    A new study shows students who write notes by hand during classes perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本).

    Students are increasingly using laptops for note­taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and use the concepts(概念) they have been taught.

    Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop is more likely to make notes "mindlessly" by taking down word for word what the teachers said.

    In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same classes and were told to use their usual note­taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the laptop users performed worse at remembering and using the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.

    In another experiment aimed at testing long­term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the class. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed much better on the exam.

    These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to a better performance in the future.

(1)、The students who prefer laptops for note­taking want to ________.
A、memorize more concepts B、understand concepts better C、get higher scores D、take notes quickly and clearly
(2)、While taking notes, hand-writers are more________ than laptop users.
A、skillful B、tireless C、thoughtful D、mindless
(3)、The purpose of this passage is to ________.
A、find the differences between the laptop users and hand-writers B、suggest taking notes by hand C、explain why students perform better on exams by taking notes by hand than by laptop D、suggest the use of laptops
(4)、The structure of the passage is ________.
A、 B、 C、 D、

Are you looking forward to having those changes in the year 2070?What other changes do you think about during the flight?

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

A marathon is a long running race of 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometres). The first Olympic Marathon was held in Athens. Now, many cities host their own marathons every year. Some of the best- known marathons around the world are the New York City Marathon, the Boston Marathon and the Tokyo Marathon. Among them, the Boston Marathon which started in 1897, is the oldest yearly marathon in the world. As time goes by, the sport has become more than just a race.

Themes of marathons add fun and meaning to the hard miles. Runners run for helping sick kids, celebrating important events, or just enjoying nature. There is a famous marathon in Gisborne, New Zealand, which is known for being the first city in the world to welcome the sunlight every day. Runners can greet the sunrise as they race along the golden sandy beaches.

Marathon routes bring people more understanding of the old sport. Some routes provide great sporting challenges for runners. The routes offer various surfaces, from bridges to sand to hills. Runners of all skill levels can sweat freely and push their limits in the race. Some routes are well planned for runners to explore the many sides of a city. For example, the route of the Great Wall Marathon takes the runners along the great wonder of the world. The race can be an amazing chance to get to know Beijing, its people and local food.

A marathon is quite a journey for runners to enjoy the run, challenge themselves and experience the culture. There is so much more behind the race for us to explore.

 阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①Students at a primary school in California, with the help of their art teacher Jessica Martin created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.

②Most people agree that the last couple of years have been stressful. Ms. Martin thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calm to people. Along with artist Asherah Weiss and students from kindergarten(幼儿园) to sixth grade, she worked on a project they called"PepToc". The project had two parts— one was the hotline and the other was creating encouraging posters. They had the same basic question for all the students:" What could you say to help or encourage someone else?"

③Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she put them into different parts of the telephone hotline. It is available in English and Spanish. For example, pressing I brings up ideas for people who are" feeling mad or nervous." Helpful suggestions include" hit your pillow(枕头)," or"     ▲     ". Pressing 2 results in" words of encouragement." This includes messages like" The world is a better place with you in it." Besides, it offers the happy voices of kids sharing positive(积极的) messages and the sounds of children laughing—a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone's face.

④Other students took part in making encouraging posters, which were put up around the town. Many posters had pieces of paper that people passing by could tear off(撕掉) and take with them. For example, one poster said" If you are mad, think of positive thoughts," and had tear- off paper reminding people to" Be happy."

⑤Ms. Martin thought the project would only draw interest from people near the school. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day and then, thousands of calls an hour. Word of the hotline spread quickly on Internet. The hotline has become popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.

Developed by US company OpenAI,ChatGPT has taken the internet by.storm. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails,translate languages,and answer all kinds of questions.It does this by drawing on information collected from a large amount of internet text.One breakthrough behind today's model is a network called Transformer.The GPT models built by Open AI combined Transformer with unsupervised(无人指导的)learning,which means that the models can learn by themselves without being told what to look at.

"One of the biggest problems with ChatGPT is that it comes back,very  confidently,with false information,"Michael Wooldridge told The Guardian.This means that ChatGPT learns information from various resources but it cannot decide what is true or false.Some argue that ChatGPT will be used to make fake news, spread falsities,or be used for ill purposes.

Andreas Schleicher thinks the chatbot will become a very powerful tool in the development of education.But he also mentioned,"There's a great risk that we'll just blindly follow the answers that we get from ChatGPT rather than question it and create new knowledge.If students are only as smart as a smartphone,it means educators are not doing enough.People should focus on developing human skills that actually are important,such as imagination and creativity."

Schleicher added that as a tool,ChatGPT is going to make learning much more interesting and powerful,but as a purpose and goal,humans need to work very hard to win that race with technology.
