These websites promise to answer your questions. But actually, they may not be all that trustworthy. What do you do?
26、 (32) (figure) out which site is believable takes work. Fact-check is not impossible, though. In fact, its what good journalists do every day. You can learn from the methods reporters use to determine the truth of what they get. (33) (check) a new claim, a reporter contacts experts on the topic. In
27、journalism, such experts are known as “sources.” A source may be a scientist who has discovered (34) new in a lab. Or it could be a witness to a crime. The more strange or controversial(有争议的) a claim is, the more sources a reporter may need to contact. Just because I read something doesnt mean I bel
28、ieve it. You should ask questions and double-check every factoid(令人信以为真的报导) as the reporters do. 4 Reporters who dont have much time or motivation may just quote the first scientist they encounter who (35)is involved (involve) in a study they are reporting on. They may believe all this scientist say
29、s. If the reporter doesnt get an outside comment, the reader will not know to what extent they should be able to trust the original source. Keep that in mind (36) you read news reports.

31、o pays them. Whats more, was the person who had written the story or who had interviewed a given source named? Was this writer a journalist or just someone who had heard about some new claims? Did they describe what made the sources (39) (qualify) to be experts in support of their story? You should
32、be sceptical(怀疑的) of everything (40) you read, even here. Thats acting like a journalist.

But do you know the founder of the chocolate empire, Milton Hershey, had tasted lots
34、 of failure before he ever enjoyed the flavor of success? Milton S. Hersheys story began in southeastern Pennsylvania and you cant do it _41_ without noting the impact business failure had on it. At first, Milton had a front-row seat to his father Henrys _42_ endless entrepreneurial misfires (创业失败).
35、 Henry Hersheys _43_ never paid off for himself, but it did for his son. In 1872 at age 14, Milton took a job in Pennsylvania. But shortly afterward, he moved from the ice cream section into the candy side of the business, and then became a _44_ candy maker. In Philadelphia Milton started his first
36、company, Spring Garden Confectionary Works. He came up with a soft, chewy caramel ( 焦糖 ) that proved to be a big hit. But Milton increasingly found it hard to deal with _45_competition. In the year he turned 24, his company went belly-up (破产), and his businesses in Denver and New York all ended up i
37、n bankruptcy (破产). If failure is the best teacher, young Milton Hershey could argue that he had earned a doctorate (博士学位). Some people in the same situation might have given up, changed their _46_, or simply found a job working for somebody else. Not Milton Hershey. He was determined to be the succe
38、ss his father wasnt, and in the one business he loved more than any other. He went back to Lancaster and prepared to give it one more try by_47_a new enterprise the Lancaster Caramel Company. This time, Milton got it right. He became a respected businessman. Though Milton bought the entire exhibit a
39、t the Columbian Exposition (哥伦比亚博览会) held in Chicago in 1893 that _48_ cocoa beans into candy bars and made his money, he decided that the future was in chocolate. The little town of Derry Church, where he opened his first chocolate factory in 1894, was _49_ and has been known as Hershey ever since.
40、 Milton died at the age of 86, beloved by chocolate lovers around the world. He was to chocolate what Henry Ford was to automobiles and Steve Jobs was to computers. He revolutionized(彻底改变) a _50_ for the few into a treat for the masses. 5 III. Reading comprehension Section A (15 分分 每题每题 1 分分) Direct

His physician, Dr. Phillip West, finally agreed. After Mr. Wright had been given an injection on a Frida
43、y afternoon, the 52 doctor found his patient out of his “death bed”, joking with the nurses the following Monday. “The tumors”, the doctor wrote later, had 53 like snow balls on a hot stove.” Two months later, Wright read medical reports that the medication was fake. His condition immediately got wo

Then he injected him with what he said was a new super-refined double strength version of the drug. 55 , there was no drug, just a mix of salt and water, but again it worked. Wright was the picture of health for another two months
45、 until he read an official report saying that Krebiozen was 56 . He died two days later. This story has been 57 by doctors for a long time, dismissed(不予理会) as one of those strange tales that medicine cannot explain.

Placebos are lies that 62 ,” said Dr. Anne Harrington, a histori
48、an of science at Harvard University. “The word placebo is Latin for “I shall please” (or I shall make you happy) and it is typically a treatment that a doctor gives to 63 patients to please them, she said. “It looks like medication, but has no healing ingredients whatsoever.” Nowadays, doctors have
