19、WhichofthefollowingstatementsaboutthesocialmediacompaniesisNOTtrue?

A、Mostofthemareprivate.

B、Theyaregrowingfastinvalue.

C、Theyareenjoyinghugesumsofinvestment.

D^Theycontributegreatlytoworkforcemarket.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：根據(jù)第2段第3句nJ知"socialmediacompanies”提供的就業(yè)市場只占

美國勞動力市場微小的一部分，所以D是錯誤表述，正確選項。

20、Itiscriticaltoknowsocialmedia'scontributiontonationaleconomichealthbecause

A、itmakesSiliconValleybecomemorecompetitive

theinvestorsfromiheWallStreetneedtoknowit

C、itisofcrucialimportanceforfutureeconomy

D、itguaranteesthebenefitsofsocialmediafounders

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：雖然根據(jù)題干定位在第2段，但此題的答案實際在第3段的第I句，

由此句得出C選項。

21、Itisdifficulttoclarifysocialmedia'scontributiontonationaleconomichealth

because.

A、investmentreturnsareunclear

B、itisanewindustry

C、itisnotenvironmentfriendly

D、itisInternet-driven

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：由題干里的“Itisdifficult”可把答案所在地定位在第四段的首句。該句

里的“Theproblem”和“difficult”對應(yīng)。由此得出B選項。

22、Theexpression"thesamegap"(Para.5)refersto.

A^existenceofsocialmediaandregistrationofstatisticalradar

B、creationofnewcompaniesandmeasurementofproductivity

C、substantialeconomicgainsanddevelopmentofnewtechnology

D、economicbenefitsfromsocialmediaandlackofofficialstatistics

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：此題的答案在第5段第1句的后半部分“butaren'tyetregisteringonthe

statisticalradaf\意思是說“到目前為止還沒有數(shù)據(jù)顯示''，故D正確。

23、FordandZapposarecitedasexamplestoillustratethat.

A、Twitteristhebestsocial-mediatoolfbrcompanies

BNittakestimeforcompaniestobecomekeenonsocialmedia

C、companiescangeteconomicbenefitbyusingsocial-mediatools

D、bigcompaniesareplayingleadingrolesinusingsocial-mediatools

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點解析：舉例子是為了說明某一觀點，所以此題依靠“FordandZappos”定，立在

第五段第3句，但答案要根據(jù)這個例子前的一句觀點性的句子得出，即C答案。

24>Whoaremostunlikelytobenefitfromsocialmedia?

A、Peopleunemployed.

B、WallStreetinvestors.

C、Profitablecompanies.

D、Well-educatedpeople.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：根據(jù)第六段的陳述，作者認(rèn)為得益于社交媒體的人主要是受教育程度

和收入高的人，而不是社會地位較低的人，由此可把B、C、D排除。

25、Whatistheauthor'sattitudetosocialmedia'scontributiontonationaleconomic

health?

A、Indifferent.

B、Doubtful.

C^Positive.

D、Neutral.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：R

知識點解析：從全文看，作者對社交媒體能對社會經(jīng)濟健康增長做出貢獻沒有明確

的肯定，相反的，不斷地用疑問和轉(zhuǎn)折表達對其懷疑。故選B。

26、[Cl]

A、answers

B、responses

C>decisions

D、changes

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：從文章第一句得知，科學(xué)家希望得知疾病從哪里來，如何阻止它的傳

播。在它們尋找答案的研究中，有些科學(xué)家會去訪問地方博物館。"answer”是“答

案，，，科學(xué)家的研究是尋找答案。

27、[C2]

A、Therefore

B、Whatsoever

C^Instead

D、Since

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識點露析：去博物館并不是科學(xué)家在休息，而是要從博物館的收集物中，找到答

案。因此，選擇“instead”,意為“而是“，此處為轉(zhuǎn)折。

28、[C3]

A、consequences

B、clues

C、efforts

D^results

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：“l(fā)ookingforclues”意思是“尋找線索”，以幫助科學(xué)家研究疾病，挽救

生命。

29、[C4]

A^outline

B、outbreak

C、outcast

D^outfall

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識點解析：“hantavirus”是“漢他病毒”，從virus我們可以得知是一種病毒，此處

為舉例說明一個疾病暴發(fā)時候，科學(xué)家從博物館中找到線索。所以此處應(yīng)填寫

“outbreak”,疾病的爆發(fā)。

30、[C5]

A、causes

B、chooses

C、confirms

D、compares

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識點解析：致命的疾病會導(dǎo)致某些癥狀，比如類似流行性感冒的癥狀和呼吸困

難，因此選擇“cause"，意思是"導(dǎo)致

31、[C6]

A、progress

B、relevance

C、application

D、source

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識點解析：“sourceoftheoutbreak”，意思是“疾病爆發(fā)
