Listening InTask 1: It’s time to buy.Mike: Hey, Robert, where are you off to?Robert: I’m going to talk to a banker about a loan.Mike: You are short of money? I thought you were the saving type.Robert: There’s a time to save and a time to spend.Mike: I know all about spending. What’s the loan for?

Sounds like a good time to buy.a banker a loansaving save spenda mortgage propertyProperty valuesrisen/gone up/increased by 30 percentTask 2: Can I have my change please?Tom was down on his luck and felt he needed a few drinks. Hw went to a bar and had several drinks. When he was done, he stood up and walked toward the door. The barman shouted after him, “Hey mister, are you going to pay for those drinks?”Tom turned around an d replied, “I have already paid you,” and then walked out of the bar. Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, “Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid.”This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and has several drinks. The barman went to him and said, “Before you came in, another man was here. When I asked him to pay his bill, he told me he’d paid, but I don’t remember him paying me.”Richard said, “I would love to stay and hear your story, but I don’t have time. Can I havemy change please?”1. A2.B3.D4.C5.CTask 3: Why not just print money?What’s the solution to a recession, a time of little econom ic activity? Just print money! Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Let’s see if this will work by using an example.Let’s pretend that all the students in your class make up the ENTER population of the country, and the teacher represents the government. Let’s a lso pretend each student has exactly $1.00.Since we are in a recession, let’s have the teacher, who represents the government, print money. He prints $1.00 more for everyone. Now everyone has $1.00 more to spend. More money to spend sounds like a great way to get us out of recession, since more money to spend means demand for goods and services.Then if that works, why don’t we give MORE money away? How about $100? Now we have lots of money to spend. So no more recession, right?Not really, because we have only looked at one side of the problem. As more and more people receive more and more money, what’ll happen?Since everyone has more money, the students all go shopping to spend that extra money. This causes the demand for goods and services to rise, and people who sell goods and services raise price. For example, if you could buy a new music CD at $10 in the past, now the price could be $1,000! This is called inflation.So, the original reason for printing all this money was to help get us of recession, but we have only replaced one problem with another.1.T2.T3.F4.F5.FIV. Speaking OutModel 1 I want to blow it all.John: Hey, Se-Jin, do you want to come shopping with me? My dad just gave me my monthly allowance and I want to blow it all.Se-Jin: That sounds just like you, John! What do you want to buy?John: I don’t know…Some music CDs, maybe.Se-Jin: If you spend all that money on things you don’t even know if you want, you won’t have any money left when you need it.John: But if I just save my money, that doesn’t s sound like much fun either. Besides, I need some new CDs.Se-Jin: You also need a financial advisor!Now Your TurnA: Hey, do you want to come shopping with me? I just got some money from my part-time job, and I want to get rid of it right away.B: That’s your style. What do you want to buy?A: I don’t know…some fashionable clothes, maybe.B: If you waste all your money on things you don’t even know if you want, you’ll be out of money completely when you need it.A: But if I ju st hold on to my money…that doesn’t make much sense either. I really need some new clothes. What’s the point of saving lots of money without fun?B: As I see it, you need a person to look after your money.Model 2 Can money buy everything?Peter: I’m try ing to think of ways to become rich. If I could get my hands on a lot of money, I’ll be really happy.Jane: Do you really think so? I’m not so sure.Peter: Of course, why wouldn’t I? I’d be able to have anything I want.Jane: Well, there are plenty of peop le who have a lot of money but aren’t happy. What do you say to that?Peter: But if I became a millionaire, I’d buy whatever I wanted.Jane: Can you buy true love? Can you buy the moon?Peter: Maybe not, but I can buy a house with a lot of modern conveniences. Jane: So many people think like you do, buy look at all the divorces, suicides and murders among wealthy people. How do you explain that?Peter: Maybe there’s something in what you said.Now Your TurnA: I really hope I can make a fortune. If I had a lot of money, I’d be as happy as a king.B: Do you really believe so? I have my doubts about it.A: Of course, why wouldn’t I? If I were a millionaire, there’s nothing I couldn’tbuy.B: Well, can you but health? Can you but true friendship?B: Maybe not. But I can but a big house and car, and make my life more comfortable.A: Maybe you have a point there. Money can