　　Section B
　　Passage One
　　A couple of months ago, I went to a department store to buy a few things for the house. I needed a set of curtains for the living room, two table lamps, a rug and several cushions. I asked them to deliver the things as soon as possible, but they said that they were unable to send them out until 20 days later. After about 3 weeks, I received only the curtains and table lamps. I was a little disappointed when I didn’t receive all the items I had bought. But nevertheless, I was eager to see what the curtains and lamps looked like. I first opened the package with the curtains. I had bought a lovely light blue, and instead they had sent me a horrible dark purple. Well, you can just imagine how angry I was. Then I opened the boxes with the lamps. They were exactly what I’d ordered. But one of the lamp shapes was damaged. The next thing I did was to telephone them to complain. They promised to come to pick them up immediately and also to replace them with the correct order. It has been two weeks since my complaint. They have neither picked up the wrong items nor sent me the rest of my order。
　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard。
　　26. When did the woman want the store to deliver the items?
　　【解析】〔D〕短文中女士希望商场尽快把商品寄到家里。I asked them to deliver the things as soon as possible从此句中可以看出。
　　27. Was the woman pleased when she saw the items they had delivered?
　　【解析】〔D〕这位女士打开箱子看到寄来的物品时非常生气，文章中有直接表达的句子，you can just imagine how angry I was。
　　28. What happened in the end?
　　【解析】〔A〕最终的结果就是两周之后，那家商场的人既没有来取走寄错的物品也没有把这位女士定的其余的物品寄来。短文最后一句就是答案。They have neither picked up the wrong items nor sent me the rest of my order。
