【解析】根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞可定位到第四段第二句“Curriculums—from grammar school to college—should evolve to focus less on memorizing facts and more on creativity and complex communication”。由該句可知，課程應(yīng)該更關(guān)注創(chuàng)造性和復(fù)雜的溝通而非記憶事實。所以，應(yīng)該選C選項creative potential(創(chuàng)造潛能)，同義替換為creativity。

　　24、【答案】D preventing the income gap from widening

　　【解析】該題考查作者的觀點，根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞可定位到第六段第一句“Finally, because automation threatens to widen the gap between capital income and labor income, taxes and the safety net will have to be rethought”。由該句可知，由于自動化加大了資本收入和勞動力收入的差距，所以應(yīng)該重新考慮稅收和安全網(wǎng)(保障措施)，即稅收政策應(yīng)該避免收入差距擴大，選D選項preventing the income gap from widening。

　　25、【答案】B possible solutions to it

　　【解析】作者在文章第一、二段提出問題“中產(chǎn)階級受自動化危害最大”之后，第三段的末尾句提出中產(chǎn)階級需要幫助去適應(yīng)自動化的發(fā)展，接下來第四段至第六段介紹解決方法，最后一段表明作者觀點。所以應(yīng)該選B 選項possible solutions to it(解決問題的相應(yīng)方法)。

　　26、【答案】[D] social media as a reliable source of news

　　【解析】雙段推理題。根據(jù)題目定位到第1段和第2段，雙段推理優(yōu)先考慮雙段主旨。第一段中心句為最后一句話：Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered through other sources, not a president’s social media platform�！扒ъ�一代喜歡白宮直接發(fā)布的消息…而不是總統(tǒng)社交媒體發(fā)布的信息”，說明他們不太信任社交媒體。第2段中心為第二句轉(zhuǎn)折之后，說明對于社交媒體的不信任上升。故雙段中心都和他們不信任社交媒體相關(guān)。結(jié)合以上信息，得出社交媒體信息不可靠，選擇D。

　　27、【答案】[A] sharpen

　　【解析】詞匯釋義題。根據(jù)題目定位到第2段第2句：Yet as distrust has risen toward all media,people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills。句子的情感色彩判斷，因為逗號前提到“人們對于所有媒體的不信任增加”，可以推知人們應(yīng)該開始增強其媒體素養(yǎng)的技能，故選A。

　　28. 【答案】B verify news by referring to diverse sources.

　　【解析】范例證明題。根據(jù)題干定位至第三段第二句話。因為某項研究一般是論據(jù)證明前面的論點，故答案應(yīng)該位于第一句話“Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at seperating fact from fiction in cyberspace.” 說明答案應(yīng)該“和年輕人更容易把網(wǎng)絡(luò)中的事實和虛假信息區(qū)分開來”，故答案為B“驗證新聞的真?zhèn)巍�。為了精確可以在論據(jù)中去驗證，論據(jù)中提到“verify stories”, “cross check sources”和“prefer news from different perspectives”，都是和多重角度驗證信息真?zhèn)蜗嚓P(guān)的。

　　29. 【答案】C readers’ misinterpretation

　　【解析】事實細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干定位至第五段第三句found之后a main reason對應(yīng)the top reason，而原文剩余信息為“reader error”, 所以應(yīng)該和讀者相關(guān)。Error應(yīng)該對應(yīng)misinterpretation, 故答案為C readers’ misinterpretation。若本句不清晰，下句進(jìn)一步說明答案的內(nèi)容，文中misintepretation or exerggeration of actual news進(jìn)一步印證C為正確答案。

　　30. 【答案】A A Rise in Critical Skills for Sharing News Online

　　【解析】全文主旨題。本篇文章屬于篇首轉(zhuǎn)折，二段轉(zhuǎn)折之后為全文主旨，yet之后說道：“Yet as distrust has risen toward all media, people may be strarting to beef up their media literacy skills”.“隨著對于所有媒體不信任的上升，人們開始增強其媒體素養(yǎng)的技能”，故答案為A。為了驗證，可以看篇末，篇末重申主題，so之后講道“so when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president, they reaveal a mental discipline in thinking skills-and in their choices on when to share on social media.” 更進(jìn)一步說明和人們批判性看待社交媒體上的新聞相關(guān)。

　　31、【答案】[B] It failed to pay due attention to patients’ rights.

　　【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的NHS, DeepMind和agreement回文定位第一段第四句“It is against that background that the information commissioner, has issued her damning verdict against the Royal Free hospital trust under the NHS, which handed over to DeepMind the records of 1.6 million patients in 2015 on the basis of a vague agreement which took far too little account of the patients’ rights and their expectations of privacy”。根據(jù)a vague agreement which took far too little account of the patients’ rights and their expectations of privacy這一部分的語義信息，說明NHS與DeepMind之間的協(xié)議沒有充分考慮到病人的權(quán)利與隱私。這句話的言外之意就是協(xié)議未能充分關(guān)注病人的權(quán)利。故確定答案為選項B，其中failed to是took far too little account的同義改寫。
