14、ce, I am going to have my bath today.Now most people find it fairly simple to have a bath. You probably remember how it goes. You enter the bathroom, you put the plug in, turn on the hot water, get into the bath, wash, sing, get out, dry yourself and exit. My aunts approach was more epic(宏大的), like
15、one of those long Eisenstein films where people seem to be climbing up the same flight of stairs forever.My aunt would first slowly collect her clean linen(亚麻布衬衫), so as to have it all ready for changing into after her bath. This involved sorting out her linen, which took up most of the morning. Som
16、etimes she would find an old letter buried among her linen, become interested in the memories it aroused and have to postpone the bath until the next day. But if all went well, she would have a bite of lunch and start Phase Two around two oclock.Phase Two was washing out the bath. She would wash the
17、 bath very thoroughly, rinse(冲洗) it with running cold water, rewash it and then carefully feel the whole surface with her fingers. If there was the slightest blemish, she would clean the whole bath out again. This took about an hour. Then she would fill the bath.By this time she was feeling a bit hu
18、ngry and exhausted. So she would put on the kettle for a cup of tea. Several cups of tea and several cream crackers (her favourite food) later, she would go back to the bathroom. And find the water stone cold.1).She would never fill the bath until she _.A、had cleaned it at least three timesB、had had

20、off bathing until the next day?_A、She might get fascinated by an old letter.B、She would sometimes get too tired.C、She would sometimes have lunch instead.D、She might start ironing the linen.4).How did she use to spend most of the morning?_A、Reading old letters.B、Preparing lunch.C、Getting the bath wat
21、er hot.D、Sorting out her linen.5).The writers aunt _.A、never got used to taking a bath regularlyB、always treated bathtime as an eventC、hated climbing the stairs to the bathroomD、would collect her new linen quickly2.Parrots are becoming one of the most popular pets in America - and for good reason. T
22、he parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk, can be easily cared for, and can create a lively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energetic parrot owner, a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trained to say Pretty boy or Polly wants a cracke
23、r, and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird, training a parrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stream of chatter. Another reason for the parrots popularity is that this pet does not require much care. For example, even a spoiled parrot does n
24、ot need a house sitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. In fact, a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five days and have no fear that the parrot will overeat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and
25、 grain - along with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it is a combination of tameness and wildness. Because the parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companion for many people. In addition, beca
26、use it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same time, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrots native home, the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly valued gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated by a growing number of peopl
27、e.1).The writer _.A、likes the parrotB、dislikes the parrotC、does not like nor dislike the parrotD、values the parrot highly2).A parrot can be trained to do all the following but _.A、talkB、help its ownerC、singD、create a lively atmosphere3).The word jungle probably means _.A、boundless desert with very l
28、ittle plant lifeB、large apartment building with pleasing surroundingsC、wild land overgrown with thick bushes and treesD、snow-covered mountain top in very cold areas.4).The word tameness in the passage means _.A、the quality of being brave or unafraidB、the quality of being kind or warm-heartedC、the qu
29、ality of being uncontrollable or fierceD、the quality of being gentle or trained5).Which of the following is NOT a reason for the easy raising of the parrot? _A、It eats very little.B、Its food is inexpensive.C、It does not need a house sitter.D、It does not require daily walks as dogs do.3.Advertising c
30、an be thought of as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services. Advertising aims to increase peoples awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method. Magazines are used to
31、 reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Posters are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibition
32、s and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising.There can be no doubt that the growth in advertising is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and patent medicines have been built up largely by
33、 advertising. We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid for by the manufacturer or by the customer. Since advertising forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising. However, if large scale a
34、dvertising leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertising on sales. When the market is growing, advertising helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertising may prevent a bigger fa
35、ll in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them.1).Large scale in the third paragraph means_.A、expensiveB、well-balancedC、extensiveD、colorful2).Advertising is often used to_.A、d
36、eceive customersB、increase productionC、arouse suspicionD、push the sale3).Advertising is in the main paid for by_.A、the customerB、the manufacturerC、increased salesD、reduced prices4).According to the passage, trade fairs 1st paragraph may_.A、replace exhibitions and marketsB、attract possible customersC
37、、offer fun and amusementD、provide cheap goods5).The word media 1st paragraph refers to_.A、the pressB、televisionC、radioD、all of the above4.Are you looking for a good book to read? Do you need information about universities in the United States? Do you want to know the correct price of a used car? Wou
38、ld you like to read newspapers and magazines from different countries? Do you need a quiet place to study? Did you answer yes to any of these questions? Then you should visit the information place - your local library.A library is more than just a place where books are stored. A library is a source
39、of information. That information may come from books (fiction, nonfiction, or reference books), from periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and journals), from audio-visual material (records, cassettes microfilm, video tapes, etc.) or even from a computer terminal.Students go to libraries to study and
40、to write research papers. The periodicals room of a university library is where foreign students often find newspapers and magazines from their countries. In the reference room, they can find catalogs from many universities in the U.S. and other countries. If you are buying a used car, the reference
41、 librarian can show you the Blue Book, which lists the prices of new and used cars. People who need information in a burry can telephone the reference librarian at many libraries.There are as many different library services as there are types of people who use them. Childrens libraries provide mater
42、ials for young readers. They sometimes have storytellers who read stories to groups of children, and a few have computers for the children to play with. Music lovers can listen to recordings of their favorite musicians in music libraries. Some libraries have painting and sculpture exhibits, and most
43、 libraries offer special services for blind people, such as books in Braille, talking books, and Kurzweil Reading Machines.Libraries provide entertainment as well as information. Novels and short stories from a librarys fiction collection are a good source of enjoyable reading practice. Public libraries often sponsor lectures on topics of interest to members of the community, and a few even offer concerts and films. No matter what your interests are, you will find that a li
