Listening InTask 1: Tips for job interviewsA: After listening to the career officer’s talk, I’ve now realizes the importance of getting prepared for an interview.B:Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview. If you’re not punctual, they’ll suspect that you’ll be late for work in future.A: Before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless clothes will lead them into thinking that you’re likely to do your job carelessly.B: During the interview, it is impor tant to look confident without being too pushy. It’s necessary to maintain eye contact. This shows your interest in the conversation, and helps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.A:Many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received. We need to highlight those courses especially valuable to the company.B: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and emphasize the skills that are useful in the job we’re seeking.A: How clever you are! These days many students want to tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English and have obtained a College English Test Band 4 Certificate.B: They’re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, office automation, and so on. Students from non-key universities especially need certificates to shoe they’ve acquired those skills before they can hope to compete against students from prestigious universities.A: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary society, where teamwork is a must.B: But too many students are saying more or less the same thing.

Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important official of the Student Union of the university or the department, or you’ve organized a singing competition and won an award, obviously you’re a good team player.Key:1.

TTask 2 Are you ready for a phone interviewScript and keyNowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses involved in interviewing out-of-town candidates.While you're job-searching, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment's notice. You never know when a recruiter might call. So, you'd better take a look at the following phone interview tips.Before the interview, you should get well-prepared. For example, you can compile a list of your background and skills, your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions You need to keep your resume on the top of your desk or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it's at your fingertips when you need to answer questions. Also, you should have a pen and paper handy for note taking.It's helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the phone. In this way, you'll be able to hear your "ums" and "uhs" and "OKs", and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and politely. You should use the interviewer's title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you to. It is essential not to interrupt the interviewer. On your part, you should try to give answers that are short and to the point.Finally, remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer, ask if it would be possible to meet in person.Questions and key1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a purpose of screening candidates on the phone?B) To test candidates' psychological stability when thcy speak on the phone.2.

Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‘d better get it right firs time. Here’re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume. First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don’t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. It should emphasized the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills another job. In other words, you need to “re-package” yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately that you correspond to the job description. It is not dishonest to “re-package”yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you to get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range o jobs.1.Why does the speaker say the resume is important?2.Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resume?3.Where should you put the important information in your job descriptions according to the passage?4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for three jobs?5. What is the passage mainly about?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.A 4.C 5.BIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Can you give me some tips about how to get a good job? Susan: John, can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?John: Did you go to the job fairs and meet with companies?Susan: Yeah, I did. But they didn’t seem to be interested in women.I thought about suing then for sexual discrimination.John: I’m afraid it won’t be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaper? Susan: I’ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but I can’t find anything interesting that I’m qualified for. And the few that I have seen are very low-paying.John: Then try the Internet. You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field. Susan: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I’ll look for something in electronic engineering.John: Hey, I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the sort of thing you’re looking for.Susan: Great, I’ll try my luck there.John: Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.Susan: This afternoon? Oh no! I’d better get online quickly and see if I can submit my resume by E-mail.John:Wait, have you updated your resume? You’d better include your work experience from the IT company last summer.Susan: Don’t worry. It’s all set. Thanks, mate.John:Any time, Sue.MODEL2 Do you have any tips for a successful interview?ScriptSusan: John, do you have any tips for a successful interview?John: Well, first of all, you need to dress professionally.Susan: Oh, what about during the interview?John: Ok, be sure to maintain good eye contact and answer all questions politely and directly. Don’t look too shy, nor should you sound too aggressive.Susan: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.John: They’ll probably want to know a little about your work experience. Many companies don’t wanta completely green hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.Susan: Fortunately, I gained some experience at an IT company during the last summer holiday. John: They may also want to know something about your character. You see, ability for teamwork is usually valued.Susan: What kind of questions should I ask them?John: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.Susan: Should I ask about salary and fringe benefits?John: Better not. Not unless they bring it up. Just use the first interview to sell yourself.Susan: You’re right. If they are interested in hiring me, there will be plenty of chances to talk about money later.John: Right. And the more interested they are, the more they’ll offer.MODEL3 Our best bet is to recruit from the competition.ScriptHelen: Our company is starting from scratch, so we don’t have the expertise to compete.Bill: Then our best bet is to recruit from the competition.Helen: We need managers who know how to be strong, yet know how to give employees their freedom.Bill:That’s essential, especially in the computer industry. Often computer experts like to work on their own.Helen: We also don’t believe that a right management system will work wonders for our company. Bill: Um…that philosophy will help you attract many worthwhile people.Helen: I remember your friend David Miller is the CEO of a management recruitment agency. I hope he’ll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it’s a good time, too. A number of firms have been downsizing.Helen: Good. So lots of capable people out there are interested in bigger and batter things. But can David help us pin them down?Bill: Sure, Helen! That’s why they call them headhunters.Now Y our TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Can you give me some advice on how to succeed in an interview?B: Well, first of all, you need to pay attention to your appearance. You have to dress appropriately.A: What do you mean by appropriately?B: It’s often best to wear a suit. Some bosses don’t like to see a candidate on a dirty T-shirt and jeans. A: I see. Careless clothes may be an indicator of careless attitude in work.B: Right on. Also, many employers are unwilling to hire a young man with his hair dyed red or yellow. A: Then, what about during the interview?B: You should speak politely but firmly. If you look too shy, they may suspect you are not capable of dealing with a challenging task.A: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.B: They’ll probably want to know something about your work experience. Companies usually don’t want an entirely new hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.A: Fortunately, I gained some experience at a law of firm during the last summer holiday. I worked as an intern to provide free legal advice for those who need it.B: Oh. I see, this is what they called “legal assistance to the needy”. Also, a company may want to know something about your character. You see, team players are often valued above all others.A: What kind of questions should I ask them?B: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.A: I hear that many companies asked the candidates what salary they expect.B: That’s true. You have to inquire about the possible salary level for a green hand in advance. If the salary you expect is reasonable, this shows that you know the professions well and will have a good impression on the interviewer.A: Oh, I’ve learned so much from you. A thousand thanks.V. Let’s TalkScriptV oice-over:T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom, the giant German telephone company.T-Mobile is their global mobile phone operation. Nine hundred people work at thecompany's call centre in Greenock, which was set up only five years ago; 760 of them areemployed in handling customer calls and they are managed by 70 team managers and 10operations managers. In a large-scale operation like this, the role of recruitment and trainingis the responsibility of a dedicated on-site human resources department.Woman: We have a training team, headed up by two leading advisers and supported by a number of customer-facing advisers who've been moved into the role of training. The theory behind is,these are the people who are doing the job, are in the best place to train that job to otherpeople.[On-screen text: Helen Young, Human Resources Adviser]Helen: Our recruitment is divided into two main sections. We have a CSA recruitment: Customer Service Adviser, and we also have all the other recruitment. It's crucial to us that we get the right people for the job, absolutely crucial, and we do whatever possible to ensure that people have realistic expectations of the job before they, before they're made an offer.Helen: In the initial stages they'd be given a telephone interview which would last somewhere in the region of 15 minutes. Following that, they'd be invited to come on-site. They'd have a tour of the centre. They then get, if you like, an opportunity to try us on for size. They get to see the role, they get to see how it feels, feel the culture of the company and if they're still happy at that stage and want to apply, then they need to do so formally. They would then complete an application form and be brought on-site for a two-hour assessment. The assessment consists of a role-play, which looks at their customer service ability and a competency interview. We need people who have the ability to communicate well and deliver the customer service that we want to deliver. We have a full age range of employees coming from various different backgrounds: manufacturing, customer service straight through to school leavers.Key(1) 900 (2) customer calls (3) 70 (4) human resources (5) supported (6) customer-facing (7) place (8) two (9) right people (10) realistic VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Tell me about yourself.ScriptM: Tell me a little about yourself.W: I’m from Guilin City.M: What brought you to the east coast?W: I came to Qingdao to attend college. I’m impressed by this city’s dynamic economy. I’ve come to love it so much that I’ve decided to stay and work here.M: What work experience do you?W: I worked as an intern for a small shipping company. And my primary responsibilities were to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important. The knowledge I acquired from textbooks is indeed, but it is equally essential to be able to persuade a potential client t to trust you. M: How would your former employer describe you?W: He told me that my ability to find one customer after another was an asset to the company. He thanked me for my loyalty. He also appreciated my team as shown in my cooperation with my colleague.M: You seem very mature for your age. And I see from your resume that you are very goal-oriented. W: Thank you. I believe I’ve acquired many good qualities from my parents. They’re my role models.However, I know I still have a lot to learn.The woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college.

She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented. And she believes that she has acquired many good qualities form her parents, but still has a lot to learn.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key: 1.

You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with lessemphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don’t say, “I don’t have any.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes s omething positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?”You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job.

