Section A
11. W: You look awful. What happened to you?
M: I quarreled with my wife last night. I want a wife to take care of me.
Q: What does the man mean?
12. W: Are you asleep or are you just pretending to sleep?
M: I‘m really asleep.
W: If you can hear me, you must be faking it. Good, you can give me a hand with the chores.
Q: What is the probable relationship between the man and the woman?
13. M: Mary doesn‘t want me to take the job. She says our child is too young and the job requires much
travelling.
W: You should talk to her again and see if you can find a way out. Think about the gains and losses before you make a decision.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
14. M: Cathy and Bill got a separation.
W: It‘s really a shame. I‘ve heard that they quarrel, but they‘ve always made up afterwards.
Q: What probably happened to Cathy and Bill?
15. M: What kind of father am I? My only son almost died, and I did n‘t even know he was ill.
W: Don‘t blame yourself. You were too busy to pay attention to him. If his mother was still alive,
things would have been much better.
Q: Why does the man blame himself?
16. M: You had a job interview yesterday, didn‘t you? How did it go?
W: Not too bad, I guess. There were about 20 candidates competing for the sales manager‘s job. And finally it was down to three of us, but, unfortunately, the other two are men. And they seemed better qualified.
Q: What does the woman imply?
17. W: It is so hard for the female graduates to find a suitable job these days.
M: Yeah, it is also the case to the male graduates.
Q: What does the man mean?
18. M: Congratulations! Vicky! You have been offered the chance to study abroad for half a year.
W: Thanks, Jack! But it‘s hard for me to make the decision. I really don‘t know how to strike a balance between being a mother and a teacher.
Q: Why is the woman not so happy?
Conversation one
Mother: Hello, Frank, this is Mum. Have you made any plans for your work after graduation?
Frank: Well, Mum, I‘d prefer a job at a large hospital in Beijing or shanghai.
Mother: As a doctor?
Frank: No, not exactly a doctor. I‘d rather work as a nursing officer. It‘s em… it‘s what a lot of people call a male nurse.
Mother: A male nurse? Are you kidding, Frank?
Frank: No, I‘m serious, Mum. I know, people usually think nurses are female and male nurses seem to be strange and they are assumed to be failed doctors but…
Mother: Frank, I thought you really wanted to be a doctor?
Frank: No, Can you believe that I really want to be a nurse and that er…er… it isn‘t just that I may fail as a doctor?
Mother: Frank, my dear, don‘t you realize that nurses do different things from doctors?
Frank: I know very well, Mum. As a male nurse you have much more contact with the er… patients and you know, a long term responsibility for their …their welfare. Huh, there‘s no way I‘d want to be a doctor…they have practically no personal contact with their patients…
Mother: Dear, you should know people usually think nursing is female‘s work. It‘s not suitable for a male, because it require care and patience.
Frank: Mum, that‘s a stereotypical view of nursing. The world has changed, and so has people‘s attitudes towards job roles. I‘m really interested in this job and have qualifications for it, why shouldn‘t I do it? Believe me, Mum, I‘m going to be a really good nurse.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Mike: I‘m sorry, Jane. I wish I could. But…
Jane: Please, Mike, don‘t tell me you are busy again this weekend. You are always busy with your work, ever-ending work. Why don‘t you think about your son and me?
Mike: I do. You should know, Jane, what I‘m working for. I‘m trying my best to earn more money to support the family. Jane, you know, it‘s getting difficult to make ends meet.
Jane: Yes, you are doing your best. And I know you are a very successful manager. But Mike, you
have to admit you are not a devoted father.
Mike: That‘s unfair, Jane. It really hurt me when you say that.
Jane: It seems to me that all you really care about is your career; you don‘t show enough concern for my work or the education of our son
Mike: What do you mean, Jane? I do care about you and our son. But the problem is I…I just don‘t have time to take care of the family. I feel really terrible.
Jane: Mike, what I mean… I mean you should try to understand me, understand how hard it is as a working mother. I have to strive to keep the balance between being a mother and a professional. You know it‘s really hard. Keeping up the family responsibilities at home, and still having to work hard at my job. You should know there is always the possibility of being laid off.
Mike: Don‘t worry so much, Jane. To be honest, I‘d rather you stay at home to be a full-time housewife, so…
Jane: No, no way. I wouldn‘t give up my career for anything.
Mike: All right, all right, let‘s talk about it later.

