PART Ⅱ READING COMPREHENSION（45 MIN）

SECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS

In this section there are three passages followed by fourteen multiple choice questions. For

each multiple choice question, there are four suggested answers marked [A], [B], [C] and [D].

Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET

TWO.

PASSAGE ONE

(1) There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights. In his blue

gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and

the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft or

taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his two motor-boats slit the waters of the

Sound, drawing aquaplanes （滑水板）over cataracts of foam. On weekends Mr. Gatsby’s

Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the

morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to

meet all trains. And on Mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with

scrubbing-brushes and hammer and garden-shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.

(2) Every Friday five crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruiterer in New York –

every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in a pyramid of pulpless halves.

There was a machine in the kitchen which could extract the juice of two hundred oranges in half

an hour if a little button was pressed two hundred times by a butler’s thumb.

(3)At least once a fortnight a corps of caterers came down with several hundred feet of

canvas and enough colored lights to make a Christmas tree of Gatsby’s enormous garden. On

buffet tables, garnished with glistening hors-d’oeuvre （冷盘）, spiced baked hams crowded

against salads of harlequin designs and pastry pigs and turkeys bewitched to a dark gold. In the

main hall a bar with a real brass rail was set up, and stocked with gins and liquors and with

cordials（加香甜酒）so long forgotten that most of his female guests were too young to know

one from another.

(4) By seven o’clock the orchestra has arrived – no thin five-piece affair but a whole pitful

of oboes and trombones and saxophones and viols and cornets and piccolos and low and high

drums. The last swimmers have come in from the beach now and are dressing upstairs; the cars

from New York are parked five deep in the drive, and already the halls and salons and verandas

are gaudy with primary colors and hair shorn in strange new ways, and shawls beyond the

dreams of Castile. The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden

outside until the air is alive with chatter and laughter and casual innuendo and introductions

forgotten on the spot and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other’s

names.

(5) The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra

is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher. Laughter is easier,

minute by minute, spilled with prodigality, tipped out at a cheerful word.

(6)The groups change more swiftly, swell with new arrivals, dissolve and form in the same

breath – already there are wanderers, confident girls who weave here and there among the

stouter and more stable, become for a sharp joyous moment the center of a group and then,

excited with triumph, glide on through the sea-change of faces and voices and color under the

constantly changing light.

(7)Suddenly one of these gypsies in trembling opal, seizes a cocktail out of the air, dumps it

down for courage and, moving her hands like Frisco, dances out alone on the canvas platform. A

momentary hush; the orchestra leader varies his rhythm obligingly for her, and there is a burst of

chatter as the erroneous news goes around that she is Gilda Gray’s understudy from the Follies.

The party has begun.

(8)I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby’s house I was one of the few guests who

had actually been invited. People were not invited – they went there. They got into automobiles

which bore them out to Long Island, and somehow they ended up at Gatsby’s door. Once there

they were introduced by somebody who knew Gatsby, and after that they conducted themselves

according to the rules of behavior associated with amusement parks. Sometimes they came and

went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its

own ticket of admission.

(9)I had been actually invited. A chauffeur in a uniform crossed my lawn early that

Saturday morning with a surprisingly formal note from his employer – the honor would be

entirely Gatsby’s, it said, if I would attend his “little party” that night. He had seen me several

times and had intended to call on me long before but a peculiar combination of circumstances

had prevented it – signed Jay Gatsby in a majestic hand.

(10)Dressed up in white flannels I went over to his lawn a little after seven and wandered

around rather ill-at-ease among swirls and eddies of people I didn’t know – though here and

there was a face I had noticed on the commuting train. I was immediately struck by the number
