In 10,000 B.C., there were probably 10 million people. In A.D. 1, there were 300 million. It took 1750 years for the population to reach 625 million, a little more than double the A.D. 1 figure. In 1990, there were 5.3 billion people. By the year 2000, the world's population was over 6 billion, and by 2050, it is expected to reach 10 billion. Does the earth have enough natural resources to support this many people? Different scientists give different answers to this question. Some say that there are enough resources to support more than 6 billion people. However, the richest countries, with a small percentage of the world's population, use most of the resources. If these resources could be distributed more equally around the world, there would be enough for everyone. Other scientists say that we must limit population growth because our resources are limited. Only 10 percent of the earth's land can be used for farming and another 20 percent for raising animals. It is possible to increase the amount of farmland, but only a little. Some land in developing countries could be more productive if people started using modern farming methods, but this would not increase worldwide production by much, We all know that there is a limited amount of petroleum. There are also limits to the amounts of metals. There is a limit to the amount of water we can use since most of the earth's water is salt water, and most of the fresh water is frozen at the North and South Poles. It is difficult to say how manypeople the earth can support, but it will help everyone if we can limit population growth before serious shortages develop. The problem is how to do it.1. Between 1990 and 2000, what changes did the world population have?2. According to some scientists, which of the following is true?3. Why can't most of the earth's water be used?4. In developing countries, what does the use of medern farming methods result in?5. According to the author, what can you infer from the passage?II 1.There were probably 10 million people.2.It is expected to be 10 billion.3.If the resources could be distributed more equally around the world, there would be enoueh for everyone.4.Only 10 percent.5. It is how to limit population growth.Passage II:Fresh water, life itself, has never come easy in the Middle East. Ever since the Old Testament when God punished man with 40 days and 40 nights of rain, water supplies here have been dwindling. The rainfall only comes in winter and drains quickly through the semiarid land, leaving the soil to bake and to thirst for next November. The region's accelerating population growth, expanding agriculture, industrialization, and higher living standards demand more fresh water. Drought and pollution limit its availability. War and mismanagement squander it. Nations like Israel and Jordan are swiftly sliding into that zone where they are using all the water resources available to them. They have only 15 to 20 years left before their agriculture, and ultimately their food security, is threatened. Even amid the scarcity there are haves and have-nots. Compared with the United States, which has a freshwater potential of 10,000 cubic meters a year for each citizen. Iraq has 5,500. Turkey has 4,000, and Syria has little more than 2,800. Egypt's potential is only 1,100. Israel has 460, and Jordan has less than 260. But these are not firm figures, because upstream use of river water can dramatically alter the potential downstream. Scarcity is only one element of the Middle East’s water crisis. Inefficiency is another, as is the reluctance of some water-poor nations to change priorities from agriculture to less water-intensive enterprises. Some experts suggest that if these nations would share both water technology and resources, they could satisfy the region's population, currently 159 million. But in this patchwork of ethnic and religious rivalries, the water crisis is not a clear-cut issue. It is entangled in the politics that keep people from trusting and seeking help from one another. Here, where water, like truth, is precious, each nation tends to find its own water and supply its own truth.1. When does the rainfall come in the Middle East?2. What is the cause of the water crisis?3. How many years are left for Israel and Jordan before their agriculture is threatened?4. What is the current population in the Middle East according to the passage?5. According to some experts' suggestion, what should the nations do in order to avoid a water crisis ?II 1) 10,000 2) 5,500 4) More than 2,8003) 4,000 5) Egypt 6) 460 7) Less than 260 Lesson Two Crime and PunishmentPart A1.M: Hello?W: Hello. This is Dr. Grey's office. We are calling to remind you of your 4:15 appointment for your annual checkup tomorrow.M: Oh, thanks. It's a good thing you called. I thought it was 4:15 today.Q: Why is the office calling the man?2. W: How wonderful! You won the scholarship. Can you believe it?M: No. It's almost too good to be true.Q: What does the man mean?3. W: Excuse me, Professor Davidson. But I was hoping to talk to you about my class project for economics.M: I have a class in a few minutes. Why don't you come and see me during office hours tomorrow?Q: When will the woman discuss her project with Professor Davidson?4. M: How are you feeling? W: The stuff the nurse gave me seemed to have helped. But it's making me awfully drowsy.Q: What do you learn about the woman?5. M: Bill Smith has volunteered to write a summary of the proposals we've agreed on. W: Will I have a chance to review it?Q: What does the woman want to know?6.M: The view is spectacular. Could you take a picture of me with the mountains in the background?W: I'm afraid I just ran out of film.Q: What problem does the woman have?7. W: Excuse me, we're ready to order now.M: I'll be with you in just a minute.Q: What does the man mean?8. W: I think I forgot my umbrella. Did you notice if it is raining outside?M: Yeah, it is. And I just realized I left my car window open.Q: What will the man probably do next?9. W: How does your daughter like her new school?M: Fine. She seems to have made new friends in no time.Q: What can be inferred about the man's daughter?10. W: There's an article here in this magazine you might find interesting. It's aboutbuying running shoes.M: If it's not chemistry and it's not on the final exam, I can't read it now.Q: What is the man probably doing?11. M: You're washing your car even on vacation. It makes me feel guilty.W: You shouldn’t, it’s just that I have nothing better to do at this moment.Q: What do you think of the woman?12. M: My doctor told me I need to go for some expensive treatments for my injured knee.W: Are you sure? Maybe you need a second opinion.