But I didn’t know how much, so I decided to do this 1 to find out. Every morning since I got a smartphone, I’ve used The Weather Forecast App to find out what to 2 . On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but thankfully I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window. I couldn’t know what time it was. I haven’t worn a   3 for more than a year, because my phone   4 the time. So I was late for 5 friends who had been on the bus for two hours from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes. I was also 6 for my part­-time job. And even worse, I couldn’t call people to tell them that I was running late. Getting places was harder, too. I got 7 because I couldn’t use the GPS on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot safer because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while   8 with the other. But the number one trouble was not having my contact list. I forgot to write down my friends’ and family members’ phone numbers before I 9   the challenge. It was sad to realise that I couldn’t 10 my brother’s and my mum’s cellphone numbers. Oh, how I 11 to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers! Even with all the problems, however, I found 12 not worrying about missing a text message or an email. This challenge was a(n) 13 learning experience. It surprised me how I’d taken no notice of even the 14 things like remembering phone numbers.

In this case, the cat named Photo took two. A cat 1 traveled more than 2,000 miles from Texas to Massachusetts. The cat 2 from its Texas home during a cold January two years ago. Its owners tried to 3 down the animal, but they never did. Much to their surprise, the animal 4 in Massachusetts, who had traveled more than 2,000 miles away. The journey had not been 5 to Photo. It was weak and exhausted when someone brought it to the animal 6 . The microchip scanner (芯片扫描仪) 7 the cat and showed its home in Texas. The owners were shocked to have received a call from Massachusetts. “Thankfully, we made 8 ,” the shelter manager said. The owners were so 9 about their cat that they quickly made plans to drive 26 hours from Texas to pick up their 10 . “No one except Photo will ever know how it got to Massachusetts,” the shelter manager said. “That adventure will forever remain its 11 .” The shelter manager said it also took a moment to celebrate microchips. It 12 pet owners to get their pets chipped. 13 , a reunion like this would not be possible. “Keeping your microchip contact information up to date is 14 in case your pet goes missing,” the shelter manager notes on its website.

Suddenly, I heard a strange voice calling my name. I turned around, only to find a robot 2 to me passionately. “I’ll show you around the city in 2035!” I nodded immediately, 3 what the city would be like. Once I walked out of the train station, many air lanes came into view. The robot, seeing how 4 I was, explained the new traffic system to me. The system was put into place by many famous engineers using highly 5 technology. In fact, it eliminated (消除) the issue of traffic jams entirely. Next we made our way to a restaurant nearby. Just as I 6 that there was no menu, a waiter began to scan my body with a special 7 , which gave me a big fright, so I 8 out of my seat immediately. The robot explained it was just a machine that was able to figure out what our body needed and chose the 9 that suited us most. The waiter then introduced me to the electronic screen that allowed me to choose the environment according to my 10 . I pressed the “beach” button on the screen and suddenly I felt a sea 11 . I couldn’t help but 12 at how rapidly technology had advanced. We 13 returned to the train station. Just as I got on the train, I heard a 14 voice calling my name. I opened my eyes to see my mom standing over me.

