11、e attention to homeless people.BWith the increasing development of technology, we now have the ability to get much information from foreign media sources. Because we can learn much about events happening in other countries from the media, such as magazines and newspapers, many people may think that
12、reading magazines and newspapers is the best way to learn about a foreign country. However, I believe that only reading magazines and newspapers as a way of learning about a foreign country has several limitations （限制）.We cannot deny that magazines and newspapers actually present some valuable infor
13、mation about foreign countries. However, the information that they present is often one-sided, so that readers can only learn about one opinion on an event happening in a foreign country. Also, the words and pictures in magazines and newspapers may not be true. Thus the information that readers rece
14、ive may not be the truth.I think that the best way to learn about a foreign country is to travel or live there for a while. By traveling or living in a country, you can see things that do not appear in magazines and newspapers, and learn about the local political situation, state of the economy, and
15、 the culture. You can get more information about a country by talking directly with local people about the overall situation, and can truly understand the local culture by living with them for a while. But if you are at home reading a newspaper or magazine, you simply get information provided by oth
16、ers passively instead of collecting information directly.So, I believe that the best way to learn about a foreign country is not by reading magazines and newspapers but by placing yourself in that foreign country.5.

17、people can get information they need.C. Why ifs important to learn about a foreign country.D. What the best way to learn about a foreign country is.6.

What is the advantage of traveling to a foreign country according to Paragraph 3? A. Having a quicker mind by learning more.8. Having a chance to read local newspaper

Most people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. An increasing number of people also report turning to social me
26、dia for information.Now, there is a new technology that could greatly change the way we get the news： Computer-created news readers. China has launched what it called the worlds first artificial （人工的）intelligence, or Al news presenters.The news readers, supported by machine learning technology, are
27、based on two real-life Chinese newsmen. One is able to present news broadcast in English; the other, in Mandarin Chinese. A report said machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen. Similar technology has been used to create video products known as “deep fake video
28、s”. A deep fake video is a video that looks real, but is electronically changed. Such videos can make people appear to say things they never said.Its said that the Al presenters will be a great improvement to the news team because they “can work 24 hours a day“ on its website and on social media. On
29、e of the presenters even promised to “work tirelessly to keep people informed.

30、 workers. Some people argued that only low level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots.

34、words, such as aim51. The move led to an argument over whether it is necessary to control the way students speak.The creation of slang is one way languages change. Slang, or informal language, usually changes more rapidly than standard language. For example, the word groovy, meaning “great，used to b
35、e very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. But by 1980s, people had stopped using it.One important reason we use slang is to show others that we belong to a group. Another is to communicate an idea in a more colorful or humorous way. For example, the phrase jump ship creates a stronger image （形象）than th
36、e more standard leave an organization. While in the Internet age, slang expressions are created faster than ever. Often, Internet slang words are created to make messages faster and easier to type.Some people are strongly against the use of slang. Teachers at Harris Academy were worried that slang w
37、ould prevent their students from learning how to read, write, and express themselves correctly. They thought this might cause problems for them when they finally went on to apply to universities or companies.However, some people think differently. Linguist Tony Thorne sees slang as a way for speaker
38、s of a language to show their creativity and humor. And, unlike what some believe, slang is not a new phenomenon. As Thorne explains, “Slang has not become more popular, simply more public.” In todays highly connected world, slang has become more noticeable because of better tools to observe languag
