Many Android and iPhone owners use Google services on their mobile phones or tablets. One of the most widely used location(位置)services is Google Maps. When someone uses Google Maps, information about times and locations are recorded and stored.
Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example,are designed to identify a user's location to provide local weather information. Even some Google Internet searches can result in the collection of information about exactly where a person was when the search was made.
Google says it collects the data to improve users' localized experiences. But such practices have also raised privacy concerns. Privacy activists have called on Google and other major technology companies to make it easier for users to turn off location services if they do not want to be tracked. In some ways, Google is clear about asking permission to use location information. For instance, Google Maps will seek approval from a user to give the app access to locations. If a user agrees to let Google collect location information over time, Google Maps will show this history in a "timeline" that shows the personas daily movements.
Google also has a "Location Historysetting. The company says any user can turn off Location History at any time. And when Location History is turned off for a users account, it is turned off for all equipment linked to that Google account. But the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.
Google states users can stop the saving of all location markers by turning off another setting, however, which is not clearly identified as being connected to location tracking. The setting is called "Web and App Activityn". It stores different kinds of information from Google apps and websites to a users Google account.

答案：1.B; 2.C; 3.D; 4.A
解析：1.考查推理判断。依据第二段的"Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example... weather information "可知,作者以天气预报应用软件为例说明了软件会记录用户的位置,用以表明除谷歌地图外,还有很多其他应用软件服务会使用位置跟踪工具。因此选B项。
2.考査细节理解。依据第二段的"But such practices have also raised privacy concerns” 和"Privacy activists... make it easier for users to turn off location services if they do not want lo be tracked”可知,隐私维权人士呼吁谷歌和其他科技公司让用户在不想被跟踪的情况下。更容易关闭定位服务。由此可知,他们要求谷歌尊重用户隐私,因此选C项。
3.考查推理判断。依据第四段的"The company says any user can turn off Location History at any time. . . Google account" 和"Bui the AP ... even if a user had turned off Location History"可知,谷歌表示当用户账号的位置历史设置被关闭时,与谷歌账号关联的所有设备的位置历史设置都被关闭了。然而,美联社发现用户关闭位置历史设置后,谷歌仍在保存位置历史(信息)。由此说明谷歌发表的声明与事实并不相符,因此选D项。
4.考查主旨大意。从文章的开头作者就谈到用户在使用谷歌地图之后,他们的信息就会被记录和保存,下文提到谷歌声明说用户可以自己关闭位置历史设置,但是美联社发现尽管关闭位置历史设置,用户依然被追踪,因此选项A正确。
