29、had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods li

30、able to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, “have you read this?“ I replied with extreme foolishness,“ Yes, hundreds of times. “ “

31、And you have nothing to declare?“ “Nothing.“ “How long have you been out of this country?“ “About three months.“ “And during that time you have acquired nothing?“ “Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was u

32、tterly unexpected. “Where did you get that watch?“ I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six penc

33、e, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey. I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement. “It is not a question of confisc

34、ation,“ he said, “there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?“ It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage. 46 When did the writer arrive at London airport? （ A） In the ea

35、rly morning. （ B） Late at night. （ C） At noon. （ D） Late in the morning. 47 What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer? （ A） He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions. （ B） He must have noticed the writers ugly watch. （ C） He wanted to embarras

36、s the writer. （ D） He must have noticed the writers tiredness. 48 What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market? （ A） He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex. （ B） He found the watch useful though it was very cheap. （ C） He didnt like the watch at all. （ D） He was indifferen

38、n confiscated. 50 What do you think is the tone of the story? （ A） Humorous. （ B） Sarcastic. （ C） Solemn. （ D） Matter-of-fact. 50 You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you“ because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life. What if you say it first and your partner doesn t love you

39、back? Or if they do say it but you dont feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(紧张 ) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesnt it pay to hold back, pla

40、y it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first? “A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal,“ says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.“ All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years,

41、 the rot will set in. “That feeling of I ve always loved you more may be subverted(颠覆，破坏 ) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵 ).“ In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship i

42、s often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,“ says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says I love you first may also be th

43、e one who says I m bored with you first. “ Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you“ is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when they re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is Please dont be unfaithful to me ? By sa

44、ying I love you, they really saying Do you love me? If so, wouldn t it just be more honest to say that?“ Collins agrees that intention is everything. “It s not what is said, but how it s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker. 51 What is the main idea of this passage? （ A） The i

48、erpreters do Languages“, they say, “have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them. “Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far more than mere linguistic ability. To work in an inte

49、rnational organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or interpreters associations.
