They will, in a lifetime, push the shopping carts many miles, but few will knowor even think to askwho it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. To create the first shopping cart, Goldman used folding chairs. He out one basket on the seat, and he raised the chair by putting wheels under the legs. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldmans first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldnt wait to see them using his invention. However, Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they werent using his carts.Dont you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket? one shopper replied.Goldman wasnt beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. Not only did more people comethose who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Todays shopping carts are five times larger than Goldmans original model. Perhaps thats one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937before the coming of the shopping cart.（1）Who invented the shopping carts?A . Some shoppers.B . A supermarket assistant.C . The phony customers.D . An American supermarket owner.（2）Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market?A . Because he wanted to sell more shopping carts.B . Because he needed more customers to buy groceries.C . Because he wanted people to use the shopping carts.D . Because he hoped to help shoppers carry their groceries.（3）The right order of the following is _.a. Many shoppers began to use the shopping carts.b. Goldman invented the shopping carts.c. Goldman paid some people for using the shopping carts.d. Few shoppers would like to use the shopping carts.A . b-d-c-aB . b-a-d-cC . a-d-c-bD . a-b-d-c（4）Whats the best title of the passage?A . How to Cheat CustomersB . Goldman and His Shopping CartsC . How to Use the Shopping CartsD . The Purpose of Goldmans Invention3. （10分）阅读理解 It is said that more than four million people die each year from smoking. That number is increasing. Seven in ten of those deaths are in developing countries. These numbers are frightening.Yet people around the world continue to smoke. The Great American Smokeout has been founded for twenty-five years to show the dangers of smoking and provide support for people who decide to stop smoking. The American Cancer Society says all cigarettes damage the body. It warns that smoking even a small number of cigarettes is dangerous. It is not easy to give up smoking forever. However, doctors say they probably will live longer if they do stop smoking. They will feel better and look better. They also will protect the health of family members who breathe their smoke.The American Cancer Society says there is not just one right way to stop smoking. Any useful way to stop smoking is worth trying. They may take long walks or spend time in places where smoking is not allowed. Also, they could eat a small piece of fruit instead of having a cigarette.The American Cancer Society says the sooner smokers stop smoking, the more they can reduce their chances of getting cancer and other diseases. It says blood pressure returns to normal twenty minutes after smoking the last cigarette. Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) gas levels in the blood return to normal after eight hours. After one day, the chance of heart attack decreases. After one year, the risk of heart disease for a non-smoker is half that of a smoker.Stop smoking before smoking stops you!（1）How many people die from smoking in developing countries each year?

I just visited Machu Picchu in Peru today. Ive never seen such a great place before. This place is so amazing that I want to share my feelings with you.When I first got to Machu Picchu, I felt like I was walking in the sky. Even the clouds were just under my feet. Do you know how high Machu Picchu is? I was surprised that it was at about 2,500m. How could people build a city on such a high mountain? It must have been very difficult to move stones there.Before the Europeans arrived, the Incas (印加人) were the last and the most modern society in the Andes (安第斯山). The Incas were afraid that the Spanish would find them, so they built Machu Picchu on an Andes plain (平地) as a secret city in the 14th or 15th century. As a result, the Spanish never found Machu Picchu.An American explorer discovered Machu Picchu in 1911. For a long time before that, nobody even knew Machu Picchu was there. After Machu Picchu was found, it was called The Lost City of the Incas. It is still a mystery why and how Machu Picchu was left and forgotten by everyone.I just had a wonderful day. Especially, I will never forget the goodbye boy who was a local boy dressed in traditional Inca clothes. When we went down the mountain by bus, the boy waved goodbye to us until we were out of sight (视线). He shouted some words at us too, and I guess, it meant, Goodbye, come back again soon! Why dont you visit Machu Picchu someday? I am sure you will love this place as much as I do.Yours truly,Lynn（1）Why did the Incas build Machu Picchu on an Andes plain?A . Because they were modern and rich.B . Because there were too many Incas.C . Because the view on the Andes was beautiful.D .

It was difficult to move the stones to build Machu Picchu.C . An American found the secret city in the 14th or 15th century.D . Its a mystery that nobody knew Machu Picchu was there until 1911.（3）From the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, we know the goodbye boy was _.A . friendlyB . poorC . shyD . hard-working（4）The purpose of Lynn to write the letter is _.A . to show the beauty of Machu PicchuB . to study the history of Machu PicchuC . to share his valuable moment with EdwardD . to remember the goodbye boy三、 选词填空（词汇运用） (共1题；共15分)6. （15分）根据短文内容选择合适的单词并用单词的正确形式填空，使短文完整，连贯。never piece with manner course cut as and meal fork eat anythingWhen you receive an invitation from an American friend, you should know something table _.Dont circle your plate _ your arms.If you do so, people will look at you.