bring material comforts. But don’t forget, there are also divorces and suicides among wealthy people.B: Well, there is some truth in what you said. Money cannot but real happiness. Model 3 I wonder if you could give me a loan.John: Hey, Se-Jin, I was just on my way to find you.Se-Jin: What’s up, John?John: Se-Jin, I’m kind of broke, and you usually have a bundle tucked away. I wonder if you could give me a loan.Se-Jin: Dream on! I’m hard up myself.John: You see, I want to buy some new stereo equipment, and I’m just about a hundred short.Se-Jin: Why not save up for it?John: The stores have all stuff on a huge sales promotion right now. I could save at least 30 percent!S-Jin: John, I’d lend you money if you were in a jam. But a new stereo isn’t an emergency.John: Then I’m afraid I have to find someone who is more easy-going.Now Your TurnA: Hi, I was trying to catch up with you.B: What happened?A: Money had burned a hole in my pocket. You usually have some savings. I wonder if you can lend me some money?B: You’re daydreaming. I’m short of money myself.A: Look, I want to buy a digital camera, and I’m only short of 150 bucks.B: Why not save towards it?A: The camera is on sale right now. This can save me almost 25 percent.B: Well, I’d lend you the money if you were in real redouble. But a new camera isn’t urgent.A: Then I’m afraid I’ll have to try someone who’s more generous.V. L et’s TalkStory of a MiserThere was a miser who loved money more than anything else. Just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now, listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.”He made her promise with all her heart that when he dies, she would pit all the money in the casket with him. Then he died. He was laid in the casket, his wife was sitting there wearing black, and her friend was sitting next to her.When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got already to close the casket, the wife said, “Wait a minute!” She had a box with her. She came over with the box and put it in the casket.Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. He friend said, “Girl, I know you weren’t fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband!”She said, “Listen, I’m a Christian. I can’t go back on my word. I promise him that I would put all the money in the casket with him.”“You mean you really put that money in the casket with him!?”“I surely did,” said the wife. “I wrote him a check.”more thanmoney casketpromisein the casketsitting blacknext to/besideclosea boxaway/offfoolish all that money/the moneya Christian on her wordput the moneya checkVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Giving Money to a BeggarSusan: Hey, Robert, you gave that beggar some of your hard-earned cash? Robert: I know. He looked as if he needed help.Susan: Buy you’re alway s so careful with your money.Robert: Yeah, I guess so, but I like to help when someone’s in need. Susan: I just wonder why the guy doesn’t get a job and make his own living. Robert: It’s just not that simple, Susan. Some people have a hard time of it i n life.Susan: Maybe they waste all their money. If you give them money, they will just go on wasting it.Robert: Life has been good to me, Susan, and I’d like to share some of my luck. the beggaras ifcareful with/abouta jobpeoplea hard timewastesharegood luckTask 2: Buying a MachineAn American manufacturer is showing his machine factory to a potential customer. At noon, when the lunch bell rings, two thousand men and women immediately stop working and leave the building.“Your workers, they’re escaping!” cries the visitor. “You’ve got to stop them.”“Don’t worry, they’ll be back,” says the American. And indeed, an exactly one 0’clock the bell rings again, and all the workers return from their break.When the tour is over, the manufacturer t urn s to his guest and says, “Well, now, which of these machines would you like to order?”“Forget the machines,” says the visitor. “How much do you want for that bell?”1.T2.F3.F4.T5.TTask 3: An Introduction to Credit CardsCredit cards are plastic cards issued by a bank or other financial institutions allowing the holder to buy goods and service without using cash. Many American don’t like to carry much ca sh. For them the cards are convenient and safe to use. Credit cards are gaining popularity, even for buying small items. They are accepted almost everywhere, though not at fast food restaurants.Credit cards allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy. When you use a credit card, the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store. Later, a bill will be mailed to you by your credit card company for the amount you purchased. At that time, you can either pay the bill in full, or only pay a minimum amount, and wait till later to finish paying. If you wait till later, you will owe the credit card company interest on the amount that you do not pay.1.D2.C3.B4.C5.ASpeakingCan you change a twenty-dollar bill?Cashier: How can I help you, Miss?Jill: Could you change a 20 for me?Cashier: Sure.

