Unit 10 World in the Cloud任务型阅读专练 话题：网络的利弊与信息安全 基础篇 01 Hello, I’m Li Hua. Everyone loves the Internet! You can do a lot of great things: play games, listen to music, or read your favorite book. However, the Internet isn’t always safe. Nobody controls (控制) the information on it and everyone can use it. Here is my advice to keep you safe on the Internet. ●You must keep your passwords (密码) only to yourself. Don’t tell anyone and don’t write them on your computer. People can use your passwords to enter websites (网页) that you use and find information about you. ●Give your information on safe websites. You mustn’t give anyone your name or phone number if you don’t know them. ●You mustn’t put your photos on public (公共的) websites because anyone can look at them. Sometimes people will use them for the wrong things. ●If someone on the Internet asks you to meet him or her, you must say “no” and tell your parents or teachers. Some people don’t tell the real things about themselves on the Internet. It can be very dangerous to meet online “friends”. You must tell your parents or teachers if you aren’t sure about anything. Thank you! 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．Is the Internet always safe? _______________________________________________________________ 2．Where can you give your information? _______________________________________________________________ 3．Whom should you tell when someone on the Internet asks you to meet him or her? _______________________________________________________________ 4．How many rules to keep you safe in the passage? _______________________________________________________________ 5．What do you think of the Internet? _______________________________________________________________ 02 In many countries, people use computers and the Internet every day. The Internet makes our lives easier in many ways. We can send emails to our friends and families. We can also shop online, read news and watch videos. However, the Internet also brings some problems. Some students spend too much time playing computer games or chatting online. This is not good for their study or health. Therefore, we should use the Internet wisely. We should make a plan for our online time and try to learn something useful from it. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．What makes our lives easier in many ways? _______________________________________________________________ 2．What can we do on the Internet? _______________________________________________________________ 3．What problems does the Internet bring? _______________________________________________________________ 4．Why is it not good for students to spend too much time online? _______________________________________________________________ 5．What should we do to use the Internet wisely? _______________________________________________________________ 03 Virtual reality(虚拟现实)is coming for the cows. A team of researchers have developed VR headsets for cows living on a farm just outside of Moscow. They want these cows to believe that they are standing in summer fields, rather than the cold ones.. In this case, VR is being used to trick the cows into thinking that they are standing in a nice warm field, when, in fact, they really aren’t. Now people use the VR headsets to play the VR games or to lose themselves in virtual environments. There is a risk that VR will become a seductive(诱惑的) activity. People would like to turn to VR, simply because it’s easier and more enjoyable. One of the studies in Journal of Happiness Studies shows that people, especially the old, women and those out of work, are very likely to watch TV when they are unhappy. This kind of situation can be made worse influence human emotions. In the future , we might increasingly turn to virtual reality to achieve excitement and happiness. But as with the cows in Moscow, this won’t change the reality of our lives. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．Are these cows from the warm farms? _______________________________________________________________ 2．What do people do with the VR headsets? _______________________________________________________________ 3．Why do people turn to VR? _______________________________________________________________ 4．What are people very likely to do when they are unhappy? _______________________________________________________________ 5．How might people feel when they turn to virtual reality? _______________________________________________________________ 04 Imagine you are walking through deep snow. As you walk, you leave footprints where you’ve been. That’s what happens when you are using technology equipment (设备), such as computers and smartphones. You leave your digital footprint and it will never disappear. Here are reasons why your digital footprint should matter to you. How people see you Of course, you have nothing to hide, but if people get information about you, they might judge you from the information you have left online. For example, you make a bad joke online. Years later, it’s found by the university you are applying to, and they don’t think it’s funny. Maybe they decide you are not the “right” kind of person for them. Your private information Not everything can be shared with everyone. For example, you might share your school reports with your parents, but keep them secret to your e-friends. If you share them on the internet, they will not be a secret any more. Therefore, to protect your privacy (隐私), remember to put out less information online. Keep your money safe There are plenty of people looking at information about you, and some of them want to steal it from you. So you shouldn’t write bank details, card numbers or passwords in emails or text messages. In all the message is: No one can go online without leaving his digital footprint, but with care, you can control it. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．When do you leave digital footprint? _______________________________________________________________ 2．