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?13. W: Hello. Could you fit me in for an appointment today? I need a stylist who is good at cutting curly hair.M: Julia is good at that. She is the owner. How about noon?Q: What will the woman probably do?14. W: There's nothing I like more than a good mystery novel when I've got some spare time.M: I like to read, too. But I prefer non-fiction, history, social commentary and stuff like that.Q: What does the man imply?15. M: I'm not an expert, but that noise in your refrigerator doesn't sound good. Maybe you should call and have it checked out.W: You're right. And I suppose I've put it off long enough.Q: What will the woman probably do?Part BPassage IPurse snatching is an increasingly common crime. There are estimated 50 to 100 purse snatchings each month in the New York City subways, the number often swinging widely because of the depredations of a single teenager. When such a professional is in custody, the snatches can decrease by more than 50 a month. One of the favored techniques is to stand between two subway cars and, as a train starts pulling out of the station, reach out and pull free a woman's purse.Recently, a crime analysis officer for the New York Police Department found that purse stealing in Manhattan's top restaurants was up 35 percent over the previous year. When a woman puts her purse on an empty chair at a table or at her feet beside her chair, she is inviting a purse snatcher to take it. Purse snatchers often work in pairs. When a target in a restaurant is seen, one of them will create some kind of disturbance to gain the victim's attention. While the woman is looking away from her table, the actual snatcher will lift the purse. A popular technique is for the thief to carry an umbrella with the curved handle down. The umbrella handle suddenly hooks the bag and in an instant it is on the thief's wrist, or under the coat over his arm if he is a man,and on its way out of the restaurant. Police advise that women in restaurants keep their purse either on their laps or on the floor between their legs.Other purse snatchers who operate in theaters are called "seat tippers", victimizing women who put their purses down on a neighboring empty seat. Others specialize in snatching purses from ladies' rooms. When a woman is in a toilet stall, her purse should never be placed on the floor or hung on the coat hook on the door. Thieves simply dive under the door and grab the purse on the floor, or stand on the toilet in the next stall and reach over and take the purse off the hook. The snatcher has enough time to escape since the victim can't immediately pursue the thief.I. 1. When does the number of purse snatchings decrease most dramatically?2. Where does a purse snatcher like to commit crimes in subway stations?3. When women are in restaurants, where are they advised to put their purses?4. What does a thief often use to snatch purses in restaurants?5. According to this passage, where does purse snatching not usually occur?II. crime analysis officer; take it; purses; in pairs; top restaurants; an empty chair; to some kind of disturbance; coat hook; snatching never be placed; in the next stall; enough time to escapePassage IIOn the afternoon of July4,1995, Mrs.Beatrice Weinberger brought her one-month old baby back from an outing. She left the pram outside her house and hurried inside to get the baby a clean nappy. When she returned a few moments later, the pram was empty and a scrawled note was lying where her baby had been. The note said: "Attention. I badly need money, and can't get it any other way. Don't tell the police about this, otherwise I will kill the baby." "Just put $2,000 in small bills in a brown envelope, and place it next to the road lamp at the corner of Albamarle Rd. at exactly 10 o'clock tomorrow (Thursday) morning." "If everything goes smooth, I will bring the baby back and leave him on the same corner 'safe and happy' at exactly 12 noon. No excuse, I can not wait! Your baby-sitter." Despite the kidnapper's warning, Mrs. Weinbarger contacted the police. A small parcel containing broken pieces of newspaper was placed on the comer the following morning. But the kidnapper did not show up. He failed to keep two other” appointments" with the Weinbergers, and left a second note signed "Your baby-sitter'. By then, the police felt that the baby was no longer alive. The FBI was called in, and the handwriting experts set to work to try to track down the kidnapper. In both notes an unusual z-shaped stroke was placed at the front of the y in words such as "money" and "baby". Starting with the New York State Police Office, the experts spent the next six weeks carefully going over local records at police offices, factories, hotels, clubs and schools and examining handwriting samples and comparing them with the writing on the kidnapper's notes. Then, in the middle of August, the experts' hard efforts paid off. The handwriting of John Rush Blake