In the past, people used to send letters or make phone calls to stay in touch with others. Now, with social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, people can connect with friends and family from all over the world instantly.​ Social media allows people to share photos, videos, and updates about their lives. It’s a great way to stay informed about what’s happening with the people we care about. “I can see what my cousin is doing in Australia even though we haven’t seen each other in years,” said Maria Garcia, a regular social media user.​ However, social media also has its drawbacks. Some people spend too much time on social media and neglect their real-life relationships. They may also compare themselves to others and feel insecure. “I sometimes feel bad when I see my friends posting about their perfect lives,” said John Smith.​ It’s important to use social media in moderation. We should remember that what people post on social media is often a highlight reel of their lives, not the full picture. “Social media can be a great tool, but it’s not a replacement for face-to-face communication,” said Dr. James Wilson, a psychologist.​ 1．How has the Internet changed the way we communicate?​ A．It has made communication slower.​ B．It has made it harder to connect with people.​ C．It has allowed instant communication with people worldwide.​ D．It has replaced all other forms of communication.​ 2．What can people do on social media?​ A．Only send letters.​ B．Share photos, videos, and updates.​ C．Make phone calls.​ D．Meet people in person.​ 3．What is a drawback of social media?​ A．It allows people to stay in touch with friends.​ B．It can make people spend too much time online.​ C．It helps people feel more secure.​ D．It provides a full picture of people’s lives.​ 4．What does Dr. James Wilson suggest?​ A．Using social media as much as possible.​ B．Avoiding social media completely.​ C．Using social media in moderation.​ D．Replacing face-to-face communication with social media.​ 五、阅读七选五 As a well-known weather presenter, there are times when I’m walking around a supermarket, and a shopper will approach me with a complaint: “I hosted my son’s wedding on Saturday, and you told me it was going to rain, but it didn’t. Why did you get it wrong?” Over my career, forecasting has improved almost beyond recognition. Liz Bentley, a professor of meteorology at Reading University, notes that a one-day forecast is now correct more than 90% of the time. 1 A YouGov survey last summer found that 37% of British adults didn’t trust the weather forecast “very much” or “at all”. So why, with all our wealth of knowledge and powerful forecasting technology, do some people still perceive the weather forecasts as incorrect? 2 In today’s world, we have access to instant information. We can adjust the temperature of our fridges or diagnose problems with our cars using our smartphones in seconds. So why can’t we find out whether it’s going to rain on our street at 2 pm on Sunday with 100% accuracy? 3 Meteorology (气象学) produces an overwhelming amount of data; it’s difficult to turn it into a brief, attention-grabbing prediction for TV or digital app. It means that even when we are technically correct, some viewers might still be confused. The real challenge lies in the tricky nature of meteorology. 4 A slight error — even as small as 0.01°C — in the initial data can produce a drastically different result. It’s important to remember that forecasting is about predicting. The future of weather forecasting may soon be transformed by Artificial Intelligence (AI). As AI is more flexible, users will soon have access to frequently-changing forecasts. But there are upsides too. The advances in AI and forecasting offer exciting possibilities, including the prospect of much longer-term, more accurate forecasts. Perhaps one day, I’ll meet a mother who asks me to predict weather at her son’s wedding six months from now. 5 A．It’s a delicate science. B．Viewers are no longer interested. C．However, there are still gaps in public trust. D．Part of the answer is in our rising expectations. E．And then I might be able to give a better answer. F．We will make sure technology bugs never happen. G．Another reason is how the information is communicated.
