【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Often, news reports on health and medicine can be confusing. Large newspapers, magazines, TV networks, and radio stations often have medical【1】(journalist) to cover developments in health and medicine. Their job is to report scientific information in a way that's easy for ordinary people【2】(understand). Many health stories are 【3】 (accuracy) and balanced. But not all are. Sometimes, a journalist tries to quickly change information to a short news story, and he/she may oversimplify the information. In that case, 【4】you see may not be the whole picture.
So you need to get closer to a 【5】 (true) when you come across a news report online. To achieve this, ask 【6】 (you) whether the news is based on a scientific study. Sometimes, although a study 【7】 (do) in people, it may not apply【8】you. For example, findings from studies involving only adults may not be true for teens. So 【9】 (know) the study's process matters too. Besides, you can put keywords from 【10】 news report into a search engine and see what comes up. The results will give you many different perspectives(观点) so you're not relying on just one news report for the facts.
【答案】
【1】journalists
【2】to understand
【3】accurate
【4】what
【5】truth
【6】yourself
【7】is done
【8】to
【9】knowing
【10】the
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述网上有很多健康报道是不科学的,需仔细辨别。
【1】
考查名词复数。句意:大的报纸、杂志、电视网站和广播站常常有医疗记者来报道健康和医药的发展。journalist是可数名词,根据“Large newspapers, magazines, TV networks, and radio stations”可知,此处应使用复数形式,故填journalists。
【2】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们的工作是用一种普通人能理解的简单方式报道科学信息。“it is+形容词+to do sth.”是固定句型,意为“对某人来说做某事是……的”,it是形式主语,不定式是真正的主语,故填to understand。
【3】
考查形容词。句意:很多健康故事是准确的、全面公正的。根据空前的are可知,空处应填一个形容词和balanced并列作表语,故填accurate。
【4】
考查主语从句。句意:在那种情形下,你所看到的并不是整个画面。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句,引导词在从句中作宾语,表示“看到的东西”,应使用what引导,故填what。
【5】
考查名词。句意:所以当你在网上看到一篇新闻报道时,你需要更接近真相。根据空前的不定冠词a可知,空处应填一个名词,故填truth。
【6】
考查反身代词。句意:为了达到这个目标,问问你自己这个新闻是否以科学的调查为基础。分析句子结构可知,本句是祈使句,省略了主语you,空处作宾语,应使用相应的反身代词yourself,表示“问你自己”,故填yourself。
【7】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:有时,尽管一项调查是在人群中完成的,但它可能不适用于你。根据时间状语Sometimes可知用一般现在时,且主语a study和动词do之间是被动关系,应使用被动语态,主语是单数,故填is done。
【8】
考查介词。apply to是固定搭配,意为“适用于”,故填to。
【9】
考查非谓语动词。句意:所以知道研究过程也重要。分析句子结构可知,空处作主语,应使用动名词形式,故填knowing。
【10】
考查冠词。句意:此外,你可以把新闻报道中的关键词放进搜索引擎中,看看会出现什么。news report在上文中已出现,此处表示特指,故用定冠词the修饰,故填the。

【题目】On April 12th, two African American men walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia, and sat down to wait for their friend.Because they had not bought anything, an employee asked them to leave.When the two men refused, the employee called the police, and in minutes, they were arrested.It was not until later that day that they were let go.
The video of this incident posted on Twitter went viral.People across the US were outraged.Unfortunately, these practices are not uncommon today.This incident is just one example of implicit bias(内隐偏见), something that is a part of human nature.
Most of the time, implicit bias refers to people showing negative associations towards people of a different race.Starting from a young age, these feelings develop unconsciously and naturally, because our brain draws associations based on our background, cultural environment and personal experiences.
Implicit bias affects our everyday speech and actions and these unconscious decisions can be harmful to our society.There have been many examples of blacks unfairly killed by white officers, such as in the cases of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, which happened only two years ago.Implicit bias affects the justice system, our medical system where studies show minorities are less likely to be taken seriously, and job placements where white males are likely to be judged as more capable compared to women and other minorities.
Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and the police have publicly apologized to the two men, and Starbucks will be holding an anti-bias training meeting on May 29th. All Starbucks stores will be closed on that day.However, critics and experts have said that such training is done "for show" rather than to promote change.
To address this issue, many experts agree that what the world needs is a long-term program that targets the root cause.It also starts with promoting diversity in children from an early age when they have friends and playmates from different races and cultures.
【1】What does the underlined word "outraged" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Very angry. B. Quite curious. C. Very delighted. D. Quite puzzled.
【2】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The nature of implicit bias. B. The examples of implicit bias.
C. The basic concepts of implicit bias. D. The negative effects of implicit bias.
【3】What might experts think of the anti-bias training meeting?
A. It will be a shame for Starbucks B. lt will be a meaningless practice.
C. It will raise the police's reputation. D. lt will raise public awareness of anti-bias.
【4】What might many experts agree with?
A. Starbucks should be closed.
B. Implicit bias should be ignored.
C. Children should be taught to avoid implicit bias.
D. Implicit bias should be dealt with by the policemen.