However, my grandfather always said, “The future isn’t just about technology; it’s about how we 1 it to improve our lives. ” At that time, I didn’t fully understand his words.   Years later, while working in a tech company, I experienced a(n) 2 moment. Our team developed an AI system that could predict natural disasters with 90% accuracy. The system used satellite data and machine learning to 3 patterns in weather changes. Initially, everyone was excited. But soon, debates arose: Should this technology be 4 to the public freely, or should it be sold for profit?   One day, I met a farmer in a remote village. He told me his story: “Last year, a flood destroyed my crops. If I had known it was coming, I could have saved my family’s 5 .” His words struck me. I realized that technology should serve humanity, not just 6 wealth. We decided to provide the system to developing countries 7 .   This experience taught me that the future depends on our choices. Advanced technology like 8 and quantum computing will shape our world, but without 9 , they might widen social gaps. As the famous chef in my childhood book said, “Real progress 10 when we blend innovation with compassion. ”   Now, whenever I see students debating AI ethics or engineers designing eco-friendly cities, I feel 11 . They are the ones who will 12 the balance between machines and 13 . My grandfather’s words finally make sense: The 14 is not predetermined; it’s built by today’s 15 . 1．A．create B．use C．ignore D．sell 2．A．embarrassing B．inspiring C．ordinary D．terrifying 3．A．avoid B．analyze C．simplify D．imagine 4．A．explained B．hidden C．released D．criticized 5．A．tradition B．harvest C．factory D．software 6．A．measure B．waste C．generate D．distribute 7．A．for free B．by accident C．in secret D．on purpose 8．A．virtual reality B．social media C．paper books D．solar energy 9．A．competition B．education C．entertainment D．exploration 10．A．fails B．happens C．delays D．repeats 11．A．anxious B．hopeful C．regretful D．confused 12．A．challenge B．destroy C．maintain D．question 13．A．humanity B．human being C．society D．human 14．A．future B．world C．earth D．globe 15．A．mistakes B．dreams C．profits D．conflicts Nowadays computers have become an important part in our daily life. We 1 in touch with our friends through the Internet, we write many short pieces about the wonderful things we are 2 by clicking the keyboard, and sometimes we also 3 computers to do business. Computers have changed our 4 in many aspects. However, here comes the problem: we are too 5 on computers. It is 6 to find that lots of people always make many mistakes in writing with a pen, and some of them even have   7 their inspiration (灵感) because they have got used to 8 articles from computers. There is no 9 that computers have made a great contribution to improving our 10 of life, making it easier and more convenient, but we shouldn’t ignore the 11 of keeping our ability to do things with our own head. One day, 12 would seem to be everywhere, but we would suffer (遭受) a lot if we become too dependent on them. Imagine that in a(n) 13 where you are required to write a paper with your pen. 14 , you find yourself unable to remember the 15 spellings of several words, or that you cannot get your own ideas without searching for information from a computer, and that would put you into anxiety. But I don’t want to seek perfection any more. 1．A．fail B．keep C．succeed D．end 2．A．worried about B．bored with C．sorry for D．interested in 3．A．use B．explore C．switch D．restart 4．A．habit B．hobby C．life D．mind 5．A．hard B．keen C．dependent D．afraid 6．A．surprising B．exciting C．satisfying D．inspiring 7．A．showed B．discovered C．improved D．lost 8．A．creating B．choosing C．copying D．stealing 9．A．doubt B．reason C．secret D．problem 10．A．direction B．quality C．length D．type 11．A．possibility B．importance C．condition D．chance 12．A．letters B．emails C．messages D．computers 13．A．state B．way C．case D．event 14．A．However B．Therefore C．Besides D．Moreover 15．A．same B．correct C．common D．special Whether you live around the corner or across the world, using the right social media technology can improve your relationships with your friends. Here is how I reconnected with my friend with the 1 of information technology. During a recent visit to Toronto, I had a chance to see an old friend I hadn’t 2 in years. We hadn’t 3 : We’d just got jobs, got married and got kids in 4 cities. Most of the time we were 5 , and we didn’t have a lot of time for phone calls. But when we did talk on the phone, we 6 sharing our true feelings. We did e-mail each other regularly. However, lack of face-to-face meetings made me 7 about reaching out. But I decided to give it a try and 8 an e-mail — and received a positive 9 to the possibility of a coffee date. Within five minutes of sitting down together, we were back to the same level of 10 that had built our original friendship. 