Listening InTask 1: Tips for job interviews.ScriptM:After listening to the career officer’s talk, I’ve now realized the importance of getting prepared for an interview.W:Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview. If you’re not punctual, they’ll suspect that you’ll be late for work in future.M: And before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless clothes will lead them into thinking that you’re likely to do your job carelessly.W: Yes. During the interview, it is important to look confident without being too pushy. It’s necessary to maintain eye contact. This shows your interest in the conversation and helps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.M: Besides, many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received. We need to highlight those courses, especially valuable to the job we’re applying for. W: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field.

Many students will tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English.W: They’re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, Excel, and so on.

If everybody says, “I’m warm-hearted and cooperative, get along well with my classmates, and have good team spirit,” the boss will soon get fed up.M: Perhaps we should let the work we’ve done speak for itself.W: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important leader of the Student Union of the University or the Department or you’ve organized a singing competition, etc., obviously you’re a good team player.Key1.T2.F3.T4. T5. F6.T7. TTask2 Are you ready for a phone interview?ScripNowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interview. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses in involved in interviewing out-of-town candidates.While you’re job-searching, it’s important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment’s notice. You never know when a recruiter might call. So, you’d better take a look at the following phone interview tips.Before the interview, you should get well-prepared. For example, you can compile a list of your background and skills, your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions. You need to keep your resume on the top of your desk or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it’s at your fingertips when you need to answer questions. Also, you should have a pen and paper handy for note taking.It’s helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the phone. In this way, you will be able to hear your “ums” and “uhs” and “OKs”, and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and politely. You should use interviewer’s title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you to. It is essential to interrupt the interviewer. On your part, you should try to give answers that are short and to the point.Finally, remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer, ask if it would be possible to meet in person.Question and key1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a purpose of screening candidateson the phone?B) To test candidates’ psychological stability when they speak on the phone.2. What can you infer from the speaker’s recommendation of compiling a list of information about yourself?C) Without it, you may become disorganized while being interviewed.3. What does the speak say about your resume?C) Put it near the phone.4. According to the speaker, why should you conduct a simulated interview?A) To reduce unnecessary words in an interview.5. Which of the following is suggested when you address the interviewer on thephone?D) All of the above.Task3 Do you know how to write a resume? ScriptYour resume, or CV in British English, has one mission and one mission only: to get you a job interview. Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‘d better get it right firs time. Here’re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume.First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don’t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. It should emphasize the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills an employer is seeking. This means you would write one resume for one particular job and a different resume for another job. In other words, you need to “repackage” yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately whether you are suitable person for the job. It is not dishonest to “repackage” yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you t get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range of jobs.Question and key1.Why does the speaker say a resume is important?C) Because it leaves a first impression and you have only one chance to do so.2.Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resumes?A) Details3.Where should you put the important information in your job descriptionsaccording to the passage?A) At the beginning.4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for threejobs?C) Three.5. What is the passage mainly about?B) Resume tips.IV. Speaking OutGiving tips for a job interviewModel 1 Can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?Susan: John, can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?John: (1) Did you go to the job fairs and meet with companies?Susan: Yeah, I did. But they didn’t seem to be interested in women. I thought about suing then for sexual discrimination.John: I’m afraid it won’t be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaper?Susan: I’ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but (2) I can’t find anything interesting that I’m qualified for. And the few that I have seen arevery low-paying.John: Then try the Internet. (3) You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field.Susan: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I’ll look for something in electronic engineering.John: Hey, (4) I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech.

I’d better get online quickly and see if (5) I can submit my resume by e-mail.John:Wait, (6)have you updated your resume?

Thanks, mate.John:Any time, Sue.Model2Do you have any tips for a successfulinterview?ScriptSusan: John, do you have any tips for a successful interview?John: Well, first of all, you need to dress professionally.Susan: Oh, what about during the interview?John: Ok, (1) be sure to maintain good eye contact and answer all questions politely and directly. (2) Don’t look too shy, nor should you sound too aggressive. Susan: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.John: They’ll probably want to know a little about your work experience. (3) Many companies don’t want a completely green hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.Susan: Fortunately, (4) I gained some experience at an IT company during the last summer holiday.John: They may also want to know something about your character. You see, (5) ability for teamwork is usually valued.Susan: What kind of questions should I ask them?John: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company. Susan: (6) Should I ask about salary and fringe benefits?John: Better not. Not unless they bring it up. Just use the first interview to sell yourself.Susan: You’re right. If they are interested in hiring me, there will be plenty of chances to talk about money later.John: Right. And the more interested they are, the more they’ll offer.Model3 Our best bet is to recruit from thecompetition.ScriptHelen: Our company is starting from scratch, so we don’t have the expertise to compete.Bill: Then(1) our best bet is to recruit from the competition.Helen: We need managers who know how to be strong, yet know how to give employees their freedom.Bill:That’s essential, especially in the computer industry. Often computer experts like to work on their own.Helen: (2)We also don’t believe that a rigid management system will work wonders for our company.Bill: Um… (3) that philosophy will help you attract many worthwhile people. Helen: I remember your friend David Miller is the CEO of a management recruitment agency. I hope (4) he’ll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it’s a good time, too.

