PART II READING COMPREHENSION

SECTION A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

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)When it came to concealing his troubles, Tommy Wilhelm was not less capable than die next

fellow. So at least he thought, and there was a certain amount of evidence to back him up.

He had once been an actor^ no, not quite, an extra — and he knew what acting should be.

Also, he was smoking a cigar, and when a man is smoking a cigar, wearing a hat, he has an

advantage; it is harder to find out how he feels. He came from the twenty-third floor down

to the lobby on the mezzanine to collect his mail before breakfast, and he believed^ he

hoped — that he looked passably well: doing all right. It was a matter of sheer hope,

because there was not much that he could add to his present effort. On the fourteenth floor

he looked for his father to enter the elevator; they often met at this hour, on the way to

breakfast. If he worried about his appearance it was mainly for his old father’s sake. But

there was no stop on the fourteenth, and the elevator sank and sank. Then the smooth door

opened and the great dark-red uneven carpet that covered the lobby billowed toward

Wilhelm’s feet. In the foreground the lobby was dark, sleepy. French drapes like sails kept

out the sun, but three high, narrow windows were open, and in the blue air Wilhelm saw a

pigeon about to light on the great chain that supported the marquee of the movie house

directly underneath the lobby. For one moment he heard the wings beating strongly.

(2)Most of the guests at the Hotel Gloriana were past the age of retirement. Along Broadway

in the Seventies, Eighties, and Nineties, a great part of New York’s vast population of old

men and women lives. Unless the weather is too cold or wet they fill the benches about the

tiny railed parks and along the subway gratings from Verdi Square to Columbia University,

they crowd the shops and cafeterias, the dime stores, the tearooms, the bakeries, the beauty

parlors, the reading rooms and club rooms. Among these old people at the Gloriana, Wilhelm

felt out of

place. He was comparatively young, in his middle forties, large and blond, with big

shoulders; his back was heavy and strong, if already a little stooped or thickened. After

breakfast the old guests sat down on the green leather armchairs and sofas in the lobby and

began to gossip and look into the.papers; they had nothing to do but wait out the day. But

Wilhelm was used to an active life and liked to go out energetically in the morning. And for

several months, because he had no position, he had kept up his morale by rising early; he

was shaved and in the lobby by eight o'clock. He bought the paper and some cigars and drank

a Coca-Cola or two before he went in to

breakfast with his father. After breakfast 一 out, out, out to attend to business. The

getting out had in itself

become the chief business. But he had realized that he could not keep this up much longer,

and today he was afraid. He was aware that his routine was about to break up and he sensed

that a huge trouble long presaged (预感)but till now formless was due. Before evening, he'd

know.

(3)Nevertheless he followed his daily course and crossed the lobby.

(4)Rubin, the man at the newsstand, had poor eyes. They may not have been actually weak but

they were poor in expression, with lacy lids that furled down at the comers. He dressed

well. It didn't seem necessary 一 he was behind the counter most of the time — but he

dressed very well. He had on a rich brown suit; the cuffs embarrassed the hairs on his small

hands. He wore a Countess Mara painted necktie. As Wilhelm approached, Rubin did not see

him; he was looking out dreamily at the Hotel Ansonia, which was visible from his comer,

several blocks away. The Ansonia, the neighborhood^ great landmark, was built by Stanford
