问题     The Federal Trade Commission pushed forward application developers to take steps to protect consumer privacy. 【B1】______, many consumers seem to be already taking steps to【B2】______their personal information from data-grabbing apps.
    A study by the Pew Research Center found that among American adults who use smart-phone apps, half had decided not to【B3】______applications on their mobile phones because they【B4】______too much personal information. And one in five turned off【B5】______tracking " because they were【B6】______that other individuals or companies could【B7】______that information. " A customer’s whereabouts can be【B8】______valuable to marketers trying to sell their wares, or government authorities trying to keep【B9】______on citizens’ movements.
    The study seems to suggest a(n) 【B10】______awareness of digital privacy. And it【B11】______a common sense that the generation of young Americans who have grown up in the Internet age lightly share their personal【B12】______. Mobile phone users between ages 18 and 29 were equally likely to【B13】______an application because of privacy concerns as older Americans,【B14】______the younger group was more likely to use applications in the first place.
    The increase of mobile apps has lately given【B15】______to administrative observation.

The F. T. C. , which is【B18】______for enforcing consumer rights, concluded that applications directed at children were not【B19】______clear about how they used the data they collected. The commission published its proposals for application developers;【B20】______other things, it suggested that companies seek their customers’ "express agreement" for data they collect and share.
【B18】
选项 A、capable
B、responsible
C、compatible
D、advisable
答案B
解析 形容词辨析题。F．T．C．即文章开篇提到的The Federal Trade Commission(联邦联邦贸易委员会)。本空所在句意为：联邦贸易委员会——去捍卫消费者的权益。结合第一段第一句：联邦贸易委员会敦促应用程序开发商采取措施来保护消费者隐私，可知该委员会有责任去捍卫消费者权益。responsible“有责任的”符合文意，故本题选[B]。capable意为“能干的，有才华的”，compatible意为“兼容的，能共处的”，advisable意为“明智的，可取的”，均不符合句意，故均排除。
