Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
On streets all around the world today, people are performing. Musicians sing or play instruments while other people may juggle (玩杂耍), dance or mime. Some perform as living statues, standing perfectly still in costumes and makeup designed to make them look like statues. Artists perform out in the open, allowing people to enjoy their art for free. ___67___.
For up-and-coming artists, busking (街头卖艺), or street performance, is a great way to spread awareness of their talent. They may leave business cards out when they perform or sell CDs. Busking is also a way to practice playing in front of a crowd. ___68___.
It’s important for street performers to think carefully about where they’ll perform. Obviously, places with more people mean they can earn more money. A covered spot will keep the performers comfortable, out of the sun and the rain, But they need to avoid blocking shop entrances. And in some cities, certain artists have places where they typically perform. New performers should respect them and wait until they’re done to set up there. ___69___, telling each other when they’ll finish up or even saving each other places.
If you’re a musician and want to busk, have a variety of songs ready. This is especially important if you're performing in front of a shop or a seating area. Playing the same three songs over and over will get annoying really quickly. One performer recommends having at least an hour’s worth of music prepared.
Finally, have fun. Remember to look up, smile and interact with your audience wherever you are. ___70___.
A. But street performers often help each other out
B. And on a good day, artists can earn a good amount of money
C. Their purpose of performing is to make themselves known to others
D. Most, however, leave a hat or an instrument case out for tips
E. This will make the show more enjoyable for them and for you
F. In this way, they’re likely to be mature more quickly
【答案】67. D 68. B 69. A 70. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在世界各地街头艺术家在街头演出的一些具体情况。
【67题详解】
根据空前“On streets all around the world today, people are performing. Musicians sing or play instruments while other people may juggle (玩杂耍), dance or mime.Some perform as living statues, standing perfectly still in costumes and makeup designed to make them look like statues. Artists perform out in the open, allowing people to enjoy their art for free.( 今天,世界各地的街道上,人们都在表演。音乐家唱歌或演奏乐器,而其他人可能会玩杂耍,跳舞或默剧。有些人表演时就像活的雕像,穿着让他们看起来像雕像的服装,画着妆,一动不动地站着。艺术家们在露天演出,让人们免费欣赏他们的艺术。)”可知空前主要是讲在世界各地街头艺术家的免费表演方式,所以空处应继续讲其他形式的表演方式,D项“Most, however, leave a hat or an instrument case out for tips(然而,大多数人会把帽子或乐器盒留在外面收小费)”中的“however”表示相对于免费表演的收费表演形式,承接上文,符合上下文语境。故选D项。
【68题详解】
根据空前“For up-and-coming artists, busking (街头卖艺), or street performance, is a great way to spread awareness of their talent. They may leave business cards out when they perform or sell CDs. Busking is also a way to practice playing in front of a crowd.(对于崭露头角的艺术家来说,街头表演是传播他们才华的一种很好的方式。当他们表演或卖CDs的时候,他们可能会把名片留下。街头表演也是在人群面前练习演奏的一种方式)”可知空前是在讲街头表演对于崭露头角的艺术家的好处,空处位于段末,对本段内容进行总结,B项“And on a good day, artists can earn a good amount of money.(运气好的时候,艺术家可以赚很多钱。)”符合上下文语境。故选B项。
【69题详解】
根据空前“It’s important for street performers to think carefully about where they’ll perform. Obviously, places with more people mean they can earn more money. A covered spot will keep the performers comfortable, out of the sun and the rain, But they need to avoid blocking shop entrances. And in some cities, certain artists have places where they typically perform. New performers should respect them and wait until they’re done to set up there. (对于街头表演者来说,仔细考虑在哪里表演是很重要的。显然,人多的地方意味着他们可以赚更多的钱。一个有遮盖的地方将使表演者感到舒适,远离阳光和雨水,但他们需要避免堵塞商店入口。在一些城市,某些艺术家有他们通常表演的地方。新的表演者应该尊重他们,等他们完成后再在那里落脚。)”可知本段主要讲街头表演艺术家如何选择表演地点。空处承接上文,引出下文“telling each other when they’ll finish up or even saving each other places.( 告诉对方什么时候能结束,甚至给对方留位子。)”,A项“But street performers often help each other out.(但是街头艺术家们经常互相帮助。)”中的“But”表明艺术家们之间是相互照应的,符合上下文语境。故选A项。
【70题详解】
根据空前“Finally, have fun. Remember to look up, smile and interact with your audience wherever you are.(最后,玩得开心。无论你身在何处,都要记得抬头,微笑,与听众互动。)”可知段首句在讲街头艺术家们在表演时应该注意的事情,所以接下来应该总结这样做的好处。而且E项“This will make the show more enjoyable for them and for you.(这将使他们和你的表演更愉快。)中的“This”指代空前整句话的内容,符合上下文语境。故选E项。

