Since its launch a little over two wees ago, Velib has already seen almost half a million rentals. And, with the addition of 10,000 more bies and 700 more stations in the net 12 months, city officials epect at least 200,000 regular users by year end.Parisian Oliver Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Velib’s vehicles and plans to mae use of them more often.It’s a real pleasure —when, lie me, you don’t have space enough in you flat to have your own bie—to be able to discover, to cross Paris and not have to tae the subway,” he said.As a socialist and longtime green activist, Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Velib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and thus, lower pollution by 2020.Apart from its environmental benefits, Velib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city, for all the money from rentals goes to the city government.Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles.Across the globe, cities such as Barcelona, which stated its bie-share program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations, and New Yor, which launched a five-day trial program last month are using bicycles as a way to cut bac on both traffic and pollution.However, it remains to be seen whether people’s acceptance of these program is simply a passing fashion or whether this movement has the power to tae root and transform the face of public transportation around the world.4. The real purpose of Velib is _______.A. to help people save money and spaceB. To mae some money for the city governmentC. to provide convenience to both Parisians and touristsD. to reduce traffic and pollution in the city.5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There will be 700 stations in one year’s time.B. There will be over 20,000 bies in use in a year.C. In the first two wees there were nearly a million rentals.D. There will be 200,000 regular rentals each day by year end.6. We can now from the passage that _______.A. other cities also have such programsB. Parisians can use the bicycles free of chargeC. Paris sets an eample to many other citiesD. Paris is the first city to start such a program.7. As to the future of the program, the author is _______.A. criticalB. optimisticC. uncertainD. negativeCPioneering front-row White House journalist Helen Thomas died at age 92 after a long illness. Thomas covered 10 presidents over nearly half a century, and becamea legend in the industry.She was always at White House news conferences — sitting front and center —where she frequently annoyed government spoesmen with her pointed questions.Thomas began covering the White House for United Press International when John F. ennedy became president in 1961 and was a fiture there until her retirement in 2010.In a written statement, Obama called Thomas a “true pioneer” and said she ept the presidents she covered —including himself—on their toes.Thomas, the daughter of Lebanese immigrants, was born in Winchester, entucy on August 4,1920. She was one of nine children. Thomas was raised in Detroit, where she attended Wayne State Unive rsity and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1942.In describing her job, Thomas once said, “ I’ve never covered the president in any way other than that he is ultimately responsible.”Thomas embraced the freedoms of a columnist with vigor(活力). No question seemed off-limits for her. Colleagues remember her as a genuinely fearless woman who ased the toughest questions of presidents, no matter their party.In January 2009, as President George Bush was preparing to leave office, Thomas aimed her editorial guns at him and his administration. In a commentary, she slammed (抨击) Bush for what she considered his failings, including leading the country “into a senseless war against Iraqi a calamity still under way as he leaves office almost si years after the invas ion.” She considered him “the worst president ever”.8. According to the tet , Helen Thomas was ______.A a wise politicianB a writing pioneerC a legendary journalistD a White House adviser9. The underlined word “fiture”in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.A an object firmly fied in placeB a person regarded fied in the same positionC someone to fi tricy problemsD a device to secure something somewhere10. What can we learn about Helen Thomas from the tet?A. She covered 10 presidents over a period of 49 years.B. She often raised unreasonable questions.C. She was born and brought up in Lebanon.D. She was criticied by President Obama.11.How did Thomas comment on George Bush?A. He should be ept on his toes.B. He was forced to be responsible.C. He didn’t deserve to be president.D. He shouldn’t have started the Iraq War.DA survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.According to the results of an international passenger survey, Australians are the biggest driners on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch(干杯), compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits.The Airline Passenger Eperience Association(APE) spoe to around 1,500 people, aged 18 and older, who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United ingdom, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Australia and Brail.The results found Chinese travelers are most liely to nod off once the seat-belt sign switches off. They are also the first to tae out