Come in. How are you settling in next door? Have all your things from Canada arrived yet? I thought I saw a removals van outside your house yesterday afternoon.MRS SUTTON: Yes. They came yesterday. We spent all day yesterday arranging them. It’s beginning to feel a bit more like home now.MRS SMITH: That’s good. Look, come in and sit down. Are you alright? You look a bit worried.MRS SUTTON: Well, I am a bit. I’m sorry to bother you so early, Mrs Smith, but I wonder if you could help me. Could you tell me how I can get hold of a doctor? Our daughter, Anna, isn’t very well this morning and I may have Q11 to call somebody out. She keeps being sick and I am beginning to get a bit worried. I just don’t know how the health system works here in England. All I know is that it’s very different from ours back in Canada.MRS SMITH: Well, I don’t know really where to start. Let me think. Well, the first thing you have to do is find a family doctor sometimes we call them general practitioners as well - and register with him or her. If you live here, you’ve got to be on a doctor’s list. If you’re not, things can be a bit difficult. Nobody will come out to you if you’re not registered. Anyway, they work Q12 in things called practices. Sort of small groups of family doctors all working together in the same building. Now what you’ve got to do this morning is register with one of them. There are two practices near here, so we’re quite well off for doctors in this part of Manchester. There’s the Dean End Health Centre about ten minutes’ walk away and there’s another practice in South Hay. That’s about five minutes away going towards the town centre. We’re registered at the Dean End one, but they’re both OK. There are about six doctors in Q13 our practice and four in the other. So ours is quite big in comparison. Q14 And the building and everything’s a bit more modern. South Hay is a bit old-fashioned but the doctors are OK. Their only problem is that they Q15 don’t have a proper appointment system. Sometimes you have to wait for ages there to see someone. Anyway, you go to the receptionist in whichever health centre and ask her to register you with a doctor there. You have to fill in a form, but it doesn’t take long. Ours is called Dr Jones and we’ve been going to him for years - ever since we moved here fifteen years ago. I wouldn’t say he’s brilliant but I suppose he’s alright really. We’re used to him now. They say Q16 he’s very good with elderly people, but he does tend to get a bit impatient with children. Listen, the one who’s supposed to be really good with small children is Dr Shaw. I’ve heard lots of people say that. She’s young and she’s got small children of her own. So you could try registering with her. And if her list is full,I heard somebody say the other day that there’s a really nice young doctor at South Hay, a Dr Williams. He holds special Q17 clinics for people with back trouble. But that’s not really your problem, is it?MRS SMITH: If you want a doctor to visit you at home, you have to ask for a home visit. You’re supposed to do that before 10.30 in the morning, but obviously, if it’s an emergency, you can phone at any time, night or day. It might not be your doctor that comes, though. It’s quite often one of the other doctors in the practice. It doesn’t really seem to make much difference. Otherwise you make an appointment to see your doctor at the health centre. You usually get seen the same day. Not always of course, but usually, as I say. They hold surgeries between 9 and 11.30 every weekday, Q18 and from 4 to 6.30 Monday to Thursday. Saturdays are only for emergencies. When the doctor sees you, he gives you a prescription. He writes what medication you need on it and you take it to a chemist’s shop. There’s one opposite the centre. If it’s for a child under 16, you don’t have to pay. So if it’s for Anna, there’s no problem. The same thing goes if you’re unemployed or retired, Q19 or if you’re pregnant. Just as well because it’s not cheap. You pay the same price for each item the doctor has prescribed. At the moment it’s Q20 something like £5 per item. So you pay for the medication but the consultation with the doctor doesn’t cost you anything. It’s completely free as long as you’re a resident here. You’re going to be here for three years, aren’t you? So there shouldn’t be any question of you paying anything to see the doctor. So that’s one less problem to worry about. Look, Mrs Sutton. If you want, I’ll sit with your daughter for half an hour if you want to go down to the health centre to register. It’s no trouble really, don’t worry.MRS SUTTON: Are you sure you wouldn’t mind? That would really help me a lot. I’ll ask them if they can send someone round later to see Anna. I think I’ll try the Dean End Centre.MRS SMITH: Good idea. Don’t worry about Anna.MRS SUTTON: Right. I’ll be back as soon as I can.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11 and 12Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.11.Who is Mrs Sutton worried about?正确答案:(her) daughter (Anna)12.What is the name for a group of family doctors working in the same building together?正确答案:(a) practiceQuestions 13-17Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS OR A NUMBER for each answer.13.【13】正确答案:(about) 614.【14】正确答案:(about) 415.【15】正确答案:better16.【16】正确答案:elderly17.【17】正确答案:back problems/troubleQuestions 18-20Question 18Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR A NUMBER.Doctors start seeing patients at the Health Centre from 【18】______ o’clock.18.【18】正确答案:nine/9 o’clock19.Question 19Choose TWO letters A-E.Which TWO groups of patients receive free medication?[A]people over 17 years old[B]unemployed people[C]non-UK residents[D]people over 60 years old[E]pregnant women正确答案:B/E20.Question 20Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR A NUMBER.The charge for one item of medication is about £【20】______正确答案:(£) 5听力原文:TUTOR: Hello.