The Truth Is Out
Human beings are not born liars, but the moment we can form complete sentences we begin lying to protect the feelings of others, to avoid punishment and conflict, and, most frequently, because lying gives advantages the truth wouldn’t provide. Lying gets results.
One study by Bella DePaulo, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, found lies played a part in 30-38 percent of people’s social interactions. Socially skillful people told a lot more lies than their more awkward coworkers. ___67___
Nowhere is this more obvious than on the singles scene. First dates have always involved a certain amount of self-boast, but some singles now regard out-and-out deceit (欺骗) as a reasonable strategy.
Experts believe that increased competition and the higher expectations among singles, along with the popularity of Internet dating, are encouraging outbreaks of deceitfulness. The problem is that many singles are presenting images of themselves that are impossible to live up to, and costing their already limited chances of long-term love in the process. ___68___
Of course, long-term lovers aren’t immune (不受影响) to the conflict-avoiding, problem-burying lie either. Once again, a pleasant singles scene coupled with unrealistic expectations has put new pressure on less-than-faultless relationships and tempted many into more serious deception. A study last year by Cahoot found that a majority of partners lie to each other about their personal financial situation. Other studies have found that women appreciate wise lies about their weight or looks.
___69___ In this context, might a policy of honesty at all costs upset the delicate balance of deceit that we’ve involved in by chance over the past few years? Could lying, as some people suggest, be little more than the latest social art?
Possibly. After all, few of us feel that lying is wrong any more. ___70___ But then that, of course, is the real issue. We might be great and frequent liars these days, but we’re not any better at recovering or forgiving, if we discover that we’ve been lied to.
A. Lying, it seems, is becoming an acceptable and even admirable social skill.
B. A lie is only wrong because it might be discovered, and cause hurt and upset.
C. But the Cahoot research also showed that lying is on increasingly difficult ground.
D. We, as a result, are all on the receiving end of a great many more lies than in the past.
E. They are so emotionally and intellectually evolved now that they are lying more, on a regular basis.
F. They either stop potential lovers by asking for too much, or they invite lies that will be discovered quickly.
【答案】67. A 68. F 69. C 70. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。全文通过描述如今大量充斥在社交场合的欺诈行为,并分析其背后深刻的社会背景,最后在结尾处表达出我们关于欺骗行为的错误道德观念的隐忧。
【67题详解】
根据前文“Socially skillful people told a lot more lies than their more awkward coworkers. (在社交场合中八面玲珑的人比起他们那些笨嘴拙舌的同事会讲更多的谎言)”可知,撒谎成为社交场合中人们的普遍做法。A选项句“Lying, it seems, is becoming an acceptable and even admirable social skill. (撒谎似乎正在变成一种人们普遍接受甚至令人艳羡的社交技能)”承接上文语义,陈述如今社交场合中的极为反常的不良现象。故选A项。
【68题详解】
根据前文“The problem is that many singles are presenting images of themselves that are impossible to live up to, and costing their already limited chances of long-term love in the process. (问题在于,许多单身人士呈现出的自我形象是他们难以企及的,在这个过程中,他们失去了本已有限的长期恋爱机会。)”可知,残酷的竞争和网恋的一定程度上鼓励了欺骗行为。F选项句“They either stop potential lovers by asking for too much, or they invite lies that will be discovered quickly. (他们要么要求太多来导致错过潜在的伴侣,要么他们会招致很快就会被发现的谎言。)”继续陈述单身人生的欺骗行为带来的恶果。故选F项。
【69题详解】
根据后文“In this context, might a policy of honesty at all costs upset the delicate balance of deceit that we’ve involved in by chance over the past few years? (在这种背景下,不顾一切地保持诚信,可能会打破我们过去这些年一直参与的欺诈行为的微妙平衡吗?)”可知,如今普遍存在的欺诈行为,也许会被诚信所取代。C选项句“But the Cahoot research also showed that lying is on increasingly difficult ground. (但是Cahoot的研究表明,欺骗行为越来越难以为继)”符合题意,引出下文对该研究结果的质疑。故选C项。
【70题详解】
根据前文“After all, few of us feel that lying is wrong any more. (毕竟,我们很少有人会再觉得欺诈是不正确的)”可知,我们对欺诈行为持错误态度。B选项句“A lie is only wrong because it might be discovered, and cause hurt and upset. (只有一个谎言被揭穿,并且造成伤害、引起人们反感,它才会是错误的)”承接上文语义,继续表述人们对欺诈行为秉持的错误观点;并且依据后文“We might be great and frequent liars these days, but we’re not any better at recovering or forgiving, if we discover that we’ve been lied to. (我们可能如今在撒谎方面精于此道,乐此不疲。但一旦发觉自己一直被欺骗时,我们也不能那么轻松地宽恕或平复心情)”,对于欺诈行为,我们会大搞双重标准,而这都是由于我们对于欺诈行为的道德观念出现了问题。故选B项。

Pythagoras
Pythagoras is often described as a very important mathematician, yet we know little about his achievements. Many Greek mathematicians wrote books about their work, but we have nothing written by Pythagoras. ____67____ It was a secret society and today Pythagoras is still a mysterious figure. We are not sure if the information we have about him is fact or legend.
We believe that Pythagoras was born on the Greek island of Samos: He was well educated. He learned music and poetry and had three philosophers to teach him. Two of these philosophers, Thales and Anaximander, introduced him to mathematics. Thales advised Pythagoras to travel to Egypt to learn more about mathematics and astronomy.
So, in 535 BC, Pythagoras travelled to Egypt, where he visited many temples and took part in discussions with priests(神父). ____68____ For example, the Egyptian priests refused to eat beans and wear animal skins, as did Pythagoras later in his life.
In 525 BC, the King of Persla invaded Egypt. ____69____ We do not know when Pythagoras was set free, but we know that in 520 BC he left Babylon and returned to Samon, his birthplace.
In Samos he founded a school which was called The Semicle. It seems that the people of Samos did not appreciate the teaching methods of Pythagoras and they treated him rudely and improperly. Furthermore, the Samians wanted to involve Pythagoras in local politics against his will. ____70____ And it was there that he founded a religious and philosophical society. This society contributed a great deal to the understanding of mathematics.
Pythagoras believed that numbers rule the universe and that numbers are present in all things. He also connected mathematics to music and recognized the healing power of music. He used it as a kind of therapy to help those who were ill. Another of his beliefs was that there are three types of men: those who love wisdom, those who love honor and those who love gain.
A. For these reasons he went to Italy.
B. Pythagoras was taken prisoner and was transported to Babylon.
C. It was in Egypt that he reached perfection in mathematics.
D. Many of the customs he learnt in Egypt he came to adopt.
E. Both men and women were allowed to be members of the society.
F. What we do know is that he was the leader of a society which was half scientific and half religious.
【答案】67. F 68. D 69. B 70. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了著名数学家毕达哥拉斯个人经历以及对理解数学作出的很大贡献。
【67题详解】
根据下文“ It was a secret society and today Pythagoras is still a mysterious figure. (那是一个秘密社会,今天毕达哥拉斯仍然是一个神秘人物。)”可知,上文要提到“society”。 F项“我们所知道的是,他是一个半科学半宗教社会的领袖。”符合文意。且F项中“What we do know”与上文“yet we know little about his achievements”形成对比。故选F。
【68题详解】
下文“For example, the Egyptian priests refused to eat beans and wear animal skins, as did Pythagoras later in his life.(例如,埃及牧师拒绝吃豆子和穿兽皮,毕达哥拉斯晚年也是如此。)”与空格处是例证关系。D项“在埃及学到的许多风俗习惯他都是来领养的。”符合文意。“拒绝吃豆子和穿兽皮”是他在埃及学到的许多风俗习惯。故选D。
【69题详解】
根据下文“We do not know when Pythagoras was set free(我们不知道毕达哥拉斯何时获得自由)”可知,上文应该提到他入狱。B项“毕达哥拉斯被俘并被送往巴比伦。”符合文意。故选B。
【70题详解】
根据下文“And it was there that he founded a religious and philosophical society. (正是在那里,他建立了一个宗教和哲学协会。)”可知,空格处应提到他建立一个宗教和哲学协会的地点。A项“出于这些原因,他去了意大利。”符合文意。故选A。

