Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.TEXT AWhat is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science? We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines, products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. Through technology, science improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment.The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum.He is skeptical - he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available - and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to verify them.Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events take place.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.81. Many people believe that science helps society to progress throughA. applied knowledge.B. more than one aspect.C. technology only.D. the use of machines.82. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about curiosity?A. It gives the scientist confidence and pleasure in work.B. It gives rise to interest in problems that are unexplained.C. It leads to efforts to investigate potential connections.D. It encourages the scientist to look for new ways of acting.83. According to the passage, a successful scientist would notA. easily believe in unchecked statements.B. easily criticize others' research work.C. always use his imagination in work.D. always use evidence from observation.84. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Application of technology.B. Progress in modem society.C. Scientists' ways of thinking and acting.D. How to become a successful scientist.85. What is the author's attitude towards the topic?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Biased.D. Unclear.TEXT BOver the past several decades, the U.S., Canada, and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with "nonhuman creatures" such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual, paranormal phenomena in countries such asPeru.The Nazca "lines" of Peru were discovered in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet - meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B.C., when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from which to view them. So how and why did the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by extraterrestrials as runways for their aircraft. The scientific community did not take long to scoffat and abandon von Daniken's theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community.Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the Internet. Currently there are over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin America's past, and even respected scientists have joined the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms.Will the Internet help explain these unsolved mysteries? Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.86. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Latin America has long received attention for unusual phenomena.B. Public attention is now directed towards countries like Peru.C. Public interest usually focuses on North America and Europe.D. Some ancient civilizations have unsolved mysteries.87. According to the passage, the Nazca lines were foundA. in mountains.B. in stones.C. on animals.D. on a plain.88. We can infer from the passage that the higher the lines are seen, the ____ the images they present.A. smallerB. largerC. clearerD. brighter89. There has been increasing interest in the Nazca lines mainly because ofA. the participation of scientists.B. the emergence of the lnternet.C. the birth of new theories.D. the interest in the Internet.90. The author is ____ about the role of the lnternet in solving mysteries.A. cautiousB. pessimisticC. uncertainD. optimisticTEXT CGraduation speeches are a bit like wedding toasts. A few are memorable. The rest tend to trigger such thoughts as, "Why did I wear such uncomfortable shoes?"But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger. Every year a few colleges and universities in the US attract attention because they've managed to book high-profile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers' wise remarks.Last month, the following words of wisdom were spread:"You really haven't completed the circle of success unless you can help somebody else move forward." (Oprah Winfrey, Duke University)."There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together." (Hillary Clinton, New York University)."'This really is your moment. History is yours to bend." (Joe Biden, Wake Forest University).Of course, the real "get" of the graduation season was first lady Michelle Obama's appearance at the University of California, Merced. "Remember that you are blessed," she told the class of 2009, "Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you must give something back... As advocate and activist Marian Wright Edelman says, 'Service is the rent we pay for living ... it is the true measure, the only measure of success'."Calls to service have a long, rich tradition in these speeches. However, it is possible for a graduation speech to go beyond cliche and say something truly compelling. The late writer David Foster Wallace's 2005 graduation speech at Kenyon College in Ohio talked about how to truly care about other people. It gained something of a cult after it was widely circulated on the Internet. Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs' address at Stanford University that year, in which he talked about death, is also considered one of the best in recent memory.But when you're sitting in the hot sun, fidgety and freaked out, do you really want to be lectured aboutthe big stuff?. Isn't that like trying to maintain a smile at your wedding reception while some relative gives a toast that amounts to "marriage is hard work"? You know he's right; you just don't want to think about it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you can't really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing.That may seem anticlimactic. But it also gets to the heart of one of life's greatest, saddest truths: that our most "memorable" occasions may elicit the fewest memories. It's probably not something most graduation speakers would say, but it's one of the first lessons of growing up.91. According to the passage, most graduation speeches tend to recall ____ memories.A. greatB. trivialC. unforgettableD. unimaginative92. "But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger" is explainedA. in the final paragraph.B. in the last but one paragraph.C. in the first paragraph.D. in the same paragraph.93. The graduation speeches mentioned in the passage are related to the following themes EXCEPTA. death.B. success.C. service.D. generosity.94. It is implied in the passage that at great moments people fail toA. remain clear-headed.B. keep good manners.C. remember others' words.D. recollect specific details.95. What is "one of the first lessons of growing up"?A. Attending a graduation ceremony.B. Listening to graduation speeches.C. Forgetting details of memorable events.D. Meeting high-profile graduation speakers.TEXT DCultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten.In some New Guinea societies, the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together. The men take their meals in a men's house, separately from their wives and children. Women prepare and eat their food in their own houses and take the husband's portion to the men's house. The women eat with their children in their own houses. This pattern is also widespread among Near Eastern societies.Eating is a metaphor that is sometimes used to signify marriage. In many New Guinea societies, like that of the Lesu on the island of New Ireland in the Pacific and that of the Trobriand Islanders, marriage is symbolized by the couple's eating together for the first time. Eating symbolizes their new status as a married couple. In U.S. society, it is just the reverse. A couple may go out to dinner on a first date.。

How can the professor expect us to do it in such a short time?M: Yeah, but what troubles me is that I can‟t find the book in the library or in the university bookstore.Q: What does the man mean?12.M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I‟d also be happy to pick up anything you need.W: Well, I don‟t like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you what, why don‟t we go toget her? Q: What does the woman mean?13.M: Forgive the mess in here, we have a party last night. There were a lot of people and they all brought food.W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I guess it‟s pretty obvious what you‟ll be doing most of today.Q: What does the woman think the man will do?14.W: What time would suit you for the first round talks with John Smith?M: Well, you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is as good as the next.Q: What does the man mean?15.W: I was so angry yesterday! My biology teacher did not even let me explain why I missed the field trip. He just wouldn‟t let me pass!M: That doesn‟t seem fair. I‟d feel that way too if I were you.Q: What does the man imply?16.M: I really can‟t stand the way David controls the con versation all the time. If he is going to be at your Christmas party, I just won‟t come.W: I‟m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come.Q: What does the woman imply?17.W: You‟re taking a course with Professor Johnson. What‟s your im pression so far?M: Well, many students could hardly stay awake in his class without first drinking a cup of coffee. Q: What does the man imply?18.W: Have you ever put a computer together before?M: No, never. But I think if we follow these instructions exactly, we won‟t have much trouble. Q: What are the speakers going to do?Conversation OneW: What sort of hours do you work, Steve?M: Well I have to work very long hours, about eleven hours a day.W: What time do you start?M: I work 9 to 3, then I start again at 5:30 and work until 11, six days a week. So I have to work very unsocial hours.W: And do you have to work at the weekend?M: Oh, yes, that‟s our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off.W: What are the things you have to do and the things you don‟t have to do?M: Uh, I don‟t have to do the washing-up, so that‟s good. I have to wear white, and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean.W: What‟s hard about the job?M: You are standing up all the time. When we are busy, people get angry and sharp, but that‟s normal.W: How did you learn the profession?M: Well, I did a two-year course at college. In the first year we had to learn the basics, and then we had to take exams.W: Was it easy to find a job?M: I wrote to about six hotels and on e of them gave me my first job, so I didn‟t have to wait too long.W: And what‟s the secret of being good at your job?M: Attention to detail. You have to love it. You have to show passion for it.W: And what are your plans for the future?M: I want to have my own place when the time is right.