Paula...PAULA CLAYBURG: Do you know what Prince Charles, Seve Ballesteros and Elizabeth Taylor have in common? They all suffer from chronic back pain. In fact, bad backs are one of the most common health problems today, affecting people in all walks of life. The most recent available figures show that about a quarter of a million people are incapacitated with 【Q31】back pain every day. And many sufferers don’t know the cause or the solution to their problem. The majority of our patients at the clinic tend to be women. They are especially vulnerable because of pregnancy but also because of osteoporosis, which I personally believe to be the major cause of problems for women. I have many women patients who say they have 【Q32】completely given up exercise because the pain makes them so miserable. But of course that starts up a vicious circle. Bedrest, giving up exercise and pain killers are traditional responses to back pain but, although there are many excellent drugs on the market, at our clinic we are beginning to realise the unique benefits of relaxation therapy. Other 【Q33】specialists in the field make a strong case for certain types of exercise, but in our experience they are easily mishandled and can lead to more harm than good. Now, let’s look at some of the reasons why back pain is developing into such a unique menace. In general, the body is pretty good at self- repair. A strain or a blow to a limb, though painful at the time, generally resolves itself. But the body’s response to back injury can be very counter-productive. When pain strikes, we attempt to keep the 【Q34】back as immobile as possible, which makes the muscles tense up. Research shows that they often go into spasm, which causes further twisting of the spine. A vicious circle is underway. The second mistake we often make when stricken with extreme back pain is to go to bed and stay there. Although at the clinic we recognise that a short rest in bed can be helpful.., up to two days.., any longer 【Q35】makes our back muscles become weaker and unable to hold up our spine. The pain therefore becomes worse. Another problem is being overweight. Anyone a stone or more over- 【Q36】weight who already has back pain is not doing himself any favours: though it won’t actually set it off in the first place, the weight will increase the strain and make things worse. The British diet could be partially to blame for the increase in back pain: over the last ten years the average weight of men has risen by 11 lbs and of women by 9 lbs. So much for the causes and aggravations of pain. But what can WE do to help? There are many ways in which simple day-to-day care can make all the difference. The first point to watch of course is weight. If you are overweight, a diet will make all the difference. Also, studies have shown that just one hour sitting in a slouched position can strain ligaments in the back which can take months to heal. At the clinic we have come to the conclusion that the major cause of the problem is not with the design of chairs, as some have suggested, but in the way WE sit in them. It can be useful to get special orthopaedic 【Q37】chairs, but remember the most important improvement should be in OUR posture. Another enemy of your back is, of course, your beds. If your bed doesn’t give enough support, back muscles and ligaments work all night trying to correct spinal alignment, so you wake up with a tired aching back. Try out an orthopaedic mattress or a spring slatted bed. Research shows that both can be beneficial for certain types of back pain. Another hazard for your back are the shock waves which travel up your spine when you walk, known as heel strike. A real find for our patients has been the shock-absorbing shoe insert. A cheap but very 【Q38】effective solution. And you might be better off avoiding shoes with heels higher than 1 1/2A inches. Though absolutely flat shoes can be a solution for some, others find their posture suffers. 【Q39】Finally a word about the state-of-the-art relief - the TENS machine - a small battery-powered gadget which delivers subliminal electrical pulses to the skin. Our experience indicates that your money is better 【Q40】spent on the more old-fashioned remedies.SECTION 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-36Choose the correct letters A-C.31.Which column of the bar chart represents the figures quoted?A.AB.BC.C正确答案:A32.According to the speaker, the main cause of back pain in women is ______.A.pregnancy.B.osteoporosis.C.lack of exercise正确答案:B33.As treatment for back pain the Clinic mainly recommends ______.A.pain killers.B.relaxation therapy.C.exercise routines.正确答案:B34.The back is different from other parts of the body because ______.A.it is usually better at self-repair.B.a back injury is usually more painful.C.its response to injury often results in more damage.正确答案:C35.Bed rest is advised ______.A.for a maximum of two days.B.for extreme pain only.C.for pain lasting more than two days.正确答案:A36.Being overweight ______.A.is a major source of back pain.B.worsens existing back pain.C.reduces the effectiveness of exercise.正确答案:BQuestions 37-40Choose the correct letters A-C.[A] Strongly recommended[B] Recommended in certain circumstances[C] Not recommended37.Buy special orthopaedic chairs A.Strongly recommended B.Recommended in certain circumstances C.Not recommended正确答案:B38.Buy shock-absorbing inserts A.Strongly recommended B.Recommended in certain circumstances C.Not recommended正确答案:A39.Wear flat shoesA.Strongly recommended B.Recommended in certain circumstances C.Not recommended正确答案:B40.Buy TENS machineA.Strongly recommended B.Recommended in certain circumstances C.Not recommended正确答案:C。

