Daves friend Sam saw that he was _6_ when the
3、y met one evening, and said, “Whats _7_, Dave?”Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may _8_more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sams_9_was sensible,he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: sma
4、ll car, _10_ very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no _11_.But then on Saturday evening he had an enquiry(询问).A man rang up and said he would like to_12_ him about the car. “All right,” Dave said, feeling happy.

10、 have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal (正常) and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is
11、 complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five ti
12、mes every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day. The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they
13、 never eat goat meat. The Japanese dont like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生鱼). So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always
14、 eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.21. Which of the following is true according to the article?A. All people have the same feeling about food. B. In most parts of Asia, people usually have rice for meals. C. People often consider other people to be strange or sill
15、y. D. The topic people spend time talking about is bread and meat.22. People in different countries _ . A. drink the same sort of wine B. have the same eating habit C. eat different kinds of meat D. have the same tea at different time within a day23. The Japanese dont like to eat sheep meat _ . A. b
16、ecause they dislike its smell B. because it is too expensive C. because it is easy to go bad D. because they think it will do harm to their health 24. English people drink tea four or five times a day _ .A. because they get thirsty easily B. because there is plenty of tea in Britain C. because of th
17、eir drinking habit D. because they have enough time to do soB The fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected (影响) by color wi
18、thout knowing it. Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings (包装), that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste ,and that cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packed in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole subject o
19、f color psychology (心理学). Some of our preferences (偏爱) are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with
20、 psychology, also have a direct effect on peoples mind. People in bright red surroundings (环境) show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger
21、, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars. 25. The passage tells us that salesmen have _. A. found out that colors affect sales B. dis
22、covered the relationship between color and psychology C. tried colors on blind people D. developed a special subject of color psychology 26. If people are exposed to pure blue, _. A. their body pressure rises B. they wont easily feel nervous C. they want to taste blue foods D. they will feel like bu
23、ying things27. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage? A. Color and Feelings B. Colors and Sales C. The Blind and Colors D. Preferences for Colors C Antarctica, with its seemingly endless icy beauty, is one place where one look is worth a thousand words. My own dream to
24、 see it came true last January when I joined the sixth exploration crew(考查队) of the China National Marine Bureau. We spent 10 days connecting flights to reach our goal, but finally arrived at the Great Wall Station on Antarctica on the eve of Chinese New Year.There are only two seasons in Antarctica
25、: winter and summer. You get polar nights in winter and polar days in summer. Day is longer than night in summer, and the temperature often reaches below zero. Luckily, there are no snowstorms in summer, which makes it the best season to travel. What I imagined before starting for Antarctica was a w
26、orld of ice, storms, endless cold and loneliness. When I stopped on Antarctica for the first time, however, I saw rich, energetic and beautiful scenery that was beyond anything I had imagined.We only spent 11 days at the South Pole, but every minute was spent taking pictures and losing our heart to
27、the wonderland. Beauty enveloped us as we watched the world around us. The mountains, oceans, ice, snow, sky, earth and people all seemed to have their own stories.Rocks from Antarctica are considered valuable. Unfortunately, I didnt bring one back. However, my heavy bags full of films are certainly
28、 worth that. It is in these pictures that the true Antarctica comes alive.28. Why is summer the best season to go to Antarctica? A. There are no snowstorms in summer. B. Night is longer than day in summer. C. The temperature often reaches below zero in summer. D. In this season, Antarctica is world
