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! And the all-important contact details are:****************************.ukorwritetome...11．What does the charity Forward thinking do?A．It funds art exhibitions in hospitals.B．It produces affordable materials for art therapy.C．It encourages the use of arts projects in healthcare.正确答案：C12．What benefit of Forward thinking’s work does Jasmine mention?A．People avoid going to hospital.B．Patients require fewer drugs.C．Medical students do better in tests.正确答案：B解析：Distraction ‘benefits such as shortening the length of stay in hospital’13．When did the organisation become known as Forward thinking?A．1986B．in the 1990sC．2005正确答案：C解析：Distraction ‘The organisation’s been around since 1986, and it gradually expanded during the 1990s.’14．Where does Forward thinking operate?A．within Clifton cityB．in all parts of LondonC．in several towns and villages near Clifton正确答案：C解析：Distraction ‘There are of course some similar charities in other parts of the country, in London and so on.’15．Jasmine explains that the Colville Centre isA．a school for people with health problems.B．a venue for a range of different activities.C．a building which needs repairing.正确答案：B解析：Distraction ‘This is a former village school...

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.

Within the city of Bath it occupies modern buildings in a landscaped garden on Sion hill, Lansdown and an adjacent Georgian Crescent, Somerset Crescent, which includes teaching and residential accommodation for post-graduate studies. It also occupies three houses in Sydney Place, which are used for studio and workshop accommodation for part-time courses in the Visual Arts and for the Foundation Course in Art and Design.The Newton Park site is situated four miles west of Bath between the villages of Newton St Loe and Corston. Within the grounds are a Georgian mansion, where the college‘s sentral administration is located, an Elizabethan dairy, stables and the tower of a medieval manor house; all these older buildings have been adapted to present-day use. A new purpose-built Home Economics block was opened in January 1985. During 1986 a new Sports Hall will be completed and new residential blocks are under construction to be completed ready for the start of the academic year in September 1986; a new music Block will be completed in 1987.The Art and Design degree courses which are currently accommodated at Corsham, about nine miles east of Bath, will be moved to the Sion Hill site in Bath by September 1986 thus reinforcing Faculty and Course links.The college courses are designed to take advantage of the special opportunities and circumstances provided by its environment. Students have available such resources as the Costume and Fashion Research Centre, the Royal Photographic Centre and the Museum of American Domestic Life at Claverton. Concerts and recitals, including some given by staff and students, take place throughout the year in the Assembly Rooms. The college uses buildings in five different places.

For more than Games were held, every four years, on hallowed ground near Mount Olympus, where the Greek gods were said to live.The ‗Olympics‘ brought together men from war-torn tribes and states in Greece and its colonies. A sacred truce was declared to allow men to travel to the games in safety. Women could not take part and were forbidden, on pain of death, even to attend the Games.The ancient Olympics were abolished by the Roman Emperor Theodosius in 393 AD, after Greece had lost its independence. But the idea never died and the Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin, an educator and scholar, founded the modern Olympics,his aim was to bring together, once every four years, athletes from all countries on the friendly fields of amateur sport. No account was to be taken of national rivalries, nor politics, race, religion, wealth or social status.The first modern Games were held in Athens in 1896, and four years later, in Paris, women began to take part. Although the winter Olympics did not begin until 1924, figure skating was part of the 1908 London summer Olympics; both skating and ice hockey were included in the Antwerp Games in 1920. But generally winter sports were felt to be too specialized. Only cold weather countries had much experience of activities such as skiing-a means of transport overland across ice and snow during long winters.The Scandinavians, for whom skiing is a part of everyday life, had objected to a winter fames. They feared it would threaten their own Nordic Games, which had been held every four years since 1901. But the international Olympic Committee (IOC) agreed to stage an International Sports Week in Chamonix, France, in 1924.It was a success and the Scandinavians won 28 of the 43 medals, including nine golds. They dropped their objections and the event was retrospectively named the First Olympic Winter Games.Apart from the Second World War period the Winter Olympics were held every four years, a few months before the summer Olympics. But in 1986 the IOC changed the schedule so that the summer and winter games would be held in different years. Thus, for the only time in history, the Lillehammer (Norway) Games took place just two years after the previous Winter Olympics which were held in Albertville, France.Since the Winter Games began, 55 out of 56 gold medals in the men‘s nordic skiing events have been won by competitors from Scandinavia or the former Soviet Union. For teams from warm weather countries, cross-country skiing can pose problems. At the Calgary Games in 1988, one competitor in the 50-kilometre event was so slow that race officials feared he was lost and sent out a search party. Roberto Alvarez of Mexico had never skied more than 20 kilometres before and finished 61st and last 52 minutes behind the 60th place.Questions 28-31Complete the table below. Write a date for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 28-31 on your answer sheetDATE EVENT(28)Ancient Olympics came to an end(29)First women‘s eventsExample: 1901 First Nordic Games(30)First winter team game included in Olympics(31)First Winter Olympic GamesQuestions 32-38Look at the following statements.

Come in. How are you settling in next door? Have all your things from Canada arrived yet? I thought I saw a removals van outside your house yesterday afternoon.MRS SUTTON: Yes. They came yesterday. We spent all day yesterday arranging them. It’s beginning to feel a bit more like home now.MRS SMITH: That’s good. Look, come in and sit down. Are you alright? You look a bit worried.MRS SUTTON: Well, I am a bit. I’m sorry to bother you so early, Mrs Smith, but I wonder if you could help me. Could you tell me how I can get hold of a doctor? Our daughter, Anna, isn’t very well this morning and I may have Q11 to call somebody out. She keeps being sick and I am beginning to get a bit worried. I just don’t know how the health system works here in England. All I know is that it’s very different from ours back in Canada.MRS SMITH: Well, I don’t know really where to start. Let me think. Well, the first thing you have to do is find a family doctor sometimes we call them general practitioners as well - and register with him or her. If you live here, you’ve got to be on a doctor’s list. If you’re not, things can be a bit difficult. Nobody will come out to you if you’re not registered. Anyway, they work Q12 in things called practices. Sort of small groups of family doctors all working together in the same building. Now what you’ve got to do this morning is register with one of them. There are two practices near here, so we’re quite well off for doctors in this part of Manchester. There’s the Dean End Health Centre about ten minutes’ walk away and there’s another practice in South Hay. That’s about five minutes away going towards the town centre. We’re registered at the Dean End one, but they’re both OK. There are about six doctors in Q13 our practice and four in the other. So ours is quite big in comparison. Q14 And the building and everything’s a bit more modern. South Hay is a bit old-fashioned but the doctors are OK. Their only problem is that they Q15 don’t have a proper appointment system. Sometimes you have to wait for ages there to see someone. Anyway, you go to the receptionist in whichever health centre and ask her to register you with a doctor there. You have to fill in a form, but it doesn’t take long. Ours is called Dr Jones and we’ve been going to him for years - ever since we moved here fifteen years ago. I wouldn’t say he’s brilliant but I suppose he’s alright really. We’re used to him now. They say Q16 he’s very good with elderly people, but he does tend to get a bit impatient with children. Listen, the one who’s supposed to be really good with small children is Dr Shaw. I’ve heard lots of people say that. She’s young and she’s got small children of her own. So you could try registering with her. And if her list is full,I heard somebody say the other day that there’s a really nice young doctor at South Hay, a Dr Williams. He holds special Q17 clinics for people with back trouble. But that’s not really your problem, is it?MRS SMITH: If you want a doctor to visit you at home, you have to ask for a home visit. You’re supposed to do that before 10.30 in the morning, but obviously, if it’s an emergency, you can phone at any time, night or day. It might not be your doctor that comes, though. It’s quite often one of the other doctors in the practice. It doesn’t really seem to make much difference. Otherwise you make an appointment to see your doctor at the health centre. You usually get seen the same day. Not always of course, but usually, as I say. They hold surgeries between 9 and 11.30 every weekday, Q18 and from 4 to 6.30 Monday to Thursday. Saturdays are only for emergencies. When the doctor sees you, he gives you a prescription. He writes what medication you need on it and you take it to a chemist’s shop. There’s one opposite the centre. If it’s for a child under 16, you don’t have to pay. So if it’s for Anna, there’s no problem. The same thing goes if you’re unemployed or retired, Q19 or if you’re pregnant. Just as well because it’s not cheap. You pay the same price for each item the doctor has prescribed. At the moment it’s Q20 something like ￡5 per item. So you pay for the medication but the consultation with the doctor doesn’t cost you anything. It’s completely free as long as you’re a resident here. You’re going to be here for three years, aren’t you? So there shouldn’t be any question of you paying anything to see the doctor. So that’s one less problem to worry about. Look, Mrs Sutton. If you want, I’ll sit with your daughter for half an hour if you want to go down to the health centre to register. It’s no trouble really, don’t worry.MRS SUTTON: Are you sure you wouldn’t mind? That would really help me a lot. I’ll ask them if they can send someone round later to see Anna. I think I’ll try the Dean End Centre.MRS SMITH: Good idea. Don’t worry about Anna.MRS SUTTON: Right. I’ll be back as soon as I can.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11 and 12Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.11．Who is Mrs Sutton worried about?正确答案：(her) daughter (Anna)12．What is the name for a group of family doctors working in the same building together?正确答案：(a) practiceQuestions 13-17Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS OR A NUMBER for each answer.13．【13】正确答案：(about) 614．【14】正确答案：(about) 415．【15】正确答案：better16．【16】正确答案：elderly17．【17】正确答案：back problems/troubleQuestions 18-20Question 18Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR A NUMBER.Doctors start seeing patients at the Health Centre from 【18】______ o’clock.18．【18】正确答案：nine/9 o’clock19．Question 19Choose TWO letters A-E.Which TWO groups of patients receive free medication?[A]people over 17 years old[B]unemployed people[C]non-UK residents[D]people over 60 years old[E]pregnant women正确答案：B/E20．Question 20Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR A NUMBER.The charge for one item of medication is about ￡【20】______正确答案：(￡) 5听力原文：TUTOR: Hello.

