Therell be another one in 2 or 3 minutes.Question: What does the man mean?Man: Laura, it seems that you are up to your neck in work, how come youve been so busy?Woman: Ms Smith has asked for a sick leave, and I have to take over her work for a couple of days.Question: What do we learn about the woman?4.Woman: Washing dishes at the cafeteria every day is really boring.Man: Why dont you quit and deliver the flowers with me?Question: What does the man suggest the woman do?5.Woman: Rod, you said youd take this package to the post office yesterday.Man: Oh, no, it must have slipped my mind.Question: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?6.Man: Im not surprised that you didnt like that movie. I find it really scary myself.Woman: So did I. I dont care much for horror movies as a rule.Question: What do we learn from the conversation?Man: My life experience tells me that love is filled with happiness but it hurts you too.Woman: Your words remind me of the saying honey is sweet but the bee stings.Question: What do we learn from the conversation?8.Man: How many more chairs should I bring in for the forum, six or seven?Woman: Bring in all you can find. Im expecting at least 20 participants.Question: What are the speakers talking about?Conversation 1Man: Do you think theres discrimination against women in England today?Woman: Certainly, and not just in education and work either, in many other fields as well. The tax situation for women is very unfair, for example.Man: Are women better off in other countries then?Woman: It depends on the country. Theres certainly much less discrimination in Scandinavia, and maybe in America, too.Man: Do you think the position of English women will improve?Woman: In some ways it will of course. Im sure more women will go out to work in the next 20 years. But the women have a much greater problem than this to solve.Man: Whats that?Women: The problem of mens attitudes. We can earn more money in the future, but Im not sure we can change men attitudes. You see, most men really think that women are inferior. Maybe we are physically weaker, but I dont think this means we are inferior. Then theres another problem.Man: Yes?Women: The problem of womens attitudes. Lots of women are unhappy with their present situation, but most of them probably dont want to fight for change. It could be that the womens liberation movement has to spend more time changing womens attitudes than it spends in changing mens.Man: One last question, some supporters of the womans liberation movement believed that marriages should be abolished. You agree?Women: No, I dont. It cant happen. What may and should happen is that we teach men to spend more time looking after children and doing housework.9. Where are women said to be less discriminated against?10. What will happen in England in 20 years according to the conversation?11. What does the woman think the womens liberation movement should do?Conversation 2Man: Cheers, ShirleyWomen: Cheers, Paul. What a lovely place for a business lunch. I hope I can concentrate in this heat.Man: I will sure you will when I tell you about my ideas.Woman: You know, I must say I was pleased to hear from you, but from what you said on the phone, everything is so sudden.Man: Well, my father-in-law, who is also the managing director of J.R. Motives, has given me two weeks to prepare a report on the possibility of moving into the export market.Woman: Ah, now, just one thing Paul. Have you really thought the whole idea through?Man: Of course I have.Woman: Now the key thing in the whole operation is to get a good import agent, and you say the bank will help?Man: Im almost sure of it.Woman: Preliminary studies are very good, Paul. But if the product cant sell, then theres little use in expanding the factory.Man: Yes, I realize that, Shirley. But we have a very good product. The chief designer has just completed a new improved model.Woman: I know your bikes have a very good reputation here, but you have to build up a reputation and mark it in Africa.Man: Yes, of course. But the immediate problem is that my father-in-law wants a detailed report by next Monday. Two weeks isnt enough time to prepare a report, so I need your help.Woman: OK, Paul, youve convinced me. I must say I admire your determination.12. Where does the conversation most probably take place?13. What do we learn about the mens father-in-law?14. What does the woman think is important in the whole operation?15. What does the woman admire in the man?Passage 1Scientists know how twins were born, now though, they are trying to explain how being half of the biological pair influences a twins identity. They want to know why many identical twins make similar choices even when they dont leave near each other. For example, Jim Springer and Jim Louis are identical twins. They were separated when they were only 4 months old. The two Jims grew upin different families and did