matched that of the kidnapper's, especially in the peculiar formation of the y's. Not long after, John Blake was arrested for making illegal alcohol. On being shown the handwriting samples, he confessed to kidnapping the baby. He told the police thathe had left the baby alive and well in a nearby park on the day after the kidnapping. But when officers hurried to the place, all they found was the baby's dead body. The criminal was later put into New York's Sing Sing Prison. Even if John Blake had tried to disguise his handwriting he would still have been caught. No matter how hard someone may try to disguise his handwriting characteristics, the "individuality" of the writer shows through, the very angle at which he or she holds a pen, the way a t is crossed and an i is dotted, the height and size of capital and small letters, the amount of space between words, the use (or misuse) of punctuation marks. All these can identify a person as surely as fingerprints.I. 1. What happened to Mrs. Weinberger on the afternoon of July 4th, 1995?2. According to the message left by the kidnapper, on what condition could Mrs. Weinberger have her baby back?3. What did Mrs. Weinberger do after reading the note?4. How did the FBI catch the criminal?5. Which of the following words can best describe people's handwriting characteristics?II. 1. ( T ) When Mrs. Weinberger came back from an outing something terrible happened to her.2. ( T ) Someone kidnapped her baby because he lacked money.3. ( F ) The kidnapper did not confess to die kidnapping of the baby in the face of the handwriting sample.4. ( T ) It was the handwriting expert that broke the case.5. ( F ) At last, the police found the baby and he was safe and happy.Passage III.Timothy McVaigh placed a powerful bomb near a federal government building in Oklahoma City in 1995. The explosion killed 168 people, including 19 children. Arguments are increasing in the United States both for and against the death penalty. The increasing death penalty debate is caused by the planned execution of convicted murderer McVeigh. He is to be the first person executed by the federal government since 1963. 38 states permit the death sentence. Last year 85 people were executed in the United States. Recent public opinion studies show that more than 75 percent of Americans supper McVeigh's execution. These include many Americans who usually oppose the death sentence. Kent Scheidegger is with the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation in Califomia. It is a victim's rights organization that supports the death penalty. Mr. Scheidegger says McVeigh is a perfect example of why there is a need for a federal death penalty. He says anything less than the death of McVeigh would show a complete lack of justice. Groups opposed to the death penalty say the approval of the execution of McVeigh does not show an increase in general public support for the death penalty. Opinion studies show that support for the death penalty has decreased. Studies show 77 percent of Americans supported it five years ago, now only about 63 percent do, Opponents of the death penalty have always argued that it was unfair. They say poor people who can not pay for good legal help receive thedeath penalty more often than others. And they say courts order the death penalty more often when the accused is a member of a racial minority group. Lesson Three Computers and the Internet Part A1.M: This report is due tomorrow.

Go talk to anyone who has gone to an advanced course, like Organic Chemistry, or who studied chemistry in graduate school. They're really glad they started out with Professor Martin.Q: What does the man imply about Professor Martin?12. W: Hey, Mark. Have you been able to sell your old piano, yet?M: Hmm, you were right. Just posting notices on bulletin boards at a couple of supermarkets wasn't enough. I think I'll have to place an advertisement in the local newspaper.Q: Which of the following is true according to the conversation?13. W: I'm amazed that you still haven't gotten to know your neighbors.M: They tend to keep to themselves.Q: Why hasn't the man gotten to know his neighbors?14. W: Hi! Um, I think something is wrong with the washing machine. It works, and I just did my laundry, but it makes some strange noises. Maybe you should call someone to fix it.M: Oh, don't worry. Someone from the repair shop is already on the way over to take a look at it.Q: What is the implication of the man?15. W: It's so thoughtful of you to offer to drop me off at the train station. Are you sure it's not out of your way?M: Not at all. The station is really close to where I'm going.Q: What can be learned about the man?Part BPassage IThe Application of Computers in Education The best method for improving educational standards is to utilize every tool available, including state-of-the-art technology. Computers and the internet have expanded the way in which information can be delivered to the students of today. Today's networking technologies provide a valuable opportunity to practise new learning techniques. Educators are discovering that computers are facilitating learning. Computer-based communications, or telecommunications, can offer many educational opportunities; therefore, educators will need to adapt current teaching methods to incorporate this new media into the classroom. Computers have made a fundamental impact on most industries, providing a competitive advantage that has come to be essential to many businesses. Therefore, schools must also use technology to improve the educational process. School systems often consider purchasing a computer network, and justify its purchase by applying itto routine administrative tasks, such as attendance records and grading. While these tasks are very important, they only show a small part of what technology can do for