You will see that there is an example which has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Man: Pinder’s Animal Park. Hello?Woman: Oh, hello, I’m ringing to ask whether you have any jobs available...Man: Ah, what sort of work are you looking for? Is that permanent, or part time or...Woman: Actually I’m just looking for temporary work. I’m a student.Man: Oh right. I’ll just get a form, and ask you a few questions.Narrator: The woman says that she wants temporary work, so ‘temporary’ has been written in the space.Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer Questions 1-5.Man: Oh right. I’ll just get a form, and ask you a few questions. Then I’ll pass your application on to our recruitment section. Is that OK?Woman: Fine, thank you.Man: So, starting with your name ...Woman: It’s Jane LamertonMan: Is that L-A-double M-E-R-T-O-N?Woman: There’s only one M in it.Man: Oh, right. And your address?Woman: It’s forty-two West Lane.Man: Right... And is that in Exeter?Woman: Yes.Man: OK. And can you give me your mobile phone number?Woman: Oh double seven nine two, four three oh nine two one.Man: Right. Now, the next thing is, when are you available to start work?Woman: I finish college on the eighth of June, that’s in three weeks’ time, but I can’t start work till the eleventh because I’ve got a hospital appointment on the tenth of June.Man: No problem. Now I need to ask you a few questions about the type of job that might be suitable. Do you have any particular kind of work in mind? It doesn’t necessarily mean that you will get work in the field that you want, but I can record your preferences.Woman: Well I’d do anything, and I have worked as an assistant animal keeper before, when I was still at school. But I’m studying at a catering college now, and I’d really like to get some experience as an assistant cook if possible.Man: Right. So that’s your first choice. Have you done that kind of job before?Woman: No. But I’ve helped my aunt sometimes—she runs a cafe in Exeter.Man: Mmm. Would you say you’ve got any relevant skills then?Woman: Well I’m used to using the kind of equipment you usually find in a kitchen.Narrator: Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at Questions 6-10. Now listen and answer Questions 6-10.Man: OK ... And I know you’re still studying, but do you already have any qualifications related to that kind of work? A hygiene qualification, for example? Woman: I haven’t, no, but I’ve got a certificate in food-handling. I did it before I decided to become a full-time student.Man: Fine. OK. That means you wouldn’t need any specific training if you did get the kind of work you wanted. But you’d have to do a short course on First Aid. All our new employees do that. It just takes half a day, and most people find it generally useful. Woman: Oh yes, I’m sure it is.Man: Well that’sabout it, really. Just one last thing - can you give me the name of someone who would give you a reference? Like a previous employer or... Woman: Oh yes, you can put Dr Ruth Price... Man: OK ... Is that one of your college lecturers? Woman: She’s my college tutor. She’s known me for over two years, and I’m sure she wouldn’t mind. In fact she’s given me a reference before.Man: Fine. We’d probably contact her by phone - do you happen to know her number?Woman: I’ve got it on my phone—yes—it’s oh two oh eight, six eight five, double one four. That’s a landline. Man: Good. Well. As I say, I can’t promise anything, but I’ll pass your application on and you should hear in a few days. Is there anything else?Woman: Just one thing—I suffer from a particular type of colour blindness, and sometimes employers have to make special arrangements for that.Man: OK. I’ll make a note of that. It won’t be a problem, but it’s good that you’ve made us aware of it. You can provide us with more details if you are offered a job. Woman: OK. Thanks very much. Bye. Man: Bye.Complete the form below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.

First you have some time to look at Questions 11-15. Now listen and answer Questions 11-15.Leader: Hello everyone. I’ve been asked to talk to you this afternoon about next month’s trip to Tamerton Study Centre for the two-week course. Now some of the things I’m going say you may have already heard or read about... but I think it’s important to emphasise a few key points.First of all, it’s worth reminding you why Tamerton was set up in the first place ... in the late nineteen sixties. That was really before all the concern with preserving the environment which everyone talks about these days. The idea was simply to get people out of the cities and into the country and to find out that just being outdoors can be very rewarding.This is not going to be a holiday in the usual sense. It’s called an adventure course because you’ll really be stretched to your limits but that in itself can be a positive thing. The group I took last year, for example, said that although they actually felt pretty weak and exhausted all the time, it really made them learn a lot about themselves and increased their confidence ... and in the end that’s the most important thing.Now all of you knew about policies at Tamerton before you signed up for it, so you know that in many ways it’s quite old fashioned—you don’t have a lot of choice in what you do. But something which I think makes the place so special is that you get to try so many different things, every day. For instance, one day you’ll do climbing and the next you’ll be surveying rock pools. It’s not intended that you become an expert in any of them ... it’s more like a taster, which you can follow up if you want.And there isn’t a lot of free time ... organised activities and talks, etc. go on until 9:00 pm and lights go out at 11:00 pm There are table tennis tables, with all the equipment, and board games,though I have to say the pieces often go missing so it’s a good idea to take your own. There’s a DVD player with a good selection of films suitable for this age group so don’t take yours.Bed-time at 11:00 pm is strictly enforced ... and there’s a good reason for this. You’re all under eighteen and we organisers need to know that all group members are accounted for in the house as we close for the night. And of course you’ll be so exhausted anyway that you’ll be too sleepy to want to cause any trouble.Narrator: Now you have some time to look at Questions 16-20. Now listen and answer Questions 16-20.Leader: Now, what should you pack? The information sheet tells you a lot about what clothing to bring ... but what about other things? Well, Tamerton House has its own small shop, but anything bigger is several miles away so you won’t have many opportunities for buying supplies. So in this last part of my talk, I’m going to explain what objects you should take with you to the Centre, what you can take if you want and also, very importantly, what you cannot take.Several of you came up to me before this talk and asked whether you can take things like kettles, or hairdryers. The answer is: there are plenty of these electrical appliances available in the Centre and they are of the proper voltage and are checked regularly. Yours may not be, so the rules at Tamerton say you can’t bring them into the Centre ... because it’s considered a fire risk ... remember it’s a very old house. Now, another question was about cell phones. Although you definitely can’t have them on during inside talks, you equally definitely need them when you’re out on exercises ... so they’re a must. I’m afraid. Anybody who wishes to talk to me about borrowing a phone for the fortnight, please see me after this talk.Now, the weather’s heating up at the moment and you’ll be outdoors a great deal. If you wear proper clothing, especially a hat, sun cream is optional. Also they sell high-factor cream in the shop so you don’t have to take any of your own, unless there’s a special kind you use. Now there’s a special note about things like deodorants which come in aerosol cans—I need to tell you that these are banned in the Centre because apparently they have the habit of setting off the fire alarms. If you want to take an aerosol can, you’ll actually be at risk of being told to leave.And finally, people having been asking about whether they need to take towels. Well, the Centre does provide one towel per guest, which you’re required to wash yourself. If you’re happy with that then don’t bring another. If not, take one of your own. Just remember how much outdoor exercise you’ll be doing ... and how dirty and wet you’ll be getting ...Choose the correct answer, A, B or C.Tamerton Centre11．The Tamerton Centre was set up in order to encourage peopleA．to enjoy being in the countryside.B．to help conserve the countryside.C．to learn more about the countryside.正确答案：A12．Last year’s group said that the courseA．built their self esteem.B．taught them lots of new skills.C．made them fitter and stronger.正确答案：A13．For the speaker, what’s the most special feature of the course?A．You can choose which activities you do.B．There’s such a wide variety of activities.C．You can become an expert in new activities.正确答案：B14．The speaker advises people to bringA．their own board games.B．extra table tennis equipment.C．a selection of films on DVD.正确答案：A15．Bed-time is strictly enforced becauseA．it’s a way to reduce bad behaviour.B．tiredness can lead to accidents.C．it makes it easy to check everyone’s in.正确答案：CWhat rules apply to taking different objects to the Centre?Match each object with the correct rule, A-C.Write the correct letter, A-C.Objects:Rules:A You MUST take thisB You CAN take this, if you wishC You must NOT take this16．Electrical equipment______正确答案：C17．Mobile phone______正确答案：A18．Sun cream______正确答案：B19．Aerosol deodorant______正确答案：C20．Towel______正确答案：B听力原文：Narrator: You will hear a trainee teacher called Eve talking to her university tutor about her preparations for teaching practice. Before you listen, you have some time to look at Questions 21-25. Now listen and answer Questions 21-25.Tutor: Hello Eve, come in and sit down ... How’s it going?Eve: Fine thanks. I’m looking forward to my teaching practice next week.Tutor: Good. Now you’ve got two classes, haven’t you—Year 3 and Year 6. Have you done your lesson plans?Eve: Well, I’ve decided to take the topic of renewable energy ... I haven’t done a lesson plan for Year six yet, but I thought I’d base their lesson on an example of very simple technology. So I’ve brought this diagram to show you ... I got it from the internet.Tutor: Let’s see ... A biogas plant... So this is equipment for producing fuel from organic waste?Eve: Yes. The smaller container on the left is where you put the waste you’ve collected ...Tutor: Right, and from there it’s piped into the larger tank?Eve: That’s right. And that’s slurry on the base of the larger tank.Tutor: Right... and what exactly is slurry?Eve: It’s a mixture of organic waste and water.Tutor: So is that pipe at the bottom where the water comes in?Eve: Yes it is... As the slurry mixture digests it produces gas, and that rises to the top of the dome. Then when it’s needed it can be piped off for use as fuel in homes or factories. It’s very simple.Tutor: I suppose there’s some kind of safety valve to prevent pressure build-up?Eve: That’s the overflow tank. That container on the right. As the slurry expands some of it flows into that, and then once some of the gas has been piped off, the slurry level goes down again and the overflow tank empties again.Tutor: I see. Well I think that’s suitably simple for the age level it’s for. I look forward to seeing the whole lesson plan.Eve: Thanks. And can I show you my ideas for the Year three lesson?Tutor: Of course. Let’s look.Narrator: Before you listen to the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at Questions 26-30. Now listen and answer Questions 26-30.Eve: I thought I’d introduce the topic by writing the word ‘energy’on the board, and reinforcing the spelling and the pronunciation. Then I’ll do a little mime—you know, run on the spot or something—to convey the sense.Tutor: I’d keep it brief at this stage ...Eve: Yes, I will. Then I’ll wipe the word off and write the question ‘Where does energy come from?’, and see what the pupils come up with.Tutor: Fine. I’d suggest that you just brainstorm at this stage, and don’t reject any of their suggestions.Eve: Yes, that’s what I was going to do ... Then I’ve produced a set of simple statements, like ‘Energy makes cars move along the road’, and ‘Energy makes our bodies grow’. There are eight altogether.Tutor: Are you going to give them out as a handout? Or write them up on the board?Eve: First, I’ll put them on the board, and then I’ll read them out loud. And I’ll get the pupils to copy them out in their notebooks. I’ll also ask them to think up one more similar statement by themselves, and add it to the list.Tutor: Good idea.Eve: After that I thought I’d vary things a bit by sticking some pictures up ... of things like the sun and plants and food, and petrol, and a running child. And I’ll get the pupils to work out what order the pictures should come in. in terms of the energy chain.Tutor: I think that’s a very good idea. You could move the pictures around as the pupils give you directions.Eve: Yes, I think they’d enjoy that. And to finish off I’ve made a gap-fill exercise to give out. They’ll be doing that individually, and while they’re writing I’ll walk round and check their work.Tutor: Good ... And have you worked out the timing of all that?

She is describing research into artificial gills designed to enable humans to breathe underwater. Now you have some time to look at Questions 31-40. Now listen, and answer Questions 31-40.Presenter: In my talk today I’ll be exploring the idea of artificial gills. I’ll start by introducing the concept, giving some background and so forth and then I’ll go on to explain the technological applications, including a short, very simple, experiment I conducted.Starting with the background ... As everyone knows, all living creatures need oxygen to live. Mammals take in oxygen from the atmosphere by using their lungs, and. fishes take oxygen from water by means of their gills, which of course in most fishes are located either side of their head.But human beings have always dreamt of being able to swim underwater like the fishes, breathing without the help of oxygen tanks. I don’t know whether any of you have done any scuba diving but it’s a real pain having to use all that equipment. You need special training, and it’s generally agreed that tanks are too heavy and big to enable most people to move and work comfortably underwater. So scientists are trying a different tack: rather than humans carrying an oxygen supply as they go underwater, wouldn’t it possible to extract oxygen in situ, that is, directly from the water, whilst swimming?In the nineteen sixties the famous underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau, for example, predicted that one day surgery could be used to equip humans with gills. He believed our lungs could be bypassed and we would learn to live underwater just as naturally as we live on land. But of course, most of us would prefer not to go to such extremes.I’ve been looking at some fairly simple technologies developed to extract oxygen from water—ways to produce a simple, practicalartificial gill enabling humans to live and breathe in water without harm. Now, how scientists and inventors went about this was to look at the way different animals handled this—fairly obviously they looked at the way fishes breathe but also how they move down and float up to the surface using inflatable sacs, called swim bladders. Scientists also looked at animals without gills, which use bubbles of air underwater, notably beetles. These insects contrive to stay underwater for long periods by breathing from this bubble which they hold under their wing cases.…Presenter: By looking at these animal adaptations, inventors began to come up with their own ‘artificial gills’. Now making a crude gill is actually rather easy—more straightforward than you would think. You take a watertight box ... which is made of a material which is permeable to gas, that is, it allows it to pass through, inwards and outwards. You then fill this with air, fix it to the diver’s face and go down underwater. But a crucial factor is that the diver has to keep the water moving, so that water high in oxygen is always in contact with the gill, so he can’t really stay still. And to maximise this contact it’s necessary for your gill to have a big surface area. Different gill designers have addressed this problem in different ways but many choose to use a network or lattice-arrangement of tiny tubes as part of their artificial gills. Then the diver is able to breathe in and out—oxygen from the water passes through the outer walls of the gill and carbon-dioxide is expelled. In a nut-shell, that’s how the artificial gill works.So, having read about these simple gill mechanisms, I decided to create my own. I followed the procedure I’ve just described and it worked pretty well when I tried it out in the swimming pool ... I lasted underwater for nearly forty minutes! However, I’ve read about other people breathing through their gill for several hours.So the basic idea works well, but the real limitation is that these simple gills don’t work as the diver descends to any great depth because the pressure builds and a whole different set of problems are caused by that... Research is being done into how these problems might be overcome... but that’s another story which has to be the subject of another talk!Despite this serious limitation, many people have high hopes for the artificial gill and they think it might have applications beyond simply enabling an individual to stay underwater for a length of time. For example, the same technology might be used to provide oxygen for submarines ... enabling them to stay submerged for months on end without resorting to potentially dangerous technologies such as nuclear power. Another idea is to use oxygen derived from the water as energy for fuel cells. These could power machinery underwater, such as robotic devices...So, in my view, this is an area of technology with great potential. Now, if anyone has any questions, I’d be happy to answer...Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.

And today we’re taking a look at a number of different breeds of working dogs. And here to report on the dogs with jobs is Kevin Thorn hill. Kevin: Thanks, Joanne. Well yes, dogs with jobs is the subject of today’s programme. Dogs have earned themselves a reputation over the centuries for being extremely loyal. And here’s a little story which illustrates just how loyal they are. Just outside the country town of Gundagai , Australia is a statue built to commemorate a dog - a dog which sat waiting for his owner to return to the spot where he’d left him. Well ... the story, which was immortalised in a song, has it that the poor dog died waiting for his master ‘five miles from Gundegai!’, which is where they built the statue. Now that’s what I call loyalty! Well, because of their loyalty and also their ability to learn practical skills dogs can be trained to do a number of very valuable jobs. Perhaps the most well known of working dogs is the border collie sheep dog. Sheep dogs which work in unison with their masters need to be smart and obedient with a natural ability to herd sheep. Some farmers say that their dogs are so smart that they not only herd sheep, they can count them, too! Another much-loved working dog is the guide dog, trained to work with the blind. Guide dogs, usually Labradors, need to be confident enough to lead their owner through traffic and crowds but they must also be of a gentle nature. It costs a great deal of money to train a dog for this very valuable work but the Guide Dog Associations in the UK, America and Australia receive no government assistance so all the money comes from donations. Another common breed of work dog is the German shepherd. German shepherds make excellent guard dogs and are also very appropriate as search and rescue dogs working in disaster zones after earthquakes and avalanches. These dogs must be tough and courageous to cope with the arduous conditions of their work. And so that they can be sent anywhere in the world to assist in disaster relief operations, effective dogs and their trainers are now listed on an international database. When you arrive at an airport here in Australia, you may begreeted in the baggage hall by a detector dog, wearing a little red coat bearing the words ‘Quarantine’. These dogs are trained to sniff out fresh fruit as well as meat and even live animals hidden in people’s bags. In order to be effective, a good detector dog must have an enormous food drive - in other words they must really love their food. At Sydney airport where there are ten detector dogs working full time, they stop about 80 people a month trying to bring illegal goods into the country. And according to their trainers, they very rarely get it wrong! Another famous working dog is the husky. Huskies, which originally came from Siberia, have been used for decades as a means of transport on snow, particularly in Antarctica where they have played an important role. Huskies are well adapted to harsh conditions and they enjoy working in a team. But the huskies have all left Antarctica now because the International Treaty prohibits their use in the territory as they are not native animals. Many people were sad to see the dogs leave Antarctica as they had been vital to the early expeditions and earned their place in history along with the explorers.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11-12Complete the sentences below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.11．The story illustrates that dogs are ______ animals.正确答案：loyal12．The people of the town built a ______ of a dog.正确答案：statueQuestions 13-20Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.13．【13】正确答案：(possibly) count14．【14】正确答案：gentle (nature)15．【15】正确答案：donations/donors16．【16】正确答案：search and rescue17．【17】正确答案：(international) database18．【18】正确答案：love their food/ love food/ love eating19．【19】正确答案：80 people20．【20】正确答案：in a team听力原文：Chairman: We’re very pleased to welcome to our special interest group today, Dr. Linda Gray car who is from the City Institute for the Blind. Linda is going to talk to us about the system of writing for the blind known as Braille. Linda, welcome.Dr. Gray car: Thank you.Chairman: Now we’d like to keep this session pretty informal, and I know Linda won’t mind if members of the group want to ask questions as we go along. Let’s start with an obvious one. What is Braille and where does it get its name from?Dr. Gray car: Well, as you said, Braille is a system of writing used by and for people who cannot see. Er, it gets its name from the man who invented it, the Frenchman Louis Braille who lived in the early 19th century. Chairman: Was Louis Braille actually blind himself?Dr. Gray car: Well ... he wasn’t born blind, but he lost his sight at the age of three as the result of an accident in his father’s workshop. Louis Braille then went to Paris to the National Institute for Blind Children and that’s where he invented his writing system at the age of only 15 in 1824 while he was at the Institute.Chairman: But he wasn’t the first person to invent a system of touch reading for the blind, was he?Dr. Gray car: No - another Frenchman had already come up with the idea of printing embossed letters that stood out from the paper but this was very cumbersome and inefficient.Chairman: Did er Louis Braille base his system on this first one?Dr. Gray car: No, not really. When he first went to Paris he heard about a military system of writing using twelve dots. This was a system invented by an enterprising French army officer and it was known as ‘night writing’It wasn’t meant for the blind, but rather ... for battle communications at night.Chairman: That must’ve been fun!Dr. Gray car: Anyway, Braille took this system as a starting point but instead of using the twelve dots which ‘night writing’used, he cut the number of dots in half and developed a six-dot system.Chairman: Can you give us a little more information about how it works?Dr. Gray car: Well, it’s a system of touch reading which uses an arrangement of raised dots called a ‘cell’. Braille numbered the dot positions 1-2-3 downward on the left and 4-5-6 downward on the right. The letters of the alphabet are then formed by using different combinations of these dots.Student: Yes, so is the writing system based on the alphabet with each word being individually spelt out?Dr. Gray car: Well ... it’s notquite that simple, I’m afraid. For instance, the first 10 letters of the alphabet are formed using dots 1, 2, 4 and 5. But Braille also has its own short forms for common words. For example, ‘b’ for the word ‘but’ and ‘h’ for ‘have’ - there are many other contractions like this.Chairman: So you spell out most words letter by letter, but you use short forms for common words.Dr. Gray car: Yes. Though, I think that makes it sound a little easier than it actually is!Chairman: And was it immediately accepted? I mean, did it catch on straight away?Dr. Gray car: Well, yes and no! Um, it was immediately accepted and used by Braille’s fellow students at the school but the system was not officially adopted until 1854, two years after Braille’s death. So, official acceptance was slow in coming!Student: I suppose it works for all languages which use the roman alphabet?Dr. Gray car: Yes, it does, with adaptations, of course.Student: Can it be written by hand or do you need a machine to produce Braille?Dr. Gray car: Well, you can write it by hand on to paper with a device called a slate and stylus but the trick is that you have to write backwards ... e.g. from right to left so that then when you turn your sheet over, the dots face upwards and can be read like English from left to right.Student: Oh, I see.Dr. Gray car: But these days you’d probably use a Braille- writing machine, which is a lot easier!Chairman: And, er, tell us, Linda. Is Braille used in other ways other than for reading text?Dr. Gray car: Yes, indeed. In addition to the literary Braille code, as it’s known, which of course includes English and French, there are other codes. For instance, in 1965 they created a form of Braille for Mathematics.Student: I can’t, imagine trying to do maths in Braille!Dr. Gray car: Yes, that does sound difficult, I agree. And there’s also a version for scientific notation. Oh and yes, I almost forgot, there is now a version for music notation as well.Chairman: Well, thanks, Linda. That was most interesting.

