(20 points) Questions 31"'-'35 are based on the fol1owing passage. A contract is an agreement which ís enforceable by law. It can be long or short. formal or informal. simple or complícated , and verbal or written. Without a contract or agreement to bind the contracting parties, any internatíonal business or transaction (交易) would be impossible. Long ago , people exchanged promises in making bargains and bindíng the conduct of others. This exchange of promises came to be known as "agreement" and became more and more important in the fields of busíness. A promise or agreement is reached as a result of the process of offer and acceptance. When an agreement is reached , a contract is formed. Once a contract ís officially signed by the concerned parties, it creates legal oblígations in the sense of law. A contract is the only document between the partíes to whích they may refer for clarification of mutual responsíbílitíes. It should not be viewed as merely a document that initiates transactíon and then filed and forgotten by the contractíng partíes. It must be drafted wíth an awareness of the background of the law in which the transaction takes place. It is proper to obtain legal advice as to the best set of contractual terms appropriate to the product and type of business. 660

Though most of the contracts have many provisions in common , each is different from the others owing to the nature of the goods. Whether we are dealing with a long or preprinted form of the contract , there are certain key provisions that every contract should contain to avoid ambiguity and possible future conflicts. Whether to include other specific provisions depends on the type of goods, shipping and insurance complexities, and degree of trust and mutual confidence existing between buyer and seller. 31.

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage. I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time,and we were having a final test.During the test,the girl sitting next to me whispered something,but I didn't understand.So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen.She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write.I happened to have an extra one,so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk. Later,after the test papers had been turned in,the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed.As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up;she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (for your own acts.For a long time,she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest,they are really cheating themselves.She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said,and then she told me I could leave.I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things. Later on,I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test.When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me,it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl's test paper.I tried to explain about the pen,but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn't talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test.Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen,I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test. 36.The story took place exactly A.in the teacher's office B.in an exam room C.in the school D.in the language lab 37.The girl wanted to borrow a pen,because_ A.she had not brought a pen with her B.she had lost her own on her way to school C.there was something wrong with her own D.her own had been taken away by someone 662
