If you want to liven up your cooking and get your guests all fired up, then there is no better way to go than with chillies. To tell you all about this wonderful little plant rve invited into the studio John Cool, head chef of the new restaurant sensation "Hot Under the Collar". Welcome to the show John.John: Thanks Pam, it's great to be here.Pam: Now a little later on I'll be talking to John about some of the breathtaking dishes that can be prepared with the aid of chillies but before that I hope John can share some of his vast knowledge of all things spicy to clear up some of the mystery behind the chilli. For example, why are chillies known by so many names and where exactly are they from? Would you mind John?John: Certainly not Pam, it's my pleasure. To answer your lastquestion first-contrary to what many people believe, chillies originate not from the east, but from the west-South America to be more accurate, where [hey grow wild. Archaeological evidence suggests that people may have cultivated chillies for consumption as far back as 7000 BC. Not surprisingly, when the Spanish and Portuguese arrived in the New World they were impressed by this fiery little shrub and pretty soon the Spanish were sending shiploads of stuff back to Europe, while the Portuguese took the plants back with them to the trading ports of the East Indies. Climates in Asia and Southern Europe are ideal for growing chillies, so, since chilli plants are much easier to grow than peppercorn and, as I'm sure you all know, much hotter, chillies spread like wildfire-it was not long before fresh chillies and chilli powder were available all over Asia and Europe. Nowadays chillies are cultivated all over the globe, except in particularly cold climates.Chillies are known by many names around the world, many of which involve variations on the word "pepper". This came about because the Spaniards identified their hot taste with that of peppercorn and for want of a better term used the same word as they used for pepper. Some of the words we use for chillies, however, are derived fromtheir place of origin. The word "Cayenne", found in many European names for chilli, was borrowed from a Native American language. The English name "chilli" comes from a Native Mexican tongue. The English spelling of chilli is another point of confusion. In Australia and Britain it is usually spelt "c-h-i-double l-i" or "c-h-i-l-i", whereas in the US "c-h-i-l-e" is **mon.Regardless of what you call them-chillies, hot peppers, bell peppers, red peppers, pod peppers, cayenne peppers or paprika, they all belong to the capsicum family, which bears no relation to peppercorns, but is related to such plants as potatoes, eggplants and tomatoes. There are 50 species of capsicum. Chilli **e in a variety of colours, though the **mon are red and green, and their skins are usually tough and shiny. They can be as small as your fingernail or as big as your hand. All are hollow, with a fleshy white part covered in seeds running up the inside walls. It is these seeds that provide most of the bite that chillies are famous for.SSS_FILL12.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:EastSSS_FILL13.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:(particularly//very) coldSSS_FILL14.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:pepperSSS_FILL15.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:chileSSS_FILL16.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:tomatoesSSS_FILL17.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:hollowSSS_FILL18.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:0.001%[听力原文]Pam: So tell us John-what makes chillies so hot and what is the natural function of all that heat?John: Well the hero in the chilli story, the one responsible for the kick that gives us the endorphin rush we love so much, is a volatile **pound called "capsaicin". Basically it is the quantity of capsaicin in each plant that determines the fieriness of the chilli fruit. So bell peppers-which we usually just call capsicum here in Australia-contain relatively little capsaicin, at less than 0.001% of the total liquid carried by the fruit, whereas more pungent chilli peppers contain a lot more-somewhere in the order of 1.3%.What is the evolutionary angle to all this? Well, according to the scientists it goes like this. Plants need to spread their seeds and birds are the best way to do this because not only do they fly over vast distances, but also because seeds pass through a bird's digestive tract mostly without harm, whereas in a mammal they rarely do due to the acids in the gut. Birds also lack certain nerve cellsin their mouths and noses, which means they are oblivious to certain tastes, including, and here's the trick, the heat of capsaicin. We mammals, on the other hand, are not ... so in essence the heat of chillies is intended to act as a repellent.

Since one of the major themes in this unit "The Self and Society" is identity and how it is constructed in the modern society, we thought we would take a look at how the modern legal apparatus views identity. And we thought there was no better place to look than how people are identified-so we came up with fingerprinting. We were thinking of going with DNA but decided on fingerprints in the end.Tim: What we really want to get into is some of the broader questions of social identity, but first let's just give you a bit of background on fingerprinting.Henry: Though we have fossil records of the prints on people's hands that date back about 4,000 years, the science of fingerprinting is a relatively modern one. It **mon practice for the Chinese to use fingerprints as a type of signature from the 3rd century onwards but the scholars argue about whether or not the Chinese were aware of the uniqueness of every individual's fingerprints.Tim: Right. It wasn't till much later that people started to getinterested in the lines on people's fingers. In 1683 