阅读下列材料,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

    Do you like bananas? They taste good andyou can have them without washing. However, British scientists say that thefruit may die out by 2050.

    One reason forthis is climatechange. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data(数据)from 27 countries that produce 86% ofthe world's bananas. They found that climate change made people harvest morebananas.

    However, if temperatures keep going higher,this advantage will disappear. Some countries, like India, the world's biggestproducer of bananas, will produce(生产)fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit maydie out.

    Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it'shotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between24℃and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.

    Diseases are another danger to bananas.Unlike other crops, all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is ableto kill one plant, it could kill them all.

    One serious disease is called Panama. Itspreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, Middle East, andAustralia. If one banana plantation(种植园)develop the disease, it will take 30years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists haven't found a goodway to deal with this disease till now.

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.

 请从方框内选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空,使文章完整连贯。注意每空一词,每词仅用一次,有两词为多余项。

The Yingge Dance, or "dance to the hero's song" is a traditional art form in Chaoshan area. The dance can date back to the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644). At that time, dancers {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it during traditional Chinese festivals. Today, Chaoshan people perform the Yingge Dance to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the Spring Festival.
