Pet lovers were very
angry
．
Last
May
，
a news
article appeared online that said three states
had passed laws limiting the number of
pets each household could have to only
two
．
The news
spread quickly
，
as many people shared the article on
Facebook and other social media
sites
．
But pet owners had nothing to worry
about-----the article was made-
up
．
Many fake news articles are
harmless
，
but
others might have played a role in real-world
events
．
When it comes to online
news
，
even adults
can have a hard time separating fact from
fiction
．
Education experts say kids should start
learning how to tell the difference early
on
．
Of course
，
there are plenty of reputable websites
you can visit to read the
news
．
Well-known
news organizations such as The New York
Times and the Associated
Press
，
have their
own
sites
．
But many other online news sources
aren't always trustworthy
．
And many students
have
trouble spotting when articles aren't entirely
true or are trying to persuade them to think in
a certain way
．
Real news organizations can
make mistakes
，
especially when they have to report
quickly on
breaking news
stories
．
But they
usually print corrections
．
However
，
why would someone
purposely
publish an article that isn't
true
？
The most
common reason is to make
money
．
Websites are paid by the companies that
post ads on them
．
Companies want to place
their ads on sites that get a lot of
visitors
．
So
people create fake news articles with
attention-grabbing headlines to try to
get users to click on them
．
Some of the biggest
websites are trying to stop the flow of fake
news
．
Last
November
，
Facebook and Google banned fake news
sites from advertising on their
pages
．
Facebook
is
also working with fact-checking
organizations to identify and flag fake
articles
．
But
experts
say the best way to slow the
spread of fake news is for people to be more
skeptical
（怀疑的）
of
what they read online
．
4.
What's the
main idea of the text
？
______
A.
People create fake news stories to make
money
．
B.
The growing trend of fake news raises
concerns
．
C.
It is necessary to be able to recognize
fake news
．
D.
Most people can easily pick out a fake
news article
．
5.
What does the
underlined word
？
______
A.
popular
．
B.
resourceful
C.
official
D.
reliable
6.
What is the best way to reduce the
influence of fake news
？
______
A.
Commanding news organizations to print
corrections quickly
．
B.
Banning companies from
placing advertisements on
websites
．
C.
Encouraging readers to be doubtful
about what they read online
D.
Developing the system of fact-checking
and flagging fake news
C
I
grew up in an age of delayed
gratification
when I had to wait for
almost everything
．
（满意）
，
The mail
came once a day
，
and I recall the thrill of expectation
when expecting my issue of
Mad magazine
or some cheap items I had
ordered
．
Classic movies were shown on
television
，
and
the only way to learn about them was a week
before from TV
．
And
，
of course
，
one had to be home at the fixed time to
watch them
．
And
then the banks did business on weekdays
only
．
They opened
at 9 and closed at 4
．
Such was the world as
recently as the 1970s
．
Everything seemed to operate on a
strict
clock
．
This was the way things worked
，
and it was all
we knew
．
And then
，
seemingly
overnight
，
everything
changed
．
It
suddenly seemed as if I never had
to be
anywhere at a certain time
，
because we could get everything
whenever we want
．
But
rather than being
charmed by what we have
gained
，
I am
gently disturbed by what was
第
2
页，共
12
页
< br>
lost
．
Having to wait for almost everything
meant living a life at a slower
pace
．
When one is
faced with fixed
schedules
，
one
has no choice but to wait
．
In this way patience is
perfected
．
The changed
times
，
on the
other hand
，
have
encouraged a constant sense of
urgency
，
which
sounds
unreasonable
：
If
we can have anything we want anytime we want
it
，
shouldn't we
be
less hurried
？
The answer is that an
．
If I
can have something this
fast
，
why can't I
have it faster
？
And on this sunny
day
，
as a gentle
form of fighting against the demands of a hurried
age
，
I
went to the supermarket and bought
three fresh lemons
．
Carefully
，
and with no sense of
needing
to be anywhere else or do anything
else
，
I
squeezed
them into a tall
glass
．
Then
（
挤）
I filled the
glass with cold water
，
ice
，
and a tea spoon of
sugar
．
Fresh
lemonade in hand
，
I went outside
，
sat in my lawn chair and looked out
over the river
，
enjoying the
drink
．
7.
By describing
the world before the
1970's
，
the writer proved
that people ______
．
A.
preferred everything
scheduled in advance
B.
lived a life around the clock
C.
enjoyed the delight of a
slow paced life
D.
had a
strong sense of time in their life
8.
The writer's
attitude towards the
．
A.
supportive
B.
indifferent
C.
tolerant
D.
negative
9.
What did the writer think we have
lost
？
______
A.
The quality
of patience
B.
The sense of
urgency
C.
The preference
for speed
D.
The choice of
lifestyle
10.
Why
did the writer buy fresh lemons from the
supermarket
？
______
A.
To taste the delicious lemon
juice
．
B.
To experience the pleasure of living
slowly
．
C.
To show off her skills of making
lemonade
．
D.
To satisfy her desire for a hurried
life

