I’m interested in doing a course in paragliding.Man: Which course are you interested in?Maria: Well, I’m not sure. What’s available?Man: Well ... we’ve got the introductory course which lasts for two days.Maria: OK.Man: Or there’s the 4-day beginners’ course which is what most people do first. I’d tend to recommend that one. And there’s also the elementary pilot course which takes five to six days depending on conditions.Maria: We might try the beginner’s course. What sort of prices are we looking at?Man: The introductory is ＄190; the beginner’s course, which is probably what you’d be looking at, is ＄320 - no, sorry 330 - it’s just gone up - and the pilot course is ＄430.Maria: Right.Man: And you also have to become a member of our club so that you’re insured. That’ll cost you ＄12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.Maria: Does that cover me if I break a leg?Man: No, I’m afraid not - it’s only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings, but not theft or injury. You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.Maria: I see! And what’s the best way to get to your place? By public transport or could we come by bike? We’re pretty keen cyclists.Man: It’s difficult by public transport though there is a bus from Newcastle; most people get here by car, though, cos we’re a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I’ll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What’s your name?Maria: Maria Gentle.Man: And your address, Maria?Maria: Well, I’m a student staying with a family in Newcastle.Man: So it’s care of ...Maria: Care of Mr and Mrs. McDonald.Man: Like the hamburgers!Maria: Yes, exactly.Man: McDonald ...Maria: The post office box address is probably best. It’s R.O. Box 676, Newcastle.Man: Is there a fax number there, because I could fax you the information?Maria: Yes, actually, there is. It’s 0249 that’s for Newcastle and then double seven five four three one.Man: OK. Now if you decide to do one of our courses, you’ll need to book in advance and to pay when you book. How would you be paying?Maria: Uh ... by credit card if that’s OK. Do you take Visa?Man: Yes, fine. We take all major cards, including Visa.Maria: OK then. Thanks very much.Maria: Hi, Pauline.Pauline: Hi, Maria! What’s that you’re reading?Maria: Just some information from a paragliding school-it looks really good fun. Do you fancy a go at paragliding?Pauline: Sure! Do you have to buy lots of equipment and stuff?Maria: Not really. The school provides the equipment but we’d have to take a few things along.Pauline: Such as?Maria: Well, it says here. ‘Clothes: wear stout boots’, so no sneakers or sandals I suppose, and ‘clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt.’ That’s probably in-case you land in the stinging nettles! It also says we should bring a packed lunch. We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee. Water is really the best thing to drink. Er...we need to bring suntan lotion and something to protect your head from the sun!Pauline: OK that sounds reasonable. And where would we stay?Maria: Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too, because it says here that it’s only ＄10 a day to pitch a tent. That’d be fine, wouldn’t it? And that way we’d save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money.Pauline: Um... or perhaps we could stay in a bed-and- breakfast nearby. It gives a couple of names here we could ring. I think I might prefer that. Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm and I don’t fancy a caravan.Maria: No, I agree. But let’s take a tent and pray for good weather.Pauline: OK - let’s do it. What about next weekend?Maria: No, I can’t - I’m going on a geography field trip.Pauline: ... and then it’s the weekend before the exams and I really do need to study.Maria: OK, then. Let’s make it the one after the exams.Pauline: Fine - we’ll need a break by then. Can you ring and let me know ...SECTION 1 Questions 1-10Questions 1-3Listen to the telephone conversation between a student and the owner of a paragliding school and answer the questions below.Circle the correct letters A-D.1．How much is the beginner’s course?A．＄190B．＄320C．＄330D．＄430正确答案：C2．What does the club insurance cover?A．injury to yourselfB．injury to your equipmentC．damage to other people’s propertyD．loss of personal belongings正确答案：C3．How do the girls want to travel?A．public transportB．private busC．carD．bicycle正确答案：DQuestions 4-7Complete the form below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.4．【4】正确答案：McDonald/Macdonald/MacDonald5．【5】正确答案：Post Office Box/PO Box 6766．【6】正确答案：7754317．【7】正确答案：credit card/Visa8．Question 8Circle TWO letters A-G.Which TWO of the following items must people take with them?[A] sandals[B] old clothes[C] pullover[D] shirt with long sleeves[E] soft drinks[F] hat正确答案：DF解析：你必须选对两个答案才能得分。

雅思（阅读）模拟试卷40(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. Reading ModuleReading Module (60 minutes)Bioluminescence A．In the pitch-black waters of the ocean’s aphetic zone —depths from 1000 m to the sea floor—good eye sight does not count for very much on its own. Caves, in addition, frequently present a similar problem: the complete absence of natural light at any time of the day. This has not stopped some organisms from turning these inhospitable environments into their homes, and in the process many have created their own forms of light by developing one of the stunning visual marvels of the biological universe—bioluminescence.B．Many people will encounter bioluminescence at some point in their life, typically in some form of glowworm, which is found on most continents. North and South America are home to the “firefly”, a glowing beetle which is known as a glow-worm during its larvae stage. Flightless glowing beetles and worms are also found in Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Less common flies, centipedes, mollusks and snails have bioluminescent qualities as well, as do some mushrooms. The most dramatic examples of bioluminescence, however, are found deep below the ocean’s surface, where no sunlight can penetrate at all. Here, anglerfish, cookie-cutter sharks, flashlight fish, lantern fish, gulper eels, viper fish and many other species have developed bioluminescence in unique and creative ways to facilitate their lives.C．The natural uses of bioluminescence vary widely, and organisms have learnt to be very creative with its, use. Fireflies employ bioluminescence primarily for reproductive means—their flashing patterns advertise a firefiy’s readiness to breed. Some fish use it as a handy spotlight to help them locate prey. Cithers use it as a lure; the anglerfish, for example, dangles a luminescent flare that draws in gullible, smaller fishes which get snapped up by the anglerfish in an automated reflex. Sometimes bioluminescence is used to resist predators. Vampire squids eject a thick cloud of glowing liquid from the tip of its arms when threatened, which can be disorientating. Other species use a single, bright flash to temporarily blind their attacker, with an effect similar to that of an oncoming car which has not dipped its headlights.D．Humans have captured and utilized bioluminescence by developing, over the last decade, a technology known as Bioluminescence Imaging (BLI). BL! involves the extraction of a DNA protein from a bioluminescent organism, and then the integration of this protein into a laboratory animal through transgeneticism. Researchers have been able to use aluminized pathogens and cancer cell lines to track the respective spread of infections and cancers. Through BLI, cancers and infections can be observed without intervening in a way that affects their independent development. In other words, while an ultra-sensitive camera and bioluminescent proteins add a visual element, they do not disrupt or mutate the natural processes. As a result, when testing drugs and treatments, researchers are permitted a singleperspective of a therapy’s progression. E．Once scientists learn how to engineer bioluminescence and keep it stable in large quantities, a number of other human uses for it will become available. Glowing trees have been proposed as replacements for electric lighting along busy roads, for example, which would reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources. The same technology used in Christmas trees for the family home would also eliminate the fire danger from electrical fairy lights. It may also be possible for crops and plants to luminescent when they require watering, and for meat and dairy products to “tell us” when they have become contaminated by bacteria. In a similar way, forensic investigators could detect bacterial species on corpses through bioluminescence. Finally, there is the element of pure novelty. Children’s toys and stickers are often made with glow-in-the-dark qualities, and a biological form would allow rabbits, mice, fish, and other pets to glow as well.Questions 1-5 Reading Passage 1 has five sections, A-E. Choose the correct headings for sections A-E from the list of headings below. Write the correct number, i-ix, in boxes 1-5 on your answer sheet.List of Headings i Mushrooms that glow in the dark ii Bright creatures on land and in the sea iii Evolution’s solution iv Cave-dwelling organisms v Future opportunities in biological engineering vi Nature’s gift to medicine vii Bioluminescence in humans viii Purposes of bioluminescence in the wild ix Luminescent pets1．Section A正确答案：iii2．Section B正确答案：ii3．Section C正确答案：viii4．Section D正确答案：vi5．Section E正确答案：vChoose FOUR letters, A-G.

