三、阅读理解
? A
? What was discovered by accident? The answer is penicillin(青霉素).?It kills germs. By killing germs, it saves lives. Suppose you are sick. You go to a doctor. She examines you. She says you have a "staph" infection(葡萄球菌感染). She gives you some medicine. You take it. The medicine knocks out the staph. Soon you are well. Before penicillin, this would not happen. Staph was almost sure death.
??? Everyone wanted a medicine. Laboratories worked day and night. They grew the staph in small dishes. Then they tried to kill it. Nothing worked.
??? The laboratory dishes had covers on them. They kept things from falling into dishes. Moulds(霉菌) were a big worry. They are always in the air. You can't see them. They're too small. There are thousands of different moulds. Moulds can make an experiment(实验) fail. That's why dishes are covered.
??? Dr Alexander Fleming was working to kill the staph germs. He worked for years. One clay he took a cover off a dish. He looked inside. There was a thick growth of staph germs. There were also some moulds. Then he saw something strange. Where the moulds were, there was no growth of staph. This is what Fleming probably thought. "By accident, I found a mould to kill the dreaded staph."
??? This is how penicillin was found. But here's the real miracle(奇迹). There are thousands of kinds of moulds. But only one kind can kill staph. The mould must have fallen into the dish a few days before. The cover was probably off only a few seconds(秒). In those few seconds the right mould fell into the right dish. Another man might have thrown the dish away. But Fleming was very careful and smart. He understood what the mould did. How lucky the humans were!
1.During the experiments to find a medicine for staph infections, _____.
A.the dishes were not covered B.staph and mould were put together
C.mould was kept in small dishes D.staph was grown in small dishes
2.The word "dreaded" means "_____".
A.famous B.scary C.healthy D.endangered
3.The last paragraph suggests that _____.
A.accidents happen to everyone B.the careful person does not have accidents
C.the careless person will miss valuable chances D.luck is enough when doing scientific experiments
4.Most of this passage is written by _____.
A.telling an unusual story B.showing the results of experiments
C.offering some reasons D.giving some advice

A.medicine for a staph infection B.useful accidents

B
? Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?
??? In the Han Dynasty(汉朝), students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. There were usually two or three layers(层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones(砚) and paper in the boxes.
??? Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the "hip-pocket". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding(成立) of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks(军用帆布包) became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.
??? A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colourful and fashionable designs(时尚的设计) on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks.

解析：点拨:根据后句It will land…可知要用将来时态，又主语为物，与动词send是被动关系，要用被动语态。
2.答案：D
解析：考查it作形式主语的固定句式。句意: 琳达下定决心学习一门演奏乐器是明智的。在句式"It's +形容词+of/for sb. to do sth."中, 形容词如果是描述人物品质或性格的, 后面使用介词of。而且这个结构中it是形式主语, 真正的主语是后面的不定式短语。故选D。

The ballpoint pen
We know that the ballpoint pen is one of the most useful inventions. It was invented by an American reporter named John Loud in 1888. And it really helps us write faster and makes our life easier. But sometimes the ballpoint pens leak and they need refilling. They are widely used in many fields. And the price is usually low. Ballpoint pens are becoming smaller and lighter. They are really useful in our lives.