My primary responsibilities were to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: What did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important.

An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications had the same qualification, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s answer took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key1.F2.T3.T4.F5.TTask3: A guide to a successful job interviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview.

Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this position, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this job, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weaknesses?” by the interview, don’t say, “I don’t have any.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes strength to recognize them. Say something relevant but hugely important to the specific positive, and always add something positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure to the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” You should customize your answer to meet the position requirements. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would be applied to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.Question and key1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?C) Getting prepared for questions at a job interview.2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why shouldwe choose you?”C) How you can beat other competitors.3.What does the speaker advise you to stress when introducing yourself?B) Your present and future.4.What might the speaker advise you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”A) I don’t have any.5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?D) You should relate your strengths to the job requirements.Viewing and speakingHiring and firing1.

新闻英语视听说(Unit 6) 听力文本与练习答案
City Disease1Task One: Traffic Congestion and Soaring Housing PricesIn this part the program is turned on to the 12th Five-Year-Plan that beginsin 2011. And one focus of that is to tackle challenges during China’s urbanization.When cities become larger, how can they also become more livable? Our reporter Wang Guan joined us here in the studio. He did a bit of research on a problem perhaps few of us can escape today, which is called traffic congestion. So Wang Guan, looks like traffic in big cities is getting worse and seriously compromising our quality of life!Oh! Yes, James. Few would argue that China, as an emerging economy, needs to sell cars. In fact, it sold more cars than any other country since 2009. This is also the problem. Take Beijing for example, the city where we are living. The city already has more than 4 million vehicles. And in the first half of this year, nearly two-thousand a day were added to the street. If this trend continues, in 4 years time, the capital will have 7 million cars.To put the figure into perspective, the maximum capacity for the city’s urban area is 200-thousand vehicles. In other words, should Beijing’s first, second and third ring roads become congested, they can only accommodate less than a quarter of a million vehicles, let alone seven million.And it’s amazing also to find out how OFTEN Beijingers use their vehicles. For example, recently I have did a little bit of research that according to the Beijing Traffic Research Center, the annual mileage of Beijing residen ts’ cars is 15 thousand kilometers, twice the number of Tokyo and 1.5 times than the residents in London. And 40 percent of the times, Beijingers use their cars for trips less than 5 kilometers, which is considered not necessary for taking rides with cars.Let’s look at Beijing and the other big cities, including many many big cities in China. But what about China’s smaller cities, especially its many many towns?We learned soaring housing prices is a major issue in Chinese second-tier cities. For example, in the first quarter, home prices increased more than 10 percent in cities such as Haikou, Kunming and Shenzhen, as are shown. You can see right now as shown in yellow. And also in cities including Nanjing, Shantou and Tangshan, the figure reached nearly 20 percent.The rising real estate price is believed to be associated with a controversial land-bidding system. Now developers who offer the highest price, and possibly withthe strongest connections with key local officials, get the land, regardless of their2 professional track record or credentials.A report submitted by the NPC standing committee says in 2009, less than 30 percent of the central governments budget for affordable housing was duly spent by local officials.So the lack of supervision and transparency we see here are believed to be a cause, which also gives rise to irregular dealings and corruption in other spheres of the society. That includes illegal land-grabbing, cronyism in the workplace, and academic misconduct. All these prevented these second-tier and third-tier Chinese cities from becoming fairer.Task Two: Difficulties in Buying a HouseSpecial Report: Global Financial CrisisAs the US economy goes into recession Americans are finding it’s difficult to buy a house. Real estate agents are having a tough time. Zeng Siwei takes a look at the current US housing market.John Jameson is the president of a consulting firm in Washington. He can earn more than 700-thousand US dollars a year. Thirteen years ago, John bought a villa in Washington for 250-thousand dollars. But he moved out after he and his wife divorced. Since then, he has been living with his daughter in a rented apartment. John now wants a change. This villa costs nearly 2.5 million dollars. It’s merely three blocks away from his office.(John Jameson, Home Buyer)All makes it the best of Washington. And it’s got a lot of space. It’s got back yard, front yard, windows on the side, and a lot of bedrooms and a big basement and a nice family area. John decides to buy the villa and apply for a mortgage from the bank.(John Jameson, Home Buyer)“I have a good income from my business. I have a lot of savings and a perfect credit record. So I thought they’re gonna say, ‘No problem, we’ll give you a loan immediately.’ That’s what I thought.”But it turns out to be opposite.