My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was,I didn ‘ knowt‘ enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a dingy multi-familyhouse in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire andhorses hoofs from "Wagon Train" or "Cheyenne", and laughter from "I LoveLucy" or "MisterEd", After supper, we' d sprawl on Mom' s bed ..and stare for hours at the tube.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only beenable to get through third grade. But she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at thetime. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned--books. So she came homeone day, snapped off the TV , sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. "You boys are going to read two books every week," she said. "And you‘ regoing to write me a r eport onwhat you read."We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn ‘havet any books in thehouse other than Mom‘ s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: "I' Ildrive you to the library."So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on theirway to Detroit Public Library.I wandered reluctantly among the children ‘books. I lovedanimals,so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder . It was about beavers. Forthefirst time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so faraway from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animalsbuilding a home.It didn‘ t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed sanctuary from my other world. I movedfrom animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were wholeworlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started toknow things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn hometo my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of paediatric neurosurgery at John HopkinsChildren ‘ s Cei n treBaltimore. Sometimes I still can' t believe my life' s journey, from a failing andindifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world toteach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began--the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us inher Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.81.We can learn from the beginning of the passage thatA.the author and his brother had done poorly in school.B.the author had been very concerned about his school work.C.the author had spent much time watching TV after school.D.the author had realized how important schooling was.82. Which of the following is NOT true about the author‘ s family?A. He came from a middle-class family.B. He came from a single-parent family.C. His mother worked as a cleaner.D. His mother had received little education.83. The mother was ________ to make her two sons switch to reading books.A. hesitantB. unpreparedC. reluctantD. determined84. How did the two boys feel about going to the library at first?A. They were afraid.B. They were reluctant.C. They were indifferent.D. They were eager to go.85.The author began to love books for the following reasons EXCEPT thatA.he began to see something in his mind.B.he could visualize what he read in his mind.C.he could go back to read the books again.D.he realized that books offered him new experience.Predicting the future is always risky. But it's probably safe to say that at least a few historianswill one day speak of the 20th century as America's ― Disneyera ‖Today,. it's certainlydifficult tothink of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company thatcreated Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known,but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to oneperson —the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically,he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius inplenty of other respects. In business, hisgreatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, hesingle-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising — somethinghis company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney alwaysmade sure his films championed the ― little guy ‖ , and made him feel proud to be American. Th achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Somecelebrated American achievements —Disney's very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one's fellow man or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression. Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company —unlike other big corporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio —the public heard —operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrateAmerica, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed towork for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans—in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologistfor the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large,bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers.To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model;to the public at large, he was ― Uncle Walt ‖—the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all theirlives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. painting.B. creativityC. management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney‘ s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America‘ s war efforts in his own w ay.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence― Disneywas more or less the genuine article means‖that ______.A. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D.Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer‘ s attitude toward Walt Disneycanbest be described asA. sympathetic.B. objective.C. critical.D. skeptical.TEXT CWhy do you listen to music? If you should put this question to a number of people, you mightreceive answers like these:― I like the beat of music‖ ,― I look for attractive tunefulness by the sound of choral singing‖ ,― I listen to music for many reasons but I could not begin to descri them to you clearly.