If the online service is free then you are the product, technicians say. Google and Facebook make a【C1】______collecting personal information to help them target their advertisements more【C2】______Free smart-phone apps typically【C3】______all the data they can, such as the person’s location or their【C4】______address book.
More than ever, individual privacy is【C5】______threat. Julia Angwin, who oversaw a pioneering series of Wall Street Journal articles called "What They Know", starting last year,【C6】______many of the questionable activities that damage privacy—activities that most people know nothing about. Hundreds of unregulated data-agents【C7】______in America, for example, selling personal files to marketing companies. One company runs a fleet of camera—equipped cars that【C8】______the number plates of 1 million vehicles a month, mostly to find those wanted for repossession—【C9】______it sells the data to insurers or private investigators as well.
Ms Angwin condemns this shadowy business. Her book tracks her attempts to【C10】______it. She gets a credit card using a fake name; she uses a(n)【C11】______search engine and conceals her e-mail and texts; she leaves LinkedIn. When she turns off basic web-browsing functions that enable tracking she becomes digitally【C12】______. Amazon items appear to be out of【C13】______and she is unable set up an appointment at an Apple store. "My daughter would stand next to me and laugh while I tried to【C14】______a page and browse through all the【C15】______," she writes.
Yet "Dragnet Nation" has its【C16】______. It ignores how exciting the【C17】______uses of personal data can be to companies, governments and NGOs. It mixes state scrutiny and privacy-damaging business practices, weakening the study of both. Ms Angwin’s analysis of the problems and【C18】______regulatory remedies is shallow, and her attempts to【C19】______the dragnet eventually become wearisome. Her【C20】______is to have made herself a subject in an experiment to avoid the scrutiny found everywhere. But the real story about the e-conomy of personal information and protecting privacy in an age of big data has yet to be written.
【C1】
选项
A、change
B、loss
C、promise
D、fortune
答案
D
解析
空格后提到谷歌和Facebook搜集个人信息的目的:帮助定位广告(target their advertisements)。广告无疑会给他们带来利润,D项fortune有“财富”之意,与make a搭配后表示“赚大钱”,语义符合。
