【答案】18．B 19．C 20．A
【原文】
Researchers have developed a tiny wireless camera that is light enough to be carried by insects. The team at the University of Washington in the US drew inspiration from the insects to create its low-powered camera system.
The research was published in the journal Science Robotics. The entire camera weighs just 250 milligrams, about a tenth of the weight of a playing card. It is put on a mechanical arm that can shift from side to side. That allows the camera to look side to side and scan the environment, just like an insect. To save battery life, the researchers included a device in the system so that it only takes photos when the insect is moving. This way, the camera was able to operate for six hours on a full charge. The insects were not harmed and lived for at least a year after the experiment. The researchers used what they had learned to produce an independent insect-sized camera robot. The team claims it is the world’s smallest robot with wireless vision. Shyam Gollakota, senior author of the research, acknowledged that tiny camera robots could introduce new privacy concerns.

Born blind is unfortunate in any case. But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth’s parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the stars.
Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-four-year-old man is the founder and CEO of Bollant Industries.
Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students and teachers didn’t quite like him because of his disability. As a result, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone.
Concerned this would hold back Srikanth’s development, his family decided to send him to a special school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, earning awards in speech and debate competitions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying science when he reached 10th grade, because it was thought too dangerous for a blind student. Not wanting to give up, Sriksanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study science.
Later, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Srikanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees,70% of whom are physically challenged.
Being disabled doesn’t mean being unable. “If the world looks at me and says ‘Srikanth, you can do nothing’, I will look back at the world and say I can do anything,” says the young man.
24．What made little Srikanth live
A．His luck. B．His parents’ love.
C．A wonderful dream. D．A village’s common belief.
25．How did Srikanth’s family deal with his challenges in the regular school
A．By letting the child bear them.
B．By moving to another place.
C．By sending him to a special school.
D．By complaining to relevant departments.
26．Why was Srikanth refused to study science at first
A．He was too young to study it.
B．He was disliked by his teachers.
C．It was illegal for him to do so.
D．It was considered unsafe for the blind man.
27．What kind of person is Srikanth
A．Determined. B．Dishonest. C．Outspoken. D．Impatient.
【答案】24．B 25．C 26．D 27．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。出生在印度一个村庄的Srikanth Bolla出生时就是盲人，虽然那里的人都认为残疾人没用，但是他的父母没有放弃他，反而努力培养他，最终他2012年毕业后，成立了以残疾人为主的Bollant产业。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段“But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth’s parents loved their son and refused to give him up. (但对于出生在印度一个小村庄的Srikanth Bolla来说，事情就更艰难了。在那里，人们普遍认为残疾儿童“没有用”，因此最好还是死了。幸运的是，斯里坎斯的父母爱他们的儿子，拒绝放弃他。)”可知，Srikanth出生在印度的一个小山村里，并且身带残疾。这样的孩子在当地是很难存活下去的，但是他的父母非常爱他，不肯放弃他。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第四段“Concerned this would holdback Srikanth’s development, his family decided to send him to a special school in Hyderabad. (由于担心这会阻碍Srikanth的发展，他的家人决定把他送到海得拉巴的一所特殊学校。)”可知，Srikanth在普通学校受到了很多不公平的待遇，他的父母考虑到孩子的发展，把他转到了一所特殊学校。故选C。
26．细节理解题。根据第四段“But Srikanth was prevented from studying science when he reached 10th grade, because it was thought too dangerous for a blind student. (但Srikanth在上十年级时被禁止学习科学，因为人们认为这对一个盲人学生来说太危险了。)”可知，一般人们都认为学习科学类专业对于盲人来说是很危险的。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据第四段“Not wanting to give up, Srikanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study science. (Srikanth不想放弃，他采取了法律行动，成为该国第一个被允许学习科学的盲人学生。)”及第五段的内容可推断，Srikanth是一个意志坚定的人。故选A。
C
Experts used to believe that people assess risk like actuaries (精算师), figuring out cost-benefit analyses every time a car came too close or local crime rates rose. But a wave of psychological experiments in the1980s denied this thinking.
Researchers found that people use a set of mental shortcuts for measuring danger. And they tend to do it unconsciously, meaning that instinct (直觉) can play a much larger role than they realize. Ideally, these shortcuts help people figure out which ones to worry about and which to disregard. But they can be imperfect.
When you encounter a potential risk, your brain does a quick search for past experiences with it. If it can easily pull up multiple alarming memories, then your brain concludes the danger is high. But it often fails to assess whether those memories are truly representative.
