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

project is a growing one and is spread from the park to the school and the shopping center. Trees
and flowers have all been planted in the shopping center, making the atmosphere pleasant.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What do we learn about Main Street in Farmington?
27. What do the 4-H club members do about the curbside?
28. What have the 4-H girls learned from the project?

Passage 2
According to a survey on reading conducted in 2001 by the U.S. National Education
Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important, more important than computers and
science. Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot. 79% find
it stimulating and interesting. And 87% think it is relaxing. About 68% of those surveyed disagreed
with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned.
Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results
also show that middle school students read more books than high schoolers. Over 66% of teens
like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Over 26% are interested in non-fiction, such
history books.64% of students listed reading stories about people my own age. That's a favorite
topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they
were interested in reading about their own culture in tradition. Of the teenagers who participated
in the survey, 49% said that libraries are where they get most of their books. However, many
complain that their school libraries do not have enough up- to-date interesting books and magazines.
Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked
which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music.
TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.

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

好学教育：http:

suicide when he is interrupted by an old man who says his name is Smith. The editor is not only
offered 5,000 dollars to pay off his newspaper’s debts, but this Smith character also offers
his services for free. It turns out that the guy operates the printing machine with amazing speed,
and soon he is turning out newspapers with shocking headlines. The small paper is successful
again. The editor is amazed at how quickly Smith gets his stories – only minutes after they
happen – but soon he is presented with a contract to sign. Mr. Smith, it seems, is really the
devil! The editor is frightened by this news, but he is more frightened by the idea of losing
his newspaper, so he agrees to sign. But soon Smith is reporting the news even before it happens
– and it’s all terrible – one disaster after another. Anyway, there is a little more to tell,
but I don’t want to ruin the story for you. I really like these old episodes of the Twilight
Zone, because the stories are fascinating. They are not realistic. But then again, in a way they
are, because they deal with human nature.
