A
In the digital age, privacy has become a pressing concern. With the widespread use of social media, online shopping, and various digital services, our personal information is constantly at risk.
A recent study found that a large number of apps on smartphones are collecting and sharing users' data without their full knowledge. These apps often request access to sensitive information such as location, contacts, and browsing history. Some even sell this data to third - party companies, which can use it for targeted advertising or other purposes.
One of the main reasons for this is the lack of strict regulations in the digital world. While there are some laws in place, they often lag behind the rapid development of technology. For example, many apps' privacy policies are written in complex language that is difficult for the average user to understand. This makes it easy for companies to take advantage of users and misuse their data.
What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The development of digital technology.
B. The risk of personal information leakage in the digital age.
C. The popularity of social media.
D. The function of apps on smartphones.
What do many apps on smartphones do according to the passage?
A. Protect users' personal information.
B. Collect and share users' data without full consent.
C. Provide users with useful services.
D. Use users' data for educational purposes.
Why is it easy for companies to misuse users' data?
A. Because users don't care about their privacy.
B. Because there are no laws to regulate the digital world.
C. Because the laws are not strict enough and privacy policies are hard to understand.
D. Because companies have powerful technology to bypass the laws.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable progress in recent years. It is now being applied in various fields, from healthcare to transportation.
In healthcare, AI - powered diagnostic tools can analyze medical images more accurately and quickly than human doctors in some cases. For example, they can detect early signs of diseases such as cancer in X - rays or MRIs. This can lead to earlier treatment and better recovery rates for patients.
In transportation, self - driving cars are becoming a reality. These cars use AI algorithms to perceive the surrounding environment, make decisions, and navigate safely. Although there are still some challenges, such as dealing with complex traffic situations and ensuring safety, the development of self - driving cars has the potential to revolutionize the way we travel.
However, the development of AI also raises some concerns. There are worries about job displacement as AI systems may replace human workers in many jobs. There are also ethical issues, such as the use of AI in military applications and the potential for AI - driven discrimination.
What can AI - powered diagnostic tools do in healthcare?
A. Replace human doctors completely.
B. Analyze medical images inaccurately.
C. Detect early signs of diseases.
D. Only work with X - rays.
What is the potential of self - driving cars?
A. To cause more traffic accidents.
B. To make traffic more complex.
C. To revolutionize the way we travel.
D. To increase the cost of transportation.
What are the concerns about the development of AI?
A. Job creation and ethical issues.

C. Job displacement and high cost.
D. Job creation and high cost.

Dear Tom,
I'm delighted to know that you're interested in traditional Chinese culture, especially Beijing Opera. I'm writing to give you a brief introduction to it.
Beijing Opera, with a history of over 200 years, originated from the late 18th century. It combines music, dance, acrobatics, and martial arts.
There are four main types of roles in Beijing Opera: Sheng (male roles), Dan (female roles), Jing (painted - face male roles), and Chou (clown roles). The costumes are extremely colorful and unique, which can show the characters' identities and social status. The singing in Beijing Opera has its own unique rhythm and melody, often expressing different emotions.
If you come to China, I'd be more than happy to take you to watch a Beijing Opera performance.
I'm sure you'll be deeply impressed by its charm. Looking forward to your visit.
Best regards,
Li Hua
