Ⅲ.阅读理解
Twentyfive years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creatively minded, to take up singing.But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company, the“dream job”of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or“vlogger”.The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal jobs.
The only reason for this change is undoubtedly the Internet and social media.They have made it so much easier to reach a global user, without having to get a job in show business in the traditional way.
“In years gone by, the biggest stars were shaped and trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become an icon(偶像),”a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said in a news release.“These selfmade stars record their hobbies to an admiring fanbase.Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”
However, what people see is only the great side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful get fame and fortune.There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still remain dreams.
This is why although vloggers are popular, some young people choose jobs that don't necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club.It's an online platform(平台) for runners to keep a record of their races.He told the website Zippia that his job allows him to express his thought, and is always a learning experience.And that's enough for him.

Ⅳ.七选五
In the past few years, it's become alarmingly clear that misinformation has significant negative impacts on society. 1 It might be an article that misrepresents the broader context of a news event or, worse, an article that intentionally cheats readers about the facts of an event.From influencing the outcome of elections to increasing doubt about health care practices such as vaccine use, misinformation can be dangerous. 2 First, social media provide an easy platform for misinformation.Second, our brains like the dramatic and fun stories that misinformation delivers.And third, we like sharing those kinds of contents!
When you use social media, the“social”aspect usually overweighs your good sense about factchecking or source credibility(可靠性).It feels like you have control over whose posts you see. 3 Social media usually provide casual ways to stay in touch with people and view interesting contents, as well as places to relax.But this means that when you mindlessly browse, you are exposed to misinformation while your guard is down.
We can't blame the spread of misinformation only on social media, though. 4 These kinds of articles have high entertainment value.This makes them more attractive than the daily political news.
People who produce misinformation know that we like reading these kinds of stories, so they keep making them. 5 To get out of the cycle, you can practice good social media behavior by remembering to“Stop, Reflect, and Verify (核实)”
A.In this way, we create a story cycle.
B.What are the impacts of misinformation?
C.Why does misinformation spread so easily?
D.That's why it's easy to trust things you see on social media.
E.Misinformation is attractive to us because it is usually dramatic and fun.
F.Misinformation refers to the spread of incorrect or misleading information.
G.And, unfortunately, we complete a cycle of misinformation when we read and share it.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了错误信息的负面影响,并告诉读者可以通过记住“停下来,反思和验证”来练习良好的社交媒体行为。
1.F 上文“In the past few years, it's become alarmingly clear that misinformation has significant negative impacts on society.(在过去的几年里,令人担忧的是,错误信息对社会有着重大的负面影响。)”提到错误信息有负面影响,F项中refers to是关键词,承接上文,介绍错误信息的概念,所以F项“错误信息指的是不正确或误导信息的传播。”符合语境。故选F项。
2.C 下文“First, social media provide an easy platform for misinformation...,we like sharing those kinds of contents!(首先,社交媒体提供了一个容易产生错误信息的平台。其次,我们的大脑喜欢错误信息传递的戏剧性和有趣的故事。第三,我们喜欢分享这些内容!)”介绍了错误信息传播的三个原因,所以C项“为什么错误信息如此容易传播?”提出问题,引起下文,符合语境。故选C项。
3.D 上文“When you use social media, the‘social’ aspect usually overweighs your good sense about factchecking or source credibility(可靠性).It feels like you have control over whose posts you see.(当你使用社交媒体时,‘社交’方面通常会夸大你对事实核查或消息来源可信度的良好判断力。感觉你可以控制你看到谁的帖子)”讲的是你看到社交媒体上的信息时,倾向于接受,不会理性分析,D项“这就是为什么你很容易相信你在社交媒体上看到的东西。”是这种想法带来的后果,符合语境。故选D项。
4.E 下文“These kinds of articles have high entertainment value.(这类文章具有很高的娱乐价值)”说明了文章的娱乐价值,选项E中 dramatic and fun是关键词,与下文high entertainment value呼应,所以E项“错误信息之所以吸引我们是因为它通常是戏剧性的和有趣的”符合语境。故选E项。
5.G 上文“People who produce misinformation know that we like reading these kinds of stories, so they keep making them.(制造错误信息的人知道我们喜欢读这类故事,所以他们继续制造)”提到了我们喜欢读这类故事,选项G中read and share是关键词,和上文是顺承关系,所以G项“不幸的是,当我们阅读和分享信息时,我们完成了一个错误信息的循环。”符合语境,故选G项。
Ⅴ.语法填空

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。通过说明一个独特的电视节目的表现形式, 来表明《见字如面》这个电视节目对中国文学水平的提升所起的作用及其重要性。
1.to 考查介词。句意:但是一个电视节目《见字如面》 将有助于把这种古老的保持联系的方式带回到现在。这里back to 是介词搭配, 表示回到……, 连接到……, 这里是连接到现在, 故填to。
2.its 考查形容词性物主代词。句意:《见字如面》灵感来源于一个英国2013年发布的节目Letters Live。这里空格后面是idea, 名词前面使用形容词性物主代词, 故填its。
3.shows 考查名词复数。句意:两个表演都以著名的男女演员为主要组成部分。这里根据上下文确定应该使用一般现在时态, 动词feature为动词原形, 所以主语为复数形式。故填shows。
4.are 考查主谓一致。句意:但是没有吸人眼球的视觉效果或者任何常规的娱乐圈活动。考查there be的就近原则。在or前面的中心词为effects, 是复数, 故谓语动词be应该是复数形式, 故填are。
5.where 考查定语从句。这里主句是it's just a live event, 先行词是event, 后面是定语从句。由于event作后面定语从句的地点状语, 因此选用关系副词引导定语从句。表示地点的关系副词为where。故填where。
6.creativity 考查名词。作of的宾语用名词形式。故填creativity。
7.to experience 考查非谓语动词。句意:通过听它们被朗诵, 就好像带我们回到过去的时光去经历我们可能永远都没有机会经历的那一刻。为了经历那一刻, 表示目的用动词的不定式。故填to experience。
8.published 考查非谓语动词。句意:相比出版了的文章, 信件也自然地带有私人情感。这里表示已经被出版了的文章, come为本句谓语动词, 故应该使用非谓语动词的过去分词作定语修饰texts。故填published。
9.naturally 考查副词。使用副词作状语修饰动词come。故填naturally。
10.promoting 考查非谓语动词。句意:和庆祝痛苦、快乐、智慧和幽默一样,《见字如面》从首映就为提升中国文学的水平做出了贡献。contribute to后面接ing动名词形式作介词宾语。故填promoting。
