College English B 阅读理解真题演练(3)

Pubs are supposed to be the Englishman's favorite meeting place, where he can get together with a few friends over a pint of beer and talk about football, or horse racing, or business.

You may notice that the pub is the place for men, but not for women. Even now it is still not quite respectable for a woman to go into a pub alone; she must have a man to escort and protect her. Perhaps that's partly why pubs depress me they are intended mainly to provide for male interests, which are often pretty narrow. I think this male-dominated atmosphere also reminds me of my life back at school, or in the army, neither of which is an experience I much want to relive.

However, I'm obviously in the minority. Most Englishmen have their local pubs, where they can escape from the pressures of family life or work, and if they are lucky, tell their troubles to a pretty barmaid. Indeed, many men dream of retiring from their 9- 5 jobs and buying a little country pub, where they imagine they'll be the host of a seven-nights-a-week party. This dream usually dies when cleaning up spilled beer at one o'clock in the morning.

Still, there's a pub for every type of man, from the city sophisticate to the rural primitive, and a man for every type of pub. And I must admit that, for someone who doesn't like them, I've spent a lot of time in pubs of various kinds. (缺题目) 答案BCADD

Passage 10

Long, long ago there was no zero. To write the number sixty-three people wrote 63. To write six hundred and three, people wrote 63. The space between six and three was there to mean \any\
