You made several good points about the disadvantages of e-books. You may have overlooked, however, some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional booksYes，e-books are expensive, but they are also convenient. In addition, due to their environment-friendly nature, e-books have the potential to change our planet for the better E-books, for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term, are about the same size and shape as regular books. They have a large screen in the middle, however. This screen shows the reader a page of text that has been downloaded from a computerOnce the reader has finished reading the page on the e-book screen, he or she scrolls down to see a new page. The process continues until the entire book has been read As you pointed out, Mr. Slocum，its great to lie on a warm，sandy beach with a bookYou can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book. In fact, because e-books are so light, you can carry them anywhereSay，for example，that you like to read on the busWhich would you rather carry with you a heavy 800-page novel, or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces?Another important advantage is offered by e-books as wellThey are more environment friendly than traditional booksAt present，thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industrys demand for paperBooks that dont sell are eventually returned to the publisher and destroyedThis terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books，which require no paper.Sincerely， David Eng21. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?A. Who are the readers of e-books. B. Why e-books are popular.C. How e-books have developed. D. What an e-book is.22. In Davids letter, he thinks that . A. E-books will come down in priceB. E-books come in various sizes and shapesC. E-books do little harm to the environmentD. E-books are no better than traditional books23. The main purpose of the letter is to . A. provide evidence that e-books are a good choiceB. honor the person who invented e-booksC. scold publishers for wasting so much paperD. explain how to read e-booksBFour years ago，a lobster(龙虾)fisherman，Gary Nichols，had never seen a lionfish，but today his traps are full of themHe catches so many lionfish now that hes started to sell themWhile his lobsters sell for $16 per kilogram，lionfish only make him $12. Lionfish are causing a great concern on his business and the commercial fishing industry in Florida，threatening other fish populationsin some cases reducing them by up to 90 Lionfish are native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans，but were accidentally introduced into Atlantic and Caribbean waters during the 1990sWith no natural enemies in the Atlantic and an ability to reproduce year-round，plus the favorable environment，their numbers have been rising in recent yearsNot only are lionfish causing losses to lobster fishermen like Nichols，they are also threatening the balance of the fragile ecosystem“Lionfish are eating almost anything that fits in their mouths”says Lad Akins，director of REEF，a marine conservation group“Some are commercially valuable fishes，like grouper and snapper that the fishermen depend onLionfish even could result in the extinction of some fish”In an effort to solve the problem，REEF runs a monthly contest，awarding prizes to those who catch the most lionfishIt also runs workshops educating divers about safe collection and removal techniquesMany volunteers have also joined the fight with a campaign that encourages people to eat lionfish“If we cant beat them，lets eat them!” said Michelle Kosiek，the manager of the Fish House Encore，which has been serving lionfish for the past 18 months“There is a little bit of fear factor eating themIn fact，those who tried it have spoken well of it”24The story of Gary Nichols shows that _A1obsters are disappearing in the waters near FloridaBthe overpopulated lionfish are affecting Florida fishermenCit is hard for a fisherman to make a living by selling lobstersDlionfish have brought the Florida fishermens income down by 9025What factors contribute to the fast increase of the lionfish population?aThey are native to the Atlantic and Caribbean watersbThey have no natural enemies in AtlanticcThey are able to lay eggs non-stop every yeardThe waters in Florida are suitable for their existenceeSome people introduced them there on purposeAa，b，c Bb，c，d Cc，d，e Da，d，e26Lad Akins considers the non-native lionfish as _Aa new source of economic increaseBa positive promoter to the ecology of Florida watersCa disaster both commercially and ecologicallyDa chance to make Florida fish species diverse27In the fight against lionfish，Michelle Kosiek is helpful in _Aencouraging people to eat themBteaching divers removal techniquesCmaking a collection of lionfishDawarding prizes to lionfish catchersCThe longer a teenager spends using electronic devices such as computers and smart phones，the worse their sleep will be，a study of nearly 10，00016-to 19-year-olds suggestsMore than two hours of screen time after school was strongly linked to both delayed and shorter sleepAlmost all the teens from Norway said they used the devices shortly before going to bedMany said they often got less than five hours sleep a nightThe teens were asked questions about their sleep routine on weekdays and at weekends，as well as how much screen time they clocked up outside school hoursOn average，girls said they spent around five and a half hours a day watching TV or using computers，smart phones or other electronic devicesAnd boys spent slightly more time in front of a screen around six and a half hours a day on averagePlaying computer games was more popular among the boys，whereas girls were more likely to spend their time chatting online!Any type of screen use during the day and in the hour before bedtime appeared to disturb sleepmaking it more difficult for teenagers to nod offAnd the more hours they spent on these devices，the more disturbed their sleep became：When daytime screen use totaled four or more hours，teens had a 49greater risk of taking longer than an hour to fall asleepThese teens also tended to get less than five hours of sleep per night DrHysing said her findings had suggestions for the wider population as so many people use these devices“We know that sufficient sleep is essential for good physical and mental healthLogging off may be one important step toward securing a good nights sleep.”Prof Russell Foster, an expert the University of Oxford,said，“This is an important study as it provides practical evidence that the use of electronic devices before bed does indeed reduce sleep duration”He said teenagers should be warned of this28What is stressed in the first two paragraphs?ATeens now tend to have more problems with studiesBTeens get harder to fall asleep with more screen timeCTeens addicted to screen are likely to be more energeticDTeens sleep duration has nothing to do with their screen time29By asking questions，the study finds_.Aboys are more likely to chat online than girlsBgirls are more frequent on the screen than boysCteens are attracted by different electronic devicesDteens use the screen for the same purpose30What does the phrase “nod off” in the fourth paragraph mean?Ashut off Bget excited Cfocus on Dfall asleep31How does Prof Russell Foster feel the study?ABeneficial BUncaring CDoubtful DDissatisfiedDCassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husbands income. So this year she did something more than a hobby (业余爱好): She planted vegetables in her yard. For her fist garden, Ms Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The familys old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said,“The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds, too; so its a win-win situation all around.”They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list.George C. Ball Jr., owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year, double the average growth of the last five years. Mr. Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruit and vegetables. Food prices have increase because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there more time to garden.32. What does the word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. chickensB. tomatoesC. gardensD. people33. By saying “a win-win situation all around”，Ms. Gartin means that _. A. she is happier and her garden biggerB. she may spend less and lose weight C. she is selling more and buying lessD. she has grown more varieties of vegetables34. Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?A. More Americans are dong it for fun.B. The price of oil is lower than before.C. Theres a growing need for fruits.D. The cost of living is on the rise.35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Family Food PlanningB. Banking on GardeningC. A Belt-tightening MoveD.

I feel anxious to express my own opinion on this 44 . I know that Im just a high school student with very 45 experiences.
