Text 1

W: Excuse me? Can we get a table at the non-smoking area?

M: Sure, but you may need to wait for a few minutes. You can have a look at the menu first at the waiting area.

Text 2

W: So, you’ve lived in London for forty years. Were you born there?

M: No, I was born and brought up in a small town and only moved to London in my twenties when I got a job at the BBC.

Text 3

M: Excuse me, could you tell me when the next train to New York will leave?

W: Sorry, I don’t know. You can check at the information counter. It’s right down the hall.

M: Thank you.

Text 4

M: I’ve just been offered two jobs just now.

W: Congratulations! Which one are you going to take?

M: Thanks. I haven’t decided yet.

Text5

W: Excuse me. Do you know where Mr. Anderson is?

M: Oh, we're repairing the classroom ceiling this week. So he is giving his class in the library instead.

Text6

W: Jason, would you tell us a little about how you became a writer?

M: Oh, I’ve written ever since I was a boy. When I was at school, I wrote stories for a children’s magazine. Later on, I wrote for The Western Teacher and various other magazines before I got into writing books.

W: Did you start writing your own books after you came to Paris?

M: Yes. My first book was published here in 2004.

Text7

W: Love, my stomach aches.

M: Mine too, honey.

W: I think it was the fish or the meat we ate in the restaurant.

M: It might have been.

W: Or the soup.

M: No, it couldn’t have been the soup because I didn’t have any. Little Jimmy had some and he’s all right.

W: Of course we sat in the sun for a long time but I suppose it couldn’t have been the sun.

M: That’s true. Now what else did we both eat? Only those lovely apples I bought at the market. It couldn’t have b een them. Were you still eating apples and you washed them?

W: No, I didn’t. I thought you had.

M: Oh, Jenny, I didn’t wash them, I’ve thought you did. It must’ve been the apples then. Oh, I feel worse now. Let’s go see a doctor.

Text8

M: Why don’t you like going to the cinema?

W: Well, there’re too many problems.

M: Like what?

W: For example, when the film is popular, the cinema is rather crowded. When the traffic is bad, it takes a long time to get there.

M: Are these all the problems?

W: No, the worst is the people. Children running up and down, people chatting endlessly and so on. So I’d rather stay at home and wait to see the films when they are shown on TV.

M: Then you may see the films a bit later than other people.

W: Yes, but I’ll be more comfortable in the quietness in my living room.

M: Well, I can’t stand others talking about a new film before I see it. So I prefer seeing films at the cinema as soon as they come out.

Text9

M: Can I talk to you for a minute, Professor Smith?

W: Sure, David. What can I do for you?

M: I didn’t get a copy down all the terms you mentioned in today’s lecture, and I know they were important.

W: Do you remember what parts of the lecture you have trouble with?

M: Er, not really.

W: Mmm, can I take a look at your notes?

M: Sure.

W: Mmm, interesting.

M: What?

W: David, just by looking through your notes from today and from last week’s classes I can tell that you’ve been missing a lot of the important information for my lectures. Your notes are rather incomplete.

M: What’s wrong? I thought I took good notes.

W: Mmm, not exactly. I think your note-taking skill needs some improvement.

M: Oh.

W: What I suggest is that you copy down the key points that I put on the board at the start of each class. That way you can follow along and keep up with the main ideas of the lecture.

M: OK.

W: Second, use the key points to help you fill in the details that develop each main point. Don’t worry about writing down everything I say word for word. It looks you were trying to do that. Focus on understanding the organization of the lecture, that will help you find the most important

information you should write down.

M: All right. Thanks, Professor Smith.

W: Oh, and one more thing, you might find it useful to shorten word than use special marks, that can save you a lot of time.

Text10

M: It is no secret that many famous people including Napoleon, Caesar the Great, and even the queen of England loved silk clothes. In the 13th century, Marco Polo traveled the Silk Road and brought silk to Venice. You can be sure that Italians value this precious material greatly. Some of the designs added into their clothing were copies of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci. Today there are no world-class dress designers who have not used Italian cloth materials made of Chinese silk.

A famous poet said, “What diamonds do for the hand silk does for the body.” Silk has a comfortable and expensive quality. Silk dresses and suits certainly add beauty and style to one’s clothes collection. You want to be considered as successful as those who know what quality is, don’t you? No one who was anyone should be without this special material. Come and buy a silk dress or a shirt today.

