Facebook has been【C1】______with fire and has got its fingers burned, again. On November 29th America’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that it had reached a【C2】______settlement with the giant social network over【C3】______that it had misled people about its use of their personal data.
The details of the settlement make clear that Facebook, which【C4】______over 800m users, betrayed its users’ trust. It is also notable because it appears to be part of a broader【C5】______by the FTC to craft a new privacy framework to deal with the rapid【C6】______of social networks in America.
The regulator’s findings come at a【C7】______moment for Facebook, which is said to be preparing for an initial public offering next year that could value it at around $100 billion. To【C8】______the way for its listing, the firm first needs to resolve its privacy【C9】______with regulators in America and Europe,【C10】______its willingness to negotiate the settlement【C11】______this week.
Announcing the agreement, the FTC said it had found a number of cases where Facebook had made claims that were "unfair and deceptive, and【C12】______federal law". For instance, it【C13】______personally identifiable information to advertisers, and it failed to keep a promise to make photos and videos on deleted accounts【C14】______.
The settlement does not【C15】______an admission by Facebook that it has broken the law, but it deeply【C16】______the company nonetheless. In a blog post published the same day, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’ s boss, tried to【C17】______the impact of the deal. First he claimed that " a small number of high-profile mistakes" were【C18】______the social network’s "good history" on privacy.
The FTC is not relying on Facebook to police itself. Among other things, the company will now have to seek consumers’ approval before it changes the way it shares their data. And it has agreed to an independent privacy audit every two years for the next 20 years.
There is a clear pattern here. In separate cases over the past couple of years the FTC has insisted that Twitter and Google accept regular【C19】______audits, too, after each firm was accused of violating its customers’ privacy. The intent seems to be to create a regulatory regime that is tighter than the status quo,【C20】______one that still gives social networks plenty of room to innovate.
【C8】
选项
A、steer
B、clear
C、lay
D、remove
答案
B
解析
上文提到了脸谱网这次曝出的隐私丑闻正好发生在它准备上市的关键时刻,因此横线处这句话的大意应该是“为了给上市扫除障碍,脸谱网首先必须解决隐私保护问题上的争议”。[A]steer的意思是“驾驶,掌舵”,steer the way这个短语意思是“选择道路,选择方向”,不符合句义。[B]clear the way for sth.表示“为……清除障碍”,符合句义。例如,This agreement will dear the way for further talks.这个协议会为未来的会谈扫清障碍。[C]lay表示“放置”,lay the way这个短语不存在。[D]remove表示“摆脱,去掉”,例如,The college removed rules that prevented women from enrolling.大学取消了阻碍女性入学的规定。如果想用remove来表示“去除道路上的障碍”,使用的短语应该是remove the obstacles to,而不能直接使用remove the way。
