B [2010·全国大联考预测卷] 词数:289 体裁:记叙文 难度:3 Last year.I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC.I heard a voice say, “Can you help me? When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended.Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her.But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money.I just need help finding the post office. In an instant, I realized what I had done.I acted with prejudice―I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be.I hated what I saw in myself. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant.I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15.I started my new life with two suitcases,my brother and sister.Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humblejobs, and eventually I became a network engineer. In my own life, I have experienced prejudice.I remember a time―at the age of 17―when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been ,and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness.She reminded me of my belief in humility.By the way, I helped that lady to the post office.I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson. 查看更多

  One of my difficulties is to spell English. English words are too difficult to spell correctly. I always need a 1 which I can keep 2 me when writing. When I think 3 a word that I am not sure I can spell, I look it 4 in the dictionary. But what 5 words I think I really can spell? Some of these words are the 6 that I always spell wrongly!

  What I need 7 a book that contains (包含) all the words spell 8 . Where can I find it? Properly I shall have to write it 9 ! Of course, I need a book which I can rely on (依靠). If I can't rely on it, 10 is the use of it? Also, it must be a book to carry 11 , so it must be small 12 to put in my pocket.

  An Englishman 13 I knew to be a university lecturer once told me that 14 the most educated Englishman 15 spell every English word correctly! If he hears a new word which he has never heard before, he cannot be 16 how to spell it! I was so surprised that I wouldn't believe it, but he said, 17 , there are nearly 18 a million words in English, and nobody knows all of them, and secondly, English is not spelled phonetically (根据语音地).

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
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.