a school. Technology must go further than simply keeping attendance; it must focus on keeping students interested and productive. Since computers and the Internet have expanded the ways in which education can be delivered to students, it is currently possible to engage in "distance education" through the Internet. Distance education involves audio and video links between teachers and students in remote areas. Video conferencing allows groups to communicate with each other. Desktop video conferencing promises to bring students together from geographic and cultural distances face to face via computer. Not only will the teacher talk to the students, but the students will be able to interact with each other. This will make students more interested in learning.I. 1. According to the passage, what are educators discovering?2. What do schools usually purchase computer networks for?3. According to the author, what should computers be mainly used for?4. Which of the following is NOT a feature of video conferencing?5. Which of the following is true according to the passage?II. fundamental impact; be essential; improve the educational process; justify its purchase; attendance records; what technology can doPassage IIE-Commerce The Internet, as a means for commerce, did not become reality until the 1990s. Before this time, it was mainly a tool for the army, and a research device for some American universities. Its popularity grew when it proved to be a fast and efficient means to conduct long distance transactions, as well as an effective way to distribute information. The first advantage that e-commerce possesses is speed. With increased speeds of communication, the delivery time is expedited and that makes the whole transaction from start to finish more efficient. Also, you can find practically any product available for sale on the Internet. Even more significant is the fact that information appearing on the Internet can be changed rapidly. This gives business owners the ability to inform customers of any changes to the service that they are offering. The second advantage of electronic commerce is the opportunity it offers to save on costs. By using the Internet, marketing, distribution, personnel, phone, postage and printing costs, among many others, can be reduced. You can start doing business in cyberspace for as little as $100. The savings, therefore, are tremendous. These funds can then be diverted to marketing and advertising your product or service. Cyberspace knows no national boundaries. That means you can do business all over the world as easily as you can in your own neighborhood. Since the Internet connects everyone in cyberspace, information is transmitted at the speed of sound or the speed of light, depending on your connection. Either way, distance becomes meaningless, which enables you to link to nearly anyone on the globe, and anyone on the globe can link to you. The ability to establish links makes doing business on the Internet attractive to customers in any part of the world. A potentialsource of trouble is customer concerns with privacy and security. Anything sent over the Internet is sent through several different computers before it reaches its final destination. The concern regarding Internet security and privacy is that unscrupulous hackers can capture credit card or check account data as it is transferred or break into computers that hold the same information. Making a customer feel safe is important when doing business on the Internet. Even though no one can guarantee 100% security when transferring financial information over the Internet, e-commerce is still safer than using credit cards at an actual store or restaurant, or paying for something with the use of a 1-800 number."I. l. Before being used for commerce, what was the Internet mainly used for?2. Which one of the following is NOT a factor that can make transactions more efficient on the Internet?3. Why does distance become meaningless in e-commerce?4. What do customers worry about in e-commerce?5. What is the main idea of this passage?II. source; privacy; security; destination; credit card; transferred; feel safe; guarantee; safer than; paying forPassage IIIComputerized SystemsIt was pointed out by a computer wag that a computerized system consists of three subsystems: hardware, software, and jellyware. Hardware is the computer itself -- the collection of slightly impure chunks of silicon dioxide and other metal oxides that sometimes conduct electricity and sometimes don't, but never conduct it very well. Basically, hardware is mostly sand with some metal and some organic plastic material to hold it together. Software consists of the instructions necessary in order for the hardware to do things. The instructions are nothing more than signals indicating that certain pieces of hardware are to turn themselves on or off in specific sequences at specific times in specific areas of the hardware. The basic instructions are written or given in binary terms -- on or off-- and other software elements translate this to and from the more complex language used by the next element in the system. Jellyware is the human being who tells the hardware what to do, who gives the hardware its data, who utilizes the output of the hardware, who writes the software, and who uses the output of the software. Jellyware itself is a computer consisting of hardware and software. Jellyware is mostly water with specific and small amounts of impurities in certain locations. The jellyware's software is mostly preprogrammed with some RAM that is inputted as a result of experience. Hardware and jellyware differ only in the fact that hardware is made up of crystalline structures while jellyware consists of colloidal structures. The jellyware's operating systems appear to function in the parallel mode while those of the hardware operate in a series mode. However, the output of jellyware is one-channel sequential and series in form. Like hardware, jellyware can do only one thing at a time.。

