“But with time, we have seen many Chinese movies with subtitles (字幕) and this helps many of my customers to understand them even better because the Chinese language is new to most of us,” Ndalama said.
In an interview with Xinhua, many young people were able to explain things they had learned from movies about China. “It’s always fun to watch Chinese movies. At first it was very hard to understand them because almost everything was different between them and us, such as language, food, dressing, dances. But now, there are a lot of things that I know about China through their movies. For example, I know about kungfu, the Great Wall, food like BiangBiang noodles and many other interesting things about China,” a young man said.

Technology helps us know more information. But the news is not always useful for us. We should find out whether it is necessary to read before we read it. And that’s why I think public schools should offer media literacy (媒体素养) lessons.
Media literacy is the ability to read and understand any kind of media. And it’s important in both life and learning. However, it is a skill that many people don’t seem to have. Wrong information can spread far and quickly when people don’t have media literacy. Last year, an unreal story about a woman winning the lottery (彩票) was shared more than 1.77 million times on social media.
However, there is a way to ▲ this problem. If we teach kids media literacy in schools, they will master (掌握) the skills. Many of these skills are simple—for example, being able to take a look at a news website and quickly tell if it is real.
The media will only get more crowded as time goes by. So it is important for kids to learn these skills. Learning to tell the fact from much information will help kids get right information when they grow up and learn more about the world.
68. Why should we learn to tell different information?
A. Because the news is not always useful for us. B. Because there are much useful information.
C. Because there are different types of information. D. Because there are too much information to learn.
69. How does the writer lead in the topic, at the beginning of the passage?
A. By telling the fact. B. By giving examples.
C By answering a question. D. By asking a question.
70. According to the passage, wrong information can spread far and quickly when ________.
A. people are interested in the topic B. it is shared on social media
C. people don’t have media literacy D. people have different opinions about it
71. What can we fill in the ▲ in Paragraph 3?
A. prepare B. solve C. compare D. face
72. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The Meaning of Media Literacy B. The Future of Media Literacy Lessons
C. The Way to Tell Useful Information D. The Importance of Having Media Literacy
【答案】68. A 69. A 70. C 71. B 72. D
【解析】
【导语】本文通过解释、举例子等方法向我们阐述了饱受媒体影响的今天,青少年应该被培养媒体素养。
【68题详解】
细节理解题。根据“But the news is not always useful for us. We should find out whether it is necessary to read before we read it. And that’s why I think public schools should offer media literacy (媒体素养) lessons.”可知,因为新闻并不总是正确或有用的。故选A。
【69题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Technology helps us know more information…And that’s why I think public schools should offer media literacy (媒体素养) lessons.”可知,作者在第一段通过陈述事实来开始文章的。故选A。
【70题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Wrong information can spread far and quickly when people don’t have media literacy.”可知,错误的信息能传播得远和快,是因为人们没有媒体素养。故选C。
【71题详解】
推理判断题。根据“ this problem. If we teach kids media literacy in schools, they will master (掌握) the skills.”可知,设空处后提到了问题,也提到了要教孩子们媒体素养,他们就能掌握这些技能,因此设空处可以说“解决”问题,solve“解决”符合题意。故选B。
【72题详解】
标题归纳题。本文通过解释、举例子等方法向我们阐述了饱受媒体影响的今天,青少年应该被培养媒体素养,因此选项D“媒体素养的重要性”符合题意。故选D。

①Do you like eating ice-cream? Do you know how ice-cream spread (传播) in the world?
②Chinese people ate the earliest ice many years ago. They put fruit juice into ice. Later, this idea spread to Italy. Nero, the emperor (国王) of Rome between 54 AD and 68 AD, liked to eat ice between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountains, get snow and quickly run back to the palace. The snow was mixed with fruit juice and honey.
③Around 1660, coffee shops serving ice-cream were very popular in Paris. Italians owned most of the coffee shops. A man from Italy named Francisco Procopio opened the first successful one.
④Ice-cream probably arrived in America in the early 1700s, and it then became the favorite of American presidents. George Washington had ice-cream machines in his kitchen. Dolley Madison, the wife of President Madison, was the first one to serve her guests ice-cream in the White House.
⑤Making ice-cream took lots of work: put cream, eggs, fruit, ice and salt together, and then to freeze the mix. Nancy Johnson, an American woman made the hand-turned ice-cream freezer in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Flusell opened the first ice-cream business in Baltimore, Maryland. His business quickly spread to other places.

BLANTYRE, Malawi, March 22 (Xinhua)—Chinese movies have become one of the favorites among the youth in Malawi. Because lots of Chinese movies are available in the country, many people can now enjoy them in video show halls, homes, and through the Internet.
Luis Ndalama, 38, a businessman who has been running a videodisc (影碟) business since 2006, said his customers (顾客) had been watching Chinese movies for a long time. However, because they didn’t understand Chinese, many of them used to have difficulty in following the movies.
“But with time, we have seen many Chinese movies with subtitles (字幕) and this helps many of my customers to understand them even better because the Chinese language is new to most of us,” Ndalama said.
In an interview with Xinhua, many young people were able to explain things they had learned from movies about China. “It’s always fun to watch Chinese movies. At first it was very hard to understand them because almost everything was different between them and us, such as language, food, dressing, dances. But now, there are a lot of things that I know about China through their movies. For example, I know about kungfu, the Great Wall, food like BiangBiang noodles and many other interesting things about China,” a young man said.

Technology helps us know more information. But the news is not always useful for us. We should find out whether it is necessary to read before we read it. And that’s why I think public schools should offer media literacy (媒体素养) lessons.
Media literacy is the ability to read and understand any kind of media. And it’s important in both life and learning. However, it is a skill that many people don’t seem to have. Wrong information can spread far and quickly when people don’t have media literacy. Last year, an unreal story about a woman winning the lottery (彩票) was shared more than 1.77 million times on social media.
However, there is a way to ▲ this problem. If we teach kids media literacy in schools, they will master (掌握) the skills. Many of these skills are simple—for example, being able to take a look at a news website and quickly tell if it is real.
The media will only get more crowded as time goes by. So it is important for kids to learn these skills. Learning to tell the fact from much information will help kids get right information when they grow up and learn more about the world.
68. Why should we learn to tell different information?
A. Because the news is not always useful for us. B. Because there are much useful information.
C. Because there are different types of information. D. Because there are too much information to learn.
69. How does the writer lead in the topic, at the beginning of the passage?
A. By telling the fact. B. By giving examples.
C. By answering a question. D. By asking a question.
70. According to the passage, wrong information can spread far and quickly when ________.
A. people are interested in the topic B. it is shared on social media
C. people don’t have media literacy D. people have different opinions about it
71. What can we fill in the ▲ in Paragraph 3?
A. prepare B. solve C. compare D. face
72. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The Meaning of Media Literacy B. The Future of Media Literacy Lessons
C. The Way to Tell Useful Information D. The Importance of Having Media Literacy