Artificial Intelligence Develops an Ear for Birdsong
We can learn a lot from nature if we listen to it more — and scientists around the world are trying to do just that. From mountain peaks to ocean depths, biologists are planting audio recorders to eavesdrop (窃听) on the whistles and songs of whales, elephants, bats and especially birds. This summer, for example, over 2,000 electronic ears will record the sound scape of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range. ____47____
“Audio data is a real treasure because it contains vast amounts of information,” says ecologist Connor Wood, a Cornell University postdoctoral researcher, who is leading the Sierra Nevada project. “We just need to think creatively about how to share and access that information.” ____48____ Fortunately the latest generation of machine-learning AI systems can process thousands of hours of data in less than a day.
Stefan Kahl, a machine-learning expert at Cornell’s Center for Conservation Bioacoustics and Chemnitz University of Technology in Germany, built BirdNET, one of the most popular avian-sound-recognition systems used today. Wood’s team will rely on BirdNET to analyze the Sierra Nevada recordings. ____49____ The neural network then teaches itself which features can be used to associate an input (in this case, a bird’s call) with a label (the bird’s identity).
____50____ Although they analyze audio much more quickly than humans, they still lag behind in filtering out overlapping sounds to home in on a signal of interest. Some researchers see this as the next problem for AI to tackle. Even the current imperfect versions, however, enable sweeping projects that would be far too time-consuming for humans to tackle alone. “As ecologists,” Wood says, “tools like BirdNET allow us to dream big.”
A. A wealth of such data already exists for common birds.
B. They altogether will generate nearly a million hours of audio.
C. These machine-learning AI systems still have room for improvement.
D. Such recordings can create valuable snapshots (简介) of animal communities.
E. This is a tricky problem because it takes humans a long time to decode recordings.
F. Such systems start by analyzing hundreds of recorded bird calls, each “labeled” with its corresponding species.
【答案】47. B 48. E 49. F 50. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了BirdNet人工智能系统,该系统能够快速识别分析已收集的鸟鸣声,但是在过滤重复声音方面有待完善。
【47题详解】
上文“This summer, for example, over 2,000 electronic ears will record the sound scape of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range.(例如,这个夏天,超过2000只电子耳将会记录加利福尼亚州内华达山脉的声景)”提到这个夏天会有2000只以上电子耳记录内华达山脉的声景,B项“They”指代上文提到的“over 2,000 electronic ears”,B项“generate nearly a million hours of audio(生成将近一百万小时的音频)”是上文“record the sound scape of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range”的结果,所以B项符合题意。故选B项。
【48题详解】
上文“We just need to think creatively about how to share and access that information.(我们只需要创造性地思考如何共享和访问这些信息)”提出了如何共享和访问所获取的声音信息这一问题。E项的“a tricky problem”指代上文提到的这一棘手问题,并解释了问题棘手的原因在于“对这些录音解码十分耗时”,下文“Fortunately the latest generation of machine-learning AI systems can process thousands of hours of data in less than a day.(幸运的是,最新一代机器学习人工智能系统可以在不到一天的时间内处理数千小时的数据)”与E项形成转折,即可以通过人工智能处理这些数据,缩短处理时间,所以E项符合题意。故选E项。
【49题详解】
上文“Wood’s team will rely on BirdNET to analyze the Sierra Nevada recordings.(伍德团队将会依靠BirdNET分析此次内华达山脉鸟鸣录音)”提到伍德团队会利用BirdNET系统分析鸟鸣录音,F项的“Such systems”指代的是上文提到的BirdNET系统,F项介绍了该系统一开始的运作步骤,即“分析上百种已记录的鸟叫声,并贴上对应鸟类品种的标签”,下文“The neural network then teaches itself which features can be used to associate an input (in this case, a bird’s call) with a label (the bird’s identity).(系统的神经网络随即自学哪些特征能够将输入(在本例中为鸟叫声)与标签(鸟的品种)相关联)”的“then”体现与F项的承接关系,下文介绍该系统下一个运作步骤,所以F项符合题意。故选F项。
【50题详解】
下文“Although they analyze audio much more quickly than humans, they still lag behind in filtering out overlapping sounds to home in on a signal of interest.(尽管它们分析声音时比人类快得多,但是它们在过滤重叠声音以获得感兴趣信号方面仍然落后)”讲的是BirdNET系统存在不足:不能很好地过滤重叠声音以获得感兴趣信号,由此推知,设空处的内容应为指出系统仍有待完善,所以C项“这些机器学习人工智能系统仍有进步的空间”符合题意,下文是对C项的进一步展开说明。故选C项。