11 , we had better talks than before. Thanks to my right 12 , we contacted with each other again in the real world. Also, staying 13 by phone or e-mail has played a key role. The beauty of these new tools is that they make it 14 to maintain and improve friendships — but you should 15 the part that matters: the emotional connection. 1．A．news B．lesson C．mistake D．help 2．A．known B．challenged C．met D．believed 3．A．given in B．moved in C．warmed up D．broken up 4．A．beautiful B．relaxing C．different D．clean 5．A．busy B．bored C．close D．lucky 6．A．prevented B．enjoyed C．minded D．imagined 7．A．stressed B．confident C．excited D．calm 8．A．downloaded B．sent C．recognized D．read 9．A．application B．way C．reply D．detail 10．A．laughter B．knowledge C．experience D．conversation 11．A．Actually B．Commonly C．Similarly D．Recently 12．A．view B．decision C．discovery D．reason 13．A．in surprise B．in silence C．in peace D．in contact 14．A．cheaper B．easier C．slower D．longer 15．A．sweep away B．turn down C．focus on D．suffer from Kashif Hoda was waiting for a train when a young man asked him for directions. Mr. Hoda was 1 by the man’s thick-framed glasses, but he did not realize that they were smart glasses and that a small white light indicated that they were 2 . A few minutes later, the same man, a Harvard junior named AnhPhu Nguyen, 3 him again and asked, “Do you 4 to work on community issues?” Mr. Hoda was 5 . He currently worked in biotechnology but had previously been a journalist 6 social matters. “I’ve read your 7 before,” Mr. Nguyen said. “That’s super cool.” They shook hands before Mr. Hoda 8 his train, still processing how strange the 9 had been. A week later, he found out just how strange: he had been a guinea pig in an experiment. Mr. Nguyen and a fellow Harvard student, Caine Ardayfio, had built glasses used for identifying 10 in real time, and had 11 them on two “real people” at the subway station, including Mr. Hoda. Now the two students asked Mr. Hoda for his 12 to feature him in a video, and he agreed, believing it to be an important demonstration of what new technology could achieve. The video went viral. Mr. Nguyen explained in an interview that their system relied on widely 13 technologies. “All the tools were there. We just had the idea to combine them together.” He added that they had no desire to commercialize this project and had 14 wanted to show it was possible. He also encouraged people to 15 their information from data broker sites that can reveal private details. 1．A．guided B．struck C．challenged D．inspired 2．A．recording B．charging C．loading D．reflecting 3．A．helped B．questioned C．approached D．invited 4．A．remember B．intend C．regret D．happen 5．A．shocked B．amused C．embarrassed D．relieved 6．A．solving B．organizing C．reforming D．covering 7．A．novel B．poem C．work D．diary 8．A．looked for B．got on C．waved at D．signaled for 9．A．adventure B．relationship C．encounter D．task 10．A．strangers B．journalists C．students D．friends 11．A．discovered B．placed C．based D．demonstrated 12．A．forgiveness B．permission C．information D．application 13．A．advertised B．available C．unpopular D．debated 14．A．suddenly B．occasionally C．immediately D．simply 15．A．obtain B．remove C．update D．analyze 重难语篇提升练 Long long ago, colleagues would suggest changes to documents in turn. They would make comments and add revisions to a file on their own computer, and then send it on to the next person. It was 1 and inconvenient. The era of the shared doc has made this process much more user-friendly. But like all social activities, it has the great 2 of exposing you to other people. Start with the fact that you can see who else is in the document. A succession of initials at the top of the screen confirms that your actions are now being observed by 3 people. One of these initials fades and brightens every few minutes, as the person in question 4 exits and re-enters the document. They either have nothing to do or are deeply anxious about what may be about to happen. If they are the owner of the document, they are absolutely right to worry, for people will be busy rendering (提供) public 5 on their work. A cursor (光标) jumps rapidly from paragraph to paragraph, and then suddenly stops. It remains 6 . Something must be very, very wrong with what they are