2 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落的开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

This summer vacation has nearly come to an end, but I have hardly finished reading any useful books or updated any satisfactory writings. With an empty head and a guilty feeling, I owe this to my involuntary addition to the mobile phone.

This is not because I have more free time and rely on my MP as a time-killer. On the contrary, I am occupied by various chores and time left at my will is only pieces of hours. I give up doing serious and creative things during these fragments of hours, making excuses for myself: “I am tired so I need to do something easy and relaxing...” But, sticking my face to the MP turns out to be by no means relaxing. My vision becomes more unclear and precious time is wasted.

The prime culprit(元凶) should be WeChat: Being quick-responsive to any message sent to me is a bad habit; Being afraid of losing track of what all my “friends” are doing comes at a price; The colorful ads of “daigou” sacks(洗劫) not only my purse... The other two accomplices (共犯) that l need to put in jail at once are Taobao and Koala (though I know I can’t bear to do that!)

I have to admit that a lot of apps provide much convenience to my life, such as dictionaries, maps, music, e-books and apps for stock dealing, for taxi booking, for ticket and hotel booking, for picture processing etc. The side effect is that I am so buried in these attractive apps that I just can’t put my MP down, close my eyes for a while and think what my priority is.

注意：
1. 续写内容应为150词左右；

At night, I happily get onto my bed with a book in my hand, hoping to enjoy some “quality” time by myself.

Now I am looking at the desktop of my mobile phone, full of apps.

5 . As young people spend more time on computers, iPad and other TV sets, researchers are asking how all that screen time affects children’s and teenagers’ ability to focus and learn — even drive cars.

An online survey offers a new question: how is technology affecting their happiness and emotional development? The answer, from girls ages 8 to 12 having the online habits, is that those who say they spend amounts of time using multimedia describe themselves in ways that suggest they are less happy and less socially comfortable than other teenagers who say they spend less time on screens.

Among the key questions that the researchers are not able to answer is whether the heavy use of media is the cause for the relative unhappiness or whether girls who are less happy to begin with are drawn to heavy use of media, in fact, coming to a virtual (虚拟的) world. But the researchers assume that heavy use of media is a main factor to the social challenges of girls.

The reason the researchers say is that on a basic level girls need to experience the full face-to-face communication, such as learning to read body language and facial expressions.

Lucy Gray, 45, who lives in Chicago, said her daughter, Julia, 13 has been a heavy consumer of media for several years -she watches movies on her laptop, and has an iPad, an iPhone and a Nintendo DS portable game machine. Ms. Gray said that Julia can have trouble getting on with other people especially adults in face-to-face interactions, but she is not ready to blame her daughter’s heavy use of technology.

In fact, she thinks that, on the whole, the technology has helped her daughter navigate (航行) the world socially. “She’d be missing out on an opportunity if she wasn’t connected,” she said.

At the same time, Ms. Gray said she worries that her daughter, who is using Facebook more, is playing out her social life online sometimes without the benefits of the full emotional range that comes from face-to-face interaction.

“It’s a double-edged sword,” Ms. Gray said to social media.

1. What is the disadvantage of online habit for young girls?

A．They are more likely to cause car accidents.

B．They are less likely to be liked by teachers at school.

C．They may feel uncomfortable and unhappy in social life.

D．They may be cheated into doing something bad at school.

2. With heavy use of media, girls may tend to be _________.

A．led into a world breaking away from the reality

B．inspired to devote themselves to learning science

C．directed to come to a world of happiness and luck

D．encouraged to face the challenges of the unhappy life

3. Girls may face more social challengers because they _________.

A．are not good at making friends online

B．lack real communication experience in general

C．are careless at seeing others’ facial expressions

D．spend too much time studying at and after school

4. What will Ms. Gray do with Julia’s heavy use of technology?

A．She will allow her to use her iPad and iPhone only.

B．She will forbid her to use any kind of media.

C．She will allow her to use the media on weekends.

D．She will allow her to use all the media as usual.

5. What does Ms. Gray concern when it comes to Julia’s use of social media?

A．Their quarrels are about whether she should use the media.

B．Julia likes to meet the real people knowing of on Facebook.

C．Julia’s performance isn’t good enough in real social life.

D．Julia spends too much time sending text messages.

6 . Digital assistants such as Siri are increasingly common on phones and computers. Developing an emotional relationship with a piece of software can, however, bring discomfort to some people.

As a study published in Psychological Science by Park Daeun, of Chungbuk National University in South Korea, and her colleagues, shows, one emotion sometimes involved in machine-human interaction is embarrassment.

Dr Park and her team recruited 187 participants into their study. To start with, each was presented with a series of statements like “you have a certain amount of intelligence, and you can’t really do much to change it”, and “you can always substantially change how intelligent you are”. Participants rated their responses to these statements on a six-point scale, on which one meant “strongly disagree” and six meant “strongly agree”. The reason for this initial test was that Dr. Park knew from previous work that, in academic settings, those who believe intelligence to be changeable are comfortable asking for assistance while those who believe it to be fixed often feel ashamed to do so.

