F: What sort of works advertised?
M: Well, all sorts of things, really. Administrative work and more
specialized work, the sort of thing I can do. Some of the projects can last
five or six months, and others can just be a couple of days. I can decide
more or less when to work. So I can manage my own time.
F: I can see it’s good for you. What is your company get out of this?
M: Well, I still have all my old contacts at work, so I know who to
contact to get something done. The company gets flexibility, too. Once the
job’s over, that’s it. I’m not on their books any more.
Questions 19-21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. Why does Simon find his retired life enjoyable?
20. How does Simon get to know about the company’s available posts?
21. Why does the company adopt the phased retirement scheme?
Long Conversation Two
W: Oh, where are we going?
M: I want to show you something.
W: I know, but what is it?
M: A farm. It’s just down this road. It’s a small place, but at least it
would be our own.
W: A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm?
M: It isn’t very large, only 40 acres. We wouldn’t have to pay very
much right now.
W: Is there a house on the place?
M: A small one, two bedrooms, but it needs to be fixed up a little. I can
do the job myself.
W: OK. Is there enough space for a kitchen garden?
M: There is about half an acre around the house. That’s plenty of
space.
Long Conversation One
F: Simon, how does it feel to be retired?
M: Well, not so bad.
F: How have you been spending your time?
M: I have been spending more time with my family. I’ve also travelled a bit,
you know, off season when everywhere is less crowded and hotels cost less.
F: Great.
M: You know I haven’t stopped work completely.
F: Yes, could you tell us more about this?
M: I’m on a scheme that’s called phased retirement; I had a six-month
break from work, after that I could apply for project work with the company I
used to work for.
F: How does the scheme work?
M: Well, it’s a trial at the moment. Instead of hiring temporary stuff, the
company advertises posts on its website that retired employees like myself
can access.

W: Then we can grow our own fresh vegetables. And maybe keep a few
chickens, couldn’t we?
M: Yes, and we can probably grow a lot of our own food.
W: What are you thinking about growing, if we do take this place?
M: Well, it really isn’t big enough for corn. I thought we might try to
raise a crop of potatoes.
W: Potatoes? There are a lot of work.
M: We are used to hard work, aren’t we?
W: Yes, we are, but the money. Do we have enough to get started? It
seems like a dream.
M: I think we’ve saved enough. We can pay a little on the farm and
maybe put a few dollars down on the tractor, too.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
Q 22: What are the speakers going to do at the time of the conversation?
Q 23: What does the man say about the farm?
Q 24: Why does the man intend to grow potatoes rather than corn on the
farm?
Q 25: What is the woman’s greatest concern about the man’s plan?
Passage One
Members of the city council and distinguished guests, it is my privilege to
introduce to you today Mr. Robert Washington, chief of our city’s police force.
He will address us on the subject of the Community Policing Program. Most
of you know that Mr. Washington has a distinguished record as head of our
police force for more than ten years. However, you may not know that he also
holds a master’s degree in criminology and studied abroad for a year with the
international police force which deals with crimes around the world. Mr.
Washington first introduced the Community Policing Program 8 years ago.
The idea behind the program is to get the police officers out of their cars and
into our neighborhood when they can talk directly to merchants and residents
about the real dynamics of our city. These officers do more than make
arrests. They try to find ways to help solve the problems that contribute to
crime in the first place. Often that means hooking people up with services
offered by other city agencies, such as schools, hospitals, housing, drug
treatment centers. And the program seems to be working: crime is down and
our citizens report that they feel more secure. Today Mr. Washington is
going to tell us more about this program. Now let’s welcome Mr. Robert
Washington.
26. What is the purpose of the speaker’s remarks?
He will address us on the subject of community policing program.
27. What does the speaker say about Mr. Robert Washington?
Passage Two
There are between 3000 and 6000 public languages in the world, and we
must add approximately 6 billion private languages since each one of us
necessarily has one. Considering these facts, the possibilities for
breakdowns in communication seem infinite in number. However, we do
communicate successfully from time to time. And we do learn to speak
languages. But learning to speak languages seems to be a very mysterious
process. For a long time, people thought that we learned a language only by
imitation and association. For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts
to cry. The mother says, “Hot, hot!” And the baby, when it stops crying,
imitates the mother and says, “Hot, hot!” However, Noam Chomsky, a
famous expert in language, pointed out that although children do learn some
words by imitation and association, they also combine words to make
meaningful sentences in ways that are unique, unlearned and creative.
Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before,
Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with the ability to learn
language. Chomsky meant that underneath all the differences between
public and private languages, there is a universal language mechanism that
makes it possible for us, as infants, to learn any language in the world. This
theory explains the potential that human infants have for learning language.
But it does not really explain how children come to use language in
particular ways.
Question 30. Why does the speaker say there are great possibilities for
2文档来源为:从网络收集整理.word版本可编辑.欢迎下载支持.

communication breakdowns?
There are numerous public and private languages.
Question 31. What is Chomsky’s point on the ability to learn a language?
Human infants are born with the ability to learn language and the potential to
learn any language in the world.
Question 32. What does Chomsky’s theory fail to explain according to the
speaker?
It does not really explain how children come to use language in particular
ways.

长对话
Conversation One
W: Gosh! Have you seen this, Richard?
M: Seen What?
W: In the paper, it says there’s a man going round pretending he’s from the
electricity board. He’s been calling at people’s homer, saying he’s come to
check that all their appliances are safe. The he gets around them to make him
a cup of tea and while they are out of the room, he steals their money,
handbag, whatever and makes off with it.
M: But you know Jane, it’s partly their own fault. You should never let
anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.
W: It’s all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says
electricity or gas, and you automatically think they are OK, especially if
they flash a card to you.
M: Does this man have an ID then?
W: Yes, that’s just it! It seems he used to work for the electricity board at
one time. According to the paper, the police are warning people, especially
pensioners not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment. It’s a bit
sad. One old lady told them she’d just been to the post office to draw her
pension when he called. She said he must have followed her home. He stole
the whole lot.
M: But what does he look like? Surely they must have a description.
W: Oh, yes, they have. Let’s see. In his thirties, tall, bushy dark hair, slight
northern accent, sounds a bit like you actually.
19. What does the woman want the man to read in the newspaper?
20. How did the man mentioned in the newspaper try to win further trust
from the victims?
21. What is the warning from the police?
22. What does the woman speaker tell us about the old lady?
Conversation Two
M: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about first job with hotel marketing
concepts?
W: Yes, certainly. I was a marketing consultant, responsible for marketing
ten UK hotels. They were all luxury hotels in the leisure sector, all of a very
high standard.
M: Which markets were you responsible for?
W: For Europe and Japan.
M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to
Japan?
W: Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2006. I met all the key people in
the tourist industry, the big tour operators and tourist organizations. As I
speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.
M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan in your present job?
W: Yes, I’ve had a lot. The truth is I have become very popular with the

