What I enjoy most is knitting and reading books.M: Well, I like watching TV a lot and I learn a lot from it.W: It doesn’t teach you to do anything, does it? You just sit there and stare at TV. That’s not learning.M: But I do learn. And I fell relaxed while watching it. Life’s not all work, you know. W: But I like doing things while I rest. Life’s too short for us to waste time.M: Dear, as I’ve said many times, we’re different. There are two kinds of people in the word...W: I know, I know. Those who are never happy unless they’re running about doing things...M: That’s right, and those who are never happy unless they’re doing nothing. I’m one of the latter and you...W: I’m one of the former. And I’m proud of it.M: So now we agree. Live, and let live. Now you can go peacefully back to your knitting, and I can watch TV.Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conservation you’ve just heard.9.What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?10.What are they mainly talking about?11.Which of the following is true of the woman?12.What can we learn about the man from the conversation?Conversation 2Tim: Hello?Alice: Hello. Tim. This is Alice. I’m in a bit of a crisis.Tim: What happened?Alice: I’m afraid I won’t be on the flight this afternoon. I got held up in the traffic on the way to the airport here and, basically by the time I got here there were no seats left. The airline had oversold the seats. I don’t know what to do. What do you think I should do?Tim: Will, the best thing to do is to get a seat on another airline. You could ask your airline to arrange for it. There might be a later flight tonight, or a flight tomorrow morning.Alice: Well, if I have to stay overnight at the airport, I don’t think I have enough cashto pay bills. I seemed to have left my credit card at home.Tim: Oh, that’s unfortunate.Alice: So ,what do you think I should do ?Tim: Well, the only thing to do is ... Er... For us to pay for your room and you can pay us back later. I could probably authorize payment over phone. I’ll give them my credit card number and they’ll charge it to me.Alice: Thank you so much, Tim.Tim: It’s a pleasure.Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.13.Why couldn’t Alice get on her flight?14.What would be the problem if Alice had to stay overnight at the airport?15.What did Tim suggest as a solution to the problem?Part CDirections: Listen to the passage three times and fill in the blanks with the missing words. (10 points)Health experts have warned for many years that cigarette smoking can lead to heart disease, cancer and other medical problems. But smokers still find it extremely difficult to stop. The American Cancer Society decided to do something to help them kick this bad habit.Every year the group organizes a national non-smoking day in an attempt to get smokers to quit smoking. The organization is asking all smokers to stop smoking at least for 24 hours. They hope this will eventually enable many people to permanently kill the habit.The cancer society officials will give telephone callers advice on how to stop smoking. Smokers also can call a special telephone number to hear recorded messages by doctors.Some businesses will offer their workers candy or chewing gum to help them fight down the carve for smoking. Some companies are offering special gifts and lower prices to people who sign an agreement to stop smoking. And Americans who do not smoke are being asked to help just one person quit smoking during the 24-hour campaign.Part DDirections: You’re going to hear three passages. Each will be read once. Listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. (10 points) Passage 1In many ways ours is a world without boundaries. Being a citizen of a particular nation is almost as much as being a resident of a particular town or province. Boundaries between countries are fading. People are free to move from one country to another due to the relaxation of immigration laws in the last century. Nowadays manycountries have fairly simple requirements for obtaining citizenship and voting rights.In Europe, for example, the European Union’s membership has grown to 27countires. It has developed a common body of laws, common policies and practices, and a great deal of cooperation among its members. The adoption of the single currency, the euro, by 16 of its 27 member countries and the circulation of euro cash in January 2002 have enabled citizens in these countries to move about even more freely.In addition, all of the major organized religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam, are alive and well, but less clearly and exclusively identified with specific cultures and geographic regions. People everywhere feel free to convert to other religions, and many people identify themselves with more than one religion.Since 1995, which is called the Year of the Internet, cyberspace has become a rich and realistic realm of experience. Communications among people among the world have never been so easy and so fast. The world in cyberspace is truly without boundaries.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.26.What is the passage mainly about?27.How many members did the European Union have when this passage was written?28.What can you learn from the passage?Passage 2Twenty years ago when i studied in New York, i began studying how people became millionaires. Surveying residents of stylish neighborhoods across the country, i discovered something very odd. Quite a lot who live in expensive homes and drive luxury cars don’t have much wealth. They may earn a fair amount of money, but they spend it all.Then i discovered something much odder: many who have a great deal of wealth don’t live in stylish neighborhoods. They don’t drive luxury cars. In one large metropolitan area i surveyed, fewer than half the millionaires lived in high-rent districts.That small insight changed my life. It led me out of an academic career, and inspired me to write. I wrote three books on affluence in two years. And it made me an adviser to corporations that sell products to individuals with high net wealth.What most people don’t realize is that wealth isn’t the same as income. If you made $1 million a year and spend $1 million, you’re not getting wealthier, you’re just living high. So if you ask me what is wealth, I can say wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend.Question 29 to 31 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.29.What did the speaker do originally?30.Who most likely live in expensive houses according to the passage?31.What can we learn from the passage?Passage 3When it comes to leisure activities, Americans aren’t quite the fun-seekers they’ve been supposed to be. For one out of five, weekends and vacations are consumed by such drudgeries as house-cleaning, yard-working and cooking; only one-third of them enjoy the luxury of relaxing in the sun, going camping, playing sports, or simply relaxing. These are among the conclusions reached by a recent poll in which more than 1,120 employed Americans were asked how they occupy themselves on days they are not at work. According to the poll, older people, the rich, and the well-educated are most apt to spend their spare time doing the things they “want to do” rather than those they “have to do”.Overall, high-salaried people were more active then those with lower incomes---they reported watching less television and were more likely to engage in social and cultural activities. Furthermore, those with college degrees were about twice as likely as those with no more than a high school education to spend time playing sports (42% compared with 23%)On the subject of vacations, the study found that college graduates were more likely than those with only high school degrees to have vacation plans (80% versus 60%). Of those who did intend to take some time off, 46% planned a sightseeing vacation (34% in the United States, 12%abroad), 34%expected to visit friends or relatives, 22% headed for the beach or lake, and 12% intended to relax at home. People who are divorced, widowed, or separated, the survey concluded, are the least likely of any group to take a vacation---and the least likely to attach any importance to it.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.32.What is the passage mainly about?33.How do most people in the US spend their vacation according to the passage?34.Which of the following adjectives best describes the passage?35.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?。

