Some people say the Chinese were the first to start it, others believe it was the ancient Germans, and still others claim it was the Romans.We know that the Chinese have always had a great festival at the time of their New Year, which comes later than ours. The Chinese New Year festival lasts several days. The ancient Germans established a New Year festival because of the changing seasons. The German winter began in about the middle of November. It was the time when they gathered the harvest. Because everybody came together at this time for the happy occasion, and because it meant they would have a period of rest from work afterwards. They would make merry and have a great holiday. Even though it was November, they considered it the beginning of the New Year! When the Romans conquered Europe, they changed this time of celebration to the first of January. From then on the coming of the New Year was a symbol of a new life with new hope for the future. This custom and this meaning have lasted to this day. We celebrate the New Year hoping it will bring us a good life.Questions 21 to 23 are based on the passage you have just heard.21. What is the author’s nationality?22. Who are NOT mentioned to have started the celebration of New Year?23. Why do people celebrate the New Year festival nowadays?Passage TwoAccording to a recent poll, a large majority of Americans are in favor of retaining the present 55-mile-an-hour speed limit. This speed was imposed in 1973 when fuel shortages became crucial. Seventy-five percent of the persons surveyed think that the law is a good one. They point to the decrease in the highway death rate or to the saving of fuel as reasons for their opinion. Easterners and older people, rather than young adults, are more likely to argue for retention of the law.Likewise, only 23 percent of the people surveyed favor a higher speed limit for trucks. The trucking industry contends that truck engines work more efficiently at higher speeds and that trucks traveling at higher speeds reach markets more quickly, thereby saving consumers money. Some of the persons polled argue that trucks on certain highways are already involved in a disproportionate number of fatal highway accidents. Questions 24 to 26 are based on the passage you have just heard.24. What was the principle reason for the originalimposition of the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit?25. Which of the following are less likely to favor retaining the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit?26. Why do truckers want a higher speed limit for trucks? Passage ThreeNow, we’ll bring you a special news bulletin.The three astronauts have splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean, a hundred and forty-five miles southwest of Hawaii, only six miles from the aircraft carrier that was dispatched for the recovery mission. The space module floated down on three parachutes and landed right-side-up in the water.Mission Control in Houston confirmed that Parachutes and landing systems had functioned properly. Mission Control has advised that the astronauts to remain inside the module until they are lifted aboard the aircraft carrier.An air force helicopter is already hovering above the module and seven divers are in the process of attaching lines to the spacecraft.The astronauts have returned after fifteen days in space. Possibly one of the most important accomplishments of this mission was the extensive photographing of the Sun’s surface.After two days of physical examinations and observation, the astronauts will fly to Houston to reunite with their families.Ladies and Gentlemen, we have confirmation that the astronauts are now aboard the aircraft carrier. They seem to be in very good conditions and they prepare for the welcoming ceremonies.Questions 27 to 30 are based on the passage you have just heard.27. According to the reporter, where did the spacecraft splash down?28. How many divers were in the process of attaching lines to the spacecraft?29. How long had the astronauts been in space?30. According to the reporter, where are the astronauts now?申明：所有资料为本人收集整理，仅限个人学习使用，勿做商业用途。

It’s a Christmas gift from my son.W: Well, it's beautiful. Your son has very good taste.Text 4M: So how is your new roommate?W: She really makes me angry.M: What happened?W: She's always making loud noises at midnight. When I remind her, she's always rude. Text 5W: Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr Tang.M: Oh, he is not on this floor. He is on the fourth floor. Go down the stairs and turn left.

Don't get me wrong. It has nothing to do with you, Frank. Everybody says you are an excellent manager. M: Problems, what problems?

Bye!Text 10M: Could you suggest some ways to bring family members closer together?W: Well, I feel it is very important for families to have regular meals together. One of my good childhood memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters. Because my husband and I both worked and our three children were busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First we tried setting fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had the idea that everyone told his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually, though, they began to see the evenings together as interesting and helpful. We loved a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other’s problems. After a couple of months anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now we all feel than we have been able to build stronger relationships within the family that we had before.2、北京Text 1W: Would you like to go to the cinema tonight?M: I'd rather stay at home and watch TV.

