I didnt foresee any great difficulty in getting it mended, as there are
25、a whole lot of antique shops on Pimlico Road which is three minutes walk from my fiat, so I set forth one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop confidently expecting a friendly reception, with a kindly man saying, “What a charming chair! Yes, thats quite a simple job. When w
26、ould you want it back? “I was quite wrong. I wasnt too concerned; after all, it was only the first try and there are many more shops on both sides of the road.The reaction at the second shop, though slightly politer, was just the same, and at the third and the fourthso I decided that my approach mus
27、t be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with some confidence because I had thought of a plan. I placed the chair gently on the floor, then the rather fierce shop owner looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad little chair, how much do you want for it?“ “20,“ I said. “Its got a slightly broken
28、leg,“ I said. “Yes, I saw that. Its nothing; dont worry about it. “what will you do with it?“ I asked. “Oh, it will be very saleable once the repair is done, I like the bit of old green velvet on the top, I shall leave that, yes, very saleable. “ “Ill buy it,“ I said. “Yes, I know, but Ive changed m
29、y mind; as a matter of fact, it is just what Im looking for. Ive got a pair to it at home; Ill give you 27 for it.“ “You must be crazy,“ he said; then suddenly the penny dropped and he smiled and said, “I know what you want, you want me to mend your chair.“And what would you have done if I had walke
30、d in and asked you to repair it for me?“ “I wouldnt have done it,“ he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much of a nuisance(麻烦事情), but Ill mend this for you. “（分数：10.00）(1).The author was not worded about the broken leg of the chair at first because_.（分数：2.00）A.his flat was ve
31、ry near the antique shopsB.he knew it was easy to mend itC.there were so many antique shops selling chairsD.he thought it was easy for him to find someone to repair it(2).When the author came to the first antique shop,_.（分数：2.00）A.he was greeted kindlyB.he was quite confidentC.there was no one in th
32、e shopD.the man in the shop had a look at the chair(3).In the fifth shop, he placed the chair gently on the floor because_.（分数：2.00）A.he wanted to hide the fact that the chair was brokenB.the chair had a broken legC.the chair was very valuableD.he thought of a plan to have the chair repaired(4).The

34、 of money for itB.giving the shop owner a lot of troubleC.making fun of the shop ownerD.amusing the shop ownerBText 2/BAlthough one might not think so from some of the criticism of it, advertising is essential to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom, and a very considerable prop
35、ortion of the world at large, live. Advertising is indispensable as a means of communicating with others, of telling them about the goods and services that are provided, and of which most of them would never get to hear at all if it were not. for advertising. And advertising is extremely helpful to
36、promote a rising standard of living.In talking about advertising, one should not think only in terms of a commercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or periodicals. In its widest sense, advertising includes a host of other activities such as packaging, shop displays andin the se
37、nse of communicationeven the spoken word of the salesman. After all, the resources of advertising are to be found in the market place.For many years it was considered that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has become increasingly understood that the
38、 manufacture of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time span. In the competitive society in which we live, it is important that we go out and sell what we have, and advertising plays an important role in this aspect, whether selling at ho
39、me or in export markets.About two percent of the UK gross national product is relied on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Certainly, advertising does try to attract the interest of the potential consumer, but if the a
40、rticle when purchased does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously exceedingly unlikely that the article will sell well.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the text advertising is important to_.（分数：2.00）A.every potential consumer in the worldB.large countries
41、 in the worldC.people with a high standard of livingD.a large number of people in the world(2).Advertising has its origins in_.（分数：2.00）A.shop window displays and the wrapping of goodsB.face to face contact between sellers and buyersC.the communicative abilities of a trained sales personD.articles i
42、n newspapers and magazines(3).People have realized that resources are wasted if goods_.（分数：2.00）A.are not of lasting valueB.are not sold at a high priceC.remain unsold for a long timeD.remained unsold in export markets(4).The text makes a point that goods will sell well if_.（分数：2.00）A.advertisements
43、 show the true value of themB.enough money is spent on advertisingC.advertisements are well designedD.they are of high quality(5).The best title of this passage would be_.（分数：2.00）A.Benefits of AdvertisingB.A Brief History of Advertising in the UKC.Limitations of AdvertisingD.Production and Advertis
44、ingBText 3/BCompanies with large scale need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, with a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums require from friends and
45、 people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, persuading people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in futur
46、e profits. Thus they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. Only by doing so can they put into circulation the savings of individuals both at home and abroad.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed
47、 it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other savers who is earnest to invest his money.A lot of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. The governments at all levels furnish us with hospitals, roads, elec
48、tricity, telephones, equipment and other new development. The money raised through taxes alone cant serve us properly. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to support major capital expenses, and they too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose living standard does not rely on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another, the money needed must be gathered from