The initial test done, the researchers presented their volunteers with a second test, which involved looking at 16 sets of three words and trying to think of a fourth word that linked them. For example, when offered “room, blood, salts” , a correct answer would be “bath”. Sometimes the first three words were accompanied by an unrequested hint (in the example given, this was “tub”). Sometimes they were not.

Hints appeared as the written form of the word in question,accompanied bya computer-shaped icon (图形). For half of participants this icon had a humanlike face, and the hint was placed inside a speech bubble originating from that face, thus anthropomorphising (赋予人性) the presentation to some degree. For the other half the icon lacked a face and there was no speech bubble. After the final set of words had been displayed, participants were asked to agree or disagree with follow-up statements about their experience, such as “it was embarrassing to receive help during the task”, and “others might think I am incompetent (无能的) because I received help during the task.” This time, they quantified their feelings on a seven-point scale, with high scores representing greater feelings of unease.

The researchers found that participants who believed intelligence to be unchangeable (the top sixth of the sample) felt more embarrassed and more incompetent after the tests. They averaged 3.2 when measured for feelings of shame and embarrassment if the computer icons they had seen giving the hints had had faces and speech bubbles. But only 2.7 if not. In contrast, people who strongly believed that intelligence could be changed over time (the bottom sixth of the sample) felt the same level of discomfort (around 2.5) whether or not the icons had been anthropomorphised.

1. The initial test is meant to classify the participants according to ________.

A．how intelligent they are in academic settings

B．how familiar they are with previous research

C．how much they agree with Dr Park’s viewpoint

D．how much they believe intelligence is unchangeable

2. In the second test, the participants were required to ________.

A．request a useful hint at a proper time

B．link the four words given with a key word

C．tell computer-shaped icons from face-shaped ones

D．answer whether they feel comfortable to receive help

3. What can be inferred from the results of Dr. Park and his team’s study?

A．Those who believe intelligence can change are more likely to refuse computers’ assistance.

B．Those regarding intelligence as fixed may feel less at ease when turning to computers.

C．Those regarding intelligence as fixed are more likely to feel embarrassed in real life.

D．Those who believe intelligence can change are more capable than those who don’t.

4. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

A．How machine-human interaction will develop remains to be seen.

B．People need to change their understanding of artificial intelligence.

C．Sometimes, computer programs seem too human for their own good.

D．So far, the digital assistants have not taken human emotion into account.

7 . Critics who don’t themselves make music “SHOULD BE UNEMPLOYED”, the American singer Lizzo tweeted to her 222,000 followers this week. The star was reacting angrily to an unfavorable review of her new album Cuz I Love You.

Lizzo was wrong about this. Publishers, studios and artists have always been publicists (推介者) as well as creators. Independent voices offer a crucial counterweight. Critics help people determine which music, TV, books and plays to spend their time and money on, and to make the most of those choices. The Internet has made it easier to sample culture, while social media has vastly increased the range of word of mouth. But in this digital age, the critics’ role has become more important.

Judgments, whether of opera or soap opera, are subjective. What is considered beautiful or interesting depends on perspective. But knowledge and experience matter. A person who has been reading poetry for decades, or has seen a play many times, will be able to tell you things about a new poem or performance that others can’t—even, sometimes, their creators.

Disagreement is healthy. Artists are free to disagree with critics, just as other critics are. The Internet was supposed to make this whole process more democratic (民主的) and open, since it could publish far more opinions than the printed pages of old. The wisdom of the crowd, in all its diversity, would enhance that of the traditional gatekeepers.

This partly worked. It is much easier to access a range of views than it used to be. Lively arguments about talked-about shows can quickly spread. But social media also provides a platform for performers to reveal their sensitivity, or for armies of fans to attack anyone who dares to dislike a favored star.

The evil critic, motivated by envy of creativity, is an overused term to flatter (奉承) artists. True, reviewers can be mean. Criticism is the exercise of judgment, and this applies to what is said but also how and to whom; as a rule, novices (新手) should be treated more gently. Yet performers and others who hate unpleasant words should be careful what they wish for. Critics are part of the proof that culture matters.

1. Why do critics understand a poem better than their creators?

A．Because they understand readers’ tastes better.	B．Because they are more experienced in poetry.
C．Because they draw on various online opinions.	D．Because they dare to disagree with artists.

2. In which way does the Internet benefit critics?

A．It makes their judgements more objective.	B．It conveys their opinions to more people.
C．It provides different opinions for reference.	D．It helps them sense the artists’ sensitivity.

3. What is the author’s attitude towards the Internet publishing more opinions?

A．Favorable.

B．Unclear.

C．Cautious.

D．Intolerant.

4. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?

A．The term “evil critic” should be abandoned.	B．Critics should be more gentle in their reviews.
C．New critics should be careful with their words.	D．Artists should accept unfavorable reviews.