Paula...PAULA CLAYBURG: Do you know what Prince Charles, Seve Ballesteros and Elizabeth Taylor have in common? They all suffer from chronic back pain. In fact, bad backs are one of the most common health problems today, affecting people in all walks of life. The most recent available figures show that about a quarter of a million people are incapacitated with 【Q31】back pain every day. And many sufferers don’t know the cause or the solution to their problem. The majority of our patients at the clinic tend to be women. They are especially vulnerable because of pregnancy but also because of osteoporosis, which I personally believe to be the major cause of problems for women. I have many women patients who say they have 【Q32】completely given up exercise because the pain makes them so miserable. But of course that starts up a vicious circle. Bedrest, giving up exercise and pain killers are traditional responses to back pain but, although there are many excellent drugs on the market, at our clinic we are beginning to realise the unique benefits of relaxation therapy. Other 【Q33】specialists in the field make a strong case for certain types of exercise, but in our experience they are easily mishandled and can lead to more harm than good. Now, let’s look at some of the reasons why back pain is developing into such a unique menace. In general, the body is pretty good at self- repair. A strain or a blow to a limb, though painful at the time, generally resolves itself. But the body’s response to back injury can be very counter-productive. When pain strikes, we attempt to keep the 【Q34】back as immobile as possible, which makes the muscles tense up. Research shows that they often go into spasm, which causes further twisting of the spine. A vicious circle is underway. The second mistake we often make when stricken with extreme back pain is to go to bed and stay there. Although at the clinic we recognise that a short rest in bed can be helpful.., up to two days.., any longer 【Q35】makes our back muscles become weaker and unable to hold up our spine. The pain therefore becomes worse. Another problem is being overweight. Anyone a stone or more over- 【Q36】weight who already has back pain is not doing himself any favours: though it won’t actually set it off in the first place, the weight will increase the strain and make things worse. The British diet could be partially to blame for the increase in back pain: over the last ten years the average weight of men has risen by 11 lbs and of women by 9 lbs. So much for the causes and aggravations of pain. But what can WE do to help? There are many ways in which simple day-to-day care can make all the difference. The first point to watch of course is weight. If you are overweight, a diet will make all the difference. Also, studies have shown that just one hour sitting in a slouched position can strain ligaments in the back which can take months to heal. At the clinic we have come to the conclusion that the major cause of the problem is not with the design of chairs, as some have suggested, but in the way WE sit in them. It can be useful to get special orthopaedic 【Q37】chairs, but remember the most important improvement should be in OUR posture. Another enemy of your back is, of course, your beds. If your bed doesn’t give enough support, back muscles and ligaments work all night trying to correct spinal alignment, so you wake up with a tired aching back. Try out an orthopaedic mattress or a spring slatted bed. Research shows that both can be beneficial for certain types of back pain. Another hazard for your back are the shock waves which travel up your spine when you walk, known as heel strike. A real find for our patients has been the shock-absorbing shoe insert. A cheap but very 【Q38】effective solution. And you might be better off avoiding shoes with heels higher than 1 1/2A inches. Though absolutely flat shoes can be a solution for some, others find their posture suffers. 【Q39】Finally a word about the state-of-the-art relief - the TENS machine - a small battery-powered gadget which delivers subliminal electrical pulses to the skin. Our experience indicates that your money is better 【Q40】spent on the more old-fashioned remedies.SECTION 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-36Choose the correct letters A-C.31．Which column of the bar chart represents the figures quoted?A．AB．BC．C正确答案：A32．According to the speaker, the main cause of back pain in women is ______.A．pregnancy.B．osteoporosis.C．lack of exercise正确答案：B33．As treatment for back pain the Clinic mainly recommends ______.A．pain killers.B．relaxation therapy.C．exercise routines.正确答案：B34．The back is different from other parts of the body because ______.A．it is usually better at self-repair.B．a back injury is usually more painful.C．its response to injury often results in more damage.正确答案：C35．Bed rest is advised ______.A．for a maximum of two days.B．for extreme pain only.C．for pain lasting more than two days.正确答案：A36．Being overweight ______.A．is a major source of back pain.B．worsens existing back pain.C．reduces the effectiveness of exercise.正确答案：BQuestions 37-40Choose the correct letters A-C.[A] Strongly recommended[B] Recommended in certain circumstances[C] Not recommended37．Buy special orthopaedic chairs A．Strongly recommended B．Recommended in certain circumstances C．Not recommended正确答案：B38．Buy shock-absorbing inserts A．Strongly recommended B．Recommended in certain circumstances C．Not recommended正确答案：A39．Wear flat shoesA．Strongly recommended B．Recommended in certain circumstances C．Not recommended正确答案：B40．Buy TENS machineA．Strongly recommended B．Recommended in certain circumstances C．Not recommended正确答案：C。

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. They cover all the different skills - buying them, sharpening, chopping Q10 techniques. It gets booked up quickly though so you’d need to check it was available.WOMAN: Right, wellthank you very much.

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.

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? Are you planning to fail?A: No, but well, you know what I mean.M: The re-sits are held in September and if there is any problem after that, it goes to appeal.A: We’ll just have to make sure we don’t fail any part of the whole examination. I certainly wouldn’t want to do any of it again.M: Me neither. It’s hard when you are not allowed to fail any of the exams.A: I bet they don’t have that policy in any other subject.M: Probably not.Choose the correct letter A, B or C.21．In the practice exams, the students didA．two exams altogether.B．seven exams in total.C．eleven exams in total.正确答案：B22．Adam thinks that essay papers areA．inappropriate for assessing theoretical medical knowledge.B．not good for assessing practical medical knowledge.C．good for testing theoretical medical knowledge.正确答案：A23．Mary criticises multiple-choice questions, becauseA．they require detailed instructions.B．they benefit women more than men.C．they favour men rather than women.正确答案：CChoose TWO letters A-E.Which TWO aspects of the role-play examination are mentioned?A the rest stationsB 24 test stationsC the recordingD the examinersE the simulated patients正确答案：24．A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：B，E25．A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：B，EComplete the summary below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.In the problem-solving tests, students had to work in groups of four people and 【L26】______to solve a problem.

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.

雅思（阅读）模拟试卷76(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below. The life and work of Marie CurieMarie Curie is probably the most famous woman scientist who has ever lived. Born Maria Sklodowska in Poland in 1867, she is famous for her work on radioactivity, and was twice a winner of the Nobel Prize. With her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel, she was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics, and was then sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. From childhood, Marie was remarkable for her prodigious memory, and at the age of 16 won a gold medal on completion of her secondary education. Because her father lost his savings through bad investment, she then had to take work as a teacher. From her earnings she was able to finance her sister Bronia’s medical studies in Paris, on the understanding that Bronia would, in turn, later help her to get an education. In 1891 this promise was fulfilled and Marie went to Paris and began to study at the Sorbonne (the University of Paris). She often worked far into the night and lived on little more than bread and butter and tea. She came first in the examination in the physical sciences in 1893, and in 1894 was placed second in the examination in mathematical sciences. It was not until the spring of that year that she was introduced to Pierre Curie. Their marriage in 1895 marked the start of a partnership that was soon to achieve results of world significance. Following Henri Becquerel’s discovery in 1896 of a new phenomenon, which Marie later called ‘radioactivity’, Marie Curie decided to find out if the radioactivity discovered in uranium was to be found in other elements. She discovered that this was true for thorium. Turning her attention to minerals, she found her interest drawn to pitchblende, a mineral whose radioactivity, superior to that of pure uranium, could be explained only by the presence in the ore of small quantities of an unknown substance of very high activity. Pierre Curie joined her in the work that she had undertaken to resolve this problem, and that led to the discovery of the new elements, polonium and radium. While Pierre Curie devoted himself chiefly to the physical study of the new radiations, Marie Curie struggled to obtain pure radium in the metallic state. This was achieved with the help of the chemist Andre-Louis Debierne, one of Pierre Curie’s pupils. Based on the results of this research, Marie Curie received her Doctorate of Science, and in 1903 Marie and Pierre shared with Becquerel the Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery of radioactivity. The births of Marie’s two daughters, Irene and Eve, in 1897 and 1904 failed to interrupt her scientific work. She was appointed lecturer in physics at the Ecole Normale Superieure for girls in Sevres, France (1900), and introduced a method of teaching based on experimental demonstrations. In December 1904 she was appointed chief assistant in the laboratory directed by Pierre Curie. The sudden death of her husband in 1906 was a bitterblow to Marie Curie, but was also a turning point in her career: henceforth she was to devote all her energy to completing alone the scientific work that they had undertaken. On May 13, 1906, she was appointed to the professorship that had been left vacant on her husband’s death, becoming the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne. In 1911 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the isolation of a pure form of radium. During World War I, Marie Curie, with the help of her daughter Irene, devoted herself to the development of the use of X-radiography, including the mobile units which came to be known as little Curies’, used for the treatment of wounded soldiers. In 1918 the Radium Institute, whose staff Irene had joined, began to operate in earnest, and became a centre for nuclear physics and chemistry. Marie Curie, now at the highest point of her fame and, from 1922, a member of the Academy of Medicine, researched the chemistry of radioactive substances and their medical applications. In 1921, accompanied by her two daughters, Marie Curie made a triumphant journey to the United States to raise funds for research on radium. Women there presented her with a gram of radium for her campaign. Marie also gave lectures in Belgium, Brazil, Spain and Czechoslovakia and, in addition, had the satisfaction of seeing the development of the Curie Foundation in Paris, and the inauguration in 1932 in Warsaw of the Radium Institute, where her sister Bronia became director. One of Marie Curie’s outstanding achievements was to have understood the need to accumulate intense radioactive sources, not only to treat illness but also to maintain an abundant supply for research. The existence in Paris at the Radium Institute of a stock of 1.5 grams of radium made a decisive contribution to the success of the experiments undertaken in the years around 1930. This work prepared the way for the discovery of the neutron by Sir James Chadwick and, above all, for the discovery in 1934 by Irene and Frederic Joliot-Curie of artificial radioactivity. A few months after this discovery, Marie Curie died as a result of leukaemia caused by exposure to radiation. She had often carried test tubes containing radioactive isotopes in her pocket, remarking on the pretty blue-green light they gave off. Her contribution to physics had been immense, not only in her own work, the importance of which had been demonstrated by her two Nobel Prizes, but because of her influence on subsequent generations of nuclear physicists and chemists.Questions 1-6Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this 1．Marie Curie’s husband was a joint winner of both Marie’s Nobel Prizes.A．TRUEB．FALSEC．NOT GIVEN正确答案：B2．Marie became interested in science when she was a child.A．TRUEB．FALSEC．NOT GIVEN正确答案：C3．Marie was able to attend the Sorbonne because of her sister’s financial contribution.A．TRUEB．FALSEC．NOT GIVEN正确答案：A4．Marie stopped doing research for several years when her children were born.A．TRUEB．FALSEC．NOT GIVEN正确答案：B5．Marie took over the teaching position her husband had held.A．TRUEB．FALSEC．NOT GIVEN正确答案：A6．Marie’s sister Bronia studied the medical uses of radioactivity.A．TRUEB．FALSEC．NOT GIVEN正确答案：CComplete the notes below.Choose ONE WORD from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 7-13 on your answer sheet.

