It is still a long time before the first show. I don’t expect you to know all the lines yet. Just keep practicing.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?13.M: Hello, this is Dr. Martin from the Emergency Department. I have a male patient with a fractured ankle.W: Oh, we have one bed available in ward 3, send him here and I will take care of him.Q: What are the speakers talking about?14.W: Since Simon will graduate this May, the school paper needs a new editor. So if you are interested, I will be happy to nominate you.M: Thanks for considering me. But the baseball team is starting up a new season. And I’m afraid I have a lot on my hands.Q: What does the man mean?15. W: Have you heard the news that Jame Smeil has resigned his post as prime minister?M: Well, I got it from the headlines this morning. It’s reported that he made public at this decision at the last cabinet meeting.Q: what do we learn about Jame Smeil?16. W: The morning paper says the space shuttle is taking off at 10 a.m. tomorrow.M:Yeah,it’s just another one of this year’s routine missions.The first mission was undertaken a decade ago and broadcast live then worldwide.Q: what can we infer from this conversation? 17. M: We do a lot of camping in the mountains. What would you recommend for two people? W:You’d probably be better off with the four real drive vehicle.We have several off-road trucks in stock, both new and used.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?18. W: I hear you did some serious shopping this past weekend.M: Yeah, the speakers of my old stereo finally gave out and there was no way to repair them.Q: What did the man do over the weekend?Conversation OneW: Now, could you tell me where the idea for the business first came from?M: Well, the original shop was opened by a retired printer by the name of Gruby.Mr Gruby being left-handed himself, thought of the idea to try to promote a few products for left-handers.W: And how did he then go about actually setting up the business?M:Well,he looked for any left-handed products that might already be on the market which were very few.And then contacted the manufactures with the idea of having products produced for him, mainly in the scissors range to start with.W: Right. So you do commission some part of your stock.M: Yes, very much so. About 75 percent of our stock is specially made for us.W: And the rest of it?M:Hmm,the rest of it now,some 25,30years after Mr.Gruby’s initial efforts,there are more left-handed product actually on the market.Manufactures are now beginning to see that there is a market for left-handed products.W: And what’s the range of your stock?M: The range consists of a variety of scissors from children scissors to scissors for tailors, hairdressers etc. We also have a large range of kitchen ware.W: What’s the competition like? Do you have quite a lot of competition?M:There are other people in the business now in specialists,but only as mail-order outlets.But we have a shop here in central London plus a mail-order outlet.And we are without any doubt the largest supplier of the left-handed items.Q19: What kind of business does the man engaged in?Q20: What does the man say about his stock of products?Q21: What does the man say about other people in his line of business?Conversation TwoM: Can we make you an offer? We would like to run the campaign for four extra weeks.W:well,can we summarize the problem from my point of view?First of all,the campaign was late.It missed two important trade affairs.The ads also did not appear into key magazines.As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened?M: well, the delay wasn’t entirely our fault. You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of the advertisements.W:Uh,actually,you were late with the initial proposals so you have very little time and in fact, we only asked for small changes.M: Well whatever, can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for 4 extra weeks?W: That’s not really the point. The campaign missed two key trade affairs. Because of this, we are asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or we only pay 50% of the fee for this year.M:Could we suggest a 20%reduction to the fee together with the four week sustention to the campaign.W: We are not happy. 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。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incompletestatements. Foreach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide onthe best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWERSHEET.Of all the foods we know, fruit is one ofthe most healthful. It is also one of the most tasty foods. Almost everyoneenjoys fruit. Fruit is grown in almost every part of the world. There arehundreds of different kinds of fruits. And there are thousands of differentvarieties. In the United States alone, there are several hundredtypes of apples.In general thought,there are separate groups. There are tropical fruits. These are most important.In this group, we have bananas and pineapples. They are shipped from tropicalcountries and are eaten all over the world.Next come thesubtropical fruits. The most important of these are the citrus ( 柑橘属果树) fruits. Oranges, tangerines ( 柑橘), limes ( 酸橙), and grapefruit are favorites.Other fruits in this class are figs, dates, and olives.The last group comesfrom the temperate zone. Inthis group are pears, apples, grapes, and plums.Many kinds of berries fit this group, too. Fruits are very important to thehuman diet. Besides being tasty, they provide important acids, salts, andvitamins. Also, they are easy to digest. Nutrition experts say that the morefruit people eat, the healthier they become.31.

