know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s.At that time,computers were large and expensive.Computer networks（网络）didnt work well.If one computer in the network broke down,then the whole network stopped.So a new network system had to be set up.It should be good enough to be used by many different computers.If part of the network was not working,information could be sent through another part.In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government,but,in the early 1970s,universities,hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too.H owever,computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use.By the start of the 1990s,computers became cheaper and easier to use.Scientists had also developed software that made surfing（浏览）the Internet more convenient.Today it is easy to get on-line（上网）and it is said that millions of people use the Internet everyday.Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of peoples life.判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“表示，不符合的 ffi F表不。L The Internet has a history of less than thirty years.T F2.In the 1960s computer networks went wrong easily.T F3.Computers become cheaper so that many

be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street,maybe you will say Its cool.nYou may think,H es so cool,when you see your favourite footballer.We all maximize（扩大）the meaning of cool”.You can use it instead of many words such as new or surprising”.H ere，s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used.A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall（瀑布）they had visited.On one student5 s paper was just the one sentence,Its so cool”.Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity（缺之）of words.Without cool,some people have no words to show the same meaning.So it is quite important to keep some credibility（可信 性）.Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word cool?I can.And I think they are also very cool.1.We know that the word cool hasA.only one meaningB.no meaningsC.many different meaningsD.the same meaning2.In the

strong again.Everybody knows that.Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it.When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak,we know that it is his own fault.But if he tells us that he has a poor memory,many of us think that his parents are to blame,and few of us know that it is just his own fault.H ave you ever found that some people can t read or write but usually they have better memories?This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things;they cannot write them down in a little notebook.They have to remember days,names,songs and stories;so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory,learn from the people:practise remembering.1.The main reason for ones poor memory is that his parents have poor memories.T F2.If you don，t use your arms or legs for some time,they will become strong.T F3.A good memory comes from more practice.T F4.Some people can，t read or write,but they have better memories,because they have saved trouble.T F5.The best title of this passage is H ow to H ave a Good Memory.T F阅读理解7A meteorite（陨石）almost hit an 80-year-old man namedArthur Pettifer in Britain when he was working in his garden.The meteorite was the biggest in the past 26 years in Britain.The meteorite weighed（重量）one kilo,and might be over four thousand million（百万）years old.“I hear the big noise in the air.I looked up and saw the tops of the trees coming and going,he said.I didn，t know what it was.Meteorites are small things from the small planets in space.About 3,500 meteorites may fall on earth every year,but only very few are found.Mr.Pettifer5 s meteorite is the fifth to fall in Britain since the Second World War.Mr.Pettifer is glad.When you think about it

sure of that was on September 11.I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning.That day,I happened to wake up earlier.I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed（撞击）into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.My first reaction（反应）was that it was a terrible accident.Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing（目 击）an act of terrorism.My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again.When I watched family members looking for their loved ones,the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget.I couldnt understand how something this terrible could have happened.It wasnt until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy（悲居U）.People seem different now,more understanding,more tolerant（宽容的）.Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things.Personally,I am more tolerant than I was.I realize life is too short,and too precious（珍贵的），to let myself get worried over small things.IVe learned also that you cant take things for granted.Things change in the blink of an eye.People go to work and dont come back.One moment theyre living and the next minute theyYe not.And,it doesnt matter who you are,there is nothing you can do about it.We never know when our time here will be over,so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.You try to learn from what happened.You cant be used up by it.You cant live by it.All you can do is just live.1.The word“positive“in the passage probably means.A.terrible B.bad C.good D.real2.What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning?A.A fire starting B.A plane flyingC.A terrible accident D.An act of terrorism.3.From September 11,the writer had realizedt hat.A.people should make the most of every minute they haveB.he has become less tolerant towards othersC.he should get worried about little thingsD.life is too short to care about others.4.Whatb the best title of this passage?A.A R eport about September 11B.The Tragedy of September 11C.September 11 and My FamilyD.September 11 and My Turn.阅读理解9Mrs.Weeks was reading a newspaper story to her

家有一百多个，占了世界国家一半多，我国很早就把英语当做中 小学校的必修课程，要求参加中考、高考、考研究生等都少不了 英语，随着社会的发展，我国改革开放的进一步深化，英语越来 越受到国家的关注，以前我们从中学开始学习英语，现在很多地 方开始从小学就开始接触英语，我们不难看出，学习英语会对我 们以后的工作和学习有很大的好处，学生的成长似乎已经离不开 英语，那就让我们一起来研究该怎样培养学生良好的英语学习习 惯。根据我国基础教育阶段英语课程改革的精神，自今年起，我 乡小学生三年级开始学习英语。这对刚毕业的我们，无疑是一项 新的挑战。如何教好三年级起始阶段的英语，帮助学生打好扎实 基础，使学生的英语综合能力在小学时期得到最好的培养，成为 我最近一直在思考和探索的主要教研方向。英语是一门工具学科。要掌握英语，除了需学习一定的语音、词汇、语法知识外，还得练就扎实的听、说、读、写基本功。换言之，英语学习必须通过大量的听、说、读、写训练。从这点 出发，可以说，英语学习的过程也是习惯养成的过程。特别在学 生刚学习英语的三年级起始阶段，培养他们良好的英语学习习 惯，我认为是最至关重要的。下面就如何在三年级起始阶段培养 学生良好的英语学习习惯谈谈我的一些看法。一、专心地听。要求：认真听示范发音，听清后再模仿。用心听他人说英语。学习英语是从“听”起步的。“听”是“说”的前提，没有“听”,就无从模仿“说乙只有听得清，听得懂，才能说得准，说得好。用心地多听他人说英语，有助于培养对英语的敏捷反应。因此，培养学生认真听教师或者录音的示范发音，用心听他人说英语是 最重要的。儿童心理学告诉我们，小学生爱模仿，模仿性强，但缺乏自 控能力。课堂上，常有学生一听教师示范发音，就急于开口模 仿，轻声跟讲，结果导致自身发音欠准，而且还影响了他人听音。因此，在英语起始教学阶段，教师就要训练学生静心听，可采用“手势暗示法”，即教师随着示范发音打手势“一、二、三、四、五”，这时学生边听教师发音，边看教师嘴形，注意观察其大、小、扁、圆及变化情况，做到看明、听清，当打“五”结束后教 师双手挥起，全班齐声模仿。这样，发音易到位，模仿效果好。小学生听录音跟说跟读，往往只满足于“听到“，能跟得上说，跟得上读，而不注意语音、语调、句重音、停顿等。因此，教师 要引导学生“听清”，在播放录音前，可分步提出听的具体要求,使听一遍录音，便有一次收获。英语课堂教学是小学
