Just two months into 2024,several news organizations are already falling apart.The Messenger shut down in January.BuzzFeed announced it would cut 16%of its 32 staff. Hlundreds of local outlets have not been so lucky,closing their doors as advertising dollars disappear. These news organizations are crucial to the communities-both local and national-that they serve.They work hard to ensure that their platforms are 33 in facts and free of abuse. You're not going to find articles promoting body dysmorphia()in the pages of The New York Times.The Wall Street Journal is not going to casually provide carelessly risky investment advice. CNN will not enrich itself through indecent photographs of minors. If any of these companies got involved in such behavior,it would be a major scandal.That would not only leave their reputations scarred but also chase away advertisers.As a result,these organizations 34 heavily in content review. But the technology platforms,for some reason,are judged by different rules.It's not fair to say the road is35 with examples pointing to bad behavior.It's buried in them.Time and time again,companies like Instagram,YouTube,TikTok and others have been caught allowing harmful content to exist on their platforms.In many cases,such content has not only been permitted to exist, but encouraged by powerful algorithms ()What happens when the very humans who control the platforms find out about such content and are questioned about it?Well,they often just release vaguc public statements.Most of them fail to36 the root causes in a meaningful way. As a matter of fact,the advertising dollars that once supported the carefully 37 gardens of traditional media outlets have moved to a world which prefers profits and growth over the public good. To be fair,brands would likely prefer to advertise on the platforms of responsible media actors versus the risky world of social media.But Big Tech,with a larger and younger audience,offers these brands much more effective targeting.To make matters worse,news companies have been far too slow to adapt to the changing technological 38.They often come with ugly websites CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App 26 and apps and lack the tools necessary for targeting39 audiences that advertisers want to reach. It's a disaster that will have great impacts on civilization in the years ahead.News organizations,crucial to a functioning society.are being hollowed out ()if not dying.

The Unbelievable Slowness of Thinking People tend to have the sense that their inner thoughts and feelings are much richer than what they can express in rcal time.Elon Musk has spoken publicly about this "bandwidth ( problem."Musk is so..41 by this problem,in fact,thai he has made it one of his long-term goals to create an app that allows the human brain to communicate directly with a computer. 42 by the slow speed of speaking or writing. But Musk would probably be 43 According to new research published in Neuron. human beings think at a fixed.extremely slow speed of about 10 bits per second.In contrast,human sensory systems gather data at about one billion bits per sccond.This biological inconsistency might contribute to the44 feeling that our mind can engage in seemingly infinite thoughts at the same time. "The human brain is much less 45 than we might think,"says Markus Meister.a neuroscientist at the California Institute of Technology."It's incredibly slow when it comes to making decisions,and it's ridiculously slower than any of the devices we interact with."Ile also highlights that our brain can only do one thing-46-at a time.So even if Musk managed to hook his brain up to a computer,Meister says,he still wouldn't be able to communicate with it any faster than he could if he used a telcphone. The new rescarch builds on decades of psychology studies showing that humans 47 notice only a small portion of information from their sensory experience."We can only pay attention to so much,and that's what becomes our conscious experience and enters memory," Meister says. Meister collected data from studies across different 48 including psychology, neuroscience,technology,and human performance.From research over nearly a century,they found that human cognition has repeatedly been 49as functioning between about 5 and 20 bits per second,with an average figure of around 10 bits per sccond."This was a very surprising number,"Zheng says.50.this finding,a conclusion has been drawn that the total amount of information a person can learn across their lifetime could comfortably 51 a small thumb drive (USB flash disk). 