A new survey by Harvard University finds more than two-thirds of young Americansdisapprove of President Trump’s use of Twitter The implication is that Millennials prefer newsfrom the White House to be filtered through other source, Not a president’s social mediaplatform.
Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines Yet as distrust has risentoward all media, people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills Such a trend isbadly needed.During the 2016 presidential campaign, nearly a quarter of web content sharedby Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news, according to theUniversity of Oxford And a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found 44 percent of Facebookusers rarely or never trust news from the media giant.
Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating factfrom fiction in cyberspace.A Knight Foundation focus-group survey of young people betweenages 14and24 found they use “distributed trust” to verify stories They cross-check sourcesand prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any bias “Many young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselvesand actively seeking out opposing viewpoints,” the survey concluded.
Such active research can have another effect A 2014 survey conducted in Australia,Britain, and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people’ s reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.
Social media allows users to experience news events more intimately and immediately whilealso permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests.This forcesusers to be more conscious of their role in passing along information A survey by Barnaresearch group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is“reader error,” more so than made-up stories or factual mistakes in reporting About a thirdsay the problem of fake news lies in “misinterpretation or exaggeration of actual news” viasocial media In other words, the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of theissue “This indicates there is a real personal responsibility in counteracting this problem,” saysRoxanne Stone, editor in chief at Barna Group.
So when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president, they reveal a mentaldiscipline in thinking skills – and in their choices on when to share on social media.

A.the justification of the news-filtering practice
B.people’s preference for social media platforms
C.the administrations ability to handle information
D.social media was a reliable source of news

参考答案

问题 1 答案解析:D

双段推理题根据题目定位到第 1 段和第 2 段,双段推理优先考虑双段主旨第一段中心句为最后一句话:Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered throughother sources, not a president’s social media platform“千禧一代喜欢白宫直接发布的消息…而不是总统社交媒体发布的信息”,说明他们不太信任社交媒体第 2 段中心为第二句转折之后,说明对于社交媒体的不信任上升故双段中心都和他们不信任社交媒体相关结合以上信息,得出社交媒体信息不可靠,选择 D



问题 2 答案解析:A
词汇释义题根据题目定位到第 2 段第 2 句:Yet as distrust has risen toward allmedia,people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills句子的情感色彩判断,因为逗号前提到“人们对于所有媒体的不信任增加”,可以推知人们应该开始增强其媒体素养的技能,故选 A

问题 3 答案解析:A
全文主旨题本篇文章属于篇首转折,二段转折之后为全文主旨,yet 之后说道:“Yet as distrust has risen toward all media, people may be strarting to beef up their medialiteracy skills”“随着对于所有媒体不信任的上升,人们开始增强其媒体素养的技能”,故答案为 A为了验证,可以看篇末,篇末重申主题,so 之后讲道“so when young people are criticalof an over-tweeting president, they reaveal a mental discipline in thinking skills-and in theirchoices on when to share on social media” 更进一步说明和人们批判性看待社交媒体上的新闻相关

问题 4 答案解析:C
事实细节题根据题干定位至第五段第三句 found 之后 a main reason 对应 the topreason,而原文剩余信息为“reader error”, 所以应该和读者相关Error 应该对应misinterpretation, 故答案为 C readers’ misinterpretation若本句不清晰,下句进一步说明答案的内容,文中 misintepretation or exerggeration of actual news 进一步印证 C 为正确答案

问题 5 答案解析:B
范例证明题根据题干定位至第三段第二句话因为某项研究一般是论据证明前面的论点,故答案应该位于第一句话“Young people who are digital natives are indeedbecoming more skillful at seperating fact from fiction in cyberspace” 说明答案应该“和年轻人更容易把网络中的事实和虚假信息区分开来”,故答案为 B“验证新闻的真伪”为了精确可以在论据中去验证,论据中提到“verify stories”, “cross check sources”和“prefer newsfrom different perspectives”,都是和多重角度验证信息真伪相关的