‖ Answers to this question would be many and diverse, yet almost no one would reply, ― Music means nothing to me. ‖To most of us, music means something; it evokes someresponse. We obtain some satisfaction in listening to music.For many, the enjoyment of music does not remain at a standstill. We feel that we can get moresatisfaction from the musical experience. We want to make closer contact with music in order tolearn more of its nature; thus we can range more broadly and freely in the areas of musical style,form, and expression. This book explores ways of achieving these objectives. It deals, of course,with the techniques of music, but only in order to show how technique is directed toward expressiveaims in music and toward the listener‘ s musical experience. In this way, we may get an idea of th composer ‘intentions, for indeed, the composer uses every musical device for its power to communicate and for its contribution to the musical experience.Although everyone hears music differently,there is a common ground from which all musical experiences grow. That source is sound itself. Sound is the raw material of music. It makes up thebody and substance of all musical activity. It is the point of departure in the musical experience.The kinds of sound that can be used for musical purposes are amazingly varied. Throughout the cultures of the world, East and West, a virtually limitless array of sounds has been employed in theservice of musical expression. Listen to Oriental theatre music, then to an excerpt from a Wagnerwork; these two are worlds apart in their qualities of sound as well as in almost every other feature,yet each says something of importance to some listeners. Each can stir a listener and evoke a response in him. All music,whether it is the pulsation of primitive tribal drums or the complex coordination of voices and instruments in an opera, has this feature: it is based upon the power ofsound to stir our senses and feelings.Yet sound alone is not music. Something has to happen to the sound. It must move forward intime.Everything that takes place musically involves the movement of sound. If we hear a series of drumbeats, we receive an impression of movement from one stroke to the next. When sounds followeach other in a pattern of melody, we receive an impression of movement from one tone to the next.All music moves; and because it moves, it is associated with a fundamental truth of existence and experience. We are stirred by impressions of movement because our very lives are constantly in movement. Breathing, the action of the pulse, growth, decay, the change of day and night, as wellas the constant flow of physical action-these all testify to the fundamental role that movement playsin our lives. Music appeals to our desire and our need for movement.90.The author indicates at the beginning of the passage thatA. people listen to music for similar reasons.B. reasons for listening to music are varied.C. some people don ‘ t understand music at all.D.purposes for listening to music can be specified.91.We can infer from the second paragraph that the book from which this excerpt is taken ismainly meant forA. listeners.B. composers.C. musicians.D. directors.。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT AIt often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.There are many arguments for and against the interview as a selection procedure. The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, emplyers do not choose the best candidate, they choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidate’s likely performance.The main argument in favour of the interview — and it is, perhaps, a good argument —is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidate’s ability, but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary provided she has a pleasant personality.It is perhas true to say, therefore, that the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assssable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality, character and social ability. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees.Candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful; direct and straightforward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behaviour. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt.66.We can infer from the passage that an employer might tolerate his secretary’s occasional mistakes, if the latter is ____A. direct.B. cheerful.C. shy.D. capable.67.What is the author’s attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure?A. Unclear.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Indifferent.68.According to the passage, people argue over the interview as a selection procedure mainly because they have ____.A. different selection proceduresB. different puposes in the interviewC. different standards for competenceD. different experiences in interviews69.The purpose of the last paragraph is to indicate ____.A. a link between success in interview and personalityB. connections between work abilities and personalityC. differences in interview experienceD. differences in personal behaviourTEXT BEvery year thousands of people are arrested and taken to court for shop-lifting. In Britain alone, about HK$3,000,000’s worth of goods are stolen from shops every week. This amounts t o something like HK$150 million a year, and represents about 4 per cent of the shops’total stock. As a result of this “shrinkage”as the shops call it, the honest public has to pay higher prices. Shop-lifters can be divided into three main categories: the professionals, the deliberate amateur, and the people who just can’t help themselves. The professionals do not pose much of a problem for the store detectives, who, assisted by closed circuit television, two-way mirrors and various other technological devices, can usually cope with them. The professionals tend to go for high value goods in parts of the shops where security measures are tightest. And, in any case, they account for only a small percentage of the total losses due to shop-lifting.The same applies to the deliberate amateur who is, so to speak, a professional in training. Most of them get caught sooner or later, and they are dealt with severely by the courts.The real problem