15. Why the hunger for private messaging apps? Perhaps people are becoming more interested in actually communicating rather than broadcasting. Maybe we don't want personal and private lives merging anymore and we want control over our different social circles within these messaging apps. As my 16-year-old nephew put it, "My friend posted on Facebook and we made fun of him. We only use Snapchat now because who wants to put everything in public all the time? This just connects me with my real friends." Social media won't go away, but traditional social networks may become less important to certain groups. The rise of more intimate channels presents new opportunities, and perhaps perils, for marketers. What is TRUE about the private massaging apps? ______
A.People make fun of each other on these apps.
B.You need to put private information on them all the time.
C.It would make the social media disappear.
D.It builds connection with your real friends.
A B C D
D

We only..." 可知只是作者16岁的侄子说他在脸书上嘲笑他的朋友;B项“你总是需要把自己的私人信息发布在软件上”是对文中第一段We only use Snapchat now because who wants to put everything in public all the time?的曲解,文中只是用反问的语气表达了没人想要总是在这些软件上发布自己的私人信息;C项“私人信息应用软件将会使社交媒体消失”根据文中第二段第一句话的前半句Social media won't go away可知社交媒体并不会消失;根据文中第一段As my 16-year-old nephew put it, "My friend...This just connects me with my real friends”可知D项“私人信息应用软件能够加强与真正朋友之间的联系”正确。

[解析] 词义猜测题。根据题干中的consolidate定位到文章第二段第四行...to create links that consolidate and enrich the networks among these stakeholders。consolidate一词中solid有“可靠的,结实的”意思,加上前缀con-可意为“使结实”,即“巩固,加强”。同时根据前文可以得知,本次论坛已经是第十四届,因此利益相关人员之间的联系早已建立,本届论坛的作用应该是在此基础上的巩固和丰富,故本题选B。
