What would you do if the Internet suddenly disappeared? A recent survey has shown that     1     number of people in the United Kingdom who do not want to use the Internet has risen. These people, who     2     (know) as “net refuseniks”,make up 44% of UK households, or 11.2 million people in number.

The research also showed that more than 70 percent of these people said that they were not     3     (interest) in getting connected to the Internet. This number has risen     4     just over 50% in 2005 to the present 70% , with most lacking in many computer     5     (skill) as a reason for not using the Internet, though some also said it was because of the cost.

More and more people are getting broadband(宽带) and high speed net     6     (be) almost everywhere in the UK, but there are still a lot of people who refuse     7     (take) the first step.

With the cost of getting online going down and internet speeds increasing, many net refuseniks begin to reconsider the     8     (connect) of the Internet. This would encourage them to get connected before they are left too far behind. If the gap(落差) between those     9     use the Internet and those don’t continues to widen, those without broadband will get left behind and miss many chances,     10     (especial) in their work.

3 . Though most dinosaurs are thought to have hunted primarily during the day, a little bird-like dinosaur may have been strictly a night hunter, a new study suggested.

The dinosaur, Shuvuuia deserti, was a small animal, about the size of a chicken, and it lived about 65 million years ago in the deserts of what is now Mongolia.

Shuvuuia's skeleton is among the most bizarre of all dinosaurs, the study said. It had a fragile, bird-like skull; strong arms with a single claw on each hand; and long legs. “ Acting at night, digging ability and long limbs are all features of animals that live in deserts today,“ said study lead author Jonah Choiniere, a University of the Witwatersrand scientist. “But it's surprising to see them all combined in a single dinosaur species that lived more than 65 million years ago." he added, “It had some of the largest pupils （瞳孔） ever measured in either birds or dinosaurs.”

“For many decades, dinosaurs were considered to be day-active,“ study coauthor Lars Schmitz, a biologist at the W.M. Keck Science Department in California, said in a statement. "Now we're adding new evidence that some small, predatory（食肉的）dinosaurs could have been night-active instead, which changes the thinking about dinosaurs."

The study investigated how vision and hearing abilities of dinosaurs and birds compared, and concluded that Shuvuuia's vision and hearing were not at all ideal for the daytime. Schmitz explained that the dinosaur's extraordinary hearing and night vision were beneficial for life in the desert, where high temperatures discouraged daytime hunting.

“We think it would have caught its prey — small mammals — at night when the temperatures were cooler, Schmitz told CNN.

The study was published Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal Science, a publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

4 . Herder (放牧人) Buchu Boru has to walk tens of kilometers in search of grassland for his animals during times of drought (干旱)—but he isn’t sure whether he will succeed or not. “Somebody tells you that there is grassland but on arriving, you don’t find any,” said the herder. But when the rains fail next time, he will have a new mobile phone app which will help him move his animals to grassland without too much cost or waste of time.

The Afriscout app, which uses satellite images to find where there is grass and water, claims to be better than what people in Africa are used to. With the app, African herders will be very sure where the grassland with water is and then they will just head there.

Afriscout that reduces the uncertainties associated with the journeys can help protect herds and incomes, making families more adaptable to the severe conditions.

Afriscout, developed by Project Concern International (PCI), a California-based development organization, was first released in Boru’s area in February. The app so far has had about 3,000 users in Kenya, but PCI hopes to increase the number to 4,000 once it finishes mapping Samburu Country, home to the Samburu herding community. It is already used in Tanzania and Ethiopia and PCI plans to expand it in other African countries like Niger soon, said Brenda Wandera, the organization's acting representative in Kenya.

However, the new app faces a few challenges, including limited mobile phone connectivity in some areas, and broad use of old-style mobile phones rather than smart phones. Now, few herders in the region own smart phones—but that may change if they find the app useful.

1. Why dose Boru walk a long distance during drought?

A．To harvest some grass.	B．To move to a new place.
C．To search for drinkable water.	D．To find food for his animals.

B．It can take photos of a satellite.

C．It will be used in more African countries.

D．It eases Kenyan environmental problems.

3. From which section of a website is the text probably taken?

A．Environment.	B．Technology.
C．Lifestyle.	D．Economy.

4. Which one can be the best title of the text?

A．Hi-tech can protect animals and incomes.

B．Afriscout faces some challenges in Kenya.

C．An app helps herders cut risk from drought.

D．An organization invented an app for the poor.

7 . 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, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness in U. S. teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's 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.

1. Which method did Twenge's 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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
