One big advantage is connection. Apps like Zoom or social media let us talk to friends worldwide. Educational apps repeat lessons until we understand them, acting like patient teachers.

Spending too much time online can harm physical health, like causing eye strain or poor sleep. Some apps collect private information, such as your location or photos without you noticing. Also, constantly checking messages can become a bad habit. Did you know the average teen picks up their phone 100+ times a day? To stay safe, set limits. Use screen-time trackers to avoid endless scrolling. Always check if an app asks for unnecessary private details. Balance online fun with offline activities, like sports or reading. In short, technology is useful, but we must use it wisely. By staying aware and making smart choices, we can enjoy digital life without letting it control us. ( )1.

They spun colourful handkerchiefs and coordinated their movements to form eye-catching patterns. These robots were the masterpieces of Unitree, a leading Chinese robotics company.3. In fact, back in 2021, their robot cows had already shown off their dancing skills as backup dancers for a famous singer. This time, they took the innovation to a new level. The robots didn't just dance randomly. 4. Their advanced laser navigation systems enabled them to move precisely on the stage, even with its uneven surface.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) Welcome to the Future The technology of tomorrow was on display this past January at the Consumer Electronics Show(CES,国际消费类电子产品展览会) in Las Vegas, the USA. Every year, exciting new gadgets are revealed by some of the leading electronic and tech brands in the world. We've had a good look around and finally agreed on the following products as our favourites. Sony Bravia Cam It's really annoying when there is a boring show on TV and you cannot find the remote (遥控器) The Bravia Cam, from Sony, is a small camera that sits on top of your TV set. It allows you to flick through channels and menus and even turn up the volume by simply gesturing with your hands. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. If you are sitting too close to the TV, the Bravia Cam will warn you to move back. If you don't, it will eventually turn the screen off. Also, if you are sitting in a corner of the room, the camera will detect this and get the speakers to adjust to where you are. Don't worry. The camera doesn't record you, but it certainly tries to look after you Masonite Smart Door Now here is a front door with a difference! The Masonite Smart Door is the door of the future, with in-built lights, sensors, a video-camera doorbell and an ultra-cool smart lock. The door connects to your home's electricity system. Therefore, there's no need to worry about batteries, which has always been the problem with technology packed doors in the past. It also connects to your Wi-Fi, so you can tell from your phone whether the door is open or closed. Using the app, you can also keep an eye on your front door even when you' re out of the house, ensuring you never miss a delivery or a visit. Amagami Ham Ham Robot Let's end with one of the weirdest gadgets at CES 2022——a robot soft toy that nibbles (小口咬)on your fingers! The Japanese word amagami means soft bite, so you quickly get the idea. Once you choose between Yuzu the cat or Kotaru the dog, you just pop your finger into its mouth and it will begin to nibble on it. The gentle bites(20 different ones) are supposed to recreate that fuzzy feeling of when you have your finger nibbled by a pet or your baby brother or sister. And the pleasing sensation will brighten up your day. 1. Where was the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show held? 2. How does Sony Bravia Cam make it much easier to change TV channels? 3. What is an advantage of the Masonite Smart Door compared with traditional technology-packed doors? 4. What is the process of using the Amagami Ham Ham Robot according to the passage? 5. Among these three products, which one do you think is the most innovative? Why? VII.

Listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or false (判断下列句子是否符合你听到的短文内容，符合的用T 表示，不符合的用F 表示)(6分) In many countries around the world, flooding is a big headache in summer. It often causes a lot of damage. Luckily, a Japanese company has come up with an answer to the problem—— the" flood-resistant" house. This kind of house won't get flooded. Its walls are covered with water- resistant material. And seals are built between its door and door frame, as well as between its windows and window frames. They help keep water from entering the house. The house won't be swept away by floodwaters, either. The company makes good use of the power of water. The house is attached to four iron rods through the use of thick ropes. These rods are firmly stuck in the ground around the house. This keeps the house from being washed away in a flood. When the water around the house starts to rise, it will leave the ground. The building is able to float up to five metres above the ground. When the flood waters go down, the floating house will naturally fall back down. If people want to buy a new house from this company, they can choose to have this flood-resistant system built into it. The cost of this system is only about 38,000 yuan. (1. F 2. T 3. T 4. F 5. F 6.

Mr. Zhang, could you share some of the low- carbon practices you've adopted in your daily life? Mr. Zhang: Sure. In my daily shopping, I always select products with longer shelf life. This helps to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide. Interviewer: That's a great way to contribute. I' ve also heard that some people are changing their commuting methods for a low- carbon life. For example, a girl called Xiao Fang is thinking of switching from taking the bus to cycling. What do you think of this kind of change? Mr. Zhang: It's a really good idea. Cycling takes about the same time as using public transportation, but it's more convenient. And it's not only environmentally friendly but also a good form of exercise. Interviewer: One of my friends, Professor Lin, also has her own low- carbon approach in the office. She uses energy- saving lights that turn off automatically when not needed. How do you view this energy- saving measure? Mr. Zhang: It's very smart. In fact, small steps like this can have a big impact. By using energy-saving lights, the office has greatly reduced electricity consumption. Every little bit helps in the fight against climate change. Interviewer: As the threat of climate change becomes more serious, what message would you like to convey to the public? Mr. Zhang: It's time for everyone to rethink their lifestyles and make responsible choices. Every small change in our daily life can contribute to a better environment. We all need to take action now. Interviewer: Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for sharing your low-carbon experiences. Your actions are truly inspiring.

Dressed in vibrant traditional costumes, the machines moved with extraordinary precision (准确), their every twist and stomp paying tribute to China's ancient folk heritage. This fusion of technology and tradition reminded me of a museum exhibition I once attended, where centuries- old calligraphy was reimagined through high- tech holograms (全息图). Just as those digital projections transformed static art into a dynamic experience, the robotic yangko dance performance breathes fresh vitality into cultural preservation. It achieves something extraordinary: safeguarding our roots while reimagining them for younger generations and global audiences alike. Through such innovative blends of old and new, we glimpse boundless possibilities for creative cultural expression in the digital age. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
