A篇
Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape(风景) can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.
One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil's Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz(石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route(路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
1.How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest?( )
A.By teaming up with other photographers.
B.By shooting in the countryside or state parks.
C.By studying the geographical conditions.
D.By creating settings in the corn fields.
2.What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author?( )
A.Proper time management. B.Good shooting techniques.
C.Adventurous spirit. D.Distinctive styles.
3.What can we infer from the author's trip with friends to Devil's Lake?( )
A.They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.
B.They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.
C.They reached the shooting spot later than expected.
D.They had problems with their equipment.
4.How does the author find his photos taken at Devil's Lake?( )
A.Amusing. B.Satisfying. C.Encouraging. D.Comforting.

There has been tremendous concern recently over misinformation on social media. This concern is quite justifiable, as the consequences of believing false information are greatly affecting the individual and collective health.
Many people tend to fall for misinformation they encounter online. There is one influential explanation for this phenomenon. As the thinking goes, someone, who possesses very limited skills in finding and consuming digital content, creating digital content, and communicating it, is likely to have difficulty recognizing false information and thus is more vulnerable(易受影响的)to false information. As a result, these less digitally literate people may play a significant part in the spread of misinformation.
This argument sounds perfectly plausible. Yet very little research has actually investigated the link between digital literacy and the vulnerability to false information. There's even less understanding of the potential link between digital literacy and what people share on social media. A group of MIT researchers explored these potential associations by surveying 1,341 Americans.
In the experiment, the researchers first showed the participants two dozen news headlines about politics, half of which were accurate, and the other half of which were false. In the second phase, they conducted a series of tests: having the participants report their familiarity with various Internet-related terms and answer questions about how social media platforms decide what to show in their newsfeeds. At last, the participants were required to assess the accuracy of a set of headlines and point out their likelihood of sharing each headline on social media.
The researchers found “clear evidence” that digital literacy was a strong predictor of accuracy discernment. However, the results were “strikingly different” regarding sharing discernment.Digitally literate subjects were just as likely to share inaccurate information. Most surprisingly, even people with high digital literacy couldn't resist clicking “share” for false news.
This sounds odd. Although most people don't want to spread misinformation, social media is distracting:people are scrolling quickly, and their attention is drawn to social validation (社会认可度), such as how many likes their posts will get. So make sure a certain post is accurate before you click the “share” button.
1.What does the popular theory about people's believing online misinformation highlight?( )
A.The ability to engage in digital activities.
B.The popularity of consuming digital content.
C.The low cost of spreading misinformation online.
D.The significance of limiting false information online.
2.What does the word “plausible” underlined in paragraph 3 probably mean?( )
A.Distinctive. B.Sensible. C.Distant. D.Meaningful.
3.What did the researchers aim to do in the second phase of the study?( )
A.Test respondents' attitudes towards political news.
B.Figure out respondents' favorite online content.
C.Assess respondents' willingness to share posts.
D.Determine respondents' levels of digital literacy.
4.What can the researchers conclude about digital literacy from the experiment?( )
A.It can be enhanced through practice.
B.It varies due to people's political beliefs.
C.It can't stop the spread of misinformation.
D.It isn't helpful in identifying misinformation.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 1.___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
·Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they're special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it's easy to feel like you're missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 2.___
·Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it's actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 3.___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesser-known sights?
4.___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You'll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 5.___ You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there.
(
A.Visit during off-peak times.
B.So, should we stop traveling?
C.Travel for you and no one else.
D.Can overtourism be avoided then?
E.You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F.You'll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.

However, their joy was suddenly covered by a loud noise that came from behind Emily.
