8、 Thursday由"电子竞技热"引发的争议
The latest sports craze is not even a sport. According to a recent article, "e-sports"are attracting a large number of audiences.
In c-sports, players and teams compete in popular video computer games such as Dota 2 and Overwatch. Fans fill arenas to watch the action live on huge television screens.
The games have gone way past kids playing against each other while sitting on a sofa at home. The International, a major competition for players of Dota 2, awarded $24 million in prizes, with the winner taking home almost $11 million. A recent e-sports competition attracted more than 80, 000 fans to the Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of computer games. I know that some games can be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.
And please don't tell me that competitive gaming is a real sport because it requires hand-eye coordination. According to my American Heritage Dictionary, a sport is "an activity involving physical effort and skill".I don't think anyone works up much of a sweat playing video games.
Too often, regular sports send kids a kind of message. Competition starts early, when lots of kids are not ready for the ups and downs of games. Trails and travel teams come next, giving too many kids the message they are"not good" at sports. So lots of kids give up sports and start playing more video games.
Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches, parents and kids, should think more about the advantages of real sports.
(1)、What are"e-sports" according to the text?A、Sports events on television screens. B、Easy sports games for kids. C、Video computer game competitions. D、The latest sports in the Olympics.(2)、What might the author think of"e-sports"?A、They are not instructive. B、They need too much time and money. C、They should be banned in school. D、They have some negative influence on children.(3)、What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A、To introduce a new kind of sport. B、To introduce a competition held in Beijing. C、To explain the importance of playing sports. D、To call on people to pay more attention to traditional sports.(4)、Where is this text most likely from?A、A guidebook. B、A magazine. C、A novel. D、An advertisement. -

14、 Wednesday百度无人驾驶出租车在武汉运营
On June 11th, 2024, something amazing happened in Wuhan. Baidu, a big tech company, said that 1, 000 driverless taxis are now working in the city.
Baidu, which has the biggest search engine in China, got permission to let its Apollo Go autonomous ride-hailing service run on the open roads in Wuhan during the day. This is a big step for Baidu and maybe a change in how China sees this new technology.
With this permission, Baidu can offer fully driverless taxi services in some areas in Wuhan from 9 am to 5 pm. At first, there will not be too many of these taxis.
The coming of these driverless taxis changes how people travel. They can work all the time, so people can get a taxi whenever they want, even late at night. This makes it easier for people to move around the city and makes the city livelier at night and better for business.
Also, this technology saves money because there are no drivers to pay. This might make taking a taxi cheaper in the future. And it's safer because there are no mistakes from human drivers like being tired.
But there are some problems. Traditional taxi drivers might have a hard time. We need to think about how to help them find new jobs.
All in all, 1, 000 driverless taxis in Wuhan are a big thing. It shows we are moving faster to a new time of smart travel. There might be some hard times, but there are also more chances and good things. We hope driverless technology gets better and better and makes travel better for everyone.
(1)、When did Baidu's driverless taxis start working in Wuhan?A、On June 10th, 2024. B、On June 11th, 2024. C、On May 11th, 2024. D、On May 10th, 2024.(2)、We can infer from the passage that ____.A、driverless taxis will replace traditional taxis soon B、the number of driverless taxis will increase in the future C、driverless taxis are not safe at all D、traditional taxi drivers are happy with the new taxis(3)、What can we conclude from the text?A、Driverless taxis only work in the daytime. B、The cost of taking a driverless taxi is very high. C、Driverless technology will have a great influence on transportation. D、There are no problems with driverless taxis.(4)、The main idea of the passage is ____ .A、the advantages of driverless taxis B、the problems of driverless taxis C、the introduction of driverless taxis in Wuhan D、the comparison between driverless taxis and traditional taxis(5)、What's the author's attitude toward driverless taxis?A、Completely negative. B、Completely positive. C、Neutral. D、Unclear. -

20、 Tuesday中国许多学校进行了高科技改造
In recent years, many schools in China have had high-tech changes. They have turned from using"old-school" multimedia tools to AI technology to add value to student learning and life at school.
At Tianjin Eco-City School, the Chinese tech company iFlytek's smart school system makes learning a full experience. In science classes, students use VR glasses to learn about what's inside a rocket and how it is sent up in a computer game.
For P. E. classes, Yuwen School in Wuhu, Anhui, has used self-testing tools with AI visual analysis technology for activities such as standing long jump, sit-ups and so on. With facial recognition technology, students can get voice reports and results on how they did right after each exercise to improve themselves.
As well as learning, students can also enjoy meals made by smart dining halls. In June, last year, Yingkou No.1 Middle School introduced a smart dining hall with an"online meal choice and facial recognition meal pickup" system. To meet the different needs of students, the dining hall offers over 400 dishes, with six to seven choices for each meal. Parents and students can choose meals at home from the online system. It helps the school plan and prepare meals, cutting down on food and kitchen waste.

E. classes?A、Students want to take part in more activities. B、Students can learn how to improve their exercise. C、It provides more information for better school life.
