Kids see the iPad as the a-in-one digital tool, giving them a unique sense of independence, the researchers say.Tyree notes that iPad’s march to the top has been dramatic. “In just five years, the iPad has risen from ranking 109th to being kids’ fav orite brand. Early on, it captured the hearts of tweens and middle and upper class families, but iPad is now an indispensable part of childhood for the masses.”On the study iPad was tops with a weighted score of 898 out of 1000. Disney came at 858, Google’s YouTube 852, McDonald’s 839, iPhone 830 and Apple 829. Digital entertainment overall is seeing an increase among kids and families, with brands such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, Android, and Samsung posting noteworthy increases in the study, a measure of Kid’s awareness, popularity, and love for a brand. Along with iPad, these devices and services provide entertainment that is “always on”.Offering seemingly endless options, tablets and digital content providers are meeting contemporary kid’s needs—with fun and connectivity never more than a tap away.4．What is the “tablet takeover” movement according to the passage?A．In the movement everyone owns an iPad.B．It refers to the shift from watching TV together to using an iPad separately.C．In the movement people become more independent in entertainment.D．In the movement people receive more information from an iPad than from TV.5．What makes an iPad appealing to the kids?A．An iPad helps the kids build up stronger relationships with their parents.B．An iPad can develop the kids’ reading skills.C．With an iPad, the kids can become a better learner.D．They can watch TV shows using an iPad.6．What is the correct ranking according to scores from the study of Smarty Pants?A．Disney—YouTube—Apple—iPhone—iPad—McDonald’s.B．iPad—Disney—YouTube—McDonald’s—iPhone—Apple.C．iPhone—Disney—iPad—McDonald—YouTube—Apple.D．iPad—Apple—iPhone—McDonald’s—Disney—YouTube.7．What can we infer from the passage?A．Apple’s iPad can develop the kids’ creativity.B．Tablet and digital providers can never meet the kids’ needs.C．An iPad can provide the kids with most entertainment.D．An iPad’s fun and connection to the Internet attracts the kids most.CFairy tales focus on creating a fantasy world to the reader encouraging imagination and teaching problem-solving skills. It is equally important that they provide influential moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI (artificial intelligence) can take to its cold and mechanical heart.The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fairy tales, novels and other literature. We believe story comprehension in robots can eliminate the immoral behavior of the the intelligent robots, which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in technology including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called “Quixote” (堂吉诃德). It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line; it can interact with the store keeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives (指令), the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion.Quixote would run best on a robot that has a very limited function. It’s a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means.8．What is the robot really expected to do in the experiment?A．To purchase some medicine for a human.B．To finish the task as efficiently as possible.C．To perform in a socially acceptable way.D．To perform under the designer’s instructions.9．What does the underlined word mean?A．Praise. B．Promote. C．Rid. D．Strengthen.10．Which of the following information can we get?A．Quixote has already been widely used in robots.B．Robots will be definitely designed with limited function.C．The development of robots is still in a baby step.D．Robots are necessarily to be trained to follow social codes.11．What’s the text mainly about?A．Using stories to teach moral to robots. B．Speeding up the development of robots.C．Preventing robots from behaving badly. D．Training robots to read fairy tales.DI loved watching comedians on television as a kid. I’d hear a joke and ask myself: why it got a laugh? What made it work? Could I ever make it as a comedian? But first I had to finish school and earn a living.After graduation, I worked as an accountant, managing the petty cash in the drawer. It was in this area that I developed my own very odd theory of accounting: If you got a couple of dollars , everything was okay(The theory never really caught on). Every day I’d have to check what was in the drawer wi th the receipts. It never balanced. At first I’d be tearing my hair out until I found the balance. Finally, one day I pulled the amount I was short of from my pocket and called it a day. Mr. Hutchinson, head of accounting, discovered my shortcut to balanci ng petty cash. he lectured me: “These are not sound accounting principles.” I said: “I’m not cut out for accounting. Why would you pay me $6 an hour to spend four hours finding $1.40?”Meanwhile, I often called my friend Ed Gallagher to kill boring afternoons, imitating things from my everyday world and identifying myself as plant manager of a yeast factory. “Sir”, it is Mr. Tomkins. We have a problem at your yeast factory. There’s a fire. I’d like you to hold on. Are you still there?”Ed Gallagher heard the routines and offered to provide the money to record them and send them to radio stations. Three wrote back asking how much we wanted .Soon I was on the air.Being a comedian is out of place with my intention, though. I left the world of accounting and took a series of part-time jobs to get me through, hoping for a big chance.12．