What is Key to Learning and Creativity?
IQ is often regarded as a crucial driver of success, particularly in fields such as science, innovation and technology. ____67____ But the truth is that some of the greatest achievements by our species have primarily relied on qualities such as creativity, imagination, curiosity and so on.
Many of these characteristics are embedded in what scientists call “cognitive flexibility” — a skill that enables us to switch between different concepts, or to adapt behaviour to achieve goals in a novel or changing environment. ____68____ This includes changing strategies for first-rank decision-making. In our ongoing research, we are trying to work out how people can best boost their cognitive flexibility.
Cognitive flexibility provides us with the ability to see that what we are doing is not leading to success and to make the appropriate changes to achieve it. If you normally take the same route to work, but there are now roadworks on your usual route, what do you do? Some people remain inflexible and stick to the original plan, despite the delay. ____69____
Cognitive flexibility may have affected how people coped with the pandemic lockdowns, which produced new challenges around work and schooling. Some of us found it easier than others to adapt our routines to do many activities from home. ____70____ Others, however, struggled and eventually became more inflexible in their thinking. They stuck to the same routine activities, with little flexibility or change.
A. It also supports academic and work skills such as problem solving.
B. In fact, many people have an endless fascination with the IQ scores of famous people.
C. More flexible people adapt to the unexpected event and try every means to find a solution.
D. It is essentially about learning to learn and being able to be flexible about the way you learn.
E. That’s because people who are cognitively flexible are better recognising potential faults in themselves and using strategies to overcome these faults.
F. Such flexible people may also have changed these routines from time to time, trying to find better and more varied ways of going about their day.
【答案】67. B 68. D 69. C 70. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了学习和创造的关键因素——“认知灵活性”。
【67题详解】
上文“IQ is often regarded as a crucial driver of success, particularly in fields such as science, innovation and technology. (智商通常被认为是成功的关键驱动因素,尤其是在科学、创新和技术等领域)”说明智商常被人认为是科技创新成功的关键因素,选项B“事实上,许多人对名人的智商分数有着无尽的迷恋。”承接上文,证实上文所说的人们认为名人智商分数肯定高的观点,引出下文“But the truth is that some of the greatest achievements by our species have primarily relied on qualities such as creativity, imagination, curiosity and so on. (但事实是,我们人类取得的一些最伟大的成就主要取决于创造力、想象力、好奇心等品质)”转折语义,说明成功的关键并不取决于智商高低,而是取决于优良的心理品质。故选B项。
【68题详解】
上文“Many of these characteristics are embedded in what scientists call ‘cognitive flexibility’ — a skill that enables us to switch between different concepts, or to adapt behaviour to achieve goals in a novel or changing environment. (这些特征中的许多都嵌入了科学家所说的‘认知灵活性’——一种使我们能够在不同概念之间切换的技能,或使我们在一个新颖或不断变化的环境中调整行为以实现目标的技能)”介绍了“认知灵活性”,选项D“本质上是关于学习和灵活的学习方式”承接上文,揭示了“认知灵活性”的本质。故选D项。
【69题详解】
上文“Some people remain inflexible and stick to the original plan, despite the delay. (有些人仍然不灵活,坚持原来的计划,尽管延迟)”说明有些人总是坚持原计划,没有灵活性,选项C“更灵活的人能够适应突发事件,并想方设法寻找解决方法”承接上文,转折语义,说明更灵活的人是能够灵活地适应突发事件,寻求解决方法的。语义一致,逻辑合理。故选C项。
【70题详解】
上文“Some of us found it easier than others to adapt our routines to do many activities from home. (我们中的一些人发现能够比其他人更容易地在家里做许多活动来调整我们的日常生活)”说明这些人在日常生活中更具灵活性,选项F“这些灵活的人也可能会不时地改变这些日常活动,试图找到更好、更多样化的方式来度过他们的一天”承接上文,对上文作进一步解释,说明这些灵活的人会改变日常生活更好地度过一天,引出下文“Others, however, struggled and eventually became more inflexible in their thinking. (然而,其他人却在挣扎,最终在他们的思维上变得更加僵化)”转折语义,说明对应灵活的人,还有其他思想僵化的人。选项中routines和上文routines词汇重叠,语义一致。故选F项。

Conflict in Literature
What makes a book or movie exciting? What makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens or stay until the end of the movie? Conflict. Yes, conflict. ____67____ Most stories are written to have characters, a setting and a plot, but what sets apart a truly great story from the one that might not finish reading is conflict.
Basically, we can define conflict as a struggle between opposing forces — two characters, a character and nature, or even an internal struggle — conflict provides a level of worry into a story that engages the reader and makes him or her invested in finding out what happens. ____68____
First, you need to understand the different types of conflict, which can essentially be broken down into two categories: internal and external conflict. ____69____ An external conflict is one in which the character faces a challenge with an external force, like another character, an act of nature, or even society.
____70____ Most stories focus on one particular conflict, but it’s also possible that a story can contain more than one.
A. So how do you best create conflict?
B. From there, we can break down conflict into seven different examples.
C. By understanding what stands between characters and their goals, what can we do next?
D. An internal conflict tends to be one in which the main character struggles with himself, such as a decision he needs to make or a weakness he has to overcome.
E. When a conflict is resolved and the reader discovers which force or character succeeds, it creates a sense of closure.
F. It is a necessary element of any story, driving the story forward and forcing the reader to stay up all night reading in hopes of some sort of closure.
【答案】67. F 68. A 69. D 70. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是文学冲突以及冲突的类型等。
【67题详解】
根据上文“What makes a book or movie exciting? What makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens or stay until the end of the movie? Conflict. Yes, conflict.(是什么让一本书或一部电影令人兴奋?是什么让你想一直读下去,看看到底发生了什么,或者一直读到电影结束?冲突。是的,冲突)”以及后文“Most stories are written to have characters, a setting and a plot, but what sets apart a truly great story from the one that might not finish reading is conflict.(大多数故事都有角色、背景和情节,但真正伟大的故事与那些可能读不完的故事的区别在于冲突)”可知,本句与后文并列,都是在说明冲突的作用:是任何故事的必要元素,推动故事向前发展,迫使读者熬夜阅读,希望能有个了结。故F选项“它是任何故事的必要元素,推动故事向前发展,迫使读者熬夜阅读,希望能有个了结”符合语境,故选F。
【68题详解】
根据上文“Basically, we can define conflict as a struggle between opposing forces — two characters, a character and nature, or even an internal struggle — conflict provides a level of worry into a story that engages the reader and makes him or her invested in finding out what happens.(基本上,我们可以将冲突定义为对立力量之间的斗争——两个角色,一个角色和自然,甚至是一种内部斗争——冲突为故事提供了一定程度的担忧,吸引读者,让他或她投入到找出发生了什么)”以及后文“First, you need to understand the different types of conflict, which can essentially be broken down into two categories: internal and external conflict.(首先,你需要了解不同类型的冲突,它可以被分为两类:内部冲突和外部冲突)”可知,上文提到了冲突的作用,后文则在说明冲突的类型,即如何更好地制造冲突。故A选项“那么如何才能最好地制造冲突呢?”符合语境,故选A。
【69题详解】
根据后文“An external conflict is one in which the character faces a challenge with an external force, like another character, an act of nature, or even society.(外部冲突指的是角色面临来自外部力量的挑战,就像另一个角色,一种自然行为,甚至是社会)”可知,后文提到了外部冲突的概念,可知本句是在说明内部冲突。故D选项“内部冲突往往是主角与自己的斗争,比如他需要做出的决定或他必须克服的弱点”符合语境,故选D。
【70题详解】
根据后文“Most stories focus on one particular conflict, but it’s also possible that a story can contain more than one.(大多数故事都专注于一个特定的冲突,但也有可能一个故事包含多个冲突)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,应与上一段构成因果关系,说明冲突可以被分解成多少个例子。故B选项“由此,我们可以将冲突分解为七个不同的例子”符合语境,故选B。

