Passage 1

Anna arrived far too early. Usually she left things to the last minute, but today was a very special occasion. It was almost as if by getting there an hour beforehand she hoped to cause the plane to arrive sooner. Thoughts raced through her mind. “Do I look all right? Will he notice that I’m wearing a new trouser suit? Will he even recognise me?” After all, it was a year almost to the day since she had last seen Joe. She fished a mirror out of her handbag and inspected her face. Too much make-up? Joe had never made any comment but she knew that he did not approve of heavy make-up. It was funny how much importance she attached to making a good impression on him. After all, friends do not judge each other by appearance. All the same, it was the first meeting after a long separation, and she wanted everything to go off right.
Looking out of the window, Joe caught a first glimpse, through a break in the clouds, of the town far below. This was his third visit, and looked like becoming an annual event. Certainly it was very flattering that they had invited him to be the guest lecturer at their Autumn Congress yet again. The Chairman of the Organising Committee, as a matter of politeness, had offered to meet him at the airport, as he had done on previous occasions. This time, however, it was not necessary, partly because Joe was quite familiar with the city, but mainly because Anna had said that she could take the afternoon off in order to come and meet him.
31．Anna looked in her mirror because __________________.
A．she wanted to add more make-up
B．she was afraid that her make-up might be too heavy
C．she had too little make-up on
D．she wanted to make up
32．Anna thought that Joe might not recognise her because _________________.
A．she was wearing a new suit
B．he had not seen her for about a year
C．he might expect someone else to meet him
D．she had changed a lot in the past year
33．When did Anna get to the airport?
A．Shortly after the plane had arrived.
B．At the last possible minute.
C．Just before the plane was due to land.
D．About an hour before the plane arrived.
34．How many times had Joe been to this town?
A．Twice. B．Three times.
C．Four times. D．Several times.
35．Joe did not need the Chairman to meet him because _________________.
A．the Chairman was not willing to meet him
B．he was not sure which day he would travel
C．he could find his own way to the city centre
D．he knew that Anna would be there to meet him
Passage 2
