Part III Reading Comprehension (25 points)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
It sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie or a silly cartoon: a futuristic traveling tube that can quickly shoot people wherever they want to go, inside a tiny pod. But this may be just around the corner for people looking for a faster, easier, and cheaper-than-ever way to travel.
South African-American inventor and billionaire Elon Musk, who, in the past, has worked on both private space flight and electric cars, recently announced he has been working on the design of this traveling tube, which could forever change the way we travel the world.
In an interview, Musk described the new tube as a fifth kind of transportation. "We have planes, trains, automobiles, and boats,” he explained. "What if there was a fifth mode? I have a name for it. It's called the Hyperloop."
“This system I have in mind... can never crash, is immune to weather, it goes three or four times faster than the bullet train...it goes at an average speed of twice what an aircraft would do. You would go from downtown L.A. to downtown San Francisco in under 30 minutes.”
People using the Hyperloop would shoot around in pods, which are each just over six-and-a-half feet across, and the pods would travel through tubes located either above round or under water.
The Hyperloop could even run 24/7,be cheap, and allow people to travel on their own schedule. People could show up at the Hyperloop station whenever they want and be quickly sent on their way.
Additionally Musk believes the Hyperloop could be completely powered by the sun-making it more environmentally friendly than cars, airplanes, or train systems. Someday it could possibly move people between the East and West Coasts of the United States in less than an hour. Eventually the Hyperloop would be able to move people around the world.
Musk not the first person outside of science fiction novelists to dream up vacuum tube technology for moving people. The idea has been around for some time, and inventors in other countries, including China, are reportedly working on similar technology.
21. The phrase "just around the corner" (Para. 1) means“_______”.
A. preferable B. forthcoming C. reliable D. available
22. The “pod” mentioned in the passage is a(n) _______.
A. tube-shaped music player
B. wireless earphone
C. engine that provides a driving force
D. vehicle that carries passengers
23. Which of the following is NOT true of Elon Musk?
A. He draws insights from science fictions.
B. He has tried his hand at space flight.
C. He has manufactured electric cars.
D. He cares for environmental protection.
24. What can be learned about the Hyperloop?
A. It could be developed at a low cost.
B. It would remind people of their schedule.
C. It could operate round the clock.
D. It would run at regular intervals.
25. China is mentioned in the last paragraph in order to ______.
A. demonstrate that it is an innovative country
B. give an example of those working on similar technology
C. show a successful model of vacuum tube traveling
D. indicate a potential for international cooperation
Passage Two
How are you feeling today? I've got a few aches and pains, but nothing serious. However, when things become more critical, 1 would normally book myself an appointment with my doctor-although by the time I get to see him, the problem will have probably gone away. That's because in the UK at least, we usually have to wait a few days before the doctor can fit us in.
Luckily today, technology has come to our rescue. There are thousands of apps available on our smartphones that can offer first aid advice and allow us to self-diagnose our sickness--ranging from a simple cold or flu to some exotic disease. And together with the internet, we have an ocean of medical information at our fingertips.
But is too much knowledge a good thing? By reading up on an illness, we discover its side-effects and what could happen in a worst-case situation. More worrying is that we give ourselves the wrong diagnosis, and then worry ourselves sick that we're going to die. This health anxiety, fueled by the internet, is called cyberchondria". It gives sufferers a deep fear of diseases and, according to experts, it's on the rise. Professor Peter Tyrer from Imperial College London said, "We find that approximately four out of five of our patients with health anxiety spend literally hours on the internet. One of the first things we do in treatment is to tell them to stop browsing the internet."
A study a few years ago also found many doctors felt intimidated by the increasing numbers of web-wise patients arriving in surgeries. One doctor admitted to not being very happy about patients using the internet, saying: "They all seemed to come to me with things I'd never heard of and very often with things which seem rather bizarre or inappropriate."
Of course there is no doubt, the world wide web has most of the information we need to diagnose our symptoms, but Doctor Tyrer points out, "it doesn't have any judgment associated with it." This is why having a consultation with a doctor
face-to-face still has its benefits.
It would seem then that a virtual online doctor can prescribe a dose of useful advice, but technology hasn't replaced the human medical expert just yet.