Over to you,Jane.JANE: Thank you, Geoffrey. This year, the Summer Festival is the biggest we’ve ever seen, so there should be something for everybody. This is the third year they’ve run it and the timing’s slightly different: for the last couple of years it’s been around the fifth to seventeenth, but this year they wanted to allow everyone enough time to recover from the first of January celebrations and they’ve put it (Q11) at the end of the month.The programme has sensational theatre, dance and also a large number of art exhibitions, but the thing the Festival is most famous for is its great street music. For today’s report though, Geoffrey, I’m looking at some of the (Q12) theatrical events that you might like to see; in particular, at this year’s theme – circuses.I’m going to tell you about two circus performances, but there are (Q13) plenty of others in the progralmme. I’ve chosen these because they represent distinct movements within circus performance. The first is the Circus Romano from Italy. As this is a travelling circus, it follows a long tradition by performing (Q14) in a marquee– which is really like a canvas portable building, usually put up in a green space or car park, rather than in a theatre or stadium.In spite of this, Circus Romano isn’t at all like the traditional circuses I grew up with. There are no animals – just very talented clowning and acrobatic routines. The show has a lot of very funny moments, especially at the beginning, but the best part is the music and (Q15) lighting. They’re magical. At forty-five dollars it’s very expensive anyway – it’s really for (Q16) adult tastes. In fact, much of it would be wasted on children – so I suggest you leave them at home.The second circus performance is Circus Electrica at the (Q17) Studio Theatre. The purists are suggesting that this isn’t a circus at all. It’s a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than the usual ones you expect in a circus. With only six performers it’s a small production, which suits the venue well – the Studio only seats about two hundred people. For my money it’s the aerial displays which are outstanding as well as the magical tricks – features which are missing from Circus Romano. An interesting feature of the show is that the performers are so young – the youngest is only fourteen. But it’s still well worth seeing: a good one for (Q18) the whole family.And finally, as it’s summer, you may wish to see some of the Festival performances that are being presented outdoors. Like the famous Mekong Water Puppet Troupe, performing in the (Q19) City Gardens this week. Now, water puppetry is amazing! It’s large puppets on long sticks, controlled by puppeteers standing waist deep in the lake. The puppets do comedy routines andthere is some terrific formation dancing. This is a fantastic show and the best moment comes at the end –seeing the puppeteers. When the troupe walks up out of the water, you get this amazing feeling. It’s really hard to believe that what you’ve been watching is lifeless wood and cloth. As an adult, I had a great time, but I did note that other older people in the audience weren’t quite as taken with it as I was. It’s a must for (Q20) young children though, and that’s the audience it’s really aimed at.Well, that’s all I’ve time for today, but I’II be back next week with more news of what’s worth seeing and what it’s best to miss.SECTION 3OFFICER: Hello. Er, I’m Dawn Matthews.STUDENT: Yes, hello. I’ve been referred to you because I’m enquiring about the refresher courses that you run. I’d like to find out a bit more about them.OFFICER: OK. Well, we run quite a few different short courses for students who are either (Q21)returning to study or studying part-time. Um, tell me about your situation. STUDENT: Well, I think that I really need some help in preparing for the coming semester, especially to build up my confidence a bit and help me study effectively because, yousee, I’ve been out in the work-force for nearly twelve years now, so it really is a longtime since I was last a student.OFFICER: Yes, it can seem like a long time, can’t it Um, well, let me start by telling you what courses we have that might suit you. Are you an undergraduate or postgraduate Artsor SciencesSTUDENT: Undergraduate, and I’m in the Business faculty.OFFICER: Right then. First of all, there’s our intensive ‘Study for Success’ seminar on (Q22) the first and second of February. It’s aimed at students like you who are uncertain aboutwhat to expect at college, and looks at a fairly wide range of approaches to universitylearning, to motivate you to begin your study and build on your own learningstrategies.STUDENT: Mm, that sounds good. What are some of the strategies that are presented OFFICER: Well, we try to cover all aspects of study. Some of the strategies in writing, for example, would be improving your planning for writing, organising your thinking andbuilding some techniques to help you (Q23) write more clearly. With reading,there’ll be sessions aimed at getting into the habit of (Q24) analysing material asyou read it, and tips to help you record and remember what you have read. It reallyis very important to begin reading confidently right from the beginning. STUDENT: Mm.OFFICER: There’s also advice on how to get the most from your lectures and practice in giving confident presentations, as well as how to prepare for exams.STUDENT: What about the motivational side of thingsOFFICER: Ah. Well, there’s a range of motivational exercises that we do to help the students feel (Q25) positive and enthusiastic about their study. The process of learning andexploring a subject can lead to a whole new way of looking at the world, and thestudy skills and techniques that you build up can be applied in all sorts of differentways.STUDENT: Actually, I… I’m very excited about the whole thing of taking up studying again but, you know, I’m a little nervous about whether I’ll manage to get everything done. Isuppose it’s the same for all mature studentsOFFICER: Of course it is. Two of the key components of the course are (Q26) time management and overcoming procrastination. People discover that, once they learnto plan their days, all the work can be accomplished and there’ll still be time forleisure.STUDENT: Is there an enrolment feeOFFICER: Well, er, oh, just a minute, let’s see . . . Ah, the cost is thirty pounds, which includes all course materials and morning tea. You have to arrange your own lunch. STUDENT: That wouldn’t be a problem. I already make sandwiches for my three kids and my wife and myself every day. I won’t have to change my routine.OFFICER: No. Now, I need to tell you that this is a very popular course and it’s essential that you (Q27) book well ahead of time. In fact, the Course Convenor tells me that thereare only five places left.STUDENT: What other course might be good for meOFFICER: There is one other that you could benefit from. It’s simply called ‘Learning Skills for University Study’ and is on (Q28) three consecutive mornings starting on a Monday,from nine to twelve, and costs twenty-five pounds. This is aimed at upgrading thestudy skills most school-leavers have and help them cope with the increaseddemands of university study. It focuses mainly on making students more responsiblefor their own success.STUDENT: What sort of things are covered in this courseOFFICER: Well, basically it’s more advanced thinking, note-taking, reading and writing strategies, but also some input about (Q29) stress management.STUDENT: I think I’d be better off (Q30) starting from the basics and looking at all the strategies, don’t youOFFICER: Yes, from what you’ve told me, I think that’s more in line with your situation. STUDENT: Alright then, um, can I book a place on the ‘Study for Success’ seminar course now OFFICER: Yes. Let me just get out a registration form and take down your details.SECTION 4We’re very grateful that the Committee has agreed that a representative for the Students’Union can present students’ suggestions about the design for the proposed new Union building. We appreciate that some of our ideas may not be feasible in the circumstances, but we do feel that it is important that the ultimate beneficiaries of the facilities should have some say in its design.If I could start by briefly explaining what steps were taken to find out student opinion and how we have arrived at conclusions. Firstly, a meeting was held in the current Union for our SU Committee to explain the options. Then we invited all students to submit written suggestions for the design, placing cards in a suggestion box. These suggestions then provided the basis for the design of a (Q31) questionnaire, which was completed by (Q32) approximately two thousand of the College students over a period of three weeks. Finally, the SU Committee collated the resultsand drew up a report. If I can just hand around a copy of that report. This presentation is essentially a summary and discussion of the key points of this report.So, in broad terms, the consensus was as follows. Firstly, regarding the crucial matter of the site, we presented the three options that you have proposed. One: in the city centre, near the Faculty of (Q33) Education; two: on the outskirts of the city, near the park, and three: out of town, near the (Q34) halls of residence. We asked students to cite reasons for and against these sites and, and there was remarkable agreement on all three. Site One was unpopular because of (Q35) traffic and parking problems. Site Two had a number of supporters, mainly because it was close to (Q36) most lecture rooms. And Site Three, out of town, near the halls of residence, was clearly the most popular because of access from living quarters. It was clear that the Union was mainly to be used after lectures. It was also felt that the large site would allow (Q37) more room for a choice of facilities.Our second area of interest was obviously the facilities: there was minimal interest in having a library on the premises, but one option seemed to be a reading room instead – more useful. We would like the current table games room to be replaced with (Q38) a small gym. And, if possible, a small swimming pool – not, of course, Olympic-sized! There was a large number of respondents in favour of a travel agent’s and insurance centre. We also request that there be the offices of the Student Counselling Centre, moving this from the Refectory. There was, however, much disagreement about whether to build a drama theatre. Just over forty per cent of the respondents were in favour, but a largish minority were strongly against it, claiming that it is (Q39) elitist and a waste of funds. Essentially the jury is out on that.Finally, given the number of unfortunate incidents in the current Union over the past few months, a strong point was repeatedly made about security. The recommendations would be at least (Q40) video surveillance and security personnel who would check Student Union cards on request. We doubt if it would be feasible in.Well, this is the summary of the views of the student population. As I say, fuller details are given in our report but I’m happy to take any questions if you have them . . .。