an Englishman called Nehemiah Grew published a paper in which the topic was raised. Then Robert Malphingi of Bologna wrote on the subject in 1686. His work was so influential that a layer of the human skin has been named after him. But it wasn't until 1798 that JC Mayer speculated on the possibility that our fingerprints were unique-that is, different for every individual person. His work was followed up by the verydetailed examination of fingertips made by professor Johannes Evangelist Purkinje in 1823. To this date the interest had been purely anatomical, but it was a British administrator in India, Sir William Herschel, that first hit upon the practical aspects of fingerprints. To combat high levels of illiteracy and rampant forgery in India he forced members of the local population to sign contracts with a fingerprint. He also began recording the fingerprints of prisoners.Henry: Meanwhile, in Japan, a Scottish missionary, Dr Henry Faulds was also investigating the science of fingerprinting. His research in a hospital in 1874 in Tokyo led him to believe that the marks on our fingers were indeed unique and did not change with time. More importantly, Faulds also identified two of the key fingerprint patterns, namely loops and whorls, and also suggested that fingerprints might lead to scientific identification of criminals. Tim: Right ... and then in 1892 the cause was taken up by Sir Frances Galton, a renowned scientist of the times and cousin, incidentally, to Charles Darwin. In this year Galton published an in-depth study of fingerprinting in which he attempted to devise a system for classification. But we have to go all the way down to Argentina to find the first successful conviction based on fingerprints. This was the work of a man named Juan Vucetich, an Argentinian police officer who had corresponded with Galton and then set up his own system of fingerprint classification. Vucetich put his system into operation in 1891 and in 1892 he opened the first fingerprint bureau in Buenos Aires. Later that same year a woman named Francisca Rojas was convicted of murdering her children on the basis of fingerprint evidence.Henry: Independently of what was happening in Argentina, an Englishman, Sir Edward Henry, who had been trained in fingerprinting by Galton, improved on Galton's classification system and implemented it in India in 1898. In 1900 he published his book "Classification and Uses of Fingerprints".Then he was given a position in Scotland Yard and introduced his fingerprinting system there. The firstBritish conviction based on fingerprints came in 1902 and within 10 years of that, Henry's classification system was being used by police forces and prison institutions all over the English speaking world.SSS_FILL22.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:IndiaSSS_FILL23.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:JapanSSS_FILL24.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:ArgentinaSSS_FILL25.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:IndiaChoose the appropriate letters A-C.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN26.The ridge lines on people's fingertips are formedA. during childhood.B. according to the kind of work you do with your hands.C. before birth.A B C该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:C[听力原文]Tim: So much for the history of fingerprinting. But what about the system? How does it all work? Naturally it is a complicated system but I think we can go over some of the basics here. Right Henry? Henry: Right. The basis for the system is of course that the markings on our fingers, and feet for that matter, are unique and unchanging.These ridge lines are already formed in the foetus by the fourth month of the pregnancy and after that do not change. Now, though everybody's fingerprints are different they can be grouped together according to general similarities. This is called fingerprint classification which is quite distinct from fingerprint identification. So much so that in some cases police officers qualified to classify sets of fingerprints may not be qualified to identify them and vice versa. More about fingerprint identification in a minute, but first let's have a look at the main classes of fingerprint. If you would all just look for a moment at the diagrams that Tim is now putting up on the white board ... thanks Tim ...you'll be able to see the three main fingerprint classifications. The first one is known as an Arch formation. You can see how the **e in from the side, rise to a peak and fall back down again and then continue on in the direction they were originally moving in. The second is known as the Loop pattern. Here the **e in from one direction, curve around until they leave the print impression from almost the same point that they entered. The last type is called a Whorl. In this pattern the **e in and move around in at least **plete circle, creating an island of sorts in the centre. Of these patterns the Loop is the **mon type followed by Whorls. Most people have a mixture of these types on their fingers with a fairly strong correlation between right and left hands. Grouping people according to the pattern types of each ten fingers in a systematic way is the first stage in identification for law enforcement officers. This enables them to classify individuals but does not enable them to accurately identify someone because these classifications are not likely to be unique.Tim: That's right. In order to positively identify a person the officer needs to isolate specific ridge characteristics, which are also sometimes called Galton details. This is **plicated to go into here in detail but let's just say that ridge characteristics fallinto three types: ridge endings, where the line just stops; bifurcations, where the line splits into two, and islands or dots. Any given fingerprint may have as many as 100 identification points on it, so you can understand that