A classic example is airplane crashes. If two happen continuously, flying suddenly feels scarier—even if your conscious mind knows that those crashes are a statistical aberration (统计异常)with little influence on the safety of your next flight. But if you then take a few flights and nothing goes wrong, your brain will most likely start telling you again that flying is safe.
That tendency can cut in both directions, leading to either alarm or complacency (自大). Though flu kills tens of thousands of Americans every year, most peoples’ experiences with it are relatively ordinary. “We’re conditioned by our experiences,” said Paul Slovic, a University of Oregon psychologist. “But experience can mislead us to be too comfortable with things. We are also conditioned to focus heavily on new threats, looking for any cause for alarm. ”
Maybe the most powerful shortcut of all is emotion. Our brains translate emotional reactions into what we believe are reasoned conclusions, even if hard data tells us otherwise. The world in our heads is not a precise copy of reality. Our expectations about frequency of events are misinterpreted by the popularity and emotional intensity of the messages to which we are exposed.
28．What does the underlined word “disregard” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Fear. B．Ignore. C．Support. D．Prevent.
29．Why does the author give an example of airplane crashes
A．To demonstrate how to take a shortcut.
B．To emphasize the importance of experience.
C．To prove people are good at measuring risks.
D．To explain memories can be misleading.
30．What makes mental shortcut imperfect
A．Representative memories. B．Reasoned conclusions.
C．Scary reports. D．Misinterpreted messages.
31．Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A．How we stick to our beliefs B．How our brains evaluate threat
C．How our past experiences shape us D．How we make our best choices
【答案】28．B 29．D 30．D 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我们的大脑如何评估威胁。专家们曾经认为，人们评估风险的方式就像精算师一样，每次汽车靠得太近或当地犯罪率上升时，都会进行成本效益分析。但20世纪80年代的一波心理学实验否定了这种想法。
28．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Ideally, these shortcuts help people figure out which ones to worry about(理想情况下，这些捷径可以帮助人们弄清楚哪些是值得担心的)”可知，and前后是并列关系，由此可知，划线词部分指的是哪些是不值得担心的，即哪些是可以忽略的。由此可知，划线词disregard与ignore(忽略)意思一致。故选B。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段“When you encounter a potential risk, your brain does a quick search for past experiences with it. If it can easily pull up multiple alarming memories, then your brain concludes the danger is high. But it often fails to assess whether those memories are truly representative.(当你遇到潜在的风险时，你的大脑会快速搜索过去的经历。如果它能轻易地提取多个令人担忧的记忆，那么你的大脑就会得出结论，危险很高。但它往往无法评估这些记忆是否真正具有代表性)”及第四段中的“A classic example is airplane crashes.(一个典型的例子是飞机失事)”可推知，作者举了一个飞机失事的例子来解释记忆可能会误导人。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Our expectations about frequency of events are misinterpreted by the popularity and emotional intensity of the messages to which we are exposed.(我们对事件发生频率的预期被我们所接触到的信息的受欢迎程度和情感强度所误解)”可知，误解的信息使心理捷径不完美。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Experts used to believe that people assess risk like actuaries (精算师), figuring out cost-benefit analyses every time a car came too close or local crime rates rose. But a wave of psychological experiments in the1980s denied this thinking.(专家们曾经认为，人们评估风险的方式就像精算师一样，每次汽车靠得太近或当地犯罪率上升时，都会进行成本效益分析。但20世纪80年代的一波心理学实验否定了这种想法)”及第二段中的“Researchers found that people use a set of mental shortcuts for measuring danger.(研究人员发现，人们使用一套心理捷径来衡量危险)”和最后一段中“Our brains translate emotional reactions into what we believe are reasoned conclusions, even if hard data tells us otherwise. The world in our heads is not a precise copy of reality. Our expectations about frequency of events are misinterpreted by the popularity and emotional intensity of the messages to which we are exposed.(我们的大脑将情绪反应转化为我们认为是合理的结论，即使实际数据告诉我们并非如此。我们头脑中的世界不是现实的精确复制品。我们对事件发生频率的预期被我们接触到的信息的受欢迎程度和情感强度所误解。)”可知，文章主要介绍了我们的大脑如何评估威胁，B项“我们的大脑如何评估威胁”适合做文章标题。故选B。
D
Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone” thinks the same way Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization
A social media echo chamber (回声壁) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.