26. What does the author try to emphasize in Paragraph 1?
A. The low efficiency of the healthcare system.
B. The tips for making appointments with doctors.
C. The treatment for common health problems.
D. The critical challenges for general hospitals.
27. Cyberchondria(Para 3)can be defined as ______.
A. Over dependence on the internet for medical advice
B. too much knowledge about health problems
C. health concerns caused by online information
D. incorrect diagnosis based on web knowledge
28. According to the doctors, cyberchondria ______.
A. can be prevented
B. is not unusual
C. is hard to predict
D. may not last long
29. How do doctors in general feel about web-wise patients?
A. They are surprised at patients' wise use of online information.
B. They are frightened by patients' blind trust of internet information.
C. They are satisfied with patients' sufficient knowledge about diseases.
D. They are troubled by patients' excessive search for health information.
30. According to Doctor Tyrer, what is the problem with online medical information?
A. It is usually not sufficient.
B. It is not always accurate.
C. It fails to give judgment.
D. It provides too much information.
Passage Three
Many of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with accusations of various unethical acts over the past decade. They've wasted tons of food, They've underpaid their suppliers and they've contributed to excessive plastic waste in their packaging, which has had its impact on our environment.
But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice. In response to growing consumer resentment against the huge amounts of plastic waste generated by plastic packaging, some of the largest UK supermarkets have signed up to a pact promising to transform packaging and cut plastic wastage. In a pledge to reuse, recycle or convert all plastic wastage by 2025, supermarkets are now beginning to take some responsibility for the part they play in contributing to the damage to our environment, with one major supermarket announcing their plan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their cwm-brand products by 2023.
In response to criticisms over food waste, some supermarkets are donating some of their food surplus. However, charities estimate that they are only accessing two per cent of supermarkets' total food surplus, so this hardly seems to be solving the problem.
Some say that supermarkets are simply not doing enough. Most supermarkets operate under a veil of secrecy when asked for exact figures of food wastage, and without more transparency it is hard to come up with a systematic approach to avoiding waste and to redistributing surplus food.
Some smaller companies are now taking matters into their own hands and offering consumers a greener option. Shops like Berlin's Original Unverpakt and London's Bulk Market are plastic-free shops that have opened in recent years, encouraging customers to use their own containers or convertible bags. Online grocer Farmdrop eliminates the need for large warehouses and the risk of huge food surplus by delivering fresh produce from local farmers to its customers on a daily basis via electric cars, offering farmers the lion's share of the retail price.
There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste. But perhaps the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move towards a more sustainable future for us all.
31. Which is NOT mentioned as an unethical act of major supermarket chains?
A. Wasting large amounts of food.
B. Producing excessive plastic waste.
C. Under paying their suppliers.
D. Selling goods of poor quality.
32. The word "pact"(Para.2) is closest in meaning to"______，
A. agreement
B. organization
C. campaign
D. program
33. According to Paragraph 3, supermarkets' donation of their food surplus ______.
A. receives high praises
B. is considered as a good charity
C. is regarded as not doing enough
D. arouses more criticisms
34. Farmdrop is mentioned as an example that provides ______.
A. plastic-free bags and containers
B. easier access to fresh produce
C. a great variety of healthy foods
D. goods at more competitive prices
35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that______.
A. some businesses are reluctant to reduce their waste
B. major supermarkets refuse to do public good
C. some small companies better protect the environment
D. a more sustainable future for all is soon to come
Passage Four
We all know people who say they have "no sense of direction." Yet for some people that description is true in all circumstances: If they take a single wrong turn on an established route they often become totally lost. This happens even when they are just a few miles from where they live.
This condition is called developmental topographic disorientation (DTD), the inability to orient within the environment. It didn't even have a formal name until 2009, when Giuseppe Iaria reported his first case in the journal Neuropsychologia.
Ellen Rose had been a patient of mine for years before I realized that she had this life-long learning disability. Like other people with DTD, she can follow a route in pieces, but it never becomes part of a larger spatial understanding. That's because she does not have a larger spatial understanding of her environment.
I asked her to draw a diagram of the second floor of the house she shares with her daughter and son-in-law. It was a difficult task for her (she lives on the first floor but is very familiar with the second). She described her effort not as a bird looking down from above, but as a spider crawling across the paper tracing a route from one room to the Ellen has always wondered what was wrong with her. She knew that when others ascribed her problems to simply not paying attention they were mistaken She worried that her problems in traveling might be a sign of something more serious than just getting lost easily, but I had no idea what that might be.
