Could it be made wider?Q: What are the speakers doing?M: I m thinking about where to go for a bite tonight. Any suggestions, Barbara?W: Well, how about the French restaurant near the KFC? Frankly, I ve had enough of our canteen food.Q: What do we learn about the woman?W: Hey, if you can t enjoy the music at a sensible volume, why not use earphones? I m preparing for the speech contest.M: Oh, sorry. I didn t realize I ve being bothering you all this time.Q: What is the man probably doing?M: Finally, I ve got the chance to put on my new suit tonight. I hope to make a good impression on your family.W: Come on! It s only a family reun ion. So jeans and T-shirts are just fine.Q: What does the woman mean?M: Would you like to see those pants in brown and navy blue? These two colors are coming in this season.W: Oh, actually grey is my favourite color, but I prefer something made from cotton, 100% cotton I mean.Q: What is the woman looking for?W: From here, the mountains look as if you could just reach out and touch them.M: That s why I chose this lodge. It has one of the best views in Switzerland.Q: What is the man s chief consideration in choosing the lodge?M: What do I have to do to apply for a passport?W: You need proof of citizenship, either an old passport or a birth certificate and three photographs. Then you must complete this form and pay a fee.Q: What is the man most probably going to do?M: Miss, can I interest you in a pork special with serving tonight? It s only 799, half the usual price and it s very tasty.W: Oh really? I will try it.Q: What does the man say about the dish?Conversation 1W:Good evening, and welcome to this week s business world, the program for and about business people. Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?M: Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I ll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn t let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I d love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want.W: You mean you don t keep regular hours?M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early.W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It s great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers.W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business.Question 19-22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19.What is the woman doing?20.What did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop?21.Why did the man take over a bicycle shop?22.What do we learn about the people working in the shop?Conversation 2W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.M: Yes, but I m not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that?W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it s still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain s machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there s still a little. But it s no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?M: Yes, thanks.W: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there s a lot of unemployment as well as geographical problems in the region.M: Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?W: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and better roads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we ll see this in more detail, so we ll come back to this question, OK?M: OK, right.W: So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and the level of training and education. In general, it s very good and improving.Question 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. What does the woman say about the steel-related manufacturing in the region?24. What problems hinder the region s development?25. What will the speakers discuss later?Section BPassage OneI first met Joe Gumps when we were both 9 years old, which is probably the only reason he is one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school, we wouldn t even have had the chance to get to know each other. Joe is a day student, but I am a boarding student. We haven t been in the same classes, sports or extra curriculum activities. Nonetheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his house, and we talk on the phone every night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know each other, due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests.In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common, but maybe that s what makes us enjoy each other s company so much. When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I ve known whom I never disliked but simply didn t take the time to get to know. Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is, for the social divisions that exist in every community. Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places.Questions:26. Why does the speaker say Joe Gumps become one of his best friends?27. Where does the speaker spend most of his weekends?28. What has the speaker learned from his friendship with Joe?Passage 2It was a bad night for Louis. His research in the neighboring town had taken longer than he expected. It was late and he was very tired when he drove home. He turned into his building s parking lot, but all the spaces were full. He drove back out onto the street looking for a parking space. The first block was full. The next block was almost empty. Louis didn t see a no-parking sign, but he suspected that if parking were allowed there, most of the spaces would be filled. Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces. He was so glad to see them that he didn t even think to read the sign by the entrance. He drove in, parked, and hurried home to go to bed. The next morning he went back to the lot to get his car. It was gone. He ran home and telephoned the city police to say that his car had been stolen. It took the police only a minute to tell him what had happened. His car had been on a private lot. It had been taken away by the police. Louis had to take a taxi to the city garage far from the center of town. He had to pay a fee of $40 to get his car back. In addition, he got a parking ticket his first one ever in Greenville.29. Where did Louis intend to park his car when he came back from work one night?30. What did Louis think had happened to his car the next morning?31. Where did Louis finally get his car back?Passage 3Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe we agreed the creativity is a mysterious idea. It s one of those things we all recognized when we see it. But we don t really understand what it is. We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative, but we don t know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift like good looks? Or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge? Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully, we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as a source of all important work in the arts. But we should not think the creativity play the role only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it. And this is what the creativity is all about. Imagining the world in a new way, and despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations, we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolute new way.In fact, you were born with it. It is your birth right as a human being. And what s more, you use it every day almost every moment of your life. Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences. It s your creative mind to get the meaning from the chaos of your experiences and brings order to your world.32: What did the speaker most probably discuss last time?33: What is a widely accepted idea about the creative process?34: What leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker?35: What does the speaker imply about the creative process?Section CStudents have been complaining more and more about stolen property. Radios, cell phones, bicycles, pocket calculators and books have all been reported stolen. Are there enough campus police to do the job? There are 20 officers in the campus security division. Their job is to handle crime, accidents, lost and found items, and traffic problems on campus. More than half of their time is spent directing traffic and writing parking tickets. Responding promptly to accidents and other emergencies is important, but it is their smallest job. Dealing with crime takes up the rest of their time. Very rarely did any violent crimes actually occur.In the last five years there have been no murders, seven robberies, and about sixty other violent attacks, most of these involving fights at parties. On the other hand, there have been hundreds of thefts and cases of deliberate damaging of public property, which usually involves breaking windows or lights, or writing on walls. The thefts are not the carefully planned burglaries that you see in movies. Things get stolen when it is just easy to steal them because they are left lying around unwatched. Do we really need more police?Hiring more campus police would cost money, possibly making our tuition go up again. A better way to solve this problem might be for all of us to be more careful with our things.Section AM: As you can see from the drawings, the kitchen has one door into the dining room, another into the family room and a third to the outside.W: The door into the family room isn t big enough. Could it be made wider?Q: What are the speakers doing?M: I m thinking about where to go for a bite tonight. Any suggestions, Barbara?W: Well, how about the French restaurant near the KFC?

