Now you will hear a passage followed by five questions. Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.
The first requirement for my online language class was to meet in an online forum(论坛). I entered the forum early and saw students appear on the screen one after another. Strangely enough, when it was time to begin, the teacher still hadn’t shown up1. However, we began sharing information and talking about the new class. Unlike me, all of the other students were new to the online class. I told them about my experience and my thoughts. Then I noticed something. There were 27 people in the forum. This was strange because I know there were only 26 people in the class.
“Hey,”I wrote, “which one of you is the teacher?”
The teacher made herself known at last. She said that she wanted to get our honest opinions about the online class. Also, she wanted to have a little fun with us. “Humor will be important in my class,”she said.

Task 1
Now you will hear a long conversation followed by five questions. Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.
M: All right, everyone. Good work. That’s all for today’s class. Does anyone have any questions?
W: Excuse me, Professor. I have a question. I’m worried about my English skills. I get good marks on tests, but I don’t feel that I’m learning a lot.
M: Not exactly a question is it, Winnie? But it’s a good concern. Many advanced English learners have a large “passive vocabulary”, but they worry about their “active vocabulary”. They can understand many difficult English words when reading or listening, but they don’t use most of them when speaking or writing in English. They feel this is a problem. They would like to use all the difficult words that they know.
W: Do you think that I use too few words?
M: That’s not what I’m saying at all. Actually, I’m saying the opposite thing.
W: I’m afraid I don’t understand.
M: In your native language, there are also thousands of words that you understand but you don’t use. So your active vocabulary in your
native language is much smaller than your passive vocabulary. And I guess that you are not worried about that.
W: No, I’m not. But I would like to use the new words that I learn in my English classes. How else am I going to remember them?
M: Now that’s a very good question.
W: I was hoping that you had an answer to this question.
M: Winnie, you don’t need to worry about using“too few”English words. As your needs for different things grow, you will be able to use your new words more and more. I think you’d be surprised by how much you know.
W: So your advice to me is “Don’t worry.”? Now I’m worried that I’m paying too much for school.
1. Who are likely to worry about their active vocabulary? D
2. What is “active vocabulary”according to the professor? D
3. What do many English learners want to do? A
4. What does the professor say about vocabulary in one’s native language? B
5. What does the professor want to tell Winnie? D
Task 2
Now you will hear a passage followed by five questions. Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.
The biggest problem most people face in learning English is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly so they don’t speak English at all. Don’t do this. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting1 what you want.
The best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. The more English material you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely you will begin thinking in English.
Music can be a very effective tool to learning English. The best way is to use the lyrics(歌词) and try to read them as the artist sings. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.
Watching English movies is not only fun but also very effective. By watching English movies, you can expand2 your vocabulary and learn the natural flows of speech from actors.
1. What is the biggest problem that many English learners have? B
2. Why do some English learners NOT speak English at all? B
3. What is the best way to learn English according to the speaker? D
4. What is the best way to learn English through music? A
5. How can you benefit from watching English movies? C

Unit 2
Warming Up
Having problems with your parents? Because society has been changing so rapidly during the last few years, the gap between the generations has become larger. So it can be difficult for children and their parents to relate1. Parents often find the ideas and ways of their children offensive（冒犯的，无礼的）. And children, often teenagers, tend to be rebellious and act badly.
More than at any other time, Chilling Out with the Folks（和父母轻松相处）, a set of self-help recordings that bring the generations together, is necessary. Chilling Out with the Folks will help you develop the patience and tolerance（容忍，宽容） necessary to bridge（弥合起来） any generational divide（分歧）. Honestly, it will change your life! Listen to these recordings today, and begin your trip down the road to peace and perfection!

Understanding a Long Conversation
Now you will hear a long conversation followed by five questions. Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.
M: You should get a sense of humor, Mom.
W: I’m sorry, but I just don’t think that breaking shop windows is funny.
M: If it isn’t funny, then I don’t know what is. These shop windows only show things out of date and out of fashion. They’re misleading. Anyway, it’s fun to break old stuff.
W: And that’s what I’m saying. You don’t know what’s funny. When I was a teenager, I enjoyed movies and going out with my friends, not causing trouble or breaking things.
M: This is just the big difference between your generation and mine.
W: NO, it isn’t! I know teenagers of your age, and they don’t have your bad attitude! And they certainly never break shop windows!

Understanding a Passage
Now you will hear a passage followed by five questions. Listen carefully and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.
“Educator（教师，教育工作者）methods”, such as not buying toys for children who act up, do not always work. I personally think that even though parents teach their children many things, they should not act like teachers all the time. After my “Educator methods”failed, I spent some quality one-on-one time（用于全心照顾某人，尤指下班后与孩子一起度过的宝贵时光） with my daughter with NO lecturing about her behavior. For example, we went out for ice cream. While we sat and ate, we spent a long time watching other people and talking about the things around us. Then we went to a bookstore where she looked for a book to buy. It took her a long time, but I was patient. We finally bought her a book and finished our outing（户外散步，短途旅行） together. At the end, we decided to have similar outings once a month, because it really
was fun. My main goal was to let her know that I love her.
1. What did the speaker do to his daughter when his “Educator methods” failed? D
2. What did the speaker and his daughter do while having ice cream? B
3. What happened at the bookstore? A
4. How often did the speaker and his daughter decide to go out together? C
5. What was the main purpose for the speaker’s outing with his daughter? A

M: I know he worked hard.
W: That’s true. Many years ago, your grandpa didn’t have enough money to live.
M: That sounds awful!
W: It does. He used all his money to buy an apple. And he sold that apple for enough money to buy two.
M: And he just kept going like this?
W: That’s right, Jerry. By the end of the month, he had $20
M: Wow! No wonder Grandpa says young people complain too much! Your generation worked much harder! Grandpa became rich, and he
did it all with one apple.

and left us a fortune(财产，大量的钱). Your grandpa never had to work again.

time to start preparing.

you may think it’s crazy, but there are people who are rock stars. Instead of immediately saying no to your teen’s idea, you should talk about what he’ll need to do to reach his goal.

Warming Up
What is important for living a life meaning? Successfully passing the tests for your graduation? Or a handsome（丰厚的，大量的）six-figure income? Both of them are nothing compared to the lessons taught to you
by simple people with good hearts.

W: Did the teacher help the boy solve his problems?

still laughed at（嘲笑）me, just as they did in high school.
One day, when I was leaving the science building, someone ran past
me and knocked the books out of my hands.
I was feeling sad and lonely. But then, someone else approached1 me and helped me pick up2 my book. That day, I made my first university friend. Suddenly, life improved. I helped him with his studies. And he helped me with everything else. He taught me how to dress right, how to

M: What can I do for you?

M: Uh-huh.
W: Well, you didn’t mention anything about your father.

Task 2
Now you will hear a passage followed by five questions. Listen carefully and
choose the best answer from the four possible choices.
Being nasty and impatient has advantages. For example, since I am not nice, I tend to get what I want. People listen to me, and I don’t have many problems.
There are people in this world who are caring. I suppose it is good that our world has such people, because they help others. Still, I try not
to learn anything from these good people. Goodness, after all, has a price.
My friend is one of those good people. He once saved a child from a fire. He was the right man at the right time. The child was lucky. My friend was there and not me, because I would’ve been reluctant(不情愿的) to help. In fact, I probably wouldn’t have helped. Fires, you know, are dangerous.
By thinking about myself first, I’ve saved myself from being hurt or uncomfortable. But sometimes I wonder whether my friend has the better life.
1. What does the speaker think about being nasty and impatient? C