From voluptuous and curvy in the days of Marilyn Monroe, to slender and androgynous when Twiggy hit the London scene in the mid-1960s, and then on to the towering Amazonian models of the 1980s and the “heroin chic” and size-zero obsession of today, it is not just clothes that go in and out of fashion for women. The prevailing notion of the perfect body for men, however, has remained remarkably static: broad shoulders, a big chest and arms, and rippling, visible abdominal muscles and powerful legs have long been the staple ingredients of a desirable male physique.B．A growing body of evidence suggests this is changing, however. Root steins, a mannequin design company in Britain, has released its newest male model—the home nouveau—with a cinched-in 27-inch waist. “To put that into perspective,”says one female fashion reporter, “I had a 27-inch waist when I was thirteen...and I was really skinny.”The company suggests that the home nouveau “redresses the prevailing ‘beefcake’ figure by carving out a far more streamlined, sinuous silhouette to match the edgier attitude of a new generation”.C．Elsewhere in the fashion industry, the label American Apparel is releasing a line of trousers in sizes no larger than a 30-inch waist, which squeezes out most of the younger male market who have an average waistline over five inches larger. Slender young men are naturally starting to dominate the catwalks and magazine pages as well. “No one wanted the big guys,”model David Gandy has said, describing how his muscled physique was losing him jobs. “It was all the skinny, androgynous look. People would look at me very, very strangely when I went to castings.”D．Achieving such a physique can be unattainable for those without the natural genetic make-up. “I don’t know that anyone would consider my body archetypal or as an exemplar to work towards,” notes model Dave Micaville. “You couldn’t aim for this; it’s defined by a vacuum of flesh, by what it’s not.”Nevertheless, statistics suggest it is not just an obsession of models, celebrities and the media—more and more ordinary men are prepared to go to great lengths for a slender body. One indication is the growing number of men who are discovering surgical reconstruction. Male breast-reduction has become especially popular; in 2009 the year-on-year growth rate for this procedure rose to 44 percent in the United Kingdom. Liposuction also remains popular in the market for male body reconstructive surgery, with 35,000 such procedures being performed on men every year. E．Additionally, more men now have eating disorders than ever before. These are characterized by normal eating habits, typically either the consumption of insufficient or excessive amounts of food. Eating disorders are detrimental to the physical and mental condition of people who suffer from them, and the desire to achieve unrealistic physiques has been implicated as a cause. In 1990 only 10% of people suffering from anorexia or bulimia were believed to be male, but this figure has climbed steadily to around one quarter today. Around two in five binge eaters are men. Women still make up the majority of those afflicted by eating disorders, but the perception of it being a “girly”problem has contributed to men being less likely to pursue treatment. In 2008, male eating disorders were thrust into the spotlight when former British Deputy Prime Minister,John Prescott, admitted to habitually gorging on junk food and then inducing himself to vomit while in office. “I never admitted to this out of the shame and embarrassment,” he said. “I found it difficult as a man like me to admit that I suffered from bulimia.”F．In some respects, the slim male silhouette seems to be complementing, rather than displacing, the G. I. Joe physique. Men’s Health, one of the only titles to weather the floundering magazine market with sales increasing to a quarter of a million per issue, has a staple diet of bulky men on the cover who entice readers with the promise of big, powerful muscles. Advertising executives and fashion editors suggest that in times of recession and political uncertainty, the more robust male body image once again becomes desirable. Academic research supports this claim, indicating that more “feminine” features are desirable for men in comfortable and secure societies, while “masculine”physical traits are more attractive where survival comes back to the individual. A University of Aberdeen study, conducted using 4,500 women from over 30 countries, found a pronounced correlation between levels of public healthcare and the amount of effeminacy women preferred in their men. In Sweden, the country considered to have the best healthcare, 68 percent of women preferred the men who were shown with feminine facial features. In Brazil, the country with the worst healthcare in the study, only 45 percent of women were so inclined. “The results suggest that as healthcare improves, more masculine men fall out of favor,” the researchers concluded. G．Ultimately, columnist Polly Vernon has written, we are left with two polarized ideals of masculine beauty. One is the sleek, slender silhouette that exudes cutting-edge style and a wealthy, comfortable lifestyle. The other is the “strong, muscular, austerity-resistant” form that suggests a man can look after himself with his own bare hands. These ideals co-exist by pulling men in different directions and encouraging them to believe they must always be chasing physical perfection, while simultaneously destabilizing any firm notions of what physical perfection requires. H．As a result, attaining the ideal body becomes an ever more futile and time-consuming task. Vernon concludes that this means less time for the more important things in life, and both sexes should resist the compulsive obsession with beauty.Questions 14-20 Reading Passage 2 has eight paragraphs, A-H.

