1．He felt _________ when ________ before his classmate’s.
A．embarrassing; making fun B．embarrassed; made fun of
C．embarrassing; to be made fun of D．embarrassed; being made fun
【答案】B
【详解】考查形容词、固定短语和状语从句的省略。句意：当在同学面前被取笑时，他感到很尴尬。第一空：表示人的主观感受，应用形容词embarrassed“感到尴尬的”作表语；形容词embarrassing“令人尴尬的”修饰物；第二空：make fun of sb.“取笑某人”是固定短语，当when引导的时间状语从句的主语和主句主语一致，且有be时，可省略从句的主语和be，从句主语he和从句谓语动词短语make fun of之间是被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，完整的从句为when he was made fun of before his classmate’s.，可省略he和was。综上，故选B。
2．It is easy to _____what the teacher has told us.
A．make fun of B．now that C．keep company D．keep in mind
【答案】D
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：记住老师告诉我们的话很容易。A. make fun of取笑；B. now that既然；C. keep company陪伴；D. keep in mind记住。根据“what the teacher has told us.”可知，记住老师所告诉我们的话。故选D。

【答案】A
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：金庸的小说《射雕英雄传》广受好评，迄今为止已被改编成至少7部电视剧。根据时间状语so far可知，用现在完成时。主语 novel The Legend of The Condor Heroes为单数，与adapt之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故选A。
4．Since 1949, the people’s living standard _______, causing a big _______ in population.
A．has been raised; rise B．has been risen; raise
C．has raised; rise D．has raised; raise
【答案】A
【详解】考查时态和名词。句意：自从1949年以来，人民的生活水平提高了，导致了人口的大幅增长。根据句子中的Since 1949可知，此处应用现在完成时，raise是及物动词有被动，故C、D项错误；rise为不及物动词无被动，所以B项错误；根据句子可知，raise与people’s living standard之间是被动关系，故第一空填has been raised；第二空由a big可知，用名词，rise当名词讲意为“增长；上升”。故选A。
5．He is the only one of the students who ________ to attend the competition so far.
A．has been chosen B．have been chosen C．have chosen D．has chosen
【答案】A

A．great beneficial B．great benefit
C．of great benefit D．of great beneficial
【答案】C
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：这个项目将对整个地区大有裨益。分析句子结构，本句使用了be of +抽象名词的用法，该结构相当于be+形容词，即be of benefit = be beneficial，A项因great做副词使用的时候含义为“很好地；极好地；很棒地”，不符合句意，故选C项。
7．Recently, the majority of cities ________ severely polluted and a series of events ________.
A．have been; has taken place B．are; have taken place
C．is; have been taken place D．has been; has been taken place
【答案】A
【详解】考查主谓一致和时态。句意：最近，大部分城市污染严重，并发生了一系列事件。句子的时间状语为Recently，时态宜用现在完成时；第一空的主语the majority of cities是“the majority of+复数名词”结构，是复数意义，且和pollute为被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态，复数形式；第二空的主语a series of events是“a series of+名词”结构，侧重“同一类的”事物，谓语动词用单数形式。故选A。

Each time I accidentally 17 one of them, it changed everything on my screen and I had to work hard to figure out how to change them back. Finally after two days, I think we have 18 the new computer to do the few simple things I need it to do so I can 19 the thou-sand other functions that I have no use for.
What I did learn from all of this is that when it comes to computers and 20 , I want to keep things simple. I don’t want to wake up in the morning and 21 to my devices. 22 , I want to pet my dogs, take them outside, and watch the sun 23 rise over the mountains here. Life is simple. It is we who make things 24 . I want to spend my time and my talents making this world better not 25 .

