you may _8_more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” thinking that sams_9_was sensible,he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “for sale: small car, _10_ very little petrol, only two owners. bargain at 50.”for two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no _11_.but then on saturday evening he had an enquiry(询问).a man rang up and said he would like to_12_ him about the car. “all right,” dave said, feeling happy. he asked the man whether ten oclock the next morning would be_13_or not. “fine,” the man said, “and ill _14_my wife. we intend to go for a ride in it to _15_ it.”the next morning, at a quarter to ten, dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, _16_ to wait there for the people who had_17_ his advertisement. even dave had to _18_that the car really looked like a wreck(残骸).then, soon after he had got the car as clean_19_ it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out. he looked at daves car and then said, “have you reported this _20_ to us yet, sir?”1. a. directly b. safely c. properly d. easily2. a. so b. such c. very d. too3. a. keep b. repair c. sell d. throw4. a. anxious b. lucky c. ashamed d. generous5. a. some b. neither c. none d. most6. a. delighted b. upset c. calm d. astonished7. a. on b. up c. it d. that8. a. learn b. miss c. get d. find9. a. message b. advice c. request d. description10. a. uses b. loses c. has d. spends11. a. doubt b. help c. trouble d. answer12. a. tell b. see c. agree d. call13. a. exact b. suitable c. early d. late14. a. follow b. meet c. bring d. introduce15. a. recognize b. gain c. admire d. test16. a. happening b. meaning c. turning d. failing17. a. read b. inserted c. answered d. placed18. a. forget b. show c. disagree d. admit19. a. as b. that c. so d. such20. a. bargain b. sale c. accident d. resultii、阅读：（40分）aisnt it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food? “have you ever eaten ?” “what did you have for lunch?” and so on. and yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. people often feel that what they eat is normal (正常) and that what other people eat is strange or silly. in most parts of asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. in england, people eat potatoes every day. in the middle east, bread is the main part of every meal. eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. the english drink tea four or five times every day. australians drink a great deal of beer, and the french drink wine every day. the sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. horse meat is thought to be delicious in france. in hong kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. new zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. the japanese dont like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生鱼). so it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it. people everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.21. which of the following is true according to the article?a. all people have the same feeling about food. b. in most parts of asia, people usually have rice for meals. c. people often consider other people to be strange or silly. d. the topic people spend time talking about is bread and meat.22. people in different countries _ . a. drink the same sort of wine b. have the same eating habit c. eat different kinds of meat d. have the same tea at different time within a day23. the japanese dont like to eat sheep meat _ . a. because they dislike its smell b. because it is too expensive c. because it is easy to go bad d. because they think it will do harm to their health 24. english people drink tea four or five times a day _ .a. because they get thirsty easily b. because there is plenty of tea in britain c. because of their drinking habit d. because they have enough time to do sob the fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. if they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected (影响) by color without knowing it. salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings (包装), that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste ,and that cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packed in brown. these discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology (心理学). some of our preferences (偏爱) are clearly psychological. dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on peoples mind. people in bright red surroundings (环境) show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure. red is exciting. pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars. 25. the passage tells us that salesmen have _. a. found out that colors affect sales b. discovered the relationship between color and psychology c. tried colors on blind people d. developed a special subject of color psychology 26. if people are exposed to pure blue, _. a. their body pressure rises b. they wont easily feel nervous c. they want to taste blue foods d. they will feel like buying things27. which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage? a. color and feelings b. colors and sales c. the blind and colors d. preferences for colors c antarctica, with its seemingly endless icy beauty, is one place where one look is worth a thousand words. my own dream to see it came true last january when i joined the sixth exploration crew(考查队) of the china national marine bureau. we spent 10 days connecting flights to reach our goal, but finally arrived at the great wall station on antarctica on the eve of chinese new year.there are only two seasons in antarctica: winter and summer. you get polar nights in winter and polar days in summer. day is longer than night in summer, and the temperature often reaches below zero. luckily, there are no snowstorms in summer, which makes it the best season to travel. what i imagined before starting for antarctica was a world of ice, storms, endless cold and loneliness. when i stopped on antarctica for the first time, however, i saw rich, energetic and beautiful scenery that was beyond anything i had imagined.we only spent 11 days at the south pole, but every minute was spent taking pictures and losing our heart to the wonderland. beauty enveloped us as we watched the world around us. the mountains, oceans, ice, snow, sky, earth and people all seemed to have their own stories.rocks from antarctica are considered valuable. unfortunately, i didnt bring one back. however, my heavy bags full of films are certainly worth that. it is in these pi
