Unlike other languages, English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways. For example, there is “light” but “white”, “loan” but “phone”, and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing “ough”, “though”, “through”, “bough”, “cough”, “enough”, “ought” and “thorough”.The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling. In 1906, one of the richest men in the United States of America, Andrew Carnegie, started the Simplified Spelling Board whose plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound. For example, the word “though” would be spelt “though” and “through” would become “thru”. Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey, the head of the New York libraries, and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University. They explained their idea to President Roosevelt who thought that it was indeed logical (合理的).He immediately instructed the government printer to use simplified spelling in all government letters.But people did not like the change even if it made life easier and the new, simpler spelling was not popular. More importantly, when the American politicians discussed the plan, they did not like it either. Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians, he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling. However, people do simplify some words, mainly in advertisements. For example, we often see “tonite” instead of “tonight” and “thru” instead of “through”.（1）What does the first paragraph tell us?A . Why people have tried to simplify the spelling.B . How people have tried to simplify the spelling.C . When people have tried to simplify the spelling.D . Who have tried to simplify the spelling.（2）Whats the RIGHT order of the events? Simplified spelling speared in government letters. American politicians talked about the plan.

It made life confusing.C . It was unsuccessful at last.D . It was welcomed by people.（4）What is the passage mainly about?A . The American President Theodore Roosevelt.B . A group of people who tried to simplify English spelling.C . The way that advertisements simplify spelling.D . A government printer who used simplified spelling.5. （10分） Whats the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love :12+15+22+5=54, and luck : 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They cant, either.Then what else? Dont be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude. Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed ones attitude.When you change your manner and become friendly towards others, youll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude towards failure(失败), youll find its also rewarding though it has caused you losses.（1）In the writers opinion, what is the most important things in a persons life?A .

Believe it or not, they may have been an accident, or a failure of some other intention. Below, we found three mistakes were thankful for turned out to be what they are.1. Most historians hold that the Chinese invented fireworks in the 9th century when they discovered how to make gunpowder. Story has it that a Chinese cook accidentally mixed together what were then considered common kitchen items and noticed they burnt. When put tightly in a bamboo tube and lit, it blew up.2. In May of 1886, a law led John Pemberton, a pharmacist(药剂师), to rewrite the formula(配方) for Pembertons French Wine Coca, his popular headache treatment. Containing sugar instead of wine as a sweetener, the outcome became something for Coke, which was later mixed with carbonated(碳酸) water. His bookkeeper suggested the name Coca-Cola because he thought the two Cs would look good together, which is how what we call Coca-Cola, a world-wide drink came into being.3. During World War, scientists at the University of Birmingham invented the magnetron(磁控管)an important heat-producing part of the microwave oven. While working for Raytheon Corporation after the war, the American engineer Percy Spencer was testing the magnetron when a chocolate bar in his pocket melted. He went on to test other foods including popcorn kernels(仁), and found it to be a much more efficient way to cook. In 1947 Raytheon came out with the first restaurant microwave oven, which was six feet tall and weighed 750 lbs.（1）The right time order of the three inventions should be _.A . fireworks, the microwave and Coca-ColaB . fireworks, Coca-Cola and the microwaveC .
