Windows 8, apart from Windows 95, is the biggest surprise and the only version of Microsoft’s operating system that has been changed from the core（核心）when compared to its former one. However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.

Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.

Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.

New passwords—Instead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!

Windows 8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC’s and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.

However, there are still some disadvantages.

The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface（界面）introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.

28. What does “plus sides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?

A. Math symbols.

B. New rules.

C. Strengths.

D. Messages.

29. According to the text the greatest advantage of Windows 8 is its ______.

A. high speed

B. complex passwords

C. unique experience

D. new interface

30. From the text we can learn that Windows 8 ______.

A. no longer requires a password

B. can be used on more than computers

C. will be popular with desktop users

D. was upgraded from windows 95

31. Many Windows 8 users face the problem that ______.

A. Start Menu is hidden in the lower left corner

B. they don’t get accustomed to the new interface

C. keyboard and mouse can’t be used any longer

D. they have to use fingerprints instead of button

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.

"Can we write him a letter?"

She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."

My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.

"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.

"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.

She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.

"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."

The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.

Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, hang on, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.

32. When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother ______.

A. found it easy to lie

B. thought her a creative girl

C. believed it easy to do so

D. felt it hard to answer

33. When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father, she ______.

A. became excited

B. jumped with joy

C. started writing immediately

D. was worried that it couldn't be delivered

34. In the eyes of the author, what was the rain like?

A. An incurable disease.

B. An unforgettable memory.

C. The failures her father experienced.

D. The hard time her father had.

35. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. An unforgettable experience

B. Fly to paradise

C. The strong red balloon

D. A great father

根据短文内容,从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。

A strong memory depends on the health and vitality （活力）of your brain. They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true. 36

Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. 37

Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that do esn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.

Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 38

Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.

Have a laugh. 39 That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.

40 Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you don’t eat.

A. Eat a brain-boosting diet.

B. Play games with memory.

C. Laughter is the best medicine.

D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain.

E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!

F. You have to shake things up from time to time!

G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.

42．A．took B．put C．turned D．showed

43．A．number B．name C．help D．address

44．A．come B．hand C．give D．exist

45．A．job B．test C．phone D．desk

46．A．caught B．allowed C．troubled D．appreciated 47．A．proud B．doubtful C．sure D．angry

48．A．mention B．notice C．prevent D．punish

49．A．until B．before C．though D．because 50．A．clearer B．easier C．worse D．better

51．A．read B．sign C．do D．make

52．A．box B．book C．homework D．paper

53．A．believe B．receive C．see D．achieve

54．A．ignore B．dislike C．accept D．enjoy

55．A．secret B．idea C．world D．dream

56．A．time B．force C．money D．control

57．A．studying B．working C．going D．thinking 58．A．trouble B．worry C．fun D．improvement 59．A．good B．bad C．necessary D．useful

60．A．interested B．pleased C．annoyed D．s tuck

初三英语专题训练
