The few people who knew how to write were trained in schools set up by the church. Those who made a living by writing for other people were called scribes(抄写员)。      The work of scribes was not easy. Much of it had to be done fast in order to meet the needs of the King. the church and traders. Most of the writing was in Latin(拉丁) ,but some of it was in the English of the day. And no one was quite sure how some English words should be spelled.      One problem was that several letters were written with short vertical strok（竖笔）that all looked like each other. Among them were the letters, ‘i’, ‘u’, ‘v’, ‘m’ and ‘n’, Thus, five straight lines in a row might stand for ‘uni’ ‘nui’ ‘uvi’ or ‘mii’.      As a result, reading was sometimes difficult, especially when the writing was done in a hurry.      The scribes solved(解决)the problem in part, by changing the letter ‘u’ to ‘o’ when it came before ‘m.’ ‘n’ or ‘v’. This is how ‘sum’ and ‘cum’ came to be written as ‘some’ and ‘come’. At some point, too, the scribes seemed to have decided that no English word should be ended by ‘u’ or ‘v’. Thus, in time an ‘e’ was added to such words as ‘live’, ‘have’, ‘due’ and ‘true’. It was added, but not pronounced. 51. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Everything has been written by hand in English since 1476. B. More than 500 years ago no people made a living by writing for other people. C. The church set up schools to train scribes before 1476. D. Scribes in England worked only for kings and traders. 52. Which of the following is false? A. Often the scribes had to work with great speed. B. The spelling of some English words was changed. C. Several letters were written with short vertical strok that all looked like each other. D. Some scribes of the day were quite sure about the spelling of many English words. 53. Sometimes people couldn’t read easily________. A. because there were too many u’s and v’s in sonic English words B. because most of the writing was in Latin C. when the writing was in English D. When tile writing was done hurriedly 54. The scribes changed ‘u’ before ‘m’ to ‘o’ because______. A. the change helped them write faster B. the change made reading easier C. ‘um’ and ‘om’ had the same pronunciation D. ‘om’ was the right order 55. It is believed that some scribes thought_______.    A. it important to add an ‘e’ to every English word    B. the letter ‘e’ at the end of any word shouldn't be pronounced    C. it natural to change the spelling of sonic Latin words    D. an English word should be ended neither by ‘u’ nor by ‘v’  (B) As late as 1800, women's only place was in the home. The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable(不可思议的). Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with men's names instead.     Teaching was the first profession (职业) open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.     Hospital nursing became respectable (值得尊敬的) work for women only after Nightingale became famous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “'ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England's first training school for nurses in 1860.     The invention of the typewriter (打字机) in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900 .thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted. 56. Why couldn't women become teachers easily? Because _____. A. the first profession open to them was writing B. most schools and colleges were open only to men C. they wanted to be nurses instead D. they had to work in the business world 57. The article suggested that_____. A. a woman can do all kinds of professional jobs better than a man B. women cannot learn to use typewriter C. all nurses are rich and well-educated D. nursing is a good profession for women 58. The article is mainly about_____. A. women in the business world B. the famous Bronte sisters C. schools and colleges in America D. rights for American women 59. Which fact does the article lead you to believe? A. The Bronte sisters thought that they were men. B. England's first training school for nurses was in Ohio. C. There are more men than women in professional job. D. Women find it necessary to work harder than before. 60. Which of the following is TRUE. A. The typewriter was made in the 1970's. B. Most England are doctors or lawyers. C. People's ideas about women's work have changed. D. The 18th century saw a changing world for women. (C) Bend over, take a deep breath and drink some water for 15 seconds! This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have the hiccups (打嗝). Hiccups are so mysterious. We really don’t know why they start and why they stop. Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it. An American man named Jack O’Leary claimed to have hiccupped 160 million times over a period of eight years. He tried 60,000 cures, but none of them worked. Finally he prayed to Saint Jude, the saint of hopeless cases, and his hiccupping stopped immediately. It took a British plumber (管子工) eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well. He tried them all, but the hiccups continued. Finally, he drank a “secret” mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone. Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.  61. What might be the best cure for hiccups? A. Special pills.                     B. Cold water. C. Whatever you think will work.       D. A spoonful of salt. 62. This story is mainly about _______. A. how to get hiccups                 B. what makes hiccups happen C. Jack O’Leary’s hiccups             D. different ways to stop hiccups 63 How long did it take the plumber to stop his hiccups? A. 8 years         B. 2 days       C. 8 months        D. 4 hours 64. If something is mysterious, it _______. A. is hard to stop    B. hurts     C. is hard to understand    D. is easy to take care of65. A cure for hiccups you believe in will make them ________.A. go away    B. worse     C. last longer     D. louder Ⅴ 阅读填空（0.5’×10）阅读短文，根据所读内容在文后的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。每空不超过3个单词。 Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution. One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow. Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that can please man. To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not benefit the society— many workers may find themselves out of jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment. Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem.                     66_________ And Pollution in AmericaProblem Method     71 ___________  Conclusion     67___       Building a new kind of clean car Progress in this field is    72_______________  .      Americans may live  a  75________ life. Taking the place of the   68___ by something else It takes years to develop a    73_____________    .   69_____ on the number of cars 74_______ may lose jobs.  Traveling and going to work 70 ____________  .   Ⅵ  写作 (15’)假如你是李华，得知你校的校报在高一新生中招聘英语小记者的消息，于是你写了一篇应聘信，用英语介绍自己，内容如下：1．现年16岁，高一（1）班，任班长。2．爱好英语阅读，订阅了各种英文报纸。3．能与外宾自由交谈，曾在初中举办的英语口语比赛中获一等奖。4．我相信自己能做好这项工作。如能被选中，一定努力工作。要求：（1）词数：100 (文章开头与结尾已给出，不记入词数)。     （2）班长monitor  订阅subscribe  英语口语比赛Oral English CompetitionDear editor,Recently I have learnt that you need little reporters from the new students in Grade 1.
