25、rrassing experienceIt was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I 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 t

26、he British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable 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 quest

27、ion, “have you read this?“ I replied with extreme foolishness, “Yes, hundreds of times. “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 s

28、eemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly 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, s

29、topped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, 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 gr

30、ateful if he would confiscate the replacement.“It is not a question of confiscation, “ 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 sear

31、ch my luggage.（分数：10.00）(1).When did the writer arrive at London airport?A. In the early morning.B. Late at night.C. At noon.D. Late in the morning.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?A. He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usu

35、 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 doesnt love you 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 vulner

36、able 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, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand frst?“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal, “ says psychologist Sidney Cr

37、own. “But love is seldom equal. “ All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. “That feeling of Ive 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 squabbl

38、ing (大声争吵). “ In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings, “ says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “

39、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 the one who says Im 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 the

40、yre drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is Please dont be unfaithful to me? By saying I love you , they really saying Do you love me? If so, wouldnt it just be more honest to say that?“ Collins agrees that intention is everything. “Its not what is sa

41、id, but how its said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker. /（分数：10.00）(1).What is the main idea of this passage?A. The importance of “I love you“.B.

44、e you“ to you?A. The intention. B. The place.C. The time. D. The determination.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)At the European Commission in Brussels, they have a joke about the work interpreters do “Languages“, they say, “have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them. “Anyo

45、ne 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 international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various interna

46、tional translators or interpreters associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accrediting organizations own school. or on a postgraduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job. At Londons Universit

47、y of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreters course if they can show that they have “lived a bit“ , in the words of one lecture. Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life.The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long

48、time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of current affairs. This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament (裁军) on Monday, internationa

49、l fishing rights on Tuesday, multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry on Thursday.Interpreters also rely on adrenaline (肾上腺素) which is caused by the stress and challenges of the jobto keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit that they enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and its known that their heart rates speed up while they are working.Its also a job with its own risks and excitement. Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centers
