9、ns, it started small. But now thousands of children with autism (自闭症) are making friends and learning social skills by playing a special version of online building game Minecraft.Stuart Duncan got the idea through a popular blog he ran about his own experiences with autism as well as bringing up a s

10、on with autism. Other parents with autistic children started telling him that their kids were crazy about a game that let them explore a randomly generated wilderness. However, despite loving the game, many of the children were being bullied (霸凌) by other players.So, in 2013, Duncan, a web developer

11、 in Canada, set up a server to run a version of Minecraft only for children with autism and their families. He thought the invite-only server would attract 10 or 20 people, but hundreds requested to join in the first few days. Now, almost three years later, running the special version, Autcraft, is

12、his full-time job. The community has nearly 7000 members, along with a team of engineers to help manage its many activities. “Parents see such a benefit for themselves and their children,” says Duncan.In Minecraft, you use blocks of materials like wood and stone to build whatever you like. “This is

13、a great way for them to play a game they love, but also have a social experience,” says Kate Ringland from the University of California, who has spent 60 hours inside this virtual world, watching how the kids play and chat to one another. “Its giving an alternative way for these kids to express them

14、selves and communicate without the stresses of the physical life stuff.”Everyday social situations can be challenging for autistic children, who may struggle to pick up on social signals or understand another persons viewpoint. Duncan thinks Minecraft removes the pressures typical of the real world.

15、 There is no noisy or unfamiliar environment to distract (使分心) you, no pressure to track the other persons facial expressions or worry about eye contact. Joining a community like Autcraft could be a good first step to feeling less socially anxious and more engaged.24. What inspired Duncan to run Aut

18、s Minecraft So Famous?C. Why Do Online Games Benefit Children?D. How Does Autcraft Help Autistic Children?CIt is something one half ofthe population has long suspected and the other half always vocally denied women really do talk more than men. In fact, women talk almost three times as much as men,

19、with the average woman chalking up 20,000 words in a day 13,000 more than the average man.Women also speak more quickly, devote more brainpower to chit-chat, and actually enjoy hearing their own voices, a new book suggests. The book written by a female psychiatrist, Dr. Luan Brizendine says that inh

20、erent (生来就有的) differences between the male and female brain explain why women are naturally more talkative than men.In The Female Mind, Brizendine says the differences can be traced back to the womb (子宫), where the sex hormone (激素) called testosterone moulds the developing male brain. The areas resp

21、onsible for communication, emotion and memory are all reduced before a baby boy is born.The result is that boys and men chat less than their female peers and struggle to express their emotions to the same extent. “Women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion, while men have a small c

22、ountry road,” said Brizendine.There are, however, advantages of being the strong, silent type. Brizendine explains in her book that testosterone also reduces the size of the section of the brain involved in hearing allowing men to become “deaf” to the most logical arguments put forward by their wive

23、s and girlfriends.Other scientists, however, say many of the differences between the male and female personality can be explained by social conditioning, with a childs upbringing greatly influencing their character.Deborah Cameron, an Oxford University linguistics professor with a special interest i

24、n language and gender, said the amount we talk is influenced by who we are with and what we are doing. “If you look through a large number of studies you will find there is little difference between the amount men and women talk,” she added.28. Which claim does the book The Female Mind probably supp

25、ort?A. Women enjoy arguing.B. Women are born talkative.C. Women are great public speakers.D. Women take pride in their talents.29. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “moulds” in Paragraph 3?A. Influences. B. Stimulates. C. Enlarges. D. Harms.30. How are men affected by testosterone a

26、ccording to Dr. Brizendine?A. They have a small size of brain.B. They are not so logical in talking.C. They are usually less communicative.D. They are unwilling to listen to females.31. What message does Cameron carry in the last paragraph?A. Further studies need to be carried out.B. Gender seldom a

27、ffects ones talking style.C. The amount we talk shapes our character.D. Men talk as much as women on the whole.DThe time a person spends on different smartphone apps is enough to identify them from a larger group in more than one in three cases, say researchers.Researchers analyzed smartphone data f

28、rom 780 people. They fed 4,680 days of app usage data into statistical models. Each of these days was paired with one of the 780 users so that the models learned peoples daily app use patterns.The researchers then tested whether models could identify an individual when provided with only a single da

29、y of smartphone activity that was anonymous (匿名的). The models, which were trained on only six days of app usage data per person, could identify the correct person from a day of anonymous data one third ofthe time.That might not sound like much, but when the models predict who the data belonged to, i

30、t could also provide a list of the most to the least likely candidates. It was possible to view the top 10 most likely individuals that a specific day of data belonged to. Around 75% of the time, the correct user would be among the top 10 most likely candidates.In practical terms, a law enforcement

31、(执法机构) investigation seeking to identify a criminals new phone with these models could reduce a candidate pool of approximately 1,000 phones to 10 phones, with a 25% risk of missing them.Consequently, the researchers warn that software given access to a smartphones standard activity logging could ma

32、ke a reasonable prediction about a users identity even when they were logged-out of their account. An identification is possible without monitoring conversations or behaviors within apps themselves.Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that app usage data alone, which is often collected by a sma

33、rtphone automatically, can potentially reveal a persons identity. While providing new opportunities for law enforcement, it also poses risks to privacy ifthis type of data is misused.32. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To explain a phenomenon.B. To confirm an assumption.C. To show a research p

34、rocess.D. To present a research finding.33. How did the researchers reach their conclusion?A. By recording app use time.B. By studying app usage data.C. By comparing different apps.D. By changing app use patterns.34. What is the function ofthe statistical models?A. Locating criminals.B. Tracking usa

35、ge of apps.C. Identifying phone users.D. Predicting trends of apps.35. What is the authors attitude towards app usage data?A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D.