(John Jameson, Home Buyer)“It was what they told me. One, I’m gonna have to go to see very senior management in the bank. And two, the loan is gonna require a much much larger down payment than just six months ago.”A higher down payment is not a big deal for John. But he has to wait longer for the mortgage approval. And that’s what really makes him anxious. The banks have their own explanation for raising the threshold. According to statistics from the National Association of Realtors, ten percent of US home buyers with mortgages are behind on their payments for more than a month, or face foreclosures during the third quarter. The stricter evaluation procedures and higher down payment are preventing many low-income Americans from buying houses. This is creating tough times for real estate agents.3 (Wang Jianyu, Real Estate Agent)“It used to take one or two months to sell a house. Now it normally needs three to four months, or even more.”Real estate developers face the same woes.In 2008, nearly five million homes have been sold in the US, over 12 percent down from last year. And the sales volume for new homes is 486 thousand, over 37 percent less from 2007.(Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist, National Association Realtors)“I n some places home prices are still rising, for closure rates are declining and people are still buying homes. But in other areas home prices are coming down so fast, so quickly that it is causing people to be underwater, meaning that their home values is less than the mortgage that they owe. So there is a large market variation and overall the US housing market right now is struggling.”In the sluggish market, John Jameson only wants a home where he and his daughter can enjoy a more comfortable life. John anxiously looks forward to the mortgage approval, and of course, the day they will move into the new home. Task Three: Aging PopulationChina’s aging population is growing rapidly. The latest projection is that in 2050 one out of three Chinese will be over 60 years old! This issue, not surprisingly, has generated heated debate in the annual session of the top advisory body, the CPPCC. Wang Guan takes a close look.China is likely to grow old before it grows rich. That’s the concern of some CPPCC members att ending the body’s annual sessions in Beijing.According to the latest figures, China currently has 20 million people over 80 years of age. That number will quadruple in 40 years. And by 2050, 400 million Chinese will be above 60 years old which means one in every four Chinese will belong to that category.The United Nations maintains that a country with more than ten percent of its population over 60 is an aging society.However, targeted services lag far behind.In most Chinese cities, senior citizens’ hom es are few and far between. The existing ones can’t provide senior residents with sufficient activities. That’s why for most Chinese, when they grow old, they stay with their children or spouses.(Yang Chao, CPPCC member)“Senior citizens’ homes should inc lude recreational centers, hospitals and senior citizens’ universities...where they can draw, read books, play ball -games, swim and form discussion groups. It should be a place to empower the senior citizens once again.”Some CPPCC members suggest that more of the national budget should go towards serving China’s aging population, namely by building more infrastructure and improve service in senior citizens’ homes. They say the government should encourage insurance companies to be more involved in providing services for senior4 citizens. (Yang Chao)“Commercial organizations should play a bigger role. The government should also have some favorable policies such as tax reduction for senior citizens.” CPPCC members say for those senior citizens who prefer to stay in their own homes, relevant services should be expanded. Besides regular food delivery and medical services, psychological counseling, for example, should also be provided.High Rise Apartments Vulnerable to FireThis catastrophe is being blamed on careless actions by welders. While the investigation continues, the blaze has set off alarm bells over fire safety in tower blocks, which are considered vulnerable in such circumstances.Zhang Mimi brings us more.Monday afternoon’s inten se blaze in this downtown apartment building has left a blackened and painful scar on a once peaceful neighborhood.Vehicles are not allowed within one block of the gutted ( 羊肠小道，内脏) building, but Shanghai residents from near and far continue to visit the scene, mourning the deceased and sharing opinions of the fire.(A Shanghai resident said)“My colleague was inside the building alone when the fire broke out..(A Shanghai resident)“Everyone should be prepared and be aware of the fire safety measures.” It’s believed that unlicensed welders ignited flammable nylon netting and bamboo on the scaffolding ( 脚手架). At least 53 people died and the intensity of the blaze has laid bare the risks and dangers of high rise living. The towering buildings can produce a stack effect, which quickly spreads the smoke to a height where even the tallest ladder can not reach.Professor Chen Baosheng, an expert in disaster prevention, says once a fire breaks out, the fire doors, smoke detectors and automatic sprinklers ( 洒水装置) should mitigate ( 减轻) the disastrous effects.(Prof. Chen Baosheng, Dept. of architecture of Tongji University)“Just like this stadium. Each building should be divided into different zones for preventing fires. Smoke detectors and sprinklers should be installed every 3.6 meters and fire doors should remain closed at all times.”Shanghai is home to the wo rld’s largest number of high rises. There are currently over 14-thousand buildings that are over eight stories in height. Five-hundred are over one hundred meters. While some believe the web of tower blocks display the city’s wealth, and the country’s fast urbanization, others worry these buildings fall short of adequate fire safety measures and enforcement.Experts have yet to find out whether this particular building had properly installed fire safety equipment. Professor Chen warns that proper regulation is5 urgently needed. (Professor Chen Baosheng)“Fire prevention technologies in high -rises are up-to-date. But I think we should step up efforts in terms of regulations and maintenance. Fire doors and exits should not be blocked and in the case of this bui lding, the welding should be supervised.”The massive blaze has many Shanghai residents checking out the fire prevention equipment in their own building. Many say they need to learn more about what to do during an emergency.High-rise fire fighting poses a global challenge.

