The WHO said the overall caseload had declined since July, but that 5,000 people a day were still being infected. The disease spread due to deteriorating hygiene and sanitation conditions and disruptions to the water supply.More than 14 million people are cut off from regular access to clean water and sanitation in Yemen, and waste collection has ceased in major cities.Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholera. Most of those infected will have no or mild symptoms but, in severe cases, the disease can kill within hours if left untreated. More than a quarter of those who have died and 41% of those who have been infected have been children, according to the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs.heard.Q1. What is the news mainly about?Q2. Why can cholera spread so quickly in Yemen?N e w s R e p o r t T w oScotland has a new species of butterfly: the elusive and endangered white-letter hairstreak has been discovered in a field in Berwickshire, 100 meters from the English border.It is the first time since 1884 that the butterfly has been sighted in Scotland, raising hopes that climate change has helped it become the 34th butterfly species to live and breed in the country.“Climate change is a double-edged sword but it’s an exciting time to be in the Scottish borders,” said Paul Kirkland of Butterfly Conservation Scotland. “It’s not just butterflies but moths and dragonflies are moving north quite quickly.”More than a quarter of Britain’s 59 butterfly species are spreading north, with insects such as the comma moving about six miles each year. In recent years, butterflies that were once only found in southern Britain have crossed the border in Scotland, including the comma and the small and Essex skippers. Within Scotland, species such as the ringlet, orange tip and peacock have moved rapidly north and into the Highlands.heard.Q3. When was white-letter hairstreak seen in Scotland for the first time?Q4. Why did some Britain’s butterfly species spread north?N e w s R e p o r t T h r e eUber has been ordered to introduce tougher measures to protect the privacy of its drivers and their customers, to settle charges brought by a regulator.It also had to agree to have the effectiveness of the stricter controls assessed by an independent auditor every two years for the next 20 years.The charges relate to God View, a software program that enabled the ride-sharing company to monitor real-time locations of customers and drivers.Uber faces fines if it fails to comply. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) began investigating Uber following allegations about the God View program in the media in 2014. After the investigation started, Uber developed an automated system for monitoring employee access to customer and driver personal data.However, the FTC said the company had stopped using it eight months after it had been put in place. “Uber failed consumers in twokey ways: first by misrepresenting the extent to which it monitored its employees’ access to personal information about users and drivers, and second by misrepresenting that it took reasonable steps to secure that data,” said FTC acting chairman Maureen Ohlhausen, who presided over the settlement.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q5. What should Uber do to settle the charges brought by a regulator?Q6. What do we learn about the God View?Q7. Why did Uber fail consumers according to Maureen Ohlhausen?Section BC o n v e r s a t i o n O n eW: Good afternoon, Mr. Jones. I am Teresa Chen, and I’ll be interviewing you.

Six 4-H girls worked to clean the 72 foot curbside that was covered with weeds, rocks and trash.Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot, five flats of flowers. They also took turns in watering, weeding and maintaining the plot.Participation in this project helped the girls develop a new attitude towards their parents of their own homes; they’ve learned how to work with tools, and improve their work habits. One mother said that before her daughter was involved in this project, she would not even pull the weed. The experience on Main Street stimulated self-improvement, and encouraged members to take pride in their home grounds and the total community.City officials cooperated with the 4-H members in planting trees, building cooking facilities, picnic tables, swings and public restrooms. The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them during the early stages of growth. The total park project needed more plantings in the following years. Members of the 4-H club agreed to follow the project through to completion, because they receive satisfaction from the results of constructive work.The project is a growing one and is spread from the park to the school and the shopping center. Trees and flowers have all been planted in the shopping center, making the atmosphere pleasant.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q16. What do we learn about Main Street in Farmington?Q17. What do the 4-H club members do about the curbside?Q18. What have the 4-H girls learned from the project?Q19. Why do the 4-H girls agree to follow the park project through to completion?P a s s a g e T w oAccording to a survey on reading conducted in 2001 by the U.S. National Education Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important, more important than computers and science.Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot. 79% find it stimulating and interesting. And 87% think it is relaxing. About 68% of those surveyed disagreed with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned.Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also show that middle school students read more books than high schoolers. Over 66% of teens like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Over 26% are interested in non-fiction, such as history books. 64% of students listed reading stories about people my own age. That’s a favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture in tradition.Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said thatlibraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complain that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date interesting books and magazines.Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q20. What does the survey on teenager reading show?Q21. What books are most popular among teenagers according to the survey?Q22. What activity do teenagers find the most difficult to give up for a week?P a s s a g e T h r e eThank you for coming, everyone. Today’s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you here today.Le t’s start with power. It’s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetableoil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles. Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use. Now, however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. Let’s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources.Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they’ll do all the driving for you. What controls remain for the users will be audio-based, so, for example, you’ll just have to say “a bit warmer”, and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. You’ll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, and watch your movie, whatever.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q23. What is the presentation mainly about?Q24. What used to restrict the use of electric vehicles?Q25. What does the speaker say about electric vehicles of today?。

The roots of the cactus spread out near the top of the ground. Sometimes rain falls in the desert. Then the root of the cactus takes the water in quickly. The water goes into the thick cactus stem. The water stays in the stem for a long time. The stem is like a storage tank. Even if it doesn't rain for months, the cactus won't die. It gets the water it needs from its own storage tank. There are different kinds of cactus plants. They may be small, or tall as trees. The giant saguaro often grows as high as 50 feet. The barrel cactus sometimes grows 6 feet high. This cactus can store water in its stem for years. It has been called the “traveler's friend”, since people traveling in the desert can get water from it.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.

