Many of us have become so dependent on our smartphones that we use them to carry out 221 tasks every day.
A study of 2,000 smartphone owners reveals(显示) that the average user reaches for their phones at 7：31 a．m.each morning，to check personal e­mails and Facebook.And before they've even got out of bed，the majority of people check the weather，read the news，and send a text or two to friends.It also emerges(出现) that people will check the train times，do their banking and update Instagram early on in the day.
In an average week，the research discovers that users pick up their phones more than 1,500 times to complete various tasks from e­mails to playing games and posting to social media.And the average smartphone user is on their phones for three hours and sixteen minutes a day.This amounts to almost one full day a week using their phones，so it's no wonder almost four in ten users admit feeling lost without their phones.
Many owners also admit finding themselves using their phones without realizing they're doing so，with two thirds saying they have managed to log in and browse Facebook without thinking.And surprisingly，four in ten said they have，at one time or another，checked their e­mails automatically without thinking.
The study has also revealed that our smartphones are now becoming more of a “go­to­gadget”，replacing desktops and laptops，which people only turn to for，on average,140 tasks in a typical day.
4．Tasks carried out on smartphones are about________more than those on desktops and laptops.
A．221　　　　　　　　　　 B．140
C．1,500 D．80
5．On average，how long do people spend on their phones a week?
A．Three hours and sixteen minutes.
B．Almost one full day.
C．About two days.
D．Not mentioned in the passage.
6．What can be learned from the fourth paragraph?
A．People often use their phones unconsciously(无意识地)．
B．One third manage to browse Facebook without thinking.
C．Half of people check their e­mails automatically.
D．Six in ten people don't check their e­mails.
7．What's the best title of the passage?
A．Are We Addicted to Our Smartphones?
B．The Functions of Smartphones
C．The Disadvantages of Smartphones
D．Smartphones Will Take the Place of Desktops and Laptops　
【答案与解析】
4．D　细节理解题。由文章第一段221 tasks和最后一段140 tasks两者相减可知D为正确选项。
5．B　细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句“This amounts to almost one full day a week using their phones.”可知人们一周大约有一整天的时间在看手机，故B为正确选项。
6．A　推理判断题。由文章第四段第一句可知，还有许多用户承认，他们使用手机的时候根本没有意识到自己在做什么，故选A。
7．A　主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人们非常依赖自己的智能手机。故选A。
C
(2018·武汉市高中毕业生调研测试)Companies that have invested(投资) heavily in big data want to know how to make smart investments that will distinguish them from the competition and enable the best possible return before making the decision to go all in.In the past, not all enterprise big data plans went as planned.These failures are not usually published, but the big data failure rate is unusually high.
According to Gartner, only 15% of businesses make it past the experimental stage of these projects.Our fear, as leaders of technology companies, is that with so much attention surrounding AI, the pressure is on for us to apply the technology without first setting clear business goals and understanding the differences between AI and ML and how they should be applied, thus risking falling behind the many decision makers who are adopting technologies.
It's easy to get caught up in the great expectation of artificial intelligence as well as it's promoted, including breakthroughs like deep learning, but those looking to make an outsized influence should instead focus on good old­fashioned machine learning—or cheap learning.
The distinction is simple: Cheap learning is about using basic machine learning techniques on straightforward data sets in different parts of a company to produce a large number of small, gradual improvements.Deep learning, on the other hand, is a specific part of machine learning.Deep learning is a collection of advanced machine learning approaches that make business decisions based on highly complex data sets possible.
For tasks of analyzing raw data, such as images and voice recordings, deep learning is best.But when it comes to working on simplified, structured types of data, we've found cheap machine learning will do_the_trick.When you consider that the majority of data flowing through enterprises falls into this second category, it's clear which tool makes the most sense.
8．What do we know about investment in big data from the first paragraph?
A．It's secret.　 B．It's safe.
C．It's risky. D．It's fruitful.
