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、 It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded(全面的) and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read, and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important. Education is far more than we think.
【1】People with better education usually ________.
A.stay shorter time in school B.know more about jobs
C.have more chances to choose a good job D.prefer higher paying jobs
【2】The purpose of the earliest education was probably to ________.
A.make a man speak, read and write
B.make a man take an interest in the world
C.teach a man to develop his thinking and other abilities
D.make people get jobs
【3】If education is just like a way of making a living, what needn’t be done?
A.People don’t need to spend so much time in school.
B.People don’t need to learn all the subjects, including history and geography.
C.People don’t need to learn maths deeply.
D.All above.
【4】In the writer’s opinion, educated people are expected to ________.
A.accept education as a way of living
B.be able to take an interest in the world
C.make life simple
D.teach others to think
【5】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Education is mainly to let people make a good living.
B.Education helps find good jobs.
C.Educated people have creative thinking.
D.Education is far more than we think.
26、 It is believed that Huck Finn is based on a childhood friend of Mark Twain's. In fact, Twain was not alone in basing a fictional character on a real-life person.
Severus Snape/John Nettleship
Severus Snape is a skillful teacher teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J. K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.
The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling chemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. "I know I am a strict teacher," he said. "But I don't think I am as bad as Snape!" On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.
Alice/Alice Liddell
Famously, Lewis Carroll's Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell.
Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down. And the rest is history.
Dill/Truman Capote
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee based Dill on her childhood friend, Truman Capote. Capote once said, "Lee was my best friend. Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? I'm a character in that story! The story takes place just in the town where we lived!"
【1】Snape and Nettleship have something in common EXCEPT ________.
A.their jobs B.their looks C.their hobbies D.their characters
【2】What does the underlined word "ill-tempered" mean in Paragraph 3?
A.沉着冷静的 B.优柔寡断的 C.脾气暴躁的 D.幽默风趣的
【3】What made Carroll decide to create Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?
A.Alice Liddell's requirement. B.His great interest in rabbits.
C.His experience of travelling. D.His teacher's encouragement.
【4】Being a character of To Kill a Mockingbird, Truman Capote felt ________.
A.proud B.unsatisfied C.surprised D.nervous
【5】What does the text mainly tell us?

27、 We have heard a lot of stories about parents trying their best to save their children's lives, but today I will tell you a different story.
Lu Zikuan is an 11-year-old boy who studies at school in Huixian County, Henan Province. But he has taken up a task to save his father's life in an unexpected way—by eating as much as he possibly can. Maybe many people think the task is simple. But in fact, becoming fat isn't easy in such a short time.
The father is sick and in need of a bone marrow transplant( 骨髓移植), and the hospital will only do it if the donor(捐赠者) has a certain weight(45 kilograms). The doctor said that the heavier the weight is, the better it is.
Lu Zikuan is the only one that can match his father's bone marrow in the family. He is now gaining weight as quickly as possible to meet the requirement. Every day, he must eat a lot of food. It makes him always have a stomachache. “Even if it hurts, I'll still eat,” Lu said. “Our family couldn't bear(承受) the loss of my dad.”
He has ballooned(激增) to 48kg from 30kg since March, when the bone marrow from the boy successfully matched that of his father. His aim is to reach 50kg. And this was his wish on International Children's Day on June 1, 2019.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE about Lu Zikuan?
A.Lu Zikuan is an 11-year-old girl. B.Lu Zikuan is a college student.

29、 When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then.