Task 3Listening: You will bear some people talking about the meanings of the above gestures in different places in the world. Listen to the recording and fill in the table below with what you bear.Number 1Woman: You know, a “nod” moving your head up and down-means “yes” in most laces, but not everywhere. Did you know that in Greece a nod means “no”?Man:It means “no” in Greece? I’m surprised.Number2Man:I didn’t know “raised eyebrows”means “yes”in Tonga. It means something very different in Peru.Woman: Year? What does it mean there?Man:Money. Raised eyebrows are a gesture for money in Peru.Woman: Hmm.Number 3Woman: Urn, Alberto, you said that tapping your head means “I’m thinking” in Argentina. Man: That’s right.Woman: You’d better be careful about using that gesture here in Canada. It means someone is crazy.Man: Oh, it means “crazy” in Canada? I didn’t know that. I’ll be careful.Number 4Man: You know, it’s interesting that in the Netherlands, tapping your elbow means you can’t depend on someone. In Colombia, they use the same gesture, but it has different meaning. Woman: What does it mean in Colombia?Man: Well, it means someone is cheap. The person doesn’t like to spend money.Woman: Oh.Number 5Woman: Here’s an interesting one. You know how “circling your head”means that a person’s crazy?Man: year.Woman: Guess what it means in the Netherlands.Man: The Netherlands? I have no idea.Woman: It means someone is calling on the telephone. You know, like dialing a phone.Man: That’s interesting.Number 6Man: So flicking your chin means “go away” in Italy, right?Woman: Yes.Man; Guess what it means in Brazil.Woman: In Brazil? I don’t know.Man: That’s right.Woman: Huh?Man: In Brazil, flicking your chin means “I don’t know.”Woman: “I don’t know” is the meaning?Man: Right.Number 7Woman: Well, everything is “thumbs up” for my trip to Nigeria. I’ve never been to Africa before. I’m really looking forward to it.Man: Ah, you’d better be careful with that expression in Nigeria.Woman: Huh?Man: Thumbs up. In Nigeria, it means…um…well, it has a very bad meaning. Don’t use that gesture. It will get you into a lot of trouble.Woman: Oh, thanks for telling me.Number 8Man: You said tossing your head means “come here” for Germans?Woman: That’s right. But there are some other meanings. In India, it means “yes.” But it has the opposite meaning in Italy. In Italy it means “no”.Man: Hmm, “yes” in India, “no” in Italy. Isn’t it interesting how the same thing can have such different meaning?Woman: It sure is.Task 5Listening: You will hear some people meeting each other for the first time. They use some strategies to make a good first impression. Listen to the recording and complete the table below with what you hear.Number 1(Sounds of office)Ann: You’re new here, aren’t you?Sue: Yes, I just started this week.Ann: I’m Ann Rogers.Sue: I’m Sue Kelly.Ann: It’s nice to meet you, Sue.Sue: Nice to meet you, too.Ann: I was just going for my coffee break. Would you like to join me, Sue? (pause) Commentator: Ann’s strategy? Remembering names. She tries to remember the names of people she meets. Notice that she said, “It’s nice to meet you, Sue.” And “Would you like to join me, Sue?” The strategy: Try to remember people’s names by using them.Number 2(Sounds of jazz)Woman: Nice music, isn’t it?Man: Yes. I really like jazz.Woman: So do I. Especially Winton Marsalis and Miles Davis.Man: I like them too. (Pause)Commentator: This strategy is to add extra information. The woman didn’t just say, “I like jazz, too.” She said the names of two musicians she likes. It’s really different to have a conversation with someone who just says “yes”or “no”or gives very short answers. Try to give extra information, especially when you’re asked a question. Don’t just say “yes” or “no.”Number 3(Sounds of classroom)Tony: Have you ever taken a class with this teacher before?Jan; No, I haven’t. But I’ve heard she’s good.Tony: I had her for a course last year. She’s really good.Jan: I’m glad to hear that. I’m Tony. (Pause)Commentator: The key here is to start a conversation by finding something you and the other people have in common-something that’s the same, or that affects both of you. Here, the speakers are at school. They start by talking about the class and the teacher. At a party, you might mention the food or the music. What about other time? Anything that you and the speaker have in common-even the weather. You both already know it’s cold or hot or rainy. But people talk about the weather because it’s something they have in common. The strategy is to find something that is the same for you and the person you’re talking to.Number 4Man: Well, I’m a little shy. Of course I like meeting people, but it’s kind of difficult. So before I meet someone, I sometimes think about what I want to say. I’ll think of something about school or work. It depends where I am. Anyway, I usually do that before I say my name. So I guess planning what I want to say is important for me. I don’t practice or memorize it or anything…I just think about it. (Pause)Commentator: His strategy is to think about what he wants say. By thinking about the topics, he knows what he wants to say-or at least what he wants to talk about. That makes it easier.Task 7Listening: You will hear someone talking about how to remember different thing. There seem to be some very effective methods we can all use. Listen to the recording and take notes of what you hear to fill in the table below.We all have problems remembering things, but there are techniques that you can use to help you remember. Let’s take the activities that you have just done.First of all, remembering the names and jobs of the