An Aurora (极光) Adventure in Norway
Beyond the cottage windows the world is white and still. Snow-covered mountains stretch to the sea. It’s only 2 p.m., but already the light is fading, bathing the scene in a mysterious blue.
____67____ But instead of joining an organized and pricey aurora trip with a tour guide, I’m here on a DIY long weekend with friends.
We rented a riverside house in the tiny fishing village of Oldervik. ____68____ So we go back to the comfort of indoor space. The silence here is so complete that we can hear the gentle sound of snow falling from the roof.
Exciting activities, such as dog sledding and reindeer adventures, are easy to arrange. ____69____ But the striking beauty of the landscape and the sense of life being lived in slow motion, make us just want to stop for a while.
At Oldervik, it’s possible to catch the aurora anytime from September to April. The best time is from mid-November to mid-January, when the sun never appears. With cloudy skies we have no luck so far but on our last night, at the first sign of clouds clearing, we got into the car and hadn’t driven far when, with great excitement, we spotted a strange glowing arc (弧形) crossing the road like a milky rainbow. ____70____
And then it begins: beams of greeny-white light dance as if from spotlights on the ground. To the naked eye (肉眼), the lights are not the bright greens and blues cameras capture on long exposures, but it’s fascinating none the less. The temperature during this time has fallen to –10℃ but we don’t feel it as we lie on the ground, gazing up and never wanting to leave.
A. Sleep is effortless in this quiet land.
B. So are northern light excursions.

Eating for the sake of pleasure, rather than survival, is nothing new. Traditionally researchers focused on so-called metabolic(代谢的)hunger, which is driven by physiological necessity and is most commonly identified with an empty stomach. When we start dipping into our stores of energy or when we drop below our typical body weight, the system rings the bell. ___47___ After we eat enough food or put on weight, the same hormonal system and brain circuit(回路)then tend to depress our appetite.
Now, “Shifting the focus to pleasure” is a new approach to understanding hunger and weight gain. The brain begins responding to fatty and sugary foods even before they enter our mouth. Merely seeing or hearing a desirable item excites the reward circuit. Many overeating people go beyond their energy needs, due to consuming these food items they hear or see. ___48___ Determining whether an individual's weight problem arises from emotional longings or a physical failure in the body's ability to burn up calories is important for doctors to choose the most appropriate medications or behavioral interventions(干预)for treatment.
A kind of surgery that some overweight people have already undergone to manage their weight might have provided some of the biological insights into why many of us eat far beyond our physiological needs. ___49___ Through removing tissue, doctors make it impossible for the stomach to accommodate more than a couple of ounces of food at a time. The brain's reward circuit then responds much more weakly to the images and spoken names of tempting foods
Psychologically, removing influence factor can be an option. The traditional idea is that we can teach overweight people to improve their self-control. However, scientists now realize that the foods themselves are more the problem. For many people, certain foods cause such a strong response in the brain's reward circuit that our willpower will rarely, if ever, be sufficient to resist those foods once they are around. ___50___ That means never bringing fatty, super sweet foods into our house and avoiding going to places that offer them whenever possible.
A. A network of hormones and neural(神经的)pathways in the brain activate our feeling of hunger.
B. People’s follow-up gesture then greatly affects the time they spend in consuming the food.
C. This medical operation dramatically shrinks the stomach.
D. Therefore, we have to reengineer the food environment.
E. This approach has already had an influence on the choice of treatment.
F. The type of food processing method also takes a hand one way or another.
【答案】47. A 48. E 49. C 50. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。解释了一个科学发现:可以通过移除胃组织、改变人们饮食环境可以帮助人们摄入正常的食物量,不易引起过度饮食。
【47题详解】
根据空前的 “When we start dipping into our stores of energy or when we drop below our typical body weight, the system rings the bell.”(当我们开始消耗储存的能量,或者当我们的体重低于正常体重时,系统就会响铃。)以及空后的“After we eat enough food or put on weight, the same hormonal system and brain circuit(回路)then tend to depress our appetite.”(当我们吃了足够多的食物或体重增加后,同样的激素系统和大脑回路会抑制我们的食欲。)可知,设空处应该承接前文的系统,同时引出下文的the same hormonal system and brain circuit。说明大脑中的激素的作用。A选项“A network of hormones and neural(神经的)pathways in the brain activate our feeling of hunger.”(大脑中的激素网络和神经通路激活我们的饥饿感。)中的“A network of hormones and neural(神经的)pathways”是对前句的system和空后的the same hormonal system and brain circuit进行呼应。故选A。
【48题详解】
根据上文“Now, “Shifting the focus to pleasure” is a new approach to understanding hunger and weight gain. ”(现在,“把注意力转移到快乐上”是一种理解饥饿和体重增加的新方法)根据空后的“Determining whether an individual's weight problem arises from emotional longings or a physical failure in the body's ability to burn up calories is important for doctors to choose the most appropriate medications or behavioral interventions(干预)for treatment.”(对于医生来说,确定一个人的体重问题是源于情感上的渴望,还是由于身体燃烧卡路里的能力下降,这对选择最合适的药物或行为干预措施很重要。)可知,空处承接上下文说明这种方法已经对治疗的选择产生了影响。E选项“This approach has already had an influence on the choice of treatment.”(这种方法已经对治疗的影响。)与此呼应,同时this approach指代的是前文的“ Shifting the focus to pleasure is a new approach ”(“把注意力转移到快乐上”是一种新方法)。故选E。
【49题详解】
根据下文的“Through removing tissue, doctors make it impossible for the stomach to accommodate more than a couple of ounces of food at a time.”(通过切除胃组织,医生使胃一次不能容纳超过几盎司的食物。)可知,空前讲述的内容跟胃部收缩有关系,同时能够减少胃部的容纳量。C选项“This medical operation dramatically shrinks the stomach.”(这种医疗手术能使胃急剧收缩。)与此对应。故选C。
【50题详解】
根据空前的“For many people, certain foods cause such a strong response in the brain's reward circuit that our willpower will rarely, if ever, be sufficient to resist those foods once they are around.”(对许多人来说,某些食物会在大脑的奖赏回路中引起如此强烈的反应,以至于一旦这些食物出现,我们的意志力很难抵御它们。)以及空后的“That means never bringing fatty, super sweet foods into our house and avoiding going to places that offer them whenever possible”(这意味着永远不要把高脂肪、超级甜的食物带到家里,尽可能避免去提供这些食物的地方。)可知,设空处应该填写的是让我们重新思考食物环境对人们进食产生的影响。尽量避免去提供各种高脂肪、超级甜的食物环境。D选项“Therefore, we have to reengineer the food environment.(因此,我们必须重新设计食品环境。)承接上下文,与此相符。故选D。