M: Do you think we have made enough food for the party?W: The refrigerator is about to explode.Q: What does the woman imply?3. W: She said she might become a famous movie star.M: Yes, and pigs might fly.Q: What does the man mean?4.

You might just miss it.Q: What does the man mean?1. A2.D3.B4.C5.BIII. Listening InTask 1: Waiting for the New Harry Potter MovieAmy: I‟m so excited about finally seeing this movie!Peter: Me too. I‟m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series?Amy: She‟s already written Book Seven? I‟m still waiting for Book Five…Peter: I know. Who isn‟t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood…It scares me to death just to think about it!Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: …Ah, the sweet smell of my love.‟” The actor was excited. All daylong before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!”he cried. “You‟ve ruined my play! You‟ve ruined me!”The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?”“No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It‟s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It‟s great!Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It‟s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it‟s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.1.He likes to see movies and comment on them.2.Four.3.Three.4.One.IV. Speaking OutModel 1 Will you come with me?John: Laura, I am wondering if you‟re free tomorrow night.Laura: Well, I guess I am. Why?John: I‟ve got two Star Wars premiere tickets. Will you come with me?Laura: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!John: It‟s my pleasure.Laura: I really wanted to see Star Wars on the opening night, but the tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?John: A friend of mine works at the “Pepsi” headquarters, which is a major sponsor of the movie.So he was able to get the tickets for free.Laura: Wow, people are paying as much as $200 each on the black market. I‟m flattered you went through all this trouble just for me.John: You‟re welcome.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hi, are you busy this weekend?B: Yes. What‟s on your mind?A: I‟ve got two tickets for the car exhibition. Would you like to go with me?B: Sure. Thanks for your invitation.A: It‟s nothing.B: I‟ve been wanting to see exhibition, but it was not at all easy to get a ticket. How did you manage to get two tickets?A: A friend of mine works at the exhibition center. She was able to get three free tickets.B: Wow, people are paying almost 100 yuan for a ticket on the black market. Thank you very much indeed for inviting me.A: No problem.Model 2 What did you think about the movie?John: So…what did you think about the movie?Laura: Well… I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as the previous ones.John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!Laura: Why do you think so?John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-artspecial effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes.Laura: You‟re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What did you think about The Lion King?B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It‟s a killer flick.A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?A: Well, it‟s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings. B: You‟re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.Model 3 The plot is first-class.John: It‟s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie. Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past.Laura: I think the plot was first-class. But I don‟t think the character development was that strong.John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie?Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak.They just didn‟t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines.John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can‟t imagine anyone else playing that part.Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He‟s soooo cute!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What do you think about the movie?B: I think the plot was first-class. But I don‟t think the character development was so strong.A: Yes, the characterization was rather weak. Do you think it is because of the casting of the movie?B: No, the cast was strong. But the acting was rather poor. And the lines are not interesting at all. A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.B: Yeah, I liked her too. She‟s adorable!V. Let‟s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up insituations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock‟s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?”“Gooseflesh.”replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he‟d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.1. A2.C3.DVI. Furthering Listening and Speaking ListeningTask 1: Only One LinePeter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he‟s only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THA T?”1.memorizing lines2.remember one line3.I hear the guns roar4. a loud boom5.his lineTask 2: An Interview with J.K. RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn‟t know he was a wizard. Q: Did you always plan to write Harry‟s story in more than one book? If so, how many?A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry‟s life at the school.Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don‟t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry‟s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn‟t WANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: The Secret of the Next Harry Potter BookThe Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money. Movies based on the books won several Oscar nominations. Readers are now keen to know the plot of the next book.Harry Potter movie fans will get a long-awaited treat. The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret is finally about to come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School. Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret, the secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!J.K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, for mow Harry‟s secret is safe with her!1. D2.C3.A4.BSpeakingViews on MoviesInterviewer: Hello, Robert and Richard, I‟d like to ask you something about movies. Do you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound effect is muchbetter.Interviewer: What about you, Richard?Richard: Just the opposite. It‟s more comfortable to sit at home.Interviewer: There‟re many different movie genres, for example, science fiction, action, comedy, romance. What‟s your personal favorite?Robert: My favorite would be action movies.Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties compared with the modern blockbusters?Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent. But try to comparethem with today‟s technology, and you‟ll find there isn‟t anything to compare. It‟s so superior today.。

The arrival of digital (数字的) time has been changing the way we act and think. I believe that it has put us to a higher level of anxiety, with greater expectations of efficiency.The old, round, hand-moved time still kept a certain connection to the natural flow of things, to the roundness of the earth, and to the changes of light and seasons. Old, round time was outside ourselves, far enough removed from us so we could ignore it if we so chose.It is not so with digital time, which is a beat. It beats instead of turning. It makes a sound like the sound of the heart and thus places itself smoothly into the body. More and more, we mistake its regular beat for our own, thus mistaking the demands of the world for our wishes.Before wrist watches, time used to live in towers in the centers of towns. At that distance, it could be seen by everybody, but only if they so wished. It took an effort, an actual visit to "time". But then something happened. Time began to live with us, and now it is beginning to live in us.I remember what it was like to be a child, absorbed in the endlessly changeable thing of time. Forme there was only child time, divided meaninglessly and quite painfully by the orders of the parents into Bedtime, Wakeup Time, and School Time. But within each of those divisions (分割), Eternity still ruled. Later, of course, they managed to infect me with the anxious demands of clock time. Very soon, all that remained was the anxiety of that which was exact. The fast beats of the timepiece (时钟) cut Eternity to pieces.Occasionally, I stop long enough to recall the times of childhood, but not often enough. Like everybody else, I am helpless before the new technologies. Time is a virus, and it is growing stronger.76.Digital time has changed how we act and think by ____________________.A. allowing us to work with more efficiencyB. giving us more time to do what we likeC. causing us to be more anxiousD. having us expect more of others77.The author thinks that the old clocks ____________________.A. are somehow linked with the seasonal changesB. stay closer to people than a digital watchC. are connected with human's handsD. work better than a wrist watch78.Before watches, clocks were located __________________.A. everywhere for everyone to seeB. wherever a person wishedC. on the wristD. in the center of town79.In the author's early childhood memory, _________________.A. time was a concrete thingB. time seemed to have no endC. he fought against his parents' idea of timeD. he enjoyed the anxiety of precision (精确)80.The author's attitude towards time in the modern world is ____________.A. positiveB. unclearC. negativeD. in the middleQuestions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.The University of London is one of Britain's largest centers for higher education, with a name for international education. Located in one of the world's most dynamic(有活力有生气的) cities, we can offer international students a wide and exciting cultural life, as well as the very best course choice and teaching. We offer our international students the ability to study and improve their command of English, to ensure they get the best from the course of their choice.International students are assured of a successful and happy time while studying at the University of London. We have a Student Service office to help you at all times, and first year students are ensured a place in halls of residence