We live in a digital world now, and a student's technology needs have changed. For the early years, say when you are in primary school, you can get by with no technology at all. Even if you have a computer, it's a good idea to get children familiar with libraries. At this age, trips to the library are like family outings.

As you get closer to middle school, a computer with Internet access becomes more of a necessity. Teachers will often give assignments that require a student to use the Internet for research. After a computer, technology choices for students become more difficult to make – especially when it comes to cell-phones. Kids will beg their parents for a cell-phone, especially in middle school. For many parents, it's a safety issue: They want to know that their kids can reach them quickly if necessary. For teachers, cell phones can be used to record lessons when students are absent. But many teachers dislike cell-phones. Some kids send messages or have talks in the class. Sending messages also raises the problem of cheating on exams. More and more schools are now forbidding the use of cell-phones.

Many kids see iPods as necessary things to have. iPods are great for music, but do they do anything good for your children’s education? Maybe they do. That’s the opinion of Doug Johnson, an educator for 30 years. Johnson says that educators should accept all new forms of technology in the classroom, including iPods. “Some do more with their cell- phones than we can do with our laptops,” he jokes. “I don’t think we should be afraid. The truth is that it’s easier to change the way we teach than to change the technology habits of an entire generation.”

1. According to author, primary school children should___.

A. use the computer and the Internet regularly      B. ask their parents to buy them cell-phones

C. buy iPods to listen to music                  D. go to libraries to read more books

A. They want their children to be cool.

The earth's biosphere (the surface layer of the planet and the surrounding atmosphere) provides the land, air, water, and energy necessary to sustain life. This life-support system is a complex, interdependent one in which energy from the sun is changed into food for humans. The entire system depends on the sun, reasonably moderate temperature, and enough supplies of oxygen, pure water, and fertile soil.

Since the earth's creation millions of years ago, the ecosystem has worked as an interdependent system relatively undisturbed by outside forces. But recently, especially since the Industrial Revolution, human beings have begun to disturb the balance of nature. Natural resources have been severely depleted (消耗) (forests have been destroyed, fertile land worn away, water polluted, and minerals used up), and the life-support system of air, water, and land has been poisoned by a variety of waste products and chemicals.

The degree of these problems was noted in a report by the U.N. Developing Council on Environmental Quality. This report predicted that if present trends continue, the world will be more crowded and polluted and less stable ecologically and politically than the world we live in now.

The twin problems of resource shortages and pollution are caused by three social forces.  First, the tremendous increase in population growth constantly increases the demand for food, energy, and other products. As the current population continues to increase, the stress on an already overburdened environment will be increased．A second source of the problem is the concentration of people in urban areas, where the ecosystem simply cannot absorb their waste products. Finally, environmental problems are worsened as more and more nations move toward modem development: an increased reliance on modern technology. As these nations become more technological, they will consume more energy, deplete more natural resources, and create more waste products than the biosphere can absorb.

The life-support system is composed of _____.

       A．a(chǎn)ir, water and land   B．the earth, the sun and energy

       C．food, land and energy     D．food, energy and the sun

The life-support system _____.

       A．change energy from the sun into food for humans

       B．depends on the sun for enough supplies of air, water and land

       C．exists in the surface layer of the earth and the surrounding atmosphere

       D．is a complex but independent system

The life-support system has been badly damaged by _____.

       A．natural forces   B．human activities  C．social movements      D．political changes

The passage mainly talks about _____.

       A．the effects of Industrial Revolution on human beings

       B．the importance of life-support system to human beings

       C．the significance of balance of nature

       D．the destruction of life-support system and its causes

Section B
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context.
I have been told in China, having a pet, particularly a dog, is often considered to be a status symbol because it shows the family can   36   to have an animal. It is different here.
In Canada it is   37   for people to have pets. Many people have dogs. Many others have cats and there are people who keep fish, birds or rabbits. Some keep what we call exotic pets. These might be ferrets, snakes or almost any other animal you can think of, although keeping   38   pets is often difficult and because it can also be hard on the animal. The keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law.
Now, my wife and I live in a small town. We no longer have a   39   --- we live in an apartment. We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out   40   onto the balcony so cars are no longer an issue. She’s about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more. The   41   will come when she dies and we no longer have a pet. We have had a pet for so long it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the house it will seem somehow   42  . On the other hand, we are getting older and given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we will ever have another after Callie goes. Cats are cutest, of course, when they are small kittens but a kitten is   43   for a longer time than we may have left.
I think having a pet is very good for a number of reasons. It helps to teach children how to look after a   44   creature, makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that, in many ways, we depend on each other. For older people like me an animal is a   45   and a comfort to have around, a pet, properly treated, returns the favor by   46   unconditional love. Wouldn’t this world be a great place if people could learn how to do that.
36. A. buy                      B. afford            C. supply             D. provide
37. A. common               B. unusual            C. particular          D. public    
38. A. aboard                B. domestic           C. excited              D. exotic
39. A. dormitory            B. home                    C. family              D. house   
40. A. except                B. besides           C. except for          D. beside
41. A. demand                       B. dilemma            C. decision            D. matter
42. A. puzzled               B. confused              C. empty             D. alone
43. A. commitment           B. committee          C. friend               D. follower
44. A. lively                   B. alive             C. live                D. living
45. A. company               B. competitor         C. companion           D. co-worker
46. A. giving out             B. giving in          C. giving back       D. giving off  
47. A. bad                        B. great              C. messy             D. poor

讀寫任務(wù)（共1小題；滿分25分）

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。

Nowadays, we live in a global village, and many difficulties will arise if we can’t express ourselves fluently in English.

In spite of my awareness of its importance, I seldom find chances to practice and improve my oral English. So, I am still very weak with regard to this respect（方面）. One reason is that my pronunciation and intonation aren’t good enough. The other is that I am so shy that I am always too nervous to find other exact words to express my ideas and feelings. As a result the best way for me to do is to remain silent when others are practicing and making great progress in their oral English every day.

Now I am attaching much more importance to oral English and I have made up my mind to seize every opportunity to practice. I begin to participate in activities, such as going to “English Corners”, talking in English with my classmates and with native speakers. As the Chinese saying goes, “Nothing is difficult in the world if you really put your heart into it.” If I can build up my confidence, if I am not afraid of losing face any more, if I really work hard at it, I am sure my oral English will be excellent some day

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010-2011學(xué)年遼寧省丹東市四校協(xié)作體高三第二次聯(lián)合考試英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀理解

What does it mean to day that we live in world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam take priority（優(yōu)先）over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices.

  In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence what others believe and how they behave. We may not always prevail（占優(yōu)勢(shì)）--other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.

Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome approach to their lives or as a control. In contrast, we believe that persuasion is inevitable--to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be moral or immoral, selfless or selfish, inspiring or discouraging. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or make us hurt. Moral persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, an essential part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.

  Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is a need to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the basic principle of the American political system.

1.What’s the author’s attitude towards persuasion?

A．Critical.                             B．Uninterested.        C．Supportive.             D．Neutral.

2.The passage states that some people are against persuasion because they think it is       .

A．a(chǎn)n unwelcome influence                               B．difficult to do well

C．not trustworthy at all                                    D．never successful

3.We can conclude from the passage that persuasion means         .

A．getting people to act according to your will

B．exercising power over other people

C．making use of your past wise experience

D．getting other people to consider your reasonable points of view.

4.According to the passage, we can infer that            .

A．we can learn how to persuade in school

B．only society can benefit from persuasion

C．persuasion plays an important role in America

D．persuasion is considered to be an inborn ability