reading. It moves more slowly after that, its confidence in the author visibly 7 . If enough people are involved, chaos follows. Someone adds a paragraph, causing someone else to make 8 in the wrong place. Two people are engaged in a furious 9 battle over a single word in the shared doc, taking it by turns to overwrite each other. If you are the owner of the document, you do not have to watch this disaster unfold in real time. But it will still seek you out. Countless emails arrive to tell you that there has been “ 10 ” in the document. When you finally go back into the document, you survey the scene. Suggestions 11 the text. A wall of comments runs down one side of the screen. So many of them have been left that some are impossible to see at first. You will start accepting, replying, 12 and resolving. In a shared doc, a tap on a keyboard awakens your colleagues. As you go through the doc, those emails are silently flying off to tell people you have been busy. Initials start to 13 at the top of the screen. Silently, they cluster and wait. You know that they are gearing up to 14 again. There will be more changes, more comments, more activity. A shared doc allows you to gather more opinions, and to bat things back and forth; ideas are less likely to be dismissed for no good reason. There is 15 in the crowd. But there is an awful lot of noise, too. 1．A．impractical B．inefficient C．inaccessible D．unstable 2．A．method B．chance C．drawback D．pressure 3．A．multiple B．strange C．idle D．talented 4．A．unconsciously B．nervously C．occasionally D．repeatedly 5．A．judgement B．appreciation C．praise D．demand 6．A．irregular B．insensitive C．immobile D．impersonal 7．A．restored B．boosted C．eased D．shaken 8．A．connections B．alterations C．claims D．drafts 9．A．legal B．virtual C．psychological D．daily 10．A．activity B．trouble C．damage D．silence 11．A．decorate B．replace C．litter D．spread 12．A．rejecting B．complaining C．boasting D．accusing 13．A．fade B．stick C．lie D．reappear 14．A．sacrifice B．strike C．emerge D．retreat 15．A．limitation B．chaos C．wisdom D．disagreement During a work break last spring, I was checking my Facebook when I noticed a friend request among the notifications (通知). When I looked more closely, I was 1 to see my grandmother’s picture next to it. “Barbara Haywood sent you a friend request,” the notification stated. At first, I thought it was a 2 but then I started to wonder if someone had opened an account in her name. I called my mom. “I have a friend request from Mammie. Is it really her?” I asked. “It is,” my mom 3 . She said my uncle Buster had helped her set up the account. “That is so amazing,” I said. Immediately I wrote a welcome message on my grandmother’s page. Mammie learned about Facebook 4 . She first just “liked” family pictures. After a while, she 5 how to comment. Her proficiency isn’t what matters. It’s the fact that she is on social media and has daily 6 to pictures of her family that matters. Our large family lives fairly close, but we all 7 busy lives. Though we invite Mammie to events, her lack of mobility 8 her attendance. Now with Facebook, she doesn’t miss a thing. She keeps up with the latest family 9 and views vacation pictures. However, she has a special way of commenting. She calls us all her little babies and always 10 her comments, “Love, Mammie.” A friend asked me the other day if I would 11 her that she needn’t leave her signature. “I sure am not,” I told my friend. “She can use it however she wants. I’m not 12 a single thing she does.” Her unique 13 makes her more beloved in our eyes. This experience makes me 14 technology’s power: it is not about the most 15 features, but about connecting people we love. 1．A．relieved B．disappointed C．astonished D．ashamed 2．A．expectation B．blessing C．proof D．joke 3．A．suspected B．explained C．confirmed D．interrupted 4．A．gradually B．suddenly C．frequently D．officially 5．A．gave up B．figured out C．insisted on D．came across 6．A．key B．solution C．introduction D．access 7．A．spare B．waste C．lead D．save 8．A．improves B．limits C．guarantees D．examines 9．A．traditions B．secrets C．trends D．budgets 10．A．signs B．writes C．delivers D．reads 11．A．inform B．blame C．persuade D．order 12．A．declining B．praising C．criticizing D．remembering 13．A．comprehension B．practice C．cooperation D．management 14．A．doubt B．overlook C．appreciate D．accept 15．A．expensive B．reliable C．detailed D．advanced 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 3 The Internet 单元话题完形填空 Unit 3 The Internet单元话题：互联网与科技 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 Robert was a librarian.

