influence and a not-so-good influence on this generation of american teenagers. more than 2,000 teachers took an online survey. three-quarters of the teachers said the internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly positive” effect on their students research habits and skills. but 64 percent said the technologies “do more to distract (使分心) students than to help them academically.” and 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an “easily distracted generation with short attention spans.”the pew internet project did the survey with the national writing project. judy buchanan is the vice director of the national writing project and a co-author of the report. ms. buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster. “teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging. young people favor these tools. the goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers.” but one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy. they trust too much of the information they find on the internet. judy says these students havent developed the skills to determine the quality of online information. “its something that really has to be taught and paid attention to. because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and analyze the information you have.” another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. they say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries. many teachers are also concerned that the internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.29. the text mainly tells us _.a. all the students use digital tools b. the internet is playing a key rolec. digital tools bring about benefits and problems d. teachers encourage using digital tools30. which of the following best shows the structure of the text?a. b. c. d. (=para 1, =para 2, =para 3, =para 4, =para 5)31. the underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means _. a. students do not have the right digital tools b. students cant judge online information properlyc. students havent the ability to adjust themselvesd. students do not always have access to the internet32. some students dont tend to work hard because _. a. they can copy each others work without being punished b. printed books and libraries around arent enough c. the internet cant make students concentrated. they can get answers on the internet quicklydwe all know what a brain is. a doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head. it controls our bodys functions, movements, emotions and thoughts. but a brain can mean so much more.a brain can also simply be a smart person, if a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent. if a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, shes the brains in the family. and if you are the brains behind something you are responsible for developing or organizing something. for example, bill gates is the brains behind microsoft.brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. word experts say the phrase brain trust became popular when franklin d. roosevelt first ran for president in 1932, several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the us. these professors were called his brain trust. these ways we use the word brain all make sense. but other ways we use the word are not so easy to understand. for example, to understand the next brain expression, you first need to know the word “drain. as a verb to drain means to remove something by letting it flow away. so a brain drain may sound like a disease where the brain flows out the ears. but, brain drain is when a countrys most educated people leave their countries to live in another. the brains are, sort of, draining out of the country.however, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it. here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. it is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic. for example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems. if people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. to brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way. keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.33. according to the text, if youre the ceo of bai du you can be called a. the organ of bai du b. bai dus brain trust c. the brain drain of bai du d. the brains behind bai du34. why did roosevelt successfully win the election? a. because he was smart at giving advice. b. because word experts were popular. c. because he got his brain trust. d. because he was the brains behind america.35. which of the following expression is always used in a negative way? a. brain trust b. brain drain c. brainwash d. brainstorm第二节 (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。if you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. often achieving what you plan to do isnt the important thing. 36 two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. while they were working, a few older boys stopped by to watch. “what are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “we plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers volunteered excitedly. the older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. after a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide variety of insects. 37 then he said quietly and confidently, “even if we dont.” 38 and that is what a goal is for to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to have us digging!but not every goal will be fully achieved. not every job will end successfully. not every relationship will endure. not every hope will come to pass. not every love will last. 39 so when you fail to reach your aim, perhaps you can say, “yes, but look at what i found along the way! look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because i tried to do something !” it is in the digging that life is lived. 40 a. he broke the jar into pieces.b. he opened the jar and showed the wonderful things contained in it to the laughing visitors.c. let me explain.d. not every dream will come true.e. their goal was far too high, but it did cause them to dig.f. here are some reasons for you.g. and i believe in the end it is joy in the journey that truly matters. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。footracing(竞走) is a popular activity in the united states. it is not only seen as a compe- titive sport, but also as a 41 to exercise. though 42 runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers 43 not train at all. 44 not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time, or 45 to enjoy the fun and exercise. people of all 46 , from those less than one year old to those in their 80s, 47 into this sport. the races are held on city streets, on college campuses, 48 parks, and in suburban areas, and commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in 49 . the largest footrace in the world is the 12-kilometer bay to breakers 50 that is held in san francisco every spring. this race 51 on the east side of the city near san francisco bay and ends on the 52 side at the pacific ocean. in 1993 there were 80,000 people 53 in this race through the streets and hills of san francisco. in the 54 are the serious runners who compete to win, and 55 might finish in as little as 34 minutes. behind them 56 the thousands who take several hours to finish. in the back of the race are those who wear various clothing just for 57 . there was a group of firefighters who were all 58 in a long line and were carrying a firehose(消防水龙带). one year there was a wedding 59 , in which the bride dressed in a long white gown and the groom wore a tuxedo(晚礼服). they 60 flowers to by-standers, and were actually married at some point along the route.41. a. plan b. design c. way d. approach42. a. serious b. amateur c. famous d. ordinary43. a. must b. might c. could d. should44. a. others b. these c. those d. ones45. a. simply b. finally c. partly d. certainly46. a. walks b. ages c. sorts d. nations47. a. turn b. enter c. break d. look48. a. across b. over c. through d. on49. a. size b. length c. depth d. height50. a. ground b. city c. race d. ceremony51. a. holds b. goes c. begins d. carries52. a. north b. west c. east d. south53. a. singing b. helping c. watching d. running54. a. beginning b. course c. front d. process55. a. who b. what c. which d. as56. a. stay b. are c. fall d. is57. a. medal b. fun c. win d. prize58. a. wrapped b. followed c. separated d. tied 59. a. party b. dinner c. day d. invitation60. a. threw b. presented c. sold d. donated第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。as we all
