She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared.Her mother said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage!”“What’s courage?” she asked, running to her mother’s bed.“Courage is the brave breath,” her mother answered.“Mum, do you have courage?”“Certainly.”The girl held out her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow some of your breath of courage to me.”After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously, afraid thatthe “breath of courage” would run away. Then with her fists clenched,she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of ‘breath’ to me.

I see it in their feet.” he said. “If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they’re impatient with me. I don’t want to make people uncomfortable.“What about me? I asked.“I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level.I was the one who was nervous.” he said. “I don’t normally have someone look me in the eye.”“They don’t know what they’re missing,” I told him.“My old face is no thing to brag(自夸) about.” he said.“But that smile is so big.”Yes, and it’s not only a big smile but an attitude.41.The disabled man knew people were impatient mostly by their _________.A. wordsB. eyesC. feetD. smile42.The unlined word compassion is the closet in meaning to___________.A. attentionB. pityC. trustD. duty43.We learn that the disabled man _________.A. had great difficulty looking after himselfB. always asked people for helpC. couldn’t have a big smileD. liked to talk about people’s shoes44.The writer felt comfortable because _________.A. he had a nice talk to the manB. the man looked him in the eyeC. he didn’t move his feet before the manD. the man had a big smile on the face45.We can infer from the passage that _________.A. the disable man had something wrong with his mindB. not many people went down to the man’s levelC. the man was good at telling people about the worldD. the writer would not give the man move helpD.My name is woof.

Join in experiential learning.3．According to the text, students living on campus ________.A. are provided with good safetyB. will have access to a single roomC. can organize social activitiesD. are advised to direct showsSeveral weeks ago, I pulled an old road map out of the glove box and passed it to my children. They had never seen the Province of Ontario laid out like that before. They stared at the map, asking about all the towns, parks, and other landmarks we’d visited, and I pointed them out on the map.GPS is a modern wonder that has gotten me out of many confusing places, but paper maps still play a role in our lives. Most of us adults learned to read them out of necessity, but it’s up to us to pass on that s kill to children whose need may not be so obvious, but who still stand to benefit from it.As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic, “When kids learn how to create and use paper maps, they are doing more than just learning how to get around. They are actually developing fundamental skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. Map skills still belong to today’s classroom.”As a child I had National Geographic maps taped on my bedroom walls. This aroused my curiosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geography and history lessons because they were tied to places I’d “seen”. Even now as a mother of four children, I’ve also spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child.Additionally, in this fast-changing world, unexpected events can rapidly influence one’s usual way of life. When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected, this old-fashioned skill can get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone. Last but not least, paper maps arouse “big picture” thinking, showing kids that there’s a much bigger world out there and helping to direct them within it.So, now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table.4．How did the children react when they were given the paper map?A. They seemed totally confused.B. They showed great curiosity.C. They considered it old-fashioned.D. They found it less convenient than GPS. 5．What might be the topic of the article written by Trevor Muir?A. The teaching focus in today’s classroom.B. The situations where paper maps are used.C. The necessity of digital maps in the modern world.D. The benefit of developing paper map skills for kids.6．Which of the following shows the author’s opinion?A. Internet connections are very reliable today.B. GPS will sooner or later replace paper maps.C. Paper maps provide kids with grand vision.D. Paper maps make people connected with each other.7．Which would be the best title for the text?A. It’s Time to Teach Kids to Read Paper MapsB. How to Teach Kids about Different Kinds of MapsC. It’s Time to Encourage Kids to Step into a Bigger WorldD. How to Teach Kids Fundamental Skills with Paper MapsFrom houses surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, British writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.Come for the attractive descriptions of Corf u landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages,Durrell, later known for his zookeeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is the 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so attractive, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow house, and the next minute you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one partautobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism (逃避现实) for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.8．Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?A. Risky.B. Busy.C. Tough.D. Diverse.9．What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?A. I shouldn’t have introduced my family.B. I couldn’t help introducing my family.C. I gave wrong information about my family.D. I introduced my family in a mistaken way.10．What are paragraphs 4—5 mainly about?A. The book’s writing featur e.B. Durrell’s rich imagination.C. Some interesting plots of the book.D. Some vivid descriptions of the island. 11．