　　SECTION lI Use of English

　　( 15 minutes)

　　Directions:

　　Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B,

　　C, or D on ANSWER SHEET l.

　　I don't know what it is about English pubs that I find so disappointing. 26 , pubs are

　　supposed to be the Englishman' s 27 meeting place, where he can get together with a few friends 28 a glass of beer and talk about football or horse racing, or business or whatever else

　　29 his thoughts. You notice that the pub is the Englishman' s meeting place, not the English-

　　woman' s. Even in our liberated times it is still not quite 30 for a woman to go into a pub

　　alone; she must have a man to 31 and protect her. Perhaps that' s partly 32 pubs

　　disappoint me--they are 33 mainly to provide for male interests, which are often pretty 34 . I think this male-dominated atmosphere 35 reminds me of being back at school, or in

　　the army, neither of which is an 36 I much want to relive.

　　However, I' m 37 in the minority. Most Englishmen have their local, where they can escape from the 38 0f family life or work, and if they are 39 , tell their troubles to a pretty

　　barmaid. 40 , many men dream of retiring from their nine-to-five jobs and 41 a little country pub, where they imagine they'11 be the 42 0f a seven-nights-a-week party. This 43 usually dies when they think of having to clean up spilled beer at one o' clock in the morning.
