二、阅读理解
Passage 1
People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.
People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.
Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal （非语言的）communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out （突出）of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.
(1) The home matters greatly to Englishmen.
A：T
B：F
答案：A
(2) The British can own private space like the house and the garden.
A：T
B：F
答案：A
(3) According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means you want to tell others the space belongs to you.
A：T
B：F
答案：A
(4) The man opposite to the writer showed that he owned the whole table by reading a book.
A：T
B：F
答案：B
(5) The writer tried to get back his space by moving the case off the table.
A：T
B：F
答案：B
Passage 2
When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.

答案：C
(3) What can you infer from the passage?_____________________
A：The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.
B：Renting furniture is not popular in the couple's home town.
C：Only those who don't have enough money to rent furniture.
