Section A

Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.

1. M: I like to stay two nights, please.

W: Do you want full board or half board? Full board includes all meals and half board includes just breakfast and dinner.

Q: Where are the two speakers?

2. M: Shouldn’t we invite Cathy to host the party tomorrow?

W: Invite Cathy? She is the last person I want to have personal contact with.

Q: What does the woman mean?

3. M: Let's meet at 4:40.

W: That's a bit late for me. I could only manage four o'clock, because I have to catch the last train at five thirty.

Q: When will they probably meet?

4. M: Did you say you were driving to town this morning?

W: Yes, I have to draw some money from the bank to pay my bookstore bills.

Q: Why does the woman plan to go to town?

5. W: Oh, my god. My car broke down, and I have to meet my aunt at the railway station before noon.

M: You’re lucky. I can drop you off on my way.

Q: What will the man do for the woman?

6. M: What are you working on so hard?

W: An article for the newspaper. If I am late, it won’t get printed until next week.

Q: What is the woman trying to do?

7. W: Did you hear that Mr. Steven is coming next week?

M: Yes. So I called all of the department heads to my office this morning. We need to give him reports on our program.

Q: What job is Mr. Steven likely to take up?

8. W: I hope you like the fiction I lent you. I wasn’t sure if you’d be interested in its plot. M: I had the same doubt at first, but once I started I simply couldn’t put it down.

Q: What does the man think of the plot?

9. W: What is going on? It’s May, and we still have to wear warm clothes.

M: Well, there’s some good news on the radio. You probably can wear shorts tomorrow. Q: What are the speakers talking about?

10. M: Your school is so different from mine in China. Why do you only bring a daypack to school every day?

W: We don’t have to carry a big schoolbag because we have a locker of our own which is a small box with a lock. We keep textbooks and our personal things in it.

Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage

I’d love to share w ith you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns. I grew up in a small town until I was 18, and then moved to a big city. So I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city. But I w as wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Truly, small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In the small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can’t get around without one, because there isn’t any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving. So if you don’t have a car, you’d b etter live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final

thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in the smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course, safety should be considered, and that’s one area where sm all towns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city, than to feel safe but dull.

Now listen again please.

Questions:

11. How long has the speaker lived in a big city?

12. What is the speaker’s opin ion on public transport?

13. What is good about living in a small town?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish and joined the local fishing club. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids and the sun hurts their eyes … The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.

When I grew up and entered the business world, I kept hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job but I do it quite well. I think my father gave me a secret weapon in my childhood.

Now listen again please.

Questions:

14. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?

15. Which of the following facts about fish is true?

16. What did the speaker find after entering the business world?

Section C

After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

W: Please sit down. Let’s see. You’re Mr. Ford. Is that correct?

M: Yes, David Ford.

W: And you’re interested in this job?

M: Yes, I am. I will graduate from college the coming June. My major is finance.

W: I see. Have you ever done any work in this field?

M: Yes, I once got a part-time job in a market research company and designed a lot of questionnaires.

W: Good. Now how much money do you expect to have for a year?

M: From what I’ve read, it seems that the starting pay would be around $12,000 aye ar. W: Here you will start at $10,500 for the first year, a kind of training period. Then you would go to $15,000.

M: Do you have overseas working opportunity?

W: It depends. Outstanding sales representatives will have the chance to attend worldwide conferences.

M: That sounds fair enough. What do you think of the chances for me to get the job here? W: Well, I’m talking to three people today and four tomorrow. We will be hiring two people. You’ll hear from us sometime next month. Good luck, and thanks for c oming in today.

Now listen again please.

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.

W: Hello, Erick. You're a frequent traveler. And we also know that you eat out twice a day. How come you're so fond of eating out?

M: When I got my first job back in 1982 and started traveling, I had no other choice but to eat out. I found that I felt different due to what I was eating, so I tried to find places that served food that made me feel good. The secret was the quality of the food and how the food was prepared also counted a lot. I made an effort to find good restaurants as well as nice dishes.

W: How did you manage to make a list of 218 favorite restaurants?

M: I've lived in many cities and when I moved back to Sweden from the United States, people asked me where to go to eat when they went to the cities I knew. I got a lot of ideas.

Then I wrote about restaurants for the Swedish club magazine and someone suggested I gather the information about the restaurants together. Since I had all the facts about the restaurants I had been to, I started to do that.

W: How do you find restaurants?

M: The best way is to ask the local people. I may talk to people at the street market or take a walk and look for a place myself. I never ask a hotel clerk or a taxi driver. I don't go to the empty restaurants or places with difficult menus.

Now listen again please.

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage

Gone With the Wind is a novel written by Margaret Mitchell, first published in 1936. Gone with the Wind is the only novel by Mitchell published during her lifetime.

