　　3．Next came a horse，swimming bravely，but we were afraid that the________of the current(水流)would prevent its landing anywhere before it became exhausted.

　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable，whether you are a book-lover or merely go there to buy a book as a present.You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower.Whatever the reason，you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings.

　　The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust_jacket_

　　is irresistible，although this method of selection ought not to be followed，as you might end up with a rather dull book.

　　You soon become interested in some book or other，and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book，of course.

　　This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is，I think，the main attraction of a bookshop.There are not many places where it is possible to do this.A music shop is very much like a bookshop.You can wander round such places to your heart's content.If it is a good shop，no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting：“Can I help you，sir”？You needn't buy anything you don't want.In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing.Then，and only then，are his services necessary.Of course，you may want to find out where a particular section is，but when he has led you there，the assistant should retire discreetly(謹慎地)and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.

　　You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop.It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on，say ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing—something which had only slightly interested you up till then.This volume on the subject，however，happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it.This sort of thing can be very dangerous.Apart from running up a huge account，you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.

　　語篇解讀：無論你是愛書的人或是僅僅想買一本書作為禮物，在書店里度過的時光都可能是令人非常愉快的。1.The underlined phrase “dust jacket” means “________”．

　　A．a kind of clothes

　　B．a paper cover of a book

　　C．a dusty book

　　D．a title of a book

　　解析：考查詞義猜測。語境說一本書的dust jacket很吸引人，讓你難以抗拒，從而拿起它。從這些信息判斷，dust jacket應該是指書的封面。吸引人的書，看的人肯定多，不可能積滿灰塵C項不正確；文章談論的是書，與衣服無關A項不對；文中沒有提到哪類書能吸引你，因此D項不對。

　　答案：B

　　2．You may spend too much time in a bookshop because________.
