听力材料
(Text 1)
M：Any new ideas on the Mr. Fro case? How can we give this motor oil a new brand identity?
W：Let me get my morning coffee to get my brain working again.
(Text 2)
W：Hi, excuse me, sir? I'm looking for a dress shoe. My usual pair that I've had for years have finally been stretched out of shape. They don't provide any support anymore.
M：Sure, we've got sandals, heels and something a little more practical.

(Text 3)
M：Excuse me, but what time will we arrive in Xi'an?
W：We'll arrive there at 11：15.
M：That's good. My friend is supposed to meet me at the airport then.
(Text 4)
W：I really enjoy that piece you just played on the piano. I bet you get a lot of requests for it.
M：You said it. People just can't get enough of it.
(Text 5)
M：Alice, your father is amazing. He's 90 years old and he lives alone in that big house.
W：I know. He doesn't like to ask anyone for help. My dad insists on paying his own bills and taking care of himself!
(Text 6)
W：When I got home last night I found a letter from the school I used to study in. The students there want me to go back and talk to them.
M：Oh, really? And are you going?
W：I don't know. I used to hate school, so I don't feel like going back.
M：But it's different now.
W：Yes, I know. But it's still a difficult situation. You see, when I was at school I used to be bad at studies and none of the teachers liked me.
M：Well, I think you should go. When I was younger, I used to dream about meeting a famous pop star. You can't let them down.
W：Maybe you are right. OK. I'll go.
(Text 7)
W：Hi, Tommy, got a minute?
M：Sure, come in. What's on your mind?
W：Oh, it's the plan for the students about the use of computers.
M：What's the trouble?
W：The students are supposed to use the computers for only one hour a day because so many students need to use them every day.
M：I can see that.
W：Well, now it seems that some of the students aren't willing to give up their machines when the hour is over.
M：I suppose they feel that it doesn't matter very much to keep them a few minutes more.
W：Yes, but this makes it hard for those who are waiting to use the machines.
M：You are right. Let's prepare a notice right now. Then we can pass it out tomorrow to clear up the problem.
(Text 8)
W：Hello! I'm home! Tom?
M：Hi, Mum! I'm in here.
W：Oh, my God! What's going on here?
M：I'll clear it up later. I've nearly finished. What do you think?
W：It's so lovely. I like the roof. What a beautiful red!
M：I haven't painted the front door yet. What color do you think it should be?
W：I think green would be nice ... or yellow ... or perhaps blue ... Oh, I don't know. Would you like me to make some curtains for it?
M：Oh, that would be great, Mum. Oh ... by the way ... I'm afraid I've got a bit of paint on the carpet over there. I'm terribly sorry.
W：Oh, you haven't, Tom!
M：It's all right. I think it will come out. If not, I'll just paint the rest of the carpet the same color.
(Text 9)
W：Yes, Sir. You called?
M：Yes, I wonder if you could bring me another bottle of beer.
W：Certainly. Would you like anything else?
M：Well, my grandson is supposed to meet me in London at the airport. Do you think he'll be able to find me?
W：I'm sure he will. You don't have to worry about that. Are you going to be visiting him?
M：Yes. I've never seen my grandson.
W：I think you'll have a wonderful time in London. It's beautiful, is this your first time abroad?
M：No, I saw quite a bit of Europe before, Rome, Berlin, Paris, places like that, but I've never been to London.
W：Oh, then you have flown before too.
M：No, that was during the Second World War and I went to Europe on a large ship
6
carrying soldiers.
W：Things are quite different in Europe nowadays.
M：I'm sure they are. I'm really interested to get there.
W：Well, it's 4 o'clock now and we'll be there at 6：00. Will you be staying long?
M：I plan to stay five weeks. I was a teacher but I have stopped working. My wife has been dead and so I can go wherever I want.
W：I think you'll have a good time. I'll go and get a beer for you.
(Text 10)
M：Now, where am I staying in Barcelona?
W：I've booked you out in the Sky Palace, just at the airport terminal.
M：Sky Palace? Wasn't it possible to get me into Barcelona Hotel as usual?
W：Well, Barcelona Hotel would have involved much more traveling for you. The company you're visiting is located near the airport.
M：Oh, I see. Yes, fine. Have you got the hotel's phone number?
W：Oh, no, but I'll get it for you from the travel agency. And at the next stop, you've been booked into the Larval Hotel in Brussels.
M：The Larval? I've already stayed there twice and found it rather depressing.Is it possible to change the hotel?
W：Of course. I will do my best. Oh, the last stop, London.
M：OK. When everything is settled, I will ask my wife to meet me at the Heathrow Airport. Is there anything else?
W：If possible, I will ask them to send the tickets up before we close today. That's all in order now.

