【答案】1.B2.A3.B4.C
【解析】本文是说明文。
为了确保儿童上网安全,英国ICO制定了保护儿童权利和安全的相应法规。
文章介绍了制定法规的必要性,法规的内容,作用和惩罚措施。
1.推理判断题。
根据第一段“Facebookandothersocialmediacompaniesshouldmakechildrenawarethattheironlineactivityismonitoredbytheirparentorcarer,underacodetoimprovechildInternetsafetyintheUK.”(根据英国一项提高儿童互联网安全的法规,Facebook和其他社交媒体公司应该让孩子们意识到,他们的在线活动受到父母或护理员的监控。
)可知ICO制定法规是为了确保儿童上网安全,故选B。
2.细节理解题。
根据第八段“Companiesthatdonotsticktothecodecouldfacefinesofupto4%oftheirglobalturnover,around$1.6bnforFacebook.”(不遵守规则的公司将面临高达其全球营业额4%的罚款,Facebook约为16亿美元。
)可知如果社交媒体公司不遵守这些规则,他们将面临被罚款。
故选A。
3.推理判断题。
根据倒数第四段ElizabethDenham说的“TheInternetandallitswondershavebeenapartoftheireverydaylives.Weshouldn’thavetopreventourchildrenfrombeingabletouseit,butwemustdemandthattheyshouldbeprotectedwhentheydo.Thiscodedoesthat.”(互联网和它所有的奇迹已经成为他们日常生活的一部分。
我们不应该阻止孩子使用它,但我们必须要求,当他们使用时,他们应该得到保护。
这个规则就能做到这一点。
)可知ElizabethDenham认为该规则作用很大,是非常必要的。
故选B。
4.词义猜测题。
上句“Fortoolongwehavefailedtorecognizechildren’srightsandneedsonline.Ifirmlybelieveinthepoweroftechnologytotransformlives,beaforceforgoodandrisetothechallengeofpromotingtherightsandsafetyofourchildren.”(很长一段时间以来,我们没有认识到儿童在网络上的权利和需要。
我坚信技术的力量可以改变生活,成为一股善的力量,迎接挑战,促进我们儿童的权利和安全。
)提到了我们忽略的问题,我们可以依靠技术的力量来解决问题。
那么下句就应该介绍在实现目标中应该注意什么问题——itmustconsiderthebestinterestsofchildren,notsimplyitsowncommercialinterests.其中fulfillthatrole应该指“实现,满足这个任务”,fulfill和meet同义,故选C。