5 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App Iluman sensory systems such as sight,smell,and sound, -52 _,operate much faster, the authors found--about 100,000,000 times the rate that cognition docs."When you put these numbers together.you realize,oh my god,there's this huge gap,"Meister says. The rich information relayed by our senses also contributes to a false notion that we 53 the extreme detail and contrast all around us But that's"demonstrably not true," Meister says.When people are asked to describe what they see outside of the center of their gaze, they“barcly make out anything,”he says.. 54,we could be having lots of different thoughts and direct our cognition in lots of different ways,but in practice,we can only have one thought at a time,"Meister says.Another problem that contributes to our overinflated sense of our own mind,he adds,is that we have no marker of comparison.There's no way to step outside ourselves to 55 that this is really not much to be so proud of."he says. 41.A.outlined B.bothered C.justified D.overcome 42.A.uninfluenced B.undefined C.unlicensed D.unlisted 43 A.thrilled B.secured C.disappointed D.relieved 44.A.genuine B.rigid C.false D.remarkable 45.A.realistic B.natural C.influential D.impressive 46.A.slowly B.quickly C.occasionally D.massively 47.A.completely B.obviously C.objectively D.sclectively 48.A.means B.fields C.missions D.occupations 49.A.multiplied B.orbited C.measured D.operated 50.A.Regardless of B.Based on C'.In place of D.Contrary to 51.A.fit into B.grow into C.evolve into D.transform into 52.A.as a result B.for instance C.in addition D.on the other hand 53.A.notice B.persuade C.predict D.recover 54.A.【n reality B.In a sense C.In contrast D.In prineiple 55.A.protest B.resist C.recognize D.separate Section B(19分) Directions:Read the following passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.lor each of them,there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Growing up in America as a child of first-generation Chinese immigrants,I was used to living in two worlds.But as I grew older the Chinese side faded away,inch by inch.While I happily accepted the bills tucked in red envelopes that adults gave to children for L.unar New Year and consumed my weight in mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival,I didn't feel connected to the culture. CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap Before my children were born I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin )I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their grandparents,the first language their mother encountered. Parenting books advised narrating your actions while with your baby,so I started digging out long-buried words:"ball"."eat","sleep","play".However,as this exercise continued,the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious.One morning,when my daughter asked"What is the word for'arm'?"I panicked.Had I already reached the boundarics of my knowledge? Luckily,these days the ready availability of Chinese language media-from books to television shows to music-is a much-needed boon to parents like me:second-generation immigrants who want to pass the language on to their children. The first time I stepped into the local library in my Bay Area hometown,I was amazed to find a well-stocked Chinese section in the children's wing.The tale of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang'e immediately caught my daughter's imagination. When I see my son converse with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year,the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. My youngest child recited Li Bai's"Quiet Night Thoughts"for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool last fall.For generations of Chinese children,it's the first piece of literature they memorize.It's performed for all occasions,but most often for the Moon Festival.Its four lines describe how the glow of the full moon reminds the poet of his distant home. Decades ago,my Chinese teacher explained to me how the steadfast(坚定不移的)moon connects all those who seck its light,no matter how far apart they are.So,too,does language.It influences culture and history and memory,and connects future generations to past ones. Before my bed the bright moon's glow Seems like frost on the ground Raising my head,I gaze at the moon Lowering my head,I think of home My son's voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder lit up my father's face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson:verses that had been spoken by my father and my grandparents when they were students in China,and by countless boys and girls before that. 56.We can learn from the first paragraph that the author A.was brought up in an all-English environment B.once lost her a sense of belonging to Chinese culture C.was deeply attracted by Chinese culture when she was a child D.preferred Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival to any other festival 57.According to the article,how did the author teach her children Mandarin? 1 By sending them to a Chinese school in the Bay Area. 2By bringing them to the local library to read Chinese books. CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap 3 By speaking the words of her actions in Mandarin while with them. By making use of Chinese language media,such as books.television shows and music. A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④ 58.According to the article,when she realized that her children were very interested in Chinese culture,the author A.felt reconnected to Chinese culture B.was full of hope for the inheritance of Chinese culture C.thought of her own experience of learning Chinese as a child D.felt that all her efforts to teach them Mandarin had been worth it 59.What's the main idea of this article? A.Language plays an important role in passing down family traditions. B.Language and culture are capable of connecting people throughout time and space C.Lcarning Chinese poems is a great way to deepen your knowledge of the Chinese language. D.Knowing the Chincse language will provide you with a better understanding of Chinese culture.