In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources. Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information. By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.
32．What is a result of the social media echo chamber
A．People contact like-minded online users effectively.
B．People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.
C．People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.
D．People only get information confirming their beliefs.
33．What does “beef up” underlined in paragraph 3 mean
A．Track. B．Improve.
C．Provide. D．Identify.
34．Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber
A．Criticizing fake news on social media.
B．Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.
C．Researching primary sources of information.
D．Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.
35．What is the purpose of the text
A．To call on people to use algorithms frequently.
B．To ask people not to take in information blindly.
C．To promote the use of various social media sites.
D．To inform people of new technology developments.
【答案】32．D 33．B 34．B 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。社交媒体回音室是指一个人体验量身定制的媒体体验，将对立的观点和不同的声音排除在外。本文主要分析了社交媒体回音室产生的原因，并就如何确保我们不会简单地被困在社交媒体的回音室里提出建议。
32．推理判断题。根据第二自然段“As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. (因此，人们根据我们先前存在的信仰和观点来看待和接受信息。)”可知，社交媒体回音室的结果是人们只能得到证实他们信仰的信息。故选D。
33．词义猜测题。根据第三自然段划线词后的句子“Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. (加入一些有不同意见的媒体来源，至少可以让你了解人们在你的回音室外说什么。)”可推知，人们需要加强媒体消费来源，从而真正获得所有信息并评估我们的媒体。故beef up意为“加强；改进”。A. Track.追踪；B. Improve.改进；C. Provide.提供；D. Identify.识别。故选B。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. (加入一些有不同意见的媒体来源，至少可以让你了解人们在你的回音室外说什么。接下来，用批判的眼光阅读你所看到的每一件事。)”可知，让自己暴露在反对的声音中可以帮助我们走出回音室。故选B。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone.( 为了真正获得所有信息并评估我们的媒体，我们必须给自己一个走出舒适区的机会。) ”和最后一句“By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber. (通过接受我们在社交媒体上的媒体自助餐是我们当前信仰和观点的产物，我们可以努力确保我们不会简单地被困在社交媒体的回音室里。)”可知，作者希望通过本文要求人们不要盲目接受信息。故选B。

What’s more, thinking and caring about others can bring out a sense of understanding.(在文化多样化的环境中生活和工作有时会带来意见分歧和紧张。具有较强文化能力的人可以创造性地解决这些问题，即使一开始似乎不可能解决。更重要的是，思考和关心他人可以带来一种理解的感觉)”可知，本句承接上文说明“思考和关心他人可以带来一种理解的感觉”带来的好处：有助于彼此之间建立信任。故C选项“这有助于彼此之间建立信任”符合语境，故选C。
38．根据后文“Assess the current level of cultural competence in yourself and identify the knowledge, skills and resources that you want to acquire. This can give you an idea of your strengths and weaknesses in the area so that you can improve yourself in future.(评估自己目前的文化能力水平，确定你想获得的知识、技能和资源。这可以让你了解自己在该领域的优势和劣势，以便在未来提升自己)”可知，本段的主旨是了解自己的文化价值观和世界观。故G选项“首先要了解自己的文化价值观和世界观”符合语境，故选G。
39．根据后文“No matter whom you are dealing with, make sure that you are respecting others’ backgrounds, boundaries and customs. Pay close attention to your communication and make sure that you’re speaking to others in a kind and polite way.(无论你和谁打交道，确保你尊重他人的背景、边界和习俗。密切注意你的沟通，确保你是用一种友好和礼貌的方式和别人说话)”可知，本段提到了用一种友好和礼貌的方式和别人说话，即培养礼仪。故A选项“培养良好的礼仪”符合语境，故选A。
40．根据后文“It takes time and practice. Whether you are in a classroom or on campus, cultural competence plays an important role in your daily environment. Recognizing and dealing with cultural differences will create a happier setting for everyone.(这需要时间和实践。无论你是在教室里还是在校园里，文化能力在你的日常环境中扮演着重要的角色。认识和处理文化差异将为每个人创造一个更快乐的环境)”可知，本段主要说明了培养文化能力需要花费时间和实践，不是一蹴而就。故E选项“请记住，发展文化能力不是一蹴而就的事情”符合语境，故选E。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国在博鳌启动首个零碳示范区的项目及其建设情况。
