Auctions
Auctions are public sales of goods,conducted by an officially approved auctioneer.He or she asks the assembled crowd in the auction-room to make offers,or"bids",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 on a table at which he stands.This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum.
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"sbu hasta",meaning"under the spear",a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather.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 stayed alight.
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by possible 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 with Lot 1 and continue in numerical order.He may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.The auctioneer's services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for.The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction.Among these are coffee,hides, skins,wool,tea,cocoa,furs,spices,fruit and vegetables and wines.Auction sales are also usual for land and property,antique,furniture,pictures,rare books,old china and similar works of art.The auction rooms at Christie's and Sotheby's in London and New York are world famous.

  • A.Right
  • B.Wrong
  • C.Not mentioned

  • C.Not mentioned

  • C.Not mentioned

Albert Einstein's Brain
1.It doesn't take an Einstein to recognize that Albert Einstein's brain was very different from yours and mine.The gray matter housed inside that shaggy head managed to revolutionize our concepts of time,space,motion一the very foundations of physical reality一not just once but several times during his astonishing career.Yet while there clearly had to be something remarkable about Einstein's brain,the pathologist who removed it from the great physicist's skull after his death reported that the organ was,to all appearances,well within the normal range一no bigger or heavier than anyone else's.
2.But a new analysis of Einstein's brain by Canadian scientists,reported in the current Lancet, reveals that it has some distinctive physical characteristics after all.A portion of the brain that governs mathematical ability and spatial reasoning一two key ingredients to the sort of thinking Einstein did best一was significantly larger than average and may also have had more interconnections among its cells,which could have allowed them to work together more effectively.
3.In 1996,Harvey gave much of his data and a significant fraction of the tissue itself to Dr.Sandra Witelson,a neuroscientist who maintains a"brain bank"at McMaster for comparative studies of brain structure and function.These normal,undiseased brains,willed to science by people whose intelligence had been carefully measured before death, gave Witelson a solid set of benchmarks against which to measure the seat of Einstein's brilliant thoughts.Not only was Einstein's inferior parietal region unusually bulky the scientists found,but a feature called the Sylvian fissure was much smaller than average.Without this groove that normally slices through the tissue,the brain cells were packed close together,permitting more interconnections一which in principle can permit more cross-referencing of information and idea, leading to great leaps of insight.
4.That's the idea,anyway.But while it's quite plausible according to current neurological theory,that doesn't necessarily,make it true.We know Einstein was a genius,and we now know that his brain was physically different from the average.But none of this proves a cause-and-effect relationship."What you really need,"says McLean's Benes,"is to look at the brains of a number of mathematical geniuses to see if the same abnormalities are present."
5.Even if they are,it's possible that the bulked一up brains are a result of strenuous mental exercise,not an inherent feature that makes genius possible.Bottom line:we still don't know whether Einstein was born with an extraordinary mind or whether he earned it,one brilliant idea at a time.

Oil Industry in Norway
The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control.A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline;production limits have been laid down(though these have already been raised);and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers.But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems,and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long.
As an Norwegian politician said last week:"We will soon be changed beyond all recognition."
Ever since the war,the Government has been carrying out a program of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle.During the past few years this program has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university,a large hospital and a healthy industry.But the oil industry has already started to draw people south,and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north,however.With nearly 100 percent employment,everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry.Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.
The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life.Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population,but they are an important part of it,because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian.And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.
31
The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to________.
  • A.provide more jobs for foreign workers
  • B.slow down the rate of its development
  • C.sell the oil it is producing abroad
  • D.develop more quickly than at present
32
The Norwegian Government has tried to________.
  • A.encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources
  • B.prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway
  • C.help the oil companies solve many of their problems
  • D.keep the oil industry to something near its present size
33
According to the passage,the oil industry might lead northern Norway to________.
  • A.the development of industry
  • B.a growth in population
  • C.the failure of the development program
  • D.the development of new towns
34
In the south,one effect to the development of the oil industry might be________.
  • A.a large reduction on unemployment
  • B.a growth in the tourist industry
  • C.a reduction in the number of existing industries
  • D.the development of a number of service industries
35
Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because________.
  • A.they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal
  • B.they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life
  • C.their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society
  • D.their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal

