　　Part Ⅱ

　　Reading Comprehension(35 minutes)

　　Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some

　　questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

　　Passage One

　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

　　If, at the end of a conversation somebody says to me, “as soon as I know, I’ll ring you up”, he is talking too much for granted. He is proposing to attempt the

　　impossible. So I have to say, “I’m afraid you can’t. You see. I’m not on the telephone. I just haven’t got a telephone.”

　　Why don’t you have a telephone Not because I pretend to cet4v.com as unusual. There are two chief reasons: because I don’t really like the telephone I find I can still work and play, eat, breathe and sleep without it. Why don’t I like the telephone Because I think it is a pest and a time-waster. It may create unnecessary suspense and anxiety, as when you wait for an expected call that doesn’t come; or irritating delay, as when you keep ringing a number that is always

　　engaged. As for speaking in a public telephone box, which seems to me really horrible. You would not use it unless you were in a hurry, and because you are in a

　　hurry you will find other people waiting before you. When you do get into the box, you are half asphyxiated by stale, unventilated air, flavored with cheap face

　　-powder and chain-smoking; and by the time you have begun your conversation your

　　back is chilled by the cold look of somebody who is fidgeting to take your place.If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring

　　when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath.

　　Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself, “Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years’ time.You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number

　　Suppose you ignore the telephone when it rings, and suppose that, for once, somebody has an important message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Think of the proverb: “ill news travels apace.” I must say good news seems to travel just as fast. And think of the saying: “the truth will out.” It will.

　　21. The write does not like telephone in a public telephone box, because____.

　　A) unventilated air

　　B) it is far from his home

　　C) it is not convenient

　　D) he must pay for it

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

　　Spending time in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely go there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a cet4v.com attractive dust-jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize

　　you have spend too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment-without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such placesto your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: “can I help you, sir” You needn’t buy anything you

　　don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.

This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and

　　the part of the text you read proved so interesting, that you just had to buy it

　　. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account

　　, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.

　　Book-seller must be both long-suffering and indulgent. There is a story which well illustrates this. A medical student had to read a text-book which was far too

　　expensive for him to buy. He couldn’t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in his bookshop. cet4v.com, therefore, he would go a

　　long to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was dismayed to find the book missing from its usual place and was about to leave when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book, which was tucked away in a corner, “I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it,” he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.

　　26. Spending time in a bookshop____.

　　A) can be very much enjoy

　　B) can be very pleasant

　　C) can be pleasure-giving

　　D) can give you the greatest pleasure

　　27. When you enter the bookshop to find a book, you will ____.

　　A) become completely absorbed in the books without realizing where you are.

　　B) become completely lost without any knowledge of your whereabouts.

　　C) become completely unconscious in the bookshop.

　　D) lose any sense of direction as to where you are.

　　28. How should book sellers do

　　A) He should be both suffer for a long time and satisfy customers’ wishes.

　　B) He should be both endure and indulge for a long time.

　　C) He should be both tender and lenient.

　　D) He should be both patient and kind.

　　29.Why did the owner of the shop put the book in a cornerA) He put it there in case anyone was persuaded to buy it

　　B) He put it there in case anyone was inclined to buy it.

　　C) He put it there in case anyone was attracted to buy it.D) He put it there in case anyone was fascinated to buy it.

　　30.How should an assistant do in a good shop