Japanese, both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact, the market
for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently.
M: Really, I’m interested to hear more about that, but first, tell me, have you
ever traveled on a luxury train? The Orient Express, for example.
W: No I haven’t, but I have traveled on a glacier express to Switzerland and I
traveled China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That’s why I’m
very interested in this job.
23. What did the woman do in her first job?
24. What gave the woman an advantage during her business trip in Japan?
25. Why is the woman applying for the new job?
Passage One
Time! I think a lot about time. And not just because it’s the name of the
news organization I work for. Like most working people, I find time or the
lack of it a never ending frustration and an unwinnable battle. My everyday is
a race against the clock that I never ever seem to win. This is hardly a
lonesome complaint. According to the Families and Work Institute’s national
study of the changing workforce, fifty-five percent of employees say they
don’t have enough time for themselves, sixty-three percent don’t have enough
time for their spouses or partners, and sixty- seven percent don’t have enough
time for their children. It’s also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestors
returned home form hunting wild animals and gathering nuts and complained
about how little time they had to pay in battle scenes on their cave wars. The
difference is that the boss of animal-hunting and the head of nut-gathering
probably told them to shut up or no survival for you. Today’s workers are still
demanding control over their time. The difference is today’s bosses are
listening. I’ve been reading a report issued today called “When Work Words”
produced jointly by three organizations. They set out to find and award the
employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give
their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every
boss should read it for ideas.
26. What is the speaker complaining about?
27. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?
28. Why does the speaker suggest all bosses all bosses read the report by the
three organizations?
Passage Two
“Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you
get, the more you want to give.” Penelope Leach once said. What she said
proves to be true of my blooded family. I was born in 1931. As the youngest
of six children , I learned to share my parents’ love. Raising six children
during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll its toll on my
parent’s relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old.
Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even
farther away form us after the divorce.
Several years later a wonderful woman came into his life, and they were
married. She had two sons, one of them still at home. Under her influence,
we became a “blended family” and a good relationship developed between
the two families. She always treated us as if we were her own children. They
shared over twenty-five year together before our father passed away. At the
time of his death, the question came up of my mother-Daddy’s first
wife—attending his funeral. I will never forget the unconditional love
shown by my stepmother when I asked her if she would object to Mother
attending Daddy’s funeral. Without giving it a second thought, she
immediately replied, “Of course not, Honey. She’s the mother of my
children.”
29. According to the speaker, what contributed to her parent’s divorce?
30. What brought the father closer to his own children?
31. What message does the speaker want to convey in this tale?

ys, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among
adolescents. Importance should be attached to studying abroad.
are a great many advantages of studying overseas. First and foremost,
living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world.
On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their
counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse
ideas and values.
3. What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life
use of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity to improve
second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.
lly speaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive
and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile.
the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain
precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have.
rmore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is
conducive to the growth of adolescents.

W: I know. I haven’t lost it. I’ve packed it, but I can’t remember which bag
it’s in.(19)
M: Well, you have to find it at the airport. Come on, the taxi is waiting. (21)
W: Did you say taxi? I thought we were going in your car.
M: Yes, well, I had planned to, but I’ll explain later. You’ve got to be there
in an hour.
W: The plane doesn’t leave for two hours. Anyway, I’m ready to go now.
M: Now you are taking just one case, is that right?
W: No, there is one in the hall（客厅、门厅）as well. (22)
M: Gosh, what a lot of stuff! You’re taking enough for a month instead of a
week. (20)
W: Well, you can’t depend on the weather. It might be cold.
M: It’s never cold in Rome. Certainly not in May. Come on, we really must
go.
W: Right, we are ready. We’ve got the bags. I’m sure there is no need to
rush. (21)
M: There is. I asked the taxi driver to wait two minutes, not twenty. (21)
W: Look, I’m supposed to be going away to relax. You’re making me
nervous.
M: Well, I want you to relax on holidays, but you can’t relax yet.

find my passport.

translators. (24)
W: The European Space Agency?
M: Well, that’s what it says. They need an English translator to work for
French or German. (24)
W: So they need a degree in French or German, I suppose. Well, I’ve got that.

M: Just that. A university degree and three or four years of experience as a
translator in a professional environment, They also say the person should have
a lively and enquiring mind, effective communication skills and the ability to
work individually or as a part of the team.
W: Well, if I stay at my present job much longer, I won’t have any mind or
skills left. By the way, what about salary? I just hope it isn’t lower than what I
get now.
M: It’s said to be negotiable. It depends on the applicant’s education and
experience. (25) In addition to basic salary, there is a list of extra benefits.
Have a look yourself.