Our memories, it’s true tosay, work very differently depending upon whether we are very old, very young or somewhere in the middle. But when exactly do we start to remember things and how much can we recall? One of the first questions that we might ask is - do babies have any kind of episodic memory ... can they remember particular events? Obviously, we can’t ask them, so how do we find out? Well, one experiment that’s been used has produced some interesting results. It’s quite simple and involves a baby, in its cot, a colourful mobile and a piece of string. It works like this. If you suspend the mobile above the cot and connect the baby’s foot to it with the string the mobile will move every time the baby kicks. Now you can allow time for the baby to learn what happens and enjoy the activity. Then you remove the mobile for a time and re-introduce it some time from one to fourteen days later. If you look at this table of results ... at the top two rows ... you can see that what is observed shows that two-month- old babies can remember .the trick for up to two days and three-month-old babies for up to a fortnight. And although babies trained on one mobile will respond only if you use the familiar mobile, if you train them on a variety of colours and designs, they will happily respond to each one in turn. Now, looking at the third row on the table, you will see that when they learn to speak, babies as young as 21 months demonstrate an ability to remember events which happened several weeks earlier. And by the time they are two, some children’s memories will stretch back over six months, though their recall will be random, with little distinction between key events and trivial ones and very few of these memories, if any, will survive into later life. So we can conclude from this that even very tiny babies are capable of grasping and remembering a concept. So how is it that young infants can suddenly remember for a considerably longer period of time? Well, one theory accounting for all of this - and this relates to the next question we might ask - is that memory develops with language. Very young children with limited vocabularies are not good at organising their thoughts. Though they may be capable of storing memories, do they have the ability to retrieve them? One expert has suggested an analogy with books on a library shelf. With infants, he says, ‘it is as if early books are hard to find because they were acquired before the cataloguing system was developed’. But even older children forget far more quickly than adults do. In another experiment, several six-year-olds, nine-year-olds and adults were shown a staged incident. In other words, they all watched what they thought was a natural sequence of events. The incident went like this ... a lecture which they were listening to was suddenly interrupted by something accidentally overturning, in this case it was a slide projector. To add a third stage and make the recall more demanding, this ‘accident’ was then followed by an argument. In a memory test the following day, the adults and the nine-year-olds scored an average 70% and the six- year-olds did only slightly worse. In a retest five months later, the pattern was very different. The adults’memory recall hadn’t changed but the nine-year-olds’had slipped to less than 60% and the six-year-olds could manage little better than 40% recall. In similar experiments with numbers, digit span is shown to...SECTION 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-35Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS or A NUMBER for each answer.Question: Canbabies remember any 【31】______ ?Experiment with babies: Apparatus:baby in cot colourful mobile some 【32】______ Re-intrlduce mobile between one and 【33】______ later.Table showing memory test resultsBaby’s age Maximum memory span2 months 2 days3 months 【34】______4 months several weeks2 years 【35】______31．【31】正确答案：(particular) events32．【32】正确答案：string33．【33】正确答案：14 days34．【34】正确答案：(a) fortnight/2 weeks/two weeks35．【35】正确答案：six monthsQuestions 36-40Research questions: Is memory linked to 【36】______ development?Can babies 【37】______their memories?Experiment with older children:Stages in incident: a) lecture taking place b) object falls over c) 【38】______Table showing memory test results Age % remembered next day% remembered after 5 months Adults 70% 【39】______9-year-olds 70% Less than 60%6-year-olds Just under 70% 【40】______ 36．【36】正确答案：language37．【37】正确答案：retrieve/recall/recover38．【38】正确答案：(an) argument39．【39】正确答案：70%. 40．【40】正确答案：40%.。

Its advantages are those of safety and efficiency -safety as it avoids hitting floating or submerged debris and efficiency as it can travel at five times the speed, but at one fifth of the fuel cost of a normal ferry. And plans are being drawn up for a large version, big enough to carry 150 passengers and freight for 2,000 kilometres at over 300 kilometres per hour. Since the Hoverplane can carry a 50% greater payload than a similar sized aircraft, but with a 30% lower fuel consumption, and it needs neither special ports nor runways, the craft should be an attractive economic proposition for operators and promises to be a popular ferry in the 21st century.Sentence completion Complete the sentences below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.Hoverplane17．The Hoverplane will be able to travel at a maximum speed of______per hour.正确答案：250 kilometres18．The craft is efficient, because it uses______of the normal fuel of a ferry.正确答案：one fifth/ 1/519．The larger planned version will be able to carry______ and freight at 300 kilometres an hour.正确答案：150 passengers。
雅思(写作)模拟试卷82(题后含答案及解析)
雅思（写作）模拟试卷82(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. 2.1．You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.The graph and bar chart below show the average monthly rainfall and temperature for one region of East Africa.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and making comparisons where relevant.Write at least 150 words.Average monthly rainfall and temperatures正确答案：The graph shows the average weather conditions in one region of East Africa. It shows that there are significant differences in the average monthly precipitation and some variation in temperature. The range of rainfall figures is very large across the year(from approximately five to 280 millimetres)whereas the temperature only fluctuates by three degrees, from 20.5-23.5°C. Broadly speaking, in this region periods of high rainfall tend also to be periods of slightly hotter weather, with two noticeable peaks in the year. Temperatures are fairly high in March and April(just over 23°C), which coincides with a time of very heavy rainfall(with a top figure of 280mm in April). Both rainfall and temperature figures fall in the middle of the year(to a yearly low of 20.5°C, and just five mm of rain in July). The exception to this pattern—of warmer weather being damper—is January/February and September where there are relatively high temperatures(22-23°C)but low rainfall(less than 20mm).2．You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic:Meat production requires relatively more land than crop production. Some people think that as land is becoming scarce, the world’s meat consumption should be reduced.What measures could be taken to reduce the world’s meat consumption? What kinds of problem might such measures cause?Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 words.正确答案：I strongly agree with the suggestion that humankind should consume less meat and instead have more vegetables in their diet, and I believe that a number of steps can be taken to persuade people to do this. Firstly, I feel that education has a major role to play in bringing about this change of lifestyle. A well-informed minority of the world’s population may be fully aware of the fact that it is much cheaper and more environmentally sound to eat vegetables, thereby cutting out one whole stage of production, rather than consuming the animals which graze on vegetation. However, I believe that the majority are not conscious of this. Figures should be made widely available showing the savings to be made from this option—both financial and ecological. From a young age, children should also be taught this as an essential part of the curriculum and to set an example, school meals shoulc be redesigned to reflect a shift from meat to vegetables. A second measure would be financial. Taxes can be put on meat to make it a luxury item to be eaten fairly rarely, at most three of four times a week, rather than two or three times a day as is the practice in many parts of the developed world. There is, however, a danger in too much interference in people’s choice. It is often the case that resistance builds up against lecturing and fiscal penalties, meaning that people will react by ignoring all the advice. Perhaps a compromise position would be to encourage less wastage in food production and retail, particularly in the developed world. Huge amounts of perfectly usable food are thrown away by households and restaurants and supermarkets. Less wastage would mean less food production in the first place.。

First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Man: ‘Holidays for You’. Sean speaking. Can I help you?Woman: Oh hi. I’ve been looking at your website. Um, I’m interested in a cycling holiday in Austria in April.Man: Ah! We have two trips in April - one lasts fourteen days and the other ten days.Woman: Mm ... I think the(Example)10-day trip is better. So let’s see. I’ve got a calendar here. What are the dates?The length of the trip that the woman chooses is 10 days, so ‘10’has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.[repeat]Man: Well, that trip is in the middle of the month.(1)It starts on the 17th of April and it finishes on the 27th.Woman: That suits me. I can’t leave work before the 10th of April.Man: Let me see if there are any spaces. Is it just for yourself?Woman: Myself and my sister - so two of us.Man: Um, yes. We have spaces.Woman: Is it a big group?Man: At the moment there are 12 people booked on this trip and with you two that will be 14.(2)The maximum number is 16 so it’s almost fully booked. We can’t go over that because it’s hard to keep a larger group together.Woman: I need to check that I’m fit enough for this but the distances look OK. The website says(3)we’ll ride approximately 45km a day. Is that right?Man: That’s correct and I’ve got the exact distances here. It really depends on which part of the trip. Some days are only 35km and some are more. But you’ll never have to cycle more than 50km in one day.Woman: Oh, OK. I can manage that. And we stay in hotels?Man: Yes. They all have restaurants and the rooms have en-suite facilities.Woman: And do they have pools? It’s how I relax after a long day.Man: There is a(4)swimming pool in a few of the hotels but none of them has a gym.Woman: I don’t think we’ll need a gym after all that cycling! I’d better find out how much the holiday costs before I get too excited.Man: Including flights it’s ￡1,177 for one person.Woman: Oh, we’ll book our own flights on the Internet.Man: Ah, that’s just ￡(5)1.013 then. And we can book insurance for you if you want.Woman: Mm ... and which meals are included in that price?Man: Well, er, breakfast of course. And the hotels will provide you with a packed lunch each day. We do stop during the afternoon in a village somewhere for a rest, so(6)any snacks you buy then are extra. Then dinner will be in the hotel every evening and that’s included in the price of the holiday.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen andanswer questions 7 to 10.Woman: And you provide the bicycles of course. What else?Man: A lock and a bell come with the bike as well as lights, although you shouldn’t need to cycle in the dark. There’s a small bag, or pannier, on the front of the bike, where you can put the things you want to take with you during the day like water or fruit.(7)But we won’t allow you to cycle unless you bring a helmet. We don’t provide these locally because, like walking boots on a walking holiday, it’s really important it fits properly.Woman: OK.Man: If there’s any special gear you need for your holiday, we recommend a particular website and you can get a discount by quoting your booking reference.Woman: Great. What is it?Man: It’s . That’s all one word, and I’ll spell it for you: www dot(8)B-A double L-A-N-T-Y-N-E dot com.Woman: Good. I’ve got that down. I’ve been looking at your website while we’ve been talking.

Some of the tracks sometimes get very muddy.Woman: OK. Well, hopefully it won’t rain too much! I know we stop in towns and villages but do we get a chance to look around?

First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 11 to 14.Announcer: And now we have our ‘Know your town’ section Where we look at what’s on offer in our area. Today John Munroe is going to tell us about local food and eating out. John.John: Well, most of us buy our food in supermarkets these days but we’re very lucky having a wonderful market here. It was originally on the piece of land in front of the cathedral but at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river.(11)When the new shopping centre was built in the 1960s, it found a home beneath the multi-storey car park where it still is. but there are plans to move it back to its previous home by the river.The market is now open six days a week. On Tuesday to Saturday you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area, as well as a whole range of imported produce.(12)But if you come on a Sunday, you’ll find a different market, where craftspeople sell what they have made - things like bags, cards, clothes. During the week there are a few stalls selling more everyday utensils like saucepans and cleaning products alongside the fruit and vegetables - as well as one new stall selling antique furniture which is proving to be very popular.People often ask what our local dish is. As we’re by the sea, they expect it to be some kind of fish recipe. Our fish is good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out.(13)What we do have is an apple cake that isn’t really made anywhere else. There’s a new cafe in the High Street: Barton’s, which bakes them fresh every morning and serves them with delicious home-made ice cream in a choice of flavours.Now, the harbour is obviously the place to buy fresh fish. Every morning there’s a stall where local fishermen sell a selection of the day’s catch before the rest goes to London or abroad. They’ve been doing that for as long as anyone can remember of course, but the harbour itself looks very different from a few years ago.(14)Most of the restaurants used to be at the far end, but that part was redeveloped and the restaurants had to relocate to the other end. Many of them are simply the old ones in new premises but a couple of new ones have opened recently so there’s a good range now both in the harbour and the town itself. I’m now going to give you my ‘Top Six Places to Eat’ in different parts of the town.Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.So Number 1 for me isMerrivales, which is in one of the busiest parts of the town leading down to the harbour. It’s in a side street so it doesn’t look out over the water but it’s very close, so you can take a walk after your meal and find one of the cafes with live music. At Merrivales you can enjoy delicious fresh fish and seafood.(15)The friendly staff offer very attentive service and a really enjoyable evening.The Lobster Pot is on the main road going down to the harbour so it also misses out on the sea view, but the food makes up for that.(16)It serves a huge range of fish and seafood as well as vegetarian and meat dishes so there’s something for everyone. Prices are from mid-range to fairly expensive so it’s really only for a special occasion.Elliots is in the city centre and is a very upmarket restaurant in the evening but during the day it serves lunch and coffee.(17)It’s on the twentieth floor above some offices and it’s a great place to sit for a while as you can see most of the city spread out from there. It does get very busy though and you may have to wait to be served.Not far from the city centre is The Cabin which is on the canal bank. You can’t park your car there - it’s a fifteen-minute walk from the nearest car park - but(18)it’s very peaceful, a good place to relax away from the traffic. It’s not cheap but it’s an ideal place for a long lunch.The Olive Tree is a family-run restaurant in the city centre offering beautifully prepared Greek dishes. It’s well known locally and very popular. Service can be slow when it’s busy as all the food is freshly made. There’s plenty of room and on Friday and Saturday nights,(19)the wooden floors resound with live music and dancing which is certainly worth going for.The last place I want to recommend has only just opened in a converted school building. The Old School Restaurant has been very cleverly renovated.(20)The use of mirrors, plants and the colours on the walls makes you feel as though you’re in a large garden instead of the city centre. There are only a few dishes on the menu but they change every day.So Tanya, I...11．The market is now situatedA．under a car park.B．beside the cathedral.C．near the river.正确答案：A解析：Distraction B: ‘It was originally ... in front of the cathedral’ but later ‘it was moved’. It was never ‘beside’ the cathedral; C: ‘at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river’ but John goes on to say it found another ‘home’‘in the 1960s’. Although ‘there are plans to move[the market]back ...’ these are for some time in the future, not now.12．On only one day a week the market sellsA．antique furniture.B．local produce.C．hand-made items.正确答案：C解析：Distraction A: Antique furniture is sold on ‘one new stall’, not ‘on onlyone day’; B: Local produce[= ‘fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area’]is sold from ‘Tuesday to Saturday’.13．The area is well known forA．ice cream.B．a cake.C．a fish dish.正确答案：B解析：Distraction A: Ice cream is served with the cake in one cafe but the area isn’t famous for the ice cream; C: John says ‘Our fish is good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out’.14．What change has taken place in the harbour area?A．Fish can now be bought from the fishermen.B．The restaurants have moved to a different part.C．There are fewer restaurants than there used to be.正确答案：B解析：Distraction A: Fish can be bought from the fishermen but this isn’t a change(‘They’ve been doing that for as long as anyone can remember ...’); C: There are more restaurants(‘a couple of new ones have opened recently’)not fewer.Which advantage is mentioned for each of the following restaurants?Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-H, next to questions 15-20.AdvantagesA the decorationB easy parkingC entertainmentD excellent serviceE good valueF good viewsG quiet locationH wide menu15．Merrivales ______正确答案：D解析：Distraction C: The entertainment is in ‘one of the cafes with live music’ in the area. Distraction F: ‘it doesn’t look out over the water’, so it doesn’t have good views. Distraction G: It is in ‘one of the busiest parts of the town’, so it isn’t a quiet location. Distraction H: It doesn’t have a wide menu - John just mentions ‘delicious fresh fish and seafood’.16．The Lobster Pot ______正确答案：H解析：Distraction E: It’s not good value because prices ‘are from mid-range to fairly expensive’. Distraction F: ‘it also misses out on the sea view’. Distraction G: It ‘is on the main road’ so it isn’t in a ‘quiet location’.17．Elliots ______正确答案：F解析：Distraction G: John says it ‘is in the city centre’so it’s not in a ‘quiet location’. Distraction D: ‘you may have to wait to be served’so the service isn’t ‘excellent’.18．The Cabin ______正确答案：G解析：Distraction B: John says ‘You can’t park your car there ...’; E: ‘It’s not cheap’.19．The Olive Tree ______正确答案：C解析：Distraction H: It serves ‘beautifully prepared Greek dishes’ so it doesn’t have a ‘wide menu’; D: ‘Service can be slow’ so it’s not ‘excellent’.20．The Old School Restaurant ______正确答案：A解析：Distraction H: ‘There are only a few dishes on the menu’.听力原文：You will hear three students on a media studies course talking about a film they are planning to make. First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.Reza: Hi Mike.Mike: Hi Reza, this is Helen.Helen: Hello!Mike: We’re really pleased you’ve agreed to join us on this film project.Helen: Yes, your experience is going to be so useful.Reza: Well, I hope so. It’s the technical side I know best - lighting, sound and stuff.Mike: But you think the script is OK?Reza: Yes, I think it’s great! Um, have you decided where you’re going to shoot?Helen: Well, there’s the water-mill scene at the end. And we’ve thought about some locations in town we can use. They’re behind the shopping mall and on a couple of residential streets. And in an empty shop on campus. It means we don’t have to worry about getting permission from a shopowner.Mike: So(21)do you think we should go to all the locations with you?Reza: It would be a good idea. We need to talk about the levels of background noise so we know they’re all going to be reasonable places to film.Mike: But the sounds of traffic will make it more natural.Helen: I think Reza means things like aeroplanes, trains and so on that would mean we have to stop filming.Reza: Exactly. And also I’ll make notes for myself about what lighting I’m going to need. I think the university department has a good range of equipment, but I’ll need to make a list for each location for my own reference. Anyway, once we’ve had a look round,(22)youcan do the roadworks check.Mike: What do you mean?Reza: You need to find out about building work or roadworks. Because you could start filming one day and come back in the morning to find one of the roads has been dug up! The local council have to be informed about things like that so you can find out from them.Mike: OK. Then I think we need to work from the script and put together a list of all the scenes and decide which ones we’re going to film when. We need to(23)prepare the shooting schedule, day by day.Reza: You’re right. Then when you know how long filming is going to last, you can tell everyone when they’re needed.Helen: OK, so as soon as we can, we’ll audition, and then when we contact people to offer them parts we can send the exact dates and(24)make really sure they are free. Because often the actors are all enthusiastic but then when you try to pin them down about whether they’re really free at that time, you find they’ve got exams or something, or they’re off to a festival just before and you have to rush about looking for replacements.Mike: Then, we need people who can take over the main parts if one of our stars falls ill or something.Reza: Yes, I agree. So offer the main parts to the people we really want, and then look at other volunteers who were OK.Helen:(25)Yes. We can select the understudies once the main roles have been confirmed. So, once we’ve got that sorted and we’ve held all the rehearsals of the main scenes, we’ll be ready to start filming.Reza: Yes, that sounds good. Anything else?Mike: Er, well, just housekeeping, really. We don’t actually need costumes because actors will wear their own clothes.(26)My family has agreed to lend us some pieces of furniture which we need, so we’ll go and fetch those the weekend before we start.Helen: We’ll provide food and drink during shooting so I’m going to borrow some cool-boxes.Mike: And I’ve got a little van. Most of the locations are within walking distance of the halls of residence anyway. The only one further away is the water-mill.Reza: Ah, yes, can you tell me about that?Mike: Um, OK. Er, hang on a minute, I’ll get my notes. There’s a plan in them.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.Mike: Here’s the mill. You see, basically you have a vertical water-wheel which was used to power the grinding stones.Reza: Mm, it sounds really interesting. Will we film inside?Helen: Yes. That’s where the final scene between the girl and the man takes place. Our plan is to(27)fix one camera outside bv the window next to the door, to film through the window, and then have another handheld camera inside the mill. That means we can get two views of the same scene. We were going to do something using a mirror, but we decided that would be too complicated.Mike: Yes, by doing it that way,(28)all we’ll need is lights on the inside, next to the wall behind the wheel which can shine across to the opposite wall.Reza: Hmm. Will that give enough light?Helen: I think so, because the scene is in the evening; it shouldn’t be too bright. The actors will be carrying torches too.Mike: And(29)we’ll have an old screen made of wood just inside the door, because it’s a new door and it’ll look wrong. The lights won’t shine directly on it so it’ll be fine.Reza: So you won’t actually show the door open?Mike: No.(30)There’s a huge box on the floor against the wall farthest from the wheel. We’ll see the girl approaching the mill on her bike. Then we see through the window and the man is inside looking at it, then the next shot is the girl, in the room with him,opening the box.Reza: So it’ll be a mysterious ending! Well, I think it’s going to be a great project.Mike: Good.Helen: Thanks!Complete the flow-chart below.Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-l, next to questions 21-26.A actorsB furnitureC background noiseD costumesE local councilF equipmentG shooting scheduleH understudiesI shopowners 21．正确答案：C解析：Distraction ‘equipment’ is wrong because Reza says ‘I’ll make notes for myself about what lighting I’m going to need ... a good range of equipment, but I’ll need to make a list for each location for my own reference’(he will decide on the lighting equipment himself so they won’t discuss it).22．正确答案：E解析：The word ‘roadworks’ tells you when to listen for the answer to 22 but it does not come immediately.23．正确答案：G24．正确答案：A25．正确答案：H解析：The meaning of ‘understudies’ is given before you hear the word.26．正确答案：B解析：Distraction Mike mentions ‘costumes’ but points out they ‘don’t actually need’ any.Choose four answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-G, next to questions 27-30.A lightsB fixed cameraC mirrorD torchesE wooden screenF bikeG large box27．正确答案：B解析：It’s outside the mill, by the window.