The author of this book, journalist Lynne Truss, is something akin to a militant linguist, dedicating this “zero tolerance” manifesto on grammar to the striking Bolshevik printers of St. Petersburg who, in demanding the same remuneration for punctuation as they received for letters, ended up setting in motion the first Russian Revolution. Some of the book involves humorous attacks on erroneous punctuation. There is the confused Shakespearian thespian who inadvertently turns a frantic plea: “Go, get him surgeons!”into the cheerful encouragement of “Go get him, surgeons!”Street and shop signs have a ubiquitous presence. A bakery declares “FRESH DONUT’S SOLD HERE”and a florist curiously announces that “Pansy’s here!”(Is she?). The shameless title of a Hollywood film Two Weeks Notice is reeled in for criticism—”Would they similarly call it One Weeks Notice?”, Truss enquires--and sometimes, as in the case of signs promoting “ANTIQUE’S”and “Potato’s”—one questions whether we are bearing witness to new depths of grammar ignorance, or a postmodern caricature of atrocious punctuation. Eats, Shoots and leaves is not just a piece of comedy and ridicule, however, and Truss has plenty to offer on the question of proper grammar usage. If you have ever wondered whether it is acceptable to simply use an “elm dash”I in place of a comma—the verdict from Truss is that you can. “The dash is less formal than the semicolon, which makes it more attractive, “she suggests. “lt enhances conversational tone; and...it is capable of quite subtle effects.” The author concludes, with characteristic wry condescension, that the elm dash’s popularity largely rests on people knowing it is almost impossible to use incorrectly. Truss is a personal champion of the semicolon, a historically contentious punctuation mark elsewheremaligned by novelist Kurt V onnegut Jr., as a “transvestite hermaphrodite representing absolutely nothing”. Coming to the semicolon’s defense, Truss suggests that, while it can certainly be over-used—she refers to the dying words of one 20th century writer: “I should have used fewer semicolons”—the semicolon can perform the role of a “a kind of Special Policeman in the event of comma fights”. Truss has come under criticism on two broad points. The first argument criticizes the legitimacy of her authority as a punctuation autocrat. Louis Men and, writing in the New Yorker, details Eats, Shoots and Leaves’ numerous grammatical and punctuation sins: a comma-free non-restrictive clause; a superfluous ellipsis; a misplaced apostrophe; a misused parenthesis; two misused semicolons; an erroneous hyphen in the word “abuzz”, and so on. In fact, as Men and notes, half the semicolons in the Truss book are spuriously deployed because they stem from the author’s open flouting of the rule that semicolons must only connect two independent clauses. “Why would a person not just vague about the rules but disinclined to follow them bother to produce a guide to punctuation.’?” Men and inquires. Ultimately, he holds Truss accused of producing a book that pleases those who “just need to vent” and concludes that Eats, Shoots and Leaves is actually a tirade against the decline of language and print that disguises itself, thinly and poorly, as some kind of a style manual. Linguist David Crystal has criticized what he describes as a “linguistic purism” coursing through Truss’ book. Linguistic purism is the notion that one variety of language is somehow more pure than others, with this sense of purity often based on an idealized historical point in the language’s development, but sometimes simply in reference to an abstract ideal. In The Fight for English. How Language Pundits Ate, Shot and Left, Crystal--a former colleague of Truss--condemns the no-holds-barred approach to punctuation and grammar. “Zero tolerance does not allow for flexibility,”he argues. “It is prescriptivism taken to extremes. It suggests that language is in a state where all the rules are established with 100 per cent certainty. The suggestion is false. We do not know what all the rules of punctuation are. And no rule of punctuation is followed by all of the people all of the time.”Other detractors of Truss’“prescriptivism” are careful to disassociate needless purism from robust and sensible criticism, an oppositional stance they call descriptivism. “Don’t ever imagine,” Geoffrey K. Plum on the Language Log emphasizes, “that I think all honest attempts at using English are just as good as any others. [ Bad ~ writing needs to be fixed. But let’s make sure we fix the right things.”In other words, we do not require a dogmatic approach to clean up misused language. Charles Gaulle concurs, noting that his opposition to “prescriptivism”does not require contending with the existence of standards themselves, but questioning whether our standards should determine what works, or whether what works should determine our standards. Ultimately, it is unlikely the purists and pedagogues will ever make absolute peace with those who see language as a fluid, creative process within which everyone has a role to play. Both sides can learn to live in a sort of contentious harmony, however. Creativity typically involves extending, adapting and critiquing the status quo, and revising and reviving old traditions while constructing new ones. Rules must exist in order for this process to take place, if only for them to be broken. On the flip side, rules have an important roleto play in guiding our language into forms that can be accessed by people across all manner of differences, so it is vital to acknowledge the extent to which they can be democratic, rather than merely autocratic in function. Nevertheless, all the regulations in the world cannot stem the natural spring of language, which bursts through rivets and snakes around the dams that linguistic authorities may try to put in place. We should celebrate rather than curse these inevitable tensions.Questions 27-32 Look at the following statements (Questions 27-32) and the list of people below. Match each statement with the correct person, A-E. Write the correct letter, A-E, in boxes 27-32 on your answer sheet.

Otherwise, just park in a visitor’s Space.M: And how much do they cost?W: They are free to students who have regular permits. In the meantime, I’m afraid I’ll have to charge you the ten-dollar fine.2．What prompted this conversation?A．The man did not have transportation to school.B．The man received a parking ticket.C．The man went to the Student Union.D．The man wanted to buy a parking permit.正确答案：B解析：此类题既要听懂大致的意思，更要抓住关键词。

The conference is in a building called Chancery Chambers but I don’t have any idea how to get there.RECEPTIONIST: Oh, that’s the funny-shaped building on the corner of King and Richard streets. It’s quite straightforward really and only a few minutes’ walk. Look, I’ll show you on this map.GUEST: Good. A map —I like to follow a map if possible.RECEPTIONIST: Right, well, step out the front entrance of the hotel and you’re on Hob Street. Head south on Hob Street toward Gorse Lane and take the second on the left onto Vickers Street West. Go all the way down the hill past the Mexican earéon your left, the Rebel Hostel on your right and the big church on the corner of Allen Street.GUEST: Oh, I think I know the one. It has a huge steeple.RECEPTIONIST: Yes, you’re right. When you get to the bottom of the hill, you’ll have to cross over the main street.GUEST: What’s the name of the main street?RECEPTIONIST: Mill Street.GUEST: Mill Street, ah yes, there itis.RECEPTIONIST: Cross the main street and continue onto Vickers Street East. There’s a big bank next to a bookshop on the corner. Go up the hill towards the entrance to the park...GUEST: I’ve heard it’s very beautiful.RECEPTIONIST: Oh, yes, well worth a look when you’ve got some free time. Anyway, don’t go in the park—turn left into Kitchen Street—you’ll walk past Bowen’s Bistro. Actually, probably the best place to get a good lunch at a reasonable price. After Bowen’s take the second left into Baker’s Lane—it’s a very short street--then take the first on your left onto King Street and you should see the art-deco Chancery Chambers building a bit further along on the corner of Richard Street.GUEST: Oh, thank you for that.

