Lee Rogers talks to one major book store manager.Lee: Jenny Farrow, you’re the manager of Dalton Books - and you sell an awful lot of books to students, don’t you?Jenny: Yes! We do.Lee: How do you manage to make sure that you’re going to have the books students need when all the new courses begin?Jenny: Basically, we make preparations long before they arrive. Like all other major book retailers, we have a database of information, and using that, we contact course convenors in May and ask them to send us their booklists.Lee: How many books are we talking about?Jenny: For one course?Lee: Yes, as an example.Jenny: An average course requires about 30 books. We ask lecturers to indicate whether a book is what we call ‘essential’reading ... you know, the students simply have to get it ... or whether it’s what they would term ‘recommended’reading or whether it’s just a supplementary text that they tend to refer to as ‘background’ reading.Lee: What about predicted buyers?Jenny: It’s not a perfect system unfortunately. If a lecturer tells us that he expects us to sell 100 copies of a book, we know that we could actually sell anything from 50 to 150. That’s why in practice, when it comes to ordering, it’s a lot safer to go by the previous year’s sales figures - if that’s possible of course ... if we’ve sold the book before. We also build other factors into the equation including the type of course that the books are for, the students’ year group and a measure of our own judgement.Lee: And these criteria make a fairly accurate guide?Jenny: As accurate as we can be, yes.Lee: What about the publishers? Do they take an active role in promoting new books?Jenny: Certainly. The academic and professional publishing market is worth about f700 million a year, so publishers go to some lengths to make sure their books are known. The standard procedure they use is to mail out catalogues to lecturers or colleges and universities, that’s been the main form of promotion for years. Now, of course, they can also post details of new or revised works on websites. Some even go so far as writing individual letters to the appropriate lecturers in order to let them know what’s coming up.Lee: The lecturers then contact you if they’re interested ...Jenny: That’s right. The publishers send us - the book sellers - ‘inspection copies’. Lecturers can then get a free copy and decide whether it’s going to be suitable for their course.Lee: And how does it work with the students? What are they looking for and who helps them most?Jenny: I think lecturers are best placed to understand the students’needs. Often the critical issue is what represents value for money for students. This is more important than price per se.Lee: Do students actually buy books before they start the course?Jenny: Apparently a large proportion of students wait to see what they need. Students have a firm idea of what constitutes a good book so they tend to give themselves time to look at all the options before making a choice. Theytend to go for books that are clear and easy to use. Often the texts that their lecturers recommend turn out to be too academic and remain here on our shelves.Lee: Well that was Jenny Farrow ...SECTION 3 Questions 21-30Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS or A NUMBER for each answer.Procedure for Bookshops▼Keep database of course/college details.▼In May, request 【21】______ from lecturers.▼Categorise books as —essential reading【22】______ reading—background readingWhen ordering, refer to last year’s 【23】______—type of course —students’【24】______—own judgementProcedure for Publishers▼Send 【25】______ to course providers▼Use websites▼Compose personal 【26】______ to academic staff▼Send 【27】______ to bookstoresStudentsMain objective is to find books that are good 【28】______Also look for books that are 【29】______ and 【30】______1．【21】正确答案：(course) booklists/reading list(s)2．【22】正确答案：recommended3．【23】正确答案：sales figures4．【24】正确答案：year (group)5．【25】正确答案：catalogues6．【26】正确答案：letters/correspondence7．【27】正确答案：inspection/free copies8．【28】正确答案：value (for money)9．【29】正确答案：clear/easy to use10．【30】正确答案：easy to use/clearProduction of Rice Rice gives more (35) per hectare than other cereal crops and production has increased over 100% in recent years because of better yields.

I’ve already done a great deal of the preparation myself. Let me run through the procedure with you. I’ve singled out an issue that will entail quite some conflict of opinion. I’ve selected panelists who are well-informed and will probablyhave contradictory points of view. That’s very important, you know.LOUISE: Actually, I feel a bit nervous--how many panelists will there be?PROFESSOR: Well, I’ve invited five panelists for each panel because that’s probably the maximum number that an inexperienced moderator can handle. But don’t worry, I always invite more than we need because you can be sure someone won’t be able to make it--so you’ll probably just end up with four, which is a very manageable number.STUART: Oh, I see.PROFESSOR: And I’ve chosen a moderator—that’s you, by the way.LOUISE: Ah...but...Stuart will help, right?PROFESSOR: Yes. I’ll get onto time-keeping and what-not, shortly. That’s where an assistant is indispensable.STUART: But what procedure do we follow to conduct the panel discussion?PROFESSOR: Don’t worry. I was just about to say. I’ve also settled on the format.STUART: What is it?PROFESSOR: There are various formats that can be followed but I’ve always found this one to be very effective.STUART: Yes?PROFESSOR: Okay, make some notes on these guidelines as I run through them and ask me questions about anything you don’t understand.STUART: We’re ready.PROFESSOR: Firstly, the moderator introduces the topic and the panelists.LOUISE: But we don’t know who the panelists are.PROFESSOR: Don’t worry—I’ve prepared a short biographical introduction for each one of them and I’ll give you that information tomorrow.LOUISE: Oh, good.PROFESSOR: Next, the panelists are given a set amount of time to present their views on the topic. I’d say, about two minutes each should be sufficient. Now, this is where Stuart’s time-keeping is going to be important. You have to keep to the schedule all the way through because the lecture room has only been booked for an hour.STUART: How do I indicate when the time is up?PROFESSOR: You stand off to one side of the panel either with your back to the audience or hidden from the audience but in full view of the panel and moderator. You have a digital clock or timer and you hold up the appropriate number of fingers to give the number of minutes. When the time is up, you make a cutting gesture with your hand.LOUISE: Ah...but...what if the panelists keep talking?PROFESSOR: Then, that’s your job to politely intervene and move on to the next segment which is the discussion itself. Panelists discuss, ask questions and react to the opinions of other panel members. This, of course, is their primary function and should occupy about 60% of the allotted time.LOUISE: Stuart will watch the time, right?PROFESSOR: Yes, because you’ll be making brief notes.LOUISE: Why?PROFESSOR: Well, when the time’s up, the moderator shuts down the debate and provides a summary of the discussion.LOUISE: Oh, and then it’s over?PROFESSOR: Well, no, the secondary function of the panel is to answer questions from the audience and that should take up the remaining 15 to 20 minutes. It’s the leader’s role to recognize appropriate questions and reject those not related to the subject. During the question period you must maintain strict control and this will most likely be the toughest part of the whole job.LOUISE: Oh, dear.PROFESSOR: Stuart will of course help you here by ensuring that as many people as possible have a chance to ask their questions and that no one member of the audience tries to dominate. With about 5 minutes to go, he’ll announce that there’s time for only a couple more questions, then announce “last question”.LOUISE: And then it’s over?PROFESSOR: Not quite. You still have to acknowledge theinvolvement of the panelists and invite your audience to thank them with a round of applause.STUART: Should I clap too?PROFESSOR: Yes, you should both take part in the applause.Complete the notes below.

雅思（听力）模拟试卷11(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. Listening ModuleListening Module (30 minutes & 10 minutes transfer time)听力原文：Saleswoman: Good afternoon. Can I help you?Customer: Yes, I’d like to sign up for the intermediate course in Arabic, please.Saleswoman: Of course. There are three courses. One runs during the day--that’s an intensive course that runs for four weeks. Then there is the weekend course, which runs for eight weeks. Finally, the evening course runs for twelve weeks.Customer: I’d like to join the intensive course, please. My company is posting me to Syria in six weeks and I need to improve on my basic conversational Arabic before then.Saleswoman: I see. Have you taken a course here before?Customer: Yes, I have. I took the Arabic refresher course during the summer. I really enjoyed it.Saleswoman: Do you have your registration card for that course? If so, it will speed up registration and we can give you a 5% discount too.Customer: I think I have it in my handbag. ...Yes, here it is. A little dog-eared, I’m afraid.Saleswoman: Thank you. ...Your name is David Ri...I’m sorry, the rest of your name is not clear.Customer: Rivers--R I V E R S.Saleswoman: Ah, yes. ...OK, I have your details on the computer.Customer: Actually, my address has changed since I took the previous course. My new address is 38 Temple Way.Saleswoman: Thank you. I’ll just change that. Can I have your new postcode too, please?Customer: Certainly--it’s BM9 2EV. My new home telephone number is 698 45 37. My mobile number is the same as before.Saleswoman: That’s 0987 375 633?Customer: That’s fight.Saleswoman: It says here that the teacher was very impressed with you.Customer: Really? Ahmed was a great teacher. Is he still here?Saleswoman: I’m afraid not. He went back to Syria. Since you’re going there, I’d love to give you his email address, but I’m afraid it’s against company policy.Customer: That’s OK. I think I have his email address written on the back of the registration card. I have it on my laptop as well somewhere.Saleswoman: I’m sure he’d be glad to hear from an ex-student.Customer: I’m banking on it. I wouldn’t mind having a friend in Syria when I go there.Saleswoman: I’m sure he’ll be glad to show you around. The course runs Monday to Friday from 10 to 12 and 1 to 3. Nine students have signed up so far. Is that OK?Customer: No problem. And the cost?Saleswoman: 380 pounds, after your discount.Customer: Thank you. Here’s my credit card. ...Will the course be held in this building, like last time?Saleswoman: Yes, it will. In classroom 4. The teacher this time is Mrs Aziz.Customer: Oh, I’ve met her. She seems well spoken and friendly. I’m looking forward to her class already.Saleswoman: Oh, we’ve had very positive feedback from students about her classes. May I ask if you have a few minutes to answer a few questions? We’re conducting a survey of our clients. It won’t take long, I promise.Customer: Oh, I’m not in a hurry. Go ahead.Saleswoman: The first question is about why you chose to study Arabic. I’ve got your answer to that one. How did you first hear about our school?Customer: Well, I saw a newspaper advertisement--Ithink it was in The Standard--and then I mentioned it in conversation with a friend who had studied French here and she said she was very happy with the course.Saleswoman: Oh, I see. What was your friend’s name?Customer: Mary Wright, with a ‘W’.Saleswoman: W R I G H T. Thank you. Do you think you would be interested in taking courses other than in Arabic?Customer: I doubt it. I need to speak a little French and German in my line of work, but I speak those languages to an acceptable level, so further improvement is unnecessary. I’ve always been interested in learning an Oriental language--like Chinese--but I don’t really need either, so...Saleswoman: What is important to you when selecting a school? Could you put these five items in order, please? One indicates the most important.Customer: Teachers is top of my list, for sure. Recommendations from others--yes, that’s next. Teaching materials? Mmm...no, location. Then admin staff. I think a good teacher can make use of even quite poor materials, so that would be the least important to me.Saleswoman: Any other important points that are not on the list?Customer: A welcoming reception area, ...er...group size--perhaps up to a dozen students. That’s a big attraction for me. It creates a better atmosphere--friendlier, more personal. You know what I mean?Saleswoman: Absolutely. Thank you very much for that. Here’s a complimentary English-Arabic pocket dictionary with our thanks.SECTION 1 Questions 1-10Questions 1-3Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR NUMBERS for each.1．How long will the customer’s course last?正确答案：4/four weeks2．Which course has the customer already taken at the school?正确答案：Arabic refresher (course)3．How much discount can returning students qualify for?正确答案：5%.Questions 4-6Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR NUMBERS for each.4．The customer’s address is ______ .正确答案：38 Temple Way5．The customer can contact his former teacher by ______ .正确答案：email6．There are ______ hours of classes each day, Monday to Friday.正确答案：4/fourQuestions 7-10Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.7．What is the customer’s impression of the female Arabic teacher?正确答案：well spoken, friendly8．What other languages can the customer speak?正确答案：French (and) German9．What does the customer decide is the third factor in choosing a school?正确答案：location10．What does the customer say the reception area should be like?正确答案：welcoming听力原文：Presenter: Welcome to this short--and you have my word, it will be short!--presentation on the conference and meeting facilities available at the Construction Education Centre. The Construction Education Centre is the established focal point for many major activities connected with building materials, construction, architecture and design--and even some activities outside those areas. For almost seventy years it has remained at the heart of the industry and today plays host to many important events, receiving over 100,000 visitors, trainees and delegates throughout the year. The Construction Education Centre provides the perfect venue for a wide range of business, educational and social functions including: conferences, seminars, meetings, special events, product launches and press events, exhibitions, presentations, lectures and training classes. Our team of experienced personnel is on hand to ensure your event runs smoothly and our aim is to remove the normal worries and concerns from function organisers so that events are both cost-effective and anxiety-free. Some our recent clients include Design for Homes, the Association of Building Engineers, Learn Direct, the London Housing Federation and even the College of Law. A full range of equipment is available for use, including a slide projector, which is available for half or whole days, video and monitor, 35mm carousel slide projector with infra red remote control and screen, flip charts and accessories, laser pointers and lecterns. Other audio-visual equipment can be provided as well as access to Broadband Internet services. Details are provided on request. My business card is attached to the brochures you’ve been given. Allow me to provide you with a brief introduction to our range of rooms. On this slide, you can see the main conference room. We call it the London Room. Spacious, isn’t it? This room has the advantage of central movable panels, making it an ideal venue for seminars of up to 140 people or receptions for upto 200. The suite may also be used for presentations. The room may be divided into three separate rooms if required. This slide shows you the Bloomsbury Room. It is also ideally suited for seminars and lectures. There is seating for 72 people or it can be used as a reception area for up to 100. Next, we have two rooms that are very similar. Indeed, we have given them virtually identical names. We call them Holborn 1 and Holborn 2. They are both suitable for small meetings, training classes and presentations. Hol-born 1 is slightly larger, capable of hosting 20-22 people, whilst Holborn 2 holds a maximum of 18 people. The Oxford Suite measures 12 by 6 metres and provides a more spacious and luxurious environment for executive meetings and presentations. As you can see, it is particularly elegant and well furnished. The Construction Education Centre also has an exhibition area, which is used by many clients when they hold a conference or meeting. This can be used as a way of informing delegates of your company or as a visual launch pad for your company or it’s products and services. Recently, we held an exhibition entitled “Sustainable London”from Friday 9th March until Saturday 28th April. Here are a few slides showing that exhibition. The “Sustainable London” exhibition presented the challenge, the response and progress towards a sustainable 21st century city. The exhibition featured over 60 different schemes from private houses to master plans and showed how local government, architects and engineers are employing technology to reduce environmental impact and address climate change. Here, we can see an example of a display of environmentally friendly technology by some of the leading brands in the field. I would also like to show you a few slides showing our educational activities. Here, you can see our vocational students assessing construction plans. We currently have about 120 students here at the CEC and we hope to increase that number to 150 over the next two years. We provide a wide range of essential mining for the people who will hold key positions in the construction industry of tomorrow. In this slide, you can see students at work on designing an environmentally friendly home. Their designs are later reviewed by experienced professionals and have led to changes in the way that such homes are designed. Finally, I’d like you draw your attention to this slide showing the location of the Construction Education Centre. As you can see, it is located in the heart of London’s East End in Story Lane, off Court Street. Limited metered parking is available outside the CEC, but there is a car park nearby in Russell Street. The nearest underground stations are Court Road and Russell Square. The Centre is also within walking distance from Queen’s Cross train station.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11-13Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND NUMBERS for each answer.11．The Construction Education Centre has existed for ______ .正确答案：almost seventy/70 years12．The CEC receives ______ visitors trainees and delegates each year.正确答案：over 10000013．Equipment is available for ______ days.正确答案：half And/or wholeQuestions 14-16Complete the following information about the various rooms available at the CEC.14．【14】正确答案：three/3 separate rooms15．【15】正确答案：20-2216．【16】正确答案：executive meetingsQuestions 17-20Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND NUMBERS for each answer.17．In which part of the CEC was the “Sustainable London” event held?正确答案：(in/the) exhibition area/part18．How many schemes were shown at the “Sustainable London” event?正确答案：over 6019．When does the CEC expect to have 150 students?正确答案：in two/2 years20．What is in Russell Street?正确答案：(a) car park听力原文：Mary: So, do you think taking a gap year between leaving school and beginning uni is worth it? I was just reading that it is estimated that at least 50000 young people here in Britain take one each year.David: I think it’s a good idea for some, but not for most.Kelly: Oh, David, I disagree.David: Well, Kelly, in the clamour to arrange a volunteer scheme placement or to book round-the-world plane tickets, how many school leavers-or their parents for that matter--stop to think about the true worth of taking a year out? Are gap years the life-changing, character-formingexperience their proponents claim them to be, or are they merely an excuse to waste time, burn money and delay the inevitable? How did the idea ever start anyway?Mary: It says here that originally they were common mainly among Oxford and Cambridge applicants, who were required to apply for a university place after already taking their A-levels. Once accepted, this gave them a further nine months to travel or to do with as they wished.Kelly: They are mostly a UK and Australian phenomenon In the US, the tendency is still to go to college straight after leaving school. In most other European countries, gap years are rare, partly because students will often take longer to complete their university courses and have more time during the academic year to take time off.Mary: Well, David says they might not be worth it, so is there any way we can measure the cost?Kelly: Well, the first thing to do is to assume that you will use the time available to travel abroad for a length of time, working for a period beforehand to save up the money necessary. Let’s see. Roughly speaking, you will probably need about ￡500 for the plane ticket, depending on where you go. Then you’ll need up to ￡200 for the specialist travel insurance, and anything up to~5000 to pay for the cost of internal travel in the countries you visit, plus food, accommodation and other sundries. Many gap-year travellers can make do with about ￡3000 in total, although this means living on a fairly tight budget.David: But then you need to add the above cost the foregone benefit of one year’s salary after graduation. For example, say your first job after leaving university were to pay ￡15000 to ￡20000 a year, that’s what you lose by taking a gap year.Kelly: Well, that’s not entirely fair. You can measure value through personal development as well as financially. A gap year tends to broaden young people’s horizons, helps them to mature and see things from a much wider perspective. It can motivate them to focus on their studies. Research shows that students are more likely to be satisfied with and complete their chosen course after taking a gap year. Many universities also say that they can tell the difference between those students who have taken gap years and those who have not, in terms of attitude, commitment and general insights that are less evident in those who come straight from school. These are all benefits that a person will carry with him or her well past university. Many employers are on record as saying that they welcome job applications from students whose CVs say they took a year off, either before going to university or, in some cases, after graduating. They too are aware of the greater maturity and broader potential vision of those who have used their time constructively and learned something about the world.David: That’s true. Employers want graduates who can work well in teams, think independently, communicate effectively and make informed decisions, all of which can be learned by taking a gap year. This potential to differentiate yourself from other applicants becomes all the more important at a time when up to 40% of young people are taking degrees, often graduating with good results. The key here is ensuring two things: that the time you have taken off is used constructively and that you make it clear in any job application what you have learned from your gap year and how it applies to the post you are applying for. Swarming on a beach in Australia is hardly likely to impress the average employer.Kelly: There is no doubt that if you can show a practical approach, for example by volunteering with a charity, you will gain browniepoints from many employers. But equally, any situation in which a young person has been required to learn new things, to act independently, to work for someone, to be able to mix with fellow travellers and people in the countries they are visiting, will be seen as a positive experience.Mary: It says here that academic research carried out for the Department for Education suggests that employers recognise they stand to benefit from new recruits who, to quote one HR director, have “been out of their comfort zones” and are thus more likely to have the flexibility and improvisation skills to deal with the demands of the graduate workplace.David: Again, I think that the key thing is to make sure that your employer is steered into appreciating whatever experiences you have gained during that gap year. Clearly, telling a prospective boss that your six months on a beach in Oz was “awesome”will put you at a disadvantage compared with another applicant who goes into great details about the business skills learned by working in a caf6 in the same location.SECTION 3 Questions 21-30Questions 21-23Choose the correct answer, A, B, C or D.21．David says that he thinks a gap year is unsuitable for ______.A．a few people.B．some people.C．the majority of people.D．almost all people.正确答案：C22．Gap years began because Oxford and Cambridge ______.A．demanded all students take one.B．demand all students take one.C．only considered applicants whose results were known.D．only consider applicants whose results are known.正确答案：C23．Gap years are popular in ______.A．the UK and Australia.B．the UK, Australia and the USA.C．the UK, Australia and most of Europe.D．developed countries.正确答案：AQuestions 24-27Choose the correct answer or answers, A, B, C or D.24．Students in most European countries ______.A．study 4-year courses at university.B．have longer courses than British students.C．have longer holidays than British students.D．have less chance to earn money during a gap year.正确答案：BC解析：请注意本题的题干，是要求选择出所有的正确答案。

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

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

Within the city of Bath it occupies modern buildings in a landscaped garden on Sion hill, Lansdown and an adjacent Georgian Crescent, Somerset Crescent, which includes teaching and residential accommodation for post-graduate studies. It also occupies three houses in Sydney Place, which are used for studio and workshop accommodation for part-time courses in the Visual Arts and for the Foundation Course in Art and Design.The Newton Park site is situated four miles west of Bath between the villages of Newton St Loe and Corston. Within the grounds are a Georgian mansion, where thecollege’s sentral administration is located, an Elizabethan dairy, stables and the tower of a medieval manor house; all these older buildings have been adapted to present-day use. A new purpose-built Home Economics block was opened in January 1985. During 1986 a new Sports Hall will be completed and new residential blocks are under construction to be completed ready for the start of the academic year in September 1986; a new music Block will be completed in 1987.The Art and Design degree courses which are currently accommodated at Corsham, about nine miles east of Bath, will be moved to the Sion Hill site in Bath by September 1986 thus reinforcing Faculty and Course links.The college courses are designed to take advantage of the special opportunities and circumstances provided by its environment. Students have available such resources as the Costume and Fashion Research Centre, the Royal Photographic Centre and the Museum of American Domestic Life at Claverton. Concerts and recitals, including some given by staff and students, take place throughout the year in the Assembly Rooms. The college uses buildings in five different places.

