Task 1 Directions: After reading the follow

17、ing passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 34 Auctions (拍卖 ) are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked

18、 the crowd to gather in the auction room to bid (出价，喊价 ) for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down“ the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer

19、on a raised platform. The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin “auction“, meaning “increase“. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war; these sales were called “sub hasta“, meaning “under the spear (矛 )“, a spear being stuck

20、in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold “by the candle“; a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it was burning. Practically all goods can be sold by auction. Among these are coffee, s

21、kins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and works of art. The auction rooms at Christies and Sothebys in London and New York are world famous. An auction is usually advertised be

22、forehand with full particulars(细节 )of the articles to be sold and where when they can be viewed by the buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together called a “lot“, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin w

23、ith Lot One and continue the numerical order, he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneers services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer

24、 therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding. 34 Auctioned goods are sold _. （ A） for the highest price offered （ B） at fixed prices （ C） at prices lower than their true value （ D） at prices offered by the auctioneer 35 The end of the bidding is called “knocking down“ because _. （ A） t

25、he auctioneer knocks on the table （ B） the auctioneer names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods （ C） the goods are knocked down onto the table （ D） the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer 36 In the sentence “The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war“ (Lines 2-3, Parag

26、raph 2), the word “spoils“ most probably means _. （ A） useless goods （ B） spears （ C） various kinds of food （ D） property taken from the enemy 37 In England a candle used to burn at auction sales _. （ A） because the auction sales took place at night （ B） as a signal for the crowd to gather （ C） to k

27、eep the auction room warm （ D） to limit the time when offers of prices could be made 38 An auction catalogue gives buyers _. （ A） the current market values of the goods （ B） details of the goods to be sold （ C） the order in which goods are to be sold （ D） free admission to the auction sale Task 2 Di

28、rections: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 39 Hollywoods true heroes are losing their jobs. Stunt people (替身演员 ) who entertained cinema-goers by falling for the sky, Swimming with sharks and driving fast cars have been replaced by

29、technology. After generations of street fights, high falls, and setting fire to themselves, these people have had nearly all their work replaced by computers. The most dangerous and costly stunts can now be achieved by mixing computer picture with live action. In the mid-1990s there were 12,000 regi

30、stered stunt people, but more than half of them had difficulty finding work. Sometimes, six or seven teams would be working on a film. Then, after a few days, the producers would come in and say, “You can go home.“ The reason was simple: cost. Computer technology made it possible to create stunts wh

31、ich would either be too expensive or too dangerous to attempt. With the rise of digital technology (数字技术 ), insurance companies became more reluctant to cover real stunts. “If they know it can be done safely with visual effects, the companies will not insure real stunts,“ said a stunt person. Many i

32、n their industry believe stunt people should develop expertise in the new technology, acting as advisers on the virtual stunts. Some, however, think that stunt people can survive in their traditional careers. They believe that audiences wont accept stunts produced by computers for too long. 39 The m

33、ost dangerous and costly stunts can be done by _. （ A） using computer graphics only （ B） mixing computer graphics and live action （ C） improving the effects of real stunts （ D） increasing the number of the stunt people 40 The stunt people are losing their jobs because of_. （ A） the speed in making m
