___________________________________________________________________________

答案與解析：

1. Does，have. 肯定句改一般疑問句，若原句中是實義動詞，則借助于助動詞，此處為一般現(xiàn)在時，故用Does，have。

2. won’t be. 本句主語和謂語分別為He will be，反義疑問句前肯后否，故用won’t be。

3. What,?do. 對事與物提起疑問用what。

4. were discovered. 將主動語態(tài)改為被動語態(tài)，需借助于助動詞be，又因為此處為一般過去時，故用were。

5. went wrong. There was something wrong with?sth.= sth. went wrong。

6.?whether，would. 由題可知此處需改為賓語從句，又因為直接引語為一般疑問句，此處用whether 來引導。

7. I used to have milk and bread for breakfast.

?????本題中能夠充當句子主語的有I, milk和 bread以及breakfast，又因為used to的意思是“過去常常”，通常主語為人，故主語應(yīng)該是I，而milk和 bread同為賓語，又因為固搭for breakfast，則完整的句子就大致可以寫出來了。

Why think of road safety? It is because of the accidents that occur every day on the road. These?accidents means?losing life or wealth and more than traffic jams. So if people aren’t educated on the importance of road safety,?the situation can’t be avoided.

Accidents have many causes. The simplest is people slipping down on the road caused by a?bananaskin. Without meaning any harm, a person may throw away the banana skin on the road. When a person steps on, he or she will slip down ending in broken bones and sometimes even more dangerous. So people must take care and throw them in a bin. In some countries, the offenders are seriously punished. The second cause is careless crossing in busy road instead of crossing along zebra crossings. One should keep to the sidewalk of the road while walking and the vehicles must keep to their lanes in busy streets.
?????Also, there are many causes for the accidents about vehicles. One?is trying to overtake. Another is not noticing the signals. “Stop, look and go” is the basic rule, it will save vehicles from accidents. Riding two or three side by side is always dangerous. Very often the cause of accidents is the failure of the brake system which means the owner of the vehicle does not keep the?machine?in good condition.
?????Road safety is a matter of education in which schools can share responsibility. Through class meetings, children can be taught the importance of observing the rules of the road. As soon as the?bellgoes, children rush out and accidents do happen. Therefore, teachers must feel it their duty to control the traffic near the school. The police can help schools at rush hours.
?????To make people aware of road safety, media can play a useful role. The newspaper, the wall poster and the cinema and now the TV can deliver information. There may be speeches over the?radio?by the police officials or advertisements about being careful on roads before films or TV programs.

Students at Empire High School started class with no text books－but it wasn’t because of money problems.
????Instead, the school gave iBooks－laptop computers?to each of its 340 students, becoming one of the first US public schools to stop printed textbooks.
????School officials believe that the electronic materials will make students enjoy learning more. Empire High School?was designed to have a textbook-free environment.
????Students at Empire High School get the materials over the school’s Internet network. The school has a central control system that limits what can be downloaded(下載) at the school.
????“Students can hand in homework online. We have a web program that helps to check if you copy from others,” the headmaster Baker said.?
????In addition to offering up-to-date information, teachers can make the lessons more enjoyable. For example, lessons in history can include links to a person’s daily life, his ideas, his discovery, and so on.?
????Social studies teacher Jeremy Gypton said the change was easier than expected. Gypton said he?assigned?reading based on websites, used online groups and message boards to keep the students connected. And he also asked them to comment（評論）on each other’s work.?
????Julian Tarazon, a new student, said that it was kind of hard at first, because you had to put things in folders(文件夾). But after a couple of days, you got used to it. Another student Morgan Northcutt said the computer system had made it easier to do homework.
????The school isn’t completely paperless, however. It has a library, and students can read books in it.
????“We’re not trying to get rid of books,” Baker said. “We love books.”
