It’s faster than68 mail, and it’s cheaper than using the phone! By Kazuo I also think that the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion, there is an “invention” that is even more69, and that’s electricity.

Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can b71 you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read a novel （小说）, when a play on television can tell you the s72story with color, picture and action? H73 , television has not killed reading. Today, newspapers and magazines sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, books are still a c74way to get information and entertainment. Some types of books should be in our homes. Every home should have a good dictionary. It might be expensive, but a good encyclopedia（百科全书）is also useful because you can find information on a75subject. In addition, it is useful to have on your bookshelves other books such as history books, science textbooks, cook books, books about medicine and health, etc. It is also important to have some storybooks or novels. Then you can r76with a good story and have a rest quietly. D．．Read the passage and answer the following questions. （（回回答答问问题题）） ：： （（共共 7 分分）） When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter (字母) E. Have you ever thought about why that is so? In theA, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are considered passing grades.An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. However, E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US. The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale: A: 95-100% (excellent)B: 85-94% (good)C: 76-84% (fair) D: 75% (barely passed)E: below 75% (failed) We can see the E grade instead of F grade. Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. Later, many  schools decided to change the E grade and into the F grade. There is no evidence (证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”. Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler.As the 20th century began, school classrooms became bigger. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students. Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect (反映) student learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents still prefer the letter grades because they are familiar and easy for parents to understand.Although they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon. 77.

In the latest Spiderman movie, she plays Gwen Stacy, the superhero’s girlfriend. Emma has had a great interest in acting since she was a little girl. She loved watching movies and she wanted to act, too.At the age of 11, she acted in a play for the first time. After she entered high school, Emma felt that her love for the big screen was growing stronger and stronger. She gave a PowerPoint presentation to her parents to convince them to let her move to Hollywood for an acting career. Her parents were impressed, and they agreed. After playing some small roles, Emma finally got her dream role-Gwen Stacy. And she is glad to learn something about life from Gwen and Spiderman, “Real beauty is what’s inside,” Emma says, “and that’s what counts.” 14. T15. F16. F17. T18.

Do cats and dogs really “fight like cats and dogs?” We often see dog-cat chases in cartoons, but that is not always the case. A study has found that most cats and dogs can live together peacefully. The study included 748 homeowners from  different countries. More than eighty percent of them said their cats and dogs were comfortable with one another. Only three percent felt their pets could not stand one another. According to the homeowners, dogs are more friendly than cats. Many dogs will pick up toys to show them to cats. Few cats, however, will do the same for dogs. Moreover, cats are more likely to attack their dog housemates. It is because dogs are more easily trained than cats. They may be better at controlling their behavior. If you love cats and dogs, you can have them both. With some training, they can live happily. 20. different countries 21. pick up22. better at 笔笔试试部部分分 23-27 DBBCC28-32 ACDCB33-37 BACDB 38-41 CDAE42-45 CEBD 46. thirty-first47. actor48.