How many reasons are mentioned in the passage? _______________________________________________________________ 3．What should we do to protect our privacy? _______________________________________________________________ 4．What shouldn’t be written in emails or text messages to keep our money safe? _______________________________________________________________ 5．How can you go online safely? _______________________________________________________________ 05 In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become more and more popular. Many teenagers are starting to use them for schoolwork, writing, and even daily communication. AI tools like chatbots and smart assistants (助手) can answer questions, explain difficult topics, write stories, and check grammar. These tools are fast, easy to use, and always online. But are they really helping students learn better? There are several advantages to using AI. First, it can save a lot of time. For example, if a student doesn’t understand a science question, they can ask an AI to explain it in simple words. If they are writing an article and don’t know how to start, AI can suggest an outline or some topic sentences. Some students use AI to practice English by chatting or translating. In these ways, AI can be a helpful learning assistant. Second, AI is good at dealing with boring or repeated tasks. It can check spelling, fix grammar, and even help organize ideas. For students who feel shy about asking questions in class, AI gives them a safe space to explore. However, there are also disadvantages. One big problem is overuse. Some students copy answers directly from AI without thinking or understanding. This is not real learning. In fact, it can make students lazy. They might stop trying to solve problems on their own. Another problem is accuracy (准确性). AI tools don’t always give correct answers. Sometimes the information is outdated or unclear, students may believe the wrong facts if they don’t double-check. Also, when students use AI too often, they may forget how to write in their own words. Their schoolwork might all start to sound the same. This could hurt their creativity and communication skills over time. So, what should teens do? The key is to use AI wisely. Treat it like a calculator or a dictionary—something that supports your thinking, not replaces it. Use AI to learn better, but always think for yourself, ask questions, check facts, and practice real writing. That’s the smart way to grow in the AI age. 阅读短文，然后根据材料内容回答问题。 1．Which AI tools are mentioned in paragraph 1? _______________________________________________________________ 2．What are advantages of using AI tools according to paragraph 2?

Why? _______________________________________________________________ 5．How will you use AI tools in the future? _______________________________________________________________ 培优篇 06 What will happen if a family goes without the Internet for a month? One American family decides to find out. They sent an invitation to a TV station, and asked the workers to record their daily life without the Internet for a month. When the workers meet the Smiths, they find that Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith and their two kids are so crazy about the Internet that they hardly do things together. At mealtimes, no one sits at the dining table for their food. “Everyone just runs into the kitchen, takes their food and then goes back to their screen,” Mrs. Smith explains. “If we don’t make a change, our family will become strangers to each other!” Getting back to a life without the Internet is not easy, especially when the Smiths lose themselves in it. They have to make many changes. For example, the two kids have to go to the school library to borrow books for their scientific projects. Mr. and Mrs. Smith need to go out shopping because they cannot buy things online. As the family has picked up the new lifestyle, they have found that they can spend more time talking over meals, playing sports and doing all kinds of activities together. 请根据短文内容，回答问题。 1．What did the American family ask a TV station to do? _______________________________________________________________ 2．Why did the Smiths hardly do things together before giving up the Internet? _______________________________________________________________ 3．What change did the kids have to make when living without the Internet? _______________________________________________________________ 4．Did the Smith family enjoy the new lifestyle without the Internet? _______________________________________________________________ 5．Do you want to try the life without the Internet for a month? Why? _______________________________________________________________ 07 A New Way to Learn: Online Courses With the development of the Internet, online courses have become a popular way for students to learn. Online courses have many advantages. First, they are very convenient. Students can take the courses at home or anywhere else with the Internet. They don’t need to go to school or a training center. Second, online courses are flexible. Students can choose the time and speed of learning. They can watch the course videos again if they don’t understand something. Third, online courses are usually cheaper than traditional courses. This makes them accessible to more students. However, online courses also have some disadvantages. Some students may not have self-discipline. They may spend too much time playing games instead of studying. Also, students can’t talk to their teachers and classmates face to face, which may make it difficult for them to solve problems in time. Despite the disadvantages, online courses are still a good choice for many students. They can help students learn more knowledge and improve their skills. 请根据短文内容，回答问题。 1．What has become a popular way for students to learn? _______________________________________________________________ 2．Where can students take online courses? _______________________________________________________________ 3．