I m doing a survey of teaching materials in school. What kind of textbooks do you use? Do you think the use of photocopied(复印的) netbooks and newspaper articles in the classroom can be accepted? Please give your1. The use of such materials is certainly not 2for writers. Textbooks are like other creative works. Many people have to put their efforts in the writing of a book. The efforts of the writers and publishers will be totally wasted if everyone photocopies their textbooks. I cant imagine that! I dont think it right to use photocopied materials even in the classroom because its against the law. Teachers should set a good example for their students by 3the law. Copied books are as good as copyrighted(正版的)ones, but they dont4much, usually less than half the price. In addition, it is so5to use copied materials. When we want to share something good we just have it photocopied. I think photocopying is OK because publishers are still making a lot of money anyway. Most of the time, teachers make sure their students do not use photocopied materials. But I know some teachers do use photocopied newspaper articles sometimes, as their students are eager to learn more to widen their views. As you know, teachers always put the 6of students above anything else. After all, you cant expect all the students to buy newspapers. Wow! Thank you for sharing so many ideas!（1）A . thanks B . lessons C . excuses D . opinions （2）A . easy B . fair C . common D . traditional （3）A . changing B . explaining C . respecting D . making （4）A . save B . affect C . offer D . cost （5）A . convenient B . strange C . exciting D . difficult （6）A . actions B . needs C . records D . attitudes 三、 阅读理解 (共2题；共20分)17. （10分）Once upon a time，there were two good friendsOne was called Jack and the other was called JamesOne day，the two friends were walking through the desertDuring the journey they had a quarrel，and Jack couldnt control himself and hit James in the faceJames felt hurt，but he didnt say anythingInstead，he wrote in the sand，“Today my best friend Jack hit me in the face”They kept on walking until they found an oasis(绿洲)They decided to get some water thereSuddenly James had trouble in the water，he fell into the mire(泥潭)and was in dangerJack saved him at onceWhen he felt all right，he wrote on a stone，“Today my best friend Jack saved my life”Jack was very surprised and asked James，“After I hurt you，you wrote in the sand and now you write on the stoneWhy?”James replied，“When someone hurts us，we should write it down in the sand so that the wind of forgiveness can blow it awayBut when someone does anything good for us，we must write it on the stone，so no wind can blow it away”Since then，the two good friends have never quarreled with each other again and they got on better with each otherHatred(仇恨)can bring you nothing but unhappinessIf you dont forgive others，you are making trouble for yourself Keep a peaceful heart all the time and remember to be always thankful to others!（1）What happened when Jack hit his friend James in the face?A .

You might have never heard of his name before, but do you know that the email you use every day was his child?Ray Tomlinson is known as the father of email. He was born in New York in 1941. He attended college at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he took part in a program with IBM and in 1963 he received a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering.In 1971, Ray created the first email system, which allowed people to send messages electronically from the same computer. But he thought that there might also be a way to send messages from different computers, which led to the birth of the email we know now. He chose the sign to separate(区别于)local from global(全球的) emails in the mailing address. I used the sign to show that the user was at some other hosts (电脑主机)rather than being local,” said Ray in an interview Person to person network email was born and user host became the standard for email addresses, as it remains today.Ray Tomlinson died at the age of 74. Thank Ray Tomlinson for inventing the email and making thesign well-known.
