C1 Advanced Open Cloze – test 9. Tekst o mediach społecznościowych i o tym, czy naprawdę tracimy zdolność koncentracji. Test miesza różne typy luk: porównania z as, zdania względne, no matter i wyrażenia go so far as to.
C1 Advanced Open Cloze – koncentracja w dobie social mediów
Ten test jest bliski formatowi prawdziwego egzaminu – każda luka sprawdza coś innego. Zwróć uwagę na:
- not so much X as Y – nie tyle X, co Y,
- , which makes them… – zdanie względne odnoszące się do całej wcześniejszej myśli,
- No matter how… – bez względu na to, jak…
Jak rozwiązywać?
Zanim zaczniesz wpisywać, przeczytaj cały tekst – część luk da się uzupełnić dopiero po zrozumieniu kolejnego zdania. Po błędnej odpowiedzi zobaczysz wskazówkę z regułą, a potem możesz podejrzeć klucz. Pisz poprawnie ortograficznie – w egzaminie Cambridge C1 Advanced literówka oznacza utratę punktu.
Przedostatni test z serii C1 Advanced Open Cloze – przed tobą już tylko test 10.
For questions 1–8, read the text below and think of the word which best fits each gap. Use only one word in each gap. There is an example at the beginning (0).
Can you still concentrate?
It has become something of a cliché to claim that our attention spans are shrinking, but (0) is there any truth in it? Some studies suggest that people now switch between tasks (1) often as every forty seconds. Others, however, argue that we are not so much losing our ability to focus (2) choosing to use it differently. (3) to one researcher, the problem lies less with our brains than with the apps we use.
Many platforms are deliberately designed to keep us scrolling for as long (4) possible. Notifications, for instance, exploit the brain’s reward system, (5) makes them hard to ignore. (6) matter how disciplined we are, it is difficult to resist such techniques.
Some people have gone (7) far as to delete their accounts altogether. Others prefer a less drastic approach, limiting (8) use of social media to certain times of day. Whatever the truth, it seems we would all benefit from a little less screen time.
