At the supermarket she wanders around in a selfcontained bubble, thanks to her iPod digital music player. Through those little white earbuds, Wolfisch Cole listens to a playlist mixed by her favorite disc presenter herself.At home, when the kids are asleep, Wolfisch Cole often escapes to another solo media pod but in this one, shes transmitting instead of just receiving. On her computer weblog, or “blog”， she types an online journal chronicling (按事件发生顺序记载) daily news of her life, then shares it all with the Web.Wolfisch Cole who also gets her daily news customized off the Internet and whose digital video recorder (DVR) scans through the television wasteland to find and record shows to her taste is part of a new type of people who are selecting, shaping and even creating media for themselves. They are increasingly turning their backs on the established system of the mass media that has provided news and entertainment for the past half century. Theyve joined the exploding “IMedia” revolution, putting the power of media in the hands of ordinary people.The tools of the movement consist of iPods, blogs, podcasts, DVRs, customized online newspapers, and satellite radio.People who are very enthusiastic about IMedia range from the 89yearold New York grandmother, known as Bubby, who has taken up blogging to share her worldly advice, to 11yearold Dylan Verdi of Texas, who has started broadcasting her own homemade TV show or “vlog”， for “video blog”. In between are countless IMedia enthusiasts like Rogier van Bakel, 44, of Maine, who blogs at night, reads a Webcustomized news page in the morning, travels with his fully loaded iPod and comes home to watch whatever the DVR has chosen for him.“If the old media model was broadcasting, this new phenomenon might be called egocasting，” says Christine Rosen, a fellow with the Ethics and Public Policy Center. The term fits, she says, because the trend is all about mememedia. “The idea is to get exactly what you want, when and where you want it.”Rosen and others believe the beginnings of the IMedia revolution originate in the invention of the TV remote control, which marked the first subtle shift of media control away from broadcasters and into the hands of the average couch potato. It enabled viewers to vote with their thumbs, making it easier to abandon dull programs and avoid commercials. With the proliferation (激增) of cable TV channels in the late 1980s followed by the mid1990s arrival of the Internet, controlling media input wasnt just a luxury. “Control has become a necessity，” says Bill Rose. “Without it, theres no way to sort through all the options that are becoming available.”(1)_of IMediaThe old: like BubbyBubbys started to keep blogs giving suggestions (2)_ on her life experiences.The middleaged: like Terry Wolfisch Cole and Rogier van BakelWhile going shopping Wolfisch Cole listens to a playlist mixed by herself.At home, Wolfisch Cole becomes a (3)_， rather than a receiver, of information, editing and sharing news of her life online; she also uses her DVR to search for and record shows that (4)_ her needs.Bakel arranges his life to his taste, reading personalized web page with news in the morning, keeping blogs at night, traveling with his iPods and watching DVR programs.The young: like Dylan VerdiVerdi tends to share with others the TV shows or videos made (5)_ online.(6)_of IMediaUnlike the mass media, which provide resources directly, IMedia can help individuals (7)_ things they prefer through iPods, blogs, podcasts, DVRs, etc.The IMedia model might be called egocasting, which (8)_ getting exactly what you want, when and where you want it.IMedia enables the ordinary people to take charge of the media.Developmentof IMediaThe IMedia revolution (9)_ back to the invention of the TV remote, which signaled the change of media control and began to enable viewers to choose programs.Relying on cable TV channels and the Internet, it has become necessary to control media input, which can guarantee the sorting through all the (10)_ options.答案：1.Enthusiasts/Lovers2.based3.transmitter/giver4satisfy/meet5.personally6.Features/Characteristics7customize/make/compile/present8.means9dates/traces10.available.书面表达(2019南通、扬州、泰州、淮安调研)下面这幅图展现了我国大学热门专业的变迁。请根据你对这幅图的理解用英语写一篇短文。Popular University Majors in China写作内容1简要描述上图中热门专业的变迁(30词左右)；2分析变迁的原因(12个)；3介绍你未来的专业选择并说明原因(12个)。写作要求1可参照图片中文字及下面文章开头所给提示作必要发挥；2词数150左右。开头部分已写好，不计入总词数；3作文中不得提及考生所在学校和本人姓名。Over the past 30 years, China has witnessed great changes in popular university majors. 参考范文：Over the past 30 years, China has witnessed great changes in popular university majors.
