【题目】 Centuries ago, influencing people on a large scale (规模) wasn’t easy for ordinary people. Word of mouth was really the only way to pass on information. Books had to be hand-copied, which took a lot of time and was expensive. When the printing press arrived, many more people could get reading materials. Go back to the present age of the, Internet and social media, anyone’s voice can be heard, and anyone’s face can be seen within seconds worldwide.

If you want to expand your incidence, online videos might be the answer. The online videos are very popular nowadays. Here are the facts: 432, 000 hours of videos are uploaded daily to YouTube. Sitting through all of them would take you 50 years! Also, the number of people watching YouTube has increased by 40 percent every year since 2014. It is said that by 2019, video traffic will be 80 percent of all Internet traffic.

In short, if you’re the kind of person that likes leaving your mark, consider becoming a YouTuber. YouTubers are people who often produce and appear in online videos. Perhaps you have thought that creating and posting videos online isn’t real work. Think again. Weng-ie, a Chinese-born Australian vlogger (博主) has more than 9 million followers. She struggles to be a success. It’s bridging that gap between making videos in your bedroom and actually building a media business.

Companies have offered her paid vacations so she could post photos online. She has to refuse several offers because she is too busy making videos.

Don’t feel like you have to be the next YouTube star in order to get started. Start small. Be patient. Have fun. A lot can be done with just your smart phone, your good idea and, most importantly you. What’s stopping you from using videos to influence the online world?

【题目】阅读下面短文.在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Last week, there was a "Celebrate Vietnam” show hosted at my residence. What 1(amaze) me was the performance of Chinese Society Orchestra in the National University of Singapore (NUS) during the show.

To be honest, I did not expect the organizers who are almost all Vietnamese to invite arts groups from other cultures, 2 it was really great to enjoy the performances from different cultures at once. Living more than 3,000 kilometers away from home, it was really rare to have the opportunity 3 (listen) to traditional Chinese performances.

Luckily, NUS Chinese Society organizes some events with Chinese elements from time to time. Every time I attend their events, there are bouts (发作)of homesickness. I've also noticed that there are some people from non — Chinese background 4 (attend) the events. I feel proud that our Chinese culture attracts many people from different cultures. The performance was very 5 (impress). The audience gave 6 big round of applause at the end, and I could tell that they really enjoyed it.

After their performance, I spoke with some of the 7 (music). University students usually have a heavy academic workload, but they still spent much time practising their instruments. I asked them 8 they decided to do so, and they told me it was 9 main due to their personal interest. It reminded me of the importance of passion and interest and their role as strong motivators. If I have free time next term, I 10 consider joining them as well.

【题目】 Ants know when an earthquake is about to strike, researchers have discovered. Their behavior changes significantly prior to the quake and they resume normal functioning only a day after it. Gabriele Berberich of the University Duisburg-Essen in Germany presented these findings on Thursday at the European Geosciences Union annual meeting in Vienna according to LiveScience.

Berberich and her colleagues discovered that red wood ants preferred to build their colonies right along active faults in Germany. They counted 15,000 mounds (土堆)lining the faults. These faults are the places where the earth violently bursts in earthquakes.

Using a special camera that tracked changes in activity. Berberich and her colleagues tracked the ants round the clock for three years, 2016 to 2019. They found that the ants' behavior changed only when the quake was over magnitude (级数)2. There were 10 earthquakes between magnitude 2.0 and 3.2 during this period, and many smaller ones. Humans can also sense quakes of over magnitude 2 only.

According to Berberich, normal ant activity consists of going about collecting food etc,during the day and resting in the night But before an earthquake, the ants didn't go back to their mound in the night and moved around outside it. This strange and abnormal behavior continued till a day after the earthquake, Berberich told a news conference, according to Livescience.

How do ants know an earthquake is coming? Berberich suggested that they could either be picking up changing gas emissions or noting tiny changes in the Earth's magnetic fields (磁场). "Red wood ants have special cells which can detect changes in carbon dioxide levels. They also have special cells for detecting electromagnetic fields." she said. Berberich and her colleagues are planning to continue the research in areas where there are more and bigger earthquakes