Many educators fear students will use the artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write their reports or cheat on homework. But other teachers are including it in the classroom.
Donnie Piercey is a teacher in Lexington, Kentucky. He told his 5th-grade students to try and beat the tool that was creating writing tasks. Piercey says his job is to prepare students for a world where knowledge of Al will be required. He describes ChatGPT as just the newest technology in his 17 years of teaching that caused worry about the possibility of cheating.“As educators, we haven’t worked out the best way to use AI yet,” he added. “But it’s coming, whether we want it to or not.”
One lesson in his class was a writing game between students and the machine.
Piercey asked students to “Find the Bot”. Each student wrote a short report about boxer Muhammad Ali. Then they tried to find out which was written by ChatGPT.
After playing “Find the Bot”, Piercey asked his class what skills it helped them learn.“How to properly summarize and correctly capitalize words and use commas.” said one student. Another student felt that sentences written by students “have a little more feeling... more flavor.” Students Laksi and McCormick, both 10, said they could see the good and bad parts of working with chat bots. They can help students who have trouble putting their thoughts into writing. McCormick said students could use it for suggestions, but should not use it to do all the work. “You shouldn’t take advantage of it,” McCormick said, “You’re not learning anything if you type in what you want, and then it gives you the answer.”
29．Which opinion will Donnie Piercey possibly agree with
A．The best way to use AI is to put it in classroom.
B．Students should not use AI for all tasks.
C．Students should be prepared to live with AI.
D．AI is the best tool to help with students’ learning.
30．In the game “Find the Bot”, students learned some skills that can be provided by AI EXCEPT _________.
A．summarizing given texts properly B．capitalizing words correctly
C．correct use of commas D．adding more flavor to sentences
31．ChatGPT is NOT suitable for students who_________.
A．totally depend on chat bots
B．search for some suggestions
C．want to learn something with it
D．have difficulty expressing thoughts in writing
32．In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article
A．Environment. B．History. C．Travel. D．Science.
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。当许多教育工作者担心学生会借助ChatGPT写报告或在作业中作弊时，肯塔基州列克星敦的唐尼·皮尔西老师把ChatGPT纳入了课堂，并引导学生总结了使用ChatGPT对他们的写作、学习的影响。
29．【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段末“‘As educators, we haven’t worked out the best way to use AI yet,’ he added. ‘But it’s coming, whether we want it to or not.’ (‘作为教育工作者，我们还没有找到使用人工智能的最佳方式，’他补充道。‘但不管我们愿不愿意，它都会到来。’)”可知，Donnie Piercey认为AI的存在是不可避免的，学生们应该做好与人工智能共存的准备。故选C项。
30．【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一点“After playing ‘Find the Bot’, Piercey asked his class what skills it helped them learn. ‘How to properly summarize and correctly capitalize words and use commas.’ said one student. Another student felt that sentences written by students ‘have a little more feeling...more flavor.’ (在玩完‘Find the Bot’游戏后，Piercey问他的学生这款游戏帮助他们学习了哪些技能。‘如何正确地总结和正确地大写单词和使用逗号。’一个学生说。另一位学生认为学生写的句子‘更有感觉……更多的味道。’)”可知，学生认为在写作中使用ChatGPT可以正确总结本文，正确使用大小写字母，他们的句子更加生动、有趣、有个性，而不是平淡无味或缺乏表达力。故选D项。
31．【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段末“They can help students who have trouble putting their thoughts into writing. McCormick said students could use it for suggestions, but should not use it to do all the work. ‘You shouldn’t take advantage of it,’ McCormick said. ‘You’re not learning anything if you type in what you want, and then it gives you the answer.’ (他们可以帮助那些在把自己的想法写下来方面有困难的学生。麦考密克说，学生可以用它来提出建议，但不应该用它来做所有的工作。‘你不应该利用它，’麦考密克说，‘如果你输入你想要的东西，然后它就会给你答案，那你什么也学不到。’)”可知，学生在写作表达有困难时可以求助ChatGPT，其他的工作不能求助，否则最终什么也没学到。故ChatGPT不适合于那些完全依赖ChatGPT的学生。故选A项。
32．【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Many educators fear students will use the artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write their reports or cheat on homework.But other teachers are including it in the classroom. (许多教育工作者担心学生会使用人工智能（AI）工具ChatGPT写报告或在作业中作弊。但其他老师正在把它纳入课堂。)”结合全文可知，本文主要内容是关于人工智能在教育中的运用，属于科学类。故选D项。
C
Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part — drivers.
DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake locked up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.
One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner”, if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.
“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Bebringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonies, “Even ants can do all these tasks effortlessly. It’s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”
