Mazzini said a few people told her in advance that they couldn't make it, but she wasn't prepared for everyone to be noshows.‎ Mazzini shared a photo of her son sitting alone in front of several pizzas on her social media page. That brought dozens and dozens of birthday wishes from around the country, as well as other gifts and offers.‎ ‎ “I live near Tampa, Florida, and heard about you via my local news，” one woman wrote on social media. “I hope you have a wonderful year and I'm sending you a big hug.” The biggest unexpected birthday present for Teddy came from the Phoenix Suns, who invited him to watch Wednesday night's game at the Talking Stick Resort Arena against the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James. The city's professional soccer club, the Phoenix Rising, also invited Teddy to join 7,000 of his closest friends at a playoff game on Friday.‎ But some on social media questioned Mazzini's decision to broadcast her son's humiliating day. “Don't embarrass this kid even more than he already is，” one woman wrote on the social networking website. “This is so wrong.”‎ ‎1．How may Teddy feel about his birthday party?‎ A．Relaxed.

But are they really reliable? Sites such as the micromessaging service, the social networking site and the photosharing app Instagram might “misrepresent the real world”， according to a study by computer scientists from McGill University and Carnegie Mellon University.‎ ‎ The scientists warn that gathering information about public views and trends from these sites is unwise. There are still large parts of the population who do not take part in social media activities. Also, there's a risk that many social media users are underrepresented. Instagram, for example, appeals to younger adults in urban areas while Pinterest is used mainly by females aged 25 to 34. And only 5 percent of the micromessaging service users are over 65 years old, according to the study. However, this is not the only issue, according to the scientific team. The design of a website can influence how people behave online, creating what the researchers call “Internet bias”. For example, microblogging sites such as Weibo promote “popular” stories. It saves time for some but it also limits readers' choice of what they see. In the end, many people open those stories and make them more “popular”. But it's not because they choose those stories. Rather, it is because the content is right in front of them.‎ ‎ Besides, it's possible that not everyone on your social networks is real. There might actually be a few fake accounts among them. Fake “bots” pretend to be humans and are often included when measuring or predicting human behaviors online.‎ ‎ The findings might be more important than you would think, since many social media studies are used to inform and justify decisions and investments among the public and in industry and government, according to Derek Ruths, an assistant professor of Computer Science at Mc Gill University.‎ ‎ If the team is right, you might have to think carefully next time you say, “It's true, you know; I read it on Weibo.”‎ ‎4．Why does the author mention the micromessaging and Instagram?‎ A．Because they are the best social media sites today.‎ B．Because they are not in favor of the current study.‎ C．Because the public are sharing truths on these sites.‎ D．Because information on these sites may not be reliable.‎ ‎5．How is the passage developed?‎ A．By giving examples. ‎ B．By making comparisons.‎ C．By dividing into groups. ‎ D．By analyzing causes.‎ ‎6．Which word can best describe the author's attitude toward information on social media sites?‎ A．Ambiguous. B．Favorable.‎ C．Disagreeable. D．Cautious.‎ ‎7．What's the author's main purpose in writing the passage?‎ A．To analyze why information gathered from social media sites may not be trustworthy.‎ B．To remind readers of things they should watch out for when using social media.‎ C．To point out the advantages and disadvantages of social media.‎ D．To recommend popular social networking sites for readers.‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 I left my job to begin building my startup before my son was born.

