But a long
25、time ago, it wasnt easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didnt exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlins work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One da

As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.

BAs I stood in front of the grave（墓）of President Richard Nixon, I was thinking about the time 25 years ago when this president helped bring the United Sta
32、tes and China closer together. Young people of our two countries should help this relationship grow. This remark was made by a Shanghai student when speaking to his fellow students at the Nixon Library in California, U.S.A. He was one of 80 middle school students from China attending a month-long Yo
33、uth Summit. The Summit was to mark the 25th anniversary of President Nixons journey to China, which was the turning point in China-U.S. relations. The Youth Summit was aimed at increasing understanding and friendship between young students of the two countries through visits and discussions. Seventy
34、-five American students were selected to visit China. They also visited the Nixon Library on July 21 before leaving for Beijing the next day. The head of the Library said he was pleased to see the American and Chinese students talking and laughing together. One Chinese student said, I didnt find it
35、particularly difficult to talk with Americans. We have our differences, but we have a lot in common. Dialogue is good for us. 60.The works Youth Summit refer to_.

The check is in the post, Dick replied quickly. At 11:45 Dick left for a 12:00 meeting across town. Arriving late, he explained that traffic（交通）had be
38、en had. That evening, Dicks girlfriend wore a new dress. He hated it. It looks just great on you, he said. Three lies in one day! Yet Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man. Each time, he told himself that sometimes the truth causes too many problems. Most of us tell much the same white lies, harmless
39、untruths that help to save trouble. How often do we tell white lies? It depends in part on our age, education, and even where we live. According to one U.S. study, women are more truthful than men, and honesty increases as we get older.While most people use little white lies to make life easier, the
40、 majority of Americans care about honesty in both public and personal life. They say that people today are less honest than they were ten years ago. Although it is believed that things are getting worse, lying seems to be an age-old human problem. The French philosopher（哲学家）Vauvenarges, writing in t
41、he eighteenth century, touched on the truth when he wrote, All men are born truthful and die liars（说谎者）. 63.When the writer says Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man, he means_.

43、le get older C. people were dishonest in the 18th century D. it is social conditions that make people tell lies D A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal text
44、s. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or
45、 making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story
46、. Often, however, this arises (出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that gia
47、nts, witches, two - headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar (奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. I
48、f their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend. No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has
49、 ever believed that it was.66.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _ .A . repeated without any change B. treated as a jokeC. made some changes by the parent D. set in the present67.According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _ .A.
50、in a realistic setting B. heard for the first timeC. repeated too often D. told in a different way68.The advantage claimed (提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _.A. makes them less fearfulB. develops their power of memoryC. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
51、D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs69.The authors mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is some misunderstanding about fairy talesC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for childrens fears
52、 nowadays70. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _.A. they are full of imaginationB. they just make up the stories which are far from the truthC. they are not interestingD. they make teachers of history difficult to teach ETechnology has been an encouragement o
53、f historical change. It acted as such a force in England beginning in the eighteenth century, and across the entire Western World in the nineteenth. Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods, which has changed ideas about work. One of the first chang
54、es was that other forms of energy have taken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines to manufacture products in less time. People also developed machines that could produce the same parts for a product: each nail was exactly like every other nail, meaning that ea
55、ch nail could be changed for every other nail. This means that goods could be mass production, although mass production required breaking production down into smaller and smaller tasks. Once this was (lone, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. Instead, they might work
56、 only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parts in certain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by todays standards. Highly skilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production allowed goods of high standard to be
57、 produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand. But the skilled worker wasnt the only loser, the common workers lost too. Similar changes forced farmer away. The increased mechanization (机械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers from ploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They h
58、ad little choice but to stream toward the rapidly developing industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longer owned their own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer possible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machine
59、s that could work faster than humans at greatly reduced cost.71. In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findings in the production of goods?A. Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.B. The increased exploitation of wor
60、kers in the 19th century.C. The increased use of machines to make products in less time.D. The use of machines producing parts of the same standard. 72. The underlined word this in the first paragraph refers to _A. the use of scientific findingsB. the practice of producing the same parts for a produ
61、ctC. the human power being replaced by other forms of energyD. the technology becoming the encouragement of historical change73. The underlined word this in the second paragraph refers to the change that _A. each nail could be taken the place of by every other nailB. each nail was exactly like every
62、 other nailC. producing tasks became smaller and smallerD. goods could be mass produced74. According to the writer, highly skilled workers _A. completely disappeared with the coming of the factory systemB. were dismissed by the bossC. were unable to produce goods of high standardD. were unable to pr
63、oduce fine goods at that same speed as machines75. According to the passage, what did the farmers have to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture?A. Many of them had to leave their farmland for industrial centers.B. They stuck to their farm work.C. They refused to use machines.D They did