(16)Fires in California continue to burn out of control, and several small towns in the forests near San Francisco are still in danger. One of the greatest dangers to the 500 firefighters, however, comes not from the fires, but from poison plants in the forest. (17)Many firefighters have got skin problems after touching the plants, and at least three have had to go to the hospital for treatment for their skin problems.NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Agency, today announced in Florida that the next space shuttle mission has been canceled. The mission was scheduled for an 11:30 a.m. takeoff on Tuesday. (18)However, the flight has been canceled because of problems with the spaceship s central computer system. NASA technicians noticed the computer problems during last-minute checks.Seven teenager computer specialists have been arrested by police in New Jersey. (19) After taking an advanced computer course at school, the seven boys, all from Princeton, New Jersey, illegally obtain top-secret information from government computers in Washington. They also started to use their home computers to access telephone networks.In New York, the value of the dollars stayed the same today. But in Tokyo, the dollar fell dramatically. At the end of the day, it was worth 83 yen, compared to 88 yen yesterday.16. What does the midday news on KALF say about fires in California?17. What do we learn about many of the firefighters?18. What do we learn from the news about the space shuttle mission?19. What do we learn about the seven boys in New Jersey?Passage Two(20) When you live in an apartment building, where only wall separates you from your neighbors, everyone needs to be considerate of each other. That s not what happened in my apartment building. Someone was always leaving the clothes in the washers and dryers in the laundry room. I got tired of running up and down the stairs to see if the clothes had been removed,so I could start my own one. Obviously someone else got tired, too. (21)Because one day, someone took clothes from the washer and dryer,and dumped them in the corner. This act started a battle of letters posted on the wall of the laundry room. The first letter was from Mindy Lance who was really angry that her clothes had been removed from the washer and dryer, and dumped. She then threatened to dump everybody else s clothes she herself found in the washer and dryer. Mindy Lance s letter enraged other residents and they posted the letters to her. Eventually, Mindy began to behave properly but hard feelings remained. (22)The problem couldn t have been resolved better. If residents had informed the building manager she then could inform all residents that the clothes should be removed from the washers and dryers within 50 minutes after their wash is done. Those who refuse to obey might not have their leases renew. That could be a fare consent solution. Neighbor problems may sometimes seem inevitable, but it s important to resolve them fairly.20. What does the speaker think residents in an apartment building need to be?21. What started a battle of letters in the laundry C) room?22.What does the speaker think might be a better way to resolve the problem?Passage ThreeIn today s class, we ll discuss Toni Morrison s novel Beloved. As I m sure you all know, (23)Morrison is both a popular and highly respected author and it s not easy to be both. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on the African-American experience ever written by anyone. And yet to call her an African-American writer doesn t seem to do her justice. In many ways, she s simply an American writer and certainly one of the best. Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every nature literary class, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. (24) Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993. What makes Beloved unique is the skillful sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with the sense of mysterious spirituality. We will be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work and I m particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of grace and gender in this book. (25)Is it more important that Sethe, the main character is black, or that she is a woman? Which contributes more to her being? What does Morrison tell us about both?23. What do we learn about Toni Morrison?24. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993?25. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character, in Morrison s novel Beloved !Many college students today own personal computers that cost anywhere from $1000 to perhaps $5000 or more. In addition, it is not uncommon for them to purchase software costing another several hundred dollars. Twenty years ago, computers were available, but they were very large and extremely expensive. Few, if any. Individuals purchased computers for home use. Over the years, the price of the guts of a computer-its memory-has declined to less than a thousandth of the price per unit of memory that prevailed twenty years ago. This is the main reason why computers cost so much less today than they used to. Moreover, technological improvements have made it possible to manufacture memory circuitry that is small enough to fit into the portable personal computers that many of us own and use. In short, as the price of computation has declined the average consumer and business have spent more on purchasing computers.By contrast, improved agricultural technology, hybrid(雜交) seeds, scientific animal breeding, and so on have vastly increased the amount of output a typical farmer can produce. The prices of goods such as meats and grains have fallen sharply relative to the prices of most other goods and services. As agricultural prices have fallen, many households have decreased their total expenses on food. Even though the quantity of a product purchased generally increases when its price falls, total expenses on it may decline.1-25 CACBA BDACA BDADC DBCDB ACABD26.

