An embarrassing experience
It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled Lond trom Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my fiat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. I was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my
diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so fired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, "have you read this?" I replied with extreme foolishness, "Yes, hundreds of times. "
"And you have nothing to declare?"
"Nothing. "
"How long have you been out of this country?"
"About three months. "
"And during that time you have acquired nothing?"
"Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. "
He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected.
"Where did you get that watch?"
I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.
I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement.
"It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?"
It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.
26. When did the writer arrive at London airport?
[A] In the early morning. [B] Late at night.
[ C] At noon. [ D] Late in the morning.
27. What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?
[ A] He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.
[ B ] He must have noticed the writer' s ugly watch.
[ C ] He wanted to embarrass the writer.
[ D] He must have noticed the writer's tiredness.
28. What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market?
[ A] He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.
[ B ] He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.
[ C ] He didn't like the watch at all.
[D] He was indifferent to the watch.
29. What must have happened to the writer in the end?
[ A] He must have spent a long time at the customs and must have been let go without any punishment.
[ B ] He must have been given a fine as a punishment.
[ C] His Rolex must have been confiscated.
[ D ]His cheap watch must have been confiscated.
30. What do you think is the tone of the story?
[ A] Humorous. [ B] Sarcastic.
[ C 1 Solemn. [ D ] Matter-of-fact.

You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.
What if you say it first and your partner doesn' t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don't feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(——) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn' t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first?
"A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal. " All relationships go through power struggles but, he says,
if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. "That feeling of ' I' ve always loved you more' may be subverted(顛覆，破壞) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often
emerges in squabbling(大聲爭吵). " In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings," says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ' I love you' first may also be the one who says ' I' m bored with you' first. " Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it. "Is it said when they' re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is ' Please don' t be unfaithful to me' ? By saying ' I love you', they really saying' Do you love me?' If so, wouldn't it just be more honest to say that?" Collins agrees that intention is everything. "It' s not what is said, but how it' s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker. "
31. What is the main idea of this passage?
[ A ] The importance of "I love you".
[ B ] The meaning of "I love you".
[ C ] The time of saying "I love you".
[ D ] The place of saying "I love you".
32. In the first sentence the author means that
[ A ] it is easy to say "I love you"
[ B ] it is hard to say "I love you"
[ C ] we have many troubles in our life
[ D ] people usually do not know when to say "I love you"
33. According to the expert, a good relationship should be
[ A ] fair and equal [ B ] fair and kind
[ C ] powerful and equal [ D 1 confident and fair
34. In the third paragraph, the phrase "with the upper hand" means
[ A ] being low in spirit [ B ] having only one hand
[ C ] being active [ D ] being passive
35. What is the most important for you to consider when somebody say "I love you" to you?
[ A ] The intention. [ B ] The place.
[ C ] The time. [ D ] The determination.

參考譯文
一次尷尬的經(jīng)歷
當(dāng)我們到達(dá)倫敦機(jī)場的時(shí)候還是凌晨，我已經(jīng)從阿姆斯特丹往倫敦過電報(bào)了，預(yù)租了一輛車等我們，但是在我到達(dá)公寓之前又發(fā)生了一倒霉的事。在我所有的旅行經(jīng)歷中，英國海關(guān)從來沒有要求過我打開一個(gè)包，而且僅僅需要申明我沒有攜帶需交關(guān)稅的商品，只有這一次外。當(dāng)然，這是我的錯(cuò)，旅途的極度疲勞和神經(jīng)緊張已經(jīng)使我與人交的能力衰退了。不管出于什么原因，我太累了，累得幾乎站不穩(wěn)。對(duì)于關(guān)人員提出的問題，“你看過這個(gè)嗎?”我極度愚蠢地回答：“看過幾百了。”
“你沒有什么要申報(bào)的嗎?” “沒有。”
“你離開這個(gè)國家多久了?” “大概3個(gè)月了。”
“在這段時(shí)間里你什么也沒購置嗎?”
“除了我給你的清單上的東西什么也沒有�！�
他似乎有片刻的疑惑，但是過后他發(fā)起進(jìn)攻了，當(dāng)進(jìn)攻發(fā)起的時(shí)候，完全出乎我的意料的。
“那塊手表從哪來的?”
我懊惱極了，兩天前和朋友在浴室打水仗的時(shí)候，我忘記把我的勞士伊司特表摘下來了，它就很自然地停了，我去一家商店花l2先令6士買了這塊丑陋的表，它還發(fā)出很奇怪的聲音。在旅程中它莫名其妙停了兩次。
我解釋了但是我已經(jīng)丟了面子，我從口袋里拿出自己的手表給他，并且補(bǔ)充說如果他沒收那件替代品我會(huì)很感激。
“這不是沒收的問題O”他說，“不申報(bào)關(guān)稅商品要罰款，現(xiàn)在可以把塊勞力士給我檢查嗎?”
我又花了l5分鐘說服他這塊勞力士不是私運(yùn)品，然后他開始搜查的行李。
答案及解析
26.A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一句話說“It was the small hours of themorning when we arrived at London Airport.”，這里的“smallhours”意思是“凌晨”，可知作者是在凌晨到達(dá)。故選A。
27.B【解析】推理題。海關(guān)官員問作者的表是從哪來的，而且是非常突然地發(fā)問，可推測他已經(jīng)注意到那塊表了。故選B。
28.C 【解析】推理題。從作者描述這塊手表時(shí)所用的語言，如“ugly”“made a strange noise”可以看出作者并不喜歡這塊表。
29.B【解析】推理題。從海關(guān)官員說“這不是沒收的問題，不申報(bào)關(guān)稅要罰款”可見作者最后被罰款。fine有“罰款”的意思。
30.A【解析】推理題。作者在文中用了很多對(duì)話，說明語氣是輕松的，且從作者敘述的方式可以看出寫作手法很幽默。故選A。

