studentsstudents gogo phone freephone free a middle school in union county new jersey is forcing its students to stay disconnected in class by prohibiting cellphones maxson middle school principal kevin stansbury put forward the phone ban last week after he noticed some major issues in the school our test scores were down discipline was up he says according to him students were too focused on their phones to pay attention to their lessons so he purchased yondr pouches for the school when students come into class each morning they place their phones in the pouch which is then locked up tight it can only be opened using a special device at the end of the day the ban on mobile devices applies not just during class time but during breaks with the only exceptions being in 7 times of emergency or in cases of students who need such devices to help with disabilities yondryondr pouchpouch eighth graders who spoke with news 12 new jersey say that they noticed a change in a matter of hours it s just better for everyone because you ll understand how it feels to get more work done instead of paying attention to the phone says student charlene v i m usually listening to music but today i got to communicate with all my friends says student desiree duncan the program was originally met with resistance from students and parents so the process was not that smooth but teachers and administrators say that the program will have a major impact students were talking and laughing and there were no cellphones other than being carried in the pouches stansbury says teacher nia cummings says she even noticed students bouncing ideas off each other in class she says students used to give up quickly and just look for answers on their phones she says they now try to figure it out themselves everyone is socializing and eating lunch together that s what i wasn t seeing enough of when phone usage was at its worst she adds maxson middle school is currently the only one in the district to use these pouches kevin stansbury also called on all the schools in the community that it s worth paying close attention to cellphone issues at secondary schools and taking actions when necessary 34 maxson middle school put forward the phone ban because students a weren t focused on school workb were always listening to music c used phones to cheat on exams d stopped talking with others 35 what did the two eighth graders tell the newspaper a opposition from students b teamwork with friends c daily routine at school d effect of the program 36 according to nia cummings what change has the phone ban brought 8 a students discuss more in class b students finish their work on time c students guess the answers themselves d students check messages during the break 37 it can be inferred from the passage that the phone ban a has brought little change to teaching and learning b has gained support from every student and parent c might be carried out in other schools in the community d might have good influence on students health conditions c c living alone in nature is the kind of decision that looks great on paper you could move away from the pressures of city life to somewhere with a lower cost of living and more privacy you could enjoy scenic views all year round and adopt a simpler way of life it s not hard to see the appeal of this at all but what happens when that all goes wrong paul kingsnorth is a distinguished writer his novel the wake was longlisted for the booker prize and won the gordon burn prize his books help develop an awareness of place and history so it s not hugely surprising that his latest book savage gods is about his own rural existence savage gods is in part about kingsnorth his wife and their children moving to western ireland he writes in my country a small house and a field is beyond the means of anyone who doesn t earn much money or who refuses to get into debt to chase a dream it s a feeling that anyone who s looked longingly at rural tiny houses miles from anyone else can relate to but kingsnorth is aware that this is only part of the story because i am not a real farmer i have to make my money in other places he writes i need the internet or the dublin to holyhead ferry and sometimes both to put food on my family s table to make matters worse kingsnorth s isolation 隔 离 results in a crisis of confidence in his own writing abilities which becomes one of the central themes of savage gods 9 kingsnorth isn t the only writer to make time spent in a vivid countryside landscape sound less enjoyable than one might expect the french writer sylvain tesson takes this to what may be its most extreme point in his book he lived alone for six months his book includes impressive descriptions of the landscape and what it s like to experience depression in the middle of such a landscape some books neatly remind you of the appeal of such an existence while others make the drawbacks central to their accounts in names for the sea moss summarizes the attraction of wilder places we d come for the landscape for the pale nights and dark shores rain sweeping over trees and bushes she writes from that it s not hard to see why a life in nature even with its potential downsides still appeals to so many 38 according to paragraph 1 living in isolation makes people a look greatb reveal their privacy c overcome pressuresd enjoy a lower living cost 39 what does the underlined word this in paragraph 3 refer to a paul kingsnorth helps readers develop an awareness of time and space b paul kingsnorth starts to have doubts about his ability as a writer c paul kingsnorth s family live comfortably in a rural house d paul kingsnorth couldn t afford a tiny rural house 40 what do you know about paul kingsnorth a he thinks it a perfect idea to live alone in nature b he earns money somewhere else to make ends meet c his latest book is about the attraction of wilder places d living in the countryside landscape results in his depression 41 why does the author mention sylvain tesson and his book a to inform readers of a famous french writer b to praise him for his marvelous writing skills c to explain how to live in the peaceful countryside 10 d to emphasize more writers experience similar problems d d elon musk perhaps the world s most famous businessman has a habit of making statements that stretch the bounds of believability on july 16th 2019 he introduced a new type of brain machine interface bmi starting from the design of a neural lace 神经织网 a net of thin electrodes 电极 that capture the information from the brain however the electrodes must be flexible so that they do not damage brain tissue and will last for a long time and to make the implantation 植入 of so many electrodes safe painless and effective the process has to be automated mr musk s team does indeed seem to have made progress towards these goals its presentation included videos of a robot that is best described as a sewing machine this robot grabs threads and shoots them deep into the brain through a hole the firm has also designed a chip that can handle signals from as many as 3 072 electrodes with all these technological breakthroughs the firm now hopes to help people overcome such illnesses as blindness and paralysis they designed a small device that would sit behind someone s ear picking up signals from the implanted chip and passing them on as appropriate in a few years using a brain implant to control your devices may be as prevalent as wearing wireless earphones today finally musk predicts neural lace will allow humans to be combined with ai systems thus enabling the species to survive though as this announcement shows mr musk does have a habit of presenting himself as the hero of the human race the idea that some machines at least will come under the direct control of human brains seems possible to be carried out the biggest barrier to this happening will probably not be writing the software needed to interpret brainwaves but rather persuading people that the necessary surgery whether by sewing machine or otherwise is 11 actually a good idea 42 we can learn from the first two paragraphs that a electrodes should be flexible to extend life b elon musk constantly comes up with unexpected ideas c a neural lace is used to store information from the brain d electrodes are implanted by top surgeons for safety reasons 43 what does the underlined word prevalent in paragraph 4 probably mean a useful b common c professional d appropriate 44 what is the hardest part of carrying out bmi a convincing people to accept the surgery b developing devices to perform the surgery c writing the software to interpret brainwaves d informing people of the success of the surgery 45 what is the best title of this passage a the neural lace a new type of bmi b elon musk the hero of human beings c artificial intelligence the way to survive d a brain implant a step to control machines 第第 卷 共卷 共 6565 分 分 i i 选词填空 共选词填空 共 7 7 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 2 分 共分 共 1414 分 分 用方框中单词的适当形式完成下列句子 每个单词只能用一次 simple arrive lose response benefit hesitate fog 46 a good diet is to health 47 many
