There is ____ as a free dinner in this world, as the saying goes, “No pains, no gains.”

A.no such a good thing                     B.such no good thing

C.no such good thing                      D.such no a good thing

 

C 【解析】 试题分析:考查such和so的用法。Such后面接名词或者名词性短语;so后面接形容词或者副词;在有些情况下such和so的用法是可以互换的。如so good a student="such" a good student;句意:世界上没有免费的午餐,正如谚语所说:一份耕耘,一份收获。故C正确。 考点:考查such和so用法

I like travel very much. I had been to most

of the interested places in Britain already and I just

don’t want other cold English summer. So I’ll go

abroad for change this year. Where I’d like

to is France, Spain, or Italy. Though going abroad

has the trouble of changing money abroad. But

when I just think of the sun I’d enjoy for, the new

places I’d see, the people I’d meet, I get excited.

In fact, which I’d really like to do is to practice my

French and Spanish. It would do me a lot at work.

When I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices(装置)tell the time—which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. 

But while the wise have realized that they don’t need them, others—apparently including some distinguished men of our time—are spending total fortunes on them. Brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling command shocking prices, up to £250.000 for a piece.

This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions—but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?

If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world. 

Watches are now classified as“investments”(投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £350, 000, while the 1960s Rolexes have gone from £15, 000 to £30, 000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It's a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up—they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £350, 000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Timex.

1.It seems ridiculous to the writer that_______________.

A.people dive 300 meters into the sea

B.expensive clothes sell better than cheap ones

C.cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive ones

D.expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell

2.What can be learned about Swiss watch industry from the passage?

A.It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors.

B.It targets rich people as its potential customers.

C.It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.

D.It’s easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches.

3.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A.Watches? Not for Me!                    B.My Childhood Timex

C.Timex or Rolex?                        D.Watches—a Valuable Collection
