Questions 16~20
Whatever may be said against mass circulation magazines and newspapers, it can hardly be argued that they are out of touch with their reader‘s daydreams, and therefore the inducements such as gifts and prizes and prizes they hold out to them must be a near accurate reflection of their unfulfilled wants and aspirations. Study these and you will assuredly understand a good deal of what it is that makes society tick.
Looking back, forexample, to the twenties and thirties, we can see that circulation managers unerringly diagnosed the twin obsessions which dominated that era of mass unemployment-economic insecurity and a passionate concern forthe next generation. Thus it was that readers were recruited with offers of free insurance policies forthe one, and free instant, oran arm in a flood, could confidently expect to collect several hundred pounds from the Daily This of the Evening That. The family who could not afford to send their son to grammar school could find consolation in equipping him with the complete works of Shakespeare in one magnificent, easy to read volume.
After the war the need to fall into step with the new consumer society was soon realised. If you were flanked by neighbours who, unlike you, could afford a holiday abroad, then winning an easy competition could setyou up with a fortnight in an exotic sunspot. Dishwashers, washing machines, slow-cookers and deep-fat-friers were—and still are — available by the same means.

Questions 21~25
Extract 1
A stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet ad foil to an eclectic array of furniture. Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together. The prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat‘s occupant. He is pictured in his living area which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining-room by a high Medieval-styled archway where there was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.
Extract 2
Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising. This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, orby fitting wood panelling over them.As wood panelling can be secured over almost anything—including old ceramic tiles and chipped walls—it is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration. The panelling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.
An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.
Extract 3
Cooking takes second place in this charming room which, with its deep armchairs, is more of a sitting-room than a kitchen, and the new Rayburn stove was a good choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace. There are no fitted units orbuilt-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farmhouse table in the foreground, and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display. What about the kitchen sink? It‘s hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery. Here there‘s a second cooker and —in the best farmhouse tradition )a huge, walk-in larder forall food storage.
21. In what way does the colour of the carpet contribute to the stylishness of the dining room?
A. It darkens the interiorof the room.
B. It provides a contrast to the furniture.
C. It blends in with the tones of the funrniture.
D. It gives the room a classical style.
22. What is the purpose of the archway described in Extract 1?
A. To hide an unattractive fireplace.
B. To give the room an exotic eastern style.
C. To Join the dining room with another room.
D. to make room forthe unusual seating arrangements.
23. Extract 2 is most probably taken from___________.
A. a fashion magazine
B. a plumber‘s manual
C. a do-it –yourself magazine
D. an advertisement fornew bathrooms
24. Extracts 2 and 3 focus on____________.
A. old furniture B. colour schemes
C. cheap improvements D. decorative approaches

A. Dining-room.
B. Siting-room.
C. Bath-room.
D. Kitchen.
Question 26~30
If You Really Want to Read This, You‘ll Be too Busy
NEW YORK—Pythagoras had his theorems, Einstein his theories and Murphy his laws. I have developed the maxim of inverse reciprocals.
After years of research, I‘ve determined inverse reciprocals affecting all human endeavors. Consider these categorized examples.
Travel There is an inverse reciprocal between:
the amount of luggage you are carrying and the distance from curbside to the airline ticket counter. The more luggage, the greater the distance.
the ammount of time you have left before the flight leaves and the distance you must go to reach the gate from which the plane leaves. If you have 30 minutes,
the gate is 25 feet from the ticket counter. If you have three minutes, the gate is on the other side of airport.
Vacations These is an inverse reciprocal between:
the size of the nonrefundable deposit you have already made and the health of the children(orspouse) the night before you are scheduled to leave.
the time at which you take a much needed long weekend, and the weather conditions during just those days.
Entertainment There is an inverse reciprocal between:
our desire to see a film to the spur of the moment and the length of the line in front of you (and, perforce, the possiblility of tickets being available when you are next).
the time left to reach a theather forthe opeining curtain (or, the start of movie) and the amount of traffic on the highway that you must take to get there (or, the number of red lights forwhich you must stop, if taking local roads).
Home Care There is an inverse reciprocal between:
the number of plumbing parts removed, coupled with the importance of completing the new assembly, and the availability of one key nut (or, more generally, the need fora specific product and the time the store closes).
the volume of leaves gathered in a pile and the velocity of the wind immediately after the pile is made.
Business There is an inverse reciprocal between:
the importance of the guests you are entertaining, coupled with the size of the bill, and either the credit cards accepted at the restaurant (relative to the credit cards in your wallet), the amount of cash in your pocket orthe balance in your checkbook.
the new baby-sitter‘s curfew and the time it will take you to make the round trip to the dinner party your boss is giving.

SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.
On August 6, 1997, when 55,000 people gathered in Hiroshima to commemorate the 46th anniversary of the devastating bombing that killed an estimated 140,000 people and brought World War Ⅱ to a sudden halt, the city‘s newly elected mayorbroke with tradition by adding a few uncustomay lines to the annual Peace Declaration. It should also be recalled, he declared, that “Japan inflicted great suffering and despair on the peoples of Asia and the Pacific during its reign of colonial domination and war. Forthis we are truly sorry.” Noting that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Japaness assalt on the U.S., he added, “Remembering all too well the horrorof this war, starting with the attack on Pearl Harborand ending with the atombombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we are determined anew to work forworld peace.”
Usually, in Japan, when people discuss the war at all, they speak of vicitimization: their own victimization by the militarists who led the country into battle and by the Americans who bombed their cities. The suffering inflicted by the imperial army on the peoples of Asia is ignored, as is Japna‘s aggression in China and at Pearl Harbor. The appealing image of Japan the victim has no room forthe underside of Japan the aggressor.
SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2) (30 minutes)
Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.
澳门,南海之滨一颗闪耀的明珠,以她的风采、沧桑和辉煌,更以1999年12月20日这个不同寻常的日子,吸引着全世界的目光。
自古以来,澳门就是中国的领土,中华儿女世世代代在这里繁衍生息。
