Part IⅡ Reading Comprehension(40%)
Passage One
Shopping for clothes is ot the same experiencefor a man as it is fora woman.A man goes shopping
because he needs something.His purpose is setted and decided in advance.He knows what he wants,and
his objective is o find it and buy it;the price is a secondary consideration.Allmen simply walk into a shop
and ask the assistant for what they want.If the shop has it in stock,the salesman promptly produces it,and
the business of trying it on proceeds at once.All being well,the deal can be and often is completed in less
than five miautes,with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
For a man,slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants,or does not have
exactly what he wants.In that case the salesman,as the name implies,tries to sell the customer something
else-he offers the nearest he can to the article required.No good salesman brings out such a substitute
bluntly；he does so with skill and polish:“I know this jacket is not the style you want,sir,but would you
like to try it for size.It happens to be the color you mentioned."Few men have patience with this treatment,
and the usual response is:"This is the right color and may be the right size,but I should be wasting my
time and yours by trying it on.”
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.Her
shopping is not often based on need.She has never fully made up her mind what she wants,and she is only
“having a look round”.She is always open to persuasion;indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman
tells her,even by what companions tell her.She will try on any number of things.Uppermost in her mind is the
thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.Contrary to a lot of jokes,most women have an
excellent sense of value when they buy clothes.They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain.
Faced with a roomful of dresses,a-woman may easily spend an-hour going from one rail to another,to and fro,
often retracing her steps,before selecting the dresses she wants to try on.It is a laborious process,but apparently
an enjoyable one.ylost dres Shops pfoydoshgirs for the oaiinghusiaes.

38.What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants?
A.He buys a similar thing of the color he wants.
B.He usually does not buy anything.
C.Atleast two of his requirements must be met before he buys.
D.So long as the style is right,he buys the thing.
39.What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?

Passage three
Talk to those people who first saw films when they were silent,and they will tell you the experience
was magic.The silent film had extraordinary powers to draw members of an audience into the story,and an
equally potent capacity of make their imaginations work.It required the audience to become engaged.to
supply voices and sound effects.The audience was the final,creative contributor to the process of making a
film.
The finest films of the silent era depended on two elements that we can seldom provide today-a large
and receptive audience and a wel-orchestrated score.For the audience,the fusion of picture and live music
added up to more than the sum of the respective parts.
The one word that sums up the atitude of the silent filmmakers is enthusiasm,conveyed most
strongly before formulas took shape and when there was more room for experimentaion.This enthusiastic
uncertainty often resulted in such accidental discoveries as new camera or editing techniques.Some films
experimented with players;the 1915 film Regeneration,for example,by using real gangsters and
sireetwalkers,provided star limg tocal color. Om-r tims ppricularly eili &esof Thonmas Ince,provided tragic
endings as often as films by other companias supplied happy ones
Unfortunately,the lvaa -jprity o/silft.f1m sprvive tofpay iufinfeqior pfins thet no longer reflect
the care that the original technicians put into them.The modern versions of silent ilms may appear jerky
and flickery,but the vast picture palaces did not attract four to six thousand people a night by giving them
eyestrain.A silent film depends on its visuals;as soon as you degrade those,you lose elements that go far
beyond the image on the surface.The acting in silents was often very subtle and very restrained,despite
legends to the contrary.
46.In paragraph 2,the sentence "For the audience…parts."indicates that.
A.music was the most important element of silent films
B.silent films rely on a combination of music and image in affecting an audience
C.the importance of music in silent film has been overestimated
D.live music compensated for the poor quality of silent film images
47.The “formulas"mentioned in paragraph 3 of the passage most probably refers to.
A.movie theaters
B.use of real characters
C.contemporary eventsD.standardized film techniques
48.The author uses the phrase “enthusiastic uneertainty"in paragraph 3 to suggest that the filmmakers
were
A.eager to challenge existing conventions
B.eager to please but unsure of what the public wanted
C.excited to be experimenting in an undefined area
D.delighted at the opportunity to study new acting formulas
49.The last sentence of paragraph 1 implies that.
A.the stars of silent movies have been criticized for overacting
B.silent film techniques should be studied by filmmakers today
C.visual effects defined the silent film
D.many silentfimsthat exist today are of poor quality
