If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of
the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but others need human connection and creativity.
But are we under estimating（低估）what robots can do? In some cases, they already p ___ 7 1___ better than
doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more c ___ 7 2___ sharing their private information with
a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the
classroom: 2027. He p ___ 7 3___ robots will do most work of transferring information and teachers will be like
assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain s ___ 7 4___ . Then they will
adapt（使…适应）the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever
understand other people’s feelings and be able to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. Teachers all over the world are
l ___ 7 5___ . In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9 to 16 percent of children under the age
of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t
suffer from stress, or get t ___ 7 6___ , or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Teaching is generally recognized as difficult and teachers feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will
robots take the place of teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Office workers can use software to do
things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing
non-teaching work, i ___ 7 7___ more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time
teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of
the job humans do best.

FOMO
Posted 2 hours ago by Mr. Braddock Sixth Grade
teacher
Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. You aren’t able to do
your best and keep up with all of your responsibilities unless you sleep well. I’m sure you already know that you
should go to bed at a reasonable hour. Most experts agree that the ideal number of hours is eight and this has beenaccepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you
get much less sleep than that --- and in some cases it will be affecting your school work.
I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales
Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at
appropriate ate times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night not to use the bathroom or
have a snack but because of a new phenomenon FOMO --- fear of missing out.
According to the article, school are suffering because of growing trend（趋势）to wake up during the night to
check social medial. Afraid of missing a reply or opportunity to take part in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times
of the night, going online and getting involved. All this takes place when they should be sound asleep.
Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report shows some worrying statistics that I’d like to
share with you:
● 23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night
once a week for the same reason.
● One in three students are tired all the time and unable to do the work to the best of their ability.
● Students who use social media during the night are more likely to feel extremely sad and anxious.
So, I’d like to ask you to ___ 83 ___ . The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in
the morning I give you my word that you won’t have missed anything important.
78. This article was posted by a teacher, wasn’t it?
79. How much time should schoolchildren spend sleeping every night according to the article?
80. What does FOMO stand for?
81. Why do schoolchildren check up their social media in the middle of the night?
Because
82. What two possible conclusions can we draw from the statistics?
Conclusion 1： （no more than 10
words）
Conclusion 2： （no more than 10
words）
83. In the last paragraph, what does the writer probably want to say to the readers?
So, I’d like to ask you to .VII. Writing（作文）（共20分）
84. Write at least 60 words to talk about “How technology affects me”. Does the development of technology
affect you in a positive way or in a negative way? What do you think of the influence? How do you deal with it?
请以“How technology affects me”为题，写一篇不少于 60 个词的短文，谈论科技发展对你带来了正面
的影响还是负面的影响。你怎样看待科技对你的影响吗? 你怎样面对这些影响呢?
（注意：短文中不得出现考生的姓名、校名及其他相关信息，否则不予评分。标点符号不占格）