their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming. Americans on the other hand lie to use their time in the air more productively—when not drining—choosing to wor while flying at 35,000 feet.Meanwhile, Brits and Germans are the best at maing chat with random strangers—spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality. Comparatively, Brailians conduct their conversations online via email, messaging apps or social media.Despite plane food having a bad reputation, seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection of in-flight snacs and meals. In-flight magaines were also popular with four out of five passengers.The international flyers did however epress their desire for better in-flight entertainment. “The industry has greatly improved the comfort, entertainment and onboard service, and passengers are accepting those improvements” said Russell Lemieu, APE eecutive director. “At the same t ime, passengers are demanding more from their air travel eperiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey. ” he added.12. What can you probably see in the flight according to the passage?A. Brailians choose to drin.B. Americans do in-flight shopping.C. Germans chat to ill the time.D. The Chinese switch off the seat-belt sign.13. When on board the plane, ______.A. passengers from one nation have little in commonB. most passengers lie to read in-flight magainesC. more than half of the passengers don’t enjoy plane foodD. most people tend to use in-flight time to have a good sleep.14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Flyers care little about entertainment.B. Flyers are not satisfied with the improvements.C. Flyers are epecting better flight eperiences.D. Flyers have more and more demands from airlines.15. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To entertain readers with interesting stories.B. To encourage people to behave well in public.C. To criticie impolite behaviors on the plane.D. To inform readers of the results of a survey.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It was August and it was hot. I had to wear a tie to do a survey door by door in this neighbourhood, but I was always refused. I finally caught on and began with “Before you close the door, I am not selling anything and I just need to ask a few questions about yourself and the community”.The young woman inside the doorway stopped for a moment, confused by my rude introduction and finally said, “Sure. Come on in. Don’t mind the mess. It’s hard to keep up with my kids.”“I just need to ask a few questions about yourself and your family. Although this may soundpersonal, I won’t need to use your names. This information will be used.” She interrupted me. “Would you like a glass of cold water? You look like you’ve had a rough day.”“Why yes!” I said gratefully. Just as she returned with the water, a man came walking in the front door. It was her husband. “Joe, this man is here to do a survey.”I stood and politely introduced myself.“Joe works for the town,” she said. “What do you do?” I asked. She jumped right in not letting him answer. “Joe collects garbage. You know I’m so proud of him.”There was a silence. I didn’t know what to say. I shook my head searching for the right words. “That’s unbelievable! Most people would not be satisfied with a job like that. It certainly is a difficult one. But your attitude about it is amazing.” I said.She walked over to the shelf. As she returned she held a small framed(装裱)paper, walking toward Joe. “I have always been proud of him and always will be. You see I don’t think the job makes the man, but the man makes the job!” she said as she handed me the paper.It said: If a man is called to be a cleaner, he should clean streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, “Here lived a great cleaner who did his job well.”4. Why did the author change his introduction?A. To relieve his stress.B. To look for some water.C. To do his survey smoothly.D. To know about the bad situation.5. What can we learn about the young woman?A. She finds a good job in the city.B. She has a great talent for argument.C. She doesn’t live a life as she dreams.D. She has a positive attitude towards Joe’s job.6. What can we infer from Paragraph 6?A. The Young woman will be with Joe forever.B. The Young woman is proud of her job.C. Any job can be done better by heart.D. Any job can change a person.7. What is the best title for the text?A. A Beneficial Experience of SurveyB. The Pleasure from JobsC. AA Great Street CleanerD. The Power of LaborCScience is always advancing over time. A self-driving car from the Google may be coming to a street near you. However, you won’t be able to buy it now. “We’re working to build the world’s most experienced driver,” Kraft, director of the project, said. “Everything that we learn in one of our cars gets passed to all of our cars. But you may need to get over the idea of traditional car ownership along the way.”Google’s software has already driven 5 million miles in U.S. cities, including an “early rider” test in Phoenix last April. Since then Google has grown confident enough to remove the “auxiliary wheel”: a human “safety driver”. Powering the vehicle’s self-driving functions is a series of cameras, radars and sensors on the car’s roof, which detect everything nearby from other vehicles and passers-by to cyclists.Kraft stressed that Google’s cars aren’t connected—they