On the night before my no-tech 2 starts, I told everyone who might get in touch with me that I wouldn’t be 3 until 9 pm on Sunday. Did this feel unpleasant? Yes. But it also felt 4 : Everyone uses WeChat or the telephone to 5 others. If I am off the network, it seems my 6 to inform those who might need me.
The next day, I turned off my phone. I read. I thought. I used a 7 to make a grocery list on paper. I 8 my dog in the neighborhood, and then, because I had nothing else to do, I took her to the pet shop. “See how 9 I am! I can leave the Internet and live in the real world.” I thought.
But by 8 pm, I was 10 the minutes until the experiment ended. For better or worse, my 11 is online, and most of our work can’t leave the Internet. And I was anxious to order a hat online. Then the clock 12 struck 9.
Through this 13 , I’ve realized there is so much time when you are disconnected from the Internet. I’ll 14 taking tech-free baby steps: turning off the phone; 15 intentional periods away from my computer; being present in real life.

“Could postage stamps be used in 7 of persons?” asked Bell, who had thought of 8 a low price for public transport, but the cost of building additional roads was too high. “Perhaps, the flying machine will be the 9 .”
In the speech, Bell also 10 on a century of progress and looked ahead with remarkable foresight. In the reflection, he was amazed by the 11 made in the past century: Gas lighting had evolved into electric bulbs and automobiles 12 horse-drawn vehicles. He then went on to 13 the commercial airplane, solar panels, and the 14 for renewable resources.

Misconceptions 8 about human navigation. “One of them is that you think you cannot improve,” Newcombe says. Navigational 9 like maps and compasses can lead to a dependence. People can train themselves to better notice environmental 10 like the wind, the sun and slopes.
For people who can’t imagine wayfinding without a phone app, there are still ways to 11 spatial skills. The system on many apps is that “wherever you’re going is straight ahead, which is a terrible way to learn. I advocate keeping north on the top all the time,” Newcombe 12 .

Passage 13
(23-24高二下·上海·期末)Throughout history, many lives have been lost at the hands of severe weather. Meteorologists (气象学家) and scientists alike are always investigating new ways to increase the warning time for storms, with the hope of reducing the 1 of lives. In the past few decades, local weather radar advancements have been made, which allow for better accuracy in 2 the paths of storms.
Meteorologists and scientists have been able to successfully track severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes by using an advanced tracking system called NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar). NEXRAD is a tracking network 3 158 Doppler weather radars. And during a storm this high-resolution computerized 4 takes readings on the amount of precipitation (降水) in the air, the movements in the clouds, and the wind speeds.
These 5 are bounced back to a local weather computer, and a colorful image appears on the screen,giving meteorologists a clear picture of what kind of weather is on the horizon. This final image is what you see when the meteorologist breaks in with severe weather reports and warnings. 6 , on your television screen you will see a computer animated image of the approaching storm.
If the storm is severe enough, then the National Weather Service (NWS) will 7 severe weather reports of severe thunderstorm warnings for your area. 8 , the storm captured on the radar will have produced strong readable winds, detectable lightning, and some hail (冰雹). Paying attention to the weather map is 9 when severe weather is around.
On the television screen you will see several colors on the precipitation map, 10 from blue (the lightest) to black (the heaviest). If the colors for your 11 area are yellow, take caution. If the colors range between orange and red, take cover immediately, as damaging winds and dangerous lightning have been reported.
When local weather radar in Atlanta, Georgia reported high winds, circular wind patterns and large hail earlier this year, the National Weather Service issued a tornado 12 . Meteorologists in the area used the collected data to predict what path the storm would take, 13 which areas needed to be warned.
Thanks to this technology, most residents received the severe weather reports early enough to seek 14 before the storm hit. Paying attention to your 15 weather source during severe weather plays a vital role in your safety.