In her essay
Friends
，
Good
Friends-and Such Good
Friends
，
Judith
Viorst creates a number
of
categories
for
Friendships
．
For
her
，
some
friendships are based on
convenience
，
（分类）
some on current shared
interests
，
some
on past shared history
，
some on accidental
crossing-
of-paths
，
and on
and on
．
(1)
I have just two categories
of friends
．
(2)
The short-term
，
low-
investment
（投资）
category
is a large and
changeable group made up of people I've met since
I moved to New Orleans
eighteen months
ago
．
My New
Orleans friends are mostly classmates in my
writing courses
，
people who see and comment my writing
courses and whose writing I see and
comment
．
(3) But they are also
unstable
（不稳定的）
and possibly
disappointing
．
This is because we
often
know each other better through reading each
other's writing than we do through honest
time spent
together
．
Such
knowledge and familiarity
，
without necessarily the investment
created through conversation and shared
experience
，
can
create stresses that only some
friendships can
withstand
．
The long-term
，
high-investment category is primarily
made up of people I left behind when I
moved to New
Orleans
．
(4) They
are friends who know me
，
love me
，
and who can be
counted on
for anything
，
even though they live
1
，
500 miles
away
．
I know
these friends from
the way they wash
dishes to the way they choose a restaurant or
drink their coffee
．
Every one
of them was once a
person in my life
，
standing in the low-investment
category
，
and
then
slowly revealing him-- or herself
through conflict as much as
companionship
．
(5) And the
work is
hard
．

A
．
And the only
difference between the two is time and lots of
work
．
B
．
Such
unimportant mental activity mentioned by her is
beyond me
．
C
．
The change from
low-investment to high-investment takes just that
---Investment
．
D
．
In many
ways
，
they are
friends whose concern is only based on
profit
．
E
．
These low-
investment friendships are delightfully strong and
serious at times
．
F
．
This is a
stable and efficient group
，
whose numbers can be counted on one
hand
．
G
．
Friends of the
low-investment category are always
trustworthy

Bees are important to the production of
food we eat
．
Bees
make honey
，
but
they also
pollinate
large
areas of crops
，
such as straw
berries
，
apples
and onions
．
About
（
授粉）
a third of
the food we eat is a result of pollination of the
bees
．
Unfortunately
，
bees have
been disappearing
at an alarming rate
．
In 2006
，
bee keepers started reporting about
something called Colony Collapse Disaster
The main sign of CCD is the loss of
adult honey bees from a hive
In
（
CCD
）
．
（蜂巢）
．
October of 2006
，
some beekeepers reported that they had
lost between 30 and 90 percent
of their
hives
．
There were
many theories for the disappearance of the
bees
．
But the
most convincing one
has to do with
pesticides
and lifestyles
of bees today
．
Nowadays
，
beekeepers
（
杀虫剂）
get most of
their income not from producing honey but from
renting bees to pollinate
plants
．
This means that the life of the typical
bee now consists of travelling all around the
country to pollinate crops as the
seasons change
．
That means a lot of traveling on
trucks

described
which is very
stressful to bees
．
It is not unusual for up to 30% of the
hive to die during
transport due to
stress
．
In
addition
，
bees
that spend most of their time locked up on
trucks are not exposed to what they
usually live on
．
Instead
，
they live on a sweet liquid
from corn
，
usually polluted with
pesticides
．
The
exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not
sure
，
but losing
bees is very costly
to the
economy
．
The bee
pollination services are worth over $$8 billion a
year
．
With no
bees
，
pollination will have to be done by
hand
，
which would
have effects on the quality
of food and
increased food priced
．
We hear a lot about big environmental
disasters
almost every
day
．
But one of
the biggest may just be the less of that tiny
flying insect
