We lost business.M: I think we both made mistakes. The responsibility is on both sides.W: Ok, let’s suggest a new solution. How about a 40% cut in fee, or a free repeat campaign?M: Well, let’s take a break, we’re not getting very far. Perhaps we should think about this.22: What do we learn about the man’s company?23: Why was the campaign delayed according to the man?24: What does the woman propose as a solution to the problem?25: What does the man suggest they do at the end of the conversation?Section BPassage OneThe University of Tennessee’s Walters Life Sciences building, is a model animal facility, spotlessly clean,careful in obtaining prior approval for experiments from an animal care committee.Of the 15,000mice house there in a typical year,most give their lives for humanity. These are good mice and as such won the protection of the animal care committee.At any given time however some mice escape and run free.These mice are pests.They can disrupt experiments with the bacteria organisms they carry.They are bad mice and must be captured and destroyed. Usually,this is accomplished by means of sticky traps, a kind of fly paper on which they become increasingly stuck.But the real point of the cautionary tale,says animal behaviorist Herzau,is that the labels we put on things can affect our moral responses to ing stick traps or the more deadly snap traps would be deemed unacceptable for good mice.Yet the killing of bad mice requires no prior approval.Once the research animal hits the floor and becomes an escapee,says Herza,its moral standard is instantly diminished.In Herzau’s own home,there was more ironic example when his young son’s pet mouse Willy died recently,it was accorded a tearful ceremonial burial in garden.Yet even as they mourned Willy,says Herzau,he and his wife were setting snap traps to kill the pest mice in their kitchen with the bare change in labels from pet to pest,the kitchen mice obtained totally different moral standardsQuestions:26, What does the passage say about most of the mice used for experiments?27, Why did the so-called bad mice have to be captured and destroyed?28, When are mice killed without prior approval?29, Why does the speaker say what the Herzau’s did at home is ironical?Passage TwoThere are roughly three New Yorks.There is,first,the New York of the man or woman who was born here,who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable.Second,there is the New York of the commuter —the city that is swallowed up by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something.Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last,the city of final destination,the city that has a goal.It is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition,its poetical deportment,its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable muters give the city its tidal restlessness;natives give it solidity and continuity;but the settlers give it passion.And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum,or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors,or a boy arriving from theCorn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart,it makes no difference:each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love,each absorbs New York with the fresh eyes of an adventurer, each generates heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company.Questions30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. What does the speaker say about the natives of New York?31. What does the speaker say commuters give to New York?32. What do we learn about the settlers of New York?Passage Three“If you asked me television is unhealthy”,I said to my roommate Walter,as I walked into the living room. “While you are sitting passively in front of the TV set, your muscles are turning to fat, your complexion is fading,and your eyesight is being ruined.”“Shh~”Walter put his finger to his lips, “This is an intriguing murder mystery.”“Really?” I replied.“But you know,the brain is destroyed by TV viewing.Creativity is killed by that box.And people are kept from communicating with one another.From my point of view,TV is the cause of the declining interest in school and the failure of our entire educational system. ”“Ah ha,I can’t see your point.”Walter said softly.“But see?The woman on the witness stand in this story is being questioned about the murder that was committed one hundred years ago. ”Ignoring his enthusiastic description of the plot, I went on with my argument.“As I see it,” I explained, “not only are most TV programs badly written and produced, but viewers are also manipulated by the mass media.As far as I am concerned,TV watchers are cut off from reality from nature,from the other people,from life itself!I was confident in my ability to persuade.After a short silence, my roommate said, “Anyway, I’ve been planning to watch the football game.I am going to change the channel.”