So the question appears, can blogs and bloggers take the place of professional journalists(专业记者) and newspapers? The answer is no. Blogs can’t replace papers or news websites. But bloggers can help withthe work of reporters. Let’s deal with the reasons why blogs can’t replace newspapers.News storiesIn fact, most bloggers don’t produce news stories on their own. Instead, they talk about news stories already out there—stories produced by journalists found on professional news websites. So if newspapers and news websites disappear, what will bloggers have to write about?Opinions vs. ReportingAnother reason is that most blogs are the opinions of the bloggers. But their opinions are very different from news reporting. Although opinions are fine, the publicfor real information won’t be satisfied with blogs that do little more than just show opinions.SkillsMany reporters, especially those at the largest news organizations, have followed their beats for years. So w hether it’s a Washington officer writing about White House politics(政治), or a long-time sports columnist(专栏作家) covering the latest sports events, they can write technically because they know the subject.1.___________2. ___________3. ___________4. ___________5. ___________6. ___________7. ___________8. ___________9. ___________ 10. ___________六、首字母填空（10）At some time in your life，you might have a roommate．It is a good idea to share a flat，especially for students or people who h___1____ just finished school，because flats are usually expensive．And m 2 is not the only reason for having a roommate．S___3____ a flat can be fun．But life with a roommate can also be a t 4 experience．Some experts(专家)did a study of college students who shared a room．They found that students w__5____ had problems with their roommates were not happy at school and were more likely t o get sick than other students．So，how can you l 6 with a roommate and enjoy it?

There are more insects than any other kind of animals. Some insects such as locusts (蝗虫) eat crops. They are farmer’s enemies (敌人). We all know there are other animals that eat insects too. They are farmer’s friends. The dragonfly is one of them.Many people are afraid of dragonflies though they are friendly insects. A dragonfly can help to kill flying insects, especially mosquitoes. A dragonfly may have as many as one hundred mosquitoes in its mouth at a time. Some dragonflies eat while flying, but others like to come down to the ground before eating their meals.The dragonfly cannot walk, because all its legs are at the very front of its body. It has two pairs of strong wings. The dragonfly is one of the fastest insects in the world. The dragonfly can see very well. It can see a moving insect far away, but the life of a dragonfly is short. It can’t live in the cold weather.31．We know from the passage that ________ are farmer’s enemies.A．dragonflies B．locusts C．birds D．fish32．________ are friendly insects, and usually eat mosquitoes.A．Locusts B．Butterflies C．Bees D．Dragonflies33．A dragonfly may have ________ mosquitoes in its mouth at a time.A．twenty B．a thousand C．eighty D．a hundred 34．Dragonflies can’t walk because ________.A．they don’t have so many legs B．they have four legs each C．their legs are very weak D．their legs are at the very front of their bodies35．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Dragonflies are not fast insects.B．Dragonflies can’t see well in the daytime.C．Dragonflies can see flying insects far away.D．Dragonflies have a pair of strong wings.What do pandas, tigers, whales, lions and wild camels have in common (共同的)? They are all endangered (濒临灭绝的). Here are the reasons.Hunting: For centuries, people hunted elephants for their tusks, killed tigers for their fur,and caught many other animals for their meat.Foreign animals: In 1505, some people discovered a beautiful island named Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. People brought dogs, pigs, monkeys and rats with them, but this was bad news for dodo birds. The birds did not have natural enemies (天敌) before. They ate fruit that fell from trees and built their house on the ground. But when people came, dodo birds were in big trouble—men killed them for their meat, and the new animals broke their homes and ate their eggs.The number of dodo birds became smaller and smaller and finally extinct. The last dodo bird was killed in 1681.Loss of living space: People cut down forests for farming and building houses. People build dams (水坝) to make sure they have enough water.While we make our lives comfortable, other animals have less and less space.36．Pandas, tigers, whales, lions and camels are all ________ according to (依据) passage.A．dangerous animalsB．endangered animalsC．useful animalsD．animals living everywhere37．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Dodo birds lived on Mauritius.B．Dodo birds became extinct in 1681.C．Dodo birds didn’t have natural enemies before 1505.D．Natural enemies killed the last dodo bird in 1681.38．The underlined word means “________” in Chinese.A．死亡的B．减少的C．再生的D．灭绝的39．Which of the following is NOT a reason why the animals are endangered?A．Animals have less and less living space.B．People kill many animals.C．Some animals killed themselves.D．People and some animals break the endangered animals’ homes.40．This passage mainly tells us ________.A．why some animals are endangeredB．how to save endangered animalsC．that we must stop hunting to protect wild animalsD．what life is like for animalsPeter wondered why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was that he was always taking, never giving.One day Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday. I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too. ”“Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come. ”“Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us. ”That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next, he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery. ”Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving, they said “Thank you. ”to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work.

