35. D. the relationship between digital giants and their users
【解析】
31. 根據題干內容定位到第一段,并且 “Facebook”和“Whats App” 可以精確定位到第一段的句中的“to acquire the Whats App messaging service”以及“What Whats App offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users’ friendships and social lives”,因此,答案可以定位到B 選項,user information。
32. 根據題干定位到該段首句,it broken the promise almost as soon as the deal went through, 以及在下一句中even引導的句中“the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be”,我們可以的看到將電話號碼與Facebook身份驗證連接可能會對用戶造成威脅,因此答案為“pose a risk to Facebook users”。
33. 根據題干內容定位到第三段Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power. But, it is clumsy. For one thing, it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy. 可知it 指代的是competition law,而且競爭法太慢了,趕不上數字經濟的步伐。 而D選項cannot keep pace with the changing market 正好與本句是同義替換,因此正確選項是D選項。
34. 根據題干定位到原文第三段倒數第2句,The users of their services are not their customers. 可知他們服務的用戶不是他們的客戶,而A選項they are not defined as customers意為用戶不被定義為顧客,所以正確選項是A選項。
35. 根據題干定位到原文第四段Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed, so Google farms us for the data that our digital lives yield. 而D選項the relationship between digital giants and their users 意為數字巨頭和他們的用戶之間的關系,因此D選項是正確選項。