I arrived at the airport and checked in. I only had one small case, so I decided to take it to the plane as hand-luggage. As the flight was not due to board in 50 minutes, I went to a cafe, sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. While I was sitting there drinking my coffee and reading the paper, I found a woman and her child coming to sit at the next table. I did not pay much attention to them. When my flight was called I reached for my case and left. An hour later, the plane was in the air and I decided to read the conference programme.

first saxophone inCharlie developed as a musicianby playing with different groupsin public eating and drinking places called nightclubs Meanwhile, Charlie developed serious problemsthat were to affect the rest of his lifeHe became dependent on alcoholand the illegal drug, heroinIn , Charlie went to New York City,where he began to develop his own style of jazzCharlie Parker’s name first appeared inthe press reports about music inDuring the next five years,he joined different bandsHe apparently did not feel at easeplaying with a bit of bands,so he returned to New York City inThe following four

peopleis juvenile delinquency—that is, crimes committed by young peopleFor some years, juvenile delinquency has been increasing There are two main sorts of juvenile crimestealing and violenceMost people do not understandwhy young people commit these crimesThere are, I think, a large number of different reasons These crimes are not usually committed by peoplewho are poor or in needYoung people often dislike and resent the adult worldThey will do things to show that they are rebelsAlso in Britain today,it is easier for young people to commit crimesbecause they have more freedomto go where they likeand more money to do what they likeThere are two other possible causeswhich are worth mentioningMore and more people in Britainlive in large townsIn a large town,no one knows who anyone else isor where he livesBut in the village I come fromcrimes are rarebecause everybody knows each otherAlthough it is difficult to explain,I think the last cause is very importantPerhaps there is something wrong with our societywhich encourages violence and crimeIt is a fact that all the timechildren are exposed to films and reportsabout crime and violenceMany people do not agreethat this influences young people,but I think that young people are very much influencedby the society they grow up inI feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young peopleQuestions to are

vegetables in the garden However, most animals have a more varied dietThe bear eats fruits, honey and fishThe fox eats small animals, birds and fruitsThe diet of these animals will be differentdepending on the seasonHumans have a very varied dietWe often eat food because we like itand not because it is good for usIn countries such as France and Britain,people eat foods with too much sugarThis makes them overweight,which is bad for their healthEating too much red meat and animal products,such as butter, can also be bad for the healthChoosing the right food, therefore,has

W: How often did you phone home?[01:25.21]M: I used to phone home once a week,[01:28.09]but now I make a call every other day.[01:32.03]Q: What do we learn from the man's answer?[01:51.93]12. M: The school's English club is having a party[01:56.87]on Saturday night. Can you come?[02:00.53]W: I would like to, but I work at a restaurant on weekends.[02:05.63]Q: Why can't the woman go to the party?[02:25.74]13. W: Shall we have a physics exam this afternoon?[02:32.40]M: It is postponed because the teacher has to attend a meeting. [02:37.76]Q: What do we learn from this conversation?[02:57.22]14. M: How did you like the film?[03:02.14]W: I was rather disappointed.[03:04.59]I'd expected it to be much more exciting.[03:08.56]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?[03:28.86]15. M: Excuse me, would you please tell me[03:33.95]when the next flight to Tokyo is?[03:36.89]W: Sure, the next direct flight to Tokyo is 4 hours from now, [03:42.92]but if you do not mind transferring at Shanghai, you can board now. [03:48.43]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?[04:08.21]16. M: If the traffic wasn't so bad, I could have been home by 6:00. [04:17.36]W: What a pity! Your cousin was here to see you.[04:21.65]Q: What do we know about the man?[04:41.37]17. W: I'm only halfway through my project.[04:46.97]M: How come? You've been working on it for a week![04:51.41]Q: What does the man mean?[05:10.11]18. W: Eric, poor Jim got a ticket for speeding on his way to work. [05:17.98]M: That's nothing. I got two back to back yesterday-[05:22.93]one for running a red light and another for ignoring a stop sign. [05:28.62]Q: What happened to Eric?