What is the purpose of this text?A. To describe an unusual place.B. To share an experience.C. To introduce a writing style.D. To recommend a book.Fifty percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less than two percent of Kenya’s population. This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast?A team of Danish scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running long distances. The Kalenjins live in high-elevation (高海拔) villages in western Kenya. People living there produce more red blood cells, which support the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Scientists believe there is a connection between increased red blood cells and low heart rates and that both may enable high-altitude athletes to outperform those who train at low elevation. The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have lower body mass indexes-a measure of body fat based on weight and height, and longer “birdlike” legs than Danish people.As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made the conclusion that the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed gene”. However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion. They owed their success to hard work and endless hours of training.Although the controversy (争议) over the “speed gene” remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farah’s experience offers an interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he wasn’t meeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan runners were training in England then. After he observed the Kenyans’ strict training routines and dedication to their sports, Farah began eating healthy foods and training harder than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah’s running career exploded. He has won seven world and Olympic titles in the 5,000m and regularly beats Kenya’s top runners.Farah’s story proves what Kenyans have known all along. Their “secret” is simple. Train hard, run fast and never give up.12．What interested the sports scientists?A. The Kenyan sports history.B. The Kalenjins’ running ability.C. The Kalenjins’ training methods.D. The Kenyans’ enthusiasm for sports. 13．According to Danish scientists, what leads to Kalenjins’ success?A. Physical condition.B. Living style.C. Hard training.D. Strong will.14．What do we know about the Danish research result?A. Danish people believe that it is the truth.B. Mo Farah finds the result astonishing.C. Kenyan runners think it is unacceptable.D. The world has attached great importance to it.15．Why is Mo Farah’s story mentioned in the text?A. To show running methods count.B. To encourage British athletes.C. To prove effort pays off.D. To support the gene theory.二、七选五16．For some people, the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story. ①_______ It develops children's language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and, later work.A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves. They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants(婴幼儿). ②_______The company Scholastic is a major U.S. publisher of children's books. Every two years, Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits. The 2015report saysonly 31percent of children in the U.S. read a book for fun almost every day.③_______ One is simply to have books in the home. Elizabeth Lyttleton, the mother of three, is lucky. Her mother once wrote and illustrated children's books, so the family always have plenty to read. She says all her children learn from books-but in different ways. ④_______ Researchers from the Scholastic company found that 80% of children surveyed-of all ages-say they love being read to. And children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it.⑤_______ Of all the six to 17-year-olds in the Scholastic study, more than 90% said their favorite books are the ones they chose for themselves.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.A. The Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books.B. Scholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child.C. A book does not have to be serious to be good for kids.D. For young children, parents should ask questions about the book.E. Do children still read for fun？F. Another way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them.G. But reading to children does more than create warm memories.三、完形填空（15空）At age 83, Barbara Humbert dreams of taking part in this year’s “Marathon for All” ra ceathletes to run the same race path as the Olympic marathon athletes.

Views are divided whether his acting should ② (control) by his emotions or his thoughts.First are those who say that an actor must feel the part he is playing. The greatest actors have always been those who wore ③(them) out in an hour’s time, because they felt the emotions they were acting out. The second group declares that all this is nonsense and that if an actor really felt his part, he would lose control of himself, and perhaps④ (actual) murder some other actor in a fight scene. Acting is an art ⑤ the artist can express things that he does not feel.Still a third school declares that both these views are wrong, and that acting is neither ⑥matter of thought nor of emotion, but is purely imitative.

I stood still as if my shoes had been glued to the floor. I had no intention of takinga cup of anything to anyone, supervisor or not.I had seen with my own eyes what such behavior did to a woman. It happened to Mrs. Wilson next door. Old Mr. Wilson couldn’t put in his own false teeth without his wife’s assistance, let alone make himself lunch. It was a miserable union. I vowed by age eight that I would never live like her.I adopted the motto: Don’t help those who won’t help themselves.I rushed to the file room and pulled my phone. I explained to my father what had happened and asked his advice on what to do, only to be asked back. He must have forgotten the unwritten rule between us about not answering a question with a question. Fortunately, I came up with an idea that would have the best of both worlds.I took up the files and headed for the coffee pot. I took two cups and made two cups of coffee. Then I walked into the boss’ office with a cup of coffee in each hand. I handed my boss a cup of coffee and drank at the same time as him.“Let’s take a break,” partway through the meeting, my boss stood, saying. “I need more coffee.” I picked up my empty cup. “I do, too,” I said, and handed it to him across the table. “Thanks,” I added, looking at him expectantly. The boss was staggered for a moment, and then took the cup from me.When I finally left my boss’ office, I hid in the bathroom and called my dad. My father’s laughter on the phone made me feel even prouder.1. Why does the author mention the Wilsons?A．