6This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.Soil naturally contains harmless amounts of lead, along with other metals. Because of pollution, however, the amounts are higher the closer you get to cities and towns. But experts say this should not stop gardeners from growing food if they take safety measures.[Lead from paint, fuel and industry can pollute soil and harm children]David Johnson is a chemistry professor in the State University of New York's College of Environmental Science and Forestry. He explains that lead can enter the ground from leaded paint and leaded fuel and from industry.And once lead gets into the soil, it stays a long time. It remains an environmental threat especially to children. Lead can harm mental and physical development even in babies before they are born.If a test finds that soil has too much lead, you might be advised to remove the soil or cover it with sod grass. Different countries have different levels that they consider acceptable.Carl Rosen of the University of Minnesota Extension notes that concerns about lead have increased now that more people are planting gardens. But Professor Rosen says plants generally do not absorb much lead. He says there is likely more risk from lead dust on plants or from playing in the soil than from the plant itself.Still, some plants do absorb more than others. Experts say good choices for the garden include tomatoes, peppers, beans and okra. Among the plants that can absorb more contaminants, they say, are root crops, leafy vegetables and herbs. If you grow carrots, for example, you might want to peel them. Dirt may be harder to remove from some crops than from others. But all produce should be washed.Gardens should be planted away from roads and structures, especially old buildings. Home gardeners should plant away from the foundation of their house. And lead amounts can be especially high near industrial areas and waste dumps.Soil should also be tested for its pH level, a measure of the acid and alkaline balance. Experts say the ability to take up lead is reduced when the pH level is above six and a half. Adding organic material such as compost to soil can also make lead less available to plants.Some people attempt a process called phytoremediation. They try to remove lead from soil by growing certain plants that collect it. But Professor Rosen says the process is complex and may not work.And that's the VOA Special English Agriculture Report, written by Jerilyn Watson. For more gardening information, go to .

Test 2 Section 1Good morning, Senme Museum, can I help you?Oh, yes, good morning. I’m interested in the children’s workshops and I’d like a little more information please.Do you mean the art and craft workshops?A friend of a friend mentioned them that children do painting and make models and so forth.Yes of course, where to begin. First of all, as you probably know they run every Saturday.Fine, and what about ages?All ages from five upward are welcome. And we do ask that children below 8 years of age are accompanied by an adult.Fine, that wouldn’t be a problem. What about cost?Well, I think you'll find them very reasonable. It’s 2.5 a child with 80 pence off for two or more children from the same family.Oh yes, very reasonable. And are they held in the main museum?Not exactly. They are nearby.Could you give me the full address? I don’t know the area very well.Yes, it’s winter house, and that’s in tamer streetCould you spell that please?Lovely.And I do need to tell you that there is a security entrance, so you need to press the green button for someone to let you in, don’t press the red button please, but don’t worry, it's all clearly labelled. Ok, and one more question. Is parking available nearby? We are driving in from out of town. Your best bet is to leave your car at the back of the library. On a Saturday morning, there are plenty of spaces there. It’s right next door to the museum.Can I ask about booking places?Yes, and I must tell you, you really should book by calling the education department here.Oh, I’m sorry. Should I have rung them in stead of the main museum number?No, that’s fine this time. Please don’t worry. But for future reference, I'll give you the direct number. It’s 200765Great, I’ve got that.But I’m very happy to give y ou information about the next two workshops, on Saturday the 16th, there is building castlesOh, sounds greatThis involves quite a bit of glue, so just make sure the kids are in old clothes.I know, ones I don’t mind getting mucky.Exactly. If possible, could you bring a long bottle tops which the children might be able to use in the models? You know, as decoration.We’ll certainly try to find some for you.Then the following weekThat'll be the 23rd, won't it?Yes, that’s right. On that day, it’s what we call undersea worlds. This is where they make scenes with fishes, underground caverns and so on.Is that likely to get very dirty, lots of paint splashes?Not really, so we don’t recommend any special clothes for that one. But if you could search outsome silver paper to bring along to use in the sessions, you know, it's shiny, it looks like water, that’d be great.Yes of course. We’ll see what we can come up with. Well thank you ever so much for all your help, the sessions sound really good and I’ll certai nly book up for the next 2.lovely, thanks very much for ringing.Section 2Hello, my family and I