According to classroom teachers, elementary and middle school students who stay up late exhibit more learning and attention problems. This has been shown by Brown Medical School and Bradley Hospital research. In the study, (16) teachers were not told the amount of sleep students received when completing weekly performance reports. Yet they rated the students who had received eight hours or less as having the most trouble recalling old material,learning new lessons, and completing high-quality work. Teachers also reported that (17) these students had more difficulty paying attention. The experiment is the first to ask teachers to report on the effects of sleep deficiency in children. Just (17)staying up late can cause increased academic difficulty and attention problems for otherwise healthy, well-functioning kids, said Gahan Fallone, the study s lead author. So the results provide professionals and parents with a clear message: When a child is having learning and attention problems, the issue of sleep has to be taken into consideration. If we don t ask about sleep and try to improve sleep patterns in kids struggling academically then we aren t doing our job, Fallone said. For parents, he said, the message is simple一 (18)getting kids to bed on time is as important as getting them to school on time.16. What were teachers told to do in the experiment?17. According to the experiment, what problem can insufficient sleep cause in students?18. What message did the researcher intend to convey to parents?Passage Two(19)Partricia Pania never wanted to be a national public figure. All she wanted to be was a mother and a homemaker. (20)But her life was turned upside down when a motorist, distracted by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the side of her car. The impact killed her 2-year-old daughter. Four months later, Pania reluctantly but courageously decided to try to educate the public and to fight for laws to ban drivers from using cell phones while a car is moving. She wanted to save other children from what happened to her daughter, (21) in her first speech, Pania got off to a shaky start. She was visibly trembling and her voice was soft and uncertain. But as she got into her speech, a dramatic transformation took place. She stopped shaking and spoke with a strong voice. For the rest of her talk, she was a forceful and compelling speaker. She wanted everyone in the audience to know what she knew without having to learn it from a personal tragedy. Many in the audience were moved to tears, and to action. In subsequent presentations, Pania gained reputation as a highly effective speaker. Her appearance on a talk show was broadcast three times, transmitting her message to over 14 million people. (22)Her campaign increased public awareness of the problem and prompted over 300 cities and several states to consider restrictions on cell phone use.19. What was the significant change in Partricia Pania s life?20. What had led to Pania s personal tragedy?21. How did Pania feel when she began her first speech?22. What could be expected as a result of Pania s efforts?Passage ThreeMany people catch a cold in the springtime or fall, It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. (23)There re actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn t a cure for each one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a blockage in it. You feel terrible because you can t breathe well, (24)but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells. You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people have different remedies for colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicines to relieve various symptoms of colds. There s one interesting thing to note. (25)Some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn t develop a way to fight it and kill it.23. According to the passage, why haven t scientists found a cure for the common cold?24. What does the speaker say about the symptoms of the common cold?25. What do some scientists say about taking medicines for the common cold,according to the passage?You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways, depending on the situation they are in. This is very natural. All languages have two general levels of usage: a formal level and an informal level. English is no exception. The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a particular level. Formal language is the kind of language you find in textbooks, reference books, and in business letters. You would also use formal English in compositions and essays that you write in school. Informal language is used in conversation with colleagues, family members and friends, and when we write personal notes or letters to close friends.Formal language is different from informal language in several ways. First, formal language tends to be more polite. What we may find interesting is that it usually takes more words to be polite. For example, I might say to a friend or a family member. Close the door, please. but to a stranger, I probably would say, Would you mind closing the door?Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the vocabulary. There are bound to be some words and phrases that belong in formal language and others that are informal. Let s say that I really like soccer. If I m talking to my friend, I might say I m just crazy about soccer! But if I were talking to my boss, I would probably say I really enjoy soccer.01-25 BCACD BDADC BADCA CBDCD ABBDA26. natural27. exception28. particular29. reference books30. essays31. personal32. in several ways33. stranger34. vocabulary35. belong in
