昨天真题链接的讲解：（05年真题第二篇）
Fortunately, the White House is starting to pay attention. But it’s obvious that a majority of the president’s advisers still don’t take global warming seriously. Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research -- a classic case of “paralysis by analysis.”
What does the author mean by “paralysis by analysis” (Last line, Paragraph 4)?
[A] Endless studies kill action.
[B] Careful investigation reveals truth.
[C] Prudent planning hinders progress.
[D] Extensive research helps decision-making.
由于第三句的破折号（破折号相当于等号）所以等于问：
Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research
是什么意思！
第一句：
Fortunately，因此这句属于正面的表达；
第二句：
But it’s obvious that a majority of the president’s advisers still don’t take global warming seriously.
But，所以这句属于负面的表达；
第三句：
Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research -- a classic case of “paralysis by analysis.”
第二句的第三句之间没有明确的句间关系词；
Instead of= not 不表示句间转折，表示句中否定；
Instead= however 才表示句间转折；
第二句是形式主语句，真的主语就应该是主语从句的主语；
第三句主语they指代第二句的主语：a majority of the president’s advisers
这两句主语相同，判断为并列；
第三句：Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research
为负面表达；
所以先排除正面表达的选项：
[B] Careful investigation reveals truth.
[D] Extensive research helps decision-making.
剩下：
[A] Endless studies kill action.
[C] Prudent planning hinders progress.
（谨慎的计划阻碍了进步。）
再根据状语：Instead of a plan of action, （没有行动计划），排除C
答案为A
完美！
今天的句子：
这是来自大西洋月刊五月版的一篇文章，文章谈到人们相信自己的感官再自然不过，相信眼前所见——这种固定的倾向将被即将到来的假视频时代所利用。想想密歇根大学的研究人员谈到了“信息末日”——试想如果是篡改过的视频，情况将严重多少。谎言将瞬时披上崭新的、爆炸性的情感强度。但问题可能不止于此。
But the problem isn’t just the proliferation of falsehoods. Fabricated videos will create new and understandable suspicions about everything we watch. Politicians and publicists will exploit those doubts. When captured in a moment of wrongdoing, a culprit will simply declare the visual evidence a malicious mixture.
思考题：
According to the text, the main concern of the false videos is______
(A) the sudden increase in the number of lies.
(B) the restoration of public trust on Politicians.
(C) the malicious use of visual evidence by Politicians.
(D) the exploitation of public suspicion by publicists.
词汇突破：
1.proliferation of falsehoods 虚假信息的增加和扩散；
2. Fabricated videos 虚假视频
3. publicists 公关人员
4. exploit 利用
5. culprit （这个词我们见过的）犯错的人，引起问题的事物
6. a malicious mixture 恶意合成的
第一句：
But the problem isn’t just the proliferation of falsehoods.
参考译文：但问题不仅仅在于虚假信息的传播。
第二句：
Fabricated videos will create new and understandable suspicions about everything we watch.
参考译文：假视频将让我们对看到的所有事物都生发新的、情有可原的怀疑。
第三句：
Politicians and publicists will exploit those doubts.
参考译文：政客和公关人员会利用这种疑心。
第四句：
When captured in a moment of wrongdoing, a culprit will simply declare the visual evidence a malicious mixture.
参考译文:当被捕捉到不法行为或作恶时，元凶只需简单地宣称，视觉证据是恶意合成的。
思考题：
According to the text, the main concern of the false videos is______
(A) the sudden increase in the number of lies.
(B) the restoration of public trust on Politicians.
(C) the malicious use of visual evidence by Politicians.
(D) the exploitation of public suspicion by publicists.
题干有main 这个词，第一句的担心不是主要担心，
A选项对于第一句，属于定位错误。
(B) the restoration of public trust on Politicians.
公众对于政客信任的恢复。
这个选项是将文中几个元素拼凑在一起的。产生的含义在文中是没有提及的。
(C) the malicious use of visual evidence by Politicians.
政客对于视频证据的恶意使用；
这个选项也是将文中几个元素拼凑在一起的。产生的含义在文中是没有提及的。
所以一定要注意选项的切分！
(D) the exploitation of public suspicion by publicists.
这对应第三句； 为正确选项；
有人说，不是还有一个politician 吗？
同义替换哪能全部都写。
原文：JPP被一男和KK打了。
JPP被打了。（对）
JPP被KK打了。（对）
JPP被一男打了。（对）
明天的句子：
But we also must reject educational systems that, behind a supposed commitment to equity, quietly perpetuate the status quo. Instead of focusing on who from the margins is able to get in, we would do better to direct our attention to the fundamental ways selective admissions and educational institutions maintain the privileges of whiteness.
思考题：
According to the text, what we should do when facing the educational issue?
(A) we should cement the status quo to reject educational systems.
(B) we should get those marginalized to the educational institutions.
(C) we should focus on the fundamental change of educational systems.