Young children’s sense of identityA A sense of self develops in young children by degrees. The process can usefully be thought of in terms of the gradual emergence of two somewhat separate features: the self as a subject, and the self as an object. William James introduced the distinction in 1892, and contemporaries of his, such as Charles Cooley, added to the developing debate. Ever since then psychologists have continued building on the theory.B According to James, a child’s first step on the road to self-understanding can be seen as the recognition that he or she exists. This is an aspect of the self that he labelled ‘self-as-subject’, and he gave it various elements. These included an awareness ofone’s own agency (i.e. one’s power to act), and an awareness of one’s distinctiveness from other people. These features gradually emerge as infants explore their world and interact with caregivers. Cooley (1902) suggested that a sense of the self-as-subject was primarily concerned with being able to exercise power. He proposed that the earliest examples of this are an infant’s attempts to control physical objects, such as toys or his or her own limbs. This is followed by attempts to affect the behaviour of other people. For example, infants learn that when they cry or smile someone responds to them.C Another powerful source of information for infants about the effects they can have on the world around them is provided when others mimic them. Many parents spend a lot of time, particularly in the early months, copying their infant’s vocalizations and expressions. In addition, young children enjoy looking in mirrors, where the movements they can see are dependent upon their own movements. This is not to say that infants recognize the reflection as their own image (a later development). However, Lewis and Brooks-Gunn (1979) suggest that infants’developing understanding that the movements they see in the mirror are contingent on their own, leads to a growing awareness that they are distinct from other people. This is because they, and only they, can change the reflection in the mirror.D This understanding that children gain of themselves as active agents continues to develop in their attempts to co-operate with others in play. Dunn (1988) points out that it is in such day-to-day relationships and interactions that the child’s understanding of his- or herself emerges. Empirical investigations of the self-as-subject in young children are, however, rather scarce because of difficulties of communication: even if young infants can reflect on their experience, they certainly cannot express this aspect of the self directly.E Once children have acquired a certain level of self-awareness, they begin to place themselves in a whole series of categories, which together play such an important part in defining them uniquely as ‘themselves’. This second step in the development of a full sense of self is what James called the ‘self-as-object’. This has been seen by many to be the aspect of the self which is most influenced by social elements, since it is made up of social roles (such as student, brother, colleague) and characteristics which derive their meaning from comparison or interaction with other people (such as trustworthiness, shyness, sporting ability).F Cooley and other researchers suggested a close connection between a person’s own understanding of their identity and other people’s understanding of it. Cooley believed that people build up their sense of identity from the reactions of others to them, and from the view they believe others have of them. He called the self-as-object the ‘looking-glass self, since people come to see themselves as they are reflected in others. Mead (1934) went even further, and saw the self and the social world as inextricably bound together: “The self is essentially a social structure, and it arises in social experience ... it is impossible to conceive of a self arising outside of social experience.’G Lewis and Brooks-Gunn argued that an important developmental milestone is reached when children become able to recognize themselves visually without the support of seeing contingent movement. This recognition occurs around their second birthday. In one experiment, Lewis and Brooks-Gunn (1979) dabbed some red powder on the noses of children who were playing in front of a mirror, and then observed how often they touched theirnoses. The psychologists reasoned that if the children knew what they usually looked like, they would be surprised by the unusual red mark and would start touching it. On the other hand, they found that children of 15 to 18 months are generally not able to recognize themselves unless other cues such as movement are present.H Finally, perhaps the most graphic expressions of self-awareness in general can be seen in the displays of rage which are most common from 18 months to 3 years of age. In a longitudinal study of groups of three or four children, Bronson (1975) found that the intensity of the frustration and anger in their disagreements increased sharply between the ages of 1 and 2 years. Often, the children’s disagreements involved a struggle over a toy that none of them had played with before or after the tug-of-war: the children seemed to be disputing ownership rather than wanting to play with it. Although it may be less marked in other societies, the link between the sense of ‘self and of ‘ownership’is a notable feature of childhood in Western societies.Questions 14-19Reading Passage 2 has eight paragraphs, A-H.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter, A-H, in boxes 14-19 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.14．an account of the method used by researchers in a particular study正确答案：G15．the role of imitation in developing a sense of identity正确答案：C16．the age at which children can usually identify a static image of themselves 正确答案：G17．a reason for the limitations of scientific research into ‘self-as-subject’正确答案：D18．reference to a possible link between culture and a particular form of behaviour正确答案：H19．examples of the wide range of features that contribute to the sense of ‘self-as-object’正确答案：ELook at the following findings (Questions 20-23) and the list of researchers below.Match each finding with the correct researcher or researchers, A-E.Write the correct letter, A-E, in boxes 20-23 on your answer sheetList of ResearchersA JamesB CooleyC Lewis and Brooks-GunnD MeadE Bronson20．A sense of identity can never be formed without relationships with other people.正确答案：D21．A child’s awareness of self is related to a sense of mastery over things and people.正确答案：B22．At a certain age, children’s sense of identity leads to aggressive behaviour.正确答案：E23．Observing their own reflection contributes to children’s self awareness.正确答案：CComplete the summary below.Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 24-26 on your answer sheet.

In Western societies at least, the development of self awareness is often linked to a sense of【R26】______, and can lead to disputes.24．【R24】正确答案：mirror25．【R25】正确答案：communication26．【R26】正确答案：ownershipThe Development ofMuseumsA The conviction that historical relics provide infallible testimony about the past is rooted in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when science was regarded as objective and value free. As one writer observes: ‘Although it is now evident that artefacts are as easily altered as chronicles, public faith in their veracity endures: a tangible relic seems ipso facto real.’Such conviction was, until recently, reflected in museum displays. Museums used to look - and some still do - much like storage rooms of objects packed together in showcases: good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences in design, but not for the ordinary visitor, to whom it all looked alike. Similarly, the information accompanying the objects often made little sense to the lay visitor. The content and format of explanations dated back to a time when the museum was the exclusive domain of the scientific researcher.B Recently, however, attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have altered. The key word in heritage display is now’experience’, the more exciting the better and, if possible, involving all the senses. Good examples of this approach in the UK are the Jorvik Centre in York; the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford; and the Imperial War Museum in London. In the US the trend emerged much earlier: Williamsburg has been a prototype for many heritage developments in other parts of the world. No one can predict where the process will end. On so-called heritage sites the re-enactment of historical events is increasingly popular, and computers will soon provide virtual reality experiences, which will present visitors with a vivid image of the period of their choice, in which they themselves can act as if part of the historical environment. Such developments have been criticised as an intolerable vulgarisation, but the success of many historical theme parks and similar locations suggests that the majority of the public does not share this opinion.C In a related development, the sharp distinction between museum and heritage sites on the one hand, and theme parks on the other, is gradually evaporating. They already borrow ideas and concepts from one another. For example, museums have adopted story lines for exhibitions, sites have accepted ‘theming’as a relevant tool, and theme parks are moving towards more authenticity and research-based presentations. In zoos, animals are no longer kept in cages, but in great spaces, either in the open air or in enormous greenhouses, such as the jungle and desert environments in Burgers’Zoo in Holland. This particular trend is regarded as one of the major developments in the presentation of natural history in the twentieth century.D Theme parks are undergoing other changes, too, as they try to present more serious social and cultural issues, and move away from fantasy. This development is a response to market forces and, although museums and heritage sites have a special, rather distinct, role to fulfil, they are also operating in a very competitive environment, where visitors make choices on how and where to spend their free time. Heritage and museum experts do not have to invent stories and recreate historical environments to attract their visitors: their assets are already inplace. However, exhibits must be both based on artefacts and facts as we know them, and attractively presented. Those who are professionally engaged in the art of interpreting history are thus in a difficult position, as they must steer a narrow course between the demands of ‘evidence’and ‘attractiveness’, especially given the increasing need in the heritage industry for income-generating activities.E It could be claimed that in order to make everything in heritage more ‘real’, historical accuracy must be increasingly altered. For example, Pithecanthropus erectus is depicted in an Indonesian museum with Malay facial features, because this corresponds to public perceptions. Similarly, in the Museum of Natural History in Washington, Neanderthal man is shown making a dominant gesture to his wife. Such presentations tell us more about contemporary perceptions of the world than about our ancestors. There is one compensation, however, for the professionals who make these interpretations: if they did not provide the interpretation, visitors would do it for themselves, based on their own ideas, misconceptions and prejudices. And no matter how exciting the result, it would contain a lot more bias than the presentations provided by experts.F Human bias is inevitable, but another source of bias in the representation of history has to do with the transitory nature of the materials themselves. The simple fact is that not everything from history survives the historical process. Castles, palaces and cathedrals have a longer lifespan than the dwellings of ordinary people. The same applies to the furnishings and other contents of the premises. In a town like Leyden in Holland, which in the seventeenth century was occupied by approximately the same number of inhabitants as today, people lived within the walled town, an area more than five times smaller than modern Leyden. In most of the houses several families lived together in circumstances beyond our imagination. Yet in museums, fine period rooms give only an image of the lifestyle of the upper class of that era. No wonder that people who stroll around exhibitions are filled with nostalgia; the evidence in museums indicates that life was so much better in the past. This notion is induced by the bias in its representation in museums and heritage centres.Reading Passage 3 has six paragraphs, A-F.Choose the correct heading for paragraphs B-E from the list of headings below.Write the correct number, i-vii, in boxes 27-30 on your answer sheet.

Can you tell me if they’re still available?Mrs. Blake: We’ve sold one, but we still have two available.Conor: Right. Er... can you tell me a bit about them?Mrs. Blake: Sure, er... what do you want to know?Conor: Well, I’m looking for something to fit in my study, so, well, I’m not too worried about the height, but the width’s quite important. Can you tell me how wide each of them is?Mrs. Blake: They’re both exactly the same size. Let me see, I’ve got the details written down somewhere. Yes, so they’re both 75 cm wide and 180 cm high.Conor: OK, fine, that should fit in OK. And I don’t want anything that looks too severe... not made of metal, for example. I was really looking for something made of wood.Mrs. Blake: That’s all right, they are, both of them.Conor: So, are they both the same price as well?Mrs. Blake: No, the first bookcase is quite a bit cheaper. It’s just ￡15.00. We paid ￡60.00 for it just five years ago, so it’s very good value. It’s in perfectly good condition. They’re both in very good condition in fact, but the first one isn’t the same quality as the other one. It’s a good sturdy bookcase, it used to be in my son’s room, but it could do with a fresh coat of paint...Conor: Oh, it’s painted?Mrs. Blake: Yes, it’s cream at present, but as I say you could easily change that if you wanted... to fit in with your colour scheme.Conor: Yes, I’d probably paint it white if I got it. Let’s see, what else... how many shelves has it got?Mrs. Blake: Six—two of them are fixed, and the other four are adjustable, so you can shift them up and down according to the sizes of your books.Conor: Right, fine. Well that certainly sounds like a possibility.Mrs. Blake: But the second one’s a lovely bookcase too. That’s not painted, it’s just the natural wood colour, a dark brown. It was my grandmother’s, and I think she bought it sometime in the 1930s, so I’d say it must be getting on for eighty years old, it’s very good quality, they don’t make them like that nowadays.Conor: And you said it’s the same dimensions as the first one.Mrs. Blake: Yes, and it’s got the six shelves, but it also has a cupboard at the bottom that’s really useful for keeping odds and ends in.Conor: Right.Mrs. Blake: Oh, and I nearly forgot to say, the other thing about it is it’s got glass doors, so the books are all kept out of the dust. So it’s really good value for the money. I’m really sorry to be selling it, but we just don’t have the room for it.Conor: Mmm. So what are you asking for that one?Mrs. Blake: ￡95.00. It’s quite a bit more, but it’s a lovely piece of furniture—a real heirloom.Conor: Yes... all the same, it’s a lot more than I wanted to pay... I didn’t really want to go above thirty or forty. Anyway, the first one sounds fine for what I need.Mrs. Blake: Just as you like.Conor: So is it all right if I come round and have a look this evening, then if it’s OK I can take it away with me?Mrs. Blake: Of course. So you’ll be coming by car, will you?Conor: I’ve got a friend with a van, so I’ll get him to bring me round, if you canjust give me the details of where you live.Mrs. Blake: Sure. I’m Mrs. Blake...Conor: B-L-A-K-E?Mrs. Blake: That’s right, and the address is 41 Oak Rise, that’s in Stanton.Conor: OK... so I’ll be coming from the town centre. Can you give me an idea of where you are?Mrs. Blake: Yes, you know the road that goes out towards the university.Conor: Yes.Mrs. Blake: Well, you take that road, and you go on till you get to a roundabout, go straight on. then Oak Rise is the first road to the right.Conor: Out towards the university, past the roundabout, first left?Mrs. Blake: First right. And we’re at the end of the road.Conor: Got it. So I’ll be round at about 7.00, if that’s all right. Oh, and my name’s Conor. Conor Field.Mrs. Blake: Fine. I’ll see you then, Conor.

Neil, tell us all about it. Neil: Well, Diane, this looks like being the biggest art sale yet, and the best thing about it is that the money raised will all go to charity. So what you probably want to know first is where it is. Well, the pictures will be on view all this week, most of them at the Star Gallery in the shopping mall, but we have so many pictures this year that we’re also showing some in the cafe next door, so do drop in and see them any day between 9.00 and 5.00. Now if you’re interested in buying rather than just looking—and we hope a lot of you will be—the actual sale will take place on Thursday evening, with sales starting at 7.30—refreshments will be available before the sale, starting at 6.30. We’ve got about 50 works by local artists showing a huge range of styles and media, and in a minute I’ll tell you about some of them. You’re probably also interested in what’s going to happen to your money once you’ve handed it over—well, all proceeds will go to support children who are disabled, both here in New Zealand and also in other countries, so you can find an original painting, support local talent, and help these children all at the same time. Now let me tell you a bit about some of the artists who have kindly agreed to donate their pictures to the Charity Art Sale. One of them is Don Studley, who has a special interest in the art sale because his five-year-old daughter was born with a serious back problem. After an operation earlier this year, she’s now doing fine, but Don says he wants to offer something to help other less fortunate children. Don is totally self taught, and says he’s passionate about painting. His paintings depict some of our New Zealand birds in their natural habitats. One relative newcomer to New Zealand is James Chang, who came here from Taiwan nine years ago, at the age of 56. Mr. Chang had 13 exhibitions in Taiwan before he came to live here in Christchurch so he’s a well-established artist and art has been a lifelong passion for him. His paintings are certainly worth looking at—if youlike abstract pictures with strong colour schemes, you’ll love them. Natalie Stevens was born in New Zealand, but has exhibited in China, Australia and Spain. As well as being an artist, she’s a website designer. She believes art should be universal, and her paintings use soft colours and a mixture of media. Most of her pictures are portraits, so watch out—some of them may even be friends of yours. And then we have Christine Shin, from Korea. Christine only started to learn English two years ago, when she arrived in New Zealand, but she’s been painting professionally for over ten years and she sure knows how to communicate strong messages through the universal language of art. She usually works from photographs, and paints delicate watercolours, which combine traditional Asian influences with New Zealand landscapes, giving a very special view of our local scenery. Well, that’s all I have time to tell you now, but as well as these four, there are many other artists whose work will be on sale, so do come along on Thursday.

