24、Back in April, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, took over Twitter for a cool $44 billion. That’s a lot of money, even for a billionaire. However, its appeal isn’t obvious. It has around 436 million users every month, which isn’t nothing—but is still a long way behind Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. It also makes a relatively low profit. Then why would Musk make the purchase?

The answer might be what makes Titter so interesting: what it lacks in profits, size or growth potential, it makes up for in some way. It has an unmatched ability to shape the culture we live in. Twitter’s cultural power is easy to see. Click on any news article, and there’s a good chance that it’s quoting what someone said on Twitter.

What makes the platform significant is its users. Twitter is a bar full of rich people, whereas Facebook is just like the McDonald’s across the street. What Twitter is good at is acting as a global watercooler—a channel for small talk, jokes and informal connections. Because the people hanging out on Twitter are types of great importance and influence, what happens on it can actually affect the rest of the world.

However, its ability to influence the real world has strange results too. What happens on Twitter sometimes can only be known, understood, or appreciated by a relatively small number of people and bear little relation to the “real” world. Recent politics gives us a good example: during a recent debate, the BBC spent ten minutes talking about mean tweets about the candidates’ clothes instead of anything that actually matters.

But in any case, it’s a powerful example of Twitter’s cultural power. This explains why Musk might pay big money for it. Because even if it doesn’t make business sense, if you own Twitter you have a voice in the world’s most important watercooler conversation.

【1】What made Musk want to buy Twitter?

A．Twitter’s business potential.

B．Twitter’s high profits.

C．Twitter’s numerous users.

D．Twitter’s cultural significance.

【2】Why can Twitter influence the world?

A．It gains a big advantage over Facebook.

B．It has important and influential users.

C．It keeps people informed of the latest news.

D．It responds to what happens in the world quickly.

【3】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．The weaknesses of Twitter

B．The threats to Titer’s survival.

C．The contents on the platform.

D．The complaints against social media.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Who is in charge of Titter?

B．What is Twitter?

C．Why is Twitter so important?

D．How is Twitter promoted?

25、   If you’ve ridden any New York subway, chances are good that you’ve watched your cellphone clock tick while seated on an unmoving, delayed train. You wouldn’t wish to have such a _________ feeling of being stuck on public transportation anymore. No one knows the feeling as _________ as Jerich Marco Alcantara does particularly when he had _________ in his life to celebrate. He _________ his graduation ceremony at Hunter College’s Brookdale campus due to a delay.

There were two _________ ceremonies that day, but Alcantara specifically wanted to _________ the early ceremony, because students were only _________ two tickets for friends and family at the latter event. He wanted all of his family and friends in attendance.

Stuck on the train in full baccalaureate gown (学士服), Alcantara still got to experience a formal _________, sort of. Some friends and strangers improvised (即兴创作) a ceremony on the subway. _________ a cellphone, a friend presented Alcantara with a “diploma”; __________ somebody else on the train played Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day. Another passenger __________ the ceremony and posted the video to Facebook.

________ he wasn’t able to attend the full ceremony, in a way this will end up being a more memorable __________ for Alcantara down the road. He will be able to point to his __________ and not just think of the hard work it took to earn it, but the __________ missing his real graduation ceremony created.

Moments like these help us get a little more __________ of our fellow man during a __________time. Although these aren’t all strangers, it’s still wonderful to see people __________ to make sure someone feels the proper __________, or at least their big achievement should be __________.