Section B
Passage One
More often than not, household chores will lead to tired and angry couples. It‘s known to all that housework often triggers disputes in a marriage. Surrounded by piles of laundry, dirty plates, both husbands and wives feel stressed. But here the wives voice is louder, especially for those with kids. According to a survey, each child brings an increase of more than thirty hours of housework per week. The accumulating cleaning, shopping, and cooking just drive the wife crazy.
In an idealistic case, the husband will help out. Yet most bread-earners habitually turn a blind eye. When wives bury them in dishes and anticipate emotional response, husbands are changing channels for action movies. Moreover, when being warned about the wives dissatisfaction, they show complete ignorance. Because of this, they are often accused of laziness and sexism.
The truth is, due to the different makeup of brain, men and women take different attitude towards housework. A man‘s brain takes in less than that of a woman. Therefore, he can feel at ease with a mess, while, a woman would rather die if she could not restore the order. Further research reveals that men attach little personal identity to housework. Instead, they are looking to the outside and perseveringly pursue power and recognition. This is also the reason why men tend to become a workaholic when they have kids. They are proving their worth in their own way.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. According to the passage, who will feel most stressed?
27. Which of the following best describes men‘s attitudes towards housework?
28. Why do most men turn a blind eye to housework?
Passage Two
Jane Brown has been married for 12 years. She has three children, and lives in a suburb outside Columbus Ohio. When her youngest child reached school-age, Jane decided to go back to work. She felt that she should contribute to the household finance. Her salary can make a difference between a financial struggle and a secure financial situation for her family. Jane also felt bored and frustrated in her role as a homemaker and wanted to be more involved in life outside her home. Jane was worried about her children‘s adjustment to this new situation. But she arranged for them to go stay with the woman
nearby after school each afternoon. They seemed to be happy with the arrangement. The problem seemed to be between Jane and her husband Bill. When Jane was at home all day, she was able to clean the house, go grocery shopping, wash the clothes, take care of the children, and cook two or three meals each day. She was very busy of course, but she succeeded in getting everything done. Now the same things need to be done, but Jane has only evenings and early mornings to do them. Both Jane and Bill are tired when they arrive home at 6:00 PM. Bill is accustomed to sitting down and reading the paper, or watching TV until dinner is ready. This is exactly what Jane feels like doing. But someone has to fix dinner and Bill expects it to be Jane. Jane is beco ming very angry at Bill‘s attitude. She feels that they should share the household jobs. But Bill feels that everything should be the same as it was before Jane went back to work.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. Why did Jane want to go back to work？
30. How did Jane spend her days before she went back to work?
31. What problem arose when Jane went back to work? 32. What does the story try to tell us? Passage Three
Barbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. Her husband, Tom, is an engineer and makes an excellent salary. Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing. She quit her job when she became pregnant, but is now interested in returning to work. She‘s been offered an excellent job with the government. Her husband feels it‘s unnecessary for her to work since the family does not need the added income. He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children. If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that he should do volunteer work one or two days a week. Barbara, on the other hand, has missed the excitement of her profession and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volunteer work. She would also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for money whenever she wants to buy something. She does not think it‘s necessary to stay home every day with children and she knows a very reliable baby-sitter who‘s willing to come to her house. Tom does not think a baby-sitter can replace a mother and thinks it‘s a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who‘s not part of the family.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What was Barbara‘s profession before her pregnancy?
34. What does Barbara‘s husband think she should do if she wants to work?
35. What does Barbara‘s husband think about hiring a babysitter?

Then, you‘ll be all set.
Q: Where is this conversation probably taking place？
12. W: Judy earned a lot of money over the summer as an advisor for that agency.
M: I don‘t doubt it. What surprises me is that she is still working there, now that
classes have started again.
Q: What does the man say about Judy?
13. M: How about joining me for a cup of coffee?
W: I‘d love to, but I‘m exhausted. I was up till 3 this morning preparing for the

M : You look terrific! It seems that your effort has paid off.
Q : What does the man imply about the woman?

aggressiveness.
M: Oh. did she? But I think her frankness is really something to be appreciated.
Q: What does the man mean?
16. W: I‘ve been working on this report all day. And I‘ve still got 12 pages to write. At this rate, I‘ll
never get it done by tomorrow.

