1. W: These new glasses are giving me headaches.
M: Mine did, too, at first. That should wear off soon.
Q: What does the man tell the woman?
2. M: Is Roberta at home yet?
W: No, she has to work late again today.
Q: What does the woman say about Roberta?
3. M: Would you get me through to Dr. Lemon please?
W: I’m sorry, he’s with a patient.
Q: What does the woman mean?
4. W: Would you like to go to the dance with me tonight?
M: I’d love to, but I’m just getting over my cold.
Q: Will the man go dancing with the woman tonight?
5. W: I’m really angry at John. He never listens to me.
M: Take it easy, Allen. Things will work out.
Q: What does the man advise Allen to do?
6. M: Linda is very quiet. But her brother talks too much.
W: Yes, you are right and he isn’t friendly either.
Q: What’s their opinion of Linda’s brother?
7. M: Janet is quite interested in camping, isn’t she?
W: Yes, she often goes for weeks at a time.
Q: What does the woman say about Janet?
8. M: It’s seven o’clock already. Mary should be home by now.
W: Oh, I forgot to tell you that she called this afternoon and told me she was going to a party at her classmate’s house and wouldn’t be home until 10.
Q: What did Mary say she was going to do?
Now you will hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: Good afternoon, madam. How can I help you?
W: Erm, well, I seem to have lost my handbag.
M: Oh, I’m sorry.
W: Have you seen a brown bag?
M: I’m afraid, madam, at the present time nothing has been handed in, but if you’d like to give me a description, I can write it down.
W: OK. It, it’s a brown bag.
M: Brown.
W: And it’s er, it’s leather and it has a flap that comes over the top. It’s er, a shoulder bag.
M: Fine. Have you got anything inside it that would identify it?
W: Well, my passport’s in there and er, my money. I mean all my money is in there. I have about three hundred pounds cash.
M: I see.
W: Erm, my passport and my money, erm. Oh, I, I have a little address book and my name is in the front.
M: Fine. And where did you leave it?
W: I think I left it in the café.
M: And when was that?
W: About 12:30, I think.
M: I’m sure it will turn up. Now could you tell me your name, please?
W: Henderson. Julie Henderson. I’m in Room 216.
M: All right, Mrs. Henderson. We will let you know as soon as we find it. Thank you very much.
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
9. Which of the following statements is not true according to the talk?
10. Which one of the following items does the handbag not contain?
11. Where does the lady leave her handbag?#p#副标题#e#
Conversation Two
W: I think continuing education is for innovative adults.
M: That’s interesting. I always thought of continuing education as training sessions for teachers to update their knowledge or for workers to fit themselves for new jobs.
W: There are those, too. But I mean people who personally choose to take continuing education, those who pay out of their own pockets because they decide, at a mature age, that life needs a little polishing up.
M: You mean like Marie who worked as a nurse for 25 years? At 45 she decided to go to university and then go for an MBA and is now the Chief Nurse. She earns double the salary, but has also double the trouble.
W: Exactly. Someone who has the courage to say, “Hey, I don’t want to die doing only this!” You know, someone who wants to use 99% rather than 60% of his or her potential.
M: It does take guts to return to studying as a working adult. I mean, you have family responsibilities, usually a job, and suddenly, you have to study and pass exams again.
W: That’s why I think continuing education is for people with initiative.
M: Well, count me out. I’m for live-and-let-live. So I’ll never make big money, but I earn enough to lead a good life. I’d rather go and learn to be a carpenter so when I retire I can make furniture or something like that.
W: Well, that’s a kind of continuing education. It doesn’t all have to be intellectual. The philosophy behind continuing education is that you’re never too old to learn. But of course we return to learn what we enjoy.
M: If you put it that way, I’m definitely for continuing education. I mean, I have no regrets as a dentist. But if I had another chance, I might choose architecture or art rather than medicine. I guess with continuing education I can try to get the best of both at different stages in my life!
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
12. What is the main topic of this conversation?
13. By saying “She earns double the salary, but has also double the trouble,” What does the man mean?
14. What would the man do for his continuing education?
15. At what age did Marie began to work as a nurse?
Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C), and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Los Angeles today is the second largest city in America, spreading over 464 square miles along the southern California coast. It is the center of the entertainment industry, and it has a balmy climate of mostly sunny days. But there was a time when Los Angeles was nothing more than a tiny Indian village.
The Spanish expedition searching for Monterey Bay camped there the night of August 1, 1769. Twelve years later, other Spaniards started a settlement at the village, which remained unchanged for decades.
Yankee sea traders used the settlement as a port, and the California gold rush brought some new economic life to the village, but the town remained quite small. It was not until the completion of the transcontinental railroads in 1869, and the discovery of oil in the 1890s, that the population began to grow. Later, during the two world wars, Los Angeles experienced more growth, in part because of the new airplane industry. At about the same time, the arrival of two New York motion picture producers in search of sunny weather marked the beginning of an entertainment industry that has become a multibillion-dollar industry today.