Why You Won’t Apologize
In our relationships with others, it’s inevitable that we’ll hurt people from time to time, even though, in some cases, we don’t mean to. ____67____ Research shows what those with high levels of social intelligence already know — sincere apologies are usually very effective at mending relationships that have been damaged by thoughtless acts. But all too often, we stubbornly refuse to apologize, even when we know we’re in the wrong.
An apology is an attempt to repair the damage we’ve done to a relationship. To do this,we need to imagine ourselves to be in the victim’s position and to show empathy (共情) for the pain we have caused the victim. Some researches have indicated that people with the personality of narcissism (自恋) generally see no need to apologize when they have wronged another person. ____68____ When our friend points out that we’ve offended them it’s easy to recall plenty of instances when they’d also hurt our feelings—so what are they getting so upset about?
We all want to believe we’re essentially good people. Accepting the fact that we’ve hurt someone we care about conflicts with our precious self-image. People who believe that personality is fixed are especially easily affected by the idea that an act of apology is a threat to their self-image. If personal characteristics stay the same, then, of course, hurting someone they care about is inconsistent (不一致) with their self-image as an essentially good person. In reality, of course, even good people sometimes do bad things. ____69____
Sometimes people don’t apologize because they don’t believe it will do any good. This could come from the belief that some mistakes are unforgivable. ____70____ Your sincere apology doesn’t mean the victim ought to forgive you right away. It may still take time, but at least the act of making an apology gets the process of forgiveness started.
A. However, it’s quite difficult to make a sincere apology.
B. The challenge then is finding a way to make things right again.
C. There may also be unrealistic expectations about the process of forgiveness.
D. But even for most normal people, it can be extremely difficult to feel sorry for those who have been offended.
E. Understanding and accepting this fact of life can help ease our mind and thus help make an effective apology.
F. Although apologizing can be hard to do, it is, in fact, the most effective approach to mending a broken relationship.
【答案】67. B 68. D 69. E 70. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章分析了人们难以向他人道歉的原因。
【67题详解】
根据上文“In our relationships with others, it’s inevitable that we’ll hurt people from time to time, even though, in some cases, we don’t mean to.(在我们与他人的关系中,我们难免会时不时地伤害别人,尽管在某些情况下,我们并不是故意的)”可知,我们难免会伤害到别人,结合下文“Research shows what those with high levels of social intelligence already know — sincere apologies are usually very effective at mending relationships that have been damaged by thoughtless acts.(研究表明,社交智商高的人已经知道,真诚的道歉通常能有效地修复因轻率行为而受损的关系)”可知,空处应是描述关于伤害别人后修复受损的关系,B项“接下来的挑战是找到一种让事情恢复正常的方法”符合语境。故选B项。
【68题详解】
上文“Some researches have indicated that people with the personality of narcissism (自恋) generally see no need to apologize when they have wronged another person.(一些研究表明,自恋型人格的人通常认为,当他们伤害了别人时,没有必要道歉)”提到自恋型的人伤害了别人时认为没必要道歉,结合下文“When our friend points out that we’ve offended them, it’s easy to recall plenty of instances when they’d also hurt our feelings(当我们的朋友指出我们冒犯了他们时,我们很容易想起很多他们也伤害了我们感情的例子)”可知,道歉对于我们普通人也很难,D项“但即使是大多数正常人,也很难对那些被冒犯的人感到抱歉”符合语境。故选D项。
【69题详解】
上文“If personal characteristics stay the same, then, of course, hurting someone they care about is inconsistent (不一致) with their self-image as an essentially good person.(如果个人特征不变,那么,当然,伤害他们关心的人与他们作为一个本质上的好人的自我形象是不一致的)”解释了人们难以向别人道歉的原因,结合空前一句“In reality, of course, even good people sometimes do bad things.(当然,在现实中,即使是好人有时也会做坏事)”可知,即使是好人也会做不好的事情,明白这个道理就能更容易向别人道歉,E项“理解并接受这一事实可以帮助我们放松心情,从而帮助我们做出有效的道歉”符合语境。故选E项。
【70题详解】
根据文章首句“Sometimes people don’t apologize because they don’t believe it will do any good. (有时人们不道歉是因为他们不相信道歉会有任何好处)”可知,人们不道歉是因为他们认为道歉没有好处,空前一句“This could come from the belief that some mistakes are unforgivable.(这可能是因为认为有些错误是不可原谅的)” 是解释人们认为道歉没有好处的原因,结合下文“Your sincere apology doesn’t mean the victim ought to forgive you right away.(你真诚的道歉并不意味着受害者应该马上原谅你)”可知,空处是说另一个原因,人们认为道歉没有好处,是因为可能无法得到原谅,C项“对宽恕的过程也可能有不切实际的期望”符合语境。故选C项。

Diving with a Purpose
The water is cool against my skin, the silence absolute, and as I hover (盘旋) over the remains at the bottom of the sea, I feel peaceful, thankful, a sense of coming home.
Go underwater with me, and you’ll see about 30 other divers, paired in sets of two. They calmly float in place, despite strong currents off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, sketching images of coral-covered artifacts or taking measurements. ____67____
We are members of Diving With a Purpose, a group that trains divers to find and conserve (保存) historical and cultural artifacts buried deep in the waters. ____68____ Since its founding, DWP has trained some 500 divers to help archaeologists and historians search for and document such ships.
____69____ During the voyages from shores to shores, and inside the ships, we can find clues to a history little discussed, to stories that have been lost in the depths. We can begin to assemble long-lost threads that help us better understand our obligation to the past and to each other.
However, the wrecks are hard to find. Ships from the past were primarily made of wood, and they have disintegrated over time and been absorbed by the sea. Searchers today use equipment such as side-scan sonars (声呐) to detect unnatural, manufactured materials in dark water. ____70____ So we must be intentional about how we are documenting, to ensure that we’re not disturbing the wreck or ocean creatures.
The sandy ocean floor covers and reveals as it fancies. What may be seen today may not be seen tomorrow. A proper expedition with historians and archaeologists can take years. But it is important to take as long as is needed to look.
A. Its goal is to help us find history and stories under the water.
B. We are helping document and mapping the remains of a shipwreck.
C. We love and volunteer to go underwater for the magic and cool feelings.
D. However, in some ways there is still so much we don’t know about DWP.
E. The information we gather from the depths tells a more inclusive history of us.
F. Unfortunately, the work can take place at sites home to marine life that shouldn’t be disturbed.
【答案】67. B 68. A 69. E 70. F

