Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually he turned his book collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another world while absorbed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez’s library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books.
4. What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library
A. The dilemma he faced on the night shift.
B. The hobby he has started since childhood.
C. Famous novelists he liked very much.
D. Abandoned books he came across at work.
5. What can we learn about Gutierrez’s mother
A. She was born into a poor family.
B. She bought Gutierrez many books.
C. She influenced Gutierrez greatly.
D. She enjoyed reading Hugo’s works.
6. What does the underlined phrase “call it a day” in the last paragraph mean
A. Take the time.
B. Stop the work.
C. Make a change.
D. Receive a reward.
7. What does Gutierrez’s story tell us
A. A book holds a house of gold.
B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Good things come to those who wait.
D. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，介绍了清洁工Gutierrez将废弃书籍收集起来，创建社区图书馆，为低收入家庭提供阅读机会的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library. (这件事发生在他晚上开着垃圾车经过富裕社区，看到了被遗弃的书时。这激发了他开始从垃圾中拯救书籍的愿望。在9小时的轮班后，他每天早上带回家50到60本书。最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”可知，Gutierrez在工作中偶然发现的废弃书籍启发了他创建社区图书馆。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. (然而，他的母亲是一个热心的读者，每天晚上读故事给他听。她对书籍的热爱给Gutierrez留下了深刻的印象，他从未让缺乏正规教育阻止他阅读维克多·雨果、马里奥·巴尔加斯·略萨和加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯等人的经典作品。)”可知，Gutierrez的母亲对书籍的热爱让Gutierrez即使贫困也坚持阅读。由此可知，她对Gutierrez的影响很大。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“Despite having done so much for his community (尽管他为他的社区做了这么多)”及后文“He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books. (他继续在垃圾箱里寻找阅读材料，甚至前往墨西哥和智利的书展，推广他用废弃书籍建造图书馆的想法。)”可知，Gutierrez并没有停下从垃圾箱里找书籍的目标，甚至还想推广自己的想法，因此，call it a day与stop the work意思相近，意为“停止工作”。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中的“It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library. (这激发了他开始从垃圾中拯救书籍的愿望。在9小时的轮班后，他每天早上带回家50到60本书。最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”可知，本文讲述了Gutierrez将废弃书籍收集起来，创建社区图书馆，为低收入家庭提供阅读机会的故事。A. 书中自有黄金屋；B. 早起的鸟儿有虫吃；C. 好事多磨；D. 变废为宝。因此，D项最契合文章主题。故选D项。
C
Mosquitoes carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering to make the annoying insects into partners in the fight against the disease.
For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that approach is temporary,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, “Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly rebound.”
Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from traditional ways of controlling malaria.
To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says. But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a tough job.
To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes from mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.
It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host.
James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be conducted on an island or in another isolated location.
But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that naturally occurring methods for reducing malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that can’t be recalled once it’s released into the wild ” she asks.
8. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs
A. Mosquitoes reproduce quickly.
B. Mosquitoes depart from malaria.
C. Mosquitoes are malaria-fighting warriors.
D. Mosquitoes’ populations are under control.
9. According to the text, which of the following are attractive to the malaria pathogen
A. Mice. B. Parasites. C. Mosquitoes. D. Gene-edited mosquitoes.
10. What is environmentalists’ attitude toward this new approach
A. Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Limiting Malaria by Controlling Mosquito Populations
B. Controlling Malaria by editing Mosquitoes’ genes
C. Curing Malaria with Gene-edited Mosquitoes
D. Preventing Malaria with a new vaccine
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍科学家想通过编辑蚊子的基因来控制疟疾，但环保人士反对这一做法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly rebound. (因为蚊子是非常顽强的小昆虫，它们的数量可以迅速回升)”可知，蚊子的繁殖速度很快。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. (疟疾病原体是一种生长在人体内的寄生虫。它通过蚊子在人与人之间传播，吸血)”以及“If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease (如果我们能让蚊子难以让病原体存活，我们就能消灭这种疾病)”可知，蚊子能吸引疟疾病原体。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists.(但是，改变野生动物的基因并不受环保人士的欢迎)”和“Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that can’t be recalled once it’s released into the wild (为什么要冒不必要的风险，释放一个一旦被释放到野外就无法召回的物种 )”推知，环保人士对改变蚊子基因来消灭疟疾的方法是反对的。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段“Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from traditional ways of controlling malaria. (因此，詹姆斯和他的同事们想尝试一种不同的方法：让蚊子自己成为抗击疟疾的战士，这与控制疟疾的传统方法完全不同)”和倒数第三段“It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host. (事实证明，经过基因编辑的蚊子产生的抗疟疾抗体效果非常好。它们减少了蚊子体内寄生虫的数量，然后将它们传给人类宿主)”可知，本文主要介绍科学家想通过编辑蚊子的基因来控制疟疾。故B项“Controlling Malaria by editing Mosquitoes’ genes (通过编辑蚊子基因控制疟疾)”可作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。
D
In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sight to begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls”. Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
12. What’s the feature of the attention economy
A. It offers little information. B. It focuses on depressing stories.
C. It saves time for Internet users. D. It seeks profits from each click.
13. 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.
14. What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A. Reveal their intention. B. Turn a deaf ear to them.
C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Reasons for developing critical thinking in modern times.
B. Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
C. Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D. Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了在数字时代练习批判性忽视的技巧。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.”（正如研究人员指出的那样，我们生活在一个注意力经济中，互联网上的内容生产者在争夺我们的注意力。他们用大量的情感和引人注目的故事来吸引我们，而提供的有用信息却很少，所以他们可以让我们接触到盈利的广告。因此，我们不再是客户而是产品，我们点击的每一个链接都是在销售我们的时间和注意力。）可知，注意力经济的特点是它从每次点击中寻求利润。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sight to begin with.”（成功的节食者需要把不健康的食物远离他们的家。同样，我们需要建立一个数字环境，让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线。就像节食一样，如果一个人试图依靠意志力不去点击引人注目的“新闻”，他肯定会失败。所以，最好一开始就把它们藏起来。）可推知，作者在第三段提到节食者，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数字环境，展示环境的重要性。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.”（喷子是指故意在网上传播虚假和有害信息以造成伤害的行为者。回复他们澄清事实可能很有吸引力，但喷子只关心惹恼别人，而不是事实。所以，最好不要用我们的关注来奖励他们的坏行为。）可知，对付网络喷子，我们最好对他们充耳不闻。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.”（但马克斯·普朗克人类发展研究所的心理学家阿纳斯塔西娅·科兹列娃(Anastasia Kozyreva)和她的同事认为，在数字时代，一项更重要的技能是至关重要的忽视。）和第三段中“According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies.”（科兹列娃认为，批判性忽视包括三种策略）后文具体介绍这三种策略，所以本文主要讲的是在数字时代练习批判性忽视的技巧。故选B项。

