1、Social media influencer marketing has become an increasingly popular strategy for brands to reach consumers. Influencers, with their large followings and the ability to engage audiences, are seen as powerful tools for promoting products and services. However, while influencer marketing shows great potential, its effectiveness metrics, mainly centered around follower count, engagement rate, and reach, have significant limitations.
These metrics are good at identifying influencers with a wide audience reach, but they struggle to distinguish between influencers who can drive actual sales and those who only generate surface-level engagement. For example, an influencer might have a high number of followers and a seemingly impressive engagement rate, but their audience may not be the right target for a particular brand's products. This means that a brand could invest heavily in an influencer campaign based on these metrics, only to see minimal return on investment.
This limitation may not be a major concern for brands that focus on increasing brand awareness in a broad sense. But for those aiming to achieve specific business goals, such as driving e-commerce sales or boosting product sign-ups, it can lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities.
In their current form, these effectiveness metrics have several drawbacks. First, follower count can be inflated through fake followers or bots, creating a false impression of an influencer's reach. Engagement rates can also be misleading, as some influencers may use tactics like "like-for-like" exchanges or buy fake comments to artificially boost numbers. Moreover, the concept of reach doesn't consider the quality of the audience reached. A large reach among an uninterested or mismatched audience is of little value to a brand.
To address these issues and provide brands with a more accurate understanding of an influencer's true value, several solutions can be considered. One approach is to analyze an influencer's audience demographics in more detail. Brands should look beyond basic metrics and study factors such as the age, gender, location, interests, and purchasing behavior of an influencer's followers. By doing so, they can determine whether the influencer's audience aligns with their target market.
Another key measure is to track the actual conversion rates resulting from influencer campaigns. Instead of relying solely on engagement and reach, brands should monitor how many clicks, purchases, or sign-ups an influencer drives. This data provides a more direct indication of an influencer's ability to generate business results. Additionally, brands can conduct A/B testing, comparing the performance of different influencers or influencer strategies, to identify the most effective approaches.
While these effectiveness metrics alone can't ensure the success of influencer marketing campaigns, implementing these improvements can make the evaluation process more reliable. This, in turn, helps brands make more informed decisions, optimize their marketing budgets, and achieve better results from influencer partnerships.
(1)、What function can the current effectiveness metrics of influencer marketing serve?A、They can help brands accurately measure sales growth.

B、They are definitely capable of driving significant sales. C、The engagement rate might not reflect real influence. D、They have a large number of loyal and active followers.(3)、What contributes to a more accurate evaluation of an influencer's value?A、Focusing solely on the follower count and reach. B、Relying on the engagement rate as the main criterion. C、Analyzing the demographics and conversion rates of the audience. D、Conducting surveys about the influencer's personal reputation.(4)、What is the main purpose of this passage?A、To compare different influencer marketing strategies. B、To expose the false data in influencer marketing metrics. C、To present the advantages of influencer marketing. D、To propose improvements for influencer marketing effectiveness metrics -
2、For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favorite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast- food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to my cravings within a few days.
This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion. Doctors couldn't directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once- mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy feeling in my mouth that I couldn't ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn't sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough, after two decades of indulgence.
Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there's no official "fried chicken addiction" listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research center mentions two main elements: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content triggers the release of endorphins in the brain, making us feel good, while the unique blend of spices stimulates our taste buds, making us want more.
Now, I'm on Day 35 of my "fried-chicken-free" journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings and even felt a bit down at times, almost like going through a mild withdrawal. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I'm really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life.
(1)、What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?A、Fried chicken was only a casual part of the author's diet. B、The author never worried about the health risks of eating fried chicken. C、The author had a deep and long-lasting love for fried chicken. D、The author successfully reduced the intake of fried chicken several times.(2)、What led the author to give up fried chicken?A、A doctor's strict order. B、Health problems and an unpleasant feeling after eating. C、A newfound dislike for the smell of chicken. D、A friend's advice on a healthier diet.(3)、What does the underlined word "allure" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A、harm B、cost C、waste D、attraction(4)、How does the author feel about giving up fried chicken?A、Regretful B、Confused C、Satisfied D、Uncertain. -

The Chinese-owned video platform, TikTok, is the fastest growing news source for UK adults, according to a survey. TikTok is used by 7% of adults for news, according to the UK's communications watchdog, up from 1% in 2020. The (grow) is primarily driven by young users, with half of its news followers (age)16 to 24.
"Teenagers today are (increasing) unlikely to pick up a newspaper or turn to TV news, instead preferring (keep) up to date by scrolling (滚屏) through their social feeds," said Yih-Choung Teh, Ofcom's group director for strategy and research. "And youngsters find news on social media to be less reliable, they rate these services more highly for serving up a range of (opinion) on the day's topical stories."
Nic Newman, a senior research associate at the Reuters institute for the Study of journalism, said the institute's own research (indicate) that TikTok was not used a platform for serious current affairs. "Even young people, mostly, don't see it as a platform for serious news. But they see it as good place to get news about celebrities or issues that are not about life and death. They will often use TikTok in combination with traditional news when something really big (happen) like the war in Ukraine," he said.

8、People have been adding colorings (色素) to their food for thousands of years. This tradition is widely thought to have taken place in Egyptian cities as early as 1500 BC. With time going by, food colorings grew more and more popular.
At one point, all food colorings got their colors from natural sources. Insects and rocks were also often used as sources of food colorings. The natural world still remains a common source of many of today's commercial colorings.
Nowadays, scientists have also developed artificial (人造的) food colorings. These colorings have many advantages. For example, in many cases, it's less expensive to create colors artificially. In addition, with artificial food colorings, people can create especially bright colors or colors hard to find in nature, such as blue.
Whether food colorings come naturally or artificially, there are health and safety concerns about them. But they have been removed from the market due to health concerns, and some people thus try to avoid food colorings. However, avoiding food colorings can actually be quite difficult.
Many governments around the world limit the types of things that can be used in food colorings. And different countries have different labeling (贴标签) systems for food colorings, which allow people to be clear what food coloring it is. Many countries also make certain rules and laws to deal with adding and creating food colorings illegally.
A. All food colorings come from two sources.
B. Some food colorings are not good for our health.
C. Plants, like flowers, were very common examples.
D. Several food colorings were once recognised as safe.
E. As a result, artificial food colorings are widely used.
F. Measures thus have been taken for food colorings' safety.
G. At that time, candy makers used colorings to improve products' appearance.

9、As more and more people speak the global languages of English,Chinese, Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations — UNESCO and National Geographic among them — have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials — including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the youngers.
Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
(1)、Many scholars are making efforts to________.A、promote global language B、rescue disappearing languages C、search for language communities D、set up language research organizations(2)、What does "that tradition" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A、Having full records of the languages. B、Writing books on language teaching. C、Telling stories about language users. D、Living with the native speakers.(3)、What is Turin's book based on?A、The cultural studies in India. B、The documents available at Yale. C、His language research in Bhutan. D、His personal experience in Nepal.(4)、Which of the following best describes Turin's work?A、Write, sell and donate. B、Record, repair and reward. C、Design, experiment and report. D、Collect, protect and reconnect. -
