Section B(10marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example, when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher checks my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.

For English class, we are reading The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. As pre-reading homework, my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and finally found an article on Time. com .

For geography homework on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kinds of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy. For example, the river’s trade paths, the number of fish caught in it and the tourists it attracts directly affect Southerners’ jobs and incomes.

I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn’t always easy. For a big task or research project, I used to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. Now being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全书) also save time.

Sometimes, I think the computer spoils my generation because it is so easy --- at least physically. But computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer, easy, fun, and fast.

81. What does the writer use when he writes book reports and stories? (no more than 3 words)

82. Why doesn’t the writer go to the library to do research? (no more than 6 words)

83. How does the writer complete a big assignment or research project at present? (no more than 10 words)

84. Why does the author prefer using a computer? (no more than 11 words)

Good morning, schoolmates,

As schoo l life id not very busy for Senior One students, some may ignore their studies. So today I am happy to give you a speech about how to develop good studying habits.

First of all, before class, we should be well prepared so that we can understand the lessons. If we want to learn new things  quickly, we should read books in advance. Second, in class, we should pay attention to the class, we should review our lessons and do our homework. I believe that in this way we can not only develop good studying habits, but also study more efficiently.

That’s all. Thank you for listening.
