B、I'll do that.
C、I'd love to.
D、I think so.
参考答案:D
解析:
【答案】D【解析】说话人是在询问对方“今晚是否可以加班”，所以对答者应表明自己的态度并做出回答。I think so表示“我认为行”，在此so替代了宾语从句that it is possible for me to work late tonight，所以D选项正确。而“Would you like / love to do sth?” 句型的肯定回答是I’d love to。
二、阅读理解
The wheel was one of man's first invention and yet it has also proved one of the most useful. So wide and varied are the uses of wheels, in machines and vehicles of all kinds, that it is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without them. It is surprising to hear it said, therefore, that the wheel's importance will perhaps be greatly reduced by the end of the century by an invention so new as to be still unnamed.
The invention is a machine that floats above any surface on a cushion (垫子) of air. The cus
hion is formed when air is blown into the bottom of the machine. This part is shaped like a saucer turned upside down. If air is blown into this saucer, the machine rises to a height that may vary from a few inches to a few feet.
Industry is already using one form of the invention to deal with heavy loads. It can lift them with ease and since there are no wheels, and therefore no friction, they can be put into motion with the touch of a finger.
The new invention, however, is having a great effect on transport. Not only does it make expensive road systems unnecessary, but it enables vehicles to travel equally well over land or water. This unique ability to reach most destinations has given rise to the prediction that wheeled vehicles may be as uncommon at the end of the century as airplanes were at the beginning.
6、The phrase "with the touch of a finger" in the third paragraph means by hand.
A、T
B、F
参考答案:B
解析:
7、The first paragraph tells us that a new invention may make wheels less important.

B、F
参考答案:A
解析:
9、At the end of the century, vehicles using the new invention will probably be rare.
A、T
B、F
参考答案:B
解析:
10、According to the passage, the new invention can go almost anywhere.
A、T
B、F
参考答案:A
解析:
A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore, the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily as
sembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