First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[Pause the recording for one minute.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.Lecturer: Good afternoon. I want this afternoon as an introduction to our ecology module to offer examples of exotic pests - non-native animals or plants which are, or may be, causing problems - which might prove a fruitful topic for seminar papers later in the term. People and products are criss-crossing the world as never before, and on these new global highways, plants and animals are travelling too.Exotic plants and animals are turning up in Antarctica and on the most remote islands on Earth. For example, the Australian red-backed spider - it’s made its way to countries fairly near home, such as New Zealand and Japan, as some of you may know - well, it’s also been found on Tristan da Cunha,(31)which is a remote island, thousands of miles from anywhere, way out in the middle of the Atlantic.Now, another famous animal invader in the other direction, so to speak, from England to Australia in the southern hemisphere, is the rabbit. This was in 1830 and it might seem less of a threat, but it became an extraordinarily destructive pest. The fact that rabbits increased so rapidly is perhaps more understandable when we remind ourselves that they had originally been introduced to England from continental Europe eight centuries earlier.(32)This was because theywere regarded as a luxury food source, and in spite of having warm fur, they probably originated on the hot dry plains of Spain, which of course explains why they thrive in the climate of Australia.A much less cuddly example of a pest introduced to Australia, this time from America, is fire ants. These are increasing and spreading very fast.(33)Their huge nests can now be found in gardens in the city of Brisbane and they are costing the Australian government a great deal of money in control measures. These were an accidental introduction, rather than a deliberate one, brought to Australia, probably in horticultural imports or in mud on second-hand machinery.As a biologist and conservationist, I have become increasingly concerned about these matters. Exotic invasions are irreversible and deserve to be taken more seriously even when they aren’t particularly damaging. For example, something that is not necessarily a major disaster compared to other ecological experiments:(34)in 1975 an Australian species of earthworm was deliberately introduced to the northern hemisphere, in Scotland, because they were bigger than the natives.(35)The aim was that they would be more effective than native species, but in fact they don’t do more for the soil condition than the smaller locals which they displace. Although they don’t do a lot of harm, as far as we know up to now, this will probably prove to have been a mistake.A much more serious case, also in Scotland, as well as other countries, along with the latest victim, Iceland, is the New Zealand flatworm. This is a most unwelcome newcomer in these regions of (36)north-west Europe. Basically, this flatworm came into these countries by accident. It’s now been realised that it was actually (37)carried in the plant pots containing exotic ornamental shrubs and so on, and as it eats local earthworms, and doesn’t benefit the local ecology in any way, it is a real pest.Next, there’s a further instance, this time in the water and it’s come from Japan. It’s(38)a delicious but very fast-spreading seaweed and is one of many exotic species, large and small, in the seas covering the rocks around Australia. Unfortunately, it is replacing indigenous seaweeds and permanently altering the ecosystem. However, to look at the situation from a business point of view - it is now being harvested and exported, dried, back to Japan, its original home, where it’s particularly popular. So sometimes we may find accidental benefits from apparently harmful arrivals.Well, you could say that world ecology is now going the same way as popular culture. Global music and fashions, food and drinks are taking over from local ones in every land. And in ecosystems, we find vigorous exotic invaders overwhelming native species and natural habitats.But can we find any examples of invaders which appear to be a problem and then find that in fact they may not be such a big issue after all? We might take as an example a native of Australia, the budgerigar, the most common pet parrot in the world, of course. Because there have been many escapes over the years, it is now to be found flying about in feral flocks where the climate suits it. So, these flocks of budgerigars have been getting very numerous(39)in the south-east of the United States, particularly in residential areas. People have been getting quite worried about this, but it has been observed that the size of the flocks has diminished somewhat recently. The fact that they are smaller is thought to be(40)due to the fact that new competitors for their habitat have arrived from other places.That’s the last example for now. What I’d like you to consider isthis: Is the planet Earth moving towards a one-world ecosystem? How far would it be a wholly bad development?Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.31．正确答案：(the)Atlantic(Ocean)32．正确答案：(luxury)food(source)解析：Distraction Rabbits’‘fur’ is mentioned but there is no suggestion they were imported for the fur to be ‘used for’ something.33．正确答案：(in)gardens解析：Distraction ‘nests’ are what the ants make, not their ‘habitat’(which is what this column is about).34．正确答案：earthworm / earth worm35．正确答案：soil(condition)解析：Distraction ‘natives’, ‘native species’ and ‘locals’ are all mentioned but the pests ‘displace’ these, they do not improve them.36．正确答案：North(-)west / north(-)west解析：Distraction ‘Scotland’ and ‘Iceland’ are mentioned, but they are names of countries so they cannot be the adjective in front of ‘Europe’.37．正确答案：plant pots解析：Distraction ‘ornamental shrubs’ are mentioned but the flatworms came in the earth in the pots, not the plants.。

Now before we commence our tour I’d just like to tell you a little bit about the history of the museum. As you can see, it’s a very modern building built in the post modern style and it was in fact opened by the Prime Minister of Australia in November 1991. It’s been designed with a nautical flavour in mind to remind us of our links with the sea. But the museum isn’t only housed in this building; there are a number of historic ships docked outside in the harbour which form part of the museum and which you are also free to visit, and we’ll be coming to them shortly. I’d just like to point out one or two things of general interest while we’re here. Handicapped toilets are located on this floor and the door shows a wheelchair. The cloakroom where you can hang your coat or leave your bags is just behind us here. The education centre is on the top floor and there’s a good little library in there whichyou might like to use. Follow the signs to the Education Centre—you’ll see a lot of little green arrows on the wall. The green arrows will take you there. The information desk, marked with the small letter i on your plan is located right here in the foyer, so if you get separated from your friends, I suggest you make your way back to the information desk because we’ll be returning to this spot at the end of the tour. All right? Now, if you look out this window you should be able to see where the museum’s ships are docked. If you want to go on a tour of the old ship, the Vampire, she’s docked over there and you should meet outside on the quay. However, a word of warning ! I don’t recommend it for the grandmas and grandpas because there are lots of stairs to climb. Right, now, let’s move on. Oh, I almost forgot to give you the times for that tour. Now, tours of the Vampire run on the hour, every hour. All right? Let’s take a walk round the museum now. The first room we’re coming to is the theatre. This room is used to screen videos of special interest and we also use it for lectures. There’s continuous video showing today about the voyages of Captain Cook, so come back here later on if you want to learn more about Captain Cook. Now, we’re moving along the gallery known as the Leisure Gallery. This is one of our permanent exhibitions and here we try to give you an idea of the many different ways in which Australians have enjoyed their time by the sea: surfing, swimming, lifesaving clubs, that’s all very much a part of Australian culture. At the end of this section we’ll come to the Picture Gallery where we’ve got a marvellous collection of paintings, all by Australian artists. I think you can buy reproductions of some of these paintings in the museum shop. Well worth a good look. Now we’re coming to the Members’Lounge. As a member of the museum you would be entitled to use the members’ lounge for refreshments. Membership costs $ 50 a year or $ 70 for all the family. So it’s quite good value because entry to the museum is then free. And down at the far end of this floor, you’ll find the section which we’ve called Passengers and the Sea . In this part of the museum we’ve gathered together a wonderful collection of souvenirs from the old days when people travelled by ship. You’ll find all sorts of things there: old suitcases, ships’ crockery, first class cabins decorated in the fashion of the day. Just imagine what it must have been like to travel first class. Now I’m going to leave you to walk round the museum on your own for a while and we’ll all meet back again at the information desk in three quarters of an hour’s time. I hope you enjoy your time with us at the museum today.

Is that correct?M: Yeah, OK, well…T: So what exactlyis revenue management?M: Well, it’s a way of managing your pricing by treating things like airline tickets and hotel rooms rather more as if they were perishable goods.S: Yeah, I just tried to book a ticket yesterday for Perth and would you believe there are three different prices for the flight?M: Right! And what was the rationale for that?S: Well…the travel agent said it depended on when you book and the length of the stay, like it’s cheap if you stay away for a Saturday night, presumably because this isn’t business travel, and even cheaper if you buy a ticket where you can’t get a refund if you have to cancel; in that case the ticket costs about half the price. You wouldn’t think it would make that much difference, would you?M: Well it does, and that’s basically because the airlines are now treating their seats like a commodity. You see—if you want a seat today, then you pay far more for it than if you want it in three weeks’ time.S: That seems rather unfair.M: Well. . .not really…when you think about it, that’s just common sense isn’t it?S: I suppose so.T: What this actually means is that in the same row of seats on the same flight you could have three people who have all paid a different price for their tickets.S: And is this just happening in Australia?M: No, no it’s the same all over the world. Airlines are able to ‘market’ a seat as a perishable product, with different values at different stages of its life.S: Well like mangoes or apples at the market.M: Yeah, it’s exactly like that. The fact is that the companies are not actually interested in selling you a cheap flight! They’re interested in selling the seats and flying aeroplanes that are full.T: Mark, why do you think revenue management has come about?M: Well, as far as I can see, there are two basic reasons: firstly because the law has been changed to allow the companies to do this. You see in the past they didn’t have the right to keep changing the prices of the tickets, and secondly we now have very powerful computer programs to do the calculations and so the prices can be changed at a moment’s notice. S: So you mean ten minutes could be critical when you’re buying a plane ticket? M: Absolutely! T: That’s right! M: And I understand we have almost reached the stage where these computer programs that the airlines are using will eventually be available to consumers to find the best deals for their travel plans from their home computer. S: Heavens! What a thought! So the travel agent could easily become a thing of the past if you could book your airline tickets from home. Are there any other industries using this system, or is it restricted to the airline business? M: Many of the big hotel groups are doing it now. That’s why the price of a bed in a hoted can also vary so much…depending on when and where you book it. T: It’s all a bit of a gamble really. M: Yes, and hire car companies are also using revenue management to set their tariffs, because they are also dealing with a ‘commodity’ if you like…so the cost of hiring a car will depend on demand. T: Well, thank you, Mark, for that overiew…that was well researched. Now let’s get on with your main topic for today…24．Mark is going to talk briefly about______A．marketing new products.B．pricing strategies.C．managing large companies.D．setting sales targets.正确答案：B25．According to Susan, air fares are lowest when they______A．include weekend travel.B．are booked well in advance.C．are non-refundable.D．are for business travel only.正确答案：C26．Mark thinks revenue management is______A．interesting.B．complicated.C．time-consuming.D．reasonable.正确答案：D27．The airline companies want to______A．increase profits.B．benefit the passenger.C．sell cheap seats.D．improve the service.正确答案：AComplete the notes using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Two reasons for the new approach to pricing are:【T28】______and 【T29】______In future people will be able to book airline tickets【T30】______.Also being marketed in this way are【T31】______ and 【T32】______28．【T28】正确答案：law has changed // law changes // changes in law29．【T29】正确答案：(powerful)computer programs30．【T30】正确答案：from home(computer)31．【T31】正确答案：hotels/hotel beds/rooms32．【T32】正确答案：hire cars听力原文：Marketing Consultant:Good morning. Welcome to this talk on Space Management. And today I’m going to look particularly at space management in the supermarket. Now since the time supermarkets began, marketing consultants, like us, have been gathering information about customers’s shopping habits. To date, various research methods have been used to help promote the sales of supermarket products. There is, for example, the simple and direct questionnaire which provides information from customers about their views on displays and products and then helps retailers make decisions about what to put where. Another method to help managers understand just how shoppers go around their stores are the hidden television cameras that film us as we shop and monitor our physical movement around the supermarket aisles: where do we start, what do we buy last, what attracts us, etc. More sophisticated techniques now include video surveillance and such devices as the eye movement recorder. This is a device which shoppers volunteer to wear taped into a headband, and which traces their eye movements as they walk round the shop recording the most eye-catching areas of shelves and aisles. But with today’s technology, Space Management is now a highly sophisticated method of manipulating the way we shop to ensure maximum profit. Supermarkets are able to invest millions of pounds in powerful computers which tell them what sells best and where. Now, an example of this is Spaceman which is a computer program that helps the retailer to decide which particular product sells best in which part of the store. Now Spaceman works by receiving information from the electronic checkouts(where customers pay)on how well a product is selling in a particular position. Spaceman then suggests the most profitable combination of an article and its position in the store. So, let’s have a look at what we know about supermarkets and the way people behave when they walk down the aisles and take the articles they think they need from the shelves. Now here’s a diagram of one supermarket aisle and two rows of shelves. Here’s the entrance at the top left-hand corner. Now products placed here, at the beginning of aisles, don’t sell well. In tests, secret fixed cameras have filmed shoppers’s movements around a store over a sevenday period. When the film is speeded up, it clearly shows that we walk straight past these areas on our way to the centre of an aisle. Items placed here just don’t attract people. When we finally stop at the centre of an aisle, we pause and take stock, casting our eyes along the length of it. Now products displayed here sell well and do even better if they are placed at eye level so that the customer’s eyes hit upon them instantly. Products here are snapped up and manufacturers pay a lot for these shelf areas which are known in the trade as hotspots. Naturally everyone wants their products to be in ahotspot. But the prime positions in the store are the ends of the aisles, otherwise known as Gondola ends.Now these stand out and grab our attention.For this reason many new products are launched in these positions and manufacturers are charged widely varying prices for this privileged spot. Also, the end of an aisle may be used for promoting special offers which are frequently found waiting for us as we turn the corner of an aisle. Well, now, eventually of course, we have to pay. Any spot where a supermarket can be sure we are going to stand still and concentrate for more than a few seconds is good for sales. That’s why the shelves at the checkout have long been a favourite for manufacturers of chocolates—perhaps the most sure-fire ‘impulse’ food of all.Complete the table.

The one I havechosen to tall to you about today is what I consider our best tour—it will take you from coast to mountain and back again. You’ll spend a memorable and very comfortable day traveling in air-conditioned luxury. You’ll see from our brochure that we have four pick-up stops along the coast and, about twenty minutes after we pick up our last passenger for the day, we’ll be stopping off briefly at a magnificent housing development, marina and shopping complex—you’ll be able to admire some of the most expensive and lavish houses on the coast—and here we’ll take a quick walk around the waterfront. Now, despite its name, Hope Island, we can reach it without getting our feet wet or taking a boat ride. Hope Island is connected to the mainland by bridges. From there we head inland to the beautiful Tambourine Mountain. You’ll have time to browse in the many specialty shops or you can sit and relax at a friendly outdoor café. We board the bus again and pass through an old timber-milling town on our way to O’Reilly’s Green Mountains. Once there, you might wish to venture across the famous tree top walk which is a bridge suspended in the canopy of a rain forest—definitely not for the faint-hearted! If you’re not up to the excitement of this walk, or perhaps after you’ve done it, why not enjoy lunch on the balcony of O’Reilly’s restaurant? Before we leave, you’ll have time for a stroll through the Botanical Gardens or perhaps you’d like to feed the beautiful parrots and other birds—we’ll supply the birdseed. From O’Reilly’s we travel to an alpaca farm for a demonstration and of course there’ll be a photo opportunity for you with these gorgeous animals before returning to the coach for the journey back to your original departure point.11．The coach is comfortable because it is ______.正确答案：air-conditioned12．After all passengers are aboard, the coach will make its first stop at ______ Island.正确答案：Hope13．The ‘Tree Top Walk’ is above a ______.正确答案：rain forest14．Passengers will have a ______ with the alpacas before boarding the bus for home.正确答案：photo opportunity听力原文：If I’ve persuaded any of you to sign up for this tour, take a look at our Dreamtime Tours brochure. You’ll see that you can book over the telephone or you can make reservations through the reception desk. We generally have a member ofstaff manning the desk from 7.30 am to 9 pm every day of the week. Don’t hesitate to ask reception staff any questions that you might have about this tour, or any other tour, and be sure to make it known if you have any special needs. We’ll do our best to make your trip rewarding and worthwhile. If this is the tour you want, be sure to specify Green Mountain Tour and note that these excursions are full day tours on three days of the week only: Sunday, Monday and Frida~although we’re hoping to have a Saturday tour available by next year. You’ll see that fares are extremely reasonable with each adult paying just 37 dollars. Now, that’s not bad for a trip of around 280 kilometers, is it? If you want to bring the family, obviously the family pass is great value at 94 dollars—that includes two adults and two children--but if you are an older adult, over 65, in other words, a senior citizen, your fare is discounted too—you’ll pay a bit less than the full adult rate. Please note the departure times—we adhere to these strictly—the coach will leave the southern most point of Coolangatta at ten to eight sharp, travel through Burleigh and on to Surfers Paradise, which is our most popular pick-up point, departing from there at half past eight in the morning. At a quarter to nine we make our last pick-up at Labrador. May I remind you to dress appropriately for the day—ladies, no high heels, please. Comfortable walking shoes are what is required and I always recommend that everyone takes a light jacket because the mountain air can be quite cool compared to the heat and humidity of the coastal regions. Oh, something else I should remind you of—the prices quoted in the brochure are just for coach travel, although we can arrange for a mini-bus to collect you from your accommodation and bring you to the departure point free of charge. If you want to avail yourself of this service, be sure to let the booking clerk know. You will need to bring along extra cash or a credit card to cover expenses such as optional side-trips, food and drink and, of course, entrance fees to the various attractions. Well, that’s all I have time to tell you—if you have further enquiries, please use the phone number on the brochure.15．正确答案：reception desk16．正确答案：Green Mountain17．正确答案：senior citizen18．正确答案：8.30am19．正确答案：coach travel20．正确答案：entrance fees听力原文：LIAISON: Come in and sit down, Lester...Sharon. I can see you’re keen to know more. To start with, I’d just like to say that we value volunteers highly and recognize their importance and assistance in the provision of quality education.LESTER: Thank you...we’re looking forward to helping out, but what exactly can we do?LIAISON: V olunteers can undertake a range of tasks...in general they enrich the English language programmed and complement the contributions of salaried staff members...SHARON: Yes, but...what would we do specifically?LIAISON: Oh, a variety of tasks, for instance, you can tutor individual students in reading...LESTER: I thought that might be the case...LIAISON: But...you can also help students edit their written responses.LESTER: Great...Is that also a one-on-one activity?LIAISON: Oh, yes, definitely; but volunteers are also called on to assist in designated classes...SHARON: And, what exactly would we do there?LIAISON: Well, it depends on the class of course, but usually you take on the role of an assistant.LESTER: A teacher’s assistant?LIAISON: Yes, that’s it.SHARON: Sounds like fun and good preparation for our own careers.LIAISON: Then, an enormous area of assistance is developing students’organizational skills.LESTER: Yes, I can imagine that’s why some of them are struggling in the first place.LIAISON: There’s also the special needs unit. They always need volunteers there.SHARON: But we have no training in special needs.LIAISON: That’s not necessary. These students just really appreciate having any extra attention—sometimes help with the simplest things...like holding a pen correctly.LESTER: Ah...well, that’s something all able-bodied students should learn. I’ve noticed some of the strangest pen grips amongst my peers and I’m sure they must end up with sore hand or shoulder muscles at the end of the day.LIAISON: Yes. I’m sure you’re right. The other task I’d like you two to help out with is encouraging and improving the students’ work ethic.SHARON: Oh, I can’t imagine that’ll be easy!LIAISON: No, but it is important, and I can give you some training in that field.LESTER: That’ll be good.LIAISON: I should also point out that you’ll be working alongside quality teachers at times who are not only caring role-models but excellent motivators.SHARON: Well, we should learn a lot from them.LIAISON: Yes, the teachers you’ll be assigned to are innovative and very responsive to the different needs of individual students.LESTER: If that’s true, they must be adept at a variety of teaching styles.LIAISON: Quite right. You know, part of my mission is to forge close partnerships between experienced teachers and trainees like yourselves. As far as I can see everyone has something to gain from the exchangeof information and skills--not just the students you’re helping.21．According to the liaison officer, what do volunteers help provide?正确答案：quality education22．What can volunteers help students check and correct?正确答案：written responses23．What aspect of students’ self-management can volunteers assist greatly with improving?正确答案：organisational skills24．What will volunteers try to develop in the students so that they exert themselves more?正确答案：work ethic25．What is it that teachers have that allows them to respond to individual student requirements?