Why did he love watching comedians on television?A．He just wanted to be a comedian as they were.B．He wanted to make a living as a comedian.C．He was curious about their way of humour.D．He was good at thinking and raising questions.13．How did the author practice his odd theory of balancing?A．He stole the receipts to balance the account. B．He got enough dollars to keep everything okay.C．He contributed his own money to the drawer. D．He adopted a sensible and simple principle.14．What can we learn from the text?A．The head of accounting paid too much for his work.B．The author loved being funny and was imaginative.C．The author would patiently find the balance at the beginning.D．The author’s record of the routines was a complete failure.15．What’s the writing style of the text?A．Humorous. B．Critical. C．Ridiculous. D．Serious.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

S. theaters and HBO Max on Dec.25，nine days after it starts appearing at cinemas in international markets, Warner Bros.，said in a statement Wednesday. HBO Max subscribers will have a month to see the movie at no additional cost.The film's director, Patty Jenkins, confirmed the move earlier in a tweet, saying that fans should see the movie in theaters if it's safe to do so-otherwise, they can enjoy it at home. Releasing a would-be hit like Wonder Woman 1984 to home and theater audiences meanwhile would have been unthinkable earlier this year, and for decades before that. However, the pandemic has made it impossible for studios to generate the kind of returns at the box office they need to recover their investments in big films. Cinemas in two of the biggest moviegoing markets in the US-Los Angeles and New York City-are closed entirely.Against this background, several major movies from other studios were shown online this year, including Walt Disney Co.'s Mulan. The studios have been typically charging about ＄20 to see those films at home. Wonder Woman 1984 won't have an extra fee, but it will require fans to sign up for HBO Max, which costs ＄15 a month.Under any other set of circumstances, a move like this would be decried by theater owners, whohave long enjoyed the right to exclusively show new hit films for two or three months. However, they've been struck by the effects of the coronavirus. Most cinemas have been closed for portions of 2020 and those that have reopened don't have many new movies to show. Most big films have been delayed until 2021.4.What makes the movie Wonder Woman 1984 different from other movies released thisyear？______A. The approach of releasing.B. The time it will be on show.C. High expectation from audience.D. The theaters where it will be released.5.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about？______A. The tough challenges studios have to face.B. Ways for film industry to recover from the pandemic.C. The influence the pandemic has had on film industry.D. The possible success of the movie Wonder Woman 1984.6.What does the underlined word " decried" in Paragraph 6 probably mean？______A. Appreciated.B. Accused.C. Valued.D. Commented.7.Where does this text probably come from______A. A news report.B. A film review.C. A movie advertisement.D. A hit fiction.CDuring the "golden week" national holiday that began on October 1st,hundreds of thousands of sightseers flocked to Lijiang,a picturesque historic town in the south-western province of Yunnan. Among its attractions are the symbols printed beneath the Chinese characters on road signs and shop fronts（Starbucks included）. They are Dongba pictographs,an ancient form of script（文字）that originated among the Naxi,a local ethnic group. It almost died until about a decade ago,when local officials began to realize its value and covered the town with it. Dongba was never widely used by the Naxi,of whom there are about 300，000 living in the Himalayan foothills near Lijiang, as well as in Tibet and Sichuan province. The pictographs,which evolved as early as the seventh century,were developed by shamans （巫师）of the Dongba faith, which has roots in Tibet.Over 20，000 of these religious records survive. They provide rich insight into how Naxi peoplethought about war,geography,astronomy and agriculture. But they are extremely hard to read. Linguists are helped by the area's Dongba priests（神职人员）. There are about 600，most of them very old,including Yang Guoxing, who ran a school from 2010 to 2015 to teach Dongba to children living in the mountains. When Mr Yang was growing up, "everyone was too busy farming" to learn it. Now they are all busy soaking up the pop culture, he says.Signs at bus stations in rural Yunnan encourage locals to use written and spoken Chinese. But the Naxi get off lightly compared with other ethnic minorities. Primary schools in Lijiang teach the Dongba script twice a week, as well as Naxi nursery rhymes. Li Dejing, head of the Dongba Culture Research Institute,says this is not just about keeping alive the pictographs, but letting children grasp "the very spirit of their own culture". And this will also help tourism to develop in Lijiang.8.What do we know about the Dongba script？