Passage One
When couples get married, they usually plan to have children. Sometimes,
however, a couple can not have a
child of their own. In this case, they may decide to adopt a child. In fact,
adoption is very common today. There are about 60 thousand adoptions each
year in the United States alone. Some people prefer to adopt infants, others to
adopt older children. Some couples adopt children from their own countries,
others adopt children from foreign countries. In any case, they all adopt
children for the same reason——they care about children and want to give
their adopted child a happy life. (26)
Most adopted children know that they are adopted. Psychologists and
child-care experts generally think this is a good idea. However, many adopted
children or adoptees have very little information about their biological
parents. As a matter of fact, it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out
about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are
usually sealed.(27) The information is secret so no one can see it.(27)
Naturally, adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents.
Many adoptees want to search for them, but others do not. The decision to
search for birth parents is a difficult one to make. Most adoptees have mixed
feelings about finding their biological parents. (28) Even though adoptees
do not know about their natural parents, they do know that their adopted
parents want them, love them and will care for them. (29)
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard
26. According to the speaker, why do some couples adopt children?
27. Why is it difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents?
28. Why do many adoptees find it hard to make the decision to search for
their birth parents?
29. What can we infer from the passage?
Passage Two
Catherine Gram graduated from the University of Chicago in 1938 and got a
job as a news reporter in san Francisco. Catherine’s father used to be a
successful investment banker. In 1933, he bought a failing newspaper, The
Washington Post.(30)
Then Catherine returned to Washington and got a job, editing letters in her
father’s newspaper. She married Philip Gram, who took over his
father-in-law’s position shortly after and became a publisher of The
Washington Post. But for many years, her husband suffered from mental
illness and he killed himself in 1963. After her husband’s death, Catherine
operated the newspaper. In the 1970s, the newspaper became famous around
the world and Catherine was also recognized as an important leader in
newspaper publishing. She was the first woman to head a major American
publishing company, the Washington Post company. (31) In a few years, she
successfully expanded the company to include newspaper, magazine,
broadcast and cable companies.
She died of head injuries after a fall when she was 84. More than 3 thousand
people attended her funeral, including many government and business

leaders. Her friends said she would be remembered as a woman who had an
important influence on events in the United States and the world. Catherine
once wrote, “The world without newspapers would not be the same kind of
world.” After her death, the employees of the Washington Post wrote, “The
world without Catherine would not be the same at all.”(32)
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard
30. What do we learn from the passage about Catherine’s father?
31. What does the speaker tell us about Catherine Gram?
32. What does the comment by employees of The Washington Post suggest?

and Latin America.

you imagine shifting into a different kind of responsibility or doing
something…?

Section A Compound Dictation
Students’ pressure sometimes comes from their parents. Most parents are
well-meaning, but some of them aren’t very helpful with the problems their
sons and daughters have in adjusting to college. And a few of them seem to go
out of their way to add to their children’s difficulties. For one thing, parents
are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They don’t
realize that the competition is keener, that the required standards of work are
higher, and that their children may not be prepared for the change.
Accustomed to seeing As and Bs on high school report cards, they may be
upset when their children’s first semester college grades are below that level.
At their kindest, they may gently enquire why John or Mary isn’t doing better,
whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their
worst, they may threaten to take their children out of college or cut off funds.
Sometimes parents regard their children as extensions of themselves and
think it only right and natural that they determine what their children do
with their lives. In their involvement and identification with their children,
they forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop in
his or her own way. They forget that their children, who are now young
adults, must be the ones responsible for what they do and what they are.
Short Passages
Passage 1
My mother was born in a small town in northern Italy. She was three when
her parents immigrated to America in 1926. They lived in Chicago, where
my grandfather worked making ice-cream. Mama thrived in the urban
environment. At 16, she graduated first in her high school class, went on to
secretarial school and finally worked as an executive secretary for a rare
wood company. She was beautiful too. When a local photographer used her
pictures in his monthly window display, she felt pleased. Her favorite
portrait showed her sitting by Lake Michigan, her hair wind-blown, her gaze
reaching towards the horizon.
My parents were married in 1944. Dad was a quiet and intelligent man. He
was 17 when he left Italy. Soon after, a hit-and-run accident left him with a
permanent limp. Dad worked hard selling candy to Chicago office workers
on their break. He had little formal schooling. His English was self- taught.
Yet he eventually built a small successful whole-sale candy business. Dad
was generous and handsome. Mama was devoted to him. After she married,
my mother quit her job and gave herself to her family.
In 1950, with three small children, Dad moved the family to a farm 40 miles
from Chicago. He worked the land and commuted to the city to run his
business. Mama said good-bye to her parents and friends and traded her
busy city neighborhood for a more isolated life. But she never complained.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard:
26: What does the speaker tell us about his mother’s early childhood?
27: What do we learn about the speaker’s father?
28: What does the speaker say about his mother?

During a 1995 roof collapse, a fire fighter named Donald Herbert was left
brain damaged. For 10 years he was unable to speak. Then one Saturday
morning, he did something that shocked his family and doctors – he started
speaking. “I want to talk to my wife,” Donald Herbert said out of the blue.
Staff members of the nursing home where he has lived for more than 7 years
rose to get Linda Herbert on the telephone. “It was the first of many
conversations the 44-year-old patient had with his family and friends during
the 14 hour stretch.” Herbert’s uncle Simon Manka said. “How long have I
been away?” Herbert asked. “We told him almost 10 years.” The uncle said.
He thought it was only three months.
Herbert was fighting a house fire Dec. 29, 1995, when the roof collapsed
burying him underneath. After going without air for several minutes, Herbert
was unconscious for two and a half months and has undergone therapy ever
since.
News accounts in the days and years after his injury, described Herbert as
blind and with little, if any, memory. A video shows him receiving physical
therapy, but apparently unable to communicate and with little awareness of
his surroundings. Manka declined to discuss his nephew’s current condition or
whether the apparent progress was continuing. “The family was seeking
privacy while doctors evaluated Herbert,” he said. As word of Herbert’s
progress spread, visitors streamed into the nursing home. “He is resting
comfortably,” the uncle told them.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29: What happened to Herbert 10 years ago?
30: What surprised Donald Herbert’s family and doctors one Saturday?
31: How long did Herbert remain unconscious?
32: How did Herbert’s family react to the public attention?

考试
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a
composition on the topic My Views on Examinations. You should write at
least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1)大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩，
2)考生可能带来的副作用，
3)我对考试的看法。
most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means
of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular
subject. gh it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also
enormous.
To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers
are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their
students in exam techniques.
subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached
with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is
that examinations encourage bad study habits.
4. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic
performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to
think creatively.
fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really
important to the students’ academic development.
that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something
more efficient and reliable than examinations?