(C) As the sun set he remembered,to give himself more confidence,the time in the tavern ( at Casablanca when he had played the hand game with the great negro from Cienfuegos who was the strongest man on the docks.They had gone one day and one night with their elbows on a chalk line on the table and their forearms straight up and their hands gripped tight.Each one was trying to force the other's hand down onto the table.There was much betting and pcople went in and out of the room under the kerosene (lights and he had looked at the arm and hand of the negro and at the negro's face.They changed the referces cvcry four hours after the first eight so that the referees could sleep.Blood came out from under the fingernails of both his and the negro's hands and they looked each other in the eye and at their hands and forearms and the bettors went in 9 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap and out of the room and sat on high chairs against the wall and watched.The walls were painted bright bluc and werc of wood and the lamps threw their shadows against them.The negro's shadow was huge and it moved on the wall as the breeze moved the lamps. The odds would change back and forth all night and they fed the negro rum (and lighted cigarettes for him.Then the negro,after the rum,would try for a tremendous effort and once he had the old man,who was not an old man then but was Santiago El Campeon,nearly three inches off balance.But the old man had raiscd his hand up to dead even again.He was sure then that he had the negro,who was a finc man and a great athlete,beaten.And at daylight when the bettors were asking that it be called a draw and the referce was shaking his head,he had unleashed his effort and forced the hand of the negro down and down until it rested on the wood.The match had started on a Sunday morning and ended on a Monday morning. Many of the bettors had asked for a draw becausc they had to go to work on the docks loading sacks of sugar or at the Havana Coal Company. Otherwise everyonc would have wanted it to go to a finish.But he had finished it anyway and before anyone had to go to work. For a long time after that everyone had called him The Champion and there had been a return match in the spring.But not much money was bet and he had won it quite easily since he had broken the confidence of the negro from Cienfuegos in the first match.After that he had a few matches and then no more.Ile decided that he could beat anyone if he wanted to badly enough and he decided that it was bad for his right hand for fishing.Ile had tried a few practice matches with his left hand.But his left hand had always been a traitor and would not do what he called on it to do and he did not trust it. Quoted from The Old Man and the Sea 63.Since the old man is the main character,in the hand game,why does Hemingway put more efforts in describing his opponent the negro?

D.The negro was not as strong and athletic as the old man had expected him to be. (D) At the start of nearly every doctor's visit,chances are you will be asked to step on a scale and get your weight measured for that day's exam record.But many conversations around weight have become an obstacle,not a help,in the campaign to make people healthier. Higher body masses are associated with increased risk for diseases like hypertension,diabetes and coronary disease.Many studies of hundreds of thousands of patients have shown that heavier people are at higher risk for these illncsses.But the big picture is not the whole picture. Researchers have identified a subset of obese people considered to be "metabolically healthy"- meaning they do not exhibit elevated blood pressure or the diabetes indicator called insulin resistance,for example.Although the numbers vary greatly depending on the study,the "metabolically healthy"population could account for anywhere from 6 to 75 percent of obese individuals. One interesting report published in 2016 found that a higher body mass index(or BMI,the ratio of weight to height)"only moderately increased the risks for diabetes among healthy subjects" and that unhealthy thin pcople were twicc as likely to get diabetes as healthy fat people.Clearly. there is more to the cquation than weight. Despite such findings,doctors routinely recommend dieting for weight loss as a means to "treat"poor health indicators such as high cholesterol and insomnia in fat patients.Virtually no diet works in the long term.The result:95 to 98 percent of those who attempt to lose weight fail, and up to two thirds end up heavier than when they began.Spending years trapped in a cycle of losing weight,regaining it,then losing it again is associated with poorer health outcomes.It is time that doctors give up the scale-centric health care practice and focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health Among the more dangerous by-products