Finding out that she had DID was a relief. Knowing that something has a name can be a liberating experience. All of a sudden it is a thing, a concept with defining characteristics. It is in a way, a kind of map.
36. What is the relation between Ellen and the author?
A. Student and teacher
B. Subject and researcher
C. Employee and employer
D. Patient and doctor.
37. It can be learned that people with DTD _______.
A. are unable to find their position in an environment
B. find it difficult to remember where they have been
C. dislike traveling to a faraway place on their own
D. are characterized by their inability to concentrate
38. From Ellen's difficulty in drawing her own house, we can infer that______.
A. observing from high above is more effective than from the bottom
B. common people tend to perceive a space from a bird's eye view
C. it is useful to get familiar with our living environment
D. people with DTD have a poor sense of vision
39. How did Ellen feel about her DTD?
A. She had a clear idea what it was and how to deal with it.
B. She worried that she might misunderstand people around her.
C. She thought she could improve her condition by paying more attention.
D. She was afraid that it might bring problems other than disorientation.
40. The word “map” in the last paragraph probably means“_______”.
A. cure
B. design
C. proposal
D. clue
Section B
Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments arc followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Face masks are one of the best defenses against the spread of COVID-19, but their growing adoption is having a second, unintended effect: breaking facial recognition algorithms(算法)。
Wearing face masks that adequately cover the mouth and nose causes the error rate of some of the most widely used facial recognition algorithms to rise to between 5 percent and 50 percent, a study by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has found. Black masks were more likely to cause errors than blue masks, and the more of the nose covered by the mask, the harder the algorithms found it to identify the face.
“We need to understand how face recognition technology deals with masked faces,” said the author of the report and NIST computer scientist. “We have begun by focusing on how an algorithm developed before the pandemic(大流行病)might be affected by subjects wearing face masks. Later this summer, we plan to test the accuracy of algorithms that were intentionally developed with masked faces in mind.”
Facial recognition algorithms such as those tested by NIST work by measuring the distances between features in a target's face. Masks reduce the accuracy of these algorithms by removing most of these features, although some still remain. This is slightly different from how facial recognition works on iPhones, for example, which use depth sensors for extra security, ensuring that the algorithms can't be fooled by showing the camera a picture (a danger that is not present in the scenarios NIST is concerned with).
Comment 1
Well, that's one good thing to come out of the pandemic. Mass surveillance is nonsense. Time to pair masks up with sunglasses to deliver the decisive stroke.
Comment 2
"Wearing face masks that adequately cover the mouth and nose causes the error rate of some of the most widely used facial recognition algorithms to rise sharply" Rubbish technology! I would've never guessed.
Comment3
There's a reason why some country is already using gait(步态)analysis. Facial recognition is too easy to block or to fool.
Comment 4
Pretty soon they are going to do...analysis. With the development of AI, there will be a way out.
Comment 5
The AI's getting better, though, so soon it won't matter. Just like how you can pick out a relative or close friend even in bad CCTV footage, so too can AI. Your height, walking gait, mannerisms, voice, ears, clothing, etc, all add up to YOU.
41. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The best way to defend against COVID-19.
B. Efforts to improve facial recognition technology.
C. Methods to fool the facial recognition system.
D. The impact of masks on facial recognition accuracy.
42. The NIST study found that compared with blue masks, black masks______.
A. were more widely used by the public
B. caused more errors in facial recognition
C. provided better protection against the virus
D. required less complex algorithms
43.Comment 1 seems to be ______.
A. in favor of the rules for wearing face masks
B. in favor of the facial recognition technology
C. against the wide use of facial recognition
D. against the requirements for wearing face masks
44.Which comment views the current facial recognition technology with contempt?
A. Comment 2.
B. Comment 3.
C. Comment 4.
D. Comment 5.
45. Which of the following is positive about the future technological advance?
A. Comment 2 and Comment 3.
B. Comment 1 and Comment 4.
C. Comment 3 and Comment 5.
D. Comment 4 and Comment 5.

Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
The English countryside has a classic image. People imagine that life in the country is slow and calm; that there are no traffic jams, no pollution, and no crime. In some places, this is true; but in 46 it is not.