Uh, we went to museums that I’d never seen before. Uh, and we also went to the opera one night. Oh, my gosh, it was just beautiful. And I had never been to the opera before. You know, when someone from out of town comes to visit, you end up doing things in your own city that you’d never thought of doing before. It was really great. The only thing is, uh, if Ihad it all to do all over again, I probably would work out our schedule for exactly what we’ll do on what day because some days we spent, you know, a couple of hours just trying to decide what to do.Text 4W: OK, Mr. Wilson. Can you go over the events as you remember them?M: Um, I, I was on my way home from the chemist. It was about twenty-five to six. I’d just bought some medicine for my little boy and…W: How can you be sure about the time?M: Well, I’d just been to the chemist, as I say, and I remember saying to the girl, “Well, I suppose you must be glad the day’s over,” and she said, “Oh, no, not today, we do usually shut at 5:30, but it’s our late night tonight, unfortunately. We don’t shut until a quarter to eight, so another two and a quarter hours to go.”W: So, it was 5:35.M: Yes, and just as I was going to cross the road, I saw two men run out of the pub opposite, jump into a red car, and drive off at top speed. There was a driver already in the car waiting for them, of course, so there were three of them altogether.W: Yes, and we found out that one of the servicemen in the pub was the one who organized it all. He handed the money over to the two men who went into the pub.M: Oh! So you’ve arrested them all now, have you?W: All but one, sir, so what you said could be very important.Text 5W: And when did you begin this sort of work?M: Let’s see now…Uh, yes, six years ago, this March.W: And you enjoy it?M: O h yes, very much. It’s very tiring, with long hours on the job, sometimes, uh, as much as twelve hours. Well, uh, but it’s exciting to meet people from all over the world, it really is.W: What exactly do you do?M: Well, I take tourists to the famous places in the city, tell them the history of the places, talk about why they’re famous, but, uh, then there’s the other side.W: What do you mean?M: Well, you know, when foreigners come to this country, things are very different, so, um, it is my job to give them advice, uh, help them with problems, and, well, make them feel comfortable.W: And what are necessary for the job?M: Well, uh, they have to enjoy meeting new people, and they, well, they must take special courses in the history of the city and things like that.W: And do they have to know foreign languages?M: Yes, yes, that’s a must. Otherwise, a tour company can use only you for the groups that speak English and most of the tourists come from South America.W: South America? I see. So they speak Spanish.M: That’s right, Spanish. But my company will hire only people who speak at least two foreign languages.W: And you? How many languages do you speak?M: Me? I speak three: Spanish, French, and Italian.W: Three languages. Then I can see why your work is so easy for you.第二节：听取信息Text 6Before we begin the first program of the day, which is chemistry for the Open University at three o’clock in just two minutes time, let’s take a look at a few of the programs later in the day.

Oh! Look! Here comes the bus. Thank you for reminding me. (Text 10)Hello, everyone. First let me introduce myself. My name is Jenny Barker, and I work at St. James Hospital. As most of you know, I'm here today to talk about blood transfusion. The idea of a blood transfusion is very simple, but that idea has saved many thousands of lives over the past century. Often, if a person is in an accident, or has an operation, he will lose a lot of blood. And these are the times when the blood transfusion is needed. This simply means taking blood from another person and putting it into the body of the patient. Doctors have been carrying out blood transfusions for hundreds of years. At first, they used blood from sheep. But that wasn't very successful. It wasn't until the last century that doctors realized there are several types of blood, and that the correct type must always be used. Once they knew that, blood transfusions had become almost a hundred percent successful. So, you might be thinking, what does this have to do with me? Well, it has something to do with all of us. Hospitals need to keep banks of blood ready for transfusions. The only way they can get that blood is from ordinary people like you. Every human body has 5 liters of blood, and we take 0.5 liters from each person. This is completely safe. In fact, your body will make enough blood to replace it after a round day. Giving blood only takes a short while, and it doesn't hurt. It costs you nothing, and it could save a life. So please give blood.5、湖南Text 1M: What are you doing tonight, Rosy?