don’t need a 5G wireless link to go anywhere. “The car has everything it needs to drive on the car itself.” He said, “There are no signals coming from outer space or something telling it to turn right.” The resulting ride may not be too exciting but safe. Kraft added. “We can see three football fields down the road, we would come to a stop before we ran into these crowds.”Google’s system has a major advantage over the semi-autonomous(半自主的)systems of Tesla and Cadillac, both of which need continued human attention. Kraft said Google plans to have service in every major city by 2028 with thousands of cars driving themselves.8. What does the underlined words “auxiliary wheels” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A car that is very old.B. A driver who has been trained well.C. A part of a car used to sound the alarm.D. A condition where a driver doesn’t know his role.9. Why is Google’s car thought to be safe in the text?A. Because it can get away from danger easily.B. Because it is equipped with 5G wireless link.C. Because it can stop before the crowds occasionally.D. Because it can keep a safe distance from everything nearby.10. What can we learn from the text?A. Google’s software has not been tested.B. Google’s cars have not been put into the market.C. Driving the Google’s car may not be too exciting.D. Google’s cars still need driver’s attention all the way.11. What does the author think of the Google’s car?A. It’s affordable.B. It’s still a theory.C. It has a bright future.D. It’s the most advanced by now.DAre you using a dating App to make friends? How do you know that Ben from London is really 25-year-old? Is his photo taken recently? Is his name even Ben? Dating apps can be tricky to operate, particularly when you’re trying to know whether someone is trustworthy, but one thing you can’t cheat is your gene, which is why a new dating app is using DNA as a basis for its match.A dating app named Pheramor requires all users to hand in a cheek sample, from which a team of in-house scientists using a specially-created tool can queue the specific genes connected with attraction and then identify which users might be suitable. The process works by separating the 11 genes that link to our pheromones(信息素), the chemical signals that are believed to control; one’s attraction. Combining this data with the personal information allows the app to make very specific matches.“Pheramor uses both your biology and your social technology: we collect your genetic data through a cheek sample and collect your like, dislikes, and interest from your social media introductions like Facebook, Twitter, etc,” the app’s website explains. “All of them will be used in our specific software, which is designed to learn what you prefer.”The co-founder Brittany Barreto, who has a PHD in genetics added that Pheramor’s technology digs deeper than traditional dating apps, making it almost impossible for people to cheat theirway to a date.The Houston-based app is already up and running but hopes to be officially put into market in February with 3,000 members.12. What do we know about the new dating app according to Paragraph 1?A. It can be operated easily by users.B. It can know others’ trustworthiness.C. It can select information on the website.D. It can use DNA to make matches for users.13. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. What Pheramor is.B. How Pheramor works.C. How scientists deal with the data.D. How the genes are connected with attraction.14. What will be used in Pheramor to learn the users’ preference?A. Attraction and pheromones.B. Pheromones and genetic data.C. Social technology and attraction.D. Genetic data and social media introductions.15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce a safe dating app.B. To explore the future of the app.C. To avoid unreasonable requirements.D. To teach people how to design apps.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Admittedly, they do look more like big toes instead of thumbs and from an early age, my thumbs earned a nickname “toe thumbs”.Then, while I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a st ore. One day, while I was checking out a sweet old lady, she suddenly grabbed (抓住) my hands and said in a thick Polish accent, “You are Polish! Look at those beautiful Polish thumbs! They match mine!”She raised her hands and showed me her thumbs that looked exactly like mine! She grabbed and held my hands again and said, “Be proud of those thumbs and the history of your herita ge (传承) that comes with them!”I'll never forget that 30-second conversation with a stranger that forever changed my view of a part of me I once was embarrassed by and now em brace. Tonight, as I sat with my Samuel, he looked down at m y hand and said, “ Mommy! Our thumbs match!” I smiled and answered, “Yes, they do. Those are strong Polish thumbs! Be proud of them!”I no longer hide my thumbs in my fists. I'm happy that my chil d will carry on a piece of our heritage. I hope my son will neve r hide his thumbs like I did. I hope he will be proud of their “un usualness” and the history behind them. He carries on a uniq ue part of me (and all the generations before me) and that for me will always be beautiful!4. Which of the following might the author experience because of her thumbs?A. Great hardships in life.B. Being admired by her friends.C. Unexpected kindness from others.D.