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q19: What does the man say about his job?Q20: What does the man think is the hardest part of his job?Q21: Where did the man get his first job after graduation?Q22: What does the man say is important to being good at his job?Conversation TwoW: Now you‟ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don‟t quite under stand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.M: Oh yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.W: Yes. why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?M: I am sorry I‟ve no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That‟s strange, isn‟t it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.M: Yes, I don‟t understand that at all.W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?M: I don‟t know. I think I‟ll probably give them 2 pounds a week.W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn‟t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?M: Yeah, they do.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you‟ve just he ard.Q23: What is the table of figures about?Q24: What do we learn from the conversation about Bri tish children‟s pocket money?Q25: Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money?Section BPassage OneAs the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company‟s district managers. Everyone arrived on time, and Alex‟s presentation went extremely well. He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company‟s plans. “I believe we are going t o continue to increase our share of the market,” he began, “because of the quality of the people in this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district. He sets the term for everyone else. If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example.” When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. “Things were going so well until the end”, Alex said disappointedly. “Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes”, the district manager replied. “Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company‟s growth. They don‟t care at all about political correctness. But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as …he‟ in your speech.”Questions26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting?27. What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his presentation?28. What do we learn about the audience at the meeting?29. Why did Alex fail to receive the warm response he had hoped for?Passage TwoThe way to complain is to act business-like and important. If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager. When the manager comes, ask his or her name. And then state your problem and what you expect to have done about it. Be polite! Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere. But also be firm in making your complaint. Besides, act important. This doesn‟t mean to put on airs and say “do you know who I am?” What it means is t hat people are often treated the way they expect to be treated. If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be granted, chances are it will be granted. The worst way to complain is over the telephone. You are speaking to a voice coming from someo ne you cannot see. So you can‟t tell how the person on the line is reacting. It is easy for that person to give you the run-around. Complaining in person or by letter is generally more effective. If your complaint doesn‟t require an immediate response, it often helps to complain by letter. If you have an appliance that doesn‟t work, send a letter to the store that sold it. Be business-like and stick to the point. Don‟t spend a paragraph on how your uncle John tried to fix the problem and couldn‟t.Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. What does the speaker suggest you do when you are not served properly at a restaurant?31. Why does the speaker say the worst way to complain is over the telephone?32. What should you do if you make a complaint by letter?Passage ThreeBarbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. Her husband, Tom, is an engineer and makes an excellent salary. Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing. She quit her job when she became pregnant, but is now interested in returning to work. She's been offered an excellent job with the government. Her husband feels it's unnecessary for her to work since the family does not need the added income. He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children. If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week. Barbara, on the other hand, has missed the excitement of her profession and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volunteer work. She would also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for money whenever she wants to buy something. She does not think it's necessary to stay home every day with the children and she knows a very reliable babysitter who's willing to come to her house. Tom does not think a babysitter can replace a mother and thinks it's a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who's not part of the family.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. What was Barbara's profession before she had children?34. What does Barbara's husband suggest she do if she wants to work?35. What does Tom think about hiring a babysitter?Section CAlmost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter, more (36)______, less afraid of what he doesn't know, better at finding and (37) ______ things out, more confident, resourceful (机敏的), persistent and (38) ______ than he will ever be again in his schooling – or, unless he is very (39) ______ and very lucky, for the rest of his life.Already, by paying close attention to and (40) ______ with the world and people around him, and without any school-type (41) ______ instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and (42)______ than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the (43) ______ of language. He has discovered it. Babies don't even know that language exists.And (44) _________________________________________ _______ . He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language,(45)____________________________________________________________________ _______ until it does work. And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, (46) ________________________________________________, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.36. curious37. figuring38. independent39. unusual40. interacting41. formal42. abstract43. mystery44. he has found out how it works and learnt to use it appropriately45. by trying it out and seeing whether it works, by gradually changing it and refining it46. including many of the concepts that the schools think only they can teach him。

