Why subtitles matter
为什么字幕很重要？
一些研究表明，超过半数的美国电视观众在观看节目时会一直使用字幕。为什么越来越多的人选择开字幕看电视？开字幕看电视有什么好处？本文围绕影视节目中字幕存在的重要性展开讨论。
词汇：media production 媒体制作
Over half of American TV viewers now use subtitles whenever they watch TV, according to survey company YouGov. This trend is even more noticeable in viewers under 30. Subtitles have long been used to help people with hearing impairments or to allow people to watch films in a different language, but why has their use become so widespread
The reasons for this are both technical and social. Advances in digital sound production and microphones mean that actors can be more natural in their vocal performance, while at the same time audio directors are able to make more and more dramatic bined with the much smaller speakers contained in modern TV sets, this can all make dialogue seem unintelligible.
Smartphones may play a role. We are used to subtitled social media videos that can be watched without headphones. Smartphones also allow us to watch film and TV in public places where they are not easily audible. Another social reason could be the increased appetite for programmes in other languages accessible through international streaming services.
While some viewers may consider subtitles to be distracting, or worry about the potential for spoilers, they don't just help with unclear audio. A number of studies have suggested that subtitles could help people to increase their vocabulary and boost their listening skills in languages that they do not currently speak.
This may be particularly effective when subtitles are in the same language as the audio track of the programme. Same-language subtitles have also been shown to help young children develop their reading skills in their first language, to the point where campaigners have suggested enabling subtitles on all children's programmes by default.

How fast can someone climb 15 meters—the height of a five-floor building The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds.
The 23-year-old man is one of the three people who finished the speed climbing route (竞速攀岩路线) within 5 seconds. The other two are Veddrig Leonardo (4.90 seconds) and Kiromal Katibin (5.00 seconds), who both come from Indonesia. People call Cao “the fastest man in China” or “Chinese Spiderman”.
According to Cao, the result of speed climbing can change every second because it’s a highly stressful race. Two climbers compete at the same time in the race. It’s also a sport that finishes in seconds. If you want to succeed, everything has to be perfect.
But this pressure is part of the reason why Cao loves the sport. “The pressure of competing side by side with another climber really excites me,” he said. “And I do enjoy the excitement when the result is better than my personal record.”
Cao tried climbing at the age of 8. Like many kids who first get into climbing, Cao was mainly doing bouldering (抱石攀岩) and lead climbing. However, he got hurt unluckily. Then, he decided to try speed climbing because the skills of it are different and it puts less pressure on his body. It turned out that Cao was good at speed climbing as well. He understands how to use his body to win.
In his eyes, the national record of 4.98 seconds has become a past thing. “I’ll keep trying to do better and improve myself,” said Cao.
6．How fast can Cao Long climb 15 meters
A．4.90 seconds. B．4.98 seconds. C．5.00 seconds.
7．What can we know from Paragraph 2
A．Cao won the other two sportsmen.
B．Speed climbing is popular in Indonesia.
C．Cao is the fastest speed climber in China.
8．Which of the following about speed climbing is TRUE
A．Climbers have less pressure.
B．It’s more dangerous than lead climbing.
C．Two climbers compete at the same time.
9．Why did Cao Long turn to speed climbing
A．Because it needs fewer skills.
B．Because it fitted his physical condition.
C．Because he wanted to try something different.
10．What can we learn from Cao’s experience
A．Skills come from practice.
B．He who never failed might never succeed.
C．Facing challenges bravely leads to a new chance.
【答案】6．B 7．C 8．C 9．B 10．C
【导语】本文讲述了有“中国蜘蛛侠”之称的竞速攀岩运动员曹龙的故事。
6．细节理解题。根据“How fast can someone climb 15 meters—the height of a five-floor building The answer from Chinese speed climber Cao Long is 4.98 seconds.”可知，曹龙能用4.98秒爬上15米高的五层楼。故选B。
7．细节理解题。根据第二段的内容“People call Cao ‘the fastest man in China’ or ‘Chinese Spiderman’.”可知，曹龙是中国最快的攀岩者。故选C。
8．细节理解题。根据“Two climbers compete at the same time in the race.”可知，竞速攀岩是两名攀登者同时参赛。故选C。
9．推理判断题。根据“However, he got hurt unluckily. Then, he decided to try speed climbing because the skills of it are different and it puts less pressure on his body.”可知，曹龙受伤了，所以他决定尝试竞速攀岩，因为竞速攀岩比较适合他受伤后的身体状况。故选B。
10．主旨大意题。通读全文后可知，本文讲述了有“中国蜘蛛侠”之称的速度攀岩运动员曹龙的故事，原本曹龙的专攻项目是抱石攀岩和先锋攀岩，但不幸的是曹龙受伤了，身体不适合继续从事这两项运动，于是他决定尝试竞速攀岩，结果发现他也很擅长竞速攀岩，在不断的练习之后，他成为了中国最快的攀登者。从曹龙的经历中，我们可以学习到：面临挑战时，要勇于面对，它可能会带来新的机遇。故选C。

