There’re five factors which contribute to the spread of fake news: political gain; misreporting; going viral(病毒式传播); financial gain; and “not letting the truth get in the way of a good story".
1. When the Titanic disaster happened, Telegrams stating that all the passengers from the Titanic had been rescued were reported as fact in newspapers, before the full extent of the tragedy came to light.
2. In the early 20th century it took years rather than seconds but the principle was the same. People shared the photographs around, not checking the accuracy of them, either wanting to believe they were real, or just because they were a novelty,
It's long been believed that the motto of Fleet Street was “never let the facts get in the way of a good story", illustrated by a news story earlier in 2017 that Jeremy Corbyn had refused to bow his head to the Queen at the state opening of Parliament. Only later did it become known that protocol(礼节) doesn’t require bowing to the Queen in these situations. 3.
The final two factors for a story to be fake news often go hand in hand: as a political tool, and a must to make profit. 4. Easier than you'd think. The websites with fake news can easily get astonishing hits, which then attracts advertisements and thus earn the website owners a nice profit .
The good news is that a number of new media organizations are trying to encourage us to think about where news comes from, who puts it out, and whether anyone can gain politically, financially or ideologically by it, before we share it around social media. 5.
A. How does that make money?
B. How do people gain politically?
C. But that didn’t matter, the story was out.
D. Here is a good example of misreporting.
E. That was how a good story came into being.
F. Going viral is another typical characteristic of fake news.
G. Thus we can give it certain respectability and trustworthiness.

There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
1.A person’s intelligence ________.
A. stays unchanged in a certain environment
B. develops with the change of environment
C. is born at the same level as anyone else’s
D. is affected by the environment as well as the sort of brain he is born with
2.What is meant by “he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.”?
A. He will never fail to develop his intelligence.
B. He won’t become so intelligent as he should.
C. He is able to reach a high level of intelligence.
D. It is impossible for him to develop intelligence.
3.Which of the following statements is true concerning the twins?
A. The sorts of brain they are born with differ greatly.
B. They set up an example for studying the environment.
C. They became orphans once they were born.
D. They were adopted boys.
4.According to the text, the environment in which the twins were reared differs in the following aspects except ________.
A. intelligence level of the parents
B. family economic status
C. the age of their parents
D. community surroundings

There are many thoughts on the origins of civilization. One of the major factors involved was the increase in population. The development of techniques, primarily irrigation and flood control, which permitted agriculture in special areas such as the flood plain of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, made possible the support of large population. Once populations reach a certain number, the older pattern of social organization breaks down and new ones develop. Specifically the older system, whereby each individual participated in food production and maintained a similar standard of living and whereby kinship(家属关系) served as the basic method of social organization, was replaced by the occupational division of labor, political and religious hierarchies(等级制度), public works such as road and public building construction, class systems, codes of law, markets, new forms of warfare, and urban centres. Allied with these important sociological traits are material traits, such as monumental architecture and the development of science and, in many cases, metallurgy(冶金学) and writing systems.
The earliest civilization, Sumer, developed in the Middle East. This was the Bronze Age of the Old World, during which people first developed the art of metallurgy, civilization also arose in other parts of the Old World, first in Egypt, China, and India, and later in Europe and Africa. At this time, civilization also developed independently in the New World, in the Mexican area and in Peru and its adjacent(邻近的) areas.
In the Old World the Bronze Age was followed by the Iron Age, which saw the rise and fall of great empires and the shift of power from the Middle East to Greece and Rome and then to Western Europe. In the 1700s the Industrial Age began, leading directly to the modern civilization of today.

A. gives a comparison between ancient civilization and modern civilization

47. According to the first paragraph, the increase in population __________________.
A. resulted in the development of agricultural technology
B. resulted from the breakdown of old social organization
C. caused the occupational division of labor
D. was impossible without the development of agriculture

A. main appearances B. great achievements
C. distinguishing features D. outstanding successes

A. The Bronze Age is one of the earliest civilizations.
B. The Industrial Age started in the Middle East.
