2014上海普陀区二模英语试题答案(3)

12. Was the woman pleased when she saw the items they had delivered?
13. What happened in the end?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following news.
     Some people dream of being President of the United States. Some dream of becoming stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight. But, could a dream like that come true in real life? Well, it did happen to Peter Johnson.
    Peter was an auto mechanic. One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him. The guards and other employees stood back and let him put the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money. No one pressed an alarm. No one pulled a gun. No one called the police. Why did the allow him to get away with it?
    Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entitled him to enter the union Trust bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets.
    As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly, trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find. When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was $ 5,000 richer.
Questions    
14. Why did Peter go to the Union Trust bank?
15. What did the guards do when Peter stared gathering the money?
16. Why didn’t Peter take more money from the bank?

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.
M：Well, Shirley, now that we’ve seen the three apartments, which one do you like best?
W：I don’t know, Bred. I know one thing. I didn’t like the one on the 68th Street.
M：Neither did I. Let’s cross that one off. That leaves the 72nd Street one and the 80th Street one.
W：The one on the 80th Street has a better view, and a very cheerful kitchen.
M: Yes, and I like the carpet in the hall. It was clean. But there was no good place to put a desk.
W：That’s true. You could always just put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn’t have any privacy, and the bedroom was too small.
M：Right. And I need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked into by nosy visitors.
W：Oh, Brad, we don’t have that kind of visitors. But I do agree the desk shouldn’t be in the living room. It’s a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 72nd Street apartment? It has a dining area. We could eat in the kitchen, and put the desk in the dining area. It’s more private there.
M：Yes, that sounds OK. Only, what I didn’t like about that place was the west window. I gets quite hot in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.
W：Didn’t you notice the air-conditioner?
M：No, was there one?
W：Yes. And we could improve on the curtains, too.
M：That place did have the best parking facilities of the three.
W：Yes, I think that apartment is best for our needs. There’s good parking. And there’s semiprivate area for your desk.
M：OK. Let’s take that one.
