语篇品读 Internet Has Changed Our Everyday Life 文章出处：https://www./ The Internet has turned our existence upside down. It has revolutionized communications, to the extent that it is now our preferred medium of everyday communication. In almost everything we do, we use the Internet. Ordering a pizza, buying a television, sharing a moment with a friend, sending a picture over instant messaging. Before the Internet, if you wanted to keep up with the news, you had to walk down to the newsstand when it opened in the morning and buy a local edition reporting what had happened the previous day. But today a click or two is enough to read your local paper and any news source from anywhere in the world, updated up to the minute. The Internet was no longer concerned with information exchange alone: it was a sophisticated multidisciplinary tool enabling individuals to create content, communicate with one another, and even escape reality. Today, we can send data from one end of the world to the other in a matter of seconds, make online presentations, live in parallel “game worlds,” and use pictures, video, sound, and text to share our real lives, our genuine identity. Personal stories go public; local issues become global. The rise of the Internet has sparked a debate about how online communication affects social relationships. The Internet frees us from geographic fetters and brings us together in topic-based communities that are not tied down to any specific place. Ours is a networked, globalized society connected by new technologies. The Internet is the tool we use to interact with one another, and accordingly poses new challenges to privacy and security. （272 words） 全文翻译 因特网改变了我们的日常生活 互联网颠覆了我们的生存方式。它彻底改变了通信方式，以至于它现在成为我们日常通信的首选媒介。我们所做的几乎所有事情都使用互联网。订购披萨、购买电视、与朋友分享朋友圈、通过即时通信 发送图片。在互联网出现之前，如果你想了解新闻，你必须在早上报刊亭开门时，走到那里去购买一份本地当天的报告，来了解前一天发生的事情。但如今，只需点击一两下鼠标，就足以阅读当地报纸和世界任何地方的任何新闻，并实时更新。 互联网不再仅仅关注信息交换：它是一种复杂的多学科工具，使个人能够创建内容、相互交流，甚至逃避现实。今天，我们可以在几秒钟内将数据从世界的一端发送到另一端，进行在线演示，生活在并行的“游戏世界”中，并使用图片、视频、声音和文本来分享我们的真实生活、我们的真实身份。个人经历得以公开；局部问题变成了全球化。 互联网的兴起引发了关于在线交流如何影响社会关系的争论。互联网使我们摆脱了地理束缚，并将我们聚集在不受任何特定地点限制的基于主题的社区中。我们的社会是一个由新技术连接起来的网络化、全球化的社会。互联网是我们用来相互交流的工具，因此对隐私和安全提出了新的挑战。
读写结合 以自己的亲生经历，回忆你第一次通过因特网做成的一件有意义的事情。标题自拟。 My first shopping online My first shopping online happened during the nation day of 2020, when I was starting my junior middle school. I was badly needed a Dictionary Pen for learning English, because it was convenient for me to carry and use. Talking about this with my parents, I was allowed to have one. But there wasn’t any in the local shops. So I decided to buy one online. My father happily let me use his account and guided me hand by hand until the last step. After two days’ wait, I was so excited to get the pen from the delivering man. I couldn’t wait to open the parcel on the way home, reading the instruction hurriedly. Hardly had I got home, I anxious found an English book to test my treasure. It can translate both words and long sentences by simply scanning them, and read them aloud clearly at the same time. In addition, it also has other functions, such as data extract, high quality recording, and handwriting input, etc. I was wild with joy. The moment my father arrived home, I quickly showed him all these functions! Three years passed, but I still remember that moment vividly, just like it had happened yesterday. (203 words)

人与自我 做人与做事 认识自我，丰富自我 ★★★
（湖南师大附中2023—2024学年度高一第一学期第一次月考）
In contrast to the often heard views that robots will replace human workers, research firm Gartner predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) may actually create more jobs than it’s expected to take away. By 2020, artificial intelligence has created 2.3 million jobs, going beyond the 1.8 million that it has replaced, the company said in a recent report. In the following five years to 2025, net (净得的) new jobs created in relation to AI will reach 2 million, according to the report.
The number of jobs affected will be different from industry to industry. The public sector, health care and education are expected to get the most jobs, while manufacturing and transportation may be hit the hardest, said Gartner’s research director, Manjunath Bhat.