people and where they comes from. Here, the best thing is to imagine images of the people and the names that you want to remember. For example, we have Tom the student from Australia. Well, for Tom you might imagine a tomato. Then Australia has a shape a bit like a dog. Now let’s imagine it’s a very clever dog and the dog is reading a book. So now we have a picture of Tom the student from Australia.Now let’s take the numbers. The best thing to do here is to break the larger number up into smaller numbers and then think of things that the numbers remind you of, such as a birthday, a particular year, the number of a house. Or with a number like 747 you might think of a jumbo jet-a Boeing 747.With the directions the best thing is to imagine you following the directions. Create a picture in your mind of yourself going down the street. Count the turnings 1,2. Then turn left. Now imagine going past a supermarket and a cinema and so on.When you have to remember lists of words try to build them into a story. So with our words we might start with, “The sun was shining, so I went for a walk. I saw a horse wearing trousers. It was kicking some bananas over a television. The bananas landed in a bag, and so on. Again the funnier the story the better.”Try some of these techniques and you’ll be amazed at what you can remember.Task 8Listening: You will hear an interview with a professor about world languages. Complete the notes below with what you hear. Write no more than five words in each blank.(I=Interviewer; KT=Kim Thomas)I: …so, if we could turn to the origin of language? Um, do we know when, where and how language originated?KT: Ah, that’s a difficult question to answer; or rather the answer is no one really knows. What we do know is when language was first written down.I: Ah hah, and that was…KT: That was about five and a half thousand years ago, in about 3,500 BC. The Sumerians, who lived in Mesopotamia, were the first people to write down their language. They used symbols called pictographs to represent everyday objects—a bit like Egyptian hieroglyphics—and the first actual alphabet was developed around 3,500 years ago by the Phoenicians, who lived on the eastern coast of what is now Syria. Today there are around 65 alphabets in the world. Interestingly, the shortest of them, the one used in the Solomon Islands, has only 11 letters.I: Hah, hah. And the longest?KT: Er, the Cambodian, I think. I believe it’s got 74 letters.I: So, how many languages are there in the world today?KT: Some where in the region of 4,000. I don’t think we’ll ever find out the exact figure.I: Um, and which of these are the most spoken?KT: Well, Mandarin Chinese has about a billion speakers. English is next with about half a billion speakers and Hindi, Spanish and Russian are not too far behind. These five languages account for half of all the conversations in the world!I: Hah, hah, hah. And is it true that Mandarin is the biggest language? I mean the one with the most number of words.KT: Again, it’s difficult to say, but the latest thinking is that English is actually the biggest, largely due to the number of technical and scientific words it contains. There are at least a million words in English. Most native speakers only use about 10,000 words, that’s one per cent of them.I: Hah. Only 10,000.KT: Yeah, and can you guess which are the most common of these? The most used words in English.I: Huh. Let me think. Um, maybe ”be”?KT: Well, according to recent research, where tens of thousands of hours of conversation have been fed into computers and analyzed, the most common word is “the”.I: Oh, and “be”?KT: Well, “be”, we think, is the most used verb in English. But of course there are different forms. Er, what do you think the most common noun in spoken English is?I: Mm, the most common noun? Erm maybe something like…er, oh, I’ve no idea. You’re going to have to tell us.KT: Hah, hah, hah. Well, you just said it, actually. Apparently it’s “thing”.I: Mm. Hah…OK…hah. What about the origins of words? Where does English come from?KT: Well, modern English, which 500 years old, is mixture of mainly Romance and Germanic languages. Greek and Arabic have also provided English with many words. Er, did you know “sugar”come from Arabic? And, from other languages. From example, did you know that “coffee” comes from Turkish and that “chess”, the game, is Persian word?I: Oh, no.KT: Where do you think “ketchup” as in tomato ketchup, comes from?I: Er, I’ve never really thought about it. I’ve no idea. Hah,hah,hah. America?KT: Hah,hah,hah. It’s from the Malay language. A traditional Malaysian sauce I believe.I: Ah.KT: How about “shampoo”?I: Mmm, it sounds a bit oriental to me. Maybe Japanese?KT: It’s actually a Hindi word, from India. The list is endless.I: Er, you mentioned India just then. Isn’t that a country with hundreds of languages?KT: Well, I don’t know about hundreds. I think Papua New Guinea has got the most with over eight hundred and fifty separate languages, but India has got dozens of languages. The bank notes there have got thirteen languages written on them. I suppose they’re the main languages. Um, most people there speak at least two or three languages.I: Um, talking of which…and one final question. To speak tow languages fluently is difficult enough, but have you any idea what the highest number of languages spoken by one person is? KT: There is, or was, a Frenchman, I, er, can’t remember his name, but he spoke 31 different languages. All of them fluently!I: Oh. On that note, Professor Thomas, we’ll say thank you very much and, er, au revoir, auf Wiedersehen, arrivaderci, or ,sayonara, adios.Task 10Listening: you will hear someone talking about some language problems you may encounter while in the United States. Listen to the recording and take notes of these problem.Speaking a foreign language in a classroom is one thing, but living in society where you have to use this language on a daily basis is completely different. So here are some language problems you may encounter while in the United States.