How Minecraft is Helping Children with Autism (自闭症)
Like many constructions, it started small. But now thousands of children with autism are making friends and learning social skills by playing a version of online building game Minecraft.
Stuart Duncan got the idea through a popular blog he ran about his own experiences with autism as well as bringing up a son with autism. Other parents with autistic children started telling him that their kids were crazy about a game that let them explore a randomly generated wilderness. ____67____
So, in 2013, Duncan, a web developer in Timmins, Canada, set up a server to run a version of Minecraft exclusively for children with autism and their families.
____68____ The community boasts nearly 7000 members, along with a team of admins to help manage its many activities. “Parents see such a benefit for themselves and their children,” says Duncan. “Minecraft strips away the pressures and distractions of the real world.”
The server caught the eye of Kate Ringland at the University of California, Irvine. ____69____ “Autcraft” should be looked upon as not just another online community, but as a tool.
____70____ They may struggle to pick up on social cues or understand another person’s perspective. Duncan thinks Minecraft removes the pressures typical of the real world where people are actually living in. No noise, no unfamiliar environment, no pressure to track others’ facial expressions or worry about eye contact. “With Minecraft, you can really just be yourself,” he says. “The social interactions, the relationships, the communication — everything just boils down to you and your keyboard.”
A. Now, almost three years later, running “Autcraft” is his full-time job.
B. This is a great way for them to play a game they love, but also have a social experience.
C. Everyday social situations can be challenging for autistic children.
D. She has spent 60 hours inside this virtual world, watching how the kids play and chat to one another.
E. “Autcraft” builds from the interests and passions of people with autism rather than trying to redirect or surprise them.
F. However, despite loving the game, many of the children were being bullied by other players.
【答案】67. F 68. A 69. D 70. C
【解析】

Muscly Men at Risk for Eating Disorder
When thinking about someone with an eating disorder, many people think of a girl or woman who restricts food. ___67___
According to Dr. Blake Woodside, a professor at the University of Toronto, males will also develop eating disorders if they feel pressure to match a few manly body types that society regards as acceptable.
___68___ In order to achieve perfect figures, some males strictly limit their calorie intake, while others do the opposite and encourage excessive exercise, overloading protein and heavily restricting nutrients like fats, said Murray, director of the Translational Research in Eating Disorders Laboratory. When does an interest in maintaining a certain shape of body become an eating disorder? It happens when a male’s behavior and interactions start to be ruled by the restrictions he is putting into place for his ideal body.
Unfortunately, many families and even family doctors still aren’t familiar with what suggests eating disorders in boys and men, Murray said. So, the first place to start is knowing the signs to look for. ___69___ If, one day, you notice that they suddenly change how much or how publicly they eat, they deserve attention. If the men or boys in your life are making big changes to the activities and relationships in their lives, it might also be time to pay closer attention, Woodside added.
From there, there is both good news and bad news. The bad news? ___70___ So, they have to judge if they are on the mark by themselves, Murray said. But the good news is that men and boys often do well when they go through treatment for their eating disorders.
A. The eating disorder field has to treat males based on studies that include only females.
B. Will a boy or man experience eating disorders in that way too?
C. The best way to help them get into treatment is to share the truth — they are not alone.
D. Men’s response to ideal images is no more reasonable than that of women’s.
E. Teen boys are usually so hungry that they can wolf down every bite of food they see.
F. Disordered eating behavior in men is often criticized in social media.

【67题详解】
根据上文“When thinking about someone with an eating disorder, many people think of a girl or woman who restricts food.(一提到患有饮食失调症的人,许多人就会想到限制饮食的女孩或女性)”以及第二段“According to Dr. Blake Woodside, a professor at the University of Toronto, males will also develop eating disorders if they feel pressure to match a few manly body types that society regards as acceptable.(根据多伦多大学教授布雷克·伍德赛德博士的研究,如果男性在追求一些被社会认可的男性体型时感到压力,他们也会患上饮食失调)”可知,上文提到了人们普遍认为饮食失调症属于女孩或女性常患的疾病,而第二段提到了男性,故B选项“一个男孩或男人也会这样经历饮食失调吗?”符合语境,故选B。
【68题详解】
根据后文“In order to achieve perfect figures, some males strictly limit their calorie intake, while others do the opposite and encourage excessive exercise, overloading protein and heavily restricting nutrients like fats, said Murray, director of the Translational Research in Eating Disorders Laboratory.(饮食失调转化研究实验室主任默里说,为了拥有完美的身材,一些男性严格限制卡路里的摄入,而另一些则相反,他们鼓励过度锻炼,摄入过量蛋白质,并严格限制脂肪等营养物质)”可知,后文提到了男性对理想形象的在意导致了一些问题,可见男性对理想形象的反应并不比女性更合理。故D选项“男性对理想形象的反应并不比女性更合理”符合语境,故选D。
【69题详解】
根据上文“Unfortunately, many families and even family doctors still aren’t familiar with what suggests eating disorders in boys and men, Murray said. So, the first place to start is knowing the signs to look for.(默里说,不幸是,许多家庭甚至家庭医生仍然不清楚是什么导致了男孩和男人的饮食失调。所以,首先要知道要寻找的迹象)”以及后文“If, one day, you notice that they suddenly change how much or how publicly they eat, they deserve attention.(根据多伦多大学教授布雷克·伍德赛德博士的研究,如果男性在追求一些被社会认可的男性体型时感到压力,他们也会患上饮食失调)”可知,本句是在说明正常男孩的正常饮食。故E选项“十几岁的男孩通常很饿,他们可以狼吞虎咽地吃掉他们看到的每一口食物”符合语境,故选E。
【70题详解】
根据上文“From there, there is both good news and bad news. The bad news?(由此可见,既有好消息,也有坏消息。这个坏消息?)”可知,本句承接上文说明坏消息是什么,故A选项“饮食失调领域必须根据只包括女性的研究来治疗男性”符合语境,故选A。

