ago, it wasnt easy at all. before 1750, people never tried skating on wheels. that changed because of a man named joseph merlin. merlins work was making instruments. in his free time he liked to play the violin. merlin was a man with many ideas and many dreams. people called him a dreamer. one day merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. he was very pleased and a little excited. as the day of the party came near, merlin began to think. he wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance at the party. merlin had an idea. he thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room. merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. these were the first roller skate shoes. merlin was very proud of them. he dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. he was sure that everyone would be very surprised. on the night of the party merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. everyone was really surprised to see him. there was just one problem. merlin had no way to stop his roller skating. he rolled on, playing the violin. then, with all eyes on him, merlin hit into a huge mirror on the wall. the mirror broke into many pieces with a very loud noise. but nobody forgot merlins wonderful entrance after that.21. the story tells us that people began to enjoy roller-skating _. a. before the year 1750b. before the invitation c. because of joseph merlind. because it was dangerous22. people called merlin a dreamer because _. a. he slept and dreamed a lot b. he was full of different ideas c. he was a talented violinist d. he always made peoples dreams come true23. the text is mainly about_. a. a strange man b. an unusual party c. how roller skating began d. how people enjoyed themselves in the 18th centuryb before i left for america, everyone warned me to watch my weight because its easy to put on weight there. thats true. one thing i still cannot adjust to is the food and drink.almost every american person loves sodas, especially those full of ice cubes (方块). i remember the first day i came to my host family. when i asked them for a glass of hot water, they all looked at me and thought i was crazy!at my school theres no water dispenser (饮水机) but theres one in each classroom in china. all the american students drink water from taps (水龙头) outside the restrooms that are specially designed for drinking. the water is cold and the school doesnt have hot water.the most popular food here is hamburgers and french chips, which are junk food in china. most students who eat at school prefer those to salads. they also eat lots of pizzas and hot dogs. as a result, you can always see some really fat people in school.luckily, my host mom is really a great cook. she always makes food from different countries and eats a balanced meal every day. so i have a lot of fruit and vegetables. at my host familys home, they usually eat biscuits.these old-fashioned biscuits are low in fat and flavored with buttermilk, butter, and a bit of honey. oh here comes the most interesting thing: the word “biscuit” in china actually means “cracker (薄脆饼干)” here. real biscuits are a kind of soft cake.i was also amazed by the rich kinds of food in american supermarkets and their reasonable prices. for example, one brand of yogurt has 20 kinds of flavors! youre sure to find one that you like. and most of the food provides you “light”, “original” or “no sugar” options to choose from. 24. the underlined phrase “adjust to” is closest in meaning to _.a. get used to b. get rid ofc. deal with d. choose from25. what surprised the author about drinking water in the us?a. people drink from any tap they find. b. people prefer to drink sodas.c. people do not drink hot water. d. people drink from water dispensers.26. which of the following statements is true according to the article?a.the author thinks many americans do not eat healthily. b. biscuits are exactly the same thing in the us and china.c. salads and hot dogs are the most popular food in america.d. its easier to put on weight in the us than in other countries.27. what is the main idea of the article?a. to show how badly americans need to change their diet.b. to tell about the american foods that she likes and dislikes.c. to show how much fun she has with her host family.d. to introduce food differences between america and china. c women turn to online shopping women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the internet to do their holiday shopping，according to a study published last week in the us. for years men have been more likely to shop on the internet than women，but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women. “it shows how mainstream the internet is becoming”，said lee rainie，director of the pew internet and american life project group，which carried out the study. rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. this is because women traditionally make decisions about spending. users were more likely to shop online to save time. internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around. however，three-quarters of the us internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004they worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“but even if shoppers dont buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said dan hess，vice president of comscore networks inchess said that actually most stores websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. and most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“its all about making the shopping experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” hess said.28which of the following statements is true? athere were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004 bmost of the internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.cmore women shopped

gift-shopping online.dthe first robots were invented in the 1920s. robots have appeared in hollywood films such as robocop and the terminator. the robots in these films are stronger, faster and more intelligent than people. in real life, robots are mainly used in factories. they do many different jobs. usually these jobs are too dangerous, difficult or boring for humans. robots also help disabled people and people who cannot look after themselves. for example, scientists are making a robot to help blind people. nowadays many blind people have a dog to help them. this dog is called a guide dog. in the future, robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs. one robot guide dog is called meldog. it has wheels. it usually “walks” in front of its owner. it is very clever. it knows the speed of its owners walk. meldog talks to its owner by radio. the owner wears a special belt. this belt sends instructions to the owner from meldog such as “stop here”, “turn left” and “turn right”. in the united states, another type of robot helps disabled workers. this robot, called kilroy, helps disabled computer operators. the robot hears the sound of its owners voice. it follows instructions such as “turn the page” and “make a cup of coffee”. this robot will bring its owner tissue paper when he or she sneezes! robots are also used in american hospitals. they can do simple jobs. for example, they shave patients and brush their teeth and take meals from the kitchen to the patients rooms. they never get lost because they have a map of the hospital in their computer memory.32. some robots in