For more than Games were held, every four years, on hallowed ground near Mount Olympus, where the Greek gods were said to live.The ‘Olympics’ brought together men from war-torn tribes and states in Greece and its colonies. A sacred truce was declared to allow men to travel to the games in safety. Women could not take part and were forbidden, on pain of death, even to attend the Games.The ancient Olympics were abolished by the Roman Emperor Theodosius in 393 AD, after Greece had lost its independence. But the idea never died and the Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin, an educator and scholar, founded the modern Olympics,his aim was to bring together, once every four years, athletes from all countries on the friendly fields of amateur sport. No account was to be taken of national rivalries, nor politics, race, religion, wealth or social status.The first modern Games were held in Athens in 1896, and four years later, in Paris, women began to take part. Although the winter Olympics did not begin until 1924, figure skating was part of the 1908 London summer Olympics; both skating and ice hockey were included in the Antwerp Games in 1920. But generally winter sports were felt to be too specialized. Only cold weather countries had much experience of activities such as skiing-a means of transport overland across ice and snow during long winters.The Scandinavians, for whom skiing is a part of everyday life, had objected to a winter fames. They feared it would threaten their own Nordic Games, which had been held every four years since 1901. But the international Olympic Committee (IOC) agreed to stage an International Sports Week in Chamonix, France, in 1924.It was a success and the Scandinavians won 28 of the 43 medals, including nine golds. They dropped their objections and the event was retrospectively named the First Olympic Winter Games.Apart from the Second World War period the Winter Olympics were held every four years, a few months before the summer Olympics. But in 1986 the IOC changed the schedule so that the summer and winter games would be held in different years. Thus, for the only time in history, the Lillehammer (Norway) Games took place just two years after the previous Winter Olympics which were held in Albertville, France.Since the Winter Games began, 55 out of 56 gold medals in the men’s nordic skiing events have been won by competitors from Scandinavia or the former Soviet Union. For teams from warm weather countries, cross-country skiing can pose problems. At the Calgary Games in 1988, one competitor in the 50-kilometre event was so slow that race officials feared he was lost and sent out a search party. Roberto Alvarez of Mexico had never skied more than 20 kilometres before and finished 61st and last 52 minutes behind the 60th place.Questions 28-31Complete the table below.

雅思全真模拟试题第一套-听力原文

TEST 1 : SCRIP T SNARRATOR: You wi l l hear a number of different recordings and you wi l l have to answer questions on what you hear. There wi l l be ti m e for you to read the instructions and questions and you wi l l have a chance to check your work. All the recordings wi l l be played once only. The test is in four sections. At the end of the test you’ll be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.Now turn to Section 1.SECTION 1You’ll hear a swi m mi n g instructor talking to the father of one of his pupils. First, you’ll have some ti m e to look at questions 1-6.[20 seconds] You’ll see that there is an example whi c h has been done for you. On thi s occasion only, the conversation relating to thi s wi l l be played fi r st.DAVE: Hello. Is that Mr Henderson?BI LL: Yes, this is Bill Henderson speaking.DAVE: Hi, this is Dave Bush, your son’s swimming instructor.BI LL: Oh, hi. Jack’s made good progress since last term, hasn’t he?DAVID: Yes, but I want to talk to you about Jack’s swimming lessons for next term. NARRATOR: The instructor wants to discuss lessons for next term, so C is the correct answer.Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you li s ten because you wi l l not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6. DAVE: Hello. Is that Mr Henderson?BI LL: Yes, this is Bill Henderson speaking.DAVE: Hi, this is Dave Bush, your son’s swimming instructor.BI LL: Oh, hi. Jack’s made good progress since last term, hasn’t he?DAVID: Yes, but I want to talk to you about Jack’s swimming lessons for next term. BI LL: He’s very keen to continue.DAVE: Good. You know, Jack’s quite shy, and he has taken quite some time to settle in to the way we do things here; he also hasn’t performed that well as a competitive swimmer, but, I must say, he’s been an absolute ro l e mo d el for the otherchildren, especially the ones who have only just started swimming with us.BI LL: Glad to hear it.DAVE: Now, about next term’s lessons. I’m afraid we’ve had to change the day.BI LL: That’s a pity; Friday was good.DAVE: Yes, that’s what a lot of parents have said but we have to move to Monday –we would have preferred Tuesday but that’s not available - Monday is the only day on offer.BI LL: Why’s that?DAVE: Apparently, there has been such an increase in poo l usage on Friday evenings that they want our swimming lanes for the general public. The beginners’ class is not affected though, because they come at an earlier time and the class is so small it only uses one lane. However, Ja ck’s session has to move.BI LL: Oh dear. There’s a problem – we just can’t make it, I’m afraid. Jack has music lessons after school on that day and, as we have to travel out of town, we’dnever get back in time.DAVE: Well, Mr Henderson, as Jack obviously enjoys water sports, perhaps you could consider another activity on a more suitable day. What about diving? I knowthe diving instructor is looking for more students.BI LL: Oh no, Jack’s a timid boy and he thinks that’s a dangero u s spo r t.DAVE: Quite understandable – he is a nervous sort of boy. Have you considered water polo? It’s becoming more and more popular, especially among the boys.BI LL: I think it’s really excit i n g but it doesn’t appeal to Jack - maybe because of all the splashing and shouting. I think he really only wants to be a betterswimmer.DAVE: Oh, well, the competition class is what he needs then. He’d get one-on-one training from a private instructor who could help him a lot with his technique.And he could have a class at a time to suit you.BI LL: A private instructor, you say? Isn’t that a bit costly?DAVE: Yes, $35 a session. It’s well worth it though.BI LL: Oh, I agree. I think private lessons would be ideal and he’d build up a lot more confidence in the water, but i t’s not something we can affo r d right now. ……………………………………………………………………………………………NARRATOR: Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[20 seconds] Now li s ten and answer questions 7 to 10.DAVE: Well, I can think of one other option …BI LL: What’s that?DAVE: There’s a water safety class … I know that might sound a bit boring but actually the kids have a lot of fun and they learn a lot about being safe in andaround water – not just at the swimming pool but in the open sea also.Boating is such a popular activity in this country, but not many people knowhow to save themselves if there is an accident or they fall overboard. Watersafety classes are every Saturday morning from 9.15 to 11.15.BI LL: Well, th at’s a good time … but are you sure the children enjoy it?DAVE: Oh, yes. They learn to swim with their clothes on and things like that. It’s a great learning experience and they do have a lot of fun.BI LL: And the fees are the same as the swimming class? $150 per term?DAVE: Cheaper, actually; $115 for the whole term. We like to think of it as a public service. You know, helping to save lives.BI LL: Right then. When does the next course begin?DAVE: Saturday … the 12th of October.BI LL: Oh, we’ll be away until the 15t h. Would it matter if Jack missed the first class?DAVE: I don’t suppose so. Jack could start on the 19th of October. By the way, the instructor is new but he’s very well qualified and the children like him. Hisname is Peter, Peter Jenkins, that’s J-E-N-K-I-N-S.BI LL: Peter Jenkins… Great. We’ll see you at the pool next term.DAVE: Okay then. Bye.NARRATOR: That is the end of section 1. You now have half a minute to check your answers.[30 seconds]Now turn to section 2.SECTION 2You’ll hear tour guide talki n g about a visit to an island.First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.[20 seconds] Now li s ten carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.Good morning and welcome, everybody. I’m going to tell you a bit about what to expect when you visit Rangitoto Island tomorrow. It’s one of 47 islands in the Gulf Marine Park and day visitors are welcome but there are a number of things you should know.Firstly, getting there: The island is in fact a volcano and there isn’t anywhere for a plane to land so you’ll be goin g by sea. There is a regular ferry service (I’ll be handing out a timetable later) and I urge you to take note of the return times. Take care not to miss your ferry back as there is no overnight accommodation on the island and there is no alternative transport although it is hoped that next year we’ll have a water taxi operating.There’s a lot to see and do on the island but, as I said, there’s no accommodation. However, Motutapu, the neighbouring island has a basic campsite at Home Bay. Oh, and if you walk a bit further round the island, you’ll find there’s also an outdooreducation centre and a lodge at Administration Bay. Now, we’ll be getting off the ferry at the wharf and from there you can take a two and a half hour walk along the coast to McKenzie Bay. T h is is a great place to sit on the sandy beach and look out at the lighthouse. You could eat your picnic lunch there. We suggest that you carry on to the summit (allow an extra hour) and from there follow the track down to Islington Bay which is a very popular beach for swimming. From Islington Bay the road continues on over the causeway to Motutapu Island. At this point, however, I suggest you should allow another hour and 30 minutes to get back to Rangitoto wharf walking along a road originally built by prisoners. Keep an eye on the time – you don’t want to miss the last ferry back to the city! ………………………………………………………………………………………………NARRATOR: Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some ti m e to look at questions 16 to 20.[20 seconds] Now li s ten and answer questions 16 to 20.What do you need to bring? The overhead sun and the heat rays reflecting off the lava can be intense so you must have a sunhat and an effective sunscreen – a sun protection factor of 30 is the minimum you would consider on a sunny day. Remember, the island is a volcano, so you’ll be walking over very hard lava surfaces. You should wear sturdy walking shoes that can cope with the terrain. There’s no drinking water available on the island once you leave the wharf, so carry your own drink with you, and have an empty bottle so that you can get water from the fountain at the wharf. Although the Department of Conservation is trying to eradicate exotic plants and restore native vegetation, there is still one species of introduced plants to look out for – and that’s gorse. This low-growing shrub is covered in tho r ns which scratch you if you get too close. It might be a good idea to wear long trousers. Oh, and one other thing, if you’re feeling brave and want to investigate some of the many fascinating lava caves on the island, you’ll need a torch.I’m sure you’ll all enjoy your trip to Rangitoto Island, but I must warn you, you’ll need a rest day afterwards.NARRATOR: That is the end of section 2. You now have half a minute to check your answers.[30 seconds] Now turn to section 3.SECTION 3You’ll hear a tutor talking to a student, Daisy, who is making enqui r i e s about an Early Childhood Education course.First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.[20 seconds] Now li s ten carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.TUTOR: Hello, how can I help you?DAIS Y: I’d like to talk to someone about the Certificate in Early Childhood Education.TUTOR: I think I can probably help you – I taught on the course last year.DAIS Y: Oh, right. Well, my name’s Daisy Bell and I’d like to enrol in the certificate programme next year. Several friends have done it and they’ve all been able to get jobs straight away.TUTOR: It definitely opens the doors to employment. But first, let me ask you, do you like working with young children?DAIS Y: Oh, yes, I do. I’ve always enjoyed babysitting at the weekends.TUTOR: That’s good then.DAIS Y: Is there anything I could do to prepare for the course? It’s been a while since I left school. Could I get a head start with the reading, perhaps?TUTOR:Well, no, not really. The reading list hasn’t been finalized yet. But you could write a personal essay outlining your reasons for wanting to do the course. DAIS Y: I’ve done it already. My friends told me to expect that.TUTOR:Well then, I suggest you attend the library orientation day. They’ll take you all around the various sections of the library and expla i n how to check outbooks and things like that.DAIS Y: Good idea. When can I enrol?TUTOR:Well, as you’ll be enrolling in the programme for the first time, there are two available entry points next year. The important dates to remember are the fifth of February for Intake 1 and the fifteenth of July for Intake 2.DAIS Y: I want to start in February.TUTOR: W ell, get your application in as soon as possible then because if you miss the closure date, you’ll have to wait until the July intake.DAIS Y: My friends said they had to work during the course in a place like a nursery or child care centre.TUTOR:Yes, that is an entry requirement. You have to either volunteer or work one day per week – at least six hours of child contact time – in a licensed earlychildhood centre, for the duration of your studies. Now, if you’re under 20years of age …DAIS Y: I’m 19, but I turn 20 soon …TUTOR:Well, if you’re under 20 at enrolment you’ll need verified photocopies of your school examination results.DAIS Y: And if I’m 20 when I enrol …?TUTOR:Then you must provide evidence of your latest relevant studies or relevant experience with young children.DAIS Y: Oh, I see. How long is the course exactly?TUTOR:100 hours, but of course that’s spread out over 4 months or more, and if you take study break or holidays into account it probably works out to about 8hours of lectures per week.DAIS Y: I’m sure I can manage that. How do I enrol?TUTOR:I suggest you download an enrolment form from the internet, complete it and return it by post or in perso n before the cut-off date.DAIS Y: Thanks very much. I don’t think that’ll be a problem –I’ll get onto it straight away.TUTOR:Oh, and if you need more information, contact Trudy Tucker –she’s the Programme Leader –you’ll find a freephone number with her extension and her email address on the back of this brochure.DAIS Y: Okay. Thanks for your help. ……………………………………………………………………………………………NARRATOR: Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.[20 seconds] Now li s ten and answer questions 27 to 30.TUTOR: Oh, one more thing. Do you know about our Self Access Centre?DAIS Y: Ah, no.TUTOR:It’s a resource room here in J block with a collection of materials for students to study on their own.DAIS Y: Like a litt l e library?TUTOR:Sort of – but there’s a lot more than just books and instruction manuals. It’s well stocked with training resources in the way of DVDs and computer basedmaterials. You work through the materials in your own time at your own pace and you can go over any part of the coursework that you are n’t sure about. DAIS Y: Can anyone use it?TUTOR: W ell, anyone who has completed enrolment and has a student ID card. When you’ve done that, enrolled I mean, make sure you carry your card with you all the time. You can’t gain access to the centre without an ID card.DAIS Y: Is it free?TUTOR: Yes, but the materials have to remain in the centre. You can’t borrow them. DAIS Y: Is there anyone in the Centre to help me?TUTOR:Yes, the Centre Manager can help you locate appropriate resources but if you need help with the actual coursework the Centre also operates a P e er Tuto rScheme which is something that we started up a couple of years ago and it’sbeen really successful.DAIS Y: What is that exactly?TUTOR:It’s a scheme where older students help newer students. Several Diploma students will be on hand to help you with your Certificate studies.DAIS Y: So, they’ve already passed the Certificate course and they’re doing higher level study?TUTOR: That’s right.DAIS Y: Sounds good - I might need their assistance. Thanks very much.TUTOR: You’re welcome. Oh – and good luck with your studies.NARRATOR: That is the end of section 3. You now have half a minute to check your answers.[30 seconds] Now turn to section 4.SECTION 4You’ll hear a talk about an upcoming conference.First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[20 seconds] Now li s ten carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.Good morning. Thank you all for coming. This year’s Sustainable Agriculture conference will be held at the Centre for Continuing Education. T h e Centre was selected on account of the top class facilities available in its new, purpose-built Maiden Conference Complex. T h e Centre delivers about 40 conferences per year and provides an important platform for publiciz i n g research and advancing knowledge. So, another reason for holding the conference here is the team’s considerable expertise and services in event management. T h is is important because we are expecting large numbers of overseas visitors who will be coming to hear our international line-up of speakers; but more about them in a minute.T h is is a very significant conference for everyone – not just the academics who will be presenting papers, and you, the students, who are here to expand your knowledge in this area, but for the entire planet. Our survival in the future will require a plentiful, safe and sustainable supply of nutritious food.As I’ve already mentioned, we have an impressive array of speakers. The four most notable are: Dr Jake Jackson, who will speak on the profoundly damaging consequences of using chemical fertilizers. He has extensively researched the problems of chemical residue on the land and in the waterways and what he sees as irreversible damage to ecosystem health. Dr Jackson has published widely in his fie l d and I would encourage you to read some of his articles before the conference. He will be followed by Dr Susan Blake, who is an expert on organic horticulture, and has spent recent years following the mysterious decline of bee populations and how this affects the pollination of orchard crops in particular. The reduction in bee numbers is a fairly recent phenomenon and not yet fully understood but it has potentially devastating consequences.Professor Johansson will be delivering a lecture on biological agriculture and the importance of replenishing the soil with healthy micro-organisms. After listening to these talks on the biophysical aspects of sustainability, I’m sure you’ll all want to attend Dr Lilly’s talk. She is an economist whose topic is the socio-economic aspects of sustainable agriculture. She will talk about possible ways to sustain the economic viability of farm operations and how to enhance the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole.You will all have the opportunity to attend talks and workshops but we’re going to need volunteers to assist with certain features of the conference. Firstly, we’d appreciate some assistance at the registration table the day before the conference begins. If a dozen or so of you would volunteer, that’d be a great help. Actually, themore we have, the more smoothly the whole process should go and it won’t take so much time.T h en guides will be required on the first day of the conference to show people around or help them find the lecture theatres and seminar rooms. Our technical specialists, of course, will be recording the keynote speakers but we’ll need people to label and catalogue the various audio files. I’m hoping some of you will also want to participate in a debate on the ethics of using non-renewable energy during transportation of food to remote markets – a very hot topic. At the end of the conference we’ll want help with the collection and collation of papers and posters. If you can sign on as a volunteer, that will ensure the success of the conference. Thank you. NARRATOR: That is the end of section 4. You now have half a minute to check youranswers.[30 seconds] That is the end of the li s teni n g test. You now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the li s teni n g answer sheet.。

The answer lies in that plentiful by-product of the chicken farm, namely, chicken dung. An enterprising British company has proved that ‘green’solutions to the electric power needs of communities can be profitable. In fact, there are already three, yes three dung-fired power stations in use in Britain, which have attracted attention from other European countries and several projects in different places are already at the advanced planning stage. ‘We first believed that the only use for our dung was to make electricity,’ says the British company’s owner, ‘but after burning it for power, we are left with a residue rich in potash and phosphate, but nitrogen-free. This provides a far more marketable fertilizer which we can sell as well as the electricity we produce.’ In many countries, agricultural waste is seen more of a problem than industrial waste, polluting even the sea where rivers have carried nitrogen and other agricultural waste to estuaries and inshore waters. By burning dung and producing cheap electric power in the process, however, this company is solving two problems in one go.Complete the summary below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.Chickens and Electricity Dung is a【L1】______of the chicken farm.

