Section A 26 Do people get happier or more foul-tempered as they age? Stereotypes of irritable neighbors【 C1】 _.scientists have been

18、trying to answer this question for【 C2】_.and the results have been conflicting. Now a study of several thousand Americans born between 1885 and 1980【 C3】 _that well-being indeed increases with age but overall happiness depends on when a person was born. 【 C4】 _studies that have compared older adults

19、 with the middle-aged and young have sometimes found that older adults are not as happy. But these studies could not【 C5】 _whether their discontent was because of their age or because of their different life experience. The new study, published online January 24 in Psychological Science,【 C6】 _out t

20、he answer by examining 30 years of data on thousands of Americans, including psychological measures of mood and well-being, reports of job and relationship success, and objective measures of health. The researchers found, after controlling for【 C7】 _such as health, wealth, gender, ethnicity and educ

21、ation, that well-being increases over everyone s lifetime.

23、J)establish K)variables L)ruled M)aside N)hardship O)measures 27 【 C1】 28 【 C2】 29 【 C3】 30 【 C4】 31 【 C5】 32 【 C6】 33 【 C7】 34 【 C8】 35 【 C9】 36 【 C10】 Section B 36 A)The Supreme Court unambiguously ruled Wednesday that privacy rights are not sacrificed to 21st century technology, saying unanimousl

24、y that police generally must obtain a warrant before searching the cell phone of someone they arrest. B)Modern cell phones “hold for many Americans the privacies of life,“ Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote for a court united behind the opinions expansive language. “The fact that technology now

25、 allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought.“ Roberts said that in most cases when police seize a cell phone from a suspect, the answer is simple: “Get a warrant.“ C)The ruling has no impact

26、 on National Security Agency data collection programs revealed in the past year or law enforcement use of aggregated digital information. But lawyers involved in those issues said the emphatic declarations signaled the justices interest in the dangers of government overreach. D)During oral arguments

27、, the justices seemed divided over the issue. But they united behind soaring language from Roberts about privacy concerns in the digital era in which 90 percent of Americans carry cell phones containing sensitive information. “The term cell phone is itself misleading shorthand: many of these devices

28、 are in fact minicomputers that also happen to have the capacity to be used as a telephone,“ Roberts wrote. “They could just as easily be called cameras, video players, calendars, tape recorders, libraries, diaries, albums, televisions, maps, or newspapers.“ E)The court is often criticized for being

29、 behind the times in considering technological advances. But Robertss opinion was filled with unpleasant facts“the average smart phone user has installed 33 applications, which together can form a revealing montage(蒙太奇 )of the users life“ and concerns about modern innovations such as cloud computing

30、“cell phone users often may not know whether particular information is stored on the device or in the cloud.“ F)Jeffrey Fisher, a Stanford law professor who argued on behalf of a defendant who said the search violated his constitutional right to be free of unreasonable searches, praised the ruling.

31、“The decision brings the Fourth Amendment into the digital age,“ Fisher said. “The core of the decision is that digital information is different. It triggers privacy concerns far more profound than ordinary physical objects.“ G)Ellen Canale, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said the department will

32、 work with law enforcement to ensure that the courts decision is implemented. “Our commitment to vigorously enforcing the criminal laws and protecting the public while respecting the privacy interests protected by the Fourth Amendment is unwavering,“ she said. H)In general, warrants are required for

33、 searches, but the court s precedents have said that a person s privacy expectations shrink considerably after an arrest. Police may protect themselves and others by searching the arrestee for weapons or securing evidence that might be destroyed. I)Roberts said he “cannot deny“ that the decision wil

34、l have an impact on the ability of law enforcement to combat crime. “Privacy comes at a cost,“ he wrote. But he said police can use their own technology to ensure that the information on cell phones that might contain critical evidence is not erased or lost. He also said there could be “case-specifi

35、c“ exceptions to the warrant rule. The court in the past had approved searching many objects found on a suspect, Roberts noted, including a cigarette pack found to have contained drugs. But allowing them to search a cell phone is very close to ransacking a person s home, he said. J)“Indeed, a cell p

36、hone search would typically expose to the government far more than the most exhaustive search of a house: A phone not only contains in digital form many sensitive records previously found in the home: it also contains a broad array of private information never found in a home in any form,“ he said.

37、For instance: “Past location information is a standard feature on many smart phones and can reconstruct someone s specific movements down to the minute, not only around town but also within a particular building.“ K)He said technology also makes it easier for law enforcement to secure approval from

38、a judge that a search is justified Canale said the Justice Department would work on that “We will make use of whatever technology is available to preserve evidence on cell phones while seeking a warrant, and we will assist our agents in determining when urgent circumstances or another applicable exc

39、eption to the warrant requirement will permit them to search the phone immediately without a warrant,“ she said L)Justice Samuel A. Alito put in an opinion approving the judgment, despite reservations about what it might mean for law enforcement. He also urged legislatures and Congress to get involv

40、ed. “Many forms of modern technology are making it easier and easier for both government and private entities to collect a great amount of information about the lives of ordinary Americans, and at the same time, many ordinary Americans are choosing to make public much information that was seldom rev

41、ealed to outsiders just a few decades ago,“ Alito wrote. “In light of these developments, it would be very unfortunate if privacy protection in the 21st century were left primarily to the federal courts using the blunt instrument of the Fourth Amendment.“ M)The court ruling came in the consideration

42、 of two cases in which lower courts arrived at different conclusions. N)One involved Brima Wurie, who was picked up in Boston on suspicion of selling cocaine in 2007. While he was in police custody, his phone kept receiving calls from a number identified as “my house.“ Using the telephone number and

43、 a reverse directory, police located his address, obtained a warrant to search his home, and found cocaine, marijuana(大麻 )and a weapon. In a 2-to-l decision, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals threw out the evidence against Wurie. The majority support a rule that said warrantless cell phone data s

44、earches are “categorically unlawful,“ given the “governments failure to demonstrate that they are ever necessary to promote officer safety or prevent the destruction of evidence.“ O)A case from California went the other way. David Leon Riley was pulled over in 2009 by a San Diego police officer for

45、an expired car registration. Police quickly discovered that Rileys driver s license was suspended and later found guns under the car s hood. Police also examined his smart phone and found language that led them to believe Riley had gang connections. A photograph on the phone linked him to a car that

46、 police said had been used to flee a shooting. Riley was accused of murder and other charges, convicted, and sentenced to more than 15 years in prison. A California court approved the officers actions, and similar conflicting decisions have been recorded across the country. 37 A case in which the co

47、urt support the officers actions of searching the cellphone of the suspect without a warrant. 38 Not only the court but also the legislatures and Congress should participate into the protection of privacy concerning cell phones. 39 New technologies can help to preserve evidence on a cell phone and t

48、he Justice Department should specify the circumstances in which immediate searches are necessary. 40 Roberts words about the multi-functions of the cellphone made a big influence on the justices opinions in the oral argument. 41 The Justice Department will cooperate with the law enforcement to ensur

49、e the implement of the new decision of the Supreme Court. 42 A cell phone search will reveal more personal information including the owners recent movements, than the search of a house. 43 A Stanford law professor praised the decision of the Supreme Court and said the digital information has a more profound influence on the privacy than physical objects. 44 A case in which the warrantless cell phone data searches are not favored by the majority. 45 Though warrants are needed when there is a search b
