13、每小题1分，共10分）Passage 1 On Wednesday afternoons Annie took the bus into Cressley to shop in the market. For an hour or so she would walk up and down between the stalls, looking at everything, buying here and there, and keeping a sharp lookout for the bargains that were sometimes to be had. And then, wi
14、th all the things she needed bought, she would leave the market for the streets of the town to spend another hour in the way she liked best: looking in furniture-shop windows. There were furniture shops of all kinds in Cressley, from those where you had to stretch your neck to see the prices on the
15、tickets to others where you could hardly see the furniture itself for the many notices offering goods at prices almost too tempting to be true.One Wednesday she found a new shop full of the most delightful things, with a notice inviting anyone to walk in and look around without feeling they had to b
16、uy something. Annie hesitated for a moment before stepping through the doorway where, almost at once, she stopped delighted before a green armchair. There was a card on the chair which said: “ This fine chair is yours for less than a pound a week, ” and very small at the bottom, “ Cash price eighty-
17、nine pounds fifty. ” A pound a week. Why, she could almost pay that out of her housekeeping money and never miss it! A voice at her shoulder made her jump. “ Can I help you, Madam? ” She looked round at the assistant who had come softly to her side. “ Oh, well, no, ” she said, “ I was just looking.
18、” “ Weve chairs of all kinds in the showroom. If youll just come up you will find something to suit you. ” Annie, although a little worried at the thought of being persuaded to buy something, couldnt think of how to refuse. She was already being led to the back of the shop and up a few wide steps.31
19、. When she was doing her weekly shopping in the market, Annie was _.A. impatientB. cheerfulC. selectiveD. doubtful32. What did Annie particularly enjoy doing in Cressley?A. Hunting for bargains.B. Wandering round the market.C. Going into different shops.D. Window-shopping.33. On this particular Wedn
20、esday, Annie discovered _.A. a furniture shop she had not seen beforeB. a self-service furniture shopC. a notice about a furniture saleD. an extra pound to spend34. Annie stopped when she was inside the shop because she saw _.A. no shop assistantB. a piece of furnitureC. a noticeD. a shop assistant3
21、5. When the shop assistant led Annie to the back of the shop, she followed him .A. willinglyB. angrilyC. happilyD. unconsciouslyPassage 2 There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy while the othe
22、r becomes miserable. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds. The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversations, the well-prepared dishes, th
23、e goodness of the wines, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contrary things. Therefore, they are continually discontented. By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society , offend many people, and make themselves disagre
24、eable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when
25、those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offen
26、d many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect, and scarcely that . This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will
27、anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconduct. These people should change this bad habit. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact wit
28、h them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.36. People who are unhappy _.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are influenced by the results of certain thingsC. can discover the unpleasant par
29、t of certain thingsD. usually have a fault-finding habit37. The underlined phrase “ sour the pleasures of society ” (Line 8) most nearly means_.A. enjoy the pleasures of societyB. arent content with the pleasures of societyC. have a good taste to the pleasures of societyD. feel uncomfortable with the pleasures of society38. Which of the following statement