Hoh Xil National Natural Reserve (保护区) is located in Qinghai Province. It’s home to more than 200 species (物种) of wild animals. These include chiru, yaks, deer and brown bears. Recently, however, a wolf has stolen the show.
In July, 2023, a woman came across a skinny wolf while driving through Hoh Xil. The wolf looked hungry at the time. Out of kindness, the woman got out of the car and offered it some beef jerky. She later posted a video of her experience online. The video attracted many tourists to the area to feed the hungry wolf. Three months later, the wolf again caught public attention with noticeable changes in its size. In a recent video, the wolf can be seen as much larger and fatter. More surprisingly, it has learned to beg (乞讨) for food from tourists!
Feeding wild animals isn’t an unusual practice among tourists in the area. In addition to wild wolves, brown bears have also received their share of handouts from visitors. Last October, a netizen posted a video in which tourists fed several wild brown bears at a scenic spot, saying that these bears often go close to the village for food and that there seemed be a “harmonious” (和谐的) relationship between locals and bears.
However, experts warn that such behavior can have bad effects on these animals, as they may become increasingly dependent on humans. “Reserve has a complex food chain. Unless an animal is endangered, it’s better to stay away from it,” said Dai Qiang, an animal researcher. “And wild animals may carry bacteria (细菌). Getting too close to them can be dangerous.”
11．The underlined part “has stolen the show” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A．has drawn the attention B．has stolen the food
C．has eaten up the animals D．has performed a show
12．The woman offered beef jerky because she wanted to ________.
A．help the hungry wolf B．make friends with the wolf
C．get close to the wolf D．record a video of the wolf
13．What can we learn from the video posted last October
A．Villagers often sell food to visitors.
B．Locals call on people to protect the area.
C．Quite a few tourists like feeding wild animals.
D．A netizen got hurt when getting close to the bear.
14．What does Dai Qiang think of feeding wild animals
A．It will increase human dependence on nature.
B．It may harm the animals and be a risk to humans.
C．It is a good way to protect the endangered animals.
D．It improves the relationship between humans and animals.
15．What can be the best title for the text
A．Tourists in Hoh Xil B．From Visitor to Villager
C．Animals in Hoh Xil D．From Hunter to Beggar
【答案】11．A 12．A 13．C 14．B 15．D
【导语】本文主要讲述了青海可可西里国家级自然保护区，一头野狼因经常被游客和司机投喂而“判若两狼”的视频引发了广泛关注。野狼从猎手到乞丐，这个转变引发网友热议。
11．词句猜测题。根据第二段“The video attracted many tourists to the area to feed the hungry wolf. Three months later, the wolf again caught public attention with noticeable changes in its size.”可知，这段视频吸引了许多游客到该地区去喂这只饥饿的狼。三个月后，这只狼再次因为它的大小有明显的变化引起了公众的注意。所以“has stolen the show”意思是“引起了人们的注意”。故选A。
12．细节理解题。根据“The wolf looked hungry at the time. Out of kindness, the woman got out of the car and offered it some beef jerky.”可知，狼当时看起来很饿。出于好意，那个女人下了车，递给它一些牛肉干。由此可知，这位女士提供了牛肉干是因为她想帮助饥饿的狼。故选A。
13．推理判断题。根据“In addition to wild wolves, brown bears have also received their share of handouts from visitors. Last October, a netizen posted a video in which tourists fed several wild brown bears at a scenic spot, saying that these bears often go close to the village for food and that there seemed be a ‘harmonious’ (和谐的) relationship between locals and bears.”可知，除了野狼，棕熊也收到了来访者的分发品。去年10月有网友发布在青海某景点的视频有游客向多只棕熊投喂食物并称棕熊经常进村讨食当地人与棕熊关系“和睦”。由此可以推断，我们从去年十月发布的视频中了解到不少游客喜欢喂野生动物。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据“However, experts warn that such behavior can have bad effects on these animals, as they may become increasingly dependent on humans. And wild animals may carry bacteria (细菌). Getting too close to them can be dangerous.”可知，然而，专家警告说，这种行为可能会对这些动物产生不良影响。野生动物可能携带细菌。由此可知，喂食野生动物可能会伤害动物，并对人类构成风险。故选B。
15．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了青海可可西里国家级自然保护区，一头野狼因经常被游客和司机投喂而“判若两狼”的视频引发了广泛关注。野狼从猎手到乞丐，这个转变引发网友热议。故选D。

13．推理判断题。根据“In addition to wild wolves, brown bears have also received their share of handouts from visitors. Last October, a netizen posted a video in which tourists fed several wild brown bears at a scenic spot, saying that these bears often go close to the village for food and that there seemed be a ‘harmonious’ (和谐的) relationship between locals and bears.”可知，除了野狼，棕熊也收到了来访者的分发品。去年10月有网友发布在青海某景点的视频有游客向多只棕熊投喂食物并称棕熊经常进村讨食当地人与棕熊关系“和睦”。由此可以推断，我们从去年十月发布的视频中了解到不少游客喜欢喂野生动物。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据“However, experts warn that such behavior can have bad effects on these animals, as they may become increasingly dependent on humans. And wild animals may carry bacteria (细菌). Getting too close to them can be dangerous.”可知，然而，专家警告说，这种行为可能会对这些动物产生不良影响。野生动物可能携带细菌。由此可知，喂食野生动物可能会伤害动物，并对人类构成风险。故选B。
15．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了青海可可西里国家级自然保护区，一头野狼因经常被游客和司机投喂而“判若两狼”的视频引发了广泛关注。野狼从猎手到乞丐，这个转变引发网友热议。故选D。