None of the above35. Fruits are popular because they areeasy to _______.A. plantB.digestC. serveD.tasteMost people who bother with the matter atall would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generallyassumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Ourcivilization is decadent ( 堕落的) and our language —so the argument runs —must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that anystruggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism ( 拟古), like preferring candles toelectric light or handsome cabs to airplanes. Underneath this lies the half consciousbelief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shapefor our own purposes.Now it is clear that thedecline of a language must ultimately have political and economical causes: itis not due to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But aneffect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing thesame effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take todrink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the morecompletely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening tothe English language. Itbecomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts arefoolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to havefoolish thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible. Modern English,especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation andwhich can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If onegets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is anecessary first step towards political revival: so that the fight against badEnglish is not foolish and is not the exclusive concern of professionalwriters.36. Many people believe that nothing can bedone about the English language because _______.A. it has been bad for a long timeB. we live in a decadent civilizationC. there are too many bad writersD. people are too lazy to change their badhabits37. The word “slovenliness ”in the second paragra ph mostprobably means _______.A. slow developmentB. careless useC. widespreadD. original influence38. The author believes that _______.A. it is now too late to do anything aboutthe problemB. the decline in the language can bestoppedC. language is a natural growth and cannotbe shaped for our own purposesD. the process of an increasingly badlanguage cannot be stopped39. The author believes the first stagetowards the political revival of the language would be _______.A. getting rid of bad habitsB. clear thinkingC. avoiding being foolish about itD. the fight against bad English40. It can be learned from the passage that_______.A. both professional writers and all otherpeople should fight against bad EnglishB. professional writers are especially responsiblefor better language habitsC. bad language habits are inevitablebecause English is becoming uglyD. any attempt to improve language habitsis senseless when people are foolishReadingis not the only way to acquire knowledge of preceding work. Thereis another large reservoir which may be called experience, and the collegestudent will find that every craftsman has something he can teach and willgenerally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon themwith ill concealed disdain. The information from these quarters differs fromthat in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part ―the explanations of whythingshappen ―isfrequently quite fantastic. But the demonstration and report of what happens,and how it happens, are sound even if the reports are in completelyunscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn, in this casealso, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a collegestudent to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so canhe.Another source ofknowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father toson, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore.All this isvery difficult for a college student to explore, for much knowledge andpersonal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild weeds. Thecollege student should learn to realize and remember how much of real valuescience has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientificdiscoveries turned out to be rediscoveries of what had existed in thiswilderness long ago.41. The phrase “ this wide, confused wilderness ” in paragraph 2 refersto _______ .A. personal experienceB. wild weeds among goodplantsC. the information from the parentsD. the vast store of traditionalpractices42. Which of the following statements issupported by the passage?A. The college students have troubleseparating good plants from wild weeds.B. Craftsman ’ s experience is usually unscientific.C. The contemptuous college students willreceive no instructions from craftsmen.D. Traditional practices are as importantas experience forthe college student.43. From this passage we can infer that_______ .A. we ’ ll invite the craftsman to teach in the collegeB. schools and books are not the onlyaccess to knowledgeC. scientific discoveries are based onpersonal experienceD. discoveries and rediscoveries are themost important source of knowledge44. The author advises the college studentto _______ .A. be ill concealed toward thecraftsmanB. be patient in helping the craftsman withscientific termsC. learn the craftsman ’ s experience with a critical eyeD. obtain the craftsman ’ s experience without rejection45. The main idea of this passage is about_______ .A. what to learn from the parentsB. how to acquire knowledgeC. why to learn from the craftsmanD. how to deal with experienceThe problem of what todo with atomic waste, theharmful unwanted products of atomic energy, is beingstudied by many scientific minds.Large atomicreactors produce harmful radioactive elements at the same time that theyproduce energy. The atomic waste is so powerful that it will be a danger forcenturies. What can be done with it? Where can it be placed