Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. Goods for auction (拍卖) sales

  B. Definition of bidding

  C. Way to sell more goods by auction

  D. Auction sales in history

  E. Brief introduction to auctions

  F. Making a larger profit as an auctioneer

61. ______

Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.

62. ______

The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.

63. ______

Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.

64. ______

An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.

65. ______

The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.

61 -- 65 EDACF      


解析:

本文介绍的是拍卖。

61. E从第一句话可以看出是对拍卖的简单介绍。

62. D第一句话就讲了the ancient Roman 买卖是通过auction创造的,且讲述了auction这个词的由来,所以这一段是讲拍卖的历史。

63. A由第一句中all goods和下文举的例子coffee等可知这是介绍拍卖的货物。

64. C先是打广告advertise,然后不够就采用lot的方法,说明这讲的是拍卖的方式 

65. F 由第一句The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of …提示了这一段讲的是拍卖人所得的利润。

【小题10】 I couldn’t take it any longer, so I went out of the house quietly and 【小题11】  him on his journey. As I leaned into spy on him. I saw the most  【小题12】  sight.

All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like one little boy saved deer.
