As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory—your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know whether the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.

In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive (交互) memory".

According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memory as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memory; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

1. （1） The passage begins with two questions to ________.

   A . introduce the main topic B . show the author's attitude C . describe how to use the Internet D . explain how to store information
3. （2） What can we learn about the first experiment?

   A . Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. B . The two groups remembered the information equally well. C . The first group did not try to remember the information. D . The second group did not understand the information.
5. （3） In transactive memory, people _______.

   A . keep the information in mind B . change the quantity of information C . organize information like a computer D . remember how to find the information
7. （4） What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?

   A . We are using memory differently. B . We are becoming more intelligent. C . We have poorer memory than before. D . We need a better way to access information.

Chinese researchers have developed a robot designed to help doctors treat the new coronavirus (新冠病毒) and other highly contagious diseases.

The robot can perform some of the same medical examination tasks as doctors. For example, the device can perform ultrasounds, collect fluid samples from a person's mouth and listen to sounds made by a patient's organs. Cameras record the robot's activities, which are controlled remotely so doctors can avoid coming in close contact with infected patients. Doctors and other medical workers can operate the machine from a nearby room, or from much farther away.

The robot's main designer is Zheng Gangtie, an engineer and professor at China's Tsinghua University in Beijing. "Doctors are all very brave," Zheng said. "But this virus is just too contagious. . . We can use robots to perform the most dangerous? tasks." Zheng said a friend of his, the head of Beijing s Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, told him that one of the biggest problems in dealing with COVID-19 was that health care workers treating patients were getting infected themselves. Zheng said he wanted to do something to help this situation. So the engineer gathered a team and went to work on the robotic device. Zheng said the team was able to convert two robotic arms. The devices use the same technology! that is used for space equipment, including moon explorers. The new robit is almost completely automated. Zheng said. It can even disinfect itself after performing actions involving patient contact. However. Zheng said he had heard from some doctors that ii would be better not to build such robots to be fully automatic. This is because many patients still desire a personal presence to help calm them during treatment.

    The team currently has two robots and both have been tested by doctors at hospitals in Beijing. One machine was taken to Wuhan's Union Hospital where doctors were being trained to use it. The plan is to use the robot to help treat coronavirus patients, along with assistance from nurses and other hospital workers.

Zheng would like to build more of the robots, but said money from the university has run out. About S 72,000 has been spent on each robot. He said he does not plan to commercialize the design, but hopes that a company can begin that process.

1. （1） What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

   A . The robot can record doctors' activities. B . The robot can carry out actions automatically. C . The robot can assist doctors to examine patients. D . The robot can collect samples of patients' organs.
3. （2） The underlined word "disinfect" in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to "_____".

   A . affect B . clean C . update D . fix
5. （3） What can we infer about the robot according to Zheng Gangtie?

   A . It is very costly to make. B . It is highly recognized by doctors. C . It can be purchased in the market soon. D . It can also be used in moon exploration.
7. （4） What is the main purpose of the text?

   A . To introduce a new type of medical robot. B . To provide guidance on treating COYID-19. C . To describe the current condition of COVID-19. D . To promote the commercialization of a new robot.

Full of old-style houses, Wuzhen in Zhejiang province has long been a tourist attraction. But a few days ago, this ancient town was unusually full of people. It hosted the third annual World Internet Conference, held between Nov 16 and 18.

Tech firm bosses, academics and government officials went there to share their understanding of the event's theme—"Innovation-driven (创新驱动的) Internet Development for the Benefit of All – Building a Community of Common Future in Cyberspace (网络空间)".

When it comes to innovation, many tech firms in China are looking at artificial intelligence.

Baidu's latest development is based on AI technology. It's called Baidu Brain, an artificial intelligence project that aims to greatly improve computing by copying the way the human brain operates. It can be used to tell which diseases patients have. According to a test at Peking University International Hospital, 80 percent of its technology's diagnosis (诊断) results agree with the opinions of doctors.

Another tech giant, Alibaba, is also trying to make use of AI.

During the conference, Alibaba's Ant Financial company showed off its "Smile to Pay" technology. Registered (注册的) users can complete transactions (交易) by simply having their face scanned by a computer screen at the cashier's (收银员的) desk, without having to put in a PIN number or open an app, according to China Radio International.

The Chinese market for AI technology is huge. But Zhang Yaqin, president of Baidu, told Xinhua, "AI cannot do everything, but it will certainly free people from repetitive jobs. Our ultimate (最终的) goal is to let people do more creative and interesting things. "

There have been a lot of comments recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology. ? How might it change our lives?

5G stands for "the fifth generation", meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. Earlier "G" systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity(容量). . It is expected to permit more users to do more things at a faster rate.

    However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different from the earlier systems. . It will affect many more devices and industries than other "G" versions.

5G will help fuel future "smart cities" by connecting sensor networks. 5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality(虚拟现实). Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.

. The increased data flow across 5G networks would give Internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety. , or a network breakdown could cause self-driving vehicles to crash.

A. Why is 5G so popular

B. What is this technology

C. Every coin has two sides

D. The new 5G system promises more of the same

E. It will move beyond mobile network technology

F. A breakdown of 5G networks may cause economic losses

G. A failure during a doctor's remote operation could lead to death

It was Mother's Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my son who was five years old, Tenyson. As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Fortunately, a lot of people stopped to help out.

While we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple. He said to me, "Mom, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone." Seeing that there was a flower stall(摊位) at the front of the supermarket, he added, "Why shouldn't we buy the lady a flower? It will make her feel better." I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over and told the flower seller what we wanted. "Just take it," she replied. "I can't take your money for such a wonderful deed."

Medical staff had arrived, and were looking after the injured woman. There we saw the old man was also in great horror, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong. We gave the flower to the woman's husband and I told him it was from my son. At that moment, the old man started crying and said, "Thank you very much." He then turned to me, "You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you. "

The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Regardless of being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and tenderly said, "Happy Mother's Day to you, too."

Paragraph 1:

After a moment, the elderly lady was taken into an ambulance,

Paragraph 2:

One year later,