It has 11,000students, 12% of them are international students, mostly graduate students. The universityhas schools for law, medicine and social work. It also has a Business School, a School ofDesign and Visual Arts and a School of Engineering and Applied Science. But more than 60% ofcourses are taught through the Arts and Sciences Program (Q11). The new scholl year thatbegins this fall will cost about $ 50,000 for undergraduates, that includes 12 months of livingexpenses estimated at $20,000 (Q12). Graduate tuition differs by program. Tuition for theMaster of Social Work Program, for example, will cost $27,000 in the coming year. The Masterof Business Administration Program will cost about $38,000. The university offers financialassistance to international students including first year students, but says its resources arelimited. Scholarships are available. The university also offers a monthly payment plan tospread out the cost of tuition. It offers loan programs. International students in the UnitedStates generally cannot receive federalstudent loans (Q13), but they maybe able to take outprivate loans as many American students do. Washington University in St. Louis was namedEliot Seminary when it opened in 1853. Later the name was changed to honor the first Americanpresident --- George Washington.Questions 14 to 17 are based on the following passage.A new study from the University of New South Wales has discovered that during the workingweek, Australian fathers only spend an average of just over a minute each day alone with theirchildren. Australian mothers, on the other hand, spend 3 hours a week purely looking after theirchildren (Q14). On much greater disparity than in other countries, like America, Denmark, Italyand France, working couples divide the child-care more evenly. According to the author of thestudy, traditionally, Australian fathers appear to like the fun aspects of parenhood, but stayaway from daily child-care activities. So while they tend to be happy taking the kids to the parkor to sports event, they are unlikely to participate regularly in feeding, bathing, or taking thekids to school (Q15). In short, Australian parenting is seen as a woman’s job and aman’shobby. However, the last 20 years have seen the arrival of the so-called “new man” --- the manwho is willing to share the housework and child-care.The “new man” has a picture of hischildren on his computer desktop at work;he never misses the kids’ school plays and hepasses on a drink after work so that he can get home in time to read their bedtime story (Q16).This new study suggests that the new man feels a little more at home in Europe than inAustralia (Q17). Indeed, a poll conducted in the UK indicated that almost 70% of British womenthought that men were as good at raising children as women.Questions 18 to 20 are based on the following passage.UNICEF is joinning with a nonprofit group to bring AIDS prevention programs to more womenand children in five countries (Q19A). UNICEF, United Nations Children’s Fund, will work withFamily Health International. The new partnership will be established at first in Guyana, India,Malawi, Nigeriaand Zambia. One of the goals is to improve care for babies infected withH.I.V.,the virus that causes AIDS. Another is to prevent the spread of H.I.V. from mother to child.Activities will depend on the needs of each country. In some cases, anti-AIDS drugs will beprovided to infected parents of children. Women and children living in rurual communities willreceive most of the services (Q18). Both UNICEF and Family Health International will expandtheir partnership into more countries in the future. Family Health International has been workingon public health issues since 1971 (Q19B). The organization is based in North Carolina and hasprograms in 70 countries (Q19D). It does research on infectious diseases and reproductivehealth, and also provides services (Q19C). Experts say an important part of fighting AIDS ispolitical will (Q20). One example they point to is Cambodia. That country has been gettingattention for its progress in reducing some of the highest infection ratesin Asia. Expertspraise the government for supporting public education efforts and programs.SECTION C NEWS BROADCASTNews Item 1 (For Questions 21 and 22)Four American teenagers, all children of U.S. militarypersonnel, have been arrested on charges ofattempted murder after a woman was knocked offher motorbike with rope strung across two poles,Japanese police said.

I‟d feel that way too if I were you.Q: What does the man imply?16. M: I really can‟t sta nd the way David controls the conversation all the time. If he is going to be at your Christmas party, I just won‟t come.W: I‟m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come.Q: What does the woman imply?17. W: You‟re taking a course with Professor Johnson.

