Question
26、s 38- 47 are based on the following passage.ENBACE1003 (07)高级日常英语 第 7 页 （共 16 页）RedecorationLast October, I decided to completely redecorate my old house on Turkey Hill Road in Westport, California. The carpets, the furniture, the curtains, and the arrangement of the rooms were still the same as it
27、had been for 20 years. The kitchen was still the same shade of gray, and the curtains were still the same light green color. The bedrooms were the worst of all. They had been changed, slowly, from comfortable places to sleep into very messy storage rooms. The floors were covered with clothing, extra
28、 chairs, toys, and anything else that I couldnt find another place for.Throwing caution to the wind, I began on the endeavour. First, I chose a new colour scheme for the entire house. This was the best part of my project, because colour is what gives any house a basis for decoration. The colours tha
29、t I chose were much different from the old greens and blues that I used to have in the house. The new colours were mostly brown, gold, and gray. I had to paint the whole interior of the house, so I decided to hire some professional painters from Bright and Beautiful Painting Company. When the painte
30、rs saw how big my house was, they told me that the job would probably take at least a month! It did take them a month, but the house certainly was beautiful when they finished.Of course, redecorating doesnt include only painting. I went to look for curtains that would be different, bold, sturdy, and
31、 beautiful. I also had to find some carpenters to build more shelving. The carpenters changed a small hall behind the kitchen into a small library for some of the books that I couldnt keep in my other library.As each room was painted, everything in the very crowded room had to be moved to another ov
32、ercrowded room. So much time was spent, but it was worth it. While I was moving things, I discovered many old items that I had lost or forgotten about. For example, I found old clothes, old books, and even some things from my wedding!The last thing I did was to remove all the old carpet from the flo
33、or to reveal a beautiful old pine floor.ENBACE1003 (07)高级日常英语 第 8 页 （共 16 页）Im still waiting for some of the old furniture to be refurbished, the fabric for the dining-room chairs, a new sofa for the living room, a new desk for my office, and a new chair for my bedroom.A few last details still have
34、to be decided: Where do I put the television in my bedroom? Do I add heat to the master bedroom or keep it as it has been for twenty-five years, unheated? And I look forward to friendly lunches in the front porch, and suppers in front of the fire-place.Questions 38-47: Decide whether the following s
35、tatements are true, false, or not mentioned. Write T for “true”, F or “false” and NM for “not mentioned” on your Answer Sheet. _38. The writer bought the house twenty years ago._39. The writer thought the painting was the first and best step of the redecoration._40. It took the writer a month to pai
36、nt the whole interior of the house by himself._41. After the redecoration, the writer had two libraries at home._42. The space for books increased after the redecoration._43. The writer threw away the old carpet._44. The television will be placed in the bedroom._45. The master room used to be unheat
37、ed. _46. The last thing of the redecoration was to remove all the newly discovered old items._47. The whole redecoration was completed last October.Part 3. Questions 48-52 are based on the following passage.The Pain in Wearing High Heels1 They are wearing high heels this year.2 Are you?3 Since I was
38、 a little girl, I have been trying to figure out exactly who “they” are and why the rest of us are supposed to dress just like them. The heavier I was, the ENBACE1003 (07)高级日常英语 第 9 页 （共 16 页）more I would make fun of my sister and mother for their imitating: “Dont you have any taste of your own?”4 B
39、ut even I was interested in what shoes they were wearing. Everyone likes shoe-shopping. Your size is not your fault. There is nothing you can do about it. And at least in theory, anyone can wear any shoe: That is why they come in so many sizes.5 As foot specialists will tell you, shoes can be danger
40、ous to your feet. The thinner and higher the heel, the greater the risk of foot and back problems. Standing in high heels inevitably hurts after an hour on foot. This results in aches and pains.6 It gets worse. The popularity of tennis shoes has led womens feet literally to get bigger especially wid
41、er but the sizing of shoes has not changed. Most women wear shoes that fit poorly, usually ones that are too small, which adds pain to high-heel hell.7 So why do we do it? The traditional criticism is that women are slaves to male ideas. Fashion culture controlled by models leads us to offer your to
42、es and our check books to satisfy some mens idea of sexy shoes. Much of the advertising of this years return to heels as high as 6 inches focuses on the shoes and the sort skirts that go with them as a statement by women of their sexiness and female charm. Apparently, wearing high heels pushes your
43、breasts out by changing your center of gravity. In Florence and Milan, men were reportedly salivating.8 In Bloomingdales shoe department, all the salivating was done by women, myself included. Strictly as research, of course, I tried on shoes and observed other women doing the same. Almost everyone
44、is trying on the new higher heels. We stride around. We throw our heads a little, and laugh.9 Feet look smaller in high heels. Most women in America have big feet. Believe it or not, 91/2 is the most popular size. It is not just you. And it is not just feet. High heels make a womans leg look longer,
45、 and everyone looks better with longer legs. There is a story that holds that high heels were first brought to America by a famous New Orleans madam who discovered that she could charge twice as much when a woman wore high heels.10 In fact, none of the women I talked to were buying shoes to please t
46、he men in their lives. “My husband wont even notice the shoes,” a woman told me. More than ENBACE1003 (07)高级日常英语 第 10 页 （共 16 页）one said husbands or boyfriends would not like her because they would make her too tall. Most men seem to prefer keeping the height advantage to heels, pushed-out breasts n
47、otwithstanding. The higher the heels get, the more men who face the tradeoff.11 No one pretends high heels are as comfortable as flats. It is what they do to your head, not your feet. That is what makes women walk differently and look differently in high heels. 12 I almost succumbed, but they are to
48、o costly, and how often can I wear them? Not sensible. Not practical. Definitely not right for work and kids.13 But the next day in Leohmanns, on sale yet, I find a pair that is just as good. Now I just have to get invited somewhere in my high heels.Questions 48-52: Give brief answers to the following questions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.48. Who are “they” in the third parag