[05:46.94]Now you'll hear the two long conversations.[05:51.82]Conversation One[05:54.86]W: John, have you chosen a physical education class yet for this semester? [06:01.07]M: No. Why?[06:03.14]W: You've got to take rock-climbing.[06:05.44]We just had the first class and it looks like it's going to be great. [06:11.06]M: You think I should take rock-climbing? You've got to be kidding. [06:15.90]Besides, how can they teach rock-climbing[06:18.90]when it's completely flat around here?[06:21.71]W: That's not important.[06:23.63]You can't just start climbing without any training.[06:27.19]You have to get in shape, learn how to use the ropes, the belts, the buckles- [06:32.84]there's a lot of preparation first.[06:35.71]M: You don't think it's just a little bit dangerous?[06:39.60]W: Not if you know how to use the safety equipment,[06:42.95]which is, by the way, pretty hi-tech.[06:46.42]The ropes are made of elastic fabrics that stretch a little;[06:50.52]the shoes have special plastic.[06:53.25]You have to learn how to use all these before you do any real climbing. [06:59.05]M: Well, what's the appeal?[07:01.18]We'll spend the whole semester[07:02.87]studying something we don't actually get to do?[07:07.07]W: We will take a climbing trip during spring break.[07:10.87]But that's not the point.[07:13.00]Climbing is not the only goal.[07:16.08]In preparing to climb you learn patience, mental discipline[07:21.06]and you gain fantastic physical strength, especially in your hands. [07:26.49]For the first few weeks we're going to concentrate entirely[07:30.42]on hand and upper body exercise.[07:34.03]M: All that in one sport? Maybe you are right.[07:38.47]Since it's not too late to join the class, maybe I will.[07:44.89]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. [07:52.58]19. What do we learn from the conversation?[08:13.45]20. Why does the woman say it's not dangerous to do rock-climbing? [08:35.18]21. What is one of the reasons why the woman is interested in rock-climbing?[08:58.21]22. What will the man probably do after this conversation?[09:20.49]Conversation Two[09:23.41]W: Good morning. What can I do for you, sir?[09:27.29]M: Good morning. I've come for some advice.[09:30.79]I think it's time for my family to plan our summer holiday.[09:34.96]But we can't decide where to go.[09:38.53]W: Very sensible of you to come in now.[09:41.57]Do you have any particular places in mind?[09:45.19]M: That's just the trouble.[09:47.26]None of us wants the same kind of holiday-[09:50.37]my wife, our son and daughter and I.[09:54.34]We all want different kinds of holiday.[09:58.26]W: Well, we have a wide range of family holidays.[10:02.88]Look, maybe you can just tell me all your likes and dislikes[10:07.95]and I'll suggest something.[10:10.25]M: That's probably the best idea.[10:13.41]First of all, I can't afford to spend a lot of money-[10:17.53]um, we've just bought a new apartment. And I am a very keen fisherman, [10:23.85]so I like to spend my holidays fishing.[10:27.38]The children are longing to go to France-[10:30.57]they are both learning French at school.[10:33.68]W: Ah, I have it. How about a camping holiday in France?[10:39.55]M: I think the children will like the idea of camping.[10:43.12]But we have no equipment, not even a tent.[10:47.29]W: Everything is provided.[10:49.67]There'll be a large frame tent[10:51.91]with mattresses, sleeping bags, cooking equipment[10:55.54]and everything you need for a fortnight's stay.[10:59.44]We even provide a tin opener-if you want to eat out of tins.[11:04.11]M: Sounds pretty good! Is there a river?[11:07.64]W: Yes. It says "Good Fishing" here.[11:11.79]M: Ah. This is the best idea.[11:18.41]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. [11:26.16]23. Why can't the man make up his mind where to go?[11:47.74]24. What can we learn about the man from the conversation?[12:08.67]25. What does the man have to bring for a camping holiday in France?[12:30.97]Section B[12:33.00]Directions: In this section,[12:35.93]you will hear 3 short passages.[12:39.31]At the end of each passage,[12:41.50]you will hear some questions.[12:43.87]Both the passage and the questions[12:46.33]will be spoken only once.[12:49.08]After you hear a question,[12:51.26]you must choose the best answer from the four choices[12:55.09]marked A), B), C) and D).[12:59.83]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2[13:04.58]with a single line through the centre.[13:08.25]Passage One[13:11.05]Steve Nichols has a way with birds.[13:14.64]The founder of the UK's National Parrot Sanctuary[13:18.95]connects with them in a way few people can understand.