“Robots are not here to take away our jobs, they’re here to give us a promotion—I think that’s the way we should start looking at AI,” Bhat told reporters on Tuesday.
Gartner’s positive predictions contrast with the warnings on the dangers of AI sounded by top technology industry voices such as Kai Fu Lee, the founder of venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures. He said robots are likely to replace 50 per cent of all jobs in the next decade.
Gartner admitted in its report that AI would cut millions of middle and low level positions. But it stressed that more new jobs would be created, including highly skilled jobs, management positions and even low skilled jobs.
“IT leaders should not only focus on the expected increase of jobs,” the report said. “For the greatest value, focus on improving people with AI. Enrich people’s jobs, reimagine old tasks and create new industries. Change your culture to make it rapidly adaptable to AI related opportunities or threats.”
5. What does Gartner think of AI
A. Human workers will be out of work. B. AI will create more jobs than it cuts.
C. AI will run out of human control. D. New industries will replace old ones.
6. Who will probably suffer job loss according to Gartner
A. Teachers. B. Dentists. C. Bus drivers. D. Social workers.
7. What’s Kai Fu Lee’s attitude towards AI development
A. Uncertain. B. Hopeful. C. Worried. D. Confused.
8. What does Gartner suggest IT leaders do in the future
A. Make use of new industry opportunities.
B. Equip people with training programs.
C. Stop old business and turn to the new one.
D. Welcome AI and adapt to the challenge.
【答案】5. B 6. C 7. C 8. D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Gartner研究公司认为，与未来人工智能取代的工作机会相比，它可能会创造更多的工作机会。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In contrast to the often-heard views that robots will replace (替换) human workers, research firm Gartner predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) may actually create more jobs than it’s expected to take away. (与经常听到的机器人将取代人类工人的观点相反，研究公司Gartner预测，人工智能创造的就业机会实际上可能会超过它所可能取代的就业机会。)”可知，Gartner认为人工智能创造的就业机会将多于减少的就业机会。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The public sector, health care and education are expected to get the most jobs, while manufacturing and transportation may be hit the hardest, said Gartner’s research director, Manjunath Bhat. (Gartner的研究主管Manjunath Bhat说，公共部门、医疗保健和教育预计将获得最多的就业机会，而制造业和运输业可能受到的打击最大。)”可知，公交车司机属于运输业，可能会失业。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Gartner’s positive predictions contrast with the warnings on the dangers of AI sounded by top technology industry voices such as Kai Fu Lee, the founder of venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures. He said robots are likely to replace 50 per cent of all jobs in the next decade. (高德纳的乐观预测与风险投资公司创新创投(innovation Ventures)创始人李开复等科技行业顶级人士对人工智能危险发出的警告形成鲜明对比。他说，未来十年，机器人可能会取代50%的工作。)”可知，李开复对人工智能发展表示担心。故选C项。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For the greatest value, focus on improving people with AI. Enrich people’s jobs, reimagine old tasks and create new industries. Change your culture to make it rapidly adaptable to AI related opportunities or threats.

人与社会 历史、社会与文化 如何应对网络欺凌 ★★★★
文章出处： https://au./articles/5-strategies-for-dealing-with-cyberbullying
When you're experiencing cyberbullying (网络欺凌), it can sometimes feel like no-one else understands, and like there’s nowhere to turn for help. 1 If you're wondering how to deal with cyberbullying, then please read on for our strategies.
2 The aim of a lot of cyberbullying is to annoy, upset or confuse the person who is being targeted, so that they react emotionally. If you’re being cyberbullied, keep in mind that the person who’s targeting you wants you to respond. Take that time to give yourself some emotional distance, and think carefully before you respond.
Follow up when you’re calmer
3 The idea at this stage is to get a proper feel for the situation before contacting the person who is cyberbullying you. Using calm language, try to work out the situation with the person without letting him/her get to you. They might not even realize that you interpreted their actions as cyberbullying, so a calm conversation is a good place to start.
Take screenshots
Screenshots are the best way for you to report an instance of cyberbullying. After all, the person who’s cyberbullying you may delete their comment or photo when they realize that it might get them in trouble. 4 Note if you take a screenshot on Snapchat, the other person will be notified that you did so.
