Are Families Demanding Too Much from Their Children?
Most families demand too much from their children. Usually parents will hope their
children to become a musician or a scientist or something else. The children are asked to play the piano and do extra homework everyday.
But the parents often ignore the interests of their children, who could not do well because
they have to choose what they hate to do. All parents love their children and try to give
them their best love. They expect a very successful child. But the problem is, most of the time, their love may be painful for their children.
Each child is born unique. Do not force them. Give them their own sky and space, and children have to be themselves. Every child is different. Every child has his/her own position
in the world. It is the parents’ responsibility to give them the best advice.

Section A Understanding Conversations
Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will
be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and
decide which is the best answer, then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2.
Short Conversations
11. W: When does the next bus leave for New York?
M: Buses leave for New York every two hours. You just missed the 9:30 bus by ten
minutes.
Q: What time is it now?
12. M: Shall we go dancing tonight to relax ourselves? You’ve been writing your term paper
all these days.
W: I still have to collect some data, but maybe a break would do me good.
Q: What will the woman probably do?
13. M: I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my watch. It was just a month ago that I had it
repaired.
W: Don’t waste your time and money any more. It’s a very old watch and is quite worn out. Q: What does the woman mean?
14. M: Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?
W: I’d like to, but I have an appointment with my friend.
Q: What does the woman mean?
15. M: How much are these clothes?
W: They are on sale today, sir. 30 dollars for each jacket and 25 dollars for each T-shirt. Q: How much does one jacket and two T-shirts cost?
16. M: How will you spend your Saturday evening? Shall we go to the movies?
W: That’s exactly what I have been thinking about. Do you know what’s on tonight?
Q: What does the woman mean?
17. W: Yesterday’s play was quite good. The part of the secretary was played wonderfully, but I think the man who played the boss was too dramatic to be realistic.
158 Model Test 1
M: I couldn’t agree more.
Q: What does the man mean?
18. M: This TV set is not working properly. I suppose we should buy a new one, but I don’t see how we can afford it right now.
W: Why not borrow some money from your friends?
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
Long Conversations
Conversation One
M: Hello?
W: Hi, it’s me.
M: Oh, hi! How was the job interview?
W: Well, he hired me.
M: You got the job? The management job? Oh, that’s great!
W: No, I didn’t say I got the management job. He hired me for a job in customer service, selling tours to Asia.
M: Just customer service? But what about the management position? You were perfect
for that job. You can supervise people. You understand the business.
W: I know. I showed him my resume. I told him that I worked in travel management
for five years back home, and that I even got a degree in Business Management
here in the U.S.
M: Oh, I can’t believe that. You’re perfectly qualified for that management position.
W: That’s what I thought. It’s not fair! Why did I bother going to college here?
M: Wait, wait a minute. Did he know that you were applying for the management position?
W: Of course. But he didn’t give me that job.
M: Why?
W: He said that everyone really expects the manager to be someone from the local community. The person they hired is from New York. And she’s a woman, t oo, so
it’s not because I am a woman. So that means the problem is my English. I’m not a
native speaker, and I guess that’s what they want for the management job.
M: Well, you know, you spend a little time at the customer service job and then you
can work your way up to the management position.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What are the two speakers talking about?
20. What job does the woman get?
21. Why doesn’t the woman get the job she wanted?
22. What’s the pro bable relationship between the two speakers?
Conversation Two
M: Gee. You’ve hardly got anything on your tray.
W: Yeah. I guess I’m just not that hungry.
Band Two 159
M: What’s the matter? Aren’t you feeling well?
W: well, I’ve been really worried. It’s my car. It’s in the shop again.
M: Really? What’s wrong this time?
W: I don’t know exactly. Something’s wrong with the brakes, I think.
M: Well, at least that shouldn’t cost you much to fix. Parts are cheaper for all the
American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?
W: He said he would call me with an estimate later on today.
M: Watch out he doesn’t try to take advantage of you.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn’t know much about
cars, they might try to overcharge that person.
W: Maybe so. But I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. He
has done some for me in the past and his price seemed to be reasonable.
M: Oh, that’s good to know. Maybe I’ll try using him in the f uture. By the way, do you
need a ride home after class today?
W: Oh, I’d sure appreciate it. It’s really tough getting around without a car when you
live off campus.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What do we learn from the conversation?
24. What does the woman imply about the mechanic?
25. What will the man probably do after class?
Section B Understanding Passages
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. After you
hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C
and D. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2.
Passage One
A university professor recently made several experiments with different animals to
find out which was the most intelligent. He found out that monkeys were more intelligent
than other animals.