完形填空9
A language is a signaling system which operates with symbolic vocal
sounds (语声), and which is used by a group of people for the purpose of
communication.
Let’s look at this function in more detail because it is language, more than
anything else, that distinguishes man from the rest of the animal world.
Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by means of cries:
for example, many birds utter warning calls at the approach of danger;
monkeys utter different cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure.
But these various means of communication differ in important ways from
human language. For instance, animals’ cries do not express thoughts and
feelings clearly. This means, basically, that they lack structure. They lack the
kind of structure that enables us to divide a human utterance into words
.We can change an utterance by replacing one word in it with another: a
good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching
from the north“, and who can change one word and say aircraft approaching

from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single
alarm cry, whichmeans “danger!”
This is why the number of signals that an animal can make is very limited: the
great tit (山雀) is a case in point; it has about twenty different calls, whereas
in human language the number of possible utterances is limitless. It also
explains why animal cries are very general in meaning.

efficient and convenient.

humor a sense of humor

W: Hey, Bob, guess what? I’m going to visit Quebec next summer. I’m
invited to go to a friend’s wedding, but while I’m there, I’d also like to do
some sightseeing.
M: That’s nice, Sherry. But do you mean the province of Quebec or
Quebec City?
W: I mean the province. My friend’s wedding is in Montreal, so I’m
going there first. I’ll stay for 5 days. Is Montreal the capital city of the
province?
M: Well, many people think so because it’s the biggest city, but it’s not
the capital. Quebec City is, but Montreal is great. The Santa Lawrence River
runs right through the middle of the city. It’s beautiful in summer.
W: Wow, and do you think I can get by in English? My French is okay,
but not that good. I know most people there speak French, but can I also use
English?
M: Well, people speak both French and English there, but you’ll hear
French most of the time and all the street signs are in French. In fact,
Montreal is the third largest French-speaking city in the world. So you’d
better practice your French before you go.
W: Good advice, what about Quebec City? I’ll visit a friend from
college who lives there now. What’s it like?
M: It’s a beautiful city, very old. Many old buildings have been nicely
restored. Some of them were built in the 17th and 18th centuries. You’ll
love it there.
W: Fantastic, I can’t wait to go.
19. What’s the woman’s main purpose of visiting Quebec? A. to
attend a wedding in Montreal.
20. What does the man advise the woman to do before the trip? D.
Brush up on her French.
21. What does the man say about Quebec City? C. It has many
historical buildings.
Long Conversation Two
M: Hi, Ms. Rowling. How old were you when you started to write, and
what was your first book?
W: I wrote my first finished story when I was about 6. It was about a
small animal, a rabbit I mean, and I've been writing ever since.
M: Why did you choose to be an author?
W: If someone asked me how to achieve happiness, step one would be
finding out what you love doing most and step two would be finding
someone to pay you to do it. I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able
to support myself by writing.
M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults?
W: My first two novels were for adults. I suppose I might write another
one, but I never really imagine a target audience when I'm writing. The ideas
come first, so it really depends on the idea that grabs me next!
M: Where did the ideas for the Harry Potter books come from?
W: I've no idea where ideas come from and I hope I never find out, it
would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny little wrinkle
on the surface of my brain which makes me think about invisible train
platforms.
M: How do you come up with the names of your characters?
W: I invented some of the names in the Harry books, but I also collect
strange names. I've gotten them from medieval saints, maps, dictionaries,

Passage one
Reducing the amount of sleep students get at night has a direct impact on
their performance at school during the day. According to classroom teachers,
elementary and middle school students who stay up late exhibit more learning
and attention problems. This has been shown by Brown Medical School and
Bradly Hospital research. In the study, teachers were not told the amount of
sleep students received when completing weekly performance reports. Yet
they rated the students who have received eight hours or less as having the
most trouble recalling old material, learning new lessons, and completing high
quality work. Teachers also reported that these students had more difficulty
paying attention. The experiment is the first to ask teachers to report on the
effects of sleep deficiency in children. ‘Just staying up late can cause
increased academic difficulty and attention problems for otherwise healthy
while functioning kids’, said G. F., the study’s lead author. So the results
provide professionals and parents with a clear message: when a child is
having learning and attention problems, the issue of sleep has to be taken into
consideration. ‘If we don’t ask about sleep and try to improve sleep patterns
in kids’ struggling academically, then we aren’t doing our job’, F said. For
parents, he said, the message is simple. Getting kids to bed on time is as
important as getting them to school on time.
26. What were teachers told to do in the experiment?
27. According to the experiment, what problem can insufficient sleep
cause in students?
28. What message did the researcher intend to convey to parents?
26. D. Record students’ weekly performance.
27. B. Lack of attention.
28. D. They should see to it that their children have adequate sleep.
Passage two
P. P never wanted to be a national public figure. All she wanted to be
was a mother and a homemaker. But her life was turned upside down when
a motorist distracted by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the
side of her car. The impact killed her two-year-old daughter. Four months
later, P. reluctantly but courageously decided to try to educate the public and
to fight for laws to ban drivers from using cell phones while a car is moving.
She wanted to save other children from what happened to her daughter. In
her first speech, P. got off to a shaky start. She was visibly trembling and her
voice was soft and uncertain. But as she got into her speech, a dramatic
transformation took place. She stopped shaking and spoke with a strong
voice. For the rest of her talk, she was a forceful and compelling speaker.
She wanted everyone in the audience to know what she knew without
having to learn it from a personal tragedy. Many in the audience were
moved to tears, and to action. In subsequent presentations, P. gained
reputation as a highly effective speaker. Her appearance on a talk show was
broadcast three times transmitting her message to over 14,000,000 people.
Her campaign increased public awareness of the problem and prompted over
300 cities and several states to consider restrictions on cell phone use.
29. What was the significant change in P. P.’s life?
30. What had led to P.’s personal tragedy?
31. How did P. feel when she began her first speech?

of 8 brokers. We buy and sell stocks for major clients worldwide.
W: Why do you think you are the right candidate for this position?
M: As a head broker, I have a lot of experiences in the stock market, I deal
with the clients on the daily bases, and I enjoy working with people.

M: Hey, Karen, you are not really reading it, are you?
W: Pardon?
M: The book! You haven’t turned the page in the last ten minutes.
W: No, Jim, I suppose I haven’t. I need to get through it, though, but I keep
drifting away.
M: So it doesn’t really hold your interest?
W: No, not really. I wouldn’t bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read
it for a seminar. I’m at a university.
M: It’s a labor of labor then rather than a labor of love.
W: I should say, I don’t like Dickens at all really, the author, indeed, I am
starting to like the whole course less and less.