In just the past 100 years, this tiny sea village has grown into the sprawling metropolis that we know today.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What is this talk about?
17. What two factors caused the town to begin to grow?
18. Approximately how many years ago did Los Angeles begin growing into a large city?
Passage Two
Norman E. Borlaug was the first agricultural scientist to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and the fifteenth American to do so. He was born in 1914 in Iowa, the son of a farming family. In 1940, Borlaug earned his doctorate degree in plant pathology, and a few years later he was chosen by the Rockefeller Foundation to go abroad to help introduce new agricultural technology to farmers who were growing wheat.
Borlaug’s goal was to improve the quality of low-yielding wheat that some farmers had been growing for centuries, and he accomplished his goal. He developed new dwarf and semi-dwarf wheat that had stronger stems and could hold heavier heads of grain. In Mexico, for instance, the new methods resulted in doubled wheat yields. As a result Mexico changed from a country with a wheat shortage to one that was a wheat exporter. For the introduction of these new wheat-growing methods Borlaug was dubbed “father of the green revolution”.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. Which of the following was Borlaug’s goal?
20. What helped finance Borlaug’s trip abroad?
21. What did Borlaug do when he left the United States?
Passage Three
Robert recently attended a lecture on safety at a neighborhood center. The speaker was detective Garcia of the New York Police Department. Here is what he said.
The first thing you need to do is to get to know your neighbors. Don’t be shy. Introduce yourself, especially to people who live in your building. We people who live in large cities are often reluctant to make friends, but it may save our lives later. So make sure that you know your neighbors and that they know you.
Second, don’t carry a lot of money with you. If you’re a man, put your wallet in your front pocket; it’s harder for a pickpocket to lift it out without your knowing. Women, get a purse with straps that you can slip over your shoulder and under your arm. Don’t carry a small purse that a robber can grab from you easily.
Third, if you are mugged, don’t resist. I wish people would listen to me when I say that. A month ago a fifty-year-old man ended up in a hospital because he thought he could beat a mugger in a fight. But if he hadn’t tried to be brave, that probably wouldn’t have happened. Don’t try to be a karate expert. Give the mugger what he wants. As soon as he leaves, call the police. Report any lost credit cards without delay.
Finally, remember that there’s safety in numbers. Try to avoid dark, deserted streets at night. Also, do not get on empty subway cars. If you’re traveling at night, get on the car with the conductor or the motorman.
Some New Yorkers like to say that the city is a very dangerous place. There is some danger, yes, but if you’re careful and pay attention, you should do all right.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. Who gave the lecture on safety?
23. What can we infer about city citizens from the lecture?
24. What would you do if you lost your credit cards to the mugger?
25. What can we conclude from this lecture?
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time you should listen for its general idea. Then listen to the passage again. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 26 to 33 with the exact words you have just heard. For the blanks numbered from 34 to 36 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
Foot massage parlors are sprouting up all over China. In big cities, like Beijing, there are shops on many street (26) corners, and foot massage chain stores employ thousands of workers. This (27) mushrooming industry is producing thousands of new jobs for the blind, who traditionally in Asia have been trained to do massage.
The Chinese government says more than five million people work in the foot massage (28) trade. Most of them come from poor rural areas, and getting jobs in the city rubbing other people’s feet offers a way out of poverty.
Workers at some shops have only (29) minimal training, leaving them wide open to competition from (30) highly trained blind massage therapists, who promise to deliver medicinal (31) benefits at a competitive price. Cao Jun has been blind from birth and he (32) owns three foot massage parlors. “We have an advantage in terms of touching and feeling, so we are very confident that we do a better job than (33) ordinary people,” he says.
Massage has traditionally been considered a profession for the blind in China, Japan and other Asian nations. Now (34) the Chinese government is encouraging the blind to take up massage as an occupation that will allow them to live independently. (35) Special massage schools have set up four-year programs, giving sightless students far more training than their sighted counterparts.
Mr. Cao says his 10-year-old business is strictly for medicinal massage based on ancient Chinese theories of reflexology, which say (36) that points on the feet correlate to parts of the body and that specialized foot rubs, which hit the different points, promote overall health.