“Don’t touch that dial!” I shouted, “I wanted to find out how the mystery turns out!”I am not sure I got my point to cross.Questions 33- 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. As the speaker walked into the living room, what was being shown on TV?34. What does the speaker say about watching television?35. What can we say about the speaker?Section C Compound DictationIn the past,one of the biggest disadvantages of machines has been their inability to work on a micro scale.For example,doctors did not have devices allowing them to go inside the human body to detect health problems or to perform delicate surgery.Repair crews did not have a way of identifying broken pipes located deep within a high-rise apartment building.However, that’s about to change.Advances in computers and biophysics have started a micro miniature revolution that allows scientists to envision and in some cases actually build microscopic machines.These devices promise to dramatically change the way we live and work.Micromachines already are making an impact.At Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, research scientists have designed a 4-inch silicon chip that holds 700 tiny primitive motors. At Lucas Nova Sensor in Fremont, California, scientists have perfected the world’s first microscopic blood-pressure sensor.Threaded through a person’s blood vessels,the sensor can provide blood pressure readings at the valve of the heart itself.Although simple versions of miniature devices have had an impact, advanced versions are still several years away.Auto manufacturers, for example, are trying to use tiny devices that can sense when to release an airbag and how to keep engines and breaks operating efficiently .Some futurists envision nanotechnology also being used to explore the deep sea in small submarine, or even to launch finger-sized rockets packed with micro miniature instruments.“There is an explosion of new ideas and applications,”So,when scientists now think about future machines doing large and complex tasks,they’re thinking smaller than ever before.Listening Comprehension 短对话听力答案11.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?【答案】A) Listen to the recorded notes while driving.12.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?【答案】C) The man lacks confidence in playing the part.13.Q: What are the speakers talking about?【答案】A) Arranging a bed for a patient.14.Q: What does the man mean?【答案】A) He is too busy to accept more responsibility.Section A11.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?【答案】A) Listen to the recorded notes while driving.12.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?【答案】C) The man lacks confidence in playing the part.13.Q: What are the speakers talking about?【答案】A) Arranging a bed for a patient14.Q: What does the man mean?【答案】A) He is too busy to accept more responsibility.15.Q: what do we learn about Jame Smeil?【答案】C) He has left his position in the government.16.Q: what can we infer from this conversation?【答案】D) The man is well informed about the space shuttle missions.17.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?【答案】A) At a car renting companySection BPassage One【材料评析】本篇文章主要是讲述人们对待老鼠不同的道德态度。

In fact, I have some really lovely retired ladies, living by themselves, who just love the company of students.

See you tomorrow – after lunch would be better for me.SARA: OK, see you then. Bye.SECTION 2GEOFFREY: Good evening, and in this week’s edition of ‘Focus on the Arts’, Jane Hemmington is going to fill us in on what’s in store for us at this year’s Summer Festival. Over to you,Jane.JANE: Thank you, Geoffrey. This year, the Summer Festival is the biggest we’ve ever seen, so there should be something for everybody. This is the third year they’ve run it and the timing’s slightly different: for the last couple of years it’s been around the fifth to seventeenth, but this year they wanted to allow everyone enough time to recover from the first of January celebrations and they’ve put it (Q11) at the end of the month.The programme has sensational theatre, dance and also a large number of art exhibitions, but the thing the Festival is most famous for is its great street music. For today’s report though, Geoffrey, I’m looking at some of the (Q12) theatrical events that you might like to see; in particular, at this year’s theme – circuses.I’m going to tell you about two circus performances, but there are (Q13) plenty of others in the progralmme. I’ve chosen these because they represent distinct movements within circus performance. The first is the Circus Romano from Italy. As this is a travelling circus, it follows a long tradition by performing (Q14) in a marquee– which is really like a canvas portable building, usually put up in a green space or car park, rather than in a theatre or stadium.In spite of this, Circus Romano isn’t at all like the traditional circuses I grew up with. There are no animals – just very talented clowning and acrobatic routines. The show has a lot of very funny moments, especially at the beginning, but the best part is the music and (Q15) lighting. They’re magical. At forty-five dollars it’s very expensive anyway – it’s really for (Q16) adult tastes. In fact, much of it would be wasted on children – so I suggest you leave them at home.The second circus performance is