new for 30 days.The idea is actually pretty simple.Think about something youve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days.It turns out 30 days is just the right amount of time.Therere a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges.The first was the time was much more memorable.This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges,my self-recognition grew.I went from a desk-dwelling computer nerd (电脑迷）to the kind of guy who bikes to work.Even last year,I ended up hiking up Mt.Kilimanjaro.I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges.I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough,you can do anything for 30 days.Have you ever wanted to write a novel?Tens of thousands of people try to write their won 50,000-word novel in 30 days.It turns out that all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month.So I did.So

shot!24.The underlined sentence in Para.1 means .A.I felt my life was unchanged and boringB.I didnt like following others footstepsC.I thought that I was in troubleD.it seemed that my car broke

days.CLife in the Internet age is lonelyor is it?Thats what experts in human interaction are debating after a new Stanford University survey has been published.According to the study,the more time people spend online,the less they can spare for real-life relationships with family and friends.The researchers asked 113 people about the Webs influence on daily activities.36 of those people are online for more than five hours a week.”As Internet use becomes more widespread,it will have an increasingly isolating (孤立的) effect on society,”says Robert Kraut,one of the researchers.Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the “isolating” point.While 13 of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones,60 reported watching less TV.The survey also shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity,If some of webheads (网虫)spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via E-mails,“thats a move toward greater connectedness,”says Paul Resnick,a professor at the University of Michigan.This isnt the first claim that the Web should be criticized,A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families Net use for a year.People who used the Internet more “talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed.” says Robert Kraut.“Its true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades,but those declines began before the Internet was invented,” says Thomas Putnam.As Amitay Etzioni says,the Internet gives us a different kind of social lifenot better or worse than before,but just different.28.Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?A.Robert Kraut.B.Paul Resnick.C.Thomas Putnam.D.Amitay Etzioni.29.The underlined word “This” in Para.4 refers to .A.the study conducted by Stanford UniversityB.the survey made by the University of MichiganC.the conclusion in a report written in 1998D.the opinion expressed in Bowling Alone30.From the passage we learn that .A.watching TV used to take time away from staying onlineB.36 of web users spend more than five hours a week onlineC.the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effectD.the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions31.The passage mainly discusses .A.how we can make a better use of the InternetB.whether the Internet causes an isolating effectC.how declines in social connectedness appearD.what a different life the Internet brings to usDFood production does great harm to our environment.There are many procedures involved in the manufacture of food that result in greenhouse gases and other pollutants.Some procedures require the consumption of large amounts of fossil fuels,such as the transportation and storage of food products.Other factors that cause great damage to our environment include the overuse of fresh water.The production of beef is more damaging to the environment than that of any other food we consume,Raising large numbers of cattle requires the production of large amounts of food for the animals.Its estimated that producing one pound of beef requires seven pounds of feed.Land use is also a problem.If the cattle are free-range cattle,large areas of land are required for them to live on.This has led to disastrous forest cutting and the loss of rare plants and animal species,particularly in tropical rain forests in Central and South America.Another problem specific to beef production is methane emissions (甲烷排放).Although many people are aware of the damaging effects of carbon dioxide,they dont realize methanes global warming potential is 25 times worse,making it a more dire problem.Unfortunately,beef consumption is growing rapidly.This is the result of simple supply and demand factors.Specifically,there are two main causes of demand that are encouraging the production of more supply.First,the increase in the world population means there are more people to consume meat.The second factor is socioeconomic advancement.As citizens in developing nations become financially stable,they can afford to buy more meat.Therefore,one way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions is for people around the world to significantly cut down on the amount of beef they eat.32.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Raising free-range cattle is eco-friendly.B.People cut down trees for animal habitats.C.Producing beef can damage the environment.D.Carbon dioxide causes far more harm than methane.33.The underlined word “dire” in Para.4 means .A.urgent B.common C.typical D.avoidable34.Beef production is growing rapidly because .A.more people are in demand of beefB.developing countries raise more cattleC.more land is available to raise cattleD.the cost of raising cattle is relatively low35.The author writes this article to .A.describe the booming of the beef productionB.emphasize the advantages of beef productionC.condemn the deforestation of the rain forestD.argue for a decrease in beef consumption第2节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Case For and Against HomeworkHome work is typically defined as any tasks “assigned to students by school teachers that are meant to be carried out during nonschool hours”.Homework has been a constant topic of believed that homework helped create disciplined minds. 36 Since then,arguments for and against homework have continued to multiply.A number of studies have been conducted on homework.Two analyses by Cooper and colleagues are the most comprehensive.They concluded that the relationship between homework and student achievement was found to be positive. 37 38 The authors of How Homework Is Hurting Our Children and What We Can Do About It criticized both the quantity and quality of homework.They provided evidence that too much homework harms students health and family time.They insisted that teachers reduce the amount of homework and avoid homework over breaks and holidays.One of the more controversial issues in the homework debate is the amount of time students should spend on homework.Researchers have offered various recommendations. 39 Another question regarding homework is the extent to which schools should involve parents.Some studies have reported minimal positive effects or even negative effects for parental involvement. 40 Finally,assignments should cause students and their parents or other family members to become engaged in conversations and thus extend the students learning.A.Inappropriate homework may produce little or no benefit.B.Teachers are to blame for providing too much homework.C.Doing homework causes improved academic achievement.D.Although the research support for homework is powerful,the case against homework is popular.E.By 1940,growing concern that homework affected other home activities caused a reaction against it.F.Experts recommend parents receive clear rules and teachers do not expect parents to act as experts.G.For example,5 to 10 minutes per subject might be appropriate for 4th graders,while 30 to 60 minutes for high school students.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第1节