How are you doing? I heard you were sick.Joey: Oh, hi, Olivia. Yeah, I had a virus last week, and I missed a whole pile of lectures, like the first one on the Great Books in Literature, where Dr. Castle gave us ail the information about the semester project.Olivia: I can give you copies of the handouts, I’ve got them right here.Joey: That’s OK. I already collected the handouts but I’m not very clear about all the details. I know we each have to choose an individual author. I think I’m going to do Carlos Castenada... I’m really interested in South American literature.Olivia: Have you checked he’s on the list that Dr. Castle gave us? We can’t just choose anyone.Joey: Yeah, I checked, it’s OK. Who did you choose?Olivia: Well, I was thinking of choosing Ernest Hemingway, but then I thought no, I’ll do a British author not an American one, so I chose Emily Bronte.Joey: OK... and first of all it says we have to read a biography of our author—I guess it’s OK if we just look up information about him on the Internet?Olivia: No, it’s got to be a full-length book. I think the minimum length’s 250 pages. There’s a list of biographies, didn’t you get that?Joey: Oh right. I didn’t realise we had to stick with that. So what do we have to do when we’ve read the biography?Olivia: Well, then we have to choose one work by the writer. Again it’s got to be something quite long, we can’t just read a short story.Joey: But I guess a collection of short stories would be OK?Olivia: Yes, or even a collection of poems, they said, but I think most people are doing novels. I’m going to do Wuthering Heights, I’ve read it before, but I really want to read it again now I’ve found out more about the writer.Joey: And then the video... we have to make a short video about our author and about the book. How long has it got to be?Olivia: Aminute.Joey: What? Like, sixty seconds? And we gotta give all the important information about their life and the book we choose...Olivia: Well you can’t do everything... I wrote it down somewhere... yes, Dr. Castle said we had to ‘find or write a short passage that helps to explain the author’s passion for writing, why they’re a writer’. So. we can back this up with reference to important events in the writer’s life if they’re relevant but it’s up to us really. The video’s meant to portray the essence of the writer’s life and the piece of writing we choose.Joey: So when we read the biography, we have to think about what kind of person our writer is.Olivia: Yes... and the historical context and so on. So for my writer, Emily Bronte, the biography gave a really strong impression of the place where she lived and the countryside around.Joey: Right, I’m beginning to get the idea.Joey: Er... can I check the other requirements with you?Olivia: Sure.Joey: The handout said after we’d read the biography, we had to read the work we’d chosen by our author and choose a passage that’s typical in some way... that typifies the author’s interests and style.Olivia: Yes, but at the same time it has to relate to the biographical extract you choose. There’s got to be some sort of theme linking them.Joey: OK, I’m with you.Olivia: And then you have to think about the video.Joey: So are we meant to dramatise the scene we choose?Olivia: I guess we could, but there’s not a lot of time for that. I think it’s more how we can use things like sound effects to create the atmosphere... the feeling we want.Joey: And presumably visuals as well?Olivia: Yeah, of course—I mean, I suppose that’s the whole point of making a video—but whatever we use has to be historically in keeping with the author. We can use things like digital image processing to do it all.Joey: So we can use any computer software we want?Olivia: Sure. And it’s important that we use a range—not just one software programme. That’s actually one of the things we’re assessed on.Joey: OK.Olivia: Oh, and something else that’s apparently really important is to keep track of the materials we use and to acknowledge them.Joey: Including stuff we download off the Internet presumably?Olivia: Yeah, so our video has to list all the material used with details of the source in a bibliography at the end.Joey: OK. And you were talking about assessment of the project.Did they give us the criteria? I couldn’t find anything on the handout.Olivia: Sure. He gave us them in the lecture. Let’s see, you get 25 percent just for getting all the components done—that’s both sets of reading and the video. Then the second part is actually how successful we are at getting the essence of the work, they call that ‘content’ and that counts for 50 percent. Then the last 25 percent is on the video itself, the artistic and technical side.Joey: Great. Well, that sounds a lot of work, but a whole lot better than just handing in a paper. Thanks a lot, Olivia.Olivia: You’re welcome.What instructions were the students given about their project?A they must do thisB they can do this if they want toC they can’t do thisWrite the correct letter, A, B or C, next to Questions 21-25.21．Choose a writer from a list provided. ______正确答案：A22．Get biographical information from the Internet______.正确答案：C23．Study a collection of poems. ______正确答案：B24．Make a one-hour video. ______正确答案：C25．Refer to key facts in the writer’s life. ______正确答案：BComplete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Other requirements for the project extract chosen from the author’s work must reflect the 【L26】______and______of the author. students must find sound effects and 【L27】______to match the texts they choose. students must use a 【L28】______of computer software programs to make the video. students must include information about the 【L29】______of all material.Criteria for assessment completion of all components —25% 【L30】______(must represent essence of author’s work)—50% artistic and technical design of video —25% 26．【L26】正确答案：interests(and)style/style(and)interests27．【L27】正确答案：visuals28．【L28】正确答案：range29．【L29】正确答案：source(s)30．【L30】正确答案：content听力原文：Hello, everybody, and welcome to the sixth of our Ecology evening classes. Nice to see you all again. As you know from the programme, today I want to talk to you about some research that is pushing back the frontiers of the whole field of ecology. And this research is being carried out in the remoter regions of our planet... places where the environment is harsh and—until recently—it was thought that the conditions couldn’t sustain life of any kind. But, life forms are being found—and these have been grouped into what is now known as extremophiles—that is, organisms that can survive in the most extreme environments. And these discoveries may be setting a huge challenge for the scientists of the future, as you’ll see in a minute. Now, the particular research I want to tell you about was carried out in Antarctica—one of the coldest and driest places on Earth. But a multinational team of researchers—from the US, Canada and New Zealand—recently discovered colonies of microbes in the soil there, where no one thought it was possible. Interestingly enough, some of the colonies were identified as a type of fungus called Beauveria Bassiana—a fungus that lives on insects. But where are the insects in these utterly empty regions of Antarctica? The researchers concluded that this was clear evidence that these colonies were certainly not new arrivals... they might’ve been there for centuries, or even millennia—possibly even since the last Ice Age! Can you imagine their excitement? Now, some types of microbes had previously been found living just a few millimetres under the surface of rocks—porous, Antarctic rocks... but this was the first time that living colonies had been found surviving—erm—relatively deeply in the soil itself, several centimetres down in fact. So, the big question is: how can these colonies survive there? Well, we know that the organisms living very near the rock surface can still be warmed by the sun, so they can survive in their own microclimate... and this keeps them from freezing during the day. But this isn’t the case for the colonies that are hidden under the soil. In their research paper, this team suggested that the very high amounts of salt in the soil might be the clue—because this is what is preventing essential water from freezing. The team found that the salt concentration increased the deeper down they went in the soil. But while they had expected the number of organisms to be fewer down there, they actually found the opposite. In soil that had as much as 3,000 parts of salt per million, relatively high numbers of microbes were present—which seems incredible! But the point is that at those levels of salt, the temperature could drop to minus 56 degrees before frost would cause any damage to the organisms. This relationship between microbes and salt—at temperatures way below the normal freezing point of water—is a really significant breakthrough. As you all know, life is dependent on the availability of water in liquid form, and the role of salt at very low temperatures could be the key to survival in these kinds of conditions. Now the process at work here is called supercooling—and that’s usually written as one word—but it isn’t really understood as yet, so, there’s a lot more for researchers to work on. However, the fact that thisprocess occurs naturally in Antarctica, may suggest that it might occur in other places with similar conditions, including on our neighbouring planet, Mars. So, you can start to see the wider implications of this kind of research. In short, it appears to support the growing belief that extraterrestrial life might be able to survive the dry, cold conditions on other planets after all. Not only does this research produce evidence that life is possible there, it’s also informing scientists of the locations where it might be found. So all of this might have great significance for future unmanned space missions.One specialist on Mars confirms the importance...31．Extremophiles’ are life forms that can live inA．isolated areas.B．hostile conditions.C．new habitats.正确答案：B32．The researchers think that some of the organisms they found in Antarctica areA．new species.B．ancient colonies.C．types of insects.正确答案：B33．The researchers were the first people to find life forms in AntarcticaA．in the soil.B．under the rock surface.C．on the rocks.正确答案：AComplete the sentences below.Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer.How the extremophiles survive34．Access to the sun’s heat can create a______for some organisms.正确答案：microclimate35．The deeper the soil, the higher the______of salt.正确答案：concentration36．Salt can protect organisms against the effects of______.even at very low temperatures.正确答案：frost37．All living things must have access to______water.正确答案：liquid38．Salt plays a part in the process of______.which prevents freezing.正确答案：supercooling39．The environment of______is similar to the dry valleys of Antarctica.正确答案：Mars40．This research may provide evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life forms and their possible______on other planets.正确答案：locations。

She thought they might be on your list. man: Arilas, Arilas, let me see. Can you give me the names?woman: Yes, the first’s Rose Garden Apartments. I’d like to go with another friend in the last week of October. man: Well, we’ve got a lovely studio flat available at that time. I’m sure you’d enjoy the entertainment programme there too, with Greek dancing in the restaurant. woman: And the cost for each of us?man: ￡219.woman: That sounds very reasonable! I’m just jotting down some notes. Now the second one she mentioned was called Blue Bay. man: Blue Bay? Yes, in fact that’s very popular and it has some special features. woman: Really?man: The main attraction is the large swimming pool with salt water.woman: Much healthier, I understand.man: That’s right. And it isn’t far from the beach, either - only 300 metres, and only around half a kilometre to some shops, so you don’t have to be too energetic. woman: Is it much more expensive than the first one?man: Let me just check. I think at the time you want to go it’s around ￡260 - no ￡275 to be exact. woman: Right, I’ve got that. Now there are just two more apartments to ask you about. Um. I can’t read my own writing! Something to do with sun ... Sunshine, is it? man: I think you meant the Sunshade Apartments. They’re on a mountainside.woman: Any special features?man: Yes, each room has its own sun terrace and there are shared barbecue facilities. woman: Sounds lovely!man: Yes, it is rather well-equipped. It also provides water sports - it has its own beach. There are facilities for water-skiing. woman: Any kite-surfing? My friend’s quite keen.man: Not at the hotel but I’m sure you’ll find some in Arilas. There’s also satellite TV in the apartments. woman: And how much is that one?man: ￡490 with two sharing.woman: You mean ￡245 each?man: I’m afraid not! Each person has to pay that amount and there must be at least two in an apartment. woman: I don’t think that would be within our budget, unfortunately. And the last one sounds a bit expensive too - the Grand!man: Actually it’s quite reasonable. It’s an older style house with Greek paintings in every room, and a balcony outside. woman: Sounds nice. What are the views like?man: Well, there are forests all round and they hide a supermarket just down the road, so that’s very useful for all your shopping needs. There’s a disco in the area too. woman: And the price?man: ￡319 at that time, but if you leave it till November it goes down by 40%.woman: Too late, I’m afraid.man: Well, why don’t I send you a brochure with full details, Ms ... ?woman: Nash. But don’t worry about that. I’m coming to Upminster soon and I’ll call and get one. I just wanted to get an idea first. man: Well, that’s fine. We’ve got plenty here when you come.woman: If you’ve got a minute, could I just check a couple of points about insurance? I got one policy through the post but I’d like to see if yours is better. man: Fine. What would you like toknow?woman: Well, the one I’ve got has benefits and then the maximum amount you can claim. Is that like yours? man: Yes, that’s how most of them are.woman: Well, the first thing is cancellation. If the holiday’s cancelled on the policy I’ve got, you can claim ￡8,000. man: We can improve on that, Ms Nash. For Greek Island holidays, our maximum is ￡10.000. woman: That’s good - of course our holiday won’t even cost ￡1,000 together!man: It’s still sensible to have good cover. Now, if you go to hospital, we allow ￡600. woman: Yes, mine’s similar.man: And we also allow a relative to travel to your holiday resort.woman: My policy just says their representative will help you.man: You can see there’s another difference there. And what happens if you don’t get on the plane? woman: Nothing, as far as I can see on this form.man: Don’t you have missed departure?woman: No, I’ll just jot that down.man: We pay up to ￡1,000 for that, depending on the reason. And we’re particularly generous about loss of personal belongings - up to ￡3,000, but not more than ￡500 for a single item. woman: Then I’d better not take my laptop!man: Not unless you insure it separately.woman: OK - thanks very much for your time - you’ve really been helpful. Can I get back to you? Your name is? man: Ben - Ludlow. That’s L-U-D-L-O-W. I’m the Assistant Manager here. I’ll give you my number. It’s 081260 543216. woman: But didn’t I phone 081260 567294?