making a positive ID is a painstaking task.SSS_SIMPLE_SIN27.Which of the following diagrams depicts a whorl pattern?A.B.C.A B C该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:CSSS_SIMPLE_SIN28.People usually haveA. a mixture of fingertip patterns which are identical on each hand.B. a mixture of patterns with similarities between hands.C. a different pattern on each hand.A B C该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:BSSS_SIMPLE_SIN29.Which of the following diagrams shows a bifurcation ridge characteristic?A.B.C.A B C该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:BSSS_SIMPLE_SIN30.A single fingertip may haveA. more than a hundred patterns on it.B. more than a hundred points of identification on it.C. more than a hundred identities.A B C该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:BSECTION 4Colour Blindness—factsMales: European 8 in 100Asian (31) in 100African 3 in 100Females: ÷ 10Why? colour receptors reside in X chromosome.The diagram below is a representation of an eye. Label the missing parts.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS.SSS_FILL31.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:5[听力原文]Summers: Hello and welcome to today's lecture. The purpose of this lecture is to address some contemporary issues in cognitive science and perception theory, but I want to approach these through first looking at some perception disorders. I'll begin with colour blindness and then move on to some other **mon ones. But first things first, a little bit of a rundown on colour blindness.The technical name for what is commonly called "colour blindness" is "colour vision deficiency" since, as I'm sure most of you already know, colour blind people are not actually blind to colour-they merely cannot see all the colours that people with normal vision can. Total colour blindness-that is seeing in only black and white-does occur but it is extremely rare. On the other hand, less severe forms of colour perception deficiency are **mon. About 8 in 100 males of European descent are affected while for Asians the number is 5 in a 100 and this falls to 3 in a hundred for those of African ancestry. For women the rate is about 10 times less.Why is colour blindness less prevalent in females? Though it is possible to become colour blind through injury, usually the problem is inherited from parents. It's complicated, but basically because the genes for colour receptors are on the X chromosome and men only have one X whereas women have two, men are more likely to suffer this condition. Often mothers are carriers of this genetic defect but are not themselves affected, instead passing it on to their sons.There are several types of colour blindness, but in order to differentiate between them I first need to say a little bit about the parts of the eye that process colour. The human eye contains two kinds of light sensitive cells-rods and cones. Rods, of which there are about 100 million, are active in low light, while the cone cells-there are roughly 7 million of these-are active in normal daylight. Now the ones that concern us here today are the cone cells because these are the ones responsible for colour. There are three kinds of cone cell and each type is sensitive to a different range of thelight spectrum. Without going into too much detail it is fair enough to say that one cone type corresponds to blue-violet light, another to green-yellow and the last to greenish-yellow. These cone cells are referred to as S-cones, M-cones and Lcones, respectively. Colour blindness arises when there are problems with one or more of these cone types, and in nearly all cases the problems are with the latter two types, which means that colour blind people have trouble differentiating between green and red. Why red you ask-because green and yellow together make red. Now let me tell you about the main forms of colour blindness.SSS_FILL32.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:7 millionSSS_FILL33.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:greenish-yellowFill in the flow charts below. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS.SSS_FILL34.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:green[听力原文]Summers: In people with normal colour vision all three cone types function. This is called trichromacy. Now in some people all three cone types function but one type is slightly abnormal and this causes their perception of colour to be abnormal too. This is called anomalous trichromacy. People with this kind of colour blindness fall into two categories, deuteranomaly and protanomaly. I know these words sound technical **plicated but I will explain them in simple language. Deuteranomaly occurs when the cone cells responsible for the green end of the spectrum, the M-cones, do not work normally.People with this condition are "green" weak because they are less sensitive to green colours, which they tend to see as redder than people with normal vision. In practical terms this means they have trouble distinguishing between reds, oranges, yellows and greens. This is by far and away the **mon form of colour blindness, yet because it really does not cause many real difficulties in life, many men do not even know they have it.The second form of anomalous trichromacy, protanomaly results from a mutation of the L-cones, meaning the person is less sensitive to red. This condition is **mon but more serious. The protanomalous person also has trouble in telling the differences between reds, oranges, yellows and greens, but in addition also has difficulty in perceiving brightness, with reds and oranges appearing paler to this person.A more serious problem still is dichromacy. A dichromat lacks one of the three cone types entirely, though it is nearly always the M or L type cones. People with deuteranopia do not have the conecells responsible for the green end of the spectrum which in effect means there is no perceptible