Last week, the Los Angeles Unified School District became the largest in US to
approve(批准) a districtwide cellphone ban. For teachers, this is great news. For many kids,
it’s less welcome. Parents, meanwhile, are conflicted, caught between wanting their children
to learn without distraction(分心) and worried about the loss of the constant and easy
communicationto which they’vegrown used.
Smartphones undoubtedly hold back students’attention to solving for x or close reading
a Shakespearean poem.A 2023 study by Common Sense Media revealed that teens check
their phones more than 100 times a day on average. On top of the hundreds of notifications
lighting up screens and interrupting class lectures, teens now spend 4.8hours onsocial media
each day. The relationship between screen exposure(使用屏幕) and mental well-being
remains unclear,but somestudies suggest thereis cause for concern.
Yet many parents remain careful of banning phones during the school day. They are
afraid that doing so would cut communication between them and their children — not only
when theywant to organize pickups ordrop-offsbut also in theevent ofan emergency.
Schools have managed to function without smartphones for centuries. For concerned
parents, equipping their children with traditional cellphones, these days dubbed
“dumbphones,” might be the best option; schools might consider whether selective(选择性
的) phone bans that permit such devices could work. Or parents could get even more
old-fashioned and simplycall theirschool’s officewhen necessary.
The next question for schools is how to ban cellphones.Apopular option is requiring the
use of magnetic(有磁性的) bags that lock in the morning and unlock when the final bell
rings, orin theevent ofan emergency.
When smartphone bans are done right, they can make a big difference. At Bethlehem
Central High School near Albany, N.Y., for example, academic progress has improved since
applying a ban last fall. Students are less distracted and more tuned into learning. Parents
haveeven said they’re surprised at thesuccess ofthenewly phone-free school.
24. Whatdoestheunderlinedword“conflicted”inparagraph1mean?
A.Not knowing what to do. B.Very happy withsth.
C.Notgood at somethings. D.Worried about sth.
25. Whatdoesparagraph2mainlytalkabout?
A. Howto learn Shakespeare’s plays andpoems inschool.
B. Screen exposuredoes makepeople mentally unhealthy.
C. Heavy usage ofsmartphones seriously affect students.
D. Students in USAlovephones morethan ones in China.
26. What schools can doforconcerned parents?
A.Ban the parents’own smartphones.
B.Selectively ban somestudents’phones.

Profits at Netflix have increased as the world's largest streaming(在线播放) service
addedmillions ofsubscribers(订户).
The entertainment giant added 9.3 million new viewers in the latest quarter( 季
度)—more than expected by analysts on Wall Street—leaving it with a record 269.6 million
worldwide.
"We're off to a good start in 2024,"the company said. Its shares(股票) dropped 2%

Profits at Netflix rose 15% to $9.4bn (£7.7bn) in the three months to 31 March. Net
income(净收入)jumped 79% to$2.3bnover thesame period.
Netflix pioneered the streaming revolution. Hollywood's established giants, from Disney
to Warner Bros, are still struggling to catch up and turn a profit on their own competitor
digital services.
Agrowth in subscribers early in the pandemic paused in 2022 as limits were lifted. But
shares in Netflix have increased over the past two years as it shored up growth by forbidding
password-sharing and introducing a cheaperlevel ofitsservice, withadvertisements.
Netflix has also broadened to live events, including coverage of World Wrestling
Entertainment, and videogaming.
In a letter to investors on Wednesday night, the company announced it would stop
reporting howmany members ithas from nextyear.
As it has regained momentum(发展势头) following its post-pandemic growth struggles,
Netflix has been trying to directWall Street's focus away from its subscriber growth numbers,
arguing that otherfinancial things includingsales were more important.
Forecasting sales growth of up to 15% this year, the company said to achieve "healthy"
long-term growth it will need to "improve the variety and quality" of movies, shows and
games on its platform; make it easier for users to find new series; and build its ad-funded
level intoa "more meaningful contributor" toits business.

