In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they travel differently because the way we share information has also changed. The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally. We don39。t enjoy being on the receiving end of one, since they usually don39。t have good intentions. They are somewhat veiled (掩飾的) messages. Normally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox (自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish explaining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a proven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort involved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Change: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the first rumor. Another property (屬性) of rumors is that they tend to bee viral. Each receiver is at the same time a potential transmitter (傳輸者) of the information. The receiver often adds their own opinion. Their manner and tone of transmitting it also changes it. How can we end rumors? The answer is as simple as it is impossible: preventing people from municating. A more realistic response is equally difficult, although less than the first one. It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they also trust the information. We should also think about if the rumor benefits someone, and if that someone started the rumor. One rumor to be especially cautious of is a rumor about groups relatively unable to defend themselves. That39。s why we say, History is always told by the winners. The first payment the defeated must make is to accept the victor39。s version of the story.（1）What can we learn about rumors? have all heard some and believed them.39。re happy to be the receiving end of them. may have negative influence on society. often hide good intentions in the messages.（2）How are rumours like a tree? keep changing, just as trees change their colour. are deeply rooted in reality, like tree roots in the earth. rumours have gaps, like the space between tree branches. rumours grow out of the original, like branches out of a trunk.（3）What does the underlined word 39。viral39。 in Para 4 probably mean? easily spread. acceptable. easily defended. beneficial.（4）Which of the following may the author agree with? is easy to prevent people from spreading rumors. are often active in judging the rumors critically. should think about the hidden message of the rumors. told by the victors are usually better worth trusting.【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）A（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了謠言的特點(diǎn)，分析了謠言存在的原因，并提出了如何終結(jié)謠言的解決方式。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally. ”無論是在社交方面還是個(gè)人層面，謠言都有可能使事情變得讓人不安。可知，謠言可能會(huì)對(duì)社會(huì)產(chǎn)生負(fù)面影響。故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the first rumor. ”謠言就像一棵樹，新的謠言產(chǎn)生分支來填補(bǔ)第一個(gè)謠言留下的空白。可知，新的謠言是從原來的謠言中產(chǎn)生的，就像樹干上的樹枝。故選D。 （3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第四段中的“Each receiver is at the same time a potential transmitter (傳輸者) of the information.”每個(gè)接收者同時(shí)又是信息的潛在傳輸者。可推知，劃線詞所在句“Another property (屬性) of rumors is that they tend to bee viral. ”意為，謠言的另一個(gè)特點(diǎn)是它們往往會(huì)容易傳播。同時(shí)結(jié)合選項(xiàng)翻譯可知，故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的“It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they
