质量的广告，这些低质量的广告导致主要的社交媒体平台逐渐变得没有吸引力，只剩下了一些低价的广告商。28．推理判断题。根据第一段中“PortiaKapraunhasalwaysseenunwelcomeadsonTwitter,usuallyfrommajorbrandspitching(竭力推销)herexpensivejewelryorvehiclesthatshe,asalibrarianinIndiana,couldnotafford.3Ms.Kapraunwasnotinterested.Butshesoonsawtheadsagain.Andagain.Andagain.(PortiaKappraun总是在Twitter上看到不受欢迎的广告，通常是大品牌向她推销昂贵的珠宝或汽车，作为印第安纳州的图书管理员，她买不起这些广告。Portia对此不感兴趣。但她很快又看到了广告。一次又一次。一次又一次。)”可知，第一段中通过讲述Portia的故事是为了说明她总是会在Twitter上一次又一次的看到不受欢迎的广告，其目的是引出本文所探讨的问题——社交媒体用户经常会遇到不想要的广告。故选B。29．词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Asnumerousdeep-pocketedmarketershavepulledback,andthesoftermarkethasledseveraldigitalplatformstolowertheiradpricing(随着众多财力雄厚的营销人员撤出市场，加上市场疲软导致数家数字平台降低了广告定价)”可知，由于广告市场放缓，财力雄厚的广告资本退出市场因此很多数字平台降低了广告的定价，由此导致很多要求很低的广告商获得了机会即可以以较低的价格承接广告。C选项“Theycannowadvertiseatamoreaffordableprice.(他们现在可以以更实惠的价格做广告。)”符合文章信息。故选C。30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Manyofthemareavoidingtargetedads—placementsintendedtoreachspecificaudiences,usuallyatahighercost—infavorofacheaperspray-and-pray(广撒网式的)approachonline,hopingtocatchtheattentionofgullible(容易受骗的)orboredshoppers.(他们中的许多人都在避免定向广告——通常以更高的成本投放到特定的受众——而倾向于更便宜的在线“广撒网式的”方式，希望吸引容易上当受骗或无聊的购物者的注意。)”以及“Majorsocialmediaplatformsarenowlike“amallthatusedtobegood”,CoreyRichardson,vicepresidentata
