（2023春·江苏南京·高一统考期末）Technology has made online friendships possible. Online friends are people who have known each other through the Internet. Are online friendships as beneficial as face-to-face friendships
When you use social networking websites and chat rooms, you can easily find people with similar interests and hobbies. Making friends on the Internet is especially good for shy people who feel uncomfortable in social situations. It’s often easier to share thoughts and feelings online. What’s more, online friends can make people feel less lonely and help them solve problems.
Although the Internet can encourage friendships, it has a major disadvantage. It’s much easier for some people to cheat others because they are not face to face. Online friends only tell you what they want you to know. They sometimes exaggerate their good qualities and hide the less positive ones, so you can’t be sure of what they really like.
Some feel as strongly about their online friends as they do about their offline friends. But it’s not unusual for online friends to become face-to-face friends. However, there are many people who believe that it’s not possible for people to have deep relationships with online friends.

（2022秋·山东滨州·高一统考期中）There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”
Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”
Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.
Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.

（2022秋·黑龙江佳木斯·高一校考期中）Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.
On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults (成年人) have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich.
However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people.
Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond (超过) this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful.
If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left How many of these people are actually good friends According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.
9．What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about
A．The number of friends you should have.
B．The advantages of having a lot of friends.
C．Some social skills you may need at work.
D．Some useful advice on how to make friends.
10．According to the American study, the most popular students at school ________.
A．are likely to spend more money
B．may not be as popular at work
C．seem to get better paid jobs
D．will work harder in later years
11．What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．10. B．35.
C．100. D．150.
12．What does the text mainly want to show
A．You need to spend more time with your friends.
B．There is a lot of research on the influence of friends.
C．Friends are sometimes more important than family.
D．It’s more important to have good friends than lots of friends.
（2023秋·安徽合肥·高二期中）“WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH ” says a voice from an iPhone. It’s Siri, and she’s ready to follow your voice commands to search the Internet, text someone, or play a song. Siri is an example of artificial intelligence(AI), or a computer program that can think. The way Siri thinks is very different from how a person thinks. She doesn’t have a brain. Instead, she relies on code in a computer program to understand speech and answer questions. And some questions are still too difficult for her to answer.
However, AI programs like Siri are getting smarter and smarter every year. In 2011, an AI named Watson defeated two human champions on the quiz show Jeopardy! Computer programs can also drive cars, perform science experiments, and produce their own artwork.
Someday, artificial intelligence will most likely surpass human intelligence. Once this happens, computers will think, plan, and act at a level that human beings can’t understand. In his book Superintelligence, Nick Bostrom writes, “As the fate of the gorillas now depends more on us humans than on the gorillas themselves, so the fate of our species would depend on the actions of the machine superintelligence.”
If a superintelligence wanted to rule the world, Bostrom argues, it would easily do so. It could also wipe out all humans. Or just ignore us. Whatever it did, we likely wouldn’t have much control. He’s not the only one worrying. In 2015, a group of great scientists, including Stephen Hawking, wrote an open letter that asks anyone researching AI to proceed carefully. AI has the potential to benefit society greatly, but “our AI systems must do what we want them to do.” they write. What do you think If people create a super intelligent AI, will we be able to control it
What will happen to us if a superintelligent AI starts making decisions on its own
13．What can Siri do now according to the passage
A．She can think like a human. B．She can answer all kinds of questions.
C．She can follow your voice commands. D．She can make decisions on her own.
14．What does the writer want to show by mentioning AI Watson
A．AI is getting increasingly smart. B．Computer science is developing fast.
C．AI performs best in the quiz show Jeopardy. D．Computer programs can do a variety of jobs.
15．What does the underlined word “surpass” mean in paragraph 3
A．Be similar to. B．Do better than. C．Compete against. D．Be junior to.
16．What is Nick Bostrom’s attitude towards superintelligence
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Cautious. D．Objective.

