FaceApp is getting popular,thanks to its old age filter that allows people to run their photos through the free app to see what they may look like 40 years in the future.However,its terms (条款) of service are also increasing worries about what data the app collects,who owns it,and how photos are processed(处理).The latest FaceApp's privacy policy was created on January 20,2017,and does little to address these worries in clear terms. While FaceApp's privacy policy throws some light on the app that makes users look old,it leaves more questions than answers.The main worry is whether it's clear to users that FaceApp is sending their photos to the cloud,instead of processing them privately on a person's equipment,and how long the company holds onto their photos. In a statement to Fortune,FaceApp CEO Yaroslav Goncharov said the company processes photos on the cloud,but "most" are deleted within 48 hours.The app's team is based in Russia,however the company says none of the data it processes is sent to the country. "The privacy policy is both pretty bad,and not much worse than the garden-variety policy you might come across from any app or service that didn't put time into trying to make its policy even somewhat understandable," says Lindsey Barrett,a teacher at Georgetown Law's Communications and Technology Clinic.From a privacy standpoint,she says "the company's statements about how it processes photos on the cloud,and when it deletes them,are helpful,but they don't make the terms of the privacy policy clearer." Users do have some rights.Goncharov says his support team is very busy,dealing with requests from users who want their data deleted from its servers.This can be done by going to settings,support,and choosing "report a bug." Users should type the word "privacy" in the subject line to send their request.(1)What worries people about FaceApp? ____ A.It will go out of date very soon.B.It may make people less hopeful.C.It may be collecting data secretly.D.It will charge users in the future.(2)What led people's worry to rise? ____ A.The unclearness of the terms of service.B.The country the company belongs to.C.The photos being over-processed.D.The places used to keep photos.(3)What do Barrett's words in Paragraph 4 mean? ____ A.FaceApp should provide more service.B.FaceApp still might affect people's privacy.C.The privacy policy is not known by people.D.The privacy policy is difficult to remember.(4)What right do users have according to Goncharov? ____ A.Saving their own photos.B.Reporting their request to the police.C.Making changes to privacy policies.D.Asking the support team to deleted their photos.

100.C 101.A 102.B 103.D
【导语】本文是说明文。FaceApp越来越受欢迎,这要归功于它的老年过滤器,它可以让人们通过免费的应用程序运行他们的照片。然而,它的服务条款也增加了人们对应用程序收集什么数据、谁拥有这些数据以及如何处理照片的担忧。
100.细节理解题。根据第一段中"However,its terms (条款) of service are also increasing worries about what data the app collects,who owns it,and how photos are processed (处理).The latest FaceApp's privacy policy was created on January 20,2017,and does little to address these worries in clear terms.(然而,它的服务条款也增加了人们对应用程序收集什么数据、谁拥有这些数据以及如何处理照片的担忧。最新的 FaceApp隐私政策是在2017年1月20日制定的,并没有明确解决这些担忧。)"和第二段中"The main worry is whether it's clear to users that FaceApp is sending their photos to the cloud,instead of processing them privately on a person's equipment,and how long the company holds onto their photos.(主要的担忧在于用户是否清楚FaceApp正在将他们的照片发送到云端,而不是通过个人设备私下处理,以及该公司保存他们照片的时间有多长。)"可知,人们担心FaceApp可能在秘密收集数据。故选C。
101.细节理解题。根据第一段中"The latest FaceApp's privacy policy was created on January 20,2017,and does little to address these worries in clear terms.(最新的 FaceApp隐私政策是在2017年1月20日制定的,并没有明确解决这些担忧。)"可知,服务条款的不明确引起了人们的担忧。故选A。
102.推理判断题。根据第四段中"From a privacy standpoint,she says "the company's statements about how it processes photos on the cloud,and when it deletes them,are helpful,but they don't make the terms of the privacy policy clearer."(从隐私的角度来看,她说"公司关于如何处理云端照片以及何时删除照片的声明是有帮助的,但是这些声明并没有使隐私政策的条款更加清晰。")"可知,第四段中Barrett认为这些声明并没有使隐私政策的条款更加清晰,由此可推知,她的话表明FaceApp仍然可能影响人们的隐私。故选B。
103.细节理解题。根据最后一段中"Users do have some rights.Goncharov says his support team is very busy,dealing with requests from users who want their data deleted from its servers. (用户确实有一些权利。Goncharov说他的支援团队非常忙碌,处理那些希望从服务器上删除数据的用户的请求。)"可知,Goncharov认为,用户有权要求支援团队删除他们的照片。故选D。
