八、阅读回答问题(共0分
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．
When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter E. Have you ever thought about why that is so?
In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically 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. The fact”．Some schools have U grade for“unsatisfactory”,or I grade for “incomplete”.

Even with all this said, we should also point out that 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 inclusion of E instead of F.
Gradually,the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F.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 during a time of great change for schools. As the 20th century began,growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms. 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 continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids, they are familiar(熟悉) and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.
54．what does an F stand for in the A、B、C、D and F grading system?
______________________________________________________________
55．when was the letter grading system first used in the US college?
______________________________________________________________
56．what is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade?
______________________________________________________________
57．what did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century?
______________________________________________________________
58．why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today?

9．D
【详解】句意：爬山是一件多么让人兴奋的运动。考查感叹句。英语感叹句使用how和what引导，how后面的中心词是形容词或副词，what后面的中心词是名词。具体构成：1. What+a/an+形容词+单数可数名词+(主语+谓语)！ 2. What+形容词+可数名词复数或不可数名词+(主语+谓语)！3.how用来修饰形容词、副词或动词+(主语+谓语)！本句中心词sport为单数可数名词，exciting为元音音素开头发音的单词，可知填what an；故选D。

考查情景交际。A. But I don’t think it’s safe.但我觉得不安全；B. It’s their pleasure.这是他们的荣幸；C. OK. I will take your advice.好的，我接受你的劝告；D. Let me have a look at them.让我看看它们。根据语境，第一句话提到一个社会现象，即很多人喜欢在facebook或微信上发布自己的照片，由此推断第二句话将对这一现象表达自己的看法，A选项最为符合语境，故应选A。
12．A
【详解】句意：——你说过她不会来的，是吗？——是的。但她改变了主意。
考查反意疑问句。反意疑问句遵循“前肯后否，前否后肯”原则。根据“You said she wouldn’t come”可知前面是否定句，故疑问部分用肯定形式，故排除BC项；根据主句谓语“said ”可知，时态是一般过去时，反义疑问句的助动词用didn’t，故选A。
13．B
【详解】句意：老师说：“萨利，不要害怕在作文中犯错误。”
本题考查的是祈使句的否定形式，祈使句的构成为don’t +动词原形，又因为afraid害怕的，是形容词，所以前面要跟be，故答案选B。

考查疑问词，A. what什么；B. when何时；C. why为什么；D. where哪里。观察句子，两句的关系是因果关系，前一句是请两天假的原因，故选C。

【解析】20．句意：我们都很自豪剪纸是中国最伟大的发明之一。
根据句意理解可知，这里是“one of + the +最高级+名词复数”表“最……之一”；invent为动词，其名词形式为invention；其复数形式直接加s。故填inventions。
21．句意：舞厅在那栋楼的五楼。你可以从这儿上去。
根据句意理解可知，这里是“在五楼”，在几楼要用序数词，five为基数词，第五fifth。故填fifth。
22．句意：孩子们问乔叔叔：“你能告诉我们你的英国之行吗？”
根据句意理解可知，这里是tell sb about sth，告诉某人关于某事的情况；sb用在动词之后要用宾格形式；we为主格，其宾格形式为us。故填us。
23．句意：没有人清楚地知道他在英国的生活。
根据句意理解可知，这里是“清楚地知道”；清楚地修饰动词知道要用副词形式，clear为形容词，其副词形式为clearly。故填clearly。
24．句意：当我们在8万米高空飞行时，我感到很兴奋。
根据句意理解可知，这里是“在…的高度”此时高度为名词形式，high为形容词，其名词形式为height，在…的高度at the height of 。故填height。
25．句意：今天我们比以前有更多的自由来决定自己的未来。

26．句意：据说金队长有一个能量强大的激光手电筒。

28． Did steal 29． How soon 30． do they 31． What an 32． took place 33．There is going to be an art exhibition in our school next week.

【解析】28．句意：一个小偷在书店偷了李先生的钱包。
根据原句“stole”是实义动词过去式，可以判定句子是一般过去时态，所以一般疑问问要把助动词did提前至句首，同时动词变为原形steal。故答案为(1). Did (2). steal.
29．句意：我父亲一周后回来。
根据划线部分“in a week一周后”，可知用疑问词“how soon多久以后”来提问，本问为一般将来时，所以问句要把will提前至句首。故答案为(1). How (2).soon.
30．句意：孩子们每天早上几乎不吃鸡蛋作为早餐。
本句要求改为反意疑问句，根据原句动词为have，可知其助动词为do，时态为一般现在时；又因句中包含hardly，根据“前否后肯”原则，可知反意疑问部分要用肯定；反意疑问句中问句部分的动词与陈述部分的动词种类要对应一致，在时态上应和陈述部分的时态一致；句子主语是The children，应该用they来代替；所以是“do they? 不是吗?”故答案为(1). do (2). they
31．句意：《神奇的地球》是一部非常激动人心的电影。
原句动词为is，后面的中心词是名词film，根据陈述句变感叹句的规则，感叹词用what，不用how；film为可数名词单数，所以用what a/an，根据空后的exciting首音素为元音音素，可知用what an。故答案为(1). What (2). an.
32．句意：昨天午夜在安静的街道上发生了一起抢劫案。
根据原句与改写句对比，可知是写出happened的同义短语，happen发生，根据所学可知是take place，又因是过去式，所以用took place。故答案为(1). took (2). place.
33．根据线后为句号，可知本句为陈述句；There is going to be将会有；an art exhibition一个艺术展；in our school在我们学校；next week.下一周。故答案为There is going to be an art exhibition in our school next week.