Finding a job is difficult. But what might be even more untoward is figuring out how to get used to the new environment that you are working in when you do finally manage to get a new job. Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.
Be friendly to people. Any job is better when you are
friends of the people that you are working with. You should
be friendly to everyone that you are meeting. Actually
listen to what these people tell you. Most people like making
friends with those who are willing to listen.
Stay positive. One of the things that makes it difficult to adjust to a new job is negativity. If you automatically (无意识地) make judgments about things at the office that you aren't going to like, then you're going to find it difficult to approach the job with a positive attitude. Try to focus on the things that you like about the work and stay away from anyone that is saying negative things on the job.
Keep relaxed. Accept the fact that you probably aren't going to get used to the new job immediately. You are going to make some mistakes. You are going to get confused or you're going to confuse others by doing things differently than what they're used to. Be relaxed. The thing that you really need to get used to a new job, is just time.
Getting used to a new job or a new work environment isn't easy, but it doesn't
have to be particularly difficult either. Get to know the people that you are working with and the unspoken rules of the place by paying attention to what is going on around you and accepting that it's going to take some time to get used to it all! After you have adjusted to your new job the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.

A long time ago, before people and their cities filled the earth, there was a mysterious place that was kept watched over by the fairy (仙女) of the lake. The fairy was so kind that each of her followers was willing to serve her. There was a time in which some bad men presented a danger to the lake and its surrounding forests, and the fairy's followers joined her on a dangerous journey across rivers and deserts in search of the Crystal (水晶) Stone, which was their only hope of being saved.
10
The fairy told them the dangers and difficulties that lay ahead, and how hard it would be to stand the whole journey, but none of her followers were afraid. They all promised to follow her wherever it was needed. As it turned out, the journey was even harder and more terrible than the fairy had imagined. Faced with such difficulties, many followers lost heart and gave up the search. Finally, only one remained, and his name was Shadow (影子)．
Thanks to her loyal (忠心的) Shadow, the fairy finally managed to find the Crystal Stone. Unfortunately, there was a monster keeping watch over the stone, and this monster was not about to give up the stone easily. At this time, Shadow, in a final act of loyalty, offered himself in exchange for the stone. The monster accepted, so Shadow spent the rest of his days in the monster's service.
The powerful magic of the Crystal Stone meant that the fairy could return to the lake and make the bad men leave the lake. But every night she would cry at her loyal Shadow's being away. Shadow's act of self­sacrifice (自我牺牲) showed a love stronger than any other.
And in memory of Shadow, and to show everyone the value of loyalty, the fairy presented every being on Earth with its own shadow during the day. But when nighttime comes all these shadows travel to the lake to spend time with the sad fairy, and to try to comfort her for her loss.

B．The fairy was confident to get the Crystal Stone at first.
C．Most loyal followers were killed during the journey.

Have you come across much western children's literature?
Most English­speaking children grow up with the same delightful set of fictional (小说的) characters. The Winnie the Pooh stories involve a strange selection of animals such as a kangaroo, a pig, a donkey, a tiger, an owl and a bear, who live together in a wood, leading fairy ordinary lives. Far more exciting and dangerous events take place in The Wind in the Willows, the story of the foolish Mr Toad and all his adventures.
Talking animals are also the main characters in The Jungle Book and Just So Stories. In the latter we find lots of imaginative explanations as to why the world is like what it is.
Far more laughter comes from Roald Dahi's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Whillie Wonka is the perfect adult in the eyes of children with all his clever ideas and endless supply of sweets. Also much loved is Bilbo Baggins, the funny little rabbit, who ends up having adventures with wolves and dragons. Of course, the stories go on in the much more serious The Lord of the Rings, better read a few years later.
A new star in the world of magic and children's fiction is Harry Potter, which tells about the schoolboy who learns spells rather than maths. Adventure books remain popular, too. Although well over a century old now, Treasure Island is still an enthralling story with young Jim Hawkins dealing with secret maps and pirates. Such
12
books make childhood a time of wonder and imagination.
语篇解读：文章主要谈论的是西方儿童文学。