Good news for lazy gardeners: one labour-saving change could almost double the
number of butterflies in your garden, according to a new scientific study—let the grass grow
long.
Now an analysis of six years of butterfly sightings across 600 British gardens has
provided evidence that wilder lawns increase numbers.The benefits of leaving areas of grass
long were most obvious in gardens within intensively(密集) farmed landscapes, with up to
93% more butterflies found and a greater range of species. Gardens with long grass in urban
areas showed an 18%increase.
"We wanted to be able to give tried and tested gardening advice that will benefit
butterflies, as we know lots ofpeople want to help," said Dr Richard Fox, the head of science
at Butterfly Conservation and a co-author of the study, published in the journal Science of
theTotal Environment.
"This study proves, for the first time, that allowing a patch of grass to grow long will
attract more butterflies into your garden," hesaid.
According to the study, long grass in gardens attracts more butterfly species whose
caterpillars feed on grasses. Fox said this suggested the lift in population was not simply
because long grass provided more nectar(花蜜) from wildflowers within it, but because
butterflies were seeking oractually breeding(繁殖) in rewilded lawns.
Fox said: "What people are doing with long grass in gardens is creating potential or
actual breeding habitat.In order to make an impact on the bio-diversity crisis we need to be
creatingplaces where butterflies and other wildlifecan breed .
If you have a patch of long grass you may have grasshoppers, beetles and ant hills as
well—therewill beall these spin-offs(派生物)."He added。
32. What doweknow about thestudy?
A. Theresearchers viewed 600Americans gardens.
B. Only more butterflies were found in thegardens.
C. Dr.Richard Fox alonecompleted the research.
D. It proves wilder lawns attracts morebutterflies.
33. Why domorebutterfly species go to wilderfields?
A. They can eat caterpillars onthe longgrass.
B. Wildflowers create abeautiful environment.
C. Butterflies willeasily breed babies there.
D. Wild grass can itselfprovidesweet nectar.

KEEPIT SECURE(安全)
All apps collect data as you use them. Following these four steps will help ensure you're
notoversharing.
For starters, download apps only from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, not
from random(随机的) websites. 36
Before you accept an app's terms and conditions, look at what information it's planning
to collect. 37 For example, why would a gaming app need access to your text messages?
Also, most apps don't need to know your location, but for those that do, you can choose to
enablelocation services onlywhen usingthe particular app, another smart privacy safeguard.
Sign up using an e-mail address you've set up just for things like app permissions and
e-mail news-letters. 38 This way, if there is a security breach(漏洞), your exposure is
controlled tothings connected to an unimportantaddress.
39 It means a long one(at least ten characters) with a mixture of letters, numbers, and
special characters-and, sorry, a unique password for each app.According to security experts,
a good trick is to create a memorable"passphrase" by creating a series of random words, and
then substitute(以...替换) numbers orspecial characters (i.e., @ fora) forsome oftheletters.
40 Go ahead and write them down—just store your cheat sheet(备忘纸条) in a secure
location (not your wallet or phone case!).Or enlist a password manager such as 1Password or
LastPass.
A.Usea secure password.
B.The websites are secure.
C.These letters are very useful.
D.Don’t useyour main e-mail address.
E.How willyou ever remember them all?
F.Think twiceifit's asking for toomany permissions.
G.Theseapps meet themajorcompanies quality standards.

On July 3, 1991, the five children in Larrane Leech’s day care(托儿所) group were
outdoors early, painting bright landscapes under the sun. By 10 a.m., it was time to find
shade, so Larrane, at 44, decided they would walk down to the river."We’re going to pick
berries now,"she announced. Larrane’s school stood on a wooded slope not far up from the
river.
After clearing away the painting supplies and handing each child an empty jar on that

Julymorning, Larrane called forPal, her one-year-oldGerman shepherd mix(德国牧羊犬).
Stopping the children at the first berry(浆果) bush, Larrane pointed to theclusters(簇) of
sweet, navy blue fruit. "Look, the berries are all over,"she said. She helped Lisa find some
clusters on the lowest branches. Mikey watched and then bit into a berry. "Mmm, good," he
said,and got busy plucking more.
Near them a young cougar(美洲狮) cocked(竖起) an ear toward the birdlike talk and
sniffed(嗅) the air. Cougars rarely attack people or show themselves, but as towns expanded
intomountainous countryside, there had been more and more sightings.
Larrane and the children moved slowly from bush to bush. Pal stopped frequently in the
shade, panting. Within 20 minutes, the children had filled their jars and were almost at the
river.Here, theground fell steeply to acool,shady stripofsand about 15feet wide.
Now the cougar could see the funny little creatures that had been making all the noise.
Thesewere perfect prey(猎物): small andunaware.
Larranesensed thechildren suddenly go quiet. Shelooked uptosee theback end ofa cat
the size of Pal standing over Mikey. The cat’s head was down.The sight of the cougar near
her kids momentarily froze Larrane. Now Natani was giggling(咯咯地笑) nervously. "Stop
licking Mikey’s face," she said playfully, as though talking to a house cat.Her mind racing
wildly, Larrane sprang toward the cougar. Blindly intending to grab its tail, she shifted aim at
thelastminuteand seized the cat bythescruff(颈背)of theneck.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Instantly,thecougar removed itsclaws andwheeled toward Larrane.
Watching thecat moveaway, Larrane ordered, "Let’sgo as fast as we can!"
