29、 upon （ D） at Part A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 There was one thing I found rather strange on my first day at Monks House. The bathroom was directly above the kitchen and when Mrs. Gr
30、ane was bathing before breakfast. I could, through the thin floor, hear her whispering to herself, asking questions and giving herself the answers. When Mr. Crane saw that I looked so surprised he told me that Mrs. Crane always said the sentences out loud that she had written at night. She wanted to
31、 know if they sounded right and the bath was a good place for trying them out. Every morning, when we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs. Cranes room I noticed that she had always been working during the night. There were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and
32、sometimes it seemed as if she had got very little sleep. Mrs. Cranes bedroom was outside the house in the garden; I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed. Her bedroom had been added on to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window at
33、the side opened out to a field. I remember that a cow came one night and put its head in through the window. It amused Mrs. Crane very much, but in case it happened again Mr. Crane bought the field adding part of it to the garden. Because the writing room was small, he had a larger one built for her
34、 at the end of the garden against the church wall. She was tall and thin and very graceful. She had large, deep-set eyes and a wide curving mouth I think perhaps it was this that made her face seem particularly beautiful. Mrs. Crane wore clothes that suited her well. She was not capable of sewing, a
35、lthough sometimes she liked to try. There was one thing in the kitchen that Mrs. Crane carried it out. She returned two or three times a morning to work at it. At last she made it into the shape of a cottage loaf and baked it at just the right temperature. 46 When she arrived at Monks House, the wri
36、ter _. （ A） founded everything strange （ B） thought the planning of the house was unusual （ C） had no one to talk to （ D） was surprised at Mrs. Cranes way of checking her work 47 Each morning Mrs. Crane _. （ A） asked her husband to carry in the breakfast （ B） did some work as soon as she woke up （ C
37、） had breakfast in the kitchen （ D） had breakfast brought to her 48 Why did Mr. Crane buy the field? （ A） So that Mrs. Crane didnt have to go out in the rain to go to bed. （ B） So that there would be more space between his wifes bedroom and the field. （ C） To build a writing-room. （ D） To build a be
38、droom. 49 Baking beautiful bread, according to the writer _. （ A） was the only thing Mrs. Crane was good at （ B） was something she liked to try occasionally （ C） brought her into the kitchen several times in the morning （ D） pleased her only when it was baked at the right temperature 50 The main ide
39、a of the passage is that _. （ A） Mrs. Crane was a great writer who would make her works as sure as possible （ B） Mrs. Crane became a good writer who would make her works as sure as possible （ C） the author gives a general description of Mrs. Cranes life （ D） Mrs. Crane was a good housekeeper as well
40、 as a great writer 50 Although 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 proportion of the world at large, rive. Advertising is indispensable as a means of commnuicating with
41、 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 promote a rising standard of riving. In talking about advertising, one should not think only in te
42、rms 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 and - in the sense of communication - even the spoken word of the salesman. After all, the resources of adver
43、tising 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 manufacture of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair pri
44、ce 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 home or in export markets. About two percent of the UK gross national product is relied on a
45、dvertising. 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 article when purchased does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests th
46、at it will, it is obviously exceedingly unlikely that the article will sell well. 51 According to the text advertising is important to _. （ A） every potential consumer in the world （ B） large countries in the world （ C） people with a high standard of living （ D） a large number of people in the world
47、 52 Advertising has its origins in _. （ A） shop window displays and the wrapping of goods （ B） face to face contact between sellers and buyers （ C） the communicative abilities of a trained sales person （ D） articles in newspapers and magazines 53 People have realized that resources are wasted if goo
48、ds. （ A） are not of lasting value （ B） are not sold at a high price （ C） remain unsold for a long time （ D） remained unsold in export markets 54 The text makes a point that goods will sell well if _. （ A） advertisements show the true value of them （ B） enough money is spent on advertising （ C） adver
49、tisements are well designed （ D） they are of high quality 55 The best title of this passage would be _. （ A） Benefits of Advertising （ B） A Brief History of Advertising in the UK （ C） Limitations of Advertising （ D） Production and Advertising 55 “Now were more than halfway; only two miles away from the tavern, “ said the driver. “Im glad of that!“ answered the stranger, in a sympath
