根据后文可知,这些社交媒体不仅仅是对个人开放,而且也为小企业和公司服务。B项“然而,社交媒体并不仅仅针对个人。”符合句意。2.E

此处是段落首句。根据下文内容可知,本段介绍了公司利用社交媒体所获得的好处。E项“公司可以通过多种方式从社交媒体中受益。”适合做段首句。ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅤⅥⅦ3.F

根据空后“It

allows

fans

and

customers

to

leave

comments

about

companies,their

products,or

their

services.”可知,它会让顾客对公司、产品或服务进行评价,因而前文中需告诉读者代词It指的是社交媒体以及社交媒体对企业的影响。F项“社交媒体也让企业对其品牌形象有了更大的控制。”符合语境。4.D

根据上文“A

common

mistake

is

putting

new

hires

or

outside

consultants

in

charge

of

social

media

accounts.”可知,让新员工或外部顾问负责社交媒体账户是错误的,所以要说明他们不能很好地处理问题。D项“控制这些账户的人必须学识渊博。”符合语境,说明学识渊博的人正好弥补了新员工所带来的不足,符合语境。5.G

根据段首句可知,这段主要围绕怎样精心策划一些策略,才能让公司在社交媒体上受益。空处为段落总结句,G项中的“these

tips”和前面的“a

carefully-planned

strategy”相呼应,而且总结了只有遵循这些技巧,组织才能将其业务提升到一个新的水平。ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅤⅥⅦⅠⅡⅢⅣⅤⅥⅦⅥ.应用文写作(2023湖南长沙高二期中)随着信息技术的飞速发展,微博、微信以及抖音等媒体平台得以普遍使用和推广。假如你是李华,请你就它们的优缺点,写一篇英语短文,参加你校英语社团组织的主题为“Howtousesocialmediumplatformswisely”的征文比赛。注意:1.写作词数为80左右;2.短文开头已给出,不计入总词数。Withtheadvancementofinformationtechnology,manysocialmediumplatformsarebecomingincreasinglypopularinChina.
