22、It was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.
Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.
“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”
On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.
“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F. T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”
Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.
He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative approach.”
The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.
【1】The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google_______.
A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy.

23、Germany is the leader of the world’s waste-recycling race. The country has quite a detailed way of sorting their waste-down to the color of glass waste, the type of paper, the separate bin for metals, etc.
Here below are what you should know about Germany’s waste sorting system:
◇You are expected to gather your waste in your apartment/housing area’s local public garbage bins.
◇There are commonly several types of public garbage bins available in the German’s apartment/housing area:
• Blue bin-for paper and cardboard
•Green and white bin-for glass, different bins for differently colored glass, not available for holiday decorations and lights
•Yellow/orange bin - for plastic and metals
•Gray/black bin- for everything else that can’t be recycled such as used cat litter and animal waste
•Brown bin - for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don't harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables
◇Some items don’t belong in these public garbage bins. Items like used batteries, electronics, unused paints, and lights must be returned to the special agents/locations so they can be properly recycled. Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold.
◇There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified shops. German law requires shops over a certain size selling bottled drinks have a Pfandrückgabestelle, or place for bottles with deposits(押金). These bottles usually made of glass or plastic will be refilled. Of course, there're strict health regulations.
【1】Which bin should abandoned pet food be put into?
A．The blue bin.
B．The gray/black bin.
C．The brown bin.
D．The green and white bin.
【2】How can Germans deal with a large old sofa?
A．By giving it away.
B．By putting it in a specific location.
C．By returning it to special agents.
D．By selling it to a Pfandrückgabestelle.
【3】What is the function of Pfand?
A．Ensuring the cleanliness of refilled bottles.
B．Encouraging consumers to return bottles.
C．Reducing the use of non-recyclable bottles.
D．Having shops reuse plastic or glass bottles.
24、American farmers have been complaining of labor shortages for several years.The complaints are unlikely to stop without an overhaul（全面修订）of immigration rules for farm workers.
Congress has obstructed（阻挠）efforts to create a more straightforward visa for agricultural workers that would let foreign workers stay longer in the U.S.and change jobs within the industry.【1】 .
Perhaps half of U.S. farm laborers are undocumented immigrants.As fewer such workers enter the country，the characteristics of the agricultural workforce are changing. Today's farm laborers.while still predominantly born in Mexico，are more likely to be settled rather than migrating and more likely to be married than single.They're also aging. At the start of this century，about one-third of crop workers were over the age of 35.Now more than half are.And picking crops is hard on older bodies.One oft-debated cure for this labor shortage remains as implausible as it's been all along：Native U.S.workers won't be returning to the farm.
Mechanization isn't the answer，either--not yet，at least. Production of corn，cotton，rice，soybeans，and wheat has been largely mechanized，but many high-value，labor-intensive crops，such as strawberries，need labor.【2】 .
As a result，farms have grown increasingly reliant on temporary guest workers using the H-2A visa to fill the gaps in the workforce.Starting around 20l2，requests for the visas rose sharply；from 2011 to 2016 the number of visas issued more than doubled.
【3】 . Even so，employers complain they aren't given all the workers they need.The process is cumbersome，expensive，and unreliable.One survey found that bureaucratic delays led H-2A workers to arrive on the job an average of 22 days late.The shortage is compounded by federal immigration raids，which remove some workers and drive others underground.
In a 2012 survey，71 percent of tree-fruit growers and almost 80 percent of raisin and berry growers said they were short of labor.Some western farmers have responded by moving operations to Mexico.【4】 . Little more than a decade later，the share of imports was 25.8 percent.
In effect，the U.S.can import food or it can import the workers who pick it.
A．One trouble with U.S. agricultural workforce is the high mobility of crop workers.
B．The H-2A visa has no numerical cap，unlike the H-2B visa for nonagricultural work，which is limited to 66，000 a year.
C．Even dairy farms，where robots do a small share of milking have a long way to go before they're automated.
D．From1998 to 2000，14.5percent of the fruit Americans consumed was imported.
E．To attract younger laborers to the farm work is the much argued solution to the labor shortage in U.S.farming.
F．If this doesn't change，American businesses，communities，and consumers will be the losers.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Fisherman Salvador was just trying to make a living on the sea with fellow fisherman Cordoba. Two days into the journey, disaster struck, and the two men would begin to face the greatest challenge of their lives.
The boat was loaded with tons of food and supplies, including 70 gallons of gasoline, 16 gallons of water, 50 pieces of sardines or bait (鱼饵). They also had a mobile phone kept safe in a plastic bag, a GPS, and a two-way radio. The two had never spoken before or worked together, but they liked fishing and both of them seemed to know what they were doing.
Two days later, the weather was getting worse and worse. Salvador was trying to remain calm, but Cordoba was not prepared. He held onto the rail (围栏) for dear life, vomiting (呕吐) and crying as the waves crashed around them. When the storm finally passed, Salvador noticed that they had drifted far away from land. To make matters worse, the motor stopped working. Salvador called his boss on the radio, but there was no response. Even worse was the fact that the GPS they brought with them stopped working.
The two men had been at sea for two months. While Salvador had become accustomed to catching and eating the animals available to them, Cordoba’s mental health and physical health began to become worse. Once he got sick from eating raw seabirds, he refused to eat at all. His own depression, fear and malnutrition (营养不良) finally killed him, leaving Salvador alone on the boat.
One day, after a terrible storm, Salvador found the sky was suddenly filled with shorebirds. He knew that he was heading for land at last. He must have been close. There, in the distance was a green Pacific atoll (环礁). It looked small and wild, but it was dry land and would have food and shelter.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Salvador struggled until he reached what appeared to be beach house.
