When Hepburn died in 1993, the world mourned the loss of a great beauty, a great actress and a great humanitarian.Born in Belgium on 4th May 1929, Hepburn dreamed of becoming a successful ballet dancer. She had also been a model before she entered the film industry. In 1951, while acting in Monte Carlo Baby, Hepburn met the famous French writer Colette, who was attracted by Hepburn's beauty and charm. She insisted that Hepburn was the perfect girl to play the lead role in Gigi, a play based on her novel. That event marked the beginning of Hepburn's successful career.Shortly after, Hepburn was chosen to play the lead role of a young princess in the Hollywood film Roman Holiday. It was a big success and earned her an Oscar for Best Actress. She also won a Tony Award for the play Ondine.During her lifetime, Hepburn earned four more Oscar nominations. In 1989, she made her final appearance in her last film Always and played the role of an angel.Throughout her acting years, she acted in only one TV series, Gardens of the world with Audrey Hepburn. By showing us the beauty of nature, Hepburn wanted to remind us that we should protect the environment.Hepburn is remembered not just as a great actress, but also as a great humanitarian. She was honoured with a number of awards because of her efforts in her charity work.

Some people climbed the highest mountains; some traveled into unknown parts of the world; some sailed small boats across the largest sea. Now some people begin to look for new excitement.Bungee jumping (蹦极) and motorcycle racing (摩托车赛) are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.Why do people join in these dangerous sports? Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.Many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.（1）People like to join in dangerous sports because _______.A . they have a lot of free timeB . they can go to the hospital if they are hurtC . they need excitementD . they don't need to look for food（2）_______ is not a dangerous sport.A .

Have you ever thought about why that is so?In the A, 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.55．It there a letter E in the grading system now?____________________________________________________________56．What does an F stand for in the A．B．C．D and F grading system?____________________________________________________________57．When was the letter grading system first used in the US college?____________________________________________________________58．What is the one of the possible reasons for changing the E grade and into the F grade? ____________________________________________________________59．How did most teachers like the letter grading system in the 20th century?____________________________________________________________60．Do you want to get letter grades or number scores on your test or homework? Why? ____________________________________________________________九、话题作文61．Writing. （写作）：Write a passage of at least 60 words on the topic “Numbers”.__________________________________参考答案1．D【解析】【详解】句意：下列划线部分哪个发音不同？考查音标。

It is so beautiful.There is a story, saying that whenever you see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the ground, and there you would find a pot of gold. Of course it is not true. You could not find the pot of gold or its end. No matter how far you run, it always seems far away.A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower. It is only the effect of light shining on raindrops. The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colours which we see. It is called a rainbow perhaps because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow（弓).That is why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky. We see a rainbow only when there is rain in the air and the sun is shining brightly through the clouds.Every rainbow has many colours in the same order. The first or the top colour is always red, and the next comes orange, then yellow, and last of all, blue. A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders ofnature.（1）Children like rainbows because .A . they are beautifulB . they are like bowsC . they can find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbowD . they are good to crops（2）We cannot feel with our hands.A . a pot of goldB . a flowerC . a rainbowD . a raindrop（3）We can see a rainbow .A . when it is raining heavilyB . when it is snowingC . when it is cloudyD . when it is becomes fine shortly after raining（4）Which of the following statements is NOT true?A . A rainbow is like bow.B . A rainbow is the effect of light shining on raindrops.C . Every rainbow has different colours in different orders.D . A rainbow is one of the wonders of nature.（5）The first colour of a rainbow is always .A . yellowB . redC . greenD . blue6. （25分）请你仔细阅读第1—5题中的人物信息，然后从A到F五个选项中，选择他们最可能感兴趣的信息。