In one experiment the professor put a monkey in a room where there were several
small boxes. Some boxes were inside other boxes. One small box had some food inside
of it. The professor wanted to watch the monkey and to find out how long it would take
the monkey to find the food. The professor left the room. He waited a few minutes outside
the door. Then he knelt down and put his eye to the keyhole. What did he see? To
his surprise he found himself looking directly into the eye of the monkey. The monkey
was looking at the professor through the keyhole on the other side of the door.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What was the purpose of the professor’s experiments?
160 Model Test 1
27. What was the result of the professor’s experiments?
28. How did the professor watch the monkey?
Passage Two
There are many different kinds of cars in this world. My cousin thinks this is because
cars are like their drivers. He says, “Rich people have expensive cars, big people
have large cars, and old people drive old cars.” But I don’t agree with him. My ne ighbor,
Mrs. Hill, is 82 years old. She drives only on Tuesdays, and then she drives only to the
bank. She never drives more than 30 kilometers an hour. Do you think Mrs. Hill has a very
old and small car? No! Her car is new. It’s very large and it can go 200 kilometers per hour!
My friend, Mike, is an artist. He paints beautiful pictures with lots of colors. But
his car is black! Mrs. Bates has a very old car. It often has engine trouble. Does she drive
that kind of car because she is poor? NO, she has four restaurants and two million
dollars in the bank. My uncle Joe has a very small car. Every Sunday, he drives to the
country with his wife, his three children, his mother and their dog.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. H ow does the speaker think about his cousin’s opinion about cars?
30. What kind of car does Mrs. Hill have?
31. Why does Mrs. Bates drive a very old car?
32. How many people are there in Joe’s car when Joe drives to the country every
Sunday?
Passage Three
I flew to San Francisco to take care of some business with Mr. Jordan. But as soon
as I arrived, I got sick and couldn’t meet with him. I had to call our appointment off.
Then when I felt better, I thought about visiting him at his home, but he lived too far
away. I tried to telephone him during office hours but he was busy. The receptionist
said that Mr. Jordan would call me back. But he didn’t. I gave up trying to make a new
appointment because it would take more time and effort than I wanted to spend. A few
days later, I saw a man on the street who looked like Mr. Jordan and I called out to him.
It was someone else. When I returned to my hotel that day, I found a message which
said that Mr. Jordan had gone out of town on some sudden unexpected business. I was
sorry I had missed seeing him, but I really enjoyed my sightseeing.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. How did the speaker go to San Francisco?
34. Why couldn’t the speaker meet Mr. Jordan when he got to San Francisco?
35. Why did the speaker give up making a new appointment?
Band Two 161
Section C Compound Dictation
Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time,
you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information.
For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main
points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check
what you have written.
When my interest (36) shifted from space to the sea, I never (37) expected it would cause
such (38) confusion among my friends, yet I can understand their feelings. As I have been
writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden (39) switch of
interest to the depth of the sea do es seem peculiar. To explain, I’d like to share my reasons behind
this (40) unusual change of mind. The first excuse I give is an (41) economic one. Underwater
(42) exploration is so much cheaper than space flight. The first round-trip ticket to the
moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and (43) development.
By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. (44) On the other hand,
the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin-diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My
second argument is more philosophical. (45) The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things
in common with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile. (46) If we
wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have mechanical aids. The diving
suit helped the design of the space suit. The feelings and the emotions of a man beneath the
sea will be much like those of a man beyond the atmosphere.

My View on the Reform of CET-4
As we all know, the reform of CET-4 is being carried out in some areas now. This
phenomenon has aroused a heated argument. Different people have different views on
“Should CET-4 be reformed?”. Some people think that it is nec essary and it can benefit
students because they believe it can improve students’ English level, especially in today’s society.
While others argue that the reform of CET-4 is not necessary and it can have negative effect on students. They think the reform of CET-4 can bring students more stress.
As far as I am concerned, I’m in favor of the reform of CET-4. For one thing, the new
type of CET-4 is more difficult than the previous one, so it can make students learn English
harder. For another, it trains studen ts’ comprehensive ability to apply English, especially
their hearing ability, which makes them be able to use English easily to carry on the
oral communication. Moreover, the reform of CET-4 is not just a reform of examination,
but a reform of university English education on the nation-wide scale.
Taking all these factors into consideration, we may safely come to the conclusion that
it is wise to reform the CET-4, and it is a good thing. Only if we make our efforts can we succeed in CET-4.