difference between reds, oranges, yellows and greens. For those with protanopia the cone cells responsible for red are missing so they also cannot distinguish between these colours either. Furthermore, for these people, red, orange and yellow are severely dimmed, so much so that red can look like black, which I'm sure you can imagine might cause problems at traffic lights. There are forms of colour blindness in which both M and L cone types are missing or in which all three types are missing, but as I said before these are extremely rare.So you might want to ask-what kind of impact does being colour blind have on one's life? Well the answer to that depends of course on the severity of the condition, but there are many areas where its influence might be felt. Traffic lights are one. Another problem might be in reading maps which are colour coded or web pages with certain **binations. In fact, due to the high rate of colour blindness in society web designers have started to take this into account. Matching clothing can also present problems as can decorating houses. When cooking, colour blind individuals may not be able to tell whether meat is cooked or whether fruit or vegetables are ripe. Similarly, they may not be able to see how sunburnt they have become after some time in the sun. Though in most respects colour blindness is a disability, there are a few situations in which it can be advantageous. Colour blind hunters can often better pick out their targets against a mottled background and the military has demonstrated that colour blind soldiers can penetrate camouflage better than those with normal vision.SSS_FILL35.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:palerSSS_FILL36.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:lack of//lacking//lacksSSS_FILL37.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:yellow, green (any order)SSS_FILL38.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:orange, yellow (any order)SSS_FILL39.Choose the correct letters A-G.Which THREE situations does the lecturer say might cause problems for colour blind people?A seeing the colour of traffic lightsB reading mapsC connecting to the InternetD finding clothes that fitE interior decoratingF buying meatG putting on sun lotion该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:A, B, E (any order)。

Listening ModuleListening Module (30 minutes & 10 minutes transfer time)听力原文：You will hear a telephone conversation between a woman and a man who works for a holiday company, about a holiday she would like to go on. First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Man: ‘Holidays for You’. Sean speaking. Can I help you?Woman: Oh hi. I’ve been looking at your website. Um, I’m interested in a cycling holiday in Austria in April.Man: Ah! We have two trips in April - one lasts fourteen days and the other ten days.Woman: Mm ... I think the(Example)10-day trip is better. So let’s see. I’ve got a calendar here. What are the dates?The length of the trip that the woman chooses is 10 days, so ‘10’has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.[repeat]Man: Well, that trip is in the middle of the month.(1)It starts on the 17th of April and it finishes on the 27th.Woman: That suits me. I can’t leave work before the 10th of April.Man: Let me see if there are any spaces. Is it just for yourself?Woman: Myself and my sister - so two of us.Man: Um, yes. We have spaces.Woman: Is it a big group?Man: At the moment there are 12 people booked on this trip and with you two that will be 14.(2)The maximum number is 16 so it’s almost fully booked. We can’t go over that because it’s hard to keep a larger group together.Woman: I need to check that I’m fit enough for this but the distances look OK. The website says(3)we’ll ride approximately 45km a day. Is that right?Man: That’s correct and I’ve got the exact distances here. It really depends on which part of the trip. Some days are only 35km and some are more. But you’ll never have to cycle more than 50km in one day.Woman: Oh, OK. I can manage that. And we stay in hotels?Man: Yes. They all have restaurants and the rooms have en-suite facilities.Woman: And do they have pools? It’s how I relax after a long day.Man: There is a(4)swimming pool in a few of the hotels but none of them has a gym.Woman: I don’t think we’ll need a gym after all that cycling! I’d better find out how much the holiday costs before I get too excited.Man: Including flights it’s ￡1,177 for one person.Woman: Oh, we’ll book our own flights on the Internet.Man: Ah, that’s just ￡(5)1.013 then. And we can book insurance for you if you want.Woman: Mm ... and which meals are included in that price?Man: Well, er, breakfast of course. And the hotels will provide you with a packed lunch each day. We do stop during the afternoon in a village somewhere for a rest, so(6)any snacks you buy then are extra. Then dinner will be in the hotel every evening and that’s included in the price of the holiday.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen andanswer questions 7 to 10.Woman: And you provide the bicycles of course. What else?Man: A lock and a bell come with the bike as well as lights, although you shouldn’t need to cycle in the dark. There’s a small bag, or pannier, on the front of the bike, where you can put the things you want to take with you during the day like water or fruit.