And plans are being drawn up for a large version, big enough to carry 150 passengers and freight for 2,000 kilometres at over 300 kilometres per hour. Since the Hoverplane can carry a 50% greater payload than a similar sized aircraft, but with a 30% lower fuel consumption, and it needs neither special ports nor runways, the craft should be an attractive economic proposition for operators and promises to be a popular ferry in the 21st century.Sentence completion Complete the sentences below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.Hoverplane17．The Hoverplane will be able to travel at a maximum speed of______per hour.正确答案：250 kilometres18．The craft is efficient, because it uses______of the normal fuel of a ferry.正确答案：one fifth/ 1/519．The larger planned version will be able to carry______ and freight at 300 kilometres an hour.正确答案：150 passengers。

First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Man: ‘Holidays for You’. Sean speaking. Can I help you?Woman: Oh hi. I’ve been looking at your website. Um, I’m interested in a cycling holiday in Austria in April.Man: Ah! We have two trips in April - one lasts fourteen days and the other ten days.Woman: Mm ... I think the(Example)10-day trip is better. So let’s see. I’ve got a calendar here. What are the dates?The length of the trip that the woman chooses is 10 days, so ‘10’has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.[repeat]Man: Well, that trip is in the middle of the month.(1)It starts on the 17th of April and it finishes on the 27th.Woman: That suits me. I can’t leave work before the 10th of April.Man: Let me see if there are any spaces. Is it just for yourself?Woman: Myself and my sister - so two of us.Man: Um, yes. We have spaces.Woman: Is it a big group?Man: At the moment there are 12 people booked on this trip and with you two that will be 14.(2)The maximum number is 16 so it’s almost fully booked. We can’t go over that because it’s hard to keep a larger group together.Woman: I need to check that I’m fit enough for this but the distances look OK. The website says(3)we’ll ride approximately 45km a day. Is that right?Man: That’s correct and I’ve got the exact distances here. It really depends on which part of the trip. Some days are only 35km and some are more. But you’ll never have to cycle more than 50km in one day.Woman: Oh, OK. I can manage that. And we stay in hotels?Man: Yes. They all have restaurants and the rooms have en-suite facilities.Woman: And do they have pools? It’s how I relax after a long day.Man: There is a(4)swimming pool in a few of the hotels but none of them has a gym.Woman: I don’t think we’ll need a gym after all that cycling! I’d better find out how much the holiday costs before I get too excited.Man: Including flights it’s ￡1,177 for one person.Woman: Oh, we’ll book our own flights on the Internet.Man: Ah, that’s just ￡(5)1.013 then. And we can book insurance for you if you want.Woman: Mm ... and which meals are included in that price?Man: Well, er, breakfast of course. And the hotels will provide you with a packed lunch each day. We do stop during the afternoon in a village somewhere for a rest, so(6)any snacks you buy then are extra. Then dinner will be in the hotel every evening and that’s included in the price of the holiday.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen andanswer questions 7 to 10.Woman: And you provide the bicycles of course. What else?Man: A lock and a bell come with the bike as well as lights, although you shouldn’t need to cycle in the dark. There’s a small bag, or pannier, on the front of the bike, where you can put the things you want to take with you during the day like water or fruit.(7)But we won’t allow you to cycle unless you bring a helmet. We don’t provide these locally because, like walking boots on a walking holiday, it’s really important it fits properly.Woman: OK.Man: If there’s any special gear you need for your holiday, we recommend a particular website and you can get a discount by quoting your booking reference.Woman: Great. What is it?Man: It’s . That’s all one word, and I’ll spell it for you: www dot(8)B-A double L-A-N-T-Y-N-E dot com.Woman: Good. I’ve got that down. I’ve been looking at your website while we’ve been talking. I see we cycle along the river Danube?Man: Yes, it’s one of Europe’s most well-known areas for cycling.Woman: It looks fascinating - lots of beautiful countryside and things to see.Man: I should warn you that we do reserve the right to make some alterations to the(9)route if the weather is bad. Some of the tracks sometimes get very muddy.Woman: OK. Well, hopefully it won’t rain too much! I know we stop in towns and villages but do we get a chance to look around? Because I’m really interested in history.Man: Oh yes, you get opportunities to explore. Is there something in particular you want to see?Woman: There’s a(10)theatre in a town called Grein. A friend of mine went there last year and said it was amazing.Man: Let’s see. Urn, ah yes, there’s a guide who’ll take you round the building. We don’t have any other tours arranged but you can visit several castles and museums on the holiday.Woman: Well, thank you for all that information. I’d like to book that then.Man: Right. Well, I’ll just...Cycling holiday in AustriaExample AnswerMost suitable holiday lasts __10__days.Holiday begins on【L1】______No more than【L2】______people in cycling group.Each day, group cycles【L3】______on average.Some of the hotels have a【L4】______Holiday costs【L5】￡______per person without flights.All food included except【L6】______Essential to bring a【L7】______Discount possible on equipment at www.【L8】______comPossible that the【L9】______may change.Guided tour of a【L10】______is arranged.1．【L1】正确答案：17th April /17 April / April 17解析：Distraction 27th April and 10th April. They are wrong because the man says that the trip ‘finishes’ on 27th April and the woman says she ‘can’t leave work before the 10th of April’.2．【L2】正确答案：16/sixteen解析：Distraction The man mentions ‘12’ and ‘14’. 12 is wrong because that isthe number of people booked on the trip ‘at the moment’; 14 is wrong because that will be the number with the woman and her sister. Neither is the maximum possible number. The woman asks, ‘Is it a big group?’; ‘the maximum number[= no more than]’.3．【L3】正确答案：45 km / forty-five km / kilometres / kilometers解析：Distraction The man mentions ‘35 km’ and ‘50 km’. The shortest distance is 35 km and the longest distance is 50 km but neither is the ‘average’. ‘distances’tells you that you will soon hear the answer; ‘approximately ... a day[= on average]’.4．【L4】正确答案：(swimming)pool解析：Distraction ‘restaurants’ and ‘en-suite facilities’ are mentioned but the man says ‘all’the hotels(not just ‘some’)have these; ‘gym’is wrong because ‘none of them’ has one.5．【L5】正确答案：1013解析：Distraction 1,177 is wrong because this price includes flights.6．【L6】正确答案：snacks解析：Distraction ‘breakfast’, ‘packed lunch’ and ‘dinner’ are all mentioned but these are included in the price.7．【L7】正确答案：(cycle)helmet解析：Distraction ‘lock’, ‘bell’, ‘lights’, ‘small bag’and ‘pannier’are all mentioned but they ‘come with the bike’ so you don’t need to bring them. You know that the answer is coming when after listing what the holiday company provides, the man says ‘But we won’t allow you to cycle unless you bring ...’.8．【L8】正确答案：ballantyne解析：(you can write this in small or capital letters)9．【L9】正确答案：route解析：[alterations = changes] Distraction ‘tracks’get muddy but they don’t change.10．【L10】正确答案：theatre / theater解析：’a guide who’ll take you round[= guided tour]’. Distraction ‘castles and museums’ are visited but there aren’t any other tours.听力原文：You will hear someone talking on the radio about food and restaurants in the local area. First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 11 to 14.Announcer: And now we have our ‘Know your town’ section Where we look at what’s on offer in our area. Today John Munroe is going to tell us about local food and eating out. John.John: Well, most of us buy our food in supermarkets these days but we’re very lucky having a wonderful market here. It was originally on the piece of land in front of the cathedral but at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river.(11)When the new shopping centre was built in the 1960s, it found a home beneath the multi-storey car park where it still is. but there are plans to move it back to its previous home by the river.The market is now open six days a week. On Tuesday to Saturday you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area, as well as a whole range of imported produce.(12)But if you come on a Sunday, you’ll find a different market, where craftspeople sell what they have made - things like bags, cards, clothes. During the week there are a few stalls selling more everyday utensils like saucepans and cleaning products alongside the fruit and vegetables - as well as one new stall selling antique furniture which is proving to be very popular.People often ask what our local dish is. As we’re by the sea, they expect it to be some kind of fish recipe. Our fish is good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out.(13)What we do have is an apple cake that isn’t really made anywhere else. There’s a new cafe in the High Street: Barton’s, which bakes them fresh every morning and serves them with delicious home-made ice cream in a choice of flavours.Now, the harbour is obviously the place to buy fresh fish. Every morning there’s a stall where local fishermen sell a selection of the day’s catch before the rest goes to London or abroad. They’ve been doing that for as long as anyone can remember of course, but the harbour itself looks very different from a few years ago.(14)Most of the restaurants used to be at the far end, but that part was redeveloped and the restaurants had to relocate to the other end. Many of them are simply the old ones in new premises but a couple of new ones have opened recently so there’s a good range now both in the harbour and the town itself. I’m now going to give you my ‘Top Six Places to Eat’ in different parts of the town.Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.So Number 1 for me isMerrivales, which is in one of the busiest parts of the town leading down to the harbour. It’s in a side street so it doesn’t look out over the water but it’s very close, so you can take a walk after your meal and find one of the cafes with live music. At Merrivales you can enjoy delicious fresh fish and seafood.(15)The friendly staff offer very attentive service and a really enjoyable evening.The Lobster Pot is on the main road going down to the harbour so it also misses out on the sea view, but the food makes up for that.(16)It serves a huge range of fish and seafood as well as vegetarian and meat dishes so there’s something for everyone. Prices are from mid-range to fairly expensive so it’s really only for a special occasion.Elliots is in the city centre and is a very upmarket restaurant in the evening but during the day it serves lunch and coffee.(17)It’s on the twentieth floor above some offices and it’s a great place to sit for a while as you can see most of the city spread out from there. It does get very busy though and you may have to wait to be served.Not far from the city centre is The Cabin which is on the canal bank. You can’t park your car there - it’s a fifteen-minute walk from the nearest car park - but(18)it’s very peaceful, a good place to relax away from the traffic. It’s not cheap but it’s an ideal place for a long lunch.The Olive Tree is a family-run restaurant in the city centre offering beautifully prepared Greek dishes. It’s well known locally and very popular. Service can be slow when it’s busy as all the food is freshly made. There’s plenty of room and on Friday and Saturday nights,(19)the wooden floors resound with live music and dancing which is certainly worth going for.The last place I want to recommend has only just opened in a converted school building. The Old School Restaurant has been very cleverly renovated.(20)The use of mirrors, plants and the colours on the walls makes you feel as though you’re in a large garden instead of the city centre. There are only a few dishes on the menu but they change every day.So Tanya, I...11．The market is now situatedA．under a car park.B．beside the cathedral.C．near the river.正确答案：A解析：Distraction B: ‘It was originally ... in front of the cathedral’ but later ‘it was moved’. It was never ‘beside’ the cathedral; C: ‘at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river’ but John goes on to say it found another ‘home’‘in the 1960s’. Although ‘there are plans to move[the market]back ...’ these are for some time in the future, not now.12．On only one day a week the market sellsA．antique furniture.B．local produce.C．hand-made items.正确答案：C解析：Distraction A: Antique furniture is sold on ‘one new stall’, not ‘on onlyone day’; B: Local produce[= ‘fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area’]is sold from ‘Tuesday to Saturday’.13．The area is well known forA．ice cream.B．a cake.C．a fish dish.正确答案：B解析：Distraction A: Ice cream is served with the cake in one cafe but the area isn’t famous for the ice cream; C: John says ‘Our fish is good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out’.14．What change has taken place in the harbour area?A．Fish can now be bought from the fishermen.B．The restaurants have moved to a different part.C．There are fewer restaurants than there used to be.正确答案：B解析：Distraction A: Fish can be bought from the fishermen but this isn’t a change(‘They’ve been doing that for as long as anyone can remember ...’); C: There are more restaurants(‘a couple of new ones have opened recently’)not fewer.Which advantage is mentioned for each of the following restaurants?Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-H, next to questions 15-20.AdvantagesA the decorationB easy parkingC entertainmentD excellent serviceE good valueF good viewsG quiet locationH wide menu15．Merrivales ______正确答案：D解析：Distraction C: The entertainment is in ‘one of the cafes with live music’ in the area. Distraction F: ‘it doesn’t look out over the water’, so it doesn’t have good views. Distraction G: It is in ‘one of the busiest parts of the town’, so it isn’t a quiet location. Distraction H: It doesn’t have a wide menu - John just mentions ‘delicious fresh fish and seafood’.16．The Lobster Pot ______正确答案：H解析：Distraction E: It’s not good value because prices ‘are from mid-range to fairly expensive’. Distraction F: ‘it also misses out on the sea view’. Distraction G: It ‘is on the main road’ so it isn’t in a ‘quiet location’.17．Elliots ______正确答案：F解析：Distraction G: John says it ‘is in the city centre’so it’s not in a ‘quiet location’. Distraction D: ‘you may have to wait to be served’so the service isn’t ‘excellent’.18．The Cabin ______正确答案：G解析：Distraction B: John says ‘You can’t park your car there ...’; E: ‘It’s not cheap’.19．The Olive Tree ______正确答案：C解析：Distraction H: It serves ‘beautifully prepared Greek dishes’ so it doesn’t have a ‘wide menu’; D: ‘Service can be slow’ so it’s not ‘excellent’.20．The Old School Restaurant ______正确答案：A解析：Distraction H: ‘There are only a few dishes on the menu’.听力原文：You will hear three students on a media studies course talking about a film they are planning to make. First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.Reza: Hi Mike.Mike: Hi Reza, this is Helen.Helen: Hello!Mike: We’re really pleased you’ve agreed to join us on this film project.Helen: Yes, your experience is going to be so useful.Reza: Well, I hope so. It’s the technical side I know best - lighting, sound and stuff.Mike: But you think the script is OK?Reza: Yes, I think it’s great! Um, have you decided where you’re going to shoot?Helen: Well, there’s the water-mill scene at the end. And we’ve thought about some locations in town we can use. They’re behind the shopping mall and on a couple of residential streets. And in an empty shop on campus. It means we don’t have to worry about getting permission from a shopowner.Mike: So(21)do you think we should go to all the locations with you?Reza: It would be a good idea. We need to talk about the levels of background noise so we know they’re all going to be reasonable places to film.Mike: But the sounds of traffic will make it more natural.Helen: I think Reza means things like aeroplanes, trains and so on that would mean we have to stop filming.Reza: Exactly. And also I’ll make notes for myself about what lighting I’m going to need. I think the university department has a good range of equipment, but I’ll need to make a list for each location for my own reference. Anyway, once we’ve had a look round,(22)youcan do the roadworks check.Mike: What do you mean?Reza: You need to find out about building work or roadworks. Because you could start filming one day and come back in the morning to find one of the roads has been dug up! The local council have to be informed about things like that so you can find out from them.Mike: OK. Then I think we need to work from the script and put together a list of all the scenes and decide which ones we’re going to film when. We need to(23)prepare the shooting schedule, day by day.Reza: You’re right. Then when you know how long filming is going to last, you can tell everyone when they’re needed.Helen: OK, so as soon as we can, we’ll audition, and then when we contact people to offer them parts we can send the exact dates and(24)make really sure they are free. Because often the actors are all enthusiastic but then when you try to pin them down about whether they’re really free at that time, you find they’ve got exams or something, or they’re off to a festival just before and you have to rush about looking for replacements.Mike: Then, we need people who can take over the main parts if one of our stars falls ill or something.Reza: Yes, I agree. So offer the main parts to the people we really want, and then look at other volunteers who were OK.Helen:(25)Yes. We can select the understudies once the main roles have been confirmed. So, once we’ve got that sorted and we’ve held all the rehearsals of the main scenes, we’ll be ready to start filming.Reza: Yes, that sounds good. Anything else?Mike: Er, well, just housekeeping, really. We don’t actually need costumes because actors will wear their own clothes.(26)My family has agreed to lend us some pieces of furniture which we need, so we’ll go and fetch those the weekend before we start.Helen: We’ll provide food and drink during shooting so I’m going to borrow some cool-boxes.Mike: And I’ve got a little van. Most of the locations are within walking distance of the halls of residence anyway. The only one further away is the water-mill.Reza: Ah, yes, can you tell me about that?Mike: Um, OK. Er, hang on a minute, I’ll get my notes. There’s a plan in them.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.Mike: Here’s the mill. You see, basically you have a vertical water-wheel which was used to power the grinding stones.Reza: Mm, it sounds really interesting. Will we film inside?Helen: Yes. That’s where the final scene between the girl and the man takes place. Our plan is to(27)fix one camera outside bv the window next to the door, to film through the window, and then have another handheld camera inside the mill. That means we can get two views of the same scene. We were going to do something using a mirror, but we decided that would be too complicated.Mike: Yes, by doing it that way,(28)all we’ll need is lights on the inside, next to the wall behind the wheel which can shine across to the opposite wall.Reza: Hmm. Will that give enough light?Helen: I think so, because the scene is in the evening; it shouldn’t be too bright. The actors will be carrying torches too.Mike: And(29)we’ll have an old screen made of wood just inside the door, because it’s a new door and it’ll look wrong. The lights won’t shine directly on it so it’ll be fine.Reza: So you won’t actually show the door open?Mike: No.(30)There’s a huge box on the floor against the wall farthest from the wheel. We’ll see the girl approaching the mill on her bike. Then we see through the window and the man is inside looking at it, then the next shot is the girl, in the room with him,opening the box.Reza: So it’ll be a mysterious ending! Well, I think it’s going to be a great project.Mike: Good.Helen: Thanks!Complete the flow-chart below.Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-l, next to questions 21-26.A actorsB furnitureC background noiseD costumesE local councilF equipmentG shooting scheduleH understudiesI shopowners 21．正确答案：C解析：Distraction ‘equipment’ is wrong because Reza says ‘I’ll make notes for myself about what lighting I’m going to need ... a good range of equipment, but I’ll need to make a list for each location for my own reference’(he will decide on the lighting equipment himself so they won’t discuss it).22．正确答案：E解析：The word ‘roadworks’ tells you when to listen for the answer to 22 but it does not come immediately.23．正确答案：G24．正确答案：A25．正确答案：H解析：The meaning of ‘understudies’ is given before you hear the word.26．正确答案：B解析：Distraction Mike mentions ‘costumes’ but points out they ‘don’t actually need’ any.Choose four answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-G, next to questions 27-30.A lightsB fixed cameraC mirrorD torchesE wooden screenF bikeG large box27．正确答案：B解析：It’s outside the mill, by the window. Distraction Helen mentions a mirror but says they decided not to use it.28．正确答案：A解析：They are on the inside, next to the wall behind the wheel. Distraction Helen mentions torches but says the actors will be carrying them.29．正确答案：E解析：[wooden = made of wood] Distraction Mike says the lights won’t shine directly on the screen.30．正确答案：G解析：[huge = large] Distraction Mike mentions the bike, but he is referring to how the girl arrives at the mill.听力原文：You will hear part of a lecture about exotic pests given as the introduction to a course on ecology and environment. First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[Pause the recording for one minute.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.Lecturer: Good afternoon. I want this afternoon as an introduction to our ecology module to offer examples of exotic pests - non-native animals or plants which are, or may be, causing problems - which might prove a fruitful topic for seminar papers later in the term. People and products are criss-crossing the world as never before, and on these new global highways, plants and animals are travelling too.Exotic plants and animals are turning up in Antarctica and on the most remote islands on Earth. For example, the Australian red-backed spider - it’s made its way to countries fairly near home, such as New Zealand and Japan, as some of you may know - well, it’s also been found on Tristan da Cunha,(31)which is a remote island, thousands of miles from anywhere, way out in the middle of the Atlantic.Now, another famous animal invader in the other direction, so to speak, from England to Australia in the southern hemisphere, is the rabbit. This was in 1830 and it might seem less of a threat, but it became an extraordinarily destructive pest. The fact that rabbits increased so rapidly is perhaps more understandable when we remind ourselves that they had originally been introduced to England from continental Europe eight centuries earlier.(32)This was because theywere regarded as a luxury food source, and in spite of having warm fur, they probably originated on the hot dry plains of Spain, which of course explains why they thrive in the climate of Australia.A much less cuddly example of a pest introduced to Australia, this time from America, is fire ants. These are increasing and spreading very fast.(33)Their huge nests can now be found in gardens in the city of Brisbane and they are costing the Australian government a great deal of money in control measures. These were an accidental introduction, rather than a deliberate one, brought to Australia, probably in horticultural imports or in mud on second-hand machinery.As a biologist and conservationist, I have become increasingly concerned about these matters. Exotic invasions are irreversible and deserve to be taken more seriously even when they aren’t particularly damaging. For example, something that is not necessarily a major disaster compared to other ecological experiments:(34)in 1975 an Australian species of earthworm was deliberately introduced to the northern hemisphere, in Scotland, because they were bigger than the natives.(35)The aim was that they would be more effective than native species, but in fact they don’t do more for the soil condition than the smaller locals which they displace. Although they don’t do a lot of harm, as far as we know up to now, this will probably prove to have been a mistake.A much more serious case, also in Scotland, as well as other countries, along with the latest victim, Iceland, is the New Zealand flatworm. This is a most unwelcome newcomer in these regions of (36)north-west Europe. Basically, this flatworm came into these countries by accident. It’s now been realised that it was actually (37)carried in the plant pots containing exotic ornamental shrubs and so on, and as it eats local earthworms, and doesn’t benefit the local ecology in any way, it is a real pest.Next, there’s a further instance, this time in the water and it’s come from Japan. It’s(38)a delicious but very fast-spreading seaweed and is one of many exotic species, large and small, in the seas covering the rocks around Australia. Unfortunately, it is replacing indigenous seaweeds and permanently altering the ecosystem. However, to look at the situation from a business point of view - it is now being harvested and exported, dried, back to Japan, its original home, where it’s particularly popular. So sometimes we may find accidental benefits from apparently harmful arrivals.Well, you could say that world ecology is now going the same way as popular culture. Global music and fashions, food and drinks are taking over from local ones in every land. And in ecosystems, we find vigorous exotic invaders overwhelming native species and natural habitats.But can we find any examples of invaders which appear to be a problem and then find that in fact they may not be such a big issue after all? We might take as an example a native of Australia, the budgerigar, the most common pet parrot in the world, of course. Because there have been many escapes over the years, it is now to be found flying about in feral flocks where the climate suits it. So, these flocks of budgerigars have been getting very numerous(39)in the south-east of the United States, particularly in residential areas. People have been getting quite worried about this, but it has been observed that the size of the flocks has diminished somewhat recently. The fact that they are smaller is thought to be(40)due to the fact that new competitors for their habitat have arrived from other places.That’s the last example for now. What I’d like you to consider isthis: Is the planet Earth moving towards a one-world ecosystem? How far would it be a wholly bad development?Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.31．正确答案：(the)Atlantic(Ocean)32．正确答案：(luxury)food(source)解析：Distraction Rabbits’‘fur’ is mentioned but there is no suggestion they were imported for the fur to be ‘used for’ something.33．正确答案：(in)gardens解析：Distraction ‘nests’ are what the ants make, not their ‘habitat’(which is what this column is about).34．正确答案：earthworm / earth worm35．正确答案：soil(condition)解析：Distraction ‘natives’, ‘native species’ and ‘locals’ are all mentioned but the pests ‘displace’ these, they do not improve them.36．正确答案：North(-)west / north(-)west解析：Distraction ‘Scotland’ and ‘Iceland’ are mentioned, but they are names of countries so they cannot be the adjective in front of ‘Europe’.37．正确答案：plant pots解析：Distraction ‘ornamental shrubs’ are mentioned but the flatworms came in the earth in the pots, not the plants.。