I think this may be true. As people are increasingly realizing the importance of health, they would get rid of unhealthy foods and eat only healthy foods. / I don't think this will be true. People enjoy different kinds of food. So a diet without a variety of food will be too boring and life will sound dull and meaningless.2. Food pills may become more popular, but I don't think they can be a substitute for normal meals. They can be supplementary to normal meals, but they should not be the standard food because they are not as healthy as real food. Besides, we are accustomed to eating different kinds of food with different kinds of flavors. Life will be boring if we could only eat food pills. / I think this prediction will be true. As the pace of life is getting faster, people are looking for convenient and efficient way to eat. Food pills could be the solution.3. I don't think this will happen. Certain food has certain flavor. When people get the same food, it should taste the same. It's hard to imagine that the same food can change its flavor for different people. / I think this may happen.

Reckless.参考答案：9) C 10) D 11) A听⼒⽂本：Throughout history there have been many great scientists who have made incredible contributions to science. Among them were Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and Nicolaus Copernicus. Many were recognized as brilliant during their lifetimes. And their achievements were recognized by their contemporaries. Unfortunately this was not always the case. Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, astronomer and philosopher who lived and worked during the 16th and 17th centuries. Today he is recognized as one of the most influential forces on scientific thought and is often called the father of modern science. However, during his lifetime, his ideas and theories were not universally welcomed or appreciated. In much of Europe at that time, and particularly in Italy, the Catholic Church held considerable power and influence. According to the church's beliefs, Earth was at the center of the universe. Because the church was so powerful, many astronomers and scientists also declared their support for this view even if they privately thought otherwise. Galileo, however, was outspoken in his view that the Sun not Earth was at the center. Galileo was condemned for his views and he was warned to abandon these dangerous ideas. He ultimately refused, continued to challenge the commonly held belief that Earth was at the center of the universe and sadly spent the rest of his life under house arrest. He is today praised for his forward thinking and brilliant scientific mind. But he received no such official recognition during his own life.Q9: What is the topic of the passage?Q10: According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?Q11: Which of the following words best describes Galileo's outspoken beliefs?∧收起答案短篇新闻3题Directions:Listen to a news report and choose the best answer to each question you hear.12)A. iPod.B.

Because it is dependent on a nearby smartphone.C. Because it has so few extra functions.D. It is not mentioned at all.参考答案：12) C 13) D 14) B听⼒⽂本：Apple made a pitch on March 9th in San Francisco heralding the launch of its newest product, the Apple Watch. Executives of Apple said that wearing onewould let people look speedily at their wrists to get information and complete tasks that they used to have to grab their phones to do. According to Tim Cook, the boss of Apple, the new watch "is the most advanced timepiece ever created".Yet in spite of Mr. Cook's bouncing optimism, Apple seems unlikely to turn its watch into the next big must-have gadget. Certainly, the watch will not match the success of previous products, such as the iPod or iPhone. This is true for two main reasons. First, Apple's newest creation replicates many of the functions that the smartphone already makes so seamless, such as checking email, receiving calendar alerts and communicating with friends. People are unlikely to pay between $350 to over $10,000 for something which has so few extra functions. Second, the Apple Watch is dependent on a nearby smartphone, which means that users will just be adding another device to their growing menageries instead of replacing one. Q12: What did people use to check information and complete tasks before Apple Watch according to the news?Q13: What is Mr. Cook's attitude towards the Apple Watch?Q14: Why do users think the Apple Watch just adds another device to their growing menageries instead of replacing one?∧收起答案。