9．Which of the following adds to the pressure on the leading technology companies?
A．Understanding AI and ML.
B．Wasting too much time on AI.
C．Falling behind other companies.
D．Acting with unclear business goals.
10．What should companies with ambitious concentrate on?
A．A strong influence. B．Big breakthroughs.
C．Cheap learning. D．Deep learning.
11．What does the underlined phrase “do the trick” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Invest. B Cheat.
C．Function. D．Simplify.
【答案与解析】
8．C　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“These failures are not usually published, but the big data failure rate is unusually high.”可知，投资大数据失败率相当高，风险巨大，故选C。

(2018·江苏省张家港市调研考试)Atticus was weak: he was nearly fifty.When Jem and I asked him why he was so old, he said he got started late, which we felt reflected upon his abilities and manliness.He was much older than the parents of our school contemporaries, and there was nothing Jem or I could say about him when our classmates said, “My father—”
Jem was football crazy.Atticus was never too tired to play keep­away, but when Jem wanted to tackle him, Atticus would say, “I'm too old for that, son.”
Our father didn't do anything.He worked in an office, not in a drugstore.Atticus did not drive a dump­truck for the county, he was not the police officer, he did not farm, work in a garage, or do anything that could possibly arouse the admiration of anyone.
Besides that, he wore glasses.He was nearly blind in his left eye, and said left eyes were the tribal(家族的) curse of the Finches.Whenever he wanted to see something well, he turned his head and looked from his right eye.
He did not do the things our schoolmates' fathers did: he never went hunting; he did not play poker or fish or drink or smoke.He sat in the living room and read.
With these characteristics, however, he would not remain as inconspicuous(不显眼) as we wished him to: that year, the whole school talked about him defending Tom Robinson, none of which was complimentary.After my fight with Cecil Jacobs when I committed myself to a policy of chicken, word got around that Scout Finch wouldn't fight any more, her daddy wouldn't let her.This was not entirely correct: I wouldn't fight publicly for Atticus, but the family was private ground.I would fight anyone from a third cousin upwards tooth and nail.Francis Hancock, for example, knew that.
When he gave us our air­guns Atticus wouldn't teach us to shoot.Uncle Jack instructed us therefore; he said Atticus wasn't interested in guns.Atticus said to Jem one day, “I'd rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds.Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit them, but remember it's a sin (罪过) to kill a mockingbird.”
That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.
“Your father's right，” she said.“Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy.They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us.That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
12．Who is telling the story?
A．Francis Hancock. B．Tom Robinson.
C．Scout Finch. D．Miss Maudie.
13．What did the children think of their father Atticus in the beginning?
A．He was not manly or skilled.
B．He was willing to fight for his family.
C．He was interested in nothing in his spare time.
D．He was still energetic though he was nearly 50.
14．What does the underlined word “complimentary” in the 6th paragraph probably mean?
A．Reasonable argument.
B．Good remarks.
C．Wrong judgment.
D．Strong criticism.
15．Mockingbirds can be compared to people who are ______.
A．able but modest
B．disabled but devoted
C．intelligent and entertaining
D．harmless and helpful
【答案与解析】
12．C　细节理解题。根据第六段第二句可知，Scout Finch是“我”的名字，即叙述这个故事的人。故选C。
13．A　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，孩子们一开始不认为他是一个有技能的刚强有力的父亲。故选A。
14．B　词义猜测题。根据第一到第六段的理解可知，作者认为父亲有那么多弱点，不希望他抛头露面，因为作者会因此感到羞辱，但是他却不甘寂寞，硬要出面。所以“talked about him defending Tom Robinson”肯定不是好话，才符合逻辑。由此推断出“complimentary”意为 “赞扬的”。故选B。
15．D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段对mockingbirds的描述，可知mockingbirds既不毁坏别人的花园，也不在玉米地里做窝，除了专心歌唱，什么坏事都不做。故选D。
