After written art had to fight a tough battle for attraction during the first decade of social media, owing to a certain group of writers, it is now on a significant rise. How Instagram and Twitter have offered jumpstarts to careers of authors like Dean Cocozza sets a blueprint for thousands of ambitious writers.

Cocozza started writing lyrics for his music as a teenager. He immediately had to experience that translating art to social media is not as simple as posting whatever his pen put down.

“Anyone who uses the platform with an intent will quickly learn that you only have the glimpse of a moment to catch the viewer's attention. So the work I shared shifted to be more to the point, often one-liners. Then stuff started to go viral."

The success and demand for more poems resulted in his first book Zero Dark Thirty, which sold out quickly. Despite the book containing mostly short writings, even said one-liners, Cocozza emphasizes that he doesn't write for social media. "It was a very personal project resulting from a certain period of time" in his life. There are much bigger things that he works on and plans to get involved in.

Dean Cocozza has brought back emotional depth. In-between monetized (货币化的)content, blatant (明目 张胆的)advertising and “perfect lives”, social media holds a spot for a new generation of artists, including literature. Critical thinkers and authentic writers remind the app's consumers of their emotional human nature. Art galleries and bookstores might have lost a big part of their audience to digital media - but the art itself will always find ways to survive.

4. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Written art. B. A tough battle. C. Social media. D. A group of writers.

5. What challenged Cocozza when he began to translate art to social media?

A. To earn a living. B. To draw readers' attention.

C. To protect his personal life. D. To show emotional depth.

6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Works with emotional depth are widely accepted on social media.

B. People with perfect lives like social media better.

C. Art galleries and bookstores will soon disappear.

D. Arts of emotion depth still hold value on social media.

7. What's the author's attitude towards art in the future?

A. Positive. B. Carefree. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.

C

Adults with a poor education are also likely to have poor health, a growing body of evidence suggests. Study after study has confirmed the link, and now experts are zeroing in on the reasons for it and what can be done. "Persons with a higher education tend to have better jobs, and better income, better benefits," said David R. Williams, a professor of public health in America.

Those benefits, he said, go beyond health benefits to include such other factors as having the flexibility to take a day off or part of a day to see a doctor. "People with higher levels of education tend to have more resources to cope with stress and life," Williams said. They have stress, of course, but also more resources to cope with it - such as access to a health club to exercise away the stress - than people with less education, he said.

“Being better educated also means that a person is more likely to understand the world of modem medicine," said Erik Angner, an assistant professor of philosophy and economics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who has researched the link between education and happiness. “Modem medicine is incredibly complex. And if you lack the basic reading skills required to function adequately in the health-care environment, you might find it harder to effectively understand your medical care.”

A report issued by Williams' commission found that, compared with college graduates, adults who did not graduate from high school were 2.5 times as likely to be less than very good health. The report suggested that factors outside the medical system play an important role in determining people's health. Access to medical care is crucial, but it isn't enough to improve health. What's needed, they suggested, is increased focus on schools and education - encouraging people to obtain more education.

8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Poor Education May Lead to Poor Health

B. Higher Education Can Bring More Income

C. Happiness Comes from Good Education

D. Medical Care Safeguards Good Health

9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. Resources to deal with life.

B. Ways to exercise away stress.

C. Factors concerning a higher education.

D. Benefits related to a higher education. 

10. What can we learn from Angner's words?

A. Better education means understanding the world better.

B. Modem medicine world is too difficult to understand.

C. People with a good education may be happier.

D. Reading skills help in understanding medical care.

11. What is stressed in the report issued by Williams' commission?

A. Adults are less likely to have good health.

B. The medical system determines people's health.

C. More education is needed to improve health.

D. More access to medical care is important.

D

It might seem strange to be making predictions about 2021, but one thing is clear: technology has been affected just as much as every other part of our lives. Another clear thing is that today's most important technology trends will play a big part in helping us deal with and adapt to the many challenges facing us. From the shift to working from home to new rules about how we meet and interact in public spaces, technology trends will be the driving force in managing the change.

One of the major technology trends that are likely to play out this year is 5G and enhanced connectivity. Each successive advance in mobile connectivity from 3G onwards has unlocked new use cases for the Internet. 3G made web browsing and data-driven services useful on mobile devices, 4G led to the growth of streaming video and music platforms as bandwidths （宽带）increased, and 5G, similarly, will open more doors in terms of what is possible.

5G means that services relying on advanced technologies such as augmented （增强的）reality and virtual reality, as well as cloud-based gaming platforms like Google's Stadia, become a practical thing, anywhere at any time. They also threaten to make cable and fiber-based （光纤）networks redundant, with their need for us to be tied to a particular location.