To show how the couple grew old together.B．To picture what she will be like when she ages.C．To stress her opposition to inequality in society.D．To explain her unwillingness to serve the coffee.2. What did the author mean by bringing two cups of coffee to meet the boss?A．She meant to share instead of serving.B．She planned to have the boss serve her later.C．She intended to play a trick on her mean boss.D．She wanted to save the trouble of doing it again.3. What does the underlined word “staggered” mean in the sixth paragra ph?A．Annoyed. B．Shocked. C．Confused. D．Excited.4. What can we learn about the author from the text?A．She figured out how to show respect for her superior.B．She found it practical to seek solutions from her father.C．She took a sensible approach to standing up for herself.D．She considered it significant to fight against men bravely.3. Plastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their fi ndings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process —not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂1. What can we learn about the worms in the study?A．They take plastics as their everyday food.B．They are newly evolved creatures.C．They can consume plastics.D．They wind up in landfills.2. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .A．identify other means of the breakdownB．find out the source of the enzymeC．confirm the research findingsD．increase the breakdown speed3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .A．help to raise wormsB．help make plastic bagsC．be used to clean the oceansD．be produced in factories in future4. What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain a study method on worms.B．To introduce the diet of a special worm.C．To present a way to break down plastics.D．To propose new means to keep eco-balance.4. Catherine Garland, a physics professor, started seeing “the problem” in 2019. She’d laid out the assignment clearly during an engineering course, but student after student was calling her over for help. They were all getting the same error message: The program couldn’t find their files.Garland thought it would be an easy fix. She asked each student where they had saved their project. “Could they be on the desktop? Perhaps in the Documents folder?” But over and over, she was met with confusion. “What are you talking about?” multiple students inquired. Gradually, Garland came to the realization: the concept of file folders and directories, essential to previous generations, understanding of computers, is gibberish to many modern students.Garland’s mental model is commonly known as “directory structure”, the hierarchical system (层级体系) of folders used to arrange files. What have caused the mental model to change? It is possible that many students spent their high school years storing documents in the cloud storage like OneDrive and Dropbox rather than in physical spaces. It could also have to do with the other apps they’re accustomed to. “When I want to scroll (滚屏) over to Snapchat, Twitter, they’re not in anyparticular order, but I know exactly where they are,” says Vogel, who is a devoted iPhone user. Some of it boils down to muscle memory.It may also be that in an age where every user interface includes a search function, young people have never needed folders or directories. The first internet search engines were used around 1990, but features like Windows Search are products of the early 2000s. While many of today’s professors grew up without sea rch functions, today’s students increasingly don’t remember a world without them.Some may blame the generational incompetence. An international study claimed that only 2 percent of Generation Z (born from 1997 onwards) had achieved the “digital native” le vel of computer literacy. But the issue is likely not that modern students are learning fewer digital skills, but rather that they’re learning different ones. Garland, for all her knowledge of directory structure, doesn’t understand Instagram nearly as wel l as her students do. “They use computers one way, and we use computers another way,” Garland emphasizes. “That’s where the problem lies.”1. The word “gibberish” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________.A．common B．accessible C．nonsense D．fundamental2. What can be concluded from paragraph 3 and 4?A．There is no search function in the directory structure.B．College professors have weaker muscles than students do.C．Modern students like to store documents in physical drives.D．The change in mental models reflects the progress in technology.3. By mentioning Garland’s and Vogel’s stories, the author________.A．highlights the different mindsets of two generationsB．criticizes modern students’ overuse of online appsC．shows the diff iculty of teaching today’s studentsD．calls on a change in the education of physics4. According to the passage, what can best address “the problem” mentioned at the beginning and the ending?A．Teaching students directory structure.B．Improving generational understanding.C．Enhancing Generation Z’s digital skills.D．Urging teachers to learn search functions.5. Die clicks a button and watches as her neighborhood is flooded. The shorelines are first to go. 1 . By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes.Die moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated（仿真的）view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most bothersome: 2 Communicating the realness and immediacy（紧迫）of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to cut down what it causes. But it's also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. 3 That's why Die and other residents are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual（模拟）reality headsets and watch their homes be flooded.4 . It has partnered（合作）with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt（采用）a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. 5 . But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation（模拟）being used at Turner Station, says James, one of the program's developers. "The goal," he says, "is to start a conversation and help folks visualize（想象）the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them."6.