When a company is listedon the stock market, it can raise funds, which can be used to promoteits development. When many promising companies offer their shares tothe public, a huge amount of money can be collected, which will boost the growth of the national economy.However, in a bear market most stocks depreciate , andmany investors lose money. Worse still, some companies make falsefinancial reports to cheat the public,which make the public lose more money .An unhealthy stock market is harmful to the country.888888888Do you think most people today will put their money in banks, the stock market or real estate? Why? It seems to me that most Chinese are traditional, and they like to put their money in the bank . It is true that bank interest rates are low. However, deposits in banks are safe. You can be almost in the 1990s, many Chineseseldom enter the stock because the stock depreciate easilyThe real estate【房地产】 market was hot, or rather overheated.NOw, the government publishs regulations to discourage The real estate .Soperhaps some funds will pull out of the real estate market and move to the banks . Generally speaking, I think most Chinese prefer to save their money in banks for guaranteed returns.。

Unit 4 CreativityPart 1 Listening, Understanding and SpeakingListening IIn China, education is considered a race. Students have to begin as early as possible and have to proceed as quickly as possible around the track. Success is measured by how many students cross the finish line in the short time .In America, we recognize the race too, but we feel that the students have a chance to explore things for themselves, even if not all of them reach the finish line. As a result of their exploring, some of the participants may have more to offer by the end of the race.The advantage of the Chinese way is that more students become proficient and reach the finish line. The disadvantage is that they may have less to say or to show once they get there. The disadvantage of the American way is that some students never finish the race. The advantage, however, is that some who do go "all the way" have very interesting and original things to say when they get there.1.

The merchant greeted both of them and said, "May I ask why you have come to my humble house" The Goddess of Wealth said, "We want you to judge between us who is the most beautiful."The merchant did not know what to say. He knew he was between the devil and the deep blue sea: If he said that Wealth was more beautiful than Poverty, Poverty would curse him. If he said that Poverty was more beautiful than Wealth, Wealth would abandon him. However, he became calm and said, "I have great respect for you both. Would you please do what I ask of you It is the only way I can judge properly." The Goddesses agreed. He said, "Mother Wealth, would you please walk towards my house Mother Poverty, Would you please walk away from my house This way I can see you both better, from near and far." The two Goddesses did what the merchant had asked them to do. Then the merchant confidently declared, "Mother Wealth! You appear most beautiful when you are nearest my house. Mother Poverty! You look most beautiful when you are farthest from my house." The Goddesses appreciated the wit and wisdom of the merchant. The Goddess of Wealth happily stayed in his house while the Goddess of Poverty cheerfully departed.、Whenever we have a serious problem, if we look within and think calmly, a solution will come in answer to the problem.1.

