15、, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.29 Auctions (拍卖) are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowd to

16、 gather in the auction room to bid (出价，喊价) for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down“ the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a raised pl

17、atform.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin “auction“, meaning “increase“. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war; these sales were called “sub hasta“, meaning “under the spear (矛)“, a spear being stuck in the ground as

18、 a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold “by the candle“; a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it was burning.Practically all goods can be sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea,

19、cocoa, furs, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and works of art. The auction rooms at Christies and Sothebys in London and New York are world famous.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full

20、 particulars(细节)of the articles to be sold and where when they can be viewed by the buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together called a “lot“, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot One and con

21、tinue the numerical order, he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneers services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a di

22、rect interest in pushing up the bidding.29 Auctioned goods are sold _.（A）for the highest price offered（B） at fixed prices（C） at prices lower than their true value（D）at prices offered by the auctioneer30 The end of the bidding is called “knocking down“ because _.（A）the auctioneer knocks on the table（

23、B） the auctioneer names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods（C） the goods are knocked down onto the table（D）the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer31 In the sentence “The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war“ (Lines 2-3, Paragraph 2), the word “spoils“ most probably m

24、eans _.（A）useless goods（B） spears（C） various kinds of food（D）property taken from the enemy32 In England a candle used to burn at auction sales _.（A）because the auction sales took place at night（B） as a signal for the crowd to gather（C） to keep the auction room warm（D）to limit the time when offers of

25、 prices could be made33 An auction catalogue gives buyers _.（A）the current market values of the goods（B） details of the goods to be sold（C） the order in which goods are to be sold（D）free admission to the auction saleTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.

27、wrong.The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take them seriously.

28、 into such a rare disease.However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error (反复实验), they finally created a cure from ingredients (调料) commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named“ Lorenzos

29、 Oil“, saved the boys life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory. As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it.Finally, the boys father organiz

30、ed an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keeps ALD children healthy.34 Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because _.（A）they had never treated the disease before（B） Lorenzo was too young to be, cured（C） no cure had been found for