--You might not understand the local accent right away. Regional accents vary greatly. In a group of people from all over the U.S., Americans can usually pick out who is from Boston, New York, the Midwest, or the South, just by the way they speak. Give yourself some time to get usedto the local accent, and in time, you will probably find yourself speaking in the same way.--Americans might not understand you right away. You will also have your own accent and you might use a different vocabulary. Try to speak slowly at first to make sure you are understood. Don’t be shy. Ask others to speak slowly if you have trouble understanding them.--Americans use a lot of slang in their speech. Their language is very colorful and full of imagery and it might take some time to completely understand it.--Humor is also an important part of American English. Some international students have a little trouble adaption to this informal style of conversation, and they also have trouble understanding whether the person they are speaking with is being serious or not. This, however should be interpreted as sign of friendliness rather than a show of disrespect.--You might not know all the abbreviations and technical terms used in your study program or workplace. Term such as “poli sci” for political science, “forms” for dormitories, or “TA” for teaching assistant, are just a few examples of campus slang you will encounter. The abbreviation is often the first syllable of the word or, if two or more words are together, their initials. If you don’t understand a word or an abbreviation, simply ask the meaning.You should give yourself time to adapt to the language and don’t hesitate to ask people to repeat what they have said, to speak slowly, or to explain what they mean. It would be wise to carry a dictionary with you in case of an emergency. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to make mistakes. This will all be part of your learning experience.Task 2Listening: You will hear a psychologist analyzing the answers to the questionnaire. Listen to the recording and fill in the chart below with what you hear.How honest are you? This is what our psychologist says about the answers.Question1: What would you do if you found some money? Give yourself two points for b and one point for c.Question 2: If somebody tried to sell you a stolen video recorder, would you but it? Give yourself two points for c and one point for a.Question 3: If your friend tried to steal something from a shop, what would you do? Two points for c and one for b.Question 4: If you couldn’t afford your car insurance, what would you do? Give yourself two points for a and one point for c: I shouldn’t drive it except in an emergency.Question 5: If a shop assistant gave you too much change, what would you do? Two points for c and one for b.How did you score? Seven to nine points shows very honest person. Four to six points is OK—you are about average. Less than four points—well, you’re not very honest, are you? And if you scored ten points—you must be joking. You obviously didn’t answer this quiz honestly!Seriously, though, for most people a lot would depend on the circumstances. For example, a lot of people would keep money that they found in the street if it wasn’t very much. But if they found a lot of money in a wallet, they would take it to the police stationAnd some people would buy stolen goods if they came from a shop or factory, but they wouldn’t buy them if they knew they were stolen from someone’s house..Task 4Listening: You will hear a conversation between two speakers. One of the speakers will tell us a story of a highway robbery. Listen to the recording and decide whether the following statementsare true() or false(). Mark each corresponding box.Emma: Chris! How was the holiday?Chris: Don’t ask.Emma: Why? What happened? Wasn’t it “the holiday of a lifetime”?Chris: It was absolutely fantastic. We went everywhere—Disney world, the Epcot center, the Kennedy Space Center. The kids had a great time ,Amanda had a great time, and for once so did I…until the last day, anyway.Emma: Why, what happened?Chris: We got robbed! Would you believe we were robbed by highway robbers. Highway robbers in the 21st century! And they were very polite—it was like a game to them.Emma: Highway robbers?Chris: Yes, it was really bad luck. We’d been really careful during the holiday, and we never really felt at all uncomfortable. Everywhere we went people were very polite, and friendly, and helpful. We just relaxed and enjoyed the holiday.Emma: And?Chris: Well, it all happened on the way home. We were driving to the airport—I’d finally got used to driving on the wrong side of the road—when suddenly a big old car bumped into the back of us. It happened so fast—the kids were thrown back into their seats and Amanda screamed. I didn’t really know what was happening. Anyway, before I had time to do anything, he bumped me again.I was pretty angry, I can tell you. I stopped the car and so did he. I wasn’t really thinking, I just got out of the car and started calling him an idiot. That’s when I saw four big guys getting out, and one of them had a baseball bat.Emma: Ouch!Chris: Exactly. I thought “it looks like I’ll be needing the medical insurance after all”, but no. The guy with the bat just said “Now stay cool and you won’t get hurt. We’ll empty the trunk and be on our way”; It took me a second to realize he meant the “boot” and that he was going to rob us. Emma: You’re joking.Chris: I wish I was. Anyway, they told Amanda and the kids to stay in the car, not that they were going to get out, and told me to open the boot. They took everything out of it—the luggage, of course, our coats, even the spare type. They didn’t take our souvenirs and things—they were in the back with the kids. And then they put everything into their car and drove off.Emma: So Amanda and the kids were OK?Chris: Oh yes. We were all fine—a bit shaken up but fine. It didn’t take long for the polite to arrive. They looked after us, got us to the airport on time and so on, but it was a terrible way to end the holiday.Task 6Listening: You will hear three people talking about crime and safety where they live. What does each of them do? What does each of them avoid ding? Listening to the recording and take briefnotes to fill in the chart below.First, LarryInterview: You live in the city.