(7)But we won’t allow you to cycle unless you bring a helmet. We don’t provide these locally because, like walking boots on a walking holiday, it’s really important it fits properly.Woman: OK.Man: If there’s any special gear you need for your holiday, we recommend a particular website and you can get a discount by quoting your booking reference.Woman: Great. What is it?Man: It’s . That’s all one word, and I’ll spell it for you: www dot(8)B-A double L-A-N-T-Y-N-E dot com.Woman: Good. I’ve got that down. I’ve been looking at your website while we’ve been talking. I see we cycle along the river Danube?Man: Yes, it’s one of Europe’s most well-known areas for cycling.Woman: It looks fascinating - lots of beautiful countryside and things to see.Man: I should warn you that we do reserve the right to make some alterations to the(9)route if the weather is bad. Some of the tracks sometimes get very muddy.Woman: OK. Well, hopefully it won’t rain too much! I know we stop in towns and villages but do we get a chance to look around? Because I’m really interested in history.Man: Oh yes, you get opportunities to explore. Is there something in particular you want to see?Woman: There’s a(10)theatre in a town called Grein. A friend of mine went there last year and said it was amazing.Man: Let’s see. Urn, ah yes, there’s a guide who’ll take you round the building. We don’t have any other tours arranged but you can visit several castles and museums on the holiday.Woman: Well, thank you for all that information. I’d like to book that then.Man: Right. Well, I’ll just...Cycling holiday in AustriaExample AnswerMost suitable holiday lasts __10__days.Holiday begins on【L1】______No more than【L2】______people in cycling group.Each day, group cycles【L3】______on average.Some of the hotels have a【L4】______Holiday costs【L5】￡______per person without flights.All food included except【L6】______Essential to bring a【L7】______Discount possible on equipment at www.【L8】______comPossible that the【L9】______may change.Guided tour of a【L10】______is arranged.1．【L1】正确答案：17th April /17 April / April 17解析：Distraction 27th April and 10th April. They are wrong because the man says that the trip ‘finishes’ on 27th April and the woman says she ‘can’t leave work before the 10th of April’.2．【L2】正确答案：16/sixteen解析：Distraction The man mentions ‘12’ and ‘14’. 12 is wrong because that isthe number of people booked on the trip ‘at the moment’; 14 is wrong because that will be the number with the woman and her sister. Neither is the maximum possible number. The woman asks, ‘Is it a big group?’; ‘the maximum number[= no more than]’.3．【L3】正确答案：45 km / forty-five km / kilometres / kilometers解析：Distraction The man mentions ‘35 km’ and ‘50 km’. The shortest distance is 35 km and the longest distance is 50 km but neither is the ‘average’. ‘distances’tells you that you will soon hear the answer; ‘approximately ... a day[= on average]’.4．【L4】正确答案：(swimming)pool解析：Distraction ‘restaurants’ and ‘en-suite facilities’ are mentioned but the man says ‘all’the hotels(not just ‘some’)have these; ‘gym’is wrong because ‘none of them’ has one.5．【L5】正确答案：1013解析：Distraction 1,177 is wrong because this price includes flights.6．【L6】正确答案：snacks解析：Distraction ‘breakfast’, ‘packed lunch’ and ‘dinner’ are all mentioned but these are included in the price.7．【L7】正确答案：(cycle)helmet解析：Distraction ‘lock’, ‘bell’, ‘lights’, ‘small bag’and ‘pannier’are all mentioned but they ‘come with the bike’ so you don’t need to bring them. You know that the answer is coming when after listing what the holiday company provides, the man says ‘But we won’t allow you to cycle unless you bring ...’.8．【L8】正确答案：ballantyne解析：(you can write this in small or capital letters)9．【L9】正确答案：route解析：[alterations = changes] Distraction ‘tracks’get muddy but they don’t change.10．【L10】正确答案：theatre / theater解析：’a guide who’ll take you round[= guided tour]’. Distraction ‘castles and museums’ are visited but there aren’t any other tours.听力原文：You will hear someone talking on the radio about food and restaurants in the local area. First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 11 to 14.Announcer: And now we have our ‘Know your town’ section Where we look at what’s on offer in our area. Today John Munroe is going to tell us about local food and eating out. John.John: Well, most of us buy our food in supermarkets these days but we’re very lucky having a wonderful market here. It was originally on the piece of land in front of the cathedral but at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river.(11)When the new shopping centre was built in the 1960s, it found a home beneath the multi-storey car park where it still is. but there are plans to move it back to its previous home by the river.The market is now open six days a week. On Tuesday to Saturday you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area, as well as a whole range of imported produce.(12)But if you come on a Sunday, you’ll find a different market, where craftspeople sell what they have made - things like bags, cards, clothes. During the week there are a few stalls selling more everyday utensils like saucepans and cleaning products alongside the fruit and vegetables - as well as one new stall selling antique furniture which is proving to be very popular.People often ask what our local dish is. As we’re by the sea, they expect it to be some kind of fish recipe. Our fish is good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out.(13)What we do have is an apple cake that isn’t really made anywhere else. There’s a new cafe in the High Street: Barton’s, which bakes them fresh every morning and serves them with delicious home-made ice cream in a choice of flavours.Now, the harbour is obviously the place to buy fresh fish. Every morning there’s a stall where local fishermen sell a selection of the day’s catch before the rest goes to London or abroad. They’ve been doing that for as long as anyone can remember of course, but the harbour itself looks very different from a few years ago.(14)Most of the restaurants used to be at the far end, but that part was redeveloped and the restaurants had to relocate to the other end. Many of them are simply the old ones in new premises but a couple of new ones have opened recently so there’s a good range now both in the harbour and the town itself. I’m now going to give you my ‘Top Six Places to Eat’ in different parts of the town.Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.So Number 1 for me isMerrivales, which is in one of the busiest parts of the town leading down to the harbour. It’s in a side street so it doesn’t look out over the water but it’s very close, so you can take a walk after your meal and find one of the cafes with live music. At Merrivales you can enjoy delicious fresh fish and seafood.(15)The friendly staff offer very attentive service and a really enjoyable evening.The Lobster Pot is on the main road going down to the harbour so it also misses out on the sea view, but the food makes up for that.(16)It serves a huge range of fish and seafood as well as vegetarian and meat dishes so there’s something for everyone. Prices are from mid-range to fairly expensive so it’s really only for a special occasion.Elliots is in the city centre and is a very upmarket restaurant in the evening but during the day it serves lunch and coffee.(17)It’s on the twentieth floor above some offices and it’s a great place to sit for a while as you can see most of the city spread out from there. It does get very busy though and you may have to wait to be served.Not far from the city centre is The Cabin which is on the canal bank. You can’t park your car there - it’s a fifteen-minute walk from the nearest car park - but(18)it’s very peaceful, a good place to relax away from the traffic. It’s not cheap but it’s an ideal place for a long lunch.The Olive Tree is a family-run restaurant in the city centre offering beautifully prepared Greek dishes. It’s well known locally and very popular. Service can be slow when it’s busy as all the food is freshly made. There’s plenty of room and on Friday and Saturday nights,(19)the wooden floors resound with live music and dancing which is certainly worth going for.The last place I want to recommend has only just opened in a converted school building. The Old School Restaurant has been very cleverly renovated.(20)The use of mirrors, plants and the colours on the walls makes you feel as though you’re in a large garden instead of the city centre. There are only a few dishes on the menu but they change every day.So Tanya, I...11．The market is now situatedA．under a car park.B．beside the cathedral.C．near the river.正确答案：A解析：Distraction B: ‘It was originally ... in front of the cathedral’ but later ‘it was moved’. It was never ‘beside’ the cathedral; C: ‘at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river’ but John goes on to say it found another ‘home’‘in the 1960s’. Although ‘there are plans to move[the market]back ...’ these are for some time in the future, not now.12．On only one day a week the market sellsA．antique furniture.B．local produce.C．hand-made items.正确答案：C解析：Distraction A: Antique furniture is sold on ‘one new stall’, not ‘on onlyone day’; B: Local produce[= ‘fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area’]is sold from ‘Tuesday to Saturday’.13．The area is well known forA．ice cream.B．a cake.C．a fish dish.正确答案：B解析：Distraction A: Ice cream is served with the cake in one cafe but the area isn’t famous for the ice cream; C: John says ‘Our fish is good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out’.14．What change has taken place in the harbour area?A．Fish can now be bought from the fishermen.B．The restaurants have moved to a different part.C．There are fewer restaurants than there used to be.正确答案：B解析：Distraction A: Fish can be bought from the fishermen but this isn’t a change(‘They’ve been doing that for as long as anyone can remember ...’); C: There are more restaurants(‘a couple of new ones have opened recently’)not fewer.Which advantage is mentioned for each of the following restaurants?Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-H, next to questions 15-20.AdvantagesA the decorationB easy parkingC entertainmentD excellent serviceE good valueF good viewsG quiet locationH wide menu15．Merrivales ______正确答案：D解析：Distraction C: The entertainment is in ‘one of the cafes with live music’ in the area. Distraction F: ‘it doesn’t look out over the water’, so it doesn’t have good views. Distraction G: It is in ‘one of the busiest parts of the town’, so it isn’t a quiet location. Distraction H: It doesn’t have a wide menu - John just mentions ‘delicious fresh fish and seafood’.16．The Lobster Pot ______正确答案：H解析：Distraction E: It’s not good value because prices ‘are from mid-range to fairly expensive’. Distraction F: ‘it also misses out on the sea view’. Distraction G: It ‘is on the main road’ so it isn’t in a ‘quiet location’.17．Elliots ______正确答案：F解析：Distraction G: John says it ‘is in the city centre’so it’s not in a ‘quiet location’. Distraction D: ‘you may have to wait to be served’so the service isn’t ‘excellent’.18．The Cabin ______正确答案：G解析：Distraction B: John says ‘You can’t park your car there ...’; E: ‘It’s not cheap’.19．The Olive Tree ______正确答案：C解析：Distraction H: It serves ‘beautifully prepared Greek dishes’ so it doesn’t have a ‘wide menu’; D: ‘Service can be slow’ so it’s not ‘excellent’.20．The Old School Restaurant ______正确答案：A解析：Distraction H: ‘There are only a few dishes on the menu’.听力原文：You will hear three students on a media studies course talking about a film they are planning to make. First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.Reza: Hi Mike.Mike: Hi Reza, this is Helen.Helen: Hello!Mike: We’re really pleased you’ve agreed to join us on this film project.Helen: Yes, your experience is going to be so useful.Reza: Well, I hope so. It’s the technical side I know best - lighting, sound and stuff.Mike: But you think the script is OK?Reza: Yes, I think it’s great! Um, have you decided where you’re going to shoot?Helen: Well, there’s the water-mill scene at the end. And we’ve thought about some locations in town we can use. They’re behind the shopping mall and on a couple of residential streets. And in an empty shop on campus. It means we don’t have to worry about getting permission from a shopowner.Mike: So(21)do you think we should go to all the locations with you?Reza: It would be