But are they really reliable？”可知，作者对社交媒体网站上读到所有的“真相”提出质疑；根据最后一段中的“If the team is right, you might have to think carefully next time”可知，作者对社交媒体上的信息持谨慎态度，故D项正确。‎ ‎7．答案与解析：B　考查写作意图。通读全文可知，网站上的信息让人眼花缭乱，往往存在片面性和误导性，从网站上收集关于公共观点和趋势的信息是不明智的。据此可以判断，本文旨在提醒读者，在使用社交媒体获取信息时应当小心，故B项正确。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 体裁：记叙文　题材：人与自我　主题：网上的一款游戏改变了作者 ‎【文章大意】　作者在创业之初失去一笔重要投资，而后开始害怕被人拒绝，为了克服这种恐惧感，他通过在网上搜索到的一款游戏来刻意寻求各种可能会遭到拒绝的机会，在这种尝试下，作者逐渐变得无畏，并懂得无论如何都不要被这个世界所忽视。‎ ‎1．答案与解析：C　根据下文中的“a major investment opportunity that could take my company to the next level”可知，在作者经营自己的事业四个月时，他找到一个可以将他的公司提升到一个新水平的重大投资机会。approach在此表示“接洽”，符合语境。employ“雇用”‎ ‎；honor“尊敬，给予表扬”；refuse“拒绝”。‎ ‎2．答案与解析：A　根据下文中的“I received an email from the investor that read：‘We’re going to pass.’”可知，作者收到了投资者拒绝投资的邮件，这是作者始料不及的。unexpected“出乎意料的，始料不及的”，符合语境。unfamiliar“陌生的，不熟悉的”；unusual“不寻常的”；unforgettable“难以忘怀的”。‎ ‎3．答案与解析：D　根据上文中提到的作者的公司失去了一次重要的投资机会及下文中的“how helpless I truly was”可知，作者非常沮丧。discourage“使沮丧”，符合语境。annoy“使恼怒”；frighten“使害怕”；astonish“使吃惊”。‎ ‎4．答案与解析：B　在接下来的几天里，作者一直都在想这次的失败，并意识到自己有多无助。defeat“失败，挫败”，符合语境。chaos“混乱”；coincidence“巧合”；challenge“挑战”。‎ ‎5．答案与解析：C　根据下文中的“that I had a fear of rejection”可知，此处指作者也意识到自己害怕被拒绝。上文中的“realized”及“And I also”暗示此处所填词的含义与动词realize相近，故aware“意识到，明白”符合语境。‎ ‎6．答案与解析：A　根据语境可知，如果作者想让他的公司继续发展的话，他就不得不摆脱这种恐惧。shake“去除，摆脱”；defend“防御，保护”；appreciate“重视，欣赏”；understand“理解”。‎ ‎7．答案与解析：D　因此，作者借助互联网找寻解决办法，并发现了一款名为Rejection Therapy的游戏。answer“解决方法”，符合语境。explanation“解释”；access“(使用或见到的)机会，权利”；inspiration“启发灵感的人(或事物)”。‎ ‎8．答案与解析：C　该游戏的宗旨是让用户通过刻意寻求被拒绝来帮助用户克服被人拒绝的恐惧。aim“目的是”，符合语境。arrange“安排”；offer“主动提出”；prepare“准备”。‎ ‎9．答案与解析：B　作者很喜欢这款游戏，并决定试一试。decide“决定”，符合语境。manage“成功做成”；demand“要求”；hesitate“犹豫”。‎ ‎10．答案与解析：D　根据下文内容可知，随着作者被拒绝之旅的继续，在请求某些东西时作者变得越来越无畏。fearless“无畏的”，符合语境。ashamed“惭愧的”；guilty“感到内疚的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”。‎ ‎11．答案与解析：A　作者意识到自己能将注意力集中于那些可控的因素上。此处与上文提及的作者一直都在想着自己的失败作对比。focus on“集中(注意力、精力等)于”，符合语境。get down“写下，记下”；set aside“留出，暂不考虑”；take over“接管”。‎ ‎12．答案与解析：B　在作者100天的旅程结束时，对作者来说，收到“不”真的很难了。此处的言外之意是作者基本上不会被人拒绝了。actually“实际上，事实上”，符合语境。immediately“立即”；casually“随便地”；certainly“肯定”。‎ ‎13．答案与解析：D　根据下文中的“we reject ourselves and our ideas before the world... and reject us”可知，当我们对拒绝避而远之时，我们也就在世界有机会注意和拒绝我们之前拒绝了自己和自己的想法。shy away from“畏避，回避”，符合语境。put up with“忍受，容忍”；take out on“向……发泄”；give in to“屈服”。‎ ‎14．答案与解析：A　参见上题解析。choice“选择”；struggle“奋斗”；plan“计划”。‎ ‎15．答案与解析：B　作者从中得到的最大的教训是，无论如何，都不要被世界忽视。ignore“忽视，对……不予理会”，符合语境。上文中的“pay attention to”是暗示。limit“限制”；judge“评判”；trick“欺骗”。‎
