What is a GPA
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs.
Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith Winter 2023
Courses Letter Grade Grade points Credit hours Total points GPA
Creative Writing A+ 4.0 3 12 -
Psychology A- 3.7 3 11.1 -
History B+ 3.3 3 9.9 -
Computer Science F 0.0 2 0 -
Total - - 11 33
How to calculate a GPA
● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term:
● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system:
● Multiply the grade point s by the credit hours for that course;
● Add up all the credit hours for the courses:
● Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.
What are the consequences of failing college courses
● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organizations and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs.
● Most financial aid programs require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to removal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the courses and pass.
1. What is Jane Smith’s GPA this term
A. 3.3. B. 3.0. C. 2.8. D. 1.0.
2. What would be a result if you get one F in college
A. School removal. B. Loss of financial aid.
C. Choice limitation. D. Disqualification from sports.
3. Where is this text probably taken from
A. An academic course guide. B. A campus job fair poster.
C. A graduate application form. D. An athletic team schedule.

For more than a century, the Mississippi Delta has been a popular destination for immigrants. Recently, I was assigned to learn more about one immigrant group: the Chinese in Greenville, a small city along the Mississippi River. There I met Raymond Wong. whose family has long been part of the community.
The first wave of Chinese immigrants came to the Mississippi Delta soon after the Civil War, and the pace picked up by the early 1900s. The Chinese initially came to pick cotton, but they quickly started opening grocery stores, mostly in the African-American communities where they lived.
“On my street alone, there were no less than four grocery stores. I’m talking about a minor street,” Wong recalls. “I was raised in a grocery store. All my family — six of us — lived in a couple of rooms at the back of our store. As soon as I could calculate money I had to work in the store.”
In 1968, Wong’s father opened a Chinese restaurant, one of the first in the town. “The restaurant existed for 40 years.” Wong says. Wong remembers a time of big excitement when his family finally could afford to buy a house in a white neighborhood. Then suddenly, that conversation stopped.
“When people found out that we were moving in, they started throwing bottles in the driveway,” Wong says. “We ended up building a house directly behind the grocery.”
And the future It’s probably not in the Delta. Wong remembers the question his son raised when he was still in high school: “Dad, do you want me to take over the store when you retire ” Wong’s response was immediate: “No. I want you to live better than me.” That’s the story of the typical Delta Chinese.
4. What did the Delta Chinese originally do shortly after the Civil War
A. Working in cotton fields. B. Running restaurants.
C. Importing Chinese food. D. Opening grocery stores.
5. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Raymond Wong had a fun and care free childhood.
B. The store owners’ children were very talented in math.
C. There was intense competition among the grocery stores.
D. The Wong family was among the most successful families in Greenville.
6. Why did the Wongs stop buying their ideal house
A. Because the house owner raised the price. B. Because their business failed unexpectedly.
C. Because they did not have enough money. D. Because the white people did not accept them.
7. How do the typical Chinese feel about their life in the Delta
A. Embarrassed. B. Insecure. C. Unconcerned. D. Optimistic.
C
If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an advanced virtual reality device. Rikke Wahl was one of the participants in a body switching experiment at the Be Another lab. She switched with her partner, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man.
The set-up of the experiment is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. To get used to seeing another person’s body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronized (同步的) movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person’s body.
Using such technology may transform people’s behaviour afterwards — potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism — the bias (偏见) that humans have against those who don’t look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire, which measures the strength of people’s associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants’ bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you’ve “put yourself in another’s shoes” you’re less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalized the feeling of being that person.
The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. “At the end of body switching, people feel like holding each other in their arms,” says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project.
8. Which of the following best explains “switching” in paragraph 1
A. establishing B. exchanging C. demonstrating D. transforming
9. What can be inferred from the experiment at the Be Another lab
A. Our feelings are related to our bodily experience.
B. We can learn to take control of other people’s bodies.
C. Participants will live more passionately after the experiment.
D. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their genders.
