Passage Three
【听前预测】预览三道题各选项，由watches可推知，短文涉及到表；再由 by a Swiss watchmaker，fashionable style等可推知，短文可能涉及表的制造者和款式等。 Have you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value? A small watchmaker in Switzerland in 1922 designed the first automatic watch to show the day, month, and date. Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made and these watches were almost lost to history. Today, it is so hard to get an original watch that some watch historians are even willing to offer $200,000 for one.
These watches attracted a lot of people for their splendid color, fashionable style, and new uses in the 1920s. The owners of the watches were admired and set apart from the crowd. Because the number of the original watches is very limited, owning such a watch will make you feel very special.
Today, you are offered the same kind of watch with improvement. It has a 24 jewel mechanical movement, the kind desired by watch collectors. The watchmaker has made the movement of the watch much more modern with an automatic rotor so that the watch never needs to be wound by hand. To get a watch in such a perfect design means to get a chance to know a piece of watch-making history and to wear such a watch will show your personal taste and social position.
You can get the watch either in person or by mail all at an affordable price. You will also receive good service from the watch seller. If you are not satisfied with the watch after you get it, you may simply return it within 30 days. Don’t miss the chance to realize your dream. Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. Why are the original automatic watches valuable?
【解析】选[C]。选项中重复出现的watches和made表明，本题与手表的制作有关。根据短文中提到的Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made…可知，答案为[C]。
【点睛】[C]中的Only a few watches of the kind were made是对短文中的Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made的同义转述。
34. Which feature of the improved watch awakes watch collectors’ desire to get one? 【解析】选[D]。预览选项可知，此题可能与表的特点有关。短文中提到It has a 24-jewel mechanical movement…made the movement of the watch much more modern表明，正是因为独特的机械运转装置，手表收藏者才想购买，故答案为[D]。 35. What does the passage encourage the readers to do?
【解析】选[A]。前三个选项都与watch有关，而[D]却没有提到，故首先排除。再根据文中提到的To get a watch in such… taste and social position可知，短文鼓励读者买手表，故答案为[A]。
【点睛】短文通篇都与表有关，且主要介绍表的收藏价值。

36.【解析】company。空前的定冠词the和空后的of所有格表明所填词应为名词。company意为“陪伴，陪同”。
37.【解析】forbidden。空前的is和strictly提示所填词可能为形容词或动词的过去分词形式。空前提到在某种情况下发短信和打电话是不礼貌的，also提示所填词所在句与前一句表达的意思一致，因此，该句可能要表达约会时发短信也应当被严格“禁止”。forbidden意为“被禁止的”。