The school you’re going to assist at is augmenting the number of vocational learning experiences offered within its subjects. Educational philosophy these days seems to recognize the importance of increasing practical components in the curriculum. Areas of development being pursued include building and construction, agriculture, business education and hospitality; but the marine studies course is already well developed.LESTER: Oh, now I see where we fit in.LIAISON: You’ll find that the school has an excellent library and audio visual collection. There are 3 computer laboratories and a special-needs network with 6 stations.LESTER: Ah...they are well equipped.LIAISON: Mum...wait till you see their Independent Learning Centre.LESTER: What’s so special about their ILC?LIAISON: They have the most sophisticated self-learning software I’ve ever seen in this region of the country.LESTER: Really?LIAISON: Ah huh.

Anxiety is something you’ve all experienced at some time in your life so you’ll know that it’s an emotional condition in which feelings of dread, fear and mental agitation predominate. However, what we call an anxiety state, or anxiety neurosis or phobic state—they all mean the same thing—is characterized by anxiety reactions far greater than those normally expected for the circumstances and these reactions may be severe and prolonged. This is the most common form of neurosis in westernized countries. Usually, normal anxietydecreases with repeated exposure to the feared situation whereas a neurotic anxiety tends to increase. Gradually the person is inclined to avoid the feared situation and views it with increasing dread. Sometimes there may be an inherited tendency for this, but usually environmental issues are more important. The individual may have been a worrier throughout life and a stressful condition, just before symptoms set in, is common. Often there is a gradual build-up of anxiety, possibly for weeks or months, before the ultimate break occurs. The precipitating cause is usually one of great significance to the patient, often related to personal events—such as bereavement, a break-up, threats to career, health or personal integrity. What are the symptoms of phobia? Well, phobic states often develop into severe, crippling challenges that can be very difficult to overcome. The person develops a fear of certain situations. It’s not uncommon to have one or more of these present at the same time. I’m going to name some frequent phobias and give you a description of their symptoms: Let’s start with Agoraphobia which is when the person has an intense anxiety about venturing outside the safety of the normal home surroundings. It may be impossible for this person to ever go out alone. Their fear of public or open spaces is completely irrational and they often end up leading very secluded lives. Claustrophobia, on the other hand, is a morbid fear of closed-in areas or places—if you see me taking the stairs instead of the lift, think about it—am I trying to get more exercise or am I trying to avoid the confined interior of the lift? And I’m sure you all know people who are afraid of flying—sometimes it’s the fear of being enclosed in the aero plane itself—and you can imagine how the cramped confines of airline toilets are really bad news for these sufferers. Now, I’ll move on to discuss Social phobia which, believe it or not, is more common in men. It’s an acute anxiety that develops when they are in the presence of others. They feel self-conscious, apprehensive and embarrassed. If attention (real or imagined) is focused on the sufferer, he becomes uneasy and may blush, stammer or stutter. Some sufferers even develop tremors—shaking or trembling movements of a part (or parts) of the body—or, another very common sign of their extreme discomfort is that they perspire profusely on their palms, under their arms or on their feet. That brings me to the last one that I want to mention today and that is Single phobia—and no, it’s not a fear of lifelong bachelorhood! This one is actually precipitated by an acute aversion to dogs, cats, spiders—you may have heard of the term, arachnophobia? Well it applies specifically to spiders—but any single thing can basically cause a strong aversion: snakes, frogs, mice or rats, for instance. I can assure you, the list is unlimited. You name it, and someone is sure to have a phobia about it. Some people are terrified of the dark, for example, and I’m not talking about young children here. You’d be surprised how many adults are afflicted in this way. Well, I see our time is up.

I’d like to get a discount card for visiting museums in the area.Woman: Certainly. They cost $10 and are valid for one year.Student: I heard there’s a discount for students.Woman: Yes, there is. If you have a valid student ID card, they cost $5.Student: There you are.Woman: Thank you. I’ll just make a note of your name. Drazan Horvatic. And you’re studying at Newtown University. What course are you studying?Student: Physics. Q1Woman: Can I take a note of your address here in Newtown, please?Student: Of course. It’s 43a Webster Street. Q2Woman: W E B S T E R. Do you know the postcode?Student: NT9 3EC Q3Woman: Thank you. And your date of birth? Oh, wait a minute—it’s here on your student ID card. 30th June 1984. What nationality Q4 are you?Student: I’m from Croatia.Woman: Oh, really?A friend of mine went there on holiday last year. Q5 She said that the coast was beautiful. Q6Student: Yes, it is. The tourist industry is developing very quickly in my country. It brings in a lot of much-needed foreign currency. The only problem is that property prices are rising fast too, since many foreigners are buying holiday homes there.Woman: Yes. I can see that would be a problem for the local people. Oh, I forgot to ask—do you want this card just for your own use or do you want another person to be able to use it too?Student: I’m not sure I understand.Woman: Well, you can give us the name of another person and then that person can use the discount card too. However, that person has to be a relative. Q7Student: Oh, I see! Is there an additional charge for that?Woman: Not at the moment. It’s a special offer.Student: Well, my sister is going to visit later this year and she likes going to museums, so ...Woman: OK. Let’s put her name down. Just remember that whoever uses the card has to show some form of identification when they use it. You can use your student card and your sister could use her passport or something.Student: OK.Woman: I just need your sister’s name and date of birth. I’ll put her address down as the same as yours.Student: Right. Her name is Nada and her date of birth is 29th February Q8 1988. Woman: Really? How unusual!Student: Yes, she’s kind of special. Oh, by the way, do you have a list of places where I can use this card?Woman: Yes, here you are. You can see that it can be used at a total of 18 local attractions and also at 6 museums in London, so be Q9 sure to take it with you if you go there on a visit. As you can see, the discounts for local attractions vary from 30% to 50%. The discounts for the places in London are only 10%. Q10Student: OK. Thank you very much.Woman: Right. Just give me a few minutes to make your card.1．SECTION 1 Questions 1-10Questions 1-4Complete the following information.正确答案：physics2．正确答案：43a Webster Street3．正确答案：NT9 3EC4．正确答案：30th June 1984Questions 5-10Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.5．When did the woman’s friend visit Croatia?正确答案：last year6．What did she like there?正确答案：(the beautiful) coast7．Which other person can use the card without charge?正确答案：(a) relative8．When was Nada born?正确答案：29th February 19889．How many local places accept the card?正确答案：1810．How much is the discount at attractions in London?正确答案：10%听力原文：Interviewer: Good morning. Today, I’m going to be asking some questions to our guest, Michael Todd, an astronaut.Michael: Good morning.Interviewer: How long have you been an astronaut and how many missionshave you flown?Michael: I’ve been an astronaut since 2002 and I’ve flown on 3 missions. The last one was in January and lasted for 9 days. Q11Interviewer: What do you need to do to become an astronaut?Michael: Well, you know I asked that very same question when I was a kid and I actually went to an astronaut and asked that question and I got an answer that I think was a very good one, which is basically stay in school. You study hard. You study mathematics Q12 or science so much that you really become a real expert in that field and then you are valuable as someone who has a real talent that can be used in a space program.Interviewer: How much training do you have to go through?Michael: Every two years or so there’s class of astronaut candidates that come down to the Johnson Space Center. You go through about one year of basic training courses. It’s actually a pretty Q13 exciting year, because it is an opportunity to learn all that you can imagine about the space shuttle. You study every single switch. You study what it does and what it means to flip that switch, when are the right times to push it and when are the wrong times to push it. After that, we get an assignment to fly in space, and we spend another year just studying about that particular space flight.Interviewer: There’s been a lot of talk about sending people to Mars. What are the challenges of a manned mission to Mars?Michael: The first challenge is constructing a spacecraft to get there. The trip to Mars could take as long as a year. When you are in space that long, your muscles get kind of weak because you Q14 haven’t been using them to walk around. You also need to find ways to pack enough food, water and air. Those kind of challenges are the sort of things that we are going to be studying at the International Space Station in the near future to develop Q15 the things that we need to have in order to safely send people to Mars and to bring them back.Interviewer: How does it feel to wear a spacesuit?Michael: I did my first space walk on my third flight. We were outside for 6 hours, a little over 6 hours. The spacesuit is very big and very awkward and in fact because you are outside where there is no air and your spacesuit is providing you air, your spacesuit is pressurised. So it makes you sort of feel like a balloon. Your Q16 arms end up way out to your side if you don’t do anything about it. So you have to use some force to pull your arms in. When you try to work with the gloves that we have, in order to Q17 keep your hands warm and safe from outside, the gloves have to be thick—which means that there is no way that you could, say, button your shirt, put on a belt, or come close to putting on a wrist watch without dropping them. So they are big and awkward to work in and we have to use special tools to make it possible to get the job done. You can imagine that it can be difficult to do and we train for a long time to get good at working inside that suit. The suit is an incredible piece of equipment. It keeps us safe at temperatures from minus 200 degrees to plus 200 degrees. It keeps you safe from a place where there is no air and where there is the possibility of small particles Q18 hitting you at very high speed like little bullets. Yet, it gives you a good view outside and canprovide life support for over 6 hours.Interviewer: What’s the most fun part of being in space?Michael: That’s an easy one. The best part for me was looking back at the Earth. The colours of the Earth don’t quite come across in a photograph. The depth of the colours are like gem stones. There are ruby reds, and emerald greens, and sapphire blues. The atmosphere is just a thin blue line. It cuts across the very top of the planet, and in that line you can see all different shades of blue, layers that go from midnight blue to turquoise blue to almost white, it’s such a light blue. The clouds are soQ19 white that it is hard to look at them. They’re so bright that you have to wear sunglasses to look at them or your eyes will just close all on their own. Sunrises and sunsets are particularly spectacular, because if you remember we are going around the earth every 90 minutes, which means we see a sunrise and 45 Q20 minutes later we see a sunset and 45 minutes later we see another sunrise.Interviewer: Now, our next question comes from one of our listeners ...SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11-15Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each.11．When was Michael’s last space mission?正确答案：(in) January12．What should you study if you want to be an astronaut?’正确答案：mathematics/maths (or) science13．How long does basic training last?正确答案：one/1 year14．Which parts of the body weaken after a long time in space?正确答案：(your/the) muscles15．Where are the problems of getting to Mars going to be studied?正确答案：International Space StationQuestions 16-20Complete the following statements using NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each gap.16．Pressurised space suits make astronauts feel like a ______.正确答案：balloon17．The ______ are big and awkward to work with.正确答案：gloves18．While on a space walk, there is a danger of being hit by ______.正确答案：small particles19．______ are too bright to look at with the naked eye.正确答案：Clouds20．An orbit of the Earth takes ______.正确答案：90/ninety minutes听力原文：Jeff (male): Hi Aref! Hi Marta!Matra (female): Hi Jeff2.Aref (male): Hi Jeff! Thanks for agreeing to help us with this university application form.Jeff: No problem. It’s the UCAS form, is it? Well, I brought mine along as well as an example. Let’s have a look at the first page. ... Ah, here, you need to write in your addresses in your home countries.Marta: Here? Where it says “home address”?Jeff: That’s right.Marta: But we don’t want them to send things to that address.Jeff: They won’t. See. It says they will send things to your residential Q21 address, which is in the UK. Marta: Oh, I see!Aref: And here we need to write the name of our school, don’t we?Jeff: Yes, and any other secondary schools you’ve attended. Don’t forget to write “FT”in the box there on the right.Aref: “FT”means “full-time”, I suppose? Q22Jeff: Yes, it does. Put the most recent school you’ve attended at the top.Malta: Here it says we should enter our ethnic origin, but only if we are UK applicants.Jeff: Well, you are living in the UK. Put it in anyway. It won’t matter. They only use it for statistical purposes. Q23Aref: Should we put the subjects we’ve taken for A-level in this area—7A?Jeff: No. That’s for exams you’ve already taken and got the results for. Here, underneath, in part 7B, you can see the space forQ24 exams that you’ve taken but don’t have the results for, or are going to take. Malta: And do we need to write the name of our school there too? That’s where we will take the exams.Jeff: That’s right. Don’t forget to put the address too.Aref: Do you know the postcode for our school, Jeff?.Jeff: Yes, it’s PL3 6LY. Now, how about page 3? Q25Marta: I did some part-time work. Should I put that in the employment section?Jeff: Yes. I did some part-time work too. Write “PT”in the final box—for “part-time”.Marta: OK. And for “nature of work”I’ll put “shop assistant”. Q26Jeff: OK. Now we’ve come to part 10—Personal Statement. Did you write out a rough draft for me to look at, as I suggested? Q27Marta: Yes, here’s mine.Aref: And here’s mine.Jeff: OK. Let me just have a quick look .... I’ll just correct the grammatical mistakes. There aren’t many .... Be careful with your spelling, Marta .... Aref, I wouldn’t include this sentence about wanting your parents to be proud of you. A personal statement should be more practical, rather than an emotional Q28 appeal.Aref: I see. It’s a bit different in my culture. OK, I’lltake your advice.Jeff: I think that you both need to say why you’re interested in those particular courses at those particular universities.Marta: Well, I like some of the elective courses on offer in years two Q29 and three. That’s how I chose those particular universities. How about you, Aref?Aref: Well, I considered that, but many of the law courses at university are very similar, so I also considered the geographical location of the universities.Jeff: OK. Add those reasons. Have you both signed at the bottom of page 3? ... Yes, oh, Marta, you forgot to add the date. Now, on page four, you need to have a teacher write a reference for you.Aref: I’m going to ask Mr Martin, since he’s my form teacher.Marta: I’m going to ask Mrs Robinson, because she’s my art teacher.Jeff: Good. It’s best to have your form teacher to do it or ask the teacher who teaches the subject you want to study. They are most likely to have an idea of your abilities. Q30Aref: Should I leave it to the teacher to fill in the details about the school at the top of the reference page?Jeff: Yes. Some of that information isn’t known to us students anyway.Marta: Well, thanks for your help, Jeff. Are you going to ...SECTION 3 Questions 21-30Questions 21-25Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each.21．In which section should the students write their UK address?正确答案：residential address22．What does “FT” stand for?正确答案：full-time23．Why does the form ask for applicants’ ethnic origin?正确答案：(for) statistical purposes24．Which is the section for exams that applicants haven’t taken yet?正确答案：(part/section) 7B25．What is the school’s postcode?正确答案：PL3 6LYQuestions 26-30Complete the following statements using NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each gap.26．Marta worked part-time as a ______.正确答案：shop assistant27．Jeff recommended that Marta and Aref prepare a ______ of their personalstatements.正确答案：rough draft28．Jeff suggests that a personal statement be ______ than emotional.正确答案：more practical29．Marta chose her courses on the basis of the ______ offered.正确答案：elective courses/electives30．Jeff says that form teachers and subject teachers know more about students’______.正确答案：abilities听力原文：Lecturer: Welcome to this lecture on making houses greener. Let’s getright into things and look at insulation first of all. Around 40% of the heatthat is lost from a home is lost through walls and the roof. The rest is lostthrough the floor and openings. This figure can be significantly reducedthrough the installation of simple loft insulation, which will cost between￡130-200 to install and save around ￡150 a year in energy bills. Cavity wall Q31insulation costs from around ￡135 to install and can save around ￡100 a year. Q32Windows can be insulated by installing double glazing to reduce heat lossthrough windows, although wooden frames are more preferential from an environmental perspective than PVC. Now, lighting accounts for some 15% of an electricity bill. As eachenergy-saving light bulb saves some ￡7 a year, the benefits are potentially Q33significant. On an even simpler level, ensuring that the new appliances youinstall are approved by the Environmental Standards Authority means that,for example, on a fridge, you can reduce its energy consumption by twothirds—saving you ￡35 a year. In particularly dark areas of the upper storeysof homes, a light-pipe might be an effective alternative to constant artificiallighting—light is captured from the roof and channelled down a mirroredtube. They cost between ￡200-700, depending on size and distance from Q34roof. As regards heating water, a high-efficiency condensing boiler—particularly one that uses weather compensation control—will save you around￡180 a year, while simply adding a jacket and lagging to the hot water cylinderQ35and pipes will cover its outlay in a year. Now, let’s look at energy generation. People are becoming increasinglyinterested in generating electricity at home. PV cells are perhaps the bestknown form of renewable energy and operate by turning solar radiation intoelectricity. The average UK home could generate around half of its own electricity through this method, providing it is used efficiently and the home has Q36a large south-facing roof. The greater the intensity of the sunlight, the greaterthe amount of electricity produced. Payback times on PV systems vary butare usuallyconsidered to be at least 10 years. Straightforward solar panels,which simply use the sun to heat water, tend to offer a much shorter paybackperiod. Using the wind to produce energy is becoming a viable option for individual dwellings. The Swift Rooftop Wind Energy System is just 1.6m in Q37diameter and costs around ￡1,300—it generates around 1.5kWh of energyevery time it turns. An alternative is the Windsave, which operates from theground and requires a pole, but the manufacturers claim the ￡1000 systemcan save a third of your annual electricity costs, giving a payback time ofaround five years. Ground source heat pumps are also becoming a realistic alternative.The temperature at around 5-10 metres underneath the ground surface is ata constant level of around 10℃. This heat can be extracted using the sametechnology as is used in domestic fridges to provide up to four units of energy Q38for every one unit of electricity used to power the system. Installationcosts are between ￡8,000-12,000. Most experts give the payback time ataround ten years. It might be worth installing air circulation systems if the house is undergoing extensive structural renovation. The key to such systems is a heatexchanger, usually installed in the roof. This unit draws air from the moistareas of the house—the kitchen and bathrooms—and expels it through theheat exchanger. At the same time cold air from the outside is drawn in andwarmed by the heat in the outgoing moist air. This Warm air is then transferred to the bedrooms and living areas. The best heat exchange units claimQ39to be able to recover about 90% of the heat that would otherwise be deposited outside. Installing all the ducting necessary to make systems like thiswork can be tricky and messy when the job is a retrofit. However, when thistakes place in a house that is having a total refurbishment, it is unlikely tocause more disturbance than there is already. Now, let’s turn to reducing water consumption. Although water billsare still relatively cheap in the UK, last winter’s drought and this summer’simminent water shortages have brought the focus back on to the way domestic properties use water. All new builds are now required to install a watermeter rather than pay a flat rate charge—and renovators interested in cuttingtheir consumption would do well to follow this measure, as well as installing low-flush WCs and simple showers, rather than power showers—which Q40use around 20 litres of water a minute. Even when compared to a bath, whichuses around 100 litres in total, power showers are very high in usage andthose interested in conserving water should consider avoiding them. Fittingflow restrictors might be an alternative.For those contemplating a more significant renovation scheme, the installation of a rainwater harvesting system should be considered, as it can potentially reduce a household’s water consumption by around half. Rainwater harvesting systems, which cost around ￡3-3,500 installed, recycle rainwater and use it to flush toilets, water gardens and for the washing machine.31．SECTION 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-35Complete the information in the table.正确答案：￡15032．正确答案：￡13533．正确答案：light bulb34．正确答案：￡200-70035．正确答案：￡180Questions 36-40Decide which statement is true in each case and write the corresponding letter on your answer sheet.36．PV cellsA．could generate half the UK’s energy requirements.B．work better on a south-facing roof in the UK.C．pay for themselves faster than solar panels.正确答案：B37．WindsaveA．generates more electricity than the Swift Rooftop Wind Energy System.B．is cheaper than the Swift Rooftop Wind Energy System.C．pays for itself sooner than the Swift Rooftop Wind Energy System.正确答案：B38．Ground-source heat pumpsA．are not yet available for domestic use.B．produce four times more energy than they use.C．can save over ￡8000 a year.正确答案：B39．Heat exchangersA．recover up to 90% of heat that would otherwise be lost.B．recover over 90% of heat that would otherwise be lost.C．are difficult to use.正确答案：A40．A typical ______ uses 20 litres of water a minute.