10. What can we know about the participant s before they used virtual reality glasses
A. They struggled strongly against racism. B. They scored lower on the test for racism.
C. They changed their behaviour dramatically. D. They were more intolerant of those unlike them.
11. What message can be concluded from the passage
A. Technology helps people realize their dreams.
B. Our biases could be removed through experiments.
C. Virtual reality helps promote understanding among people.
D. Our points of view about other people need changing frequently.
D
The recent criticisms of Taylor Swift for her silence on the war in Gaza highlight a strange issue: the unrealistic expectations we place on celebrities to be know-alls. It’s a topic worth looking into.
While many are quick to urge figures like Taylor Swift to make their voices. to global issues, a concerning pattern emerges on the flip side: celebrities navigating the dark waters of complex issues with limited knowledge. Take, for instance, Billie Eilish’s fashion choice at the Oscars — a red hand pin. This wasn’t just any accessory(配饰); it’s rooted in the upset history of the cruel treatment of two Israelis. It raises the question: Was Eilish aware of the weighty story this symbol carries This moment serves as a reminder of the nuance(微妙的) balance celebrities must strike between being supportive and the profound responsibility of using a public platform.
The celebrity culture in the United States, where public figures are promoted to almost god-like status, plays a significant role in such behavior. They are seen as perfect, their opinions holy. When we prioritize a celebrity’s opinion over those with professional knowledge, we do severe damage to the complexity of these issues.
As a society, we must reevaluate our extreme pursuit of celebrity culture and recognize the limitations of depending on entertainers for guidance on complex issues. This doesn’t mean celebrities can’t or shouldn’t speak out on matters. It’s entirely sensible for Taylor Swift to publicly support political candidates in her home country. The action originates from personal values, which are different from commenting on international conflicts without a deep understanding of the nuances involved.
In advocating for this sensible approach, we’re not suggesting celebrities should remain silent on all matters of public concern. Instead, we’re calling for a transformation in how we, as the public, understand and react to their involvement in social and political issues.
Ultimately, the goal should be to create a more sympathetic, informed society that values extensive knowledge and genuine activism over celebrity support. By encouraging public figures to use their platforms responsibly and directing our attention to where they can make a real difference, we take a step toward a more insightful understanding of global issues.
12. Why is “a red hand pin” mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To make fun of Billie’s limited knowledge on debating.
B. To demonstrate Billie’s unawareness of irresponsible recommendation.
C. To sing high praises for Billie’s good taste for fashion at the Oscars.
D. To criticize Billie for her misapplication of the public platform.
13. What does “such behavier” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Billie’s unreasonable selection of a red hand pin at the Oscars.
B. Celebrities’ irresponsible opinions on critical global conversations.
C. Public’s great desire for celebrities to comment on key global issues.
D. Taylor Swift’s golden silence about the crucial international concern.
14. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Experts tend to increase the complexity of the issues.
B. Celebrities’ voices are as important as those of experts.
C. Celebrities should voice views on matters at home and abroad.
D. We should reassess the social and political roles of celebrities.
15. Which of the following might be the best title of this passage
A. Expect the Unexpected B. Public Platforms, Powerful Places.
C. The Drawback of Celebrity Recommendation D. The Nature of Celebrity Responsibility

I didn’t like Del so much. He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too.
He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said.
The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem ” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone.
During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why ” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him.
Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言).
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game.

Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over.

What is a GPA
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs.
Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith Winter 2023
Courses Letter Grade Grade points Credit hours Total points GPA
Creative Writing A+ 4.0 3 12 -
Psychology A- 3.7 3 11.1 -
History B+ 3.3 3 9.9 -
Computer Science F 0.0 2 0 -
Total - - 11 33
How to calculate a GPA
● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term:
● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system:
● Multiply the grade point s by the credit hours for that course;
● Add up all the credit hours for the courses:
● Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.
What are the consequences of failing college courses
● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organizations and program choices, as competitive programs require top GPAs.
● Most financial aid programs require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to removal from financial aid programs, unless you retake the courses and pass.