Welcome, Simon. Now, perhaps you can begin by telling us a little bit about how it all started.man: Well, during the 1970s, my wife, Liz and I had just acquired 80 acres of sheep-farming land, and we decided to settle down and have children. Pretty soon we had a daughter, Sarah, and a son, Duncan. The place was wonderful for the kids: they particularly loved trains and gradually built up an enormous network of miniature railway track. I began to develop larger-scale models of locomotives but we didn’t think anything more of it until I went on a trip to a theme park near Birmingham and decided we could do a much better job! So we set up a small one ourselves based on the miniature railway and we opened to the public for just a month that year. 1984 - in July - our driest month - because our children said they didn’t want our quests to have a miserable, wet visit. I dealt with Park business and Liz carried on with the farm work. It soon became clear that we were onto a winner. We began to extend the railway track and lay it among more interesting landscape by planting trees, which in turn attracted more wildlife, and by making cuttings through the rock.Nowadays, we’re open all year round and we’re pleased to say that Winridge is one of the most popular visitor attractions in the area - with 50,000 visitors a year - a million and a half people have been through our doors since we opened.All these visitors mean we have had to expand our operation and it’s now a truly familyconcern. I’m near to retirement age so I only concern myself with looking after the mechanical side of things - keeping the trains going. Liz now devotes all her energies to recruiting and supporting the large squadron of workers, which keep the place running smoothly. We’re really pleased that after some years away teaching, Sarah has now returned to the park and makes sure the visitors are kept fed and watered, which keeps her pretty busy as you can imagine. Our son, Duncan, has been a stalwart of the park for the last ten years, taking over from me in the area of construction - and I’ll say a little bit more about that in a moment - and his new wife. Judith, has also joined the team in charge of retail. That’s becoming a tremendous growth area for us - a lot of people want to buy souvenirs.woman: So have you finished your development of the site for the moment?man: Not at all! We’re constantly looking for ways to offer more to our visitors.The railway remains the central feature and there’s now 1.2 kilometres of the line laid but we’d like to lay more. Because of the geology of the area, our greatest problem is digging tunnels. But we’re gradually overcoming that. We’re also very pleased with a new installation of the Go-Kart arena which is 120 square metres in area. Again the problem is the geology; we had to level the mounds on the track for safety reasons. We wanted to enable 5-12 year olds to use the go-karts. And the main attraction here is the Formula 1 Kart. We’ve known fights to break out over who gets it! And then finally to our most recent development which is the landscaped ...Choose the correct letter, A, B or C.

And this is what your tutorials will help you to do. Caroline: Right.tutor: What we’ll do is jot down some points that might help you in your decision. First of all, you have chosen your general topic area, haven’t you? Caroline: Yes, it’s the fishingindustry.tutor: Oh yes, that was one of the areas you mentioned. Now, what aspects of the course are you good at? Caroline: Well, I think I’m coping well with statistics, and I’m never bored by it.tutor: Good. Anything else?Caroline: Well, I found computer modelling fascinating - I have no problem following what’s being taught, whereas quite a few of my classmates find it difficult. tutor: Well, that’s very good. Do you think these might be areas you could bring into your dissertation? Caroline: Oh yes, if possible. It’s just that I’m having difficulty thinking how I can do that. You see I feel I don’t have sufficient background information. tutor: I see. Well, do you take notes?Caroline: I’m very weak at note-taking. My teachers always used to say that.tutor: Well, I think you really need to work on these weaknesses before you go any further. Caroline: What do you suggest?tutor: Well, I can go through the possible strategies with you and let you decide where to go from there. Caroline: Okay, thanks.tutor: Well, some people find it helpful to organise peer-group discussions - you know, each week a different person studies a different topic and shares it with the group. Caroline: Oh right.tutor: It really helps build confidence, you know, having to present something to others. Caroline: I can see that.tutor: The drawback is that everyone in the group seems to share the same ideas ... they keep being repeated in all the dissertations. Caroline: Okay.tutor: You could also try a service called ‘Student Support’. It’s designed to give you a structured programme over a number of weeks to develop your skills. Caroline: Sounds good.tutor: Yes, unfortunately there are only a few places. But it’s worth looking into.Caroline: Yes, of course. I know I’ve got to work on my study skills.tutor: And then there are several study skills books you can consult.Caroline: Right.tutor: They’ll be a good source of reference but the problem is they are sometimes too general. Caroline: Yes, that’s what I’ve found.tutor: Other than that I would strongly advise quite simple ideas like using a card index. Caroline: Well, yes, I’ve never done that before.tutor: It’s simple, but it really works because you have to get points down in a small space. Another thing I always advise is don’t just take your notes and forget about them. Read everything three times - that’ll really fix them in your mind. Caroline: Yes, I can see it’d take discipline but...tutor: Well, if you establish good study skills at this stage they’ll be with you all your life. Caroline: Oh yes, I completely agree. It’s just that I don’t seem to be able to discipline myself. I need to talk things over. tutor: Well, we’ll be continuing these tutorials of course. Let’s arrange next month’s now. Let’s see, I can see you virtually any time during the week starting 22nd January. Caroline: What about the 24th? I’m free in the afternoon.tutor: Sorry, I’m booked then. What about the following day?Caroline: Thursday?

In the last few lectures I’ve been talking about the history of domestic building construction. But today I want to begin looking at some contemporary, experimental designs for housing. So, I’m going to start with a housewhich is constructed more or less under the ground. And one of the interesting things about this project is that the owners - both professionals but not architects - wanted to be closely involved, so they decided to manage the project themselves. Their chief aim was to create somewhere that was as environmentally-friendly as possible. But at the same time they wanted to live somewhere peaceful - they’d both grown up in a rural area and disliked urban life.So the first thing they did was to look for a site. And they found a disused stone quarry in a beautiful area. The price was relatively low, and they liked the idea of recycling the land, as it were. As it was, the quarry was an ugly blot on the landscape, and it wasn’t productive any longer, either.They consulted various architects and looked at a number of designs before finally deciding on one. As I’ve said, it was a design for a sort of underground house, and it was built into the earth itself, with two storeys. The north, east and west sides were set in the earth, and only the sloping, south-facing side was exposed to light. That was made of a double layer of very strong glass. There were also photovoltaic tiles fixed to the top and bottom of this sloping wall. These are tiles that are designed to store energy from the sun. And the walls had a layer of foam around them too, to increase the insulation.Now, what is of interest to us about this project is the features which make the building energy-efficient. Sunlight floods in through the glass wall, and to maximise it there are lots of mirrors and windows inside the house. That helps to spread the light around. So that’s the first thing - light is utilised as fully as possible.In addition, the special tiles on the outside convert energy from the sun and generate some of the house’s electricity. In fact, and it’s possible that in future the house may even generate an electricity surplus, and that the owners will be able to sell some to the national grid.As well as that, wherever possible, recycled materials have been used. For example, the floors are made of reclaimed wood. And the owners haven’t bought a single item of new furniture - they just kept what they already had. And then there’s the system for dealing with the waste produced in the house. This is dealt with organically - it’s purified by being filtered through reed beds which have been planted for that purpose in the garden. So the occupants of the house won’t pollute the land or use any damaging chemicals.It’s true that the actual construction of the house was harmful to the environment, mainly because they had to use massive amounts of concrete - one of the biggest sources of carbon dioxide in manufacturing. And, as you know, this is very damaging to the environment. In total, the house construction has released 70 tons of carbon dioxide into the air. Now that’s a frightening thought. However, once the initial ‘debt’has been cleared -and it’s been calculated that this will only take fifteen years - this underground house won’t cost anything - environmentally I mean - because unlike ordinary houses, it is run in a way that is completely environmentally friendly.So, eco-housing like this is likely to become much more ...31．The owners of the underground houseA．had no experience of living in a rural area.B．were interested in environmental issues.C．wanted a professional project manager.正确答案：B32．What does the speaker say about the site of the house?A．The land was quite cheap.B．Stone was being extracted nearby.C．It was in a completely unspoilt area.正确答案：AComplete the notes below.Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.

They said the problem would be fixed in a few minutes, so I waited. And then I started talking to another guy in the bank, and I forgot the time. sally: Oh, really? Someone you met in the bank? Does he work there? peter: No, he was a tourist, from New York. His name’s Henry, and he’s been here for a week, but he’s moving on to Germany tomorrow. He’s an architect, and he’s spending four weeks travelling around Europe. sally: Just like us! peter: Yeah, just like us. He told me the names of some places where we should eat. Great food, and not too expensive, he said. Oh, and he also gave me this map of the bus system. He said he didn’t need it any more.sally: That’s useful. Pity he’s moving on tomorrow. Ah, here’s the waitress. Let’s order. Do you want anything to eat, or shall we just have a drink? peter: Well, I’m hungry, and we’ve got a lot of sightseeing to do, so let’s just have a snack and a drink. sally: Sounds good to me!peter: Well, let’s decide what we’ll see today. I guess the best place to start is the Cathedral, and then the Castle. What are the opening times for those two?sally: Well, according to this guidebook, the Cathedral is only open from nine-thirty in the morning until midday. No, hang on. That’s the Cathedral Museum. The Cathedral itself is open morning and afternoon. The Castle is just open from one to five, so we can’t go there until after lunch. I really want to spend some time in the Art Gallery, because they’ve got this wonderful painting by Rembrandt that I’ve always wanted to see.peter: What else should we see?sally: Well, the guidebook says the Botanical Gardens are worth spending some time in, and they’re open all day, from eight to she, so we can go there any time. I’d like to go to the Markets near the river too, but... oh ... no, wait, that’s only in the mornings, too.peter: As well as today and tomorrow, we can see some other places on Monday, you know. But I don’t think the Markets will be open then: they only open on Thursdays, so we’ve missed them for this week. Maybe we should go to the Cathedral today because it’s Sunday tomorrow, and even though it’s open every day it might be more difficult to get in tomorrow because of the church services.sally: That’s true, but the Art Gallery isn’t open on Sundays at all, so we’ll have to go there today. The Castle’sopen every day except Mondays, so we’re OK there, and the Gardens of course only close at night.peter: Are all these places free or do we have to pay to go in? What does the guidebook say?sally: I think there’s a charge for all of them except the Botanical Gardens. Oh, and the Markets, of course you don’t pay to go in.peter: OK, well, it looks like our plan is this: we’ll go to see the painting you like first, the Rembrandt, then have lunch and go on to the Castle after that, and then the Cathedral.sally: OK. It says here that the roof of the Cathedral is really beautiful.peter: Is that right? What I really want to do at the Cathedral is climb the tower. The view is supposed to be spectacular.sally: OK, well, that’ll be more than enough for today. Then, tomorrow, let’s go to the Botanical Gardens and have a picnic. I want to sit by the river and watch the swans.

