四川省乐山市2019年中考英语试卷(含听力音频)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的几个选项中,选出最佳选项。

    What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(压力大的).

    "For people who are worried about math, posture (姿势) makes a big difference," Erik Paper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right – sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.

    Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math exam while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) posture, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.

    Slumping over is a defensive(戒备的) posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Paper said.

    Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit(受益) from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.

    Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better.

Picture this: You're searching the Internet and see a website with interesting articles. Some are news stories.Their goal is to share information. Others only look like news stories. They're actually advertisements, or ads.The goal of an ad is to get you to buy something. How do the reader tell the difference between a news story and an ad?

Back when I was growing up, it was easier. We got most of our information from newspapers. Big news stories appeared on the front page, and ads were boxed off(分隔) and clearly marked. But on the Internet, the two are often shown together. It can be hard to tell which is which.

That's why the research group I direct did a study. My research team showed kids the home page of a popular magazine. We asked them to tell us what was a news story and what was an ad.

Most were great at telling certain kinds of ads. "It has a coupon(优惠券) code, a big company logo, and the words 'limited time offer'," one student wrote about an ad on the site. So where did kids get stumped(难倒)?

Some ads seem similar to real news stories. They have headlines and have information. But they may also include the words "sponsored content". Sponsored means "paid for," and content refers to the information in the story. "Sponsored content" is a way of saying that something is an ad. Most kids in our study, even if they used the Internet often, didn't know this.

Something sponsored doesn't necessarily mean it's not true. It means someone paid money for it to appear. Companies pay so that readers will see their stories, buy their products, and like what the company stands for.

As a reader, you have a right to know who's behind the information you're consuming(消费). So, look for the phrase sponsored content. (And look carefully. Sometimes, it will be written in very small letters.) The Internet is a big sea of information. To use it well, we not only have to know how to swim but also how to avoid the sharks.
