If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e﹣mail with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English．Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are"talking"online﹣many of them are talking at the same time．It's fast: trying talking to six people once．It's convenient: three or four words per exchange．It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers．And it requires very simple language．________ Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB （＝be right back） will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI （＝pardon me for jumping in）．Interested in whom you're talking to?

Teachers say that the digital（数字）age has had a good influence and a not﹣so﹣good influence on American teenagers． More than 2, 000 middle and high school teachers took an online survey． Researchers also spoke with teachers in some groups．Most teachers think the Internet and digital search tools have had a mostly positive influence on their students' research habits and skills． But at the same time, some teachers also point out some problems in teenagers' using digital search tools．The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the College Board and the National Writing Project． Judy Buchanan is the director of the National Writing Project and a co﹣writer of the report．She says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster． "Both teachers and students really welcome these tools because they make learning exciting． And the goal is to really help students become creators of something meaningful, and not just users of the online information．"But one problem the survey found is that these technologies make teenagers have short attention spans（持续时间）．As there is huge amount of information about different subjects on the Internet, teenagers' attention is easily drawn away from their research．Another problem the survey found is that many students trust the information they find on the Internet too much．Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills to judge the online information．They need to learn a lot to tell if the information is believable． It's something that really has to be paid attention to．One more problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online． Many students think "doing research" now means just doing a quick search on Google． Teachers say the result is a drop in the wish and ability of their students to work hard to find answers． That is, they are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians．Many teachers also say that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities．（1）The result of the survey shows________．A digital search tools need to be greatly improvedB digital search tools are generally good for teenagersC teenagers have difficulty in using digital searchtools D American teachers enjoy using digital search tools．（2）Using digital search tools makes teenagers________．A less trusting of online informationB more independent in doingresearch C more willing to work hard to find answers D less able to pay full attention while searching．（3）To do better in research， teenagers should________．A spend more time searching onlineB ask their teachers for more adviceC make better use of printed materialsD learn more knowledge of search tools．25. Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public． Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before． He hopes the public will listen and understand what he wants to teach them, and what he wants them to learn from liim．What visual（视觉的）artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colours, not words． They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colours, out of countless billions of, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us． Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colours, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist．Most artists take their shapes and colours from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices indicate（指示）that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights． Contemporary（当代的）artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it． Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects．If one painter chooses to paint a decaying（腐烂）leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world． Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something﹣all of which means that, consciously（有意识地）or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us．（1）An artist hopes that the public will________．A understand him and learn from himB notice only shapes and colours in hiswork C teach him something D believe what he says in his work．（2）It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because he/she________．A does not express himself/herself wellB uses unusual words and phrasesC uses shapes and colours instead of wordsD does not say anything clearly．（3）The writer points out that the contemporary artists might say their choices of subject________．A carry a message to the publicB only provide interesting patternC have no pattern or formD teach the public important truths．（4）What do you know from the passage？________A A painting is more easily understood than music．B Art is merely the arranging of shape and colours．C Every artist tries to say something consciously to thepublic． D One must look beyond shape and colour to find what the artist is saying．四、根据句意填空26. 词汇运用（1）I know that________ (win) hat is made of cotton.（2）His parents want him to be a great________ (music) when he grows up.（3）Our team’s________ (lose) of the last game made us very sad.（4）There are so many________(choose) and I don’t know which one to take.（5）Didn’t you find this thing was so________ (amaze) ?（6）These________ (cowboy) from the US all like rock music.（7）As we can’t all agree on this matter, let’s________ (投票）on it.（8）We hope the trainers have________ (真实生活的）experience.（9）Sandy blew hard to make the paint run in all________ (方向) .（10）Folk was first created in a________ (传统的) style, and has strong local color.（11）It’s________ (超过)my control to deal with everything.（12）The dogs are always rubbing against the wall and making________ (污迹).五、用所给单词的正确形式填空27. 动词填空（1）He said he ________ (go) climbing the next day.（2）We should have a discussion whether ________(travel) to Singapore or not.（3）Every time such a foolish mistake ________ (make), his father will get very angry.（4）Tom together with his classmates ________ (plan) to organize a day out when the bell rang.（5）Your hair is really long.

