Using Computers and the Internet in Schools

Nowadays, computers and the Internet are very important in schools. They help students learn in new and exciting ways. Here is a closer look at how schools are using technology to help students.

    1    

In many classrooms, every student has a computer or a tablet. They use these devices to look up information quickly and to learn about new topics. For example, if they are studying about the rainforest, they can watch videos, read articles, and even take virtual tours of rainforests around the world. This makes learning more fun and interesting.

    2    

Teachers are now using special programs on their computers to make learning more fun. They can create quizzes that students take on their tablets. These quizzes give instant feedback, so students know right away what they got right and what they need to study more. Teachers can also find games and activities online that match what they are teaching in class. This way, students can practice math, spelling, and other subjects in a way that feels like playing.

    3    

Homework and projects are also changing because of technology. Students can now work on group projects without having to be in the same room. They use online tools to share documents, create presentations, and talk about their ideas. This helps them learn how to work with others, even when they are not together. Teachers can check on their progress easily and give advice or help when needed.

A. Learning with Videos and Articles
B. Working Together While Apart
C. Learning While Having Fun
D. Having Fun in Playing Online

4 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Nowadays, many kids enjoy eating junk food, even though it is not good for their health. Many people have started     1     (realize) how serious this issue is. However, junk food     2     (remain) popular because it tastes good. Some     3     (kid) think it is a sign of     4     (free) to choose what they want, while others find junk food convenient,     5     (especial) when they do not have time for a proper meal.

Eating too much junk food can lead to several health problems. This includes obesity and other diseases     6     (cause) by a lack of essential nutrients. The most common problems are weight gain and malnutrition (营养不良). Moreover, unhealthy eating habits can also be     7     waste of money and may lead to serious long-term health problems.

We all know that eating unhealthy food does harm     8     our bodies. In order to maintain good health,     9     is important to eat balanced and healthy meals. Please consider choosing     10     (healthy) food options for a better lifestyle.

5 . Imagine you’re in a sci-fi (科幻小说) world, and you video-call your friends. You might see them in a three-dimensional(3D) way or in holograms (全息影像). Although this isn’t possible in real life yet, researchers recently made holograms easier to create, said a new study.

To take a 3D photo of a person, most hologram technologies need special cameras. They record how the person looks from different angles under different lights. This information makes the hologram look lifelike. However, holograms can’t be widely used because they are difficult to make.

The researchers from Chiba University in Japan made a new computer program. It can turn normal pictures we take into 3D holograms.

Their program used a technology called deep neural networks (深度神经网络). First, it receives information from an image taken by a normal camera. It then predicts the depth of things in the image. For example, in a 3D photo, the background should be deeper than the person.

With all the information, the program creates a 3D hologram. But it can look strange at first. The program will then check the hologram to fix problems and make it look more real.

The program can be used to create holograms in VR headsets (头显设备). For example, a user sends a picture, and the other user can see the “real” look of it in 3D. If it’s used in cars, drivers can see information, such as road signs, in 3D. This makes it easier for the drivers to see and thus makes sure that they won’t miss important information.

In the future, when holograms become more common, they can also help doctors. Medical students can learn quickly by looking at 3D images of the human body, and doctors can better understand a patient’s illness.

1. What does the new program make use of to create a hologram?

A．A normal picture.	B．A special camera.
C．Recordings from different angles.	D．Recordings under different lights.

2. Compared to the traditional technologies, the new program is ______.

A．more natural

B．more expensive

C．easier

D．more predictable

3. How might holograms in cars benefit drivers?

A．They make driving more enjoyable.

B．Drivers will find road information easily.

C．They will help predict dangers and traffic.

D．Drivers needn’t mind the cars behind.

4. What does the last paragraph tell us?

A．Doctors make no mistakes with holograms.

B．Patients won’t suffer with holograms.

C．We can live in a 3D world.

D．Holograms might be used in the medical field.

6 . I had spent an hour in the bank with my dad for transferring money(转账).

I like coming to the bank. I have enough time and it is the ‘physical touch’ that I________. Two years ago when I got sick, the store owner from whom I often buy fruits came to see me and chatted with me.

8 . Eleven-year-old Australian girl Tilly Williams has broken a world distance running record, beating other girls who were eight years older than her to run 5,000m in just 17 minutes and 22.7 seconds. The primary schoolgirl beat the previous record by 19 seconds, making her the fastest distance runner under the age of 19 across 60 countries.

Tilly started running just two years ago and has already shot straight to the top. When some of her friends told her about the international record, she decided to give it a go. “Some of my running friends told me about it and I said, wow, it would be crazy if I got that and here I am,” Tilly said.

Tilly has always loved keeping active, alongside her twin brother Henry and little sister Rosie. “I am the kind of person who really enjoys the challenge,” Tilly said. “I really love surfing and I love bike riding and hiking — all different kinds of adventures and sports.” She started running in 2021 when she joined her school’s cross-country team. Since then, she has run two to three times a week with her dad, Mark Williams, or at the Adelaide Harriers Athletics Club. “Everyone is really supportive and it really encourages me,” Tilly said.

Tilly said she has been inspired by runners Caitlin Adams, Tara Palm, and her favourite book character, Roald Dahl’s Matilda. “I could really relate to the main character Matilda because she set herself goals and really had to work hard to achieve them,” she said. Tilly has a dream of competing in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. By the way, Tilly doesn’t follow a strict diet, so her favourite food is still on the menu-her dad’s home-cooked pizza.

1. What is the new world record set by Tilly Williams?

A．17 minutes and 22.7 seconds.	B．17 minutes and 41. 7 seconds.

9 . There are many places to see lovely giant pandas in China. But where is the best place for you to go for a special panda trip? What is the best time to go? Here are some recommendations.

If you just want to see giant pandas, we recommend you to go to Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Base. It is the most easily accessible panda base. You can see pandas at different ages. This base is huge but usually crowded.

If you are looking for a deeper panda experience, you can join a panda volunteer program. Giant panda volunteer programs are available in three panda bases: Dujiangyan, Wolong, and Bifengxia. They take about 1 to 3 days or longer. Dujiangyan is the best place for a one-day program. If you want a less-crowded environment, consider Wolong and Bifengxia, though they require 2 or more days. Your work would include weighing and cleaning bamboo, making panda cakes, watching pandas being fed, and cleaning pandas’ enclosures (围场). At the end of the program, you will receive a panda keeper certificate.

Giant pandas don’t go into winter sleep. You can visit them in all four seasons. Spring and autumn are the best times to see pandas when they are most active and temperatures are most comfortable. If you visit between August and November, you will probably see lovely panda babies.

Giant pandas spend almost half their time sleeping. Grown-up giant pandas in captivity (圈养) usually eat twice a day: early in the morning and late in the afternoon. They usually sleep around noon, any time from around 10:00 a. m. to around 2:00 p. m. We recommend you to get to a panda base as early as possible, when it is less crowded and the pandas are at their most active.

1. How can you get your best experience for your panda trip?

A．Visiting it during Chinese holidays.	B．Joining a volunteer program.
C．Taking a private tour in the afternoon.	D．Participating in Dujiangyan’s one-day program.

2. What is included in the volunteer programs at Dujiangyan, Wolong, and Bifengxia bases?

A．Preparing bamboo.	B．Feeding pandas.