大多数说英语的国家的孩子，他们的成长都会伴随着一些相同的童话故事。

这些童话故事多都是以写动物为主，后来出现了与魔法有关的故事。

当然，冒险类的书籍依然受到孩子们的喜爱。

32．Which of these is NOT mentioned as a character in the Winnie the Pooh stories?
解析：选D 细节理解题。

根据第二段“The Winnie the Pooh stories involve a strange selection of animals such as a kangaroo, a pig, a donkey, a tiger, an owl and a bear ...”可知，The Winnie the Pooh stories中出现的动物有袋鼠、小猪、小驴、老虎、猫头鹰和熊，故事中没有出现兔子，故选D项。

33．In which book would you expect to find the chapter “How the tiger got his stripes？”
A．The Wind in the Willows.
B．Just So Stories.
C．Treasure Island.
D．The Lord of the Rings.
解析：选B 细节理解题。

根据第三段可知，关于世界为什么是现在这个样子，Just So Stories里有许多奇妙的解释，故选B项。

34．Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Treasure Island was written a long time ago.
B．Roald Dahi's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a light­hearted book.
C．The Lord of the Rings was published earlier than Harry Potter.
D．Jim Hawkins wrote Treasure Island.
解析：选D 细节理解题。

根据最后一段可知，一个世纪以来，《金银岛》一直很受追捧，其中的主人公是Jim Hawkins，D项说Jim Hawkins是《金银岛》的作者，是错误的，故选D项。

35．The underlined word “enthralling” in Paragraph 4 means “________”．A．disappointing B．modern
C．interesting D．frightening
解析：选C 词义猜测题。

根据画线词前面一句“Adventure books remain popular, too.”可知，冒险类的故事书现在也很受欢迎，《金银岛》一书虽然走过了一个世纪的光景，但依然很受孩子们的喜爱。

Raising Confident Kids
Self­esteem (自尊) is a collection of beliefs or feelings we have about ourselves. Having a healthy self­esteem can help us through difficult times and help us remain focused on what is important to us. Research shows that children with high self­esteem grow up to be more confident adults. Self­esteem building should start from an early age. __36__
Praise Behavior
Children need feedback. It's how they measure their behavior and it plays a role in learning from experience. Provide specific praise for actual acts and efforts made in the process. __37__
Identify Strengths
Preschoolers are always watching each other. On the bright side, they learn new things from each other. On the other side, they can become self­critical when they see a peer accomplish something they are still struggling for. __38__ Tell your children to focus on their strengths when they start to draw comparisons.
Foster (培养) a Sense of Belonging
Children may not understand how peer pressure (同龄人的压力) works, but they feel it when they're being excluded (把……排斥在外). Show your children that they are important by listening to and responding to their needs and ideas as much as possible. Save grown­up conversations for later moment so that you can have family conversations. __39__
__40__
Much as they need us, they need to work on taking small steps toward independence. When they know they can do things, they will feel more confident. Teach problem­solving skills. Step aside and let them work on challenges before asking for help. Help by asking “How can we do this in a differe nt way? Let's come up with some ideas together.” Getting kids involved in problem­solving teaches them how to deal with challenges in the future.
Building and maintaining healthy self­esteem can be a lifelong process, but the sooner you start, the more confident your children will become.
A．Encourage independence
14
B．Spend quality time with children
C．Try to address their concerns as they arise, no matter how minor.
D．If praise is only attached to success, kids will focus on “winning”．E．Be sure to point out your children's strengths regularly and be specific.
F．Below are some tips to help you build your children's self­esteem.
G．Each parent has the responsibility to help children become confident.
