今天我们来一个热点事件。美国政府先对抖音下手,之后便是微信等。老夏考研“每日一题”致力帮助考生提高成绩。所以,我们的选材标准腐符合命题人选材标准:介绍英语文化特色,但遵守我们的法律、道德、文化价值观。
另外,关于抖音以及其创始者的介绍,我们可以作为素材使用在2021的作文中,作为素材。这个方面的内容,我们会安排到11月份的内容中。
老夏考研“每日一题”选自《大西洋月刊》,原文文章标题为“Why America Is Afraid of TikTok”(为什么美国害怕TikTok)。
测试题嘛,还是一个词义推测题。给一个小小的提示,从词义的褒贬考虑考虑?
【题目】The word “derided” is closest in meaning to ______
[A] boosted.
[B]defaulted.
[C] valued.
[D] scorned.
【试题】
①Most Americans, inside and outside the Beltway, no longer perceive China as a potential partner, but as a strategic enemy. ②Trump rails against Beijing on Twitter and at news conferences. ③The old policy of patient engagement is derided* as a naive liberal fantasy that did nothing more than hand wealth and power to an adversary. ④Seen through this angle, Zhang and TikTok embody not what’s gone right with China, but what’s gone wrong. ⑤TikTok — an app largely devoted to viral dance crazes and teenagers pranking* their cats — is part of the China threat: the sharp high-tech edge of the Communist regime, penetrating deep into American society, stealing its secrets, monitoring its citizens, and aiding Beijing’s aims.