W: It is a little dated though. You might want to submit a current one.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
Conversation One
M: ...And where do you recommend I shall stay? What‘s the Holiday Inn like?
W: It‘s nice there. It‘s in the city centre and has all the usual business facilities you‘ll need. The service is first class.
M: Oh, good. So I‘ll get a room there. Now, what‘s the best way to get into the hotel from the airport? Should I take a taxi?
W: Well, you can, but you don‘t have to. The subway system is very convenient.
M: Mmm..., Can you tell me something about the business hours? I mean, what time the banks open?
W: The banks? They open at half past eight and close at four thirty.
M: I see. And are they open on Saturday too?
W: I‘m afraid not. And I‘d better warn you, the shops close ea rly on Saturday. During the week they‘re open until half past six, but on Saturdays they close at four.
M: At four! Right. Now, what‘s the weather like at this time of year?
W: Well, it‘s usually warm. But sometimes it turns very cold and wet. So don‘t forget to take what you may need with you. By the way, when are you going on this trip?
M: Oh, not until the middle of the month. The fifteenth, I think. Anything else you
want to advise me?
W: No, nothing I can see. It‘s a nice country, peaceful and calm, and people are

W: We‘re talking this hour about how and why people might become addicted to
the Internet. Dr. James at Maryland University joins me now from his office in
College Park.
M: Thank you very much for inviting me.
W: Is Internet addiction a relatively new thing?
M: Well, some may have been addicted for a while.
W: How does it present itself ?
M: Well, some of them have issues like relationship problems, or problems maintaining their grades because they are spending so much time on the Net.
W: But I think the computer is a very positive thing. How do I know when my impulse to go online will turn me into an Internet addict?
M: Uh...I‘m not sure the exact amount of time is really the issue, but I think if it begins to affect other areas of your life, such as your work or school performance. One of the problems with the Internet, is that people start losing some of the skills that make relationships successful. If you are beginning to feel anxious or depressed or empty or lonely and you know you really look forward to those times when you can be online to be connected with other people in that way, then, a serious issue is starting to happen.
W: What if you start giving up other things, like going out for a walk...is that a symptom?
M: Well, I think it‘s helpful to have some sort of balance in your life. If you can, spend some time on the Internet and then go out and take a walk.
W: So that‘s how we can avoid Internet addiction. Thank you very m uch, Dr.James.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Section B
Passage One
The French are at heart traditionalists. Though they dearly love revolutions, they disapprove of
shifts in behavior. Everything must be done properly, an expression that applies equally to getting married and getting drunk, stuffing a duck and filling in a form, addressing an envelop and addressing a teacher. There is an established order of things, and the order was established by the French.
The desire to maintain standards is best seen on any holiday in the summer. Where the Italians, the British, and even the Germans, relax sufficiently to leave there faces unshaven, or mealtimes become irregular, or dresses become strange, the French behave as though they were still under the microscope of real life.
French men and women take two hours over their morning making up. Watch any Frenchman at a campsite in the summer and see how long he spends shaving, trimming his moustache, and on general showers.
Wives cook three-course lunches which they serve to their husbands in the stuffy heat at little tables with linen napkins and polished dishware. The white wine must stand in an ice bucket. Everything is correct---- the bread, the cheese, the sauce.
Mr. eats greedily. Mrs.stands behind him, and a little to the side, nodding happily. She will do the washing-up immediately the meal is finished. All will be neat and tidy before any other activity is even considered.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What does the speaker say about the French ?
27. Which people are keen on order according to the passage?
28. According to the speaker, what will the wife do after the meal ?
Passage Two
Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. There are church weddings; there are weddings on mountain tops with guests barefooted; and there have been weddings underwater on the ocean floor. But many weddings, no matter where they are performed, include certain traditional customs. Before a couple is married, they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby, their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready, then comes the most exciting moment. The wedding itself usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. The guests enter the church first while the wedding music is played. The bride carrying flowers enters last with her father who will ― give her away‖ . The bridegroom enters the church from a side door. Then the couple will exchange their solemn promises to each other. It is traditional to use the words ― To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to care, till death do us part ‖ . Following this, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom. After the ceremony there is often a party, called a ―reception ‖ which gives the wedding guests an opportunity to congratulate the newly wedded couple. After all the procedures, the couple run to the car under a shower of rice thrown by the wedding guests. And then the couple just go on their honeymoon.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What is in common for those weddings held in different locations?
30. What will the new couple do before they exchange rings according to the passage?
31. What is the custom before the couple go on a honeymoon?
Passage Three
When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for a one year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America‘s fastest growing business.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples—people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another.
They are saved a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don‘t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What has become one of America‘s fastest growing businesses?
33. Why do some people prefer to rent furniture? 34. What can you infer from the passage?
35. Which can best serve as the title of the passage?