For more than a century, the Mississippi Delta has been a popular destination for immigrants. Recently, I was assigned to learn more about one immigrant group: the Chinese in Greenville, a small city along the Mississippi River. There I met Raymond Wong. whose family has long been part of the community.
The first wave of Chinese immigrants came to the Mississippi Delta soon after the Civil War, and the pace picked up by the early 1900s. The Chinese initially came to pick cotton, but they quickly started opening grocery stores, mostly in the African-American communities where they lived.
“On my street alone, there were no less than four grocery stores. I’m talking about a minor street,” Wong recalls. “I was raised in a grocery store. All my family — six of us — lived in a couple of rooms at the back of our store. As soon as I could calculate money I had to work in the store.”
In 1968, Wong’s father opened a Chinese restaurant, one of the first in the town. “The restaurant existed for 40 years.” Wong says. Wong remembers a time of big excitement when his family finally could afford to buy a house in a white neighborhood. Then suddenly, that conversation stopped.
“When people found out that we were moving in, they started throwing bottles in the driveway,” Wong says. “We ended up building a house directly behind the grocery.”
And the future It’s probably not in the Delta. Wong remembers the question his son raised when he was still in high school: “Dad, do you want me to take over the store when you retire ” Wong’s response was immediate: “No. I want you to live better than me.” That’s the story of the typical Delta Chinese.
4. What did the Delta Chinese originally do shortly after the Civil War
A. Working in cotton fields. B. Running restaurants.
C. Importing Chinese food. D. Opening grocery stores.
5. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Raymond Wong had a fun and care free childhood.
B. The store owners’ children were very talented in math.
C. There was intense competition among the grocery stores.
D. The Wong family was among the most successful families in Greenville.
6. Why did the Wongs stop buying their ideal house
A. Because the house owner raised the price. B. Because their business failed unexpectedly.
C. Because they did not have enough money. D. Because the white people did not accept them.
7. How do the typical Chinese feel about their life in the Delta
A. Embarrassed. B. Insecure. C. Unconcerned. D. Optimistic.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是Raymond Wong一家的移民经历和生活。

细节理解题。根据第二段“The Chinese initially came to pick cotton, but they quickly started opening grocery stores, mostly in the African-American communities where they lived.(中国人最初是来摘棉花的,但他们很快就开始开杂货店,主要是在他们居住的非洲裔美国人社区)”可知,内战后不久,Delta华人最初在棉花田里工作。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“On my street alone, there were no less than four grocery stores. I’m talking about a minor street(仅在我住的那条街上,就有不下四家杂货店。我说的是一条小街)”可知,杂货店之间的竞争很激烈。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““When people found out that we were moving in, they started throwing bottles in the driveway,” Wong says.(“当人们发现我们要搬进来的时候,他们开始往车道上扔瓶子,”Wong说)”可知,Wong家停止购买他们理想的房子是因为白人不接受他们。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And the future It’s probably not in the Delta.(未来呢?可能不在三角洲)”和倒数第二段““When people found out that we were moving in, they started throwing bottles in the driveway,” Wong says. “We ended up building a house directly behind the grocery.”(“当人们发现我们要搬进来的时候,他们开始往车道上扔瓶子,”Wong说。“我们最后在杂货店后面盖了一栋房子。”)”可知,典型的中国人对在三角洲的生活感到不安全。故选B。

If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an advanced virtual reality device. Rikke Wahl was one of the participants in a body switching experiment at the Be Another lab. She switched with her partner, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man.
The set-up of the experiment is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. To get used to seeing another person’s body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronized (同步的) movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person’s body.
Using such technology may transform people’s behaviour afterwards — potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism — the bias (偏见) that humans have against those who don’t look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire, which measures the strength of people’s associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants’ bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you’ve “put yourself in another’s shoes” you’re less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalized the feeling of being that person.
The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. “At the end of body switching, people feel like holding each other in their arms,” says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project.
8. Which of the following best explains “switching” in paragraph 1
A. establishing B. exchanging C. demonstrating D. transforming
9. What can be inferred from the experiment at the Be Another lab
A. Our feelings are related to our bodily experience.
B. We can learn to take control of other people’s bodies.
C. Participants will live more passionately after the experiment.
D. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their genders.