The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there’s a cookie in the kitchen, she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie, it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.
33．Why did the watchers doubt if any of the vehicles could finish the race
A．They did not have any human guidance. B．The road was not familiar to the drivers.
C．The distance was too long for the vehicles. D．The prize money was unattractive to the drivers.
34．What was the purpose of the race organized by DARPA
A．To raise money for producing more robotic vehicles.
B．To push the development of vehicle industry.
C．To train more people to drive in the desert.
D．To improve the vehicles for future wars.
35．In the race, what was the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered
A．Almost two miles. B．Six miles.
C．About eight miles. D．About one mile.
36．What does the writer imply in the last paragraph
A．A robotic vehicle can finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties.
B．A little child who has just learned to walk can’t reach the cookie on the table.
C．A robotic vehicle can’t deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve.
D．A little child can understand the importance of wiping apple juice off her face.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是DARPA组织一次汽车越野比赛，目的是改进未来战场上的机器人汽车，同时还介绍这些机器人汽车的优点和缺点。
33．【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据首段中的“Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part — drivers.(车队和观众都知道，可能根本没有赢家，因为这些车缺少一个关键的部分——司机。)”可知，团队和观众知道不会有胜者，因为这些参赛的汽车没有司机，由此可知，观众怀疑是不是会有车队能完成比赛的原因是汽车上根本没有任何人类的指引。故选A项。
34．【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields.(美国国防高级研究计划局（DARPA）组织了这场比赛，作为推动为未来战场开发机器人汽车的一部分。)”可知，DARPA组织比赛是作为推动未来战场机器人汽车发展的一部分，由此可推断，DARPA组织这次比赛是为了改进未来战争用车。故选D项。
35．【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The “winner”, if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.(如果有“获胜者”的话，它跑了7.8英里后就撞进了一个又长又窄的洞里，前轮着火了。)”可知，机器人车辆跑了7.8英里，也就是大概8英里。故选C项。
36．【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据尾段中的“The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately.(尽管这些机器人车辆配备了先进的计算机和GPS导航等必要的现代设备，但它们很难足够快地识别出前面的街区，而一个两岁大的人却能立即识别出来。)”可知，一个配备了现代设备的机器人车辆很难足够快的找出前方的街区，而一个两岁的孩子会立即认出，再根据“She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.(她，甚至只有几个月大，都比人类设计的任何机器都更先进。)”可知，一个几个月大的孩子都比任何机器人都先进，由此可推断，最后一段暗示了机器人永远都不如人的智力，结合选项可知，C选项中的“机器人车辆无法处理小孩可以解决的简单问题。”与本段的内容吻合。故选C项。
D
A few years ago, my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school Where was she spending her time My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after-class activities. Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking app (跟踪应用程序) on her kid’s phone.
At first, this made my sister-in-law “feel better”. Then the good situation suddenly ended. She recalled, “I found out that she was at a place where she said she wasn’t. I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends.” Things went quickly downhill (每况愈下) for the mother and the daughter after that.
With 83% of teens having their own smart phones, according to a 2020 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question: To watch or not
Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. “I’ve found the tracking app is more acceptable (可接受的) for teens when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,” she said.
Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don’t have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smart phone,” he said. For example, his daughter must “friend (加为好友)” him on social media so that he can read posts, and must share all passwords.
When you’re trying to build trust, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with (对……坦诚的) your children. “Parents must let children know how and when they’ll be watching them,” said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they’re not open about it, he warns, it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship”.
37．What can we infer from the second paragraph
A．The author’s niece sometimes lied to her mother.
B．The author’s niece did worse and worse in her studies.
C．The author’s niece always followed her mother’s orders.
D．The author’s niece liked the tracking app on her phone.
38．What did Ana Homayoun suggest parents use the tracking app for
A．Their kids’ relations. B．Their kids’ secrets.
C．Their kids’ health. D．Their kids’ security.
39．How can Mark Bell’s daughter have a smart phone
A．She ought to earn money to pay for it.
B．She must follow some ground rules.
C．She should put a tracking app on her phone.
D．She has to tell him where she is anytime.
40．What is Doctor Pauleh Weigle’s opinion about parents using a tracking app
A．Letting them check their children’s phones often.
B．Teaching their children how to use their phones better.
C．Telling their children to use their phones less and less.
D．Making their children know how and when they will watch them.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。根据皮尤2020年的一项研究，83%的青少年拥有自己的智能手机，越来越多的父母面临着这样一个问题：看还是不看？针对这一问题，作者给出了自己的看法。