（2023·高一单元测试）While Issey Miyake’s black turtlenecks are well known because of their connection with former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, the influence that the famous Japanese designer had on Apple could have been even larger, with Jobs first wanting Miyake to create a uniform for all Apple employees.
Miyake died from liver cancer at age 84 on Aug. 5. As the news of his death has spread, many are revisiting the designer’s work, including his connection to Jobs.
In his biography (传记) of Jobs, author Walter Isaacson details how the great man found himself in the company of Miyake as Jobs was attracted to the Japanese style. Isaacson details how the idea for an Apple uniform came from a trip to Japan in the 1980s when Jobs visited Sony and saw that all workers in the factories were wearing matching uniforms. Jobs asked Akio Morita, then the chairman of Sony, about it.
“He looked very ashamed and told me that after the war, no one had any clothes, and companies like Sony had to give their workers something to wear each day.” Jobs said.
Miyake had worked with Sony to create a brownish-grey nylon jacket that easily turned into a vest (背心) courtesy of removable sleeves. Isaacson wrote that the uniforms became part of Sony’s “signature (签名) style” and it became a way of connecting workers to the company. “I decided that I wanted that type of connection for Apple.” Jobs said, “So I called Issey and asked him to design a vest for Apple. I came back with some samples and told everyone it would be great if we would all wear these vests. Oh man, I get booed off the stage. Everybody hated the idea.”
An Apple uniform from Miyake wasn’t meant to be, but it opened the door to a friendship between Miyake and Jobs and finally a uniform for Jobs himself that included Miyake’s black turtlenecks and Levi’s 501 classic fit jeans.
20．What makes Miyake known to the public
A．His designing work. B．His connection to Jobs.

（2023秋·广东广州·高一广州市第三中学校考阶段练习）Educators today are more and more often heard to say that computer literacy is absolutely necessary for college students. Many even argue that each incoming freshman should have his or her own microcomputer. What advantages do computers offer the college students
Any student who has used a word processor will know one compelling reason to use a computer: to write papers. Although not all students feel comfortable posing on a word processor, most find revising and editing much easier on it. One can alter, insert, or delete just by pressing a few keys, thus ridding students of the need to rewrite or retype. Furthermore, since the revision process is less difficult, students are more likely to revise as often as is necessary to end up with the best paper possible. For these reasons, many freshman English courses require the use of a word processor.
Computers are also useful in the context of language courses, where they are used to drill students in basic skills. Software programs strengthen ESL (English as a Second Language) instruction, as well as instruction in French, German, Spanish, and other languages. By using these programs on a regular basis, students can improve their skills in a language while proceeding at their own pace.
Similarly, business and accounting students find that computer spreadsheet (电子表格) programs are all but important to many aspects of their work, while students pursuing careers in graphic arts, marketing, and public relations find that knowledge of computer graphic (绘图) is important. Education majors learn to develop grading systems using computers, while social science students use computers for analyzing and graphically displacing their research results.
It is no wonder then, that educators support the purchase and use of microcomputers by students. A useful tool, the computer can help students learn. And that is, after all, the reason for going to college.
24．According to the author, a word processor can be used to________.
A．revise and edit papers B．rewrite or retype papers
C．complete a freshman’s course D．improve students’ writing skills
25．According to the author, the reason for students to go to college is ________.
A．to learn something B．to perfect themselves
C．to improve computer skills D．to find one’s passions
26．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4
A．Educational experts have developed grading systems.
B．The computer has fund its way into social science.
C．Rarely do accounting students use computers.
D．computers benefit various majors in college.
27．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．More college students should major in computer science.
B．Machine learning and big data is the future of computer application.
C．Some computer programs can be employed to aid language learning.
D．Educators are reluctant to increase computer use in their own classroom.
（2023秋·高一单元测试）Technology is widely available to students in classrooms across the United States, a new study shows. Nearly nine in ten U. S. public school students say they use digital learning (数字化学习) tools at least a few days a week. And more than half of those who were questioned said they used digital technology to learn.
In the new survey, digital learning tools means technology. It includes websites, application software programs, and online classes, games, videos and programs. The survey found that classroom technology gets high marks from educators. At least eight in ten teachers and school leaders say they see great value in using classroom technology tools now and in the future.
When it comes to preparing students for future careers (职业), the study found that educators are likely to say technology is more effective than non-digital tools for connecting learning to students’ careers.
Derek Kelley of Virginia agrees. He manages technology for Fairfax County Public Schools, which serves nearly 200,000 students. He said, “The important thing is to help prepare the students for real world experience and knowledge about technology is something students need.”
In the report, more than half of the special education teachers questioned said technology could help their students. Tony Daniel, a special education teacher, agrees with that. He teaches children with learning difficulties at the Springfield Estates Elementary School in Springfield, Virginia.
Nearly all pupils say digital learning tools are fun. Most say the technology helps them learn things on their own and at their own speed.
Almost three-fourths of secondary students say the technology tools help them learn things on their own. Over 50% said they make school more interesting. 42% would like to use it more often at school, and only 8% said they would like to use them less. One thing everyone agrees on is that technology is here to stay in American classrooms.
28．What do educators think of technology according to paragraph 3
A．It saves a lot of learning time for students.
B．It mixes education with career more effectively.
C．It offers much fun to students in learning process.
D．It makes teachers and students communicate more easily.
29．What can digital learning tools do for pupils
A．Offer them high marks. B．Force them to learn at home.
C．Speed up their physical growth. D．Help them learn with their own steps.
