Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2019·苏北四市名校联考)Ownership used to be about as straightforward as writing a cheque. If you bought something, you owned it. If you broke it, you fixed it. If you no longerwanted it, you sold it or threw it away. Some firms found ways of squeezing out more profit in the after-sale services, using authorized repair shops, and strategies such as selling cheap printers and expensive ink, which, however, did not challenge the nature of ownership.In the digital age ownership has become more ambiguous. Since the arrival of smart phones, consumers are forced to accept that they do not control the software in their devices; they are only licensed to use it, But as more digital devices are springing up, who owns and who controls which objects is becoming a problem. Buyers should be aware that some of their most basic property rights are under threat.Needless to say, manufacturers seeking to restrict what owners do with increasingly complex technology have good reasons to protect their copyright, ensure that their machines do not malfunction (发生故障), maintain environmental standards and prevent hacking. Sometimes companies use their control over a product's software for the owners' benefit. When Hurricane Irma hit Florida this month, Tesla, a start-up for electric vehicles, remotely upgraded the software controlling the batteries of some models to give owners more range to escape the storm.The more digital strings (数字串) are attached to goods, the more the balance of control tilts (倾斜) towards producers and away from owners. Already this has given rise to controversy (争议) over owners'property rights. Items from smart phones to washing machines have become increasingly hard to fix, meaning that they are thrown away instead of being repaired. Privacy is also at risk. Users were alarmed when it came out that iRobot, a robotic vacuum cleaner, not only cleans the floor but creates a digital map of the home's interior that can then be sold on to advertisers though the manufacturer says it has no intention of doing so.Such issues should remind people how desperately they ought to protect their property rights. In America this idea has already taken root in the “right to repair” movement. In France appliance-makers must tell buyers how long a device is likely to last — a sign of how repairable it is. Regulators should encourage competition by, for instance, insisting that independent repair shops have the same access to product information, spare parts and repair tools as manufacturer-owned ones.Ownership is not about to go away, but its meaning is changing. Devices, by and large, are sold on the basis that they empower (授权) people to do what they want. To the extent they are controlled by somebody else, that freedom is compromised.答案:1.challenged 2.clear /definite/certain3.threatened 4.issues 5.restrictions6.favour /favor/interest(s) 7.tends 8.light 9.taken10.compromised/damagedⅢ.书面表达(2019·通、泰、扬、徐、淮、宿二模)请根据你对以下两幅图的理解,以“We Chinese Should Carry Forward Traditional Chinese Culture”为题,用英语写一篇作文。
