问题     Imagine you went to a restaurant with your girlfriend,had a burger,paid with a credit card,and left.The next time you go there,the waiter or waitress,armed with your profile data,  greets you with,“Hey Joe,how are you?Mary is over there in the seat you sat last time.Would you like to join  her for dinner again?”Then you find out that your burger has been cooked and placed on the table.Forget the fact that you are with another date and are on a diet that doesn’t include burgers.
  Sound a little bizarre?To some,this is the restaurant equivalent of the Internet.The Net’s ability to profile you through your visits to and interactions at websites provides marketers with an enormous amount of data on you——some of which you may not want them to have.
    Are you aware that almost every time you access a website you get a“cookie”?Unfortunately,it’s not the Mrs.Field’s recipe.A cookie on the Internet is a computer code sent by the site to your computer—usually without your knowledge.During the entire period of time that you are at the site.the cookie is collecting information about yourself,including where you visit,how long you stay there,and how frequently you return to certain pages.
    While this mav sound scary enough,cookies aren’t even the latest in technology.A new system call I——librarian Alexa——named after the legendary third century B.C.1ibrary in Alexandria,Egypt——does even more.While cookies track what you are doing at 0ne site.Alexa collects data on all your web activities,such as which site you visit next,how long you stay there,whether you click on advertisements,etc.All this information is available to marketers,who use it to market more effectively to you.Not only do you not get paid for providing the information,you probably don’t even know that you are giving it.
The author makes up the restaurant story in order to____________.

选项 A、show the good services offered in some web restaurants
B、criticize some restaurants for the poor services
C、show the Internet’s ability to collect data on you
D、prove the incredible power of the Internet to change your diet

答案C

解析 细节题。根据题干关键词the restaurant story定位到第二段第二句“The Net’s ability to profile you through your visits to and interactions at websites provides marketers with an enormous amount of data on you some of which you may not want them to have.(通过你在网站上的访问和互动,网络可以对你个人进行介绍,为市场营销人员提供了大量关于你的数据,其中一些你可能不希望他们拥有。)”和C项的“show the Intemet’s ability to collect data on you(展示互联网收集你个人信息的能力)”意思相符。其他三项,A项“show the good services offered in some web restaurants(展示一些网络餐厅提供的良好服务)”,文章中未提及,属于混淆概念,排除;B项“criticize some restaurants for the poor services(批评一些餐馆服务差)”文章中未提及,无中生有,排除;D项“prove the incredible power of the Internet to change your diet(证明互联网改变你饮食的不可思议的力量)”过度推断,排除,只有C项符合。故本题选C。
