26、

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.

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)

There’s no place like home

Some people dream of having a home ‘just like the ones in decorating magazines’. That sort of beautifully stylish home may be n【1】, but for a truly special place to live, why not choose a home unlike any other in the neighbourhood? The unique(独一无二的) houses on these pages challenge people to reconsider what a home is s【2】 to look like.

Environmentally friendly homes are getting a lot of a【3】 these days. Earthships, for example, are unusual homes made from materials like mud, straw and reused wood. The designers of earthships combine these natural materials with recycled i【4】, such as bottles, cans and old tyres. These homes show their belief that, when it comes to saving the environment, ‘if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.’

Additionally many of these homes use wind or solar power. They are designed to collect and recycle water, and the people who live in them often add a greenhouse in which to grow food. As a result, if you live in an earthship, your monthly living costs will d【5】 to almost zero. For people who want to try one out, the Phoenix Earthship in the US is available as holiday accommodation(住宿).

Shipping containers are now being reused to make a【6】 type of environmentally friendly home. A number of architects have started changing individual containers into holiday homes. Alternatively they can be combined to make office blocks and blocks of flats, such as those Container City in London, England.

With all of the examples of imaginative homes, it is clear that people no longer need to settle for ordinary living spaces. One thing is sure: people living in homes that look as s【7】 as these never have to give anyone their address. They can just say, ‘Look for the weird house. You will know it when you see it.’

She said that the whole world is getting dirtier and that many animals and plants are dying. She wants us to think of something we can do to help. I thought all the way, but there is _______ I can do to make difference.”

“Let me tell you a story,” the mother said after thinking for a while. “One morning a man was walking down a beach. There he saw thousands of dying starfish covering the beach. They were pushed up by the waves（波浪）, and it was too far up for them to make their way back by _______. The man shook his head as he walked along, ‘What a pity! So many starfish will die on the beach.’ The man felt very sorry for those starfish. He went on walking and just at that time he was _______ to find a boy in front who was throwing the starfish back into the sea as _______ he could. ‘How silly you are, my son!’ the man said. ‘There are so many starfish. Can you throw all of them back?’ The boy didn’t stop but kept throwing, ‘_______ I can’t help them all, I can make a difference to this one, and this one, and this one.’ ”

“Thinking for a moment, the man _______ to help return the starfish to their home. He smiled and said to himself, ‘Sometimes the biggest lesson in life comes from the ________ person.’ ”
