The Internet plays a big part in human life. People benefit a lot from it.We use it for work and pleasure. We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about. The list goes on and on.
As far as the Internet being a part of our lives—well,that train has left the station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected with high blood pressure (血压) in a young group: teenagers.
The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online may have high blood pressure, which makes your heart and blood vessels (血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases your risk of a heart attack. High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.
The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy Web use with high blood pressure.
The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy Bushrow. She says, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but it shouldn’t ruin us.” She adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regularly from their computers or smart phones and do some kinds of physical activities. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.
1.What does the underlined part “that train has left the station” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.
B.The train has stopped at the wrong station.
C.There is something wrong with the station.
D.The train has changed its course.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4?
A.There is no relation between high blood pressure and Internet use.
B.There are more advantages than disadvantages of Internet use.
C.Heavy Internet users will probably have high blood pressure.
D.There is no harm of high blood pressure.
3.What can be used as the best title of the passage?
A.Most teenagers have high blood pressure
B.How to prevent teenagers from the Internet
C.Every coin has two sides—so does the Internet
D.Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers

On Tuesday, Google announced a new feature of the Google Assistant. People can send reminders to friends and family on their phone or their Google Home equipment.
Google has named the new feature Assignable Reminders. Here’s how the new Assignable Reminders feature works with Google Assistant.
You start off by simply starting the Google Assistant by saying “Hey Google” or by whatever shortcut (快捷键) you have set on your phone. After this, you can tell Google Assistant to remind someone of something at a certain time.
This feature will also be feasible on the Google Home smart speaker, or a smart display which works with Google Assistant. The person receiving the reminder can also replay the reminder by asking Google Assistant to show him a list of all his reminders.
These reminders can only be sent to people who are already listed as family in your Google account or people who are linked and voice-matched to the same Google Home equipment.
Another feature built within Assignable Reminders is the ability to set reminders based on someone’s place. For example, you can set a reminder for friends to buy you something from a store as soon as they reach there.
4.What’s the new feature of the Google Assistant?
A.Linking to more people.
B.Sending pictures to the family.
C.Reminding someone of something on the phone.
D.Answering a phone call for people.
5.Which can replace the underlined word “feasible”in Paragraph 4?
A.Free. B.Lost. C.Made. D.Used.
6.Who can receive your reminders besides those listed in your Google account?
A.Those who have ever sent reminders.
B.Those who know the Google Assistant.
C.Those who are using Google Home equipment.
D.Those who are linked to the same Google Home equipment.
Ⅱ.七选五
(2020河北衡水中学调研)
Earlier this year I removed all Internet services from my home, which was very upsetting at first, but I have lived that way. 1
I was not content with the time I was wasting. I felt I could do more purposeful things rather than spend it on the Internet. If there is something I want to research on the Internet, I write it down and use that list when I have access to the Internet. 2 I’ll go to the office, the library, the coffee shop, or some other places with free public Wi-Fi, and work on what I need to do online.
3 I log on (登录) to stream some YouTube videos or laugh at funny pictures, but I go on the Internet with the intention of doing these things. Whenever I’m on the Internet now, I use it in a deliberate way, a way that benefits me and my life, and a way that adds value.
4 I could focus on writing without being disturbed. I have more time to read, write, think, exercise and walk. Because I’m out of the house and there are people around, I meet new people. Additionally, I have more time for friends and I feel less stressed and my thoughts are clearer. My mind is more focused on important things. 5 Plus, I no longer long for the Internet like I once did.
It will be upsetting at first, but you will live, and your life will be better without it.
A.I don’t have a monthly Internet bill.
B.Now the Internet is a tool I use to improve my life.
C.Now I’m forced to leave the house to get the Internet.
D.This doesn’t mean I think the Internet is bad or wrong.
E.Since I got rid of the Internet at home, I’ve found so many benefits.
F.Here are some of my tips for using the Internet in a more productive way.
G.It ended up being the most productive and wisest decision I’ve ever made.

