观点态度类 [2022山东省实验中学第二次诊断考试]A 语篇类型：记叙文 主题语境：人与自我 In August 2020, Kate Wilson, a 16-year-old from Shrewsbury, posted on the social media video platform TikTok a series of sentences from books she had read. Set to a piece of soft music, the short video is played out as Kate holds up copies of the books. “You have been the last dream of my soul.” from A Tale of Two Cities.“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” from Wuthering Heights.

Publishers are watching with interest. Publisher Horrox says, “There’s something about the fact that it is under a minute. People who are consuming this content watch a 32-second video and someone’s comment: ‘This book has romance, and it’s really heartbreaking. Thankfully, it’s only fiction.’ And then the viewers think: ‘Oh, OK, those are all things that I’m interested in. I’ll go and buy it.’” By December 2020, Kate had been being contacted regularly by publishers, who had realized that TikTok “did sell books”. Jenny is 22, and says, “I thought TikTok was ridiculous last year before the first lockdown. I did think it was just for 14-year-olds, but BookTok is such a lovely community. There are people who like the same books as me, and I can talk about the books that I like. It just seems a little bit magical.” 1. Why does the author mention the story of Kate Wilson?( ) A.
