    Text 2 Should we be thinking of Facebook as a news site?Is that how Facebook thinks of itself?No,not primarily,Facebook now says.In a document posted on Wednesday,the company explained,for the first time,the"values"that govem its news feed,the scrolling list of posts that Facebook presents to its l.65 billion users every time they log on.Though it is couched in the anodyne language of a corporate news release,the document's message should come as a shock to everyone in the media business.According to these values,Facebook has a single overriding purpose,and it isn't news.Facebook is mainly for telling you what's up with your friends and family.Adam Mosseri,the Facebook manager in charge of the news feed,said in a recent interview that informing and entertaining users was also part of the company's mission.But he made clear that news and entertainment were secondary pursuits."We think more,spend more time and work on more projects that try to help people express themselves with their friends or learn about their friends or have conversations with their friends,"he said.As if to underscore the point,the company is making a tweak to its news feed ranking system to increase the prominence ofcoiitent from your friends and family over posts by news companies and other organizations.It is also waming news companies that their traffic might decline as a result of the change.These moves highlight a truth that tends to get lost in commentary about the social network's influence over the news:At Facebook,infonrung users about the world will always take a back seat to cute pictures of babies..Because Facebook does not think ofitself primarily as a news company,it seems to want us to stop expecting it to act like one.Whether we should,though,is a more complicated matter.The company has long been hounded by journalists and activists over its power to shape the news through its algorithms,or the code that determines which stories you see,in the news feed.The question of how to think about Facebook's role in the news-and whether we should demand the same standards of accuracy,objectivity,transparency and fairness that we expect from traditional outlets-may be the primary puzzle ofour new media age.According to Facebook,the values outlined in the document have been the informal governing philosophy of its news feed since it was started a decade ago,and Mr.Zuckerberg and Chris Cox,Facebook's chiefproduct officer,were deeply involved in drafiing the new document.30.The best title for this text could be.

    A.Facebook-a News Giant That Would Rather Show Us Baby Pictures
    B.Facebook Is Reluctant to Be a News Website
    C.Facebook,a New Bom Baby in the Age oflntemet
    D.Facebook's Mr.Zuckerberg and Chris Cox

    答案：A
    解析：
    主旨大意题。本题问的是文章的最佳标题。首段指出脸书网的“价值观念”——分享朋友和家人的动态，第五段提到脸书网永远会把可爱婴儿的照片放在世界新闻的前面，所以可推测本文最佳的标题是A项“新闻巨头脸书网宁愿给我们看婴儿照片”。【干扰排除】B项“脸书不愿意成为一个新闻网站”，第二段新闻版块的经理亚当-莫瑟里说“向用户推送新闻和娱乐消息也是公司的业务之一，但是这一块的业务是次要的”，不能全面概括文章的主旨；C项“脸书——互联网时代的新生儿”，脸书本身不是新生的，C项错误；D项“脸书的扎克伯格先生和克里斯·考克斯先生”，文章只在最后一段提到这两个人的观点，全文并不是围绕这两人展开，所以D项错误。

    A.babies are more important for the specific users.
    B.babies are the whole world for some users.
    C.we should support and care about our babies.
    D.most people prefer pictures of adorable babies.

    答案：A
    解析：
    推理判断题。本题询问的是“把可爱的婴儿的照片放在世界新闻前”的含义。take a back seat意思是“处于次要位置”，根据第四、五段可知，脸书注重的是用户与亲人朋友的互动，并非世界新闻，故A项“婴儿对特定用户来说更重要”为正确答案。【干扰排除】B项“婴儿是一些用户的全部”，第五段提到世界新闻只是处于照片的后面，并没有说完全没有新闻，所以B项错误；C项“我们应该支持和关心我们的孩子”，文中没有提到对孩子的关心和支持，故C项错误；D项“大多数人更喜欢可爱的婴儿的照片”，文章中没有提到多数人喜欢婴儿照片，故D项错误。

    B

    C

    that

    D

    where


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    句意：三天后，有消息传来说我们国家又发射了一颗人造卫星。our country had sent up another man-made satellite是一个完整的句子，所以引导此从句的是不作任何句子成分的that。此处that引导同位语从句，说明word的内容。word单数形式前面不加冠词，表示“消息”，故为C。

    A.serious news is the most valuable to be posted to their users.
    B.the standards ofnews they post are accurate and objective.
    C.they have the conventional governing policy ofits news.
    D.the intefaction with friends is the most important news.

    答案：D
    解析：
    推理判断题。本题询问的是扎克伯格先生和克里斯·考克斯先生的观点，文中最后一段提到两人参与了的文件的发表，证明文件中表达的内容是他们认同的观点，即脸书更注重与朋友及家人的互动，故选D项。【干扰排除】A项“严肃的新闻对他们的用户是最有价值的”和B项“他们所发表的新闻的标准是准确和客观的”，文中第八段提到，我们是否应该要求脸书像传统新闻媒体那样准确、客观、透明和公正，因为它的核心价值不在于此，所以A项和B项不属于扎克伯格先生和克里斯·考克斯先生的观点；C项“他们有传统的新闻管理政策”，文中最后一段提到在10年前，脸书就有“非正式的新闻管理理念”，所以C项错误。