The story is set in Georgia and Atlanta during the American Civil War and Reconstruction era. It depicts the struggles of young Scarlett O'Hara, the spoiled daughter of a well-to-do plantation owner. It is one of the most impressive images in world literature. Her charm lies in her personality of independence, her spirit of freedom, her firm characteristic and real life attitude. Margaret Mitchell was imaginative in the use of color symbolism, especially the colors red and green, which surround Scarlett O'Hara. Mitchell identified the primary theme as survival.

Gone with the Wind was popular with American readers from the onset and was the top American fiction bestseller in the year it was published and in 1937. More than 30 million copies have been printed worldwide. It was adapted into a 1939 American film.

Written from the perspective of the slaveholder, Gone with the Wind is Southern plantation fiction. Its portrayal of slavery and African Americans is controversial. However, the novel has become a reference point for later writers about the South, both black and white. Scholars at American universities refer to it in their writings, interpret and study it. The novel has been absorbed into American popular culture.

Now listen again please.

Questions:

11. What is the theme of the novel Gone With the Wind?

12. When was the book adapted into a film?

13. Which of the following facts is true according to the speech?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage

More than a hundred adults and kids gather for the Star Party on a cold evening, chattering excitedly as they stand in the dark on a Virginia hillside. The odd thing is, no one has turned on a flashlight, and no streetlights or house lights wink on around them.

These people have traveled to the countryside more than an hour from Washington, D.C., to get away from the glow of city lights. That's because they are attending a star party. Star parties are gatherings where professional and amateur astronomers set up

their telescopes and invite people to come and learn about the night sky. Getting away from light pollution, or artificial skylight from buildings helps people see objects in the sky much better.

At this star party, the organizer O'Brien starts off by asking the crowd to simply look up and take in all they can see. He points out plenty of things that can be seen without special equipment. Stars and satellites can be found if you know where to look. After that, several dozen astronomers offer close-up views. Each has focused their telescope on a different part of the sky. As kids take a look, the owner gives a mini-lesson.

O’Brien says you can have your own star party at home and learn a lot just by paying attention to what's happening up above. "Watch the sky as the seasons pass, and you will see that it changes," he says. "Or start with the moon. Notice when and where you are seeing it—maybe even in the early morning while you wait for the school bus. "

Now listen again please.

Questions:

14. What was it special about the Star Party?

15. What did several dozen astronomers do at the Star Party?

16. Which of the following can best describe what O'Brien says about discovering the stars?

Section C

Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

W: You know I just finished a very interesting research for the newspaper about the things people do in their spare time．

M: Really? What did you learn?

W: Well, I talked with 40 people and 19 of them enjoy doing sport most.

M: That is not surprising. People enjoy exercising to keep fit. What ranks second on the list then?

W: Well, 10 of them enjoy going to the theatre and they favor romantic story on the screen.

M: What about reading?

W: It is a pity. Only four of them enjoy reading and the rest prefer surfing the Internet.

M: So, this is really a warning sign, isn’t it?

Now listen again please.

Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.

W: Welcome to our program. Today we have invited Freddy, a driving instructor of over 20 years experience to talk to us about learning to drive. Well, Freddy, do you think it’s getting expensive to learn to drive these days?

M: Well, it depends. If you come for a private instructor like me, it’s going to be a bit less expensive than going to a big school. The thing is, people have usually heard of the big school and trust them. Well, I get customers through personal connections.

W: Does that mean you have to try hard to get customers?

M: Not now, when I started I had to. But at the moment I am fully booked and my prices are quite competitive.

W: Learning to drive is usually a nervous experience for beginners. What do you think? M: Well, it can be. But I try to get them to sit quietly in the driver’s seat for a few moments. With their eyes closed, you will be surprised how it changed some people. They feel much more ready for driving if they had a few quiet moments.

W: Yes, I suppose some people are much more nervous than others.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

Asia-Pacific consumers are the world’s most crazy online shoppers and many rely on Internet reviews when making purchases, research firm Nielsen said this week. The firm said 35 percent of consumers in the region used over 11 percent of their monthly spending to make online purchases, compared to a global average of 27 percent of consumers.

South Koreans were the heaviest online buyers in Asia, with 59 percent directing more than 11 percent of their monthly spending to online purchases, followed by 41 percent in China, Nielsen said in a report. More Asia-Pacific consumers also intend to buy online in the next six months than those from other regions, with South Koreans and Chinese the most likely to make such purchases.

Among the purchases consumers in the region are likely to make in the next six months are books, clothing, shoes, airline tickets, electronic equipment and hotel reservations.

Nielsen said opinions posted online were important in customers’ decisions to buy products such as cosmetics, cars, software and food. Asia-Pacific consumers were also the most likely to share dissatisfaction at a product on the Internet compared with consumers elsewhere.

In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.

In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard’s law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.

As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There’s so much to learn that one kind of school can’t offer it all.