are staying here in triberch for a week or two, and we wanted to know about the train services. We're hoping to do a few local tripsOk. I can give you lots of details about all the trains going from triberch in the southwest. This leaflet will be very helpful but I’m can tell you some of the main things. We’ve got 2 main train stations in the town, the king street is for local commuter lines and regional services.What about trains to London? I’ll need to go there on business for one day.Then you need to go to central station, that’s for all the national services. There are regular trains to London. They leave triberch every 0.5 hour on weekdays and every hourat weekends. It takes about 2 hours, a bit longer on Sundays. You’ve got a choice of first and second class and there’s a buffet car, though refreshments are included in the cost of a first class ticket.Have you got any information on different ticket types?Yes, there is a range of ticket prices depending on when you travel and when you buy your ticket. There is a standard open ticket which doesn’t have any restrictions, this can be bought in advance or on the day. You could also get various discounted tickets, a popular one is called super save, and this is OK for travel after 8.45. Then that is the special ticket which is valid for travel after 10.15, the special tickets are also valid for travel at weekends. The cheapest tickets are called advance and you have to buy them at least 6 days ahead, only a certain number are available and you have to make seat reservation for these.Thanks, are there lots of places to go to around here?Oh yes, you could enjoy many days out. There is merthyr mining museum, which is only half an hour from triberth by train, your children will find it just as fascinating as any theme park. And they can ride in the original miners’ lifts and on the coal trains. There are special excursion tickets which include entrance fees. Mainline trains also offer direct services to Bristol where you can visit the docks and spend a great day out with the children in the zoo which is set in the parkland that used to surround the old castle. Special family away day fares are available for this service now during the school holidays. Alternatively, you can be in Birmingham in only 1.5 hour, where there‘s lots to see and do including the new and internationally-acclaimed climbing wall built on the site of the old aquarium. We will also be running a special service to new port when the new science museum opens next year, as we anticipate a lot of visitors in the opening week. I’d advise you to call early to book your tickets. Is that ok?Yes thanks.Section 3Hello sandy, have you been getting on with your dissertation?Fine, and I’ve been working hard on the various action points we agreed on our last tutorialDo you want to talk me through what you’ve done?Yes sure, well, we’ve agreed on 3 main targets for me to aim for. The first one was to find out about suitable data analysis software. And what I decided to do was to look through 3 catalogues specialising in IT.That's a good idea. What did you come up with?I found the names of two promising ones. But I also thought it’d be worthwhile talking to a lecturer.Oh, right, who did you see?Jane Prince. Do you know her? She is in the computer centreYes, of course, she is the new head.She was very helpful.Did she suggest anything in particular?Yes, she recommended software called VIV A T, and said I should book up for a couple of practice sessions using VIV ATGreat, I’m sure you'll find them useful.And of course, and the second target was to draw up a survey checklistYes, you emailed me it last weekHave you had a chance to look?Of course. I th ink it’s good, very much on the right lines. I’d say your first two sections are spot on, I wouldn’t suggest that you change any there but in section 3 you really do need to have questions on teaching experience.I was thinking that section looked a bit short. And my third target was do further reading on discipline.I mentioned a couple of writers, didn’t I?Yes, well I got hold of the banagy, I thought that was excellent but I’m afraid I didn’t manage get hold about the essays about classroom management. You know the ones by Simon, the bookshop said it was out of print and the library doesn’t have a copy.I’m afraid I have lent my copy to another student. What I suggest you do is to try the library again. This time apply for it through the service called special loans. Have you done that before? You’re entitled to 6 books a year.Yes, no problem, that’s what I will doSo, lots of useful work done.So let’s look at some new targets. We’ll start by having a chat about your chapter 1, I very much enjoyed readi ng it. Your written style is very clear and you’ve included lots of interesting descriptions of education in your target area. I’ve just got a couple of suggestions for some additional work.Of course. Could I just ask what do you think I should call it?W ell, I’d go for something like context review. What do you think?Well, short and to the point.Exactly. Now, as regards specific areas to work on, I’d be quite interested to have a few more statistics about the schools in the different zones.Oh, that wou ldn’t be a problem; I can get them from the internet.Great. And although you did make a reference to quite a few different writers, I think you should aim to cite more works written later than 2000.Ok, that's more difficult, but I can try. When do you want that done by?Oh, that's not urgent, I should aim for the end of term. But in the meantime, I