Recently Chinese scientists have used CRISPR to treat a person with lung cancer. Meanwhile, U.S. sci

42、行) work that needs to be done.”The potential violations were abundant and came in several forms, according to the study. More than 1，000 childrens apps collected identifying information from kids using tracking software whose terms explicitly forbid their use for childrens apps. The researchers also
43、 said nearly half the apps fail to always use standard security measures to transmit sensitive data over the Web, suggesting a violation of reasonable datasecurity measures laid out by COPPA. Some of the apps in question included Disneys “Wheres My Water？”， Gamelofts “Minion Rush” and Duolingo, a la
44、nguage learning app. The findings also suggested that app creators that had been officially recognized as COPPAcompliant(遵守) were no better than any of the other app developers at protecting childrens privacy.Disney argued that the study doesnt claim to identify any actual violations. “Protecting ch
45、ildrens online privacy is very important to us and we are confident that our practices comply with the law，” the company said. “We have a sound COPPA compliance program, and we maintain strict data collection and use policies for Disney apps created for children and families.”Gameloft announced that
46、 childrens privacy is of “utmost importance” and is investigating the issue. “We have a very strict datacollection policy at Gameloft and always make sure that we are compliant with protection laws，” the company said. Duolingo did not respond to requests for comment.Although Google stated that “We a
47、re taking the researchers report very seriously and looking into their findings”， critics of Googles app platform say the company has profited greatly from advances in datatracking technology. “Google has basically looked the other way while it was able to generate revenues off of childrens apps，” s

To fill fee sophisticated jobs of tomorrow, the authors argued, the reskilling and upskilling of todays workers will be critical. Around t

We have to make sure all our kids are equipped for the jobs of the future, which means not just being able to work with computers but developing the anal

54、sical strength less necessary for humans, the information revolution frees us to complement, rather than compete with, the technical competence of computers. Many of the most important jobs of the future will require soft skills, not advanced algebra.Back in 1983, the sociologist Arlie Russell Hochs