The one I havechosen to tall to you about today is what I consider our best tour—it will take you from coast to mountain and back again. You’ll spend a memorable and very comfortable day traveling in air-conditioned luxury. You’ll see from our brochure that we have four pick-up stops along the coast and, about twenty minutes after we pick up our last passenger for the day, we’ll be stopping off briefly at a magnificent housing development, marina and shopping complex—you’ll be able to admire some of the most expensive and lavish houses on the coast—and here we’ll take a quick walk around the waterfront. Now, despite its name, Hope Island, we can reach it without getting our feet wet or taking a boat ride. Hope Island is connected to the mainland by bridges. From there we head inland to the beautiful Tambourine Mountain. You’ll have time to browse in the many specialty shops or you can sit and relax at a friendly outdoor café. We board the bus again and pass through an old timber-milling town on our way to O’Reilly’s Green Mountains. Once there, you might wish to venture across the famous tree top walk which is a bridge suspended in the canopy of a rain forest—definitely not for the faint-hearted! If you’re not up to the excitement of this walk, or perhaps after you’ve done it, why not enjoy lunch on the balcony of O’Reilly’s restaurant? Before we leave, you’ll have time for a stroll through the Botanical Gardens or perhaps you’d like to feed the beautiful parrots and other birds—we’ll supply the birdseed. From O’Reilly’s we travel to an alpaca farm for a demonstration and of course there’ll be a photo opportunity for you with these gorgeous animals before returning to the coach for the journey back to your original departure point.11．The coach is comfortable because it is ______.正确答案：air-conditioned12．After all passengers are aboard, the coach will make its first stop at ______ Island.正确答案：Hope13．The ‘Tree Top Walk’ is above a ______.正确答案：rain forest14．Passengers will have a ______ with the alpacas before boarding the bus for home.正确答案：photo opportunity听力原文：If I’ve persuaded any of you to sign up for this tour, take a look at our Dreamtime Tours brochure. You’ll see that you can book over the telephone or you can make reservations through the reception desk. We generally have a member ofstaff manning the desk from 7.30 am to 9 pm every day of the week. Don’t hesitate to ask reception staff any questions that you might have about this tour, or any other tour, and be sure to make it known if you have any special needs. We’ll do our best to make your trip rewarding and worthwhile. If this is the tour you want, be sure to specify Green Mountain Tour and note that these excursions are full day tours on three days of the week only: Sunday, Monday and Frida~although we’re hoping to have a Saturday tour available by next year. You’ll see that fares are extremely reasonable with each adult paying just 37 dollars. Now, that’s not bad for a trip of around 280 kilometers, is it? If you want to bring the family, obviously the family pass is great value at 94 dollars—that includes two adults and two children--but if you are an older adult, over 65, in other words, a senior citizen, your fare is discounted too—you’ll pay a bit less than the full adult rate. Please note the departure times—we adhere to these strictly—the coach will leave the southern most point of Coolangatta at ten to eight sharp, travel through Burleigh and on to Surfers Paradise, which is our most popular pick-up point, departing from there at half past eight in the morning. At a quarter to nine we make our last pick-up at Labrador. May I remind you to dress appropriately for the day—ladies, no high heels, please. Comfortable walking shoes are what is required and I always recommend that everyone takes a light jacket because the mountain air can be quite cool compared to the heat and humidity of the coastal regions. Oh, something else I should remind you of—the prices quoted in the brochure are just for coach travel, although we can arrange for a mini-bus to collect you from your accommodation and bring you to the departure point free of charge. If you want to avail yourself of this service, be sure to let the booking clerk know. You will need to bring along extra cash or a credit card to cover expenses such as optional side-trips, food and drink and, of course, entrance fees to the various attractions. Well, that’s all I have time to tell you—if you have further enquiries, please use the phone number on the brochure.15．正确答案：reception desk16．正确答案：Green Mountain17．正确答案：senior citizen18．正确答案：8.30am19．正确答案：coach travel20．正确答案：entrance fees听力原文：LIAISON: Come in and sit down, Lester...Sharon. I can see you’re keen to know more. To start with, I’d just like to say that we value volunteers highly and recognize their importance and assistance in the provision of quality education.LESTER: Thank you...we’re looking forward to helping out, but what exactly can we do?LIAISON: V olunteers can undertake a range of tasks...in general they enrich the English language programmed and complement the contributions of salaried staff members...SHARON: Yes, but...what would we do specifically?LIAISON: Oh, a variety of tasks, for instance, you can tutor individual students in reading...LESTER: I thought that might be the case...LIAISON: But...you can also help students edit their written responses.LESTER: Great...Is that also a one-on-one activity?LIAISON: Oh, yes, definitely; but volunteers are also called on to assist in designated classes...SHARON: And, what exactly would we do there?LIAISON: Well, it depends on the class of course, but usually you take on the role of an assistant.LESTER: A teacher’s assistant?LIAISON: Yes, that’s it.SHARON: Sounds like fun and good preparation for our own careers.LIAISON: Then, an enormous area of assistance is developing students’organizational skills.LESTER: Yes, I can imagine that’s why some of them are struggling in the first place.LIAISON: There’s also the special needs unit. They always need volunteers there.SHARON: But we have no training in special needs.LIAISON: That’s not necessary. These students just really appreciate having any extra attention—sometimes help with the simplest things...like holding a pen correctly.LESTER: Ah...well, that’s something all able-bodied students should learn. I’ve noticed some of the strangest pen grips amongst my peers and I’m sure they must end up with sore hand or shoulder muscles at the end of the day.LIAISON: Yes. I’m sure you’re right. The other task I’d like you two to help out with is encouraging and improving the students’ work ethic.SHARON: Oh, I can’t imagine that’ll be easy!LIAISON: No, but it is important, and I can give you some training in that field.LESTER: That’ll be good.LIAISON: I should also point out that you’ll be working alongside quality teachers at times who are not only caring role-models but excellent motivators.SHARON: Well, we should learn a lot from them.LIAISON: Yes, the teachers you’ll be assigned to are innovative and very responsive to the different needs of individual students.LESTER: If that’s true, they must be adept at a variety of teaching styles.LIAISON: Quite right. You know, part of my mission is to forge close partnerships between experienced teachers and trainees like yourselves. As far as I can see everyone has something to gain from the exchangeof information and skills--not just the students you’re helping.21．According to the liaison officer, what do volunteers help provide?正确答案：quality education22．What can volunteers help students check and correct?正确答案：written responses23．What aspect of students’ self-management can volunteers assist greatly with improving?正确答案：organisational skills24．What will volunteers try to develop in the students so that they exert themselves more?正确答案：work ethic25．What is it that teachers have that allows them to respond to individual student requirements? Many different ______.正确答案：teaching styles听力原文：LIAISON: There are a number of interesting developments going on at the moment and I’ve chosen you two because of your varied academic backgrounds...now, you, Sharon...SHARON: I majored in business studies before I came to teachers’ training college.LIAISON: Yes, exactly.LESTER: Well, I’ve always been more interested in science, marine biology, in particular.LIAISON: Yes, I think it’s quite exciting. The school you’re going to assist at is augmenting the number of vocational learning experiences offered within its subjects. Educational philosophy these days seems to recognize the importance of increasing practical components in the curriculum. Areas of development being pursued include building and construction, agriculture, business education and hospitality; but the marine studies course is already well developed.LESTER: Oh, now I see where we fit in.LIAISON: You’ll find that the school has an excellent library and audio visual collection. There are 3 computer laboratories and a special-needs network with 6 stations.LESTER: Ah...they are well equipped.LIAISON: Mum...wait till you see their Independent Learning Centre.LESTER: What’s so special about their ILC?LIAISON: They have the most sophisticated self-learning software I’ve ever seen in this region of the country.LESTER: Really?LIAISON: Ah huh. And there’s a wide number of extra-curricular activities, an extensive sporting programmed...LESTER: Oh, sport—not my thing at all...LIAISON: Well, no, maybe not, but they also promote students’participation in different scholastic competitions.LESTER: I’m impressed—I think we’re going to enjoy this.Choose your answers from the box and write the letters A-H next to questions 26-30.

Anxiety is something you’ve all experienced at some time in your life so you’ll know that it’s an emotional condition in which feelings of dread, fear and mental agitation predominate. However, what we call an anxiety state, or anxiety neurosis or phobic state—they all mean the same thing—is characterized by anxiety reactions far greater than those normally expected for the circumstances and these reactions may be severe and prolonged. This is the most common form of neurosis in westernized countries. Usually, normal anxietydecreases with repeated exposure to the feared situation whereas a neurotic anxiety tends to increase. Gradually the person is inclined to avoid the feared situation and views it with increasing dread. Sometimes there may be an inherited tendency for this, but usually environmental issues are more important. The individual may have been a worrier throughout life and a stressful condition, just before symptoms set in, is common. Often there is a gradual build-up of anxiety, possibly for weeks or months, before the ultimate break occurs. The precipitating cause is usually one of great significance to the patient, often related to personal events—such as bereavement, a break-up, threats to career, health or personal integrity. What are the symptoms of phobia? Well, phobic states often develop into severe, crippling challenges that can be very difficult to overcome. The person develops a fear of certain situations. It’s not uncommon to have one or more of these present at the same time. I’m going to name some frequent phobias and give you a description of their symptoms: Let’s start with Agoraphobia which is when the person has an intense anxiety about venturing outside the safety of the normal home surroundings. It may be impossible for this person to ever go out alone. Their fear of public or open spaces is completely irrational and they often end up leading very secluded lives. Claustrophobia, on the other hand, is a morbid fear of closed-in areas or places—if you see me taking the stairs instead of the lift, think about it—am I trying to get more exercise or am I trying to avoid the confined interior of the lift? And I’m sure you all know people who are afraid of flying—sometimes it’s the fear of being enclosed in the aero plane itself—and you can imagine how the cramped confines of airline toilets are really bad news for these sufferers. Now, I’ll move on to discuss Social phobia which, believe it or not, is more common in men. It’s an acute anxiety that develops when they are in the presence of others. They feel self-conscious, apprehensive and embarrassed. If attention (real or imagined) is focused on the sufferer, he becomes uneasy and may blush, stammer or stutter. Some sufferers even develop tremors—shaking or trembling movements of a part (or parts) of the body—or, another very common sign of their extreme discomfort is that they perspire profusely on their palms, under their arms or on their feet. That brings me to the last one that I want to mention today and that is Single phobia—and no, it’s not a fear of lifelong bachelorhood! This one is actually precipitated by an acute aversion to dogs, cats, spiders—you may have heard of the term, arachnophobia? Well it applies specifically to spiders—but any single thing can basically cause a strong aversion: snakes, frogs, mice or rats, for instance. I can assure you, the list is unlimited. You name it, and someone is sure to have a phobia about it. Some people are terrified of the dark, for example, and I’m not talking about young children here. You’d be surprised how many adults are afflicted in this way. Well, I see our time is up. Next week, I’ll go into some of the treatments and therapies for phobias that have been used over the ages and some of the relatively new drugs that have recently come on the scene.31．Someone in an anxiety state has worse ______ than normal.正确答案：anxiety reactions32．A phobia may stem from heredity or ______.正确答案：environmental issues33．The reason for the final breakdown is generally linked with ______ like the loss of a loved one or a health crisis.正确答案：personal eventsMatch the phobic state in the box to the symptoms below.

Plainfield Community Centre.W: Yes, hi. I’m new in town, and I was curious about the services the Community Centre has to offer.M: We offer a variety of recreational activities. What were you interested in, in particular?W: Well, everything, I guess. OK, let’s start with kids. I have a teenage son. What activities do you have for teens?M: Right now, during the school year, we have tutoring sessions for children and teens, in all subjects.W: That would be good. He needs help with algebra.M: We can certainly help with that. Just have him come by any Wednesday or Saturday afternoon. That’s when the tutoring sessions are scheduled.W: Fantastic. What about sports? Do you have sports activities for teens?M: We have tennis lessons on Sunday mornings for teens and Sunday afternoons for adults.W: Hmmm, I don’t think my son would like that, but my husband might. For myself, I’d be more interested in yoga. Do you offer yoga classes?M: We do. Our yoga classes take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. We divide it up into several groups, so there’s one class for younger children, one for teens, and one for adults.W: Really? I doubt my husband and son would be interested, but I’d like to sign up for yoga. I also like reading. Do you have any book clubs?M: We have one just about to start. The first meeting will be next Friday morning. It will focus on early twentieth-century novels.W: Too bad it’s Friday morning. I think my son would enjoy it, but of course he’s in school at that time.M: Well, actually, that book club is for adults only. We may start one up for teens next summer, but we have nothing for that age group right now.W: Oh, well. I suppose he has enough to keep him busy for now. Now, what about fees? Do these classes and activities cost anything?Now listen and answer Questions 7 to 10.M: There’s a small charge for non-members for each class. However, they’re all free to members. Would you be interested in becoming a member?W: How much does the membership cost?M: Not much at all. The yearly fee is $73 for individuals and $225 for families.W: What do I get with the membership?M: You get free access to all classes and activities, and you can use our facilities, like the tennis court, the exercise room, and the meeting room.W: It’s not a bad deal, really. Could you tell me exactly where the centre is located?M: It’s at 107 Eliot Street.W: Is that Eliot with two Ls or one L?M: One L. E-L-I-O-T. It’s right downtown.W: I think I know where it is. Do you have free parking?M: Yes. You can park just across the street. There’s a garage there.W: That sounds easy enough. Maybe I’ll come in one day next week and sign up for some classes.M: That would be fine, but don’t come on Monday because we’re closed that day. We’re open Tuesday through Sunday.W: Oh. Thanks for telling me. Maybe I’ll stop in on Tuesday then. Can I pay for the classes with a personal check?M: We accept checks and credit cards.W: OK. Thank you very much.

Where is it you’ve been, Tom?T: Well, I’ve just come back from Vancouver, Sue, and I must say I had a fantastic time. There’s so much to see and do in the city. But if you get a chance to go there, there’s one place you mustn’t miss, and that’s the Museum of Anthropology. It was certainly one of the highlights of my time in Canada. The museum was actually established way back in 1949 and these days it’s one of the most popular in Canada. It’s worth going there just to see the building, in fact, because it’s stunningly modern and dramatic - it’s hard to believe it was built back in 1976. One very good thing is that the museum’s all on one floor, which makes it easily accessible for wheelchairs. Another plus is that it’s in the most beautiful setting, overlooking the sea. And inside, you can see archaeological and ethnographical material from all over the world, although what the museum is best known for is its collection of art and culture from the native people of the Pacific North-West.Questions 14-16T: It’s not a large museum, so it’s quite easy to find your way around. When you arrive, you come into the entrance lobby with a small shop on the right, where you can buy guidebooks and some interesting souvenirs. Then, if you walk straight ahead, you’ll go down a sloping ramp until you come to a kind of crossroads with an information desk. It’s worth spending a few minutes there, because the staff are very helpful and you can pick up various useful maps and leaflets. If you turn left at this point, there’s a large ceramics gallery, and if you turn right, you’ll eventually come to the theatre. But instead, keep walking straight ahead in the same direction as the ramp and you’ll find yourself in the museum’s most impressive room, the Great Hall. This was designed to house 30 of the museum’s largest totem poles and it’s absolutely spectacular! The glass walls are fifteen metres high, and the whole design is based on the structure of the native wooden houses.Now listen and answer Questions 17 to 20.T: After that, you can enjoy just wandering around the various galleries. Don’t miss the Rotunda, which is the setting for a beautiful modern sculpture called ‘The Raven and the First Men’. It’s carved from a huge block of cedar wood and it took five people over three years to complete. One of the best things about the museum, by the way, is that nothing is hidden away in store rooms. Everything is on show in a fascinating section called ‘Visible storage’.Now, a few practicalities. The museum is situated on the University of British Columbia campus, which is quite a long way out of Vancouver City, so you’ll need to take a bus to get there. Take a number 10 or a number 4 from town and stay on till the end of the line.Finally, it’s a good idea to check the opening times before you go. If you visit in the winter, remember that the museum is closed on Mondays. During the summermonths, it’s open daily. It’s also worth noting that there’s late opening till nine in the evening on Tuesdays, and that’s all year round. If you want more information, the museum has a useful website, which you’ll find on our Factsheet.S: Many thanks for that, Tom. And that report brings us to the end of the programme.