M: It’s not just the book,, it’s the curse as well?
W: Yeah, in a way, although the curse itself isn’t really that bad, a lot of it is
pretty good, in fact, and the lecturer is fine, as to me, I suppose, you see, I
want to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it.
M: So the courses are OK as such, it’s just that had if been left to you, you
would choose a different one.
W: Oh, they had my best interest and heart of course, my parents, they always
do, don’t they? They believe that my job prospect would be pretty limited
with the degree of philosophy. Plus, they give me a really generous allowance,
but I am beginning to feel that I’m wasting my time and their money. They
would be so disappointed though if I told them I was quitting.
22. Why can’t Karen concentrate on the book?
23. Why is Karen starting to like the course less and less?
24. Who thinks Philosophy graduates have limited job opportunities?
25. What is Karen thinking of doing?
Section B
Passage One
In Greece, only rich people will rest in peace for ever when they die. Most of
the population, however, will be undisturbed for only three years, then they
will be dug up, washed, compressed into a small tin box, and placed in a bone
room. If the body has only partially decayed, it is reburied in a smaller
cheaper grave, but not for long, the body will be dug up again some time later
when it has fully decayed. Buying a piece of land for a grave is the only way
to avoid this process. The cost of the grave is so great that most p0eople
choose to rent the grave for three years and even after it has been dug up,
lasting peace is still not guaranteed. If no one pays for renting space in the
bone room, the skeleton is removed and stored in a building in a poor part of
the town. Lack of space in Athens is the main reason why the dead are dug up
after the three years. The city is so overcrowded that sometimes dead bodies
are kept in the hospitals for over a week until a grave is found. Athens’ city
council wants to introduce cremation, that is burning dead bodies as a means
of dealing with the problems. But the Greek church resists this practice, they
believe the only place where people burn is hell, so burning dead bodies is
against the Greek concept of life after death. To save space, the church
suggested burying the bodies standing up instead of lying down. Some
people proposed building multi-storey underground grave yards.
26. What must Greeks do to keep the dead resting in ever-lasting peace?
27. Why are most dead bodies in Athens dug up after three years?
28. What suggestions does the church give about the burying of dead
bodies?
29. What practice does the Greek church object to?
Passage Two
If you visit a big city anywhere in the world, you will probably find a
restaurant would serve the food of your own native country. Most large
cities in the
United Sates offer international sample of foods. Many people enjoy eating
the food of other nations. This is probably one reason why there are so many
different kinds of restaurants in the United States A second reason is that
many Americans come from other part of the world. They enjoy tasting the
foods of their native lands. In the city of Detroit, for example, there are
many people from western Europe, Greece, Latin America, and the Far East.
There are many restaurants in Detroit which serve the foods of these areas.
There are many other international restaurants too. Americans enjoy the
foods in these restaurants as well as the opportunity to better understand the
people and their way of life. One of the most common international
restaurants to be found in the
United States is the Italian restaurant. The restaurant may be a small
business run by a single family. The mother of the family cooks all of the
dishes, and the father and children serve the people who come to eat there.
Or it may be a large restaurant owned by several different people who
worked together in the business. Many Italian dishes that Americans enjoy
are made with meats, tomatoes and cheese, they are very delicious and tasty.
30. Why are there so many international restaurants in the UnitedStates?
31. Why do Americans like to go to international restaurants apart from
enjoying the foods there?
32. How is a typical Italian family restaurant run in the United States?

Can Computers Replace Teachers in English Teaching?
ys computer-aided instruction is getting more and more popular on
the campus throughout the world, especially in teaching English. More and
more students tend to learn English independently with the help of
multimedia learning software.
2. They claim that they have more freedom of learning whatever they like at
their own pace, with both ease and care. What’s more, computer-aided
instruction is an original way of learning, which can arouse students’ interest.
r some people believe that teachers can better help students learn
knowledge and acquire skills. They argue that, for one thing, students cannot
talk to machines. It goes without saying that to learn English better, students
should talk to teachers and get in touch with them.
another, computers cannot supervise students, thus some students spend
the precious time not on English, but on net chatting or browsing porn
websites.
5．As far as I am concerned, computers cannot replace teachers in English
teaching because students need to contact human beings, notmachines.
the same time, they should try their best to gain more from
computer-assisted programs. By combining the two methods, students can
learn English better

Passage one
A new study reports the common drug aspirin greatly reduces life
threatening problems after an operation to replace blocked blood vessels to
the heart. More than 800,000 people around the world have this heart
surgery each year. The doctors who carried out the study say giving aspirin
to patients soon after the operation could save thousands of lives. People
usually take aspirin to control pain and reduce high body temperature.
Doctors also advise some people to take aspirin to help prevent heart attacks.
About 10-15 percent of these heart operations end in death or damage to the
heart or other organs. The new study shows that even a small amount of
aspirin reduced such threats. The doctors said the chance of death for
patients who took aspirin would fall by 67%. They claimed this was true if
the aspirin was given within 48 hours of the operation. The doctors believe
aspirin helps heart surgery patients because it can prevent blood from
thickening and blood vessels from being blocked. However, the doctors
warned that people who have stomach bleeding or other bad reactions from
aspirin should not take it after heart surgery.
Q11. What is the finding of the new study of aspirin?
Q12. In what way can aspirin help heart surgery patients according to
the doctors?
Q13. What warning did the doctors give about the use of aspirin?
Passage Two
Were you the first or the last child in you family? Or were you a middle
or an only child? Some people think it matters where you were born in you
family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some
people say that oldest children are smart and strong-willed. They are very
likely to be successful. The reason for this is simple. Parents have a lot of
time for their first child, they give him or her a lot of attention. So this child
is very likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason.
What happens to the other children in the family? Middle children don’t get
so much attention, so they don’t feel that important. If a family has many
children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest
child, though, often gets special treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this
child grows up to be funny and charming. Do you believe these ideas of
birth order too? A recent study saw things quite differently. The study found

that first children believed in family rules. They didn’t take many chances in
their lives. They usually followed orders. Rules didn’t mean as much to later
children in the family. They went out and followed their own ideas. They took
chances and they often did better in life.
Q14. According to common belief, in what way are the first child and the
only child alike?
Q15. What do people usually say about middle children?
Q16. what do we learn about later children in a family from a recent
study of birth order?