[13:23.72]Strolling through the centre at Friskney, in Lincolnshire,[13:27.71]he can individually name most of the 414 parrots under his care. [13:34.26]The majority of birds at the center are "problem pets"[13:38.13]which their owners gave away.[13:40.82]Mr. Nichols said increasing numbers of owners[13:44.43]were finding their parrots too much to handle[13:47.60]and were giving them away to the sanctuary.[13:50.84]At the current rate, he expects the sanctuary's stock[13:55.27]to go up to more than 1,000 birds within two years.[14:00.44]It is noise and aggression[14:02.55]that usually drive most people to give up their birds.[14:06.91]When BBC News Online visited the sanctuary,[14:11.19]one woman phoned Mr. Nichols about giving away her bird[14:15.40]after owning it for just nine days-despite paying 900 pounds for it. [14:22.56]The bird had started attacking family members.[14:26.17]Mr. Nichols says: "Most people just don't realize[14:30.46]what they are getting themselves into when they buy parrots...[14:34.65]they are still wild animals and can be very difficult."[14:39.33]Mr. Nichols changes his mobile phone ring tone every couple of days [14:44.54]to stop his parrots imitating it.[14:47.84]It's not like dogs which have been living with humans for thousands of years.[14:53.33]In recent weeks, Mr. Nichols has opened his sanctuary to paying customers, [14:59.56]mainly in the hope of raising money for his expanding operation, [15:04.18]which also includes a 24-hour helpline for worried owners.[15:11.32]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.[15:18.41]26. Where are the birds at the Sanctuary mostly from?[15:39.21]27. Why does Mr. Nichols change his mobile phone ring tone very often? [16:00.87]28. What does Mr. Nichols charge visitors for?[16:20.61]Passage Two[16:23.03]Teams of teachers and school administrators[16:26.52]from at least fourteen American cities are at a conference in Washington. [16:32.90]The American Federation of Teachers, a labor union,[16:36.76]holds the Quest conference every two years.[16:40.93]This year, one of the subjects is a tutoring program[16:44.99]that provides extra help to students in Rochester, New York.[16:50.66]The Rochester City School District was one of five in the nation [16:55.25]recognized by the government for their tutoring programs.[16:59.50]Tutoring is big business in the United States these days.[17:04.16]There are private learning centers[17:06.27]where parents can take their children after school.[17:10.04]Test preparation companies are also doing well.[17:14.52]One reason for all this tutoring[17:16.82]is the growing competition for places at top universities.[17:21.89]Another influence is the government's federal education law,[17:26.52]called No Child Left Behind.[17:30.69]The law requires services like free tutoring for poor students at schools [17:35.77]that fail to meet educational goals for three years.[17:40.28]There is federal money to pay the tutors.[17:43.33]But the No Child Left Behind law does not say who must do the tutoring. [17:49.88]It can be a private company or local teachers.[17:54.05]The law does say, however,[17:56.04]that the provider must have shown a record of effectiveness[18:00.16]in helping students learn.[18:02.71]In Rochester, the tutoring is provided by a teachers union,[18:07.30]the Rochester Teachers' Association.[18:12.18]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.[18:19.53]29. What organization is the host of the Quest conference?[18:41.35]30. What is one of the reasons[18:44.96]that tutoring becomes popular in the United States?[19:03.88]31. Who will pay the tutors in the program?[19:24.28]Passage Three[19:27.92]The weather is getting hotter and you'll be getting thirstier[19:31.68]playing basketball or riding home from school.[19:35.86]A cold drink may be just the thing.[19:39.51]But be careful what you pour down your throat.[19:42.87]Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.[19:47.67]There are plenty of so-called energy drinks on the market.[19:51.74]Most of them have an attractive colour and cool name.[19:56.11]Their nutrition lists also contain[19:58.27]various things from vitamins to ginseng. Sounds great![20:02.92]But after a careful check you may find[20:06.49]that most energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine.[20:11.55]These drinks are typically aimed at[20:13.76]young people, students, busy people and sports players.[20:19.40]Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports[20:23.56]and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.