not meet for 39 years. When they finally met, they discovered some surprising similarities between them. Both men were married twice, their first wives were named Linda, and their second wives were both named Betty. Both twins named their first sons James Allen. Scientists want to know what influences are personality. They study pairs of identical twins who grew up in different surroundings, like Jim Springer and Jim Louis. These twins help scientists understand the connection between environment and biology. Researchers at the University of Minnesota, studies 350 sets of identical twins who did not grow up together. They discovered many similarities in their personalities. Scientists believed that personality characteristics such as friendliness, shyness and fears are not result of environment. These characteristics are probably inherited. Scientists continue to study identical twins because they are uncertain about them and have many questions. For example, they want to know can twins really communicate without speaking, can one twin really feel another twins pain. Perhaps with more research, scientists will find the answers.16. What are scientists trying to explain according to the passage?17. What do we learn about the twin Jims?18. Why are scientists interested in studying identical twinsraised in different families?Passage 2Today Im going to talk about tents. Camping is still one of the cheapest ways of having a holiday. And each year, over 3 million people take camping vocations, either here in Britain or aboard, mostly on the continent. Obviously, camping cant be as comfortable as living in a permanent house, but modern tents can be very comfortable indeed, with windows, bedrooms, kitchens and sitting rooms. The most popular tent sold in Britain is the frame tent with 2 bedrooms and sleeping accommodation for 4 people. There is usually an outer tent of water-proofed fabric and a lighter inner tent or tents with a built-in ground sheet. The outer tent fits over the frame work. This is made of metal poles which are fitted together. The inner tent is attached to this frame. Generally, the inner tent is about half the area of the outer tent. The other half of the outer tent is the living area. This doesnt usually have a ground sheet but you can buy one to fit, though it costs extra. The ordinary 4 bed frame tent doesnt usually have a separate kitchen area, but the larger ones often do. You can buy a kitchen extension for many tents, and its worth buying one if you plan to stay camping in one place for more than a few days.19. What does the speaker say about camping?20. What does the passage tell us about the most popular tent sold in Britain?21. What does the speaker suggest buying if you plan to stay camping in one place for more than a few days?Passage 3Andorra, one of the smallest countries in the world, is located high in the mountains between France and Spain. The country covers only 179 square miles. That is less than half the size of New York City. High, rocky mountains surround Andorra. Until the 1930s, travelers had difficulty in reaching the country. Up until that time, people in Andorra lived in the way they had lived for centuries. Most Andorrans worked as farmers. Things did not change quickly. When roads were built from France and Spain to Andorra in the 1930s, life picked up speed. Tourist began to visit the small country. These tourists brought in a lot of money to spend while visiting. Many people in Andorra found new jobs in shops or hotels. These changes helped to keep young people in Andorra. There were many more jobs than before the roads were built. Today tourists provided 80 to 90 percent of Andorras income. More than a million people visit each year. They come to view the rough mountains. They enjoy the quiet way of life. Most people are also interested in the ancient buildings. There are many shops for tourists to browse in, clothes,watches, wines and other items are sold at low prices in Andorra. Import fees are low, so tourists enjoy the inexpensive shopping. Most of the businesses in Andorra are owned by its citizens. There are not many foreign businesses. Some Andorrans still farm and raise sheep and cattle. But most are now involved with the tourist trade.22. How big does the speaker say Andorra is?23. What can be said about Andorra before the 1930s?24. What event changed the situation in Andorra?25. What do most people do in Andorra do nowadays?clozeDictation：Compound DictationDont take may English courses, they wont help you get a decent job. Sign up for management classes, so you will be ready to join the family business when you graduate. Sound familiar? Many of us have heard suggestions like these put forward by parents or others close to us. Such comments often seem quite reasonable. Why then should suggestions like these be taken with caution? The reason is they relate to the decisions you should make. You