Say no to embarrassmentCIf you are standing in front of an iceberg (冰山), it might look like the largest thing you’ve seen. However, you’re still only seeing the small part above the water. About 9 0 percent of the iceberg is below the water. The same idea rel ates to culture, Amy Melendez explained.Amy teaches English and trains English educators in Washing ton. She works at a number of schools, including Northern Virginia Community College and Georgetown University. She sai d that many students and teachers mistakenly think culture is just the things that are easy to see, like food, music, clothing and holidays. But she said that most culture is represented in what cannot be seen: people's expectations, beliefs and value s.So she brings lessons about this into the classroom. She teac hes learners how to understand and value cultural differences and communicate more effectively with people from other cult ures.Like Amy, Michelle Stabler is an English educator who has ta ught intercultural communication. Currently, she is a professor of Columbia University in New York City.Both Amy and Michelle explained that the subject of cultural u nderstanding is a natural part of language teaching. They not ed that language and culture are inseparable: words and expr essions have cultural origins.They also said that cultural tolerance helps learners feel safe i n the classroom. Michelle explained, "In other words, they don 't have to worry that people are going to criticize (批评) who they are or the things that they value most and believ e in.

The deman ds of my work and my three children had made it possible to v isit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. She thought about it for a moment , and then agreed.That Friday after work, I drove over to pick her up. When I arri ved at her house, I noticed that she had curled her hair and w as wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as bea utiful as an angel’s.We went to a very nice and comfortable restaurant. After we s at down, I had to read the menu. A smile was on her lips. “It w as I who used to have to read the menu when you were a chil d”, she said. “Then it’s time that you should relax and let me r eturn the favor,” I responded.During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation----nothing special but catching up onrecent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I a greed.A few days later my mother died of an uncontemplated heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance todo anything for her. At that moment I understood the importan ce of saying in time “I LOVE YOU” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important th an your family.

At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm cloc k rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went b ack to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went o ut.Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it d eeply. I stretched my arms and legs, then started to run. I fou nd all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branche s were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They we re scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, re lax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let's enjoy the beau tiful morning together!” Then miracle(奇迹) happened. The two little creatures seemed to understan d what I said. They turned back and twittered(吱吱叫) around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twitt ered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to h ear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life i s!Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Hele n Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to See, “The s eeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them.

sense﹣gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies;while the othersenses,the auditory (hearing),the olfactory (smell),the tactile (touch),and the gustatory (taste)bring into our brains information about the other 20% of what is happening.But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without,though they are little noticed.These are the senses of balance

vegetable.可知西红柿是一种可口的蔬菜,故选D.22.B 推理判断题.根据文章第一段的But in the 18thcentury,Americans neverate tomatoes.They grow themin their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty可知,在18世纪的时候,美国人还不吃西红柿,他们在花园里种西红柿,因为西红柿很漂亮.所以美国人直到19世纪才开始吃西红柿.故选B.23.A 细节理解题.根据文章第二段第2行He had been toParis,where he learnedto love the taste of tomatoes.可知,他曾到过巴黎,在那里他开始喜欢上西红柿的味道.所以Jefferson 是在巴黎的时候知道西红柿好吃的,故选A.24.C 细节理解题.根据第二段的They neverthought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.可知,他们从来没有想过他们的总统会为他的贵宾上"毒苹果",所以Jefferson总统宴请的客人是他本国的.故选C.25.D 细节理解题.根据第二段的They neverthought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.可知,他们从来没有想过他们的总统会为他的贵宾上"毒苹果",所以D选项"并不是所有的客人都知道他们的总统会为他的贵宾提供‘毒苹果'"是不正确的,故选D.【点评】本文是社会文化类阅读,主要考查细节理解题和推理判断题.在做细节理解题时,首先根据题目要求迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语.认真比较选项和文中细节的区别,在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.第二节:七选五(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.26.(10分)Everyone

AMost of us use the telephone several times a day to talk with friends or make social arrangements,These calls are usually quite easy and require little planning.Using the telephone for business purpose is different.In any organization the person on the telephone represents the company and gives an impression of the firm to the outside world.If you want to ensure good public relations.you need to master effective telephone techniques.