I thought some of them were tough.M: They were certainly hard and generally they were very long.A: Yeah. They were spread over a whole week, which made it impossible to relax.M: Exactly. But what did you think of each test?A: Of the seven exams we did, the least enjoyable for me were the two three-hour essay papers.M: Why didn’t you like the essay papers?A: I am not particularly good at writing things down like that in a short space of time. And I don’t think it’s a good way of testing our theoretical knowledge of medicine.M: I’m the opposite, I’m afraid. I’m much better in the written essay exams than other types of tests. But what about the two multiple choice exam papers in basic science and anatomy?A: They weren’t too bad. If you didn’t know the answer, all you had to do was guess.M: Mmm. That’s okay but I never feel comfortable with guessing. And you know that there is research that shows that women are disadvantaged when doing multiple-choice questions compared to men.A: You have mentioned this before, but I am not sure I believe it.M: It’s true. Multiple-choice questions benefit men more than women. They are a male construct.A: If you say so!M: It’s not if I say so. Anyway, you have to be careful with multiple-choice questions because of the negative marking. That can really bring the score down if you keep guessing and get all of the guesses wrong. It’s double negative.A: Yeah, that is a danger.M: What about the role-play? Did you like that?A: Yeah, with the actors and actresses as simulated patients. Yeah, I thought that was byfar the best part of the exam.M: Why was that?A: What I liked about it was during the 24 test stations, we had a chance to show what we know about communicating with patients and show our practical medical knowledge etc.M: Yes. I think I agree with you there. I enjoyed all of the stations, but I can tell you I was tired at the end. I have done a practice exam with 12 test stations, but not 24. It was exhausting, but also exhilarating.A: I completely agree. It lasted nearly four hours in total with the break.Now listen and answer Questions 26 to 30.A: What did you think of the other two exams?M: The two problem-solving tests? Mmm...l didn’t think I was going to handle them very well, but in the end I think they went better than I thought they would. What I liked most was the test where we had to work in groups of four and to solve a problem we had to prioritize prioritise actions.A: That was interesting! I am not sure I did very well in that, though. Did you feel comfortable being in a group of four and having four examiners watching you as you discussed the problem?M: We did practice it several times before. You learn to forget that someone is watching you.A: But some people are better at speaking in group situations like that and they get the best marks.M: The test doesn’t just assess whether people can talk a lot. It’s about showing you can listen, organize your thoughts and then show you can be part of a team, allowing other people to speak.A: Well, we’ll have to see how it goes. When do the results of the mocks come out?M: They said next week. And then it’s the Finals two weeks later.A: Yeah, we’ve got that to look forward to. What is the policy on re-sits?M: Why?

Much can be done to the store environment to encourage shoppers to linger longer and spend more money. The first aspect to consider is the physical organisation of the store. Placement of merchandise has a great deal of influence on what customers buy. For example, a common practice among retailers is to place the store’s best-selling merchandise near the back of the store. In order to get to these popular items from the front entrance, customers have to walk down aisles filled with merchandise that they might not see otherwise.Carpets are also used to direct customers through particular areas of the store. Retailers choose carpets not only for their decorative or comfort value, but also because lines or other types of patterns in the carpets can subtly guide shoppers in certain directions. Besides encouraging shoppers to go to certain areas of the store, retailers also want to keep them in the store longer. One way to do this is to provide comfortable seating throughout the store, but not too close to the doors. This gives customers a chance to rest and then continue shopping.Retailers can do a number of things to create a pleasant atmosphere in the store, thereby encouraging more purchases. Music is commonly used, not as entertainment, but as a calming influence. It can slow the customers’ pace through the store, making them spend more time shopping and, consequentially, making more purchases. Scents are also used in various ways.Everyone has had the experience of being drawn into a bakery by the smell of fresh bread. Experiments have been done with other types of scents, as well. For example, the scent of vanilla has been used toincrease sales in clothing stores.Questions 36-40Use of colour is another important aspect of store environment. Certain colours can affect behaviour as well as mood. Light purple, for example, has been found to have an interesting effect on customer behaviour. People shopping in an environment where light purple is the predominating colour seem to spend money more than shoppers in other environments. Orange is a colour that’s often used in fast-food restaurants. It encourages customers to leave faster, making room for the next group of diners. Blue, on the other hand, is a calming colour. It gives customers a sense of security, so it’s a good colour for any business to use. In addition to using colour to create mood and affect customer behaviour, colour can also be used to attract certain kinds of customers to a business. Stores that cater to a younger clientele should use bold, bright colours, which tend to be attractive to younger people. Stores that are interested in attracting an older clientele will have more success with soft, subtle colours, as older people find these colours more appealing.Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C.31．Retailers place popular itemsA．in the back of the store.B．near the front entrance.C．at the end of the aisle.正确答案：A32．Carpet patterns are used toA．help shoppers feel comfortable.B．appeal to shoppers’ decorative sense.C．encourage shoppers to walk in certain directions.正确答案：C33．Retailers can keep customers in the store longer byA．providing places to sit.B．keeping the doors closed.C．lowering the prices.正确答案：A34．Music is used in stores toA．entertain customers.B．slow customers down.C．make customers shop faster.正确答案：B35．The scent of vanilla has been used inA．ice cream shops.B．bakeries.C．clothing stores.正确答案：CComplete the chart about the effects of colour.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.正确答案：36．正确答案：spend money37．正确答案：leave faster38．正确答案：security39．正确答案：younger people//clienteles40．正确答案：older people//clienteles。

LISTENING TEST 2 - SCRIPTSNARRATOR: You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have toanswer questions on what you hear. There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work. All the recordings willbe played once only. The test is in four sections. At the end of the test you’ll be given10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.Now turn to Section 1.SECTION 1You’ll hear a travel agent talking to a client. First, you’ll have some time to look at questions 1-5.seconds][20 You’ll see that there is an example which has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.A GENT: Good morning, Global Travel, How can I help?C LIENT: Oh hello, yes, I’d like to speak to someone about booking a flight to Ireland. NARRATOR: The client wants to book a flight to Ireland, so Ireland is written in the space.Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you willnot hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.A GENT: Good morning, Global Travel, How can I help?C LIENT: Oh hello, yes, I’d like to speak to someone about booking a flight to Ireland.A GENT: Right, I can help with that. Er, what would you like to know?C LIENT: Um, what kind of prices and specials do you have?A GENT: Well, there’s a couple of options when flying to the UK. You can flythrough America and have a stopover there to break up the journey, although you would require a visa for that. The application process is quite straightforward though so there shouldn’t be any problem.C LIENT: Oh, I’m not really interested in stopping off anywhere; I just want to get to Ireland quickly. My sister’s getting married and the whole family will be there.A GENT: That’s lovely. In that case there are some good deals on direct flights fromSydney to London, with a short transfer in London, then on to Dublin.C LIENT: Okay. And how much is that option?A GENT: What date are you looking at departing?C LIENT: July 9. And the wedding is on the 15th so the last day I can arrive in Ireland is the 14th, I suppose.A GENT: Okay, just a second. Let me just check here on the system. Ah yes, there we are – a return ticket would be $3,500.C LIENT: Oh. I was hoping for something a little cheaper.A GENT: Well, you could leave a couple of days earlier, there’s a deal with Swift Air but the only thing there would be a compulsory two day stay in Bangkok. You’d still get there on time for the wedding, and the fare is $500 cheaper though. But there is a minimum stay of two weeks in the UK.C LIENT: Yeah, yeah. That’s definitely worth it. And I want to stay longer than two weeks in the UK anyway.A GENT: There’s one more option, and that’s to get a round-the-world ticket, whichsometimes ends up being cheaper and giving you more options.C LIENT: OK, what kind of options?A GENT: Well, you can make as many as six stopovers with this type of ticket and itremains open for up to 12 months. So you could go via South America, and stop off there, and then up to the United States and then on to the UK. Then, on the w ay....C LIENT: (interrupts) No, no, no. I don’t have enough annual leave to do all that! I think the flight through Bangkok sounds like the best option.A GENT: Did you want me to go ahead and make a booking for you?C LIENT: Yeah, that’d be great. ……………………………………………………………………………………………NARRATOR:Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to lookat questions 6 to 10.seconds][20Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.A GENT: Right, well I’ll just take down a few of your details. What’s your full nameplease?C LIENT: Sharmane Mary Salter.A GENT: Could you just spell your first name for me?C LIENT: Sure. It’s S-H-A-R-M-A-N-EA GENT: And I’ll just note down your departure date of July 7. You’ll arrive in Dublinon July 10.C LIENT: Right. How long is the flight in total?A GENT: Um, let me check: yes, from Bangkok to London is 12 hours, then anotherhour or s o on to Dublin.C LIENT: Okay. And what time do I arrive in Dublin?A GENT: Let’s see...that will be 11 pm local time. Is that okay?C LIENT: Yes, that’s fine.A GENT: Okay, so the full amount to pay, including taxes is $3,200. We just requirea 10% deposit and payment in full one month prior to departure.C LIENT: Sure. Do you take credit cards or is it cash only?A GENT: We accept both. What’s your card type and number?C LIENT: It’s Mastercard and the number is 5689 2366 2255 5877.A GENT: And your address please?C LIENT: 25 Bancroft Street, Manly. Will you send out the tickets or do I need tocome and pick them up.A GENT: We usually ask our clients to come in and pick them up from our branch inBurrell Ave, which is opposite the downtown mall. I’ll just give you your flight numbers now: you’re leaving Sydney on Flight SW 689 and returning fromDublin on Flight DF 691.C LIENT: Thank you. Oh, there’s one other thing – do you provide travel insurance?A GENT: Yes, we do. I think our 30 day Gold Star policy would cover your needs. It’s very comprehensive.C LIENT: Okay -what does that policy cover me for?A GENT: Let’s see, we’ve got loss of luggage, cancelled flights, personal theft and ofcourse hospital and medical cover.C LIENT: Oh, I don’t need medical cover because I’m a UK citizen. Is there another option without it?A GENT: Yes, in that case you would be fine with our Silver Star policy. It’s a little bit less expensive as well.C LIENT: Mmm yes, that sounds good. Is there anything else I need to do?A GENT: Um, no, that’s fine; I think I’ve got all the information I need. And I’ll give you a ring when your tickets are ready to pick up.NARRATOR:That is the end of section 1. You now have half a minute to check your answers.[30 seconds] Now turn to section 2.SECTION 2You will hear a Community Education officer talking to a group of people about a geology trip.First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.[20 seconds] Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.Good morning, everyone. I'm just going to take a few minutes to talk to you about the geology field trip that we have coming up. As you know, this trip is for people who are interested in rocks and fossils, and we think you’ll find it an interesting weekend.Originally we had planned to go to the south of England but that became complex, so now we’ll be going to a place on the west coast of Wales which has veryinteresting rock formations. We also drive through an interesting rocky area near the Welsh border that we could do a day trip to sometime next year. Many of the rocks and fossils we’ll be looking at are described in the reading material which we’ll be giving you before you go home today.So, ...we leave on Friday, August 13th and come back on Sunday at around 8 pm. We did consider asking people to take their own vehicles but decided that it’s much more fun to hire a coach and all travel together, er.... which we still need to confirm but if there any problems, we can all get there by train. So be here at the community hall car park at 5 pm on Friday night unless you hear otherwise.Now, we’d really appreciate it if you could limit your luggage. We have had people bring huge suitcases before and others who are hiking enthusiasts and bring large back packs, but to be honest, you can keep your luggage down to just one weekend bag and a small back pack for going out with each day. And you don’t need heaps of clothes and beauty products out there in the countryside...let’s get back to nature for a couple of days.Don’t worry about bringing food because we’ll be staying at the Lodge and all your meals will be provided. They cook great meals out there. But for those of you who get hungry, you could bring along some snacks or buy some there. They do have a snack bar which only sells chips and candy. If you prefer nuts and raisins or muesli bars, we’d advise you to bring your own. And you’ll need to bring soft drinks too as the Lodge only provides hot drinks and juice at lunch time.One thing I need to know from you today, if possible, is what type of accommodation you’d like. The Lodge has dormitories where eight people can sleep in one room. This costs $40 a night. These rooms are fairly basic and they have shared bathroom facilities which are a short walk away. But for those of you who like your comfort, there are motel rooms. These have their own coffee and tea making facilities and ensuite bathrooms. Of course, they will cost you more...$120 a night per room. If you choose to stay in a dormitory, you also need to bring your own linen and towels, but the motel rooms provide those for you.NARRATOR:Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.[20 seconds] Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.Okay, now I’ll just run through a few more details of what we’ll be doing on the field trip. Our timetable each day will be similar. You’ll be woken up at 7am and breakfast is at 7.45. At 8.45 we get ready to go for our daily hike to different areas where we can study rock formations and collect samples. The Lodge will provide everybody with a packed lunch, which is usually sandwiches, cake and fruit. Please tell the cook if you have any food allergies.We won’t get back until around 2 or 3 pm each day. Then there’ll be an hour when you can do some research in the library and write up your notes. At 4 pm, we’ll get together and have a study session to discuss what we’ve learned. You can show each other the rock samples you’ve collected and tell each other what you know about them. It’s also an opportunity to ask the experts some questions.5.30 to6.30 is your hour’s free time before dinner and time to relax. On Friday evening, you can just look around the place, chat together and settle in, but on Saturday evening, we have some games planned and we usually find this very entertaining.The coach leaves after dinner on Sunday to bring us all back to the community hall by 8pm. Remember to organise for somebody to pick you up as going by public transport with your luggage may be difficult.Right,... so the things you need to take hiking with you each day are: some walking boots...good, sturdy ones..., wet weather gear....don’t worry about waterproof trousers, just a jacket is fine....., a back pack for your lunch and pen and paper.....you can leave the text books at the Lodge. And water bottles are essential.And before I leave you today, please fill in this form so I know which type of accommodation you’d like...the dormitories or a motel room.Thanks for your time. If you have any questions or need any further information, feel free to ask.NARRATOR:That is the end of section 2. You now have half a minute to check your answers.[30 seconds] Now turn to section 3.SECTION 3You’ll hear a student talking to his thesis supervisor. First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.[20 seconds] Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.S UPERVISOR: Hi Philip, it's good to see you. How has your research come along since lastspoke?weP HILIP: Well, I've found some great material, but I feel like I need a lot more.S UPERVISOR:Ah yes, most thesis students have this problem.P HILIP: Good to hear!S UPERVISOR:This is much bigger than anything you've had to do in the past.P HILIP: Ye-es but I've been wondering if I should modify my research questions...S UPERVISOR:Not at all – yours have great focus.P HILIP: So why am I finding this so difficult?S UPERVISOR: Well, students are used to researching for shorter assignments.P HILIP: Yes, my dissertation last year was the longest thing I've written.S UPERVISOR: And that was what, eight thousand words?P HILIP: About that.S UPERVISOR: Well, your thesis is going to be forty thousand words. It requires a very special style of research.P HILIP: What do you mean?S UPERVISOR: Well, you need to spend more time covering every possible source of information.P HILIP: Well, I've searched the PAIS and IBSS journal databases....S UPERVISOR: That's a very good start, but …P HILIP: But not enough for a thesis?S UPERVISOR: No. The ones you’ve looked at have good coverage of mainstream journals, but there’s a lot more out there.P HILIP: Like what?S UPERVISOR: Well, even though yours is a politics thesis, a lot of scholars writing onwill not be political scientists.topicparticularyourP HILIP: Right, of course. They could be geographers, sociologists, anthropologists, and so on?S UPERVISOR: Yes. However, their research may be extremely relevant.P HILIP: I see.S UPERVISOR: So, you'll need to look around in the databases of different subjects. You could try anthropology and geography.P HILIP: Great, I'll make a note of those.S UPERVISOR: The only thing is you might have trouble with the geography texts.P HILIP: What do you mean?S UPERVISOR: They are written primarily for geographers who employ different vocabulary – not the same as we're used to in political studies.P HILIP: Oh okay, sounds like they could be difficult.S UPERVISOR: If you do have trouble, you could check out the International Encyclopaedia of Human Geography.S UPERVISOR: And another thing … when you are searching journals and databases, be sure to cover a broad range of search terms.P HILIP: I'm not sure I follow you...S UPERVISOR: Well, your research covers events in Eastern Europe, right?P HILIP: Right.S UPERVISOR: However, not all relevant articles will use the exact term “eastern Europe”; in fact, many studies will refer to specific countries. So be sure to include individual country search terms as well, and you’ll pick up a lot more.P HILIP: That's great advice, thank you.S UPERVISOR: No problem. Now, did you have any other questions? ……………………………………………………………………………………………NARRATOR:Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.[20 seconds] Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.P HILIP: Yes, I have some questions concerning my long-term plan for this year. S UPERVISOR: Sure.P HILIP: When should I start writing a first draft?S UPERVISOR: Depends on the student. Does writing come easily to you?P HILIP: Not really...S UPERVISOR: You'll want to start early then. But make sure you begin with an outline, and piece the rest in slowly. But you need to avoid the problem ofinsight.endnowithresearchingP HILIP: Right. I'll pick a date to and try and stick to it.S UPERVISOR: Good idea.P HILIP: Okay, how about the first or second week of August then? I'll aim tomyresearch by August, or maybe September...completeS UPERVISOR: Early August is best. You can do some minor referencing after that, but don't keep adding new information. Then you have one month of solidwriting to complete a first draft.P HILIP: When do you want that?S UPERVISOR: Well, I'm going overseas from September 13th until early October. If you want me to read it over before the oral presentation, then leave a hard copy in my pigeon hole which I’ll collect before the 10th of September.P HILIP: Okay. Now, about the oral presentation in October … Do I really have to30minutes?forspeakS UPERVISOR: No. The time allotted to you will be about half an hour, but it is not a presentation.formalP HILIP: So I won't be speaking for the whole time?S UPERVISOR: No, it usually takes the form of a casual discussion. Students will askadvice;offerwe will discuss any problems...questions,IwillP HILIP: Sounds fairly low key.S UPERVISOR: Yes, but the more prepared you are, the more you will get out of it.P HILIP: Great. Now my final question is about the November deadline for thethesis.S UPERVISOR: Remember – there won’t be any time extension, so aim to wind things up with at least a week to spare.P HILIP: Okay. And the formal bounded copy is handed in on the 30th?S UPERVISOR: That's right. Anything else?P HILIP: No, that's all. Thanks for seeing me!S UPERVISOR: No problem. Bye.NARRATOR:That is the end of section 3. You now have half a minute to check your answers.[30 seconds] Now turn to section 4.SECTION 4You’ll hear a talk about an animal called a dugong.First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[20 seconds] Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.Today you’re going to hear about one of my favourite animals – the dugong. I’m sure you’ve all seen photographs of, or maybe even documentaries about, this enormous but gentle marine mammal.Now, firstly, a few vital statistics: The dugong can grow up to three metres long and they’re very heavy creatures, weighing in at over 400kilograms. If they survive without interference or accident, they can reach an age of 70 years or more. You may have heard the dugong called something more familiar – it is often referred to as a sea cow – this is because it is unique among marine mammals in that it is entirely herbivorous. It grazes exclusively on plants and, for this reason, is probably more closely related to the elephant than to other marine mammals such as dolphins or whales.You’ll see, in this first slide [click], that Dugongs are quite rotund and, like the dolphin, they have a flattened fluked tail but, unlike dolphins, they don’t have a dorsal fin on their upper back. They have paddle-shaped flippers (I’ll tell you more about these later) and a quite distinctive head contour. They have very large mouths with an upper lip that is covered in bristles, like whiskers, I suppose. Can you see them? Ah, here, in this slide [click] there is a close-up view of the head and mouth. These bristles play an essential role in their feeding routine – without them they wouldn’t be able to find and nibble on the sea grass which is the mainstay of their diet. They have two nostrils near the front of the head so they can breathe air above the surface of the water whilst their body, or most of it anyway, remains submerged.I’d like to talk a little about their habitat and behaviour, now. Although dugongs can be found in the waters of up to 40 Indo-Pacific countries, it is the Australian population that we will focus on in this talk. They inhabit shallow, warm water off Queensland going all around the northern coast of the continent to WA. There are probably about 80,000 dugongs in these waters. As I said before, they consume aquatic grass – around 50kilograms a day. You’ll see in this slide [click] how theyuse their flippers - it looks as though the dugong is actually ‘walking’ on the seabed. Their average swimming speed has been calculated to be around 10 kilometres an hour. Some marine mammals can stay submerged for long periods of time but not so the dugong. Typically, the dugong holds its breath for between one and three maybe, a maximum of, six minutes, depending on the level of its activity.I’m going to move on to talk about the conservation status of the dugong. Dugongs are very slow to mature – and the female only has a calf about once every 5 years. The calf stays with the mother for up to 2 years. There are several natural predators, mostly sharks, which account for most of the juvenile fatalities, but crocodiles and killer whales also kill dugongs. However, as is the case with so many endangered species, it’s us, humans, who are the main threat to their survival. Of course, they have traditionally been hunted for food, but boat propellers, set nets and habitat destruction are all having serious effects on their numbers. Dugongs are particularly vulnerable because they live in shallow water where they are more likely to get caught in nets; not just fishing nets but, here in Australia, the shark nets. These anti-shark measures have become popular at swimming beaches since the 1960s. Unfortunately, once a dugong becomes entangled in a net, it can’t surface to breathe and drowns. Proponents of the shark nets argue that the number of dugongs being caught in nets is dwindling; however, this is seen by dugong researchers as just another indication of a substantial depletion in dugong populations from all causes. Therefore, their argument for the elimination of shark nets is stronger than ever.NARRATOR:That is the end of section 4.