Let’s take academic counselling. If you’re confused about subjects or how to combine them in your degree, then we can advise you and discuss the career you are aiming for, so that you can see it all in context. We can also chase up your tutor if you’re not getting proper feedback on how you are getting on in your subject. Besides help with academic problems, you may also need personal counselling: if you think you’re already under stress, well, just wait till classes begin next week. You’ll have to start adjusting to teaching and learning methods that may be unfamiliar to you, as well as the mounting pressure as the deadline for that first assignment creeps up on you. And of course, you have to cope with all this without your usual social network - you know, the social contacts, family and friends you could normally rely on for help. All of this causes anxiety. Studying overseas can trigger a personal crisis - you may have left a lot of what you might call ‘unfinished business’back in your own country, or you may have interrupted personal relationships or even sometimes have broken them off to come overseas, and so the student often feels lonely, unhappy, unmotivated and unable toconcentrate on studying. Or there may be other things bothering you. Our resident chaplain can offer you spiritual guidance if that’s what you want, or we can put you in touch with community groups that can provide you with social contacts and friendship. What about exam stress? It affects nearly everyone to some extent, but especially overseas students like yourselves. There may be a huge amount of family pressure on you to succeed, and if you fail a subject or drop out of a course because it’s too difficult then your self-esteem can suffer. But it’s not the end of the world if you don’t pass an exam - I had to resit First Year Anthropology, so I can certainly offer you a sympathetic ear! Anyway, exam failure can lead to worrying changes in the way you normally behave. You may also be off your food, or you may have dietary problems because the local food is not to your liking and upsets you, and this can affect your health and studies. Glenda Roberts is our dietician in the Health Service and we can put you on to her. And we all have money problems, don’t we? But remember, full-time students can get a low-interest loan of up to six hundred dollars to buy books and for similar study-related expenses. That’s right, and you can get double that amount if you can’t afford an item of equipment you need for your course - a musical instrument, for example. And it doesn’t stop there. When you move into a flat, starting-up expenses, including furniture for it, can be covered by a loan through the Welfare Service - see Jill Freeman for details. Can we help you? Well, last academic year, in spite of staff cuts, we counselled two hundred and forty international students for a total of twenty-six hundred hours counselling, and, finally we won all but just one of the twelve appeals that we launched on behalf of students. Not too bad for an understaffed service, don’t you think? That’s all from me. Thank you.11．The Counselling Service may contact tutors ifA．they are too slow in marking assignments.B．they give students a lot of work.C．they don’t inform students about their progress.正确答案：C12．Stress may be caused byA．new teachers.B．time pressure.C．unfamiliar subject matter.正确答案：B13．International students may find stress difficult to handle becauseA．they lack support from family and friends.B．they don’t have time to make new friends.C．they find it difficult to socialise.正确答案：A14．A personal crisis may be caused byA．studying for too long overseas.B．business problems in the student’s own country.

Sorry I’m a bit late - there was a long queue. So, have you worked out how to deal with this assignment then? mick: Not yet, we’ve only been here a couple of minutes ourselves. rosa : Can you just remind me what the task is exactly?pete: Well, there are two, no, three, parts to it: first, we’ve got to write an essay about ways of collecting data. Then ... rosa: What’s the title of the essay exactly? mick: I’ve got it here: ‘Assess the two main methods of collecting data in social science research’. rosa: And how much do we need to write? mick: Fifteen hundred words. That’s for the essay. Then, for the second part of the assignment, we have to choose one method of data collection, and ‘carry out a small-scale study, making appropriate use of the method chosen to gather data from at least five subjects’. rosa: And then we have to write a report on the study?pete : That’s right, of three to four thousand words. rosa: Did you get as far as discussing which form of data collection we should go for -questionnaire or interview, isn’t it? mick: Yeah, I think we should use a questionnaire. It’ll be so much less time-consuming than organising interviews, I reckon. Once we’ve agreed on the wording of it, we only have to send it out and wait for the responses. rosa: Yes, I think it probably would be quicker. But what did that article he gave us last week say about the quality of data from questionnaires? mick: I’m pretty sure it recommended questionnaires as a source of ‘highly reliable data’. As long as you design the questionnaire properly in the first place, the data will be fine. rosa: No, I’m sure it talked about drawbacks as well, didn’t it? Something about the response rate and the problems you get if it’s too low. mick: Yeah, but we only need data from five subjects anyway. rosa: I suppose so. Another drawback I remember it mentioned was that questionnaire data tends not to reveal anything unexpected, because it is limited to the questions fixed in advance by the researcher. mick: Come on, Rosa. This is only a practice. It’s not meant to be real research, is it? rosa: Well, I’m not sure about that.rosa: Maybe I’d better go through the article again, just to be sure. Can you remember what it was called? mick: ‘Sample Surveys in Social Science Research’, I think. By Mehta. rosa: M-E-H-T-A ? mick: Yeah. And he also recommended a more recent book, called ‘Survey Research’, by Bell, I think. It’s in that series published by London University. pete: And if we tried to use interviews instead, I saw a book in the departmental library that’ll be helpful: it’s called ‘Interviews That Work’, by Wilson, published in Oxford in nineteen eighty-eight. rosa: Right. I’ve got a tutorial now. Can we meet up again later this week? What about Friday morning? pete: Suits me. Eleven o’clock? rosa: Fine. mick: Before Friday, I think we should all look through the reading list.Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.

But over the past seventy years or so, there has been a massive increase in one type of crime, which is what’s known as ‘corporate crime’. Corporate crime is crime which, as the name suggests, is connected with companies, with business organisations. It includes illegal acts of either individuals or a group within the company, but what is important is that these acts are normally in accordance with the goals of the company - they’re for the good of the company rather than the individual. It’s been defined as, quote, ‘crime which is committed for the corporate organisation’- the company - ‘not against it’, unquote. So crimes like theft by employees - things like embezzlement or fraud against one’s actual employer are excluded according to this definition. The employees may be involved but they’re acting in the first place for the company - they may not even realise they’re committing a crime or they may realise but they feel it’s excusable because it’s policy, or because otherwise they may lose their jobs. So here, really, we’re talking about the links between power and crime. Now, this is one area that much less is generally known about than conventional or traditional crime. It has been relatively ignored by the mass media - for example, it tends to be under-reported in comparison with conventional crime in news broadcasts, and in crime serials and films and so on - they very rarely deal with corporate crime. And it also tends to be ignored in academic circles - there’s been far more research on conventional crime and far more data is available. There are several reasons for this lack of interest in corporate crime, compared with other types of crime. It’s often very complex, whereas with conventional crime it’s usually possible to follow what’s going on without specialist knowledge. As well as this, whereas conventional crime usually has a lot of human interest, corporate crime often has much less. The third reason, and possibly the most significant one, is that very often the victims are unaware - they think their misfortune is an accident or that it’s the fault of no-one in particular. They’re unaware that they’ve been victims of a crime. So, when we look at the effects of corporate crime we may find it’s very difficult to assess the costs. But these costs can be very considerable in both their economic and social aspects. Let’s look at the economiccosts first. For example, if a company is producing fruit juice and it dilutes its product so that it’s just a little below the concentration it should be, many millions of people may be paying a small amount extra for their carton of orange juice. Now small amounts like this may seem insignificant for individual customers - too small to worry about - but for the company this deception might result in massive illegal profit. However, all studies of corporate crime agree that the individuals are in fact deprived of far more money by such crime than they are by conventional crime like robbery and theft. In addition to this, we have to consider the social costs of corporate crime and these are again very difficult to assess, but they are considerable. They’re important because they can undermine the faith of the public in the business world and also, more importantly, because the main group of people they affect are, in fact, not the richer sections of society but the poorer - so here companies are robbing the poor to benefit the rich. There are two more points to do with corporate crime that I’d like to illustrate with reference to a specific event which occurred several years ago. This was an explosion of a large oil tanker which caused the loss of more than fifty lives of the crew. It was an explosion which never should have happened and a subsequent inquiry laid the blame not on anyone who had actually been on the tanker at the time, but on the owners of the tanker. They had deliberately decided not to carry out necessary repair work on the tanker as it was due to be sold, and it was this lack of repair work which was directly responsible for the explosion. Now this illustrates two points to do with corporate crime. First of all, that it does not have to be intentional. The owners of the tanker certainly did not intend it to explode. But very serious consequences can result from people or organisations not considering the possible results of their actions seriously enough. The main crime here was indifference to the human results rather than actual intention to harm anyone, but that didn’t make the results any less tragic. And this leads me to my second point - that corporate crime can have very severe consequences. It’s not just a matter of companies making bigger profits than they should do, but of events which may affect the lives of innocent people, and yet very often companies, because they say they didn’t intend to harm anyone, can avoid taking responsibility for the results of their actions. And that has been a very dangerous loophole in the law.A further example of corporate crime was ...(fade out)31．Corporate crime is generally committedA．against individuals.B．by groups.C．for companies.正确答案：C32．Corporate crime does NOT includeA．employees stealing from their company.B．unintentional crime by employees.C．fraud resulting from company policy.正确答案：AComplete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Corporate crime has been ignored by:a)the【L33】______e.g. filmsb)【L34】______Reasons:a)often more complex, and needing【L35】______b)less human interest than conventional crimec)victims often【L36】______Effects:a)Economic costs may appear unimportant to【L37】______ can make large【L38】______for company cause more losses to individuals than conventional crimesb)Social costs make people lose trust in business world affect poorer people most33．【L33】正确答案：mass media / media34．【L34】正确答案：academic circles / academics / researchers35．【L35】正确答案：specialist knowledge / specialised knowledge36．【L36】正确答案：unaware37．【L37】正确答案：individual customers / individual consumers / individuals38．【L38】正确答案：illegal profit / illegal profitsChoose TWO letters A-F.The oil tanker explosion was an example of a crime whichA was no-one’s fault.B was not a corporate crime.C was intentional.D was caused by indifference.E had tragic results.F made a large profit for the company.39．正确答案：D40．正确答案：E。