W: Yeah, I know. But I still prefer some vegetables and fruits rather than the food with much fat and sugar.
Q: Where does this conversation take place?

M: No, thanks. There‘s a bus.
Q: What does the woman intend to do?
M: Excuse me, do you know when the train from Xi‘an will arrive?
W: It should be 7:30 p.m. But it is told that the time of arrival will be delayed for one hour because of a temporary stop on the way.
Q: When will the train arrive?
15. M: My kitchen sink tap has been leaking ever since we moved in two weeks ago. I wonder if I should inform the manager.

Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
Conversation One:
M: Hi, Jane! You missed a great lecture today. What‘s wrong with you?
W: Oh, I overslept again. This is a really bad habit. What did Dr. Smith talk about in his lecture?
M: We talked about George Washington‘s false teeth.
W: Oh, I knew it! His teeth were made of wood.
M: A professor at a dental school in California recently presented a paper showing that Washington‘s teeth were made of elephant ivory.
W: But why do people say Washington‘s teeth were made of wood?
M: A set of his teeth that were made of elephant ivory were shown publicly at various exhibitions about a hundred years ago. The ivory had turned a very dark color, and I guess, it looks like wood.
W: Yes, I‘ve seen some ivory that was a dark brown color.
M: It see ms that ivory turns dark easily with age, especially if it‘s exposed to drinks, such as coffee, tea, or wine. I guess that‘s how the story got started.

M: That‘s considering you are only 8-hour drive away from your hometown. Why haven‘t you been home for so long? W: It‘s not that I didn‘t want to go home but because my parents were volunteering in the charitable organization in Central America.
M: In that case, the more you should visit them in the summer.
W: That‘s true. But I didn‘t want to spend the wh ole summer staying at home. I want to make some money and pay off my tuition fees too.
M: Well, you can always get a loan.
W: Loan? I hate the idea of borrowing. I would rather make my own money and pay it off.
M: That‘s true. It‘s not uncommon for people to have whopping bills to pay once they‘ve graduated.
W: Yes, that‘s exactly what I didn‘t want to get myself into. What do I do about money?
M: Well, I think you can work part-time when you are at home.
W: I was thinking about that, but my parents think I should be at home with them full-time.

Passage One
Child labor – the employment of children in industry, often against their will–has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The condition Dickens described continues almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than large factories.
Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often light, it is often harmful to the health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work.
Solutions to the problem of child labor are better laws to protect young children, greater supervision of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in these ways can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives—childhood.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What are the conditions under which young children work?
27. What seems to be the reason that young children go to work?
28. What does the writer suggest to solve the problem of child labor?
Passage Two
Scientists say they have developed a camera that can help identify when a person is not telling the truth. The new camera measures the heat released by a person‘s face.
The scientists say the camera correctly identified lying in more than eight percent of the people they tested. They say the device might one day be used in high-level security operations at airports or border crossings.
The scientists based their work on the theory that people who plan to trick someone else release physical or chemical signals. They say these signals can help security officials prevent wrongdoings.
The researchers say the camera is designed to measure small changes in the body. They note that the flow of blood to the surface of the skin increases around the eyes when a person lies.
The scientists used twenty people to test the heat-sensing camera. Eight of the people took part in a crime that was not real. They attacked a human-like object and stole money from it. They were asked to lie and say they were innocent of the crime. The twelve other people in the study were told nothing about the make-believe crime.
The researchers used the special camera while questioning the twenty people about the crime. The camera showed that six of the eight people who carried out the crime had increased heat around their eyes when they lied. Eleven of the twelve people who knew nothing about the crime were correctly identified as innocent. When they told the truth, the area around their eyes remained cool.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What is the main idea of the talk? 30. What is the working principle of the new camera?
31. How many liars were detected in the experiment?
Passage Three
Old age in the United States presents many problems and opportunities. As a result of improved medical services, people live longer than they used to. This increase in longevity creates a wide range of social needs. The medical specialty of gerontology has opened up new research areas and careers related to the elderly.
Because of changes in the family structure from extended to nuclear, the elderly have to create existences apart from basic small family units. This situation is complicated by the fact that many of their friends may have died and their children may have moved away.
The elderly must set up a new life. Often, the elderly must rely on a fixed income—Social Security and pensions—and gradually diminished savings. While some live with their children, many more live by themselves, with
a friend or in a nursing home.
However, the increasing proportion of elderly people in society has given them a new political power. They have formed organizations to voice their own needs and concerns to local state and federal agencies. Lobbying for such issues as increased Social Security benefits, better health care, income tax benefits and rent controls has brought to the public an increased awareness of the determination of the elderly to assert their ability to deal effectively with their own lives.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
What leads to a longer life span according to the passage?
Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage?
What seems not to be the reason why the elderly have to create existences apart from basic small family units?
What‘s the author‘s attitude towards old age?