of weight-centric health care are the increased shame experienced by the overweight.The well-reported anecdotal experience of innumerable fat people is that doctors often prescribe weight loss without examining them,running tests or performing other normal procedures for conditions that thin people would be screened for automatically. Research over the past two decades has shown that health professionals have negative attitudcs toward fat people,as the authors of a large review paper wrote in 2013 in Current Obesity Reports. Not only that but doctors'appointments with fat patients are shorter on average,and physicians routinely use negative words in their medical histories of such people.Such practices keep people from regular annual exams and prevent the detection of serious underlying conditions. To practice evidence-based medicine,doctors should stop relying on weight alone as an indicator of health.Instead practitioners should focus on behavioral changes to improve health outcomes. 11 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap 67.By"the big picture is not the whole picture"(paragraph 2),the writer means that A.there are some exceptions B.more evidence should be presented C.some health risk has been neglected D.people don't care much about health 68.Why does the writer mention the report published in 2016? A.To call attention to those who are thin but unhealthy. B.To explain what"moderately increase"means in real life C.To argue against BMI being used as an indicator of fatness. D.To show that weight may not be associated with poor health 69.What can be inferred from the passage about fat people? A.Most of them worry about their weight. B.Some of them aren't diagnosed correctly. C.They need at least onc exam every half ycar. D.They don't follow doctors'recommendations. 70.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Weight-watching health care is common but may do harm. B.More care should be taken of those overweight people. C.Fat people are sometimes treated unfairly in society D.It's time that we should be more health-conscious. (E) Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more seutences than you need. A.The sweets quickly gained popularity across the country. B.For a time.the sweets had trouble finding favor with customers. C. The sweet maker took the opportunity to open more shops in other cities. D.At the same time,it enabled White Rabbits to gain new followers across the Pacific. E The company has since launched perfumes,a shower gel and hand cream. F When this American image fell out of favor in the 1950s,da baitu,a big white rabbit,took its place. Bunny Power:White Rabbit's Reinvention When it comes to images of rabbits,many Chinese people would think of White Rabbit,a well-known brand of sweets.As onc of the few old brands still thriving,White Rabbit has a thing or two to teach other companies about how to stay popular among consumers. China's first domestic toffees were produced in 1943 with Mickey Mouse on the wrapper. 71 The stylized blue-and-white cartoon bunny became an icon.In 1972, 12 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App 6 Zhou Enlai,then China's premier,presented White Rabbits to Richard Nixon on his first visit to China. The fortunes of the sweet soured in the 1970s.As foreign goods flooded in,White Rabbits lost their popularity.Guan Sheng Yuan,the state-owned company that makes them,used the treat's nutritional property as its selling point.It said seven swects equals a glass of milk in terms of protein content.The strategy,however,didn't work well. 72 The brand was even affected by the food safety scandals of a brand of powdered milk in 2008. However,the bunnies fought back.In 2018 the first batches of White Rabbit lip balm sold out within hours.The following year,the producer teamed up with Godiva,a chocolate company,to make White Rabbit ice cream,and people queued for hours to buy the newly launched White Rabbit milk tea at a shop in Shanghai. 73 In 2021 Guan Sheng Yuan opened a shop in Shanghai selling a wide range of branded products. The rabbit has reinvented itself many times.Most recently,it has taken advantage of the trend of guo chao,which has been applied to trendy consumer goods with traditional Chinese cultural clements.It also teamed up with the American fashion company Coach,helping it to produce giant bunnies on handbags as well as dresses,denim jackcts and a gold White-Rabbit nccklace.Tapping into a sense of nostalgia ()the collaboration gave Coach a boost in the Chinese market. 74 Looking to the future,SK-Il,a Japanese skincare brand,launched a limited-edition White Rabbit face serumn.Foreign markets provide an additional carrot.The candies have diversified into a whole range of flavors,including peanut,red bean,mustard and durian,and are exported to more than 50 countries.That's a wholc different rabbit hole.
