Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. You must face the fact that in your inmost heart you hate the thought of moving. It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity.Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process.Your first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up.At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement (底下层), which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.1. The passage concerns _. A. buying a house for a newly married couple B. buying a large house for a growing family C. buying a better house when people have more money to spend D. buying a smaller house for older people whose children have left home 2. The passage implies that grown-up children are _. A. more friendly to their parents when they are grown up B. distant from their parents C. friendly but not very close D. annoying 3. The author decided to move _. A. when his house gave him too much work and cost too much to run B. when he grew tired of his house C. when he suddenly got the strength to do so D. before the house collapsed 4. The author advises people in his own situation _. A. to move into a very small house B. to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces of furniture will fit C. not to move too far from the main road D. to choose somewhere not so noisy 5. According to the passage, the new house had _. A. two floors B. three floors C. four floors D. two bathrooms Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. For most people learning to drive, the driving test arises ahead as a major barrier. It is also a general source of conversation whenever drivers are gathered together. There are probably more tall stories about the driving test than about any other motoring subjects; the most remarkable thing about those stories is the number of times the old ones appear again, years after they were first heard, in new and exaggerated forms.All driving examiners have had to pass a very strict selection process, followed by at least six weeks training. In the course of this training the Department makes sure that their driving is of a consistently high standard.Driving test centers are chosen with equal care. It would be nice to have centers and examiners town by town. But this is just not possible, because the centers have to be at places where there is enough parking space for candidates (考生) and where there are enough test routes. Routes are carefully chosen to make sure that they are all roughly comparable-the proportion of right and left turns, hills, pedestrian (行人) crossings and so on. The object of all this is to make sure, as far as possible, that all candidates in the driving test have to cope with the same sort of conditions whether they take the test in New York or California.The work that examiners do in actually carrying out tests is checked continuously by supervising examiners. This is to make as sure as possible that every candidate for the driving test has a proper and equal chance of showing the examiner, in the words of the Regulations, that he is competent to drive without danger to and with due consideration for other users of the road. This is all that the examiner is concerned with.6. It can be learned from the passage that _. A. whenever people learning to drive get together, they often talk about the driving test B. new and exaggerated stories about the test are always appearing C. there are more tall stories about the driving test than any other subject D. the same stories about the test reappear years later 7. According to the passage, driving examiners _. A. are trained for six weeks, then have a difficult selection interview B. are given regular driving tests themselves by supervising examiners C. sometimes have more than six weeks training D. are tested during the selection process to see if their driving is of a high standard 8. There isnt a test center in every town because _. A. some examiners can go to occasional centers from the permanent centers B. routes and conditions have to be the same everywhere C. there has to be enough parking space for the candidates and the examiners D. not every town could provide enough test
