Thomas Edison was a great inventor. One day, about one hundred years ago, Edison stood by a strange-looking machine. He said the words, “Many had a little lamb.” Then something marvelous happened - the machine talked back. He had invented the phonograph.
At first the machine did not work very well. Another famous inventor, Alexander Graham Bell, helped Edison to improve it. Still people were not sure that they liked listening to the phonograph. Then a great singer, Enrico Caruso, made some records. Everyone loved them, and the phonograph became popular.
Today we can listen to our favorite singers whenever we want to-thanks to Thomas Edison.

Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because hawks (鹰) were taking many of their chickens. The farmers did not know what to do. Finally they decided to kill the hawks.
The farmers killed many hawks. They no longer had to worry about their chickens. But they now had a new worry. Field mice (老鼠) were eating up a lot of the farmers' grain ( food plants).
How did this happen?
Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice. They eat more field mice than chickens. But the farmers did not know this. When they killed a lot of hawks, they changed the balance (平衡) of nature ( 自然界 ).
When people move into a new place, they often destroy (破坏) many wild plants. Often these plants are food for the animals. If the animals cannot find enough plants to eat, they will go hungry or have to leave the place.
In one part of the United States, for example, the deer (鹿) there like to eat a kind of wild rose (some plants). The mountain lions there eat the deer. The number of deer, mountain lions, and wild roses does not change much. But people killed many mountain lions to protect the deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses. Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees. These trees were important to the farmers. So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees. Now the deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature.
To keep the balance of nature is important for us to remember.
根据短文内容，完成下面的表格。
(D)
Mr, Whitson taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about a creature called the cattywampus, an animal that was wiped out (灭绝) during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull (头骨) as he talked. We all took notes and later had a test.
When he returned my paper, I was shocked. There was a big red "X" through each of my answers. I had failed. There had to be some mistake! I had written down exactly what Mr. Whitson said. Then I realized that everyone in the class had failed. What had happened?
"Very simple. " Mr. Whitson explained. He had made up all those things about cattywampus. There had never been any such animal. The information in our notes was wrong. Did we expect praise (表扬) for wrong answers?
We were very angry. What kind of test was that? And what kind of teacher?
We should have figured it out (弄……明白) , Mr. Whitson said. At the very moment he was passing around that cattywampus skull, hadn't he been telling us that no trace (迹象) of the animal remained (存在) ? He had described its color and other facts he couldn't have known. He had given the animal a strange name, and we still hadn' t been suspicious (有疑心的). The zeroes on our papers would be recorded in his grade book, he said. And they were.
Mr. Whitson said he hoped we would learn something from this experience. Teachers and notebooks are not never wrong. In fact, no one is. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep and to speak up if we ever thought he or textbook was wrong.
I haven't made any great scientific discoveries (科学发现) , but Mr. Whitson's class gave me and my classmates something just as important: the courage (勇气) to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong. He also showed us that you can have fun doing it.
( ) 43. All the students failed in the test because ________.
A. they didn't make good preparations for the test
B. the information given by the teacher was not right
C. they didn't put down exactly what the teacher said in class
D. they made up the answer
( ) 44. Why did the teacher give the students such a test?
A. He wanted to know if they understood the lecture.
B. He wanted to know if they had studied hard and taken notes carefully.
C. He wanted to tell them they should concentrate on listening to him.
D. He wanted to tell them the teachers and textbooks are not always correct.
( ) 45. From the text , we can know that the writer ______.
A. thought Mr. Whitson shouldn't play a joke like that
B. thought the test was too difficult to pass
C. liked Mr. Whitson, and the way of his teaching
D. felt angry to have such a teacher

参考范文：
We did a survey of (about) school rules, Here are the results. Many students disagree to wear school uniforms but most of them think they should be allowed to surf the Internet. And only some of them don’t like to study in groups.
In my opinion, we should be allowed to choose our own clothes because the school uniforms are always ugly and young people should look smart. Another reason is that I prefer comfortable clothes. I prefer studying in groups though we sometimes get noisy. We can really learn a lot from each other.

四、
（一）评分标准评分原则：
1．按4个档次给分。评分时，先定档，然后在其档内根据语言的准确度给分。
2．第四档为优秀文章；第三档为好文章；第二档为及格文章；第一档为较差文章。
（二）各档次的给分范围和要求：
第四档：（11-12分）很好地完成了试题规定的任务。能写明全部要点；行文连贯；语言结构和词汇选用恰当、丰富；语言基本无误或极少；有效采用不同
连接手段，层次清楚；格式恰当。
第三档：（9-10分）较好完成了试题规定地任务。能写明大部分要点；行文基本连贯；使用的语法结构及词汇能满足任务需求；语言有一些错误：采用了简单地衔接手法，表达基本清楚。
第二档：（5-8分）基本按要求完成试题规定地任务。能写明部分要点；语法结构单调、语言错误较多；未采用合适的衔接手段，内容连贯性不强。
第一档：（1-4分）未能按要求完成试题规定地任务。漏掉或未能有效写出一些内容要点。语法、语言错误较多，影响了对内容的表达；层次不清楚。
评分标准分析
考生的作文要从四个方面考察：内容、结构、语言、篇幅。
1．内容：清楚连贯；紧扣主题（不跑题）。
内容全的标准：描述图表反映的内容；就图表内容发表自己的观点，说明自己的理由。
2．结构：结构完整；逻辑性强。
3．语言：错误多少（通常被量化）；表达是否清楚、准确；行文是否连贯。
1）虽然错误的多少可以量化，但单纯的错误多少不足以作为扣分的唯一根据，因为错误的性质不同、严重程度不同。通常，拼写、冠词、大小写、介词等错误被识别为“小错”，而影响思想的表达的错误、动词形式（包括时态）的错误、句子不完整等被识别为“严重错误”。
2）连贯的标准是：通顺、不拗口；恰当地使用衔接词；时态、人称、数前后一致；上下文逻辑关系清楚。
3）要求学生在文章中要用多样化的句式，只用简单句不能进入第四档文章
4）要求学生在文章中使用丰富的语言，如果有太多重复的词汇不能进入第四档文章。
4．篇幅：字数允许上下浮动15一20字之间。
5．错误的严重程度、词汇量的大小、句子的复杂程度应为评分的重要参考。
6．避免受学生字迹、字体影响。
