At that time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples—a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word "head" should be spelled “hed”, and the word“laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster’s suggestions.However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”.With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828.Webster's dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster’s work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.16．What was Noah Webster when he was young?A．A writer.B．A teacher.C．A painter.D．A reporter.17．Why did Webster decide to write books?A．Because he wanted to earn more money.B．Because he wasn’t satisfied with the books he used.C．Because there were not enough books in the market.D．Because he had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student.18．What can we learn from paragraph 3?A．Webster spoke English in a different way.B．American people didn't like speaking English.C．Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooks.D．American people didn't write English as exactly as English people did.19．What is Noah Webster famous for in American history?A．His teaching methods.B．His dictionary.C．His fighting for freedom.D．Learning foreign languages.20．What does the last sentence of this article mean?A．Most dictionaries in the world are the copies of Webster’s.B．Most American people followed Webster’s advice on writing.C．Webster’s dictionary is the only one used in the United States.D．Most dictionaries in American English have the characteristic (特点) of Webster’s. 4.（12.5分）CLong, long ago people made fires from lightening (闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful.21. From the text we know that a spark can _______.A. fire any leavesB. burn anythingC. burn dry leavesD. keep fire burning22. Matches have been used ________.A. for about two thousand yearsB. for about two hundred yearsC. since people began to use fire for cookingD. since people used the heat from the sun23. From the text, we know that _______.A. electric fire starters are of great useB. people haven’t used matches since they had electric fire startersC. today there are only two ways to make fireD. forest fires can’t happen from lightening24. The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to “________”．A. matchesB. peopleC. new waysD.fires25. Which of the following is the right order (排序) of the ways to make fires people got to know?a. with a matchb. from the sunc. from lighteningd. by rubbinge. with an electric fire starterA. a, b, c, d, eB. b, c, a, e, dC. c, d, b, a, eD. d, a, c, b, e三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分12.5分）5.（12.5分）Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well. The grammar is now familiar. The reading comprehension（理解）is no problem. You are communicating quite fluently（流利地）. 26 .First of all, remember that you are not alone.

The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from , which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (使沮丧) by limited understanding. 28 .Here is some of the advice I give my students:Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Keep cool when you do not understand --- even if you continue not to understand for a long time.29 .

Translating leads toa kind of block in one’s brain which sometimes doesn't allow us to understand anything at all!By remaining calm, allowing yourself not to understand, and not to translate while listening, your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing: understanding English in English.A. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.B. What should you do?C. Do not translate everything into your native language.D. This situation leads to less -- not more -- understanding.E. The next step is to find listening resources.F. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.G.

Moreover, online courses often provide a wide range of subjects and topics that might not be available in local schools.However, the shift to online learning has also raised concerns about the quality of education.

Additionally, there is a fear that online learners might lack the discipline and motivation to complete their studies without the structure of a traditional classroom.Despite these challenges, many educational institutions are embracing the digital revolution.

Their most famous architectural achievement is the construction of the pyramids, which were built as tombs for the pharaohs. The Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of the pyramids, was built around 2560 BC. It was designed to be a perfect square, with each side measuring approximately 230 meters. The Egyptians were able to calculate the length of the sides of the pyramid with remarkable accuracy, even though they did not have the benefit of modern tools.One of the key mathematical concepts used in the construction of the pyramidswas the Pythagorean theorem. The Egyptians used the theorem to ensure that the corners of the pyramid were 90 degrees, which was essential for stability. Another important mathematical concept they used was the concept of pi, which they approximated as 3.16. This allowed them to calculate the circumference of the base of the pyramid, which was crucial for the construction of the outer casing.The Egyptians also had a sophisticated understanding of astronomy. They believed that the stars and planets had a significant impact on the human world, and they used their knowledge of astronomy to guide their daily lives. For example, they aligned the pyramids with specific stars and celestial bodies to ensure the pharaoh’s tomb was in harmony with the cosmos.Questions:1.What is the main topic of the passage?A. The Great Pyramid of GizaB. The mathematical concepts used in ancient Egyptian architectureC. The pharaohs’ tombsD.