(Mm-hmm) Do you feel safe there?Larry: Well, I would say that I do feel safe. But…uh…then, of course, I take precautions. I think you have to if you like live in the city. For instance, inside my apartment…uh…my front door has several locks on it. And on all the windows I have locks ,too. And that’s something maybe not everyone does, but…uh…it certainly helps keep burglars away. You would hear them if they were trying to break in…uh…with a lock on the window. Um…At the front door of the building, I don’t let anybody into the building through the front door if I don’t know them. Uh…if they’re strangers asking to be , you know ,buzzed in ,I won’t let them in..And in my neighborhood…uh…I don’t walk alone at night. If it’s late at night, I won’t …uh…won’t walk on the streets alone, especially if it’s a really darks , quiet street. No way. Now, Anne.Anne: Well, let’s see, what do I do to be safe? Well, one thing I do to be safe is I always tell someone exactly where I am going, usually my roommate. So somebody knows where I am at all times.And another thing is: When I come home late at night , I always have my keys ready at the front door, so I don’t have to stop there and look for my keys in my purse. Oh, and one more thing I do is when I am on the subway platform, I always am sure to stand near other people. I don’t like to be standing along on the subway platform.Finally, Paul.Paul: Let’s see, what do I do to be safe? Well, when I ride on the subway late at night, I always try to ride in the car with the conductor.And if I am on the subway ,or even walking down the street, I never state at anyone. You know, I try and avoid making direct eye contract.Oh, and I always try to look like I know where I’m going. And I always walk very, very quickly.Task 8Listening: You will hear a news program. There are four stories about different crimes. What is each story about? Listen to the recording and complete the chart below with what you hear. Chuck: Hello, and welcome to The World’s Worst Criminals. Let’s start our program right now with a story from Nancy Daniels. Nancy?Nancy: Thanks, Chuck.This is an incredible story about two young thieves who were caught after robbing a camera store. They got away with some valuable equipment, but they made a big mistake. They used an instant camera to take photographs of each other at the scene of the crime. When the blank sheets came out of the camera with no pictures on them, they assumed the camera wasn’t working correctly. They threw the prints away before they started to develop. The police found the photographs, recognized the two men, and arrested them the next days!Chuck: Hmm. Not the brightest bulbs in the pack. All right, our next story comes to us from Kevin Nichols. Kevin, what do you have for us?Nancy: Well, Chuck, this is a story about a burglar who was caught by a rabbit.Chuck: All…all…all right, stop right there, Kevin. Did you say…a rabbit?Nancy: Indeed, Chuck. A rabbit name Mopsy, Who was the pet of the Jenkins family. Mopsy, a rabbit with the ability to thump its foot very loudly, interrupted a burglary at its owners’ home by waking everybody up. Robert Jenkins, his wife, Anne, and their three children were asleep at home when they heard a noise at 3 a.m. The rabbit thumped so loudly that it woke the Jenkins family just in time to see a man and a woman leaving the scene of the crime on stolen mountain bikes, Police later arrested the couple.Chuck: That is quite a pet! Nancy, I understand you have another story for us.Nancy: Yes, I do, Chuck. This one’s about a robber who felt especially guilty about the crime he’d committed.A robber walked into a bank, put a bag on the counter, and ordered the teller:”Fill it up—I have a gun. ” The teller put all her loose cash in the bag, and when the robber demanded more, she got bundles of bills from other tellers. Eventually, the robber told her, ”That’s enough ”and walked out with about five thousand dollars. A few minutes later, he reappeared, put the money back on the counter, and apologized to the astonished bank teller. He said:”I’m sorry. I didn’t really mean to rub you. I shouldn’t have done it.” And then he waited for the police to arrive! Chuck: That is truly amazing! Kevin, what else do you have for us?Kevin: This is a crime that many people may actually appreciate, Chuck. Recently, there have been several mysterious break-ins, but the burglarsHaven’t been caught. Apparently , they break into people’s homes when they’re on vacation, but the only thing they steal is food . Then the criminals proceed to redecorate the homes! When the owners return, they find their homes freshly painted and cleaned, but with the cupboards and refrigerator empty. The police are baffled. They believe that although only three cases have been reported, there may be many more victims.Chuck: “Victims”, are they? Those victims are probably happy about having their homes redecorated for free.Kevin: Those burglars can come to my home anytime---I won’t tell the (Ha—ha--ha) police. I would love a decorating job for free, and there’s nothing in my refrigerator…。