A new book named You Are What You Wear, written by fashion blogger Fang Yimin, who has more than 30 million followers on social media, was released offline on May 14.
Fang, who’s widely known as Becky Li, talks about her experience and gives advice on “living beautifully” to readers in the book that she spent eight years writing. The book is a summary of 2,400 posts that Fang published in her blog on WeChat that she started in 2014, as well as the text of some public speeches, focusing on topics of common concern to modern women, such as “beauty quotient”, workplace survival, emotional management and self-growth.
____67____ “The long-winded path and the tumble I took, the thrill and joy of growing up over the years are all in this book,” she says.
Whether it is a fashion tip such as “finding your own style and details that affect your vibe”, or money management strategies such as “my moneymaking skills and a few things that changed my perception of money”, or self-management methods at work and in life such as “what entrepreneurship taught me, and how to overcome procrastination and learning to live with anxiety”, Fang’s insights at different stages of her life are incorporated in the book, which she hopes will inspire female readers while allowing them to explore their own hidden potential and pursue a better life.
____68____ She argues the process of discovering and pursuing beauty itself is a process that nourishes the body and mind. In her opinion, the value of something lies in the enhancement of its quality. Every piece of clothing, skincare or furniture has a unique meaning, even if it is not that deep, as long as it can bring happiness to people. Shopping should not be narrowly seen as a simple way of feeding emotions, rather she encourages people to spend rationally and within their means.
____69____ “From a lipstick to a car, to a space that is entirely her own, we can clearly feel that Chinese women are becoming more and more aware of pleasing themselves, and more and more capable of doing so,” she says.
____70____ Consumption is just a set of figures, a small part of life, and countless women make efforts to the path of independence. The influencer understands that beauty is not just appearance, dressing or makeup, but it is also about growing and discovering oneself, the attitude toward life and the understanding of it.
A. Fang writes that the pursuit of beauty is productive.
B. Fang writes that compared to the previous generations’ family-centered consumer attitudes, women today are becoming more and more conscious of their own needs.
C. She aims to capture the coziness of women’s homes and their lifestyles through the camera.
D. Fang shares her journey and tips from a woman’s perspective.
E. The length of life may be limited, but the depth and breadth can be expanded indefinitely.
F. It is because of their financial and emotional independence that women today are more concerned with self-improvement and self-fulfillment.
【答案】67. D 68. A 69. B 70. F

Shopping should not be narrowly seen as a simple way of feeding emotions, rather she encourages people to spend rationally and within their means.(她认为发现和追求美的过程本身就是一个滋养身心的过程。在她看来,某物的价值在于其品质的提升。每一件衣服、护肤品、家具,都有着独特的意义,哪怕没有那么深刻,只要能给人带来快乐就可以。她认为购物不应被狭隘地视为一种简单的情感宣泄方式,而是鼓励人们理性消费,量入为出。)”可知,A项“方写道,对美的追求是富有成效的”能够概括该段落内容,是本段的主题句,后文提到的理性购物也是发现和追求美的过程,与上文连接通顺。故选A项。

What Smiling Can Tell Us
The photographer calls out to the group and points to his camera lens. “OK, everyone. Look right here and smile!” Diligently the crowd smiles. The result is not quite what the photographer might expect. Everyone is looking at the camera, and they seem to be smiling, but somehow not everyone looks genuinely happy.
How can that be? All the faces reveal mouths that are turned up at the corners. ____67____ These appear to be real smiles but often are not. Anyone can “fake” a smile this way. A real smile, physiologists tell us, involves contraction of the fine muscles around the eyes. These muscles can affect the skin around the eyes, producing wrinkles commonly called “crow’s feet”. The name comes from the fact that these long, fine lines spreading out from the eyes resemble the feet of a crow. The French neurologist Duchenne de Boulogne studied this phenomenon in 1862. ____68____ In most cases, it is a sign of pure, honest pleasure by the person smiling.
You may think, “Well, that’s nice, but, so what?” For quite a long time after de Boulogne’s research, it was thought that the Duchenne smile could not be faked. ____69____ More recent research, however, has shown that some exceptionally skilled communicators can produce a Duchenne smile intentionally. Still, for the vast majority of people, a Duchenne smile is a sure sign of a very happy person.
A Duchenne smile, sometimes described as polite smiling, may not be connected with personal pleasure, but it does help to make emotional connections with others. ____70____ As Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote in her poem, “Smile, and the whole world smiles with you.”
A. Anyone “wearing” a Duchenne smile was assumed to be truly happy.
B. He thus explored the effects of electrical stimulation on diseased nerves and muscles.
C. However, this is merely the action of the major facial muscles.
D. In other words, certain emotions can be faked including joy.
E. That is, smiling can act as a social glue that helps bring people together.
F. Subsequently, this type of smile became known as the Duchenne smile in his honor.

The Rise of Fake News
In December 2016 Edgar M. Welch drove six hours from his home to Washington DC, where he opened fire in a pizzeria with a gun. He had formerly read an online news story about the restaurant being the headquarters of a group of child abusers (虐童者). ____47____
The story above is one of the most famous examples of the growing phenomenon called ‘fake news’. The conspiracy theory (阴谋论) about the pizzeria began to appear on websites and social networks in late October. This was quickly claimed to be false news by publications such as The New York Times and The Washington Post. ____48____ Posts from ‘Representative Steven Smith of the 15th District of Georgia’ claimed that the mainstream media were telling falsehoods. Even though both this name and district were invented, the message was re-posted many times.
Fake news stories can be hard to control for several reasons. Many people mistrust established news sources and others just don’t read them, so the exposing of a fake story by a serious newspaper or TV channel has limited effect. In addition, the internet is very hard to police. ____49____
Reasons why people create fake news are various. Some have political motives, to belittle their opponents. Other websites, like The Onion, deliberately publish fake news as satire—humorous comment on society and current affairs. Another group is in it for the profit: many people clicking on entertaining fake news stories can bring in a lot of advertising income. One man running fake news sites from Los Angeles made up to US$ 30,000 a month in this way. ____50____ Some small-town teenagers in Macedonia, for instance, wrote fake news stories about famous people.
A. A New York Times article on this got 250,000 hits.
B. He decided to investigate for himself; fortunately, no one was hurt.
C. There are also those who seem to be motivated partly by money and partly by boredom.
D. Those amazing stories about famous people will be covered by the mainstream media if true.
E. When caught misusing one media platform, users simply go to another one or start up a website themselves.
F. However, many people thought these papers were themselves lying for political ends and instead of disappearing, the fake story snowballed.