Passage 1
In the next few decades, people are going to travel very differently from
the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically-powered cars,
so in the few years, people won’t worry about running out of gas. Some of
the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new
technology. F&C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a
press conference next week. After the press conference, the company will
present its new electronically-operated models. Transportation in the future
won’t be limited to the ground, many people predict that traffic will quickly
move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road
conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in
the sky. But the sky isn’t the limit. In the future, you will probably even be
able to take a trip to the moon. Instead of listening to regular airplane
announcements, you will hear someone say: the spacecraft to the moon
leaves in 10 minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember no more
than 10 ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed.
will be used to power cars in the next few decades?
will future news reports focus on when talking about
transportation?
will passengers be asked to do when they travel to the moon?
Passage 2
County fairs are a tradition in New England towns. They offer great
entertainment. One popular event is the pie-eating contest. If you want to
take part in the contest, it is a good idea to remember these guidelines: first,
make sure your stomach is nearly empty of food. Eating a whole pie can be
hard if you have just finish a meal. Next, it is helpful to like the pie you are
going to eat. The cream types are a good choice. They slide down the throat
more easily. Placing your hands in the right position adds to the chances of
winning. There is a temptation to reach out and help the eating process. This
will result in becoming disqualified. Don’t just sit on your hands, if your
hands are tied behind your back, you will not be tempted to make use of

Machine Translation and Human Translation
recent years, all kinds of electronic dictionaries and translation software
have been developed. With the development of technology, these electronic
dictionaries and software can help us translate not only words and phrases but
even sentences and paragraphs.
some people come to the conclusion that machine translation will replace
traditional human translation. However, I couldn’t agree with this argument.
edly, translation machines and software bring much convenience for
our study and our work. With them, we needn’t bother to leaf through the
heavy dictionaries.
r, machine translation has its disadvantages. First, generally
speaking, translation software only can give direct translation, which is
sometimes not in accordance with the original articles in logic and meaning.
, some people depend on electronic dictionaries and software too
much, which is unfavorable to their improvement in language ability.
ering the above-mentioned, I think that machine translation cannot
replace human translation, but it is a good complementary to human
translation. Therefore, we should combine machine translation with human
translation efficiently.
In February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the owner
of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died at heart attack. His
family announced that they were going to close the business because no one
in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I
read the want ads each day. Then one morning, as I was hanging out the
“Going Out of Business” sign at the greenhouse, the door opened, and in
walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just
moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for
pots and plants to place in the reception areas in the offices. “I don’t know
anything about plants,” she said, “I’m sure in a few weeks they’ll all be
dead.” While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was racing.
Perhaps as many as a dozen firms have recently opened offices in the new
office park, and there were several hundred more acres with construction
underway. That afternoon, I drove out to the office park. By six o’clock that
evening, I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me
and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked out an
agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner’s family. Business is now
increasing rapidly, and one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the
greenhouse.

Crime is increasing worldwide. There is every reason to believe the (36)trend
will continue through the next few decades.
Crime rates have always been high in multicultural industrialized societies
such as the United States. But a new (37)phenomenon has appeared on the
world (38)scene-rapidly rising crime rates in nations that previously reported
few (39)offenses. Street crimes such as robbery, rape, (41)murder and auto
theft are clearly rising, (41)particularly in eastern European countries such as
Hungary and in western European nations such as the United Kingdom.
What is driving this crime (42)explosion? There are no simple answers. Still,
there’re certain conditions (43)associated with rising crime. Increasing
heterogeneity of populations, greater cultural pluralism, higher immigration,
democratization of governments, (44)changing national borders, greater
economic growth, and the lack of accepted social ideas of right and wrong.
These conditions are increasing observable around the world. For instance,
cultures that were previously isolated and homogeneous(同种类的) such as
Japan, Denmark, and Greece (45)are now facing the sort of cultural variety
that has been common in America for most of its history.
Multiculturalism can be a rewarding, enriching experience, but it can also

Obtaining good health insurance is a real necessity while you are studying
overseas. It protects you from minor and major medical expenses that can
wipe out not only your savings but your dreams of an education abroad. (33)
There are often two different types of health insurance you can consider
buying, international travel insurance and student insurance in the country
where you will be going.
An international travel insurance policy is usually purchased in your home
country before you go abroad. It generally covers a wide variety of medical
services and you are often given a list of doctors in the area where you will
travel who may even speak your native language. The drawback might be
that you may not get your money back immediately, (34) in other words,
you may have to pay all you medical expenses and then later submit your
receipts to the insurance company.
On the other hand, getting student heath insurance in the country where you
will study might allow you to only pay a certain percentage of the medical
cost at the time of the service and thus you don’t have to have sufficient
cash to pay the entire bill at once. (35) Whatever you decide, obtaining some
form of health insurance is something you should consider before you go
overseas. You shouldn’t wait until you are sick with a major medical bills to
pay off.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard
33. Why does the speaker advise the overseas students to buy health
insurance?

insurance?

We’re now witnessing the emergence of an advanced economy based on
information and knowledge. Physical labor, raw materials, and capital are no
longer the key ingredients in the creation of wealth. Now, the vital raw
material in our economy is knowledge. Tomorrow’s wealth depends on the
development and exchange of knowledge. And individuals entering the
workforce offer their knowledge, not their muscles. Knowledge workers get
paid for their education and their ability to learn. Knowledge worker engage
in mind work. They deal with symbols: words, figures, and data.
What does all this mean for you? As a future knowledge worker, you can
expect to be generating, as well as exchanging information. Currently, there
out of four jobs involve some form of mind work, and that number will
increase sharply in the future. Management and employees alike will be
making decisions in such areas as product development, quality control, and
customer satisfaction.
In the new world of work, you can look forward to being in constant training
to acquire new skills that will help you keep up with improved technologies
and procedures. You can also expect to be taking greater control of your
career. Gone are the nine-to-five jobs, lifetime security, predictable
promotions, and even the conventional workplace, as you are familiar with.
Don’t expect the companies will provide you with a clearly defined career

Certificate Craze on Campus
recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college
students. Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy
doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for
a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear?
are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. First, it is the
employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates.
the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to
face the fierce competition in the job market.
can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand,
maybe. Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by
which many employers measure a person’s ability.
order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel
themselves to run from one exam to my point of view, we
should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do
not necessarily prove one’s ability.
crazy in getting certificates blindly is nothing but wasting time. To
conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a
certificate of no practical value.