They would make comments and add revisions to a file on their own computer, and then send it on to the next person. It was 1 and inconvenient. The era of the shared doc has made this process much more user-friendly. But like all social activities, it has the great 2 of exposing you to other people. Start with the fact that you can see who else is in the document. A succession of initials at the top of the screen confirms that your actions are now being observed by 3 people. One of these initials fades and brightens every few minutes, as the person in question 4 exits and re-enters the document. They either have nothing to do or are deeply anxious about what may be about to happen. If they are the owner of the document, they are absolutely right to worry, for people will be busy rendering (提供) public 5 on their work. A cursor (光标) jumps rapidly from paragraph to paragraph, and then suddenly stops. It remains 6 . Something must be very, very wrong with what they are reading. It moves more slowly after that, its confidence in the author visibly 7 . If enough people are involved, chaos follows. Someone adds a paragraph, causing someone else to make 8 in the wrong place. Two people are engaged in a furious 9 battle over a single word in the shared doc, taking it by turns to overwrite each other. If you are the owner of the document, you do not have to watch this disaster unfold in real time. But it will still seek you out. Countless emails arrive to tell you that there has been “ 10 ” in the document. When you finally go back into the document, you survey the scene. Suggestions 11 the text. A wall of comments runs down one side of the screen. So many of them have been left that some are impossible to see at first. You will start accepting, replying, 12 and resolving. In a shared doc, a tap on a keyboard awakens your colleagues. As you go through the doc, those emails are silently flying off to tell people you have been busy. Initials start to 13 at the top of the screen. Silently, they cluster and wait. You know that they are gearing up to 14 again. There will be more changes, more comments, more activity. A shared doc allows you to gather more opinions, and to bat things back and forth; ideas are less likely to be dismissed for no good reason. There is 15 in the crowd. But there is an awful lot of noise, too. 1．A．impractical B．inefficient C．inaccessible D．unstable 2．A．method B．chance C．drawback D．pressure 3．A．multiple B．strange C．idle D．talented 4．A．unconsciously B．nervously C．occasionally D．repeatedly 5．A．judgement B．appreciation C．praise D．demand 6．A．irregular B．insensitive C．immobile D．impersonal 7．A．restored B．boosted C．eased D．shaken 8．A．connections B．alterations C．claims D．drafts 9．A．legal B．virtual C．psychological D．daily 10．A．activity B．trouble C．damage D．silence 11．A．decorate B．replace C．litter D．spread 12．A．rejecting B．complaining C．boasting D．accusing 13．A．fade B．stick C．lie D．reappear 14．A．sacrifice B．strike C．emerge D．retreat 15．A．limitation B．chaos C．wisdom D．disagreement 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．A 6．C 7．D 8．B 9．B 10．A 11．C 12．A 13．D 14．B 15．C 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章指出传统的文档修改方式低效且不透明，通过描述共享文档编辑时的具体过程，说明共享文档虽便于协作，但会暴露编辑过程、引发焦虑，并可能导致混乱，这能集思广益，但也伴随干扰。 1．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这既低效又不方便。A. impractical不切实际的；B. inefficient低效的；C. inaccessible难以到达的；D. unstable不稳定的。根据上文“They would make comments and add revisions to a file on their own computer, and then send it on to the next person.”可知，传统的文档修改方式是同事们在自己的电脑上对文件进行评论和修改，然后将其发送给下一个人，这种方式效率低下。故选B。 2．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但就像所有的社交活动一样，它有一个很大的缺点，就是让你暴露在其他人面前。A. method方法；B. chance机会；C. drawback缺点；D. pressure压力。根据下文“exposing you to other people”可知，让一个人暴露在其他人面前是共享文档很大的缺点。故选C。 3．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：屏幕上方连续出现的首字母确认你的动作现在被多人观察到。A. multiple多个的；B. strange奇怪的；C. idle无事可做的；D. talented有才华的。根据上文“A succession of initials at the top of the screen”可知，屏幕上方连续出现的首字母代表多人进入了共享文档，个人的动作现在可以被多人观察到。故选A。 4．考查副词词义辨析。句意：这些首字母中的一个每隔几分钟就会变暗变亮，因为这个人反复地退出和重新进入文档。A. unconsciously无意识地；B. nervously紧张地；C. occasionally偶尔；D. repeatedly重复地。根据上文“One of these initials fades and brightens every few minutes”可知，这些首字母中的一个每隔几分钟就会变暗变亮，说明这个用户反复地退出和重新进入文档。故选D。 5．考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果他们是文档的所有者，他们的担心是完全正确的，因为人们将忙于对他们的工作进行公众评判。A. judgement判断；B. appreciation欣赏；C. praise赞扬；D. demand要求。根据上文“They would make comments and add revisions to a file on their own computer”可知，同事之间编辑文档主要是进行评论和修改，他人编辑共享文档意味着对文档所有者的工作进行公众评判。故选A。 6．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它保持不动。A. irregular不规则的；B. insensitive不敏感的；C. immobile不动的；D. impersonal非个人的。根据上文“then suddenly stops”可知，光标突然停止后，就保持不动了。故选C。 7．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在那之后，它的移动更慢了，对作者的信心明显动摇了。A. restored恢复；B. boosted提升；C. eased缓解；D. shaken动摇。根据上文“Something must be very, very wrong with what they are reading.

Immediately I wrote a welcome message on my grandmother’s page. Mammie learned about Facebook 4 . She first just “liked” family pictures. After a while, she 5 how to comment.
