But instead of blaming students for their behavior, we should
9、 say to too much homework. This is important because by using mobile phone applications to do their homework, students dont add much to their knowledge, says an article in Guangzhou-based Yangcheng Evening News.Using mobile phone applications to do homework is no different from eopying from someone
10、elses work. This is the opinion of a vast majority of teachers. Students who seek cell phone apps help to do their homework will pay dearly during major exams when they cannot seek the help of such applications, the teachers say.The heavy load of homework Chinese students are burdened with, said to
11、be the heaviest in the world, has led to the popularity of these applications.Senior high school students in China rarely go to bed before 11 pm. A report in Shanghai published in 2013 showed that students in the city on average spend 28.2 hours in class every week, the 9th 共 8 页第 页3highest among 65
12、 countries and regions surveyed. Also, they spend an average of 13.8 hours a week doing homework, most in the world.There is no association between the amount of homework one does and the amount of knowledge one gathers. In fact, a research by Australian experts shows that the result is exactly the
13、opposite: the more hours students spend doing homework, the less offective they will be in gaining know ledge.The United States is one of the countries where students do little homework, but that has not damaged the countrys academic status in the world.So, its time Chinese schools understood this f

But technology doesnt stop there. In mi
17、d-August, reported the BBC, scientists from Cambridge University developed a robotic system that meant a robot could “build other robots, each one better than the previous(以前的) generation”.The BBC noted that “those concerned about machines taking over the world shouldnt worry”.However, over 1,000 sc
18、ientists and numerous artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) researchersincluding UK astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak of the US-brought the danger of fully autonomous weapons(自主武器), known as “killer robots”, to our attention earlier this summer.“If any major military(军事的)
19、 power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is inevitable(不可避免的),” warned an open letter released at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.共 8 页第 页4Unlike drones(无人机), which need a human hand, this kind of robot would hav
20、e some decision-making abilities and the ability to act by itself. While what the BBC called these “solders that never sleep” could help reduce battlefield deaths, they might also make countries more likely to go into battle, which would lead to more deaths overall, noted the scientists. The risks,
21、they said, could be far greater than those posed by nuclear weapons.Scientists called for a “ban on offensive(攻击性的) autonomous weapons beyond meaningful human control”, reported The Huffington Post.In fact, in an interview with the BBC in 2014, Hawking warned that the “development of full artificial
22、 intelligence could spell the end of the human race”.And according to the BBC, many leading thinkers have been thinking about the AI-powered killing machine of the not-too-distant future. “Killer robots could be here within years, not decades,” as Stuart Russell, professor of computer science at UC
23、Berkeley, US, put it.Authorities are gradually waking up to the risk of robot wars. Last May, for the first time, the United Nations brought governments together to begin talks on so-called killer robots in a hope of stopping such weapons while there is still time.Meanwhile, there are scientists who
24、 are less worried. They believe all technologies have potential(潜力) for being used for good and evil ends, and argue that the ban called for by the open letter could close the door to developing AI technology that could save lives. “Technology can clearly do better than human beings in many cases,”
25、Ronald Arkin, dean at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, US, told The Christian Science Monitor. “If we are willing to turn over some of our decision making to these machines, we may actually get better outcomes.”28. What does Steve Wozniak think the future robot technology might produc

29、vil ends.4、We chat with our colleagues all the time: when we have lunch, gossip in the tearoom, or leave work together. Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your co-workers and builds trust within your team. But revealing too much about yourself to colleagues or managers can cause difficu
30、lties and even endanger your work. Its vital to strike the right balance between getting along with colleagues and keeping your privacy safe. “As a matter of fact, it takes skills to communicate in the office. You can neither chat too much, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others,” said
31、Yang Yudan, vice HR director (人事经理) at P&G. According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as weather or movies. Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games. But discussing your private life, such a
32、s relationship, habits or health conditions, is potentially risky. Cui Xia, 21, who has been working for an IT company for only 2 months, learned this hard way when she found out that everyone knew she had broken up with her boyfriend. “I spoke about it with two colleagues in the tearoom and told my
33、 friend via phone, and then the news spread.” And her boss finally heard about it and asked her not to let it affect her work performance. Sometimes revealing private matters in a thoughtless manner can result in disastrous consequences. Liang Kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company
34、 last week after discussing his income with colleagues during a lunch break. “I didnt realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her,” said Liang. “Then our HR told me its forbidden to talk about payments in the off
35、ice.” HR expert Yang Yudan also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. Its unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are. To sum up, Yang Yudan advises office workers to be more aware of their images when talking to colleagues. “When you share your personal life
36、, it will be recorded on your invisible resume (无形的简历) and may slow down your career progression.” 32. Which of the following topics is NOT suitable when chatting in the office?A. Makeup B. Football matches C. Annual earnings D. TV shows such as Running Man 33. We may know from the passage that _.A.
37、 women often talk more about their personal affairs than men. B. to avoid getting into trouble, youd better keep silent at work. C. its wise to talk about how much you earn each month with your colleagues. 共 8 页第 页6D. revealing too much about your privacy may have a negative effect on your career. 3
38、4. Whats the purpose of the passage?A. To mention a phenomenon. B. To provide some suggestions.C. To give professional guides. D. To offer necessary warnings.35. The best title for this passage is _. A. At work, No chatting! B. Desire for privacy.C. At work, Keep it to yourself! D. Learn to respect
39、others privacy.二、完型填空5、 It was a special morning and the children, mainly boys with various learning difficulties, refused to settle for the start of the lesson. 41 an inexperienced teacher, I tried every possible means to get them to be 42 , but in vain. My 43 was rising and I could feel my heart 4
40、4 wildly. I began to wonder whether this was the 45 of my job as a music teacher. I thought -teaching was not for me. Then an idea occurred to me. Hoping that no one would notice that I was 46 at that time, I threw my voice as 47 as it would reach: “Put your heads on the desks and close your 48 ! We
41、 are going on a journey.“49 , the children fell silent. “Now what should I do?“ I thought to myself. Reaching over to my collection of CDs, I blindly 50 , put it in the 51 and played it.Obediently (顺从地), my class lay their heads on their desk, closed their eyes and 52 . When the music started, the r
42、oom was 53 with the most beautiful tones and musical colors I could have ever imagined. All the children were 54 . When the music finished, I asked them all to raise their 55 slowly so that we could 56 our musical journey.At this point, 57 all the children were willing to share their experiences, I
43、began to learn how to 58 . The music allowed me to learn that teaching is about sharing and respect, tears and smiles, the knowing and the _ 59 and most of all, an understanding of each other.