Using Humor Effectively
If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile,you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems.Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view.Depending on whom you are addressing,the problems will be different.if you are talking to a group of managers,you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries;alternatively if you are addressing secretaries,you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.
Here is an example,which I heard at a nurses' convention,of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors.A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St.Peter.He sees wonderful accommodations,beautiful gardens,sunny weather,and so on.Everyone is very peaceful,polite and friendly until,waiting in a line for lunch,the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat,who rushes to the head of the line,grabs his food
and stomps over to a table by himself."Who is that?"the new arrival asked St.Peter."On,that's God,"came the reply,"but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."
If you are part of the group which you are addressing,you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman's notorious bad taste in ties.With other audiences you mustn't attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disrespect remarks about their canteen or their chairman.You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.
If you feel awkward being humorous,you must practice so that it becomes more natural.Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner.Often it's the delivery which causes the audience to smile,so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.
Look for the humor' It often comes from the unexpected.A twist on a familiar quote"If at first you don't succeed,give up"or a play on words or on a situation.Search for exaggeration and understatements.Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.
36
To make your humor work,you should________.
  • A.take advantage of different kinds of audience
  • B.make fun of the disorganized people
  • C.address different problems to different people
  • D.show sympathy for your listeners
37
The joke about doctors implies that,in the eyes of nurses,they are________.
  • A.impolite to new arrivals
  • B.very conscious of their godlike role
  • C.entitled to some privileges
  • D.very busy even during lunch hours
38
It can be inferred from the text that public services________.
  • A.have benefited many people
  • B.are the focus of public attention
  • C.are an inappropriate subject for humor
  • D.have often been the laughing stock
39
To achieve the desired result,humorous stories should be delivered________.
  • A.in well-worded language
  • B.as awkwardly as possible
  • C.in exaggerated statements
  • D.as casually as possible
40
The tone of the author is________.
  • A.neutral
  • B.objective
  • C.subjective
  • D.humorous
第二篇
I was blind,but I was ashamed of it if it was known.I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help.After all,I was a teenager girl,and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them.I must have been a terrible danger on the roads,coming across me wandering through the traffic,motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening,I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses,and as usual I ran into something."I'm awfully sorry,"I said and stepped forward only to run into it again.When it happened a third time,I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop,which was a request stop,where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off.No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation,because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help,I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end,I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop;It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass,or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself,I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.
41
The girl refused to ask for help because she thought________.
  • A.she might be recognized
  • B.asking for help looked silly
  • C.she was normal and independent
  • D.being found blind was embarrassing
42
After the girl got off the bus that evening,she________.
  • A.began to run
  • B.hit a person as usual
  • C.hit a lamppost by accident
  • D.was caught by something
43
At the request stop that evening,the girl________.
  • A.stopped a big lorry
  • B.stopped the wrong bus
  • C.made no attempt to stop the bus
  • D.was not noticed by other people
44
What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?
  • A.Other vehicles also stopped there.
  • B.It was unreliable for making judgments.
  • C.More lorries than buses responded to the girl.
  • D.It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.
45
Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop,hoping________.
  • A.to find people there
  • B.to find more buses there
  • C.to find the bus by herself there
  • D.to find people more helpful there
Computer Crimes
More and more,the operations of our businesses,governments,and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories.Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his purpose can reap substantial rewards.Even worse,________(46)
It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer h doing.________(47),the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a growing recommendation from his former employers.
Of course,we have no statistics on crime that go undetected.But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident,________(48)The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.
For example,________(49)Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions.In another case,dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed.
Unlike other lawbreakers,who must leave the country,commit suicide,or go to jail,computer criminals sometimes escape punishment demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits.
All too often,their demands have been met.Why?________(50)that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused.They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company's executives,accountants,and security staff.And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.
46
_________(46)

Natural foods,for example,are vegetables,fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter.In simple________(56),this means that the soil has been________ (57)by unused vegetable matter,which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals________ (58)in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers,the main ________(59)of which is to increase the________(60)(but not the quality)of foods grown in
commercial farming areas.
Natural foods also include animals which have been________(61)to feed and move freely in healthy________(62).Compare this with what happens in the________(63)production of poultry (家禽):there are battery farms,for example,where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed________(64)food which is little better than rubbish.Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food;they also produce eggs which________(65)important vitamins.
