BLast week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan declared war on paper textbooks. “Over the next few years,” he said in a speech at the National Press Club, “textbooks should be abandoned.” In their place would come a variety of digital-learning technologies, like e-readers and multi-media websites.Such technologies certainly have their place. But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a fire to a tried-and-true technologygood old paperthat has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet. And while e-readers and multi-media websites may seem appealing, the idea of replacing an effective learning platform with a widely hyped (炒作) but still unproven one is extremely dangerous.An expert on reading, Maryanne Wolf, has recently begun studying the effects of digital reading on learning, and so far the results are mixed. She worries that Internet reading, in particular, could be such a source of distractions(分散注意力) for students that they may cancel out most other potential benefits of a Web-linked, e-learning environment and while its true that the high-tech industry has sponsored substantial amounts of research on the potential benefits of Web-based learning, not enough time has passed for longitudinal(纵向的) studies to demonstrate the full effects.In addition, digital-reading advocates claim that lightweight e-books benefit students backs and save schools money. But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem, and the shocking costs to outfit every student with an e-reader, provide technical support and pay for regular software updates promise to make the e-textbook a very pricey choice.As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history, I cant help but wonder what parallels exist between my own field and this sudden, wholesale abandonment of the technology of paper.24.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Multi-media websites and good old paper are kinds of digital-learning technologies. B. Digital learning technologies will replace the paper textbooks sooner or later. C. E-readers and multi-media websites are learning methods that are proved effective. D. A tried-and-true technology is paper textbooks, long used in educational system.25. What is the drawback of paper textbooks according to the passage? A. Their weight.B. Their price.C. Their content.D. Their appearance.26. What worries Maryanne Wolf is that _. A. paper learning can provide more potential benefits B. students may not focus on learning by digital reading C. digital reading cant provide potential benefits for users D. the results of digital reading effects are understandable27.What is the authors attitude towards digital-learning? A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Positive.D. Objective.CRather than rolling your eyes when its your turn to bow your head and give thanks, try being grateful. The result just might be good for you, from improving your feeling to your relationships. If you dont want to voice your gratitude, writing a letter may work, according to various studies by Steve Toepfer of Kent State University and his colleagues.Toepfer and his colleagues had 219 students with an average age of 25 fill out questionnaires（问卷）to measure their happiness. They returned to the lab to fill out the survey three more times, with each visit about a week apart. Some of the students wrote a letter of gratitude each time they returned to the lab, while the control group didnt write about being thankful.“The letter writers were instructed to write a letter of gratitude to anyone they wanted, however, the letter couldnt be athank younote for a gift,” Toepfer said. “The participants had to write about something that was important to them.”The results showed that their levels of happiness and life satisfaction improved after each letter they wrote. In addition, depressive symptoms decreased over time with the letter writing.Gratitude doesnt just cheer you upit can improve your health and energy levels as well. A 2007 study conducted by researchers found that organ-transplant(器官移植) receivers who kept “gratitude journals” listing five things or people that they were grateful for each day scored better on measures of general health, and mental health than those who only made routine notes about their days.A successful relationship may depend on your gratitude. Research reported in 2011 looking at more than 65 couples who were in satisfying relationships showed that each couples relationship quality corresponded with one partners feelings of gratitude. Researchers show that one partner expressed feelings of gratitude; both partners experienced a positive emotional response.28. According to the passage, if you want to get along well with others, youd better_.A. write letters to them frequently B. pay more attention to their feelingsC. show your thanks from time to timeD. take care of them when they are in need29. The underlined phrase “the control group” in Paragraph 2 refers to the group that _.A. is cold to others kindnessB. is not good at writing lettersC. is unwilling to express their feelingsD. is not allowed to write thank-you letters30. From the passage we can infer that people who often show gratitude are less likely to be _.A. nervousB. carelessC. depressedD. optimistic31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Why you should be gratefulB. Ways of changing your feelingC. How to show your gratitude to othersD. Thank-you letters role to human relationsDTiny tubes and filaments( 丝状物 )in some Canadian rock appear to be the oldest known fossils, giving new support for some ideas about how life began, a new study says.The features(特征)are mineralized remains of what appear to be bacteria that lived some 3. 77 billion to 4. 28 billion years ago. the scientist said. That would be older than some other rock features found in Greenland, which were considered to be the fossils last August.The new results come from examining rock found along the eastern shore of Hudson Bay in Northern Quebec. The filaments and tubes, made up be， made up of iron oxide called hematite（赤铁矿）， appeared within a rock type called jasper（碧玉）.Matthew Dodd of University College London, an author of the study published Wednesday by nature, said the living things lived in the seafloor where water was heated by a volcano. Since the fossils are nearly as old as Earth, which formed some 4. 5 billion years ago, the finding supports previous indications that life may have begun in such an environment, he said.He and his colleagues presented several lines of evidence to support the idea that tiny tubes and filaments are signatures of past life. But two experts whove previously reported similar findings said they are not convinced.“I would say they are not fossils, Martin J. Van Kranendonk of the University of New South Wales in Australia, who reported the Greenland findings last year, wrote in an email. The papers evidence for a biological origin falls short, he said.Abigail Allwood, a NASA geologist, said the authors have produced one of the most detailed cases yet made for evidence of life in rocks older than 3. 5 billion years. But Its an extraordinary claim to make and you do need extraordinary evidence, she said32. What do Matthew, Martin and Abigail have in common?A. They have been studying rock featuresB. They are working in the same university.C, They all made a contribution to the Greenland findings.D. They have discovered the oldest known fossils in the same place33. How does Martin feel about the new study?A. It confirms the biological origin B. It ignores the Greenland Findings.C. It needs more to convince people D Its authors takes ideas and words from his34. Whats Abigail Allwoods attitude toward Matthews findings?A. Supporting. B. Disapproving. C. Indifferent D. Neutral35. The new findings can make people know something about_A. the process of fossil formation B. how life started on the earthC. how to examine rock and find fossils D. how the earth formed about 4. 5 billion years ago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。Have you ever imagined the benefits that a good memory can bring to you? 36 .Here are four ways to improve your memory.37 There is evidence that sleep plays a vital role in the consolidation( 巩固) of memories relating to learning motor skills, such as learning to play a musical instrument or ride a bike. Having a full nights sleep soon after gaining a new skill helps consolidate the processes involved, so they can later be performed well.It s rewarding to continue education. Older people are often told to adopt a use it or lose it approach to maintaining cognitive (认知的 )function. 38 In a 2016 study, US researchers found participants aged 60-90 who spent 15 hours a week for three months learning a complex skill, such as digital photography, saw significant improvements in memory tests.Taking a break counts. 39 More than a century ago, German scientists showed that people performed almost twice as well in memory tests if they took breaks.Its useful to stay social. Having an active social life delays memory loss as we age. US scientists who asked people in their 50s and 60s to do memory tests every other year between 2001 and 2007 found the decline in recall abilities of their most sociable subjects to be half that of the least well connected. 40 A . Sleeping well helps strengthen memoriesB. Old people should participate in easy activitiesC. Yoga, meditation or other relaxation techniques may help.D. Memories can be destroyed if the brain doesnt have enough rests to sharpen them.E. In fact, when it comes to memory, research suggests that only certain types of mental activities help.F. Being able to remember important pieces of information can give you a powerful advantage in your lifeG. Having good friends, volunteering for charities and other forms of social engagement also protect memory.第三部分：语言知识运用（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）My mother has spent the past 9 years working with Special Olympics.
