Do you have anything to declare?M: Only these cartons of cigarettes, a bottle of brandy and some silver jewelry. That’s all.Q: What probably is the woman?13. W: Do you have any idea what this notice is about? I have thought about it for a whole day.M: Let me see. Oh, I’m as in the dark as you areQ: What does the man mean?14. M: Your husband has just twisted his ankle. In a week or so he’ll be able to go mountain climbing again.W: He won’t be doing any climbing if I can help it. He could have been killed by that fall.Q: What happened to the woman’s husband?15. M: I can come to your house and pick you up in half an hour. Is that all right?W: Good. That means you’ll be here at seven-thirty.Q: What time is it now?16. W: There are only a few drops left in the can. I guess we’ll have to buy some in the morning.M: Well, we can finish up this job tomorrow. Let’s just wash out our brushes for now.Q: What does the woman probably want to buy? 17.

I don’t know how since I haven’t really been out that much.W: Well, it’s good to hear that about your classes. Actually, I was just chatting with your journalism professor, and she told me that she was impressed with your writing skills and that it would be such a shame to keep it in the confines of the classroom during your stay here at the university.M: She said that?

That runs for ten weeks and it’s a foundation-level course, so it’s for people just beginning in photography.M: RightW: That’s on Monday evenings, from 6:30 to 9:30. Next, there’s “Black and White Photography”, which is at intermediate level, so you would need some previous experience for that one. And you also have to have an interview with a tutor beforehand.M: Sounds interesting. Which evening is it on?W: It’s a daytime course, actually. From 2:00 to 4:30 on Tuesdays. That’s also for ten weeks.M: That’s a pity, I work on Tuesday afternoons.W: There’s also “Landscape Photography”, which is on Tuesday evenings, from 6:30 to 9:00. that’s a longer course than the others, it runs for sixteen weeks.M: And do you need previous experience for that one?

OK… then the only other one we do is “The Art of Digital Photography”.M: I am not sure that’s for me, but which evening is it? W: It’s a flextime course. It’s on Wednesday, but you can do it at any time to suit you during the daytime.M: How many weeks is that?W: it’s up to you, really. You have to do 60 hours in all.

What is important to them is sound.Sound is an efficient way to transmit and sense information, especially as it travels five times faster through water than through air. If humans shout to someone, it is unlikely that they will be heard a kilometer away. But if a whale shouts in an ocean channel, another whale may hear it tens, if not hundreds, of kilometers away.Whales and dolphins use sound in two ways: for communication and for echolocation. Dolphins and toothed whales communicate through a wide variety of high-frequency sounds.But as well as using sounds to communicate, toothed whales and dolphins also rely on echolocation to learn about their immediate environment, including prey that might be waiting nearby. They produce intense short broad-band pulses of sound in the ultrasonic range. These clicks are brief, typically less than one millisecond long –but they are repeated many times each second. 26. for whales and dolphins, which sense is mostimportant?27. How much faster does the sound travel in the water than in the air?28. how do the dolphins and toothed whales communicate?Passage 2The latest report from the institute for International Education gives information from the school year that began in September of last year and ended in May of this year. It says more than 500000 foreign college students attended American schools during that school year.New York University in New York City had the largest number of foreign students. Almost 5000 foreign students attended NYU last year. The University of Southern California at Los Angeles had the second largest number of students, about 4500.The report says the State of California had the most foreign students, with about 66000 living there last year. New York State was next, with about 55000 foreign students.China sent the most foreign students to the UnitedStates last year. More than 54000 Chinese students attended American schools. Japan sent the next highest number of students, almost 47000. India was next, with about 42000. And Korea was fourth, sending more than 41000 students to the United States.The report says the most popular subjects of study for international students in the United States last year were business and management. Twenty percent of all foreign students were studying those subjects. Fifteen percent studied engineering. Nineteen percent studied mathematics and computer science.29. Which university had the second largest number of foreign students in America according to the latest report?30. What can we learn about the State of California according to the latest report?31. What were the most popular subjects for the international students in the United States last year?Passage 3Advertising is the tool that has always been used to convince the public to buy products. In the beginning, itwas a basic and crude tool. Craftsmen carried out to passersby, telling the quality of their products. Today, newspapers, magazines, radio, and television use a variety of means to introduce the public to many products developed through technology.The Romans started using recorded advertisements. They smoothed and whitened areas on a wall where advertisements could be written or carved.In the Middle Ages, people continued to use verbal announcements and written messages, but a new form of advertising, using symbols, was developed as well. Shops displayed a special symbol to indicate what goods or services could be found inside.The Industrial Revolution caused an explosion in the advertising field. The abundance of luxury goods, coming both from new inventions and from trade with different parts of the world, meant that consumers had to be told more about products than ever before. They had to be persuaded that they needed all these new products and that one product was superior to its many competitors. The buying public was soon being exposed to endless amounts of advertising.32. what is the passage mainly about?33. how did early craftsmen advertise their products?34. who first started using written advertisements?35. when did advertising first boom?。
