Internet use became popular in the 1990s. As it 13．(1分), it changed the way we get information. It also changed the way we communicate. Now, some scientists believe that the use of the Internet may be changing our brains. We might learn and interact differently.

Why do some scientists believe this? Many people spend hours on the Internet each day. They spend less time doing things that may 14．different parts of their brains. As a result, people lose their social skills. Without using these skills, parts of the brain may become 15．(1分). This could lead to social awkwardness. It might also cause people to spend too much time alone. Some scientists say the 16．is strongest in so-called “digital natives”. These are people in their teens and 20s who have grown up with the Internet.

No one is sure about how a person’s 17．affect the brain. Some scientists suggest that Internet use is 18．good for the brain. Mizuko Ito says that by hanging out online with friends, teens learn important skills. For example, teens become 19．what is OK to post on the Internet.

What do teens think of all of this? A 19-year-old boy John Rowe believes that the effect of the Internet depends entirely on the person. Rowe is a “digital native”. He spends between 6 and 12 hours on the Internet each day. For part of that time, he plays games and sends instant 20．to his friends. Has this changed his social skills? He himself says that it has not. He also spends several hours with his friends each day. This gives him a chance to communicate face to face. “If I didn’t actively go out and try to spend time with friends, I wouldn’t have the social skills that I do,”said Rowe. “You can’t just give up on having normal friends that you see each day.”

Some literary characters capture the imagination of readers. Their adventures, experiences, 21．and personalities make them unforgettable. Detective Sherlock Holmes is one of these. Author Arthur Conan Doyle created Holmes in 1887. He was intelligent. His ability to notice details, put them together and 22．amazed everyone. He first appeared in the story A Study in Scarlet. The story also introduced Dr. John Watson and how he came to live with Holmes and be part of his life. Watson observes that many interesting people visit Holmes at 23．moments during the day.

Watson tells people about this first case which involves the murders of two men. The story is 24．two parts. In the first part, Holmes solves the crime and captures the killer. The second part explains why the killer murdered his victims.

The Red-headed League is on many people's lists of their favorite Holmes stories. In this story, red-headed businessman Jabez Wilson came to Holmes for help. Several weeks before, Wilson's young assistant, Vincent Spaulding, showed him a newspaper advertisement. The advertisement said a company called the Red-headed League offered highly paid work to a red-headed man. Wilson got the job and was paid 4 pounds a week for short periods of afternoon work. Then 25．(1分), with no notice, the job stopped. Wilson wanted to discover what happened. Holmes asked for a description of Spaulding and went to see him at Wilson's shop. He noticed that the knees of Spaulding's 26．were dirty. Then Holmes tapped on the pavement in front of Wilson's shop. Next, he called a police inspector and the manager of the bank that was behind Wilson's shop. The four men hid 27．and waited. Soon two men, one of whom was Spaulding, showed up from a tunnel cut into the vault's floor and were captured. The two men had 28．the company to keep Wilson away while they dug the tunnel to the bank vault(金库).

(本题12分)    When you think of a journalist, do you see a reporter with a pen and paper? Writing is one way to tell a story, but some stories are told without    47   .

Photojournalists are reporters too. They use a camera to capture a story in photographs    48    a pen and paper. You can see their work in the pictures that appear with an article. Pictures help readers visualize the things being described. Photojournalists also create photo essays, which tell a story with photos.

Alice Aedy is a photojournalist and documentary filmmaker based in London, England. She specializes in stories about social justice and human rights, but she also covers    49    issues. Aedy said that she's "passionate about climate change" because of how it affects people's lives.

Photojournalism helps people    50    current events by giving context to important moments in history. So photojournalists aren't just photographers. They're storytellers. Like other reporters, they need to be on the scene and able to interview people about what's happening.

Aedy has traveled the world to do her reporting. While working, she spends as much time as she can in the country where a story is taking place and does lots of interviews to get the full story. "I want my photos to build empathy（共鸣）," she says, "and make people care."

Aedy says that photography, like all forms of media, should be viewed with a    51    eye. Viewers should ask themselves questions like "What is the context of the photo? When and where was it taken? Was the photo taken with the permission of its subjects? Why was it taken?"

It's also important for viewers to take time to think about how a photograph makes them    52   . "We're bombarded（轰炸）with images every day," Aedy says. "So my hope is that whatever you're looking at, you just truly engage."

47．A．words B．pens C．pictures D．writers

48．A．in addition to B．instead of C．except for D．because of

49．A．business B．environment C．technology D．entertainment

50．A．watch B．hear C．explain D．understand

51．A．critical B．close C．friendly D．real

52．A．judge B．decide C．feel D．observe

七、短文汉语提示填空(共14分)

(本题14分)    If you think of the jobs that robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but others need human connection and creativity. But are we under estimating（低估）what robots can do? In some cases, they already p 53． better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more c 54． sharing their private information   with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?

British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He p 55．  robots will do most work of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain s 56．. Then they will adapt（使…适应）the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever understand other people’s feelings and be able to really connect with humans like another human can.

One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. Teachers all over the world are l 57． . In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9 to 16 percent of children under the age   of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t suffer from stress, or get t 58． , or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.

Teaching is generally recognized as difficult and teachers feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots take the place of teachers?” but “How can robots help teachers?” Office workers can use software to do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, i  59． more than 11  hours a  week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

八、阅读回答问题(共12分)

(本题12分)Dear Mr. Henshaw,

I finished Beggar Bears in two nights. It is a really good book. At first, I was surprised because it wasn’t funny like your other books, but then I got to thinking (you said readers should think) and decided a book doesn’t have to be funny to be good, although it often helps. This book did not need to be funny.

In the first Chapter I thought it was going to be funny. I guess I expected it because of your other books and the mother bear was teaching her cubs to beg from tourists in Yellowstone Park. Then when the mother died because a stupid tourist fed her a cupcake in a plastic bag and she ate the bag, too, I knew this was going to be a sad book. Winter was coming on, tourists were leaving the park and the little bears didn’t know how to look for food for themselves. When they hibernated (冬眠) and then woke up in the middle of winter because they had eaten all the wrong things and hadn’t stored up enough fat, I almost cried. I sure was relieved when the nice ranger (护林员) and his boy found the young bears and fed them and the next summer taught them to hunt for the right things to eat.

I wonder what happens to the fathers of bears. Do they just go away?

Sometimes I lie awake listening to the gas station “pingping”, and I am upset because I am afraid something might happen to Mom. She is so little compared to most moms, and she works so hard. I don’t think Dad is much interested in me. He didn’t phone when he said he would.

I hope that ________.

Sincerely,

Leigh Botts