Why would you choose to put your money into an investment society and not a bank? Well, SIS offers everything you’d expect from a bank but the difference is we’re a cooperative. We’re 100% owned by our customers—people like you—and that means we always put your best interests first. You won’t see our profits going into large foreign-owned finance corporations. No, you’ll see them coming back to you and your local community. As a co-operative, we work hard to keep our fees competitive and absolutely minimal. Even better, we can advise you about ways to avoid fees. Here are some suggestions: firstly, we recommend you carry out as much of your personal banking as possible with us. We won’t charge account fees unlessyour account becomes inactive for some reason. See? No unnecessary fees. Secondly, if you maintain certain minimum account balances, you won’t have to pay any transaction charges for transferring money between any accounts that have the same customer number, although there may be some service charges that apply such as the establishment of automatic payments. So, how can we help you?11．The SIS isA．a non-profit making organization.B．owned by an international corporation.C．a collective owned by ordinary people.正确答案：C12．The SISA．has no fees.B．has low fees.C．avoids paying fees.正确答案：B13．SIS accounts with the same customer numberA．will be charged for setting up automatic payments.B．attract no service charges.C．must have a minimum balance.正确答案：A听力原文：Let’s look first at Savings Options. We can give you three options. Our Internet Account earns you interest from your very first dollar deposited. You don’t have to maintain a minimum balance and you earn a good interest rate from the start. Interest calculated daily and paid into your account monthly. You always have immediate access to you money by using the Internet, Text, or Telephone banking. What’s more there are no account or transaction fees. With our Stairs Saver scheme, the more you save the higher interest you earn. Again, there is no minimum balance but as your balance grows, you’ll earn higher interest rates. There are three interest tiers or steps plus bonus interest. Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly. Now, what about access to your money? You are free to make as many withdrawals as you like but if you restrict them to one a month and your balance increases over that month, then you’ll earn that bonus interest. With our Simple Saver scheme, access is available anytime and we don’t impose penalties for withdrawals. This scheme has one interest rate, no minimum balance and interest is calculated daily and paid annually at the end of the financial year—the 30th of June. So, you can see that savings accounts are ideal if you’re starting from scratch. Do you know you can opena savings account with as little as ten dollars? They’re usually the best choice for short-term financial goals. For the longer term we recommend some kind of investment account. Let’s take a look at our investment options. Starting with the safest...the most secure, low risk option is a basic Term Deposit, starting with a minimum deposit of $1,000. Interest is calculated daily but you can choose whether to have it paid out monthly, quarterly or at maturity. What we recommend, if you really want to see money grow, is having interest compounded quarterly. You’ll only get access to your hands when your Term Deposit matures so be sure to think carefully about the amount of time before you lock it away—it could be anything from 6 months to 5 years. Bonds are generally a longer commitment but they may bring better rewards in the future. There is a minimum deposit of $5,000 and interest is calculated daily. You may choose to have interest compounded quarterly or paid out quarterly. And, of course, you’ll have access to your money when your Bond reaches maturity. Looking really long term, there is our Retirement Fund which is of course a savings plan for retirement. There is no minimum deposit but the good news is that you can choose to contribute a certain percentage of your income before tax is paid on it. As for interest, well, you choose a particular type of fund, which has a different level of return depending on the level of risk. And access? Well, not before you turn 60 years old. As I said, it’s a retirement scheme.14．正确答案：transaction15．正确答案：bonus (interest)16．正确答案：Simple Saver17．正确答案：(the) thirtieth/30th (of) June/30 June/June 3018．正确答案：secure19．正确答案：Bonds20．正确答案：income听力原文：PROFESSOR: Come in and sit down, Louise...Stuart. I suppose you’re wondering why I’ve asked you both to come here today?LOUISE: Well, we’ve heard rumors...PROFESSOR: Forget the turnouts. I’ll get straight down to business. You know that I’m organising a conference on 17th Century English Literature...STUART: Yes, but...PROFESSOR: Well, I’ve arranged for three keynote speakers and I’ve invited 25 panellists so that we can have five panel discussions and I want you two to organize one of the panel discussions.LOUISE: But we haven’t done that before. Is it like a team presentation?PROFESSOR: No, the purpose is quite different. In a team presentation the group presents agreed-upon views--as you have both done at the end of a group project.LOUISE: Yes...PROFESSOR: Well, in a panel discussion the purpose is to put forward different views. We want to expose the audience to several different viewpoints at the same session. It can help the audience evaluate their own positions regarding specific issues. And, if it’s well conducted, it’s usually more interesting than a single-speaker forum.21．What period of English literature will the conference cover?正确答案：17th/seventeenth century22．How many panel discussions have been arranged?正确答案：5/five23．What is the aim of a panel discussion? To present ______正确答案：(different) views/viewpoints/opinions/positions听力原文：STUART: And, what exactly do we have to do?PROFESSOR: Well, you’ll take the role of leader or moderator and assistant.LOUISE: Is that like the role of chairman?PROFESSOR: Yes, that’s it.STUART: Sounds daunting.PROFESSOR: Not at all. I’ve already done a great deal of the preparation myself. Let me run through the procedure with you. I’ve singled out an issue that will entail quite some conflict of opinion. I’ve selected panelists who are well-informed and will probably have contradictory points of view. That’s very important, you know.LOUISE: Actually, I feel a bit nervous--how many panelists will there be?PROFESSOR: Well, I’ve invited five panelists for each panel because that’s probably the maximum number that an inexperienced moderator can handle. But don’t worry, I always invite morethan we need because you can be sure someone won’t be able to make it--so you’ll probably just end up with four, which is a very manageable number.STUART: Oh, I see.PROFESSOR: And I’ve chosen a moderator—that’s you, by the way.LOUISE: Ah...but...Stuart will help, right?PROFESSOR: Yes. I’ll get onto time-keeping and what-not, shortly. That’s where an assistant is indispensable.STUART: But what procedure do we follow to conduct the panel discussion?PROFESSOR: Don’t worry. I was just about to say. I’ve also settled on the format.STUART: What is it?PROFESSOR: There are various formats that can be followed but I’ve always found this one to be very effective.STUART: Yes?PROFESSOR: Okay, make some notes on these guidelines as I run through them and ask me questions about anything you don’t understand.STUART: We’re ready.PROFESSOR: Firstly, the moderator introduces the topic and the panelists.LOUISE: But we don’t know who the panelists are.PROFESSOR: Don’t worry—I’ve prepared a short biographical introduction for each one of them and I’ll give you that information tomorrow.LOUISE: Oh, good.PROFESSOR: Next, the panelists are given a set amount of time to present their views on the topic. I’d say, about two minutes each should be sufficient. Now, this is where Stuart’s time-keeping is going to be important. You have to keep to the schedule all the way through because the lecture room has only been booked for an hour.STUART: How do I indicate when the time is up?PROFESSOR: You stand off to one side of the panel either with your back to the audience or hidden from the audience but in full view of the panel and moderator. You have a digital clock or timer and you hold up the appropriate number of fingers to give the number of minutes. When the time is up, you make a cutting gesture with your hand.LOUISE: Ah...but...what if the panelists keep talking?PROFESSOR: Then, that’s your job to politely intervene and move on to the next segment which is the discussion itself. Panelists discuss, ask questions and react to the opinions of other panel members. This, of course, is their primary function and should occupy about 60% of the allotted time.LOUISE: Stuart will watch the time, right?PROFESSOR: Yes, because you’ll be making brief notes.LOUISE: Why?PROFESSOR: Well, when the time’s up, the moderator shuts down the debate and provides a summary of the discussion.LOUISE: Oh, and then it’s over?PROFESSOR: Well, no, the secondary function of the panel is to answer questions from the audience and that should take up the remaining 15 to 20 minutes. It’s the leader’s role to recognize appropriate questions and reject those not related to the subject. During the question period you must maintain strict control and this will most likely be the toughest part of the whole job.LOUISE: Oh, dear.PROFESSOR: Stuart will of course help you here by ensuring that as many people as possible have a chance to ask their questions and that no one member of the audience tries to dominate. With about 5 minutes to go, he’ll announce that there’s time for only a couple more questions, then announce “last question”.LOUISE: And then it’s over?PROFESSOR: Not quite. You still have to acknowledge the involvement of the panelists and invite your audience to thank them with a round of applause.STUART: Should I clap too?PROFESSOR: Yes, you should both take part in the applause.Complete the notes below.

