　　You may think that English speaking competitions are dominated by English majors,and that college students from other majors don’t stand a chance of winning.But this year’s China Daily”21st Century Coca-Cola Cup” National English Speaking Competition provided strong evidence to the contrary.

　　The competition drew to an end on March 20 at Beijing Foreign Studies University.None of the top three contestants were English majors.The grand champion,Zhu Xue,is a medical student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.And the runners-up named Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University and Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong are both law students.Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai won the fourth place and will be heading to London in May to compete in the International Public Speaking Competition on behalf of China.And guess what?Chen is not an English major either.She is a science student,majoring in interactive media art.

　　Their advantages may lie in the unique qualities and experiences that come with their majors.For example,Zhu managed to keep a cool head throughout the competition,a skill probably honed(磨煉)in her training as a medical student.She was even calm after she won the championship.

　　Qu Weiguo,a Fudan University professor and one of the competition’s judges,believes it’s no surprise that students like Zhu surged(蜂擁而來)ahead.”English majors may be superior at their language skills,but they may lack the knowledge from other fields to support their speech and enrich their arguments.”he said.

　　Throughout the past 20 years,contestants at the competition have transitioned(變遷)from focusing solely on language skills to placing more emphasis on the content of the speeches.

　　(CHINA DAILY Oct.20th,2016) It doesn’t seem that US singer Bob Dylan has much in common with literary mavens(內(nèi)行)like Ernest Hemingway and T.S.Elliot.But,last week,these three figures became forever bonded(粘合的)by the Nobel Prize for Literature.

　　This year’s prize makes Dylan the first American since Toni Morrison in 1993 to win the title.At the same time, the surprise announcement has also burned a firestorm of discussion around the globe.

　　Influential US writer Jodi Picoult joked that she might now deserve a Grammy(美國金唱片獎)And well-known British-Indian novelist Hari Kunzru lamented(悲嘆)on social media by saying:”This feels like the lamest Nobel winner since they gave it to Obama for not being Bush.”。

　　Dylan’s new status-a musician awarded the Nobel Prize for literature-to a degree challenge tradition.However, this is by no means his first prize for his writing talents.Back in 2008,the Pulitzer Prize jury(普利策獎評委會)awarded Dylan a special award” for his profound impact on popular music and American culture,marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power”.To this point,it could be argued that what the Nobel Committee is doing is simply strengthening Dylan’s unshakable standing in the world of literature.

　　The words behind Dylan’s songs address social issues and have been spread from generation to generation.Protest songs like Blowin in the Wind (1962) were the anthems(圣歌)of anti-war and civil rights movements in 1960s US.Densely poetic and image-rich songs such as Mr.Tambourine Mam (1965) pushed the folk-rock movement.And even today,many of Dylan’s songs are still relevant and streamed regularly by people all over the world.

　　29.Why has Bob Dylan’s winning the Nobel Prize caused a global discussion?

　　A.Because he ha nothing in common with Nobel Prize.

　　B.Because he is the first American Nobel Prize winner since 1993.

　　C.Because he is the first singer who won the Nobel Prize for literature.

　　D.Because he won a special award from the Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008.

　　30.What is Hari Kunzru’s attitude to Bob Dylan’s winning the Nobel Prize?

　　A.Positive B.Neutral C.Negative D.Favorable

　　31.What may be the best title for this article?

　　A.Bob Dylan’s Achievements in Music.

　　B.A Brief Introduction of Bob Dylan’s Life.

　　C.Bob Dylan,a Singer with Nobel Prize.

　　D.Bob Dylan,a Famous US Singer.

　　If you get your news from social media,you are faced with a daily number of hoaxes(惡搞),rumors,and misleading news.When it’s all mixed in with reliable information from honest sources,the truth can be very hard to judge.In face,my research team’s analysis of data from Columbia University’s Emergent rumor tracker suggests this false information is just as likely as to spread crazily as reliable information.

　　Our research shows that in view of the structure of our social networks and our limited attention,it is unavoidable that some popular unconfirmed information will spread quickly,regardless of their quality.Even if individuals tend to share information of higher quality,the networks as a whole is not effective at telling the difference between reliable and fake information.This helps explain all the hoaxes we observe in the wild.Besides, our attention is limited.If we pay attention to a certain topic,more information on the topic will be produced.It’ s cheaper to fake information and pass it off as fact than it is to report actual truth.

　　We can make our fight against false news more efficiently if we better understand how false information spreads.If,for example,robots are responsible for many pieces of the false news,we can focus attention on detecting them.

　　To that end,our lab is building a platform called Hoaxy to track and monitor the spread of unreliable information on social media.That will give us real-world data,with which we can inform our imitated social networks.Then we can test possible approaches to fight false news.Hoaxy may also be able to show people how easy it is their opinion to be misrepresent by online information and how likely some of us are to share false news online. Hoaxy will join a set of tools in our Observatory on Social Media,which allows anyone to see how false information spread on the Internet...

　　It is necessary that we spend resources on the study of this phenomenon.We need all hands on decks:Computer scientists,social scientists,economists,journalists and industry partners must

　　Work together to flight against the spread of false information.

　　32.What does the author say about the news from social media?

　　A.It’s missed and hard to tell its truth. B.It’s neither true nor worth believing.

　　C.It’s all false and misleads us. D.It’s reliable and worth believing.

　　33.Some popular unconfirmed information will spread quickly because of_______.

　　A.its structure of social networks and our limited attention

　　B.its higher quality and spreading speed

　　C.its lower cost of fabrication and passing it off

　　D.the networks’ not being able to tell the truth effectively

　　34.Which of the following is NOT the functions of the platform called Hoaxy?

　　A.tracking and monitoring the spread of unreliable news on social media.

　　B.testing possible approaches to flight false news.

　　C.showing people how easy it is their opinion controlled by online news.

　　D.helping people to see how true information spread on the internet.

　　35.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

　　A.To let all people buy a platform called Hoaxy.

　　B.To call on people to study and fight against false news together.

　　C.To warn people how seriously false news spread online.

　　D.To tell people how to prevent false news from spreading.

　　Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful.According to the well-known saying,talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.

　　36 .Talking to ourselves,whether out loud or silently in our heads,is a valuable tool for thought.Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with her toys. 37 :offering herself directions and giving voice to her frustrations.Psychologists refer to this as private speech”language that is spoken out loud but directed at the self.We do a lot of it when we are young. 38 .

　　As children,according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky,we use private speech to regulate our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others.As we grow older,we don’t abandon this system. 39 .Psychological experiments have shown that his so-called inner speech can improve our performance on tasks ranging from judging what other people are thinking to sorting images into categories.

　　We accept and approve of the private speech we use as children,but we never entirely put away the out-loud version. 40 You’re bound to see an athlete or two encouraging themselves with a phrase or scolding themselves after a bad shot.