if desired. Your teacher will give you personal instruction if required. Students can enjoy themselves in the free health center at any time.As a final point, we offer religious service rooms for those of all faiths and as London is an international city, we can put students in touch with many religious groups in this area. Finally, with excellent air, rail, and road links to the rest of Britain, Europe, and the world, getting here is easy.81.The University of London is located in a city __________________.A. well known for producing excellent professorsB. full of activity and energyC. where you can enjoy everything free of chargeD. that is quiet and peaceful all the time82.The University of London is famous for __________________.A. the largest number of studentsB. being located on the ThamesC. excellent transportationD. international education83.Whenever international students have any difficulty in life, they can go to _______________for help.A. the health centerB. the hall of residenceC. the Student Service officeD. their teacher84.The university assures the first year students that _________________.A. they can have a place in halls of residence if they wish toB. they don't have to pay for their first-year educationC. they will all be put into some religious groupsD. they can get houses at Newcastle for a very low price85.The main purpose of this passage is to __________________.A. attract more travelers to LondonB. show that the University offers religious serviceC. draw more international studentsD. show how students enjoy their studyQuestions 86 to 90 are based on the same passage or dialog.Stare at the clock.Make silly drawings.Stare at the clock again.Complain about the weather.The clock? It's still there, ticking even more slowly.No, none of this was planned for the meeting.You'd love to get your work done, but instead you spend half your day in a meeting room.Office workers spend an average of 23 hours a week in meetings, according to the Wharton Center for Applied Research in the US. And, these workers consider only 58 percent of that time useful.It doesn't have to be this way. Here are a few guidelines for you to use meetings effectively, not eat up your productivity.1) Know what you want. "Know precisely why the meeting is being held and decide realistically what you intend to accomplish," says Gayle Brickman, a US communication instructor. "If you cannot write these two things down, the meeting should not take place."2) Figure out whether a face-to-face meeting is necessary. Would a group email be enough? A couple of phone calls? These ways would probably be more efficient with fellow workers you know well.3) Pick the right times. If possible, avoid planning meetings during your most productive hours. If everyone runs to the break room for coffee at 10:30 am, that would be an excellent time to have informal staff meetings.4) Be prepared. Read the plan for what needs to be done. Study the numbers on the projectyou're putting forward. If there are papers to be discussed, hand them out the day before to those who will attend the meeting.5) Keep track of the time for them. Set apart a certain amount of time each week for themeetings, and keep to it.If you still find yourself caught in meeting after meeting, don't feel bad. At least your organization obviously thinks your physical presence is valuable.86. A worker who is in a meeting that he doesn't want to take part in is likely to ___________.A. draw funny picturesB. change the clockC. check the weatherD. plan another meeting87.Office workers think that _________ the time used in meetings is wasted.A. more than half ofB. almost all ofC. less than half ofD. none of88.In this passage, we are advised to follow some principles in order to __________.A. learn guidelinesB. eat up productivityC. make the most of meetingsD. increase production89.To decide whether a meeting is necessary, we may ask the following questions except"___________".A. Can I solve the problem by email or phone call?B. Will my fellow workers like to have this meeting?C. What is the purpose of this meeting?D. What do I intend to get from the meeting?90.It is a good time to have informal staff meetings ___________.A. when you and your coworkers are most productiveB. when all the staff are having a coffee breakC. before you hand out the information to be discussedD. when you can keep track of the time。

Questions1to5are based on the same passage or dialog. What is the value of the humanities?Why should we study the humanities given the currenteconomic recession?In this new era of continuous unemployment slides and shrinking university funds, questions about the importance of the humanities in a complex and technologically demanding world have taken on new urgency.While the humanities may not seem as important as engineering,chemistry,or any of the other"hard" sciences,it still plays a significant role in the world. There is a great misunderstanding of what the humanities are and what they can do.People often assume that the humanities are just about reading the great literary andphilosophical works and understanding the question of what living is for.I would argue that humanities–at