正确答案：British Women British women, in common with women in most Western countries, have been fighting for sexual equality with men for much of the last century. Their achievements have been considerable. First and foremost, discrimination against anyone on the grounds of their sex alone is illegal. For women, this means they are entitled to be given equal respect and status with men in all areas of life. Many British women expect to pursue careers for intellectual, financial and social reasons. They also expect equal pay with men for the same job. When they have family responsibilities, some women, depending on financial and other circumstances, choose not to work; others choose to take time off work while their children are young. In still other families, the father will give up work while the mother continues to pursue her career. In all these cases, men and women are generally expected to share the domestic responsibilities at home with their partners.
PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION (20 MIN)Directions: In Sections A, B and C you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Mark the correct answer to each question on your answer sheet.

[1C] I’m playing a consultancy role, really. [1 A] I have only been here a month, but [1B]I’m already on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I’m happy that you could come. Do sit down, please. W: Dr. Francis, do you know I’ve got a chance to go to Cambridge in
August? I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain. M: Certainly. Well, [1D]I was actually brought up in Scotland. Erm, in fact, I’ve never been to Cambridge. But well... yes, I’m sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Lee Dong? W: Things like weather. What’s the usual temperature there? M: Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22, or 23 degrees centigrade on average, I think. But [2C] Cambridge would be warmer, around 25, I would guess, because it’s down south. W: Oh, that’s nice. Do you know it is 34 here? Last year it reached 39. By the way, where do you think I should stay? M: Oh, that’s important. You can, er (I)
suppose, stay in the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient. W: Yes, it would. M: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense, separate from ordinary society. [3B] You are a language teacher, and I think learning from society is a valuable experience. W: Yes, yes, exactly, so what’s the alternative? M: Maybe finding an English family. I know of a student Ali from the Middle East. He told me that he had learned a lot by staying with a British family. W: Thank you, I think it’s quite a good suggestion. By the way, Dr. Francis, do you think I could--- ?

听力原文：Greetings and introductions are an essential aspect of U. S. culture, the importance of which can never be overemphasized. In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However, in the business world, introductions are based on a person’s rank or position in a company. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other, [12D] introduce the one you know less well to the one you know better. There might be occasions wherein you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate, you might start off by extending your hand and saying “Hello! I am…”. If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary. [13A] Americans shake their hands when first introduced to new people. Rarely do they shake hands while parting. As a part of greeting, sometimes, social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well. If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English, do not use your native or any foreign language
for more than a few sentences, as it is not considered to be polite. Try to avoid using any filthy, sexually explicit stories or jokes. When you are in a theatre, it’s not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.

听力原文：Perhaps the most unusual animal ever brought to Australia was the cane toad. It is a large and ugly species of toad and was imported to this country by sugar cane farmers in 1935 [18B] to get rid of the beetles which killed the sugar cane plants. The cane beetle is the natural enemy of the sugar cane plant. It lives in the cane and drops its eggs onto the ground around the base of the cane. The eggs develop into worms and then the worms eat the roots of the cane, resulting in the death of the plant. In the mid 30s there was a serious outbreak of cane beetles and the farmers became desperate to get rid of the pest which was ruining their livelihood.
Meanwhile it was reported that a toad, native to Central America, had been taken to Hawaii, where cane is also grown, and introduced with apparent success. So the Australian farmers arranged to import one hundred toads from Hawaii. The toads were then released into the cane fields to kill cane beetles. As predicted, the toads started to breed successfully and within a very short time their numbers had swollen. But there was one serious problem. It turned out that [20A] cane toads did not eat cane beetles. And the reason for this is that toads live on insects that are found on the ground and the cane beetle lives at the top of the cane plant well out of reach of the toads. In fact they never come into contact with each other.
15．Why did the sugar cane farmers bring cane toads to Australia?
A．To enrich the variety of species.
B．To deal with cane beetles.
C．To balance the>eco-system.
D．To strengthen the food chain.
正确答案：B

