V READING COMPREHENSION (10 PTS)
Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer Passage 1
(4)Sundays gardening He is knowledgeable about art and architecture, though he doesn’t pretend to be an expert by any means It is, therefore, all the more surprising that he should be so insistent about the ghost It happened, so he says, like this:
He was travelling from London to the north of England by train It was a misty November evening and the train was half empty In fact, for the first part of the journey Mr Turner had the carriage to himself and sat dozing over a newspaper However, at the first stop a passenger jumped in, slamming the door behind him He seemed out of his breath as if he had been running He was a striking looking young man with dark, bushy hair and bright intelligent eyes He was dressed rather oddly in a long waistcoat with silver buttons, tight trousers and embroidered waistcoat Mr Turner didn’t pay much attention to this because people wear all sorts of extravagant clothes these days and he had long grown accustomed to them
Presently, the two men got into conversation, as people on long journeys Mr Turner was interested to discover that the young man was very knowledgeable about art – in particular portraits His name, he said, was Joseph Hart, and he was on his way to visit an exhibition It seemed that he worked in a famous London Art Gallery – a picture restorer, perhaps, thought Mr Turner, he seemed to know a great deal about varnishes and paints, and even more about the subjects of certain portraits When Mr Turner asked his opinion of the portrait of a famous judge by an artist he admired, his companion laughed and said: “He’s only a reproduction – a good one I agree but you can’t talk to a reproduction” He spoke as though the person in the portrait were still living
After a while the carriage got hot and steamy and Mr Turner dropped off He woke up just as the train was drawing up at a junction with a grinding of brakes His companion had disappeared
A few days later, having returned to London, Mr Turner found himself near the Art Gallery Moved by some impulse, he went in and inquired for Joseph Hart The attendant directed him to a room devoted to early nineteenth century portraits of well-known men There was no one in the room and Mr Turner looked around him Without knowing quite how he had got there, he found himself standing in front of a full-length portrait of a young dark man in tight trousers and an embroidered waistcoat The eyes smiled at him with a hint of amusement The name-plate at the foot of the picture read: Joseph Hart, Gentleman,
1800-1835.
41 What kind of person was Mr Turner?
A Imaginative B Fantastic C Sensible D Insensitive 42 Although he was a lawyer, Mr Turner _
A pretended to know a lot about art B knew something about art C pretended to take interest in art D intended to learn more about art 43 When the passenger entered Mr Turner’s department,

C the train was just training D the carriage was half-empty 44 The passenger’s clothes didn’t seem strange to Mr Turner because
A he was used to wearing strange clothes B he liked people who wore strange clothes C everyone he knew wore strange clothes D he had seen a lot of people in strange clothes 45 Mr Turner thought the young man might _
A be an art dealer B be an art expert
C renew old pictures D paint reproductions of old pictures 46 Why wouldn’t the young man give an opinion on the portrait of the judge?
A The judge wasn’t alive B The judge was still alive C The picture was a copy D He hadn’t seen it
47 When did Mr Turner first realize that the passenger had gone? A When the train started
B After the train had stopped C Just before the train stopped
D When the train was leaving the station 48 Why did Mr Turner go into the Art Gallery?
(5)49 In the part of the Gallery that Mr Turner was directed to, A there were a lot of pictures of unknown people
B there were a lot of nineteenth century people C no one else was looking at the pictures D he only saw one portrait
50 When Mr Turner looked the portrait of Joseph Hart, _
A he smiled at it B he thought it smiled at him C he didn’t recognize it D he was amused

Instead of giving endless advice, learn to listen more Listening is an underestimating skill, and it is easy to forget when you are worrying about other people problems How many times we say, “Oh yeah, that happen to me and …” before we give the other person a chance to explain what happened to him Sometimes a friend may just want to talk something about with someone else to sort things out in his own mind – so listen hardly to what he is saying, and try to offer advices only when you think he is asking for it
We often feel we have been let down by a friend at some points in our life Perhaps they let out a secret we trusted them to keep under wraps, or sudden sided with the opposition during an argument Nobody is perfect, so try to have realistic expectation Friendships don’t develop over night; they deepen over time as you begin to trust one other Don’t place unrealistic demands on your friendship
