主题群:生活与学习 子主题:自我提升 语篇类型:说明文 难度:★★★
[2026 常州期末]These days, teenagers are heavily influenced by the media. Many of them have watched thousands of hours of short videos.
However, several studies have shown a serious problem: today's teenagers are short of media literacy. In other words, they have difficulty critically(批判地) thinking about the information they see. One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 percent of them couldn't tell the difference between real stories and ads that looked like news.
Professor(教授) Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy is important. In the example, two short videos report a snowstorm. One mainly tells the terrible road conditions. The other reports kids playing in the snow. "In a news story, short videos tell you the most important details in the eyes of the short video makers. These details mostly depend on their own opinions," said John. "A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is just about one side of the event. But in fact, there is more going on."
Some experts(专家) think school is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone—from parents to news directors—should help teenagers learn the skills.
As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts suggest the age of twelve. But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. "It's never too early to start learning media literacy," John said.
1. What does the underlined phrase "media literacy" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. The ability to stop themselves watching short videos.
B. The ability to think about the information they see.
C. The ability to read news and ads online.
D. The ability to use the Internet.
2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How to develop teenagers' media literacy.
B. When teenagers start to use the media every day.
C. Why teenagers are supposed to have media literacy.
D. Where teenagers should be taught media literacy.
3. What is the main idea of the whole passage?
A. Teenagers spend too much time on short videos every day.
B. It's necessary and important for teenagers to learn media literacy.
C. Schools should take full responsibility for teaching media literacy.
D. Different short videos show different sides of the same event.

答案：1. B 词义猜测题。根据“In other words, they have difficulty critically thinking about the information they see.”可知，media literacy指的是批判性思考所看到的信息的能力。

3. B 主旨大意题。文章先指出青少年缺乏媒介素养的问题，再举例说明其重要性，最后讲解学习途径与合适起始年龄。全文围绕青少年学习媒介素养的必要性与重要性展开。
2. C 段落大意题。根据“The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy is important.”可知，第三段主要通过举例说明青少年为什么需要具备媒介素养。
3. B 主旨大意题。文章先指出青少年缺乏媒介素养的问题，再举例说明其重要性，最后讲解学习途径与合适起始年龄。全文围绕青少年学习媒介素养的必要性与重要性展开。
