11、the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop . She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and sai

12、d, Very dirty floors. Yes. Im glad theyve finally decided to clean them, the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, But arent you working late? Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurs

13、e had turned back to writing in the big book. After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, Thank you. Outside, Mum told me: Dagmar is fine. No fever. You saw her,

14、Mum? Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. Its a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush.21. When she took a mop from the small room what Mum really wanted to do was _.A to clean the floor

15、 B to please the nurseC to see a patient D to surprise the story-teller22. When the nurse talked to Mum she thought Mum was a _.A nurse B visitor C patient D cleaner23.

16、rs.C The nurses and doctors there dont work hard.D A lot of patients come to this hospital every day.24. Why did Mother go to see Dagmar in the hospital?A To give her some message about Dad. B To make sure her room was clean.C To check that she was still there. D To find out how she was.25. Which of

17、 the following words best describes Mum?A polite B patient C changeable D cleverPassage TwoLong after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top

18、referees. The researcher organized an experimental tournament involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge. Observers noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converte

19、d to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number. The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got i

20、t right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum distance is about 20 meters. There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 m

21、eters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with

22、the ball, the researcher argues. He also says that FIFAs insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. 26. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _. A) review the decis

23、ions of referees at the 1998 World Cup B) analyse the causes of errors made by football referees C) set a standard for football refereeing 27. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _. A) slightly above average B) higher than in the 1998 World Cup C) quite unexpected D) as h

24、igh as in a standard match 28. The findings of the experiment show that _. A) errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball B) the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors C) the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur D) errors are less

25、likely when a referee stays in one spot 29. The word officials (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _. A) the researchers involved in the experiment B) the inspectors of the football tournament C) the referees of the football tournament D) the observers at the site of the experiment 30. What is

26、 one of the possible conclusions of the experiment? A) The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45. B) Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee. C) A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible. D)An experienced football refere

27、e can do well even when in poor physical condition.Passage ThreeIt is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive(欺骗性的) packaging rumpus(喧嚣) started because Senator Hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were becoming higher and na

28、rrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10.5 ounces, without any reduction in price. There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the Senator rightly complained of a store bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as ma

29、ny cherries as there were in the whole pie. The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put h is product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4ounce, 8ounce, one pound, two pound q

30、uantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etc. A study of drugstore(杂货店) and supermarket shelves will convince any observer that all possible size and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time, and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation

31、in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in pro duct differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless

32、changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a products market position. When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from 1 dollar to 2.50 dollars by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made

33、a 5ounce bottle look as thought it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average family pays about 200 dollars a year for bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which cant be used anyth

34、ing but stuffing the garbage can. 31. What started the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus? A) Consumers complaints about the changes in the package size. B) Expensive packaging for poor quality products. C) A senators discovery of the tricks in packaging. D) The rise i

35、n the unit price for many products. 32. The word undue (Line 2, Para.2) means_. A) improper B) adequate C) unexpected D) excessive 33.

36、or a product often rises as a result C) they have to pay for the cost of changing package sizes. D) this entails an increase in the cost of packaging 34.
