第三部分　阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

I needed to get some money during my winter holidays.So after Christmas I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale.I can’t say that I enjoyed it,but it was an experience I’ll never forget.

I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales;where did they all come from?Now I know the secret! Firstly,there is the special winter stock(货物)and the stock that people buy all the year round;some of these things are slightly reduced.Secondly,there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year,these are heavily reduced to clear them.Thirdly,there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales;these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale.Clever! Later,they buy in “seconds” (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.

When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale,there was already a queue around three sides of the building.This made me very nervous.

When the big moment arrived to open the doors,the security guards,looking less confident than usual,came up to them,keys in hand.The moment they had unlocked the doors,they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in.I couldn’t believe my eyes;this wasn’t shopping,it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.

Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes,colors and styles they wanted.Quarrels broke out.Mothers were using their small children to crawl through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves.

Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose,each wanting to be the first served.Where had the famous English Queue gone?The whole day continued like that,but I kept my temper (脾气)!I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why,twice a year,Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.

In the sale fever,people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying.As long as it was a bargain it was OK.

You won’t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours.Then I had dinner and went back to bed,fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.

56.What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper?

A.Last summer’s clothes.

B.Clothes not in perfect condition.

C.Clothes bought in specially for the sales.

D.Clothes for winter.

解析：由第二段“Firstly,there is the special winter stock(货物)and the stock that people buy all the year round;some of these things are slightly reduced.”可知 5%即为slightly reduce。

答案：D

57.Which of the following statements is true?

A.The customers gave up the queuing,for which the English are famous.

B.The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted.

C.Small children enjoyed crawling through people’s legs.

D.The security guards were fearless of the crowd.

解析：根据该句“Where had the famous English Queue?”可知。

答案：A

58.In the author’s opinion,why were Graham’s happy to make their expensive store into a “battlefield”?

A.There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales.

B.They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.

C.They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes.

D.They wanted to make more money by having sales.

答案：D

59.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.The Best Bargain

B.Hunting for a Job

C.Sale Fever

D.A Pleasant Fortnight

解析：通篇文章介绍的都是在假期内有关大甩卖的事，故而选C。

答案：C

A holiday is any day when people lay aside their ordinary duties and cares.The word comes from Old English.At first,holidays honored some holy event or person.People in Great Britain and other countries speak of holidays as Americans speak of vacations.

Every nation has its special holidays.China observes New Year’s Day(January 1),May Day and National as legal holidays,as it was on Oct.1,1949 that People’s Republic of China was founded.The Chinese have long celebrated the Chinese lunar year.In the United States,congress has declared several as legal days such as New Year’s Day (January 1);Martin Luther King,Jr’s Birthday;Washington’s Birthday; Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and so on.Some holidays celebrate special events in the development of a country,such as Greece’s Independence Day;Italy’s Liberation Day and India’s Independence Day.

In the States,banks and schools usually close on a legal holiday.When such a holiday falls on Sunday,the following Monday is usually observed.