I wanted to find out about cookery classes. I believe there are some one-day classes for tourists? OFFICIAL: Well, they’re open to everyone, but tourists are always welcome. OK, let me give you some details of what’s available. There are several classes. One very popular one is at the Food Studio. ExampleWOMAN: OK.OFFICIAL: They focus on seasonal products, and as well as teaching you how to cook them, they also show you how to choose them. Q1WOMAN: Right, that sounds good. How big are the classes?OFFICIAL: I’m not sure exactly, but they’ll be quite small.WOMAN: And could I get a private lesson there? Q2OFFICIAL: I think so ... let me check, yes, they do offer those. Though in fact most of the people who attend the classes find it’s a nice way of getting to know one another. WOMAN: I suppose it must be, yes.OFFICIAL: And this company has a special deal for clients where they offer a discount of 20 percent if you return for a further class. Q3WOMAN: OK. But you said there were several classes?OFFICIAL: That’s right. Another one you might be interested in is Bond’s Cookery School. They’re quite new, they just opened six months ago, but I’ve heard good things about them. They concentrate on teaching you to prepare healthy food, and Q4 they have quite a lot of specialist staff. WOMAN: So is that food for people on a diet and things like that? I don’t know if I’d be interested in that. OFFICIAL: Well, I don’t think they particularly focus on low calorie diets or weight loss. It’s more to do with recipes that look at specific needs, like including ingredients that will help build up your bones and make them stronger, that sort of thing. Q5 WOMAN: I see. Well, I might be interested, I’m not sure. Do they have a website I could check? OFFICIAL: Yes, just key in the name of the school - it’ll come up. And if you want to know more about them, every Thursday evening they have a lecture at the school. Q6 It’s free and you don’t need to book or anything, just turn up at 7.30. And that might give you an idea of whether you want to go to an actual class.OFFICIAL: OK, there’s one more place you might be interested in. That’s got a rather strange name, it’s called The Arretsa Centre - that’s spelled A-R-R-E-T-S-A. Q7 WOMAN: OK.OFFICIAL: They’ve got a very good reputation. They do a bit of meat and fish cookery but they mostly specialise in vegetarian dishes. Q8WOMAN: Right. That’s certainly an area I’d like to learn more about. I’ve got lots of friends who don’t eat meat. In fact, I think I might have seen that school today. Is it just by the market? Q9OFFICIAL: That’s right. So they don’t have any problem getting their ingredients. They’re right next door. And they also offer a special two-hour course in how to use a knife.

Now you have some time to look at Questions 11-16. Now listen, and answer Questions 11-16.Presenter: Welcome to Camber’s Park podcast. In the next few minutes, I’ll tell you a little about the park and the amazing things we have to offer.We like to think that Camber’s offers more than other theme parks. Like them, we have a variety of exciting rides for people of all ages, but Camber’s also places strong emphasis on the educational experience for its visitors... not boring facts but lots of interactive exhibits. Although it’s mainly an outdoor experience, we do have some indoor activities if the weather gets too dreadful.The park’s got a lovely well established feel, set in eighty acres of beautiful countryside about three miles south of the tourist resort of Dulchester. The park was set up in nineteen ninety seven by the Camber family but then taken over by new owners in two thousand and four, who have maintained the original vision of the Cambers. It has lots of old trees, hundreds of flower beds and a gorgeous lake.Camber’s has over forty- five different rides, exhibits and arcades. All but one of these is free once you have paid your entrance fee(we charge a small fee for our newest ride, to reduce the length of the queues). You don’t pay anything forparking. A family ticket—for a family of four—works out at about eight pounds per person, which is amazing value. Full details of current prices are shownon our website, along with full details of rides, etc., and directions for getting to us.We also have a number of special offers. For example, if you live locally, why not join our Adventurers’Club, which entitles you fifty percent off ticket prices all year round, and a special ‘lane’ for all rides and exhibits which means you don’t have to wait to get into any part of the park. See the Offers tab on the website.We’ve recently added a number of new exhibits to the park, and we’re particularly proud of our Future Farm Zone, which houses over twenty different species of animals, from chipmunks to dairy cows. The emphasis is on getting near to the animals—all of them can be petted and you can buy food for feeding the animals. Many of our younger visitors say that this is the high point of their visit!And speaking of food, don’t let the animals have all the fun. We have a total of seven different catering outlets on the site. We’re open ten to five thirty all year round and cold drinks and snacks can be bought at any time during opening hours. And hot food is available most of the day in the Hungry Horse cafe—from eleven until five—just half an hour before closing time.Narrator: Now you have some time to look at Questions 17-20. Now listen and answer Questions 17-20.Presenter: Now we want all our visitors to have an exciting time when they come to the park but our first priority must be safety. Parents and guardians know their children’s behaviour and capabilities. But here at the park we have set certain conditions for each of the rides to ensure that all visitors get the maximum enjoyment out of the experience and feel secure at all times. There are four major rides at the park. Our newest ride is the River Adventure which is designed to reproduce the experience of white-water rafting. No amount of protective clothing would make any difference so only go on this ride if you’re prepared to get wet! Children under eight can go on this ride, but all under sixteens must have an adult with them.Not all of our rides are designed for thrills and spills. Our Jungle Jim rollercoaster is a gentler version of the classic loop the loop, specially created for whole family enjoyment—from the smallest children to elderly grandparents, suitable for all levels of disability and health conditions. Carriages have comfortable seating for up to eight people, with safety belts for each passenger which must be worn at all times. Sit back and enjoy the scenery!One of the best established and most popular of Camber’s rides is the massive Swoop Slide. Whizz down the polished vertical slide nine metres in height and scream to your heart’s content. There are no age or height restrictions. Be careful though—you must have on long trousers so you won’t get any speed burns!And then there’s the famous Zip Go-kart stadium with sixteen carts: eight for single drivers and eight for kids preferring to ride along with mum, dad or carer. Take part in high-speed races in our specially designed Formula One-style karts—but no bumping other karts, please. All riders must be above one point two metres because they have to be able to reach the pedals... even in the shared karts.Full details of all safety features are available on our website at .So come and make a day of it at Camber’s Theme Park!Choose the correct answer, A, B or C.Camber’s Theme Park11．According to the speaker, in what way is Camber’s different from other theme parks?A．It’s suitable for different age groups.B．It offers lots to do in wet weather.C．It has a focus on education.正确答案：C12．The Park first opened inA．1980.B．1997.C．2004.正确答案：B13．What’s included in the entrance fee?A．most rides and parkingB．all rides and some exhibitsC．parking and all rides正确答案：A14．Becoming a member of the Adventurers Club meansA．you can avoid queuing so much.B．you can enter the park free for a year.C．you can visit certain zones closed to other people.正确答案：A15．The Future Farm zone encourages visitors toA．buy animals as pets.B．learn about the care of animals.C．get close to the animals.正确答案：C16．When is hot food available in the park?A．10:00 am-5:30 pmB．11:00 am-5:00 pmC．10:30 am-5:00 pm正确答案：BWhat special conditions apply to the following rides?Choose FOUR answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-F, next to the questions 17-20.Special conditions for visitorsA Must be over a certain ageB Must use special safety equipmentC Must avoid it if they have health problemsD Must wear a particular type of clothingE Must be over a certain heightF Must be accompanied by an adult if under 16Rides17．River Adventure______正确答案：F18．Jungle Jim Rollercoaster______正确答案：B19．Swoop Slide______正确答案：D20．Zip Go-carts______正确答案：E听力原文：Narrator: You will hear two business studies students discussing a presentation they’ll do on an article on working effectively in groups. First you have some time to look at Questions 21-26. Now listen, and answer Questions 21-26.Helen: So, Brad, what did you think of the article on group work?Brad: Oh hi, Helen ... yeah it was pretty good ... with helpful pieces of advice on how to make group work effective.Helen: I think we were lucky to be given such a straightforward text to present at the management skills seminar.Brad: Yeah ... actually shall we discuss it now ... have you got time?Helen: Sure ... it’s only a ten-minute presentation, so we just need to explain and then give our views on the main points raised in the article.Brad: I’ll jot down some notes ... Right.Helen: So, there are three main sections.I suggest we start with listening.Brad: Yeah ... effective listening in groups... because it’s not something that’s frequently covered on courses in our field ...Helen: No ... and we should say that in the presentation.Brad: Yeah ... And also effective listening’s pretty simple, you know, I don’t think it’s hard to learn.Helen: Well ... people think it’s easy, but in my experience most of us tend to be very lazy listeners.Brad: OK—I wouldn’t argue with that.Helen: Something I do think we should emphasise is the power of the listener’s posture, gestures, etc. in making speakers feel respected.Brad:... not that you’re just waiting for them to finish... before jumping in with your own ideas ...Helen: Ah ha.Brad: OK. Right... the next section is on goal setting—let’s make sure we’re clear what the article says on this.Helen: Yeah—well, firstly it savsthat all group members must be given time to explain their own goals.Brad: ... that’s it, yeah.Helen: ... and then did it say that the whole group should agree on common goals?Brad: That’s a bit too strong. It’s more that everyone’s agendas should be equally acceptable ... but it does say that goals have to be realistic, you know ...Helen: ... achievable within a particular time?Brad: You’ve got it. That’s really what the article’s saying. There isn’t really any point in having ‘ideals’ if group members know they won’t come to anything within a reasonable period ... So (I)think a summary covering those points will be enough for that part of the presentation, don’t you?Helen: Yep ... Now the last section is about conflict resolution.Brad: Actually, I thought it was the worst part of the article.Helen: Me too ...Brad: I don’t think it went into sufficient detail on the issue.Helen: Actually I thought it devoted too much space to it but that it was all rather boring, you know ...Brad: It didn’t mention some of the more radical theoriesHelen: Absolutely ...I found that really irritating. Brad: Right... and also I think it could have said more about conflict sometimes being healthy in groups... Helen: Absolutely ... it just mentioned rather glibly about how we should avoid thinking of winners and losers and that quick resolution of conflict is always desirable. Brad: Without explaining what these terms mean ... ? Helen: Well, it gives quite detailed definitions but doesn’t develop a proper argument.Brad: Right... So for the presentation, I think we just give some definitions and ...Helen: ... and then explain what we felt were the weaknesses in the article’s treatment of conflict resolution. Brad: Yeah ... good.Narrator: Now you have some time to look at Questions 27-30. Now listen and answer Questions 27-30.Brad: So, let’s think about what we have to prepare for the actual presentation.Helen: Well, I suppose we’ll use PowerPoint ... but I’m hopeless at using it, especially if it has any visuals. I really have to look into doing a course on it because I know I’ll need it in the future.Brad: Don’t worry, I’m quite happy using PowerPoint and I’ll put it together when everything else is ready.Helen: That’s a relief... but, yes, do that later.Brad: OK. Now, I heard the tutor saying we have to include some well chosen quotations from the article?Helen: I’m not sure if we do ... I’ll email him to find out.Brad: No need, I can just have a look at the specs he gave us when he set the task ...Helen: That’ll be quicker.Brad: But the tutor definitely said we have to prepare a handout to go with the talk ... I’m not really sure how we do that.Helen: Sarah did one last year...Brad: Who’s she?Helen: She’s doing the same option as me on marketing. I’ll ask her advice on what to include.Brad: Great. So that just leaves the bibliography at the end. I suppose it’ll mainly be articles.Helen: Yeah. So we’ll just look on the web ... and we can leave that till later.Brad: But we’ve been advised against that...Helen: Well, we could have a look through some journals in the library.Brad: I think we should start by looking through module handbooks. I think that’ll give us some good leads.Helen: Yeah ... you’re probably right. So, that’s all the ...Choose TWO letters, A-E.What TWO things do Brad and Helen agree to say about listening in groups? A Listening skills are often overlooked in business training.B Learning to listen well is a skill that’s easy for most people to learn.C It’s sometimes acceptable to argue against speakers.D Body language is very important when listening.E Listeners should avoid interrupting speakers.21．A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：A22．A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：DChoose TWO letters, A-E.What TWO things does the article say about goal-setting?

Before you listen, you have some time to look at Questions 31-40. Now listen, and answer Questions 31-40.Lecturer: Good afternoon. This is the first of a series of lectures I’ll be giving about engineering for sustainable development. I’ll be presenting examples of engineering projects from a variety of contexts, and today I’m going to talk about a project to design a new kind of greenhouse for use in the Himalayan mountain regions.First of all, I’ll tell you about the problem which was the context for this project. In the Himalayan mountains, fresh vegetables and other crops can only be grown outside for about ninety days, during the summer, because the altitude of the region is around three thousand five hundred metres, and because the rainfall is so low. In winter, temperatures fall below minus twenty-five degrees celcius, so fresh vegetables have to be imported. They arrive by truck in summer or by air in winter, which makes them expensive. Local people rely on dried leafy vegetables and stored root crops during the winter, and rarely eat fresh vegetables.But despite the sub-zero temperatures, the skies over the region are cloudless, and there are over three hundred sunny days per year. So an engineering solution was needed, to exploit the sun’s energy and protect locally produced plants from freezing during winter. And in fact, there had been programmes in the past to provide greenhouses, but these were unsuccessful. The greenhouses weren’t adapted for local conditions, so they tended to fall into disuse.So, a few years ago, a project was initiated to design a better greenhouse, one which would meet thecriteria for sustainability.Lecturer: So, what are the criteria for sustainability? Well, first of all, the new greenhouse is designed to be relatively simple, so construction is cheap. Locally available materials are used wherever possible. The walls are generally constructed of mud bricks, made locally, although in areas of high snow-fall more resilient walls of stone are needed. Rammed earth is also used. The main roof is generally made from locally available poplar wood, with water-resistant local grass for the covering. In addition, the construction and maintenance of the greenhouse is done by local craftsmen. So local stone masons are employed to build the greenhouse walls, and specialised training is provided for them wherever necessary. Then... the greenhouse is designed to run on solar power alone, there’s no supplementary heating. And lastly, families are selected to own one of the new greenhouses with great care. They have to have a site which is suitable for constructing it on. They also have to be keen to make a success of using it, and also to share the produce with the wider community through sale or barter. Potential owners are taken to see existing greenhouses before they make a final decision about having one.So, those are the features which make the project sustainable. And now I’ll briefly describe the design of the greenhouse. The greenhouses are orientated very carefully along an East-West axis, so that there’s a long South-facing side. The transparent cover on the South-facing side is made from a heavy-duty polythene, which should last for at least five years. On the inside of the greenhouse, the walls are painted—the rear and west-facing walls are black, to improve heat absorption, but the east-facing wall is white to reflect the morning sunlight onto the crops inside. Finally, there’s a door in the wall at one end, and vents are incorporated into the roof, the door and the wall at the other end, to enable control of humidity and prevent overheating.I’ll turn now to the benefits which have resulted from the introduction of these new greenhouses. These benefits are of various kinds, but for now I’ll just mention the social benefits.First of all, people who own a greenhouse gain social standing in their communities, because they provide vegetables for the wider community, for regular consumption as well as for festivals, and they also earn income. Secondly, because in rural areas it is women who usually grow the food, the greenhouses have increased their opportunities. They bring the benefits of improved nutrition, and increased family income, from the sale of surplus produce. And thirdly, as a result of their improved financial position, some families can now afford to educate their children for the first time.Complete the notes below.Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer.

Plainfield Community Centre.W: Yes, hi. I’m new in town, and I was curious about the services the Community Centre has to offer.M: We offer a variety of recreational activities. What were you interested in, in particular?W: Well, everything, I guess. OK, let’s start with kids. I have a teenage son. What activities do you have for teens?M: Right now, during the school year, we have tutoring sessions for children and teens, in all subjects.W: That would be good. He needs help with algebra.M: We can certainly help with that. Just have him come by any Wednesday or Saturday afternoon. That’s when the tutoring sessions are scheduled.W: Fantastic. What about sports? Do you have sports activities for teens?M: We have tennis lessons on Sunday mornings for teens and Sunday afternoons for adults.W: Hmmm, I don’t think my son would like that, but my husband might. For myself, I’d be more interested in yoga. Do you offer yoga classes?M: We do. Our yoga classes take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. We divide it up into several groups, so there’s one class for younger children, one for teens, and one for adults.W: Really? I doubt my husband and son would be interested, but I’d like to sign up for yoga. I also like reading. Do you have any book clubs?M: We have one just about to start. The first meeting will be next Friday morning. It will focus on early twentieth-century novels.W: Too bad it’s Friday morning. I think my son would enjoy it, but of course he’s in school at that time.M: Well, actually, that book club is for adults only. We may start one up for teens next summer, but we have nothing for that age group right now.W: Oh, well. I suppose he has enough to keep him busy for now. Now, what about fees? Do these classes and activities cost anything?Now listen and answer Questions 7 to 10.M: There’s a small charge for non-members for each class. However, they’re all free to members. Would you be interested in becoming a member?W: How much does the membership cost?M: Not much at all. The yearly fee is $73 for individuals and $225 for families.W: What do I get with the membership?M: You get free access to all classes and activities, and you can use our facilities, like the tennis court, the exercise room, and the meeting room.W: It’s not a bad deal, really. Could you tell me exactly where the centre is located?M: It’s at 107 Eliot Street.W: Is that Eliot with two Ls or one L?M: One L. E-L-I-O-T. It’s right downtown.W: I think I know where it is. Do you have free parking?M: Yes. You can park just across the street. There’s a garage there.W: That sounds easy enough. Maybe I’ll come in one day next week and sign up for some classes.M: That would be fine, but don’t come on Monday because we’re closed that day. We’re open Tuesday through Sunday.W: Oh. Thanks for telling me. Maybe I’ll stop in on Tuesday then. Can I pay for the classes with a personal check?M: We accept checks and credit cards.W: OK. Thank you very much.

Where is it you’ve been, Tom?T: Well, I’ve just come back from Vancouver, Sue, and I must say I had a fantastic time. There’s so much to see and do in the city. But if you get a chance to go there, there’s one place you mustn’t miss, and that’s the Museum of Anthropology. It was certainly one of the highlights of my time in Canada. The museum was actually established way back in 1949 and these days it’s one of the most popular in Canada. It’s worth going there just to see the building, in fact, because it’s stunningly modern and dramatic - it’s hard to believe it was built back in 1976. One very good thing is that the museum’s all on one floor, which makes it easily accessible for wheelchairs. Another plus is that it’s in the most beautiful setting, overlooking the sea. And inside, you can see archaeological and ethnographical material from all over the world, although what the museum is best known for is its collection of art and culture from the native people of the Pacific North-West.Questions 14-16T: It’s not a large museum, so it’s quite easy to find your way around. When you arrive, you come into the entrance lobby with a small shop on the right, where you can buy guidebooks and some interesting souvenirs. Then, if you walk straight ahead, you’ll go down a sloping ramp until you come to a kind of crossroads with an information desk. It’s worth spending a few minutes there, because the staff are very helpful and you can pick up various useful maps and leaflets. If you turn left at this point, there’s a large ceramics gallery, and if you turn right, you’ll eventually come to the theatre. But instead, keep walking straight ahead in the same direction as the ramp and you’ll find yourself in the museum’s most impressive room, the Great Hall. This was designed to house 30 of the museum’s largest totem poles and it’s absolutely spectacular! The glass walls are fifteen metres high, and the whole design is based on the structure of the native wooden houses.Now listen and answer Questions 17 to 20.T: After that, you can enjoy just wandering around the various galleries. Don’t miss the Rotunda, which is the setting for a beautiful modern sculpture called ‘The Raven and the First Men’. It’s carved from a huge block of cedar wood and it took five people over three years to complete. One of the best things about the museum, by the way, is that nothing is hidden away in store rooms. Everything is on show in a fascinating section called ‘Visible storage’.Now, a few practicalities. The museum is situated on the University of British Columbia campus, which is quite a long way out of Vancouver City, so you’ll need to take a bus to get there. Take a number 10 or a number 4 from town and stay on till the end of the line.Finally, it’s a good idea to check the opening times before you go. If you visit in the winter, remember that the museum is closed on Mondays. During the summermonths, it’s open daily. It’s also worth noting that there’s late opening till nine in the evening on Tuesdays, and that’s all year round. If you want more information, the museum has a useful website, which you’ll find on our Factsheet.S: Many thanks for that, Tom. And that report brings us to the end of the programme.

