Antique dealers have an "in" joke. If two of them come to a desert island; they say; at the end of the year both will claim they have made a million. It's a story which sums up "the trade". Objects; some precious; some whose only value is the old age; pass from hand to hand in search of home.Buying an antique is always an event. Collectors; bitten by the bug; develop a selective photographic memory. Point to any cherished object they own and they can tell you when they bought it; where; form whom and for how much. They may even remember what they ate for lunch that day and whether it rained.Britain is the world's biggest antique treasure store. Across the country; any day of the week; there may be several dozen auctions taking place. Even a small town will boast a couple of shops. In historic centres like Bath; the numbers may run into hundreds; not counting the stall holders packing specialists markets there; like Guinea Lane.In theory; the public's best chance of coming out ahead is in the sale rooms. They may be very famous; such as Sotheby's; Christies or Phillip's or lively provincial firms like Hobbs and Bath. Bidding is rapid and the auctioneer will try and process as many as 140 lots an hour. Given the pressure and the tensions; it's more than sensible to view the items to be sold in advance; either the previous day or before the sale begins. Then is the time to decide how far you are prepared to go and not to decide in the heat of battle.11.

She said to her; "My husband needs a vacation verymuch; so whatever happens; please don't bother him with telegrams and letters about business problems while we are away.

They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation's consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet; some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by; where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Some maintain; that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace; our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore; the overall crime rate is down; poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy; and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define; but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity 明星; who are legendary; who somehow mange to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities That's hard to answer. In part; their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance; the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince; renounced marriage and the throne; and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm; with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death - such as Martin Luther King; Jr.; John F. Kennedy; and Princess Diana.11、The passage mainly deals with ______.A：life and death B：heroes and heroines C：heroes and icons D：icons and celebrities12、Heroes and heroines are usually _________.A：courageous B：exemplary C：self-sacrificing D：all of the above13、Which of the following statements is wrong _________A：Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.

At that time; zoos were places 1 people could go to see animals from many parts of the world.

The zoo environment was anything but natural. 3 the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well; many of the animals did not thrive; they behaved in strange ways; and they often became ill.In modern zoos; people can see animals in more natural habitats. The animals are given more 4in large areas so that they can live more comfortably as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed.

All we really know is that men; unlike animals; somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings; actions and things; so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs; called letters; which could be combined to present those sounds; and which could be written down. Those sounds; whether spoken or written in letters; we call words.The power of words; then; lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live; the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn; the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all; the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately; or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.11、The origin of language is _________.A：a legend handed down from the past B：a matter that is hidden or secretC：a question difficult to answer D：a problem not yet solved12、What is true about words _______A：They are used to express feelings only. B：They can not be written down.C：They are simply sounds. D：They are mysterious.13、The real power of words consists in their ______.A：properties B：characteristics C：peculiarity D：representative function14、By "association" in the last paragraph; the author means ______.A：a special quality B：a joining of ideas in the mind C：an appearance which is puzzlingD：a strange feature15、Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true _________A：He is no more than a master of words. B：He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music. C：He can move men to tears. D：His style is always charming.三、词汇与语法1、You shouldn't _______ your time like that; Bob; you have to finish your school work tonight.A：cut B：do C：kill D：kick2、No matter _____ ; the little sisters managed to round the sheep up and drive them back home safely.A：it was snowing hard B：hard it was snowing C：how it was snowing hard D：how hard it wassnowing3、The computer system suddenly while he was searching for information on the Internet.A：broke down B：broke out C：broke up D：broke in4、Therefore; other things ____ equal; the number of workers that employers want decreases.A：is B：are C：being D：having5、Tom was watching TV when someone______.A：comes B：come C：came D：has come四、完型填空1、The world is not only hungry; it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you; since nearly 75% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is seawater; 1salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% of the fresh water that comes from rivers; lakes; underground; and other 2 .And we can't even use all of that; because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse; some of it has been polluted.However; as things stand today; this small amount of fresh water;which is constantly being replaced by rainfall; is still enough for us.