Circus Electrica at the (Q17) Studio Theatre. The purists are suggesting that this isn’t a circus at all. It’s a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than the usual ones you expect in a circus. With only six performers it’s a small production, which suits the venue well – the Studio only seats about two hundred people. For my money it’s the aerial displays which are outstanding as well as the magical tricks – features which are missing from Circus Romano. An interesting feature of the show is that the performers are so young – the youngest is only fourteen. But it’s still well worth seeing: a good one for (Q18) the whole family.And finally, as it’s summer, you may wish to see some of the Festival performances that are being presented outdoors. Like the famous Mekong Water Puppet Troupe, performing in the (Q19) City Gardens this week. Now, water puppetry is amazing! It’s large puppets on long sticks, controlled by puppeteers standing waist deep in the lake. The puppets do comedy routines andthere is some terrific formation dancing. This is a fantastic show and the best moment comes at the end –seeing the puppeteers. When the troupe walks up out of the water, you get this amazing feeling. It’s really hard to believe that what you’ve been watching is lifeless wood and cloth. As an adult, I had a great time, but I did note that other older people in the audience weren’t quite as taken with it as I was. It’s a must for (Q20) young children though, and that’s the audience it’s really aimed at.Well, that’s all I’ve time for today, but I’II be back next week with more news of what’s worth seeing and what it’s best to miss.SECTION 3OFFICER: Hello. Er, I’m Dawn Matthews.STUDENT: Yes, hello. I’ve been referred to you because I’m enquiring about the refresher courses that you run. I’d like to find out a bit more about them.OFFICER: OK. Well, we run quite a few different short courses for students who are either (Q21)returning to study or studying part-time. Um, tell me about your situation. STUDENT: Well, I think that I really need some help in preparing for the coming semester, especially to build up my confidence a bit and help me study effectively because, yousee, I’ve been out in the work-force for nearly twelve years now, so it really is a longtime since I was last a student.OFFICER: Yes, it can seem like a long time, can’t it Um, well, let me start by telling you what courses we have that might suit you. Are you an undergraduate or postgraduate Artsor SciencesSTUDENT: Undergraduate, and I’m in the Business faculty.OFFICER: Right then. First of all, there’s our intensive ‘Study for Success’ seminar on (Q22) the first and second of February. It’s aimed at students like you who are uncertain aboutwhat to expect at college, and looks at a fairly wide range of approaches to universitylearning, to motivate you to begin your study and build on your own learningstrategies.STUDENT: Mm, that sounds good. What are some of the strategies that are presented OFFICER: Well, we try to cover all aspects of study. Some of the strategies in writing, for example, would be improving your planning for writing, organising your thinking andbuilding some techniques to help you (Q23) write more clearly. With reading,there’ll be sessions aimed at getting into the habit of (Q24) analysing material asyou read it, and tips to help you record and remember what you have read. It reallyis very important to begin reading confidently right from the beginning. STUDENT: Mm.OFFICER: There’s also advice on how to get the most from your lectures and practice in giving confident presentations, as well as how to prepare for exams.STUDENT: What about the motivational side of thingsOFFICER: Ah. Well, there’s a range of motivational exercises that we do to help the students feel (Q25) positive and enthusiastic about their study. The process of learning andexploring a subject can lead to a whole new way of looking at the world, and thestudy skills and techniques that you build up can be applied in all sorts of differentways.STUDENT: Actually, I… I’m very excited about the whole thing of taking up studying again but, you know, I’m a little nervous about whether I’ll manage to get everything done. Isuppose it’s the same for all mature studentsOFFICER: Of course it is. Two of the key components of the course are (Q26) time management and overcoming procrastination. People discover that, once they learnto plan their days, all the work can be accomplished and there’ll still be time forleisure.STUDENT: Is there an enrolment feeOFFICER: Well, er, oh, just a minute, let’s see . . . Ah, the cost is thirty pounds, which includes all course materials and morning tea. You have to arrange your own lunch. STUDENT: That wouldn’t be a problem. I already make sandwiches for my three kids and my wife and myself every day. I won’t have to change my routine.OFFICER: No. Now, I need to tell you that this is a very popular course and it’s essential that you (Q27) book well ahead of time. In fact, the Course Convenor tells me that thereare only five places left.STUDENT: What other course might