8、iated with advanced tools and systems. It also shapes the way people behave, grow and develop, both within their own lives and in their relationships with others. While technology has developed over thousands of years, the last century has seen an explosion in technology that has influenced fundamen

9、tal changes in how humans see the world and interact with others. Specifically, the Internet and mobile devices have completely changed the way people interact with each other. There has been a debate going on whether technology is benefiting human communication or ruining it. Undoubtedly, technolog

10、y is helping people build newer and necessary communication skills. In business, office employees and managers use technology to send emails to one another, which is considered a communication skill. On social media, just share a few of your images and people start communicating on and about your im

11、ages according to their viewpoint. With the outbreak of COVID-19, in order to work on the projects, the students use their phones to reach their teachers and classmates. However, technology is sometimes considered to disconnect people from others around them. With cell phones, most people think that

12、 its easier and more convenient to text instead of meeting in person.

15、 the authors attitude to technology?APositive.BSkeptical.CObjective.DIndifferent.Young kids brains are very sensitive (敏感的) to their moms voices, science has shown. But as kids grow into teens, everything changes. Teenagers brains are now more sensitive to strangers voices than those of their own mo

16、ms, new research shows.The researchers studied the brains of 7- to 16-year-olds as they listened to things said by their moms or by unfamiliar women. The words were gibberish: teebudieshawlt, keebudieshawlt and peebudieshawlt. Using such meaningless words allowed the scientists to study the voices,

17、not what they were saying. As the kids listened, certain parts of their brains became active. This was especially true in brain areas that help us to find rewards and pay attention.Daniel Abrams, a researcher at Stanford University, says that younger kids brains respond more strongly to their moms v

18、oices than to strangers. However, in adolescence (青春期), we show the exact opposite.“These areas in the adolescent brains dont stop responding to moms voices,” Abrams explains. “Its just that unfamiliar voices become more worthy of attention. Heres why: As kids grow up, they widen their social connec

19、tions beyond their family. So their brains need to begin paying more attention to that wider world.”But moms voices still have special power, especially in times of stress, a 2011 study with girls showed. Levels of stress dropped when these girls heard their moms voices on the phone.The brain seems

20、to adapt to new needs that come with adolescence. “As we grow up, our survival depends less and less on our moms support.” says Leslie Seltzer, a biological anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Instead we rely more and more on our friends and others doser to our own age.”“So while

21、 both teens and their parents may sometimes feel annoyed, thats OK,” Abrams says. “This is the way the brain is wired, and theres a good reason for it.”8What does the underlined word “gibberish” in paragraph 2 refer to?AQuestion.BStory.CSaying.DNonsense.9Why do teens become more sensitive to unfamil

Its also the driest. With annual rainfall close to zero, Antaretica is technically a desert. Cove

24、ring about 14 million square kilometers around the South Pole, it is the fifth largest continent in the world. A high mountain range, the Trans- Antarctic range, runs from east to west, cutting the continent in two. There are volcanoes too, but they are not very active. Antarctica holds 90% of the w

25、orlds ice, and most of its fresh water (70%) is in a frozen state, of course.98% of the surface is covered permanently in the ice cap. On average it is two kilometers thick, but in some places it reaches a depth of five kilometers. Strong winds driven by gravity blow from the pole to the coastline,

26、while other winds blow round the coast. It is difficult to imagine a more inhospitable (不宜居的) place.Yet Antarctica is full of wildlife, which has adapted to its extreme conditions. There are different types of penguins, flying birds, seals, and whales. But the long Antarctic winter night, which last

27、s for 182 days( the longest period of continuous darkness on earth), as well as the extreme cold and lack of rainfall, means that few types of plants can survive there. Only two types of flowering plants are found, while there are no trees on the large continent. The rest of the plants are made up o

28、f mosses, algae and lichen. Some forms of algae have adapted to grow on ice.Most of the ice has been there for thousands of years. As a result, it has become a window on the past, and can give researchers lots of useful information. Gases and minerals, in the form of volcanic dust trapped in the ice

29、, can tell us a lot about what the worlds climate was like in past ages. Antarctic rocks are also very important for research. Most of them are meteorites (陨石) from outer space. One rock, known as the “Alien” rock, may contain evidence of extra- terrestrial (外星人) life.Antarctica was the last contine

30、nt to be discovered. But more than two thousand years ago Greek geographers believed that there was a large land mass in the south which balanced the land in the north. They called it Anti- Arktikos, or Antarctica: the opposite of Aretic (北极). When Europeans discovered the continent of America in 15

31、 century, the great age of exploration began. However, progress to the South Pole was slow. Not until the late 18h century did the British explorer James Cook cross the Antarctic Circle, but he never saw land. Then in1895, a Norwegian called Carstens Borchgrevink became the first man to set foot on

32、the Antarctic mainland. The race to the pole had begun. It was finally reached on 11- December,1911 by the Norwegian Roald Amundsen.12What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 2?AAll Antarctic plants grow on ice.BAnimals cant survive the Antarctic polar night.CAntarctica has a great v

33、ariety of plants.DDespite the extreme conditions in Antarctica, many plants and animals live there.13What does the author intend to show with the example of the“ Alien(外星人)” rock?AThere are aliens in Antarctica.BMeteorites all contain evidence of alien existence.CTheres a lot to study in Antarctica.
