25、or visit our website: www.southeast.co.ukPart 2. Questions 38- 47 are based on the following passage.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

26、still the same as it 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

27、 with clothing, extra 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 decora

28、tion. The colours that 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 Com

29、pany. When the painters 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 differe

30、nt, bold, sturdy, and 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 b

31、e moved to another overcrowded 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 ol

32、d carpet from the floor to reveal a beautiful old pine floor.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 to be decided:

33、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 statements are t

34、rue, 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 paint the whole in

35、terior 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 unheated. _46. The la

36、st 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 a little girl,

37、 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 more I would make fun of my sister and mother for their imitating: “Dont you have any taste of your own?”4 But even I was interested in what shoes they were we

38、aring. 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 dangerous to your feet. The thinner and higher the heel,

39、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 wider but the sizing of shoes has not changed. Most wo

40、men 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 toes and our check books to satisfy some mens idea of

41、 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 breasts out by changing your center of gravity. In

42、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 is trying on the new higher heels. We stride around

43、. 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, and everyone looks better with longer legs. There

44、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 the men in their lives. “My husband wont even notice

45、 the shoes,” a woman told me. More than 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 notwithstanding. The higher the heels get, the more men who face the tradeoff.11 No one p

46、retends 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 too costly, and how often can I wear them? Not sensible. Not practical. Definitely not rig

47、ht 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 par

48、agraph?49. What are the harms that high heels can do to people?50. Name at least two reasons why women wear high heels. 51. Does the writer feel buying high heels sensible? Which paragraph makes you think so?52. Will the writer buy any high heels in future? Which paragraph makes you think so?Section