is the person who gives way to a sudden temptation and is in all other respects an honest and law-abiding citizen. Contrary to what one would expect, this kind of shop-lifter is rarely poor. He does not steal because he needs the goods and cannot afford to pay for them. He steals because he simply cannot stop himself. And there are countless others who, because of age, sickness or plain absent-mindedness, simply forget to pay for what they take from the shops. When caught, all are liable to prosecution, and the decision whether to send for the police or not is in the hands of the store manager.In order to prevent the quite incredible growth in ship-lifting offences, some stores, in fact, are doing their best to separate the thieves from the confused by prohibiting customers from takingbags into the store. However, what is most worrying about the whole problem is, perhaps, that it is yet another instance of the innocent majority being penalized and inconvenienced because of the actions of a small minority. It is the aircraft hijack situation in another form. Because of the possibility of one passenger in a million boarding an aircraft with a weapon, the other 999,999 passengers must subject themselves to searches and delays. Unless the situation in the shops improves, in ten years’ time we may all have to subjec t ourselves to a body-search every time we go into a store to buy a tin of beans!70.Why does the honest public have to pay higher prices when they go to the shops?A. There is a “shrinkage”in market values.B. Many goods are not available.C. Goods in many shops lack variety.D. There are many cases of shop-lifting.71.The third group of people steal things because they ____A. are mentally ill.B. are quite absent-minded.C.can not resist the temptation.D. can not afford to pay for goods.72.According to the passage, law-abiding citizens ____.A. can possibly steal things because of their povertyB. can possibly take away goods without payingC. have never stolen goods from the supermarketsD. are difficult to be caught when they steal things73.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the main types of shop-lifting?A. A big percentage of the total losses are caused by the professionals.B. The deliberate amateurs will be punished severely if they get caught.C. People would expect that those who can’t help themselves are poor.D. The professionals don’t cause a lot of trouble to the store detectives.74.The aircraft hijack situation is used in order to show that ____.A. “the professionals do not pose much of a problem for the stores”B. some people “somply forget to pay for what they take from the shops”C. “the honest public has to pay higher prices”D. the third type of shop-lifters are dangerous peopleTEXT CMy bones have been aching again, as they often do in humid weather. They ache like history: things long done with, that still remain as pain. When the ache is bad enough it keeps me from sleeping. Every night I yearn for sleep, I strive for it; yet it flutters on ahead of me like a curtain. There are sleeping pills, of course, but the doctor has warned me against them.Last night, after what seemed hours of damp turmoil, I got up and crept slipperless down the staris, feeling my way in the faint street light that came through the window. Once safely arrived at the bottom, I walked into the kitchen and looked around in the refrigerator. There was nothing much I wanted to eat: the remains of a bunch of celery, a blue-tinged heel of bread, a lemon going soft. I’ve fallen into the habits of the solitary; my meals are snatched and random. Furtive snacks, furtive treats and picnics. I made do with some peanut butter, scooped directly from the jar with a forefinger: why dirty a spoon?Standing there with the jar in one hand and my finger in my mouth, I had the feeling that someone was about to walk into the room — some other woman, the unseen, valid owner — and ask mewhat in hell I was doing in her kitchen. I’ve had it before, the se nse that even in the course of my most legitimate and daily actions —peeling a banana, brushing my teeth —I am trespassing.At night the house was more than ever like a stranger’s. I wandered through the front room, the dining room, the parlour, hand on the wall for balance. My various possessions were floating in their own pools of shadow, denying my ownership of them. I looked them over with a burglar’s eye, deciding what might be worth the risk of stealing, what on the other hand I would leave behind. Robbers would take the obvious things —the silver teapot that was my grandmother’s, perhaps the hand-painted china. The television set. Nothing I really want.75.The author could not fall asleep because ____.A. it was too damp in the bedroomB. she had run out of sleeping pillsC. she was in very poor healthD. she felt very hungry76.The author did not like the food in the refrigerator because it was NOT ____.A. freshB. sufficientC. nutritiousD. delicious77.By “At night the house was more than ever like a stranger’s”(Line 1, Para. 4), the author probably means that ____.A. the house was too dark at nightB. ther were unfamiliar rooms in the houseC. she felt much more lonely at nightD. the furniture there didn’t belong to herTEXT DThe chief problem in coping with foreign motorists is not so much remembering that they are different from yourself, but that they are enormously variable. Cross a frontier without adjusting and you can be in deep trouble.One of the greatest gulfs separating the driving nations is the Atlantic Ocean. More precisely, it is the mental distance between the European and the American motorist, particularly the South American motorist. Compare, for example, an English driver at a set of traffic lights with a Brazilian.Very rarely will an Englishman try to anticipate the green light by moving off prematurely. You will find the occasional sharpie who watches for the amber to come up on the adjacent set of lights. However, he will not go until he receives the lawful signal. Brazilians view the thing quite differently. If, in fact, they see traffic lights at all, they