Report and block
5 They don’t want you to experience cyberbullying, either, so they have a lot of built-in tools to keep you safe. If you’ve exhausted the reporting and blocking options within your social media platform and things are still really bad, you can make a report to The eSafety Commissioner by filling out the official form. It will works, too. （286 words）
A. Don’t respond immediately.
B. Report it to your teacher quickly.
C. After an hour, you’ll hopefully feel a little calmer.
D. But you're never alone in dealing with cyberbullying.
E. Try your best to respond in your social media account.
F. Most social media sites want to help you feel safe online.
G. Screenshots will ensure you always have a copy of what was said.
【答案】 1. D 2. A 3. C 4. G 5. F
【导语】 这是一篇说明文，讲述如何应对网络欺凌。
【1题详解】
考查行文一致。上一句说到了“no-one else understands, and like there’s nowhere to turn for help.”（没有人能理解，没地方可求助）。下一句“If you're wondering how to deal with cyberbullying, then read on for our cyberbullying strategies.”（如果你想知道如何应对网络欺凌，那就请阅读我们的应对策略。）回顾七个选项，只有选项D （But you're never alone in dealing with cyberbullying.在应对网络欺凌上，不止你一人。）在逻辑和语义上与前后句子一致。 故选D。
【2题详解】
考查主题句, 即段落的主旨大意。从最后两句“If you’re being cyberbullied, keep in mind that the person who’s targeting you wants you to respond. Take that time to give yourself some emotional distance, and think carefully before you respond. （如果你受到网络欺凌，务必记住：针对你的人希望你做出回应。留点时间给自己一些情感上的距离，并在做出回应之前仔细考虑。）两次出现了respond一词，也是一种暗示。故选A，内容上一致。
【3题详解】
由小标题 “Follow up when you’re calmer（冷静后再追查）” 可知，空格处是下一句 “The idea at this stage is to get a proper feel for the situation before contacting the person who is cyberbullying you. (这个阶段的想法就是调整心情，然后联系之前在网上欺负你的人)” 的前提条件。所以选C. After an hour, you’ll hopefully feel a little calmer. （一个小时后，你有望觉得稍冷静点）。
【4题详解】
词义猜测的运用。本题的关键词是“screenshots”。这个合成词是由screen+shot构成的。屏幕+shot(shoot的过去时过去分词，意思是“拍摄”)，再结合整个这段的内容，可以推断screenshots的意思为“屏幕截图; 截屏”，所以选 G. Screenshots will ensure you always have a copy of what was said. （截屏可以确保你可以将别人所说的话保存下来）。
【5题详解】
主要考查意义一致和指代的运用。空格后“They don’t want you to experience cyberbullying, either, so they have a lot of built-in tools to keep you safe. （他们也不想让你遭受网络欺凌，所以他们会嵌入一些保护工具来确保你安全。）”这个“they”其实只带的就是选项F的“Most social media sites”. 同时“They don’t want you to experience cyberbullying, either, so they have a lot of built-in tools to keep you safe.” 和“F. Most social media sites want to help you feel safe online.” 行文上形成互补。所以选F。
I. 教材语篇梳理, 每空不超过三个单词。
II. 读写结合，培养辩证思维能力。
结合本文及因特网相关常识，写一篇短文，简述因特网带来的弊端。200字左右。
Disadvantages of the Internet
The Internet has become a necessity these days. Gone are the days when it was only used at work places. Todays it is being used everywhere – at homes, offices, cafes and anywhere we go. While Internet has made life easier and more interesting, it also has a lot of disadvantages attached to itself.
One of the main disadvantages of the Internet is that it serves as a major distraction at work place. Whether it is a student or a working professional everyone these days is addicted to the Internet. While it is a great way to enhance your knowledge and grow professionally it can also distract you from work. As it is said people tend to adopt the bad habits faster, so, instead of making the most of the information available on the Internet to improve their knowledge and skills, people usually fall prey to the numerous sources of entertainment the Internet offers. From QQ to WeChat to TikTok, from gaming to watching videos, from listening to music to overspending while shopping online, from tracking or following their relatives and friends online to copying their lifestyle – people, these days, indulge in such useless activities and their work/studies take a back seat. Apart from this, hacking, junk email, endless ads, online cheating and other such notorious activities have also become quite common.
