第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

China loves exhibitions. Exhibitions provide people with a chance to see what is available, and perhaps more importantly, what may be available. In order to make your visit more efficient, the 8 rules listed below may be of some help to you.

1. Avoid attending the opening ceremony

5. Avoid any booth with a big screen TV, a video or a loudspeaker

6. Hand your name cards out to everyone
