Nick Gibb said he had concerns about the effect that the phone was having on children, and also said the Government should introduce lessons for pupils on how to limit their screen time. Mr Gibb said, Schools obviously are free to set their own behaviour policies but my own view is that schools should ban (禁止)mobile telephones and smart phones inside school, and particularly inside classrooms. I believe very strongly that children should be limiting their own use at home. Every hour spent online and on a smart phone is an hour less talking to family, and it39。s an hour less exercise and it39。s an hour less sleep. And of course it is a lack of sleep that research is showing can have a damaging effect on a child39。s mental health.” The parents are told that children will be asked to break off at least every two hours and avoid social media before bedtime. The UK would be following in the footsteps of European countries if schools were to introduce a ban. with French pupils being told to leave their smart phones at home when they returned from their summer holidays last year. At the Festival of Education at Wellington College last summer, Professor Michael from America said that any sensible head would ban mobile phones. It39。s far too distracting for children having mobile phones. Texting, playing games, all this takes place. Mobile phones go off in classrooms, disrupting lessons. Ban them. If children want to use a phone in an emergency they can use the school phone.(1)What39。s Nick Gibb39。s attitude towards using mobile phone in school? ....(2)What is one possible result of spending too much time online according to the text? hour less exercise a week. effects on sleep quality. munication with family. improvement in mental health.(3)Which country has asked students to leave their phones at home? .

Nick Gibb said he had concerns about the effect that the phone was having on children, and also said the Government should introduce lessons for pupils on how to limit their screen time.”可知,英國教育大臣表示,手機應遠離教室。手機會給孩子帶來不良影響,并說政府應該引進課程來限制學生上網(wǎng)看手機的時間,因此文章的主要內容是“應該禁止學生在教室里使用手機”。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查,是一篇教育類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系,進行概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 For all the technological wonders of modem medicine, health carewith its fax machines and clipboards(寫字板)—is out of date. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the artificialintelligence ( AI) revolution. Eric Topol, an expert in heart disease and enthusiast for digital medicine, thinks AI will be particularly useful for such tasks as examining images, observing heart traces for abnormalities or turning doctors39。 words into patient records. It will be able to use masses of data to work out the best treatments, and improve workflows in hospitals. In short, AI is set to save time, lives and money. The fear some people have is that AI will be used to deepen the assemblyline culture of modem medicine. If it gives a gift of time to doctors, they argue that this bonus should be used to extend consultations, rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently. That is a fine idea, but as health swallows an everbigger share of national wealth, greater efficiency is exactly what is needed, at least so far as governments and insurers are concerned. Otherwise, rich societies may fail to cope with the needs of ageing and growing populations. An extra five minutes spent chatting with a patient is costly as well as valuable. The AI revolution will also enable managerial accountants to adjust and evaluate every aspect of treatment. The autonomy of the doctor will surely be weakened, especially, perhaps, in publichealth systems which are dutybound to cut unnecessary costs. The Hippocratic Oath(誓言) holds that there is an art to medicine as well as a science, and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the surgeon39。s knife or the chemist39。s drug”. There39。s lots of sense in it: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to recover better. Yet as the supply of human carers fails to satisfy the demand for health care, the future may involve consultations on smartphones and measurements monitored by chatbots. The considerately warmed stethoscope (聽診器) ,placed gently on a patient39。s back, may bee a relic of the past.(1)What39。s Dr Topol39。s attitude toward AI39。s ing into medicine? ....(2)What does the author of the