regard them as a kind of roadside decoration.The natives of North America are much more disciplined. They demonstrate this in their addiction to driving in one lane and sticking to it —even if it means settling behind some great truck for many miles.To prevent other drivers from falling into reckless ways, American motorists try always to stay close behind the vehicle in front which can make it impossible, when all the vehicles are moving at about 55 mph, to make a real lane change. European visitors are constantly falling into this trap. They return to the Old World still flapping their arms in frustration because while driving in the State in their car they kept failing to get off the highway when they wanted to and were swept along to the next city.However, one nation above all others lives scrupulously by its traffic regulations — the Swiss. InSwitzerland, if you were simply to anticipate a traffic light, the chances are that the motorist behind you would take your number and report you to the police. What is more, the police would visit you; and you would be convicted.The Swiss take their rules of the road so seriously that a diver can be ordered to appear in court and charged for speeding on hearsay alone, and very likely found guilty. There are slight regional variations among the French, German and Italian speaking areas, but it is generally safe to assume that any car bearing a CH sticker will be driven with a high degree of discipline.78.The fact that the Brazilians regard traffic lights as a kind of roadside decoration suggests that ____.A. traffic lights are part of street sceneryB. they simply ignore traffic lightsC. they want to put them at roadsidesD. there are very few traffic lights79. The second and third paragraphs focus on the difference between ____.A. the Atlantic Ocean and other oceansB. English drivers and American driversC. European drivers and American driversD. European drivers and South American drivers80.The phrase “anticipate the green light”(Line 1, Para. 3) is closest in meaning to ____.A. wait for the green light to be onB. forbid others to move before the green lightC. move off before the green light is onD. follow others when the green light is onSECTION B SKIMMING AND SCANNING ［5 MIN.］In this section there are seven passages with a total of ten multiple-choice questions. Skim or scan them as required and then mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT EFirst read the following question.81.This paper will mainly discuss ____A. China’s economic policies in general.B. China’s special economic zones.C. significance of investment in China.D. China’s recent development.Now, go through TEXT E quickly and answer question 81.Over the past decade, there have been a lot of changes in China’s economic policies. Like other developing countries which are attempting to become more export-orientated, China has started to set up free trade zones. These zones are called “Special Economic Zones”(SEZ’s) and feature various incentives designed to encourage foreign investment. What is the significance of these zones? Have they really played an important role in the development of significance of these zones? Have they really played an important role in the development of the economy of China? In this paper I first describe the background to the establishment of these zones. Then I describe some of the aims and characteristics of the SEZ’s. Lastly, I attempt to assess the significance of the SEZ’s in the development of the wider Chinese economy.。

2004 TEM4 Oral English Test Paper
Task I: Retell a story
When she was 22 years old Pat Jones decided that she wanted to travel around the world and see as many foreign places as she could while she was young. When she finished college at home in Britain Pat chose to visit Latin America first, so she managed to get a job as an English teacher in a secondary school in Bolivia. Pat spoke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with her students even though they did not know much English. A sentence she had once read somewhere stuck in her mind: if you dream in a foreign language, it means that you have really mastered it. Pat repeated this sentence to her students and she hoped that someday she would dream in Spanish and they would dream in English. One day Tim, one of the worst students in her class, came up to her and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He said that he had gone to bed early and had slept badly. Pat was quite angry with him, for she did not think that his explanation had anything to do with his homework. But Tim told her that he dreamed all night and his dream was in English. “In English!”Pat thought. She was greatly surprised, since Tim was such a bad student. She was also secretly jealous. Her dreams were still not in Spanish, but she decided to encourage her student and asked hi m to tell her about his dream. “All the pe ople in my dream spoke English,” Tim said. “And all the signs were in English. All the newspapers and magazines and all the TV programs were in Eng lish.” “But that’s wonderful,” said Pat. “What did all the people say to you?” she asked. “I’m sorry, Miss Jones. That’s why I slept so badl y all through the night. I didn’t understand a word they said. It was a nightmare!” Tim answered. (324 words)
Task II: Talk based on a given topic
Describe one of the most unpleasant dreams you’ve ever had.
Task III: Role-play
Student A: Nowadays higher education is getting more and more expensive. To quite a number of families it has become a big financial burden. You try to discuss this problem with student B. You think that parents should pay tuition for their children since college students do not yet have any regular income.
Student B: Nowadays higher education is getting more and more expensive. To quite a number of families, it has become a big financial burden. You try to discuss this problem with student A. Your opinion is that it is unfair to put this big burden on parents since college students are already adults. Students themselves should find ways to pay their own tuitions.。