四、七选五
Just last year, the number of websites worldwide reached 1.8 billion. We are constantly surrounded by information and have countless sources of information available at our fingertips. 41 Being able to evaluate the credibility of information is an important skill used in school, work, and day-to-day life. The following tips will help you tell a good source from inaccurate ones.
Check the domain name.
Look at the three letters at the end of the site’s domain name, such as “edu” (educational), “gov” (government), “org” (nonprofit), and “com” (commercial). Generally, .edu and. gov websites are credible, but beware of sites that use these suffixes in an attempt to mislead. 42 Commercial websites, such as those of reputable news organizations, can also be good sources, but do some investigation to look for signs of reliability.
Check the Date.
43 In some subject areas, such as the sciences, having current sources is essential; but in other fields, like the humanities, including older material is critical. If you need the most up-to-date information available, it’s probably best to keep clear old websites. One way to check: Look for a “last updated” date on the page or site.
Research the author.
A source is more credible if written by someone with achievements. If no author is named, the source should not be considered highly credible. However, if the author is presenting original work, evaluate the value of the ideas. 44 The history of science tells us that the big advances in sciences tend to come from outsiders, not the establishment.
45
If a site is poorly designed and amateurish, chances are it was created by amateurs. Odd look generally equals odd and rarely truthful news. Sloppy writing is another bad sign. Keep clear. But be careful: Just because a website is professionally designed doesn’t mean it’s reliable.
A．Consider the site’s look.
B．Always dig a little deeper.
C．Stay away from commercial websites.
D．It can be hard to know which sources to trust.
E．Achievements have never guaranteed innovation.
F．Find out when the source was published or revised.
G．Nonprofit websites may also contain reliable information.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何区分正确的信息来源和错误的信息来源的方法。
41．【答案】D
【解析】根据后文“Being able to evaluate the credibility of information is an important skill used in school, work, and day-to-day life. The following tips will help you tell a good source from inaccurate ones.(能够评估信息的可信度是在学校、工作和日常生活中使用的一项重要技能。下面的建议将帮助你区分正确的信息来源和错误的信息来源。)”可推断，该空应是过渡句，要顺接下文，表达在众多的信息中筛选分辨正确和错误的信息。D选项“It can be hard to know which sources to trust(很难知道哪些消息来源值得信任)”符合语境。故选D。
42．【答案】G
【解析】根据前文“Look at the three letters at the end of the site’s domain name，such as “edu”(educational), “gov”(government), “org”(nonprofit), and “com”(commercial) .Generally, .edu and .gov websites are credible, but beware of sites that use these suffixes in an attempt to mislead.(看看网站域名后面的三个字母，比如“edu”（教育），“gov”（政府），“org”（非营利）和“com”（商业）。一般来说，edu和gov网站是可信的，但要注意使用这些后缀试图误导的网站。)”可知，该段总共介绍了四种网站域名，该空前已经介绍了两种，结合空后对商业网站的介绍“Commercial websites, such as those of reputable news organizations, can also be good sources, but do some investigation to look for signs of reliability.(商业网站，如那些有信誉的新闻机构，也可以是很好的来源，但要做一些调查来寻找可靠性的迹象。)”可知，该空要介绍的是非营利网站，所以G选项“Nonprofit websites may also contain reliable information (非营利网站也可能包含可靠的信息)”符合语境。故选G。
43．【答案】F
【解析】根据本段小标题“Check the Date(核实日期)”及空后的介绍“In some subject areas, such as the sciences, having current sources is essential; but in other fields, like the humanities, including older material is critical. If you need the most up-to-date information available, it’s probably best to keep clear old websites. One way to check: Look for a “last updated” date on the page or site.(在某些学科领域，如科学，拥有最新的资料是必不可少的；但在其他学科领域，如人文学科，包括旧的资料是至关重要的。如果你需要最新的信息，最好不要浏览旧网站。检查方法之一：在页面或网站上查找“最后更新”日期。)”可知，该段介绍的是找到信息提供的时间日期的重要性，F选项“Find out when the source was published or revised(找出来源是什么时候出版或修改的)”符合语境，对后文进行了概括。故选F。
44．【答案】E
【解析】根据前文“A source is more credible if written by someone with achievements. lf no author is named, the source should not be considered highly credible. However, if the author is presenting original work, evaluate the value of the ideas.(如果一个消息来源是由有成就的人写的，那它就更可信。如果没有给出作者的名字，则该消息来源不应被认为是高度可信的。)”可知，该空要承接上文，介绍如何看待有成就的人发布的信息，由E选项“Achievements have never guaranteed innovation(成就并不能保证创新)”符合语境，achievements是关键对应词。故选E。
45．【答案】A
【解析】该空位于本段小标题处，根据后文“lf a site is poorly designed and amateurish, chances are it was created by amateurs. Odd look generally equals odd and rarely truthful news. Sloppy writing is another bad sign. Keep clear. But be careful: Just because a website is professionally designed doesn't mean it's reliable.(如果一个网站设计得很差，很业余，那么它很可能是由业余人士创建的。奇怪的表情通常等于奇怪，很少有真实的消息。潦草的书写是另一个不好的迹象。保持清晰。但是要注意：一个网站是专业设计的并不意味着它是可靠的。)”可知，网站设计的观感很重要，也是判断信息优劣的一个方面，A选项“Consider the site's look(考虑网站的外观)”符合语境。故选A。