are the one who must live with their consequences. One of the worst reasons to follow a particular path in life is that other people want you to. Decisions that affect your life should be your decisions. Decisionsyou make after youve considered various alternatives and chosen the path that suits you best. Making your own decisions does not mean that you should ignore the suggestions of others. For instance, your parents do have their own unique experiences that may make their advice helpful and having participated in a great deal of your personal history. They may have a clear view of your strength and weaknesses. Still, their views are not necessarily accurate. They may still see you as a child, and need care and protection. Or they may see only your strength or in some unfortunate cases, they may focus only on your flaws and shortcomings. People will always be giving your advice, ultimately, though you have to make your own judgments.听力答案1. 女士问男士最近一次是什么时候为公寓除尘的，应该是嫌男士家里不干净，结果男士的回答却是那得看我妈上次是什么时候来的。

Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questionsby marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.Robot ManagementA.Robots have beenthe stuff of sciencefiction for so long that it is surprisingly hard to seethem as the stuff of managementfact.A Czech playwright,Karel Capek,gave them their name in1920(from the Slavonic word for"work").An American writer, IsaacAsimov,confronted them with their most memorabledilemmas.Hollywood turned them into superheroesand supervillains.When some film critics drew up lists of Hollywood's50greatestgood guys and50greatestbaddies,theonly characterto appearon both lists wasa robot,the Terminator.B.It is time for managementthinkers to catch up with science-fiction writers.Robots have beendoing auxiliary jobs on production lines since the1960s.The world already has more than lm industrial robots.There is now an accelerationin the ratesat which they arebecoming both cleverer andcheaper:an explosive combination.Robots are learning to interact with the world around them.Their ability to see things is getting ever closer to that of humans,as is their capacity to ingest information and act on it.Tomorrow's robots will increasingly take on delicate, complex tasks.And instead of being imprisoned in cagesto stop them colliding with people,they will be free to wander.C.America's armed forces have blazed a trail here.They now have no fewer than 12,000robots serving in their ranks.Peter Singer,of the Brookings Institution,a think-tank(智囊团),says mankind's5,000-year monopoly on the fighting of war is breaking down.Recent additions to the battlefield include tiny"insects"that perform reconnaissance(侦查)missions and giant"dogs"to terrify enemies.The Pentagonis also working on the EATR,a robot that fuels itself by eating whatever biomass(生物量)it finds aroundit.D.But the civilian world cannot be far behind.Who better to clean sewersor suck up nuclear waste than theseremarkablemachines?The Japanese have made surprisingly little useof robots to clear up after the recentearthquake,given their world leadership in this area.They say that they had the wrong sort of robots in the wrong places.But they have issueda global call for robotic assistanceand are likely to put more robots to work shortly.E.As robots advance into the service industries they are starting to look less like machines and more like living creatures.The Paro(made by AIST,a Japanese researchagency)is shapedlike a baby seal and respondsto attention.Honda's robot, ASIMO,is humanoid andcanwalk,talk andrespondto commands.F.Until now executiveshave largely ignored robots,regarding them asan engineering rather than a management problem.This cannot go on:robots are becoming toopowerful and ubiquitous(无处不在的).Companies may need to rethink their strategiesas they gain accessto these new sorts of workers.Do they really need to outsource production to China,for example,when they have clever machines that work ceaselesslywithout pay?They certainly need to rethink their human-resources policies--starting by questioning whether they should have departmentsdevoted to purely humanresources.G.The first issueis how to managethe robots themselves.Asimov laid down the basic rule in1942:no robot should harm a human.This rule hasbeen reinforced by recent technological improvements:robots are now much more sensitive to their surroundings and can be instructed to avoid hitting people.But the Pentagon'splans make all this a bit more complicated:many of its robots will be,in essence,killing machines.H.A second question is how to manage the homo side of homo-robo relations. Workers have always worried that new technologies will take away their livelihoods, ever since the original Luddites'fearsabout mechanisedlooms.That worry takeson a particularly intense form when the machines come with a human face:Capek'splay that gave robots their name depicted a world in which they initially brought