2017年9月公共英語二級日常閱讀理解練習題
因為公共英語二級的考試難度不大，因此不少考生都不注意對公共英語二級的復習，這就導致不少考生要么沒有順利通過公共英語二級的考試，要么就是考得不理想。因此，小編這兒特地為大家送上一篇2017年9月公共英語二級日常閱讀理解練習題。
Robert Spring, a 19th century forger(偽造者), did well in his job that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs(親筆簽名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began to learn the signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and write them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of being discovered, he sent his works to England and Canada for sale.
Forgers have a difficult time selling their products. A forger can' t go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don' t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals.
After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a re- spectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stone Wall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny' s money problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belong- ing to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring dying in poverty.