think you should also be thinking about chapter 2.Should I be drafting it already?No but I think you should note done its main sections.Yes. You know I always find that the hardest partI always find it helpful to put some ideas on the index cards and you can sort them and even lay them out on the floor. It’s a real help.Also I’ll certainly try it. When would the deadline be for that?My advice would be to get it down before you embark upon the research. You could always change it later if you need to.Section 4Many believe that the story first began in America in 1877 when 2 friends were arguing over whether a horse ever had all 4 feet or hooves off the ground when it galloped. To settle the bet, a photographer was asked to photograph a horse galloping.And the bet was settled because you could see that all the hooves were off the ground in some of the photos. What was even more interesting was that if the photos were shown in quick succession the horse looked like it was running. In other words, moving pictures.The person who became interested in taking the moving pictures to its next step was the famous American inventor Thomas Edison. Actually, he didn’t do the work himself but rather asked a young Scotsman in his employ to design the system, which he did. Now, this young fellow was clever, because the first thing he did was study other systems, primitive as they were, of moving pictures. And then put all the existing technologies together to make the first entire motion picture system. He designed a camera, a projection device and a film.The system was first shown in New York in 1894 and was really very popular. Apparently, people lined up around the block to see the wonderful new invention. There were, however, a couple of problems with the system. The camera weighed over 200 kilograms and only one person at a time could see the film.Well now, news of the new system in America travelled fast. And a number of rival European systems started to appear once people had heard about it. The single problem with all the systems was they couldn’t really project the film onto a screen. You know, so more than one person could see it. Then in 1895, 3 systems were all developed more or less the same time and independently of each other. I guess the most famous of these was by the Lumiaire brothers from France, and they called their system the cinematograph, which of course is where the word cinema comes from.There were also 2 brothers in Germany who developed a successful system and they called it a bioskop. Well now. once the problem of projection had been solved, the next challenge for the inventors was to make the films longer and more interesting. A continuing problem at the time wasthat the films had a tendency to break when they were being played, a problem which was caused by the tension between the 2 wheels or reels, as they are called, which hold the film. Now this problem was solved by 2 American brothers. They developed the lantham loop which was the simple addition of a third reel between the 2 main reels. And this took all the tension away with the result that the film stopped snapping.So now there was a real possibility of having films of more than 2 or 3 minutes. And this led to the making of the great train robbery, the very first movie made. It only lasted 11 minutes, but was an absolute sensation. And there were cases of people watching the movie and actually fainting when the character fired a gun at the camera. Almost overnight, movies became a craze, and by 1905, people in America were lining up to see movies in store theaters as they were called then.I guess the next big step in terms of development of technology was to have people actually talking on the film. And the first step towards this was in 1926 when sound effects were first used on a film. It wasn’t until the following year, however, that the first talkie as they were called then was made. This film featured actors speaking only during part s of the film and was called the jazz singer. And it wasn’t until 1928 that the first all-talking film was produced, and this was called the lights of New York. Unfortunately that the sound on this early film was not very good and I believe they put subtitles on the film, that is, they printed the dialogue along the bottom of the film to compensate for this poor sound quality, now with the addition of sound moving picture became far more difficult to ....Test 3 Section 1Good morning, I'd like to open a bank account please.Certainly, if you’d like to take a seat, I'll just get some details from you. It won't take long. ThanksIs it a current account or a deposit account you wanted?A current accountRight, I've got the application form here then. We have d ifferent types. I see you’ve got our leaflet there.I’d decided on the one called select.Right, that's fine. So first of all, can I have your full name please?Yes, it’s Pieter HenesAnd what’s your date of birth please?The 27th of the 1st 1973Right, and will this be a joint account?No, just myself.Ok. Fine, and where are you living Mr Henes?15 riversideIs that all one word?YesExeter?YesHow long have you been at your present address? Is it more than 2 years?Just 2 weeks actually. I only arrived in the country a month ago. I’m from Holland. Oh, that’s fine. But we normally ask for a previous address in that case. Oh, yes, it’s rielsdorf 2 Utrecht. Do you have a daytime telephone number? Yes I think the number of my office is 606295, just a minute, I’d better check, oh no sorry, 616. I’m not used to it yet. Would you like my home number