What does the story tell us CListening IIIThere is an old and common saying in the United States that "There is nothing new under the sun." I thought of that today while reading an article in a magazine. The article tells about the growing number of people who are building earth-sheltered houses, which are partly underground. I had known about modern earth-sheltered houses, but I had never thought about their roofs before. Instead of having metal or tiles on the roofs, many of these houses now have living roofs. The wooden top of the house is covered with a special waterproof plastic material. On top of this there is soil, in which grass and flowers are planted. Such a roof can be very beautiful. But this really is not a new idea. When the early settlers came to the United States, they often made their houses by digging into the ground. Their roofs were made of wood, and then covered by large areas of soil with grass or turf. They were warm, though not always waterproof. People replaced these houses and roofs as soon as they could live in regular wooden homes with wooden or metal roofs. Now, 200 years later, some people think of this as a new idea. But I think, "There is nothing new under the sun."1. 1) partly underground 2) living 3 ) digging into the ground 4) grass waterproof`2.Questions:1. What does the speaker mean by saying "There is nothing new under the sun"2. What makes the speaker think of "earth-sheltered houses"3. What is a living roof4.

The oldest known piece of pottery was found in China and dates back to 7,900 BC. That's almost 10,000 years ago!#The first pots were large bowls, formed by taking a lump of clay and making a bowl shape. Pottery doesn't just include pots, but anything made from clay that can hold things, such as jugs, vases and cups. Pottery was used to hold water, milk, seeds and grains.Later, people learned to mix different clays together to make stronger pottery and to put the pottery in a fire oven so that the clay would harden faster. The potter's wheel was invented in China around 3100 BC. The wheel spins clay like a top. It allows people to make pottery much more quickly and makes shapes that were perfectly symmetrical—bowls that were really round, rather than lumpy or uneven. Pottery is not only considered one of the first inventions but also one of the first art forms. Most types of pottery have been painted with figures or designs; some even tell a story!1.

The characters on this show are mainly puppets, and probably the most loved of the puppets is a gigantic yellow bird called "Big Bird".Caroll Spinney has played Big Bird all the years of Big Bird's existence on American television. Spinney's love of puppets and his own creativity led him to this career. When he was five years old, he saw his first puppet show. He loved the show and never forgot it. When he was seven he bought a used monkey puppet for five cents. His mother had made him a stuffed snake from green material, so he got the idea of making his own puppet show. He made a stage from wooden orange boxes and his mother's old curtains. He charged 2 cents for admission and earned 32 cents for his first performance.Spinney's family liked his creativity and encouraged him to do more. For Christmas when he was nine, his older brother made him a better puppet theater and his mother secretly sewed eight colorful puppets for him. Spinney later wrote, "The more I gave shows, the more I felt the power that one has when performing. All these people would sit in a room and listen to everything I said. I did all the character voices: little girl voices, an old lady voice, and a ghost voice. The audience listened and clapped at the end, and also paid me to do it. What could be a better way to make a living than to perform I knew that I would wind up in the world of entertainment." Spinney continued giving puppet shows. When he decided to go to art school, puppet shows helped him pay for his tuition. Even when he was in the army, he managed to continue giving puppet shows. He knew he wanted to do this as his life's work and that he wanted his audience to be children. When he was given the opportunity to create the character of Big Bird on "Sesame Street", he accepted it and over the years has made Big Bird one of the most beloved characters on American television.1-5 T T T F F6-10 T T T F F。

Yuri Gagarin, a Russian cosmonaut, was the first person in space. On April 12, 1961, he became the first person to leave the Earth in a satellite. He was up there alone for 108 minutes. Before returning to Earth, he traveled 17,560 miles.2. The American astronaut Neil Armstrong, pilot of Apollo 11 was the first person to set foot on the moon. It was on July 20, 1969 that he and Buzz Aldrin rode the Eagle and landed on an area of the moon called the Sea of Tranquility. As he put his foot on the moon's surface, he said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."3. Edward White, the American astronaut, took the first "walk" in space. On June 3, 1965, he floated out into space, and took a "stroll" 100 miles above Earth. The mission plan called for a 12-minute space walk, but White was enjoying himself so much that he was nine minutes late getting back to his capsule. He set a time record by walking through space for 21 minutes.4. The first woman in space was Balentina Tereshkova, a woman astronaut of the Soviet Union.