Passage One:
Before 1883, most cities in the United States had their own time. They set their time by the sun. This made many problems for the railroad companies whose trains had to follow more than 300 different timetables.
In 1883, William Allen made a plan to divide the United States into four different parts called time zones. This made things easier for the railroad companies. Now every city in the same time zone has the same time. These four time zones are the Pacific Standard Time (PST), the Mountain Standard Time (MST), the Central Standard Time (CST), and the Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Today most parts of the United States have daylight savings time for five months of the year. People want to have more daylight hours after work. To do this, people turn their clocks forward one hour before they go to bed on the last Sunday in April. They turn them back one hour before they go to bed on the last Sunday in October.
We can‘t really save an hour of daylight to use when we need it. We can change only what the clock says. Before we changed t he clock for daylight saving time, it was dark in the evening at seven o‘clock. With daylight saving time, it is daylight at seven in the evening, but dark at eight o‘clock. Of course the number of daylight hours is the same.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What do we learn about the time in the United States before 1883?
27. What happened in 1883?
28. To save day light, when do the Americans turn their clocks forward one hour?
Passage Two:
To get a driver‘s license, you must take three tests. The first test is a vision test. This test checks your eyes to see if you have to wear glasses when you drive. The second test is a written test that checks your knowledge of highway and traffic regulations. You can prepare for this test by studying a booklet that you can get at the driver‘s license office. After you pass the written test, you receive an instruction permit. This permit allows you to practice driving with an experienced driver. The last test you have to take is a road test. This checks your driving ability. If you pass it, you will receive your driver‘s license.
When you go to the driver's license office to take the road test, you must provide your own vehicle. First, the license examiner checks the mechanical condition of your car. Then the examiner gets into the car with you and asks you to drive in regular traffic. While you are driving, the examiner tests you for such things as starting, stopping, turning, backing, and parking. If you can‘t control the car properly, or if you violate a traffic regulation while you are taking the test, you fail the examination. You will have to practice driving more until you take the road test again and pass it.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What does the third test check?
30. What does the instruction permit allow you to do?
31. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about the road test?
Passage Three:
Tornadoes, which are extremely destructive windstorms, occur often during the spring and summer. These storms have spinning winds that blow at 300 miles an hour or more. They develop when masses of hot air and cold air come together, and they are usually accompanied by severe thunderstorms. Tornadoes destroy almost everything that they hit. One of the worst tornadoes in history occurred in the spring of 1928. This tornado, which traveled through parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana of the United States, killed almost 700 people.
A hurricane, or typhoon, is a severe storm that develops over the ocean in tropical areas. It has two parts: an eye or calm area in the center of the storm, and wall clouds. The wall clouds, which surround the eye and may have a diameter of more than 100 miles, have winds that blow at seventy-five miles per hour or more and contain large amounts of moisture. When a hurricane moves over land, it can cause extensive wind damage and flooding as well as loss of human life.
Whenever severe weather threatens, you should listen to a radio or watch television for storm information. If a tornado warning is issued, you should take cover immediately. The best place to go is a basement. If you cannot reach a basement quickly, you should get away from windows and lie down on the floor in a small room if you are in a house or an apartment. If you are driving in a car when a tornado comes, you should stop, get out of the car, and lie down in a ditch along the side of the road. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about tornado?
33. Where did the tornado travel in the spring of 1928?
34. What damage can a hurricane cause?
35. What should you do when a tornado comes?

W: So, when do you work on your website? You said one time that you create it at home?
M: Well, my wife and I often watch TV or talk until 10:00 o‘clock. She then often reads while I work on my site, and I sometimes stay up until the early hours of the morning, but I try to finish everything by one or two.
W: And then you get up at 5:00 am?
M: Well, yeah, but it's important to live a balanced life. I enjoy what I do, but you have to set aside time for family and yourself.
W: I agree.
M: But I think my wife has the toughest job. She spends her whole day taking care of our family ...
taking the kids to school, working in the garden, buying groceries, taking the kids to piano lessons...

