Question

Is it wrong to use someone else’s wireless (Wi-Fi) connection? Just recently, a man was arrested for doing just that. At that time, he was sitting in the street with a laptop(便攜式電腦) and using an unsecured(無安全保護措施) wireless connection to surf the Net. What do you think about this topic? Listen to the following different views on it.
For a start, if someone is using your Internet service or downloading, this will affect your speed of access or download limit. Also, it’s bad for Internet service providers. They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free. And finally, just imagine this: what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection is involved in an illegal activity? I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.

Basically, if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for, what’s the problem? It’s just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book, or watching someone else’s firework display. It’s not stealing.
Also, if you leave your wireless connection unsecured, then it is your own fault(過錯) if someone else uses it. Just as you wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked, or your car door open, neither should you leave your wireless connection open. By leaving your wireless connection open, you are inviting people to use it. Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router(路由器). And finally, haven’t the police got more important crimes to solve? They’re always saying how they haven’t got the manpower to solve real issues. But this is just ridiculous(荒謬的).

試題分析：本文論述了對于使用了別人的無線網絡算不算犯罪有兩個截然不同的觀點，Sandra Wilkins認為沒經別人的允許而使用別人的無限網絡，影響了本家的網速，這是犯罪，應該讓警察抓捕；而James Hoarley認為這不是偷，應該本家把自家的無線網絡設置一個安全系統(tǒng)不讓別人利用，警察可以去管其他的大事，沒有必要去管這種小事。
1.細節(jié)理解題。根據he was sitting in the street with a laptop(便攜式電腦) and using an unsecured(無安全保護措施) wireless connection to surf the Net.沒經允許用了別人的網絡，故選D。
2.細節(jié)理解題。根據I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.他認為是不可接受的，故選A。
3.細節(jié)理解題。根據It’s not stealing 和if you leave your wireless connection unsecured, then it is your own fault(過錯) if someone else uses it.故選C。
4.標題歸納題。根據全文可知無線網絡給人的煩惱，故選B。
考點：社會現象類短文閱讀。
點評：細節(jié)理解題可以通過定位詞解題，就是說我們在閱讀題干的時候迅速的把題干中有標記意義的詞或詞組劃記出來，然后用這個詞回到原文當中定位。并不是所有的我們在題干中找到的定位詞在原文中都會對應出現，有些情況下，原文中出現的只是題干定位詞的轉換形式。在這種情況下，劃出定位詞并在腦中留下印象也有利于我們在瀏覽文章是迅速發(fā)現文中定位詞的對應形式，從而找到題目答案的位置。
