22、cause Zhang is poor. However, Zhang and Cui have already fallen in love. With the help of Cuis maid Hong Niang, the two continue their romance and break many barriers.The play incorporates much of the beauty of the poetry from the Tang and Song eras in Chinese history. Part of its appeal to readers

23、is found in the style, grace and flow of the language. In fact, the play represents a high mark of achievement in romantic Chinese literature, and is quite popular. It has given rise to many sequels and rewritings, and also influenced countless plays, short stories and novels. The Peony Pavilion and

24、 Dream of the Red Chamber probably wouldnt exist if it werent for Wangs classic play.The play also inspired generations of artists across various mediums such as woodblock prints, paintings and porcelain.

Later, KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a

32、 product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.Brooke Binkowski, an editor, says that, during her career, she has seen a shift towards less editorial oversight in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all news

33、rooms are like this, but a lot of them are.”Asked what the driving factor was, a journalist said, “Youve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that

34、is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someones door. You just sit at your desk and do it.”Another journalist says, “There is undoubtedly pressure to churn out（粗制滥造）stories in order to get clicks, because they equal money. At my former employer in particular, the

35、 pressure was on due to the limited resources.

Within minutes or hours, a badly sourced report ca

36、n be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached, repetition has a powerful effect on belief. Thus, the rumor simply becomes true for readers.” And, in spite of the direction that some newsrooms s

37、eem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more, not less important, according to the New York Times public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. Its extremely important to question and to use every verification（验证） method available before

38、publication.” Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because, in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click, regardless of the advantage of a story”. And, “if the story does turn out to be false, its simply a chance for another bite at the cherry.”Verifica

39、tion and fact-checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers, and if the only result of being caught out is another chance to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change. 28. According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _.A. clicks matter

42、aze to get clicks.DWho cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peoples opinions. However, t

44、on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector（制造业）with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about

45、 the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps gi

46、ving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved peoples lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those

47、 things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in

48、 the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against whi

Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing econ

50、omic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.32. Misjudgmen

The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should _.A. take peoples essential needs into accountB. make

52、their programmes attractive to peopleC. ensure that each child gets financial supportD. provide more affordable internet facilities34. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.B. Believing that the world has become borderless.C

53、. Ignoring the power of global economic development.D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.35. What can we learn from the passage?A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.C. Making right career choices is crucial
