问题     There was a time when any personal information that was gathered about us was typed on a piece of paper and【B1】______in a file cabinet. It could remain there for years and, often【B2】______, never reach the outside world.
    Things have done a complete about-face since then.【B3】______the change has been the astonishingly【B4】______development in recent years of the computer. Today, any data that is【B5】______about us in one place or another—and for one reason or another—can be stored in a computer bank. It can then be easily passed to other computer banks. They are owned by individuals and by private businesses and corporations, lending【B6】______, direct mailing and telemarketing firms, credit bureaus, credit card companies, and【B7】______at the local, state, and federal level.
    A growing number of Americans are seeing the accumulation and distribution of computerized data as a frightening【B8】______of their privacy. Surveys show that the number of worried Americans has been steadily growing over the years as the computer becomes increasingly【B9】______, easier to operate, and less costly to purchase and maintain. In 1970, a national survey showed that 37 percent of the people【B10】______felt their privacy was being invaded. Seven years later, 47 percent expressed the same worry. A recent survey by a credit bureau revealed that the number of alarmed citizens had shot up to 76 percent.
【B2】
选项
答案forgotten
解析 此处应该填入动词过去分词构成的形容词，表示状态。forgotten意为“被遗忘的”。该句指出，个人信息放在那里多年，根本就没有重见天日的机会。因此，它们是“被遗忘的”。