Hardly anyone else is watched so closely by so many people. Reporters follow the President relentlessly, eager for his opinion on everything from nuclear warheads to the outcome of the Super Bowl. The President must be careful at all times that his answers to reporters' questions reflect his policies. In addition, wherever the President may go, he never for a moment escapes the responsibilities of his office. The evening news may show him on a working vacation, but the word is always with him.Then why have so many people wanted to be President?One reason may be that the Presidency is also one of the most powerful jobs in the world. As President JohnF.Kennedy said, “All the needs and aspirations of all parts of the country, all departments of government, all nations of the world are focused on him.”Who Can Be President?The job seems to demand a person of outstanding ability, so you might think the U.S. Constitution would contain a long list of job qualifications. However, it lists only three. Article Ⅱ, Section 1 of the Constitution states that the President must 1.be a natural-born citizen of the United States;2.be at least 35 years old;3.have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.Though the qualifications for Vice President are not stated in the constitution, they are the same as the qualifications for President, since the Vice President might have to replace the President.While the Constitution lists only three qualifications for the Presidency, the voters certainly consider many others. Among these are intelligence, good health, experience in government, ability to lead others, knowledge of national and world affairs, personality, ability to speak well, and persuasiveness.What Does the President Do?The President is the Chief Executive of the United States and heads the exe cutive branch of the Government.However,the President must share power with mem bers of the other two branches of Government:the legislative branch,or the Cong ress;and the judicial branch,or the federal courts.The Constitution states the powers and duties of Presidency,it also tells how each branch of the Government is to cheek the powers of the other two in order to balance the powers and pre vent any single branch from misusing its power.This system of checks and balanc es was devised by the writers of the Constitution because they did not want any one person or branch of the Government to gain too much power.What Does the Vice President Do?According to the Constitution,the Vice Presidency involves only duties.First the Vice President presides(主持,统辖)over the Senate and can cast the decid ing vote in case of a tie(平局).Second the Vice President must be ready to take over if the President is somehow removed from office or cannot carry out the duties of the Presidency.This lack of official responsibility has led many to view the office of Vice President as a position of honor with no real power.However,some Presidents have relied heavily on the advice and support of the Vice President.28.Which of these statements is true?A.The President presides over the Senate.B.The President must be a U.S.citizen from birth.C.The Constitution gives the Vice President many responsibilities.D.The Constitution is such an interesting book that everyone wants to rend it.29.Which question of NOT answered in the passage?A.If there is a tie in the Senate,who casts the deciding vote?B.What is another name for the legislative branch of the ernment?C.When was the Constitution of the United States written?D.How old the President of the United States must be?30.From this passage we can infer that____.A.some Vice Presidents have been more active than others.B.the Vice Presidents is usually younger than the President.C.the Vice Presidents often votes in the Senate.D.the Vice Presidents is considered as a position of honor with no real power.31.Which of the following will prevent Tom from becoming President?A.He was born in a small willage in the United States.B.He is already 60 years old now.C.He has lived in the United States for ten years.D.He doesn’t know any other language.DBetty and Harold have been married for years.But one thing still puzzles old Harold.How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa? Talking?What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?Betty shrugs.Talk? We’re friends.Researching this result called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men.No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear:women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable”.More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed would not name a best friend.Those who could were likely to name a woman.Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman.More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(感情危机)“Most women, ”says Rubin, “identified(认定)at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a trouble moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.”“In general, ”writes Rubin in her new book, “women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.”For the most part, Rubin says, interactions(交往)between men are emotionally controlled-a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior”.“Even when a man is said to be a best friend, ”Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings.While a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on a sofa.”32 .What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that ________.A.he is treated as an outsider rather than a husbandB.women have so much to shareC.women show little interest in ballgamesD.he finds his wife difficult to talk to33.Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to ________.A.a male friendB.female friendC.her parentsD.her husband34.According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society?A.Ending his marriage without good reasonB.Spending too much time with his friends.plaining about his marriage trouble.D.Going out to ballgames too often.35.Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?A.Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.B.Women are more serious than men about marriage.C.Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.D.Women depend on others in making decisions.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

ASome time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t ev en look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth —so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?"“Twenty pounds.” I said.“OK,” he said, "I’ll give you twenty pounds."“It’s got a slightly broken leg." I said.“Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."“I’ll buy it," I said.“What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me," he said."Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it."“You must be crazy." he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."“You’re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, "Would you repair this chair for me?""“I wouldn’t have agreed to do it." he said. "We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.21. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.A.was rather impolite B.was warmly receivedC.asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D.asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair22. The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means_______.A.plan for dealing with things B.way of doing thingsC.idea of repairing things D.decision to sell things23.
