But like many friends I know, I was also starting to feel like my visits to Facebook were just a waste of time. Of course, the obvious move would just be to steer clear of Facebook and other social media sites. But as a writer, I have to use social media several times a day. And once I'm in the site, it's almost impossible to take no notice of those notices reminding me of posts in my personal feed (信息推送). I felt like I had to find the one or two meaningful posts that made my social media feed worth the time. Then I came across a post by Melissa Hartwig, the founder of the Whole30 program. In the post she said "Don't act like social media just happens to you; make it work FOR YOU." It hit home with me. I immediately set out to change the way I was using social media. I hid and unfollowed groups and accounts(账户)that were not adding something active to my life. I didn't stop to think. I just clicked my way through the feed. I'm not burying my head in the sand. I continue to follow people whose opinions on different topics differ from my own, but their words are interesting and open-minded. Then I limited my interaction(互动) on social media. Unless I had something to say, I no longer interacted. A study found that inactive use of social media has a bad effect on our mood, while active usesharing thoughts and commenting on others' postsimproved mood. The result? I can say without doubt that I no longer worry about getting into a time-wasting vacuum(真空). That's because my feed is nowhere near as bottomless as it once was.16. Which word can best replace the underlined part "steer clear of" in Paragraph 2?A. Share.B. Explore.C. Quit.D. Improve.17. What made the author want a change?A. His friends' influence.B. A sentence in a post.C. The Whole30 program.D. A talk with Melissa Hartwig.18. How did the author change his use of social media?A. He set a time limit.B. He hid his own accounts.C. He interacted less with others.D. He no longer read different opinions.19. What can we learn about the author's change?A. It met great difficulties.B. It was a waste of time.C. It attracted more friends.D. It got a satisfying result.B Life in the Internet age is lonely-or is it? That's what experts in human interaction are debating after a new Stanford University survey has been published. According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for real-life relationships with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web's influence on daily activities.36% of those people are online for more than five hours a week. "As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have an increasingly isolating(孤立的) effect on society, "says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers. Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the "isolating" point. While 13% of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60% reported watching less TV. The survey also shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity, If some of webheads(网虫) spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via E-mails, "that's a move toward greater connectedness, "says Paul Resnick, a professor at the University of Michigan. This isn't the first claim that the Web should be criticized, A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families' Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more "talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed. "says Robert Kraut. "It's true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines began before the Internet was invented," says Thomas Putnam. As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life-not better or worse than before, but just different.20. Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?A. Robert Kraut.B. Paul Resnick.C. Thomas Putnam.D. Amitay Etzioni.21. The underlined word "This" in Para.4 refers to _.A. the study conducted by Stanford UniversityB. the survey made by the University of MichiganC. the conclusion in a report written in 1998D. the opinion expressed in Bowling Alone22. From the passage we learn that _.A. watching TV used to take time away from staying onlineB. 36% of web users spend more than five hours a week onlineC. the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effectD. the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions23. The passage mainly discusses _.A. how we can make a better use of the InternetB. whether the Internet causes an isolating effectC. how declines in social connectedness appearD. what a different life the Internet brings to usC The alarm sounds. Students swing their backpack over their shoulders, board the school bus, make their way to their homeroom and the bell rings-school is back. But for more homes in America, school looks more like students waking up, making their way to the dining room or home office, setting up laptops and learning in the comfort of home. Virtual(虚拟的) schooling, defined as"a public school that offers only instruction in which students and teachers are separated by time and/or the location, and communication occurs through computers and/or telecommunications technology", has increased over the past decade. According to the National Education Policy Center, enrollments(注册) in virtual schools increased by 17,000 students between the 2015-2016 school year and the 2016-2017 school year to 295,518 students. For Arizona Virtual Academy, a full online public K12 charter school, they use the curriculum of K12 Inc. K12 serves students in all 50 states and more than 100 countries with digital learning platforms and technology, providing online education. "We always are improving our platforms and the technology that we use to make sure that we're keeping up with the changing trends(趋势), not only with education but also with technology," Dr. Kelly Van Sande said. Another piece of new technology they've rolled out is a new app where parents can find virtual schools available in their area. Carrie Faulkner chose to enrol two of her children in Arizona Virtual Academy. She said they had done schooling online in Chicago, in California, at restaurants and on her cousin's floor in Kansas. "It doesn't mater whether my son is on the couch, in his bed or at the kitchen table-he can do schooling wherever he wants to," Faulkner said. "I wish they had it for me back when l was in school. That would have been fantastic."24. Whats the purpose of paragraph 1?A. To give an example of virtual schooling.B. To introduce the topic "virtual schooling".C. To describe students going to school in detail.D. To show the disadvantages of real schooling.25. How many students attended virtual schools during the 2015-2016 school year?A. 17,000.B. 261,518.C. 278,518.D. 295,518.26. What can we infer about Arizona Virtual Academy?A. They provide both online and offline education.B. Theyre intended for students in the United States.C. Their new app lets people find schools nationwide.D. Their platforms and technology are very advanced.27. What is Carrie Faulkner's attitude to virtual schooling?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Indifferent.D. Concerned.D Artificial intelligence (AI) is practically everywhere today. There are so many products out there which use Al. Some are being developed, some are already in use, and some failed and are being improved so it's very difficult to name a few of them and regard them as the best.