Does the number of disadvantages of the Internet outweigh its advantages I am looking forward to your opinion. （239 words）
阅读微技能：主题句(段落大意) 本单元的语篇类型有议论文、说明文、图标、博客等。其中Reading部分是一篇议论文，结构清晰，逻辑缜密，实例典型，比较得当，通俗易懂。在肯定互联网给人类带来便捷的同时，也指出了其引发的问题, 并由此引导读者去思考，辩证地看待因特网，培养他们的批判性思维能力。在阅读过程中，注意发现每段的主题句，以及如何用实例等方法来进行论证，增强说服力。 文章的段落通常都有主题句，可能在段首、段中或段尾。（也有隐含在段落中，不直接出现，需读者自己归纳总结的。）然后再用细节和具体例子支持段落的主题句，展开论证等。阅读理解中，段落大意题考查的就是段落的主题句，只不过大多数情况是：试题不直接给出主题句。 I. 阅读以下段落，找出其主题句, 用下划线标出；如果原文没有出现，用自己的话写出。 Passage 1 Sometimes it is hard to fall asleep. Maybe you are not sleepy, or maybe you are thinking about what happened during the day. You can also lie awake if a big event, like a test or a party, is happening the next day. There are several things you can do to try and fall asleep. You can try counting sheep, or just counting, which will keep your mind busy with a repetitious activity. Sometimes listening to soft music or gentle sounds, like rain, helps. You can even try telling yourself a story, which may distract your mind enough that you will be asleep in no time. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2 There are many reasons why I like wearing a uniform to school. First of all, it saves time. I don’t have to spend time picking out my clothes every morning. Wearing a uniform also saves money. It’s cheaper to purchase a new uniform than to go out and buy lots of school clothes. In addition, I don’t have the pressure of keeping up with the latest styles. Most importantly, wearing a school uniform gives me a sense that I belong. I really think that it adds to the feeling of school spirit and community. Anyhow, I am happy that we have to wear a uniform to school. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 My first day of college was a disaster. First, I went to the wrong classroom for math. I was sitting in the class, surrounded by people taking notes and paying attention to how to do equations, which would have been okay if I was supposed to be in an algebra class. In reality, I was supposed to be in geometry, and when I discovered my error, I had already missed the first twenty minutes of a one-hour class. When I got to the correct class, all twenty-five students turned and looked at me as the teacher said, "You're late." That would have been bad enough, but in my next class my history teacher spoke so fast I could not follow most of what they said. The only thing I did hear was that we were having a quiz tomorrow over today’s lecture. My day seemed to be going better during botany class, that is, until we visited the lab. I had a sneezing fit because of one of the plants in the lab and had to leave the room. When I finally finished my classes for the day, I discovered I had locked my keys in the car and had to wait for my brother to bring another set. I really the rest will be better. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 4 I’d like to introduce my hometown to you. First, it is noted for the Wheaton River, which is very wide and beautiful. On either side of this river, which is 175 feet wide, are many willow trees which have long branches that can move gracefully in the wind. In autumn the leaves of these trees fall and cover the riverbanks like golden snow. Also, on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill, which is unusual because it is very steep. Even though it is steep, climbing this hill is not dangerous, because there are some firm rocks along the sides that can be used as stairs. There are no trees around this hill, so it stands clearly against the sky and can be seen from many miles away. The third amazing feature is the Big Old Tree. This tree stands two hundred feet tall and is probably about six hundred years old. These three landmarks are truly amazing and make my hometown a famous place. So we have thousands of tourists every year. My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features. II. 阅读理解，选出最佳选项。 Anthony’s teacher, Mr. Rivera, gave the class a different kind of homework assignment. The assignment was to watch the weather report on television every night for a week. Mr. Rivera told the students some things to listen for as they watched each night’s report. He also gave them a worksheet to fill out while they watched. Mr. Rivera said to look at the large weather map that they would see behind the weather reporter. He told them that they might see a large blue line or a large red line on the map. There might be both a blue line and a red line. He said that a blue line is a high pressure area that usually brings dry weather. A red line is a low pressure area that usually brings wet weather.

人与自我 生活与学习 融入新环境 ★★★★
（2021·全国甲卷C篇）
When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam (横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving (穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded (滑) up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.” (332 words)
15．What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London
A．He felt disappointed. B．He gave up his hobby.
C．He liked the weather there. D．He had disagreements with his family.
