Life第三部分: 阅读理解(共20 小题, 每小题2分, 满分40分)AAt present time, roller skating (滑旱冰) is easy and fun. But many years 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 (工具). 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 much attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll (滚动). 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.Nobody forgot Merlins wonderful entrance after that.56.

Violin and roller skatingBMost Chinese people these days know what it is like to have an “English teacher”, since almost all pupils study English from their third year. Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. But my first English teacher is no other than my father. Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little girl, he created an English environment by providing me with flashcards，fun English- language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened (唤起) when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself! I was puzzled and even angry. I could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow through with his idea. At first, I read stories with tears and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In the end, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support. And thats why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is one who awoke my interest, and who gave me much confidence .61Most pupils in China begin to learn English_.Ain primary school Bfrom parents Cat three years old Dat home62The underline part ”no other than my father” in the passage probably means_.Alike my father Bnot my father Cmy father himself Dnot only my father63From the whole passage we can see that_.Athe girl preferred playing to learning EnglishBthe girl hates her father because he was strictCthe girl is very thankful to her fatherDthe father gave up after knowing his daughter could not understand64Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AThe girls father is her first English teacher.BThe girl had been interested in English before going to school.CThe girls father was always ready to help her with her English.DThe girl could have learned English well by herself without her father.65What would be the best title for the passage?AHow I learned English at schoolBMy father-my first and lifelong English teacherCThe relationship between my father and meDIve made progress in English learningCOn the evening of June 21, 1992, a tall man with brown hair and blue eyes entered the beautiful hall of the Bell Tower Hotel in Xian with his bicycle.
