4．（7.5分）①How do we know the time？A clock，a watch or a mobile phone can help us.However，many years ago，there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy.Over the centuries，people have developed different ways of telling the time.
②About 5，500 years ago，the Egyptians invented the sun clock.This was a tall stone building.Its shadow（影子） showed the movement of the sun.So people could know midday.On cloudy days or at night，it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock.Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun.The idea is simple.Water flows（流动） from one bottle to another.When the water reaches a certain level，it shows the hours.But they failed to make people know the exact time.
③In the 13th century，the mechanical clock was invented.This was more exact，but it was i expensive to make one.In 1927，the first quartz（石英） clock was developed.Clocks became cheaper to build.It's also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock.More recently，in 1956，came the digital clock.Nowadays，satellites can send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.

A.Whenever you get a chance，practise.B.Here are several suggestions for you.C.But it is a great way to improve your pronunciation.D.You'd better find an article with recording.E.Don't be afraid of making mistakes when you give a speech.F.You can't pronounce correctly when you don't know its rules.
It's true that you don't have to make a speech like a native English speaker.However，a good pronunciation （发音） helps leave a good impression.（1）
Learn the rules.（2） So，my opinion is to start improving your pronunciation by making yourself know about the rules well first.
（3） Look at the words while listening to the recording.In this way，you can learn the relationship between the spelling of a word and the sound，and what words sound like when they're in a sentence together.
Hearing your own voice can be strange.（4） If there's a letter or word that you want to improve on，I advise you to record yourself saying it.Then listen to the recordings of native speakers.Find the differences and improve your way of pronunciation.
Practise every day.After learning how to say something correctly，you need to practise often.（5） Don't be shy.For at least 30 minutes a day，repeat the correct way to pronounce the words.With enough practice，you will improve a lot and communicate confidently.

（5）主旨大意题。根据第一段However，many years ago，there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy.Over the centuries，people have developed different ways of telling the time.（然而，许多年前，没有时钟，知道时间并不容易。几个世纪以来，人们发展了不同的报时方式。）可知这篇文章主要讲计时的发展。故选B。

"No." she shouted loudly.She couldn't believe her eyes.On her back were two wings as black as night.This wasn't what she had thought at all. "How I wish I could be a caterpillar again." Just at that time，May and June came over.

4．（7.5分）①How do we know the time？A clock，a watch or a mobile phone can help us.However，many years ago，there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy.Over the centuries，people have developed different ways of telling the time.
②About 5，500 years ago，the Egyptians invented the sun clock.This was a tall stone building.Its shadow（影子） showed the movement of the sun.So people could know midday.On cloudy days or at night，it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock.Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun.The idea is simple.Water flows（流动） from one bottle to another.When the water reaches a certain level，it shows the hours.But they failed to make people know the exact time.
③In the 13th century，the mechanical clock was invented.This was more exact，but it was i expensive to make one.In 1927，the first quartz（石英） clock was developed.Clocks became cheaper to build.It's also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock.More recently，in 1956，came the digital clock.Nowadays，satellites can send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
④There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping.Clocks are always changing but some things never change.Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed and not being late for school or work.

②About 5，500 years ago，the Egyptians invented the sun clock.This was a tall stone building.Its shadow（影子） showed the movement of the sun.So people could know midday.On cloudy days or at night，it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock.Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun.The idea is simple.Water flows（流动） from one bottle to another.When the water reaches a certain level，it shows the hours.But they failed to make people know the exact time.
③In the 13th century，the mechanical clock was invented.This was more exact，but it was i expensive to make one.In 1927，the first quartz（石英） clock was developed.Clocks became cheaper to build.It's also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock.More recently，in 1956，came the digital clock.Nowadays，satellites can send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
④There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping.Clocks are always changing but some things never change.Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed and not being late for school or work.

【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段On cloud y days or at night，it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock.（在阴天或夜晚，用太阳钟是不可能报时的。）可知下雨天我们不能用太阳钟报时。故选B。
（2）词义猜测题。根据第三段Clocks became cheaper to build.It's also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock（制造时钟变得更便宜了。......拥有一个时钟也更便宜。）联系前句可猜测出下划线单词ordinary的意思应为：普通的，故选D。
（3）细节理解题。根据第二段About 5，500 years ago，the Egyptians invented the sun clock.（大约5500年前，埃及人发明了太阳钟。）以及Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun.（水钟是第一个不用太阳的钟。）以及第三段In the 13th century，the mechanical clock was invented.（13世纪，发明了机械钟。）以及In 1927，the first quartz（石英） clock was developed.（1927年，第一个石英钟被发明出来。）以及More recently，in 1956，came the digital clock.（最近，在1956年，出现了数字时钟。）可知文章中提到了多五种钟表，故选B。