Are there pubs in China?
W: Yes. Most of the goers are young people. They like to stay with their friends after work and have a fun time.

Passage One:
The dog has often been an unselfish friend to man. It is always grateful to its master. It helps man in many ways. Certain breeds of dogs are used in criminal investigations. They are trained to sniff out drugs and bombs. They help police to catch criminals.
The dogs that help in criminal investigations are trained at a school called the Military Dog Studies Branch of the U. S. Air Force in Lackland, Texas. The dogs to be trained are selected by an air force team. This team visits large cities across the country to buy the dogs; They may buy dogs from private citizens for up to $ 750 each. Some citizens freely give their dogs. The dogs selected must be healthy, brave and aggressive. They must be able to fight back if they are attacked. The dogs chosen are between
the ages of one and three. They are given a medical examination when they arrive at the school. Their physical examination includes X-rays and heart tests. The trainee dogs undergo the first stage of training when they arrive in Lackland. This is an 11-week course for patrol duty. After this course, the best dogs are selected to go on another 9-week course. They learn drug sniffing or bomb-sniffing. After this course, the dogs are ready for their jobs in the cities or on air force bases.
The training given to a drug-sniffing dog is different from that given to a bomb-sniffing dog. A drug-sniffing dog is trained to scratch and dig for the drugs when he sniffs them. A bomb-sniffing dog sits down when he finds a bomb. That is the alert for hidden explosives.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. How are the dogs obtained for training? 27. What is the first stage of training for the dogs?

In 1968, the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had a problem. The city‘s school system needed a new school building and teachers but did not have the money to pay for this multi-million-dollar project.
City officials solved the problem in a unique way. They decided to use the many scientific and Cultural institutions in the city as the classrooms. Experts who worked in the various institutions would be the teachers. About 100 institutions in Philadelphia--public, private, and commercial--helped the program.
The experiment in institutions in education, known as the Parkway Program, began in February 1969. John Bremer, an Englishman and an innovator in the field of education, planned the program and became its director.
The Program has grown in size from 142 to 500 high school students and is so popular that thousands of applicants are denied places each year. The Program gives a freedom to high school education never known before. Besides basic courses required for a diploma—languages, history, science--students may choose from more than one hundred other courses. Any subject will be offered if an instructor can be found. Every group of 15 boys and girls belo ngs to a ―tutorial group‖, led by a teacher and one assistant. Students in the Program say that school is no longer a place but an interesting activity.

An old friend of mine from abroad telephoned from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was still at the office at the time. After explaining where my new flat was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat. Maybe I would be home rather late, I advised him to go into the kitchen and help himself to food and drink.
Two hours later my friend telephoned me from the flat in which he stayed. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having just had a truly wonderful meal. He had fried two eggs and helped himself to some cold chicken from the refrigerator.
Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. When I asked him if he had reached the flat without difficulty, he answered that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat, but fortunately the living room window just by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in. I listened to all this in astonishment. There is no apple tree in front of my living room, but there is one in front of my neighbo r‘s !