The topic today is hydropower. As you most probably know, ‘hydro’means water—so we are talking about using water to generate electricity. Of course, there are many ways to generate electricity but hydropower is important to the community, firstly and obviously, because it’s renewable. The earth’s hydrologic cycle of constant evaporation and transpiration provides a continual supply of water from rainfall and snowmelt. The second point to consider is its efficiency. Hydropower plants are able to convertapproximately 90% of the energy from the falling water into electric energy whereas many fossil-fuelled plants lose more than half of the energy content of their fuel by way of waste heat and gases. For this reason they are very efficient. Hydropower is also clean. It doesn’t emit harmful gases that contribute to air pollution, acid rain, and global warming. No trucks, trains or pipelines are needed to bring fuel to the site and there’s no noise pollution either. Furthermore, hydropower plant machinery is fairly simple and runs at slow speeds, which makes it reliable and durable. And, hydropower units are flexible also—they have the ability to start quickly and adjust rapidly to changes in demand for electricity, thus enabling them to meet peak loads. But this also allows them to serve as reserve capacity and bring more stability to the power system overall. The dams that provide hydroelectric power also have other uses such as navigation, flood damage reduction, water supply, recreation, irrigation and low flow augmentation but it’s not the purpose of this talk to go into those details. How do the hydropower plants work? Well, a dam is built across a river which captures water to form a reservoir and raises the water level to create ‘head’. Think of ‘head’ as the vertical distance that the water falls as it passes through the dam, in other words, the difference in water level between the reservoir behind the dam and the river below. Water from the reservoir flows through an intake gate into a penstock —this is kind of a narrow channel which leads to the turbine below. The force of the water causes the turbine to rotate rapidly which, in turn, drives the generator to spin and produce electricity. The electricity is carried the long distances from the powerhouse to substations on the outskirts of cities via power lines. Can you build a hydropower unit on any river? Well, no, just having water in a river isn’t enough. A good dam site must have enough stream flow as well as enough head. A fast flowing river on the plains is probably not suitable because a dam couldn’t be built high enough to provide the head needed for efficient production of electricity. On the other hand, dams in arid high country may have plenty of head but insufficient stream flow. The perfect spot for a hydropower plant is where the right combination of stream flow and head exists. What about the environment? Surely the construction of large dams has an environmental impact? Well, yes it does. Certainly dams and reservoirs are built to improve the lives of people living in towns, farming communities and cities. But there must be a balance between development and preserving the natural environment. Needless to say, the natural river environment is changed which leads to changes in river ecology and aquatic habitat. Sometimes, for example, dissolved oxygen levels below dams get so low in summer that there is a negative impact on aquatic life. These levels can be improved, however, by using special aerating turbines and/or injecting oxygen directly into the stream flow. In order to protect and improve the habitat for endangered and other species of birds, fish and water life, there needs to be a thorough review of operating plans to see if a better balance can be achieved. Hydropower plant design and operation must not only meet the needs of consumers for electricity but work hand-in-hand with agencies whose concern is for the fish and wildlife, water quality and water supply.Complete the notes below.

I’m interested in doing a course in paragliding.Man: Which course are you interested in?Maria: Well, I’m not sure. What’s available?Man: Well ... we’ve got the introductory course which lasts for two days.Maria: OK.Man: Or there’s the 4-day beginners’ course which is what most people do first. I’d tend to recommend that one. And there’s also the elementary pilot course which takes five to six days depending on conditions.Maria: We might try the beginner’s course. What sort of prices are we looking at?Man: The introductory is ＄190; the beginner’s course, which is probably what you’d be looking at, is ＄320 - no, sorry 330 - it’s just gone up - and the pilot course is ＄430.Maria: Right.Man: And you also have to become a member of our club so that you’re insured. That’ll cost you ＄12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.Maria: Does that cover me if I break a leg?Man: No, I’m afraid not - it’s only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings, but not theft or injury. You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.Maria: I see! And what’s the best way to get to your place? By public transport or could we come by bike? We’re pretty keen cyclists.Man: It’s difficult by public transport though there is a bus from Newcastle; most people get here by car, though, cos we’re a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I’ll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What’s your name?Maria: Maria Gentle.Man: And your address, Maria?Maria: Well, I’m a student staying with a family in Newcastle.Man: So it’s care of ...Maria: Care of Mr and Mrs. McDonald.Man: Like the hamburgers!Maria: Yes, exactly.Man: McDonald ...Maria: The post office box address is probably best. It’s R.O. Box 676, Newcastle.Man: Is there a fax number there, because I could fax you the information?Maria: Yes, actually, there is. It’s 0249 that’s for Newcastle and then double seven five four three one.Man: OK. Now if you decide to do one of our courses, you’ll need to book in advance and to pay when you book. How would you be paying?Maria: Uh ... by credit card if that’s OK. Do you take Visa?Man: Yes, fine. We take all major cards, including Visa.Maria: OK then. Thanks very much.Maria: Hi, Pauline.Pauline: Hi, Maria! What’s that you’re reading?Maria: Just some information from a paragliding school-it looks really good fun. Do you fancy a go at paragliding?Pauline: Sure! Do you have to buy lots of equipment and stuff?Maria: Not really. The school provides the equipment but we’d have to take a few things along.Pauline: Such as?Maria: Well, it says here. ‘Clothes: wear stout boots’, so no sneakers or sandals I suppose, and ‘clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt.’ That’s probably in-case you land in the stinging nettles! It also says we should bring a packed lunch. We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee. Water is really the best thing to drink. Er...we need to bring suntan lotion and something to protect your head from the sun!Pauline: OK that sounds reasonable. And where would we stay?Maria: Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too, because it says here that it’s only ＄10 a day to pitch a tent. That’d be fine, wouldn’t it? And that way we’d save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money.Pauline: Um... or perhaps we could stay in a bed-and- breakfast nearby. It gives a couple of names here we could ring. I think I might prefer that. Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm and I don’t fancy a caravan.Maria: No, I agree. But let’s take a tent and pray for good weather.Pauline: OK - let’s do it. What about next weekend?Maria: No, I can’t - I’m going on a geography field trip.Pauline: ... and then it’s the weekend before the exams and I really do need to study.Maria: OK, then. Let’s make it the one after the exams.Pauline: Fine - we’ll need a break by then. Can you ring and let me know ...SECTION 1 Questions 1-10Questions 1-3Listen to the telephone conversation between a student and the owner of a paragliding school and answer the questions below.Circle the correct letters A-D.1．How much is the beginner’s course?A．＄190B．＄320C．＄330D．＄430正确答案：C2．What does the club insurance cover?A．injury to yourselfB．injury to your equipmentC．damage to other people’s propertyD．loss of personal belongings正确答案：C3．How do the girls want to travel?A．public transportB．private busC．carD．bicycle正确答案：DQuestions 4-7Complete the form below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.4．【4】正确答案：McDonald/Macdonald/MacDonald5．【5】正确答案：Post Office Box/PO Box 6766．【6】正确答案：7754317．【7】正确答案：credit card/Visa8．Question 8Circle TWO letters A-G.Which TWO of the following items must people take with them?[A] sandals[B] old clothes[C] pullover[D] shirt with long sleeves[E] soft drinks[F] hat正确答案：DF解析：你必须选对两个答案才能得分。

Come in. How are you settling in next door? Have all your things from Canada arrived yet? I thought I saw a removals van outside your house yesterday afternoon.MRS SUTTON: Yes. They came yesterday. We spent all day yesterday arranging them. It’s beginning to feel a bit more like home now.MRS SMITH: That’s good. Look, come in and sit down. Are you alright? You look a bit worried.MRS SUTTON: Well, I am a bit. I’m sorry to bother you so early, Mrs Smith, but I wonder if you could help me. Could you tell me how I can get hold of a doctor? Our daughter, Anna, isn’t very well this morning and I may have Q11 to call somebody out. She keeps being sick and I am beginning to get a bit worried. I just don’t know how the health system works here in England. All I know is that it’s very different from ours back in Canada.MRS SMITH: Well, I don’t know really where to start. Let me think. Well, the first thing you have to do is find a family doctor sometimes we call them general practitioners as well - and register with him or her. If you live here, you’ve got to be on a doctor’s list. If you’re not, things can be a bit difficult. Nobody will come out to you if you’re not registered. Anyway, they work Q12 in things called practices. Sort of small groups of family doctors all working together in the same building. Now what you’ve got to do this morning is register with one of them. There are two practices near here, so we’re quite well off for doctors in this part of Manchester. There’s the Dean End Health Centre about ten minutes’ walk away and there’s another practice in South Hay. That’s about five minutes away going towards the town centre. We’re registered at the Dean End one, but they’re both OK. There are about six doctors in Q13 our practice and four in the other. So ours is quite big in comparison. Q14 And the building and everything’s a bit more modern. South Hay is a bit old-fashioned but the doctors are OK. Their only problem is that they Q15 don’t have a proper appointment system. Sometimes you have to wait for ages there to see someone. Anyway, you go to the receptionist in whichever health centre and ask her to register you with a doctor there. You have to fill in a form, but it doesn’t take long. Ours is called Dr Jones and we’ve been going to him for years - ever since we moved here fifteen years ago. I wouldn’t say he’s brilliant but I suppose he’s alright really. We’re used to him now. They say Q16 he’s very good with elderly people, but he does tend to get a bit impatient with children. Listen, the one who’s supposed to be really good with small children is Dr Shaw. I’ve heard lots of people say that. She’s young and she’s got small children of her own. So you could try registering with her. And if her list is full,I heard somebody say the other day that there’s a really nice young doctor at South Hay, a Dr Williams. He holds special Q17 clinics for people with back trouble. But that’s not really your problem, is it?MRS SMITH: If you want a doctor to visit you at home, you have to ask for a home visit. You’re supposed to do that before 10.30 in the morning, but obviously, if it’s an emergency, you can phone at any time, night or day. It might not be your doctor that comes, though. It’s quite often one of the other doctors in the practice. It doesn’t really seem to make much difference. Otherwise you make an appointment to see your doctor at the health centre. You usually get seen the same day. Not always of course, but usually, as I say. They hold surgeries between 9 and 11.30 every weekday, Q18 and from 4 to 6.30 Monday to Thursday. Saturdays are only for emergencies. When the doctor sees you, he gives you a prescription. He writes what medication you need on it and you take it to a chemist’s shop. There’s one opposite the centre. If it’s for a child under 16, you don’t have to pay. So if it’s for Anna, there’s no problem. The same thing goes if you’re unemployed or retired, Q19 or if you’re pregnant. Just as well because it’s not cheap. You pay the same price for each item the doctor has prescribed. At the moment it’s Q20 something like ￡5 per item. So you pay for the medication but the consultation with the doctor doesn’t cost you anything. It’s completely free as long as you’re a resident here. You’re going to be here for three years, aren’t you? So there shouldn’t be any question of you paying anything to see the doctor. So that’s one less problem to worry about. Look, Mrs Sutton. If you want, I’ll sit with your daughter for half an hour if you want to go down to the health centre to register. It’s no trouble really, don’t worry.MRS SUTTON: Are you sure you wouldn’t mind? That would really help me a lot. I’ll ask them if they can send someone round later to see Anna. I think I’ll try the Dean End Centre.MRS SMITH: Good idea. Don’t worry about Anna.MRS SUTTON: Right. I’ll be back as soon as I can.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11 and 12Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.11．Who is Mrs Sutton worried about?正确答案：(her) daughter (Anna)12．What is the name for a group of family doctors working in the same building together?正确答案：(a) practiceQuestions 13-17Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS OR A NUMBER for each answer.13．【13】正确答案：(about) 614．【14】正确答案：(about) 415．【15】正确答案：better16．【16】正确答案：elderly17．【17】正确答案：back problems/troubleQuestions 18-20Question 18Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR A NUMBER.Doctors start seeing patients at the Health Centre from 【18】______ o’clock.18．【18】正确答案：nine/9 o’clock19．Question 19Choose TWO letters A-E.Which TWO groups of patients receive free medication?[A]people over 17 years old[B]unemployed people[C]non-UK residents[D]people over 60 years old[E]pregnant women正确答案：B/E20．Question 20Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR A NUMBER.The charge for one item of medication is about ￡【20】______正确答案：(￡) 5听力原文：TUTOR: Hello.

