(2020·北京市朝阳区高三二模)If there’s one cliche(陈词滥调)that really annoys Danah Boyd,a specialist researcher who has made a career from studying the way teenagers use the web,it’s that of the digital native.“Today the world has putermediated munications.Thus,in order to learn about their social world around them,teenagers are learning about those things too.And they’re using that to work out the stuff that kids have always worked out: peer(同龄人)sociality,status,etc.” she says.It’s no surprise Boyd takes exception,really.As one of the first digital anthropologists to dig into the way teenagers use social networking sites,she gained insights into the social web by taking a closer look at what was going on.Lately,her work has been about explaining new ways of interpreting the behavior we see online.She outlined some examples at a recent conference in San Francisco,including the case of a young man from one of the poorest districts of Los Angeles who was applying for a top American college.The applicant said he wanted to escape the influence of violence,but the admissions officer was shocked when he discovered that the boy’s MySpace page was covered with precisely the violent language he claimed to hate.“Why was he lying about his motivations?”asked the university.“He wasn’t,” said Boyd.“In his world,showing the right images online was a key part of surviving daily life.”Understanding what’s happening online is especially important,for today’s teenagers have a vastly different approach to privacy from their parents.She says,“Adults think of the home as a very private space.That’s often not the case for teenagers because they have little or no control over who has access to it,or under what conditions.As a result,the online world can feel more private because it feels like there’s more control.”The concept of control is central to Boyd’s work,and it applies to pointing out the true facts about teenage behavior.Boyd suggests control remains in the same places as it always did.“Technologists all go for the idea of techno utopia(乌托邦),the web as great democratizer(民主化)”,she says.“But we’re not actually democratizing the whole system; we’re just shifting the way in which we discriminate.”It’s a call to arms that most academic researchers would tend to sidestep,but then Boyd admits to treading a fine line between academics and activists.“The questions I continue to want to ask are the things that are challenging to me;having to sit down and be forced to think about unfortable social stuff,and it’s really hard to get my head around it,which means it’s exactly what I should divein and deal with,” she says.1.What does Danah Boyd think of “putermediated munications”?A.They teach teenagers about social interaction.B.They replace other sorts of social interaction for teenagers.C.They are necessary for teenagers to have social interaction.D.They are barriers to wider social interaction among teenagers.2.Why does Danah Boyd cite the example of the Los Angeles college applicant?A.To show how easy it is to investigate somebody’s online activity.B.To illustrate how easy it is to misinterpret an individual online activity.C.To prove how important it is to check the content of someone’s online activity.D.To express how necessary it is to judge someone’s sincerity from his online activity.3.Danah Boyd argues in Paragraph 4 that .A.teenagers feel more private in the online world than in the homeB.teenagers are less concerned about privacy than their parentsC.parents tend not to respect teenagers’ need for online privacyD.parents value the idea of privacy less in a domestic environment4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Danah Boyd .A.is willing to take on research challenges others would avoidB.regards herself as being more of an activist than a researcherC.is aware that she is lacking in ability to deal with the challengesD.feels like abandoning the research into unfortable social stuff【答案】 1.C 2.B 3.A 4.A【解析】本文是议论文。

A(2022·辽宁省协作体高三第一次模拟考试)Though there are filters which can change digital photographs to make them similar to a painting, obvious differences still exist.A brandnew painting AI has been made public recently.Much like the pupils of the old masters, the new AI studies the works of great painters like Vermeer and Van Gogh and learns to reproduce their works.The AI, named “PaintBot”, is the creation of a team of researchers from the University of Maryland, the Bytedance AI Lab and Adobe Research.PaintBot can not only reproduce the works of different artists but create new works based on photographs in the chosen painterʼs characteristic style.To train the AI to imitate a given artistʼs technique, the researchers would present it with between 3 and 10 reference paintings.With each reference painting it studies, the AI gradually learns to recognize the various characteristics of the given artistʼs technique, including the stroke colour, position and size—along with the order in which each brushstroke should be made.PaintBot uses a technique known as reinforcement learning.During the learning process, the AI would practice reproducing reference paintings, which it would then pare with the original work to see how similar the two were and if it was improving its imitation of the artistʼs style.It takes around six hours for the AI to learn to imitate a given painter.Once the AI has mastered a particular artistʼs technique, the researchers could present it with a new image to reproduce in the same style.The AI then uses what it has learnt to produce a new painting, putting down each brushstroke one at a time.After being trained in a given style, PaintBot takes only around five minutes to produce each of its digital masterpieces.The way that PaintBotʼs positions are built up from thousands of individual brushstrokes makes the AIʼs works more realistic than those online filters.1.What do we know about filters used to change digital photos?________ A.They are well received.B.They are not good enough.C.They are really fantastic.D.They are disliked by people.2.How does PaintBot create works?________A.It mixes techniques of different artists.B.It learns from the artist on the spot.C.It just imitates the color of the given paintings.D.It follows the given style of the paintings.3.Which of the following words can the author use to describes PaintBotʼs paintings?________A.Lifelike. B.Valuable.C.Advanced. D.Original.4.What is a suitable title for the passage?________A.The Most Intelligent AI Painter PaintBotB.A Brandnew Painting Reproduced By AIC.PaintBot Creates More Realistic PaintingsD.How PaintBot Imitates Artistsʼ techniques【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