In short, 5G and other advanced, high-speed networks make other new technologies available anywhere, any time. A great example is Norwegian fishery operator Salmar that uses a 5G network to automate the care and feeding of its fish. Image recognition algorithms （算法）are used to detect which fish are over or under-feeding, and automatically distribute food and medicine needed to keep them healthy. Initiatives like this will become increasingly important during 2021, where businesses look to increase automation across their workforces.

12. Which of the following is highly influenced by 5G technology?

A. Data-driven services. B. Streaming video.

C. Music platforms. D. Google's Stadia.

13. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "redundant"  in paragraph 3?

A. Useful. B. Unnecessary.                  C. Expensive. D. Special.

14. Why is "Salmar" mentioned in the text?

A. To show the development of Norwegian fishery.

B. To explain how to keep fish healthy.

C. To present the application of 5G technology.

D. To propose new initiatives for businesses.

15. What is the text mainly about?

A. Different predictions of technology trends.

B. Successive advances in mobile technology.

C. One of the technological highlights of the year.

D. The driving force in managing changes.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。

You probably learned many things by watching how-to videos on YouTube, but have you ever thought of making your own ones? You do not need to show it to anyone or put it on the Internet. 16     .   

Recording yourself, whether on video or audio, is an effective method of self-study. 17   When you record yourself it helps you identify what you are good at in English and which areas need improvement. How-to videos give you the chance to do several things at once. You will talk about a subject you already enjoy while giving step-by-step instructions, which gives you a chance to use a few grammatical forms. 18    .  

Now, let's go through the steps for preparing to make your video. First, choose a subject that will work well for a short video. Ideally, your subject will be something that is visually appealing and can be divided into steps. Is there a dish that you are great at making? Can you build or fix something? Do you have an artistic ability? 19   Even something as simple as how to fold a fitted sheet can be a great subject.

20   Make a list of the steps you think are important in making or doing the thing you have chosen. You might not know the English words for some of the things you are describing. Find and practice saying them.

The last step is to record your video. A great way to introduce it is to say your name and then say what you are going to show.

A. Any of these can be the subject of your video.

B. Then, it's time to prepare by gathering information.

C. How do videos show people how to do or make something?

D. We can learn to do something with the help of an Internet search.

E. This is especially true if you cannot find someone to practice speaking with.

F. Instead, the goal is to use the video to observe your own English speaking skills.

G. You will also get the chance to learn and use words related to your chosen subject.

Craig Foster was diving in bitterly cold waters off the southern Africa 36   he saw her - an octopus (章 鱼)hiding under a shelter of shells and stones. Deeply 37   (attract), he began following this incredibly shy creature, trying to prove he wasn't a predator (捕食者)by staying very still in her 38   (present). And then, after 26 days of crazy pursuing, she reached out and touched him.

“The octopus trusted me and allowed me 39   (step) into her secret world, showing me many behaviors 40   were completely new to science,"  Foster says.

Foster 41   (spend) the last ten years diving in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of South Africa. He began this daily diving as a way of dealing with a depression that had left him raw and disconnected. Immersing (沉浸) 42    (he) in this underwater world has calmed his mind. Over the past few years, other animals have reached out to make contact, including otters, whales, and even sharks, 43   nothing has compared to his "once — in — a — lifetime" bond with the octopus, he says.

Foster says the greatest lesson she taught him is that humans are part 44   the natural world around us, and not 45   (simple) visitors. "Your own role and place in the natural world is the most precious gift we have been given.”

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

As a mountain, 1,642-fbot Squaw Peak isn't particularly challenging. But its inviting views of western Massachusetts have tricked hikers to its steep （陡峭的）and slippery cliffs, resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.

Henry Grant, a freshman at Ithaca College, was well aware of the danger of Squaw Peak. Thus he stayed ten feet from the edge while waiting for his mother to catch up to him one day in August 2019, He watched 15 or so other hikers enjoy the scenery; one hiker, around 60 and dressed in pink, was admiring the view over the lip of the cliff with her husband.

When Grant's mother rejoined him, the two turned to continue on their way. Suddenly, he heard a thump （撞击声）,and another thump. Then he heard something frightening: "Paula! Paula!” a man yelled wildly. Grant turned around. The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen. She'd fallen off the side of the mountain.

Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was blocked by trees. Grant told his mother, "I hate to say this, but they're probably going to find a body." Uncertain they could help, Grant and his mother headed down the trail.

But when he saw hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. After assuring his mother that he would be safe, he made his way down the mountain alone, hoping he wasn't too late.

After 15 minutes of pushing past the brush and slipping down the trail, Grant spotted a figure about 25 feet above him. She was dressed in pink, in a kneeling position on a small rocky outcropping （突出处）.

The woman had fallen about 75, feet. Amazingly, she was alive. "Paula!” Grant shouted. "Paula! Is that you?” The woman barely responded. She was hurt and her mind was not so clear. Grant called 911 to report her location. He waited where he was for a bit, but she kept trying to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more.
