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、 Do you want to control a device with your mind? Do you want to power your home with the energy of your own activities? These are two of the developments that experts at International Business Machines Company (IBM) think will become reality within the next five years. The technology company has released its latest “5 in 5” report.
The experts at IBM think people will soon be able to control many electronic devices simply by using their mind. They say people will soon have a way to just think about calling or emailing someone in order to make it happen.
Another prediction is a way for people to power their homes and offices using energy from activities like walking or running. Bernie Meyerson, IBM’s Vice President of Innovation, says this is known as micro-electronic generation.
Another prediction: passwords could soon become a thing of past. IBM says developments in biometric technology could soon make passwords unnecessary. Some of the most common biometrics used to identify people are fingerprints, face and voice recognition, and iris scans. The iris is the colored part of the eye. Bernie Meyerson says this technology will soon be more widely used by money machines and other devices.
The fourth prediction from the experts at IBM; better technology to prevent unwanted emails. Bernie Meyerson said, “As you get rid of emails that you don’t want to read, the device learns your habits and words for you as our assistant by eliminating stuff you never want anyway.”
The last prediction on IBM’s “5 in 5” list is an end to the “digital divide” between those who have technology and those who do not.
【1】According to Paragraph 2, you can control an electronic device by ________.
A. giving it a phone call
B. writing an email to it
C. ordering it to work with your voice
D. thinking about what you want it to do
【2】We know if micro-electronic generation becomes reality, people ________.
A. will live a much more relaxing life
B. will need to run in their house all day
C. can produce electricity through activities
D. will no longer need to go to their office to work
【3】If you use a machine that uses iris scans to identify a person, you ________.
A. have to use passwords at first
B. should show your fingerprints
C. need to speak to the machine aloud
D. only need to stare into the machine
【4】What does the underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Removing. B. Changing.
C. Observing. D. Replacing.
28、 As graduation day approached, excitement increased. Being out of high school meant I was finally coming of age(成人).Soon I would be on my own, making my own decisions, doing what I wanted without someone looking over my shoulder and it meant going to school with boys-a welcome change coming from an all-girl high school.
There was never any question in my mind that I would go to a college away from home. My mother's idea, on the other hand, was just the opposite. Trying her best not to force her preferences on me, she would subtly ask whether I had considered particular schools, all of which happened to be located in or near my hometown of Chicago. Once it was established that, as long as it was financially affordable, I would be going away anyway, my family's perspective changed. Their concern shifted from whether I was going away to how far. The schools I was considering on the East Coast suddenly looked much more attractive than those in California.
But which college I would attend was just one of what seemed like a never-ending list of unknown! What would college be like? Would the other students like me? Would I make friends easily? Would I miss my family so much that I wouldn't be able to stand it? And what about the work --- would I be able to keep up? (Being an A student in high school seemed to offer little assurance that I would be able to survive college.) What if the college I selected turned out to be a horrible mistake? Would I be able to transfer to another school?
The panic set in. My feelings took a 180-degree turn. I really didn't want to leave high school at all, and it was questionable whether I wanted to grow up after all. It had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year; I didn't enjoy the idea of being on the bottom rung of the ladder again.
Despite months of expectation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual day. As the familiar must of 'Pomp and Circumstance' echoed in the background, I looked around at the other students in white caps and gowns as we solemnly(庄严地) filed into the auditorium(礼堂). Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes, and I was consumed by a rush of sadness. As if in a daze, I rose from my seat when I heard my name called and slowly crossed the stage to receive my diploma(毕业证书). As I reached out my hand, I knew that I was reaching not just for a piece of paper but for a brand-new life. Exciting as the prospect of a new life seemed, it wasn't easy saying goodbye to the old ones --- the familiar faces, the familiar routine. I would even miss that chemistry class I wasn't particularly fond of and the long commute each day between home and school that I hated. Good or bad, it was what I knew.
That September, I was fortunate to attend a wonderful university in Providence, Rhode Island. I needn't have worried about liking it. My years there turned out to be some of the best years of my life. And as for friends, I still treasure some of the friendships I formed there today. Years later, financial difficulties forced my high school to close its doors for good. Although going back is impossible, it's comforting to know I can revisit my special memories any time.
