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 800 m 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.
【C4】
选项
A、boasts
B、exaggerates
C、estimates
D、assesses
答案
A
解析
横线处这句话的大意是“协议的细节清楚地表明了脸谱网,这家拥有8亿用户的网站,背弃了用户对它的信任。”“拥有”通常来说使用own一词,但是该词并没有出现在选项中,我们需要对四个动词词义进行辨析。boast,有“引以为豪”的意思,而且是一个及物动词,后面可直接加宾语。例如,The town boasts a world—famous art gallery.这个镇子引以为荣的是有个闻名于世的美术馆。因此boast可以填在横线处,意思是脸谱网这个网站一直以来以庞大的用户数量引以为豪,但是它却出卖了用户的信息”。[A]为正确答案。exaggerate“夸大”;estimate“估计”,这个词填在横线处语义并没有什么问题,但是搭配上出了问题。如果想要表达“据估计脸谱网有超过8亿用户”,应该使用的是这样的句型“…Facebook,which is estimated to have over 800m users”。assess“评价,评估”,与句义不符。
