26、Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?
If yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly scroll down (向下滚动) the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates.
Despite the convenience smartphones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits.
As Sameer Samat, US tech Company Google’s vice president of product management, said in his speech at the 2018 Google I/O developer conference on May 8, 70 percent of people don’t want to spend so much time on their phones.
This is why during the conference Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new version (版本) of its Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.
It all starts with a bird’s-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phone and how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.
Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to launch the app until the next day.
But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notifications (通知). This is where the Shush feature comes in. It automatically (自动地) silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.
If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.
After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower?
【1】Who are the target users of Dashboard?
A．People who know little about smartphones.
B．People who have trouble dealing with stress.
C．People who are slow at searching for things online.
D．People who wish to manage the time they spend on their smartphone.
【2】What can Dashboard do?
A．Lock the phone at a certain time.
B．Limit some apps to certain users.
C．Limit the time certain apps can be used.
D．Silence app notifications at night.
【3】The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．serious.
B．careful.
C．prepared.
D．creative.
【4】What does the author think of Dashboard?
A．It’s not very useful.
B．It’s perfectly designed.
C．It should include more functions.
D．It may be helpful to some people.
27、2020 is special. When we dip into the model “suspended class, ongoing learning” during the pandemic(大流行）of NCP, have you thought of the inventors that supply us the convenience on the computers? Here, let’s know a respectable person who left us a few months ago.
Larry Tesler: computer scientist ,an icon of early computing, died at the age of 74 in this spring. Mr Tesler started working in Silicon Valley in the early 1960s, at a time when computers were inaccessible to the vast majority of people.It was thanks to his innovations ,which included the “cut”, “copy” and “paste” commands that the personal computer became simple to learn and use. Xerox, where Mr Tesler spent part of his career, paid tribute to him. “The inventor of cut/copy & paste, find & replace, and more, was former Xerox researcher Larry Tesler,” the company tweeted. “Your workday is easier thanks to his revolutionary ideas.”
Mr Tesler was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1945, and studied at Stanford University in California. After graduating, he specialised in user interface(界面) design, that is, making computer systems more user-friendly. He worked for a number of major tech firms during his long career. He started at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (Parc), before Steve Jobs invited him for Apple, where he spent 17 years and rose to chief scientist. After leaving Apple he set up an education firm, and worked for brief periods at Amazon and Yahoo.
In 2012, he told the BBC of Silicon Valley: “There’s almost a custom -- after you’ve made some money, you don’t just retire, you spend your time funding other companies.”
“There’s a very strong element of excitement, of being able to share what you’ve learned with the next generation.” he added.
【1】Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
A．Mr Tesler innovated the computer.
B．Mr Tesler invented the “cut”, “copy” and “paste” commands.
C．Mr Tesler spent part of his career as a data man in Xerox company.
D．Most people have many chances to use computers in the early 1960s.
【2】How many companies did Larry Tesler once worked in ?
A．three
B．four
C．five
D．six
【3】Which word can best describe Mr Tesler as a scientist?
A．selfless
B．friendly
C．special
D．humorous
【4】What will the passage continue to talk about after the last paragraph?
A．Educating the next generation.
B．Discussing his retired life.
C．Showing the prospect of the Silicon Valley.
D．Sharing his knowledge with the next generation.
28、 You wait 50 years for a flying car,and then three come along at once.First up is Vahana:an airbus project to develop batterypowered,single- seater aircraft,designed to follow predetermined routes,only changing directions to avoid accidents.Propellers(螺旋桨)on the wings will let it take off and land without a runway.
Second,Dubai recently announced plans to use self-controlled air taxis as a way to beat the terrible traffic jams.The Volocopter is an electric multi-copter with 18 propellers and a fully self-controlled system.It’s essentially a self-controlled aircraft with two seats and up to 30 minutes of flying time.
But,if you want something more like the flying cars of 1950s science fiction,try Urban Aeronautics’ Fancraft.The Israel-based company wants to realize the dream of”an aircraft that looks like the classic vision of a flying car:doesn’t have a wing,doesn’t have a propeller that can be seen,and can fly exactly from point to point,”says Janina Frankel-Yoeli,Urban Aeronautics’ vice president of marketing.Earlier flying cars needed runways to take off and land which was,as Frankel-Yoeli says,”not much better than owning a car and an aircraft.”To go from point to point requires vertical take-off and landing,but for many years that could only be done by helicopters or larger aircraft.Urban Aeronautics’ solution is to use light but powerful engines,lightweight materials,and a self-controlled system.Their fan design-propellers housed in some special tubes-is powerful but unstable,so the Fancraft would be challenging for a human to fly without any help.Instead,computer-aided control technology takes over the tiny,quick changes required to keep the car stable at speeds of 160km/h or more.
But don’t be glad too early yet.The main problem to a sky full of flying cars is rules.Not only will every aircraft need to pass strict safety tests,but a new system of air traffic control will be needed to deal with 3-D traffic jams above people who are not aware of what is happening in the sky.NASA is already working on that.Tests have shown that multiple unmanned(无人的) flying cars can communicate with each other to avoid accidents.In the meantime,flying cars will mainly be reserved for emergency services and a few VIPs.
【1】Vahana is different from the Volocopter in that____
A.it is power-free
B.it is self controlled
C.its routes are fixed
D.its propellers can be seen
【2】The underlined word”vertical”in the third paragraph most probably means____
A.going straight up or down
B.flying high and fast
C.going across back or forth
D.flying quietly and safely
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.NASA helps flying cars to communicate.
B.There will be no traffic jams if cars can fly.
C.Rules for flying cars have already been made.
D.It is unusual for ordinary people to use flying cars.
29、The fast spread of the virus has led most Chinese citizens to wear face masks in public to help reduce infections. The Beijing-based Hanwang Technology Ltd. says it has created a new facial recognition system that is the first to effectively identify people even if they are wearing masks.
China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence and facial recognition system. The new system is based on the existing technologies developed over the past 10 years.
“When wearing a mask, the recognition rate can reach about 95 percent, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” Hanwang’s vice president, Huang Lei, said. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5 percent. However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said.
Hanwang is now selling two main kinds of products that use the technology. One performs “single channel” recognition and the other is a “multi-channel” recognition, which can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people “within a second”.
Huang said officials can use Hanwang’s technology to compare images with ministry (部门) records on individuals in order to identify and track people as they move about. The system can identify crime suspects (嫌疑人), terrorists or make reports or warnings, he added.
While some citizens have expressed opposition to such tools, more people seem to have accepted the methods as a way to deal with the current health emergency.
So far, Huang says most interest in the new system has come from within China. But he sees the interest likely expanding if the virus continues to spread and the use of face masks increases.
【1】What do we know about the new facial recognition system?
A．It has no relation to the existing tech.
B．It is being used both at home and abroad.
C．It can record people’s temperature.
D．It can be used for many purposes.
【2】According to the passage, the new system will probably be most helpful for _______.
A．international companies
B．colleges and universities
C．the Ministry of Public Safety
D．the Ministry of Manpower
【3】What’s most people’s attitude towards the use of the new system?
A．Supportive.
B．Disapproving.
C．Uncaring.
D．Doubtful.
【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A．To show China’s technological advances.
B．To introduce a newly developed system.
C．To demonstrate the innovation of China.
D．To advertise a new tech-based product.
