小升初英语练习试题八十五及答案

　　一、阅读理解

　　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 edits 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're reading The Outsiders， by S. E. Hinton. As a pre - reading assignment (作业)， 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 a geography assignment 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 kind of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country affects (影响) its economy. For example， the river's trade paths， the number of fish caught in it ， and the tourists it attracts (吸引)directly affect Southemers' jobs and incomes (收入)， Doing that， I had a lot of fun.

　　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 assignment or research project， I'd have to stay at the library to read， or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. 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 (宠坏) my generation because it's 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， because it has so many advantages.