There I saw a special crab (螃蟹). It had two claws (螯). One claw was much bigger and longer than the other. I had never seen such a crab before. So on my way home from the beach, I walked into the library.Luckily, I found a book named Come with Me to the Edge of the Sea. It had many pictures of animals living near the sea. The pictures of male fiddler crabs (雄性招潮蟹) looked quite like the crab I found on the beach. I learned a lot about that kind of crab.Sometimes a fiddler crab puts the small claw across the big one. It looks like it is playing the fiddle (violin) when it does this, so some people call it the fiddler crab. Sometimes it waves (挥动) its big claw. It looks like it is saying hello. That’s why other people call it the calling crab. Fiddler crabs’ eyes are on long eye stalks (眼柄). They can put up their eye stalks to look around. It makes them look taller.These crabs are very small. There are lots of other, bigger beach animals that want to eat them. They dig holes in the sand (在沙子里挖洞). The holes are their homes. They are safe inside them. Sometimes the sea water can bring food into their holes.回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词：61．What was the difference of two claws of the crab the writer saw?62．How did the writer find out the crab’s name?63．What’s another name for the fiddler crab?64．When do fiddler crabs look taller?65．Where do fiddler crabs live?六、短文填空短文首字母填空Animals are man’s friends, but many people don’t treat them as friends.

You can’t see them, but they are on your desk, on your computer, and even in the air!Like people, germs move around the world. They fly with us on planes. When food, clothes, and other things travel around the world, germs travel, too. Some germs are safe, but some are dangerous. Germs cause illnesses like colds and the flu.Warmer Weather Brings GermsThe world’s weather is changing. Cooler countries are getting warmer, so insects from hot countries can move there. Some of these insects, like mosquitoes, carry dangerous germs. These germs cause headaches, fever, and can even kill people.Under Your SkinYour skin protects you from germs. It stops some germs, but not all. They can enter your body when you eat, or when you have a cut. Germs are on your hands, too. They enter your body when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.Fighting GermsYour immune system(免疫系统) protects you, too. When germs get inside your body, your immune system finds and kills them. Special cells(细胞) move around your body and fight germs. They help you stay healthy. Other cells make antibodies. Antibodies help your body find and stop germs.What can you do to fight germs? You should wash your hands with soap and water. Soap kills many germs, and water washes them away.（）1. According to the text, insects ______.A. kill germsB. carry germsC. protect germsD. love germs（）2.