New shirt?M: No, I’ve had this shirt for a long time. But I’ve bought these shoes yesterday. Do you like them?W: Yes, very nice. They look good with those trousers.Text 5W: My mother said that I can’t go to Tom’s birthday party on Wednesday night.M: How come?W: Because it’s a school night, and exams are next week. She wants me to stay home and study.I really want to go. I don’t know what to do.M: Why don’t you promise to come back early?Text 6M: Excuse me, there is a problem with my room.W: And what is the problem?M: I asked for a non-smoking room, but I don’t have one.

Good luck And thanks for coming in today.Text 10M: Well; I’d love to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns. I grew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city; so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city; but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one; I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town; you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can’t get around without one because there isn’t any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking; but there you have a choice of taking public transport; which is chea per than driving. So; if you don’t have a car; you’d better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films; concerts; and other wonderful shows. However; these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. However; you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course; safety should be considered; and that’s one area where small towns are better than big cities. Still; I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.。

The thing that I want to tell you today is this: education is important. When I came to the U.S., I was only thinking about being a carpenter, but I could not read the newspaper and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this, so I entered the city college to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you are 15 years old in my country, you finish school and then you learn a trade. And that’s exactly what I did. When I was 15 years old, I learned how to be a carpenter. A year later, I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes and history classes and I became a full-time college student. And today when I look back, I ’m so happy because you never know where life will take you. All of a sudden, I started making money, because I was really good at math. You know, how to work out everything with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which 4. B9. C 14. A 3. C 8. B 13. A 7. A 12. Bis doing really well.1.

And in today’s program, I’dlike to share with you a special kind of English culture—the football. A lot ofpeople in England are crazy about football. During the football season,whenever there is a big match, all the flags for local football teams, such asLiverpool and Newcastle are hung outside every window or even spread proudly onT-shirts or scarves. There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air. Groups ofyoung men crowd into dark packed pubs, staring at television screens. Ofcourse, they are covered head to toe in the colors of their team. They shout andscream in sadness when their team loses a goal or with joy when there is amoment of success. You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up inthe excitement, as far as victories are concerned. England had its big momentin 1966 in Wimbledon Stadium. The World Cup victory is in the hearts and mindsof all football fans.Now, whenever England is playing a big match, red and white covers every inchof every pub, a symbol of hope一the Englishflag. While football has never been something I’m particularly interested in.For years, I’ve had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support. Youcannot say you don’t like or do not follow football in England, as often thiswill lead to a long dialogue in which someone will begin telling you why youshould support their team.。

The Common Wealth is active in a huge number of areas such as health and economics. The heads of government meeting is held every two years where the leaders of the member states get together to discuss current issues. Common Wealth Day is held in the second week of March every year when Common Wealth’s citizens, particularly children, have a chance to celebrate their friendship. The Common Wealth also holds sporting and arts events. There is an annual writer’s price and a yearly arts and crafts competition.

This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard. The most obvious goal of a college educationer is to give knowledge, but it is far from the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your memory for many years, and some of those that do might be proved false by new knowledge. At Harvard, we have looked to other things we can give that will last a little longer. Among these things are certain habits of mind, such as the ability to have more critical analysis, to make more accurate and logical use of information and so forth. In addition to these habits of thought, it is our hope that we can help you develop certain attitudes of mind like a willingness to accept uncertainty and the lack of definite truth. Beyond providing these qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of leisure time which can be cultivated in the classroom.

