But she,a 29-year-old woman,who has a degree in English Literature (文学) ，is so 2 with British men that she joined the English Rose dating agency to get in 3 with single American males.
"English men are usually materialistic (现实主义的) and have 4 imagination (想象力) ”， she says. " I have 5 years being bored by men who never do anything exciting.

In her search for the perfect man,Nicolette once 8 an advertisement in a magazine for 9 people and had 400 replies. But she says , " I only met one or two of them. 10 of the others sounded very boring."
Nicolette joined English Rose about 18 months 11 and has met some since then. She says, "I 12 that American men are more romantic (浪漫的) and thoughtful (体贴的) than British men. I 13 one in the States,and afterwards he sent me 200 dollars to pay 14 the call."
"I've met five so far but I'm looking for someone very 15 I'd like to find a caring,welleducated,non-smoking,animallover with a professional job and a sense of adventure."

1. C 固定搭配:have a job as..."有一份当……的工作"。
2. B 根据下文第2段可知作者对英国男人感到厌倦，故用be bored with...表达"对……感到厌倦"之意。
3. A 根据下文第2段知道作者对英国男人感到厌倦，才通过婚姻介绍所想和美国男人取得联系(get in touch with sb) 。

5. B 固定结构。spend...(in) doing sth"某人花费……做某事"。
6. D 根据文章知道她只是想通过婚姻介绍所"找到"(find) 伴侣，但是还没找到，故还没有达到marry/accept的程度。receive意为"接收，收到"，也不合情理。

10. C 有400人回复，她只见了一两个，那么剩下所有的都(all of the others) 很令人乏味，故她才没有去和他们见面。

15. C 下文已经有提示：I'd like to find a caring,welleducated,non-smoking,animallover with a professional job and a sense of adventure,表示要找一个"特殊，非同于一般的"人。
