The following is a recent survey among teenagers:

Radio

Most teenagers nowadays are not regular listeners to radio. They may occasionally tune in, but they do not try to listen to a program specifically. The main reason teenagers listen to the radio is for music, but now with online sites streaming music for free they do not bother, and users can choose the songs they want instead of listening to what the radio presenter/DJ chooses.

Television

Most teenagers watch television, but usually there are points in the year where they watch more than average. This is due to programs coming on in seasons, so they will watch a particular show at a certain time (as long as it lasts) but then they may watch no television for weeks.

Teenagers are also watching less television because of services such as BBC iPlayer, which allows them to watch shows when they want. Whilst watching TV, adverts come on quite regularly (18 minutes of every hour) and teenagers do not want to watch these, so they switch to another channel, or do something else whilst the adverts run.

Newspapers

No teenager that I know of regularly reads a newspaper, as most do not have the time and cannot be bothered to read pages and pages of text while they could watch the news summarized on the Internet or on TV.

Internet

Every teenager has some access to the Internet, be it at school or home. Home use is mainly used for fun (such as social networking) whilst school (or library) use is for work. Most teenagers are heavily active on a combination of social networking sites. Facebook is the most common, with nearly everyone with an Internet connection registered and visiting >4 times a week. Facebook is popular as one can interact with friends on a wide scale.

For searching the web, Google is the dominant figure, simply because it is well known and easy to use. Some teenagers make purchases on the Internet (on sites like eBay) but this is only used by a small percentage, as a credit card is required and most teenagers do not have credit cards. Many teenagers use YouTube to watch videos (usually anime which cannot be watched anywhere else) and some use it as a music player by having a video with the music they want to listen to playing in the background.

Mobile Phones

99pc of teenagers have a mobile phone and most are quite capable phones. Usually, teenagers only use their phones for texting, calling. Features such as video messaging or video calling are not used—because they are expensive.

Services such as instant messaging are used, but not by everyone. It usually depends whether the phone is Wi-Fi compatible, because otherwise it is very expensive to get Internet off the phone network. As most teenagers’ phones have Bluetooth support, and Bluetooth is free, they utilize this feature often.

Mobile email is not used as teenagers have no need; they do not need to be connected to their inbox all the time as they don’t receive important emails.

   The survey carried out recently is mainly concerned with ______.

A. how teenagers consume media

B. what electric devices teenagers favor

C. which new trend teenagers are following

D. how teenagers contact others and make their social net

   As is mentioned in the survey, the reason why teenagers watch less TV mainly lies in that ______.

A. teenagers do not watch regular programs

B. all the TV programs are on for only a few weeks

C. teenagers may turn to other devices to watch their favorite

D. the TV adverts coming on every channel are just the same

   Which of the following is TRUE according to the survey?

A. Radio presenter or DJ used to invite the listeners to choose the songs they want.

B. The main source for teenagers to get news is Internet as well as newspapers.

C. Google is the most common social networking sites due to its convenience.

D. Some features of modern mobile phones are not widely used by teenagers.

I am sure that everybody in his/her life has used computers. Nowadays you can feel their presence everywhere at home,at school,at work and they certainly make life easier.On the other hand,there are people who can’t work with them.

Anyway,I believe their presence is a good thing. Life with them seems easier, less difficult and more comfortable You can use them to choose your meal,to withdraw your money, and also save your time,because these operations are all controlled by computers. Therefore you can hardly imagine the modern world without them;the whole planet seems to be one big computer society.

Nevertheless,problems can often appear in this area, too.To have a computer means you have to be quite well-off and have the necessary skills to use it.However,think about questions like “Are computers so available for everyone, or rich and poor people,for people from villages and people from cities. Aren’t they too expensive?Is everyone able to learn how to use them and not everyone has the chance to access and work with them,how could everything in the future be dependent on them?”Therefore,I think our society will be split into two parts.One part will work with them and enjoy the benefits that computers can bring and the other part will be pushed out and will actually be far behind the other group.

Another question that bothers me is,on the one hand,computers are important  and good things in our life,but they aren’t everything.They are good as a help at school,quite often as entertainment,especially for young people,as an necessary tool to help in research etc,but I think we shouldn’t be so dependent on them,because computers are only machines and machines can’t feel anything be human and sympathetic,and every action performed by computer can be interfered with another person,which could cause these machines to crash or work badly.

In conclusion,I would like to say I am not against computers.I use computers,too,but people should be wary all the time.

1.By saying “wary”(In the last paragraph),the writer is trying to say “People should_______.

A. be strongly for the use of computers because of its convenience

B. be careful with computers that will also cause problems

C. master more necessary computer skills

D. not do something that causes computers to work badly

2.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

 

3. In the third paragraph,the author presents his idea by________

A. asking questions for people to think about

B. giving examples to support his argument

C. raising questions and answering them

D. expressing his opinion directly

4. The writer’s main purpose in writing the passage is__________

A. to encourage us to use computers in our society

B. to advise us to say no to computers from now on

C. to remind us to care about the problems that computers bring.

D. to inform us that the computer has become a necessary part of our life

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

With the development of the Internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a common place in our life. Here consumers can buy almost everything they need.

Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most important is perhaps its convenience. People don’t have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person. The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. The commodities they order will be delivered to them promptly.

However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the consumers can’t see the goods or try them on personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered. They will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you. Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain.

1. 以约30个词概括短文的要点;

2. 然后以约120个词以”网上购物”为主题发表看法,并包括以下要点:

(1) 你认为网上购物的最大优点是什么;

(2) 描述你或你的朋友或同学网上购物的体验;

(3) 你对网上购物有什么建议.

1. 可以使用事例或其他论述方法支持你的观点, 也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不能直接引用原文中的句子;

2. 标题自拟.