雅思（听力）模拟试卷47(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：Presenter: Welcome to this first presentation on writing an academic essay. A university essay can be thought of as an extended answer to a quite specific question that has been posed by your lecturer. A key consideration for lecturers when they mark students’ work is whether the essay before them is relevant; that is whether it does in fact provide an answer to the question being posed. For this reason it is important when you prepare to work on an essay that you spend a reasonable amount of time reading and mulling over the essay topic so that you understand precisely what is being asked. This involves identifying and thinking about key words in the topic, among other things. This tutorial on essay writing is based on the following topic: “In the last 20 years, rates of divorce have risen significantly in Western countries. Critically analyse some of the different explanations given for this phenomenon. In your discussion you should consider what implications these explanations might have for social policy.”‘Implication’is a common term. Implications can be thought of as a set of ideas that follow on in some logical sense from a preceding set of ideas. In the case of this essay, the preceding set of ideas are the explanations for rising divorce. What is required then is that students consider what social policies might follow on from each of the different explanations considered. Note that the word ‘phenomenon’refers here to ‘rising divorce’. This means that the essay will need to be concerned with explaining why divorce rates have risen. ‘Different explanations’ suggests that different analysts have come up with a variety of reasons for this happening. To ‘critically analyse’means to assess the value of some entity with respect to its strengths and weaknesses. This entity may be a theory, a policy, an argument, a piece of research etc. In the case of this essay topic, what needs to be evaluated are the different explanations given for rising divorce. This proposition is central to the essay topic. Clearly the essay will need to be concerned in a general sense with the subject of rising divorce. It is also important to note those terms which limit the subject in some way, in this case to a particular place —Western countries—and to a particular time—the last 20 years. I asked three different students spent some time analysing the divorce essay topic. On the following three slides, you can read each of their interpretations of the topic. After reading each, decide whether you think it is a reasonable interpretation of the topic. This slide shows Student As analysis—”This essay topic is about divorce in Western countries. I would look in detail at statistics for divorce in various countries. I would then mm to the effects of divorce, as discussed by various sociologists. I would describe the effects divorce is thought to have on parents and on children. Then I would consider what social policy solutions there are for the problems arising from divorce.”Student B wrote—”For this essay I would focus on why rates of divorce haveincreased in Western countries. To answer this question, I would give my own critical explanation, focusing on what I know from experience are the reasons why couples choose to divorce. I would then interview a number of divorced people I know asking them what the reasons were for the breakdown of their marriage. I would then consider current social policies relating to divorce and find out how well the people I interview have coped since they were divorced.”And this slide tells us what Student C wrote—”This topic states that divorce has risen in Western countries. First I would want to find out if this is the case by looking at statistics from a number of countries. Assuming that the proposition is true, I would then look at a variety of accounts given by sociologists for this increase. For each of these, I would consider how adequate an explanation it is. The topic seems to imply that rising divorce is a phenomenon that needs to be addressed by policy makers. I would then think about what sort of social policy positions might follow on from each explanation.”Having read the three interpretations, in your opinion, which seems the most reasonable interpretation? ... Ah, yes, I think you’ve got the answer. Of the three interpretations, Student 3’s would be closest to what is required. The student is proposing to comment on the adequacy of a range of sociological explanations for divorce, i.e. critical analysis, and then to consider what types of social policy would follow on from her explanations, i.e. implications.SECTION 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-32Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS.1．The lecturer says that an essay is like ______ to a specific question.正确答案：an extended answer2．A key thing for lecturers to consider when they mark an essay is whether it is ______.正确答案：relevantQuestions 33-36Complete the notes on the words used in the essay title using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.3．【33】正确答案：explanations4．【34】正确答案：analysts5．【35】正确答案：assess the value6．【36】正确答案：Western countriesQuestions 37-40Decide which student or students (A, B or C) would do or write the following.7．Look at divorce statistics.正确答案：AC8．Assess the views of sociologists.正确答案：C9．Use interviews to gather information.正确答案：B10．Consider the effects of divorce on children.正确答案：A听力原文：Researcher: Good morning, sir.

The UK, with a total population of over 60 million,consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain comprisesEngland. Scotland and Wales. England is the largest country of the UK, Q31with some 52 million people. It is mainly a lowland country, with someupland areas in the north and west. The capital is London with about 7 Q32million people. There are many manufacturing industries and farming iswidespread, but the economy is increasingly service-based, and London isone of the world’s leading centres for banking, insurance and other financialservices. High-tech industries have replaced many of the more traditionalones. In Scotland, 5 million people live in an area not much smaller thanEngland. The country boasts vast open spaces and is one of the last areasof unspoiled natural beauty in Europe, featuring mountains, lochs—thatis ‘lakes’—andglens—that is ‘valleys’. Modern industries including oil, Q33electronics and biotechnology, as well as more traditional industries such asfishing and forestry, drive the economy. The largest city is Glasgow, but thecapital is Edinburgh. Wales is home to 3 million people, and its geographyis characterised by coastline, mountains and lakes. Cardiff is the capital Q34and largest city. Key industries include electronics, auto components, foodQ35processing, health care, and professional services. More Japanese companieshave set up shop in Wales than anywhere else in Europe. About 1.6 millionpeople live in Northern Ireland, the capital of which is Belfast, the largestcity. Residents enjoy beautiful countryside. Many new hotels are springingup to cater for increasing numbers of tourists and business travellers. The climate in the UK is moderate: summers are fairly cool and wintersare quite mild. And despite what many foreigners believe, British weather Q36is not rain and fog—it is actually more comfortable, more varied and moreinteresting than that. What you can look forward to in the way of rain, sun,temperature and even daylight depends on where you will be living. Here aresome typical figures for London. January is the coldest month at 3℃whilstJuly is the hottest at 17℃. Rainfall varies from 56mm in April to 81mm Q37in December. Although the UK is quite small geographically, the climatevaries from one area to another. In general, the west is wetter and milderQ38than the east, and northern areas are noticeably cooler than southern ones.For example, compare the following temperatures with the London figures:Edinburgh 14℃in July and Manchester 15℃in the same month.

Susan has had her baby.JOHN: Do you know when she had it?SARAH: Yesterday. The tenth of August.【Example】JOHN: Oh, my father was born on August the tenth. Give me the details and I’ll make a note for everyone at work.SARAH: OK.JOHN: Well, was it a boy or a girl?SARAH: It’s a boy.JOHN: And what are they going to call him?SARAH: Tom. Tom Lightfoot. It sounds quite good, don’t you think?JOHN: Yes, that has quite a good ring to it.SARAH: YOU know he’s quite a big baby. He weighed four and a quarter kilos when he 【Q1】was born.JOHN: That does sound big, four and a quarter kilos.SARAH: And he’s long too, forty-six centimetres. 【Q2】JOHN: Mmmm. Tall parents. He’ll grow up to be over two metres, I’d say.SARAH: With masses of black hair, curly black hair. You know, we should go and visit them in hospital. What about tomorrow afternoon at around l pm?JOHN: Yes, OK.SARAH: Where should we meet?... Ah, I could come and pick you up at your house, if you like.JOHN: Yes, that would be wonderful. My car is still off the road.SARAH: Just refresh my memory. What’s the address again?JOHN: It’s 15 Chesterfield Road, Paddington.SARAH: It’s next to the library, isn’t it?JOHN: Not exactly. It’s next to a bank. The State Bank actually. The library is 【Q3/Q4】opposite us, on the comer.SARAH: That’s right, and there’s a garage on the other street corner. I remember now. 【Q5】JOHN: So, you’ll pick me up at a quarter to one and we’ll be there at one easily.SARAH: Now what should we take? We must take them something.JOHN: I always think flowers are good to take to someone in hospital, don’t you?SARAH: Well, not really. Everyone always brings flowers and they don’t last. I think it’s much better to take a pot plant, so she can take it home with her.JOHN: Yes, but then she has to remember to water it. What about a big box of chocolates?SARAH: OK, chocolates sound fine. We should get something for the baby too. What do 【Q6】you think?JOHN: Yes, you’re right. What do you think of something like baby shampoo or talcum powder?SARAH: Or we could get a little hat, or something like that.JOHN: We don’t know the size, or the right colour, do we?SARAH: I think we should get something they wouldn’t normally buy. What about a soft toy of some sort?JOHN: Yes, a soft toy. 【Q7】SARAH: What about a teddy bear?JOHN; I could get one early tomorrow at the market and I could probably get the 【Q8/Q9】chocolates there too.SARAH: Good.JOHN; So you’ll pick me up at a quarter to one at my place and I’ll make sure that I’ve got the presents.SARAH: You must remember how much you paid for the gifts, so I can pay you back for half If they’re going to be from both of us, I would like to go shares.JOHN: OK. I’d say the chocolates would be about $15 for something nice andnot too small and the toy would be around $35 or so, I’d think. 【Q10】SARAH: Good, that’ll be fine. About $25 each then. Good, I’ll pick you up then on Sunday at twelve forty-five.JOHN: OK.SARAH: See you then.

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. Thanks for that, Liz.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Complete the table below:Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answerFor the recommendation column, write[A] You must buy this.[B] Maybe you should buy this.[C] You should never buy this.11．【11】正确答案：glass12．【12】正确答案：eighteen/18 hours/hrs13．【13】正确答案：(a) (strange) taste14．【14】正确答案：(the) small size∥small∥(the) size15．【15】正确答案：metal16．【16】正确答案：A17．【17】正确答案：outside/outdoor activities∥outdoors18．【18】正确答案：underwater∥under/beneath water19．【19】正确答案：(a) weak light20．【20】正确答案：flashing light听力原文：BRYSON: Well, Amina, thanks for letting me have your draft in such good time.AMINA: Oh, that’s alright. 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. When by, do you think?BRYSON: I’d aim for 29 June and after that you should get it laser printed.., but be 【Q30】careful because the computer centre closes on 10 July.AMINA: And then I hand it in to... ?BRYSON: Oh, the Faculty Office as usual.AMINA: OK, that’s fine.

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?

I’m ringing about the Dragon Boat Race that you’re asking people to take part in.W: Oh yes, we still need a few more teams. Are you interested in joining the race?M: Yes, we want to enter a team but we don’t know anything about it? Could I ask you for some more information first?W: Of course.M: I don’t even know when it’s being held.W: It’s taking place on the 2nd July...M: Is that a Saturday?W: No, it’s a Sunday. It’s a much more popular day and more people can take part then.M: Right. And where’s it being held?W: ...at the Brighton Marina.M: Oh, I’m an overseas student... Could you spell that for me?W: Yes, it’s Brighton Marina, that’s M-A-R-I-N-A. Do you know where it is?M: I’m not sure.W: It’s a couple of miles past the Palace Pier.M: Oh yes, I know it.W: You take a right turning off the coast road or you can cycle along the seafront.M: That’s good. What time does the race start?W: Well, the first heats begin at 10:00 am - but you need to register half an hour before that - at 9:30 and we really recommend that you aim to be there by 9. It’s a good idea to arrange a meeting place for your team.M: Right... And the race is to help raise money for charity?W: It is. We’re asking every team member to try and raise ￡35 by getting friends and/or relatives to sponsor them. Every crew member will receive a free tournament T-shirt if your team manages to raise ￡1,000 or more.M: Oh, that’s quite good.W: Also we’re holding a raffle... every crew member who takes part in the race this season will be entered into a free Prize Draw.M: Oh, what’s the prize?W: It’s pretty good - it’s a holiday in Hong Kong.M: Sounds great.Now listen and answer Questions 6 to 10.W: Is there anything else you need to know?M: Could you just tell me a little bit more about the teams?W: Well, you need to have a crew of 20 people for your dragon boat... and you then need to agree on who’s going to be the team captain... That would probably be you...M: Fine. Um, I’ve got a group of 20 people who are interested... do all the team members have to be a certain age?W: Well, there’s no age limit as such but if you have a team member who’s under 18 then they have to get their parents’ permission to take part.M: Yes, that makes sense.W: It isn’t dangerous but we do have boats that turn over in the water and for that reason we insist that everyone wears a life jacket as well and you can hire life jackets from us when your team arrives.M: What do you advise people to wear?W: Well, most people wear a T-shirt, shorts and trainers. I certainly wouldn’t recommend that you wear jeans or boots. In fact, it’s a very good idea to bring some spare clothes.M: OK.W: It can get quite cold and wet if the weather’s bad. And there’s quite a bit of hanging around especially if you qualify for the semi-finals or the final...M: I see what you mean.W: Have you got a name for your team?M: Oh, not yet, no.W: Well, you need to decide on one and then put it on the entrance form which I’llsend you...M: Oh, OK.W: So if you’d like to give me your address...Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.Event DetailsExampleType of event: Dragon.