【16题详解】
根据上文“Saying “thank you” when you receive an unexpected gift is all well and good, but how can you get a little creative with your appreciation As it turns out, there are plenty of ways to express your gratitude to others while remaining gracious and sincere.(当你收到一份意想不到的礼物时，说声“谢谢”当然很好，但是你怎么才能在表达感激的时候有点创意呢？事实证明，在保持亲切和真诚的同时，有很多方法可以表达你对他人的感激之情)”以及后文“We’ll show you how to say thank you in exciting and meaningful ways!(我们将向你展示如何用令人兴奋和有意义的方式说谢谢！)”可知，后文提到了“展示如何用令人兴奋和有意义的方式说谢谢”。由此可知，本句是在设定收到了礼物的情况。故E选项“在日常生活中，你可能会收到别人的礼物”符合语境，故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“I appreciate this.(我很感谢)”以及后文“A great “thank you” involves expressing appreciation for the gift and explaining why you’re grateful. For added value, you can even describe what you’ll do with their gifts if you have an idea.(一个好的“谢谢”包括表达对礼物的感激和解释你为什么感激。为了增加价值，你甚至可以描述如果你有一个想法，你将如何处理他们的礼物)”可知，后文提到了“一个好的“谢谢”包括表达对礼物的感激和解释你为什么感激”，F选项Be specific about what you appreciate and why可对应后文explaining why you’re grateful。故F选项“具体说明你感谢什么以及为什么感谢”符合语境，故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“You’ve made my day! Show them that their gifts turned your day around. Telling someone that they made your day will make the giver feel that their gifts are much more meaningful and worthwhile.(你让我很开心！让他们知道他们的礼物改变了你的一天。告诉别人他们让你的一天变得美好，会让送礼者觉得他们的礼物更有意义、更有价值)”可知，上文提到了“告诉别人他们让你的一天变得美好，会让送礼者觉得他们的礼物更有意义、更有价值”，本句为本段最后一句，故继续说明这一做法给送礼者的好处：他们会很高兴他们能让你微笑。故G选项“他们会很高兴他们能让你微笑”符合语境，故选G。