least from a Cultural Studies perspective–is much more than reading the classic works and speculating about the meaning of life. In Cultural Studies,we apply theory to practice.Thinking and acting outside of the ivory tower,Cultural Studies attempts to produce research that engages with the public. As a cultural researcher,I am constantly asking myself the"So what?"question.Why does this topic matter?Why should people care?This continuous self-questioning helps bridge the gap between theory and practice.While I am learning for the sake of learning,I believe scholars have the responsibility to think about the ways in which their research relates to the larger picture.What is the point of research if it doesn't affect the way people think about and act in the world?One thing I think Cultural Studies does effectively is rethinking the way we have traditionally thought about things.In Cultural Studies,few things–if anything–are taken for granted.Our research is largely driven bythe question of what it means to be human.Through critical and creative engagement,we attempt to speculate on a question in a way that inspires people to imagine what might be instead of what is.This critical and creative engagement is especially important given the worsening state of the economy and the need for creative ways of being in the world.1.Why has the question of studying the humanities taken on new urgency?A.More people have realized its importance.B.It has become a more interesting topic.C.It's driven by the current economic downturn.D.It's compelled by today's complex world.2.According to the author,what's the assumption of the general public?A."Hard"sciences are more important than the humanities.B.Most people don't know who they are and what they can do.C.People don't really understand the meaning of life.D.The humanities are only to do with literatures and philosophies.3.What does Paragraph3mainly talk about?A.It asks"So what?"question.B.It argues to support the humanities.C.It produces research to get involved with people.D.It tries to think and act outside of the ivory tower.4.What is the author's point in Paragraph4?A.Do the research that will impact on people.B.Bridge the gap between theory and practice.C.Learn things for the sake of learning.ke the responsibility to do research.5.According to the author,"rethinking"means________.A.to think what it means to be humanB.to believe nothing is certainC.to question the traditional way of thinkingD.to use a unique way of thinkingQuestions6to10are based on the same passage or dialog. Today,colleges and universities are under strong attack. Teachers are not doing a good job of teaching,and students are not doing a good job of learning.College graduates lack both basic skills and general knowledge.One aspect of college education,too seldom challenged, is the lecture system.One problem with lectures is that listening intelligently is hard work.Reading the samematerial in a textbook is a more efficient way to learn because students can adjust the speed as they need to until the subject matter becomes clear to them.Even simply paying attention is very difficult:people can listen at a rate of400to600words a minute,while the most enthusiastic professor talks at a much faster speed. Worse still,attending lectures is passive learning,at least for inexperienced listeners.Active learning,in which students write essays or perform experiments and then have their work evaluated by an instructor,is far more beneficial for those who have not yet fully learned how to learn.While it's true that techniques of active listening can enhance the value of a lecture,few students possess such skills at the beginning of their college careers.What they do is usually write everything down. Students need to question their professors and to have their ideas taken seriously.Only then will they develop the analytical skills required to think intelligently and creatively.Most students learn best by engaging in frequent and even heated debate.Smaller classes in which students are required to involve themselves in discussion put an end to students'passivity.Students becomeactively involved when forced to question their own ideas as well as the professor's.Classes like this require energy,imagination,and commitment from both the teacher and students.Students are compelled to share responsibility for their own intellectual growth. Lectures will never entirely disappear from the university both because they seem to be economically necessary and they spring from a long tradition.If lecture classes were restricted to junior and senior undergraduates,they would be far less destructive of students'interest and enthusiasms than the present system.6.Why does the author argue that a lecture class is not efficient?A.Students don't have listening ability at the beginning.B.Many teachers don't care about students'comprehension.C.Students learn things at an extremely slow speed.D.Teachers may evaluate students'work later.7."Passive learning"means________.A.learning things slowly in a lecture classB.studying on one's own at homeC.writing everything down from the lectureD.anticipating the teacher's next point8.According to the