[20:29.17]Caffeine raises your heartbeat. Because of this,[20:33.05]the International Olympic Committee has limited its use.[20:37.46]The amount of caffeine in most energy drinks[20:40.58]is at least as high as in a strong cup of coffee or tea.[20:45.53]Research by Australian scientists has found that[20:49.06]many teenagers are affected by caffeine.[20:52.86]The results of their survey show that 27 per cent of boys aged 8-12 [20:59.42]take in more caffeine than their parents.[21:03.95]There are potential health risks linked to energy drinks.[21:08.12]Just one can of energy drink can make you nervous,[21:11.88]have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart attacks.[21:16.72]Teenagers should be discouraged[21:18.86]from consuming drinks with a lot of caffeine in them,[21:22.14]an expert from the Australia Nutrition Foundation said.[21:28.12]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.[21:35.41]32. What is the passage mainly about?[21:55.83]33. What nutrition do energy drinks usually claim to contain?[22:18.46]34. Who are among the target consumers of most energy drinks?[22:40.67]35. What is the speaker's attitude towards taking energy drinks?[23:02.94]Section C[23:05.68]Directions: In this section,[23:08.59]you will hear a passage three times.[23:12.07]When the passage is read for the first time,[23:15.37]you should listen carefully for its general idea.[23:19.56]When the passage is read for the second time,[23:22.51]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered[23:25.60]from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard.[23:32.13]For blanks numbered from 44 to 46[23:36.43]you are required to fill in the missing information.[23:40.22]For these blanks,[23:41.72]you can either use the exact words you have just heard[23:45.28]or write down the main points in your own words.[23:49.88]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,[23:54.01]you should check what you have written.[23:56.81]Now listen to the passage.[24:00.10]Today we talk about the difference between a college and a university. [24:06.23]Colleges and universities have a lot in common.[24:10.48]They prepare young adults for work.[24:13.59]They provide a greater understanding of the world and its past.[24:18.59]And they help students learn to value the arts and sciences.[24:23.76]Students who attend either a college or a university[24:28.06]traditionally take four years to complete a program of study.[24:33.41]But one difference is that many colleges do not offer[24:37.70]additional study programs or support research projects.[24:43.39]Universities often are much larger than colleges.[24:48.00]Universities carry out a lot of research.[24:51.48]They offer more programs in different areas of study,[24:55.62]for undergraduate and graduate students.[25:00.16]Modern universities developed from those of the Middle Ages in Europe. [25:05.98]The word "university" came from the Latin "universitas."[25:11.70]This described a group of people organized for a common purpose.[25:17.51] "College" came from a Latin word with a similar meaning, "collegium". [25:23.99]In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. [25:30.09]Usually each group was studying the same thing,[25:34.32]so the word "college" came to mean one area of study.[25:39.81]Today, most American colleges offer an area of study called liberal arts. [25:46.75]The liberal arts are subjects first developed and taught in ancient Greece. [25:52.34]They trained a person's mind.[25:55.32]They were seen as different from subjects[25:58.41]that were considered more useful in everyday life.[26:02.92]Another meaning of "college" is a part of a university.[26:07.86]The first American universities divided their studies into many areas [26:13.29]and called each one a college. This is still true.[26:19.29]Now the passage will be read again.[26:23.83]Today we talk about the difference between a college and a university. [26:30.02]Colleges and universities have a lot in common.[26:34.35]They prepare young adults for work.[26:37.52]They provide a greater understanding of the world and its past.[26:42.40]And they help students learn to value the arts and sciences.[26:47.76]Students who attend either a college or a university[26:51.99]traditionally take four years to complete a program of study.[26:57.28]But one difference is that many colleges do not offer[27:01.32]additional study programs or support research projects.[27:06.86]Universities often are much larger than colleges.[27:11.43]Universities carry out a lot of research.[27:14.93]They offer more programs in different areas of study,[27:19.05]for undergraduate and graduate students.[27:23.61]Modern universities developed from those of the Middle Ages in Europe.