Passage 1
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Farmington, Utah, is a more pleasant community since a local girls' 4-H club improved Main Street. Six 4-H girls worked to clean the 72 foot curbside that was covered with weeds, rocks and trash. Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot, five flats of flowers. They also took terms in watering, weeding and maintaining the plot. Participation in this project helped the girls developed a new attitude towards their parents of their own homes; they've learned how to work with tools, and improve their work habits. One mother said that before her daughter was involved in this project, she would not even pour a weed. The experience on Main Street stimulated self-improvement, and encouraged members to take pride in their home grounds and the total community. City officials cooperated with the 4-H members in planting trees, building cooking facilities, pick-me tables, swings and public rest rooms. The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them during the early stages of growth. The total park project needed more plantings in the following years. Members of the 4-H club agreed to follow the project through to completion, because they receive satisfaction from the results of constructive work. The project is a growing one and is spread from the park to the school and the shopping center. Trees and flowers have all been planted in the shopping center, making the atmosphere pleasant.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What do we learn about Main Street in Farmington?

Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot. 79% find it stimulating and interesting. And 87% think it is relaxing. About 68% of those surveyed disagreed with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned. Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also show that middle school students read more books than high schoolers. Over 66% of teens like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Over 26% are interested in non-fiction, such history books.64% of students listed reading stories about people my own age. That's a favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture in tradition. Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said that libraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complain that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date interesting books and magazines. Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.

Passage 3
Thank you for coming, everyone. Today‘s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you here today. Let’s start with power. It‘s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable oil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles. Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use. Now, however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. Let’s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources. Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they‘ll do all the driving for you. What controls remain for the users will be audio-based, so, for example, you’ll just have to say “a bit warmer”, and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. You‘ll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, watch your movie, whatever. Questions
33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What is the presentation mainly about?
34. What used to restrict the use of electric vehicles?
35. What does the speaker say about electric vehicles of today?

《再别康桥》是徐志摩脍炙人口的诗篇,细致入微地描写了诗人对康桥的爱恋和对往昔生活的憧憬。英文翻译延续了中文诗篇的唯美,一起来欣赏一下吧!
轻轻的我走了, 正如我轻轻的来; 我轻轻的招手, 作别西天的云彩。 Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Quietly I wave good-bye To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
那河畔的金柳, 是夕阳中的新娘; 波光里的艳影, 在我的心头荡漾。 The golden willows by the riverside Are young brides in the setting sun; Their reflections on the shimmering waves Always linger in the depth of my heart.
软泥上的青荇, 油油的在水底招摇; 在康河的柔波里, 我甘心做一条水草。 The floating heart growing in the sludge Sways leisurely under the water; In the gentle waves of Cambridge I would be a water plant!
那榆荫下的一潭, 不是清泉,是天上虹; 揉碎在浮藻间,沉淀着彩虹似的梦。 That pool under the shade of elm trees Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?
寻梦? 撑一支长篙, 向青草更青处漫溯, 满载一船星辉, 在星辉斑斓里放歌。 To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream To where the green grass is more verdant; Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.
但我不能放歌, 悄悄是别离的笙箫; 夏虫也为我沉默, 沉默是今晚的康桥! But I cannot sing aloud Quietness is my farewell music; Even summer insects heep silence for me Silent is Cambridge tonight!
悄悄的我走了, 正如我悄悄的来; 我挥一挥衣袖, 不带走一片云彩。 Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Gently I flick my sleeves Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away

摘要:老鹰是世界上寿命最长的鸟类。它一生的年龄可达70岁。要活那么长的寿命,它在40岁时必须做出困难却重要的决定......
The eagle has the longest life-span of its species. It can reach up to 70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard and painful decision.
鹰是世界上寿命最长的鸟类,它的寿命可长达70年。但是,为了活到这么大的岁数,鹰不得不做出痛苦而又艰难的抉择。
When an eagle reached near 40, its beak, talon and feathers become weak. Its short, sharp beak becomes bent. Its long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey. Its old and heavy wings with their thick feathers become stuck to its chest and make it difficult to fly. Then, the eagle is left with only two options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts five months.
当鹰将近四十岁时,它的喙、利爪和羽毛都开始老化。它原本短小尖利的喙变得弯曲;而原本细长灵活的双爪不再有力,无法捕捉猎物;羽毛由于太过浓密使得老化厚重的翅膀贴在胸前,让它难以自如飞行。于是,鹰只有两个选择:要么死去,要么经历一场痛苦的、长达五个月的蜕变过程。
When the eagle feels weak and about to die, it retires to a place far away on the top of a mountain and sits on a nest. For new life, the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it plucks its beak out. After plucking it out, the eagle waits for a new beak to grow back and then it plucks out its talons. When its new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its old feathers. And after five months, the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30 more years.
当鹰感到自己变得羸弱不堪、濒临死亡的时候,它便隐退于遥远的山顶,栖于巢中。为了重生,它用自己的喙撞击岩石,直至完全脱落,然后静待新喙长出。接着,它开始拔下自己的利爪。等新的利爪长出后,它便开始拔掉自己老化的羽毛。五个月之后,重生的鹰就可以再度翱翔蓝天,同时也获得了另外三十多年的寿命。
Some change is needed to survive in difficulty. In miserable condition, we have to change our life style. That process may be very painful. But sometimes we have to throw off our old habits, memories and traditions. We can't go ahead with all our past burdens.
想要在困境中生存,就必须做出某些改变。在恶劣的条件下,我们不得不改变我们的生活方式。改变的过程也许会很痛苦,但是,有时我们必须舍弃已有的习惯、记忆以及传统惯例。背负着过去的所有重担,我们将无法前行。