Q: Why does the woman complain?
Conversation one
M: Hey Linda, did you get that letter about the new options for food service next year?
W: Not yet. Are there a lot of changes?
M: There sure are. Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year, we are now able to choose seven, ten, fourteen or twenty-one meals per week. They give you a card with the number of meals you get for a week marked on it.
W: That‘s a big change, Tom. And a complicated system.
M: Yeah. It will be much better for people who don‘t eat 3 meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria, because they won‘t have to pay for meals they don‘t eat.
W: So what‘s the deal for those who do eat at school all the time?
M: It‘s better for them, too. Because the more meals you sign a contract for, the cheaper each one is. W: I see. It still sounds rather complicated.
M: True. It took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the ten meals.
W: Why is that?
M: Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends. So the ten-meal plan gives me lunch and dinner each weekday at a fairly low price. And I won‘t be paying for meals I don‘t usually eat. W: What about the weekend when you are on campus?
M: Well, there are often guests on campus on weekends. So they allow you to buy single meals on a walk-in basis on Saturdays and Sundays. The price per meal is much higher that way. But I am away so much that it will still be less money for me to pay single price on the weekends rather than sign up for the fourteen meals a week plan.
W: Oh. I guess I‘ll have to sit down and figure out my eating pattern, so I can get the best deal. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What‘s the main characteristic of the new way of paying for meals?
20. What is the advantage of the new plan for those students who eat all their meals at the school
cafeteria?
21. How can guests have meals on campus at weekends?
Conversation two
W: Good evening and welcome to this week‘s Business World, a program for and about business people. Tonight we have Mr. Angeleno who came to the US six year ago, and is now an established businessman with three restaurants in town. Tell us Mr. Angeleno, how did you get started?
M. Well, I started off with a small diner. I did all the cooking myself and my wife waited on tables. It was really too much work for two people. My cooking is great. And word got around town about the food. Within a year, I had to hire another cook and four waitresses. When that restaurant became very busy, I decided to expand my business. Now with three places my main concern is keeping the business successful and running smoothly.
W: Do you advertise?
M: Oh, yes. I don‘t have any TV commercials, because they are too expensive. But I advertise a lot on radio and in local newspapers. My children used to distribute ads, in nearby shopping centres, but we don‘t need to do that anymore.
W: Why do you believe you have been so successful?
M: Ehm, I always serve the freshest possible food and I make the atmosphere as comfortable and as pleasant as I can, so that my customers will want to come back.
W: So you always aim to please the customers?
M: Absolutely! Without them I would have no business at all.
W: Thank you, Mr. Angeleno. I think your advice will be helpful to those just starting out in business. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What is the woman‘s occupation?
23. What do we learn about Mr. Angeleno‘ business at its beginning?
24. What does Mr. Angeleno say about advertising his business?
25. What is the main reason for his success of the business?
Section B
Passage One
Business ethics is the behavior that a business sticks to in its daily dealings with the world. The ethics of a particular business can be diverse. They apply not only to how the business interacts with the world in general, but also to their one-on-one dealings with a single customer.
Many businesses have gained a bad reputation just by being in business. To some people, businesses are interested in making money, and that is the bottom line. It could be called capitalism in its purest form. Making money is not wrong in itself. It is the manner in which some businesses conduct themselves that brings up the question of ethical behavior.
Good business ethics should be a part of every business. There are many factors to consider. When a company does business with another that is considered unethical, does this make the first company unethical by association? Many people would say yes, the first business has a responsibility and it is now a link in the chain of unethical businesses.
Many global businesses, including most of the major brands that the public use, can be seen not to think too highly of good business ethics. Many major brands have been fined millions for breaking ethical business laws. Money is the major deciding factor.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Why have many businesses had a bad reputation?
27. What is the result when a company does a business with another that is considered unethical?
28. What is said about many global businesses?
Passage Two
Speaking of shopping, we will think of the foul air in supermarkets, long queues before counters and limited options on shelves. Now virtual business can spare you all the unpleasantness. More and more companies are promoting sales with computers. By going online, companies can achieve direct and immediate contact with their potential customers. In addition to websites, you can see moving banners and it is difficult to resist the temptation. Successful sales promotion campaign so skillfully mixes promotional and non-promotional information that viewers will unconsciously take in the hidden messages.
In order to invite more websites visitors and encourage customer loyalty, information is delivered regularly and many interactive activities are cultivated. For example, a shampoo company may introduce information about its new products once a week and then hold a contest. Correct answers earn points and those who get top scores will be rewarded. A computer game company may offer free download games and invite fanatics to a competition. A micro-wave oven company may promise discounts and a beauty salon may send out coupons. For virtual business, the biggest problem is audience measurement and tracking. Even if it can ―push‖ information to every computer‘s user, it‘s still difficult to assess how many of them really read the banners. More than that, such promotion will inevitably lead to alienation between sellers and buyers. Therefore, online promotion can only