[29:25.40]They trained a person's mind.[29:28.18]They were seen as different from subjects[29:30.95]that were considered more useful in everyday life.[30:44.75]Another meaning of "college" is a part of a university.[30:49.50]The first American universities divided their studies into many areas [30:55.11]and called each one a college.[32:07.76]This is still true.[32:11.38]Now the passage will be read for the third time.[32:17.35]Today we talk about the difference between a college and a university. [32:23.51]Colleges and universities have a lot in common.[32:27.76]They prepare young adults for work.[32:30.93]They provide a greater understanding of the world and its past.[32:35.71]And they help students learn to value the arts and sciences.[32:41.20]Students who attend either a college or a university[32:45.41]traditionally take four years to complete a program of study.[32:50.58]But one difference is that many colleges do not offer[32:54.65]additional study programs or support research projects.[33:00.31]Universities often are much larger than colleges.[33:04.86]Universities carry out a lot of research.[33:08.22]They offer more programs in different areas of study,[33:12.51]for undergraduate and graduate students.[33:17.38]Modern universities developed from those of the Middle Ages in Europe. [33:23.26]The word "university" came from the Latin "universitas."[33:28.89]This described a group of people organized for a common purpose.[33:34.66] "College" came from a Latin word with a similar meaning, "collegium".

This is still true.[34:38.90]This is the end of Listening Comprehension.[34:41.33]。

They live almost any place where there is water. Some are found in lakes. Other fish live in the sea. Most fish never leave water. There are about 21, 000 kinds of fish. One kind might not look like another. Some fish are very small. The smallest one is no bigger than a fly. Others are very big. The biggest fish grows up to 60 feet. One kind of fish looks as if it has a little horse’s head. It is called a sea horse. It doesn’t swim very well. A sea horse is mostly pushed along by the moving water. What does it do when it wants to stay in one place? It takes hold of plants with its little tail.Q11: Where do fish live?Q12: How many kinds of fish are there in the world?Q13: How long does the biggest fish grow up to?Q14: What is the characteristic of a sea horse?Q15: What does a sea horse do when it wants to stay in one place?Key: 11. almost any place 12. 21.000 13. 60 feet 14. swim very well 15. its little tailPartⅡVocabulary & StructureSection A16-20 ABACD 21-25 DCCACSection B26. creative 27. comfortable 28. civilization 29. is covered 30. tell31. issued 32. directors 33. will be discussed/is to be discussed34. leading 35. broughtPart III36—40 B C B A C 41---45 A C A D A46. married47.excellent48.

Many of them like physical challenges. They ask themselves questions like these: How fast can I run? How high can I climb? How deep can I dive? How far can I swim? How long can I hold my breath? How much can I lift? How high can I jump? Because people enjoy challenges, they like to play sports and watch other people play sports. They like climbing, running, diving, lifting, jumping, and so on. Every four years millions of people all over the world enjoy the international sports competition called the Olympics. There are challenges that are not physical challenges. There are social and intellectual challenges, too. Leonardo da Vinci, who lived in Italy during the fifteenth century, enjoyed every possible challenge. He was an artist and painted the well known picture, theMona Lisa. He was an engineer who made plans for a city with roads under the street for traffic. He was an inventor who invented a device to let people breathe under water. He was a scientist, and he learned a great deal about human structure.Another kind of challenge faced the Egyptians between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago when they decided to build the first pyramid. They used six million tons of rock. That is e-nough to build a ten foot wall around all of France. Four hundred thousand men worked for twenty years to build it.So, for thousands of years, people accepted challenges. Today we still have many challenges before us. Medical science faces the challenges of conquering the many diseases which still attack human beings. Engineers and planners must build new cities and new kinds of transportation. Scientists must develop new forms of energy. And many of us are interested in the challenge of space. We live in an age of challenge. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.When people partic ipate in sporting activities, what kind of challenge do they face?17.Which belongs to social challenge?18.How do people react to the category of social challenges? PassageTwoAlmost ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way; women are luckier: only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. Perhaps, after all, it is safe to be driven by a woman.There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person can't tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green.Human beings have favorite colors. Blue is often popular because it is the color which makes us think of wide fields and forests. Yellow is the cheerful color of the sun. On the other hand, red is the color of blood and fire. It makes some people think of accidents, danger and blood. Black is the color of the night. In the dark, we can't see what is around us, some are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a color. Perhaps that is why it is often the color of mourning. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19.What can we learn from the passage?20.What happened to some color-blind people?21.What color is associated with cheerfulness?Passage ThreeDespite the presence of workaholics, there is a growing realization in the United States that too much work demand can be physically and mentally harmful. Many people have been rebelling against the work ethic, saying that no job is so important as to damage per sonal relationships and rob people of relaxation. There has been a shift in values, with more emphasis being given to personal relationships and relaxation. Leisure time provides opportunities to find personal satisfaction and freedom from the routine of work.Increased leisure time in the United States has not altered the idea that work and play are distinct activities. This distinction is clear-cut; there are "work-hours" and "after work-hours". There is a belief that it is desirable "to work hard and play hard" and undesirable to combine the two. In many offices, stores, and factories socializing among employees is discouraged. An employee under pressure at work often cannot afford to respond to social calls and visits. However,the amount of personal contact on the job depends on the nature of the work. There may be more social interaction between teachers in a school than between scientists doing independent research. Nevertheless, work and play are usually perceived and maintained as separate activities. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22.What is the result of too much work demand?23.In order to rebel against the work ethic, what do many people believe now?24.What do people expect an employee under pressure at work to do?25.What does the speaker imply by saying "the distinction is clear-cut"?Section COne night in April 1912, a huge new ocean liner, the Titanic, was crossing in the At lantic. She was just about the most (26) luxurious ship that had ever been built. She was going very fast, which was (27) dangerous because there were icebergs around and it was very dark that night. The passengers were all having a good time when the ship suddenly (28) struck one of the icebergs.The ship began to (29) sink and the passengers tried to escape, but there were not e-nough lifeboats since nobody thought they would ever be (30) necessary. Eight white rockets were fired into the air in order to get help. Another ship, the California, was (31) passing nearby. An officer and another sailor on it saw the rockets. They thought that perhaps people were having a party on (32) board of the Titanic and were just (33) firing the rockets in fun. (34) Anyway they did wake the captain. But the captain was too sleepy to understand and the California just went on sailing away, in another direction.When the Titanic finally went down, (35) a dance band was still playing music up on the deck until the last few seconds. They were trying to keep the passengers calm. Two thirds of the passengers were drowned. (36) It was one of the greatest sea disasters of all time.Model T est 51-5 BCACC 6-10 DCABC 11-15 CBAAD 16-20 BDCAA 21-25 BCBBA26. luxurious 27. dangerous 28. struck 29. sink 30. necessary31. passing 32. board 33. firing34.

People won’t have enough food supplies there, and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. Besides, the journey won’t be safe. Can anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars, never to return?Steve Minear, UKHere are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment,the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expectation of fame and glory…For scientists there is another reason. Their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements.Donal Trollop, CanadaThere are already too many people on the Earth. I think that sometime before the end of the century, there will be a human colony(殖民地)on Mars. It will happen when people finally realize that two-way trips to the red planet Mars are unnecessary. Most of the danger of space Flight is in the launches(发射) and landings. Cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way to building an everlasting human settlement on another world.Enough supplies can be sent on ahead. And every two years more supplies and more people will needs, and Mars is far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer space.Paul Davies. USA36. The main purpose of Steve Minear’s writing is .A. to report his classmates’ discussionB. to invite an answer to his questionC. to explain the natural state of MarsD. to show his agreement on going to Mars37. In Steve Minear’s opinion, Mars is ___ for human existance .A.uncomfortableB. impossibleC. unsuitableD. available38. Which of the following best states Donal Trollop’s idea?A. There is a plan to send humans to Mars.B. There are many reasons for going to Mars.C. Scientists become famous by doing research on Mars.D. It is possible to build an Earth-like environment on Mars.39. Paul Davies points out that .A. humans need only a one-way ticket to Mars.B. two-way trips to Mars will be made safe soonC. it is easy to reduce the danger and cost of flights to MarsD. it is cheap to build an everlasting human settlement on Mars40. What does Paul Davies think of human existence on Mars?A. Humans will have to bring all they need from the Earth.B. Humans will find Mars totally unsuitable for living.C. Humans can produce everything they need.D. Humans can live longer in the colony on Mars.Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well,it’s so-and-so’s fault.”or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.41. According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather that others42.The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. improveD. consider43.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help44. When problems occur, winners take them asA. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD.chances for self-development45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winner’s Secret.B. A Winner’s Problem.C. A Winner’s Opportunity.D.A Winner’s Achievement.Task 3Directions: The following is a resume.

W: Well, all of our textbooks are arranged by subject and course number in the back of the store. Is this a required text for one of the University's political science courses? M: No, it isn't. I've already looked through all the. political science books in the back, but the ones I saw only had a few pages, at most, on the topic. W: How aboutthe paperback section? There may be something there.M; Okay.W: Or better yet, you should try looking in Books in Print. M; I'venever heard of that.