Good communication skills are key to success in life， work and relationships． Without effective（有效的） communication， a message can turn into error（错误），misunderstanding， or even disaster．Communication is the process by which we exchange information between people． To communicate well is to understand and to be understood． Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information．In today's highly informational and technological environment， it has become more important to have good communication skills． Here are some important steps to communicate effectively．Know what you want to say and why． Understand clearly the purpose of your message． Know to whom you are communicating and why．How will you say it？ We all know that it's not always what you say， but how you say it ，that matters． Begin by making every contact． You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak． Second， pay attention to your body language，since it can say so much more than your words． By standing with your arms easily at your side， you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say．Communication is a two﹣way street． After you have said what you have to say， stop and listen． Practise your listening skills． Be considerate of others are talking， listen carefully and never cut them off．七、完成句子29. 6小题，每小题1.5分，共（1）现如今一些人离乡打工，他们没有其它办法只好把孩子留在家。

People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.“I don’t sing,” said the man.But the lady told the waiter, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!”The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!He had talent he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.28.The lady asked the player to sing a song because .A.she had paid him for thisB. she knew him very wellC. she wanted to have a changeD. she enjoyed his singing29.Nat King Cole succeeded because .A.the lady helped him a lotB. he caught the chanceC. he continued to play in the barD. he stopped playing the piano30.The underlined words “sitting on” in the passage probably mean .A.fail to realizeB. forget to useC. try to developD. manage to showCIt’s in the 2010s.You feel sick, so you go to the doctor. She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks what you’ve been thinking about lately. When you leave, she gives you some medicine, but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily. She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness.Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people act in the way that they do, called psychologists (心理学家), are starting to believe it. You know that your brain (脑) is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system (神经系统). Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel can have an influence on the health of your body.Stress is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobody’s life is perfect. In fact, stress is necessary. Without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It can weaken your body’s protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can even make you more likely to have an accident.When you feel stressed, your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素). Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat. Today you have a different kind of stress. Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can’t fight or run away from, so you don’t use up all that adrenaline. It just stays bottled up inside you, and that’s what can do something bad to you.What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren’t under so much stress. You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can’t change a stressful situation. Sometimes you don’t even want to. A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful.The link (关联) between your body and brain works in two ways. Your body can help your mind deal with stress. If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body. It’s important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious (有营养的) meals. Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day. Another thing that you can do is daily exercise. If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym (体育馆), you give your body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline.

All you have to do is to send a few comets (彗星) in the direction of Earth, and its orbit (轨道) will be changed. Our world will then be sent moving into a safer older part of the solar system.This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US NASA (美国航空航天局) engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet—hopefully doubling its working life.The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid (小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy (重力势能) to Earth.“Earth’s orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the sun,” Laughlin said.Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter (木星) or Saturn(土星). The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated.In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to worldwide warming, although the team was actually worried about a much greater danger. The sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere (生物圈)—by cooking us.That’s why the group decided to try to save Earth.The plan has one or two worrying sides, however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation (误算) in orbit could fire it straight at Earth—with deadly results.There is also the question of the moon. As the present issue of Scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its present location, it is “most likely the moon would bestripped (剥离) away from Earth,” it states. This would greatly change our planet’s climate.34.What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?A.A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.B.Earth’s working life is coming to an end soon.C.Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.D.The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.35.If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of years.A.12 billionB. 6 billionC. 18 billionD. 24 billion36.What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?A.The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the moon.B.Earth might be moved too far away and man might die because of the coldness.C.The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.D.Earth’s working life might be greatly shortened.37.What does the underlined word “compromise” mean?A.provideB. benefit (受益)C. shareD. endanger第二卷主观题(共40 分)四、单词拼写(本大题共8 分，每小题1 分)(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。