I’m interested in doing a course in paragliding.Man: Which course are you interested in?Maria: Well, I’m not sure. What’s available?Man: Well ... we’ve got the introductory course which lasts for two days.Maria: OK.Man: Or there’s the 4-day beginners’ course which is what most people do first. I’d tend to recommend that one. And there’s also the elementary pilot course which takes five to six days depending on conditions.Maria: We might try the beginner’s course. What sort of prices are we looking at?Man: The introductory is ＄190; the beginner’s course, which is probably what you’d be looking at, is ＄320 - no, sorry 330 - it’s just gone up - and the pilot course is ＄430.Maria: Right.Man: And you also have to become a member of our club so that you’re insured. That’ll cost you ＄12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.Maria: Does that cover me if I break a leg?Man: No, I’m afraid not - it’s only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings, but not theft or injury. You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.Maria: I see! And what’s the best way to get to your place? By public transport or could we come by bike? We’re pretty keen cyclists.Man: It’s difficult by public transport though there is a bus from Newcastle; most people get here by car, though, cos we’re a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I’ll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What’s your name?Maria: Maria Gentle.Man: And your address, Maria?Maria: Well, I’m a student staying with a family in Newcastle.Man: So it’s care of ...Maria: Care of Mr and Mrs. McDonald.Man: Like the hamburgers!Maria: Yes, exactly.Man: McDonald ...Maria: The post office box address is probably best. It’s R.O. Box 676, Newcastle.Man: Is there a fax number there, because I could fax you the information?Maria: Yes, actually, there is. It’s 0249 that’s for Newcastle and then double seven five four three one.Man: OK. Now if you decide to do one of our courses, you’ll need to book in advance and to pay when you book. How would you be paying?Maria: Uh ... by credit card if that’s OK. Do you take Visa?Man: Yes, fine. We take all major cards, including Visa.Maria: OK then. Thanks very much.Maria: Hi, Pauline.Pauline: Hi, Maria! What’s that you’re reading?Maria: Just some information from a paragliding school-it looks really good fun. Do you fancy a go at paragliding?Pauline: Sure! Do you have to buy lots of equipment and stuff?Maria: Not really. The school provides the equipment but we’d have to take a few things along.Pauline: Such as?Maria: Well, it says here. ‘Clothes: wear stout boots’, so no sneakers or sandals I suppose, and ‘clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt.’ That’s probably in-case you land in the stinging nettles! It also says we should bring a packed lunch. We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee. Water is really the best thing to drink. Er...we need to bring suntan lotion and something to protect your head from the sun!Pauline: OK that sounds reasonable. And where would we stay?Maria: Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too, because it says here that it’s only ＄10 a day to pitch a tent. That’d be fine, wouldn’t it? And that way we’d save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money.Pauline: Um... or perhaps we could stay in a bed-and- breakfast nearby. It gives a couple of names here we could ring. I think I might prefer that. Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm and I don’t fancy a caravan.Maria: No, I agree. But let’s take a tent and pray for good weather.Pauline: OK - let’s do it. What about next weekend?Maria: No, I can’t - I’m going on a geography field trip.Pauline: ... and then it’s the weekend before the exams and I really do need to study.Maria: OK, then.

Give me the details and I’ll make a note for everyone at work.SARAH: OK.JOHN: Well, was it a boy or a girl?SARAH: It’s a boy.JOHN: And what are they going to call him?SARAH: Tom. Tom Lightfoot. It sounds quite good, don’t you think?JOHN: Yes, that has quite a good ring to it.SARAH: YOU know he’s quite a big baby. He weighed four and a quarter kilos when he 【Q1】was born.JOHN: That does sound big, four and a quarter kilos.SARAH: And he’s long too, forty-six centimetres. 【Q2】JOHN: Mmmm. Tall parents. He’ll grow up to be over two metres, I’d say.SARAH: With masses of black hair, curly black hair. You know, we should go and visit them in hospital. What about tomorrow afternoon at around l pm?JOHN: Yes, OK.SARAH: Where should we meet?... Ah, I could come and pick you up at your house, if you like.JOHN: Yes, that would be wonderful. My car is still off the road.SARAH: Just refresh my memory. What’s the address again?JOHN: It’s 15 Chesterfield Road, Paddington.SARAH: It’s next to the library, isn’t it?JOHN: Not exactly. It’s next to a bank. The State Bank actually. The library is 【Q3/Q4】opposite us, on the comer.SARAH: That’s right, and there’s a garage on the other street corner. I remember now. 【Q5】JOHN: So, you’ll pick me up at a quarter to one and we’ll be there at one easily.SARAH: Now what should we take? We must take them something.JOHN: I always think flowers are good to take to someone in hospital, don’t you?SARAH: Well, not really. Everyone always brings flowers and they don’t last. I think it’s much better to take a pot plant, so she can take it home with her.JOHN: Yes, but then she has to remember to water it. What about a big box of chocolates?SARAH: OK, chocolates sound fine. We should get something for the baby too. What do 【Q6】you think?JOHN: Yes, you’re right. What do you think of something like baby shampoo or talcum powder?SARAH: Or we could get a little hat, or something like that.JOHN: We don’t know the size, or the right colour, do we?SARAH: I think we should get something they wouldn’t normally buy. What about a soft toy of some sort?JOHN: Yes, a soft toy. 【Q7】SARAH: What about a teddy bear?JOHN; I could get one early tomorrow at the market and I could probably get the 【Q8/Q9】chocolates there too.SARAH: Good.JOHN; So you’ll pick me up at a quarter to one at my place and I’ll make sure that I’ve got the presents.SARAH: You must remember how much you paid for the gifts, so I can pay you back for half If they’re going to be from both of us, I would like to go shares.JOHN: OK. I’d say the chocolates would be about $15 for something nice andnot too small and the toy would be around $35 or so, I’d think. 【Q10】SARAH: Good, that’ll be fine. About $25 each then. Good, I’ll pick you up then on Sunday at twelve forty-five.JOHN: OK.SARAH: See you then.

Tonight’s show comes to you from the Good Home Exhibition in Duke’s Court, where we’ve been trying out some of the latest gadgets on show here and getting our resident expert - Liz Shearer - to tell us which ones are worth buying and which will die a death.LIZ SHEARER: Well, hello. Yes, John, I’ve been investigating four new household gadgets and sorting out the advantages and disadvantages and then really deciding what are ‘Must buys’, what are ‘Maybe buys’ and what are ‘Never buys’. Let’s start with this vacuum flask for keeping drinks hot. Well... I felt this had quite a lot going for it, most of all is the fact that it containsno glass and is therefore unbreakable to all intents and purposes. It’s made 【Q11】of stainless steel which is guaranteed for 20 years.., hope that’s long enough.., and it’s true what the manufacturer claims - that it does maintain heat for 18 hours. So that’s pretty good. On the down side, it 【Q12】really works out to be quite expensive and, much more surprisingly, it unfortunately leaves a strange taste.., you know when you’ve drunk 【Q13】from it... so all in all, my recommendation would be it’s got plenty of advantages, but it is rather expensive so I’d say you should maybe buy it. Moving on to a natty little device.., the Whistle Key Holder. Basically this is where you whistle and the key holder gives off a high pitched noise and flashes light so you can find it. One advantage of this model is that it also has a small light. You press the button and this means you can find keyholes easily. I also felt the small size was a real advantage. On the 【Q14】weaker side, I did find the noise unpleasant. Which I’m sure the designers could have done something about. And I found that it didn’t work 【Q15】through metal, so it’s mainly useful for finding in coat pockets, cushions, etc. But taken as a whole I thought it was a masterpiece of design and 【Q16】would highly recommend it. The third gizmo is called the Army Flashlight because it was developed initially for military use. It works by squeezing the handle to generate the power. Its advantages are that it can be used for outside activities, and 【Q17】also.., and this is one of the surprising features.., it does work underwater. My main objection to it though was although it did work in 【Q18】these conditions, this model gave off a weak light. So my recommendation 【Q19】I’m afraid would have to be to avoid this one. The decoy camera was last on my list. This is a fake video camera which you fix to your wall to scare off burglars. The advantage of this model is something which makes it look very realistic.., itsflashing light. On the 【Q20】down side, it was quite difficult to fix to the wall. However, burglary is such a major problem these days that it is worth the effort, so this gets my strong recommendation.PRESENTER: OK. Thanks for that, Liz.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Complete the table below:Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answerFor the recommendation column, write[A] You must buy this.[B] Maybe you should buy this.[C] You should never buy this.11．【11】正确答案：glass12．【12】正确答案：eighteen/18 hours/hrs13．【13】正确答案：(a) (strange) taste14．【14】正确答案：(the) small size∥small∥(the) size15．【15】正确答案：metal16．【16】正确答案：A17．【17】正确答案：outside/outdoor activities∥outdoors18．【18】正确答案：underwater∥under/beneath water19．【19】正确答案：(a) weak light20．【20】正确答案：flashing light听力原文：BRYSON: Well, Amina, thanks for letting me have your draft in such good time.AMINA: Oh, that’s alright. I was just very anxious to hear what you think of it. You can see that I decided to change the topic - I had been interested in looking at Barings Factory.BRYSON: Oh, I think the hospital was a much better choice. In fact.., well... I have to 【Q21】say that I thought it was good.AMINA: Oh?BRYSON: There’s still lots of work to be done...AMINA: Oh yes.., of course.BRYSON: But there’s plenty of good ideas. It opens well and the first chapter is fine but the middle section really stood out for me... most interesting.【Q22】AMNA: That’s amazing because I really didn’t find it a bit easy to write... 【Q23】BRYSON: How long did you work on the whole thing?AMINA: Well, I spent about two or three weeks reading and doing general research and then I dashed the writing off very quickly.., so about four weeks in all.BRYSON: Well, that’s about par for the course. You’ve got a while yet to make the changes.AMINA: Oh right.., no problem...BRYSON: Right. Let’s have a look at my notes here. OK. Starting with section headings …. the broad divisions are good but you’ll have to re-do the actual headings. Example I’ve made some suggestions in the margins...AMINA: OK. Thanks.BRYSON: Now, this information on local housing... I can see why you put it there but it 【Q24】really isn’t relevant to the approach you’ve taken.AMINA: I think I see what you mean.BRYSON: Now... what did I say about the interviews?AMNA: I worked very hard on those. I really thought they were valuable.BRYSON: They are, Amina, but they’re very complex and rather unclear at the moment. You’re going to have to spend a bit of time making the data a lot clearer. 【Q25】AMINA: OK... as long as I don’t have to remove them altogether...BRYSON: No, don’t worry.AMINA: What about the chronology.., the list of dates? I wasn’t sure whether I should rewrite those.BRYSON: My advice on that is to take them out. I feel it makes the whole piece appear 【Q26】too simplistic.AMINA: OK, if it’ll help. ................................................................................................................................. .........................BRSON: Now, there are a couple of other books I’d like you to look at. Have you got a pen? Right... Approaches to Local History by John Mervis...AMINA: Right...BRYSON: And then I think you need to think about ways of representing interview data. Have a look at Sight and Sound by Kate Oakwell. 【Q27】AMINA: Sight and Sound.BRYSON: Then you know I’m going away on holiday next week...AMINA: Yes.BRYSON: So when you’ve made the changes I suggest you show the work to your 【Q28】Support Tutor.AMINA: Support Tutor... right...BRYSON: Then you do the proof reading... 【Q29】AMINA: Proof reading.., uh-huh. When by, do you think?BRYSON: I’d aim for 29 June and after that you should get it laser printed.., but be 【Q30】careful because the computer centre closes on 10 July.AMINA: And then I hand it in to... ?BRYSON: Oh, the Faculty Office as usual.AMINA: OK, that’s fine. I think I’m all set now! Thanks very much for all your help.BRYSON: A pleasure. See you whenI get back.AMINA: Yep. Thanks, Dr Bryson.

I’m Paula Bundell and I am giving you the lectures on EnvironmentalNoise this term. Today we are going to look into the effects of noise on a planned housingestate in a particularly difficult part of the new Manchester Park area. This site is not as bad as some I have researched in the past. The Blacktown airport isclosed from 6pm to 7am and this is a great advantage to the site. The only noise after darkis from the highway and the traffic is somewhat reduced between 7.30pm and 5.30am. 【Q31】So, the people most affected by the noise will be, I expect, housewives. By the time most of 【Q32】the students and workers have arrived back home in the evening during the week the noisewill have abated to a fairly large extent. The weekends are still a problem of course, but thetraffic is certainly reduced on Saturdays to a large extent and even more so on Sundays. 【Q33】Of course modifications to houses will be necessary at a site like this and they come at asignificant cost to the developer and home buyer. The modifications I am about to outlinewill add about $25,000 to the price of a newly-built house. That will still mean a cheaper 【Q34】house than in a less noisy and more desirable area. A bit of background would not go astray. I understand that you are all familiar with theproposed development site at Manchester Park. It’s a particularly difficult one in terms of noise with the highway along the easternperimeter and the Blacktown airport not 3 kilometres away to the north. Ofcourse, those nearest the highway will be the worst hit, with heavy traffic noise aswell as the noise from the light planes overhead. As you all know, the normal noisethreshold for private housing is 55 decibels. At this site the levels have been recorded as 【Q35】high as 67 decibels. The construction of the houses has to be somewhat modified from houses in most areas. Inthe houses on the highway and in the noisiest areas of this site there will be a need forspecialised double glazing and special acoustic seals will have to be fitted to the doors. 【Example】All exterior doors in this especially noisy pocket will have to be solid core wood doors withhinges. Every house built on this site, not just those adjacent to the highway or nearest tothe airport, will require high density insulation materials in the roof. Not only will all theroofs need insulating, the exterior walls will be required to be double brick. All ceilings will 【Q36】require double thickness plaster board to be used in the construction. In the noisiest areasmechanical ventilation will have to be installed in the exterior walls. In those areas with 【Q37】sealed windows it will be necessary to fit fans with absorbers to cut out the noise in thoseparticular houses. Air conditioning units could also be fitted in the ceilings of such houses 【Q38】but this is substantially more expensive than fans, and may not be needed on this site. Coming back now to the double glazing I mentioned before. Specialised double glazingrequires a larger air gap between the inner and outer glass than normal double glazing.The gap must be at least 7 centimetres. The thickness of the glass is also a factor, 8 【Q39】millimetres on the outside and 6 on the inside pane. It is essential that the glass be thickeron the outside than on the inside and that the gap between the panes of glass be aminimum of 7 centimetres. Obviously, the noise factor will have to be taken into consideration with the layout ofthe houses. Living areas will have to be designed at the back of the houses away from thehighway. Bedrooms and living rooms will have to be built towards the back, and for those 【Q40】houses closest to the highway two layers of plasterboard will be needed for the interiorbedroom walls. Those rooms constructed at the front of the houses should be garages,laundries, kitchens, bathrooms and dining rooms. I have come to the conclusion that this development should go ahead, but with variousacoustic modifications according to the position of the block in relation to the highwayand intersection.Section 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-34Write NUMBERS AND/OR NO MORE THAN FOUR WORDS for each answer.31．Between what times is the road traffic lightest?正确答案：7.30pm (to/and) 5.30am 【NOT 7.30 to 5.30】32．Who will notice the noise most?正确答案：housewives∥housewifes33．Which day of the week has the least traffic?正确答案：Sunday(s)34．What will be the extra cost of modifying houses?正确答案：(about) $25,000/twenty-five thousand dollars 【NOT 25,000】Question 35Choose the correct letter A-D.35．The noise levels at the site can reachA．45 decibels.B．55 decibels.C．67 decibels.D．70 decibels.正确答案：CQuestions 36-38Complete the table showing where devices used in reducing noise could be fitted in the houses.Write: W for walls D for doors C for ceilings36．double thickness plaster boardA．WB．DC．C正确答案：C37．mechanical ventilationA．WB．DC．C正确答案：A38．air conditioningA．WB．DC．C正确答案：CQuestions 39 and 40Choose the correct letters A-D.39．Which is the correct construction for acoustic double glazing?A．AB．BC．CD．D正确答案：D40．What is the best layout for the houses?