be good for meOFFICER: There is one other that you could benefit from. It’s simply called ‘Learning Skills for University Study’ and is on (Q28) three consecutive mornings starting on a Monday,from nine to twelve, and costs twenty-five pounds. This is aimed at upgrading thestudy skills most school-leavers have and help them cope with the increaseddemands of university study. It focuses mainly on making students more responsiblefor their own success.STUDENT: What sort of things are covered in this courseOFFICER: Well, basically it’s more advanced thinking, note-taking, reading and writing strategies, but also some input about (Q29) stress management.STUDENT: I think I’d be better off (Q30) starting from the basics and looking at all the strategies, don’t youOFFICER: Yes, from what you’ve told me, I think that’s more in line with your situation. STUDENT: Alright then, um, can I book a place on the ‘Study for Success’ seminar course now OFFICER: Yes. Let me just get out a registration form and take down your details.SECTION 4We’re very grateful that the Committee has agreed that a representative for the Students’Union can present students’ suggestions about the design for the proposed new Union building. We appreciate that some of our ideas may not be feasible in the circumstances, but we do feel that it is important that the ultimate beneficiaries of the facilities should have some say in its design.If I could start by briefly explaining what steps were taken to find out student opinion and how we have arrived at conclusions. Firstly, a meeting was held in the current Union for our SU Committee to explain the options. Then we invited all students to submit written suggestions for the design, placing cards in a suggestion box. These suggestions then provided the basis for the design of a (Q31) questionnaire, which was completed by (Q32) approximately two thousand of the College students over a period of three weeks. Finally, the SU Committee collated the resultsand drew up a report. If I can just hand around a copy of that report. This presentation is essentially a summary and discussion of the key points of this report.So, in broad terms, the consensus was as follows. Firstly, regarding the crucial matter of the site, we presented the three options that you have proposed. One: in the city centre, near the Faculty of (Q33) Education; two: on the outskirts of the city, near the park, and three: out of town, near the (Q34) halls of residence. We asked students to cite reasons for and against these sites and, and there was remarkable agreement on all three. Site One was unpopular because of (Q35) traffic and parking problems. Site Two had a number of supporters, mainly because it was close to (Q36) most lecture rooms. And Site Three, out of town, near the halls of residence, was clearly the most popular because of access from living quarters. It was clear that the Union was mainly to be used after lectures. It was also felt that the large site would allow (Q37) more room for a choice of facilities.Our second area of interest was obviously the facilities: there was minimal interest in having a library on the premises, but one option seemed to be a reading room instead – more useful. We would like the current table games room to be replaced with (Q38) a small gym. And, if possible, a small swimming pool – not, of course, Olympic-sized! There was a large number of respondents in favour of a travel agent’s and insurance centre. We also request that there be the offices of the Student Counselling Centre, moving this from the Refectory. There was, however, much disagreement about whether to build a drama theatre. Just over forty per cent of the respondents were in favour, but a largish minority were strongly against it, claiming that it is (Q39) elitist and a waste of funds. Essentially the jury is out on that.Finally, given the number of unfortunate incidents in the current Union over the past few months, a strong point was repeatedly made about security. The recommendations would be at least (Q40) video surveillance and security personnel who would check Student Union cards on request. We doubt if it would be feasible in．Well, this is the summary of the views of the student population. As I say, fuller details are given in our report but I’m happy to take any questions if you have them . . .。

The other day, I went to a park in which there was a huge bird nest, the size of a football field. The nest is as tall as a four-story building. Itallows birds of all kinds to live with much more freedom than the traditional small birdcage. Within the nest, visitors can see different birds walk or fly freely everywhere without being afraid of people. There is a lake in the middle of the bird nest. Wild ducks and white swans swim on the lake, looking for food thrown down by visitors. Before I left the bird nest, I attended a bird show, in which some birds were trained to speak, some to play basketball and some to ride bikes. Of course they are toy balls and bikes, very small. I liked the show very much.参考答案：1-5 BBCAA 6-10 BABCA 11-15 CBCBA 16-20 CACBA。