Book I译文(大学体验英语)英语第一册
Book I Unit 1 College Life A篇学无止境 故事发生在一所东部大学里。那是终考的最后一天。一幢教学楼的台阶上围着一群大四的工科生，都在谈论即刻就要开始的考试。他们脸上都带着自信。这是毕业前的最后一场考试了，考完后，即是毕业典礼。然后他们将各奔前程。 话题转到了工作上，有的谈起了找好的工作，有的则谈论着要找的工作。4年的大学学习给了他们自信，使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。 眼前这场考试，不过是一碟小菜罢了。老师已经说过可以携带所需的任何书本或笔记，只要不在考试时交头接耳就行了。 学生们兴高采烈地步入教室。试卷发下来了。看到只有5道论述题，他们一个个脸笑上开了花。 3小时过去后，老师开始收卷。学生们先前的那份自信再也看不到了，而是满脸惊慌。老师握着试卷，面对全班，大家都沉默不语。 她扫了一眼眼前这一张张不安的脸，问道："5道题全答完的有多少？" 没人举手。 "做完4道的有多少？" 还是没人举手。 "3道呢？两道呢？" 学生们再也坐不住了。 "那么一道呢？总有做完一道的吧。" 教室里依然鸦雀无声。老师搁下试卷，说道："这我早料到了。" "我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经完成了4年工科学习，这个领域你们还有很多东西要学。其实，你们答不出的这些问题在日常生活中很常见。"她笑了笑，接着说，"这门课你们都能通过，但要记住，你们虽然已经大学毕业，但学习才刚刚开始。" 多年后，我已忘了这位老师的姓名，但牢牢记住了她的教诲。 B篇回眸大学 4年的时光已经过去，这一刻终于来临了。不到两周，我就要毕业了。此刻回想起来，我仍不敢相信时光飞逝如斯。我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边打听教学楼在哪儿。现在我已是大四的学生，常会以羡慕的眼光看着一年级的新生。每天我都祈愿时间会凝滞，接下来的两周过得更慢一些。许多我认识的人都迫不及待地想要毕业，我却恰恰相反。我宁愿时光倒流，再度重温大学生活的每一天。 大学生活使我学到了许许多多，而且大都是在课外学到的。大二的生活也许是我生命中最值得留念的一段。正是这一年，我终于让妈妈相信我住校没有问题，她终于让我去了。正是这一年，我结交了一些终身好友，历经多次的成功与失败使我对自己有了更多的了解。大二生活还有着种种新的尝试，到山地去野营，把信手涂鸦的诗投到报社，还在课堂上给老师画漫画。 走在校园熟悉的路上，不知不觉中就陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆中。发觉自己好想从头来过，再次体味大学生活的欢娱和激动。一想到毕业心里就一阵阵恐慌。从记事起我就一直在读书。我觉得还有很多东西想学，可是却不得不毕业了。世界如此之大，可能发生的事情太多太多。过去4年中，我一直被一张安全的网包围着。学生这个身份总能让人感到欣慰，使我可以躲开外面世界的无情现实。 不到两周就要离校了，每每想到就要毕业，我就打心眼儿里感到不安。因为我从记事起就一直是名学生。我觉得自己是在回避毕业。每当别人问起我大学毕业后打算做什么，我就想大声尖叫，我不知道以后想做些什么。甚至不敢想像早上醒来没有课上会是什么样的情形。

Unit 1 The Evolving Notion of Home “Home, sweet home” is a phrase that expresses an essential attitude in the United States. Whether the reality of life in the family house is sweet or not so sweet, the ideal of home has great importance for many people. This ideal is a vital part of the American dream. This dream, dramatized in the history of nineteenth-century European settlers of the American West, was to find a piece of land, build a house for one’s family, and start a farm. These small households were portraits of independence: the entire family — mother, father, children, even grandparents — living in a small house and working together to support each other. Everyone understood the life-and-death importance of family cooperation and hard work. Although most people in the United States no longer live on farms, the ideal of home ownership is just as strong in the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth. When U.S. soldiers came home after World War II, for example, they dreamed of buying houses and starting families. So there was a tremendous boom in home building. The new houses, typically in the suburbs, were often small and nearly identical, but they satisfied a deep need. Many saw the single-family house as the basis of their way of life. For the new suburbanites of the 1950s and 1960s, however, life inside their small houses was very different from life on a farm. First, the family spent much less time together in the house. The father frequently drove, or commuted, as much as an hour to work each morning. The children went to school all day and played after school with neighborhood children. The suburb itself was sometimes called a bedroom community because people used their houses basically for sleeping. Second, the suburb was not a stable community: Families moved frequently as the fathers sought upward mobility — better-paying jobs and bigger houses. Although the idea of home was still as precious as always, it had taken on a different meaning. In the 1970s and 1980s, as more women entered the labor force, the family spent even less time together. But the picture is changing: People can now telecommute, or work at home, while being linked to the office by means of their computers. More and more people can now stay at home. So the old expression could change from
