A conference was held with former technology industry leaders calling for urgent measures to protect children from smartphone addiction (上瘾).
Among those urging major changes is Tristan Harris—a former high level employee at Google. He just launched a group that will seek to gather and publish evidence of how digital devices and social media can harm children and young people. Harris says he believes companies like Google, Facebook and Apple have a “moral responsibility” not to create technology products that can “hijack how the mind works”.
The conference where Harris spoke was sponsored by Common Sense Media, a child and family activist group. The organization says research suggests that half of all teenagers feel addicted to their mobile devices, while about 60 percent of parents believe their kids are addicted.
The group also cites a recent study of eighth graders that found heavy users of technology were 56 percent more likely to say they are unhappy, while 27 percent more likely to be depressed. Even Facebook cited research last year suggesting that social media use can harm mental health when used in certain ways.
James Steyer is the founder of Common Sense. He says more than half of schools in the US are already members of the organization. The group provides teachers and parents with learning materials intended to help students develop critical thinking skills and balance their digital lives.
Some US schools, however, have tried to limit or remove technology to improve learning. One of them is in Silicon Valley, the center of the American tech industry.
The Waldorf School of the Peninsula does not use any computers or digital technology in its education programs up to the seventh grade. The school's website says while Waldorf teachers recognize the role technology can play in the classroom, it must wait until the student reaches the right developmental age. Normally when students reach high school, they are allowed to use computers and digital tools in the classroom.

二、阅读理解
1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,谷歌等科技公司的“道德责任”是不生产“绑架人们思想”的科技产品,也就是说,他们不再生产对年轻人有害的科技产品。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据第三段第二句中的“feel addicted to their mobile devices”可知,这里的hijack意为“控制”(原意为“绑架”)。
3.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知,半岛华德福学校在教学中不使用任何计算机或数字技术,这种做法一直延续到七年级。由此判断,该校在教学中限制数码产品的使用。
4.C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了一个关于数码技术的会议,与会人员呼吁,应针对青少年的数码产品上瘾问题采取措施,保护他们的健康。
三、语法填空
1.describing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处作定语修饰 article, article与describe之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,表主动,故用现在分词。
2.recently 考查词性转换。修饰动词 become,所以用副词形式。
3.By 考查介词。句意:通过使用“佛系青年”这个词,作者指出一些 90后已经看透了生活,对生活保持着一种随意而平静的态度。空格后面是v. ing形式,可知空格处应填介词,根据句意可知此处的介词表示“方式”,故填By。
4.less 考查副词的比较级。根据空格前面的more casual可知空格处用比较级。句意:他们对于生活的选择已经变得更加随意,而且关注地更少。
5.to satisfy 考查非谓语动词。句意:有没有都无所谓,没必要去追求或赢得任何东西,并且他们很容易满足。“be+adj.+不定式”是固定用法。
6.A 考查冠词。example是可数名词且用了单数,此处又表示泛指的例子,且classic首字母发音为辅音音素,故填不定冠词A。
7.what 考查疑问词。句意:佛系青年不介意吃什么或者到哪里去度假。what to eat是“疑问词+不定式”结构,作 choose的宾语。
8. has been received 考查动词的时态和语态。空格处作谓语,根据时间状语 since it was first created可知谓语动词应用现在完成时,再根据by netizens可知谓语动词用被动语态,故填has been received。
9.times 考查名词。time作“次数”讲时是可数名词,根据空格前面 的 more than 1 million可知应该用复数,故填 times。
10.appearance 考查词性转换。空格前由形容词sudden修饰,说明空格处应为名词,与后面的quick popularity并列作主语,故填appearance。