lots of benefits but eventually led to massunemployment and discontent.Now,the arrival of increasingly humanoid automatonsin workplaces,in an era of high unemployment,is bound to provoke a reaction.I.So,companies will need to work hard to persuade workers that robots are productivity-enhancers,not just job-eating aliens.They need to show employeesthat the robot sitting alongside them can be more of a helpmate than a threat.Audi has been particularly successful in introducing industrial robots because the carmaker asked workers to identify areas where robots could improve performance and then gave those workers jobs overseeing the robots.Employers also need to explain that robots can help preserve manufacturing jobs in the rich world:one reason why Germany haslost fewer such jobs than Britain is that it hasfive times asmany robots for every10,000workers.J.Thesetwo principles--don't let robots hurt or frighten people--arerelatively simple.Robot scientists are tackling more complicated problems as robots become more sophisticated.They are keen to avoid hierarchies(层级)among rescue-robots (becausethe loss of the leader would render the rest redundant).So they are using game theory to make sure the robots can communicate with each other in egalitarian (平等)ways.They are keen to avoid duplication between robots and their human handlers.So they are producing more complicated mathematical formulae in order that robots canconstantly adjust themselvesto humanintentions.This suggests that the world could be on the verge of a great management revolution:making robots behavelike humansrather than the20th century's preferred option,making humansbehavelike robots.11.Tomorrow's robots will be free to move around rather than being locked up in cagessoasnot to hurt people.12.It is not easy for people to regard robots as managementstuff,for the later are mostly seenin sciencefictions.13.Robotsappearmore like living creaturesasthey enter into the serviceindustry.14.According to the Pentagon's plans,many of its robots will essentially become killing machines.15.The Japanesedidn't use a lot of robots to clear up after the recent earthquake, considering their world leadershipin the robot field.panies should show their workers that robots can be more of a helper rather than a threat to them.17.The fact that more and more human-like robots are usedin workplaces will surely arousereaction in a time of high unemployment.18.Robots,who areconsidered as an engineering instead of a managementproblem, havebeenlargely neglectedby executives.19.Scientists are trying to enable robots to constantly adjust themselvesto people's intentions.20.The example that Germany haslost fewer manufacturing jobs than Britain shows that robots canhelp preservemanufacturing jobs in the rich world.Section CDirections:There are2passagesin this section.Each passageis followed by somequestions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are fourchoices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choiceand mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single linethrough the centre.PassageOneOne of the bitterest and most time-worm debatesin student union bars up and down the country is resolved as academicresearchconfirms that in financial terms atleast,arts degrees are a complete waste of time.Getting through university boostsearnings by25%,on a weighted

comesto my college educationI am anidealist and a fool.In high schoolI wanted to be an electrical engineer and,of course,anysensiblestudent with my aims would have chosena college with a large engineering department，famous reputationnot what I did.and lots of good labs andresearchequipment.But that‘ｓevenI chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university that doesn’ｔoffer a major in electrical engineering.Obviously,this was not a practical choice;I camehere for more noble reasons.I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value systemto guide me in my career.Iwanted to openmy eyesstudying science or and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’ｔengineering.My parents,teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice.They told me I was wise and maturebeyond my18years,andI believedthem.I headedoff to college sureI was going to have an advantageover thosestudentscare if you have values or who went to big engineering“factories”where they didn’ｔwere flexible.I was going to be a complete engineer:technical genius and sensitive humanistall in one.Now I‘ｍnot so sure.Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality,as all noble ideals eventually do.After three years of struggling to balance math,physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses,I have learned there are reasonswhy few engineering students try to reconcile(协调)engineering with liberal-arts coursesin college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successfulstudent ismix as easily as I assumedin