Small towns and villages are becoming more and more 47 ;people have more space and most houses have gardens. But problems are 48 . Lots of people want to live in the country and work in the city; so more and more people travel 49 distances each day, to go to work. Of course they don't use buses or trains; they use cars. Little villages now have traffic problems in the morning, just 50 big cities!
The problems are very complicated! If everyone moves into the country, the peace of the countryside will 51 ! People leave cities and big towns, to escape from urban problems; but more and more, they are 52 their problems with them. On warm summer days, and cold winter days, air pollution can be a big problem in large 53 of the south of England, not just in London.
Perhaps there is 54 for the future. Soon Britain's population will stop rising. From about the year 2030, it will perhaps start to fall. In 100 years’ time, there will be less people in Britain than today - perhaps two million less. No doubt there will be 55 pollution too; oil and petrol will probably be rare by then.

Part VI Translation (10 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Personality is the pattern of thoughts feelings and behaviors unique to a person. Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People tend to think of personality as fixed. But according to psychologists, that's not how it works. Personality is a developmental phenomenon. It's not just a static thing that you're stuck with and can't get over. That's not to say that you're a different person each day you wake up. In the short term, change can be nearly imperceptible. Longitudinal studies, in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable on shorter time scales.

A.证明它是一个创新的国家 ，
B. 举例说明那些从事类似技术工作的人,
C. 显示成功的真空管行进模型 ，
D. 表明国际合作的潜力
【参考译文】
这听起来像是科幻电影或傻傻的的动画片中的某种东西：一种未来派旅行电子管，可以在小小的仓间内快速将人们发射到想要去的地方。但人们寻求比以往更快，更轻松，更便宜的出行方式，这可能指日可待了。
南非裔发明家和亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)过去曾从事私人太空飞行和电动汽车领域的研究，最近宣布他一直在研究这种旅行管，这可能永远改变我们世界旅行的方式。
在一次采访中，马斯克将新管形容为第五种运输方式。他解释说：“我们有飞机，火车，汽车和轮船。如果有第五种模式将如何?我给它命名为Hyperloop。”
“我构思的这个系统……永远不会坠毁，不受天气影响，其运行速度比子弹头火车快三到四倍……它的平均速度是飞机的两倍。您将在30分钟内从洛杉矶市中心到达旧金山市中心。”
使用Hyperloop的人会在舱中向四周发射，每个舱刚好横跨六英尺半，并且舱会穿过陆上或水下的管道。
Hyperloop甚至可以24小时/7天运行，费用还很便宜，并允许人们按自己的时间表旅行。人们可以随时在Hyperloop站出现，并迅速地将他们送到想去的地方。
另外，马斯克认为，超级高铁可能完全由阳光驱动，从而使其比汽车，飞机或火车系统更加环保。有一天，它有可能在不到一个小时的时间内将人们在美国东海岸和西海岸之间互相转移。最终，Hyperloop能够将人们运送到世界各地。
马斯克不是科幻小说家之外的第一个为移动人们而幻想真空管技术的人。这个想法已经存在了一段时间，据报道，包括中国在内的其他国家的发明者也在研究类似技术。
Passage Two
【文章介绍】本文主要以英国预约医生看病难做为切入点，引出人们开始倾向于借助网络来诊断自己的疾病，从而导致的健康焦虑症患的出现，根据这一现象，得出结论网络医生有帮助， 但是还未到能取代实际医生的，面对面诊断还是很必要的。
26.【答案】A

【误项排除】A他们对患者明智地使用在线信息感到惊讶。 B患者对互联网信息的盲目信任使他们感到恐惧。C他们对患者对疾病的充分了解感到满意。D.他们因患者过度搜索健康信息而感到困扰。
30.【答案】B
【考点】细节理解题
【解析】根据Tyrer医生的说法，在线医疗信息有什么问题?
