wrapped up a
project
with
a
difficult
client
last
week.
I
bet
Brenda
is
glad
it's
done
with,
and
she
can
focus
on
wedding preparations.
John: Oh, yes. So you are Cathy from
the office. Actually I've heard a lot about you in

photography hobby into a
small business. (2) I'll actually be taking photos
during the big event as a
wedding gift.
Cathy: That sounds wonderful and very
thoughtful of you. I bake, just as a hobby. (3)
But Brenda has
asked
me
to
do

wedding.

nervous

from
a

magazine.

You've got nothing to worry about. You are a
natural.

would have gu
essed they were baked by
the restaurant. (4) You
know, with your
event planning experience you could very well open
your own shop.

(laughing)
One
step
at
a
time.

I'll
see
how
baking
the
wedding
cake
goes.

Conversation 2
M: You are heading for a completely
different world, now that you are about to
graduate from high
school.
W: I know it’s the end of high school,
but many of classmates are going on to the same
university, and
we are still required
to study hard. So what’s the difference
M: (5) Many aspects are different here
at the university. The most important one is that
you have to
take
more
individual
responsibility
for
your
actions.
It’s
up
to
your
own
self
-discipline
—
how
much
efforts you put into
study. Living in college dormitories, there are no
parents to tell you that study
harder
or stop wasting time. Lectures have hundreds of
students and they are not going to follow you
up or question you if you miss the
lectures.
W: Nobody cares you mean
M:
It’s
not
that
nobody
concerned
about
you,
(6)
it’s
just
that
suddenly
at
the
unive
rsity
you
are
expected to behave like
an adult. That means concentrating on the
direction of your life in general
and
your own academic performance specifically.
W: For example…
M: Well, like you need to manage daily,
weekly and monthly schedules, so that
you study regularly.
Be sure
to attend all classes and leave enough time to
finish your assignments and prepare well for
examinations.
W: Ok, and
what else is different
M:
Well,
in
college
there
are
lots
of
distractions,
and
you
need
to
control
yourself.
You
will
make
interesting friends, (7) but you need
only keep the friends who respect your students’
commitments.
Also, there are a lot of
wonderful clubs, but you shouldn’t allocate too
much time to club activities,
unless
(8) they are directly related to
your
study. It’s also your choice if you want to go out
at night,
but you will be foolish to
let that affect class performance during the day.
W: Well, I’m determined to do well at
the university and I guess I’m going to have to
grow up fast.
5.
What does the man say about college students as
compared with high schoolers
C) They
have to be more responsible for what they do.

students expected to do according to the man
D) Behave like adults.

of club activities should college students
engaging according to the man

conductive to their academic studies.

Section B
Passage 1
(9) Most
successful people are unorthodox persons whose
minds wonder outside traditional ways of
thinking. Instead of trying to refine
old formulas, they invent new ones. When Jean-
Claude Killy made
the French national
ski team in the early 1960s, he was prepared to
work harder than anyone else to
be
the
best.
At
the
crack
of
dawn,
he
would
run
up
the
slopes
with
his
skis
on,
an
unbelievably
backbreaking
activity.
In
the
evening,
he
would
do
weightlifting
and
running.
But
the
other
team
members
were
working
as
hard
and
long
as
he
was.
He
realized
instinctively
that
simply
training
harder would never
be enough. Killy then began challenging the basic
theories of racing technique.
Each
week, he would try
something different
to
see if he could find a better,
faster
way down the
mountain.
(10)
His
experiments
resulted
in
a
new
style
that
was
almost
exactly
opposite
the
exact
technique of the time. It involved
skiing with his legs apart for better balance and
sitting back on the
skis when he came
to a turn. He also used ski poles in an unorthodox
way--to propel himself as he
skied. The
explosive new style helped cut Killy's racing time
dramatically. (11) In 1966 and 1967, he
captured virtually every major skiing
trophy. The next year, he won three gold medals in
the Winter
Olympics, a record in ski
racing that has never been topped. Killy learned
an important secret shared
by
many
creative
people:
innovations
don't
require
genius,
just
a
willingness
to
question
the
way
things have always been done.
9. What does the speaker
say about most successful people
A)
They break away from traditional ways of thinking.
10. What does the speaker
say about Killy's experiments
B) They
resulted in a brand-new style of skiing technique.
11. What is said to be
Killy's biggest honor in his skiing career
C) He won three gold medals in one
Winter Olympics.

Passage 2
Scientific experiments have
demonstrated incredible ways to kill a guinea pig,
a small
furry animal.
Emotional
upsets
generate
powerful
and
deadly
toxic
substances.
(12)
Blood
samples
taken
from
persons
experiencing
intense
fear
or
anger
when
injected
into
guinea
pigs
have
killed
them
in
less
than two minutes.
Imagine what these poisonous substances can do to
your own body.
(13) Every thought that
you have affects your body chemistry within a
split second. Remember how
you feel
when you are speeding down the highway and a big
truck suddenly brakes twenty meters in
front of you. A shock wave shoots
through your whole system. Your mind produces
instant reactions
in your body.
