out there which use Al.Some are being developed,some are already in use,and some failed and are being improved,so its very difficult to name a few of them and regard them as the best.Vi It is an Al personal trainer which is mainly concerned with fitness and coaching.It,however,requires the use of bio-sensing earphones and other fitness tracking equipment!It can play your favourite music while you work out and all you have to worry about is the exercise youre doing.Deep Text Do you ever wonder how an ad appears suddenly just when you are looking for something similar?This is because of Deep Text.It uses real-time consumer information to produce data which in turn is used to target consumers.Thus,if you search online for flight tickets fromBangaloretoDelhi,it is very likely that an ad relating to hotels inDelhiwill soon follow.Hello Egg If you live alone and miss your mother because you always miss your breakfast or dont know what to eat for dinner,then Hello Egg is exactly what you are looking for.A very healthy choice of the 2-minute noodles and oats,Hello Egg provides you with a detailed weekly meal plan about the needs of your body.It is truly a modern AI-powered home cooking tool for the young.Wordsmith You can put Mr.Smith into your Microsoft Excel using their free API,and let it write up detailed analysis of the stories behind your numbers.It can produce

above.As the car drives,the map follows along in real time,alarming you to any traffic,pedestrians,animals,or other things nearby.Routes and names of roads appear over the live stream.Its like the map has come to life.This type of map isnt available yet.But it could be soon.In 2014,the Worldview-3 satellites was launched into space.Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles（600 km）away,it can capture images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches（25cm）across.Peeringall the way from outer space,it can make out a smartphone held in your hand.It can tell what types of cars are traveling down a road.But it cant identify your face or read the cars license plate numbers.at least not openly.According to some reports,this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even sharper images,with a resolution（分辨率）of up to around 4 inches（10cm）.ButUS law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public,to prevent enemies from using them.But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem horrible.Live,high-detail satellite mapping could possibly be used to monitor anybody at any time.Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he is concerned about what this could mean for privacy.Most satellites are commercially owned,so if you have money you can buy that imagery.“It means anyone can spy on anyone,”he said.At the same time,live,detailed maps of Earths surface could be useful in amazing ways.Live maps of a disaster area could quickly discover people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out.Satellite images are already helping catch illegal logging and fishing operations.Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act.The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops.What do you think?Do you wish everyone could access high-detail live maps of Earths surface?4.What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?A.Seeing B.Standing C.Walking D.Hearing 5.Why does US law forbid making super-sharp pictures public?A.to protect the technology.B.for the sake of safety.C.to protect the environment.D.to threat other countries.6.Which of

if you use the super-sharp map.D.The super-sharp map should be completely forbidden.7.How is this technology used in agriculture?A.It can help improve the production of crops.B.It can help kill pests.C.It can help farmer to watch over their crops from far away.D.It can help increase farm land.C A 10-year-old swimmer with sky-high dreams and a name to match them has broken a record previously

Swimming Record B.A 10-Year-Old Swimmer with Sky-high Dreams C.Phelps and His Amazing Swimming Record D.Clark Kent-the Greatest Athlete of All Time D Happiness is not a warm phone,according to a new study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time.The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M.Twenge at San Diego State University(SDSU).To research this link,Twenge,along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W.Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia,dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future(MtF)study,a nationally representative survey of more than a million U.S.8th-,10th-,and 12th-graders.The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones,tablets and computers,as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices playing computer games,using social media,texting and video chatting were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports,reading newspapers and magazines,and face-to-face social interactions.The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use,Twenge said.Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media,and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising two activities reliably linked to greater happiness.Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s,its easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU.S.teens.Specifically,young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012.Thats the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent.By far the largest change in teens lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media,and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.12.Which method did Twenges team use for the study?A.Calculating students happiness.B.Asking students certain questions.C.Analyzing data from a survey.D.Doing experiments on screen time.13.How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A.By making a comparison.B.By giving an example.C.By making an argument.D.By introducing a concept.14.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A To draw a conclusion from the study.B.To offer some advice to the readers.C.To prove social activities importance.D.To support the researchers finding.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Quitting Phones Equals Happiness B.Screen Time Should Be Banned C.Teens Lives Have Changed Sharply D.Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 How to Make Sure Your Idea Doesnt Die Getting great ideas?Its Easy.Following up on them is hard!_16_.Ask“Why doesnt this