10. What can we know about the participant s before they used virtual reality glasses
A. They struggled strongly against racism. B. They scored lower on the test for racism.
C. They changed their behaviour dramatically. D. They were more intolerant of those unlike them.
11. What message can be concluded from the passage
A. Technology helps people realize their dreams.
B. Our biases could be removed through experiments.
C. Virtual reality helps promote understanding among people.
D. Our points of view about other people need changing frequently.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是一种可以让人成为另一个人的虚拟现实设备,它的原理及作用。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“She switched with her partner, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man.(她和她的伴侣交换了身份,使用了一台名为“成为另一个人的机器”,暂时变成了一个男人)”可知,“a body switching experiment”是“交换身体实验”,因此switching的意思是“交换”,和B项意思相近。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“The idea is that once you’ve “put yourself in another’s shoes” you’re less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalized the feeling of being that person.(这个想法是,一旦你“设身处地为别人着想”,你就不太可能对他们有不好的想法,因为你的大脑已经内化了成为那个人的感觉)”可推知,我们的感觉与我们的身体体验有关,故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism — the bias (偏见) that humans have against those who don’t look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire, which measures the strength of people’s associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants’ bias scores were lower. (研究表明,虚拟现实可以有效地对抗种族主义——人类对那些看起来或听起来不像自己的人的偏见。巴塞罗那大学的研究人员给了人们一份调查问卷,用来衡量人们对黑人和诸如好、坏、运动或笨拙等形容词的联想程度。然后,他们要求他们用虚拟现实眼镜控制一个深色皮肤的数字角色的身体,然后再进行一次测试。这一次,参与者的偏见得分较低)”可推知,在参与者使用虚拟现实眼镜之前,他们更不能容忍与自己不同的人。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Using such technology may transform people’s behaviour afterwards — potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism — the bias (偏见) that humans have against those who don’t look or sound like them.(使用这种技术可能会改变人们之后的行为——可能会变得更好。研究表明,虚拟现实可以有效地对抗种族主义——人类对那些看起来或听起来不像自己的人的偏见)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了虚拟现实有助于促进人与人之间的理解。故选C项。

The recent criticisms of Taylor Swift for her silence on the war in Gaza highlight a strange issue: the unrealistic expectations we place on celebrities to be know-alls. It’s a topic worth looking into.
While many are quick to urge figures like Taylor Swift to make their voices. to global issues, a concerning pattern emerges on the flip side: celebrities navigating the dark waters of complex issues with limited knowledge. Take, for instance, Billie Eilish’s fashion choice at the Oscars — a red hand pin. This wasn’t just any accessory(配饰); it’s rooted in the upset history of the cruel treatment of two Israelis. It raises the question: Was Eilish aware of the weighty story this symbol carries This moment serves as a reminder of the nuance(微妙的) balance celebrities must strike between being supportive and the profound responsibility of using a public platform.
The celebrity culture in the United States, where public figures are promoted to almost god-like status, plays a significant role in such behavior. They are seen as perfect, their opinions holy. When we prioritize a celebrity’s opinion over those with professional knowledge, we do severe damage to the complexity of these issues.
As a society, we must reevaluate our extreme pursuit of celebrity culture and recognize the limitations of depending on entertainers for guidance on complex issues. This doesn’t mean celebrities can’t or shouldn’t speak out on matters. It’s entirely sensible for Taylor Swift to publicly support political candidates in her home country. The action originates from personal values, which are different from commenting on international conflicts without a deep understanding of the nuances involved.
In advocating for this sensible approach, we’re not suggesting celebrities should remain silent on all matters of public concern. Instead, we’re calling for a transformation in how we, as the public, understand and react to their involvement in social and political issues.
Ultimately, the goal should be to create a more sympathetic, informed society that values extensive knowledge and genuine activism over celebrity support. By encouraging public figures to use their platforms responsibly and directing our attention to where they can make a real difference, we take a step toward a more insightful understanding of global issues.