I thought some of them were tough.M: They were certainly hard and generally they were very long.A: Yeah. They were spread over a whole week, which made it impossible to relax.M: Exactly. But what did you think of each test?A: Of the seven exams we did, the least enjoyable for me were the two three-hour essay papers.M: Why didn’t you like the essay papers?A: I am not particularly good at writing things down like that in a short space of time. And I don’t think it’s a good way of testing our theoretical knowledge of medicine.M: I’m the opposite, I’m afraid. I’m much better in the written essay exams than other types of tests. But what about the two multiple choice exam papers in basic science and anatomy?A: They weren’t too bad. If you didn’t know the answer, all you had to do was guess.M: Mmm. That’s okay but I never feel comfortable with guessing. And you know that there is research that shows that women are disadvantaged when doing multiple-choice questions compared to men.A: You have mentioned this before, but I am not sure I believe it.M: It’s true. Multiple-choice questions benefit men more than women. They are a male construct.A: If you say so!M: It’s not if I say so. Anyway, you have to be careful with multiple-choice questions because of the negative marking. That can really bring the score down if you keep guessing and get all of the guesses wrong. It’s double negative.A: Yeah, that is a danger.M: What about the role-play? Did you like that?A: Yeah, with the actors and actresses as simulated patients. Yeah, I thought that was byfar the best part of the exam.M: Why was that?A: What I liked about it was during the 24 test stations, we had a chance to show what we know about communicating with patients and show our practical medical knowledge etc.M: Yes. I think I agree with you there. I enjoyed all of the stations, but I can tell you I was tired at the end. I have done a practice exam with 12 test stations, but not 24. It was exhausting, but also exhilarating.A: I completely agree. It lasted nearly four hours in total with the break.Now listen and answer Questions 26 to 30.A: What did you think of the other two exams?M: The two problem-solving tests? Mmm...l didn’t think I was going to handle them very well, but in the end I think they went better than I thought they would. What I liked most was the test where we had to work in groups of four and to solve a problem we had to prioritize prioritise actions.A: That was interesting! I am not sure I did very well in that, though. Did you feel comfortable being in a group of four and having four examiners watching you as you discussed the problem?M: We did practice it several times before. You learn to forget that someone is watching you.A: But some people are better at speaking in group situations like that and they get the best marks.M: The test doesn’t just assess whether people can talk a lot. It’s about showing you can listen, organize your thoughts and then show you can be part of a team, allowing other people to speak.A: Well, we’ll have to see how it goes. When do the results of the mocks come out?M: They said next week. And then it’s the Finals two weeks later.A: Yeah, we’ve got that to look forward to. What is the policy on re-sits?M: Why?

Much can be done to the store environment to encourage shoppers to linger longer and spend more money. The first aspect to consider is the physical organisation of the store. Placement of merchandise has a great deal of influence on what customers buy. For example, a common practice among retailers is to place the store’s best-selling merchandise near the back of the store. In order to get to these popular items from the front entrance, customers have to walk down aisles filled with merchandise that they might not see otherwise.Carpets are also used to direct customers through particular areas of the store. Retailers choose carpets not only for their decorative or comfort value, but also because lines or other types of patterns in the carpets can subtly guide shoppers in certain directions. Besides encouraging shoppers to go to certain areas of the store, retailers also want to keep them in the store longer. One way to do this is to provide comfortable seating throughout the store, but not too close to the doors. This gives customers a chance to rest and then continue shopping.Retailers can do a number of things to create a pleasant atmosphere in the store, thereby encouraging more purchases. Music is commonly used, not as entertainment, but as a calming influence. It can slow the customers’ pace through the store, making them spend more time shopping and, consequentially, making more purchases. Scents are also used in various ways.Everyone has had the experience of being drawn into a bakery by the smell of fresh bread. Experiments have been done with other types of scents, as well. For example, the scent of vanilla has been used toincrease sales in clothing stores.Questions 36-40Use of colour is another important aspect of store environment. Certain colours can affect behaviour as well as mood. Light purple, for example, has been found to have an interesting effect on customer behaviour. People shopping in an environment where light purple is the predominating colour seem to spend money more than shoppers in other environments. Orange is a colour that’s often used in fast-food restaurants. It encourages customers to leave faster, making room for the next group of diners. Blue, on the other hand, is a calming colour. It gives customers a sense of security, so it’s a good colour for any business to use. In addition to using colour to create mood and affect customer behaviour, colour can also be used to attract certain kinds of customers to a business. Stores that cater to a younger clientele should use bold, bright colours, which tend to be attractive to younger people. Stores that are interested in attracting an older clientele will have more success with soft, subtle colours, as older people find these colours more appealing.Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C.31．Retailers place popular itemsA．in the back of the store.B．near the front entrance.C．at the end of the aisle.正确答案：A32．Carpet patterns are used toA．help shoppers feel comfortable.B．appeal to shoppers’ decorative sense.C．encourage shoppers to walk in certain directions.正确答案：C33．Retailers can keep customers in the store longer byA．providing places to sit.B．keeping the doors closed.C．lowering the prices.正确答案：A34．Music is used in stores toA．entertain customers.B．slow customers down.C．make customers shop faster.正确答案：B35．The scent of vanilla has been used inA．ice cream shops.B．bakeries.C．clothing stores.正确答案：CComplete the chart about the effects of colour.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.正确答案：36．正确答案：spend money37．正确答案：leave faster38．正确答案：security39．正确答案：younger people//clienteles40．正确答案：older people//clienteles。

So, I’ll hand over now to Julie Brooks.JULIE BROOKS: Thank you. Welcome to the Sports Centre. It’s good to see that there are so many people wanting to find out about our sports facilities. First of all, membership. All students at the college are entitled to become members of the Sports Centre, for an annual fee of ~9.50. To 【Q11/Q12】register with us and get your membership card, you need to come to 【Q13】reception, between 2 and 6 pm, Monday to Thursday. I’m afraid we can’t register new members on Friday, so it’s Monday to Thursday, 2 to 6, at reception. Now, there are three things that you must remember to. bring with you when you come to register; they are: your Union card, a recent passport-sized photograph of yourself, and the fee. It doesn’t matter whether you bring cash or a cheque. We can’t issue your card unless you bring all three; so, don’t forget: your Union card, passport photo and fee. Then once you have got your sports card, you will need to bring it with you whenever you come to book or use any Sports Centre facilities. 【Q14/Q15】Booking over the phone is not allowed, so you have to come here inperson, with your card, when you want to book. Our opening hours seemto get longer every year. We are now open from 9am to 10pm on 【Q16】weekdays and from 10am to 6pm on Saturdays. For those of you who are up and about early in the morning, we areintroducing a 50 per cent ‘morning discount’ this year. This is because thefacilities tended to be under-used in the mornings last year. It means thatall the sessions will be half-price between 9am and 12 noon on weekdays. So, what exactly are the facilities? What sports can you play here? Well,this room we are in at the moment is called the Main Hall, and it’s usedmainly for team sports such as football, volleyball and basketball, butalso for badminton and aerobics. On the other side of the reception areathere is the dance studio; this provides a smaller, more intimate space, 【Q17/Q18】which we use for ballet, modern dance and martial arts - not at the sametime, of course. Then in a separate building, which you may have noticedon your way here.., it’s on the other side of the car park.., there are 【Q19/Q20】the squash courts (six of them), and at the far end of the building a fitnessroom. This is our newest facility, only completed in the Spring, but it is already proving to be one of the most popular. As well as all these facilitiesavailable here on the campus, we also have an arrangement with the local tennis club, which is only two miles away, entitling our students to use their courts on weekday mornings in the Summer. So, I think that there should be something here for everybody, and I hope to see all of you at the Centre, making use of the facilities. If, in the course of the year, you have any suggestions as to how the service we provide might be improved or its appeal widened, I’ll be interested to hear from you.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11-13Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS OR A NUMBER for each answer.11．【11】正确答案：(￡) 9.5012．【12】正确答案：year//annum 【NOT annual】13．【13】正确答案：reception 【NOT Sports Centre】Questions 14-16Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.14．【14】正确答案：card15．【15】正确答案：book16．【16】正确答案：weekdaysQuestions 17-20Look at the map of the Sports Complex bel the buildings on the map of the Sports Complex.Choose your answers from the box below and write them against Questions 17-20.Arts Studio Football Pitch Tennis Courts Dance Studio Fitness Room Reception Squash Courts 17．【17】正确答案：Reception (Area)18．【18】正确答案：Dance Studio19．【19】正确答案：Squash Courts20．【20】正确答案：Fitness Room听力原文：JOHN BROWN: Good morning, Mrs Collins.

Ted Hunter is a member of the Domesticated Ostrich Farming Association, and is here to tell us about the possibilities of breeding and rearing these birds here in this country.TED: Thank you, Paula. When you look at international restaurant menus and supermarkets they all tend to feature the same range of meats - beef, lamb, chicken, pork, that sort of thing. But people are always interested in something different and we’re now finding that farming can bring new types of meat to our tables. The kangaroo is one animal that’s now being farmed for its meat and eaten outside Australia, where it comes from. It looks and tastes rather like 【Q31】rabbit, though it’s slightly darker in colour, but it is rather tough, so that’s a 【Q32】problem for some people. Crocodiles are also being farmed for their meat. This is rather like chicken, pale and tender, and it’s getting quite fashionable. Some people also find it’s rather fatty, but I think it makes a really tasty sandwich. Now a third type of meat becoming increasingly available, and the one that I think is by far the nicest of the three, is ostrich, which most people say has a 【Q33】similar taste and texture to beef. However, it’s much better for you than beef, as we’ll see later. Most people think of ostriches as wild animals, but in fact ostriches have been farmed in South Africa since around 1860. At first they were produced for their feathers. In Africa they were used for tribal ceremonial dress and they were also exported to Europe and America where they were made into ladies’ fans 【Q34】and used for decorating hats. Later, feather fans and big, decorated hats went out of fashion but ostriches were still bred, this time for their hide. This can be 【Q35】treated to produce about half a square metre of leather - very delicate, fine stuff of very good quality. At the same time, some of the meat was used for biltong - the air-dried strips 【Q36】of meat popular in South Africa as a sort of fast food. However, recently there’s been more and more interest in the development of ostrichfarming in other parts of the world, and more people are recognising its value as a food source. Ostrich meat is slightly higher in protein than beef- and 【Q37】much lower in fats and cholesterol. It tastes good too. A series of European taste tests found that 82% of people prefer ostrich to beef. And one ostrich produces a lot of meat - from around 30 to 50 kg, mostly from the hindquarters of the bird. Farmed ostriches don’t need African climates, and in fact ostrich farming is now becoming well established in other parts of the world. However, setting up an ostrich farm isn’t something to embark on lightly. Mature breeding birds are very expensive - even a fertilised ostrich egg isn’t cheap so you need quite a bit 【Q38】of capital to begin with. Then the farmer needs special equipment such as incubators for the eggs. The young chicks are very dependent on human 【Q39】minders, and need a lot of attention from the people looking after them. In addition, ostriches can’t be intensively farmed - they need space and exercise. But in spite of this they make good farming sense. A cow produces only one calf a year whereas a female ostrich can lay an egg every other day. And because 【Q40】the farmers can use incubators and hatched chicks are nourished well and protected from danger, the failure rate on farms is very low indeed and almost all the fertilised eggs will hatch out into chicks which will in turn reach maturity. This is very different from the situation in the wild, where the vast majority of chicks will die or be killed before they grow up into mature ostriches. So it’s possible, once the initial outlay has been made, for the farmer to be looking at very good profit margins indeed. Ostrich farming is still in its early days outside Africa but we hope that ostrich meat will be freely available soon and before long will be as cheap as beef.SECTION 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-33Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer31．【31】正确答案：rabbit (meat)32．【32】正确答案：(rather) tough33．【33】正确答案：beefQuestions 34-36Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer34．【34】正确答案：(ladies’) (feather) fans35．【35】正确答案：(delicate) (fine) (good quality) leather36．【36】正确答案：meatQuestions 37-40Choose the correct letters A-C.37．Ostrich meat ______.A．has more protein than beef.B．tastes nearly as good as beef.C．is very filling.正确答案：A38．One problem with ostrich farming in Britain is ______.A．the climate.B．the cost of transporting birds.C．the price of ostrich eggs.正确答案：C39．Ostrich chicks reared on farms ______.A．must be kept in incubators until mature.B．are very independent.C．need looking after carefully.正确答案：C40．The speaker suggests ostrich farms are profitable because ______.

Tonight’s show comes to you from the Good Home Exhibition in Duke’s Court, where we’ve been trying out some of the latest gadgets on show here and getting our resident expert - Liz Shearer - to tell us which ones are worth buying and which will die a death.LIZ SHEARER: Well, hello. Yes, John, I’ve been investigating four new household gadgets and sorting out the advantages and disadvantages and then really deciding what are ‘Must buys’, what are ‘Maybe buys’ and what are ‘Never buys’. Let’s start with this vacuum flask for keeping drinks hot. Well... I felt this had quite a lot going for it, most of all is the fact that it containsno glass and is therefore unbreakable to all intents and purposes. It’s made 【Q11】of stainless steel which is guaranteed for 20 years.., hope that’s long enough.., and it’s true what the manufacturer claims - that it does maintain heat for 18 hours. So that’s pretty good. On the down side, it 【Q12】really works out to be quite expensive and, much more surprisingly, it unfortunately leaves a strange taste.., you know when you’ve drunk 【Q13】from it... so all in all, my recommendation would be it’s got plenty of advantages, but it is rather expensive so I’d say you should maybe buy it. Moving on to a natty little device.., the Whistle Key Holder. Basically this is where you whistle and the key holder gives off a high pitched noise and flashes light so you can find it. One advantage of this model is that it also has a small light. You press the button and this means you can find keyholes easily. I also felt the small size was a real advantage. On the 【Q14】weaker side, I did find the noise unpleasant. Which I’m sure the designers could have done something about. And I found that it didn’t work 【Q15】through metal, so it’s mainly useful for finding in coat pockets, cushions, etc. But taken as a whole I thought it was a masterpiece of design and 【Q16】would highly recommend it. The third gizmo is called the Army Flashlight because it was developed initially for military use. It works by squeezing the handle to generate the power. Its advantages are that it can be used for outside activities, and 【Q17】also.., and this is one of the surprising features.., it does work underwater. My main objection to it though was although it did work in 【Q18】these conditions, this model gave off a weak light. So my recommendation 【Q19】I’m afraid would have to be to avoid this one. The decoy camera was last on my list. This is a fake video camera which you fix to your wall to scare off burglars. The advantage of this model is something which makes it look very realistic.., itsflashing light. On the 【Q20】down side, it was quite difficult to fix to the wall. However, burglary is such a major problem these days that it is worth the effort, so this gets my strong recommendation.PRESENTER: OK.

I was just very anxious to hear what you think of it. You can see that I decided to change the topic - I had been interested in looking at Barings Factory.BRYSON: Oh, I think the hospital was a much better choice. In fact.., well... I have to 【Q21】say that I thought it was good.AMINA: Oh?BRYSON: There’s still lots of work to be done...AMINA: Oh yes.., of course.BRYSON: But there’s plenty of good ideas. It opens well and the first chapter is fine but the middle section really stood out for me... most interesting.【Q22】AMNA: That’s amazing because I really didn’t find it a bit easy to write... 【Q23】BRYSON: How long did you work on the whole thing?AMINA: Well, I spent about two or three weeks reading and doing general research and then I dashed the writing off very quickly.., so about four weeks in all.BRYSON: Well, that’s about par for the course. You’ve got a while yet to make the changes.AMINA: Oh right.., no problem...BRYSON: Right. Let’s have a look at my notes here. OK. Starting with section headings …. the broad divisions are good but you’ll have to re-do the actual headings. Example I’ve made some suggestions in the margins...AMINA: OK. Thanks.BRYSON: Now, this information on local housing... I can see why you put it there but it 【Q24】really isn’t relevant to the approach you’ve taken.AMINA: I think I see what you mean.BRYSON: Now... what did I say about the interviews?AMNA: I worked very hard on those. I really thought they were valuable.BRYSON: They are, Amina, but they’re very complex and rather unclear at the moment. You’re going to have to spend a bit of time making the data a lot clearer. 【Q25】AMINA: OK... as long as I don’t have to remove them altogether...BRYSON: No, don’t worry.AMINA: What about the chronology.., the list of dates? I wasn’t sure whether I should rewrite those.BRYSON: My advice on that is to take them out. I feel it makes the whole piece appear 【Q26】too simplistic.AMINA: OK, if it’ll help. ................................................................................................................................. .........................BRSON: Now, there are a couple of other books I’d like you to look at. Have you got a pen? Right... Approaches to Local History by John Mervis...AMINA: Right...BRYSON: And then I think you need to think about ways of representing interview data. Have a look at Sight and Sound by Kate Oakwell. 【Q27】AMINA: Sight and Sound.BRYSON: Then you know I’m going away on holiday next week...AMINA: Yes.BRYSON: So when you’ve made the changes I suggest you show the work to your 【Q28】Support Tutor.AMINA: Support Tutor... right...BRYSON: Then you do the proof reading... 【Q29】AMINA: Proof reading.., uh-huh.

I’m Paula Bundell and I am giving you the lectures on EnvironmentalNoise this term. Today we are going to look into the effects of noise on a planned housingestate in a particularly difficult part of the new Manchester Park area. This site is not as bad as some I have researched in the past. The Blacktown airport isclosed from 6pm to 7am and this is a great advantage to the site. The only noise after darkis from the highway and the traffic is somewhat reduced between 7.30pm and 5.30am. 【Q31】So, the people most affected by the noise will be, I expect, housewives. By the time most of 【Q32】the students and workers have arrived back home in the evening during the week the noisewill have abated to a fairly large extent. The weekends are still a problem of course, but thetraffic is certainly reduced on Saturdays to a large extent and even more so on Sundays. 【Q33】Of course modifications to houses will be necessary at a site like this and they come at asignificant cost to the developer and home buyer. The modifications I am about to outlinewill add about $25,000 to the price of a newly-built house. That will still mean a cheaper 【Q34】house than in a less noisy and more desirable area. A bit of background would not go astray. I understand that you are all familiar with theproposed development site at Manchester Park. It’s a particularly difficult one in terms of noise with the highway along the easternperimeter and the Blacktown airport not 3 kilometres away to the north. Ofcourse, those nearest the highway will be the worst hit, with heavy traffic noise aswell as the noise from the light planes overhead. As you all know, the normal noisethreshold for private housing is 55 decibels. At this site the levels have been recorded as 【Q35】high as 67 decibels. The construction of the houses has to be somewhat modified from houses in most areas. Inthe houses on the highway and in the noisiest areas of this site there will be a need forspecialised double glazing and special acoustic seals will have to be fitted to the doors. 【Example】All exterior doors in this especially noisy pocket will have to be solid core wood doors withhinges. Every house built on this site, not just those adjacent to the highway or nearest tothe airport, will require high density insulation materials in the roof. Not only will all theroofs need insulating, the exterior walls will be required to be double brick. All ceilings will 【Q36】require double thickness plaster board to be used in the construction. In the noisiest areasmechanical ventilation will have to be installed in the exterior walls. In those areas with 【Q37】sealed windows it will be necessary to fit fans with absorbers to cut out the noise in thoseparticular houses. Air conditioning units could also be fitted in the ceilings of such houses 【Q38】but this is substantially more expensive than fans, and may not be needed on this site. Coming back now to the double glazing I mentioned before. Specialised double glazingrequires a larger air gap between the inner and outer glass than normal double glazing.The gap must be at least 7 centimetres. The thickness of the glass is also a factor, 8 【Q39】millimetres on the outside and 6 on the inside pane. It is essential that the glass be thickeron the outside than on the inside and that the gap between the panes of glass be aminimum of 7 centimetres. Obviously, the noise factor will have to be taken into consideration with the layout ofthe houses. Living areas will have to be designed at the back of the houses away from thehighway. Bedrooms and living rooms will have to be built towards the back, and for those 【Q40】houses closest to the highway two layers of plasterboard will be needed for the interiorbedroom walls. Those rooms constructed at the front of the houses should be garages,laundries, kitchens, bathrooms and dining rooms. I have come to the conclusion that this development should go ahead, but with variousacoustic modifications according to the position of the block in relation to the highwayand intersection.Section 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-34Write NUMBERS AND/OR NO MORE THAN FOUR WORDS for each answer.31．Between what times is the road traffic lightest?正确答案：7.30pm (to/and) 5.30am 【NOT 7.30 to 5.30】32．Who will notice the noise most?正确答案：housewives∥housewifes33．Which day of the week has the least traffic?正确答案：Sunday(s)34．What will be the extra cost of modifying houses?正确答案：(about) $25,000/twenty-five thousand dollars 【NOT 25,000】Question 35Choose the correct letter A-D.35．The noise levels at the site can reachA．45 decibels.B．55 decibels.C．67 decibels.D．70 decibels.正确答案：CQuestions 36-38Complete the table showing where devices used in reducing noise could be fitted in the houses.Write: W for walls D for doors C for ceilings36．double thickness plaster boardA．WB．DC．C正确答案：C37．mechanical ventilationA．WB．DC．C正确答案：A38．air conditioningA．WB．DC．C正确答案：CQuestions 39 and 40Choose the correct letters A-D.39．Which is the correct construction for acoustic double glazing?A．AB．BC．CD．D正确答案：D40．What is the best layout for the houses?

First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Clive: Hello, Edwina, is it? Have a seat.Edwina: Yes, Edwina. Thanks. I’m looking for a job as a nanny. I like working with children. I talked to you yesterday?Clive: Oh, yes. Well, we covered most of the ground on the phone yesterday. I’ve got a form I need to complete for my records. So,(Example)you’re Edwina Riley, and how should we contact you?The woman’s name is Edwina Riley, so ‘Riley’has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.[repeat]Edwina: By email.