Pets5 全真模拟题3听力原文

听力材料： Questions 1 ~ 10 : Hello, everyone. Today I will introduce you the learning chains in Britain. Here the chains refer to schools linked together as part of a group. They can offer students many practical advantages. When people are asked to name a language school, more often than not, they think of one of the large international chains of schools. Some are vast language teaching organizations with schools in many different countries and may teach just one language. One of the main strengths of these chains is the fact that their name is familiar to people all over the world. This can be a big advantage in the con-fusing world of language learning. Most students are bewildered by the large choice of schools and courses on offer, both at home and abroad, and so many prefer to choose a school which has a familiar name and an established reputation. Chain schools know this, and part of their success is due to effective marketing and advertising, which helps to keep their name well-known. But chain schools should not be dismissed by serious students just be-cause they use clever marketing techniques. They have other important strengthens which can provide advantages to students. A school is only as good as its teachers and facilities, and many chains offer very high standards in both. More chains require that their teachers have internationally recognized qualifications and a maximum amount of teaching experience. It is important for chains to maintain these standards at all schools, because the reputation of the whole chain can be affected if one school performs badly. Students also benefit from the standardized structure of chains. Most chains use the same text books in all their schools, and often they produce their own coursework materials. They also organize their courses in the same way which means that starting dates and course lengths are usually the same at all schools. For students, one of the main advantages of this standardized structure is simplicity. If you cannot decide whether to study in the U. S. or Britain, for example, most chains allow students to start their language course at one school and continue at another, so they can experience different regions or different countries, as part of the same study trip. Chain schools tend to be larger than single center schools, which can al-so have advantages for students. With larger numbers of students, school administrators can achieve a better mixture of nationalities in classrooms. This means that students can avoid being with other students who speak their language. This gives them the chance to meet students from other countries, and to practice their English with them. Some chains offer students a very simple booking and enrolment procedure which is also useful. Application forms and enrolment procedures are the same for all schools, so students need only supply their details once. Students may find that they can book their course abroad through a representative of a chain school in their own town or city. Other chains offer a centralized booking facility, so students only have to contact one center to make a booking anywhere in the world. Chain schools often operate in different locations, whereas a single school is likely to be based permanently in one building. Many chain schools operate temporary schools, particularly during the summer holidays. In Britain, they often use secondary school premises which are empty during the school holidays. Studying English in an English-speaking country is the most effective way to learn the

2011年三段对话/独白 1. JoAnn: Don, you have been a strong advocate for teacher and student rights; you wrote about the politics of education in Testing Is Not Teaching(2002). How have things changed since you first wrote about writing in the1970s? Don: In my report to the Ford Foundation in 1976, I documented how the government f unded no research in the teaching of writing. It was appalling how little opportunity there was to research the second R. I actually got the first grant from the government in 1978for my study in Atkinson, New Hampshire. There was also a cover story by Newsweek with the title, “Why Johnny Can’t.” That was around 1977,as I recall. So there was a burst of energy for writing in the early 80s. The National-writing Project expanded dramatically,and there was more research money for studying writing. Even Ronald Reagan allowed funds to go to writing and its improvement; I was on his panel for excellence. I’ve learned that Ame rican educator sand the government can maintain focus on a subject area for only so long. In the early 90s and continuing to the present, testing and accountability have become a major focus. They have become almost like curricula in their own right. They steal the focus from learning and—more particularly—from writing. JoAnn: What impact have federal mandates had on our schools? What has this meant for the teaching of writing? Don: Testing and the emphasis on reading have stolen large blocks of time from writing. Writing requires human power and time to evaluate whatever is submitted. Reading, on the other hand, is much cheaper to assess. The No Child Left Behind Act is all about reading. The authors of the bill didn't realize just how much writing creates a different reader. Writing is the making of reading. People who construct things know far better how to take those things apart.[The federal mandates want us to believe that] it is much more important to find out if children are good receivers of informa tion, rather than good senders of information. In short,we don’t want their ideas, but we do want to know if they can get the right answer about the information they should understand. In sum, from a political standpoint,we don’t really want to know if the y can write with a voice that has idea sand facts to support those ideas. JoAnn: What can teachers do when they find they have less time for writing? Don: Teachers should band together asking lots of questions, both orally and in writing. They need to ask questions like:? How important is writing in relation to reading?? Do you think it is equally important for children to know how to send information, as well as to receive it?? Do you think writing is a medium for learning to think? Why or why not?? Do we, in fact, want our children to be thinkers who come up with original ideas? If so, how can we assess that?? Most professional writers read,interview, make outlines, take notes, and then write. Why is it that children are denied the very tools and opportunities that professional writers use when taking tests or following test prompts?To show how important the medium of writing is, we should put our questions in writing, then call for an appointment to have good dialogue with administrators, and policy makers. Of course, we need to have dialogue among ourselves about these matters first. Donald Graves(Continued from page 1)[The federal mandates want us to believe that] it is much more-important to find out if children are good receivers of information,rather than good senders of information. In short, we don't want their ideas, but we do want to know if they can get the right answer about the information they should understand. 2.