Many of them like physical challenges. They ask themselves questions like these: How fast can I run? How high can I climb? How deep can I dive? How far can I swim? How long can I hold my breath? How much can I lift? How high can I jump? Because people enjoy challenges, they like to play sports and watch other people play sports. They like climbing, running, diving, lifting, jumping, and so on. Every four years millions of people all over the world enjoy the international sports competition called the Olympics. There are challenges that are not physical challenges. There are social and intellectual challenges, too. Leonardo da Vinci, who lived in Italy during the fifteenth century, enjoyed every possible challenge. He was an artist and painted the well known picture, theMona Lisa. He was an engineer who made plans for a city with roads under the street for traffic. He was an inventor who invented a device to let people breathe under water. He was a scientist, and he learned a great deal about human structure.Another kind of challenge faced the Egyptians between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago when they decided to build the first pyramid. They used six million tons of rock. That is e-nough to build a ten foot wall around all of France. Four hundred thousand men worked for twenty years to build it.So, for thousands of years, people accepted challenges. Today we still have many challenges before us. Medical science faces the challenges of conquering the many diseases which still attack human beings. Engineers and planners must build new cities and new kinds of transportation. Scientists must develop new forms of energy. And many of us are interested in the challenge of space. We live in an age of challenge. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.When people participate in sporting activities, what kind of challenge do they face?17.Which belongs to social challenge?18.How do people react to the category of social challenges? PassageTwoAlmost ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way; women are luckier: only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. Perhaps, after all, it is safe to be driven by a woman.There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person can't tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green.Human beings have favorite colors. Blue is often popular because it is the color which makes us think of wide fields and forests. Yellow is the cheerful color of the sun. On the other hand, red is the color of blood and fire. It makes some people think of accidents, danger and blood. Black is the color of the night. In the dark, we can't see what is around us, some are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a color. Perhaps that is why it is often the color of mourning. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19.What can we learn from the passage?20.What happened to some color-blind people?21.What color is associated with cheerfulness?Passage ThreeDespite the presence of workaholics, there is a growing realization in the United States that too much work demand can be physically and mentally harmful. Many people have been rebelling against the work ethic, saying that no job is so important as to damage per sonal relationships and rob people of relaxation. There has been a shift in values, with more emphasis being given to personal relationships and relaxation. Leisure time provides opportunities to find personal satisfaction and freedom from the routine of work.Increased leisure time in the United States has not altered the idea that work and play are distinct activities. This distinction is clear-cut; there are "work-hours" and "after work-hours". There is a belief that it is desirable "to work hard and play hard" and undesirable to combine the two. In many offices, stores, and factories socializing among employees is discouraged. An employee under pressure at work often cannot afford to respond to social calls and visits. However,the amount of personal contact on the job depends on the nature of the work. There may be more social interaction between teachers in a school than between scientists doing independent research. Nevertheless, work and play are usually perceived and maintained as separate activities. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22.What is the result of too much work demand?23.In order to rebel against the work ethic, what do many people believe now?24.What do people expect an employee under pressure at work to do?25.What does the speaker imply by saying "the distinction is clear-cut"?Section COne night in April 1912, a huge new ocean liner, the Titanic, was crossing in the Atlantic. She was just about the most (26) luxurious ship that had ever been built. She was going very fast, which was (27) dangerous because there were icebergs around and it was very dark that night. The passengers were all having a good time when the ship suddenly (28) struck one of the icebergs.The ship began to (29) sink and the passengers tried to escape, but there were not e-nough lifeboats since nobody thought they would ever be (30) necessary. Eight white rockets were fired into the air in order to get help. Another ship, the California, was (31) passing nearby. An officer and another sailor on it saw the rockets. They thought that perhaps people were having a party on (32) board of the Titanic and were just (33) firing the rockets in fun. (34) Anyway they did wake the captain. But the captain was too sleepy to understand and the California just went on sailing away, in another direction.When the Titanic finally went down, (35) a dance band was still playing music up on the deck until the last few seconds. They were trying to keep the passengers calm. Two thirds of the passengers were drowned. (36) It was one of the greatest sea disasters of all time.Model Test 51-5 BCACC 6-10 DCABC 11-15 CBAAD 16-20 BDCAA 21-25 BCBBA26. luxurious 27. dangerous 28. struck 29. sink 30. necessary31. passing 32. board 33. firing34.
