discourse(话语) There were a number of reasons for this particular success of eugenics in the U.S. First, it was a combination of scientism and progress that appealed to a wide variety of modern American intellectuals. Second, the U.S.'s particular historical circumstances in the early twentieth century-inclu— widespread immigration,a shift to an urban industrial economy, and the country's emergence as dominant global power-help further explain the rise of an ideology that promised to increase national competitiveness and efficiency. Finally, Americans accepted eugenics because it provided them with a theory that supported racism around the turn of the twentieth century. In the era dominated by eugenics, most Americans believed that____

Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. Recently a new postage stamp has been issued to honor Flannery O'Connor and her great contributions to American Literature. The stamp costs 93 cents and has a pretty picture of the writer herself on it. She wears a simple top with a jewel neckline, and pearls. Her pink porcelain face, framed in a 1940s hairstyle, glows with the barest hint of how-do-do-you- smile. This stamp does not, to my eyes, show Flannery O' Connor, the 20th-century master of the short story, the “hermit(隐士) novelist” who fused her art and life as a Southerner and Roman Catholic with stories that are shocking, hilarious(令人发笑的)and often bloody, the one who lived with her mother in Georgia and raised pheasants(雉鸡), who got sick and died young in 1964, who gazed at the sin-stricken world through cat-eye glasses that are as much her visual signature as Hemingways' beard or Frida's eyebrow. This stamp shows the artist as a very young woman, barely 20 years old. It's based on a photo of her as an undergraduate at Georgia State College for Women.Her works then amounted to cartoons and stories for the college magazine. The United States Postal Service gave this job to an art director, who hired a freelance artist. I spoke with both of them, and learned that neither knew much about O'Connor, but they did their best with the images they had. The artist told me he had read one of her novels in college. He knew O'Connor had raised pheasants, so he framed her with feathers. The art director remembered that her work was “unsettling," and that she was Catholic. I can't blame either of them for deciding on this striking portrait as the best fit for their tiny canvas, but I wish they and the Postal Service had produced a stamp that was more recognizably the grown-up Flannery, and contained some taste of her strange and noble artistic vision. I know she does not present an automatic illustrative equation, like mustache+steamboat=Mark Twain.But a better choice would be a painting made by the author herself,a self-portrait from 1953.She is wearing a yellow straw hat,holding a devilish-looking pheasant and looking straight at you,harmful and brilliant,as if she could smell your stupidity.It is gorgeous and rough and honest and perfect. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that Flannery O'Connor____
