Here is a look at some of the top products presented at CES 2022. All-in-one communication Technology company Anker announced the launch of an “all-in-one” device designed to improve communications for employees working from home. The Anker Work B600 sits on top of the computer display like a traditional webcam. But it combines several elements of communication into one device that includes a camera, speaker, microphone and a light. AirSelfie camera Electronics maker AirSelfie launched its latest self-flying camera designed to take “selfie” pictures. The new device, called Air Pix, is a small, light camera that flies through the air and captures high-quality photographs and video. Air Pix can fly, frame and take pictures all by itself before landing back on the user’s hand. Labrador’s assistive robot Robot maker Labrador announced its Retriever robot designed to hold things and, as its name suggests, also retrieve(恢复) things. The robot can be controlled by voice commands or from an app on a phone. It can also be programmed based on an exact map of a users home.The Retriever is designed “ to serve as an extra pair of hands and lighten the load of everyday tasks in the home ”. Self-driving tractor American-based farm equipment manufacturer John Deere presented a fully self-driving tractor equipped with six different cameras and a series of sensors to guide the tractor through the fields. Farmers can control the vehicle and see the tractor’s progress in real-time through a mobile device which is to help farmers do more work with less equipment and people. The company noted that such machines can help improve farming methods as the world’s population grows and food demand is expected to rise 50 percent by 2050. 1．Which operator’s product will teleworking staff be most interested in?

B Raquel Montes, a Spanish national, moved to China last November, where she said she had her first lockdown (封闭) experience during the COVID-19. “I think I’m just being patient. I’m totally connected all the time with people. I have many friends calling me all the time. And I’m working at home. So it’s OK for me,” said she. She has also been keeping positive and happy. She does dance every day. It’s her neighbor Melinda who invited her to do voluntary work. The Spaniard said, “I’m happy to help because the security guys are bringing packages to us all the time and they must be exhausted. I also want to feel that I’m doing something for others.” Montes and other volunteers delivered bakery products to their neighbors, put the boxes in front of the door, knocked and left. “It was quite fun,” she recalled. “When I went home that day, I felt much better because I did something and I got some fresh air. It was a good feeling. I told Melinda, if they need me, I can go every day and help out.” Through voluntary work, Montes has come to know more Chinese and foreigners, and became friends with them. Montes also celebrated a very special birthday on April 11—under lockdown. “For me, my birthday is a big day and I always celebrate it like a party,” she stated. “I wasn’t expecting much this year. I wasn’t expecting flowers or any feast. But it was so much fun because I got surprises.” A friend who was locked down in her office managed to get flowers for her. Montes gushed, “I also had many phone calls from my friends around the world. ” Before midnight that day, Melinda knocked on her door and asked her to check the chair outside. Surprisingly, she saw a small cake and candles prepared by neighbors. “I have everything, a cake, candles, and flowers. It was great, ” she said. 4．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?

With it, teachers can improve the classroom experience in a variety of ways. But misuse of the computer will probably result in disadvantages. To investigate the way technology is being used in our school district, I recently spoke with Jeanine Lowell, who teaches social studies at Lake Town Middle School. Mrs. Lowell informed me that computers have helped to increase students’ motivation and prepare them for life in a technological society. “These kids are probably going to be using some kind of computer system when they graduate from high school,” Lowell noted. “It’s important that we provide a proper introduction to them in the classroom.” Lowell also observed that the computers have made it easier to promote different areas of learning, so that students can work on a project or topic that relates to more than one subject. With all of these benefits, however, come a few shortcomings. Although Mrs. Lowell has nearly wallpapered her room with warnings that state: “The computer is NOT A TOY”, not everyone in the class agrees with this idea. Some students get easily distracted (分心) by the internet and are quite good at making it look as if they are doing work when they are really checking their email or watching videos. “You’ve got to be three steps ahead,” she told me, “if you want to stay on top of what they’re actually doing on the computer.” Some schools use some type of blocking software to ensure that students cannot access improper sites at school. More complex programs use a server-based, network-wide program instead of software that runs on personal computers. Research has shown that in a way these server-based blocking programs provide better security, because some students can disable the software on a personal computer. However, there is no replacement for the watchful eye of a good teacher like Jeanine Lowell. There are also no electronic cure-alls for any of education’s many challenges. Technology is a useful tool, but that is all it is: a tool. 8．Where is this passage most likely from? A．A newspaper. B．An advertisement. C．A novel.

A．post warning signs throughout the classroom B．use blocking software on personal computers C．monitor what students do on the computers carefully D．use server-based software programs on personal computers 11．What is the wri
