    The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of old skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful--both in school and in life.
    Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology(心理学) at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children learn the skill of writing by hand.
    Berninger and her workmates carried out a study that looked at the ability of students to complete different writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, people wrote longer articles and more complete sentences.
    In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us get our vocabulary, word meaning and ideas. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
    Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols(标志) on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to notice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.
    “In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the choices given by the computer.”
    小题1:Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
    A．Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
    B．Spelling ability is closely tied to writing ability.
    C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
    D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
    小题2:What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean?
    A．Window.B．Emotion.
    C．Picture.D．Imagination.
    小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．Computers can help people with their choice of words.
    B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
    C．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
    D．Spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

    小题1:B
    小题2:D
    小题3:C

    When something becomes fashionable very quickly , we say that it’s a “craze”. The latest craze is sometimes a style of clothes or a hairstyle. Sometimes it is a game or a TV programme.
    In the 20th century a lot of crazes started in the USA and then became popular in the USA andthen became popular in other parts of the world. American youth culture has spread through tourism , TV , films, magazines and music videos.
    One of the biggest crazes was the hula hoop（呼啦圈）. Hula hoops are not popular now, but in the1950s they were a sensation.  An American company called Wham-O started to make plastic（塑料的）hoops toys, and in the USA the company sold 100 million hoops in a year.
    Frisbees（飞盘）were another Wham-O product（产品）. Some people say that the idea
    started in the factory of the Frisbee Baking Company in Connecticut. Workers there threw metal pans to each other during their breaks. Two businessmen made a plastic type of the flying pans,  and sold their products to Wham-O. They became a big business.
    So businesses usually help to produce a craze. Yoyos were another example. In the Philippines,  where its name means “comeback”, the yoyo was a popular toy in the 1920s. But it didn’t become a global (世界性的) craze until an American called Donald Duncan bought the idea and sold it to the world. Around 100 million people bought yoyos in 1962 and 1963.
    Most crazes come and go, but sometimes they survive. When the big skateboard started in California in 1965, many parents and governments said that the boards were dangerous, and they were not allowed in some areas. But the boards became popular again and they are still an important part of youth culture today.
    小题1:What is a “craze” ?
    A. A special culture in the western country.
    B. Something that is liked by the young.
    C. Something that first spreads in the USA.
    D. Something that becomes very popular over a short period (时期) of time.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “sensation” mean ?
    A．昂贵的物品
    B．值得珍藏的物品
    C．轰动一时的物品
    D．昙花一现的物品
    小题3:What fact does the passage provide ?
    A．All crazes in the world come and go quickly.
    B．Skateboards are not allowed in most areas of America.
    C．In the last century the USA introduced many new crazes.
    D．Crazes have nothing to do with culture.
    小题4: Which of the following can be chosen as the best title of the passage ?
    A．Something about Crazes

    "Chinese style road crossing" is a hot topic in China. Many cities have started to punish these jaywalkers.
    "Chinese style road crossing" means that you cross roads with lots of people and you don't think about traffic lights at all.
    Beijing government announced that people who do not wait for the green light to cross the road will receive a fine of 10 yuan. What’s more, using the diagonal to cross the road is also against the rules. Walkers should walk in an "L" shape. Besides Beijing, many places have also taken steps to stop "Chinese style road crossing". Provinces such as Sichuan, Shanxi and Zhejiang have already started to fine jaywalkers 5 to 50 yuan since last year. This punishment can call on people to realize the importance of traffic safety. However, many people complain that the red lights last too long. "Everyone should follow the rules, or the country will lose its order," said People Daily.
    Some cities have also paid attention to the problem. For example, Beijing government said it should not only punish these jaywalkers, but also improve road safety facilities, such as properly fixing traffic lights and building overpasses*. Anyhow safety must come first.

    Sports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school. Where do they get the money to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.
    Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students who work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not work at all. Instead of considering working after school a hindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.
    Other people think that work adds too much stress（压力）, which may be somewhat true, but whether having a job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules（日程表）in a controlled environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time. I personally would be worried about the teenager who has to become independent without having any experience of working.
    The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need to pay for and they cannot do it if they don’t have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you are going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a hard time in the future. Teens should, without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.
    小题1:The word “hindrance” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”.
    A．something that encourages teens to study
    B．something that helps teens improve study
    C．something that prevents teens from studying
    D．something that makes teens lose interest in study
    小题2:What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
    A．Teens are too busy with study to work at high school.
    B．Teens experience stress for the first time at high school.
    C．Teens are worried about being independent in the future.
    D．Teens who work will deal with stress better in the future.
    小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．Working makes teens get lower grades.
    B．Working teaches teens to spend money more wisely.
    C．Working helps teens to get on better with their parents.
    D．Working stops teens from taking part in after-school activities.
    小题4:What does the passage mainly talk about?
    A．What money means to teens.
    B．Why teens should work after school.
    C．Whether parents should help teens find jobs.
    D．How teens get money for after-school activities.

    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.”
    Judy Buchanan is a 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.
    But one problem the survey found is that many students don't have a good understanding of how to use the digital knowledge well. In other words, they trust(信任) 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.
    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.
    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.
    小题1:      of the teachers agreed technologies may stop students from having enough attention.
    A．50%B．64%C．75%D．87%
    小题2: How many problems are mentioned (提及) in the passage'?
    A．OneB．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
    小题3:Teachers like the digital search tools because they can        .
    A．make some of learning exciting
    B．help students find answers easily
    C．tell whether the information is good or not
    D．help students copy the work done by others
    小题4:What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage?
    A．Digital search tools have quite a lot of advantages.
    B．Students don't know how to use the digital search tools.
    C．Many teachers are worried about the students' abilities.
    D．Students should learn how to use the digital tools in a right way.

    Much has been said and written about heroes now, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they usually seem to have two things. First, heroes show their great power by actions. Second, heroes can be tested by the time. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.

    Olympic winner Jackie Joyner-Kersee tells young people to work hard. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has got success by working hard. She says that a hero should affect another person’s life.
    Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions, even though only in small ways.
    Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who appear on newspapers, but heroes are people who make history.” If a person is truly a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.
    We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect (尊重) people around us. Many times , the greatest heroes are the people we can see every day — our relatives, friends, and neighbours — who will never give up when facing difficulty. The parent who supports our family, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help students — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero sets a good example, an example that encourages others to follow.
    小题1:Joyner-Kersee hopes that young people ___________.
    A．will work hardB．will become heroes
    C．will follow herD．will achieve her goal
    小题2:The underlined word “celebrities” in Paragraph 4 means ___________.
    A．志愿者B．记者C．政客D．名人

    A．there are fewer heroes than before
    B．many common people set examples to us
    C．heroes should be polite, patient and famous
    D．heroes have to do some great things
    小题4:The best title for this passage is ___________.
