How do you study each year? You may answer it in one second: have classes at school, take notes and do homework. Feeling a little bored? Yes? So how do we make learning interesting? There’s a new way of learning called digital (数字的) learning. It helps students learn by using the Internet. There are three important kinds of digital learning. Apps are computer software applications (应用软件). People can download (下载) them on their mobile devices. The other two kinds are social networking services, including weibo and WeChat (微信) and website. Every one of them is like your teacher. They help you master (掌握) what you learn at school.
Compared with regular learning ways, digital learning has its advantages（优点）. Digital learning is also diverse (多样的). It covers almost every school subject. More importantly, it’s always updating. It offers students the newest resources (资源) to learn from.
Digital learning is also personalized (个性化的). You can choose what you like to learn. If you don’t master what you have learned at school, you can learn again through digital ways.
_____, digital learning also has disadvantages（缺点）. When you use digital ways to learn, you have little interaction (相互交流) with teachers and classmates. As digital learning uses computers or smart phones, watching the screen too long may be bad for your eyes.It is better to take a rest every 20 minutes.判断正误（“T”表示正确，“F”表示错误）。
Digital learning has both advantages and disadvantages.____________________为文中的横线处，填写一个恰当的连词。______________________________

Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks (攻击) suggests that sharks don’t like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still alive after receiving only one bite (咬). Why is this?
There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious (好奇的). We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet., the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.
Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones (骨头). It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don’t have hands, and they can’t pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that’s why they only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!
Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for a seal. An example of this is when a shark attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.
Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.What happens to people attacked by sharks?
| A．Most of them become blind. |
| B．Most of them become deaf. |
| C．Most of them died. |
| D．Most of them are still alive. |
How do sharks find out about an unusual object according to the passage?
| A．By biting. |
| B．By smelling. |
| C．By touching. |
| D．By killing. |
Which sentence about sharks is true?
| A．Sharks pull meat off bones when they eat. |
| B．Sharks might mistake humans for seals. |
| C．Sharks like to attack surfers because of their thick fat. |
| D．One bite from a shark is nothing serious. |
What would the author（作者） write the passage mainly for?
| A．To tell surfers to stay away from sharks. |
| B．To ask people to kill sharks. |
| C．To tell us why sharks attack people. |
| D．To show that humans are much stronger than sharks. |

One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”
Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.
However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.