a good idea. We need to talk about the levels of background noise so we know they’re all going to be reasonable places to film.Mike: But the sounds of traffic will make it more natural.Helen: I think Reza means things like aeroplanes, trains and so on that would mean we have to stop filming.Reza: Exactly. And also I’ll make notes for myself about what lighting I’m going to need. I think the university department has a good range of equipment, but I’ll need to make a list for each location for my own reference. Anyway, once we’ve had a look round,(22)youcan do the roadworks check.Mike: What do you mean?Reza: You need to find out about building work or roadworks. Because you could start filming one day and come back in the morning to find one of the roads has been dug up! The local council have to be informed about things like that so you can find out from them.Mike: OK. Then I think we need to work from the script and put together a list of all the scenes and decide which ones we’re going to film when. We need to(23)prepare the shooting schedule, day by day.Reza: You’re right. Then when you know how long filming is going to last, you can tell everyone when they’re needed.Helen: OK, so as soon as we can, we’ll audition, and then when we contact people to offer them parts we can send the exact dates and(24)make really sure they are free. Because often the actors are all enthusiastic but then when you try to pin them down about whether they’re really free at that time, you find they’ve got exams or something, or they’re off to a festival just before and you have to rush about looking for replacements.Mike: Then, we need people who can take over the main parts if one of our stars falls ill or something.Reza: Yes, I agree. So offer the main parts to the people we really want, and then look at other volunteers who were OK.Helen:(25)Yes. We can select the understudies once the main roles have been confirmed. So, once we’ve got that sorted and we’ve held all the rehearsals of the main scenes, we’ll be ready to start filming.Reza: Yes, that sounds good. Anything else?Mike: Er, well, just housekeeping, really. We don’t actually need costumes because actors will wear their own clothes.(26)My family has agreed to lend us some pieces of furniture which we need, so we’ll go and fetch those the weekend before we start.Helen: We’ll provide food and drink during shooting so I’m going to borrow some cool-boxes.Mike: And I’ve got a little van. Most of the locations are within walking distance of the halls of residence anyway. The only one further away is the water-mill.Reza: Ah, yes, can you tell me about that?Mike: Um, OK. Er, hang on a minute, I’ll get my notes. There’s a plan in them.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.Mike: Here’s the mill. You see, basically you have a vertical water-wheel which was used to power the grinding stones.Reza: Mm, it sounds really interesting. Will we film inside?Helen: Yes. That’s where the final scene between the girl and the man takes place. Our plan is to(27)fix one camera outside bv the window next to the door, to film through the window, and then have another handheld camera inside the mill. That means we can get two views of the same scene. We were going to do something using a mirror, but we decided that would be too complicated.Mike: Yes, by doing it that way,(28)all we’ll need is lights on the inside, next to the wall behind the wheel which can shine across to the opposite wall.Reza: Hmm. Will that give enough light?Helen: I think so, because the scene is in the evening; it shouldn’t be too bright. The actors will be carrying torches too.Mike: And(29)we’ll have an old screen made of wood just inside the door, because it’s a new door and it’ll look wrong. The lights won’t shine directly on it so it’ll be fine.Reza: So you won’t actually show the door open?Mike: No.(30)There’s a huge box on the floor against the wall farthest from the wheel. We’ll see the girl approaching the mill on her bike. Then we see through the window and the man is inside looking at it, then the next shot is the girl, in the room with him,opening the box.Reza: So it’ll be a mysterious ending! Well, I think it’s going to be a great project.Mike: Good.Helen: Thanks!Complete the flow-chart below.Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-l, next to questions 21-26.A actorsB furnitureC background noiseD costumesE local councilF equipmentG shooting scheduleH understudiesI shopowners 21．正确答案：C解析：Distraction ‘equipment’ is wrong because Reza says ‘I’ll make notes for myself about what lighting I’m going to need ... a good range of equipment, but I’ll need to make a list for each location for my own reference’(he will decide on the lighting equipment himself so they won’t discuss it).22．正确答案：E解析：The word ‘roadworks’ tells you when to listen for the answer to 22 but it does not come immediately.23．正确答案：G24．正确答案：A25．正确答案：H解析：The meaning of ‘understudies’ is given before you hear the word.26．正确答案：B解析：Distraction Mike mentions ‘costumes’ but points out they ‘don’t actually need’ any.Choose four answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-G, next to questions 27-30.A lightsB fixed cameraC mirrorD torchesE wooden screenF bikeG large box27．正确答案：B解析：It’s outside the mill, by the window. Distraction Helen mentions a mirror but says they decided not to use it.28．正确答案：A解析：They are on the inside, next to the wall behind the wheel. Distraction Helen mentions torches but says the actors will be carrying them.29．正确答案：E解析：[wooden = made of wood] Distraction Mike says the lights won’t shine directly on the screen.30．正确答案：G解析：[huge = large] Distraction Mike mentions the bike, but he is referring to how the girl arrives at the mill.听力原文：You will hear part of a lecture about exotic pests given as the introduction to a course on ecology and environment. First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[Pause the recording for one minute.