Almost all states in America have a state fair. They last for one, two or three
weeks. The Indiana state fair is one of the largest and oldest state fairs in the
United States. It is held every summer.
It started in 1852. Its goals were to educate, share ideas and present Indiana’s
best products. The cost of a single ticket to enter the fair was 20 cents. During
the early 1930’s, officials of the fair ruled that people could attend by paying
something other than money. For example, farmers brought a bag of grain in
exchange for a ticket.
With the passage of time, the fair has grown and changed a lot. But it is still
one of the Indiana’s celebrated events. People from all over Indiana and from
many other states attend the fair.
They can do many things at the fair. They can watch the judging of the priced
cows, pigs and other animals. They can see sheep getting their wool cut and
they can learn how that wool is made into clothing. They can watch cows
giving birth. In fact, people can learn about animals they would never see
except other fair. The fair provides the chance for the farming community to
show its skills and fun products. For example, visitors might see the world’s
largest apple or the tallest sun flower plant.
Today, children and adults at the fair can play new computer games or attempt
more traditional games of skill. They can watch performances put on by
famous entertainers. Experts say such fairs are important because people need
to remember that they are connected to the earth and its products and they
depend on animals for many things.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard:
33: What were the main goals of the Indiana state fair when it started?
34: How did some farmers give entrance to the fair in the early 1930’s?

More and more of the world’s population are living in towns or cities. The
speed at which cities are growing in the less developed countries is alarming.
Between 1920 and 1960 big cities in developed countries increased two and a
half times in size, but in other parts of the world the growth was eight times
their size.
The sheer size of growth is bad enough, but there are now also very
disturbing signs of trouble in the comparison of percentages of people living
in towns and percentages of people working in industry, During the
nineteenth century, cities grew as a result of the growth of industry. In
Europe the proportion of people living in ci8ties was always smaller than
that of the workforce working in factories. Now, however, the reverse is
almost always true in the newly industrialized world: The percentage of
people living in cities is much higher than the percentage working in
industry
Without a base of people working in industry, these cities cannot pay for
their growth; There is not enough money to build adequate houses for the
people that live there, let alone the new has been little
opportunity to build water supplies or other facilities. So the figures for the
growth of towns and cities represent proportional growth of unemployment
and underemployment, a growth in the number of hopeless and despairing
parents and starving children.

a cure for each one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to
get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a blockage in it. You feel
terrible because you can’t breathe well. But your body is actually eating the
virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever. But the heat of your body is
killing the virus. You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting
to your cells. You may feel miserable but actually your wonderful body is
doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people have different
remedies for colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example,
people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot baths and
drink warm liquids. Other people take medicines to relieve various symptoms
of colds. There’s one interesting thing to note. Some scientists say taking
medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in
you longer because your body doesn’t develop a way to fight it and kill it.

Students’ pressure sometimes comes from their parents. Most parents are well
meaning, but some of them aren’t very helpful with the problems their sons
and daughters have in adjusting to college. And a few of them seem to go out
of their way to add to their children’s difficulties. For one thing, parents are
often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They don’t
realize that the competition is keener, that the required standards of work are
higher, and that their children may not be prepared for the change.
Accustomed to seeing As and Bs on high school report cards, they may be
upset when their children’s first semester college grades are below that level.
At their kindest, they may gently enquire why John or Mary isn’t doing better,
whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their
worst, they may threaten to take their children out of college or cut off funds.
Sometimes parents regard their children as extensions of themselves and
think it only right and natural that they determine what their children do
with their lives. In their involvement and identification with their children,
they forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop in
his or her own way. They forget that their children, who are now young
adults, must be the ones responsible for what they do and what they are.

Extravagant Spending on College Campus
According to a survey, in recent years the monthly expenditure of a college
student has been on the sharp rise. Many college students spend money like
water and have no concept of thrift in their mind. They take it for granted
that they spend money from their parents before they enter into the society.
This extravagant spending is mainly caused by the following factors.
First of all, nowadays most of students are the only children of their families.
They are the apple in their family’s eyes and naturally get more care and
pocket money. Secondly, with the improvement of living standard, parents
can afford higher expenditure of their children. Thirdly, some students like
to pursue fashion and trends, which tends to need more money. Finally,
campus love is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.
From my point of view, a college student, as a pure consumer, should learn
to be thrifty. We should limit our expenditure on daily necessities but not
buy whatever we want regardless of their prices. The habit of thrift can help
us form right values and is favorable to our future development.

One winter day in 1891, a class at a training school in Massachusetts, U.S.A,
went into the gym for their daily exercises. Since the football season had
ended, most of the young man felt they were in for a boring time.
But their teacher, James Nasmith had other ideas. He had been working for a
long time on a new game that would have the excitement of the American
football. Nasmith showed the men a basket he had hung at the each end of the
gym, and explained that they were going to sue a round European football, at
first everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket no matter where he was
standing. “Pass! Pass!” Nasmith kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the
excited players. Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them.
The problem with the new game, which was soon called “basketball”, was
getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary food baskets with
bottoms and the ball, of course, stayed inside. At first, someone had to climb
up every time a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came
up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall
through. There have been many changes in the rules since then, and basketball
has become one of the world’s most popular sports.

