28、n ANSWER SHEET 1. 46 Some time ago, I discovered that one of the chairs in my front hall had a broken leg; I didnt foresee any great difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops on Pimlico Road which is three minutes walk from my flat, so I set forth one morning carryin

29、g 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 would you want it back?“ I was quite wrong. I wasnt too concerned; after all, it was only the first try and there are many

30、 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 must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with some confidence because I had thought of a plan. I placed the chair gently on

31、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 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

32、 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 my 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.“ “Yo

33、u 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 walked 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

34、 and too much of a nuisance(麻烦事情 ), but Ill mend this for you.“ 46 The author was not worried about the broken leg of the chair at first because _. （ A） his flat was very near the antique shops （ B） he knew it was easy to mend it （ C） there were so many antique shops selling chairs （ D） he thought i

35、t was easy for him to find someone to repair it 47 When the author came to the first antique shop, _. （ A） he was greeted kindly （ B） he was quite confident （ C） there was no one in the shop （ D） the man in the shop had a look at the chair 48 In the fifth shop, he placed the chair gently on the floo

36、r because _. （ A） he wanted to hide the fact that the chair was broken （ B） the chair had a broken leg （ C） the chair was very valuable （ D） he thought of a plan to have the chair repaired 49 The shop owner agreed to buy the chair because _. （ A） he wanted to keep the old green velvet on the top of

37、the chair （ B） he found the author amusing （ C） he thought he could sell the chair for a profit （ D） the author begged him to do so 50 The author finally got his chair repaired by _. （ A） paying a lot of money for it （ B） giving the shop owner a lot of trouble （ C） making fun of the shop owner （ D）

38、amusing the shop owner 51 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, live. Advertising is indispensable as a means of communicating

39、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 promote a rising standard of living. In talking about advertising, one should not think only i

40、n 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 sense of communicationeven the spoken word of the salesman. After ail, the resources of adverti

41、sing 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 price

42、 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 adv

43、ertising. 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 dries not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests tha

44、t 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

45、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 good

46、s _. （ 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） adve

47、rtisements 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 56 Companies with large scale need a way to reach the sa

48、vings of the public at large. The same problem, on 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 people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short term fi

49、nance, 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 future 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