16．What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean
A．Be careful! B．Well done! C．No way! D．Don’t worry!
17．Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London
A．To join the skateboarding. B．To make new friends.
C．To learn more tricks. D．To relive his childhood days
18．What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A．Children should learn a second language.
B．Sport is necessary for children’s health.
C．Children need a sense of belonging.
D．Seeing the world is a must for children.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者自己的经历，起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。
15．【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. (除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措)” 可知，作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙滩，不能很好的融入到新的城市，感到很沮丧。故选A。
16．【答案】B
【解析】词句猜测题。根据画线词前文“A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!”(几分钟后，当我学会这个技巧时，我的朋友们敲着他们的板子大声喊道：“做得好！做得好！做得好！)”以及后文“And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. (那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家)”可知，作者掌握了滑板落地技巧，因此他的朋友大声欢呼，因此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义。故选B。
17．【答案】D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.” (我告诉他：“我20年前经常在这里玩滑板，” 他缓慢地开始向我点头：“嗨，你好!”)” 可推知，作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆。故选D。
18．【答案】C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery. (除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措。直到我有了一个发现)”以及文章第二段 “Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. (泰晤士河东段的南岸，是英国滑板运动的中心，在那里，滑板不断的碰撞声让你的脑袋嗡嗡作响。我喜欢那里。我很快就和当地的滑板手交了朋友)”及文章倒数第二段“When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up. (我15岁时，我全家搬到了华盛顿。我试着在那里玩滑板，但当地人远不那么热情。几年之内，我就放弃了)” 以及文章最后一段“When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. (当我2004年回到伦敦时，我发现自己在南岸闲逛，在那里呆了几个小时。从那以后，我已经回去好几次了，最近一次是今年春天)” 可知，作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。但是搬去华盛顿，因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友，几年之后就不再玩滑板，作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在于一个孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历，作者要表达的是，归属感对于孩子是很重要的。故选C。

人与自我 做人与做事 一个简单的写作练习帮助你增强自信 ★★★★
（2023·新高考卷I阅读理解七选五） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 16 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 17 Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 18
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 19 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 20 We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. (246 words)
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality.
【导语】学会宽恕是放下对伤害或冤枉自己的人所产生的怨恨、愤怒或负面情绪的行为。它包括承认所造成的痛苦，但选择释放情感负担，不寻求报复或怀恨。个人原谅是一个深层次的个人过程，可以带来内心的平静、愈合和情感自由。它并不意味着对伤害你的人的行为表示宽恕或遗忘，而是选择释放与事件相关的负面情绪，并找到一种更健康、积极的方式向前迈进。
【详解】
16【答案】D
根据空前内容“Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err
(犯错) is human.(为错误承担责任是积极的一步，但不要因此而自责。人孰能无过。)” 可知，作者认为人都
会犯错，勇于承担责任固然重要，但是也不要因此而过于自责。结合空后 “You can use the following writing
exercise to help you do this. (你可以使用下面的写作练习来帮助你做到这一点。)” 中的“do this”以及下文内容
可推断，空处应该内容和“不要太自责”相似。选项D“It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. (宽
恕自己也同样重要。) 与“不要太自责”语意相近，起承上启下的作用。故选D。
17【答案】B
根据空前内容“In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths. ” (在日记或纸上写上“个
人优点”。)” 以及空后内容 “Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don’t
have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. (你有爱心吗？有创造力吗？你
慷慨吗？是一个好的倾听者？与人相处很有趣吗？它们不一定要改变世界，只要你个性中让你感到自豪的
方面就行。)” 可知，空处指的是列出一些你个性中的优点。选项B“Now list all the characteristics you like about
yourself. (现在列出所有你喜欢的自己身上的特点。)” 符合上下文内容，下文内容具体解释那些是优点。故
选B。
18【答案】F
根据上文内容 “At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive
things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did
the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. (在第二页的顶
部，写上“善举”的标题。在这张单子上，列出你为别人做过的所有积极的事情。它可能是当你帮助朋友做作