A(2020·河北省衡水中学高三下学期第一次模拟考试)Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage(绷带) that can signal the type of bacterial(细菌的) infection it’s protecting,just like a traffic light,as well as release the right type of drugs on demand.The traffic light system works just like this:Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria,yellow means drugsensitive(DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics(抗生素) and causes antibiotic release,and red means drugresistant(DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out.In testing the bandage on mice,the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method.However,the mon methods of sensing resistance are limited by time,the requirement for professional personnel,and expensive instruments.Moreover,the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.It’s easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overe some of these limitations.Treatment doesn’t have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis,and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity.What’s more,the person wearing the bandage gets realtime feedback on what’s happening with the infection,if there’s an infection at all.The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light,including photodynamic therapy or PDT.We’ve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years,thanks to advances in science —like the nanofiber mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out,speeding up the healing process.Then there’s the novel bandage for treating burns,which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection.The more work that a bandage can do while it’s protecting a wound,the better.Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we’ve got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics,but also tells the patient exactly what’s going on too.1.What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do?A.Avoid the use of antibiotics.B.Clear out harmful bacteria.C.Detect bacterial infections.D.Increase treatment options.2.What is the advantage of the smart bandage?A.It saves much time and cost.B.It removes the risk of infection.C.It prevents the bacterial resistance.D.It improves doctorpatient relationship.3.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A.Traditional bandages are out of use now.B.More smart bandages will be developed.C.Progress in science calls for more research.D.People are urged to study medical science.4.What does the text focus on?A.A successful test on mice.B.A colourchanging bandage.C.Sensing drugresistant bacteria.D.Preventing abuse of antibiotics.【答案】 1.C 2.A 3.B 4.B【解析】这是一篇说明文。

“New and improved.” These words are put in so many marketing campaigns that we tend to accept them as linked.But many new drugs aren’t an improvement over the best existing drug for a given condition,and the fast drugapproval processes in recent years have added to the uncertainty about their advantages.A recent report in the British Medical Journal,“New Drugs:Where Did We Go Wrong and What Can We Do Better?” analysed the issue.The authors looked at 216 drugs approved between 2011 and 2017; 152 were newly developed,and 64 were existing medicine approved for new uses.Only 25%offered a major advantage over the established treatment,and fully 58%had no confirmed added benefit to reduce symptoms or improve healthrelated quality of life.“This doesn’t mean there’s no added benefit,” lead author Wieseler said.“It just means we have no positive proof.Either we have no studies or have studies not good enough.” Wieseler and her coauthors work for a German institute whic h evaluates new treatments and advises on whether the country’s health care system should pay a premium(占) for them.Such organizations,known as health technology assessment (HTA) agencies,work a little differently in the US,says Sean Tunis,a researcher in Baltimore:“If payers think a new drug isn’t better than an existing drug,these agencies will require that hospitals try the cheaper drug first.”Germany’s HTA demands trials to prove that a new treatment beats the existing standard.This isn’t always practi cal.For one thing,such studies can be expensive and timeconsuming,with no guarantee of success.Secondly,it can discourage panies from attempting to develop new alternatives.This is already happening.Drug developers are increasingly focused on areas where there are no good treatments to pete with,such as rare diseases.This lack of meaningful data to guide patients is a major point of Wieseler’s paper—With accelerated approval,there are more products approved,with a greater amount of uncertainty about risks and benefits.But there are other solutions besides drug trials.One idea is to require postmarket studies to track the effectiveness of newly approved drugs—a step too often neglected.1.What message does the recent report convey?A.Many new drugs have no improved advantages.B.The approval processes for new drugs are too fast.C.Improved drugs have advantages over old ones.D.Before 2017 no improvement was made to drugs.2.What will US HTA agencies do when no advantage is found in new drugs?A.Remove government premium on them.B.Get hospitals to use the cheaper drugs.C.Arrange financial support for the patients.D.Put new drugs on further trials and studies.3.What’s the disadvantage of Germany’s HTA trial demands?A.Making drug panies think of illegal ways to cut cost.B.Pushing panies to try alternatives for existing drugs.C.Getting patients to depend on the government for support.D.Holding panies back from improving existing drugs.4.What is the best title for the text?A.The Advantage of Existing DrugsB.Misunderstanding of New and Old DrugsC.A Dilemma with New Drug AlternativesD.People’s Preference for New or Old Drugs【答案】【解析】这是一篇说明文。
