Some talents in poetry are used up early, but not Frost's. He continued to publish fine poetry for fifty years. He reached the height of his popularity after World War II. If America had a national poet in the 20th century, it was Frost. He was chosen to read one of his poems at the inauguration(就职典礼)of the late President John F. Kennedy, the first poet ever so honored.

Section C (10 points)

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. 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.

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

[答案] Microsoft Word./The computer.

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

[答案] Because it takes too much time.

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

[答案] By using his computer and the Internet at home.

By using online dictionaries and encyclopedias at home.

He uses online dictionaries and encyclopedias at home.

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

[答案] Because it is easy, fun, fast and makes you think.

Dear Xiao Wei,

I’m sorry to hear that you have difficulty getting along well with your parents. Don’t worry.

It is a common problem. You say that your parents do not listen to you. You feel very angry about this. I think you’d better have a good talk with them. In this way, you can explain how you feel. You should listen to them as they love you most.

It is true that you need time to be alone. However, you should make an effort to do what your parents ask. And of course, you must work hard at your study. Your study is important to your future.
