问题 Imagine you went to a restaurant with your girlfriend,had a burger,paid with a credit card,andleft.The next time you go there,the waiter or waitress,armed with your profile data,greets you with,“Hey Joe,how are you? Mary is over there in the seat you sat last time.Would you like to join her for dinner again?”Then you find out that your burger has been cooked and placed on the table.Forget the fact that you are with another date and are on a diet that doesn’t include burgers.
    Sound a little bizarre? To some.this is the restaurant equivalent of the Internet.The Net’s ability to profile you through your visits to and interactions at websites provides marketers with an enormous amount of data on you—some of which you may not want them to have.
    Are you aware that almost every time you access a website you get a“cookie”?Unfortunately,it’s not the Mrs.Field’s recipe.A cookie on the Internet is a computer code sent by the site to your computer--usually without your knowledge.During the entire period of time that you are at the site,the cookie is collecting information about yourself,including where you visit,how long you stay there,and how frequently you return to certain pages.
    While this may sound scary enough.cookies aren’t even the latest in technology.A new system call I-librarian Alexa—named after the legendary third century B.C.1ibrary in Alexandria,Egypt—does even more.While cookies track what you are doing at one site.Alexa collects data on all vour web activities,such as which site you visit next,how long you stay there,whether you click on advertisements.etc.All this information is available to marketers,who use it to market more effectively to you.Not only do you not get paid for providing the information,you probably don’t eyen know that you are giving it.
    请回答下列问题。
In the restaurant story,the author may most probably think the waiter or waitress was

选项 A、stupid
B、polite
C、considerate
D、annoying

答案D

解析 推断题。根据第一段中的“Forget the fact that you are with another date and are on a diet that doesn’t include burgers.(忘掉你和另一个约会对象的事实,你正在节食,所以不吃汉堡。)”以及第一段其他内容的描述可以推断出作者对这种做法的态度是负面的。四个选项中,B项“有礼貌的”和C项“体贴的”属于积极意义的词汇,不符合文意,故排除。A项“愚蠢的”和D项“令人讨厌的”相比,“令人讨厌的”更加符合作者当时的心情。故本题选D。