业的时候，当你没有被要求却主动熨衣服的时候，或者当你在家人累了一天之后烤饼干的时候。)” 可知，
本段主要讲述的是列出一些自己所做的好事。选项F “Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it
down. (不管是什么，不管它看起来有多小，都要把它写下来。)”与上文内容一致，讲述的是不管你所做的事
情不管有多小，只要是好的事情，都记下来。故选F。
19【答案】C
根据空后内容“That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your
personality that shine through.(这样，你们就可以交换意见，谈谈是什么让你们每个人都与众不同，以及你们
个性中闪光的方面。)”可知，空处提到了某种方式，这种方式会使得你和朋友们一起交换意见等。 选项C
“They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. (他们甚至可能想试一试做练习。)” 符合语境，C项中
的“they”与空前的“You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. (你可以让朋友或家人帮你
增加你的列表内容。)” 中的“a friend or family member” 保持一致，同时选项C和下文“In fact, don’t wait until
you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. (事实上，不要等到你犯了
错误才去尝试这个——这是一个在任何时候都能增强自信的好方法。)” 中的“this”一致。故选C。
20【答案】G
根据空前内容“It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. (大多数人不是从他们的成功中学习，而是从他们的错误中学习，这是陈词滥调。但事实是，这是真的。)” 可知，作者认为人是从错误中学习。选项G “Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. (不管你犯了什么错误，记住这不是你性格中固定的一面。)” 符合语境，G项中的“isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality” 和空后内容 “We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. (我们一直在改变和学习，错误是一种积极的发展和成长的方式。)” 保持一致，指的都是犯错并不是性格中固有的一面，我们是通过错误来成长。故选G。

语篇品读 Internet Has Changed Our Everyday Life 文章出处：https://www./ The Internet has turned our existence upside down. It has revolutionized communications, to the extent that it is now our preferred medium of everyday communication. In almost everything we do, we use the Internet. Ordering a pizza, buying a television, sharing a moment with a friend, sending a picture over instant messaging. Before the Internet, if you wanted to keep up with the news, you had to walk down to the newsstand when it opened in the morning and buy a local edition reporting what had happened the previous day. But today a click or two is enough to read your local paper and any news source from anywhere in the world, updated up to the minute. The Internet was no longer concerned with information exchange alone: it was a sophisticated multidisciplinary tool enabling individuals to create content, communicate with one another, and even escape reality. Today, we can send data from one end of the world to the other in a matter of seconds, make online presentations, live in parallel “game worlds,” and use pictures, video, sound, and text to share our real lives, our genuine identity. Personal stories go public; local issues become global. The rise of the Internet has sparked a debate about how online communication affects social relationships. The Internet frees us from geographic fetters and brings us together in topic-based communities that are not tied down to any specific place. Ours is a networked, globalized society connected by new technologies. The Internet is the tool we use to interact with one another, and accordingly poses new challenges to privacy and security. （272 words） 全文翻译 因特网改变了我们的日常生活 互联网颠覆了我们的生存方式。它彻底改变了通信方式，以至于它现在成为我们日常通信的首选媒介。我们所做的几乎所有事情都使用互联网。订购披萨、购买电视、与朋友分享朋友圈、通过即时通信发送图片。在互联网出现之前，如果你想了解新闻，你必须在早上报刊亭开门时，走到那里去购买一份本地当天的报告，来了解前一天发生的事情。但如今，只需点击一两下鼠标，就足以阅读当地报纸和世界任何地方的任何新闻，并实时更新。 互联网不再仅仅关注信息交换：它是一种复杂的多学科工具，使个人能够创建内容、相互交流，甚至逃避现实。今天，我们可以在几秒钟内将数据从世界的一端发送到另一端，进行在线演示，生活在并行的“游戏世界”中，并使用图片、视频、声音和文本来分享我们的真实生活、我们的真实身份。个人经历得以公开；局部问题变成了全球化。 互联网的兴起引发了关于在线交流如何影响社会关系的争论。互联网使我们摆脱了地理束缚，并将我们聚集在不受任何特定地点限制的基于主题的社区中。我们的社会是一个由新技术连接起来的网络化、全球化的社会。互联网是我们用来相互交流的工具，因此对隐私和安全提出了新的挑战。

In contrast to the often heard views that robots will replace human workers, research firm Gartner predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) may actually create more jobs than it’s expected to take away. By 2020, artificial intelligence has created 2.3 million jobs, going beyond the 1.8 million that it has replaced, the company said in a recent report. In the following five years to 2025, net (净得的) new jobs created in relation to AI will reach 2 million, according to the report.
