He says future applications of the technology might improve yields of farm crops that are more resistant to diseasePassage 1The World Health Organization says [26①] more effort is needed to stop the trade in forged medicine. The United Nations heath agency says [26②]countries must work together to fight the growing threat from drugs that are not what they seem.[26③]W.H.O. officials discussed the problem during a recent high-level meeting in Rome. Delegates at the conference included representatives of government agencies, consumer groups and the drug industry.Forged medicines trick people into believing they are taking something that will make them well. Instead, it might them sicker or even kill them.The World Health Organization says forged medicines are present in all countries. [27]Experts point out the problem is worst in developing countries. Forged medicines are thought to represent ten percent of drug sales worldwide. A group in the United States estimates that profits from forged drug sales will reach seventy-five billion dollars by 2010. The Center for medicines in the Public Interest estimated the profits last year at almost forty billion dollars.[28]W.H.O. officials says identifying forged medicines is getting more difficult. Criminals are improving their methods.Representatives at the meeting in Rome agreed to create an international expert group. Among its duties, the new group will try to strengthen national laws and establish better systems to identify forged drugs. Passage 2[29]It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different thins: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much interest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.One year, after posting his check as usual, [30]he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, decide that the had not.He believed that he owed the government something.He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. [31] The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to taxpayer.Passage 3[33] In Britain there is a [32①]National Health Service(NHS) which is paid for by taxes and National Insurance, and in general people do not have to pay for medical treatment. Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area, known as a general practitioner or GP. This means that their names are on the GP’s list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill. GPs are trained in general medicine but are not specialists in any particular subject. If a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, they must first go to their GP and then the GP will make an appointment for the patient to see a specialist at a hospital or clinic.Although everyone in Britain can have free treatment under the [32②]NHS, it is also possible for him to have treatment done privately, for which he has to pay. [34] Some people have private health insurance to help them pay for private treatment. [35] Under the [32③]NHS, people who need to go to hospital may have to wait for a long time on a waiting list for their treatment . Anyone who is very ill can call an ambulance and get taken to hospital for free urgent medical treatment . Ambulance are a free service in Britain.Scripts for Model 211 – 15 BCCDD 16 – 20 CACDC21 – 25 BAADC 26 – 30 CBDBA31 – 35 DACBBCompound Dictation36. warnings 37. director 38. held 39. greatest40. worldwide 41. disease 42. generally 43. noted44.

The plan calls for teaching foreign languages to more children, as early as the age for four. It also aims to increase foreign language instruction in college and graduate school.Administration officials will ask for one hundred fourteen million dollars in 2007 to start the program. They say too many American children learn only English. They say only forty-four percent of American high school students take any foreign language. [27] And seventy percent of those are learning Spanish.The plan calls for sending more American students to other countries for part of their college studies. And it calls for bringing more foreign language teaching assistants to the United States.Research shows that children have an easier time than adults learning languages. Y et less than one-third of American elementary schools teach languages other than English. [28] And experts say most of these schools just teach the basics, not how to speak a foreign language well.Officials say American needs intelligence officers who can understand other languages. But that is not the only reason for the program. It will also show that Americans care enough about other cultures to learn to speak their language. Passage 2Australia is the home of the kangaroo. In most parts of the world, a person must go to a zoo to see a kangaroo. In Australia, kangaroos move about in freedom in the forests and on the plains. Long ago, kangaroos were giants. They were almost ten feet tall. Today, kangaroos are about the size of a man. They are five to six feet tall and weigh about 150 pounds. [29] Kangaroos stand on their large hind legs. They use these hind legs for jumping and, if necessary, for fighting.Close to the kangaroo’s bodies are small front legs. These are for finding and holding food.A kangaroo has a pouch. A baby kangaroo lives inside its mother for only thirty to forty days. At birth, the baby is only about one inch long and it is not fully formed. Its eyes and ears are closed, it has no fur, and its hind legs are not developed. [30] This small baby climbs up its mother’s body and into her pouch. It takes hold of a nipple and stays there for many weeks, nursing and developing. Soon, its eyes open and its ears form. It grows fur. Finally the baby kangaroo lets go of the nipple and looks outside. Soon, it climbs in and out of the pouch easily. [31] At six moths of age, the young kangaroo leaves the pouch. Now it’s called a joey.Passage 3The key to a good interview is through preparation. [32] If you have prepared yourself well, the interview will likely run smoothly and you will present yourself confidently.As soon as you are invited to attend an interview, start researching facts about the company, such as the number of persons the company employs, specific fields in which it is involved, work for which it is particularly well know, its major products and services, location of branch offices, and the company’s involvement in community activities. Such knowledge can be extremely useful during the interview, [33] because it permits you to ask intelligent questions at appropriate places—questions that indicate to the interviewer that you have done your homework.[34] Y ou also need to prepare for difficult questions and interview may ask to test your readiness for the interview and the sincerity of your application. Y ou may be asked ―Why do you want to join our organization?‖, ―How do you think you can contribute to our company?‖, ―Why do you want to leave your present employer?‖, ―What do you expect to be doing in five years Ten years?‖, [35①] If you have not prepared for such questions, and so hesitate before answering,an interviewer may interpret your hesitation to mean you find a question difficult to answer or there are factors you would rather to hide. [35②] In either case, you may inattentively provide an entirely misleading impression of yourself.Scripts for Model 311 – 15 ACADA 16 – 20 BCCCD21 – 25 DBBCB 26 – 30 ABDCD31 – 35 ABACCCompound dictation36. employment 37. against 38. shocked 39. factories40. unchanged 41. confined 42. particularly 43. practices44.

But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources such as gasoline, and give off pollution. [27] Green building are often built on previously developed land,so that the buildings don’t destroy forests o r other wild habitats.Mary Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green residential high-rise building. According to Dettling, ―We’ve reduced our energy consumption by one-third and our water by 50 percent.‖Not everyone is leaping to move into a green building, however. [28] Some people think that features such as solar panels cost more money than traditional energy sources. Despite this, Dettling hopes that green buildings will become common in the future. ―It’s going to be big,‖ she said.EnthusiasticEnthusiasmPassage2About 70 million Americans are trying to lose weight. That is almost one out of every three people in the United States. Some people go on diets. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. [29①] So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?[29②] Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy.[30]Most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstore sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written.Some people diet alone. They say dieting should be private. Some people join weight-control clubs. One club is called Weight Watchers International. [31] The group uses psychology and special diet plans to help its members lose weight.In return, members pay Weight Watchers a fee.Passage3In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. [32] A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks. While attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect a take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as regular practice.[33] For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to future employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organization arouse much enthusiasm. [34] A student who has held one of these positions is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. [35]Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court.Scripts for Model 411 – 15 ABACC 16 – 20 ADAAD21 – 25 CCABD 26 – 30 DCADA31 – 35 BCBABSection C:36. called 37. active 38. graduate 39. nominated 40. federal 41. requirements 42. excellent 43. marks44. there are forty-four cadets who were sent by other countries for a military education.45.