Many educators fear students will use the artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write their reports or cheat on homework. But other teachers are including it in the classroom.
Donnie Piercey is a teacher in Lexington, Kentucky. He told his 5th-grade students to try and beat the tool that was creating writing tasks. Piercey says his job is to prepare students for a world where knowledge of Al will be required. He describes ChatGPT as just the newest technology in his 17 years of teaching that caused worry about the possibility of cheating.“As educators, we haven’t worked out the best way to use AI yet,” he added. “But it’s coming, whether we want it to or not.”
One lesson in his class was a writing game between students and the machine.
Piercey asked students to “Find the Bot”. Each student wrote a short report about boxer Muhammad Ali. Then they tried to find out which was written by ChatGPT.
After playing “Find the Bot”, Piercey asked his class what skills it helped them learn.“How to properly summarize and correctly capitalize words and use commas.” said one student. Another student felt that sentences written by students “have a little more feeling... more flavor.” Students Laksi and McCormick, both 10, said they could see the good and bad parts of working with chat bots. They can help students who have trouble putting their thoughts into writing. McCormick said students could use it for suggestions, but should not use it to do all the work. “You shouldn’t take advantage of it,” McCormick said, “You’re not learning anything if you type in what you want, and then it gives you the answer.”
29．Which opinion will Donnie Piercey possibly agree with
A．The best way to use AI is to put it in classroom.
B．Students should not use AI for all tasks.
C．Students should be prepared to live with AI.
D．AI is the best tool to help with students’ learning.
30．In the game “Find the Bot”, students learned some skills that can be provided by AI EXCEPT _________.
A．summarizing given texts properly B．capitalizing words correctly
C．correct use of commas D．adding more flavor to sentences
31．ChatGPT is NOT suitable for students who_________.
A．totally depend on chat bots
B．search for some suggestions
C．want to learn something with it
D．have difficulty expressing thoughts in writing
32．In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article
A．Environment. B．History. C．Travel. D．Science.
C
Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part — drivers.
DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake locked up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.
One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner”, if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.
“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Bebringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonies, “Even ants can do all these tasks effortlessly. It’s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.”
The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there’s a cookie in the kitchen, she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie, it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.

