14、day, we have put together a list of some of the greatest hoaxes (恶作剧) in history. They are the lies that have been designed for innocent people who are ready to believe them.INSTANT COLOR TVIn 1962 there was only one TV channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The stations Kjell Steps
15、on, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily transform their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their TV screen, and they would begin to see their favorite shows in
16、color. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people, were taken in. Actual color TV transmission only started to appear in Sweden on April 1, 1970. SAN SERRIFFEIn 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement (增刊) in honor of the tenth anniversary of San Serfiffe,
17、a small republic located in the Indian Ocean. A series of articles affectionately asked for more information about the beautiful holiday spot. Few noticed that everything about the island was made up.NIXON FOR PRESIDENTIn 1992 American National Public Radios Talk of the Nation program announced that
18、 Richard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, “I didnt do anything wrong, and I wont do it again.” Accompanying this announcement were audio clips (片断) of Nixon delivering his election speech. Listeners responded immediately to the announcement, fl
19、ooding the show with calls expressing shock and anger. Only during the second haft of the show did the host John Huckleberry reveal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixons voice was copied by comedian Rich Little.36. Which of the following western countries is NOT mentioned in the text?A.
20、 India B. the UKC. the United States D. Sweden37. Who worked as a host on the radio?A. Kjell Stepson B. Rich LittleC. Richard Nixon D. John Huckleberry38. When did the small republic San Serriffe come into being?A. In 1962. B. In 1977.C. In 1992. D. Never.39. Where can we probably read this article?
21、A. In an ad. B. In a magazine.C. In a novel. D. In a news report. (B) People in Britain often talk about their homes: their mortgages (按揭), the interest rates, and rising prices. Heres a guide to some of the words and phrases you might come across. Its a good idea in the UK to arrange a mortgage wit
22、h a bank before you start looking. This is when the bank tells you how much money they will lend you so you have a good idea of how much you can afford. The next step is to go to an estate agent and see what sort of properties they have available in your budget range and in your area. If you see som
23、ething you like, the estate agent will arrange for you to view the property, so that you can see the house or flat for yourself. If you see something that takes your eye, you put in an offer. The vendor (卖家) can accept or decline this offer, and if the vendor accepts it, you can move forward with th
24、e sale. However, as you dont pay any money at this point, the offer isnt legally binding (具有约束力), and in theory, you can pull out of the offer at any time that you like. Your next step will probably be to get a structural survey done. A qualified surveyor will inspect the house and write a report th
25、at illustrates any structural problems, like damp or drainage problems. If you still want to go ahead with the sale, you need to appoint a lawyer to do the legal paperwork, if you already own a house you might also be busy trying to sell it Many house owners prefer to sell to first-time buyers (thos
26、e people who dont already own a home), as they are not in a chain (waiting for other people to buyer house before they can buy their next house). Finally, once the contracts are signed and exchanged, you complete on your house. You get the keys and you can move in whenever you want. Then you might w
27、ant to throw a house-warming party. Congratulation!40. Which of the following shows the right order of what happens before the people in the UK move into a new house? a. ask for a company which represents others of properties b. decide how much to borrow from the bank c. examine the structure of the house
