24、

① More and more teachers say the digital age has had a good and a not-so-good influence on the American teenagers. More than 2,000 high school teachers took an online survey. 75 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly good” use for their students' research habits and skills. But 87 percent agreed that these technologies “make the students not have enough attention.” And 64 percent said the technologies “do little to help them in courses.”

② The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is a voice director of the National Writing Project. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them become creative students of meaningful work, and not just that kind of copyist.

③ But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy. In other words, they trust too much of the information. Judy, Buchanan says these students, have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the online information is good or bad.

④ Another problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all, being-able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the ability of their students to work hard to find answers is becoming weaker. They say students depend too much on search engines (引擎) and do not make enough use of printed books or research, librarians.

⑤ Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities.

【1】What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?

A.Digital search tools are playing a key role.

B.Students don't know how to use the digital search tools.

C.Many teachers are worried about the students' abilities.

D.Digital tools bring about benefits and problems.

【2】How is the passage organized?

A. B.

C. D.

【3】The underline sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means _______________.

A.many students can’t understand how to use the digital knowledge well.

B.many students don’t have the right digital tools.

C.many students can’t find the information from the Internet.

D.many students don’t trust their university teachers.

【4】What is the next paragraph probably about?

A.Show an online survey from students. B.Show another benefit of digital tools.

C.Show the solutions to the problems. D.Show the names of digital tools.

25、For centuries, humans have wondered whether there is life on Mars. Why is Mars losing its air? Last week, the question was answered.

“The answer, is blowing in the wind,” said Michael Meyer. He is the lead scientist for Mars Exploration Program.

It turns out solar winds from the sun are slowly stripping( 除掉) away Mars' air. That is what scientists explained at a press conference.

Bruce Jakosky is the principal investigator on the MAVEN team. It is a spacecraft that collects information from Mars as it circles around the planet.

Today, Mars has a thin atmosphere. It is cold and dry. ______

"When we look at ancient Mars, we see a different type of surface. One that had valleys that looked like they were carved by water, lakes that were standing for a long period of time. We see an environment that was much more able to support liquid water."

Recently scientists found a kind of liquid water that flows with salt down a mountain area of the planet. But, it is not always there. Scientists already knew that ice exists on Mars. So why is it important to find liquid water?

"It means that we have a resource. And when we're looking at sending humans to Mars, water is one of the key things that we need to have. Not only for the astronauts to drink, but also to make oxygen and fuel."

Sending humans to Mars will be in the 2030s. Those chosen might fly any number of space vehicles still in development.

Human beings are developing rockets and spacecraft to get people to Mars. Scientists want to know how the human body reacts to being in space for long period of time.

Whether there is life on Mars remains unanswered. But some scientists think there might be some kind of microbial life on the planet. Finding life on another planet would change the way we view the whole universe.

【1】What was the surface of ancient Mars like?

A. It had thin air. B. It was dry.

C. It had valleys that looked like they were carved by water. D. It had no water.

【2】Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The surface of the Mars is different from it used to be.

B. Scientists have known whether there is life on Mars.

C. People can not send humans to Mars forever.

D. There is not any atmosphere on Mars.

【3】What does the underlined word "Those" in the text refer to?

A. Scientists B. Rockets C. Astronauts D. Vehicles

【4】Which of the following is the best for“______”in Paragraph 5?

A. But it used to be much different. B. It was the same case in the past.

C. It's always like this. D. It will be different in the future.

26、Assertiveness is the ability to confidently express your opinions, feelings, attitudes, and rights, in a way that doesn't infringe（侵犯）the rights of others.

Many of us are taught that it is not nice to consider our own needs above those of others. If someone says or does something that we don't like, we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.

Why is Assertiveness important?

If you don't know how to be assertive, you might experience:

Depression—Anger, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no control over your life.

Resentment—Anger at others for taking advantage of you.

Frustration —Why did I allow that to happen?

Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This makes perfect sense. It's a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with someone you love. But the more important the relationship is to you, the more important it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others！

But before you decide to act assertively, you have to decide if you can live with the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive response (积极的回应)，some people might react differently.

