These stories circulate quickly, and the result is fake news.
Experts in media studies and online psychology have been examining the fake news phenomenon. Read these tips, and don't get fooled!
Check the source
2. Does it look real? Is the text well written? Are there a variety of other stories or is it just one story?

Many fake news stories use images that are photoshopped or taken from an unrelated site. Sometimes, if you just look closely at an image, you can see if it has been changed. Or use a tool like Google Reverse Image search. It will show you if the same image has been used in other contexts.
Look for other signs
There are other techniques that fake news uses. These include using ALL CAPS and lots of ads that pop up when you click on a link. 4. If the news story makes you angry, it's probably designed to make you angry.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网络上的虚假新闻现象,并给出了一些识别和避免虚假新闻的建议。
1. C 解析:上文“Every time you're online, you are bombarded by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to tell their stories.”提到网络上不断有大量的图片、文章、链接和视频试图给读者讲述自己的故事。C 选项“Unfortunately, not all of these stories are true(不幸的是,并非所有这些故事都是真实的)”与上文构成转折关系,指出并非所有的故事都是真实的,并引出了下文关于虚假新闻的讨论,同时,句中 these stories 与上文 their stories 构成指代关系。故选 C。
2. E 解析:本段小标题为“Check the source”,E 选项“Look at the website where the story comes from(看看这个故事来自哪个网站)”建议查看故事来源的网站,以判断其真实性,与标题相呼应。故选 E。
3. A 解析:设空句是段落小标题。根据本段内容“许多假新闻报道使用 PS 过的或从不相关的网站上获取的图片。有时,如果你仔细观察一张图像,你就能看到它是否被改变了。或者使用谷歌反向图像搜索工具。它将显示在其他上下文中是否使用了相同的图像。”可知,本段主要讨论的是如何通过图片来识别虚假新闻。A 选项“Watch out for fake photos(警惕虚假照片)”概括本段主题。故选 A。
4. D 解析:下文“If the news story makes you angry, it's probably designed to make you angry.”指出虚假新闻可能让人生气,是对 D 选项“Also, think about how the story makes you feel(同时,想想这个故事带给你的感觉)”的举例说明。同时 D 选项与上文“These include using ALL CAPS and lots of ads that pop up when you click on a link(这些包括使用所有的大写字母和当你点击一个链接时弹出的大量广告)”构成并列关系,对小标题中 other signs 进行举例说明。故选 D。
5. F 解析:上文“If you know these things about online news, and can apply them in your everyday life, then you have the control over what to read, what to believe and most importantly what to share.”指出了解了上述关于网络新闻的知识,就能控制自己阅读、相信和分享的内容。F 选项“If you find a news story that you know is fake, don't share it(如果你发现一个你知道是假的新闻故事,不要分享它)”承接上文,强调如果知道某个新闻故事是虚假的,就不要分享它,这是对上文建议的具体实践,且句中 don't share it 与上文 most importantly what to share 相照应。故选 F。
