高三英语阅读精读讲解——打击“杀猪盘
外刊精选|防止更多人“孤注一掷”,中国重拳打击“杀猪盘”
上周国产反诈电影《孤注一掷》结束了公映。影片以现实题材为背景,揭露了位于东南亚某国的诈骗集团通过网络诈骗、高薪诱聘等方式,骗取钱财和劳工的全过程。近年来,类似于电影中所描述的诈骗工厂,在缅甸北部等地日益猖獗,不少中国人深受其害。为了斩断这条黑灰产业链,从8月开始,中国联合泰国、缅甸、老挝开展了专项打击行动。此类电信诈骗的具体运作方式是什么?中国打击电诈的行动取得了怎样的成效?
China Unleashes Crackdown on 'Pig Butchering.' (It Isn't What You Think.)
By Feliz Solomon
It's called "pig butchering."
Armies of scammers operating from lawless corners of Southeast Asia connect with people all over the world through online messages. They foster elaborate, sometimes romantic, relationships, and then coax their targets into making bogus investments. Over time, they make it appear that the investments are growing to get victims to send more money. Then, they disappear.
In recent months, China has unleashed its most aggressive effort to crack down on the proliferation of the scam mills, reaching beyond its territory and netting thousands of people in mass arrests. Its main target is a notorious stretch of its border with Myanmar controlled by narcotics traffickers and warlords.
The scammers operate out of secretive, dystopian compounds. They cheat Chinese citizens out of billions of dollars each year, as well as victims across the globe.
China says four thousand, six hundred and sixty-six suspects have been repatriated from Myanmar since the crackdown began earlier this year. "This is by any measure a major operation, which speaks to the impact on China and Chinese citizens, and the seriousness with which Beijing is approaching this,"said Richard Horsey, senior adviser on Myanmar for the International Crisis Group.
While China may be turning up the heat on cybercriminals along its border, experts say scamming is so lucrative that the ringleaders are likely to simply look for more fertile ground—areas where law enforcement is lax.

Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material The answers to both questions are often “no”. The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset (心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks — like identifying the main idea in a reading passage — to ones that require mental abstraction — such as drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper’s physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis (假说)”. According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.
Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies — say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.
21.What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Seem unlikely to last. B.Seem hard to explain.
C.Become ready to use. D.Become easy to notice.
22.What does the shallowing hypothesis assume
A.Readers treat digital texts lightly. B.Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C.People select digital texts randomly. D.Digital texts are suitable for social media.
23.Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers
A.They can hold students' attention. B.They are more convenient to prepare.
C.They help develop advanced skills. D.They are more informative than text.
24.What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A.Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B.Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C.Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D.Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.

【全文翻译】
中国对“杀猪盘”行为重拳出击(不是你想的那个“杀猪”)
这种诈骗手段被称作“杀猪盘”。
在东南亚法律无法触及的边隅一角,骗子大军通过网络将触角伸向世界各地的人。他们精心布局,有时甚至编织情网,将猎物引入他们设下的虚假投资局。在一段时间内,这群骗子会制造投资收益不断增长的假象,以怂恿受害者投进更多的钱,接着,他们就消失得无影无踪了。
近几个月来,中国发起了最猛烈的行动,以严厉打击诈骗工厂肆虐蔓延。此次行动深入到中国境外,并在大规模的逮捕行动中,将数千名诈骗犯一网打尽。这次行动主要针对中缅边境一块臭名昭著的区域,该区域由毒贩和军阀控制。
骗子们在隐秘的、条件恶劣的园区里活动。每年从中国公民和全球受害者那里骗取数以十亿的美元。
中国方面表示,从今年年初开展上述行动以来,已从缅甸遣返了4666名犯罪嫌疑人。国际危机组织的缅甸高级顾问理查德·霍尔西(Richard Horsey)说:“无论以何种标准衡量,这都是一次重大行动,这表明(电信诈骗)对中国和中国民众造成了何种影响,也展现出中方处理此事的严肃态度。”
虽然中国可能会持续加大对其边境地区网络犯罪分子的打击力度,但专家表示,网络诈骗的利润如此丰厚,犯罪头目很可能会找寻更适宜作案的“沃土”——那些执法不严之地。
拓展练习阅读理解参考答案
21.D 22.A 23.A 24.C
【导语】本文是议论文。主要讨论了纸质阅读与数字阅读、音频和视频学习方式的差异和效果。
21.词句猜测题。根据前文“When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding.(当阅读几百字或更多的文本时,在纸上学习通常比在屏幕上学习更成功。大量的研究证实了这一发现)”可知,在纸上学习更有成效,以及后文“when experimenters move from posing simple tasks — like identifying the main idea in a reading passage — to ones that require mental abstraction — such as drawing inferences from a text.(当实验人员从提出简单的任务(如识别阅读文章的主旨)转移到需要思维抽象的任务(如从文本中推断)时)”推知,此处应是表达“当实验者从简单的任务转向需要精神抽象的任务时,纸质阅读的益处就变得显而易见”之意,所以shine through应是“显而易见”之意,和D项意思相近。故选D项。
22.推理判断题。根据第四段“But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis (假说)”. According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.(但同样重要的是精神层面。阅读研究人员提出了一个名为“shallowing hypothesis”的理论。根据这一理论,人们以适合社交媒体的心态接触数字文本,这些文本通常不那么严肃,与阅读印刷品时相比,投入的精神努力也更少)”可知,shallowing hypothesis假设读者在阅读数字文本时会持有一种轻松的心态,不会像阅读纸质书籍那样投入太多的心理努力。故选A项。
23.细节理解题。根据第五段“Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies — say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person.(音频和视频可能比文本更具吸引力,因此大学教师越来越多地转向这些技术,例如分配在线讲座而不是同一作者的文章)”可知,音频和视频比文本更能吸引学生的注意力,所以大学教师越来越多地使用这些技术。故选A项。
24.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.(数字文本、音频和视频都具有教育作用,尤其是在提供印刷品中无法获得的资源时。然而,为了在需要精神集中和反思的情况下最大限度地学习,教育工作者不应假定所有媒体都是相同的,即使它们包含相同的单词)”可知,尽管数字文本、音频和视频在教育中有一定作用,但当需要精神集中和反思以最大化学习时,教育者不应假定所有媒体都是相同的,即使它们包含相同的单词。这表明作者认为纸质文本在教育中的作用仍然不可替代,因此暗示纸质文本在教育中的重要性。故选C项。