文中"it doesn't have any judgment associated with it." This is why having a consultation with a doctor
A通常这是不够的。B.并不总是准确的。C.无法作出判断。D它提供了太多信息。
【参考译文】
你今天感觉如何?我有些酸痛，但不严重。可是，当事情变得更加紧急时，通常我会给自己预约一次医生-尽管等到我去见他时，问题可能已经消失了。那是因为，至少在英国，我们通常需要等待几天才能约到医生。
今天幸运的是，科技来救我们了。我们的智能手机上有成千上万的应用程序，这些应用程序可以提供急救建议并允许我们自我诊断疾病-从简单的感冒或流感到某些外来疾病。与互联网一起，医学信息的海洋让我们触手可及。
但是，太多的知识是件好事吗?通过阅读疾病，我们发现了它的副作用以及在最坏情况下可能发生的情况。更令人担忧的是，我们给自己做出错误的诊断，然后担心自己生病，可能要死了。这种由互联网推动的健康焦虑被称为“网络软骨症”。它使患者对疾病深感恐惧，而且据专家称，这种情况正在增加。伦敦帝国理工学院的彼得·泰勒教授说：“我们发现大约五分之四的人患有这种疾病，花了数小时在互联网上的健康焦虑症患。我们要做的第一件事就是告诉他们停止浏览互联网。”
几年前的一项研究还发现，许多医生被的数量增加的来就诊的网络智慧病患吓到。一位医生承认对使用互联网的患者不是很满意，他说：“他们似乎都是带着我从未听说过的东西来找我的，而且那些东西常常是看上去很奇怪或不合适。”
当然，毫无疑问，万维网具有诊断症状所需的大多数信息，但是Tyrer医生指出：“它没有任何与之相关的判断。”这就是为什么要咨询医生
面对面仍然有其好处。
这样看来，虚拟的在线医生可以开出一些有用的建议，但是技术尚未取代人类医学专家。

最后一段原文 ”But perhaps the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move towards a more sustainable future for us all.”释义为“但也许大型超市可能会从这些较小的杂货店中汲取灵感，并逐步朝着我们所有人更可持续的未来发展。”，由此此题选C项, 向小公司学习保护环境。
A一些企业不愿减少浪费 ，B大型超市拒绝做公益 ，C一些小公司更好地保护环境，D.所有人的可持续发展的未来即将到来
【参考译文】
在过去十年中，许多大型连锁超市都因各种不道德行为而受到指责。他们浪费了很多食物，他们给供应商的工资不足，并且造成了包装中过多的塑料浪费，这对我们的环境造成了影响。
但是，超市和杂货店开始兴起并引起注意。为了回应消费者对塑料包装所产生的大量塑料废料的不满情绪，英国一些最大的超级市场已签署一项协议，承诺改变包装并减少塑料浪费。为了保证在2025年之前重新利用，回收或转换所有塑料浪费，超市现在开始对它们在破坏环境中所起的作用承担一些责任，一家大型超市宣布了其计划消除所有塑料包装的计划。到2023年他们的cwm品牌产品。
为了回应对食物浪费的批评，一些超市正在捐赠剩余的食物。但是，慈善机构估计，他们只能获得超市总粮食过剩的2%，因此这似乎无法解决问题。
有人说，超市根本做得不够。当要求提供确切的食物浪费数字时，大多数超市都处于保密状态，如果没有更高的透明度，很难提出一种避免浪费和重新分配剩余食物的系统方法。
一些较小的公司现在将事情交到自己手中，并为消费者提供更绿色的选择。柏林的Original Unverpakt和伦敦的Bulk Market等商店都是无塑料商店，近年来已经开业，它们鼓励顾客使用自己的容器或可转换的袋子。在线杂货商Farmdrop通过每天通过电动汽车从当地农民向其客户交付新鲜农产品的方式为农民提供零售价格的最大份额，从而消除了大型仓库的需要和巨大的食物过剩的风险。
毫无疑问，我们在减少食物浪费和塑料浪费方面还有很长的路要走。但也许大型超市可能会从这些较小的杂货店中汲取灵感，并逐步朝着我们所有人更可持续的未来发展

40.【答案】A
【考点】同义替换
【解析】 最后一段中的“地图”一词可能意味着“ _______”。 。
【误项排除】A治愈 ，B设计 ，C提案 ，D.线索 。
【参考译文】
我们都知道有人说他们“没有方向感”。但是对于某些人来说，这种描述在所有情况下都是正确的：如果他们对既定路线采取了一次错误的转弯，则往往会完全迷失方向。即使距离他们居住的地方只有几英里，也会发生这种情况。
这种情况称为发育地形定向障碍(DTD)，无法在环境中定向。直到2009年，朱塞佩·伊亚里亚(Giuseppe Iaria)在《神经精神病学》杂志上报道了他的第一例病例后，它才正式取名。
在我意识到她患有终生学习障碍之前，Ellen Rose一直是我的患者。像其他患有DTD的人一样，她可以分段行走，但永远不会成为更大空间理解的一部分。那是因为她对自己的环境没有更大的空间了解。
