C、What about you?
D、That's a good idea.
参考答案:D
解析:
【答案】D【解析】此句为建议并邀请对方共同行动的日常用语，应答必须是赞同或否定。A项回答是“好哇，那是对的”，B项回答是“不，我不能”，C项完全不对，既然人家邀请你，你怎么能反问“你呢？”。只有D 项，“好主意！”才是最佳选项。

A、No, thanks.
B、No, I wouldn't.
C、Yes, I want.
D、Yes, I like.

4、- Good-bye for now. - _________
A、The same to you.
B、That's OK.
C、See you.
D、Long time no see.
参考答案:C

5、- Is it possible for you to work late tonight? - _______
A、I like it.
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 cushion 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.