______A. It is widely used by local people.B. It was a tool used by certain people.C. It was quite popular at certain periods.D. It has a history of more than 3000 years.9.According to Yang Guoxing, what makes it difficult to spread the Dongba script______A. Only priests can read it.B. It's extremely hard to read.C. Its value hasn't been fully recognized.D. People are too busy to learn a new language.10.What has been done to keep the Dongba script alive？______A. New schools are opened to teach it.B. Some tourists are invited to preserve it.C. Only the Dongba script can be used in schools.D. People are more exposed to this language than before.11.What is the best title of the text______A. The Dongba Script Is DyingB. The History of the Dongba ScriptC. The Dongba Script Survives in LijiangD. The Influence of the Dongba ScriptDBig, old trees are dying faster than in the past, leaving younger, less biodiverse forests that store less carbon worldwide. They give us paper and fuel, as well as vital ecological services-like cleaning the air, storing carbon and providing habitat. We're talking about trees, of course. But human changes to the environment appear to be causing profound changes to trees around the world.In a new study, scientists reviewed global research on trends in tree seedlings growth and death. They combined those data with an analysis of deforestation. And they found that worldwide, older trees are dying at a higher rate than in the past due to factors like rising air temperature, wildfires, drought and pathogens（病原菌）."And most of the drivers of that decrease in large, old trees are increasing themselves, such as temperature is going up, droughts are more severe, wildfires, windstorms and deforestation are all on the increase-although variable across the globe-they're generally increasing. And so for both the loss has already occurred, but we expect more continued loss of big, old trees." said Nate McDowell, an earth scientist at Pacific Northwest National Lab, who was one of the study's authors."So if we have an increasing rate of death, particularly of the larger, older trees, what's left are the younger trees. So that's why, on average, through the loss of bigger, older trees, our forests are becoming inherently（天生地）younger and shorter."This trend is a problem, because old trees are vitally important."For sure,the increase in death does limit the carbon storage of an ecosystem and can force the system to become a carbon source to the atmosphere. The second reason we care is from a biodiversity perspective：old trees tend to house a higher biodiversity than young forests do. And the third reason is aesthetic：as a society, we care about these trees. We have national parks named after these big trees. So there's a personal reason for people to care about this as well."12.What has the new study found about the forests？______A. Forests are getting younger and shorter.B. Many factors cause the death of big old trees.C. Old trees are beneficial to humans in many ways.D. The death of big old trees influences biodiversity.13.What do the underlined words " the drivers" in Paragraph 3 refer to______A. The death rates of big old trees.B. The trends in the death of big old trees.C. The human changes to the environment.D. The factors causing high death rate of old trees.14.How is the significance of big old trees illustrated？______A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing reasons.C. By listing facts.D. By providing figures.15.What's the purpose of the text______A. To call on people to protect old trees.B. To illustrate a phenomenon about old trees.C. To share the findings of a new study about trees.D. To analyze the reasons why some trees are dying faster.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Do you invest too much value into words added by strangers？No matter what you do or say,or how you act,people will always give their opinions about you.（1）______ Otherwise,you'll allow others' opinions to not only hurt you,but often define you. Here are ways to stop caring about what other people think of you.Keep in mind not everyone cares. Everyone is troubled by anxiety, and they might be too busy to immediately recognize yours. （2）______ They're always too busy thinking about their families, work, and whatever else to form a detailed opinion about you.Think about who you want to be. By allowing others' opinions to influence and dominate your life,you're handing them your power. If you can relate to this, ask yourself,what do you want？Are you making these choices only to impress others？（3）______Accept not everyone will like you. In life,some people will like you and others might not.（4）______ But most of the time, that's their mindset only, which has nothing to do with you. There will be people who will accept all of you and people who will be supportive and kind. These are the people who deserve to walk with you.（5）______ You may worry about ending up looking like a fool because of a mistake, but mistakes are unavoidable. When you overcome your fear of making mistakes and build resilience to the pain that may come from failure, you will be unstoppable. One way to deal with anxieties about messing up is to make a list of all the possible things that could go wrong.A. Take on the challenges.B. Don't let them get to you.C.