Paula...PAULA CLAYBURG: Do you know what Prince Charles, Seve Ballesteros and Elizabeth Taylor have in common? They all suffer from chronic back pain. In fact, bad backs are one of the most common health problems today, affecting people in all walks of life. The most recent available figures show that about a quarter of a million people are incapacitated with 【Q31】back pain every day. And many sufferers don’t know the cause or the solution to their problem. The majority of our patients at the clinic tend to be women. They are especially vulnerable because of pregnancy but also because of osteoporosis, which I personally believe to be the major cause of problems for women. I have many women patients who say they have 【Q32】completely given up exercise because the pain makes them so miserable. But of course that starts up a vicious circle. Bedrest, giving up exercise and pain killers are traditional responses to back pain but, although there are many excellent drugs on the market, at our clinic we are beginning to realise the unique benefits of relaxation therapy. Other 【Q33】specialists in the field make a strong case for certain types of exercise, but in our experience they are easily mishandled and can lead to more harm than good. Now, let’s look at some of the reasons why back pain is developing into such a unique menace. In general, the body is pretty good at self- repair. A strain or a blow to a limb, though painful at the time, generally resolves itself. But the body’s response to back injury can be very counter-productive. When pain strikes, we attempt to keep the 【Q34】back as immobile as possible, which makes the muscles tense up. Research shows that they often go into spasm, which causes further twisting of the spine. A vicious circle is underway. The second mistake we often make when stricken with extreme back pain is to go to bed and stay there. Although at the clinic we recognise that a short rest in bed can be helpful.., up to two days.., any longer 【Q35】makes our back muscles become weaker and unable to hold up our spine. The pain therefore becomes worse. Another problem is being overweight. Anyone a stone or more over- 【Q36】weight who already has back pain is not doing himself any favours: though it won’t actually set it off in the first place, the weight will increase the strain and make things worse. The British diet could be partially to blame for the increase in back pain: over the last ten years the average weight of men has risen by 11 lbs and of women by 9 lbs. So much for the causes and aggravations of pain. But what can WE do to help? There are many ways in which simple day-to-day care can make all the difference. The first point to watch of course is weight. If you are overweight, a diet will make all the difference. Also, studies have shown that just one hour sitting in a slouched position can strain ligaments in the back which can take months to heal. At the clinic we have come to the conclusion that the major cause of the problem is not with the design of chairs, as some have suggested, but in the way WE sit in them. It can be useful to get special orthopaedic 【Q37】chairs, but remember the most important improvement should be in OUR posture. Another enemy of your back is, of course, your beds. If your bed doesn’t give enough support, back muscles and ligaments work all night trying to correct spinal alignment, so you wake up with a tired aching back. Try out an orthopaedic mattress or a spring slatted bed. Research shows that both can be beneficial for certain types of back pain. Another hazard for your back are the shock waves which travel up your spine when you walk, known as heel strike. A real find for our patients has been the shock-absorbing shoe insert. A cheap but very 【Q38】effective solution. And you might be better off avoiding shoes with heels higher than 1 1/2A inches. Though absolutely flat shoes can be a solution for some, others find their posture suffers. 【Q39】Finally a word about the state-of-the-art relief - the TENS machine - a small battery-powered gadget which delivers subliminal electrical pulses to the skin. Our experience indicates that your money is better 【Q40】spent on the more old-fashioned remedies.SECTION 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-36Choose the correct letters A-C.31．Which column of the bar chart represents the figures quoted?A．AB．BC．C正确答案：A32．According to the speaker, the main cause of back pain in women is ______.A．pregnancy.B．osteoporosis.C．lack of exercise正确答案：B33．As treatment for back pain the Clinic mainly recommends ______.A．pain killers.B．relaxation therapy.C．exercise routines.正确答案：B34．The back is different from other parts of the body because ______.A．it is usually better at self-repair.B．a back injury is usually more painful.C．its response to injury often results in more damage.正确答案：C35．Bed rest is advised ______.A．for a maximum of two days.B．for extreme pain only.C．for pain lasting more than two days.正确答案：A36．Being overweight ______.A．is a major source of back pain.B．worsens existing back pain.C．reduces the effectiveness of exercise.正确答案：BQuestions 37-40Choose the correct letters A-C.[A] Strongly recommended[B] Recommended in certain circumstances[C] Not recommended37．Buy special orthopaedic chairs A．Strongly recommended B．Recommended in certain circumstances C．Not recommended正确答案：B38．Buy shock-absorbing inserts A．Strongly recommended B．Recommended in certain circumstances C．Not recommended正确答案：A39．Wear flat shoesA．Strongly recommended B．Recommended in certain circumstances C．Not recommended正确答案：B40．Buy TENS machineA．Strongly recommended B．Recommended in certain circumstances C．Not recommended正确答案：C。

The one I havechosen to tall to you about today is what I consider our best tour—it will take you from coast to mountain and back again. You’ll spend a memorable and very comfortable day traveling in air-conditioned luxury. You’ll see from our brochure that we have four pick-up stops along the coast and, about twenty minutes after we pick up our last passenger for the day, we’ll be stopping off briefly at a magnificent housing development, marina and shopping complex—you’ll be able to admire some of the most expensive and lavish houses on the coast—and here we’ll take a quick walk around the waterfront. Now, despite its name, Hope Island, we can reach it without getting our feet wet or taking a boat ride. Hope Island is connected to the mainland by bridges. From there we head inland to the beautiful Tambourine Mountain. You’ll have time to browse in the many specialty shops or you can sit and relax at a friendly outdoor café. We board the bus again and pass through an old timber-milling town on our way to O’Reilly’s Green Mountains. Once there, you might wish to venture across the famous tree top walk which is a bridge suspended in the canopy of a rain forest—definitely not for the faint-hearted! If you’re not up to the excitement of this walk, or perhaps after you’ve done it, why not enjoy lunch on the balcony of O’Reilly’s restaurant? Before we leave, you’ll have time for a stroll through the Botanical Gardens or perhaps you’d like to feed the beautiful parrots and other birds—we’ll supply the birdseed. From O’Reilly’s we travel to an alpaca farm for a demonstration and of course there’ll be a photo opportunity for you with these gorgeous animals before returning to the coach for the journey back to your original departure point.11．The coach is comfortable because it is ______.正确答案：air-conditioned12．After all passengers are aboard, the coach will make its first stop at ______ Island.正确答案：Hope13．The ‘Tree Top Walk’ is above a ______.正确答案：rain forest14．Passengers will have a ______ with the alpacas before boarding the bus for home.