CA new school has opened recently. For an hour, pupils are taught how to use the mouse, the keyboard and the computer. Nothing unusual about that, you might think. Except that these pupils are toddlers, just two or three years old. We asked two experts for their opinions on the growing phenomenon(现象）of “Technology（科技） for Toddlers”, “Do you think we should teach computer skills to very young children?YESJudy Clarke, director of technology, York CollegeAt my college, we think that ▲ . Although the usual age for the national school exams is 16, we put our best pupils forward for exams if we think they are ready. They might be just seven years old. Having had great success with these courses, we began to think about the “Technology for Toddlers” classes. They are aimed at giving the pre-school pupils a head start not only in technology skills, but also in writing, reading and communication using the computer. Apart from the actual lessons, we also encourage parents to get the children to practice their new skills at home. Parents say to me all the time, "Sarah can count up to 30 and is ahead of her peers" or "Jack has gained so much confidence from your classes". Comments like these make it all worthwhile for me.NOAlan Jackson,educational psychologist, CardiffI've worked as an educational psychologist for many years and I must say that I'm very worried about this trend for encouraging younger and younger children to use computers. The negative aspects of staring at a screen for a long time at a young age are obvious. The lack of physical exercise, for example, can lead to obesity(肥胖）and the lack of interaction(互动）with real people can lead to problems with speech development. These are just two of the problems, but I could go on and on. I feel sorry for these children who clearly need to be running around and climbing trees with their friends.( ) 52.

He thinks toddlers have much more to learn at school.B. He still has much to do to deal with the serious problem.C. He will keep studying the matter of teaching toddlers computer skills.D.There are a lot more problems of young children using computers.( ) 55.

This article gives us some advice on how to give a good speech. So, you have to give a speech and you’re afraid. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, and you talk too long, and you get your audience (听众) less interested. Later you think,“Thank Goodness！It's over. I'm just not good at public speaking. I hope I will never have to do that again.” Cheer up！It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the reason for your speech. What is the reason? Why are you speaking? Then collect as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend a great deal of time organizing your speech so that it is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts (图表) if they help make your points clearer. Never forget your audience. Treat your audience with respect(尊重) .They will like listening to you more. Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience and the reason. Be easy and short. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person communication with your audience. If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches！You don’t believe that? Give it a try and see what happens.八、完成句子（6分）75. 你不在的日子里记得和我保持联系.Remember _____________________________ me while you are away.Leonard 和Daisy结婚已经有10年多了。Leonard _____________________________________ Daisy for more than 10 years.在英国退出后，欧盟由27个成员国组成。The EU _______________________________ 27 countries after the Brexit.事故发生时，汽车正高速行驶。The car ______________________________________ when the accident happened.坐直达航班省时，但要多花钱。_____________________________________________ less time but costs more.那个男孩睡着多久了？How long ________________________________________________________?九、书面表达（10分）假如你是李明，刚收到美国叔叔Kevin的电子邮件，请认真阅读下面的邮件，并根据邮件内容回一封电子邮件。注意事项：1. 英文回信须涉及邮件中的内容，可适当发挥，要求语句通顺，意思连贯；文中不得提及真实的人名、校名等信息；词数在80个左右，信的首尾已给出，不计入总次数。Dear Kevin, I’m very glad to hear from you.