56．考查冠词。句意：博鳌亚洲论坛2023年年会于3月28日至31日在海南博鳌举行，其中一个亮点是零碳。根据句意和空格后的单数可数名词highlight分析句子可知，空格处应该填入不定冠词表示“一个”，且highlight发音是以辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。
57．考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：到2023年，区内共完成16个项目。根据句意和所给动词finish分析句子可知，空格处是该句子的谓语部分，由时间状语by 2023可知，句子应该用现在完成时；主语 a total of 16 projects和动词finish之间是被动关系，所以应该用被动语态；主语 a total of 16 projects是复数形式，所以谓语动词也应该用复数形式。故填have been finished。
58．考查名词。句意：园区将实现全方位零碳运营。根据句意和所给动词operate以及空格前的动词achieve分析句子可知，空格处应该填入operate的名词形式operation作动词achieve的宾语，为不可数名词。故填operation。
59．考查现在分词。句意：示范区的建设最大限度地利用了当地的风、光、热资源，让大自然来做工作。根据句意和所给动词let分析句子可知，空格处应该填入动词let的非谓语形式作状语，因为let和句子主语the construction of the demonstration zone是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词letting作状语。故填letting。
60．考查可数名词单复数。句意：光伏发电系统已安装在建筑物、停车场和景观设施上。根据句意和所给可数名词facility分析句子可知，空格处应该填入facility的复数形式facilities，facility当“设施、设备”讲时多用复数形式。故填facilities。
61．考查过去分词。句意：根据最近的估计，完成的16个项目，加上抵消措施，每年可减少9055.8吨碳排放，每年可提供1510万千瓦时的清洁电力。根据句意和所给动词complete以及空格后的名词projects分析句子可知，空格处应该用complete的非谓语形式作定语，修饰后面的名词projects，因为projects和动词complete之间是被动关系，所以应该用过去分词completed表示“被动、完成”的意义。故填completed。
62．考查副词。句意：根据最近的估计，完成的16个项目，加上抵消措施，每年可减少9055.8吨碳排放，每年可提供1510万千瓦时的清洁电力。根据句意和所给形容词annual分析句子可知，空格处应该填入annual的副词形式annually作状语。故填annually。
63．考查介词。句意：同样值得注意的是，示范区的建设主要依靠独立研究。根据句意和空格后的名词note分析句子可知，此处是考查固定短语of note“重要的；引人注目的”。故填of。
64．考查不定式。句意：清华大学教授刘烨对新华社表示：“我们没有相关经验可供参考，所以我们必须通过研究和探索来建设这个区域”。根据句意和所给动词refer以及句中的动词have分析句子可知，空格处应该填入不定式形式作定语（have something to do）。故填to refer。
65．考查介词。句意：清华大学教授刘烨对新华社表示：“我们没有相关经验可供参考，所以我们必须通过研究和探索来建设这个区域”。根据句意和空格后的动名词doing分析句子可知，空格处应该填入介词by表示“通过……方式”。故填by。

We went to the charity shop where we found an old dark one. It didn’t look too cool, but I thought that I would paint it to make it look better.
After we took it home, I was getting ready to paint it. When I pulled the drawers out. I felt something stuck to the back. I reached in all the way, and guess what A sealed bag with some papers in it.
When I opened the bag, I realized that the papers were official documents. And, wrapped in them were a bunch of ten and twenty dollar bills! Talk about finding a treasure! And on my birthday!
“Is this some kind of joke ” I said aloud. I went ahead and read the papers, and it turned out to be a will. Some old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren.
My mind was going crazy. Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. Who knows
I began counting. When I reached a thousand dollars, my mother was knocking on my bedroom door. I quickly closed the drawer with the money in it.
“Do you want some help Is everything all right ” she asked.
No, everything was not right. Actually, my stomach was growling (低吼).
“I’m okay,” I lied.

【答案】I finally made a decision and called my parents into my bedroom. When my parents saw what I had found in the drawer they were wide-eyed and speechless! Then, they read the papers carefully and were moved to tears. When they asked, “What should we do ” I said, “Let’s take it back to the store and find her family.” My father nodded with a smile on his face and my mother hugged me warmly, saying “You are my pride, dear.” I felt very happy because I already knew right from wrong. We collected all the money and papers at once, putting them in the drawer. We rushed to the charity shop with the drawer in the hope to find the owner as soon as possible.
