第二节读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）Blogging has become increasingly popular among m iddle school students. Some view it as a great way to share ideas and motivate students, while others fear it will interfere with students’ study.There are arguments both for and against student-blogging. O n the negative side, if students blog too frequently it may interfere with their study. And if the y are completely unsupervised, some inappropriate topics may be discussed. On the other hand, blogging allows students the chance to write about the things that ar e most important to them. Because they are interested in those topics, they will be more motiva ted to write, thus practicing their skills. It will also give the blog-readers the chance to practice their reading skills, too. Furthermore, blog-based discussions will help to develop students’ ability to think independently and communicate with others. For these reasons, I am generally a big supporter of student-blogging. Of course, there have to be some limits such as parents monitoring their children to make sure they don’t spend too much time on it and the subje cts discussed are suitable.。

Then something caught my eye --- a large shark fin heading towards my brother. I shouted to the guys in the boat to get Taariq out and I tried to draw the shark’s attention away from my brother by hitting the water. It worked. But now the shark was swimming towards me.As the three-meter “great white” circled me, I tried to push it away with my feet. But that only make it angry. It swung its body round, making a huge splash.I tried desperately to swim away, but my right leg wouldn’t move. I looked down and saw why: everything below my knee was in the shark’s mouth. It was like a dog with a bone, shaking me violently.I screamed to the guys in the boat for help as the shark took me underwater, still shaking me with my leg in its mouth. I was running out of my breath and my lungs felt as if they were on fire.Then I got so angry, I thought, “I’m not going down without a fight.”I started attacking the shark with all my remaining strength, grabbing its eye and punching its nose.I gave one last enormous push and heard a great snapping sound. Suddenly, I was free. When I broke the water surface I was close to blacking out.The boat was nearer now, and Taariq grabbed my hand and started pulling me out. He held my injured leg, trying to stop the bleeding. I didn’t know it, but halfway down my leg there was nothing left.After I left the hospital, I felt angry about what had happened to me at first. But my brother told me not to give up on life. I followed his advice and less than two years later I was chosen to attend the 2008 Beijing Paralympics(残运会).41. The writer started hitting the water in order to .A. tell his brother a shark was comingB. ask the people on the boat for helpC. show the shark he wasn’t afraid.D. get the shark to swim away from his brother.42.

CarelessBChildren who spend more than two hours a day at a computer or watching television are more likely than others to have mental problems, scientists say.Researchers found that 11-year-olds who spent several hours in front of a screen each day did worse on mental health tests, no matter how much physical exercise they got.The study found no direct evidence that sitting in front of a screen actually causes mental health problems. Instead, it suggests that children with difficulties, such as extreme shyness, are more likely to choose TV or computer games than sociable activities.In the study, children were asked whether they agreed, disagreed or somewhat agree with a list of statements, including, “I generally play alone or keep to myself” and, “I am often unhappy or tearful”. They were also asked how much exercise they took and how long they spent at a TV or computer screen.According to the study, children who spent more than two hours a day at a screen had a 60% higher risk of mental problems than children who spent fewer viewing hours. The risk was only slightly higher in children who did little or no exercise.“Physical activity is good for health in many ways, but it can’t make up for long hours of screen viewing. Parents should consider limiting their children’s screen viewing to no more than 2 hours a day,” said the study organizer, Angie Page.Previous studies have raised concerns that watching too much television can affect children’s behaviour in later life. A Canadian study found that those who watched most TV as young children performed worse at school, ate more junk food and had more trouble concentrating.45. What is the passage mainly about?A.

Farmers quickly borrowed the idea and bought a lot of windmills.These days, you can see hundreds of wind turbines(漩涡机) on top of some Californian mountains, where the wind always --- or at least most of the time --- steadily blows.A collection of 3,300 wind turbines on one Californian mountain draws enough energy to supply the power needs of a whole city.While windmills drove water pumps, wind turbines make electricity that goes directly into the electric system. Electricity companies have discovered the same strengths of wind power that farmers learned a century ago: the wind is a wonderful, non-polluting energy source.You never run out of it, and the price cannot be beat.49.

Quite often in the countryside, kids of all ages were taught in the same one—room schoolhouse. Many years later in the 1980s, home—schooling made a comeback when very religious parents persuaded the government to approve the teaching of children at home.Home—schooling is popular with many parents because they believe that children get their moral values from the people with whom they spent the most time.Adults who choose to stay home and teach their children often don’t agree with standardized testing, grouping students by age rather than ability, and passing them ahead to the next grade whether or not they’ve grasped the material.In home—schooling households, it’s not unusual to find several children, ages 4 to 16, being taught together. Older kids help younger ones, as they once did in those one—room schoolhouses.Critics point to home teachers’ lack of experience and qualifications. And they argue that pulling kids out of school may stop them developing social skills.But home—schooling parents don’t think their children are separate d from other kids and become bookish. They are, the parents say, simply hard workers who go to church meeting, play sports, and shop at malls right alongside their friends who go to school.53. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. There are about 5 million school—age children in the US nowadays.B. Until 1918, school—age children were all taught by their parents at home.C. In the 1980s, home—schooling came back because of religious reasons.D.

Home—schooling parents most probably agree that .A. standardized testing is a good way to judge students’ abilityB. students should be passed ahead to the next grade without any testC. children get their moral values from people they spend the most time withD. home—schooled children learn better with their brothers and sisters55.
