Conversation One

W: Well, it’s the South Theater Company. They want to know if we’d be interested in sponsoring a tour they want to make to East Asia。

M: East Asia? uhh… and how much are they hoping to get from us?

W: Well, the letter mentions 20,000 poun ds, but I don’t know if they might settle for us。

M: Do they say what they would cover? Have they anything specific in mind?

W: No, I think they are just asking all the firms in tongue for as much money as they think they’ll give。

M: And we are worth 20, 000 pounds, right?

W: It seems so。

M: Very flattering. But I am not awfully happy with the idea. What we get out of it?

W: Oh, good publicity I suppose. So what I suggest is not that we just give them

a sum of money, but that we offer to pay for something specific like travel or something, and that in return, we ask for our name to be printed prominently in the program, and that they give us free advertising space in it。

M: But the travel bill would be enormous, and we could never manage that。

W: I know. But why don’t we offer to pay for the printing of the programs ourselves on condition that on the front cover there's something like This program is presented with the compliments of Norland Electronics, and free advertising of course。M: Good idea. Well, let’s get back to them and ask what the program they want will cost. Then we can see if we are interested or not。

Questions 19-21 are based on the conversation you have just heard。

19. What do we learn about the South Theater Company?

20. What benefit does the woman say their firm can get by sponsoring the Theater Company?

Conversation Two

W: Rock stars now face a new hazard --- voice abuse. After last week's announcement that Phil Collins might give up touring because live concerts are ruining his voice, doctors are counseling stars about the dos and don'ts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we have Mr. Paul Phillips, an expert from the High Field Hospital. Paul, what advice would you give to singers facing voice problems?

M: If pop singers have got voice problems, they really need to be more selective about where they work. They shouldn't work in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think about resting their voices after a show. Something else they need to be careful about is medicines. Aspirin, for example, singers should avoid aspirin. It thins the blood. And if a singer coughs, this can result in the bruising of the vocal cords。W: And is it true that some singers use drugs before concerts to boost their voices when they have voice problems?

M: Yes, this does happen on occasion. They are easily-available on the continent and they are useful if a singer has problems with his vocal cords and has to sing that night. But if they are taken regularly, they cause a thinning of the voice muscle. Most pop singers suffer from three things: lack of training, overuse and abuse of the voice, especially when they are young. They have difficult lives. When they go on tour, they do a vast number of concerts, singing in smoky places。

W: So, what would you advise the singers to do?

M: Warm you voice up before a show and warm it down after。

Questions 22-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard。

22. What does last week's announcement say about rock star, Phil Collins?

23. What does Paul Philips say about aspirin?

24. What does Paul Philips say about young pop singers?

25. What are the speakers mainly talking about?

复合式听写题目

Self-image is the picture you have of yourself, the sort of person you believe you are. Included in your self-image are the categories in which you place yourself, the roles you play and other similar descriptors you use to identify yourself. If you tell an acquaintance you are a grandfather who recently lost his wife and who does volunteer work on weekends, several elements of your self-image are bought to light —the roles of grandparent, widower and conscientious citizen。
But self-image is more than how you picture yourself; it also involves how others see you. Three types of feedback from others are indicative of how they see us: conformation, rejection, and disconfirmation. Conformation occurs when others treat you in a manner consistent with who you believe you are.You believe you have leadership abilities and your boss put you in charge of a new work team. On the other hand, rejection occurs when others treat you in a manner that is inconsistent with yourself definition. Pierre Salinger was appointed senator from California but subsequently lost his first election.  He thought he was a good public official, but the voters obviously thought otherwise— Their vote was inconsistent with his self-concept. The third type of feedback is disconfirmation, which occurs when others fail to respond to your notion of self by responding neutrally. A student writes what he thinks is an excellent composition, but the teacher writes no encouraging remarks. Rather than relying on how others classify you, consider how you identify yourself. The way in which you identify yourself is the best refection of yourself-image。

In most cultures throughout the world, there is an expectation that when a person reaches adulthood, marriage should soon follow.

Research in Western cultures has found, for example, that the number-one (76) people cite for marrying to signify a lifelong commitment (77) someone they love. However, this reason is not the only response to why people wed—today, people get married for reasons of commitment, security, and personal belief systems. The Pew Research Center’s recent findings (78) that the main reasons people get married are for (79) happiness and commitment, and bearing and missing children. As the date from this (80) show us, there are racial, age, and religious differences in what people (81) to be the main purposes of getting married。

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)(25minutes)

Section A

Direction: Inthis section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete stamens.Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete thestatements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answer on AnswerSheet 2.