Germs Are DevelopedBTed, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. "I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?" he said to Mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets .is "OK", but often he gets "You can do better than this." Mum knows what it means. She tells me "You can do better than this" means "Extremely bad" in China.In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the USA! Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough.Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true. ( )1.Why did Ted come home with .a letter last Friday ?A. Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother.B. Because he did something wrong.C. Because the teacher was happy with his progress.D. Because the teacher thought he was too lazy.( )2. If a student in the USA gets "OK" in his school work, it m eans .A. he gets top scoresB. he gets medium scoresC. he gets extremely bad scoresD. he gets the worst scores( )3. American parents will be when their children get a B-grade in their school.A. excitedB. sadC. angryD. happy( )4.The underlined words "high expectations" in this passage means .A. 很高的待遇B. 很多的自由C. 很高的期望D.( )5.The writer mainly wants to tell us .B. Chinese students are better than American studentsC. American parents are not strict enough with their childrenD. what the best way to educate children isC“Nobody grows old by Iiving a number of years, ” wrote a writer. “People grow old when they don’t have their ideals.” People shouldn’t have the wrong ideas about aging. Sometimes, older minds can be as bright as young minds. Alice B rophy once said, “It makes me unhappy when people say, ‘You look young for your age.’ What does that mean?

They are the first people to reach the peak of Dome A. It is 4,039 meters above the sea level (海拔).The team built a station there to study the changes of the weather, get ice samples (标本) from 150 meters to 200 meters below, and do other studies. So far, the team has got nearly 100-meter long ice samples from a place about 300 meters under the icecap peak.It is the first time that people have been able to get samples from the icecap peak in Antarctica and it is very important for people to study the weather changes and environmental changes in this area.The Chinese scientists have also built a weather study system at the peak. The system can send out information about temperature, how strong the wind is, and many other things about the weather.The Antarctic icecap makes up 70% of the earth's fresh water. By studying Dome A, scientists can get the lowest temperature of the earth and other information about the world's weather changes. We can't get this information from other places on the earth because Dome A is the best place for this kind of study. So it is very important to land on the peak of Dome A.（）1.

Several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a chance to read works 22 in Britain.Even with such an amazing team behind me, however, getting books in English was no 23 task. This was especially true for some African countries. And when it 24 to the small island nation of San Tome & Principle, I would have given up 25 a team of helpers.All in all, getting stories like these 26 as much time as the reading, 27 the effort was worth it. In the hands of different writers, I was taken inside the 28 of people living far away and shown the world through their eyes.

My coat was bright and black, I had one white foot and a pretty white star on my forehead. When I was four, Squire Gordon decided to buy me. Then Farmer Grey began to break me in.Like all horses that have grown up, I had to wear gears (用具). The first is a bit and bridle. I hated wearing a bit in my mouth. It was horrible, like a metal finger between my teeth. The saddle was not so bad. One morning, my master rode me round the meadow. I was proud to carry him, and I soon got used to it. But I didn’t like the iron shoes. They were very stiff and heavy on my feet. But in time I got used to that too.My mother told me, “There are good men like our master, but there are bad men too. I hope you have good masters. But remember; always do your best.”Early in May, a man came to take me away to Squire Gordon's house, in the village of Birtwick. My new stable (马厩) was large and comfortable. There was a little fat grey pony next to me. His name was Merrylegs. And I also found a tall chestnut horse at the corner of the stable, quiet.“That's Ginger," Merrylegs told me. "She bites. One day she bit James, the groom (马夫). She says no one was kind to her before.

