1、①DeepMind has almost apologized.②The NHS trust has mended its ways.③Further arrangements-and there may be many-between the NHS and DeepMind will be carefully scrutinised to ensure that all necessary permissions have been asked of patients and all unnecessary data has been cleaned.④There are lessons about informed patient consent to learn.⑤But privacy is not the only angle in this case and not even the most important.⑥Ms Denham chose to concentrate the blame on the NHS trust, since under existing law it "controlled"the data and DeepMind merely "processed"it.⑦But this distinction misses the point that it is processing and aggregation, not the mere possession of bits, that gives the data value.(节选自2018年考研英语一Text 3)
【题目】
The author argues in Paragraph 2 that___.
[A] privacy protection must be secured at all costs.
[B] leaking patients' data is worse than selling it.
[C] making profits from patients' data is ilegal.
[D] the value of data comes from the processing of it.
【解析】第二段最后一句提到it is processing…that gives the data value,选项[D]
中的“processing”是原文“processing”原词复现,“the value of data”对应原文中的
“data value”。[A]选项来自文章第二段第三句,第三句提到“DeepMind”与NHS未来的**将会涉及保护病人的隐私,这并不是作者的观点,而是客观陈述的事实,属于概念上的偷换,且at all costs表述过于绝对。[B]选项“泄露信息比出卖信息更糟糕”,在原文中并没有涉及出售信息,属于“无中生有”。[C]选项“从病人数据中获利是非法的”同样也没有涉及。
2、①The use of privacy law to curb the tech giants in this instance feels slightly maladapted.②This practice does not address the real worry.③It is not enough to say that the algorithms DeepMind develops will benefit patients and save lives.④What matters is that they will belong to a private monopoly which developed them using public resources.⑤If software promises to save lives on the scale that drugs now can, big data may be expected to behave as a big pharm has done.⑥We are still at the beginning of this revolution and small choices now may turn out to have gigantic consequences later.⑦A long struggle will be needed to avoid a future of digital feudalism.③Ms Denham's report is a welcome start.(节选自2018年考研英语一Text 3)
【题目】
According to the last paragraph, the real worry arising from this deal is___.
[A] the vicious rivalry among big pharms.
[B] the ineffective enforcement of privacy law.
[C] the uncontrolled use of new software.
[D] the monopoly of big data by tech giants.
【解析】根据题干中的last paragraph和the real worry定位在文中最后一段的第四句话,其中what matters对应题干中的real worry,答案则出自that从句后的内容:这些算法将属于私人垄断,而他们的开发却利用了公共资源。因此,选项[D]为正确答案,the monopoly of big data by tech giants对应原文中的a private monopoly。[A]选项是根据最后一段第五句的“big pharma”设置的干扰信息,但是这是将大数据比喻为大药房,且rivalry在文中也没有提到。[B]选项是利用最后一段*一句的信息进行干扰,maladapted表示没有适应新的情况,而非“无效执行”。[C]选项中uncontrolled use属于无中生有的内容。
