Mr. Green hired Tom to stay in their house because he didn’t want it left empty.M: Y ou mean the Greens paid Tom just to live in their house?W: I t certainly wasn’t that easy. (21) He had to mow the lawn and water the houseplants and also feed the pets. And when Bruce house-sat for Mr. Green, he had to help him with his farm.M: I heard about baby-sitting, and house-sitting sounds just like it---exc ept you’re taking care of a house instead of children. It may be a suitable job for me.W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.M: Do I just have to fill out an application form?W: Y es, and (22) Tom and Bruce had to interview with the homeowners and provide three references each.M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.W: Well, the homeowners want some guarantee that they can trust the house-sitter. Y ou know, they want to make sure you’re not the type who’ll throw wild p arties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you.M: House sitters who do that sort of thing probably aren’t paid then.W: Usually they’re paid anyway just because the homeowners don’t want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reported it, then the house-sitter wouldn’t be able to get another job. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What does the man want to do this summer?20. What did the Greens do when they went away on holiday last summer?21. What is one responsibility the house sitter probably wouldn’t have?22. How do homeowners determine the reliability of a house sitter?Conversation TwoW: Did I ever tell you about the time I found $150?M: No. What happened?W: I was walking down the street, when I saw a wallet just lying there. I picked it up, and it had about $150 in it.M: What happened? Did you keep the money?W: No. (23) I called the police. They came over and picked it up.M: Good for you. That was really honest of you.W: I had a nice surprise three months later. The police gave me the money. They didn’t find the person who lost it.M: Well, I’ll never forget the time I lost money.W: Oh, no. Was it a lot? Tell me.M: (24) I was waiting to pay for some groceries. My wallet was empty! I was sure I had about $100. I was really embarrassed! I went home and searched everywhere.W: So, did you ever find it?M: (25) You won’t believe it. I found it in the washing machine the next time I did laundry. I guess it was in my pants’ pocket the whole time.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23.

(10 points)Did you know that one out of every ten people in the world are left-handed? And did you also know that in many countries left-handedness is still thought of as being wrong? In India, for example, you shouldn’t eat with your left hand.Even at the beginning of the 20th century left-handedness was considered to be a sign of weakness. 16)Researchers used to try and prove that left-handed people were more likely to commit 17)murder, or have reading problems than right-handed people.18)Fortunately, not all cultures think like this. In China both sides are needed for 19)harmony.Left-handedness can in fact be an 20)advantage in sport. Many left-handed 21)boxers and tennis players have achieved outstanding success. This is partly because of the element of surprise the left hand can offer and partly because left-handed people’s 22)brains work quicker.Nevertheless, this is still a right-handed people’s world. Ands this can be clearly seen when you’re buying everyday things like scissors or golf clubs. 23)Even the most ordinary household iterms such as irons or can-openers are designed for right-handed people.But, here’s some good news for all left-handed people. There is a shop in London which sells goods especially for left-handed people. It’s called Anything Left-handed.There 24)you can buy anything from left-handed pocket calculators to knives and coffee mugs. In fact you can even buy watches for the left hand which work anti-clockwise. 25)People who buy things from the shop say it just makes their everyday life much easier.Part DDirections: You’ll hear three passages. Each will be read only once. Choose the right answers to the questions you hear. (10 points)Passage 1Many people suffer from some form of extreme anxiety. Some experience occasional attacks of panic for almost no reason. Others go around in a state of continual uneasiness. How can anxiety be controlled? One way is for patients to take drugs which help manage their anxiety. Patients who take these drugs say that they are able to work, to sleep and to go to places they feared to visit before. But the effects of the drugs on the human body, especially on the nervous system, have not been known for a long time.Scientists have started a series of studies to identify the effects of the drugs on the brain and have gained some insight into the costs and benefits of the anti-anxiety drugs. They are valuable because they can reduce the effects of expected failure, frustration and disappointment. But their value demands a price. Two effects of the drugs are obviously harmful. First, they weaken a person's ability to react to changes; second, they fail to help a person deal with unexpected troubles. It is fairly sure that people will meet with problems they have never expected, so these harmful effects may make the price of anti-anxiety drugs too high.