Today, 11 skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making music 12 . In his spare time he liked to play the 13 . Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a 14 .
One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a 15 dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand 16 at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room. Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his 17 and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was 18 to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on.

请根据需要填入Script：

Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated in many languages.
Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones (含意).
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology and come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.

21.When did science fiction first appear?
A.Thousands of years ago.
B.Hundreds of years ago.
C.About fifty years ago.
D.A few years ago.

正确答案：A
请根据需要填入Script：

(1) Let us take a look at the chief thing in the story ― the human body itself. (2)A human body appears to be rather soft and delicate, compared with that of a wild animal, but it is actually surprisingly strong. (3)Indeed, its very softness and looseness is an advantage: it makes man good at moving about and falling about in safety. (4)Man is the most skilful in movement of all living things of his own size, because he can do so many different things with his limbs. Man's games show how he can control his won body. No other land creature can swim as skillfully as man; none has such varied grace; very few live as long as he; none is so strong in its natural resistance to disease. Therefore man has a great advantage in his battle against the risks of damage and death that threaten him. It is difficult to kill him so long as he is fed and in good health. Yet every day thousands of people die needlessly, even though man is naturally strong, because those two killers, disease and starvation, win the battle.
No one can live forever, so one might suppose that quite a large number of old people would come to the end of their days every year. There is, however, another thing to remember. During the time it has taken you to read this page, a considerable number of babies have been born somewhere in the world ― one is born every one and a quarter seconds! Of these babies, one group can be expected to have a good long life of about seventy years, because they are lucky enough to be born in countries where living standards are high.
The deadliest of all killers are starvation and disease. We cannot be content until we have mastered them. To do so is one of the most important tasks of our time.

26.The softness and looseness of man's body is an advantage because it ____________.
A.helps him to avoid injury
B.makes him strong
C.keeps him in good health
D.makes him live longer
