The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.
“Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.
“And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.
The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.
The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (數(shù)字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.” Robert noticed the word “may.” He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.
In the story the Financial Controller was a person who was in charge of________.
A. Robert’s department’s programmes. B. EBC programmes.
C. EBC money. D. both B and C.
“Your request is out of the question.” Here “out of the question”means_______.
A. without any question B. with some question. C. impossible. D. possible.
Robert decided to make more programmes because________.
A. he wanted to meet the needs of the listeners.
B. “the FC”disliked him
C. the members of his department wanted him to do so.
D. he wanted to show himself off.
Why were more and more people listening to Robert’s programmes?
A. Because he always lost his temper (脾氣).
B. Because he disliked “the FC.”
C. Because the programmes were rich and to the taste of the listeners.
D. We don’t know.
Who do you think won the argument(爭論)in the end?
A. The Financial Controller. B. Robert. C. Nobody. D. The listeners.

第三部分：閱讀理解(共20小題，每小題2，滿分40分)
A
When he thought of the past,my grandfather would sometimes show us photographs of himself at school. They were brown and faded,and it was hard to believe that the blurred figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been Grandfather. Besides,he wore a cap---andthe boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces were obscured. When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group,we would surely point to the wrong boy.
On one such occasion my younger sister,aged six,burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy. "How could that boy be you?"she cried. "He should have a beard.” We were,of course,all convinced that grandfathers should have beards ,preferably white and bushy,like our owngrandfather's.
"I wasa good scholar ,”Grandfather would say,wagging his beard over the photographs."I should have been top of the c1ass if I hadn't had to get up at six every morning to milk the cows and chop the wood,and again when I came home from school.”
"But Saturdays?What did you do on Saturdays?"
"Saturdays,if it was fine, I’d be out all day in the fields with the men,"replied Grandfather."And if it was wet,I’d be helping my mother with odd jobs round the house.There wasn't much time for studying."
We all tried hard to imagine what it would have been like to have been Grandfather getting up at crack of dawn and never,obviously,having amoment for himself.It seemed we had learnt something from what Grandfather had said about his childhood.

A.his grandfather used to wear short trousers,socks and a cap as well
B.it was difficult to tell which of the boys inthe photographs was Grandfather

D.she found Grandfather in the photographsdid not have a beard
58.When Grandfather said,"I should have been topof the class….",he meant________.
A if he had had more time for studying,hewould have been the best in his class
B.he should have spent more time studyingrather than playing ballgames
C.his school days should not have been so hard and miserable
D.he could have never been the best studenteven if he had studied still harder

More American people take their troubles with them on holiday, according to a new survey. Although 40 percent said that the main reason for going away is to escape pressure (壓力) from work, almost all said they worry more than they do at home. Only four in every 100 said that they are happy and free of care.
The most common worry is burglary ( 入室盜竊) , with four out of 10 worrying about their homes being broken into while they’re abroad．More than a quarter fear they will feel crazy with some other noisy and rough holiday-makers and 22 percent worry they may be attacked or their possessions will be missing. One in five think the car may break down; and the same number worry about the chances of bad weather.
The survey also showed that the stay-at-home Americans are no more. Three out of every five want to have a holiday abroad, a great increase from the figures only three years ago. The hotel holiday is still a winner, with about one third of all Americana preferring to go on a self-catering ( 自助 ) holiday.
【小題1】The underlined word “survey” in the first paragraph most probably means ______.
| A．research | B．review | C．exhibition | D．examination |
| A．25% | B．40% | C．80% | D．95% |
| A．be attacked or lose their possessions |
| B．have problems with their cars on the road |

A new enemy is threatening Japanese traditions: leisure（閑暇）. As part of its attempt to increase imports, the government is trying to get people to work less and spend more. The workers are disgusted.
The figures support the western prejudice（偏見） that the Japanese are all work and no play. Trying to force workers away from their desks and machines, the government said last April that the country should cut down from its 2,100 hours average work year to 1,899 hours and a five-day week by 1992. Beginning in February, banks and stock markets will be closed on Saturdays, staff of civil service will be forced out of their offices two Saturdays a month. The government hopes that others will follow that practice.
But some persuasion will be needed. Small companies are very angry about it and they fear competitors may not cut hours. The unions are no happier: they have even advertised in newspapers arguing their case against the foreign pressure that is forcing leisure upon them. They say that shorter hours are a disguised（隱性的） pay cut. The industrialists, who have no objection to the government’s plans, admit that shorter hours will help them cut costs. Younger Japanese who are supposed to be acting against their hard-working parents, show no sign of wanting time off, either. But unlike older workers, they do spend money in their spare time. Not content with watching television, they dance, dress up, sit in cafes, go to pop concerts and generally drive the leisure-industry boom. Now that they know how to consume, maybe the West can teach them to relax and enjoy themselves, too.
1.The purpose of getting the Japanese to have more spare time is that .
A．the government wants to show more concern for the health of the people
B．the government needs to get more goods from abroad
C．the Japanese have been working too hard
D．the Japanese hope to change the western prejudice
2.The group of people who welcome the shorter-hour system in Japan is .
A．the small companies B．the industrialists
C．the unions D．the younger generation
3.The unions think that .
A．the shorter hours they work, the higher pay the can get
B．the more they work, the less leisure they can enjoy
C．the shorter hours they work, the less pay they can have
D．the greater pressure the government is forcing on them, the less happy they can be
4.The best title for this passage can be .
A．Oh no! Not Saturday Again! B．Leisure: the Greatest Threat!
C．Enjoy While You are Young! D．Less Work and More Play!
