33.When I arrived,it was early morning and it was raining.I looked to the east -the sky was becoming grey.I got out of the car,went through a gate and walked along a dark path.There was nothing to see,but I knew it was there. Suddenly,the rain stopped and the clouds cleared.The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks.Far below me,the ground fell away and down to a river.I was looking across one of the wonders of natural world- the Grand Canyon. I looked down to the Colorado River,a silver stream nearly one mile below me.If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon,they still would not reach the top.Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon.It was about fifteen miles away,maybe more.Finally,I looked to my left and to my right,and on both sides canyon went far away for more than 200 miles.The Grand Canyon was not just big.It was huge! I remained by the canyon for about half an hour,and I asked myself, "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?" I certainly know the answer. What do you think?

35.Tell the grown-ups to back off—you can be trusted to do your homework without their help.An international study found children aged 7 to 10 were better at homework if left alone.The study's author,Assoc Prof (副教授),Jaana Viljaranta,said parents helping every step of the way risked making their children lose interest in schoolwork. "One possible explanation is that when the mother gives her child an opportunity to do homework autonomously (獨立地),the mother also sends out a message that she believes in the child's skills and abilities," Assoc Prof Viljaranta said. "This in turn makes the child believe in him or herself,and in his or her skills and abilities." The academic (學業的) performance of 365 grade 2 and 4 students was compared with the amount of help they got from their mother and teacher as part of the study,which also involved Finland's University of Jyvaskyla.Success may also depend on kids,teachers and parents all talking about what needs to be done and what will work best for the kids. Australian Primary Principals Association (APPA) president Dennis Yarrington said teachers and families needed to agree on how much help parents give and make sure kids know what the teacher expects. "Parents should encourage kids to seek further information from the teacher if they need it," Mr.Yarrington said. "Homework should not cause tension (緊張) between family members,which causes a negative attitude towards further learning." "When there is no homework to do,the best homework is to play,read or go for a walk with their parents."

A.①② B.③④ C.②④ D.①③ (4)What is the writer's purpose of writing this article?

42.What do you think of the most important inventions in the world?The TV?The printing?The telephone?Or the computer?A report shows that they are not the only important inventions.Here are three other important inventions. One of the simplest(最簡單的)inventions is the toilet(沖水式馬桶).Before toilets,waste ran into rivers from people's houses.Illnesses were common in big cities,and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water. Animal food is another important invention.Before the invention,most animals were killed(殺死)every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter.After hay(干草)became a kind of common animal food,animals could live through the long winter. The third great invention is glasses.Glasses help people read,write and do"close work"after the age of 45.Without glasses,the world would be difficult for the people above 45.