1. Listening 1OK, everyone, what I want to do today is continue our discussion about cities and the challenges they face, and, I ’d like to focus on the city of Venice, in Italy, which is an extraordinary example. So, to begin with, let extraordinary example. So, to begin with, let’’s review a few of the points we s review a few of the points we’’ve discussed so far. Remember that, for centuries, the city has been struggling with the problem of flooding. As you know, the regular floodwaters As you know, the regular floodwaters——called the acqua alta called the acqua alta——are a big problem in the city. You may also recall （想起）that the government has started the innovative （创新的） MOSE project to build water barriers and stop flooding from the ocean. Now, flooding is an important issue, but many Venetians say that the city has more serious problems than the acqua alta or the MOSE project. And most of these problems have to do with tourism. Of course, tourism has both the positive and negative side course, tourism has both the positive and negative side——tourism is extremely profitable. But the problem in Venice is too many tourists.For example, in 2007 the number of Venetian residents was 60,000. And what do you think the number of visitors to Venice was in that year? Twenty-one million! Recently, on a single holiday weekend in May, 80,000 tourists visited the city. Public parking lots filled up and were closed. And tourists walked through the streets eating and drinking and leaving a lot of trash behind.The result is that Venice The result is that Venice’’s city services just can s city services just can’’t handle t handle（处理，应对（处理，应对（处理，应对) so many people. ) so many people. The city has to pay more and more money for garbage collection to clean up all of the trash. In addition, public transportation on the famous boats and gondolas(In addition, public transportation on the famous boats and gondolas(平底船平底船平底船) is so crowded ) is so crowded that Venetian residents that Venetian residents（居民）（居民）can barely find room to get on. Along with trash and crowded transportation, city residents also have to deal with higher prices for food and for housing. Food prices continue to rise around the city. Some caf és charge as much as 13 U.S. dollars for a soft drink! In the Rialto Market —an area with many shops and stores shops and stores——some of the grocery （食品，杂货）stores have been replaced by souvenir shops, which means that Venetians have fewer places to buy their groceries. In popular tourist areas, rent has almost tripled(areas, rent has almost tripled(三倍三倍三倍), and many small local businesses ), and many small local businesses ), and many small local businesses——for example, toy for example, toy（玩（玩具） stores and hardware stores and hardware（五金）（五金） stores stores——can can’’t afford to pay.Let me add that there is a serious housing problem in Venice. At one time, there were regulations regulations（规章）（规章） making it illegal to convert making it illegal to convert（改装）（改装）residential buildings into hotels. But a law in 1999 removed those regulations, and the housing problem got even worse. Since then, the number of hotels and guesthouses has increased by 600 percent, and the number of houses that are available for local residents has gone down.These days, housing is only affordable for the very rich or for people who already own houses because they houses because they’’ve been passed down by family. Young Venetians simply can ve been passed down by family. Young Venetians simply can’’t afford to buy any property buy any property（财产）（财产）in the city. This has forced a huge number of Venetian residents to move out of the city. Thirty years ago, the population of Venice was around 120,000. Now it it’’s less than 60,000.So, why does Venice continue to encourage tourism when it causes so many problems? Mainly it Mainly it’’s because tourism in Venice generates s because tourism in Venice generates（产生）（产生）more than two billion U.S. dollars a year in revenue year in revenue（税）—（税）—（税）—and many think that the amount is much higher. and many think that the amount is much higher.Also, there there’’s a lot of financial pressure on Venice. The cleaning of canals canals（水道）（水道）（水道）, , restoration restoration（恢复）（恢复）of old structures, and the MOSE project are all very expensive. Tourism brings in money to help the city solve these problems.Another point I want to make is that many people in Venice have jobs related to tourism. As more tourists come to the city, hotels, restaurants, and museums need to hire more workers. In fact, the city of Venice has a lower unemployment rate than the rest of Italy, and it it’’s likely a result of the tourism industry.Some people think that Venice is to blame for its own problems —that these problems are the result of greed for tourists are the result of greed for tourists’’ money. There There’’s a lot of talk about limiting tourists, taxing tourists, and even asking tourists to avoid the busy seasons of Easter and Carnival. However, as you can see, maximizing the number of tourists in Venice is also necessary. So, there seem to be no simple solutions to Venice to be no simple solutions to Venice’’s tourism problem.好,大家,我今天要做的就是继续讨论城市和他们面临的挑战,我想把重点放在意大利的威尼斯市,这是一个非常好的例子。