Passage 14
(23-24高二下·上海·期中)In years with hotter weather, pupils are likely to perform less well in exams, says a major study from researchers at Harvard and other US universities. There is a “significant” 1 between higher temperatures and lower school achievement, say economic researchers.
An analysis of 2 scores of 10 million US secondary school students over 13 years shows hot weather has a negative impact on results. The study says a practical 3 could be to use more air conditioning.
Students taking exams in a summer heatwave might have always complained that they were 4 by the hot and uncomfortable weather.
But this study, from academics at Harvard, the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and Georgia State University, claims to have produced the first clear 5 showing that when temperatures go up, school performance goes down. Researchers have 6 how secondary school students performed in tests in different years across the different 7 patterns within the US. The study found that students were more likely to have lower scores in years with higher temperatures and better results in cooler years.
This 8 across the many different types of climate — whether in cooler northern US states or in the southern states where temperatures are typically much higher. The study, Heat and Learning, suggested that hotter weather made it harder to study in lessons in school and to 9 homework out of school. Researchers calculated that for every 0.55℃ increase in average temperature over the year, there was a 1% fall in 10 . Colder days did not seem to damage achievement — but the negative impact began to be 11 as temperatures rose above 21℃. The reduction in learning increased quickly once temperatures rose above 32℃ and even more so above 38℃.
Joshua Goodman, associate professor at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and his co-authors provide evidence that the “heat’s destruction of instruction or homework time is responsible for the 12 drop in test scores”.
But Mr Goodman says it would have been harder to carry out similar studies in the education systems in the UK, because the differences in weather conditions would have been much 13 . The wide range of weather conditions in the US allows 14 within the same year group as well as with test performances in previous years.
The study also asks whether heat plays a part in the huge 15 differences in achievement within the US. Northern states such as Massachusetts have very high levels of achievement in international tests. But southern states such as Alabama and Mississippi are at a level below European countries and closer to Turkey and Mexico.

Passage 15
(23-24高二下·上海奉贤·期中)AI, or deep learning, takes in massive amounts of data from a single field and automatically learns from the data to make specific decisions within that field. It can automatically optimize (优化) human-given goals with 1 memory and superhuman accuracy.
The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting, but the rise of AI also brings many 2 . It’s worth taking time to sort between the genuine risks of this coming technological revolution and the 3 that sometimes surround the topic.
First, let’s talk about job displacement. Because AI can 4 humans at routine tasks, it is technically capable of displacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.
But not every job will be replaced by AI. 5 , four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a 6 to optimize. It cannot 7 as scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs go well beyond the AI 8 of single domain and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI. Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much 9 : empathetic and compassionate jobs, such as teachers, nannies and doctors, which AI is not capable of. So there will still be jobs in the age of AI.
As well as job displacement. AI has the potential to 10 inequality-both between the super wealthy and the displaced workers and also among countries.
Poorer and smaller countries will be unable to gain the economic rewards that will come with AI and less well placed to 11 job displacement.
The technology also poses serious challenges in terms of 12 . The consequences of hacking into AI-controlled systems could be severe.
Finally, there are the issues of privacy, worsened prejudices and manipulation (操纵). Sadly, we’ve already seen 13 on this front. Facebook couldn’t resist the temptation to use AI technology to optimize usage and profit, at the expense of user privacy and increasing prejudices and division.
All of these risks require governments, businesses and technologists to 14 develop a new rule book for AI applications. And rather than compare against one another countries must share best practices and work together to ensure this technology is used for the 15 of all.

Passage 13
(23-24高二下·上海·期末)Throughout history, many lives have been lost at the hands of severe weather. Meteorologists (气象学家) and scientists alike are always investigating new ways to increase the warning time for storms, with the hope of reducing the 1 of lives. In the past few decades, local weather radar advancements have been made, which allow for better accuracy in 2 the paths of storms.
Meteorologists and scientists have been able to successfully track severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes by using an advanced tracking system called NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar). NEXRAD is a tracking network 3 158 Doppler weather radars. And during a storm this high-resolution computerized 4 takes readings on the amount of precipitation (降水) in the air, the movements in the clouds, and the wind speeds.
These 5 are bounced back to a local weather computer, and a colorful image appears on the screen,giving meteorologists a clear picture of what kind of weather is on the horizon. This final image is what you see when the meteorologist breaks in with severe weather reports and warnings. 6 , on your television screen you will see a computer animated image of the approaching storm.
If the storm is severe enough, then the National Weather Service (NWS) will 7 severe weather reports of severe thunderstorm warnings for your area. 8 , the storm captured on the radar will have produced strong readable winds, detectable lightning, and some hail (冰雹). Paying attention to the weather map is 9 when severe weather is around.
On the television screen you will see several colors on the precipitation map, 10 from blue (the lightest) to black (the heaviest). If the colors for your 11 area are yellow, take caution. If the colors range between orange and red, take cover immediately, as damaging winds and dangerous lightning have been reported.
When local weather radar in Atlanta, Georgia reported high winds, circular wind patterns and large hail earlier this year, the National Weather Service issued a tornado 12 . Meteorologists in the area used the collected data to predict what path the storm would take, 13 which areas needed to be warned.
Thanks to this technology, most residents received the severe weather reports early enough to seek 14 before the storm hit. Paying attention to your 15 weather source during severe weather plays a vital role in your safety.

