Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked A, B, Cand D. Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
During the winter, most London auctioneers(拍賣商) have wine auctions. Some are of wines for21drinking, but most are of fine wines. East winter, at Christies, a dozen bottles of Lafite 1945 were 22down at£158 a bottle. 1945 and 1961 are the two most 23vintage years for claret (紅葡萄酒). Of course, that is not the maximum you could pay. Not24ago, an American at Christies paid£8,500 for one bottle of Lafite 1806.
Sometimes, it is a matter of personal25by the very rich. At other times there can be a
26objective. Last October, a restaurateur from Memphis, paid£9,000 for a magnum--that is, a two-bottle size--of 1864 Lafite. He2730 people£1,500 each for a dinner with a small glass of the wine. It was 28ten times the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant.
Of course, some people buy wine purely for investment. On the other hand, a real wine lover will use the 29value of good wine to pay for his own drinking. A syndicate of four will buy a 30of Lafite 1945 at, say,£2,000. Each takes three bottles. Then each drinks one bottle, and keeps theother two to sell later at the 31price as the three cost in the first place. That is, naturally, takinginflation into 32
But there is no 33that a bottle of wine at£1,000 is a hundred times 34than one thatcosts£10. Perhaps the top price you can pay for wine to enjoy for drinking is£100 a bottle. Above£100, you are paying for something 35than taste.

Sometimes children are kidnapped. Kidnapping is like stealing a child. It is important that

The sooner the public knows about a kidnapping the sooner they might be able to help. Some
people decided to start a program that would alert the public about kidnappings right away. Thisprogram is called Care Alert.

Sometimes one parent of a child kidnaps his or her own child. These kidnappings are not usually
used in the Care Alert program. The Care Alert program is only used when a stranger has taken a

Passage Two
Japan's 24-hour convenience stores, already struggling with lagging sales and growth, may soon
face yet another threat--moves to limit business hours and close the stores late at night. The prefectureof Saitama, which borders Tokyo, may follow in the footsteps of the western city of Kyoto and urgeconvenience stores to close during late night hours in an effort to limit carbon dioxide emissions.
Kyoto, a former capital, wants to persuade convenience and other 24-hour stores to close late atnight so as to improve evening views of the city and cut down on energy use. The Nikkei said closurescould last from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. The move is strongly opposed by the industry, which fears awithering impact on an already troubled sector also grappling with the specter of a higher tobacco tax,which could hit overall sales.
"Even if we only operate the stores for 16 hours, we can't stop the refrigerators," said Toshiro
Yamaguchi, the president of Seven-Eleven Japan Co. He said such cuts in operating hours would
reduce each store's profit by 20 percent. "If this happens, our current business model will lose itsfoundation. "
Analysts said that while it is difficult to estimate the potential impact of the move without a
concrete plan, their overall impression was that it was likely to he negative. "This could cut profits andlead to less efficient operations and the increased loss of opportunities," said Masafumi Shoda, an analyst. " But h depends on the store--urban stores do better than others. There are some in the countryside that are inefficient. "
40. Which Japanese city was the first to try to limit conventience store hours?
A. Saitama.
B. Tokyo.
C. Kyoto.
D. Nagoya.
41. What's the main goal behind the proposal?

B. To limit carbon dioxide emissions.
C. To sell more tobacco products.
D. To increase each store's profit.
42. How's the convenience store sector doing in Japan?

B. It's doing great.
C. Not very well.
D. Cannot see clearly.
43. According to the article, which convenience stores are generally more successful?

Passage Five
Why would anyone want to push themselves into the public eye?
"Famous people have usually experienced a negative event during childhood--often it's the loss ofa parent, or rejection from a key figure in their life at a younger age," said Professor Cary Cooper. Hesuggested that" their motivator is therefore to achieve something they thought they couldn't manage".
He added that their fame often takes them away from "ordinary people", and they're "thrown intoa celebrity group of other people who are insecure".
Canadian psychologist Mark Schaller argued that exposure to fame inevitably producespsychological disturbance. The famous become more chronically self-conscious and self-aware becauseof all the attention.
Famous people constantly experience that " merely momentary discomfort" of heightened self-
consciousness you feel when someone points a camera at you, said Dr Persaud. And Prof Cooper saidcelebrities often suffer from depression, and turning to drink or drugs could be a result of them oftenfeeling "lonely when not on stage". Being away from home a lot, being under the scrutiny of thepress, difficulty sustaining relationships--all of this " makes them vulnerable" and often has a "stress-related outcome".
And, of course, the public's fascination with celebrities helps fuel their fame. But why do people
find them so exciting? Prof Cooper said it is all about our need for " communality"--a feeling of
belonging. We talk about people in the public eye and use people as metaphors in public life for ourown lives. But he added that we do not actually care about them as individuals--unfortunately for thecelebrities we are interested only in how their own lives might reflect our own.
52. Many people need to be famous because they want
A. the money
B. to follow their parents' steps
C. to be the best
D. to fight back the negative opinion from close ones
53. Mark Schaller thinks that fame
A. always causes some kind of psychological problems
B. always end in self-destruction
C. may cause minor social adjustments
D. gives moral support to the individual
54. Some famous characters turn to drugs and alcohol because they
A. are in bad company
B. feel lonely
C. enjoy it
D. need it to keep on working
55. People love having celebrities as
A. we want them to be part of ourselves
B. they truly admire their skills or looks
C. they are a good topic to speak about
D. everybody likes glamour

【原文大意】
一到冬天,倫敦的拍賣商就會舉行葡萄酒拍賣會。有些酒是為日常飲用的,但大多數則是名
酒。去年冬天,在Christies拍賣場有一打l945年釀的拉菲紅酒以每瓶l58英鎊拍出。l945年和1961年是紅酒最近的兩個最佳釀酒年。當然,這并不是最高價。不久前,一個美國人在這個拍賣場花了8 500英鎊買了一瓶l806年的拉菲紅酒。
有時,收購名酒是富人的嗜好,有時,則是為商業目的。去年10月,一個來自孟菲斯的餐館老板花了9 000英鎊買了一大瓶酒,其容量相當于兩瓶1864年的拉菲紅酒。他以每小杯l 500英鎊的價格賣給30位在他店里用餐的顧客,相當于眾所周知價格的10倍。
當然,有些人買紅酒純粹是為了投資。而真正的紅酒愛好者是利用名酒的升值空間來為自己的享用買單。有一個四人組合,買一箱l945年的拉菲,假設2 000英鎊。每人拿走3瓶。然后,每人喝一瓶,剩下的兩瓶以最初三瓶的價格出售。這就是說,這是把通貨膨脹的因素考慮進去了。
但是,價值1 000英鎊的酒不可能比價格低于它100倍的l0英鎊的酒味道好100倍。如你只是享受飲名酒,最高的價位是每瓶l00英鎊。超出這個價格,你所買的就不僅是味道了。
