In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. Aboutfour metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.事实上 ,琥珀屋并不是作为礼物而建造的。

It took George quite a while to find a 36 place for his car and in the end he had to leave it in a narrow street, 37 from the dentist’s. As he got out, he glanced at his 38 . His appointment(约会)was at five and he still had twenty minutes to 39 . He crossed into thesquare and 40 on a bench, partly to 41 the last of the afternoon sun, 42 to calm his nerves (神经). He hated these visits 43 the dentist(牙医).As he sat there, watching the children at play and 44 to the old women talking to each other, he turned around to see a red car like his own come out of the 45 where he had parked. The car gathered speed and was soon 46 of sight. George 47 in his pockets for the keys: They were not there. “My car!” he cried 48 a loud voice, which made several people stare at him. He got up and ran across the 49 and then down the narrow street. His car was not to be seen—but then he discovered it concealed(被隐藏)50 a large one. He was relieved (使宽慰)to find his 51 , still in his car.By the time he reached the dentist’s it was already five. “I had rather an odd (奇特的) 52 ,” he said to the dentist to explain his 53 . “I thought my car had been 54 .”“It’s quite55 sir,” said the dentist. “As a matter of fact I have onl y just got here myself.”36.

I didn’t think there wo uld be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole 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. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t eve n 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?” “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 the plan and I was getting exci ted. “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 po unds 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 mend 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 mend this for you. Shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.56. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer .A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair57. The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means .A. plan for dealing with thingsB. decision to sell tingsC. idea of repairing thingsD. way of doing things58. The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper .A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer59. How much did the writer pay?A. £5.B. £7.C. £20.D. £27.60. From the text, we can learn that the writer was .A. honestB. carefulC. smartD. funnyBDear Lan Lan,I’m now writing to you at Hartsop, a village in the Lake District, a place to have most beautiful scenery(景色)in English couple here to spend Christmas with them. This was planned for overseas students to know British way of life by living with British families.We came two days before Christmas and during our stay, we have had everything we expected. Christmas turkey, Christmas cake, Christmas puddings, Christmas parties and Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree. All are exciting and amusing(有趣的), but above all these, we are deeply touched by the hospitality(好客)of the family, Roger and Anne Marie.Anne Marie was a nurse and all these days, she had been busy cooking meals, washing dishes and showing us around. Roger, who was a doctor, knows a lot about China and still wants to know more. He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that than we do. In the evenings, we all sit around the fireplace with Tim, a lovely dog, by our side. Like long-time-no-see friends, we talk about all the things that have happened or we hope to happen in our lives. There is always so much to tell and to know.After three months away from home, we are again feeling how sweet a home can be. Roger and Anne Marrie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country. They show such kindness to us that they bring us a person-to-person feeling, instead of a British-to-Chinese feeling. They make us believe that though there are differences of languages and cultures, one may always expect to find in every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved.How I wish Mum and Dad could meet them! How I wish you were here with me! Howstrange it is that the more I feel at home here, the more I miss my real home and all of you. We always talk about “when we go back home next year…” and soon we will turn this into “when we go back home THIS year…” for the New Year’s Day is coming. Miss you.Love Cao Wen61.
