英国广播公司国际广播电台是世界上最大的广播网，在全球拥有1.4亿听众，可以通过短波、中波、调频和卫星收听以44种语言广播的节目。我们有一项雄心勃勃的计划，即明年起使用全新的卫星数码技术进行广播。国际互联网的出现使我们（广播人）措手不及。国际互联网可以使位于世界任何一个地方的广播电台以很小的投资便可成为一家国际广播站。虽然互联网广播的音质远非完善，但却胜于短波。互联网电台的出现不仅意味着竞争，同时也提供了机会。英国广播公司非成认真地对待互联网广播一事。

SECTION4: TRANSLATION(2)

As the nation’s earliest established special economic zone, Shenzhen has very close economic contacts with the innerland provinces. Especially after the returning of Hongkong to the motherland, the number of passengers coming and leaving Shenzhen is increasing rapidly. Shenzhen Airport claims to be one of the ten largest airports in the country. Because Shenzhen is located in the subtropical zone, there exists quite big temperature difference between the city and northern areas in China. So the passengers from the north are always anxious to take off their overdressed warm clothes for the first important thing to do after landing in order to adapt themselves to the local temperature.

For the convenience of the passengers, Shenzhen Airport Administration set up 4 well-furnished changerooms. The passengers can change their clothes, tidy themselves up in the easy and pleasant surroundings, so as to leave a good first impression on the relatives and friends who come to meet them at the airport.

SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST

Part A: Spot Dictation

Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of’ the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage only once. Now let’s begin Part A with Spot Dictation.

The usual good-luck wish to a theatre actor who is about to go on stage or to be engaged in a performance Is to say “Break a leg”. This may seem to be a rather unkind thing to say to someone who is probably already quite impatient, restless and nervous. But most theatre actors and actresses are, by tradition, very superstitious people. And they would do everything to avoid slipping or throwing themselves into “stage fr ight”.

Among many actors and actresses, it is thought that wishing for good luck from their friends and colleagues will have the opposite effect. Consequently, by wishing for bad luck, it is hoped that the actor or actress will in fact have good luck.

Actors and actresses also consider noisy, squeaking shoes to be a sign of good luck, and it is also good luck to have a theatre cat. On the other hand, bad luck can come from all directions; it comes from the audience’s whistling in the theatre, from the actor’s repeating the last line of the play at rehearsal and from certain shades of the colour yellow in the background of the stage.

Where do these traditional fears or worries come from? Some people believe them to be the result of an actor’s artistic personality. The real reason, although, may have more to do with simply being frightened about performing live in front of a large audience and making silly, laughable mistakes. After all, acting is a very unstable profession. If an actor performs badly, it is very likely that he would gradually lose his confidence and eventually his job and livelihood. Under such adverse and frightful conditions, it is not surprising that actors and actresses always expect bad things to happen.

Part B: Listening Comprehension