And you’re from Australia?Edwina:(2)Actually. I’m a New Zealander.Clive: Oh, I’m sorry. I bet it’s really irritating being told you’re an Australian. Like Canadians being asked what part of the States they’re from.Edwina: I’m used to it. It happens to us all the time.Clive: And now, you said on the phone that you could bring me some references? One from someone who’s known you in a professional capacity and one personal one?Edwina: Ah, yeah. Here’s one from(3)John Keen, who was the manager at the play centre in Wellington where I worked for three years after I left school. It’s got all his contact details on.Clive: Thank you. So this was your last employer?Edwina: Yes, apart from a bit of waitressing recently, but that was just temporary. I’m sure John will answer any questions if you contact him.Clive: We do run checks, yes. And a personal reference?Edwina: Ah, you can contact the friend of my mother’s I’m staying with here in London:(4)Eileen Dorsini. She’s a professor. She’s known me all my life because she used to be our neighbour back home when she was a primary school teacher there. Now she’s working here at the Institute of Education.Clive: Oh good!Edwina: I’ve got her contact details here for you.Clive: Thanks. I think I have some jobs to suit you. Oh, do you have any practical qualifications, by the way? Life-saving, music, anything?Edwina: Urn,(5)I’ve got an up-to-date first aid certificate. I did a course when I was working.Clive: That’s good. First aid. Anything else?Edwina: Well, I’ve got a driving licence, as I told you on the phone. But that’s not special, you said, almost everyone needs that really.(6)I’ve got a sailing qualification, it’s a certificate of competence.Clive: So you’re a yachtswoman?Edwina: I love sailing.Clive: Well, I’ll note you have a certificate.Hmm.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.Clive: Now, as I mentioned yesterday, there are three families and the job description is much the same for all of them, as I explained. There are a few other things you need to know. Anyway, the first family’s here in London.Edwina: Yes, I did make a few notes. London, er, that’s the Bentons? With two children?Clive: Yes. That’s right, a girl of three and her brother who’s eight. The little boy has a quite serious food allergy. Did you learn about things like that on your course?Edwina: Oh, well, I know what to do if someone has an allergic reaction.Clive: Good, but(7)what they mainly want is someone with an interest in sport, as that’s the kind of family they are.Edwina: Oh that’s OK. I’ll enjoy that.Clive: Good. Now the next people are in the country, near Oxford.Edwina: Oh yeah, the Grangers?Clive: So,(8)they have twin bovs of five, who are a bit of a handful, I suspect, but it’s a lovely place, quite a grand house, and the family is extremely welcoming. They keep horses. Do you ride?Edwina: I did when I was younger. I like animals generally.Clive: Well, ‘animal-lover’was their special request, so you’d be fine there. The last family ...Edwina: Yes?Clive: I don’t think I told you(9)they live in Scotland.Edwina: Really? What’s their name?Clive: Campbell.Edwina: Oh, yes. And they have four girls under ten?Clive: That’s it. They have a lovely city flat, and they own a small island.Edwina: Wow!Clive: Actually, you might get on with them very well.(10)They particularly wanted someone who would be prepared to cook when they go camping on the island.Edwina: Camping would really suit me and I’m used to taking my turn doing the food. But it is a long way from London.Clive: Mm. Yeah, well, you can think about it. Urn, then as soon as I’ve checked your references, we can arrange for you to talk to all of the families.Edwina: Right. Thanks very much!Clive: Thank you! I’ll email you as soon as I can.Complete the form below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.

First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 11 to 14.Guide: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m very pleased to be able to welcome you to ‘Cityscope’, our lovely modern sports and leisure facility. I’ve brought you up to the rooftop cafe on top of the stadium so that you can enjoy the view while I explain briefly what we have here and point out to you the major features of the site. Then we’ll go round and have a look at ground level.We’re extremely proud of this new facility. You see, when the project was first discussed, we expected that a multinational company would give us half our funding and the central government grant would make up most of the rest, with a smaller contribution from local business. Well, we’d got quite far into the planning stage when the multinational pulled out and both central and local government decided they couldn’t afford anything, so we ended up with a beautiful project, a small amount of sponsorship promised by local organisations and nothing else.We thought we’d never build it, but at the last moment,(11/12)we had an amazing donation of several million pounds from a national transport company, and that got us going again and(11/12)we managed to get all the rest from local fundraising. There’s hardly a street in the city that hasn’t made its contribution one way or another, so there’s a true sense of local ownership here.So, this is what we got. We wanted a new stadium because the 1950s football stadium is on the other side of town and is shortly due to be pulled down and built over. This site was the old airport with some playing fields on one side of it and a few buildings from the 1930s when the airfield first opened. So we were able to plan a new stadium with plenty of room for all the things people wanted.(13/14)The playing fields have been upgraded and refenced so they are now a set of top-quality outdoor pitches for amateur football, hockey and so on. We have both sports and other entertainments here. We want to encourage all kinds of people onto the site and hope some of them may come to use the cinema or the cafe and end up trying the fitness centre. These areall grouped together:(13/14)the cafe is in the original 1930s passenger hall and the architects have managed to retain some of the elegant style of the building. The other buildings, like the control tower, which would have made a great feature, and the aircraft hangars which we had hoped might house the fitness centre, were unfortunately not structurally sound enough to preserve. So everything else is newly built, opened in 2010.Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.Right, now if you’d like to gather a little closer to the window I’ll point out the various buildings. We’re at the highest point of the stadium here in the rooftop cafe, on the opposite side to the main entrance doors.(15)On our left, you can see two buildings just beyond the end of the stadium. The closest one is the business centre, used for meetings and conferences, and so on, which provides a good source of revenue for the upkeep of the sports facilities; and next to the business centre the bigger building is the hotel which is rented from us by an independent company. As you see, they are served by the perimeter road which runs round three-quarters of the site. Now, coming round to the front of the building,(16)immediately in front of the entrance, that circular open space at the end of the road is the transport hub. From here, there are buses and a monorail link to the free car park, about ten minutes from here, but you can’t see that. There’s also a large secure cycle park. Oh, and disabled parking, of course. People find it’s very convenient and it keeps the site virtually car-free. OK. Now if you look as far as you can over to the right, beyond the buildings, you can see our outdoor pitches, which I mentioned earlier. Between the pitches and the entrance is a little kind of pedestrian plaza ... are you with me? OK,(17)with the cinema in the building furthest away from us. next to the pitches, then there’s the ten-pin bowling between the cinema and the road.(18)Near the far end of the perimeter road and between the mini-roundabout and the pitches - there’s our fitness centre, with all kinds of equipment, and a small pool, and changing rooms for teams using the pitches. Then,(19)joined on to the stadium, next to the entrance, is a range of small shops which all specialise in sports equipment, clothes, shoes. They sell toys and so on as well, all that sort of thing. They seem to be doing well! As you see, the service road goes right round, but we keep the traffic and the pedestrians well apart, so it’s all very relaxed round the plaza, popular with families. And(20)just in front of the bowling is our lovely restaurant. You can see it from here - it’s that building on the plaza between us and the bowling. It’s open all day and in the evenings. There’s quite a queue there at weekends, I’m pleased to say.So, now you’ve got the layout, we can go and have a closer look at everything.Choose TWO letters, A-E.Which TWO sources of funding helped build the facility?A the central governmentB local governmentC a multinational companyD a national companyE city residents11．正确答案：D解析：D/E12．正确答案：E解析：E/D,Distraction A: This was what was originally hoped for, not what actually happened: ‘when the project was first discussed, we expected that a ... central government grant would make up most of the rest’; C: ‘when the project was first discussed, we expected that a multinational company would give us half our funding’-again, this was hoped for but not what eventually happened; B: ‘local government decided they couldn’t afford anything’. ‘Pre-existing’ means something which already exists.

First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.Chloe: Oh, hi Ivan.Ivan: Oh, hi Chloe.Chloe: I’m glad I bumped into you because I’ve been looking at this prospectus about courses at the university. I’m thinking of doing a business studies degree. Isn’t that what you’re doing?Ivan: Yes, I’m about to start my third year. I think you’d enjoy it. Is there something on the course that you’re not sure about?Chloe: Well, you know I’ve been working for a publisher for the last four years as a production assistant...Ivan: That will be really valuable experience because a lot of people go to university straight from school and don’t have that kind of background.Chloe: Yeah, I know and I’m used to dealing with figures and percentages and things, but(21)it’s been a while since I’ve sat down and put my ideas into an essay. I was never that good at it and I’m not sure I can do it now.Ivan: But you did OK at school, so I’m sure you’ll soon get into it again. I was worried about different things when I started, like if I’d be able to use all the computer programs, but you only really need the basics. You have to do a lot of presentations and I thought that would be hard, but we’d actually had such a lot of practice at school it was fine.Chloe: But did you find writing essays easy?Ivan: It was OK but(22)I was hopeless at getting them in by the deadline and I was always late for lectures, so I had to work hard at that and I tend to be early now.Chloe: It’s good that you’ve sorted yourself out before you go and get a job or you might not have it very long! I think the course looks really interesting.Ivan: It is and it also gave me the chance to spend six months working in a local business last year.Chloe: That’s not so important for me unless I could go abroad to use my foreign languages but that doesn’t seem to be on offer, which is a shame.(23)What really appeals to me. though, is the idea of being assessed throughout the year. I think that’s a much more productive way of learning instead of everything being decided in an exam at the end.Ivan: It’s good for people like you who are hard-working all year round. You’ll be spending all your time in thelibrary. They’ve just expanded it too.Chloe: That’s good.Ivan: Well, yes and no. They’ve made the study area bigger but it means they’ve taken some of the magazines and periodicals away, so I think it was better as it was. The university’s expanding all the time and(24)there are lots of new courses coming next year.Chloe: Well, that’s great news, isn’t it? It means the college will have a better reputation as more people will hear about it. so that’s good for us.Ivan: Mm, I agree but they really need to add more lecture rooms as we often have lectures in tiny rooms.Chloe: Well, you obviously think overall it’s a good place to do a degree. I should probably go and have a look round.Ivan: Well, it’s holidays now and there’s not much going on there.Chloe: Oh, so it’s probably not worth going in now.Ivan: But(25)you could email my tutor - I know he’d be happy to answer any questions. I can give you his email address. I looked at quite a lot of other universities and read loads of prospectuses but I thought this one was the best.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.Chloe: I was a bit unsure about all the different subjects you can choose on this course.Ivan: Well, I can tell you a bit about them. There are some subjects you have to do and some that you can choose. The most interesting course I’ve done is(26)public relations.Chloe: From what I’ve read it doesn’t look very demanding - some of it is really just common sense.Ivan: But it will be really useful if you want to go into marketing or advertising.Chloe: That’s true, but I need to find out a bit more about it first before I decide - if it will really help me. It’s difficult to tell from the prospectus.Ivan: But you are interested in marketing?Chloe: Oh, yes.Ivan: Well, you can choose a(27)marketing course. I wasn’t very impressed with that course actually. The tutor didn’t make it very interesting.Chloe: Mm, it’s good to put on your CV that you’ve done a marketing course, though, so that would be a definite for me and maybe I’d get a different tutor. What other courses did you choose?Ivan: I’m doing(28)taxation as I was thinking of training to be an accountant but I’m not sure now.Chloe: Oh, that will be a good option for me because I enjoy working with figures.

First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[Pause the recording for one minute.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.I work for the National Weather Service and as part of your course on weather patterns, I’ve been asked to talk to you about how we predict the weather. We’re so used to switching on our TVs and getting an up-to-date weather forecast at any time of day or night that we probably forget that this level of sophistication has only been achieved in the last few decades and weather forecasting is actually an ancient art. So I want to start by looking back into history.The earliest weather forecasts appeared in the 1500s in almanacs, which were lists of information produced every year.(31)Their predictions relied heavily on making links between the weather and where the planets were in the sky on certain days. In addition, predictions were often based on information like if the fourth night after a new moon was clear, good weather was expected to follow.But once basic weather instruments were invented, things slowly started to change.(32)In the mid-fifteenth century, a man called Nicholas Cusa, a German mathematician, designed a hygrometer which told people how much humidity there was in the air. To do this, Cusa put some sheep’s wool on a set of scales and then monitored the change in the wool’s weight according to the air conditions.A piece of equipment we all know and use is the thermometer.(33)Changes in temperature couldn’t really be measured until the Italian Galileo Galilei invented his thermometer in 1593. It wasn’t like a modern-day thermometer because it had water inside it instead of mercury. In fact, it wasn’t until 1714 that Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer. In 1643 another Italian called Evangelista Torricelli invented the first barometer which measured atmospheric pressure. This was another big step forward in more accurate weather predicting.As time went on, during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, all these meteorological instruments were improved and developed and people in different countries began to record measurements relating to their local weather. However,(34)in those days it was very difficult to send records from one part of the world to another so it wasn’t possible for them to share their information until the electric telegraph became more widespread. This meant that weather observations could be sent on a regular basis to and from different countries. By the 1860s, therefore, weather forecasts were becoming more common and accurate because they were based on observations taken at the same time over a wide area.(35)In 1863. France started publishing weather maps each day. This hadn’t been done before, and other nations soon followed. So that was the start of national weather forecasting and I’ll now tell you how we at the National Weather Centre get the information we need to produce a forecast.Even today, one of the most important methods we use is observations which tell us what the weather is doing right now. Observation reports are sent automatically from equipment at a number of weather stations in different parts of the country.(36)They are nearly all based at airports although a few are in urban centres. The equipment senses temperature, humidity, pressure and wind speed direction.Meteorologists also rely really heavily on satellites which send images to our computer screens. What we see on our screens is brightcolours.(37)Orange represents dry air and bright blue shows moisture levels in the atmosphere. The satellites are located 22,000 miles above the surface of the Earth and it’s amazing that despite that distance(38)it’s possible for us to make out an individual cloud and follow it as it moves across the landscape.In addition to collecting data from the ground, we need to know what’s happening in the upper levels of the atmosphere. So a couple of times a day from many sites across the country, we send radiosondes into the air.(39)A radiosonde is a box containing a package of equipment and it hangs from a balloon which is filled with gas. Data is transmitted back to the weather station.Finally, radar.(40)This was first used over 150 years ago and still is. New advances are being made all the time and it is one method for detecting and monitoring the progress of hurricanes. Crucial information is shown by different colours representing speed and direction. Radar is also used by aircraft, of course.All this information from different sources is put into computer models which are like massive computer programs. Sometimes they all give us the same story and sometimes we have to use our own experience to decide which is showing the most accurate forecast which we then pass on to you.So I hope next time you watch the weather forecast, you’ll think about how we meteorologists spend our time. And maybe I’ve persuaded some of you to study meteorology in more depth.Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.

Alex White gave me your number. He said you’d be able to give me some advice about moving to Banford. LINDA: Yes, Alex did mention you. How can I help? MATT: Well, first of all - which area to live in? LINDA: Well, I live in DaIton, which is a really nice suburb - not too expensive, and there’s Example a nice park. MATT: Sounds good. Do you know how much it would be to rent a two bedroom flat there? LINDA: Yeah, you should be able to get something reasonable for 850 pounds per month. Q1 That’s what people typically pay. You certainly wouldn’t want to pay more than 900 pounds. That doesn’t include bills or anything. MATT: No. That sounds alright. I’ll definitely have a look there. Are the transport links easy from where you live? LINDA: Well, I’m very lucky. I work in the city centre so I don’t have to use public transport. I go by bike. Q2MATT: Oh, I wish I could do that. Is it safe to cycle around the city? LINDA: Yes, it’s fine. And it keeps me fit. Anyway, driving to work in the city centre would be a nightmare because there’s hardly any parking. And the traffic during the rush Q3 hour can be bad. MATT: I’d be working from home but I’d have to go to London one or two days a week. LINDA: Oh, that’s perfect. Getting to London is no problem. There’s a fast train every 30 minutes which only takes 45 minutes. Q4MATT: That’s good. LINDA: Yeah, the train service isn’t bad during the week. And they run quite late at night. It’s weekends that are a problem. They’re always doing engineering work and you Q5 have to take a bus to Hadham and pick up the train there, which is really slow. But other than that, Banford’s a great place to live. I’ve never been happier.LINDA: There are some nice restaurants in the city centre and a brand new cinema which Q6 has only been open a couple of months. There’s a good arts centre too.MATT: Sounds like Banford’s got it all.LINDA: Yes! We’re really lucky. There are lots of really good aspects to living here. The schools are good and the hospital here is one of the best in the country. Everyone I Q7 know who’s been there’s had a positive experience. Oh, I can give you the name of my dentist too in Bridge Street, if you’re interested. I’ve been going to him for years Q8 and I’ve never had any problems.MATT: Oh, OK. Thanks!LINDA: I’ll find his number and send it to you.MATT: Thanks, that would be really helpful.LINDA: Are you planning to visit Banford soon?MATT: Yes. My wife and I are both coming next week. We want to make some appointments with estate agents.LINDA: I could meet you if you like and show you around.MATT: Are you sure? We’d really appreciate that.LINDA: Either a Tuesday or Thursday is good for me. after 5.30. Q9MATT: Thursday’s preferable - Tuesday I need to get home before 6 pm.LINDA: OK. Great. Let me know which train you’re catching and I’ll meet you in the cafe Q10 outside. You can’t miss it. It’s opposite the station and next to the museum. MATT: Brilliant. I’ll text you next weekthen.

To start your visit I’m just going to give you a brief account of the history of the museum before letting you roam about on your own. I won’t keep you long. OK? Now, from where we’re standing you’ve got a good view of the river over there. And it was because of this fast-flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood, all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time. Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wheels were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here, on the bend in the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the region’s rivers supported more than a hundred and sixty water mills - and many of these continued to operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centres of industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside and into the towns. So, industrial villages like this one became very rare. So that’s the history for you. If you’d like any more information, you can ask me some questions, or you can read further in our excellent guide book. Now I’m going to give you a plan of the site and I’d just like to point out where everything is and then you can take a look at everything for yourself. I’ve already pointed out the river, which is on the left. And of course, running along the bottom is Woodside Road, got it? OK. Now we’re standing at the entrance, see it at the bottom, and immediately to our right is the Ticket Office. You won’t need that because you’ve got your group booking, but just past it are the toilets - always good to know where they are. In front of us is the car park, as you can see, and to the left, by the entry gate is the Gift Shop. That’s where you can get copies of the guide, like this one here. Now, beyond the car park all the buildings are arranged in a half circle with a yard in the middle. The big, stone building at the top is the main Workshop. That’s where the furnace is and where all the metal was smelted and the tools were cast, as you’ll beable to see. Now, in the top right-hand corner, that building with bigger windows is the Showroom, where samples of all the tools that were made through the ages are on display. In the top left corner is the Grinding Shop, where the tools were sharpened and finished. And on one side of that you can see the Engine Room and on the other is the Cafe\ which isn’t an antique, you’ll be pleased to know, though they do serve very nice old-fashioned teas. The row of buildings you can see on the left are the cottages. These were built for the workers towards the end of the eighteenth century and they’re still furnished from that period so you can get a good idea of ordinary people’s living conditions. Across the yard from them, you can see the stables where the horses were kept for transporting the products. And the separate building in front of them is the Works Office and that still has some of the old accounts on display. Right, if anyone wants a guided tour then I’m starting at the Engine Room. If you’d like to come along, this way please, ladies and gentlemen.Complete the sentences below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.

