1 . Hello, everyone. Welcome to our school. Now let’s take a look at some interesting school publications (出版物).

Columbus

It is our literary (文学的) magazine; the name shows the place where we live. Editorial training includes developing skills for creative writing. Published twice yearly, many excellent students are also recognized as Scholastic Writing Awards winners.

Diversion

It is our language publication. Published once a year, it impresses readers with student works presented in Chinese, French, and Spanish. Working with advisors who teach these languages, student editors help in presenting their classmates’ work including poems, essays, short stories and art. Diversion is often used by our language teachers in the classroom as well.

The Bruner

It is Trinity’s yearbook. Serving the entire school, it is a yearly testament (证明) to the many aspects of Trinity life. Editorial positions are named in May, allowing editor s to attend a two-day summer meeting at NYU. This meeting allows students to develop their ability to get knowledge before the start of the school year. Work on the yearbook begins immediately thereafter, as students work to create an impressive K-12 publication.

3 . The Eastern Daily Press (EDP), a newspaper covering Nolfolk, northern parts of Suffolk and eastern Cambridge shire, is published daily in Norwich, UK. Founded in 1879 as a broadsheet called the Eastern Counties Daily Press, it changed its name to the Eastern Daily press in 1872. The paper is now owned and published by Archant, formerly known as Eastern Counties Newspapers Group.

Soon, a Google-backed project named Local Recall giving access to over 150 years of Eastern Daily Press newspaper at the click of a button or spoken question will be released. Archant is home to archive that holds tens of thousands of newspapers-with some Norwich Mercury editions dating from as far back as the middle of the 18th century. In 2017, Archant applied to the Google Digital News Innovation Fund to breathe new life into the archive. The company received ￡600,000 from Google and part-matched the fund to start Local Recall.

The project began in early 2018 and with help from Norwich-based artificial intelligence and chatbot company Ubisend along with specialist historical scanning companies Towns Web Archiving and Findmypast, Local Recall has since digitized an estimated 750,000 pages of EDP newspapers. In the process, more than seven million articles have been uploaded online. The digitization process, while impressive, could not always guarantee exact recreation of the text. Factors such as paper thickness, marks on the page and general wear and tear could make results confusing. It became clear there was a need for human eyes to pick out errors.

Meanwhile, a platform was provided for an army of more than 800 volunteers to help proofread and correct the stories from days gone by. Melanie Duncan, 47, from Helleson, got involved in the project after learning about it through Facebook. “It’s a window of memories into our past that we might have no knowledge of otherwise. The project is an invaluable source of accessible information. I have enjoyed every minute of doing it so far,” she said. Soon, users will be able to explore EDP archives from October 1870 right up to the latest news through a subscription service available on monthly and annual price plan.

4 . 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。

The Palace Museum in Beijing released its calendar for 2022 on September 6 although the Year of the Tiger is still more than four months away. “The calendar has become a new way for many people     1     (record) their life,” Chen Lihua, editor-in-chief of the calendar, says.

Though printed calendars seem to have lost     2     (they) functionality in the digital era, the museum s delicate calendar has become     3     item to collect. On each page of the new calendar, a tiger-themed cultural relic of the Palace Museum is introduced,     4     (range) from a jade ornament (翡翠) in the shape of a tiger dating back some 5,000 years     5     paintings created by modern Chinese masters such as Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian.

“The tiger is     6     stands for strength and energy in traditional Chinese culture.” Chen says, “We want to reflect tiger-related culture from various     7     (aspect).”

As the 2022 Winter Olympics     8     (schedule) to be held in China in February, a section of the calendar will introduce royal winter sports during the Qing Dynasty through art pieces.

Other than new design of pages, augmented (增广的)reality is now being used, making it     10     (access) for readers to have a better view of the moving pictures of cultural relics by scanning QR codes.

5 . The role of media historically has been central to the making of society and the construction of identity. It is vital in the search for information, stories and art to feed the human spirit and imagination to overcome the challenges ahead.

In an age of false news and misinformation, good quality content is more valuable than ever. History provides some context. In the UK the development of the liberal(自由的)media prior to the 1950s was characterized by a clear hierarchy(等级)when it came to the control of information. This model eventually gave way to a popular, audience-driven mass media in the 1980s, when the idea of the media as a source of popular pleasure took root.

Today, as more content is distributed via social platforms and the division between content creators and content consumers is unclear, technology companies — or “super competitors” — are taking greater responsibility for guaranteeing the quality and integrity of information. Perhaps as a reaction to this and with an odd nod to pre-1950s paternalism(家长式管理), there is a rising call for governments and regulators to take a more active role in the production and spreading of news to ensure equitable access to information.

Access to or quality of content is better than ever. But while destination media compete to become leaders in their specific areas, the tech giants are working out how to use media to dominate time, spend and data. What will be the impact of the strategies of the tech giants on the overall media landscape? The poet and novelist, Ben Okri, writes, “It may well be that it is not only science that saves us. We may also be saved by laughter, by the optimism of being able to see beyond these times, with stories, with community, with songs.”

In the absence of real contact, interaction and the consumption of experience is now mostly mediated(调解). The value and integrity of media has never been more relevant and significant.

2. What is the major problem media today are facing?

A．Media are losing their roles in shaping society.

3. What does Ben Okri intend to tell us?

A．Our life lacks passion.	B．People need proper media content.