A few years ago, my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school Where was she spending her time My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after-class activities. Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking app (跟踪应用程序) on her kid’s phone.
At first, this made my sister-in-law “feel better”. Then the good situation suddenly ended. She recalled, “I found out that she was at a place where she said she wasn’t. I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends.” Things went quickly downhill (每况愈下) for the mother and the daughter after that.
With 83% of teens having their own smart phones, according to a 2020 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question: To watch or not
Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. “I’ve found the tracking app is more acceptable (可接受的) for teens when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,” she said.
Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don’t have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smart phone,” he said. For example, his daughter must “friend (加为好友)” him on social media so that he can read posts, and must share all passwords.
When you’re trying to build trust, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with (对……坦诚的) your children. “Parents must let children know how and when they’ll be watching them,” said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they’re not open about it, he warns, it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship”.

B．The author’s niece did worse and worse in her studies.
C．The author’s niece always followed her mother’s orders.

38．What did Ana Homayoun suggest parents use the tracking app for
A．Their kids’ relations. B．Their kids’ secrets.
C．Their kids’ health. D．Their kids’ security.
39．How can Mark Bell’s daughter have a smart phone
A．She ought to earn money to pay for it.
B．She must follow some ground rules.
C．She should put a tracking app on her phone.
D．She has to tell him where she is anytime.
40．What is Doctor Pauleh Weigle’s opinion about parents using a tracking app

B．Teaching their children how to use their phones better.

Just last year, the number of websites worldwide reached 1.8 billion. We are constantly surrounded by information and have countless sources of information available at our fingertips. 41 Being able to evaluate the credibility of information is an important skill used in school, work, and day-to-day life. The following tips will help you tell a good source from inaccurate ones.
Check the domain name.
Look at the three letters at the end of the site’s domain name, such as “edu” (educational), “gov” (government), “org” (nonprofit), and “com” (commercial). Generally, .edu and. gov websites are credible, but beware of sites that use these suffixes in an attempt to mislead. 42 Commercial websites, such as those of reputable news organizations, can also be good sources, but do some investigation to look for signs of reliability.
Check the Date.
43 In some subject areas, such as the sciences, having current sources is essential; but in other fields, like the humanities, including older material is critical. If you need the most up-to-date information available, it’s probably best to keep clear old websites. One way to check: Look for a “last updated” date on the page or site.
Research the author.
A source is more credible if written by someone with achievements. If no author is named, the source should not be considered highly credible. However, if the author is presenting original work, evaluate the value of the ideas. 44 The history of science tells us that the big advances in sciences tend to come from outsiders, not the establishment.
45
If a site is poorly designed and amateurish, chances are it was created by amateurs. Odd look generally equals odd and rarely truthful news. Sloppy writing is another bad sign. Keep clear. But be careful: Just because a website is professionally designed doesn’t mean it’s reliable.
A．Consider the site’s look.
B．Always dig a little deeper.
C．Stay away from commercial websites.
D．It can be hard to know which sources to trust.
E．Achievements have never guaranteed innovation.
F．Find out when the source was published or revised.
G．Nonprofit websites may also contain reliable information.