I’d like to book a flight to Toronto, please.Travel Agent: Certainly. Flying from Sydney?Customer: Yes. On Thursday, please.Travel Agent: Thursday the 16th? Right .... There are three flights that day. Q1 Do you prefer flying with any particular airline?Customer: I’ve heard that Air Canada is good, but expensive. Is there a big difference in prices between the airlines? I’ll be flying business class. Q2 Travel Agent: Yes, there is. Air Canada is the most expensive airline at $4000 to $6000 for business class depending on the date of return. Qantas is $3000 to $6000 and Pacific, the budget airline, charges between $2000 and $3500.Customer: Wow! That’s quite a difference in prices! I’m returning on from Wednesday 22nd, so could you check the return prices for me?Travel Agent: Sure. Let me just enter the return date into the computer .... OK .... Air Canada has tickets for $4600. Qantas has them for $4200. Pacific has tickets for $3200. Those prices all include Q3 taxes and surcharges. Q4 Customer: OK. Before I make a decision, I would like to know the departure and arrival times—in both directions.Travel Agent: Of course. Let’s look at Air Canada first .... Leaves Sydney at 10 a.m. and arrives in Toronto at 10 a.m. local time. There’s a stopover in Vancouver. The Qantas flight leaves Sydney at 13:45 and arrives at 10:15 a.m. There’s also a stopover in Q5 Vancouver, but it’s shorter than the Air Canada one. Pacific Q6 flies via Los Angeles and leaves at 18:15, arriving at 11:55 Q7 p.m.Customer: Oh, that doesn’t sound very convenient —flying by Pacific, I mean. Travel Agent: Well, budget airlines do offer cheaper tickets, but they are often not so advantageous in other ways. Customer: How about the return flights? Travel Agent: Let me check .... The Air Canada flight leaves Toronto at 16:00 and arrives at 18:00 local time. The Qantas flight leaves at 9 a.m. and arrives at 11 a.m. local time in Sydney. Pacific ... The Pacific flight leaves Toronto at 22:25and arrives Q8 at 06:10 local time in Sydney. Again, not very convenient timing. Customer: No, it isn’t. Are the stopovers the same as on the outward journey? Travel Agent: Yes, they are.Customer: Well, I have a business appointment on Wednesday 22nd in the morning, so unfortunately, I can’t take the Qantas flight. The Pacific flight times are too inconvenient, so I’ll take the Air Canada flight, even though it’s more expensive.Travel Agent: Right. I’ll book that for you, shall I? Do you have your passport with you?Customer: Yes, I do .... Here you are. Travel Agent: Thank you. I’ll just enter your details .... OK, could you just check this print out? Make sure that I’ve spelt your name correctly and have written your passport number correctly too .... Will you be paying by credit card? Customer: Yes, I have a company credit card .... Here you are ....Oh, my name is Reece with a ‘c’ not an ‘s’. Travel Agent: Oh, I’m sorry! I’ll correct that. R, double E, C, E. Customer: And my given names are hyphenated. Mary hyphen Anne—with an ‘e’—oh, you’ve got that. Sorry. Q9 Travel Agent: OK. Mary-Anne, joined together with a hyphen. Is the passport number OK?Customer: Yes. Could you give me an official invoice, please? I need it for my company. Travel Agent: Certainly. Shall I use the company name as it appears on the credit card—ABC Stocks? Q10 Customer: Yes.Travel Agent: OK. Thank you. Could you sign here? ... And here? ... Thank you. I’ll just print out your ticket.Customer: Thank you.Questions 1-4Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A FIGURE for each answer1．On which day and date does the woman want to fly to Toronto?正确答案：Thursday 16th2．What class does the woman want to fly in?正确答案：business3．What is the lowest price for a ticket on the days the customer has chosen?正确答案：$3,2004．What do the ticket prices include?正确答案：taxes (and) surcharges5．Questions 5-8Complete the following information about the flight times using NO MORE THAN ONE WORD OR A TIME for each gap.正确答案：13:45 (or 1:45 p.m.)6．正确答案：Vancouver7．正确答案：18:15 (or6:15 p.m.)8．正确答案：22:25 (or 10:25 p.m.)Questions 9-10Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.9．What is the customer’s full name?正确答案：Mary-Anne Reece10．Which company does she work for?正确答案：ABC Stocks听力原文：Presenter: Good afternoon, everyone. I’m here to give you a talk ontenancy agreements and other legalities. If you rent a fiat or a house, or bed-sit, you will have a ‘tenancy agreement’or ‘lease’. This is a written legal Q11agreement between you, the tenant, and the property owner, the landlord.Tenancy agreements should normally contain information about the amountof rent, the length of the tenancy and what rights you and your landlordwill have under the law. In most cases, you will have an ‘assured short-holdtenancy’ which means that your landlord cannot ask you to leave withouta good reason during the first six months. Although these rights offer you Q12some protection, it is still your responsibility to check the tenancy agreementthoroughly and make sure you agree with the terms. Do not sign the tenancyagreement if you do not know what all of it means. If you do not fullyunderstand your fights, show your tenancy agreement to an adviser in theaccommodation office or student welfare office at your university or collegeand ask for help. You can also get help from a housing advice centre, lawcentre or Citizens Advice Bureau. When you do sign the tenancy agreement,make sure you get a copy to keep for yourself, in case you need to check any Q13details later on. The landlord may also ask you to sign an inventory: a list ofall the items in the property—pieces of furniture, kitchen items, etc. If so, Q14make sure you get a copy of this as well. Check that it is correct and that anyexisting damage to these items is included before signing it. If your landlorddoes not provide an inventory, you should make one yourself and send acopy to the landlord. Let’s take a look at payments. Before you move into privateaccommodation, you will probably be asked to pay a deposit equivalentto one month’s rent. Make sure you get a receipt for any deposit or fees Q15you have paid. When you leave the accommodation, if you have paid all Q16/17your bills and caused no damage to the property, your full deposit will bepaid back to you. If you are renting through an accommodation agency,you may also be asked to pay fees for preparing tenancy agreements andadministration. You should also keep a written record of all the rent paymentsthat you make, as you make them. If you have a dispute with your landlord,or you get behind with your rent, you should get advice as soon as possible.Remember that if you live in the same building as your landlord, or you havea room in a student or youth hostel, or university/college accommodation,then this will affect how secure your tenancy will be. If you do not shareany living space with the landlord or a member of their family, apart frommeans of access like an entrance hall or a staircase, or are a student livinginhalls of residence, or any other type of accommodation where an educationalinstitution is the landlord, you will have basic protection from eviction.Your landlord will have to end your tenancy first, either by waiting for the Q18/19/20end of the fixed term you agreed for the tenancy or by giving you at least Q18/19/20four weeks’ written notice in writing to quit or through getting a court order, Q18/19/20before you have to leave. If you share living space—for example, a kitchen,living room or bathroom—with your landlord or are in a student or youthhostel, you will be what is termed an ‘excluded tenant’, which means thatyou are outside the protection of the UK law which regulates tenancies andwill not have security of tenure. All the landlord has to do to evict you is togive you notice, although they must give you a reasonable amount of time inwhich to leave. If you have problems with accommodation, contact the accommodationoffice or students’union at your university or college. If you need specialistor legal help, contact a law centre in your local Citizens Advice Bureau whowill be able to tell you your rights as a tenant and the rights of your landlord.Questions 11-14Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each gap.11．A tenancy agreement is a ______ between the tenant and the landlord.正确答案：written legal agreement12．An assured short-hold tenancy means that your landlord cannot ask you to leave without a good reason during the ______.正确答案：first six months13．Tenants should keep a ______ of the tenancy agreement.正确答案：copy14．______ is a list of all the items in the property.正确答案：An inventory15．Questions 15-17Decide which THREE of the following statements about deposits are correct and write the appropriate letters on your answer sheet in any order.A They are special to England.B They are generally equal to one months’ rent.C They can be used instead of one months’ rent.D They can cover unpaid bills when you leave accommodation.E They can cover the cost of damage to furniture.F They are not payable when you use an accommodation agency.G They can cover the legal costs of tenancy disputes.正确答案：B16．正确答案：D17．正确答案：E18．Questions 18-20Decide which are THREE ways a landlord can legally evict a tenant (other than an excluded tenant) and write the appropriate letters on your answer sheet in any order.

Take a seat. Right, I’ve read your first draft of your project on housing. Well done.Klara: Thank you. I know it’s only a first draft though, so I’m sure you have some suggestions on how it can be improved. I was very nervous at first, because it wasn’t my first choice of topic.I had wanted to do something on voting patterns, but gettingQ21 information ... well, it didn’t look possible within the timeframe.Professor: Don’t worry. I think that you have made a good choice. Yes, a comparison of the factors influencing housing prices. Very topical!Klara: Definitely! There seems to be something about housing prices in Q22 the newspapers every day. I just wanted to compare the different factors—you know, location, the proximity of facilities such as schools ... Q23Professor: As I said, a good choice of topic. Now, the first part is very welldone. You clearly introduce what you are going to look at, why and how.Klara: Do you think that I have covered enough points there?Professor: I think so. Did you have anything else in mind—you know, something else you’d like to cover?Klara: Well, a friend suggested that I might include crime rates. Q24Professor: Actually, that’s a very good idea. You might consider it. It is something that many people take into accountconsciously or otherwise, when choosing a place to live. Nowadays, the police are required to keep quite detailed statistics on crime and you can Q25 get them fairly easily. I mean, it’s easy enough to ask for them, but it might take a while for the police to get them to you.Klara: OK. I’ll make a note of that—contact police for crime statistics.Professor: Now, I have to say that I found the middle part more difficult to get through.Klara: Oh! I thought I had done that rather well.Professor: Don’t worry—it’s not awful. It’s just that ... well, try to take a uniform approach. Use one for each criteria people use when Q26 choosing housing. That way, you’re comparing like with like, rather than different things.Klara: Ah, I see. So, I should stick with one as far as possible. Yes, that does seem logical. So, I don’t really need to get more data or write much more? Instead, I need to change ... I’ve got it.Professor: It just makes it a lot easier to read—that’s the main thing.Klara: Yes, of course. How about the conclusion?Professor: Based on the information you’ve provided, I think that you’ve done very well. You’ll have to see if the new information you include changes your conclusion at all. It probably won’t make a big difference, but you might see variations in some areas.Klara: OK. Do you think that I used appropriate headings? And is the bibliography OK? I know that a lot of professors look long and hard at that, whilst most students think it unimportant.Professor: Yes, professors find the bibliography very useful—it tells us where you are getting your information from and whether those sources are appropriate. Your bibliography is fine, but you might consider changing the format. Here’s a printout of the most Q27 widely accepted format. You can keep that.Klara: Thank you. And the headings?Professor: I made a few notes. Here are some suggestions. Don’t feel that you have to use them—I won’t be offended! But some of your headings are long-winded whereas others are relatively short—as Q28 they should be. Klara: Thank you. I’ll take a look at these later.Professor: How long did you work on the whole thing?Klara: Well, two months. Perhaps an average of three hours a day—not more than that. Probably, oh, 150 hours.Professor: That’s about what I would recommend. Anything less than 120 hours is going to be detrimental to the project. You’ll probably need another 50 hours work on it in total, you’ve still got a Q29 month, so you should manage it easily.Klara: Yes, a couple of hours a day. Easy!Professor: I’d suggest that you come back to see me in ... oh, about, let’s say, three weeks time? Then you should be virtually finished and I can have another look before you do your final proofreading before handing it in. Q30 Klara: OK. I’ll see you after one of the seminars to make an appointment. Is that OK?Professor: Certainly. Thanks, Klara.Klara: Thank you, professor.Questions 21-25Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.21．What did Klara originally want to do her project on?正确答案：voting patterns22．Where can Kiara read about housing prices every day?正确答案：(in) newspapers23．Which facilities might influence housing prices?正确答案：schools24．What did Klara’s friend suggest including information on?正确答案：crime rates/statistics25．Where could Klara get such information from?正确答案：(the) policeQuestions 26-30Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR NUMBERS for each gap.26．In the middle part, Klara needs to use a ______.正确答案：uniform approach27．The professor suggests ______ of the bibliography.正确答案：changing the format28．The professor suggests that headings are ______.正确答案：short29．How much longer does Klara have to finish the project?正确答案：a/1 month30．What’s the last thing Klara needs to do before giving the professor her project?正确答案：(final) proofreading听力原文：Presenter: Welcome to this presentation on scholarships and funding. If you are hoping for help with funding your studies in the UK, you need to get working on this as soon as you can—it is almost impossible to make arrangements for financial support once you have left your own country.

You’ll also find information and a scholarships database on their website. The main scholarship schemes available for international students include British Education Scholarships, Commonwealth Scholarships, Foreign Office Scholarships and Overseas Students Research Awards. British Education Scholarships are prestigious awards enabling talentedinternational students to study in the UK at postgraduate level. Only students Q31studying for at least one academic year are eligible. About 2000 newscholarships are currently awarded each year and there are plans to expandthe programme further. There are three types of scholarship. The first is a fullaward, where all the fees, a living allowance and travel to and from the UKare paid for. Then there is a fees-only award, where all or part of the fees are Q32paid. Finally, there is a partial award, where a combination of the fees andthe allowances are paid. The value of the scholarship will vary, dependingon the type of award, the length of the course and the country from whichthe student comes, but it is up to a maximum of ￡20000.

You must be resident in your own country when you apply. About3000 of these scholarships are awarded each year and their value ranges from￡5000 to ￡15000. Q35 Foreign Office Scholarships are a joint initiative by the Foreign Officeand certain UK higher education institutions. The awards are normally givenfor taught postgraduate courses.

First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Clive: Hello, Edwina, is it? Have a seat.Edwina: Yes, Edwina. Thanks. I’m looking for a job as a nanny. I like working with children. I talked to you yesterday?Clive: Oh, yes. Well, we covered most of the ground on the phone yesterday. I’ve got a form I need to complete for my records. So,(Example)you’re Edwina Riley, and how should we contact you?The woman’s name is Edwina Riley, so ‘Riley’has been written in the space. Now we shall begin.

And you’re from Australia?Edwina:(2)Actually. I’m a New Zealander.Clive: Oh, I’m sorry. I bet it’s really irritating being told you’re an Australian. Like Canadians being asked what part of the States they’re from.Edwina: I’m used to it. It happens to us all the time.Clive: And now, you said on the phone that you could bring me some references? One from someone who’s known you in a professional capacity and one personal one?Edwina: Ah, yeah.

There are a few other things you need to know. Anyway, the first family’s here in London.Edwina: Yes, I did make a few notes. London, er, that’s the Bentons? With two children?Clive: Yes. That’s right, a girl of three and her brother who’s eight. The little boy has a quite serious food allergy. Did you learn about things like that on your course?Edwina: Oh, well, I know what to do if someone has an allergic reaction.Clive: Good, but(7)what they mainly want is someone with an interest in sport, as that’s the kind of family they are.Edwina: Oh that’s OK. I’ll enjoy that.Clive: Good. Now the next people are in the country, near Oxford.Edwina: Oh yeah, the Grangers?Clive: So,(8)they have twin bovs of five, who are a bit of a handful, I suspect, but it’s a lovely place, quite a grand house, and the family is extremely welcoming. They keep horses. Do you ride?Edwina: I did when I was younger. I like animals generally.Clive: Well, ‘animal-lover’was their special request, so you’d be fine there. The last family ...Edwina: Yes?Clive: I don’t think I told you(9)they live in Scotland.Edwina: Really? What’s their name?Clive: Campbell.Edwina: Oh, yes. And they have four girls under ten?Clive: That’s it. They have a lovely city flat, and they own a small island.Edwina: Wow!Clive: Actually, you might get on with them very well.(10)They particularly wanted someone who would be prepared to cook when they go camping on the island.Edwina: Camping would really suit me and I’m used to taking my turn doing the food. But it is a long way from London.Clive: Mm. Yeah, well, you can think about it. Urn, then as soon as I’ve checked your references, we can arrange for you to talk to all of the families.Edwina: Right.

First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 11 to 14.Guide: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m very pleased to be able to welcome you to ‘Cityscope’, our lovely modern sports and leisure facility. I’ve brought you up to the rooftop cafe on top of the stadium so that you can enjoy the view while I explain briefly what we have here and point out to you the major features of the site. Then we’ll go round and have a look at ground level.We’re extremely proud of this new facility. You see, when the project was first discussed, we expected that a multinational company would give us half our funding and the central government grant would make up most of the rest, with a smaller contribution from local business. Well, we’d got quite far into the planning stage when the multinational pulled out and both central and local government decided they couldn’t afford anything, so we ended up with a beautiful project, a small amount of sponsorship promised by local organisations and nothing else.We thought we’d never build it, but at the last moment,(11/12)we had an amazing donation of several million pounds from a national transport company, and that got us going again and(11/12)we managed to get all the rest from local fundraising. There’s hardly a street in the city that hasn’t made its contribution one way or another, so there’s a true sense of local ownership here.So, this is what we got. We wanted a new stadium because the 1950s football stadium is on the other side of town and is shortly due to be pulled down and built over. This site was the old airport with some playing fields on one side of it and a few buildings from the 1930s when the airfield first opened. So we were able to plan a new stadium with plenty of room for all the things people wanted.(13/14)The playing fields have been upgraded and refenced so they are now a set of top-quality outdoor pitches for amateur football, hockey and so on. We have both sports and other entertainments here. We want to encourage all kinds of people onto the site and hope some of them may come to use the cinema or the cafe and end up trying the fitness centre. These areall grouped together:(13/14)the cafe is in the original 1930s passenger hall and the architects have managed to retain some of the elegant style of the building. The other buildings, like the control tower, which would have made a great feature, and the aircraft hangars which we had hoped might house the fitness centre, were unfortunately not structurally sound enough to preserve. So everything else is newly built, opened in 2010.Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.Right, now if you’d like to gather a little closer to the window I’ll point out the various buildings. We’re at the highest point of the stadium here in the rooftop cafe, on the opposite side to the main entrance doors.(15)On our left, you can see two buildings just beyond the end of the stadium. The closest one is the business centre, used for meetings and conferences, and so on, which provides a good source of revenue for the upkeep of the sports facilities; and next to the business centre the bigger building is the hotel which is rented from us by an independent company. As you see, they are served by the perimeter road which runs round three-quarters of the site. Now, coming round to the front of the building,(16)immediately in front of the entrance, that circular open space at the end of the road is the transport hub. From here, there are buses and a monorail link to the free car park, about ten minutes from here, but you can’t see that. There’s also a large secure cycle park. Oh, and disabled parking, of course. People find it’s very convenient and it keeps the site virtually car-free. OK. Now if you look as far as you can over to the right, beyond the buildings, you can see our outdoor pitches, which I mentioned earlier. Between the pitches and the entrance is a little kind of pedestrian plaza ... are you with me? OK,(17)with the cinema in the building furthest away from us. next to the pitches, then there’s the ten-pin bowling between the cinema and the road.(18)Near the far end of the perimeter road and between the mini-roundabout and the pitches - there’s our fitness centre, with all kinds of equipment, and a small pool, and changing rooms for teams using the pitches. Then,(19)joined on to the stadium, next to the entrance, is a range of small shops which all specialise in sports equipment, clothes, shoes. They sell toys and so on as well, all that sort of thing. They seem to be doing well! As you see, the service road goes right round, but we keep the traffic and the pedestrians well apart, so it’s all very relaxed round the plaza, popular with families. And(20)just in front of the bowling is our lovely restaurant. You can see it from here - it’s that building on the plaza between us and the bowling. It’s open all day and in the evenings. There’s quite a queue there at weekends, I’m pleased to say.So, now you’ve got the layout, we can go and have a closer look at everything.Choose TWO letters, A-E.Which TWO sources of funding helped build the facility?A the central governmentB local governmentC a multinational companyD a national companyE city residents11．正确答案：D解析：D/E12．正确答案：E解析：E/D,Distraction A: This was what was originally hoped for, not what actually happened: ‘when the project was first discussed, we expected that a ... central government grant would make up most of the rest’; C: ‘when the project was first discussed, we expected that a multinational company would give us half our funding’-again, this was hoped for but not what eventually happened; B: ‘local government decided they couldn’t afford anything’. ‘Pre-existing’ means something which already exists.