The guy had just smoked them.And then,the lawyer sued the insurance company—and get this—he won! M:What?W:And so the company had to pay the claim.M:No!You’re kidding!W:But that’s not all!So the insurance company accepted the decision and wrote the guy a check for $15,000.But here’s the best part!After he cashed the check,the guy was arrested.The insurance company had him charged with24counts of arson!And based on his own insurance claim,the lawyer was convicted of deliberately burning his insured property.M:I don’t believe it.W:Well,he was sentenced to24months in jail and a$24,000fine.Isn’t that great?M:Unbelievable!Conversation TwoListen to the conversation,and complete the sentences with one word according to what you hear.Then write the answers on the answer sheet.111··考试与评价·高校英语教研版M:Welcome to Our Modern World.On our show today,we’re talking to Rachel Kim about the power of persuasion.All around us,there are advertisements trying to make us believe something or persuading us to buy something.Fear not,however,Rachel is here to reveal their secrets and show us how to resist all this persuasion.Hi,Rachel.Persuading people is big business,isn’t it?I mean,supermarkets and politicians,advertisers and salespeople,they all take it very seriously,don’t they?W:Yes.They spend a lot of money coming up with psychological tricks to guarantee that even the most cautious among us are open to manipulation.M:Let’s talk about supermarkets.How do they make us buy things we don’t necessarily want to buy?W:Well,their first trick is to try to relax us by playing music and by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into the store.Research has shown us that the smell of fresh bread makes people buy more.M:I know.I’ve probably done that without even thinking about it.W:Exactly.Most of the time,we’re completely unaware that it’s going on.It’s subconscious persuasion. M:So what about the advertising industry?How do advertisements persuade us to buy certain products,or watch certain shows?W:Well,there’s so much of it.These days ads are everywhere from TV shows to websites to our cell phones. And no matter how much we think we know about what the advertisers are doing,they still end up winning.Generally,we still fall for the ad and end up buying the product,which,more often than not,is something we don’t need.M:Yes.W:When you get down to it,there are really only two types of ads:those that appeal to the thinking part of our brain and those that appeal to the emotional part.Generally,ads that appeal to our emotions are usually much more successful.These emotional ads are often based on psychological theories about the mind.By that I mean,advertisers know that images can reach our emotions at a level that we are not aware of and so are much more powerful in persuading us to do things.Section CIn this section,you will hear five short news items.Each item will be read only once.A fter each item,there will be a fifteen-second pause.During the pause,read the question and the four choices marked A,B,C and D,and decide which is the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.16.Researchers are sailing to a distant part of Antarctica so they can better understand how much and how fast seas could rise because of global warming.The area,which is where the Thwaites glacier is located,is sometimes called“the place in the world that’s the hardest to get to.”Thirty-two scientists are starting a more than two-month trip aboard an American research ship.Their goal is to study the area where the large,but melting,Thwaites glacier faces the Amundsen Sea.17.Vaccine makers are racing to make changes to their COVID-19shots.They hope to make sure their vaccines are effective against the newest coronavirus threat even before it is clear a change is needed. Experts doubt that current COVID-19vaccines will become useless.But they say it is critical to see how fast companies can produce a new vaccine and prove it works.The newest version of the virus,omicron, appeared just a few weeks ago.But,scientists know it will not be the last.Omicron“is pulling the fire alarm.”112··Testing and Evaluation(Tertiary English Teaching&Research)18.Scientists have been experimenting with four-legged robots for years,trying to see if they could be used as pack animals for carrying heavy loads over a difficult terrain.But the machine’s power requirements limited their potential.That’s changed now,with a running robot designed by a group of engineers that operates on batteries rather than on heavy gasoline-powered engines.Scientists say these new robots will soon be able to run like cheetahs.But for now,the different technologies that will bring them closer to everyday life are still being tested.One of the obstacles continues to be power consumption.19.With coronavirus restrictions easing in some places,companies around the world are struggling to find workers,ships,parts and fuel.Such shortages have led to higher prices for goods and services and have threatened economic recovery.In Britain,the nation’s largest chicken producer warned that the20-year period of cheap food prices is ending.The head of the producer said food prices will go much higher because of increasing costs for labor and supplies.On Thursday,the Swedish central bank reported that inflation in the northern European country reached its highest level in more than10years.Similar reports came from Spain and Ireland.20.New Zealand’s government believes it has come up with a new plan to end tobacco smoking:a lifetime ban for those aged14or younger.Under a new law the government plans to pass in2022,the lowest age to buy cigarettes would keep rising year after year.The yearly increase could mean that65years after the law takes effect,shoppers could still buy cigarettes—but only if they could prove they were at least80 years old.Officials hope smoking will disappear many years before then.The new plan sets a goal of having fewer than5percent