【題目】
According to the Paragraphs 1 and 2, many young Americans cast doubts on___.
[A] the justification of the news-filtering practice.
[B] people's preference for social media platforms.
[C] the administration's ability to handle information.
[D] social media was a reliable source of news.
【解析】根據(jù)題目定位到第1段和第2段，雙段推理優(yōu)先考慮雙段主旨。*一段中心句為最后一句話：Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered through other sources，not a president's social media platform。“千禧一代喜歡來自白宮的消息通過其他方式得以透露，而不是總統(tǒng)的社交媒體平臺(tái)”，說明他們不太信任社交媒體。第2段中心為第二句轉(zhuǎn)折之后，說明人們對(duì)于社交媒體的不信任上升。故雙段中心都和他們不信任社交媒體相關(guān)。結(jié)合以上信息，得出社交媒體信息不可靠，選擇D。選項(xiàng)[A]中的justification，文中并未提及，屬于無中生有；選項(xiàng)[B]中的preference在前兩段也未提及；選項(xiàng)[C]中的ability to handle information同樣屬于無中生有。

【題目】
The phrase "beef up"(line 2, Para.2) is closest in meaning to___.
[A] sharpen
[B] define
[C] boast
[D] share
【解析】根據(jù)題目定位到第2段第2句：Yet as distrust has risen toward all media，people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills。因?yàn)槎禾?hào)前提到“人們對(duì)于所有媒體的不信任增加”，根據(jù)句子的情感色彩可以推知人們應(yīng)該開始增強(qiáng)其媒體素養(yǎng)的技能，故選A。選項(xiàng)[B]和[D]沒有辦法表達(dá)增強(qiáng)、提升的意思，故排除；選項(xiàng)[C]表達(dá)的是負(fù)向情感，和文章的情感色彩相反，也排除。