But then I immediatelyrealized that it was packaged in a plastic jar. ''I guess I live with this jar now and forever. '' I thought sadly as I stared down at my new child.The salad jar was only the latest in a long line of examples of how I am addicted to the responsibility of reusing everything, trying to never throw anything away. Water bottles have been given second lives, and berry containers are transformed into Tupperware. I recently even looked at a plastic straw in my fruit juice: Could I reuse it too…?Yet trying to squeeze my salad jar under my kitchen counter this weekend, I finally had to admit: Being an environmentalist has turned me into a hoarder(囤积者). While keeping a certain number of jars and vegetable bags will allow me not to buy new containers, at a certain point those 30 berry containers begin to get a bit unnecessary. Who am I kidding? Then one day I came across a blog post that asks accusingly. ''Are you turning your own home into a landfill(垃圾填埋场)? ''In my defense, there is absolutely no excuse not to be a conscious consumer. The solution is painfully obvious, but hard to admit: Delaying waste is not, in fact, rejecting waste. In an over-packaged, over-consuming culture, this can feel like a burden. While I refuse to throw away packaging, the fact remains: I already have it. The damage is done. I've been ignoring one of the most essential and difficult parts—reduce, reuse, recycle. Even if I go out of my way to reuse the waste I do have, I need to reduce what I am bringing home in the first place.While I might not be ready to go full zero-waste, it's a goal that is admirable to work toward. Until then, my salad jar child is going to make a great overnight oats jar.4. What does the author try to indicate by the last sentence in paragraph 2 ?A. How important reusing is.B. How she makes use of the plastic straw.C. How enthusiastic she is about reusing.D. Why she is responsible for reusing plastic straws.5. Why does the author say she has turned into a hoarder?A. She enjoys collecting a variety of small jars.B. She has saved far more containers than she needs.C. She likes the idea of saving fine packages in daily life.D. She stores more berry containers than other containers.6. What does the underlined word ''this'' in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Over-packaging.B. Delaying waste.C. Over-consuming.D. Rejecting waste.7. The author realizes at last that she should___________.A. buy fewer over-packaged goodsB. throw away unnecessary packagingC. reuse materials as much as possibleD. appreciate the value of recycling materialsCArtificial Intelligence (AI) advice is as influential as human’s, but positive crowd views still overpower.In a study, researchers found that machines that make recommendations—or AI experts—were as influential as human experts when the AI experts recommended which photo users should add to their online business profiles. However, both AI and human experts failed to budge them if their feedback was negative and went against popular views among other users, said S. Shyam Sundar, a professor of Media Effects.Because people are increasingly using social media to look for feedback, studies suggest that expert opinions and the bandwagon（从众效应）effect may be important factors in influencing decisions, according to Jinping Wang, a doctoral candidate in mass communication and first author of the study. “Nowadays, we often turn to online platforms for opinions from other people—like our peers and experts—before making a decision,” sai d Wang. AI experts are often less expensive than human experts and they can also work 24 hours a day, which, Wang suggests, might make them appealing to online business.The researchers also found that the AI’s group status—in this case, national origin was pointed out—did not seem to affect a person’s acceptance of its recommendation. Among human experts, however, an expert from a similar national origin who offered a negative opinion of a photograph tended to be more influential than a human expert from an unknown country who offered a similar negative rating of a photograph.While findings that suggest group status may not affect whether a person values the view of AI experts sound like good news, Sundar suggests that the same cultural prejudice might still be at work in AI experts for they could be hidden in the programming and training data.“It can be both good—and bad—because it all depends on what you feed the AI,” said Sundar. “While it is good to believe in AI’s ability to transcend（超越）cultural prejudice, we have to keep in mind that if you train the AI on pictures from one culture, they could give misleading recommendations on pictures meant for use in other cultural contexts.”8. What do the underlined words “budge them” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Cha nge users’ ideas.B. Satisfy users’ needs.C. Raise users’ spirits.D. Fire users’ imagination.9. Why do users often turn to AI experts?A. Because AI experts are more knowledgeable.B. Because AI experts are less influenced by feelings.C. Because AI experts are always available and cost less.D. Because AI experts are so new as to be more attractive.10. Which expert’s negative assessments is a person more likely to believe?A. An expert who has great achievements in arts.B. An expert from countries with similar cultures.C. An expert with better personality and attitude.D. A foreign expert who is very popular worldwide.11. What did Sundar mean by the last paragraph?A. People should have a mind of their own.B. People should be able to tell good from bad.C. People should know AI’s hidden cultural prejudice.D. People should be trained how to use AI properl y.DFor years, South Korea has struggled with a growing demographic（人口的）crisis. The country’s fertility rate has repeatedly hit record lows, and ranks near the bottom of the lowest fertility rates in the world. Meanwhile, South Korea’s population continues to age, sending the country into a demographic decline.There were only 275,815 births, a record low – compared to 307,764 deaths, a 3.1% increase in fatalities from the previous year. This is the first time South Korea has hit the “population death cross,”when the number of deaths surpasses births, the ministry said in a news release – and the first time the total population has shrunk.The population continues to age rapidly, the census showed: 32.7% of people are in their 40s and 50s, and nearly a quarter are over the age of 60.