3．Jessica had intended to go bungee jumping，and on second thoughts，she        the plan．（　　）
A．was cancelingB．cancelsC．canceledD．has canceled

分析 Jessica本来打算去蹦极，经过再三考虑，她取消了这项计划．

解答 答案：C  由于"Jessica had intended to go bungee jumping．Jessica 本来打算去蹦极"使用了过去完成时，通常过去完成时对应的时态是一般过去时．因此"she        the plan"的空白处要用一般过去时．故B和D不正确；A 是过去进行时，表示过去正在进行的动作；根据"on second thoughts经过再三考虑"结果应该是"她取消了这项计划"，而不是（过去）正在取消计划．故选C

点评 本题考查的是一般过去时的用法．要注意总结它与过去完成时的区别．一般过去时只表示过去发生的动作或状态；过去完成时表示过去某时间之前发生的动作或状态； 在没有明确的表示过去的时间状语作标志时，谓语动词动作发生的时间先后须依据上下文来判断：先发生的用过去完成时，后发生的则用一般过去时．

1．I have been consistenly opposed to feeding a baby regularly．As a doctor，mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it，from the baby's point of view．
Mothers，doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby's blood sugar level lies．All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed．In this state，the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible．The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth．
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied．The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night．I've never heard anything so ridiculous．Baby feeding shouldn't follow a timetable set by the mum．What is important is feeding a baby In the best way，though it may cause some ineonvenience in the first few weeks．
Well，at last we havecopper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding．The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5，7，11and 14，than babies fed according to the clock．By the age of 8，their IQ （智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable．This
Research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample （样本）of 10，419children born in the early 1990s，taking account of parental education，family income，a child's sex and age，the mother's health and feeling style．These results don't surprise me．Feeling according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels．
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices．

2．In English the spelling of words does not always represent the sound．So people say/rait/but spell it right or write，or even rite．Combinations of letters may be pronounced in many ways．And some words just seem to have too many letters．
　 For Americans things are a little bit easier，thanks to the work of Noah Webster，a teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778．As a young man，he had fought against the British in the American War of Independence，and he felt that written English in the newly independent United States should have a distinctive American look．
　 So he began his work on American English．His first book，The Elementary Spelling Book，suggested simplifying the spelling of English words．The book was extremely popular．By the 1850s，it was selling one million copies a year，making it one of the most popular school books ever．
　 Many of the suggestions were quickly adopted．Center instead of centre，program instead of programme，and flavor instead of flavour．Others，however，such as removing silent letters like s in island or the final e in examine，were not．
   Webster is best known for his American Dictionary of the English language，which first appeared in 1828．It introduced lots of new American words，with information about their pronunciation and use，and，of course，the new spelling．The British criticized the dictionary，but it quickly became a standard reference book in the States．Today，Webster's dictionary is still the number one dictionary for American students．