Though surprised, the shop owner helped find the family’s telephone number. Within a few minutes, the family all came over. When I showed them what I had found in the drawer, they couldn’t believe their eyes. The parents had tears in their eyes. They were still sad about the lady’s death and the father had just lost his job. It was easy to see that my act of honesty gave them hope. They showed me sincere gratitude from the bottom of their hearts. In fact, I had never felt better before. No new bicycle could have made me felt as good about myself as I felt that day because I passed a very important test—a lost and found test of my own character.

Born blind is unfortunate in any case. But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth’s parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the stars.
Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-four-year-old man is the founder and CEO of Bollant Industries.
Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students and teachers didn’t quite like him because of his disability. As a result, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone.
Concerned this would hold back Srikanth’s development, his family decided to send him to a special school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, earning awards in speech and debate competitions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying science when he reached 10th grade, because it was thought too dangerous for a blind student. Not wanting to give up, Sriksanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study science.
Later, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Srikanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees,70% of whom are physically challenged.
Being disabled doesn’t mean being unable. “If the world looks at me and says ‘Srikanth, you can do nothing’, I will look back at the world and say I can do anything,” says the young man.
24．What made little Srikanth live
A．His luck. B．His parents’ love.
C．A wonderful dream. D．A village’s common belief.
25．How did Srikanth’s family deal with his challenges in the regular school
A．By letting the child bear them.
B．By moving to another place.
C．By sending him to a special school.
D．By complaining to relevant departments.
26．Why was Srikanth refused to study science at first
A．He was too young to study it.
B．He was disliked by his teachers.
C．It was illegal for him to do so.
D．It was considered unsafe for the blind man.
27．What kind of person is Srikanth
A．Determined. B．Dishonest. C．Outspoken. D．Impatient.
C
Experts used to believe that people assess risk like actuaries (精算师), figuring out cost-benefit analyses every time a car came too close or local crime rates rose. But a wave of psychological experiments in the1980s denied this thinking.
Researchers found that people use a set of mental shortcuts for measuring danger. And they tend to do it unconsciously, meaning that instinct (直觉) can play a much larger role than they realize. Ideally, these shortcuts help people figure out which ones to worry about and which to disregard. But they can be imperfect.
When you encounter a potential risk, your brain does a quick search for past experiences with it. If it can easily pull up multiple alarming memories, then your brain concludes the danger is high. But it often fails to assess whether those memories are truly representative.
A classic example is airplane crashes. If two happen continuously, flying suddenly feels scarier—even if your conscious mind knows that those crashes are a statistical aberration (统计异常)with little influence on the safety of your next flight. But if you then take a few flights and nothing goes wrong, your brain will most likely start telling you again that flying is safe.
That tendency can cut in both directions, leading to either alarm or complacency (自大). Though flu kills tens of thousands of Americans every year, most peoples’ experiences with it are relatively ordinary. “We’re conditioned by our experiences,” said Paul Slovic, a University of Oregon psychologist. “But experience can mislead us to be too comfortable with things. We are also conditioned to focus heavily on new threats, looking for any cause for alarm. ”
Maybe the most powerful shortcut of all is emotion. Our brains translate emotional reactions into what we believe are reasoned conclusions, even if hard data tells us otherwise. The world in our heads is not a precise copy of reality. Our expectations about frequency of events are misinterpreted by the popularity and emotional intensity of the messages to which we are exposed.
28．What does the underlined word “disregard” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Fear. B．Ignore. C．Support. D．Prevent.
29．Why does the author give an example of airplane crashes
A．To demonstrate how to take a shortcut.
B．To emphasize the importance of experience.
C．To prove people are good at measuring risks.
D．To explain memories can be misleading.
30．What makes mental shortcut imperfect
A．Representative memories. B．Reasoned conclusions.
C．Scary reports. D．Misinterpreted messages.
31．Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A．How we stick to our beliefs B．How our brains evaluate threat
C．How our past experiences shape us D．How we make our best choices
D
Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone” thinks the same way Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization
A social media echo chamber (回声壁) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.
In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources. Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information. By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.
32．What is a result of the social media echo chamber
A．People contact like-minded online users effectively.
B．People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.
C．People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.
D．People only get information confirming their beliefs.
33．What does “beef up” underlined in paragraph 3 mean
A．Track. B．Improve.
C．Provide. D．Identify.
34．Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber
A．Criticizing fake news on social media.
B．Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.
C．Researching primary sources of information.
D．Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.
35．What is the purpose of the text
A．To call on people to use algorithms frequently.
B．To ask people not to take in information blindly.
C．To promote the use of various social media sites.
D．To inform people of new technology developments.