Who would have ever guessed that a bird watcher might actually save lives?Part 2 Reading Comprehension (Short Answer Questions)(每小题：分)Directions: Read the following passage carefully and give brief answers to the questions.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage or dialog. On January 17, 1995, 5,273 persons were reported to have been killed by the Hanshin earthquake. Most victims were crushed to death by the collapse of their houses, and burned to death by the fires that followed the earthquake. Half of the people killed were over age 60.Among the victims, 59% were women, and 41% were men. The city's officials attributed the large number of deaths among the elderly to the growing number of younger people living in the suburbs, the fact that many elderly people lived alone in the quake-stricken areas, and the fact that a large number of homesin the area were built before and immediately after World War II. In the quake area, the old traditional Japanese wooden houses, designed to resist (抗拒) typhoons (台风), presented a poor resistance to the earthquake forces.It was reported that there were 164 independent fires, and that more than 50 percent of fires broke out 24 hours after the earthquake. A large number of fires were attributed to gas leaks, which were sparked (触发) by electrical short-circuits. More than 1,300,000 square meters were burned down.About 170,000 houses were destroyed or severely damaged. Many office and apartment buildings were also severely damaged. The number of refugees (难民) is reported to be in excess of 300,000.The earthquake has been called Japan's greatest postwar disaster. At the present, it is difficult to assess the total amount of damage to the Japanese economy.1.How did most victims die in the earthquake?2.What was the proportion of female victims to male victimsin the quake?3.When were the unsafe homes of old people built?4.What was the main cause for the fires?5.How many refugees were made by the earthquake?Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog. Cornton Vale is a new type of prison specially designed for women criminals in Scotland. The 226 prisoners there live in small units of seven rooms. There is a kitchen where they cook their own meals and a lounge (休息室) with fitted carpet and armchairs.The "wake-up, wake-up" call by loudspeaker (喇叭) at 7 every morning is followed by a music program, which creates the atmosphere (气氛) of a holiday camp. During the day, most of the prisoners are employed in three workshops, making toys or clothing. Their earnings—up to 90 pence a week—can be spent in the prison shop.The gymnasium, which also acts as a cinema and concert hall, has facilities (设施) for table tennis, basketball and dancing.Prisoners, particularly those with long sentences, are encouraged to be independent and take responsibility for themselves and others. This is in many ways much more demanding than simply serving time. Just as the deputy governor (长官)of this prison once said, "We try to preserve the prisoners' self-respect as much as possible, by imagining ourselves in their position." His words explain why this new prison is run in a unique way.6.What is Cornton Vale?7.What is used to make Cornton Vale seem like a holiday camp?8.Where do the women of Cornton Vale work, and what do theydo?9.Other than using the gym for tennis, basketball, anddancing, what is it used for?10.What is the purpose for running the prison this way?Part 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题：分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage or dialog. The cost of helping someone with AIDS drugs is high. Pills costa lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders and he records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actions have not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.1.Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?A. They don't want to take something that was thrown away.B. They don't think that the drugs work.C. They can't work when taking them.D. They don't have enough money.2.What does Wildes do every month?A. Mail medicines to Africa.B. Take a trip to Africa.C. Throw away AIDS drugs.D. Send e-mails to Africans.3.What did Wildes learn five years ago?A. Drugs are thrown away.B. He has AIDS.C. Africans need drugs.D. Hospitals are not fair.4.With whom does Wildes have phone conversations?A. A San Francisco nurse.B. 100 sick Africans.C. American doctors.D. African doctors.5.What do people think of Wildes' actions?A. They think he shouldn't break the law.B. They think he is doing good work.C. They think he will be taken to court.D. They think he is prevented from helping.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.The great river Nile (尼罗河) flows gently in its course through the hot plains in the first half of the year but later on when the melting (融化) snows and the rains on the mountains far tothe south swell its tributaries (支流), the Nile overflows (泛滥). It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. The settlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers.In these early times they did not of course understand why the river overflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods.But there came some years when there was a "bad Nile". Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enough soil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual rising of the Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries of the farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.6.We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich7.The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in thesoil thereB. they did not realize that the river would overflowsometimesC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods8.The Nile was called the "bad Nile" at times because_______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia9.The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floodsby _______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land10.According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar ofthe yearsB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned howto control the floodC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread the knowledgeall over the worldQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.I don't have a strong village feeling. There is a little pub and that is where most people go, although I tend to avoid it. The village always wants to know what you are doing and if you don't have too much contact with it in the pub, then they don't learn too much. I just keep them guessing.The new people want a great community center. People who have just arrived in a village always want to do something in it or to it. What exactly they are going to have in this center I don't know. They keep talking about "amenities" (公共设施). I suppose they mean a car-park and a big smart room. The young village people don't want this. When their work is over they want to go off in their cars to the bright lights of Ipswich. The new people are often just kidding themselves that they are real village people. They don't just want to be accepted; they really want to take over the traditions. This is why they have come to live in a village. They want to do things "for the village" and it is all very exhausting if you happen to be an "old villager" and you just want to be left alone. What I cannot understand is why a person who has got the wit (才智) to make enough money to come and live comfortably in the country, and have a centrally-heated house and a car, should want to put on entertainment in a hut (小屋). These people are just playing at village life—kidding themselves that they are genuine country folk. They wear us out. When their work is done they want to play in the village and when our work is done we want to play outside it. I suppose that sums it up.11.We can learn from this passage that the writer ______.A. doesn't learn about what village people are doingB. tells the other village people about the pubC. never tells people anything about himselfD. doesn't often go to the village pub12.According to the passage, the young village people_______.A. want their pleasure outside the villageB. don't like going to the community centerC. don't like the new peopleD. want to see the latest group in the village13.In the writer's opinion, the new people _______.A. want to get rid of the old ways of the villageB. want to be left alone by people in the villageC. know that they aren't accepted by people in the villageD. do things that change the village from how it is14.The old village people _______.A. don't want to get rid of their old things for new thingsB. are not ready to accept the new people in their villageC. want a new community center with a place to parkD. want to go back to their own traditions15.It can be inferred from this passage that the author_______.A. likes to play at village lifeB. disagrees with the new peopleC. likes laughing at the new peopleD. wants the new people to go awayPart 4 Multiple Choice(每小题：分)Directions: Choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.1.One of his eyes was injured in an accident, but after a______ operation, he quickly recovered his sight.A. delicateB. considerateC. preciseD. sensible2.Could you please _____ an appointment for me to see Mr.Smith?A. manageB. arrangeC. takeD. prepare3.Mr. Lewis broke the world ______ for the 100 meters.A. markB. standardC. levelD. record4.In American universities, classes are often arranged inmore flexible _____ and many jobs on campus are reserved for students.A. scalesB. patternsC. gradesD. ranksst year the advertising rate ________ by 20 percent.A. roseB. raisedC. arousedD. arose6.The guard walked through the train ______ everyone'sticket.A. inspectingB. overlookingC. reviewingD. analyzing7.Our holiday was _______ by showers of rain.A. spoiledB. destroyedC. crashedD. discouraged8.Students or teachers can participate in excursions (短途旅行) to lovely beaches around the island at regular ________.A. gapsB. rateC. intervalsD. length9.We were tired of hearing him ________ about how strong hewas.A. commentB. remarkC. referD. boast10.He played the guitar (吉他) so well that everyone was_______.A. affectedB. arousedC. effectedD. impressed11.Most nurses are women, but in the higher ranks of themedical profession women are in a _______.A. scarcityB. minorityC. minimumD. shortage12.My uncle rarely used to oversleep, _________?A. wasn't heB. didn't heC. was heD. did he13.Jack was about to announce our plan but I ________.A. put him throughB. turned him outC. gave him upD. cut him short14.Only after a long chat, _________ that Mr. Smith was infact a boss of a big factory.A. he realizedB. he has realizedC. did he realizeD. has realized he15.The room ________ cool in summer and warm in winter.A. feelsB. has been feltC. is feltD. has been feeling16.The goods piled up there require _______ carefully.A. to be looked afterB. looking afterC. being looked afterD. looked after17.There's a man at the reception desk who seems very angryand I think he means ________ trouble.A. makingC. to have madeD. having made18.I found him always _______ of others.A. thoughtB. thinkC. thinksD. thoughtful19.My wallet is nowhere to be found.