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.26. What does the passage mainly tell us?27. What harmful effects can anti-anxiety drugs have on a patient?28. What is the speaker’s attitude toward anti-anxiety drugs?Passage 2Elizabeth Blackwell was born in 1821 in England. Her family moved to the United States when she was 11. There,several years later, a family friend who suffered from cancer suggested to her that she study medicine. The dying friend said that perhaps her sickness would have been better under-stood if she had been treated by a woman. Elizabeth knew that no woman had ever been permitted to study in a medical college, but she began to think about the idea seriously after the friend died.Supported by her family, she began to study medicine privately with a doctor. Later she was accepted by Geneva Medical College in New York State and graduated in 1849 with high honors. She became the first woman in the Western world to have completed medical school training.Dr. Blackwell had many dreams. One was to start a hospital for women and children: another was to build a medical school to train woman doctors. After many years’s struggle against every kind of opposition, she finally succeeded in opening the first medical college for women in New York in 1868, and a second one later in London. In 1871 she founded the British National Health Society.Elizabeth Blackwell believed that the true reponsibility of doctors was to prevent disease. She stated p program in which doctors visited patients in their homes and taught them basic hygiene about house cleaning and food preparation so that sickness could be prevented. And she started the program of disease prevention in her schools. It was the first time the idea of preventing disease was taught at a medical college.Dr. Blackwell died in 1910, at the age of 89. She is remembered for her contribution to the cause of medicine and for showing the way for women to move on.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.29. Why did Elizabeth Blackwell want to become a doctor?30. As the first woman doctor, where did she open the first medical college for woman?31. What did Elizabeth Blackwell think was the true responsibility of doctors?32. Which of the following best describes Elizabeth Blackwell?Passage 3:When parents and teachers of youn children talk about the need for good self-esteem, they usually mean that children have “good feelings” about themselves. With young children, self-esteem refers to the extent to which they expect to be accepted and valued by the adults and peers who are important to them.Children with a healthy sense of self-esteem feel that the important adults in their lives accept them, care about them, and would go out of their way to ensure that they are safe and well. They feel that those adults would be upset if anything happened to them and would miss them if they are separated. Children with low self-esteem, on the other hand, feel that important adults and peers in their lives do not accept them, do not care about them very much, and would not go out of their way to ensure their safety and well-being.During their early years, youn children’s self-esteem is based largely on their perceptions of how the important adults in their lives judge themn. The extent to which children believe they have the characteristics valued by the important adults and peers in their lives figures greatly in the development of self-esteem. For example, in families and communities that value athletic ability highly, children who excel in athletics are likely to have a high level of self-esteem, whereas children who are less athletic or who are criticized as being physically clumsy are likely to suffer from low self-esteem.Families, communities and ethnic and cultural groups vary in the criteria on which self-esteem is based. For example, some groups may emphasize physical appearance, and some may evaluate boys and girls differently. Prejudice and discrimination are also factors that may contribute to low self-esteem among children.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.33. Who play a major role in helping children develop a healthy sense of self-esteem?34. What is youn children’s self-esteem mainly based on according to the passage?35. Which of the following is not discussed?Tapescript of Test 2Part ADirections: You’re going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers.

There, how’s this?W: Well, you’ve written the amount in numbers, but you have to write it out in words, too. That goes on the second line, there.M: Oh, yeah.W: By the way, it’s a good idea to draw a line from the end of the amount to the word “euros”so nobody can change the amount.M: Oh, thanks. Well, that should do it. Here you go.W: You forgot to sign your name. There, in the bottom right corner.M: Woops, sorry. Here you go.W: The date.M: W...huh?W: The date—you forgot it. It goes in the top right corner.M: Oh,right. OK, am I done?W: Yes. That’s fifty—a hundred—a hundred and fifty euros.M: Thanks a lot. Have a good day.W: You too.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.9. What’s the man doing in the bank?10. Where is the man asked to write the word “cash”?11. What does the woman ask the man to do?Conversation 2W: You look worried, David. Anything wrong?M: Well, to be honest, it's my mother. Sh e’s been behaving strangely lately.W: In what way?M: Well, ever since my father died, she’s been unhappy.W: That’s quite normal. People are always upset by things like that.M: But it happened more than three years ago. I never thought she would miss him so much.W: Oh, I see what you mean.M: It wouldn’t be so bad if my mother didn’t live so far away. When my father retired, they moved to the seaside. Then only a year later, my father suddenly had a heart attack and passed away. Now my mother is all alone in a big house, with very few friends and no family near her.W: She must be very lonely.M: Yes, she is ! My wife and I go to see her as often as we can. But it isn’t easy. I phone her at least twice a week and ask her if she’ all right or if she needs anything...And there’s something else that worries me a lot.W: What?M: Her memory seems to be going. I have to remind her to do all sorts of things...to pay the gas bill, for instance. She gets annoyed with me. But I know she’ll forget if I don’t.W: Well, don’t worry about it too much. She’s just getting old, that’s all.M: I know! That’s just the problem.