of New Zealanders smoking by2025.Section DIn this section,you will hear two short passages.The passages will be read only once.A fter each passage, there will be a one-minute pause.DictationListen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words or phrases you hear.Write the answers on the answer sheet.Laser technology has aided scientists with their knowledge of Stonehenge,the stone monument near the city of Salisbury,England.Most of the stones at Stonehenge stand in incomplete circles.One of the largest stones weighs about40thousand kilograms.Some stones are more than seven meters high.Others lie broken on the ground.The mysterious stone formation has stood on the flat,windy Salisbury Plain for perhaps five thousand years.But the organization English Heritage used modern technology to solve some of that mystery. Recently,researchers working for English Heritage reported what they found after directing lasers at some of the stones.The lasers showed bright gray-white surfaces under material collected on the stones over the ages.And the intense light seemingly identified an ancient secret.The uncovered surfaces appear to have been cut and shaped with a clear purpose.The researchers say the designers of Stonehenge wanted to improve the ability to see sunlight through the circles twice each year.113··考试与评价·高校英语教研版Some people believe the designers of Stonehenge wanted to make the best showing possible of sunlight on the longest day of the year.That day is known as the summer solstice.The designers also may have shaped stones to capture the sunset on the shortest day of the year—the winter solstice.The effect of the light passing through spaces between the stones has brought many people to the monument on those special days. Sometimes clouds cover the sun,but people come anyway.Researchers say Stonehenge’s ancient“architects”placed importance on what people could see from northeast of the monument.It is thought that travelers came toward the stone circle in that direction on a path from the Avon River.The pathway is one of Stonehenge’s two avenues.The stones on the northeast side are the biggest and the most similar to each other on the monument.The southwestern part has smaller stones.The smaller ones are less alike and have not been improved like the others.SummaryListen to the passage and complete the note using not more than three words for each blank according to what you hear.Write the answers on the answer sheet.A disease that threatens the world’s most popular fruit—the banana—has arrived in Latin America.As a result,officials in Colombia have declared a state of emergency.Bananas are among the most important food crops in the world,along with wheat,rice and corn.That information comes from the United Nations(UN). Five years ago,the UN warned that a disease called Tropical Race4,or TR4,could destroy“much of the world’s banana crop.”The disease first appeared in Asia in the1990s.It later spread to Africa and the Middle East.There are as many as1,000kinds of bananas grown in more than150countries.The TR4 disease only affects the most popular and common kind of banana—the Cavendish.It is easier and more cost-effective for growers to produce just one kind of banana.Growers in Colombia and many other places choose Cavendish bananas.This variety can be shipped to countries around the world without ripening too quickly.Banana industry watchers say there is still time to find another kind of banana to grow.Randy Ploetz is a retired scientist from the University of Florida.He studied tropical plant diseases.He said of the recent spread of TR4,“I don’t think it’s going to impact the availability of the Cavendish in supermarkets anytime soon.”He added that Asian countries affected by the TR4disease have planted different kinds of Cavendish or moved to uninfected farmlands.But those bananas are not as productive,and they later become infected,too.In Colombia,officials are taking special measures to stop the disease from spreading.Officials have removed plants infected with the disease and covered soil with black plastic sheets to prevent spread of the disease.Officials have also set up controls at entrances to affected banana farms where they disinfect the trucks that travel between the farms and ports.Gert Kema is a plant scientist who studies bananas.He agrees that the banana industry needs to diversify.He says there are many types of tomatoes and peppers grown around the world,for example.Bananas should be no different.This is the end of the listening part.Please transfer your answers to the answer sheet. 114··Testing and Evaluation(Tertiary English Teaching&Research)。

If we change large amounts, we’ll be unable to change any for our other guests.W: Why do you keep such a small amount in the first place?M: We can’t have too much money kept at night.W: I see. Well, I am afraid it can’t be helped.M: Why don’t you ask the tour guide to stop at a bank on your way to change some more.W: That’s a good idea. I’ll do that.Text 10Many Americans are moving to big cities. At the same time, many Americans are leaving the cities and looking for the “g ood life” in the country. Although they think they know what they want, they don’t always find it.Unless you know something about small-town life, you may be greatly surprised. There are not so many job opportunities there. People are not always happy about having new comers move in. They like to keep thing the way they are. And although there is usually a movie theater and a couple of restaurants, there isn’t a lot to do at night.But if you’re looking for a more relaxed way of life, if you want to save money, and if you can enjoy yourself, small-town life may be for you. Before you decide whether or not to leave the city, spend a couple of weeks in a village. Look around and talk to people. Think what it would be like to live there fifty-two weeks a year. And then, if you’re sure, you can make the big move.。