Why are online courses flexible? _______________________________________________________________ 4．What may some students lack when taking online courses? _______________________________________________________________ 5．Are online courses a good choice for many students? _______________________________________________________________ 08 Yesterday I heard a talk about TV and the Internet on the radio. Most guests thought that with the rise of the Internet, TV was becoming less and less important in our lives. But I couldn’t completely agree with them. All guests in that talk said that many programs were not good enough. It is true that many channels(频道) offer nothing more than reruns or low-cost programs. However, I would say that many programs on the Internet also need to be improved. I agree to their idea that it is easy to keep up-to-date with the latest news on the Internet, but I’m sure most of us still enjoy sitting down to watch the news on TV in the evening just as much. Also, some guests said that the Internet was a great tool for research and I think this is the main advantage（优势）of it. I agree that programs on TV are made mainly for entertainment rather than for research. But criticizing TV for not being as good as the Internet is unfair. People will continue to love watching TV. It is still the main way most of us get our entertainment at home. Thanks to some well-made programs, it can bring the whole nation and all ages together in a way the Internet never could! 请根据短文内容，回答问题。 1．Where did the writer hear the talk about TV and the Internet? _______________________________________________________________ 2．Who thought many TV programs were bad? _______________________________________________________________ 3．Which is faster to keep up-to-date with the latest news , TV or the Internet? _______________________________________________________________ 4．What is the main advantage of the Internet? _______________________________________________________________ 5．Why does the writer say thanks to some well-made programs? _______________________________________________________________ 09 Do you feel like you’ve been looking at screens too much these days? If so, you’re not alone. In a study of 2, 000 British adults (成年人) , 64% of people said they spend too much time looking at screens—and 73% said they can’t imagine (想象) going a day without looking at one. Six in 10 people said they have probably been looking at screens more while working at home. However, they also said that less than half of their screen time is effective (有效的). It also found that 41% of people were experiencing dry eyes more often than before. This may be because people don’t blink (眨眼) as often when looking at screens. Some people are trying to have less screen time, however. The survey (调查) found that 34% of participants (参与者) have been choosing to stop looking at screens in the evening, starting at the time of 8: 54 p. m. A 2021 report from Ofcom found that, in April this year, British people spent 6 hours and 25 minutes a day watching TV and online videos—almost a third more than the year before. Some studies have connected (连接) too much screen time to physical and mental (精神的) health problems, but the results have not been clear. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．What do people spend too much time doing these days? _______________________________________________________________ 2．Is most of the people’s screen time effective? _______________________________________________________________ 3．Why do people experience dry eyes when they are looking at screens? _______________________________________________________________ 4．How long did British people spend on screens a day? _______________________________________________________________ 5．What problems may be caused by too much screen time? _______________________________________________________________ 10 After spending 40 hours playing the online game King of Glory, a middle school student had a stroke (中风) and nearly died. This happened in Guangdong Province in April last year. It shows how bad things can get if one becomes addicted to (沉迷) the Internet. To stop more teenagers from becoming addicted to the Internet, the Ministry of Education (MOE 教育部) sent a letter to all parents in China on April 20, 2018. It calls on them to pay more attention to (关注) their children’s online activities. The MOE also sent a notice to primary and middle schools, asking them to monitor (监督) students’ Internet use. From then on, schools would pay more attention to their students’ Internet use and their use of mobile phones. Schools have been told to teach students how to avoid violent (暴力的) online events. If students show signs of being addicted to the Internet, they can get help from their teachers to give up their addiction. Among China’s 772 million Internet users, about 151 million of them are between the ages of 10 and 19, according to the China Internet Network Information Center. It’s important to pay attention to how much time you spend online. To make better use of the Internet, experts advise that students should shorten their screen time to less than 1.5 hours a day. To make better use of their free time, they can develop good hobbies, like reading or playing sports. 请根据短文内容，回答问题。 1．What happened to the middle school student in the passage? _______________________________________________________________ 2．When did the MOE send a letter to all parents in China? _______________________________________________________________ 3．Why did the MOE send a notice to primary and middle schools? _______________________________________________________________ 4．Can teachers help students give up their addiction to the Internet? _______________________________________________________________ 5．How long can the students spend online according to the experts’ advice? _______________________________________________________________ 1 / 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 10 World in the Cloud任务型阅读专练 话题：网络的利弊与信息安全 基础篇 01 Hello, I’m Li Hua.

