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.

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. It describes the reasons people watch television.B. It reports the findings of a scientific study.C. It discusses ways to improve children’s physical health.D. It advises parents on raising their children.46. How did the researchers carry out the study?A. By reviewing children’s records online.B. By interviewing children’s parentsC. By watching children in their home.D. By asking children questions.47. Which problem linked with watching too much TV is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Poor concentration in schoolB. Bad eating habitsC. Getting angryD. Mental illness48. How can children improve mental health according to the passage?A. Limit TV and computer use to less than two hours a day.B. Get more physical exercise.C. Play more educational computer games.D. Go to bed earlier each night.CThe Dutch did not invent windmills(风车), but they put them to good use, drying flooded fields to create more farmland.Unlike history’s first windmills in Persia centuries ago, which were used to make flour, these windmills were pumping systems, bringing up water for families and farm animals from deep underground.In the U.S.A, windmills were introduced to desert lands around the railroads, which needed water along the tracks for the steam engines. 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. Who invented the first windmills?A. the DutchB. The PersiansC. The CaliforniansD. Turbine owners50. Windmills in the U.S.A were first used to .A. get waterB. dry fieldsC. create electricityD. make flour51. Why are wind turbines often built on mountain tops?A. The land is cheaperB. The air is cleanerC. The weather is betterD. The wind is steadier52. Which is mentioned as an advantage of wind power?A. Easy to createB. Requires no workersC. Good for environmentD. Better for citiesDAbout 1.5 million American children --- or 3 percent of the school-age population --- won’t be going anywhere as schools open for the new term.Before 1918, when Mississippi became last U.S. state to require that school—age children attend public or private schools, many children were taught by their parents at home or by teachers informally hired by the community. 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. One—room schoolhouses were once popular in city centers.54. 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. The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refers to .A. home—schooling parentsB. home—school childrenC. ideasD. other kids56. The main purpose of the passage is to .A. discuss why some people prefer home—schoolingB. point out the problems of home—schoolingC. show concerns about the social disabilities of home—schooled childrenD. encourage more parents to home—school their childrenE“Aw, isn’t it cute?”That, right there, is the well accepted response to any animal contact the world over. Animals are cute. They’re there to be photographed, loved, and occasionally fed. But you know what? Not all animals are cute, or lovely, or even nicer. Some of them are a real pain in the neck.When you travel, you come into contact with all sorts of animals you’ve never heard of before. Some of them are amazing creatures that you’ll talk about for the rest of y our life. Some of them are just annoying. So, at the risk of causing anger among animal lovers around the world, here are some of the world’s most annoying animalsVervet monkeys, South AfricaYou’ll immediately notice two things about Vervet monkeys they have a bright blue bottom; and they’ll steal any food that’s not locked in a bank safe. I recently spent some time in South Africa and watched as monkey after monkey dived in from the trees and stole everyone’s food. Get your own food, Vervet! My sandwich was expensive!Kea parrots, New ZealandI have never seen one of these birds before but from what I’ve been told they are more annoying than a spoilt kid. From biting the paint off your car doors to stealing people’s passports, Keas are probably the most c urious, and there fore annoying, animals in the world. And they’re New Zealanders. That makes sense!Kangaroos, AustraliaAnother well-known food-stealer, kangaroos are loved by tourists, eaten by Australians, and generally enjoy making trouble for others. Go on a camping trip anywhere in Australia, and watch how long your bags of food last. Turn your back for 15 minutes and the camp-will look like thieves have turned the place upside down.Grizzly bears, USAThey look pretty cute, grizzly bears. You almost want go up and give them a hug. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t end well. In fact, one of the world’s most huggable creatures is also the one most likely to kill you just because it can. Oh, and it’ll steal your picnic basket, too.( ) 57. Which of the following best describes the tone of the passage?A. HumorousB. AngryC. SadD. Frightening( ) 58.
