When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.What would happen if you were the only person left who spoke your language? This is the example to explain the (36)situation{B/1} of many people around the world whose local languages are (37)disappering{B/1}. This happens when an (38)official{B/1} language is used more often and children stop learning the local language of their parents. This is not a new(39)process{B/1}. Throughout history, the language spoken by a powerful group spreads across a(40)civilization{B/1}. Smaller cultures lose their local language as the language of the culture in power becomes the stronger (41)influence{B/1}. The Internet could be thought of as a new method of language (42)control{B/1}. The United Nations cultural organization, UNRSCO, says that 90% of the world's languages are not (43)represented{B/1} on the Internet.Experts say protecting languages is very important for many reasons. Languages contain the histories, ideas and knowledge of a culture. (44)Languages also contain valuable information about local medicines, environmental systems and species of plants and animala are unknown to scientists{B/1}. Language is in many ways, a window to the mind. (45)_What these language contain are all kinds of ways that we structure the world_{B/1}. Language is a way of storing the history of a people. Languages reflect a different historical contact with other groups, and, forpeople who have no written history, language can be one of the ways (46) that history can be gotten at just by looking carefully at the different layers in the language{B/1}.。

When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea: When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 26 to 33 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 34 to 36 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words' you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Downing Street is the most exclusive street in Britain, not because it only has three houses along its short 26 , nor particularly because of its location between Whitehall and St. James's Park, but because its only residents are 27 from the elected Government.Numbers 10 and 11 Downing Street arc the 28 London residences of the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer—the First and Second Lords of the Treasury. Numbers 9 and 12 are the offices of their key 29 and colleagues in Government.The location has been 30 for centuries, of course, as even before modern government the 31 was close to Westminster Abbey and later Whitehall Palace.But it was Sir George Downing who made the most of its 32 and built the street of houses that bears his name.In his later 33 as a property speculator and developer, Downing sought—and won—the permission of King Charles II to name his prestigious new development at St. James's Park "Downing Street".34 , when King George II offered Number 10 as a gift to Sir Robert Walpole.Walpole is now recognized as Britain's first Prime Minister, 35 He declined the gift, but agreed that it become the official residence for the First Lord and subsequently moved in.36 —the modern Chancellor of the Exchequer.答案:Listenting ComprehensionSection A1、C[解析]W: When does the express train leave?

It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. Oh the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he will lose his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are strict in coming home at night or for meals on time.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that "example is better than principles". If they are not honest and do not practice what they advise, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been fooled.16. What is the possible consequence if a child has no learning opportunities?17、A[解析]Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?18、C[解析]What behavior of parents may result in their children's feeling of being fooled when they grow up?19、A[解析] 19-21There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with some other. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all part of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan, and even among the Arctic peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.19. Why are boys' toys different from those of girls?20、B[解析]Which of the following reflects the speaker's view on the historical development of toys?21、C[解析]What determines the variations in toys of different regions in the world?22、B[解析] 22-25A man was out hunting. He just happened to be hunting bears. As he made his way through the forest looking for the beasts, he came upon a large and steep hill. Thinking that perhaps there would be bear on the other side of the hill, he climbed up the steep cliff and, just as he was pulling himself up over the last high rock, a huge bear met him nose to nose.The bear roared fiercely. The man was so scared that he lost his balance and fell down the hill with the bear not far behind. As he tumbled down the hill, the man lost his gun. When he finally stopped at the bottom, he found that he had broken a leg. Escape was impossible and so the man, who had never been particularly religious (in fact this just happened to be a Sunday morning), prayed, "God, if you will make this bear a Christian, I will be happy with whatever lot you give me for the rest of my life."The bear was no more than three feet away from the man when it stopped dead in its tracks. The man looked up to the heaven, and then fell to his knees and prayed in a loud voice, "Oh Lord, bless this food of which I am about to take."22. What kind of animal did the man want to hunt?23、D[解析]What happened to the man when he met a huge bear nose to nose?24、A[解析]Why was it impossible for the man to escape from the bear?25、C[解析]How would the man deal with the bear after the bear stopped dead?Section C26、length[解析] 26-36Downing Street is the most exclusive street in Britain, not because it only has three houses along its short (26) length, nor particularly because of its location between Whitehall and St. James's Park, but because its only residents are (27) chosen from the elected Government.Numbers 10 and 11 Downing Street are the (28) official London residences of the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer—the First and Second Lords of the Treasury.

When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.What would happen if you were the only person left who spoke your language? This is the example to explain the (36)situation{B/1} of many people around the world whose local languages are (37)disappering{B/1}. This happens when an (38)official{B/1} language is used more often and children stop learning the local language of their parents. This is not a new(39)process{B/1}. Throughout history, the language spoken by a powerful group spreads across a(40)civilization{B/1}. Smaller cultures lose their local language as the language of the culture in power becomes the stronger (41)influence{B/1}. The Internet could be thought of as a new method of language (42)control{B/1}. The United Nations cultural organization, UNRSCO, says that 90% of the world's languages are not (43)represented{B/1} on the Internet.Experts say protecting languages is very important for many reasons. Languages contain the histories, ideas and knowledge of a culture. (44)Languages also contain valuable information about local medicines, environmental systems and species of plants and animala are unknown to scientists{B/1}. Language is in many ways, a window to the mind. (45)_What these language contain are all kinds of ways that we structure the world_{B/1}. Language is a way of storing the history of a people. Languages reflect a different historical contact with other groups, and, forpeople who have no written history, language can be one of the ways (46) that history can be gotten at just by looking carefully at the different layers in the language{B/1}.。
