• 2．As online technology advanced，web sites，podcasts，and blogs became powerful sources of information that allowed everyone to stay updated on any subject imaginable.Although all of these information sources remain popular，there's a new king of media and it's online video.
     There are many reasons why online video has increased suddenly over the past few years.The first is increasing data speeds.It wasn't until recently that people everywhere had fast enough online connections to enjoy high-definition （高清）videos.However，once faster Internet speeds were provided，people quickly fell in love with online videos.The second reason why online videos have become so popular is convenience.Watching videos requires less effort and energy than reading through paragraphs of text after a day of hard work.Videos also seem to provide more satisfaction，as people prefer to connect with people they can hear and see，as against the words of some author whom they know little about.
     Advancing digital technology has also helped，as it has made sharing videos easier and more convenient than ever.High-powered smartphones and more affordable video cameras allow anyone to easily record an event or give a few comments about a scorching topic that is on their mind.Meanwhile，sites like YouTube，Vimeo，and Ustream allow users to quickly upload their videos and share them with friends，family，and the general public if they wish.
     Last but not least，advertising.Companies have made it easy for people to get rewarded for creating popular videos.Some people with large enough fan bases can even make a very wealthy living by uploading a few videos every week.
     The future also looks bright for companies who post online video ads.In fact，new software allows them to watch viewers' emotional reactions to their content through the users' webcams（網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像機）.They'll be able to see whether users laugh，cry，or feel bored during videos，so they can adjust their ads.This should prove extremely helpful，as there will be millions of videos competing for viewers' attention.
  
  （1）Why do some people prefer watching videos to reading after work？

  
  A．It helps them review the news.
  B．It helps them get information with relative ease.
  C．It provides them more information.
  D．It helps them save time.
  （2）What does the underlined word "scorching" in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Unusual.
  B．Future.
  C．Hot.
  D．Social.
  （3）How will the software mentioned in the last paragraph help companies in the future？

  
  A．It will enable them to better understand what customers enjoy.
  B．It will let more viewers see the advertisements they make.
  C．It will cause viewers to create more popular videos.
  D．It will make people like their videos.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Online Video：The New King of Media
  B．Online Technology is Developing Fast
  C．Online Video：A New Advertising Trend
  D．Online Technology is Closely Related to People

• 3．Wherever we go，we are surrounded by history.Across the globe，cultural heritage is passed down through the generations.It is in the buildings and structures around us.It is in the arts and artifacts（手工藝品）we treasure.It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell.But today，it is under attack as never before.Not only are the damages of time threatening our cultural heritage，but conflicts，climate change，globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price.Technology is now the most essential weapon in the battle.Here's how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.
     As you can imagine，creating the replicas（復(fù)制品） via crowd sourced 2 D images is extremely time-consuming.Increasingly，artificial intelligence （AI）algorithms（算法）are being used to do all the required sourcing，allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours.AI will also make restoration and preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and vastly superior to previous methods.
     Virtual reality（VR）technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years.Many of the most important sites and architecture are extremely fragile.Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm.Wastes accumulate everywhere，causing enormous problems.As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded，VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them.We'll all eventually be able to walk through places，look at （and touch!） artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
     Finally，our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology.Efforts in research，innovation，data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "exacting" in paragraph 1 mean？

  
  A．Paying.
  B．Cutting.
  C．Receiving.
  D．Demanding.
  （2）What is the advantage of AI in preserving cultural heritage？

  
  A．It generates 2 D images.
  B．It makes restoration easier.
  C．It makes preservation safer.
  D．It creates replicas in seconds.
  （3）How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage？

  
  A．By recycling huge amounts of waste.
  B．By reducing human impact on the site.
  C．By forbidding visitors from touching artifacts.
  D．By educating people about the sites' importance.
  （4）What is the author's attitude to technology application in preserving the cultural heritage？

  
  A．Ignoring.
  B．Compromising.
  C．Approving.
  D．Disagreeing.

• 5．How can teenagers keep themselves from suffering from loneliness？Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.
     （1）

  A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria（餐廳）won't make you best friends.But it will make you both feel good.It also can make it easier to interact the next time，and the time after that.
     Find a safe place to make connections.If going to the dancing party makes you feel like you just don't belong，try joining a special-interest group. （2）

  Just because you feel left out in one group doesn't mean you'll feel like an outsider in every other one.Look for a group that allows you to feel comfortable gradually.
     Find other ways of making connections.Lonely people hunger for friendship.Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others rather than waiting for them to make you feel better. （3）

  Help a child in reading.Take notes for a disabled classmate.You might be surprised at the connections you make.
     （4）

  Loneliness is an absence of quality friendship，not of a particular quantity of friends.That's why it's important to know how to select a friend.
     You get what you expect，so expect the best.If you expect others to be friendly，you will behave in proper ways that encourage people to be friendlier to you. （5）

  But starting the first step of positive expectations can make all the difference.
  
  A.Choose the right people.
  B.Loneliness won't last long.
  C.So consider becoming a volunteer.
  D.Reach out to others but start small.
  E.It can be hard work to be positive toward others.
  F.Maybe it's the drama club or the marching band.
  G.This harmful attitude can continue into adulthood.

      Of all the people in Lily's life，one in particular stands out.As Lily thinks of Shanda，a smile spreads across her face.She feels loved and grateful more than ever that she has such a teacher and friend.Thanks to Shanda's presence，Lily has become a good dancer now.
      Eleven years of dance and going on twelve that year，she thought it would end up like any other year.She would never win any prize in the dance contest.She might be stuck in any empty spot and didn't know what to do with her next dance move.But little did she know that year would change her completely.
      That year，Lily felt lucky that Shanda would choreograph （編舞） for her dance.Lily expected to work with Shanda，a young talented dancer，to have an okay dance，but she never expected she would have such an impressive influence on her way to dance.
      The moment Lily walked into the marble floored，wall-to-wall mirrored rooms，she already felt like Shanda had faith in her.Shanda smiled at her with appreciative eyes.In the following days，Shanda always encouraged her， "Work to the best of your ability and keep going." When she wanted to give up，Shanda told her that the real importance of dance was to love it.
      Through their hard work and devotion，not only did Lily's ability to dance grow，but also their friendship grew.Shanda became more than a teacher to Lily.She was also a close friend that Lily could turn to for anything.Shanda gave her encouragement and was always there to cheer Lily up when she felt down.
      As the year quickly came to an end，it was high time for Lily to show her dance to the audience.As she walked to the backstage filled with other dancers warming up and expecting their performance，she prayed for a good performance that would convey her improvement.The rhythmic music before her rang in her cars.She waited anxiously for her turn.Finally，after what seemed like days，the hostess announced "Lily".
  注意：
  （1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為100左右；
  （2）請按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。
      Lily was as nervous as having a lot of butterflies in her stomach as she stepped onto the big stage.___________