You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways,
depending on the situations they are in. This is very natural. All languages
have two general levels of usage – a formal level and an informal level.
English is no exception. The difference in these two levels is the situation in
which you use a particular level. Formal language is the kind of language
you find in textbooks, reference books and in business letters. You would
also use formal English in compositions and essays that you write in school.
Informal language is used in conversation with colleagues, family members
and friends, and when we write personal notes or letters to close friends.
Formal language is different from informal language in several ways.
First, formal language tends to be more polite. What we may find interesting
is that it usually takes more words to be polite. For example, I might say to a
friend or a family member “Close the door, please.” But to a stranger, I
probably would say, “Would you mind closing the door?” Another
difference between formal and informal language is some of the vocabulary.
There are bound to be some words and phrases that belong in formal
language and others that are informal. Let’s say that I really like soccer. If I
am talking to my friend, I might say, “I am just crazy about soccer.” But if I
were talking to my boss, I would probably say, “I really enjoy soccer.”

feelings. As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part
of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea doer seem
peculiar. To explain, I’d like to share my reasons behind this unusual change
of mind. The first excuse I give is an economic one. Underwater exploration
is so much cheaper than space flight. The first round- trip ticket to the moon is
going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and
development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few
million. On the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for
skin-diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My second argument is more
philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common
with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile. If
we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have
mechanical aids. The diving suit helped the design of the space suit. The
feelings and the emotions of a man beneath the sea will be much like those of
a man beyond the atmosphere.

one who has a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them. The
ideal person is punctual and is considerate of other people’s time. They do not
waste people’s time with conversation or other activity that has no visible
beneficial outcome.
The American attitude toward time is not necessarily shared by others,
especially non-Europeans. They are more likely to regard time as something
that is simply there around them, not something they can use. One of the
more difficult things many students must adjust to in the States is the notion
that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.
In this context the fast-food industry can be seen as a clear example of
American cultural ld’s, KFC, and other fast food
establishments are successful in a country where many people want to spend
the least amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonald’s
restaurants spread around the world, they have been viewed as symbols of
American society and culture,bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis
on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.

Passage 3
The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal
and the wedding ceremony. Two people agree to marry when they decided
to spend their lives together. The man usually gives the woman a diamond
engagement ring. That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man
gave a beauty. He placed it on the third finger of her left hand. He chose that
finger because it was thought that the blood vessel in that finger went
directly to the heart. Today we know that this is not true, yet the tradition
continues.
Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year, if they
are planning a wedding ceremony and a party. During this time, friends of

the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give
the bride gifts that she will need as a wife. These could include cooking
equipment or new clothing. Friends of the man who is getting married may
have a bachelor party for him. This usually takes place the night before the
wedding. Only man are invited to the bachelor party.
During the marriage ceremony, the bride and her would-be husband
usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will
continue forever. The wife often wears both the wedding ring and the
engagement ring on the same finger. The husband wears his ring on the third
finger on his left hand. Many people say the purpose of the engagement
period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding. But the main purpose is
to let enough time pass so the two people are sure that they want to marry
each other. Either person may decide to break the engagement, if this happens,
the woman usually returns the ring to the man. They also return any wedding
gifts they have received.
was the diamond ring said to represent?
did the Austrian man place the diamond ring on the third finger
of the left hand of his would-be wife?
is the chief advantage of having the engagement period?

There are a lot of good cameras available at the of these are
made in there are also good quality models from Germany and the
USA. We have investigated an arrange of models to see which the best value
for money. After a number of different tests and interviews with people who
are familiar with different cameras being accessed, our researchers
recommend the Olympic BY model as the best auto=focus camera available at
the moment. It costs 200 dollars although you may well want to spend
s as much as another 200 dollars on buying additional lenses and
other equipment. It is a good japanese camera easy to use, equivalent german
models tend to be heavier and slightly less easy to use, while the american
versions are considerably more expensive. The olympic BY model weighs
only 320 grams, which is quite a bit less than other cameras of the similar
type. Indeed, one of the other models we looked at weigh almost twice as
much. Similarly,it's smaller than most of its competiters thus fitting easily
into a pocket or handbag. All the people we interviewd expressed almost
total satisfaction with it.,The only problem was slight awkwardness in
loading the film.

For 25 years I was a full-time thief, specializing in picking pockets. Where I
come from in southeast London, that's an honorable profession. Anyone can
break into a house and steal things. But picking somebody's pocket takes
skill. My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in
London. We worked hotel and theatre lobbies, airports, shopping centers,
restaurants. Now we don't steal anymore, but this crime is worldwide. Here
is how to protect yourself:
Professional pickpockets do not see victims, only handbags, jewels and
money. Mothers with babies, the elderly, the disabled are all fair game. My
preferred target was the lone female, handbag at her side, the right side to be
exact. So if I'm next to her I can reach it cautiously with my right hand
across my body. Only about one woman in a thousand carries her bag on the
left, and I tended to steer clear of them. Women whose bags are hanging in
front of them are tricky for the pickpocket, as there isn't a blind side. If you
want to make it even harder, use a bag with handles rather than a strap. For
men, one of the best places to keep a wallet is in the back pocket of tight
trousers. You'll feel any attempts to move it. Another good place is in the
buttoned-up inside pocket of a jacket. There's just no way in. Even better,
keep wallets attached to a cord or chain that is fasten to a belt.
A pickpocket needs targets who are relaxed and off guard. The perfect

setting is clothing store. When customs wander among the racks, they are
completely absorbed in the items they hold up. The presence of a uniformed
security guard is even better. A false sense of security makes a pickpocket's
job much simpler.
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Q17: Why does the speaker say that picking somebody's pocket is an
honorable job in southeast London?
Q18: According to the speaker, who is most likely to become a victim of
pickpockets?
Q19: In the speaker's opinion, what is the best place for a man to keep his
wallets?
Q20: What is the perfect setting for picking pockets, according to the
speaker?

systems and broadening major roads.
4. Widening the existing roads can solve traffic snarls on some level. Soaring
car ownership compounds the chronic annoying problem, so we must sharply
reduce the heavy reliance on cars and drive a shift to the mass transportation.

Social Practice of College Students
Nowadays many universities encourage and organize students to take part in
social practice activities. During the holidays, more and more students
choose to be the volunteers, take part-time jobs, or take part in other
practical activities alike. It’s obvious that social practice is playing a more
and more important role in China’s college education.
Undoubtedly, college students have benefited a lot from social practice.
Above all, they are provided with more opportunities to contact the real
world outside the campus. Moreover, in social practice activities, students
can apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problems. So their
practical skills are improved greatly. Besides, social practice helps
strengthen students’ sense of social responsibility.
Considering the above- mentioned, I think, it is necessary for college
students to participate in social practice. However, social practice may bring
some problems. For example, some students spend too much time in taking
part-time jobs so as to ignore their study. Therefore, we should try to
balance the relationship between social practice and study.
