Is it because they are lazy? Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster(1758 — 1843). He was a teacher who reformed (改革) English to make American identity (特征) stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.After the Revolutionary War (1775 — 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British dictionaries. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded. He used “subway” instead of British word “underground”. Some other examples are “soccer” and “football”, “fall” and “autumn”.Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous(unreasonable), he wrote: “A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.” Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828. He also added local words.His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity (统一) and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.“He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a book about Webster. “He at last brought us together through our language.”4．Which is NOT true about Webster’s dictionary?A．It has local words in it.B．It is a 70,000-word dictionary.C．All the words are spelled without “u”.D．Its words are in American-style spelling.5．What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Depend on.B．Trust in.C．Put up with.D．Give up. 6．What do people think of Webster’s dictionary?A．It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today.B．It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence.C．It has no influence on the development of American English.D．It helped to make American English more useful than British English.7．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The development of the British English.B．American English is better than British English.C．Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary.D．Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English.COne August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him.Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know what that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike (话筒), trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock (休克). Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.8．It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _______.A．there are huge noisesB．strangers are approachingC．the air is filled with food smellD．the hottest season comes around9．Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______.A．have no after-effectsB．suffer from sharper painC．surely lose his lifeD．become more sensitive10．Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______.A．he was unable to speak clearlyB．his radio equipment was poorC．he was in a state of shockD．no one was on duty11．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Allen, A Helpless DriverB．Wasps, Bloody KillersC．A Race Against DeathD．War Against WaspsDArmy ants are mainly distributed in South America and Africa and mostly live in the Amazon River basin. They like to live in groups and generally one or two million in a group. They are migratory, have no fixed on the move. When encountering obstacles such as gaps, army ants are able to connect their bodies to each other and build a bridge for large groups of ants to pass through, saving crawling distance. The bridge can be built and removed very quickly, in seconds.Christopher Reid of the University of Sydney’s Insect Behaviour and Ecology Laboratory, said that when studying the ant bridge, he initially assumed that once the ant bridge was built the two end positions of the bridge would be fixed, and the bridge itself would be relatively stationary (不动的).However, after observation, it was found that the ant bridge would constantly change according to the army ants’ knowledge of the outside world. The ant bridge can move slowly from the original position, increasing the number of ants in the bridge, extending the length of the bridge, so that other ants may save a lot of efforts by using the ant bridge instead of taking other routes. In this way, it can continuously compress the distance to the target area.Meanwhile, the researchers have also found that the changing ant bridge does not always achieve the shortest distance. When the bridge is extended to a certain extent, the number of ants involved in the construction of the ant bridge will not continue to increase, and the length of the bridge will stop growing.Researchers believe that army ants use the best methods in the construction of bridges. Since the ants involved in building the bridge are unable to participate in other work, the colony stops putting in more ants as soon as it finds that the number of ants put into extending the bridge is out of balance with the number of ants needed for other jobs.12．What is mainly introduced about army ants in paragraph 1?A．Their migration.B．Their distribution.C．Their living habits.D．Their hunting targets.13．What did the research find about the bridge built by army ants ?A．It becomes longer constantly.B．It keeps unchanged once built.C．It achieves the shortest distance.D．It is adjusted according to the needs.14．What does the underlined word “compress” mean in paragraph 3?A．Reduce.B．Calculate.C．Neglect.D．Judge.15．What is the writing purpose of the text ?A．To stress the importance of cooperation.B．To explain army ants’ incredible strength.C．To show army ants’ collective intelligence.D．To indicate the harmony between nature and human.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

With the advent of the internet, social media platforms, and mobile devices, the traditional forms ofcommunication, such as letters and landline phones, have become less common. This shift has both positive and negative impacts on society.One of the positive impacts of the digital age is the ease of communication. People can now connect with each other instantly, regardless of geographical barriers. This has made the world smaller and has facilitated global collaboration. Additionally, the digital age has made information more accessible than ever before. With just a few clicks, one can find information on virtually any topic.However, the digital age also has its downsides. One of the most significant concerns is the potential for misinformation and cyberbullying. With the ease of sharing information, it is easier for false information to spread rapidly.
