According to Kozyreva，critical ignoring includes three strategies. The first is to design our environments，which includes removing low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around.Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.Similarly，we need to set up a digital environment where attention-attracting items are kept out of sight.Like dieting，if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”，he’ll surely fail.So，it’s better to keep them out of sight at first! The next is to evaluate the reliability of information，whose purpose is to protect you from false information.It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies，which are trustworthy. The last is：“Never feed the trolls.” Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm.Do not correct them，because they do not care about whether the information is correct. Annoying others is their goal.So，never respond to their bad behaviour with our attention. By using the above critical ignoring skills，we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victims(受害者) to those who try to control our attention，time and minds. 1.What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2? A.It offers more information. B.It features depressing stories. C.It saves time for Internet users. D.It seeks profits from each click. √ 细节理解题。根据第二段中“we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention...we are not customers but products，and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention”可知，注意力经济让我们接触盈利性广告，从我们的每次点击中寻求利润。故选D。 解析 2.Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3? A.To discuss the quality of information. B.To prove the benefits of healthy food. C.To show the importance of environments. D.To explain the effectiveness of willpower. √ 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.Similarly，we need to set up a digital environment where attention-attracting items are kept out of sight.”可推知，作者提到节食者需要保证家中没有不健康食物的例子是为了强调我们需要建立一个让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线的数字环境，即表明环境的重要性。故选C。 解析 3.What should we do to deal with Internet trolls according to the text? A.Turn a deaf ear to them. B.Review their intention. C.Correct their behaviour. D.Send hard facts to them. √ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm.Do not correct them，because they do not care about whether the information is correct.Annoying others is their goal.So，never respond to their bad behaviour with our attention.”可知，对于发挑衅帖子的人，最好对他们充耳不闻。故选A。 解析 4.What is the text mainly about? A.Importance of critical thinking in online search. B.Skills to practice critical ignoring in the digital age. C.Benefits of critical ignoring in the attention economy. D.Strategies to improve critical thinking for Internet users. √ 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But in the digital age，according to Anastasia Kozyreva，a famous psychologist，a more important skill is critical ignoring.”和第三段中“According to Kozyreva，critical ignoring includes three strategies.”可知，本文主要讨论了在数字时代批判性忽视技能的重要性以及如何实践批判性忽视的技能。故选B。 解析 B(此篇精读) Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s.Until about 2035，the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers.In 2080，the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members.To make this a bit more tangible for you，I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080.Her name is Shemsy.Shemsy is 13，and she is confident and loves learning. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望。 Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist.The institution was abolished(废除) as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment.Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages.They are where intergenerational learning happens，in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Every year，Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”.Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity.Shemsy works a lot collaboratively.Access to education is universal，and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly.Variability between students is expected and leveraged(利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength.Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets.She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally：Being Human and the History of Humanity. We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080，what does it look like，who does it serve，and how does it transform our societies? 5.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A.There are different types of education. B.The present education needs improvements. C.Education and economy are closely associated. D.The goal of future education is fundamentally different. √ 段落大意题。根据第一段中“Until about 2035，the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers.In 2080，the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members.”可知，第一段主要告诉我们未来教育的目标与现在是完全不同的。故选D。 