2022届上海实验学校高三下学期模拟考试（3月） 英语 试题（含答案）.doc

1、上海实验高中2021-2022学年高三下英语三月考语法填空Recent literature has put the spotlight on how technology and social media are shaping the next generation, and the consensus(共识)seems to be that its a sharp double-edged sword. New research published in Computers in Human Behavior is no exception.The study,led by facult

2、y at Wellesley Centers for Women, found that _1_ (join)social media specifically, Snapchat and Instagram before age 11 was significantly linked to more “problematic digital behaviors” _2_ (compare) to those who joined the platforms when they were older.The team surveyed over 750 middle schoolers in

3、the Northeast United States, and found that those who joined these platforms at or below age 10 had more internet buddies that parents would disapprove of, and visited more social websites that _3_ (frown) upon.They also showed more “unsympathetic online behaviors” and were more likely to become vic

4、tims of online bullying or harassment. Altogether, it was a jumble of (一堆)problematic digital moods. Of course,that might not be news to social media giant Facebook. Some recent leaks in the Wall Street Journal revealed how the platform was aware for some time _4_ it was “toxic” for teen girls, and

5、also detailed its ambitions to lure teens and pre-teens with targeted kid-specific products. _5_ almost all social media, including Twitter and TikTok, Facebooks rules require users to be at least 13 years old to join. However, people _6_ sign up self-report their own dates of birth, so its hardly a

6、n effective firewall, and by commonsense, its nearly a given that packs of children are roaming(漫游)the social media universe. In fact, “one-third of our sample had already started using social media at age 11 or 12 and another one-third had begun at age 10 or younger,” study author Linda Charmaraman

7、 said in a statement. _7_ that doesnt mean its a lost cause. The studys findings also suggest parents can combat the harmful impacts by limiting how often their kids check social media, or restricting phone usage. Participants who reported such parental controls showed _8_ (lessen) negative effects.

8、And its not all bad: According to the research, those who joined social media before age 11also showed _9_ (great) civic engagement within the online community-such as posting supportive content or fostering events and activism for social issues. Also,regardless of when they joined social media, ear

9、ly adolescents displayed more positive digital behaviors overall than negative ones.As the first children raised in the social-media era grow into their 20s and 30s,the effects of the internet revolution will likely become more profound, and we can expect that the need _10_ (understand) how tech sha

12、xpenses for newspapers from Mumbai to Sydney. When times were good, before ads _11_ online, newspapers had a supportive partnership with paper mills. As ads departed and _12_ fell, they are now at the shouting stage.Paper mills had the worst of it for years as newspapers went _13_ digital or shut fo

13、r good. The papers were able to _14_ down the cost of newsprint from firms fighting for business as demand declined. Many hesitated to shut massive machines costing hundreds of millions of dollars.That hesitance has disappeared; mills are taking out newsprint capacity and _15_. Norske Skog, a Norweg

14、ian paper firm, said in June it would close its 66-year-old Tasman Mill in New Zealand, for example. Many mills are _16_ machines to make packaging for e-commerce.UPM, a Finnish firm, announced this year the sale of its Shotton newsprint mill in Wales to a Turkish maker of container board and packag

15、ing. For JCS Volga, a Russian mill, newsprint used to account for 70% of production; now half of what it makes is packaging. The pandemic, with people working from home, meant even fewer newspaper purchases, which _17_ demand for newsprint again and increased the pain for paper suppliers. In the pas

16、t 24 months European mills have responded by shutting almost a fifth of their newsprint capacity, says a buyer for a large British newspaper group.Then economies reopened. Newsprint demand shot up. That, combined with much reduced capacity and coupled with soaring energy prices, has resulted in a pr

17、ice shock. Particularly _18_ are energy surcharges that some paper suppliers are seeking to pass on.Newspaper firms reckon this amounts to _19_contracts. European newspapers will have to pay newsprint prices that are 50-70% higher in the first quarter of 2022 compared with the year before.Germanys p

18、rint and media industry association has warned that mills are going to force newspapers to _20_ paper editions, hurting each other in the process. “Its about the famous branch that both of them are sitting on,” it said recently. But mills can sell packaging instead. “Were not going to save the publi

20、lank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Picture yourself driving down a city street. Suddenly you see something in the middle of the road ahead. A torn paper bag, a lost shoe, or something else? Youll quickly determine the actions that best fit the _21_-what humans call having“common

21、 sense”.However, _22_ “obstacles” that no human would ever stop for, AI self-driving vehicles are likely to apply the brakes unexpectedly.The challenges for self-driving vehicles wont be solved by giving them more training data or rules for what to do in unusual situations. To be trustworthy, these

22、vehicles need common sense to solve the object-in-the-road problem: broad _23_ about the properties of objects and an ability to _24_ adapt that knowledge in new circumstances. You can predict, _25_, that while a pile of glass on the road wont flyaway as you approach, birds likely will. From this _2

23、6_ the term “common sense” seems to _27_ exactly what current AI systems cannot do.Their lack of a _28_ of commonsense makes them susceptible to unpredictable errors, which humans will never make.Todays AI systems use neural networks, algorithms(算法) trained to spot patterns, based on data gathered f

24、rom extensive collections of human-labeled examples.This _29_ is very different from how humans learn. We humans seem to come into the world with inborn knowledge of certain basic concepts-including the ideas of objects and events and the nature of space. We arent even _30_ that we have it, or that

25、it forms the basis for all future learning. A big lesson from decades of AI research is how hard it is to teach such _31_ to machines. The history of planting common sense in AI systems has largely focused on cataloging human knowledge: manually programming and _32_ stereotyped(模式化的)situations. But

26、all such attempts face a possibly fatal _33_. Much of our instinctive knowledge is unwritten,unspoken,and not even in our conscious awareness. A US AI research agency recently launched a programme. It challenges researchers to create an AI system that learns from “experience” in order to acquire the

27、 cognitive abilities of an 18-month-old baby. It might seem strange that _34_ a baby is considered a grand challenge for AI, but this reflects the gulf between AIs success in specific fields and more general intelligence. If we can figure out how to get our machines to learn like children, perhaps a

34、ascinates the rest of us. Were all drawn to things that wake us up, things that grab our attention through our hearing or our sight or our sense of touch. Were curious about the world as it is, and were curious about what could be. Imagination follows curiosity pretty naturally.It doesnt feel to me

35、like its been a long time that Ive been drawing and writing things. It doesnt feel like a short time, either. It just feels like what I do. I make things.

36、y suggestions for how to make children less afraid of things?Actually, I think kids kind of like being afraid of things, as long as someone calm is right there with reassurance. Hugging helps.What have you learned about childhood from writing kids books?Accessing childhood has actually never been th

37、at hard. Its adulthood thats still perplexing. I would guess that most childrens book writers are that way. Im really writing books and making music for my own child-self. But Im certainly delighted and grateful that my books work for people other than just me. It keeps me from having to find an act

38、ual job.A lot of authors are worried that children spend too much time on digital devices rather than with books, but you seem to have embraced it. Why?When the interactive book app universe was new, I was, as a creator of things, curious. My background is theater, and I thought it could be interest