The number of jobs affected will be different from industry to industry. The public sector, health care and education are expected to get the most jobs, while manufacturing and transportation may be hit the hardest, said Gartner’s research director, Manjunath Bhat.
“Robots are not here to take away our jobs, they’re here to give us a promotion—I think that’s the way we should start looking at AI,” Bhat told reporters on Tuesday.
Gartner’s positive predictions contrast with the warnings on the dangers of AI sounded by top technology industry voices such as Kai Fu Lee, the founder of venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures. He said robots are likely to replace 50 per cent of all jobs in the next decade.
Gartner admitted in its report that AI would cut millions of middle and low level positions. But it stressed that more new jobs would be created, including highly skilled jobs, management positions and even low skilled jobs.
“IT leaders should not only focus on the expected increase of jobs,” the report said. “For the greatest value, focus on improving people with AI. Enrich people’s jobs, reimagine old tasks and create new industries. Change your culture to make it rapidly adaptable to AI related opportunities or threats.”
5. What does Gartner think of AI
A. Human workers will be out of work. B. AI will create more jobs than it cuts.
C. AI will run out of human control. D. New industries will replace old ones.
6. Who will probably suffer job loss according to Gartner
A. Teachers. B. Dentists. C. Bus drivers. D. Social workers.
7. What’s Kai Fu Lee’s attitude towards AI development
A. Uncertain. B. Hopeful. C. Worried. D. Confused.
8. What does Gartner suggest IT leaders do in the future
A. Make use of new industry opportunities.
B. Equip people with training programs.
C. Stop old business and turn to the new one.
D. Welcome AI and adapt to the challenge.

文章出处： https://au./articles/5-strategies-for-dealing-with-cyberbullying
When you're experiencing cyberbullying (网络欺凌), it can sometimes feel like no-one else understands, and like there’s nowhere to turn for help. 1 If you're wondering how to deal with cyberbullying, then please read on for our strategies.
2 The aim of a lot of cyberbullying is to annoy, upset or confuse the person who is being targeted, so that they react emotionally. If you’re being cyberbullied, keep in mind that the person who’s targeting you wants you to respond. Take that time to give yourself some emotional distance, and think carefully before you respond.
Follow up when you’re calmer
3 The idea at this stage is to get a proper feel for the situation before contacting the person who is cyberbullying you. Using calm language, try to work out the situation with the person without letting him/her get to you. They might not even realize that you interpreted their actions as cyberbullying, so a calm conversation is a good place to start.
Take screenshots
Screenshots are the best way for you to report an instance of cyberbullying. After all, the person who’s cyberbullying you may delete their comment or photo when they realize that it might get them in trouble. 4 Note if you take a screenshot on Snapchat, the other person will be notified that you did so.
Report and block
5 They don’t want you to experience cyberbullying, either, so they have a lot of built-in tools to keep you safe. If you’ve exhausted the reporting and blocking options within your social media platform and things are still really bad, you can make a report to The eSafety Commissioner by filling out the official form. It will works, too. （286 words）
A. Don’t respond immediately.
B. Report it to your teacher quickly.
C. After an hour, you’ll hopefully feel a little calmer.
D. But you're never alone in dealing with cyberbullying.
E. Try your best to respond in your social media account.
F. Most social media sites want to help you feel safe online.
G. Screenshots will ensure you always have a copy of what was said.
I. 教材语篇梳理, 每空不超过三个单词。
II. 读写结合，培养辩证思维能力。
结合本文及因特网相关常识，写一篇短文，简述因特网带来的弊端。200字左右。
Disadvantages of the Internet
The Internet has become a necessity these days. Gone are the days when it was only used at work places. Todays it is being used everywhere – at homes, offices, cafes and anywhere we go. While Internet has made life easier and more interesting, it also has a lot of disadvantages attached to itself.
One of the main disadvantages of the Internet is that it serves as a major distraction at work place. Whether it is a student or a working professional everyone these days is addicted to the Internet. While it is a great way to enhance your knowledge and grow professionally it can also distract you from work. As it is said people tend to adopt the bad habits faster, so, instead of making the most of the information available on the Internet to improve their knowledge and skills, people usually fall prey to the numerous sources of entertainment the Internet offers. From QQ to WeChat to TikTok, from gaming to watching videos, from listening to music to overspending while shopping online, from tracking or following their relatives and friends online to copying their lifestyle – people, these days, indulge in such useless activities and their work/studies take a back seat. Apart from this, hacking, junk email, endless ads, online cheating and other such notorious activities have also become quite common.