too? Yes please. It’s 796431 Are they both local numbers? Yes. Right, and your occupation? Well, I’m in Britain as a project manager, but that's not my main job. I’m an engineer by profession. I see, I think I'll put that then. It’s shorter. Now we usually ask for a piece of information which we can use to check your identity for security reasons. You know, if you phone us. Like my wife’s first name? Mother’s might be better, it’s less likely to be known. Ok, hers is Siti. It’s Indonesian. Fine, and how much would you like to open your account with? We usually ask for a minimum sum of 50 pounds, that’s about 75 Euros. Well, I’m going to transfer 2000 Euros from my Dutch account, just till I get paid. In fact, I wanted to ask you about that, what’s the best way to do it? It depends which bank you’re with It’s the Fransen bank in Utrecht. Ok, fine, I’ll check that in a minute. If we have links with them, we can do a direc t transfer. But it’s not a big problem either way. Let’s see, how often would you like to receive statements? I haven’t really thought, what’s the usual thing? It's up to you. Some people like them weekly. Oh no, that’s too often. Can I have them sent once a month? Yes, that’s fine. Is there anything else? I was thinking of registering for your internet service at some stage. Oh yes, would you like me to send you information about that? Please, yes. Would you like to receive information about the bank’s oth er services, insurance, loans, anything like that? I don’t think so thanks. That's ok then. And one last thing, if you agree….. Section 2 Welcome everybody to the lovely house and gardens of rosewood, once the home of the famous writer Sebastian George. He bought the house in 1902, although he had first seen it 2 years earlier.At that time, the owner let it out to a tenant, because George was too slow making up his mind to buy it. When it came back on the market, there was no hesitation, and he bought it immediately, for 9,300 pounds, even though the house had no bathroom, norunning water upstairs and no electricity. When he came here, he’d been married for 10 years. During that time, he’d become one of the most famous writers in the English-speaking worl d. His professional success was enormous, but his personal life wasn’t as successful. He was no longer on speaking terms with his brother and had been devastated by the death at the age of 7 of his elder daughter Jessafine. Moving to rosewood allowed the family to start a new life. George regarded rosewood as a pure example of a traditional country house of this part of England and did some of his most successful writing here. The house and its grounds became the family haven and their escape to privacy and quiet. The walls and the mullioned windows were built of the local sandstone. The tiles on the roofs and the bricks of the chimney stack were baked from local clay, and the wooden structures inside came from oak trees which grow around here. Now pleaselo ok at the map I’ve given you of the house and gardens. We’re here at the information centre, follow the path marked with the arrow, and the first area you come to is the orchard on your left. As you go further down the path, there is the kitchen garden on the right, and as you go round the first sharp corner, you will find your left an area where different types of pear tree have been planted as well as some lovely flowers. And this is known as pear alley designed by George himself. Next to this is the greenhouse, where some exotic plants and fruits are grown. Follow the path round the second corner, and on your right you will see the entrance to the mulberry garden with its 500-year-old tree. Past the mulberry garden, follow the path until you reach the front of the house, I suggest you spend a good hour wandering around this lovely building. A guide takes visit groups round every 2 hours. If you would like to purchase any of George’s books or other souvenirs, then leave the house by the side entrance, where you will find our shop which is situated between the house and the garage which contains the magnificent old rolls-royce car which used to belong to George. I expect by this time you may also be in need of a rest and some of refreshment. Most visitors are, so why don’t you visit the tea room on the far side of the garage. If you have time, there is a lovely walk down towards the river Dudwell, for me, that is the best part of the estate. This isn’t on the map, but it is allclearly signposted. You cross the field which spreads along the banks of the river. In spring, this area is well worth a visit. Spend a minute or two watching the water pass by underneath as you cross the footbridge. And then continue along the river walk through the woodland. On a hot summer's day, the trees along this path provide welcome shade, eventually, you come to the water mill, which used to provide the electricity for the house only about 4 hours every evening in George’s time. And finally, for those of you who would like to see stunning views of the surrounding countryside and who are a little bit more energetic, when you return from the mill, take the first turning on your left and climb up the view point, you won’t regret it. Enjoy your visit.。

剑桥雅思6听力test3解析
Section1题目解析第1题~第10题是笔记填空题,难度都不是太大。
第一题的答案“select”虽然重读,但一些考生可能会因为吞音或者是对这个单词的含义不清楚而写不出答案,此处修饰信用卡的名称,意思是“精选的,卓越的”。
第2题的难点是,在口语中,很少有人会把“一月”说成是“thefirst”。
第3题的答案虽然是一个地名,但是对话中并没有给出字母拼写,对于准备不足的考生具有杀伤力。
第4题要注意答案后面有一个迷惑信息“amonth'”,这是到达英国后的时间,而不是在前面提到的地址居住的时间。
第5题有一个信息修正,前面说是“six-oh-six”,后面说“six-one-six”。
第7题答案前面有一个迷惑信息“mywife’s”。
