25、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 the British customs to open a single bag or to do

26、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 question, “have you read this?“ I replied with extreme

27、 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 seemed momentarily at a loss, but th

28、en 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, stopped. I had gone into the marke

29、t 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 grateful if he would confiscate th

30、e 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 search my luggage. 46 When did the

31、 writer arrive at London airport? （ A） In the early 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 th

32、e writers ugly watch. （ C） He wanted to embarrass 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 did

33、n t like the watch at all. （ D） He was indifferent to the watch. 49 What must have happened to the writer in the end? （ A） He must have spent a long time at the customs and must have been let go without any punishment. （ B） He must have been given a fine as a punishment. （ C） His Rolex must have bee

34、n confiscated. （ D） His cheap watch must have been 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 yo

35、u say it first and your partner doesn t 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 vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a posit

36、ion of weakness? Doesnt it pay to hold back, play 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

37、, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, 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 e-merges in squabbhng(大声争吵 ). “ In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the mo

38、st 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. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact,

39、 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 they re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it rea

40、lly means is Please don t be unfaithful to me ? By saying 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

41、. “ 51 What is the main idea of this passage? （ A） The importance of “I love you“. （ B） The meaning of “I love you“. （ C） The time of saying “I love you“. （ D） The place of saying “I love you“. 52 In the first sentence the author means that_. （ A） it is easy to say “I love you“ （ B） it is hard to sa

42、y “I love you“ （ C） we have many troubles in our life （ D） people usually do not know when to say “I love you“ 53 According to the expert, a good relationship should be_. （ A） fair and equal （ B） fair and kind （ C） powerful and equal （ D） confident and fair 54 In the third paragraph, the phrase “wit

43、h the upper hand“ means . （ A） being low in spirit （ B） having only one hand （ C） being active （ D） being passive 55 What is the most important for you to consider when somebody say “I love you“ to you? （ A） The intention. （ B） The place. （ C） The time. （ D） The determination. 55 At the European Com

44、mission 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. “Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves

45、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 international translators or interpreters associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accredit

46、ing organization s own school, or on a postgraduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job. At London s University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreter s course if they can show that they have “lived a bit“ , in the word

47、s 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 time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good kno

48、wledge of current affairs. This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament(裁军 )on Monday, international fishing rights on Tuesday, multinational finance on Wednesday , and the building and construction industry on Thursday. Interpreters

49、also rely on adrenaline(肾上腺素 ) which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job to keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit that they enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and it s known that their heart rates speed up while they are working. It s also a job with its own risks and excitement. Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centers of internation