Passage 14
(23-24高二下·上海·期中)In years with hotter weather, pupils are likely to perform less well in exams, says a major study from researchers at Harvard and other US universities. There is a “significant” 1 between higher temperatures and lower school achievement, say economic researchers.
An analysis of 2 scores of 10 million US secondary school students over 13 years shows hot weather has a negative impact on results. The study says a practical 3 could be to use more air conditioning.
Students taking exams in a summer heatwave might have always complained that they were 4 by the hot and uncomfortable weather.
But this study, from academics at Harvard, the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and Georgia State University, claims to have produced the first clear 5 showing that when temperatures go up, school performance goes down. Researchers have 6 how secondary school students performed in tests in different years across the different 7 patterns within the US. The study found that students were more likely to have lower scores in years with higher temperatures and better results in cooler years.
This 8 across the many different types of climate — whether in cooler northern US states or in the southern states where temperatures are typically much higher. The study, Heat and Learning, suggested that hotter weather made it harder to study in lessons in school and to 9 homework out of school. Researchers calculated that for every 0.55℃ increase in average temperature over the year, there was a 1% fall in 10 . Colder days did not seem to damage achievement — but the negative impact began to be 11 as temperatures rose above 21℃. The reduction in learning increased quickly once temperatures rose above 32℃ and even more so above 38℃.
Joshua Goodman, associate professor at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and his co-authors provide evidence that the “heat’s destruction of instruction or homework time is responsible for the 12 drop in test scores”.
But Mr Goodman says it would have been harder to carry out similar studies in the education systems in the UK, because the differences in weather conditions would have been much 13 . The wide range of weather conditions in the US allows 14 within the same year group as well as with test performances in previous years.
The study also asks whether heat plays a part in the huge 15 differences in achievement within the US. Northern states such as Massachusetts have very high levels of achievement in international tests. But southern states such as Alabama and Mississippi are at a level below European countries and closer to Turkey and Mexico.

Passage 15
(23-24高二下·上海奉贤·期中)AI, or deep learning, takes in massive amounts of data from a single field and automatically learns from the data to make specific decisions within that field. It can automatically optimize (优化) human-given goals with 1 memory and superhuman accuracy.
The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting, but the rise of AI also brings many 2 . It’s worth taking time to sort between the genuine risks of this coming technological revolution and the 3 that sometimes surround the topic.
First, let’s talk about job displacement. Because AI can 4 humans at routine tasks, it is technically capable of displacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.
But not every job will be replaced by AI. 5 , four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a 6 to optimize. It cannot 7 as scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs go well beyond the AI 8 of single domain and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI. Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much 9 : empathetic and compassionate jobs, such as teachers, nannies and doctors, which AI is not capable of. So there will still be jobs in the age of AI.
As well as job displacement. AI has the potential to 10 inequality-both between the super wealthy and the displaced workers and also among countries.
Poorer and smaller countries will be unable to gain the economic rewards that will come with AI and less well placed to 11 job displacement.
The technology also poses serious challenges in terms of 12 . The consequences of hacking into AI-controlled systems could be severe.
Finally, there are the issues of privacy, worsened prejudices and manipulation (操纵). Sadly, we’ve already seen 13 on this front. Facebook couldn’t resist the temptation to use AI technology to optimize usage and profit, at the expense of user privacy and increasing prejudices and division.
All of these risks require governments, businesses and technologists to 14 develop a new rule book for AI applications. And rather than compare against one another countries must share best practices and work together to ensure this technology is used for the 15 of all.