so that it will notharm human beings?No one now has thefinal answer, but hundreds of scientists are searching for it.What would you dowith radioactive atomic waste? Mix it with water and pour it in the ocean? Youwould not do that if you livednear the water. A box the size of a package ofcigarettes would hold the radioactive waste produced by an atomic reactor infive minutes. If you poured it into a body of water more than one hundred mileslong and about fifteen miles wide, this small amount of atomic waste could bediscovered by a Geiger counter anywhere within its harbors and bays in lessthan twenty-four hours. This shows the great size of the problem of what to dowith atomic waste.Atomic wastecannot be burned, boiled away, or made harmless by mixing it with otherminerals. We arenot working with a substance that can be destroyed. We aretrying to destroy energy, and that is impossible. The only thing we can do isto keep the waste in a place where it will be harmless.Throwing it intothe ocean is one method that has been tried. Atomic waste is placed in metalbarrels that are then put in containers as thick and strong as stone. The casesare taken to the deepest part of the ocean and thrown in. For several reasons,however, throwing the atomic waste into the ocean is not a final answer to theproblem.First, the cost ofpreparing the double containers and taking them to sea is very great. Second,it is not known how long these strong cases can endure the deep ocean currents.How long will it be before the metal and stone cases are broken open by theforce of the water? How great a danger will the atomic waste be when it escapesinto the deep ocean.46. Which of the following describes theauthor ’s purpose inwriting the above passage?A. To explain and inform.B. To question andcriticize.C. To amuse and entertain.D. None of theabove.47. Those are the reasons why the atomicwaste is so difficult to deal with except _______.A. it can not be burned orboiled awayB. it can be neutralized with otherelementsC. its radioactive elements will do harm toenvironmentD. it is too powerful and its energy cannot be destroyed48. From paragraph 4 we know _______.A. people find a good way todeal with atomic wasteB. radioactive elements can melt in waterC. atomic waste can travel very slow inwaterD. even small amount of atomic waste hasgreat polluting power49. It can be inferred from the passage_______.A. atomic waste is a great treasure to humanbeingsB. there is no other place where people canthrow atomic wasteC. it is easy to throw atomic waste intowaterD. at present the most practical way todeal with atomic waste is to throw it into the ocean50. What do you think the author would talkabout after the passage?A. Where we can find radioactive mineral.B. Places where people can throw atomicwaste.C. The use of atomic energy.D. The danger of the atomic waste under thesea.Part III Cloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in thefollowing passage.

AIt was about 11:15 pm on the passenger ship California. The night was freezing cold and the water was filled with ice from the North Pole, making it difficult for the ship to sail on .In the radio room, operator Cyril Evans listened to the radio-talk between a nearby passenger ship and the telegraph station on the Canadian island of Newfoundland. Evans interrupted it and said, “We’re stopped and surrounded by ice. Be careful as you pass through these waters.” The radio operator on the nearby ship repli ed, “I’m too busy to talk now. I have many messages to send to the telegraph station. ” Twenty minutes later, as he turned off his radio and went to bed, Evans could still hear the ship sending its passengers’ telegrams.Earlier in the evening the Californ ia’s captain, Stanley Lord, had seen another ship approaching. It looked about the size of his own, but attempts to contact the ship failed. It lay dark and mysterious about 10 miles away. At 12:40 am there appeared a sudden flash of light just over the mystery ship. Captain Lord, thinking the ship might need help, ordered his officers to signal the ship by lamp. There was no reply. Three more rockets then exploded, none appeared to go higher than halfway up the mast of the mystery ship. Then at about 2:00 am it turned and slipped into the darkness.In the light of the sawn there was no mystery ship, but 20 miles away was the scene of a great disaster. Unfortunately, the mystery ship had stopped directly in front of the California, preventing people on board from seeing clearly. If this ship had not been there, Captain Lord would have recognized that the rockets were SOS rockets that came not from the mystery ship but from a more distant ship which the California could not see. If Cyril Evans had kept his radio on for just 30 minutes more he would have heard SOS signals coming from that distant ship he spoke with the night before. That ship was the Titanic which was sinking fast, leaving 1,500 of its passengers dead. It was April 14, 1912.26．From whose point of view is the story told?A．People on the Titanic. B．People on the California.C．People at telegraph station. D．People on Newfoundland.27．Why were the rockets really fired?A．To celebrate the journey. B．To signal for help.C．To contact the Titanic. D．To warn other ships.28．What is the main function of the last paragraph of this passage?A．It shows how unlucky the Titanic was.B．It describes how the Titanic sank.C．It indicates that the people on the California were careless.D．It lists how many people died in the disaster.29．How many ships are mentioned in the passage?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 30．From the passage we know that .A．the rockets were fired from the mystery shipB．Cyril Evans went to bed earlier than usual that nightC．the Titanic started sinking at dawn the next dayD．the Titanic sent out many telegrams that night【答案与解析】语篇解读：该篇记叙文，讲述了California船没能及时判断Titanic的求救信号，最终产生里历史上的重大沉船灾难。