參考譯文
你一定曾經(jīng)為何時(shí)說“我愛你”而煩惱過，因?yàn)檫@是我們生活中的一大難題。
如果你先說“我愛你”而對(duì)方卻不回應(yīng)，或者對(duì)方也這么說但你覺得他或她并非當(dāng)真，那該怎么辦?如你先說愛一個(gè)人，會(huì)讓人緊張，而且也很冒險(xiǎn)，它會(huì)讓你覺得像沒了硬殼的海龜那樣容易受到傷害。但先說出口的人真的是處于劣勢嗎?隱而不宣，冷靜地等待，讓對(duì)方采取主動(dòng)會(huì)更好嗎?
“真正良好的兩性關(guān)系應(yīng)該是合理平等的”，心理學(xué)家悉德尼.克朗說，“但愛情很少是平等的。”所有的兩性關(guān)系都會(huì)有權(quán)力的斗爭，但是。他說，如果愛情失去平衡，那么數(shù)年之后就會(huì)開始出現(xiàn)問題�！覍�(duì)你的愛更多'的情況暫時(shí)不再繼續(xù)，但這種感覺卻不會(huì)消失，且常常會(huì)在爭吵中出現(xiàn)�！敝辽僭趷矍樯�，沉默含蓄的那種類型并不總是最強(qiáng)有力的�！皟尚躁P(guān)系中最強(qiáng)大的一方常常是感覺自信能說出自己的感受的人。”教育心理學(xué)家因格瑞·柯林斯說。性心理治療學(xué)家波拉·霍爾贊同說，“占上風(fēng)的常常是采取主動(dòng)的人。實(shí)際上，先說‘我愛你'的人往往也是先說‘我討厭你'的人�！被魻栒J(rèn)為，很大程度上取決于說“我愛你”的方式和說話人的動(dòng)機(jī)�！八麄兪窃诤茸頃r(shí)說的嗎?是在對(duì)方乘飛機(jī)度假前說的嗎?而其真正的含義是‘請一定要對(duì)我忠誠'?是不是表面上說：‘我愛你'，而真正想說的卻是‘你愛我嗎?'如果這樣，直截了當(dāng)?shù)卣f不是更誠實(shí)嗎?”考林也認(rèn)為你的動(dòng)機(jī)決定一切。“重要的不在于說話內(nèi)容而在于說話的方式。歸根到底是說話人的真誠�！�
答案及解析
31.C【解析】這篇文章主要講述的是說“我愛你”的時(shí)機(jī)，是采取主動(dòng)還是處于被動(dòng)，以及說話者的動(dòng)機(jī)。
32.D【解析】“You must have been troubled by when to say‘I love you，because it IS one of the greatest puzzles in Our life.”也就是說人們?yōu)楹螘r(shí)說“我愛你”而煩惱。
33.A【解析】見第三段的“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal”。
34.C【解析】此題是詞義解析，意思是“占了上風(fēng)”。
35.A【解析】從第三段末考林的話語中可以分析出來是你的動(dòng)機(jī)決定一切。“重要的不在于說話內(nèi)容而在于說話的方式。歸根到底是說話人的真誠�！�
