In the past several years, the use f scial media has grwn in a way that n ne culd have guessed. It has turned sme teenagers int celebrities and turned the famus int the infamus vernight.
A key feature f scial media, hwever, is its vlatility. Trends cme and g, disappearing almst as quickly as they appeared. S, what were the key scial media trends f 2024?
Shrt vide apps such as TikTk and its Chinese equivalent (等同物) Duyin, tk the wrld by strm. The Telegraph reprted that TikTk was ranked 8th n Apple’s App Stre in April. And Duyin had mre than 300 millin dmestic (国内的) mnthly active users in June at hme, CNBC said.
Why are these shrt vides—which are rarely lnger than a few minutes—s ppular? Jiang Yige, Singapre-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a thery. “Shrt vides are just right t fill in the little gaps in ur busy schedules.” he tld CNBC． These vides—apart frm being very cnvenient are imprtant t teenagers because
they allw them t express themselves, accrding t Teen Vgue. Liza Kshy, a user f the
U.S. app Musically wh has ver 2 millin fllwers, said, “The sense f cmmunity that users f shrt vide apps get is anther appealing feature.”
Live streaming is a feature f ur scial media life that nw seems as natural as sunrise. It’s a pretty neat idea: Yu can watch anyne r anywhere live. Hwever, China has taken live streaming t a whle new level. In China. mre than 100 millin viewers mnthly watch a live streaming vide. Frbes thught that a number f factrs had led t the ppularity f live streams. Amng them is viewers’ ability t interact with unknwn names.
Hwever, the quick develpment f scial media may be having side effects t.
Fake news is ne serius prblem it causes. Materials shared n these platfrms are ften nt checked fr accuracy. The mst basic cntent can be false and can mislead users ne way r anther. We use scial media all the time; that desn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having n us. We shuld be mindful f bth the time we spend n it and its impact n ur minds.
What des the underlined wrd “vlatility” in paragraph 2 pssibly mean?
Being changeable.B. Being famus.
C. Being prmising.D. Being ppular.
Accrding t Liza Kshy, why are shrt vides very ppular?
They are very cheap.
They help peple kill time.
They prvide a sense f cmmunity.
They allw peple t express themselves.
What d we knw abut scial media?
The infrmatin frm scial media is ttally reliable.
There is still much rm fr scial media t make imprvement.
Peple can’t cmmunicate with each ther withut scial media.
When it cmes t scial media, peple nly knw shrt vides.
What is the authr’s attitude t the quick develpment f scial media?
A. Objective.B. Subjective.C. Supprtive.D. Negative.
D
One f the cean’s nisiest creatures is smaller than yu’d expect — snapping shrimp (鼓虾). They create a widespread backgrund nise in the underwater envirnment, which helps them cmmunicate, prtect their hmes and hunt fr fd. When enugh shrimp snap (发出噼啪声) at nce, the nise can be deafening.
Aran Mney, a bilgist at Wds Hle Oceangraphic Institutin, suggested that
with increased cean temperatures, snapping shrimp will snap mre ften and luder than befre. This culd raise the backgrund nise f the glbal cean. “They make a sund by clsing a claw s fast. This makes a bubble (泡泡) and when that bubble bursts, it makes that snapping sund,” said Mney.
Mney discvered a strng relatinship between warmer waters and mre frequent snapping shrimp sunds after experimenting with the shrimp in tanks in the lab and by listening t the shrimp in the cean at varius water temperatures. “As the temperature rises, the snap rate increases,” he said. This makes sense because shrimp are essentially cld-blded animals, meaning their bdy temperature and activity levels are largely cntrlled by their living envirnment. “We can actually shw in the field that nt nly d snap rates increase, but the sund levels increase as well.”
Hw the luder snapping shrimp wuld affect r benefit the surrundings remained t be seen. “We knw that fish use sund t cmmunicate,” Mney said. “If the envirnment gets nisy, it has the pssibility t influence that cmmunicatin. That’s smething we have
t fllw up n.” There is als the pssibility that the change f snapping shrimp affects machines humans use t discver mines, which culd lead t unpleasant results.
What can we knw abut the snapping shrimp’s sund?
It aims t prtect the shrimp.
It is imprtant t the ecsystem.
It has different uses fr the shrimp.
It is hard t be discvered by ther creatures.
Hw des Mney d the experiment?
By recrding the snap rates in the lab.
By analyzing the way shrimp make nise.
By bserving snapping shrimp in the field.
By cmparing shrimp’s sund in different places.
What might Mney research next?
Other uses f shrimp’s sund.
Influences f the nise n ther creatures.
Means f cmmunicatin amng fish.
Methds f stpping shrimp’s snapping.
Which f the fllwing culd be the best title fr the text?
Underwater Wrld Is N Lnger Quiet
Small Animals Make a Big Difference
Warming Oceans Are Getting Luder
Snapping Shrimp’s Nise Speaks Much

M: Hi, I’m Chris frm Flrida. Last year, I mved t Lndn, where I’m wrking fr an American cmpany. It’s been a big change, and there have been lts f things t get used t. Fr example, in the U.S. we drive n the right, while here in Britain I’ve had t get used t driving n the left.
What else? Well, the weather in Flrida is usually great, s I’m used t lts f sunshine, and I used t sunbathe a lt. In Lndn it rains s much. I dn’t think I’ll ever get used t it, and I always remember t take my umbrella with me.
Fd in England is different, t. In America, I used t eat a lt f Mexican fd. Here in England, peple lve Indian fd, s I’m getting used t the different tastes. At the cmpany where I wrk, it’s quite different. I used t wrk frm 9 a.m. till 11 p.m. I hated wrking s late. Here in England, I start at 8:30 a.m., but finish at 5 p.m. On Friday evening English peple like t g t the club with friends, but in America I used t g t the gym. I lve sprts.
Is there anything else? Sme f the wrds are different. The subway is called the “undergrund” in Lndn, and British peple call the fall “autumn”.
