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
【小题1】______
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.
【小题2】 ______
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.
【小题3】 ______
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.
【小题4】 ______
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.
【小题5】 ______
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.

阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案

　A radar (雷达) set produces radio waves and then gives them out into space by means of antenna (天线) . When the radio waves get to an object, they will come back to the radar antenna. The radar set then changes the radio echoes (回波) into an image (图像) . And from this image we can find out the direction of the object and its distance from the set.

　How can the radar show us the distance to the object then? Radio waves go out at a known speed about 300,000 kilometers every second. If the radio waves come back in 1/1,000 second, then they just have gone 300 kilometers. So the object must be half that distance, that is, 150 kilometers away.

(1) When the radio waves reach an object, they will _____.

[　　]

A．change their direction

B．return to their antenna

C．disappear completely

D．go through the object

(2) We can find out where the object is _____.

[　　]

A．by means of antenna

B．from the radio waves

C．from the picture the antenna receives

D．from the radio echo

(3) Which of the following orders shows rightly how a radar works?

[　　]

a．The operator determines the distance and the direction according to the image

b．Radio waves are sent out into space by radar

c．Antenna receives the radio echoes and changes them into an image

d．Image of object is shown on the screen

A．b-d-c-a　　　B．b-c-d-a

C．b-c-a-d　　　D．b-a-d-c

(4) Which of the following formula (公式) is correct to judge the distance of an object?

[　　]

D　distance

T　time for the radio waves to reach an object and come back

S　speed of the radio waves

A．D=TS/2　　　B．D=TS

C．D=2T/S　　　D．D=2S/T

(5) The reason why the object must be half the distance is that _____.

[　　]

A．the radio waves come back after they reach an object

B．the radio waves are divided into two halves

C．the radio waves will go a long way

D．the radio waves will not go a long way
