It is made up of millions of pages of data (数据). The World Wide Web was invented in 1991 by an English scientist, Tim Berners-Lee. Berners-Lee built his first computer while he was at university using an old television! He came up with the idea of the World Wide Web in 1989 while he was working in Switzerland. Berners-Lee made it possible for everyone to use the Internet, not just universities and the army. He designed the first “web browser”, which allowed computer users to access documents (文件) from other computers. From the moment on, the web and the Internet grew. Within five years, the number of Internet users rose from 600,000 to 40 million. The Internet has made thousands of millionaires (百万富翁), but Berners-Lee is not one of them. Everyone in the world can access the Internet using his World Wide Web system. He now works as a lecturer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston. 21.Usually we access the Internet through . A.a radioB.a computer C.a TV set D.a recorder 22.What is a web browser? A.It is something that allows people to use computers. B.It is something that allows people to use a library. C.It is something that allows people to become a millionaire by using the World Wide Web. D.It is something that allows people to access documents from other computers. 23.From the passage we know that . A.Berners-Lee has invented the computer B.people cant access the Internet without Berners-Lees permission C.Berners-Lee has not become very rich because of his invention D.Berners-Lee is now working in a famous computer-producing company B The Internet plays a big part in human life.We use it for work and pleasure.We use it to learn a new language.We find advice on it.We use it to connect with family and friends.We use it to stay in touch with events we care about.The list goes on and on. As far as the Internet being a part of our liveswell,that train has left the station.There is no going back to an Internet-free life.But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health?It might be,sayresearchers.A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in a young group:teenagers. The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure,which makes your heart and blood vessels work too hard.Overtime,this extra pressure increases your risk of a heart attack.High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases. The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit,Michigan did the study.335 young people,from 14 to 17 years old,took part in it.134 of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”.And researchers found that out of these 134 teens,26 had high blood pressure.The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use with high blood pressure. The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy Bushrow.Shesaid,“Using the Internet is part of our daily life,but it shouldnt ruin us.”Ms Cassidy Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regularly from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physical activity.She also suggests that parents shouldnt let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day,five days a week. 24.What does the underlined part “that train has left the station” mean in paragraph 2? A.The train has stopped at the wrong station. B.Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found. C.The train has changed its course. D.There is something wrong with the station. 25.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The advantages of Internet use. B.The harm of high blood pressure. C.The disadvantages of Internet use. D.Ways to prevent high blood pressure. 26.Andrea Cassidy Bushrow would agree that . A.teenagers shouldnt use the Internet B.the Internet will ruin human life in the future C.regular breaks are necessary when using the Internet D.smartphones are more harmful than computers 27.What can be used as the best title of the passage? A.Heavy Internet users are mostly teenagers B.How to prevent teenagers from the Internet C.Every coin has two sidesso does the Internet D.Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers C Some of the questions you ask your human resources(HR)(人力资源) department could soon be answered by,well,non-humans. Thats the concept behind Talla,a Boston-area start-up that has developed a chatbot(一种聊天程序) to do some of the tasks that HR departments carry out,including explaining company policy,surveyingemployees,collecting information or training new hires.TheTalla bot operates inside enterprise group messaging software,such as Slack,HipChat or Microsoft Teams,which has increasingly become an alternative to email as a method of digital communication within companies.Some 1,200 companies have brought in Talla,about a quarter of whom use the service regularly,saidTallas founder Rob May. Robots promise to be a violent force in the global economy.Some scientists expect they will undoubtedly replace low-wage workers,such as drivers and factory labour.As artificial intelligence continues to become more developed,robots may eventually do work instead of humans in many fields.Already,bots are being employed in fields as varied as law,journalism,medicine and engineering. Does that mean HR will depend only on bots?Maybe,but not for several decades,predictsMay.Infact,he says the introduction of chatbots to HR allows the human staff to focus on tasks that require a greater degree of intellect. “Whats actually going to happen is that youre going to allow the HR department to be more human by automating(使自动化) a lot of their repeated work,” he said.“HR spends a lot of time doing these low- level,monotonoustasks,”Maycontinued.“What youll find is that more of the work that does not need communicating with other humans is the kind of work that will be automated.” 28.What do we know about the Talla bot? A.It can increase human staffs intelligence. B.It helps companies advance their service. C.It is welcomed in many companies. D.It will get less and less human. 29.What will HR do according to May? A.Usechatbots instead of robots. B.Communicate more with chatbots. C.Letchatbots replace them completely soon. D.Free themselves from less significant tasks. 30.What does the underlined word “monotonous” in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Hard. B.Boring. C.Hopeless. D.Worthless. 31.What does the text mainly focus on? A.Chatbots role and HR. B.Robots and chatbots. C.HRs heavy work. D.Chatbots future. D Weve been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us.We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy.Over the years,there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones,portable desks to ones that change into shelves. However,the most high-tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called the Stir Kinetic Desk.The desk learns your daily behaviour and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow. You can programme specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule.If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning,but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call,the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them.Ofcourse,the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left corner of the desk. When switching positions,the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up.If youre not ready to switch positions at that time,you can tap the touch screen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer. The built-in touch screen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories youve burned.You can even set goals for how long or how often you want to stand.The desk also works with fitness devices like the Fitbit to track your movements. All of that smart technology doesnt come cheap though.The M1 desk,which is the everyday model,runs a steep $2,990,while the more executive model with added features,the F1,goes for $4,190. While expensive,its worth that thinking of how much time we spend at our desks.Much like a good mattress(床垫),a good desk that works with you is worth the investment.Hopefully in a few years these smart,integrated desks will be more common and less expensive. 32.The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed to . A.help users with their work B.keep users moving all the time C.get users to exercise while working D.remind users of their working schedule 33.Which is the feature of the touch screen of the desk? A.It can tell users when to change positions. B.It can track users changes of positions. C.It can keep users in a fixed position. D.It can detect users health condition. 34.Which of the following can best describe the desk? A.Productive but challenging. B.Convenient but unaffordable. C.Complex and impractical. D.Multifunctional and intelligent. 35.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A.To spend money on such a desk is rewarding. B.We should get such a desk as soon as possible. C.It wont be long before the desk is widely used. D.Desks play a very important role in our daily life. 第二节(共 5小题;每小题 2分,满分 10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Waystoprotectyouronlineidentity The first time you used a social networking site,you were creating an online identity.36 Maybe youre a little shy in real life,but online youre a jokester and your avatar is a famous comedian.Here are some things to protect your online identity. Remember that nothing is temporary online.The virtual world is full of opportunities to interact with people around the world.37 A lot of what you do and say online can be got back even if you delete it,and its very easy for others to copy,keep,and use your information. Protect your passwords and change them frequently.If someone pretends to be you online,they can destroy your identity.Choose passwords that no one can guess,and change them regularly.38 Even your best friend,boyfriend,or girlfriend should not know your private passwords! Learn about copyrights(版权).Its a good idea to learn about copyright laws and make sure you dont post,share,or distribute copyrighted images,songs,orfiles.If you want to share them,you should not do anything illegal.39 Dont respond to inappropriate requests.Research shows that a high percentage of teens receive inappropriate messages when theyre online.40 If you feel offended by a stranger or a friend online,tell an adult you trust immediately.It is never a good idea to respond.Responding is likely to make things worse,and might lead you to say something that you dont want to speak. A.Its also a place where everything can be rediscovered. B.They can be scary,strange,and even embarrassing. C.She knows that nothing is ever really private online. D.Otherwise you will pay for your illegal sharing later. E.Thats one way to make others see your online identity. F.Never share them with anyone except your parents or an adult that you trust.