She explored the techniques that flight attendants used to maintain the friendly manners their airline demanded in the face of abusive customers: taking deep breaths, silently remi
56、nding themselves to stay cool, or building empathy for the nasty passenger. I try to remember that if hes drinking too much, hes probably really seared f flying, one attendant explained. I think to myself: “Hes like a little child.”Across the economy, technology is edging human workers into more emo
57、tional territory. In retail Amazon and its imitators are rapidly devouring the market for routine purchases, but to the extent that bricks-and-mortar shops survive. It is because some people prefer chatting with a clerk to clicking buttons,. Already, arguments for preserving rural post offices focus
58、 less on their services-handled mostly online-than on their value as centers for community social life.In the sphere of medicine, one of the loudest moments of a physicians job is sitting with a patient, surveying how a diagnosis will alter the landscape of that patients life. That is work no techno
59、logy can match-unlike surgery, where autonomous robots are learning to perform with superhuman precision. With AI now being developed as a diagnostic tool, doctors have begun thinking about how to complement these automated skills. As a strategic report for Britains National Health Service (NHS) put
60、 it in 2013: The NHS could employ hundreds of thousands of staff with the right technological skills, but without the compassion to care, then we will have failed to meet the needs of patients.A growing real-world demand for workers with empathy and a talent for making other people feel at ease requ
61、ires a serious shift in perspective. It means moving away from our singular focus on academic performance as the road to success. It means giving more respect, and better pay, to workers too often genetically dismissed as unskilled labour. And, it means valuing skills more often found among working-
62、class women than highly educated men.71. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. President Obama launched a programme to develop peoples soft skills.B. There is no need for people to continue developing technical skills.C. Future jobs will require less physical strength but more soft skill
63、s.D. Todays workers have to update their skills to compete with machines.72. The underlined word “empathy” in Paragraph 3 probably means the ability .A. to appreciate othersB. to forgive othersC. to respect others D. to understand others 73. According to the passage, which work of the following jobs
64、 doesnt involve managing emotional demands?A. Flight attendants. B. Software engineers. C. Shop clerks. D. Medical workers.74. What is the authors attitude towards emotional skills?A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Critical.D. Negative.DMy children are perfect. All four of them. Perfect and beautiful and
65、 clever. I bet yours are, too. Except, of course, they are not. In reality, my children and yours are likely to be reasonably average in terms of looks, behavior, intelligence and charm. Thats why it is called average. Your belief in your child being special is more probably a biological thing than
66、a fact.A loved one, particularly a loved child, is edited as we observe them. Other peoples children are spoiled; ours are spirited. Theirs are naughty; ours are confident.This is all natural and even touching when not taken too far. However, it is one thing feeding this idea to ourselves but feedin
67、g it to our children may be a little less desirable. We have the idea thatunlike my parents generationwe should build our childrens self-respect as high as we can. Therefore, their random scribble (胡写乱画) is up there with Picasso, their C-minus is an unfortunate oversight on the part of the teacher,
68、and the fact that no one wants to be friends with them is because they are particularly clever or sensitive.Children see through this kind of thing very quickly and ignore their parents praises as a matter of course. As they grow up, they sense that the wider world judges them differently. This lead
69、s to a hopefully gentle cynicism (猜忌) about anything their parents tell them about their achievements. Perhaps that is OKbut Im not sure if it is good for them to have the parental praise so overlooked.If parents were a littleharshersometimes, this could have two positive effectsfirst, when praise c
70、ame, it would be more likely to be believed and, second, it would fit in rather more accurately with the picture of reality that the child is forming in their heads.A lot of pressure is put on children who are told they are beautiful, special and perfect. Because then, where is there to go? Only dow
71、nwards. They become too much aware of their status in your eyes, and a danger must be that they fear failing you. To be over-praised by your parents is the counter side of being criticized all the time. Both can have negative consequences.It is important to give your children the freedom to be flawe
72、d (缺点)to know that its OK to be imperfect, and that, in fact, we often love people for their flawsperfect people (whom we can only imagine, as they do not exist) are easy to respect, but hard to love.Now I am nearly 60, my main insight is that I am much less special than I once believed. This knowle
73、dge has actually been helpful in leading a more well-balanced life.I certainly wouldnt like to go back to attitudes that my parents, particularly my father, held, that to praise the child was to “spoil them” or make them bigheaded. However, the history of families is like the history of everything e
74、lsethe story of overreactions. We praise our children to the skies, partly because we think it makes them feel good, but also because it makes us feel good. And perhaps it is more the latter than the former.Too much love can be as big a burden as a shortage of it. My advice is to limit your praise.
75、Then every piece of praise will count, rather than being just ignored.75. In some parents eyes, who is to blame for their childrens poor grades at school? A. Picasso. B. The teacher. C. The children. D. The childrens friends.76. One possible consequence of parents over-praising is that_. A. the chil
76、dren will therefore become more confident B. the children will doubt the way the world judges them C. the children will not take their praise seriously D. the children will understand no one can be perfect77. According to the passage, some children feel pressure because_. A. they are often told they
77、 are unique and perfect B. the society judges them differently from their parents C. they are worried that they may let their parents down D. they have no freedom to express how they really feel78. The word “harsher” (Paragraph 5) is closest in meaning to _. A. gentler B. severer C. weaker D. strong
78、er79. Which of the following will the writer most probably agree with? A. Childrens self-respect shouldnt be parents major concern. B. The easiest way to spoil a child is to praise him or her. C. Perfect people deserve our respect but not our love. D. Parents should praise their children but not too
79、 much.80. Which best describes the writers tone in the passage? A.Pessimistic. B. Approving. C. Enthusiastic. D. Concerned.第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)You can relax if remembering everything is not your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength in fact, sele
80、ctive memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers Paul Frankland and Blake Richards of the University of Toronto found that the neurobiology of
81、forgetting can be just as important to our decisionmaking as what our minds choose to remember.“The goal of memory is not the transmission of information through time. Rather, the goal of memory is to help improve decisionmaking. As such, transience(转瞬即逝) is as important as persistence in memory sys
82、tems，” their study in Neuron states.Making intelligent decisions does not mean you need to have all the information at hand, it just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most uptodate information on situations. Our
83、brains do this by generating new neurons(神经元) in our hippocampus(海马体), which have the power to overwrite existing memories that are influencing our decisionmaking.“If youre trying to deal with the situation and your brain is constantly bringing up multiple conflicting memories, that makes it harder
84、for you to make a wise decision，” Richards told Science Daily.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in your brains learning region, try exercising. Moderate aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking, and swimming have been found to increase the number of neurons making important conne
85、ctions in our brains.When we forget the names of certain clients and details about old jobs, our brain is making a choice that these details do not matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The r
86、esearchers found that our brains facilitate decisionmaking by stopping us from focusing too much on minor past details. Instead, the brain promotes generalization, helping us remember the most important gist of a conversation.“One of the things that distinguishes an environment where youre going to
87、want to remember stuff versus an environment where you want to forget stuff is this question of how consistent the environment is and how likely things are to come back into your life，” Richards said.If youre an analyst who meets with a client weekly, your brain will recognize that this is a client
88、whose name and story you need to remember. If this is someone you may never meet again, your brain will weigh that information accordingly.These findings show us that total recall can be overrated. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story. Title：Bei

93、age, single dream of marriage, and no matter what body shape, everyone wants to lose at least another five pounds.Its almost like a natural preoccupation (天性), this wishing away of our lives.Think about it. When was the last time you heard someone say, “I am totally satisfied with myself and my life
94、. I couldnt ask for anything more.”It just doesnt happen. So, I have this idea to create a virtual reality machine that would allow people to actually experience the life of their dreams. For instance, for all the women who live with the unanswered hope that their husband will one day wait at the ba

Music fans might choo

Would experiencing the dreams of a lifetime really make us better people? Im not sure of that answer, or of the true possibility of such an invention.But what I am sure of is that perfection is often over-evaluated.写作内容1用约30个单词写出上文概要；2用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：(1) 陈述你对上文的观点；(2) 用23个理由或论据支撑你的观点。
