On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin．Everyone was surprised to see him．There was just one problem．Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates．He rolled on and on，suddenly，he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall．Down fell the mirror，breaking into pieces．Nobody forgot Merlin’s entrance!

George Stephenson(1781～1848)，a famous British inventor，made the first train in 1825，using a steam engine．When he was experimenting on the train，he met with troubles from the government, the newspapers and the gentlemen in the country．They said that the noise and the smoke would kill cows，horses and sheep，that the engine would burst or that the hot coals from it would set fire to their houses．People believed what they said．
George Stephenson told the people that the train could go on small rails，could pull carriages full of goods and passengers and that there was no great harm to them．It was a very difficult matter for him to make them believe．
However，after some time he was able to do it and the first train that was driven by George Stephenson himself proved what he had said．On the train，there was a new steam engine．It was invented by him and was proved a complete success．
The first day when the train ran on the rails，people along the way heard the noise of the train in the distance，and saw it running quickly to them．They thought it was a genie(妖怪)．They ran quickly home for fear and closed their doors tightly．They did not dare to come out until it had passed．A week later an old woman even said that her hen had been so frightened that it hadn’t laid any eggs for three days．

【答案与解析】
I. 单项选择。
1. C。be made of 和be made from都有“由……制成”的意思，be made of 是可以看出原材料的，而be made from是看不出原材料的，由句意“衬衫由棉花制成”，是看不出原材料的，所以答案为C。
2. C。so that意为“为的是，以便”，符合题意。as soon as意为“一……就……”。
3. C。本题考查数词的用法。thousand 表示确定数目时用单数；表示概数时常与 of 连用，且thousand 用复数。thousands of 意为“数以千计的”，故选 C。
4. A。borrow意为“借入”；lend意为“借给”，根据句意“我可以借你的自行车吗”？可知选A。
5. C。It’s said that…意为“据说……”。
6. B。本题考查词组辨析。because of 意为“因为”；instead of 意为“代替”；together with 意为“一起”；except for 意为“除了”，结合句意“多好的天气啊！我们应该去观光而不是呆在酒店里看电视”，可知答案为B。

11. A。look through意为“浏览”，look up意为“查字典”，由句意“我的父亲喜欢在网上浏览新闻”，可知选A。

Ⅱ. 完形填空。
1．A。在网上，用介词on，属于固定搭配。句意“在网上，我们可以看新闻，计划假期……”。

10．C。others指“其他的人或物”，只能作代词，常用来表泛指，相当于other+名词复数；another“另外一个”；the rest“其余的，余下的”。由句意“这些打游戏的人一天大部分时间在打游戏，余下的时间在想着游戏”，可知应该选C。

One possible version:
There was no hamburger in the world before. People ate bread, meat and vegetables.
One day a European put several pieces of meat and some fresh vegetables between two pieces of bread. He ate it and it tasted delicious. So this kind of food was invented in this way.