It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He used to take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library for children from low-income families.Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 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. Gutiérrez’s community library is a true representation of how one man’s garbage can be another’s treasure.Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutiérrez.Today, his makeshift community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home in southern Bogota, and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books! As the word began to spread about his amazing project, people began sending him many more books to grow his library.Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create spaces for school children to spend their time reading.Gutiérrez’s journey to give back to his local community is an amazing example of howevery one of us can improve the lives of those around us. How might we take a leaf out of Gutiérrez’s books and impact the less fortunate around us?4．What inspired Gutiérrez to rescue unwanted books?A．The abandoned Anna Karenina.B．Leo Tolstoy’s life.C．Children’s living conditions.D．A community library.5．Why did Gutiérrez start “The Strength of Words”?A．To create a harmonious neighborhood.B．To give his mother sufficient books.C．To promote children’s reading.D．To improve the community life.6．What can best describe Gutiérrez?A．Devoted and talented.B．Intelligent and generous.C．Passionate and well-educated.D．Creative and caring.7．What would be the best title for the text?A．Desire for Reading B．From Garbage to TreasureC．Gutiérrez’s Life D．An Amazing Model of EducationI wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It’s addressed to one person, but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it.To my friend A,All you ever seem to hear about parenthood is negative. I do not feel this. You create a new life in that child, and with that baby, you get a new life, too. When I became a mother, my own mother’s embrace, and my father’s, not to mention my extended family’s, have kept me going.We are used to hearing about how motherhood limits your life, less so about how it can expand it. I have always believed that life is fundamentally about human relationships, and havinga baby has enhanced mine. Becoming a mother—and giving birth—has enhanced my feelings of unity with other women. Parenting has also allowed me to experience childhood again. I have always wanted to give someone else a childhood. My wide-eyed little boy is at the stage where he is simply in love with the world, and that love is thrillingly unconditional. It is a privilege to witness, and it makes me determined to maintain it for him as much as I am able to, because his laugh is the best sound that I have ever heard.A note about sleep: you will be OK—you’ve had enough wild nights to know you can cope. And you can get your body back, whatever that might mean to you. As for your career, it’s normal to worry. I speak only for myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time worrying beforehand about how I would write. I have far less time, now, but I’m still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up to a novel, eventually. There is so much untapped joy and love there waiting for you, and I hope I’ve given you a small glimpse of some of it to hold on to.8．Who might be the intended audience for this article?A．Self-centered parents.B．Those fearing to have a baby.C．Broken-hearted friends.D．Those avoiding marriage.9．How does the author mainly make her arguments convincing?A．By explaining ideas.B．By quoting sayings.C．By comparing facts.D．By concluding opinions.10．Why does the author give examples of her writing in the last paragraph?A．To show how successful she was as a writer.B．To note that where there is a will there is a way.C．To tell her friend that giving birth is a piece of cake.D．To persuade her friend not to worry about her career.11．Which column may the article be chosen from?A．Opinion.B．Headline.C．Health.D．Culture.For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable and consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the blood-brain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no.The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies.The effect is two-way. There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread.The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier.It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven.12．What do the researchers focus on about the brain?A．Its protecting system.B．Its exposure to diseases.C．Its controlling function.D．Its connection to the body.13．How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2?A．By explaining a theory.B．By providing examples.C．By making comparisons.D．By presenting cause and effect. 14．Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier?A．Cheaper.B．More specific.C．Safer.D．More direct.15．What does the study suggest in the last paragraph?A．Brain health depends on immune changes.B．Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions.C．The brain can help enhance psychological health.D．The brain may be key to treating physical diseases.For many websites, there is tons of information that’s inaccurate, or just crazy. 16 With that in mind, here are four ways to find reliable websites.Look for established institutions (确立的机构). 17 However, what you want are sites associated with trusted institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability. Such sites may include those run by government agencies, nonprofit organizations or universities.Consult sites with expertise (专门知识). You wouldn’t go to the hospital to have your car repaired. This is an obvious point. 18 For example, if you’re writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical websites like The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Avoid commercial (商业的) sites. Sites run by companies and businesses—their websites usually end with “.com”—are often trying to sell you something. And if they’re trying to sell you something, chances are whatever information they’re presenting will be tilted (偏向) in favor of their product. 19 But be cautious (谨慎).20 Respected websites often link to each other. You can find out which other websites link to the site you’re researching by conducting a link-specific Google search. If lots of sites are linking to your site, and those sites seem reliable, that’s a good sign. Then it seems that you don’t need to worry too much.A．Check the links.B．Enter the following text into the search field.C．Look for websites that specialize in what you’re seeking.D．If a website seems old, it’s probably best to keep distance from it.E．The Internet is full of websites that were started five minutes ago.F．That’s not to say commercial sites should be screened (屏蔽) entirely.G．For inexperienced researchers, these sites can cause a wide range of problems.二、完形填空Anna was a 9-year-old girl from a small village.
