21、Discussions about the impact of false news often center on our preference of confirmation: we tend to believe and share things that fit with our prior beliefs. A new study finds that we're poor judges of truthfulness even when we can't trust a particular source—and we overestimate our powers of judgment.

In three experiments, the researchers asked participants to record two short videos, one to describe a real-life news event and one to make up an event. They were told they would get a reward if viewers thought that the events described in either video were true. Viewers, for their part, were paid both for accuracy and for correctly estimating their accuracy.

Across all the experiments, viewers’ ability to distinguish lies from truth stayed at or just above 50%, just like flipping(抛) a coin to decide. They believed false videos and doubted true ones. More than 65% of men and 61% of women thought they'd performed better than they actually had.

In one of the experiments, the researchers explored whether certain behaviors exhibited in the videos were associated with lying. This pointed to several clues, and analysis suggested that viewers noticed the clues, but they tended to interpret them in the wrong direction. For example, they judged wordier videos to be true.

In the final experiment, some viewers were shown eight videos, including one shared by a previous viewer because he or she found it to be interesting and believable. They selected one of the eight to watch and assess for truthfulness. Knowing that a video had been shared greatly increased the chances that participants would choose it to watch, and they believed what the previous viewer had thought to be true. Actually most of the shared videos were false and had been misjudged by the first viewers.

“The combination of overconfidence and being bad at detecting lies, with an overreliance on shared content, may explain why fake news is so prominent and influential,” the researchers write.

【1】How do people judge false news according to the new study?

A．On the basis of careful research.

B．According to personal preferences.

C．Based on the influence of the news.

D．After attending a group discussion.

【2】What can we learn about the participants in the experiments?

A．Most of them performed better than expected.

B．Some of them flipped coins to make a judgment.

C．They tended to see the clues in the opposite way.

D．They made good judgment when given good clues.

【3】What affected the judgment of some participants in the final experiment?

A．The opinions of previous viewers.

B．Their ability to tell lies from truth.

C．The number of videos offered to them.

D．The nature of the behaviors in the videos.

【4】What's the text mainly about?

A．It's important to tell false news from real news.

B．Shared videos usually carry misjudged news.

C．False news is made by combining several forces.

D．Preferences determine our judgment of fake news.

22、   This summer’s surprise hit at movie theaters across China was the re-telling of the ancient myth (神话) of Nezha. The animated film has taken in over four billion yuan at the box office and become one of the country’s most successful films ever. It proved that China could produce animation films comparable to those produced in Hollywood and Japan.

The film, directed by Yang Yu, was a massive undertaking from start to finish. He spent two years writing the script (剧本) and three more years making a film which required the efforts of 1,600 animators. But for Yang it was a labor of love and a way, as he said, he could prove to himself that he could change his fate and inspire others to change their fate as well.

“I used to suffer from a lot of prejudice after changing my career,” said Yang, who had studied pharmacology (药理学) at university and was “fated” to be a pharmacist. “Since then I have thought about making an animated film to encourage young people to persist in their dreams.”

Over the years, I have come across a few students who were labelled as “devils.” Some misbehaved simply because they were not mature enough. Others were disruptive (引起混乱的) and uncooperative when they were in a bad mood. They usually had family problems in the form of overly critical mothers or fathers that were too strict. For those students, a great deal of compassion and understanding was required to let them know they were not “fated” to be bad. As they grew up, they would have the power to change their circumstance.

If you have seen Nezha, you know what a terrific, entertaining film it is. But the film also imparts (传授) an important lesson: We should not judge ourselves or others too harshly(严厉地), so as not to allow those negative judgments to control our fate.

【1】According to the article, what’s the similarity between Yang Yu and the Nezha in his new film?

A.They were both born into wealthy families.

B.They both rose to fame at an early age.

C.They both make every effort to realize their dreams.

D.They both take control of their own fate.

【2】It can be inferred from the article that _______.

A.Chinese people used to have a prejudice against homegrown animated films

B.Yang Yu was inspired to make the film Nezha because he dropped out of college

C.Nezha develops a close relationship with Ao Bing in the new film

D.the author is a little critical of parents who were too strict with their children

【3】According to the author, it is unfair to _____.

A.show prejudice against the Dragon King

B.criticize those who play practical jokes on others

C.label a person and treat them differently

D.punish a person who is labeled as a “devil”

【4】We can most probably read this passage from ______.

A.a travel magazine B.an ad booklet

C.a blog D.a fiction novel

24、   Some experts say muscle loss begins around age 50. But others say it can start as early as age 30. Although muscle loss may be a natural part of aging , you can do some things to slow it down. Lost muscles are not gone forever. It is better to start building muscles when you are younger and in good health. Experts may not know exactly when muscle loss starts , but it is never too late to start strength training.

Simply put , strength training is what makes one's muscles stronger, Let us talk about some of the health benefits of strength training. This information comes from Harvard Medical School and the Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit health and research organization in the United States.

Harvard University researchers say that strength training puts pressure on your bones. This pressure can aggrandize the thickness or density of bones. This can reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis — a disease that weakens bones, making them easy to break, usually when people get older or because they do not have enough calcium or Vitamin D. And experts say strength training can reduce the problems of many long-term disorders, such as back pain, heart disease, diabetes and depression.

Considering it's easy for people to run to fat when getting older, strength training can help you take control of your weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. But muscle increases your metabolism （新陈代谢），and a higher metabolism helps you burn more calories.

Strength training can improve your ability to take activities. For example, having stronger muscles makes it easier to lift and move things. So, your risk of falling or getting injured may be lessened. As we age, this can greatly add to our quality of life. And some research shows that regular strength training, when combined with other kinds of exercise, may help older adults think and learn better.

The aging process affects the human body in many ways. It is believed that strength training can have a major effect on a person's life, so consider motivating others to join you in the many physical and emotional benefits of strength training.

【1】What can we conclude according to the first paragraph?

A.Muscle loss has become a big threat for the young,

B.Lost muscles can come back by taking strength training.

C.Experts will do research about when muscles lose.

D.Being inactive in life can speed up the aging process.

【2】Which can replace the underlined word “aggrandize" in the third paragraph?

A.Protect. B.Improve. C.Prevent. D.Influence.

【3】What benefit can strength training bring to the old?

A.It can lift the level of calcium or Vitamin D.

B.It can control the metabolism to some extent.

C.It can cure some of their long-term disorders.

D.It can help perform their routines easily.