A life filled with meaning is what most of us want for ourselves. Then, what makes a meaningful life?Many researchers agree that a meaningful life comes down to three factors (因素): having long-term goals, believing that one’s life matters, and feeling that one’s life fits together and “makes sense”.But we believe there is more to consider. Sometimes life enables us to experience small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating (欣赏) such experiences, these moments may improve how they see their own life. We call this experiential appreciation (EA). EA is about the person feeling connected to events and being able to appreciate the value within the connection. It shows the discovery of and admiration for life’s beauty.We recently set out to better understand EA in studies. We were interested in whether EA was also tied to general judgment of meaning in life. If so, it could be a factor for meaningfulness.In the first study, we had people rate (评估) their support for different methods of reducing stress. We found that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful.In the next study, we asked people to rate the degree to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I appreciate the beauty of life” and “I appreciate little things in life,” as well as other statements that related to the three factors and a general sense of meaning in life. Our results showed that the more people reported that they were “appreciating life” and its many experiences, the more they felt their life was valuable.In the following studies, we further looked at the connection between EA and meaningfulness. For example, we found that people who were asked to look back on the most meaningful event of the past week generally reported high EA in those moments.All the results proved our theory (假设) true. But putting it into practice can be difficult.Our fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with goals. We try to get the highest output both at work and in spare time. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. We should slow down and let life surprise us.38．You were most probably in the EA condition when _________.A．you made a travel plan for the coming holidayB．you hurried to serve the customers in the storeC．you practiced hard to become the best violinistD．you stopped to admire the roses by the roadside39．What can we learn from the studies mentioned in the passage?A．Thinking back to the past weakens our sense of meaning.B．Enjoying small things can influence our attitude toward life.C．Proper stress management is the key to living a satisfying life.D．Good judgment on beauty improves connections among people.40．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A．It is easier for results-driven people to achieve success.B．We often turn a blind eye to the present moment.C．A fast-paced lifestyle helps us reach our goals.D．Future life will bring us many more surprises.41．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To explain how to discover beauty in life.B．To discuss what the true meaning of life is.C．To introduce a new factor for a meaningful life.D．To compare different factors for meaningfulness.China’s deep-sea exploration has entered a new period. Its deep-sea manned (载人的) submersible (潜水艇) Fendouzhe recently set a national diving (潜水) record of 10,909 meters in the Mariana Trench, the deepest underwater valley on the planet, according to AFP.The average (平均的) depth of the ocean is about 3,600 to 4,000 meters. With Fendouzhe, experts said China now has “full ocean depth ability.” This means scientists can carry out manned exploration at any depth of any ocean.Fendouzhe can find rare earth metals in the deep sea. These are used to make high-tech products. “The ocean floor is a whole new world. If we don’t explore this world, others willexplore it,” CCTV reported. The three researchers aboard the sub are also studying the many forms of sea life that are only found in the deep sea. The researchers can use the sub’s video camera to record what they find underwater. They plan to collect samples (标本) of rocks, animals and plants.The area that Fendouzhe dove in is known as the Challenger Deep, a very deep part of the Mariana Trench with very high pressure of around 11,250 tons per square meter, China Daily reported. The sub stayed safe thanks to its super-strong titanium (钛) body.Since it’s so difficult to send manned submersibles to the deep sea, why not just send a robot?“The ocean floor is dark and can be very cloudy, and cameras sometimes cannot discover things there as effectively (有效率地) as human eyes,” Yang Ning, an ocean scientist, told China Daily.Moreover, the scientists in the sub have different backgrounds. If something unusual happens, they can react (反应) quicker than machines, which lead to surprising discoveries, according to Yang.42．What did Fendouzhe recently do?A．It broke a world diving record.B．It discovered an underwater valley.C．It dove very deep in the Mariana Trench.D．It took people to the deep sea for the last time.43．What can Fendouzhe be used for?a. Finding rare earth metals.b. Making high-tech products.c. Recording videos.d. Collecting samples.A．abc B．bcd C．abd D．acd 44．According to China Daily, what challenge did Fendouzhe face in the deep sea?A．Dangerous animals and plants.B．High water pressure.C．Hard rocks.D．Bad weather.45．What do the last two paragraphs explain?A．What scientists will do with Fendouzhe.B．Why robots don’t work well in the deep sea.C．How robots will be used for ocean exploration.D．How scientists did undersea research.四、用所给单词的正确形式填空五、根据汉语提示填空六、阅读回答问题阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。

How could this happen?

Once it received an unusual letter from someone who complained that there was no soap ill the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of file factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases( 情况 ), tile packing machine let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing tile machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution, he put a huge X－ray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted."Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way." a worker said."Really? How?" "We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap".See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart like this worker.( )41.