解析 6.What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to? A.It accepts students of all ages. B.It promotes competition. C.It discourages individualized learning. D.It is all about play-based learning. √ 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Schools have been replaced with ‘Learning Hubs’ that are not restricted to certain ages.”可知，Shemsy去的学习中心接受所有年龄的学生。故选A。 解析 7.What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean? A.Tough. B.Satisfactory. C.Optional. D.Required. √ 词义猜测题。画线词前的两句介绍了基于个人特长和兴趣的个性化课程，结合画线词所在句中的still和“Being Human and the History of Humanity”可知，本句与上文形成转折，做人之道和人类历史应该是全球儿童必修的课程，画线词mandatory的意思是“必修的”，和required意思相近，故选D。 解析 8.What is the suitable title for the text? A.An Example to All B.A Vision for Education C.A Challenge for Education D.A Journey into the Future √ 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段可知，本文主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望，因此最恰当的标题是B选项“对教育的展望”。故选B。 解析 1.distinctive adj.独特的；特别的 2.tangible adj.有形的；实际的→intangible adj.无形的 3.restrict v.限制，控制 4.in line with与……相符；与……一致 5.lifelong pursuit毕生追求 6.collaboratively adv.合作地→collaborative adj.合作的 词汇积累 Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. 分析：本句是简单句。and 是并列连词，连接了两个并列的谓语“is actively engaged”和“has to propose”；“she would like to be involved in” 是省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句，修饰 “projects”；“to contribute to and serve her community” 作目的状语。 翻译：Shemsy积极参与设计她自己的教育，并且提出她想参与的项目，以为她的社区做出贡献和服务。 句式分析 The number of times I’ve been asked how I became a food and travel writer is too many to count.Frankly，I’m not exactly sure how to 1 . 语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者是一位旅游美食作家，和其他的美食家相比，作者更喜欢追溯食物的起源及其对文化的启示。在旅行和品尝美食的过程中，作者收获了很多。 Ⅳ.完形填空 1.A.write B.recommend C.count D.answer √ write写；recommend推荐；count计数；answer回答。根据上文“The number of times I’ve been asked how I became a food and travel writer is too many to count.”可知，作者经常被问及是如何成为一名美食和旅行作家的，对此，作者不知道该如何回答。故选D。 解析 Eating is a necessary part of life，and I appreciate good 2 ，whether it’s chicken and rice served from a hawker stand or a perfect dish in a Michelin-starred restaurant. 2.A.food B.environment C.appearance D.mood √ food食物；environment环境；appearance外观；mood情绪。根据上文“I became a food and travel writer”以及下文“chicken and rice”可知，作者是美食和旅行作家，所以他欣赏美味的食物。故选A。 解析 I’m not a 3 writer of food，since I 4 review restaurants in the traditional sense. 3.A.talented B.typical C.famous D.creative 4.A.usually B.currently C.always D.rarely √ √ 3.talented有才能的；typical典型的；famous著名的；creative创造(性)的。根据下文“Instead，I’m more interested in food’s and what it reveals about cultures.”可知，比起其他的美食家去评论食物和餐馆，作者更喜欢追溯食物的起源及其所体现的文化。所以作者认为自己不是一个典型的美食作家。故选B。 4.usually通常；currently目前；always总是；rarely很少。根据下文“Instead，I’m more interested in food’s and what it reveals about cultures.”可知，作者更喜欢追溯食物的起源及其所体现的文化，所以他很少评论传统意义上的餐馆。故选D。 解析 Instead，I’m more interested in food’s 5 and what it reveals about cultures. 5.A.origins B.impact C.destinations D.production √ origin起源；impact影响；destination目的地；production生产。根据下文“For instance，how did Mexican cacao get to Europe，and how did the Czech kolache find its way to Central Texas？”可知，作者举例子——墨西哥可可如何到达欧洲，捷克哥拉奇如何到达得克萨斯州中部，来说明作者喜欢追溯食物的起源。故选A。 解析 For instance，how did Mexican cacao get to Europe，and how did the Czech kolache find its way to Central Texas？Knowing the 6 behind such things is a 7 in history that goes far beyond a pretty dish presented on a plate. 6.A.path B.reason C.story D.intention 7.A.research B.mark C.lesson D.change √ √ 6.path路径；reason原因；story故事；intention打算。根据上文“For instance，how did Mexican cacao get to Europe，and how did the Czech kolache find its way to Central Texas？”可知，每个食物的起源背后都会有自己的故事，所以作者想了解它们背后的故事。故选C。 7.research研究；mark标记；lesson课；change改变。根据空后“in history that goes far beyond a pretty dish presented on a plate”可知，每个食物的起源背后都会有自己的故事，所以了解它们背后的故事也是上了一堂历史课。故选C。 解析 There’s not a more 8 way to get a taste of a place than by taking food-themed tours. 8.A.complex B.delicious C.natural D.enormous √ complex复杂的；delicious美味的，令人愉快的；natural自然的；enormous巨大的。根据下文“get a taste of a place than by taking food-themed tours”可知，作者认为以美食为主题的旅行是了解一个地方的最令人愉快的方式。故选B。 解析 Many tours include market visits，which are the best way to experience life as a(n) 9 . 9.A.shopper B.observer C.critic D.local √ shopper购物者；observer观察员；critic评论家；local当地人。根据下文“Markets are the hearts of communities and reveal not only the way a culture eats，but also how they and interact.”可知，参观市场是体验当地人生活的最好方式，因为市场是社区的中心。故选D。 解析 Markets are the hearts of communities and reveal not only the way a culture eats，but also how they 10 and interact. 10.A.feel B.travel C.communicate D.respond √ feel感觉；travel旅行；communicate交流；respond回应。根据空后的“interact”可知，市场是社区的中心，在这里我们可以了解人们交流和互动的方式。故选C。 解析 Traditions and culture are deeply 11 food and through cooking lessons. 11.A.included in B.rooted in C.kept in D.applied to √ (be) included in包括在；(be) rooted in扎根于；(be) kept in保存在；(be) applied to应用于。根据上文“Instead，I’m more interested in food’s________and what it reveals about