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.12. Why does David’s mother feel unhappy lately?13. What’s wrong with David’s mother?14. Which of the following is true?15. What do you know about David?Part CDirections: Listen to the passage three times and fill in the blanks with the missing words. (10 points)In the 16)course of modernization, our environment is being polluted faster than man’s present efforts can 17)prvent. Advanced 18)technology and modern industries bring our society many 19)benefits, making our life easy and comfortable, but they also lead to greater polution.One form of pollution, in 20)particular, that has received a lot of attention in recent years, is that produced by waster plastic bags and boxes. 21)Due to improper disposal, they lie here and there along the railway tracks. In the rivers, on the hills, on the sea and around 22)communities. On a windy day, 23)they are to be seen flying freely in the sky.Measures must be taken to clean them up. 24)Recycling should be put into consideration and more importantly, 25)consumers themselves have to be responsible for the proper disposal of their garbage.Part DDirections: You’ll hear three passages. Each will be read only once. Listen carefully and then choose the right answers to the questions you hear. (10 points)One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life-styles.In more traditional societies,when children grow up,they are expected to live in the same area as their parents,to marry people that their parents know and approve of,and often to continue the family occupation. But nowadays, quite a lot of young people like travel great distances for their education,move out of the family home at an early age,marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In our upwardly mobile society,parents often expect their children to do better than they did:to find better jobs,to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often,however,the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. They may discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilitites.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.26. What is mainly discussed in the passage?27. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?27. What is the style of the talk?Passage 2The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony. Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together.The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring.That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry. The diamond did not represent loyalty as some people thought. It represented beauty instead. The Austrian man placed it on the third finger of her left hand. He chose that finger because it was thought that a blood vessel or nerve in that finger went directly to the heart. Today, we know that this is not true. Yet the tradition continues. Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year, if they are planning a wedding ceremony and party. During this time, friends of the bride may hold a party at which woman friends and family members give the bride gifts that she will need as as a wife. Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him. This usually takes place the night before the wedding. Only men are invited to the bachelor party. During the marriage ceremony, the bride and her would-be husband usually exchange gold rings. That represents the idea that their union will continue forever. The wife often wears both the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger. The husband wears his wedding ring on the third finger of his left hand.Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding. But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure they want to marry each other. Either person may decide to break the engagement. If this happens, the woman usually returns the ring to the man. They also return any wedding gifts they have received.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.29. What is the passage mainly about?30. What do the bride and bridegroom do during the marriage ceremony?31. Which of the following is true?32. What is the chief advantage of having the engagemnent period?Passage 3My family came to America before I was born. In two weeks I am going to get married, and my fiancee (未婚妻), Rosa and I expect to be very happy. We do not plan to have a honeymoon because we want to spend two weeks setting up our own new business as real estate agents (房地产代理商).My mother, who is very traditional (传统)woman, says that our plan is absurd. She thinks that we should just spend the two weeks on a holiday in the Caribbean. In her days, and in the old country, young couples didn't start businesses together. Instead, the man went out to work, and the wife stayed home to raise a family.Both Samantha and I want children in the future, and together we plan to raise them. Needless to say, our plans and my mother's views don't agree. I suppose it's hard for my mother and father to understand our point of view. They are used to another way of setting up a marriage and a life.Another thing that worries my parents is the fact that Rosa and I are going to be spending seven days a week on our business until it is running smoothly. As my mother has pointed out to us, such a schedule will leave us little time for socializing. A young couple should enjoy themselves and get to know each other under less hectic circumstances, my mother says.Actually, Rosa and I know each other pretty well. We are both dedicated to our goals, and neither of us minds giving up weekends for a while.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.33. Why do the speaker and his fiancee decide not to have a honymoon?34. Which of the following best describes the speaker’s mother?35. What do you know about the young couple?。
