二、綜合測驗(克漏字)
       We live in a fame-saturated age, and we’ve known this for some time. What isstriking now is that there are so many stars, or “stars”, that the celebrity universereally does look like a large black blanket of sky, filled with thousands of __11__flickering dots. From actors to influencers to YouTubers to presidents and primeministers, we have all, as Andy Warhol said, still got 15 minutes of fame in us (or 15 seconds, if you’re using TikTok). And it sometimes feels as if these celebritiesare operating in separate galaxies. At the start of this year, one of the wilderrumors to emerge was that Kanye West, holed up in Wyoming, was cheating onKim Kardashian with Jeffree Star. For a good many people, their first reactionmay well have been: OK, Kanye, but who on earth is Jeffree Star? The answer is__12__. Star, for the uninitiated, is an androgynous YouTube makeup oracle whoboasts 16.7 million subscribers on his channel and 14 million Instagram followers.Whether you knew __13__ Star or not could indicate your age, sexuality, politics；or that you loved makeup. We live now in a world where somebody can havenearly 17 million subscribers on YouTube and __14__ people can have no cluewho they are.
        Likewise, there is a similar jolt when you discover that a song by OliviaRodrigo, Drivers License, has hit No 1 in the US, __15__ 100m streams in eightdays – a record. Rodrigo may be the star of a Disney+ show, but you __16__ hadlittle chance of seeing her coming. Rodrigo has the kind of fame that remainsinvisible to large swaths of the population – until something like Drivers Licensebubbles up and becomes __17__ all at once. What does it all mean? Well, firstly,yes: you’re probably getting old. But also, secondly, __18__ once the assumptionwould be that a celebrity would be so universally well-known that they could uniteus, today that assumption seems thoroughly naive. The main culprit for thisfragmentation is obvious: social media. In the late 19th century, it was scientists,writers and politicians who got the most column inches； __19__ the 1920s, theywere replaced by sportsmen and silent film writers. Studies show the primaryreason for that was radio and film – technology changed people’s focal point. Ahundred years later, the ginormous technological advances of the 21st centuryhave changed people’s focal point again – or rather __20__ that focal point,dispersing itself among hundreds and thousands of different faces on highlyindividualized channels.
