and dad agreed. During the first few weeks, Jason spent a lot of time in front of his computer because he had to
learn how it worked. He was really interested in learning all about it and he even started writing computer programs
himself.
One day Jason found a website where he could play chess either against the computer or against other people
from all over the world. From then on, Jason seemed to have just one interest in life, his computer. Whenever his
parents told him that he was spending too much time with his computer, Jason went into denial. He did not think
that he had a problem at all.
Then the unthinkable happened：Jason's computer broke down. But his parents decided not to buy him a new
one. Jason said that he needed a computer for schoolwork, and he promised that he'd spend less time on it. But his
parents refused to give in. Finally, Jason felt so hopeless that he took the only way out and killed himself.
Robert Johnson, a psychologist (心理学家) on the subject, says, “Computer addiction is an illness that can
influence anyone of us. Nowadays, increasing numbers of people are spending more and more time working with
computers. While this isn't a problem for most users, some people, especially teenagers, often use the computer to
get away from the real world. This is especially true for shy people. For them, meeting people online is a way for
hiding their true selves. In cyberspace, they can be whoever they want to be and create their own virtual (虚拟的)
world. But what happens when they can no longer enter their virtual world？”
1．Why did Jason want to buy a computer according to paragraph 1?
A．To play chess.
B．To make friends.
C．To avoid being an outsider.
D．To write computer programs.
2．What does the underlined sentence “Jason went into denial” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．It means that Jason would not listen.
B．It means that Jason enjoyed himself.
C．It means that Jason would turn it off.
D．It means that Jason changed his mind.
3．What was Jason's relationship with his parents like when his computer broke down?
A．Fine. B．Soso.
C．Terrible. D．Unknown.
4．What would Robert Johnson agree?
A．It is impossible to beat computer addiction.
B．Shy people get addicted to computers easily.
C．Teenagers should stay away from computers.
D．Computers are getting us into serious trouble.

更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Researchers from the University of Oxford did a study on 12，000 UK adolescents (少年), and found that
family, friends and school life all had a greater effect on their wellbeing (健康) than social media.
The study looked into whether teenagers who use social media more have lower life satisfaction, or whether
teenagers with lower life satisfaction use more social media. Past research on the relationship between screens，
technology and children's health has often been contradictory (矛盾的). Andrew Przybylski and Amy Orben, from
the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford, said it was often based on limited evidence which does
not give the full picture.
Their study concluded that most links between life satisfaction and social media use were “trivial” ，
accounting for (占) less than 1% of a teenager's wellbeing. Prof Przybylski, director of research at the institute,
said, “99.75% of a person's life satisfaction has nothing to do with their use of social media.” The study, which took
place between 2009 and 2017, asked thousands of 10to 15yearolds to say how much time they spent using social
media on a normal school day and also rate (评定) how satisfied they were with different aspects of life. They
found greater effect of time spent on social media in girls, but it was still tiny.
Przybylski added：“Parents shouldn't worry about time on social media.We are too focused on time but we
need to get rid of this notion (观念) of screen time. The results are not showing evidence for great concern.”
However, Dr Max Davie, officer for health improvement at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health,
said, “We suggest that families continue to avoid children's screen use for one hour before bed, since they need a
good night's sleep.”
5．What did the researchers try to find out?
A．How strongly social media influences teenagers happiness.
B．Why today's teenagers are so dependent on social media.
C．How much time teenagers spend using social media.
D．What makes teenagers satisfied with their lives.
6．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The new study. B．Social media.
C．The past research. D．Life satisfaction.
7．Which of the following statements would Dr Max Davie agree with?
A．Sleep influences teenagers happiness most.
B．Parents need to pay attention to their kids' online time.
C．Social media use has no influence on teenagers life.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂D．Teenagers daily life is badly affected by screen time.
8．What is the text mainly about?
A．The relationship between social media and children's health.
B．The importance of reducing teenagers screen use.
C．The measure to reduce risks from social media.
D．The tiny influence of social media on teenagers.