One American family decides to find out. They sent an invitation to a TV station, and asked the workers to record their daily life without the Internet for a month. When the workers meet the Smiths, they find that Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith and their two kids are so crazy about the Internet that they hardly do things together. At mealtimes, no one sits at the dining table for their food. “Everyone just runs into the kitchen, takes their food and then goes back to their screen,” Mrs. Smith explains. “If we don’t make a change, our family will become strangers to each other!” Getting back to a life without the Internet is not easy, especially when the Smiths lose themselves in it.

Most guests thought that with the rise of the Internet, TV was becoming less and less important in our lives. But I couldn’t completely agree with them. All guests in that talk said that many programs were not good enough. It is true that many channels(频道) offer nothing more than reruns or low-cost programs. However, I would say that many programs on the Internet also need to be improved. I agree to their idea that it is easy to keep up-to-date with the latest news on the Internet, but I’m sure most of us still enjoy sitting down to watch the news on TV in the evening just as much. Also, some guests said that the Internet was a great tool for research and I think this is the main advantage（优势）of it. I agree that programs on TV are made mainly for entertainment rather than for research. But criticizing TV for not being as good as the Internet is unfair. People will continue to love watching TV.

In a study of 2, 000 British adults (成年人) , 64% of people said they spend too much time looking at screens—and 73% said they can’t imagine (想象) going a day without looking at one. Six in 10 people said they have probably been looking at screens more while working at home. However, they also said that less than half of their screen time is effective (有效的). It also found that 41% of people were experiencing dry eyes more often than before. This may be because people don’t blink (眨眼) as often when looking at screens. Some people are trying to have less screen time, however. The survey (调查) found that 34% of participants (参与者) have been choosing to stop looking at screens in the evening, starting at the time of 8: 54 p. m. A 2021 report from Ofcom found that, in April this year, British people spent 6 hours and 25 minutes a day watching TV and online videos—almost a third more than the year before.

This happened in Guangdong Province in April last year. It shows how bad things can get if one becomes addicted to (沉迷) the Internet. To stop more teenagers from becoming addicted to the Internet, the Ministry of Education (MOE 教育部) sent a letter to all parents in China on April 20, 2018. It calls on them to pay more attention to (关注) their children’s online activities. The MOE also sent a notice to primary and middle schools, asking them to monitor (监督) students’ Internet use. From then on, schools would pay more attention to their students’ Internet use and their use of mobile phones. Schools have been told to teach students how to avoid violent (暴力的) online events. If students show signs of being addicted to the Internet, they can get help from their teachers to give up their addiction. Among China’s 772 million Internet users, about 151 million of them are between the ages of 10 and 19, according to the China Internet Network Information Center. It’s important to pay attention to how much time you spend online. To make better use of the Internet, experts advise that students should shorten their screen time to less than 1.5 hours a day.