Show them how touched you are by letting them know that their gifts are exactly what you want.(他们很可能真的了解你，不用问你想要什么就能预测到你的需求！让他们知道他们的礼物正是你想要的，以此来表达你的感动)”可知，本句为后文的前半句，后文提到了送礼的人真的很了解你，说明有人送礼物给你。故B选项“当有人给你礼物的时候”符合语境，故选B。
【20题详解】
根据本段内容“Show them how surprised you are. If someone goes out of their way to give you an unexpected gift, make sure they know they succeeded in their mission to surprise and delight you. Say “thanks” and express your shock at the same time.(告诉他们你有多惊讶。如果有人特意送你一份意想不到的礼物，一定要让他们知道他们成功地给了你惊喜和快乐。说“谢谢”，同时表达你的震惊)”可知，本段给出的表达感谢是说自己十分惊讶，A选项中astonished对应后文surprised。故A选项“我非常惊讶”符合语境，故选A。

Determined to gather enough money for his education, Tom decided to start a challenging journey, going door to door selling various items. Little did he know, his life was about to change with the arrival of a compassionate (有同情心的) young woman named Lucy.

With renewed determination, Tom devoted himself to his studies, working diligently to overcome the obstacles that lay in his path. He strived for excellence and seized every learning opportunity that came his way. Tom’s pursuit of knowledge eventually paid off, pushing him towards a bright and successful future.
Years passed, and Tom worked hard and never gave up. He did really well in his chosen job and people respected him. Even though he achieved a lot, he never forgot how kind Lucy was to him.
One day, fate made Tom see Lucy when she was having a tough time. Even after a long time, Tom recognized her right away and knew he owed her something. Remembering how kind Lucy had been, Tom felt a strong urge to repay Lucy’s kindness, so he went to her and thanked her sincerely. He promised to stand by her side during her tough times.

Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another world while absorbed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez’s library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books.
4. What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library
A. The dilemma he faced on the night shift.
B. The hobby he has started since childhood.
C. Famous novelists he liked very much.
D. Abandoned books he came across at work.
5. What can we learn about Gutierrez’s mother
A. She was born into a poor family.
B. She bought Gutierrez many books.
C. She influenced Gutierrez greatly.
D. She enjoyed reading Hugo’s works.
6. What does the underlined phrase “call it a day” in the last paragraph mean
A. Take the time.
B. Stop the work.
C. Make a change.
D. Receive a reward.
7. What does Gutierrez’s story tell us
A. A book holds a house of gold.
B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Good things come to those who wait.
D. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
C
Mosquitoes carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying to use genetic engineering to make the annoying insects into partners in the fight against the disease.
For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that approach is temporary,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California, Irvine, “Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly rebound.”
Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from traditional ways of controlling malaria.
To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says. But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a tough job.
To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes from mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the mosquitoes.
It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host.
James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be conducted on an island or in another isolated location.
But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that naturally occurring methods for reducing malaria appear to be showing promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that can’t be recalled once it’s released into the wild ” she asks.
8. What can we know from the second and third paragraphs
A. Mosquitoes reproduce quickly.
B. Mosquitoes depart from malaria.
C. Mosquitoes are malaria-fighting warriors.
D. Mosquitoes’ populations are under control.
9. According to the text, which of the following are attractive to the malaria pathogen
A. Mice. B. Parasites. C. Mosquitoes. D. Gene-edited mosquitoes.
10. What is environmentalists’ attitude toward this new approach
A. Tolerant. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.

In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sight to begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls”. Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
12. What’s the feature of the attention economy
A. It offers little information. B. It focuses on depressing stories.
C. It saves time for Internet users. D. It seeks profits from each click.
13. 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.
14. What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A. Reveal their intention. B. Turn a deaf ear to them.
C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Reasons for developing critical thinking in modern times.
B. Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
C. Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D. Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users.