Earlier this year I removed all Internet services from my home, which was very upsetting at first, but I have
lived that way. 1
I was not satisfied with the time I was wasting — I felt I could do more meaningful things than spend it on the
Internet. If there is something I want to research on the Internet, I write it down and use that list when I have
Internet access. 2 I'll go to the office, the library, the coffee shop, or some other place with free public WiFi,
and work on what I need to do online.
3 I log on (登录) to watch some YouTube videos or laugh at funny pictures, because I go on the Internet
with the purpose of doing these things. Whenever I'm on the Internet now, I use it in a deliberate (深思熟虑的)
way, a way that benefits me and my life, and a way that adds value.
4 I could focus on writing without being disturbed. I have more time to read, to write, to think, to exercise
and to walk. Because I'm out of the house and there are people around, I meet new people.Besides, I have more
time for friends and I feel less stressed and my thoughts are clearer. My mind is more focused on important things.
5 Also, I no longer long for the Internet like I once did.
It will be upsetting at first, but you will live, and your life will be better without it.
A．I don't have a monthly Internet bill.
B．Now the Internet is a tool I use to improve my life.
C．Now I'm forced to leave the house to get the Internet.
D．This doesn't mean I think the Internet is bad or wrong.
E．Since I got rid of the Internet at home, I've found so many benefits.
F．Here are some of my tips to use the Internet in a more productive way.
G．It ended up being the most productive and wisest decision I've ever made.

（2022·全国·高考真题）Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public
service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are
behind the wheel.
Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while
driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now
rising sharply.
That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, said distracted（分心）driving was "only increasing, unfortunately."
"Big change requires big ideas." he said in a speech last month, referring broadly to the need to improve road
safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to
an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would
work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the
Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver
had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.
"We need something on the books that can change people's behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for
the state's 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, "people are going
to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone."
1．Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US?
A．Ineffective. B．Unnecessary.
C．Inconsistent. D．Unfair.
2．What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out?
A．Where a driver came from. B．Whether a driver used their phone.
C．How fast a driver was going. D．When a driver arrived at the scene.
3．What does the underlined word "something" in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Advice. B．Data. C．Tests. D．Laws.

（2021·天津·高考真题）In the fictional worlds of film and TV, artificial intelligence （Al） has been
described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans. But what if we're actually getting closer to a
world where Al is capable of thinking and feeling?
Tech company UneeQ is heading for its "digital humans", which appear life like on the screen not only in
terms of language, but also because of facial movements: raised eyebrows, a smile, even a nod. They look close to a
human, but not quite.
What lies beneath UneeQ9 s digital humans? Their 3D faces are modeled on actual human features. Speech
recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying, and natural language processing is used to work
out a response. Meanwhile, another Al company, Soul Machines, is taking a more biological approach, with a
"digital brain", that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions "felt" and "expressed" by its "digital
people".
Shiwali Mohan, an Al scientist at the Palo Research Center, is skeptical of these digital beings. "They're
humanlike in their looks and the way they sound, but that in itself is not being human," she says. "Human qualities
also involve how you think, how you approach problems, and how you break them down; and that takes a lot of
algorithmic (算 法)design. Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that
behave like humans." She then continues, “If something looks like a human, we have high expectations of them,
but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively (直觉地)know how other humans react.
Yet the demand is there, with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial, health
care, and commercial sectors （行业）. "Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient
digitally, they might be left behind," says Chetan Dube, UneeQ9s CEO.
Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further, enabling organizations and individuals to
create digital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide. "The biggest motivation for such
platforms is to popularize Al," Dube says.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Mohan is cautious about this approach, yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is
optimistic about where they are headed. "As we develop more advanced Al technology, we would then have to use
new ways of communicating with that technology,she says. "'Hopefully, all of that is designed to support humans in
their goals."
5．According to Para. 2, in what respect（s） do UneeQ9s "digital humans" resemble human beings?
A．In the way they move around.
B．In the way they act and react.
C．In observation and analysis.
D．In speech and facial expressions.
6．Soul Machines’digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it .
A．leams to make proper emotional responses
B．tends to imitate human beings' tone vividly
C．recognizes the speech sounds it receives
D．processes the natural language it hears
7．In Mohan's opinion, what human quality is lacking in digital beings?
A．Calculating brain.
B．Language skills.
C．Instinctive judgements.
D．Problem-solving ability.
8．What makes many sectors employ digital humans?
A．The fear of falling behind in efficiency.
B．The urgency to promote e-commerce.
C．The wish to spread digital technology.
D．The need to upgrade the health care system.
9．What does Mohan think of the future of digital beings?
A．It's well planned.
B．It is promising.
C．It is uncertain.
D．It's quite hopeless.