Question 47 to51 are based on the following passage

Highly proficient musicianship is hardwon. Although it’s of ten assumed musical ability us inherited, there’s abundantevidence that this isn’t the case. While it seems that at birth virtuallyeveryone has perfect pitch, the reasons that one child is better than anotherare motivation and practice。

Highlymusical children were sung to more as infants and more encouraged to join insong games as kids than less musical ones, long before any musical abilitycould have been evident. Studies of classical musicians prove that the bestones practiced considerably more from childhood onwards than ordinary orchestralplayers, and this is because their parents were at them to put in the hoursfrom a very young age。

Thesame was true of children selected for entry to specialist music schools,compared with those who were rejected. The chosen children had parents who

hadvery actively supervised music lessons and daily practice from young ages,giving up substantial periods of leisure time to take the children to lessonsand concerts。

Thesinger Michael Jackson’s story, although unusually brutal and extreme, is illuminationwhen considering musical prodigy(天才). Accounts suggest that he wassubjected to cruel beatings and emotional torture ,and that he was humiliated (羞辱) constantly byhis father, What sets Jackson’s family apart is that his f ather used his reignof terror to train his children as musicians and dancers。

Ontop of his extra ability Michael also had more drive. This may have been theresult of being the closest of his brothers and sisters to his mother. “He seemeddifferent to me from the other children —

special,”Michael’s mother said of him. She may not have realized that treatingher son as special may have been part of the reason be became like that。Allin all, if you want to bring up a Mozart or Bach, the key factor is how hardyou are prepared to crack the whip. Thankfully, most of us will probably settlefor a bit of fun on the recorder and some ill-executed pieces of music-on the pianofrom our children。

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A)， B)， C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre。

Passage One

Questions 52 to 56 are based pm the following passage。

In 2011, many shoppers chose to avoid the frantic crowds and do their holiday shopping from the comfort of their computer. Sales at online retailers gained by more than 15%， making it the biggest season ever. But people are also returning

those purchases at record rates, up 8% from last year。

What went wrong? Is the lingering shadow of the global financial crisis making it harder to accept extravagant indulgences? Or that people shop more impulsively—and therefore make bad decisions—when online? Both arguments are plausible. However, there is a third factor: a question of touch. We can love the look but, in an online environment, we cannot feel the quality of a texture, the shape of the fit, the fall of a fold or, for that matter, the weight of an earring. And physically interacting with an object makes you more committed to your purchase。

When my most recent book Brandwashed was released, I teamed up with a local bookstore to conduct an experiment about the difference between the online and offline shopping experience. I carefully instructed a group of volunteers to promote my book in two different ways. The first was a fairly hands-off approach. Whenever a customer would inquire about my book, the volunteer would take them over to the shelf and point to it. Out of 20 such requests, six customers proceeded with the purchase。

The second option also involved going over to the shelf but, this time, removing the book and them subtly holding onto it for just an extra moment before placing it in the customer’s hands. Of the 20 people who were handed the book, 13 ended up buying it. Just physically passing the book showed a big difference in sales. Why? We feel something similar to a sense of ownership when we hold things in our hand. That’s why we establish or reestablish connection by greeting strangers and friends with a handshake. In this case, having to then let go of the book after holding it might generate a subtle sense of loss, and motivate us to make the purchase even more。

A recent study also revealed the power of touch, in this case when it came to conventional mail. A deeper and longer-lasting impression of a message was formed when delivered in a letter, as opposed to receiving the same message online. Brain imaging showed that, on touching the paper, the emotional center of the brain was activated, thus forming a stronger bond. The study also indicated that once touch becomes part of the process, it could translate into a sense of possession。

This sense of ownership is simply not part of the equation in the online shopping experience。

53. Why do more customers return their purchases bought online?

B) They changed their mind by the time the goods were delivered。

C) They had no chance to touch them when shopping online。

D) They later found the quality of goods below their expectations。

54. What is the purpose of author’s experiment?

A) To test his hypothesis about online shopping。

B) To find out people’s reaction to his recent book。

C) To find ways to increase the sale of his new book。

D) To try different approaches to sales promotion。

55. How might people feel after letting go of something they held?

A) A sense of disappointment C) A subtle loss of interest

B) More motivated to own it. D) Less sensitive to its texture。

56. What does train imaging in a recent study reveal?

C) Email lacks the potential to activate the brain。

D) Physical touch helps form a sense of possession。
