Section III
Cloze (20 points)





The most extraordinary dream I ever _21_ was one in which I fancied that, as I
was
going
into
a
theater,
the
clock-room
attendant
stopped
me
in
the
lobby
and
insisted
on
my
_22_my
legs
behind.
I
was
not
surprised,
but
I
was
considerably
annoyed. I said I had never heard of such a rule at any respectable theater _23_, and
that I considered it a most absurd regulation. The man replied that he was very _24_,
but that those were his instructions. People complained that they could not get to and
from t
heir _25_ comfortably, because other people’s legs were always in the way, and
it had, therefore, been decided that _26_ should leave their legs outside. It seemed to
me that the management, in making this order, had gone _27_ their legal right; and,
under
ordinary
circumstances,
I
should
have
disputed
it.
However,
I
didn't
want
to
_28_ a disturbance; so I sat down and meekly prepared to comply with the demand. I
had never before _29_ that the human leg could be unscrewed. I had always thought it
was more securely fixed. But the man showed me how to undo them, and I found that
they
came
off
quite
easily.
The
discovery
did
not
surprise
_30_
any
more
than
the
original request that I should take them off. Nothing does surprise one in a dream.
21. A. was


B. saw



C. had


D. wanted





D. left
22. A. leave





B. leaves

23. A. before

24. A. angry
25. A. homes
B. after

B. sorry



C. leaving


C. during






D. so






D. helpful

D. seats





D. nobody
C. friendly


C. arms

B. jobs

26. A. somebody
27. A. beyond

B. everybody







C. anybody
B. from


C. to








D. around






D. learn
28. A. understand
29. A. know
30. A. him


B. know











C. make



C. make
C. me



B. known

D. learn
D. us
B. them
Section IV
Reading (20 points)
Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage.





One day, sixty-year-old Henry Ford went down a mine. He lay on his back in
narrow tunnels and cut the coal from
above his
head. He came out black, wet, stiff
and sore. He told his manager to make the tunnels wider and to improve and repair the
miner’s houses.






When he got tired of waiting for the railways to deliver his coal,
Henry Ford
bought an old railway, which ran between Ohio and Detroit. People laughed. But he
ran that railway and at a time when locomotive burnt coal and made everything dirty,
his engines sheds and stations were painted white and kept that way.





He did not like the quality of the glass he was getting for his windscreens. So he
bought
a
glass
factory,
improved
it,
and
became
—
quite
by
accident
—
one
of
the
world’s biggest glass producers. And yet all he wanted to do was build cars.






He
was
interested
in
everything,
in
radios,
clocks
and
planes.
He
flew
with
Lindbergh just before the famous pilot made his first flight alone across the Atlantic.
He even began to build planes.





Meanwhile,
Henry
and
his
wife
Clara
were
as
happy
a
couple
as
ever.
They
both loved birds, and often watched them together. Once, when a bird made its nests
by the front door, everyone used the back door until the mother bird had brought up
her family.





They also loved dancing, even in old age, and organized dancing classes for the
school children in their town.





Running was Henry’s favorite exercise. Early one morning a guest on the Ford
private train noticed that they were going rather slowly. He looked out and saw Henry
Ford running along behind the train, getting his morning exercise.
