I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there were a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourthso I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “Ill give you twenty pounds.” “Its got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, but its nothing.”Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? Youve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. Im sorry; Ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it. ” “Your must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ” “Youre right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But Ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver (五镑钞票)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.21. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _.

Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturityor so we hope. We all like to imagine that were getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? Thats a different story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “Youre as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (卑视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudelyeven cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).28. The main idea of the third paragraph is_. A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money B. many old people in America are leading a hard life C. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65 D. American social security benefits are not good29. From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replaced by_. A. seriousB. badC. disappearing slowlyD. growing fast30. From this passage we can know_. A. in America, growing up is not a wonderful process B. in America, growing up is as wonderful a process as growing old C. in America, growing up is a wonderful process, while growing old is not D. in America, growing old is a wonderful process, while growing up is not31. What should be mentioned in the following paragraph? A. The public will change their attitude towards old people. B. People will provide more services to the old in their communities. C. Companies will soon produce more goods for old Americans. D. The government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of the people.DTo many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing prey (猎物), meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a man cast away on an island of solid rock, totally out of touch and destined to starve to death. So important is the web to an orb-web spiders survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier (憔悴的), it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands (线). Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider. The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and re-uses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactively labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next days web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down. Scientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spiders highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate (无脊椎动物). If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finished building a normal web. One spider will even finish building the incomplete web of another. 32. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Secrets of Spiders AdaptabilityB. Importance of Webs to SpidersC. Secrets of the Spiders Life D. Spiders Highly Preprogrammed Brain 33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Web-building spiders have good eyesight.B. One web-building spider usually conducts one web.C. Most spiders will stop conducting webs when hungry.D. Web-building spiders will probably die without their webs.34. A spider conducts a wider-meshed web when _. A. it is 16 days oldB. it is getting weakerC. it has fewer strandsD. it hunts for food35. A spiders ability to finish an incomplete web proves that _. A. it has a highly preprogrammed brain B. it reuses its web protein to reproduce new silk C. the web is everything for a spider D. it is able to rebuild a destroyed web 其次节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（假如所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B，选F涂A、C，选G涂A、D） 36 This date was the old mid-winter festival in pre-Christmas times, around the time of the longest night and the shortest day. Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions: Christmas trees, cards and presents. Shops can make about 60 percent of their years income in the three months before Christmas, so most shops get ready for it in October. 37 The first time this happened was in 1867 when Macys famous shop in New York, stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve.By mid-December, almost every shop and street has a Christmas tree. 38 In the northern countries, winter is cold and dark and most trees are decorated with lights and colored glass balls to give people hope that spring will come.Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair, red coat and big bag of toys. Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them. 39 On Christmas Day a traditional meal is eaten, usually a turkey and a rich, spicy cake. Some people hate Christmas. 40 They love seeing family and friends; they also love the traditions.