How to be effectively（有效地） assertive:

Use "I" statements. Keep the focus on the problem you're having. "I'd like to be able to tell my stories without interruption." instead of "You're always interrupting my stories!”

Use facts, not opinions. "Did you know that shirt has a hole?" instead of "You're not going out looking like THAT, are you?"

Express ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. "I get angry when he breaks his promises. "instead of "He makes me angry. "

Make clear and direct requirements. Don't invite the person to say no. "Will you please?" instead of "Would you mind…?" or "Why don't you…?"

Keep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don't try to explain yourself.

【1】The writer probably agrees that— .

A．assertive behavior will bring you bad feelings

B．you should be assertive if you want to get good marks

C．assertiveness is the ability to infringe others' rights

D．you should consider others' response before you act assertively

【2】The expression "hold your ground" probably means “ ”.

A．insist on your point

B．keep your word

C．reach an agreement

D．keep on fighting

【3】Which of the following helps you to be effectively assertive?

A．Explaining yourself in a soft and sweet voice.

B．Making requirements directly and clearly.

C．Using your opinions instead of facts.

D．Expressing ownership of others' thoughts.

27、I would like to talk to you about one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. I was born and raised there and now I visit it from time to time. My family moved to the city, so I only go back to see friends or to camp and fish.

I grew up in a small town called Antonito Co. It is surrounded by mountains. So camping is a big source of happiness in the valley. There are so many beautiful places to hike.

The town itself is very small. It is said that if you blink (眨眼) when you’re going through it, you’ll miss it. This has some truth in it considering the size of the town. We have one grocery store (杂货店), a tiny post office , and a tiny bank. There are also a few gas stations, bars, some excellent restaurants, a small hospital and of course several schools. However, for clothing and shoes, you have to drive thirty miles to Alamosa to shop there.

Everyone in the town is nice and we all know each other. The crime rate (率) is zero unless you count some weekend fights that break out because some people drink too much. The classes in school are small, so you get a lot of attention from the teacher.

You’re probably wondering why I don’t live there. Well, I can’t get a job there. A lot of the businesses are family-owned. And they never fire(解雇) their employees. So the employees work there usually until they retire(退休). Most people have to go to other places to get a job.

【1】What can you find in the writer’s hometown?

a. bank

b. a post office

c. some gas stations and bars

d. a clothing store

e. a shoe shop

f. some restaurants and a hospital

A. abce   B. bdef   C. abcf   D. cdef

【2】Which is the following statements is TRUE?

A. Teachers pay more attention to the students because they work hard.

B. It is great fun for the writer to go camping in the valley.

C. It’s common to see some drunken people in the writer’s hometown.

D. The writer moved to the city because he didn’t like his hometown.

【3】We can learn from the last paragraph t hat in the writer’s hometown .

A. not many job chances are provided

B. employees don’t make much money

C. most people live a very hard life

D. only the old still live there

28、   There once was a farmer who grew the best corn in his town. One day, his friend Scott asked him 【1】 he grew the best corn. The farmer told him that he often gave his good corn seeds (种子) to his 【2】.

“【3】 do you give your good seeds to your neighbors? They will compete 【4】 you!” Scott asked.

“Why?” the farmer laughed. “Don’t you know? The wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and 【5】 it from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn, the bad pollen will have bad influence on 【6】. My corn cannot improve 【7】 my neighbors’ corn improves.”

It is the same with our lives. Those 【8】 choose to live in peace must help their neighbors to live in peace. Those who choose to live well must help 【9】 to live well. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find 【10】, as the happiness of each has something to do with the happiness of all.

29、   I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people___________I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a _________ person.

I think my___________ started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my degree and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever _________ to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really _________ . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So I tried an experiment. I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble，I_________ to help. That was really a big___________for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of them are still my best friends today.

A bigger cause of my new attitude , however, came when I took a part-time job at Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had a serious disease became my ___________ . Every time I came into her room, she was so___________ because she thought I was her  daughter. Her real daughter never__________ her, so I took her place. She let me____________that making others feel good made me feel good too. When she died, I was heartbroken, but I was also very grateful to her.

I think I am a much__________ person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not  __________ these experiences. They have____________ me to care about other people more than about myself. I__________ who I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.