Well, Melanie, how can I help you?melanie: I’m ... having a bit of trouble with the second assignment, and it’s due in twelve days.dr johnson: What sort of trouble are you having? Is the assignment question a problem?melanie: Well, that’s part of the problem. I’m also having - been having –trouble getting hold of the books. I’ve been to the library several times, and all the books are out. dr johnson: Sounds like you should have started borrowing books a bit earlier. melanie: Well, I had a really big assignment due in for another course, and I’ve been spending all my time on that, and I thought... dr johnson: ... You might get an extension of time to finish your assignment for me? melanie: If that’s possible, but I don’t know ...dr johnson: Well, yes, it is possible, but extensions are normally given only for medical or compassionate reasons, otherwise it’s really a question of organising your study, and we don’t like giving extensions to students who simply didn’t plan their work properly. What did you get for your first assignment? melanie: I got eighty-seven per cent.dr johnson: Mmm, yes, you did very well indeed, so obviously you can produce good work. melanie: I don’t think I’ll need too much extra time, as long as I can get hold of some of the important references. dr johnson: Well, since you did so well in your first assignment, I’m prepared to give you an extra two weeks for this one, so that’ll mean you’ll need to submit it about a month from now. melanie: Thank you.dr johnson: Now, what about the reading materials? Have you checked out the journal articles in the list? melanie: Umm, no, not yet, there were about twenty of them, and I wasn’t sure which ones would be most useful or important. dr johnson: Well, they’re all useful, but I don’t expect anyone to read themall, because a number of them deal with the same issues. Let me give you some suggestions. The article by Anderson and Hawker is really worth reading. melanie: Right, I’ll read that one. dr johnson: You should also read the article by Jackson, but just look at the part on the research methodology - how they did it. melanie: OK ... Jackson, got that...dr johnson: And if you have time, the one by Roberts says very relevant things, although it’s not essential. melanie: So, OK, if it’s useful. I’ll try and read that one ...dr johnson: Now, the one by Morris. I wouldn’t bother with that at this stage, if I were you. melanie: OK, I won’t bother with Morris. Oh, now, someone told me the article by Cooper is important. dr johnson: Well, yes, in a way, but just look at the last part, where he discusses the research results. And lastly, there’s Forster -I can’t think why I included that one. It’s not bad and could be of some help, but not that much.dr johnson: Now, let’s deal with the assignment question. What’s the problem there? melanie: It’s the graph on page two.dr johnson: What seems to be the problem? It’s just the bar graph showing reasons why people change where they live. melanie: Well, I’ve got a photocopy but the reasons at the bottom are missing.dr johnson: Ah, OK. Look at the first bar on the graph - now that indicates the number of people who move because they want more space. melanie: Oh I see ... bar one. OK ... Now what about the next bar?dr johnson: Bar two is to do with the people living nearby disturbing them, so they chose to move away to somewhere quieter. Now let’s look at bar number three ... another reason people change their place of living is because they want to be closer to the city. melanie: OK. Proximity to the city is an issue ...dr johnson: Now ... bar number four refers to problems when the owner of the property won’t help fix things that go wrong. In other words, the owner is not helpful and so the tenants move out. melanie: OK ... Now what about bar five?dr johnson: Bar five is about those people who move because they need a bus or train to get them into the city or to go to work. melanie: OK ... And bar six?dr johnson: Bar number six is interesting. That reason was given quite a lot –people moving because they wanted to be in a more attractive neighbourhood. melanie: Oh, yes, thank you very much.21．Melanie says she has not started the assignment becauseA．she was doing work for another course.B．it was a really big assignment.C．she hasn’t spent time in the library.正确答案：A22．The lecturer says that reasonable excuses for extensions areA．planning problems.B．problems with assignment deadlines.C．personal illness or accident.正确答案：CWhat recommendations does Dr Johnson make about the journal articles?Choose your answers from the box and write the letters A-G next to questions 23-27.A mustreadB usefulC limited valueD read first sectionE read research methodsF read conclusionG don’t readExample AnswerAnderson and Hawker: AJackson:【L23】______Roberts:【L24】______Morris:【L25】______Cooper:【L26】______Forster:【L27】______23．【L23】正确答案：E24．【L24】正确答案：B25．【L25】正确答案：G26．【L26】正确答案：F27．【L27】正确答案：CLabel the chart below.Choose your answers from the box below and write the letters A-H next to questions 28-30.

I have been asked today to talk to you about the urban landscape. There are two major areas that I will focus on in my talk: how vegetation can have a significant effect on urban climate, and how we can better plan our cities using trees to provide a more comfortable environment for us to live in. Trees can have a significant impact on our cities. They can make a city, as a whole, a bit less windy or a bit more windy, if that’s what you want. They can make it a bit cooler if it’s a hot summer day in an Australian city, or they can make it a bit more humid if it’s a dry inland city. On the local scale - that is, in particular areas within the city - trees can make the local area more shady, cooler, more humid and much less windy. In fact trees and planting of various kinds can be used to make city streets actually less dangerous in particular areas. How do trees do all that, you ask? Well, the main difference between a tree and a building is a tree has got an internal mechanism to keep the temperature regulated. It evaporates water through its leaves and that means that the temperature of the leaves is never very far from our own body temperature. The temperature of a building surface on a hot sunny day can easily be twenty degrees more than our temperature. Trees, on the other hand, remain cooler than buildings because they sweat. This means that they can humidify the air and cool it - a property which can be exploited to improve the local climate. Trees can also help break the force of winds. The reason that high buildings make it windier at ground level is that, as the wind goes higher and higher, it goes faster and faster. When the wind hits the building, it has to go somewhere. Some of it goes over the top and some goes around the sides of the building, forcing those high level winds down to ground level. That doesn’t happen when you have trees. Trees filter the wind and considerably reduce it. preventing those very large strong gusts that you so often find around tall buildings. Another problem in built-up areas is that traffic noise is intensified by tall buildings. By planting a belt of trees at the side of the road, you can make things a little quieter, but much of the vehicle noise still goes through the trees. Trees can also help reduce the amount of noise in the surroundings, although the effect is not as large as people like to think. Low-frequency noise, in particular, just goes through the trees as though they aren’t there. Although trees can significantly improve the local climate, they do however take up a lot of space. There are root systems to consider and branches blocking windows and so on. It may therefore be difficult to fit trees into the local landscape.

雅思（听力）模拟试卷82(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. Listening ModuleListening Module (30 minutes & 10 minutes transfer time)听力原文：You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear. There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work. All the recordings will be played once only. The test is in four sections. At the end of the test you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. Now turn to section 1.Section 1. You will hear a woman talking to a man about joining a drama club. First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Man: Hello. Robert Gladwell speaking.Woman: Oh hi. My name’s Chloe Martin. I was given your name and phone number by Ben Winters. I work with him and he said you’re a member of Midbury Drama Club.Man: Yes, I am.Woman: Well, I’ve just moved to the area and I’m keen to join a drama club.Man: Great! Yes, I can give you some information. We’re one of the oldest drama clubs in the area as(Example)the club started in 1957. We now have about 60 members. Our youngest member is ten and our oldest member is 78.The year the drama club started was 1957, so ‘1957’has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.[repeat]Woman: I think I saw a picture in the newspaper the other day of some of your members being presented with a prize.Man: Yes,(1)the youth section did very well in a competition and won ￡100 which will help with their next production. Anyway, tell me a bit more about yourself.Woman: Well, I’ve done a bit of acting. I was in a couple of musicals when I was at university and a historical play more recently.Man:(2)Mm ... we mainly do comedy plays. We get good audiences for that kind of thing. We haven’t attempted a musical yet, but we might do one soon.Woman: Oh! When do you usually meet?Man: On Tuesdays.Woman: Presumably I’ll need to do an audition?Man: Yes, there were a few auditions last Tuesday and we’ll be doing more at our next meeting which is in two weeks’ time, (3)that’s on Tuesday the 12th of March. There’ll be another opportunity two weeks after that which will be on the 26th of March.Woman: Oh, well I can come to your next meeting. And if I don’t get an acting part in a play, I’d be happy to help with something else. (4)I’ve designed publicity before.Man: Great! We’re very short of people who can do that, so that would be really good. There are a lot of people who like making scenery so we get plenty of help with that, but we haven’t got enough people to do the lights at the moment so if you think you can do that or you have any friends who would like to, do bring them along. We can show you what to do if you haven’t got any experience.Woman: Mm ... I’ll have to think about it. So do you meet in thetheatre?Man: We do our performances in The Manor Theatre but we only hire that for the nights of the actual performances.(5)We meet to rehearse every Tuesday evening in the community hall. We rent a room there.Woman: Oh, I’m not sure where that is. I’ll be coming by car because I don’t live in the town centre.Man: It’s in Ashburton Road. As you’re coming towards the centre down Regent Street, you need to turn left at the crossroads.Woman: Oh, I know, there’s a big car park down there, just before you get to a hotel.(6)It’s on the other side of the road from the sports centre.Man: That’s it. That’s the closest place to leave your car and you don’t have to pay in the evening to park there. We meet at 7.30 and we usually finish by 9.30 or 10.Woman: OK! Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.Man: I haven’t mentioned that we have to make a charge.(7)Everyone pays a subscription of ￡180 to be a member for a year. You can pay for the whole year at once or you can pay ￡15 every month. It works out the same. There are reductions for retired people and under-18s but I don’t think you come into either category?Woman: No. I’m 26!Man: Oh! That fee covers all the costs like photocopying of scripts and producing the posters but(8)it excludes the costumes for the performances. We ask people to pay for the hire of those themselves. It does mean they look after them properly as they know they won’t get their deposit back otherwise.Woman: Mm ... can I come along to the next meeting then?Man: Of course. We’d love to see you. And if you want to know more about how we run the auditions or the next play we’re doing, why don’t you give our secretary a ring? She’ll be really pleased to help you.Woman: What’s her name?Man: It’s Sarah Sawdicott.(9)That’s S-A-W-P-l-C-O double T.Woman: Got that. And her phone number?Man: I’ve only got a mobile number for her. Urn ... just a minute ... let me find it. Ah!(10)It’s 07955 240063.Woman: Great. Thanks for your help.Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.

First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.Fergus: And now here’s Jasmine, who’s come to tell us about this week’s charity.Jasmine: Hi Fergus. This week I’m going to talk about Forward thinking and their plans for the Colville Centre.So, in recent years people have realised how useful the arts can be within healthcare.(11)The idea behind Forward thinking is to use the arts to promote wellbeing. The charity develops projects for people with special needs and health problems, and also delivers training to healthcare professionals in using the arts, as well as supplying them with information and advice. Forward thinking doesn’t just run art and craft classes to distract people who are ill, or recovering from illness, but arranges longer-term projects and courses, as it’s been shown that the arts can bring all sorts of positive changes in patients, including(12)benefits such as shortening the length of stay in hospital and reducing the amounts of medicine they need.Fergus: I see.Jasmine: Forward thinking has experience of working with a broad range of people from young adults with learning difficulties to older people in homes or daycare centres, and people with physical disabilities.The organisation’s been around since 1986, and it gradually expanded during the 1990s. Then, in the new millennium, it was decided to find a memorable name,(13)so it’s been operating as Forward thinking for several years, er, in fact since 2005.It’s quite a locally based charity, mainly for people in(14)the southern part of this region, which includes all rural and urban communities outside the city of Clifton, which has its own organisation. There are of course some similar charities in other parts of the country, in London and so on.Fergus: Mm. And what’s the present fundraising in aid of?Jasmine: Yeah. Well, the charity needs funding in order to buy the Colville Centre. This is a former village school, which was built in 1868. It was modernised and refurbished by the present owners last year, so(15)it’s ideal for art classes and for small social events, performances, seminars and so on. Forward thinking is fund-raising to purchase the building so they can use it to continue running classes and so on for the general public and eventually also for some of the people they help.Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.Fergus: Right, so can you give us a few ideas about what classes people might do there? Is it all art classes?Jasmine: Urn, well, there are some very good art classes, but there are lots of other things going on as well. So, for example, there’s ‘Learn Salsa!’ with Nina Balina’s team. They say that salsa is an easy dance to learn. It’s also an excellent form of exercise, according to Nina, and(16)that class is for both men and women. of course. It’s ideal for beginners and what they call ‘refreshers’. That’s ￡100 for ten sessions.Then another class is called ‘Smooth Movers’. It’s with Kevin Bennett and(17)it’s for you if you don’t have the same energy levels as you used to when you were a teenager. It’s a gentle exercise class, geared to the needs of whoever is in the group in a particular session. And Kevin is qualified to teach classes to people getting over injuries and so on, and balancetraining. That’s ￡60 for ten sessions.Then there’s a day called ‘Art of the Forest’, with Jamie Graham, where you discover Upper Wood, a short walk from the Colville Centre, and learn how to design in 3-D with natural materials. It’s an unusual and exciting way to be creative.Jamie is an artist, with a background also as a country park ranger.(18)For this day, youngsters must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and the costs are: adults ￡40. under-14s ￡10. but it’s best value at ￡80 for a family of four.The next one is ‘The Money Maze’, and this is(19)a series of talks by Peter O’Reilly, an Independent Financial Adviser. He gives advice on family finances, things like everything parents need to know about managing the costs of bringing up children, sending them to university, and actually, also, about care for elderly relatives. It’s ￡10 per talk, which will all go to support Forward thinking.And as a final example of what’s on offer, there’s ‘Make a Play’.(20)That’s for 8-14s and this activity is such a hit that it usually sells out within days of being announced. Basically what you do is write, rehearse and perform a play in just two days and it doesn’t require any previous experience. I gather there’s lots of fun and silliness along the way and the best bit perhaps is that there’s a performance for family and friends at the end. It’s just ￡50 for two days.Fergus: Pretty good range of activities, I think. And all raising money for a good cause.Jasmine: Yes!

First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.Tutor: Now, Stefanand Lauren. You worked together on the assignment for your Urban Geography course, didn’t you? I know you made a plan of what you were going to do before you went on the field trip. Did you stick to it?Stefan: More or less!Tutor: OK. So where did you start?Stefan: Well, first of all we selected one area of the city to work in - we decided on the centre - and we looked in detail at how it has been developed by doing a uren: Yeah ...(21)We did that by walking round and dividing the area into different categories such as residential, commercial and industrial so we could record land use. We’re going to find some maps from 50 years ago and from 100 years ago so we can look at what has changed.Tutor: Good! So that gives you a foundation. Then what did you do?Stefan: Urn, I was interested in looking at how polluted the city uren: I thought that was too general a topic and would be difficult to check. But Stefan persuaded me and actually it was quite interesting because before we started, we assumed that a lot of the pollution problems would be caused by industry.Stefan: In fact, most of the industrial development has been on the outskirts and most pollution is caused by the traffic which passes through the city centre every day.(22)There are five major road junctions around the edge of the city so we set up equipment to check the air quality on each of those three times on one uren: In the morning and evening, which is when most journeys are made in and out of the city, and at 2.30 in the afternoon.Stefan:(23)On the same day, we went to the two busiest junctions in the morning and evening to calculate the traffic flow into the city.Tutor: Right.Stefan: We’ll be able to produce some graphs from the figures we uren: Yeah.Tutor: Presumably you then looked at where all these cars ended up?Lauren: I thought we should look at why people were coming into the city - um, whether it was for employment or education or leisure activities but Stefan thought that would be too difficult.Stefan: Because most people were in cars it would be hard to ask them.(24)So we decided to spend an afternoon examining the parking facilities available instead. We established the capacity of each car park and we spent an afternoon counting cars in and out so we have an idea of how long people spend in the city centre.Tutor: So do you have evidence that most journeys are made by car within the city centre?Stefan: We checked local government statistics to see if that was true but they were uren: Everything is quite close together in the city centre and there are wide pavements so you would expect people to walk from one place to another.Stefan: So we chose a number of locations and(25)we noted how many pedestrians passed a particular spot.Tutor: Urn, how did you choose where to do that?Stefan: Oh, we stood at two places in the business district, one in the shopping area and the other was in an area where there are more tourists.Tutor: uren: I thought it was really important to talk to people so we carried out a survey on how people usually travelled into the city.(26)We asked them about their usual means of transport.Stefan: We found out that it varied according to why people were travelling - if they were employed in the city they wanted to get there quickly but if they were coming in for their leisure time they didn’t mind using the uren: That’s all we had time for while we were there.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.Tutor: OK. So shall we talk aboutwhat you’re going to do next and how you’re going to divide the tasks up? How are you going to present the data you’ve got?Stefan: Well, some of the information can be presented as graphs or uren:(27)I’m quite good at the software.Stefan: You’d better do that then. Lauren. I’ll help you check all the statistics before you uren: OK.Tutor: Urn, it’s good to present as much as you can visually. Is there anything else you can use as visuals?Stefan: Mm ... we’ve got a lot of photographs which we can go through.Tutor: uren: Er, we both took them so some will be duplicated. It’s going to take ages to go through them all. Maybe one of us should just choose some.Tutor:(28)It’s better if you collaborate. That way you’ll end up with the best of what you’ve uren: That’s fine, we’ll do that.Tutor: And, er, when the graphs and maps are done,(29)you’ll need to write a report, an analysis of the data. Will you do that together?Stefan: I think that should be my responsibility if we’re going to share the work out evenly. I can use some of Lauren’s notes as well as my own.Tutor: OK. And finally, you’ll be presenting your project to the rest of the group in a couple of weeks’ uren: We thought it’d be better for Stefan to do that as he’s got more experience at that kind of thing.Tutor:(30)I would prefer to have input from both of you as I have to do an assessment.Stefan: We’ll take turns then. We’ll divide it into sections and talk about a few things each.Tutor: Good. You’ll find it easier, Lauren, than doing a presentation on your own. Well, if you need to ask me any more questions while you’re working on this, email me. I look forward to seeing what you uren and Stefan: Thanks!Complete the flow-chart below.Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-l, next to questions 21-26.A air qualityB journey timesC land useD leisure facilitiesE means of transportF parking facilitiesG number of pedestriansH places of employmentI traffic flow21．正确答案：C22．正确答案：A23．正确答案：I24．正确答案：F解析：Distraction They counted the cars but didn’t find out about other aspects such as journey times.25．正确答案：G26．正确答案：E解析：Distraction Employment and leisure are mentioned as reasons for people coming to the city but they didn’t ask questions about these.Who will be responsible for each task?A StefanB LaurenC both Stefan and LaurenWrite the correct letter next to questions 27-30.27．draw graphs and maps ______正确答案：B解析：Distraction Stefan will check the statistics but Lauren will draw the graphs and maps.28．choose photographs ______正确答案：C解析：Distraction Lauren says maybe one of them should choose the photographs but she changes her mind when the tutor disagrees with her.29．write report ______正确答案：A解析：Distraction Stefan rejects the tutor’s suggestion that they might write the report together.

First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[Pause the recording for one minute.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.Lecturer: Thank you for coming to this series of talks. Before I talk in detail about the experiments and innovations of the British ceramicists, I’d like to give you asummary of the social and manufacturing background in which they lived and worked. So, we’re talking about England, or more specifically, the region known as ‘The Midlands’, and we need to go back, mainly to the eighteenth century and, briefly, even earlier, to put it in a global context.Now, at that period(31)the majority of the population, whatever their station in life, as you might say, were dependent for their living, in one way or another, not on the geographical location of where they lived, but on the physical characteristics of the actual land they lived on. This is true, whether we’re talking about the aristocracy, the owners of great estates, who incidentally had no snobbery about the concept of making money from all the reserves of coal, or timber, or stone on their rolling acres, or the farmers making a fat living from the rich soils. And besides these groups, and the less affluent ones,(32)the deposits of iron ore and lead, the limestone and flint and the brown and yellow clays also sustained the numerous industries in the area.It’s important to recognise that it was already an industrial region, and had been so for centuries. There were many Midland trades, some of them indigenous, some of them not. For example,(33)there were immigrants from France who came as early as the late sixteenth century and they were producers of glass. A century later, there is plenty of evidence that the variety of trades was enormous: there was brewing in Burton-on-Trent; silk-weaving and ribbon-making near Coventry; framework knitting around Nottingham. And of course,(34)in Cheshire men dug the salt, as we still do nowadays even, which in that era was sent downriver to the estuary of the Mersey.Now, among these well-established trades, one of the oldest of the local crafts was pottery. As you will probably be aware, ceramics has always been a mix of science, design and skill, and a good potter is in a sense an experimental chemist, trying out new mixes and glazes, and needing to be alert to the impact of changes of temperature on different types of clay. For two hundred years, up to the time we are concerned with,(35)potters had been making butterpots and pitchers and patterned plates, using the clay which was plentiful in the area where they lived - in a handful of North Staffordshire villages dotted along the low hills.Now I want to explain a little about the industrial processes which had preceded the great breakthrough in Germany in 1708. That’s when the formula for porcelain was discovered, a secret that had been held in China for a thousand years. In the Midlands, in England, as elsewhere, there had basically been two kinds of pottery. The first was known, is still known, as ‘earthenware’.Now this was a bit rough and ready, but it was deservedly popular for several reasons. To start with, it was relatively cheap, so it could be used by most households. This was because(36)it could be made from local clay without any complicated processing or added materials.(37)From the potter’s point of view there was another reason for its cheapness. This was that it could be fired in simple ovens, or kilns, and at relatively low temperatures, so he didn’t have to spend so much money on fuel to achieve the necessary heat. On the other hand, after one firing in the kiln, the problem with earthenware was that it remained porous so had limited usefulness. So for most purposes(38)it had to go back in the kiln for a second firing before it became waterproof.And another thing was that it was extremely breakable - I mean, before it had even been sold. I suppose the potter wouldn’t have minded so much if people justhad to keep coming back for more every time they broke a jug or whatever! - but it was very inconvenient because it meant there was a lot of(39)wastage in the course of the manufacturing process.Anyway, for all these reasons, if people could afford it, and that would be all but the very poor, they would buy(40)stoneware, a much tougher product.Now, for this, the potter used a slightly more expensive raw material, which was made by combining clay and flint and this mixture was fired at a far higher heat, with the result that the ingredients vitrified, that is to say, in effect the whole thing became glassy and because of this it was non-porous, and naturally, this was regarded as a great advance.Well, that’s the situation in the eighteenth century. Are there any questions at this stage? OK. So, now we can go on to look at the age of innovation.Complete the sentences below.Write ONL Y ONE WORD for each answer.