I thought it was quite interesting, but I don‟t quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.M: Oh yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.W: Yes. why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?M: I am sorry I‟ve no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That‟s strange, isn‟t it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is. M: Yes, I don‟t understand that at all.W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?M: I don‟t know. I think I‟ll probably giv e them 2 pounds a week.W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn‟t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?M: Yeah, they do.Q23 What is the table of figures about?Q24 What do we learn from the conversation about British children‟s pocket money?Q25 Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money?Section BPassage One 【叙述文】As the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company‟s district managers. Everyone arrived on time, and Alex‟s presentation went extremely well. He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company‟s plans.“I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of the market,” he began, “because of the quality of the people in thi s room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district. He sets the term for everyone else. If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example.” When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. “Things were going so well until the end”, Alex said disappointedly. “Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes”, the district manager replied. “Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company‟s growth. They don‟t care at all about political correctness. But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as …he‟ in your speech.”Q26 Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting?Q27 What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his presentation?Q28 What do we learn about the audience at the meeting?Q29 Why did Alex fail to receive the warm response he had hoped for?Passage Two （议论文）Passage Three【叙述文】Section C Compound Dictation。

(13) they should be spacious and comfortable, and have facilities for using email and laptops, as people have to keep in touch with their offices or headquarters even when they are away.(12)my next point is facilities for hotel guests, things like a bar,a good quality restaurant, preferably offering local food and fitness and sport centers. these are important, because delegates need to be able to relax after a long day of meet-ings and get to know each other in informal situations.finally, for an international conference where delegates are coming from different countries, it can be very useful to choose a hotel that (13) has good transport connections with the nearest airport and all places of interest. this can save everybody a lot of time.key: 11.d 12.b 13.bquestions 14 to 17 are based on the following passage.(17) good morning, ladies and gentlemen. its a great pleasure that i welcome you to the new museum of industrial and rural life.

(16) the displays with all items collected locallyshow what local life used to be like. many displays of local items are in context and show, for example printers and cobblers workshops. whatever you are interested, we hope the museum will have something for you.key: 14.c 15.a 16.d 17.bquestions 18 to 20 are based on the following passage.good afternoon, everybody. thank you very much for inviting me here to talk about safety in dormitory and personal security. first, a few points to bear in mind. youll notice the doors of your dorm have two types of locks, a yale lock and a chubblock. make sure you double (18) lock your door, not just one lock, both of them, however long you are going out for. make sure when you go out, all the windows are closed. those of you in the ground and first-floor rooms will notice that you are locking windows, make sure you use them. lock them every time you go out; (18) lock them at night. if you have got expensive equipmenis in your room, first of all, insure it. so many people lose things and havent got insurance. make sure you insure it.this brings me onto personal security. wherever possible, avoid working alone late at night, especially girl students. avoid dark streets, and try to stick to the well-lit streets whenever possible.

“The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, it can be overwhelming and sometimes confusing.October is usually the busiest month in the academic calendar. Universities have something called Freshers' Week for their newcomers. It's a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don't rush into anything that you'll regret for the next three years.Here are some top tips from past students on how to survive Freshers' Week:- blend in. Make sure you are aware of British social etiquette. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends;- be hospitable. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends;- be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you'll be to meet new people than if you're someone who never leaves their room;- bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you're in and that sends positive messages to your neighbours that you're friendly.So with a bit of clever planning and motivation, Freshers' Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you'll be passing on your wisdom to next year's new recruits.V ocabularywell-respectedadmired, considered to be very goodoverwhelmingputting you under a lot of pressure, very difficult to cope withacademic calendara period from one October to the next October when all the lectures, seminars, assignments, exams and extra-curricular activities (i.e. activities which are not part of the usual college course) that a student's life is made up of take placenewcomershere, first year studentssettle intobecome familiar with and start feeling comfortable and happy aboutnerve-wrackingcausing great anxiety or distressin the same boatin the same difficult or worrying situationon the right footsuccessfullytake it all inunderstand and get used to the new environmentblend inlook or seem the same as people around you, fit in with otherssocial etiquetterules of behavior that are accepted by a certain group of peoplehandyready to give outgive you a head start in making friendshelp you make new friends more easily and quicklypassing on your wisdomexplain and teach the rules of university life专四听写评分原则：1. 听写共分15小节；每节1分。