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.Lecturer: Good afternoon. I want this afternoon as an introduction to our ecology module to offer examples of exotic pests - non-native animals or plants which are, or may be, causing problems - which might prove a fruitful topic for seminar papers later in the term. People and products are criss-crossing the world as never before, and on these new global highways, plants and animals are travelling too.Exotic plants and animals are turning up in Antarctica and on the most remote islands on Earth. For example, the Australian red-backed spider - it’s made its way to countries fairly near home, such as New Zealand and Japan, as some of you may know - well, it’s also been found on Tristan da Cunha,(31)which is a remote island, thousands of miles from anywhere, way out in the middle of the Atlantic.Now, another famous animal invader in the other direction, so to speak, from England to Australia in the southern hemisphere, is the rabbit. This was in 1830 and it might seem less of a threat, but it became an extraordinarily destructive pest. The fact that rabbits increased so rapidly is perhaps more understandable when we remind ourselves that they had originally been introduced to England from continental Europe eight centuries earlier.(32)This was because theywere regarded as a luxury food source, and in spite of having warm fur, they probably originated on the hot dry plains of Spain, which of course explains why they thrive in the climate of Australia.A much less cuddly example of a pest introduced to Australia, this time from America, is fire ants. These are increasing and spreading very fast.(33)Their huge nests can now be found in gardens in the city of Brisbane and they are costing the Australian government a great deal of money in control measures. These were an accidental introduction, rather than a deliberate one, brought to Australia, probably in horticultural imports or in mud on second-hand machinery.As a biologist and conservationist, I have become increasingly concerned about these matters. Exotic invasions are irreversible and deserve to be taken more seriously even when they aren’t particularly damaging. For example, something that is not necessarily a major disaster compared to other ecological experiments:(34)in 1975 an Australian species of earthworm was deliberately introduced to the northern hemisphere, in Scotland, because they were bigger than the natives.(35)The aim was that they would be more effective than native species, but in fact they don’t do more for the soil condition than the smaller locals which they displace. Although they don’t do a lot of harm, as far as we know up to now, this will probably prove to have been a mistake.A much more serious case, also in Scotland, as well as other countries, along with the latest victim, Iceland, is the New Zealand flatworm. This is a most unwelcome newcomer in these regions of (36)north-west Europe. Basically, this flatworm came into these countries by accident. It’s now been realised that it was actually (37)carried in the plant pots containing exotic ornamental shrubs and so on, and as it eats local earthworms, and doesn’t benefit the local ecology in any way, it is a real pest.Next, there’s a further instance, this time in the water and it’s come from Japan. It’s(38)a delicious but very fast-spreading seaweed and is one of many exotic species, large and small, in the seas covering the rocks around Australia. Unfortunately, it is replacing indigenous seaweeds and permanently altering the ecosystem. However, to look at the situation from a business point of view - it is now being harvested and exported, dried, back to Japan, its original home, where it’s particularly popular. So sometimes we may find accidental benefits from apparently harmful arrivals.Well, you could say that world ecology is now going the same way as popular culture. Global music and fashions, food and drinks are taking over from local ones in every land. And in ecosystems, we find vigorous exotic invaders overwhelming native species and natural habitats.But can we find any examples of invaders which appear to be a problem and then find that in fact they may not be such a big issue after all? We might take as an example a native of Australia, the budgerigar, the most common pet parrot in the world, of course. Because there have been many escapes over the years, it is now to be found flying about in feral flocks where the climate suits it. So, these flocks of budgerigars have been getting very numerous(39)in the south-east of the United States, particularly in residential areas. People have been getting quite worried about this, but it has been observed that the size of the flocks has diminished somewhat recently. The fact that they are smaller is thought to be(40)due to the fact that new competitors for their habitat have arrived from other places.That’s the last example for now. What I’d like you to consider isthis: Is the planet Earth moving towards a one-world ecosystem? How far would it be a wholly bad development?Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.31．正确答案：(the)Atlantic(Ocean)32．正确答案：(luxury)food(source)解析：Distraction Rabbits’‘fur’ is mentioned but there is no suggestion they were imported for the fur to be ‘used for’ something.33．正确答案：(in)gardens解析：Distraction ‘nests’ are what the ants make, not their ‘habitat’(which is what this column is about).34．正确答案：earthworm / earth worm35．正确答案：soil(condition)解析：Distraction ‘natives’, ‘native species’ and ‘locals’ are all mentioned but the pests ‘displace’ these, they do not improve them.36．正确答案：North(-)west / north(-)west解析：Distraction ‘Scotland’ and ‘Iceland’ are mentioned, but they are names of countries so they cannot be the adjective in front of ‘Europe’.37．正确答案：plant pots解析：Distraction ‘ornamental shrubs’ are mentioned but the flatworms came in the earth in the pots, not the plants.。