I hope you enjoy your stay in our village and enjoy the local scenery. I’ll tell you a bit about the forest and mountain tracks in a minute, but first, I’ll just give you an idea of where everything is in the village. So, we’re here in the tourist information centre, and when you come out of the centre, you’re on Willow Lane, just opposite the pond. If you want to get to the supermarket for your supplies of food and water, go right, that’s the quickest way, and then turn right at the top of Willow Lane, and it’s the second building you come to, opposite the old railway station.If you’re planning on doing some serious climbing and you need some equipment, we do have an excellent climbing supplies store just five minutes’walk away. Turn left once you’re outside the tourist information centre, take Willow Lane all the way up to Pine Street - you want to go left along here - then keep walking and go past Mountain Road on your right, until you come to the next turning on the left - head down there, and you’ll come to the climbing supplies store. If you get to the small building that sells ski passes, you’ll know you’ve gone too far.You also need to head to Pine Street for the museum - it’s small but well worth a visit if you’re interested in the history of the village and the old gold mining industry. So, when you reach Pine Street from here, you’ll see the old railway line on the other side of the road - turn left onto Pine Street, and keep going until you come to Mountain Road, and just up here, the museum will be on your left, just behind the railway line. Don’t worry about crossing over the tracks. The trains stopped running through here in 1985.If you’re planning on following one of the easier forest walks, you might like to hire a bicycle. To get to the hire shop, again you need to head to Pine Street. On the left-hand side of Pine Street, you’ll see the Town Hall, go down the little road that you come to just before it, and you’ll find the bike hire shop just behind the hall. They have a good range of bikes so I’m sure you’ll find something that suits your st but not least, if you’re hungry after a long day’s trek I can recommend our local café. Again, when you leave the tourist information centre, turn right and follow Willow Lane until it joins Pine Street - and right opposite - on the far side of the railway tracks - is the café.Now listen and answer Questions 16 to 20.OK, let me tell you a little bit about the different tracks we have. All of them start at the end of Mountain Road and you’ll find a parking lot there where you can leave your vehicles. Let’s start with North Point track. It’s a gentle route through lowland forest - good for biking and probably the one for you if you have small children. There’s a wooden hut where you can stay at the end of the track but be aware that it’s really just an overnight shelter, and you’ll need to take your own sleeping bags and cooking equipment. Another option is the Silver River track. As the name suggests, you’d be following the river for most of the way, and youcan get to see some of our beautiful native birds, but the track also goes through a densely forested area. Unfortunately, the signposting isn’t very good in places and you do need good map-reading skills to avoid becoming disoriented, which happens to visitors a little too frequently, I’m afraid. Valley Crossing will take you through some stunning scenery but there are several points along the way where you’ll need the level of fitness required to get over some pretty big rocks. Stonebridge is one of the shorter tracks, but very steep as it takes you up to the waterfall, and you do need to be in good condition to manage it. Lastly, the Henderson Ridge track will take you all the way to the summit of the mountain. Do bear in mind, though, that at this time of year the weather is very changeable and if the cloud suddenly descends, it’s all too easy to wander off the track. It’s best to check with us for a weather report on the morning you think you want to go. On the way, to the summit, there’s a hotel which provides comfortable rooms and quality meals, so it’s worth climbing all...Label the map below.Write the correct letter A-H, next to Questions 11-15.11．supermarket正确答案：G12．climbing supplies store正确答案：D13．museum正确答案：A14．bike hire正确答案：E15．cafe正确答案：CWhat comment does the speaker make about each of the following tracks?

How about you? How’s university life?W: Well, it’s great - apart from the studying of course.M: Yeah - me too! What are you studying? I seem to remember that you were going to do Art. That was your best subject, wasn’t it?W: No - not really - I just liked the teacher. He was French and had an amazing accent. My favourite subject was History but I couldn’t see what career that would give me.M: Ah, right. So what did you choose?W: Well, I found it really difficult to decide. I was really good at Science but I must admit I never really enjoyed studying it. So, in the end I decided to opt for English which was my second favourite subject and I thought it would be more useful to me than studying anything else. So - that’s what I’m doing. Um, how are you finding university?M: Well, it’s a bit of a challenge I suppose.W: Are you finding it difficult?M: Well, some of it. I’m doing Mechanical Engineering which is really interesting but it covers quite a lot of areas like materials science, machine design, physics and of course mechanics - and they’re all fine. But it’s maths that I’m struggling with. It’s a lot harder than it was at school.W: I can believe it. It all sounds very difficult to me. But then I never was very good at mechanical things. I suppose it must involve some practical work?M: Well - not at the moment. Currently, it’s nearly all theory, so it’s a bit heavy-going.W: I guess you need to start with that so that you can get a grasp of the concepts and learn a few facts before you start putting it into practice. It must be a lot different to the course that I’m taking.M: Yes - but in a few weeks we’ll be having a lot more practical experience. In fact, I’ve got a great assignment this term working on jet engines which means I’ll be going on a few field trips to a nearby airport.W: Oh - that’s great. It sounds like you’re going to be very busy.M: Yes, I’m not sure how I’m going to cope with the work. We have a lot of lectures - and that’s fine. The lecturers are very knowledgeable and I learn a lot from them. But we also have a lot of seminars and I find with so many people expressing their views it can get quite frustrating. It would be better if we didn’t have so many of those.W: Yes - it’s the same for me.Now listen and answer Questions 27 to 30.W: Um - how are the students at your place?M: Well I haven’t really met anyone yet. They all seem a bit quiet.W: Perhaps they’re working hard - they don’t appear to be very studious here, but they are very friendly. I must say I’ve been doing a lot of sitting around and chatting over the last week or so.M: Well, that’s good. The only person I’ve spoken to really is my tutor. He’s very approachable and seems to understand how difficult it can be starting university.W: It’s good to have someone you can talk to. And he may help you meet other students.M: Actually that doesn’t bother me. I’m bound to get to know some people sooner or later. It’s more a question of finding out what I need to do, where to go and so on. I hope he can help me with that.W: Oh, I would have thought so. Well, we certainly have a lot of work ahead of us. It seems like a long time,doesn’t it - studying for three years.M: Yes, it does - but I’m sure it’ll go quickly. You know I’m really dreading the first assessment.W: Yes - for the course I’m doing we have to hand our first one in at the end of next month.M: Really - so have you got the topic yet?W: No - but we’ll get it soon. I’m not sure how much we have to write yet - not too much. I hope!M: I know what you mean. And it’s hard to study especially where I am now.W: Oh - where are you living?M: I’m living in a hall of residence. I thought that would be a good idea asthere’d be a lot of people around but I’m finding it a bit noisy. I can see that I’m going to have problems when I really need to get down to some work.W: So I guess you need to be somewhere on your own then?M: Yes - well, I do like to have some people around me, so I’d prefer to live with a family somewhere in a house not too far from the university.W: Well, good luck with that.M: Yes, thanks - and good luck to you as well. I have to dash now. I’ve another lecture in ten minutes. Bye for now.W: Bye.Choose TWO letters, A-E.Which TWO subjects did Martina like best before going to university?A ArtB HistoryC FrenchD EnglishE Science21．A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：B，D22．A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：B，DComplete the summary below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.George’s experience of universityGeorge is studying Mechanical Engineering which involves several disciplines.

The Department of the Printed Word has a very short history, having been created just ten years ago. Some statistics to start with. The first intake of undergraduate students consisted of 20 students, which rose to 37 in the second year and we now have about 50 in the first year, doing a wide range of courses, full and part-time. We have a thriving research department with 17 students on the taught MA course and 7 students doing research full-time. In all we have 9 full-time lecturers and 16 part-time lecturers who work mainly but not exclusively in our evening department. Of the total student body, approximately 21 per cent are from outside the country, a number which has been increasing steadily over recent years.Although students from overseas have to reach a minimum level of competence in English before they follow a course at the university, some may require remedial help with their English and we can offer help through the Student Support Services as part of the general assistance given to all students. For home students, both graduate and undergraduate, there are bursaries to help with travel and accommodation, for which I would advise you to contact Mrs Riley at the end of this session.Increasingly, we are forging external links with organizations in the publishing world. And we have been very fortunate in that we have received money to sponsor not just various students within the department but also technicians and lecturers. Each year we hold a series of lectures, which are given by external speakers in the world of printing and the media. The series of workshops that you see around you have been built thanks to a very generous donation which has allowed us to develop our facilities for book binding and restoration.Questions 35-40Now the main work of the department relates to teaching the mechanism of printing and as most printing is now so highly technological, all our students have to be computer-literate. For those of you who are interested in taking a module in this department from another department and who feel that you may not have the necessary computer skills, don’t let the technology put you off. We have a number of specialist technicians who can support and deliver crash programmes in the computing technology required. As long as you can switch on the computer you are half way there.We have what can only be called state-of-the-art facilities especially for those wishing to move into the publishing world working not just as printers, but also in editing, page design, layout and book-binding. With the extensive facilities we have for book restoration, some of our former students are now employed as expert book restorers and conservationists, skills which were once almost dying out. In the display you will notice samples of work on book cover design, and as well as having all the necessary computer programmes for dealing with printing we have some old printing presses.Despite being largely a modern department, we do have an increasing interest in research into the history of the printed word, ranging from early European to Chinese and Japanese printing techniques. We have in fact some very well-known experts on early printing in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. If this area appeals to you, you can talk to DrFred Clare afterwards. From China we are lucky to have as a visiting lecturer Dr Yu, who is an authority on early Chinese manuscripts and printing machines. If you are thinking about doing a module with us or you are interested in doing research after you have finished your first degree, the person to talk to is Professor Clarkson who will be able to give you all the details. For postgraduate research, you should really be thinking about applying now even though we are only in December, as the department now attracts large numbers of people and we always have many applications for each research position.Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.Department of the Printed WordStatistics- many different full- and part-time courses- 17 students on the【L31】______ MA course and 7 full-time research students- 9 full-time lecturers- about【L32】______per cent of students are from outside the country Sponsorship- links with organizations in the publishing world- sponsorship of students, technicians and 【L33】______- outside speakers- workshops built to expand facilities for book binding and 【L34】______ Teaching- main work is teaching the 【L35】______- as most printing is now very technological, students have to be 【L36】______- for students without the necessary skills, there are specialist technicians who deliver 【L37】______in computingFacilities- in printing, editing, page design and layout, book-binding- former students are now working as expert book 【L38】______ Research- growing interest in the history of the printed word from early European etc. printing techniques- a visiting lecturer, Dr Yu, is an expert on early Chinese manuscripts and 【L39】______- department is very popular, with many 【L40】______ for each research position31．【L31】正确答案：taught32．【L32】正确答案：21/twenty-one33．【L33】正确答案：lecturers34．【L34】正确答案：restoration35．【L35】正确答案：mechanism of printing 36．【L36】正确答案：computer-literate37．【L37】正确答案：crash programmes/programs 38．【L38】正确答案：restorers and conservationists 39．【L39】正确答案：printing machines40．【L40】正确答案：applications。

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.

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.

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. Although I don’t want to be an accountant, it’ll be good to have an understanding of taxation, especially if I ever run my own business.Ivan: Then there’s the most popular course, which is(29)human resources and a lot of people seem to get jobs in that field.Chloe: My friend works in human resources and she’s really good at it, but I don’t think I’ve got the right personality so I’d give that one a miss. I’m more interested in how businesses actually work - the structure.Ivan: That’s a compulsory course - the structure of business - but you might find(30)information systems helpful.Chloe: Is that kind of computer programs?Ivan: Some of it is, but also databases, project management, and other things.Chloe: Oh, sounds useful, but I’ll have to look at some of the other possibilities first. You know, Ivan, this course sounds as though it would suit me. I’m going to apply.Ivan: Great!

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.

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. There is not a great deal you can do if you have what we call a street canyon - a whole set of high-rises enclosed in a narrow street. Trees need water to grow.

雅思（听力）模拟试卷76(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.听力原文：Narrator: You will hear a woman calling an animal park to enquire about a job. First, you have some time to look at Questions 1-5. 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.
