OK, so it's not a real war—but the U．S. and China are at the beginning of a trade war thanks to President Trump's policy. The Chinese government raised $34 billion in new duties on goods exported from the U．S. last week in answer to President Trump's unwise tariffs(关税) of $34 billion on Chinese goods.
Farm and seafood?producing states are going to be hit hardest by China's new tariffs on U．S. goods. States where cars are made and shipped to China are on_the_hook,_as well.
In terms of value, some 38 percent of products on the tariff list are agricultural, including soybeans, sorghum, tobacco and meat. That's nothing like good news for farm?belt states, primarily in the Midwest like Iowa.
A wide range of seafood is on China's tariff list. That could hurt fishery workers in Alaska and lobster(龙虾) harvesters in Maine. Alaska, for example, exported nearly $1 billion worth of seafood to China. “China is a major market for Alaska seafood，” said Alexa Tonkovich, Executive Director of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. “The seafood industry directly employs nearly 60,000 workers in Alaska each year and directly employs more workers than any other private industry.”
And automaking States, particularly in the South, are also at risk. Some 24 percent of products on the list—in terms of value—are cars, trucks and other vehicles. Michigan alone exported $1.7 billion worth of motor vehicles and vehicle parts to China in 2017. Other states being affected include South Carolina, where BMW makes SUVs for both the U．S. and export, and Alabama, home to Mercedes?Benz, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai Factories.
This round of tariffs spares some industries, like commercial aircraft. Washington State could breathe a sigh of relief, which is home to Boeing. It also, for the moment, skips tariffs on chemical products.
Alexa Tonkovich has warned the U．S. government that the trade war could risk jobs, reduce industry profits, and cause higher prices for consumers in the U．S.!
语篇导读 本文报道了由美国总统Trump主动挑起的中美贸易战对美国的农业、海鲜产业和汽车制造业的影响。
1．What does the underlined phrase “on the hook” mean?
A．Caught in a difficult situation.
B．Lost in deep thought.
C．Delighted in their luck.
D．Stuck in the traffic jams.
解析 A 词义猜测题。根据画线部分前一句和画线部分后的as well可知，画线词与hit hardest意思相近，故选A项。
2．Which state will be hurt the least on this round of tariffs?
A．Iowa. B．Maine.
C．Michigan. D．Washington.
解析 D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一、二句可知，这一轮加征关税对华盛顿州影响不大，故选D项。
3．What is Alexa Tonkovich's attitude towards the trade war?
A．Approving. B．Opposed.
C．Objective. D．Sympathetic.
解析 B 观点态度题。根据第四段可知，Alexa Tonkovich认为贸易战对美国的海鲜产业影响很大；最后一段提到，Alexa Tonkovich警告美国政府说贸易战可能威胁工作岗位，减少产业利润，造成物价上涨，因此可判断他反对贸易战，故选B项。

(2019·优创名校联考)With the ever?increasing popularity of online shopping, users' reviews are becoming more and more important.Given that you can't actually touch, see, smell or hear the product you're buying online, these reviews will provide you with valuable information on the product itself.But how far can you trust them?
Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience.“I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent reviews on a food website.However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time.Later, I wrote a review on the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept any bad reviews—only the good ones.”
So, how can you get a useful review? Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few top tips.“If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies.If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments.Also, watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different usernames, particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time.The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.”
Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem.A publishing house offered gift vouchers(购物礼券) to anyone who would give their textbook a five?star review.But not all online companies operate like this.“Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews，” said a spokesperson for the company.“We have very clear guidelines, and when a customer reports a review that he feels is inappropriate, we check, and may take it down.”
So, next time you see that five?star review for something you want to buy, be aware—it could be the work of a false reviewer!
语篇导读 如今网购非常普遍，消费者的评价变得越来越重要。但是，这些评价的可信度到底有多高呢？
4．What does “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Products. B．Users.
C．Reviews. D．Buyers.
解析 C 代词指代题。them指代上文中的名词复数形式，上文的复数名词有reviews和users，再根据下文的关于网上评价未必都和事实相符的例子可知，them指代reviews(评论)，故选C项。
5．What does Barnaby Bicken's story imply?
A．The food served was awful.
B．Not all reviews are believable.
C．Many people are easily cheated.
D．He likes to write bad reviews.
解析 B 推理判断题。Barnaby Bicken选择了一家网评很好的饭店吃饭，结果发现饭店的服务质量非常糟糕，自己想如实写一个评论发表，但又不被接受。该例子是对第一段最后一句的回应，故选B项。
6．What reviews of products are useful?
A．Those by competitors.
B．Those by different users.
C．Those with good comments.
D．Those with related information.
解析 D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，最好是寻找那些对评论的产品有相关了解的网评者，所以有产品相关信息的那些评论是有用的，故选D项。
7．How does Amazon deal with the customer reviews?
A．It helps to finish the reviews.
B．It pays attention to the bad reviews.
C．It offers gifts for the good reviews.
D．It tries to make the reviews objective.
解析 D 推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知，Amazon公司努力保持顾客评论的完整性，处理顾客所反映的不恰当的评论，因此可以推断出Amazon公司努力保持评论的客观性，故选D项。