Ⅰ. A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,青少年过度使用互联网可能会得高血压。
1.A 词义猜测题。根据画线部分的前面“As far as the Internet being a part of our lives”可知互联网已成为我们生活中的一部分,再根据后句“There is no going back to an Internet-free life.”我们不能返回到没有互联网的生活了。可知画线部分在此处所要表达的意思是:没有互联网的生活是无处可寻的。故选A。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online may have high blood pressure”以及第四段中的“And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy Web use with high blood pressure.”可知,过度使用互联网的人可能会患有高血压。故选C。
3.D 主旨大意题。文章主要讲的是研究发现青少年过度使用互联网可能会得高血压。D项Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers(过多使用互联网可能对青少年有害)适合作本文标题。故选D。
【高频词汇】
1.pleasure n.玩乐 2.stay in touch with了解……;和……保持联系 3.take part in参加 4.be described as...被描述为……
原句 The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online may have high blood pressure, which makes your heart and blood vessels (血管) work too hard.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。主句的主语是The study results,that引导宾语从句,在宾语从句中,who...online是who引导的定语从句。which引导的是非限制性定语从句。
句意 研究结果表明,每周上网至少14个小时的青少年可能会得高血压,这让你的心脏和血管工作得太辛苦。

5.D 词义猜测题。前文讲可分配提醒可以在手机上使用,后文讲在家庭设备上使用,结合画线词前面的also猜测“feasible” 与“used”具有相同含义,意为“使用”。故选D项。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第五段“These reminders can only be sent to people who are already listed as family in your Google account or people who are linked and voice-matched to the same Google Home equipment.”可知只有在你的谷歌账户中被列为家人的人或者连接上且声音匹配上同一个谷歌家用设备的人才能收到提醒,故选D项。

句意 这些提醒只能发送给在你的谷歌账户中已经被列为家人的人或者连接上且声音匹配上同一个谷歌家用设备的人。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己移除家庭网络服务后的好处。
1.G 结合空前一句可知,作者将自己家的网络服务移除了,他起初感到很忧虑。根据后文可知作者能享受充实的生活。所以G项“结果这是我做过的最有成效且最明智的决定。”承上启下,故选G项。
2.C 根据后句可知作者去办公室、图书馆、咖啡店或其他有免费公共Wi-Fi的地方上网。C项“现在,我不得不离开家去上网。”,衔接下文内容。故选C项。
3.B 根据下文可知,作者带着对自己有利的目的上网,网络成为作者改善自己生活的工具,故选B项。
4.E 本段主要讲作者移除家庭网络后的好处:可以集中精力写作,有更多时间看书,可以认识很多新朋友等。 故选E项。
5.A 本段在谈移除家庭网络后的好处,A项“我没有每月的网络账单。”,这也是好处之一,故选A项。

原句 If there is something I want to research on the Internet, I write it down and use that list when I have access to the Internet.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。If引导条件状语从句,其中something后是省略了关系代词that的定语从句。when引导时间状语从句。
句意 如果有我想在网上调查的事情,我就把它写下来,当我可以上网的时候,我就用那个列表。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。介绍了人们对互联网的不同看法。

3.which 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:一些悲观的专家有很多担忧,其中之一就是网络空间的犯罪。设空处所在句前面无连词,故这里是非限制性定语从句,先行词是worries,指物,故填which。
4.causing 考查现在分词。句意:在未来,恐怖分子可能会攻击世界的电脑,因此给我们人类造成混乱。分析句子结构可知,thus后是非谓语动词作状语,前面导致了后面的结果,故用现在分词形式表示直接造成的结果,故填causing。

原句 Some experts say virtual reality, the use of computers with sounds and pictures that/which make us feel as if we are in a real situation, will become a part of future life.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。主句主语是Some experts,say后是省略了that的宾语从句,从句中,that/which引导的是定语从句,修饰sounds and pictures。
句意 一些专家说虚拟现实将成为未来生活的一部分,它是利用电脑中的声音和图片让我们感觉似乎身处真实的情境中。