Does the number of disadvantages of the Internet outweigh its advantages I am looking forward to your opinion. （239 words）

Maybe you are not sleepy, or maybe you are thinking about what happened during the day. You can also lie awake if a big event, like a test or a party, is happening the next day. There are several things you can do to try and fall asleep. You can try counting sheep, or just counting, which will keep your mind busy with a repetitious activity. Sometimes listening to soft music or gentle sounds, like rain, helps. You can even try telling yourself a story, which may distract your mind enough that you will be asleep in no time. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2 There are many reasons why I like wearing a uniform to school. First of all, it saves time. I don’t have to spend time picking out my clothes every morning. Wearing a uniform also saves money. It’s cheaper to purchase a new uniform than to go out and buy lots of school clothes. In addition, I don’t have the pressure of keeping up with the latest styles. Most importantly, wearing a school uniform gives me a sense that I belong. I really think that it adds to the feeling of school spirit and community. Anyhow, I am happy that we have to wear a uniform to school. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 My first day of college was a disaster. First, I went to the wrong classroom for math. I was sitting in the class, surrounded by people taking notes and paying attention to how to do equations, which would have been okay if I was supposed to be in an algebra class. In reality, I was supposed to be in geometry, and when I discovered my error, I had already missed the first twenty minutes of a one-hour class. When I got to the correct class, all twenty-five students turned and looked at me as the teacher said, "You're late." That would have been bad enough, but in my next class my history teacher spoke so fast I could not follow most of what they said. The only thing I did hear was that we were having a quiz tomorrow over today’s lecture. My day seemed to be going better during botany class, that is, until we visited the lab. I had a sneezing fit because of one of the plants in the lab and had to leave the room. When I finally finished my classes for the day, I discovered I had locked my keys in the car and had to wait for my brother to bring another set. I really the rest will be better. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 4 I’d like to introduce my hometown to you. First, it is noted for the Wheaton River, which is very wide and beautiful. On either side of this river, which is 175 feet wide, are many willow trees which have long branches that can move gracefully in the wind. In autumn the leaves of these trees fall and cover the riverbanks like golden snow. Also, on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill, which is unusual because it is very steep. Even though it is steep, climbing this hill is not dangerous, because there are some firm rocks along the sides that can be used as stairs. There are no trees around this hill, so it stands clearly against the sky and can be seen from many miles away. The third amazing feature is the Big Old Tree. This tree stands two hundred feet tall and is probably about six hundred years old. These three landmarks are truly amazing and make my hometown a famous place. So we have thousands of tourists every year. II. 阅读理解，选出最佳选项。 Anthony’s teacher, Mr. Rivera, gave the class a different kind of homework assignment. The assignment was to watch the weather report on television every night for a week. Mr. Rivera told the students some things to listen for as they watched each night’s report. He also gave them a worksheet to fill out while they watched. Mr. Rivera said to look at the large weather map that they would see behind the weather reporter. He told them that they might see a large blue line or a large red line on the map. There might be both a blue line and a red line. He said that a blue line is a high pressure area that usually brings dry weather. A red line is a low pressure area that usually brings wet weather.

（2021·全国甲卷C篇）
When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam (横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving (穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded (滑) up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.” (332 words)
15．What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London
A．He felt disappointed. B．He gave up his hobby.
C．He liked the weather there. D．He had disagreements with his family.
16．What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean
A．Be careful! B．Well done! C．No way! D．Don’t worry!
17．Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London
A．To join the skateboarding. B．To make new friends.
C．To learn more tricks. D．To relive his childhood days
18．What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A．Children should learn a second language.
B．Sport is necessary for children’s health.
C．Children need a sense of belonging.
D．Seeing the world is a must for children.

Personal Forgiveness
Taking responsibility for mistakes is a positive step, but don’t beat yourself up about them. To err (犯错) is human. 16 You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this.
In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” 17 Are you caring Creative Generous A good listener Fun to be around They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of.
At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. 18
You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. 19 That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.
It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. 20 We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. (246 words)
A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way.
B. Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself.
C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.
D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness.
E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it.
F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down.
G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality.