16．Why did the farmers become desperate in the mid 30s?
A．Their houses were destroyed by cane beetles.
B．Cane beetles dropped their eggs onto the ground around the base of the plant.
C．Cane beetles killed all their livelihood.
D．Their sugar cane plants were ruined by overwhelming beetles.
正确答案：D
解析：文中提到，在30年代中期，蔗虫泛滥(there was a serious outbreak of the cane beetle)，这让农夫们很绝望，因为它们毁掉了农夫们的营生(ruining their livelihood)，即甘蔗，故答案为[D]。

17．What was the serious problem after the cane toads’ arrival in Australia?
A．The cane toads did not eat the cane beetles.
B．The number of the cane toads had swollen.
C．There was another outbreak of the cane beetles.
D．The cane toads killed all the cane beetles.
正确答案：A
解析：短文结尾提到，澳大利亚看到夏威夷蔗农的成功样例后，决定引入蔗蟾，但是引入之后，问题也出来了，那就是蔗蟾(cane toads)并没有吃蔗虫(cane beetles)，故答案为[A]。

One afternoon he found that only two tellers were on duty. “I will either succeed and be very rich or fail and go to prison, “ said Joe. He was willing to take the risk. Then he walked in and pushed a demand note over the counter. [18B]The teller read it, turned pale and quietly opened a small safe behind him. He took out $ 50, 000 and placed the bank notes in Joe’s open bag. Then Joe ran as fast as he could. That night Joe had to bury the money in case the police caught him. He chose a deserted piece of land near the house, he was glad when the money was safely hidden in the ground. The next day he was woken by bangs on his door. He answered and there came two policemen. “Joseph Smith, you are under arrest for robbing a bank!”Joe protested in vain. [19A]The bank had hidden cameras and the whole raid had been photographed.

D．intelligence
正确答案：D
解析：由空前的honesty，truth，strength和空后的kindness and good character 可知，所填词应与这些词属同一类。

[A]occupation“职业”，[B]performance“表现”，[C]recommendation“推荐”，[D]intelligence“智力”。

其中[D]intelligence与前面的strength“体力”相对应．故为答案。

36．【C4】
A．reasons
B．examples
C．facts
D．truths
正确答案：A
解析：此空所填词为上文出现的(two)reasons的原词复现，故选[A]reasons。

37．【C5】
A．another
B．others
C．other
D．anyone
正确答案：B
解析：由空前的trust in“相信(某人或某物)”可知，本空所填词作其宾语，由此可排除[A]another。

由空前的our可知此句包含“我们”与“别人”的对比，故答案为[B]others。

[D]anyone“任何人”与文意不符；[C]other-“其他的”，一般作限定词。

38．【C6】
A．ends
B．extremes
C．spots
D．sides
正确答案：B
解析：由空后的over suspiciousness and infantile naivety(过于疑神疑鬼与天真幼稚)可知，这是两个极端(extremes)，故答案为[B]。

[A]ends“终点，极限”、[C]spots “点，地点”、[D]sides“边”均与文意不符。

39．【C7】
A．matters
B．occasions
C．events
D．situations
正确答案：C
解析：分析上下文的结构可知，本空所在句起承上启下的作用。

而本段主要讲的是对自然事件的信任．[C]events意为“事件”，与空前的natural连用，与文意相符，故为答案。

此外，根据复现技巧也可推出答案：下句句尾的events为所填词的原词复现。

而其他选项均与文意不符。

40．【C8】
A．mechanical
B．material
C．relevant
D．absolute
正确答案：D
解析：根据上下文可知，本句意为：无论如何努力，我们都不能保证绝对的安全，由此可知答案为[D]absolute，其意为“完全的，绝对的”。

[A]mechanical “机械的”、[B]material“具体的”、[C]relevant“相关的”均与文意不符。

41．【C9】
A．if
B．that
C．as
D．long
正确答案：A
解析：本空所填词需与as共同引导从句，选项中只有if有此功能；as if引导的方式状语从句与文意相符，故答案为[A]if。
