A
Last week after my motorcycle crashed on the freeway, I wanted only two simple things from technology: to call 911 and to tell loved ones where I could be found. 1 When she opened Google Maps, she could see precisely where I was.
For years, tech companies have offered different ways for people to tell one another where they are. 2 If used carelessly, location tracking may hurt your privacy. But used thoughtfully, it can be a powerful and efficient communication tool. 3
·When you make plans to meet friends somewhere like a movie theater, get into the habit of sharing your location for a short duration, like an hour. This way you can skip saying things like “I'm on my way” or “I'm running a few minutes behind” because people can simply follow you on the map.
· 4 Location sharing can be useful for being considerate of your partner's time and space. For example, I am less likely to text my partner when I see she is at the office or driving on a freeway, but I will text when I see she is at the grocery store to ask her to pick something up.
·Next time you plan an event at a large outdoor space, do your friends a favor: 5 Wandering around aimlessly in a crowded open space can be annoying.
A．Here are my suggestions for the best times to use it.
B．For safety reasons, avoid sharing your location publicly.
C．Use an app to share your current location so they can find you.
D．Consider sharing your location occasionally with your partner.
E．There are many ways for third parties to find out where we are.
F．Yet location tracking has caused controversy for the last decade.
G．Before calling 911, I texted my partner who was already tracking my location with an app.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。科技的发展使得共享位置成为可能，但什么情况下适合共享呢？这，是一个问题。
1．解析：根据本空前面的“call 911 and to tell loved ones”可以锁定G项中的“calling 911, I texted my partner”。代入后，“在打救援电话前，我给已经在使用应用程序跟踪我位置的爱人发了信息”符合语境。
答案：G
2．解析：根据本空后面的“If used carelessly...But used thoughtfully...”可知，F项“然而在过去十年，位置跟踪引发了很大的争议”符合语境，是对后面两句话的概括。
答案：F
3．解析：下文提出了三点关于共享位置的建议，故A项“在此我将就什么时候共享位置最好提出我的建议”符合语境。
答案：A
4．解析：根据本空后面的partner可以锁定D项中的partner。代入后，“考虑偶尔和你的爱人共享位置”符合语境，该句也是本段的主题句。
答案：D
5．解析：根据本空前面的“Next time you plan an event at a large outdoor space, do your friends a favor”可知，C项“使用应用程序来共享你的当前位置，这样他们就可以找到你”符合语境，是对前面内容的解释说明。其中的they指代your friends。
答案：C
