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 （网络摄像机）.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.
4. 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.

A. Unusual. B. Future. C. Hot. D. Social.
6. 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.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Online Video: The New King of Media

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 (手工艺品) 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 (复制品) via crowd sourced 2D 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
