【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 游戲。故選D。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的”Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine(甲流疫苗) will kill us all and that we should avoid it.“以Liz為例。她贊同甲流疫苗會致死，大家都該避開打疫苗，可知，Liz對甲流疫苗持反對態(tài)度。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的”Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook.“現(xiàn)在我的朋友通過Facebook展現(xiàn)出他們性格中令人不愉快的方面）和倒數(shù)第二段的In real life, I don39。t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They39。re nice, smart people.

We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. We are used to passive learning, and it39。s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday munication with friends and coworkers. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor. Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn39。t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are pared. Typically, the original message has changed. That39。s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen to improve on it, stamping(打上標(biāo)記) it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know. This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another。 and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.（1）According to the passage, what situation may passive learning occur in?

She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That39。s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. Ceely39。s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device. She had never driver the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. I put my plete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train, she told the BBC. Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely39。s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it39。s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards. The problem with his argument in the book is that it39。s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A mapmaker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signal