author,what kind of learning is more efficient?A.Question professors.B.Take small classes.C.Have class discussion.D.Engage in debate.9.Why does the author think asking questions is important in active learning?A.Because it can help students learn more creatively and quickly.B.Because it can improve students'analytical skills.C.Because it can challenge themselves and the professor.D.Because it can make them look smart.10.The author predicts that________.A.lectures will die out eventuallyB.lectures will be as destructive as todayC.lectures will still exist at college and universitiesD.lectures won't destroy students'interest in learning Questions11to15are based on the same passage or dialog. After men landed on the moon in1969,astronauts(宇航员) around the world had a problem–there were no other places they could go!Even today,the other planets are still toofar away for astronauts to fly to.So while rockets and robots can go to other planets,manned flights have to stay closer to home.Therefore,manned space programs have turned their attention to solving problems related to living and working in space.Currently,NASA's(US National Aeronautics and Space Administration)manned space explorationprogram focuses on the space shuttle program.NASA now operates three space shuttles,Discovery,Atlantis,and Endeavor.Unfortunately,two of NASA's shuttles, Challenger and Columbia,were lost through accidents. Seven astronauts died in each accident.The program completed135missions when the program ended with the successful landing at the Kennedy Space Center on July21, 2011.These missions have included putting satellites into orbit,photographing the earth,studying space, conducting experiments related to working in space,and connecting with various manned space station in orbit. Throughout the short history of the exploration of space, several space stations have been put into orbit.The first manned space station was the Soviet station Salyut1,put into orbit ter,in1986,the Soviet Unionlaunched the Mir space station.Mir stayed in orbit until March23,2001.Over that time,104astronauts visited the station to stay for various lengths of time.The person who has spent the longest in space so far is Russian astronaut Valeri Polyakov.Working as the doctor aboard the station,he lived on Mir for438days without returning to earth.In total,Polyakov worked aboard Mir for678days before retiring.Today,astronauts from around the world are working together to complete the International Space Station(ISS). The construction began in1998,and the US Orbital Segment was completed in2011.Operations are expected to continue until at least2020.In the long run,it is hoped that the ISS will be a place where people can live and work all year round.11.Why can't astronauts travel to other planets now?A.Because there are not enough space shuttles.B.Because there have been too many rocket accidents.C.Because the journey would take too long for human.D.Because there are too many problems here on Earth.12.What is the fact of NASA's manned space exploration program?A.Discovery,Atlantis,and Endeavor were lost through accidents.B.Challenger and Columbia are the current space shuttles.C.Seven astronauts died in accidents.D.NASA had completed135missions by July21,2011.13.What is TRUE about Valeri Polyakov?A.He has spent more time in space than anyone else.B.He stayed aboard Mir for678days at one time.C.He is still an astronaut though he is retired.D.He often helped the doctor at the Mir space station.14.What is TRUE about the International Space Station?A.It is being built by the United States alone.B.It will be launched into space in2011.C.It was completed in1998.D.It will eventually have people living and working there.15.What is the best title for this passage?A.Valeri Polyakov—An Amazing AstronautB.The Past and Future of Space TravelC.Space Cities of the FutureD.Living and Working on the International Space Station Questions16to20are based on the same passage or dialog. What do Leonardo da Vinci(达芬奇)and Albert Einstein havein common?They were both left-handed,along with other famous people including Pablo Picasso(毕加索).In fact, an estimated11percent of Americans and Europeans are left-handed.Most people around the world are right-handed.This fact also seems to have held true throughout history.In1977, scientists studied works of art made at various time in history starting with cave drawings from15,000B.C.and ending with paintings from the1950s.Most of the people shown in these works of art are right-handed,so scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common. Many researchers claim to have found relationships between left-handedness and various physical and mental characteristics,such as blond hair,blue eyes, vegetarianism,and sleep difficulties.Other studies have found a higher-than-normal level of left-handed people in certain occupations,including professional baseball and tennis players,architects,lawyers,as well as prisoners. However,some of these connections are very weak,and others haven't been proven.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed?As yet,no one really knows for sure.Onesimple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents.Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only9.5percent chance of having a left-handed child,while two left-handed parents have a26percent chance of having a left-handed child.Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during their birth.Whatever the reasons behind it,people's attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although13percent of young people (10-12years old)are left-handed,only6percent of the elderly are left-handed.Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children,but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down upon nor are they considered abnormal. For most people today either case is perfectly acceptable. There are even a number of shops now that specialize in selling products designed for left-handed people,such as left-handed scissors,can openers,guitars,and even a left-handed camera.Don't you think it's wonderful? 16.From studying works of art,scientists have learned that________.A.left-handed people are better artistsB.most artists are left-handedC.most people in history were right-handedD.cave drawings were drawn using both hands17.What is talking about in the Paragraph3?A.People with certain characteristics are better at certain jobs.B.Left-handed people are better at some jobs.C.Left-handedness is linked with certain characters and occupations.D.There are some reasons why people are left-handed.18.Why is a person right-handed?A.It is caused by the person's parents.B.It is due to the environment the person lives in.C.It is suffered a mild brain damage at birth.D.It is not sure about specific reasons yet.19.What can be assumed about the children of two left-handed parents?A.Many of them are left-handed.B.Most of them are right-handed.C.Most of them use both hands equally.D.Very few of them are left-handed.20.Left-handed children________.A.are usually looked down uponB.are exceptionally talented like EinsteinC.are thought of as abnormalD.were often forced to become right-handedQuestions21to25are based on the same passage or dialog. Worldwide,40million new passenger cars are built every year.A recent survey estimates that the number of cars will triple over the next20years.Most of this growth will take place in China.In comparison,the United States has been completely transformed by cars.Cars did not become necessities for families in the United States until after World War II.Prior to that time,cars were seen mainly as toys for the rich.By the end of the war,however,people were tired of saving their money.They were ready to have some fun.Unlike Europe and Japan,whose industries had been wiped out by World War II,factories in the United States could quickly be changed from production of wartime items to mass production of such luxury items as cars.As cars grew in popularity in the United States,there were also changes in lifestyle.Farmers who were once isolatedfrom society by rural life now took weekend trips into the city.Also,workers in the cities no longer needed to live in inner-city housing in order to keep their jobs at nearby factories.Those who made enough money moved out of the cities and into the suburbs.Nowthat each family had its own car,going to work from the suburbs became a common practice.Cars not only changed the way people lived,but also changed the way they thought.Traditionally,because young people spent most of their time outside school in and around the home,the strongest role models for teenagers were their parents.However,once they had access to their own cars,teens began spending more time out with friends. Therefore,they became less likely to follow the behavior of their parents and more likely to follow their friends'. One thing producers paid little attention to,however,was safety.It wasn't until the mid-1960s that consumers began to demand that all car companies include at least a few common safety features in new cars.These new standards eventually led to safety features such as seat belts,air bags,anti-lock brakes,and automatic door locks.21.Why cars didn't sell as well in Europe as in the UnitedStates?A.Because people weren't interested in cars.B.Because fewer factories were able to make cars.C.Because people couldn't afford cars.D.Because fewer people lived on farms.22.According to the passage,what was the greatest benefit of cars to American life?A.They provided people with more freedom to travel.B.They encouraged people to drive cars to and from work.C.They led to the development of drive-in movies and drive-through restaurants.D.They allowed teenagers to spend more time with their friends.23.The main point of Paragraph4is that cars________.A.caused families to grow closerB.changed the thoughts of teenagersC.changed the lives of adultsD.made everyday life easy and fun24.What caused the change of the car safety features?A.Many car accidents during1960s.B.The regulations by the government.C.The standards by the car company.D.Customers who would purchase cars.25.What's the main theme of the passage?A.The US has most of the cars in the world.B.China will soon surpass the US in the car market.C.Americans'lives have changed a lot with the car industry.D.Europeans were living in poverty after World War II.。