我请她在与女儿和女son同住的房子的二楼画一张图。这对她来说是一项艰巨的任务(她住在一楼，但对二楼非常熟悉)。她将自己的努力描述为不是一只鸟从上方俯视，而是一只蜘蛛在纸上爬行，追踪从一个房间到艾伦的路线，一直想知道她出了什么问题。她知道，当其他人将自己的问题归因于根本不注意时，他们就错了。她担心自己的旅行问题可能是严重的征兆，而不仅仅是容易迷路，但我不知道那是什么。
得知她患有DID感到宽慰。知道某事有名字可以是一种解放的经历。突然之间，这是一个事物，一个具有定义特征的概念。在某种程度上，它是一种地图。

评论4 随着AI的发展，将会有一条出路。
评论5 人工智能正在变得越来越好
综上可以得到评论4和评论5是积极的态度，答案选D
【参考译文】
面罩是抵御COVID-19传播的最佳防御方法之一，但是其日益普及的使用具有第二种意想不到的效果：打破面部识别算法。
美国国家标准技术研究院(NIST)进行的一项研究发现，戴上口罩充分覆盖口和鼻会导致一些最广泛使用的面部识别算法的错误率上升到5%至50%之间。 。与蓝色面具相比，黑色面具更容易引起错误，并且面具遮盖的鼻子越多，算法发现它来识别面部的难度就越大。
报告的作者和NIST计算机科学家说：“我们需要了解人脸识别技术如何处理蒙面人脸。” “我们首先关注的是戴大口罩的受试者可能会对大流行病之前开发的算法产生影响。今年夏天晚些时候，我们计划测试考虑到戴面具的人故意开发的算法的准确性。 ”
诸如NIST测试的面部识别算法通过测量目标面部特征之间的距离来工作。遮罩会删除大部分这些功能，从而降低了这些算法的准确性，尽管有些功能仍然存在。这与面部识别在iPhone上的工作方式稍有不同，例如，iPhone使用深度传感器提供额外的安全性，从而确保不会通过向相机显示图片来欺骗算法(在NIST场景中不存在这种危险)关注于)。
评论1
好吧，这是摆脱大流行的一件好事。大规模监视是胡说八道。是时候将口罩与太阳镜配对以发挥决定性的作用了。
评论2
“戴上足以掩盖口鼻的口罩会导致一些最广泛使用的面部识别算法的错误率急剧上升”垃圾技术!我永远不会猜到。
评论3
某些国家已经在使用步态分析是有原因的。面部识别太容易被阻止或愚弄。
评论4
很快他们将要做...分析。随着AI的发展，将会有一条出路。
评论5
不过，人工智能正在变得越来越好，所以很快就没关系了。就像即使在CCTV录像中也可以挑选出亲戚或密友一样，人工智能也是如此。您的身高，步行步态，举止，声音，耳朵，衣服等，全都加在一起。

Benefits and Disadvantages of Online Learning
Nowadays, with the development of internet technology, there is a growing trend of online education. Whether adults or children, they are all willing to study through online education. My views on online education are as follows.
On one hand, I think that there are some advantages in online education. Firstly, the timetable of online education is flexible, and we can select appropriate study time. Secondly, it isn’t limited by space, so we can get online education everywhere, especially under the special circumstances of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. On the other hand, some disadvantages of online education are also obvious. First of all, it works under the condition of good network. If we are in a worse network place, we cannot study online smoothly. Then, online education restrains students from communicating with teachers face to face, and if we want to ask for teacher’s help, they cannot respond to us quickly.
In a word, every coin has two sides. We may as well make full use of merits of online education and avoid its demerits, so that we can gain what we need.