“The constant decline in birth rate shows that low birth rate remains as a big issue in Korea,” the release said. “There needs to be a fundamental change in the governmental policies such as welfare, education, and national defense, accordingly.”There is a major reason for population decline – one being a demanding work culture that makes it difficult to balance careers with family life.There is also a trend to delay or avoid marriage. Among those who were not dating, 51% of men and 64% of women said they chose not to date so they can enjoy their hobbies or focus on education. Many say they just don’t have the time, money, or emotional capacity to go on dates.More recently in December, the government released its 4th Basic Plan for Low Fertility and Aging Society, which lays out their plans for population policy over the next five years, including offering cash bonuses for childbirth, subsidies for childcare, and expanded benefits for multi-child families, except that the government lowered maximum working hours from 68 hours a week to 52 hours last year in 201812. What does the South Korea government deal with the growing demographic crisis?A. The South Korea government is taking no measures to solve the growing demographic crisisB. The South Korea government doesn’t recognize the seriousness of the growing demographic crisisC. The South Korea government has lowered maximum working hoursD. The South Korea government is attempting to take action to solve the growing demographic crisis13. What’s the biggest problem about the population decline of South Korea?A. young people’s avoiding marriageB. high death rateC. low birth rateD. hard working surroundings14. Which isn’t the South Korea government ready to do in the next five years?A. offering cash bonuses for childbirthB. subsidies for childcareC. expand benefits for multi-child families,D. lower maximum working hours from 68 hours a week to 52 hours15. This article/text/passage mainly tells that _____________A. The reasons for the population drop of South KoreaB. South Korea's population continues to ageC. South Korea's low births rateD. South Korea's demanding work culture第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5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。

2021成都市高考英语阅读类四月自练及答案6
阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
The question of what children learn, and how they should learn, is continually being debated and redebated. Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system, the learning of lessons parrot-fashion, the grammar-with-a-whip system, which was good enough for our grandparents. The theories of modem psychology have stepped in to argue that we must understand the need of children. Children are not just small adults; they are children who must be respected as much.Well, you may say, this is as it should be, a good idea. But think further. What happens? "Education" becomes the responsibility not of teachers, but of psychologists (心里学家). What happens then? Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications (示意) of their lessons, and forget about the subjects themselves. If a child dislikes a lesson, the teacher feels that it is his fault, not the child’s. So teachers worry whether history is "relevant" to modern young children. And do they dare to recount stories about violence? Or will this make the children themselves violent? Can they tell their classes about children of different races, or will this encourage racial hatred? Why teach childrento write grammatical sentences? Verbal expression is better. Sums? Arithmetic? No: Real-life mathematical situations are more understandable.You see, you can go too far. Influenced by educational theorists, who have nothing better to do than to write books about their ideas, teachers leave their teacher-training colleges filled with grand, psychological ideas about children and their needs. They make elaborate, sophisticated (精致的，简洁的) preparations and try out their "modem methods" on the long-suffering children. Since one "modem method" rapidly replaces another the poor kids will have had a good bellyful by the time they leave school. Frequently the modem methods are so sophisticated that they fail to be understood by the teachers, let alone the children; even more often, the relaxed discipline so essential for the " informal" feelings the class must have, prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything.1. People do not dare defend the old system mainly because under the old system________.A. too much grammar was taught to childrenB. children were spoiled (宠坏)C. children were treated as grown-upsD. children were made to learn passively(被动的)2. What view do the modem psychologists hold?A. Children must be understood and respected.B. Children are small adults and know what they need.C. Children are better off without learning lessons.D. Education of children is the responsibility of psychologists.3. What happens when teachers pay too much attention to the psychology of their lessons?A. They find that the children dislike the lessons.B. They tend to blame students for their failure.C. They do not pay enough attention to the actual lessons.D. They no longer want to teach children history.4. Grammatical sentences are regarded as unimportant because ________.A. it is better to use verbs onlyB. words are said out of natural feelings onlyC. talking freely and naturally without sentences is a better form of expressionD. it is felt that formal grammar rules might cause unnatural expressions5. According to the passage, the modern methods are understood by ________.A. neither teachers nor pupilsB. only a handful of teachers and pupilsC. the more sophisticated teachersD. everyone who enjoys the relaxed discipline of the informal classes。

“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
2.【2021·新高考I卷，B】
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