正确答案：photo opportunity听力原文：If I’ve persuaded any of you to sign up for this tour, take a look at our Dreamtime Tours brochure. You’ll see that you can book over the telephone or you can make reservations through the reception desk. We generally have a member ofstaff manning the desk from 7.30 am to 9 pm every day of the week. Don’t hesitate to ask reception staff any questions that you might have about this tour, or any other tour, and be sure to make it known if you have any special needs. We’ll do our best to make your trip rewarding and worthwhile. If this is the tour you want, be sure to specify Green Mountain Tour and note that these excursions are full day tours on three days of the week only: Sunday, Monday and Frida~although we’re hoping to have a Saturday tour available by next year. You’ll see that fares are extremely reasonable with each adult paying just 37 dollars. Now, that’s not bad for a trip of around 280 kilometers, is it? If you want to bring the family, obviously the family pass is great value at 94 dollars—that includes two adults and two children--but if you are an older adult, over 65, in other words, a senior citizen, your fare is discounted too—you’ll pay a bit less than the full adult rate. Please note the departure times—we adhere to these strictly—the coach will leave the southern most point of Coolangatta at ten to eight sharp, travel through Burleigh and on to Surfers Paradise, which is our most popular pick-up point, departing from there at half past eight in the morning. At a quarter to nine we make our last pick-up at Labrador. May I remind you to dress appropriately for the day—ladies, no high heels, please. Comfortable walking shoes are what is required and I always recommend that everyone takes a light jacket because the mountain air can be quite cool compared to the heat and humidity of the coastal regions. Oh, something else I should remind you of—the prices quoted in the brochure are just for coach travel, although we can arrange for a mini-bus to collect you from your accommodation and bring you to the departure point free of charge. If you want to avail yourself of this service, be sure to let the booking clerk know. You will need to bring along extra cash or a credit card to cover expenses such as optional side-trips, food and drink and, of course, entrance fees to the various attractions. Well, that’s all I have time to tell you—if you have further enquiries, please use the phone number on the brochure.15．正确答案：reception desk16．正确答案：Green Mountain17．正确答案：senior citizen18．正确答案：8.30am19．正确答案：coach travel20．正确答案：entrance fees听力原文：LIAISON: Come in and sit down, Lester...Sharon. I can see you’re keen to know more. To start with, I’d just like to say that we value volunteers highly and recognize their importance and assistance in the provision of quality education.LESTER: Thank you...we’re looking forward to helping out, but what exactly can we do?LIAISON: V olunteers can undertake a range of tasks...in general they enrich the English language programmed and complement the contributions of salaried staff members...SHARON: Yes, but...what would we do specifically?LIAISON: Oh, a variety of tasks, for instance, you can tutor individual students in reading...LESTER: I thought that might be the case...LIAISON: But...you can also help students edit their written responses.LESTER: Great...Is that also a one-on-one activity?LIAISON: Oh, yes, definitely; but volunteers are also called on to assist in designated classes...SHARON: And, what exactly would we do there?LIAISON: Well, it depends on the class of course, but usually you take on the role of an assistant.LESTER: A teacher’s assistant?LIAISON: Yes, that’s it.SHARON: Sounds like fun and good preparation for our own careers.LIAISON: Then, an enormous area of assistance is developing students’organizational skills.LESTER: Yes, I can imagine that’s why some of them are struggling in the first place.LIAISON: There’s also the special needs unit. They always need volunteers there.SHARON: But we have no training in special needs.LIAISON: That’s not necessary. These students just really appreciate having any extra attention—sometimes help with the simplest things...like holding a pen correctly.LESTER: Ah...well, that’s something all able-bodied students should learn. I’ve noticed some of the strangest pen grips amongst my peers and I’m sure they must end up with sore hand or shoulder muscles at the end of the day.LIAISON: Yes. I’m sure you’re right. The other task I’d like you two to help out with is encouraging and improving the students’ work ethic.SHARON: Oh, I can’t imagine that’ll be easy!LIAISON: No, but it is important, and I can give you some training in that field.LESTER: That’ll be good.LIAISON: I should also point out that you’ll be working alongside quality teachers at times who are not only caring role-models but excellent motivators.SHARON: Well, we should learn a lot from them.LIAISON: Yes, the teachers you’ll be assigned to are innovative and very responsive to the different needs of individual students.LESTER: If that’s true, they must be adept at a variety of teaching styles.LIAISON: Quite right. You know, part of my mission is to forge close partnerships between experienced teachers and trainees like yourselves. As far as I can see everyone has something to gain from the exchangeof information and skills--not just the students you’re helping.21．According to the liaison officer, what do volunteers help provide?正确答案：quality education22．What can volunteers help students check and correct?正确答案：written responses23．What aspect of students’ self-management can volunteers assist greatly with improving?正确答案：organisational skills24．What will volunteers try to develop in the students so that they exert themselves more?正确答案：work ethic25．What is it that teachers have that allows them to respond to individual student requirements?

Anxiety is something you’ve all experienced at some time in your life so you’ll know that it’s an emotional condition in which feelings of dread, fear and mental agitation predominate. However, what we call an anxiety state, or anxiety neurosis or phobic state—they all mean the same thing—is characterized by anxiety reactions far greater than those normally expected for the circumstances and these reactions may be severe and prolonged. This is the most common form of neurosis in westernized countries. Usually, normal anxietydecreases with repeated exposure to the feared situation whereas a neurotic anxiety tends to increase. Gradually the person is inclined to avoid the feared situation and views it with increasing dread. Sometimes there may be an inherited tendency for this, but usually environmental issues are more important. The individual may have been a worrier throughout life and a stressful condition, just before symptoms set in, is common. Often there is a gradual build-up of anxiety, possibly for weeks or months, before the ultimate break occurs. The precipitating cause is usually one of great significance to the patient, often related to personal events—such as bereavement, a break-up, threats to career, health or personal integrity. What are the symptoms of phobia? Well, phobic states often develop into severe, crippling challenges that can be very difficult to overcome. The person develops a fear of certain situations. It’s not uncommon to have one or more of these present at the same time. I’m going to name some frequent phobias and give you a description of their symptoms: Let’s start with Agoraphobia which is when the person has an intense anxiety about venturing outside the safety of the normal home surroundings. It may be impossible for this person to ever go out alone. Their fear of public or open spaces is completely irrational and they often end up leading very secluded lives. Claustrophobia, on the other hand, is a morbid fear of closed-in areas or places—if you see me taking the stairs instead of the lift, think about it—am I trying to get more exercise or am I trying to avoid the confined interior of the lift? And I’m sure you all know people who are afraid of flying—sometimes it’s the fear of being enclosed in the aero plane itself—and you can imagine how the cramped confines of airline toilets are really bad news for these sufferers. Now, I’ll move on to discuss Social phobia which, believe it or not, is more common in men. It’s an acute anxiety that develops when they are in the presence of others. They feel self-conscious, apprehensive and embarrassed. If attention (real or imagined) is focused on the sufferer, he becomes uneasy and may blush, stammer or stutter. Some sufferers even develop tremors—shaking or trembling movements of a part (or parts) of the body—or, another very common sign of their extreme discomfort is that they perspire profusely on their palms, under their arms or on their feet. That brings me to the last one that I want to mention today and that is Single phobia—and no, it’s not a fear of lifelong bachelorhood! This one is actually precipitated by an acute aversion to dogs, cats, spiders—you may have heard of the term, arachnophobia? Well it applies specifically to spiders—but any single thing can basically cause a strong aversion: snakes, frogs, mice or rats, for instance. I can assure you, the list is unlimited. You name it, and someone is sure to have a phobia about it. Some people are terrified of the dark, for example, and I’m not talking about young children here. You’d be surprised how many adults are afflicted in this way. Well, I see our time is up. Next week, I’ll go into some of the treatments and therapies for phobias that have been used over the ages and some of the relatively new drugs that have recently come on the scene.31．Someone in an anxiety state has worse ______ than normal.正确答案：anxiety reactions32．A phobia may stem from heredity or ______.正确答案：environmental issues33．The reason for the final breakdown is generally linked with ______ like the loss of a loved one or a health crisis.正确答案：personal eventsMatch the phobic state in the box to the symptoms below.