12. Why is “a red hand pin” mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To make fun of Billie’s limited knowledge on debating.
B. To demonstrate Billie’s unawareness of irresponsible recommendation.
C. To sing high praises for Billie’s good taste for fashion at the Oscars.
D. To criticize Billie for her misapplication of the public platform.
13. What does “such behavier” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Billie’s unreasonable selection of a red hand pin at the Oscars.
B. Celebrities’ irresponsible opinions on critical global conversations.
C. Public’s great desire for celebrities to comment on key global issues.
D. Taylor Swift’s golden silence about the crucial international concern.
14. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Experts tend to increase the complexity of the issues.
B. Celebrities’ voices are as important as those of experts.
C. Celebrities should voice views on matters at home and abroad.
D. We should reassess the social and political roles of celebrities.
15. Which of the following might be the best title of this passage
A. Expect the Unexpected B. Public Platforms, Powerful Places.
C. The Drawback of Celebrity Recommendation D. The Nature of Celebrity Responsibility
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了名人在一些敏感政治话题以及社会问题上的观点将产生的影响,明确了名人的社会责任。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Take, for instance, Billie Eilish’s fashion choice at the Oscars — a red hand pin. This wasn’t just any accessory(配饰); it’s rooted in the upset history of the cruel treatment of two Israelis. It raises the question: Was Eilish aware of the weighty story this symbol carries This moment serves as a reminder of the nuance(微妙的) balance celebrities must strike between being supportive and the profound responsibility of using a public platform.(举个例子,Billie Eilish在奥斯卡颁奖典礼上的时尚选择——红色手针。这不仅仅是任何配件;这源于两名以色列人遭受残酷对待的令人不安的历史。这就提出了一个问题:艾丽斯是否意识到这个符号所承载的沉重故事?这一时刻提醒我们,名人必须在支持和使用公共平台的深刻责任之间取得微妙的平衡。)”可知,在第二段提到了“红色的手针”是为了表明Billie没有意识到不负责任的宣传。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“While many are quick to urge figures like Taylor Swift to make their voices. to global issues, a concerning pattern emerges on the flip side: celebrities navigating the dark waters of complex issues with limited knowledge. (虽然许多人很快就敦促泰勒·斯威夫特等人物在关键的全球对话中发表自己的声音,但另一方面却出现了一种令人担忧的模式:名人在知识有限的情况下,在复杂辩论的黑暗水域中航行)”以及第三段“The celebrity culture in the United States, where public figures are promoted to almost god-like status, plays a significant role in such behavior. (美国的名人文化在这种行为中发挥了重要作用,公众人物被提升到几乎像上帝一样的地位。)”可知,第3段中的“这一行为”指的是名人在重要的全球对话中不负责任的观点。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“As a society, we must reevaluate our extreme pursuit of celebrity culture and recognize the limitations of depending on entertainers for guidance on complex issues.(作为一个社会,我们必须重新评估我们对名人文化的极端追求,并认识到在复杂问题上依靠艺人指导的局限性。)”可推知,我们应该重新评估名人的社会和政治角色。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The recent criticisms of Taylor Swift for her silence on the war in Gaza highlight a strange issue: the unrealistic expectations we place on celebrities to be know-alls. It’s a topic worth looking into.(最近,泰勒·斯威夫特因对加沙战争保持沉默而受到批评,这凸显了一个奇怪的问题:我们对名人成为无所不知的不切实际的期望。这是一个值得研究的话题。)”以及最后一段“By encouraging public figures to use their platforms responsibly and directing our attention to where they can make a real difference, we take a step toward a more insightful understanding of global issues.(通过鼓励公众人物负责任地使用他们的平台,并将我们的注意力引导到他们可以真正有所作为的地方,我们朝着对全球问题有更深刻的理解迈出了一步。)”结合文章可知,本文主要说明了名人在一些敏感政治话题以及社会问题上的观点将产生的影响,明确了名人的社会责任。所以D选项The Nature of Celebrity Responsibility(名人责任的本质)最符合文章标题。故选D项。