First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.Chloe: Oh, hi Ivan.Ivan: Oh, hi Chloe.Chloe: I’m glad I bumped into you because I’ve been looking at this prospectus about courses at the university. I’m thinking of doing a business studies degree. Isn’t that what you’re doing?Ivan: Yes, I’m about to start my third year. I think you’d enjoy it. Is there something on the course that you’re not sure about?Chloe: Well, you know I’ve been working for a publisher for the last four years as a production assistant...Ivan: That will be really valuable experience because a lot of people go to university straight from school and don’t have that kind of background.Chloe: Yeah, I know and I’m used to dealing with figures and percentages and things, but(21)it’s been a while since I’ve sat down and put my ideas into an essay. I was never that good at it and I’m not sure I can do it now.Ivan: But you did OK at school, so I’m sure you’ll soon get into it again. I was worried about different things when I started, like if I’d be able to use all the computer programs, but you only really need the basics. You have to do a lot of presentations and I thought that would be hard, but we’d actually had such a lot of practice at school it was fine.Chloe: But did you find writing essays easy?Ivan: It was OK but(22)I was hopeless at getting them in by the deadline and I was always late for lectures, so I had to work hard at that and I tend to be early now.Chloe: It’s good that you’ve sorted yourself out before you go and get a job or you might not have it very long! I think the course looks really interesting.Ivan: It is and it also gave me the chance to spend six months working in a local business last year.Chloe: That’s not so important for me unless I could go abroad to use my foreign languages but that doesn’t seem to be on offer, which is a shame.(23)What really appeals to me. though, is the idea of being assessed throughout the year. I think that’s a much more productive way of learning instead of everything being decided in an exam at the end.Ivan: It’s good for people like you who are hard-working all year round. You’ll be spending all your time in thelibrary. They’ve just expanded it too.Chloe: That’s good.Ivan: Well, yes and no. They’ve made the study area bigger but it means they’ve taken some of the magazines and periodicals away, so I think it was better as it was. The university’s expanding all the time and(24)there are lots of new courses coming next year.Chloe: Well, that’s great news, isn’t it? It means the college will have a better reputation as more people will hear about it. so that’s good for us.Ivan: Mm, I agree but they really need to add more lecture rooms as we often have lectures in tiny rooms.Chloe: Well, you obviously think overall it’s a good place to do a degree. I should probably go and have a look round.Ivan: Well, it’s holidays now and there’s not much going on there.Chloe: Oh, so it’s probably not worth going in now.Ivan: But(25)you could email my tutor - I know he’d be happy to answer any questions. I can give you his email address. I looked at quite a lot of other universities and read loads of prospectuses but I thought this one was the best.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.Chloe: I was a bit unsure about all the different subjects you can choose on this course.Ivan: Well, I can tell you a bit about them. There are some subjects you have to do and some that you can choose. The most interesting course I’ve done is(26)public relations.Chloe: From what I’ve read it doesn’t look very demanding - some of it is really just common sense.Ivan: But it will be really useful if you want to go into marketing or advertising.Chloe: That’s true, but I need to find out a bit more about it first before I decide - if it will really help me. It’s difficult to tell from the prospectus.Ivan: But you are interested in marketing?Chloe: Oh, yes.Ivan: Well, you can choose a(27)marketing course. I wasn’t very impressed with that course actually. The tutor didn’t make it very interesting.Chloe: Mm, it’s good to put on your CV that you’ve done a marketing course, though, so that would be a definite for me and maybe I’d get a different tutor. What other courses did you choose?Ivan: I’m doing(28)taxation as I was thinking of training to be an accountant but I’m not sure now.Chloe: Oh, that will be a good option for me because I enjoy working with figures. Although I don’t want to be an accountant, it’ll be good to have an understanding of taxation, especially if I ever run my own business.Ivan: Then there’s the most popular course, which is(29)human resources and a lot of people seem to get jobs in that field.Chloe: My friend works in human resources and she’s really good at it, but I don’t think I’ve got the right personality so I’d give that one a miss. I’m more interested in how businesses actually work - the structure.Ivan: That’s a compulsory course - the structure of business - but you might find(30)information systems helpful.Chloe: Is that kind of computer programs?Ivan: Some of it is, but also databases, project management, and other things.Chloe: Oh, sounds useful, but I’ll have to look at some of the other possibilities first. You know, Ivan, this course sounds as though it would suit me. I’m going to apply.Ivan: Great! If there’s anything else you want to ask me, you’ve got my number.Chloe: Thanks!21．What is Chloe concerned about?A．her knowledge of mathsB．her ability to write essaysC．her lack of business experience正确答案：B解析：Ivan says: ‘Is there something on the course that you’re not sure about?’which tells you that you need to listen for the answer Distraction A: Chloe says ‘I’m used to dealing with figures and percentages[= maths]’ so she’s not concerned about it; C: Ivan says ‘That will be really valuable experience’in response to Chloe’s description of her present job and she agrees with him, so she doesn’t think she lacks business experience.22．Which of the following does Ivan feel he has improved?A．his computer skillsB．his presentation skillsC．his time management正确答案：C解析：Distraction A: Ivan says he was worried about his computer skills but then he says ‘you only really need the basics’, so those skills haven’t improved; B: Ivan says about presentation skills ‘I thought that would be hard, but we’d actually had such a lot of practice at school it was fine’, so his presentation skills have stayed the same.23．What does Chloe especially like about the course?A．She won’t have to do a final examination.B．She can spend time working in a business.C．She can study a foreign language.正确答案：A解析：Chloe says: ‘What really appeals to me ...’Distraction B: Chloe says ‘That’s not so important for me’(but Ivan says it was for him); C: Chloe says she would like to use her foreign languages but that doesn’t seem to be on offer.24．Ivan is pleased that the university is going to haveA．more lecture rooms.B．a larger library.C．more courses.正确答案：C解析：Distraction A: Ivan says ‘they really need to add more lecture rooms’ not that he is ‘pleased’that this is actually happening; B: Although Ivan says they’ve expanded the library, he goes on to say that they have taken some of the magazines and periodicals away so he thinks ‘it was better as it was’(i.e. he is not pleased about the larger library).25．What does Ivan advise Chloe to do?A．contact his tutorB．read about some other universitiesC．visit the university正确答案：A解析：Distraction B: Ivan says he ‘read loads of prospectuses’but he doesn’t suggest Chloe does this; C: Ivan says it’s not worth visiting as ‘it’s holidays now and there’s not much going on there’.What does Chloe decide about the following subjects?

First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[Pause the recording for one minute.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.I work for the National Weather Service and as part of your course on weather patterns, I’ve been asked to talk to you about how we predict the weather. We’re so used to switching on our TVs and getting an up-to-date weather forecast at any time of day or night that we probably forget that this level of sophistication has only been achieved in the last few decades and weather forecasting is actually an ancient art. So I want to start by looking back into history.The earliest weather forecasts appeared in the 1500s in almanacs, which were lists of information produced every year.(31)Their predictions relied heavily on making links between the weather and where the planets were in the sky on certain days. In addition, predictions were often based on information like if the fourth night after a new moon was clear, good weather was expected to follow.But once basic weather instruments were invented, things slowly started to change.(32)In the mid-fifteenth century, a man called Nicholas Cusa, a German mathematician, designed a hygrometer which told people how much humidity there was in the air. To do this, Cusa put some sheep’s wool on a set of scales and then monitored the change in the wool’s weight according to the air conditions.A piece of equipment we all know and use is the thermometer.(33)Changes in temperature couldn’t really be measured until the Italian Galileo Galilei invented his thermometer in 1593. It wasn’t like a modern-day thermometer because it had water inside it instead of mercury. In fact, it wasn’t until 1714 that Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer. In 1643 another Italian called Evangelista Torricelli invented the first barometer which measured atmospheric pressure. This was another big step forward in more accurate weather predicting.As time went on, during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, all these meteorological instruments were improved and developed and people in different countries began to record measurements relating to their local weather. However,(34)in those days it was very difficult to send records from one part of the world to another so it wasn’t possible for them to share their information until the electric telegraph became more widespread. This meant that weather observations could be sent on a regular basis to and from different countries. By the 1860s, therefore, weather forecasts were becoming more common and accurate because they were based on observations taken at the same time over a wide area.(35)In 1863. France started publishing weather maps each day. This hadn’t been done before, and other nations soon followed. So that was the start of national weather forecasting and I’ll now tell you how we at the National Weather Centre get the information we need to produce a forecast.Even today, one of the most important methods we use is observations which tell us what the weather is doing right now. Observation reports are sent automatically from equipment at a number of weather stations in different parts of the country.(36)They are nearly all based at airports although a few are in urban centres. The equipment senses temperature, humidity, pressure and wind speed direction.Meteorologists also rely really heavily on satellites which send images to our computer screens. What we see on our screens is brightcolours.(37)Orange represents dry air and bright blue shows moisture levels in the atmosphere. The satellites are located 22,000 miles above the surface of the Earth and it’s amazing that despite that distance(38)it’s possible for us to make out an individual cloud and follow it as it moves across the landscape.In addition to collecting data from the ground, we need to know what’s happening in the upper levels of the atmosphere. So a couple of times a day from many sites across the country, we send radiosondes into the air.(39)A radiosonde is a box containing a package of equipment and it hangs from a balloon which is filled with gas. Data is transmitted back to the weather station.Finally, radar.(40)This was first used over 150 years ago and still is. New advances are being made all the time and it is one method for detecting and monitoring the progress of hurricanes. Crucial information is shown by different colours representing speed and direction. Radar is also used by aircraft, of course.All this information from different sources is put into computer models which are like massive computer programs. Sometimes they all give us the same story and sometimes we have to use our own experience to decide which is showing the most accurate forecast which we then pass on to you.So I hope next time you watch the weather forecast, you’ll think about how we meteorologists spend our time. And maybe I’ve persuaded some of you to study meteorology in more depth.Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.

I must admit, although I carry it around in my wallet, I wasn’t really aware of that.DAWN: Not many people are. I’ve been caught out myself. Now, I can see that you’re one of those who has opted out of having an address printed on the card...and I can understand that. Personally, I think it’s better security not to have it--in case your wallet gets stolen, for example.GA VIN: I agree.DAWN: Can you give me your current address for our records?GA VIN: Yes, of course.

In our air-conditioned restaurant we can cater for anyone from the individual diner to families and tour groups but we also do functions such as weddings, conferences, birthday parties and so on. We have a delicious modern menu on offer in the restaurant—or perhaps you’d prefer to sit outside in the courtyard overlooking the lush, tropical gardens—and, for those booking a function, we devise an interesting set menu according to the type of celebration and the client’s budget. If formal dining isn’t what you’re after, we operate a take-away food bar which has a range of fight snacks and refreshments—just the thing ff you’re supervising children in the playground. The playground and picnic area makes a great alternative to the beach—if you’ve remembered to bring your bathing suit and a towel, you can cool off in the water spray park. Parents can sit back, relax and enjoy a coffee while the kids have fun in our fully-fenced, shady playground and picnic area. What a way to make the most of the warmth and sunshine we have here in abundance! The older children will love to visit the Historic Cottage with their parents. This was the original homestead on the property and is now preserved as a museum with an educational DVD and cinema room. You’ll find the information centre here also and you’ll be ableto pick up some glossy brochures to take home with you and show your friends. Don’t worry—we have more than enough leaflets for you to take home. Visit the Gift Shop and you’ll find an enormous variety of local products, fine foods and handicrafts on sale. Some say that this is the best displayed and priced shop in the region. There is more to be admired (and purchased) in the Garden Nursery which has an extensive range of flower pots, indoor and outdoor plants, statues and all kinds of other garden accessories to adorn any home or garden. While we’re on the topic of gifts and such, I must mention the Wood Crafting Shed and urge you to take a look at the amazing products that the wood crafting team produces there. You’ll be able to watch them at work and buy anything they’ve made. The toys they produce are not only original but some of the finest craftwork you’ll ever see. Take your little ones by the hand and keep an eye on them because they’ll want to play with these but they can’t be played with unless they’re paid for. Last but not least are the orchards. The Summerland Tourist Attraction is actually a working farm with over 40 hectares of macadamia and avocado trees. The macadamia nuts are picked by machine from April through to September. The avocados are grown, hand harvested, packed and marketed on site.11．Diners can eat inside the restaurant or in the ______.正确答案：courtyard12．Visitors can put on their swim suits and play in the ______.正确答案：water spray park13．The Cottage houses a museum, cinema room and ______.正确答案：information centre14．The Garden Nursery’s the place to buy plants, pots, garden sculptures and ornaments including ______.正确答案：statues15．The Wood Crafting Shed is a great place to buy wooden products, especially ______ for the children.正确答案：toys16．The avocado fruit that is grown at Summerland is picked by ______.正确答案：hand听力原文：Now, are you all set for the tour? We’ll leave the car park and walk in an easterly direction towards the administration building with the parking spaces outside. We won’t go into the admin building because there’s nothing much to see there; instead, we’ll walk in a north-easterly direction towards the museum but before we get to it we’re going to turn right, walk past it, and go into that enormous building to watch how the avocados are graded and packed. Well, what did you think of that? Those packers have to work very fast as you can see. Now as we come out of this building we’ll go to our left and around the back towards the cool room. Of course this is where all the fruit is stored after packing—there are a lot of boxes of fruit in there—nothing very interesting to look at, but we will stop at the other building to see how they make the cardboard cartons. See how everything is mechanized so there is very little labor involved? I’m intrigued by how those machines operate just like clockwork. It does get very hot in there, though, doesn’t it, which makes the thought of a peek inside the cool room quite attractive. But, no, we’ll skip that and make towards the building in the far north-eastern corner of the facility where they take the husks off the macadamia nuts. It’s quite noisy but absolutely fascinating. Now, we’ll take a shortcut heading west through the orchard to the woodcrafters’ workroom and shop and H1 give you a few minutes to browse. Take note of where this is because I’m sure you’ll want to come back here later this afternoon in your free time Is everyone still with us? Right, let’s go south now and take a leisurely walk through the picnic and playground area with the water feature but we want to end up over at the garden shop at the northern end of the car park. We’ll have to walk through the little gift shop first to gain access to the garden shop and I’m sure you won’t be able to resist getting some nice little presents for the folks at home. Are you ready for lunch now? I know it’s been a whirlwind tour but the restaurant has us booked in for 12.30 and after that you’re free to take your time wandering around until the bus leaves at 3 p.m.Label plan below.

How are you?ANNIE: Fine, thanks.LECTURER: Well, tell me what you have here.ANNIE: We thought we’d look at different methods of hydro culture.LECTURER: Uh huh.TONY: In the true hydroponics method the roots are bathed with water and nutrient solution while support for the plant must be provided above the container.LECTURER: And...alternatively?ANNIE: Alternatively, the plants can grow with their roots in a substratum such as sand, vermiculite or LECA granules.TONY: LECA stands for Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate and vermiculite is...LECTURER: Thank you Tony, I know what vermiculite is...but you should be prepared to give details about all these things to the visitors. Can you explain what the advantage of LECA is over traditional soil?TONY: It’s a natural product...manufactured from clay...it’s colorful, lightweight and...perfect for allergy sufferers.LECTURER: That’s right. Now tell me why.ANNIE: Because it’s clean and hygienic, bacteria and soil diseases don’t get a chance.LECTURER: Well, you could say that on this chart here...”Ideal for household plants”.ANNIE: And we’ll point out that the growing medium itself makes no contribution to feeding, which is provided in solution with the water.LECTURER: Good, now tell me what you’ve got here.ANNIE: This is a simple version of the first method, using a wide-necked jar which we’ve filled with water and nutrients, leaving space at the top. As the roots need to be in darkness we’ll cover the sides of the glass with brown paper later.LECTURER: How did you get the plant through the cork?TONY: We made a hole through the centre and cut the cork in haft so we could fit it around the plant stem and we padded the hole with cotton wool.LECTURER: That’s a good demonstration of the principle involved, and ideal for a house plant but many people will want to see a wider application—what about more plants?ANNIE: We haven’t quite finished the preparation yet, but over here you can see a bigger container in fact, any wide container can be used—with the nutrient solution in the bottom, air space above...and then we’ve made a rigid lid and we’ve covered that with a layer of litter.LECTURER: What have you used for litter?ANNIE: We’ve used wood shavings...LECTURER: Untreated?ANNIE: Definitely. That’s most important —you can use a variety of materials for litter but obviously nothing toxic and treated timber contains some nasty chemicals so, if you’re using sawdust or wood shavings, they have to be from natural timber.LECTURER: A good point...TONY: Yes, we’ll make a note of that when we list possible ingredients for litter.LECTURER: Be sure to explain the purpose of the rigid lid—it’s wire mesh, isn’t it?—and why the litter layer is important too.ANNIE: Well, the mesh is just a platform to keep the litter out of the water and the primary function of the litter is to exclude light from the rootspace...21．In hydro culture, plants are grown with their roots in water so ______ is necessary for the upper part of the plant.正确答案：support22．LECA is made from ______.正确答案：clayLabel the diagram below. Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.23．正确答案：cork24．正确答案：wire mesh25．正确答案：nutrient solution听力原文：LECTURER: Mum. What you have so far is ideal for the home or office but what about commercial applications?TONY: Well, we’re going to demonstrate the nutrient film technique which is popular with some commercial growers, particularly for the cultivation of crops such as runner beans and tomatoes. Producers would really like to see some innovation in the cultivation of potatoes and yams too but obviously this technique is only suitable for those crops which grow above ground.LECTURER: What about peas?TONY: Well, we found peas were awfully tricky to grow using this method although we’re still unsure as to the reason.LECTURER: Where’s the exhibit? I don’t see it anywhere.ANNIE: Well, that’s because we haven’t finished it yet because we’re going to have to procure some mature plants first. We didn’t think far enough ahead to have started them off earlier. And when we do get them, we’ll have to handle them carefully.TONY: Yes, because when our model is finished, you’ll see how the plants are held in position by a plastic tube which almost encloses them completely and is quite loosely fastened around the stems.LECTURER: Yes, and the feeding or watering system?ANNIE: Well, it’s a bit different—on a large scale like this, you need to have the food solution trickle downthrough the tubes...TONY: Yes, but the solution must also be rich in oxygen...LECTURER: And what—it just bathes the roots?TONY: That’s one way of doing it.LECTURER: What’s the other way?TONY: You can have the solution moistening a substratum of rock wool at the bottom of the container.LECTURER: Rock wool?TONY: It’s the same as mineral wool—you know a lightweight, fibrous material—the kind of thing used for insulation. Or, you can use a layer of paper fiber.LECTURER: Oh, yes...something that has the capacity to absorb the solution, right?ANNIE: Well, you do need to experiment a little. For example, we tried coconut fiber...TONY: But it just didn’t have the properties we were looking for...LECTURER: I see.TONY: In our display you’ll only see the basics—the kind of thing that can be done at home in the back yard, but commercial enterprises do need a lot more equipment and the media used in substrata are constantly changing as new developments are made. The cost of upgrading is ongoing.ANNIE: And there’s always the potential of outright failure when changing systems from one you know and understand to an innovative one.LECTURER: Of course. There’s no room for guesswork in business—you have to try to get everything right first time.Which TWO kinds of produce are especially suited to the nutrient film technique?

I’d like to thank the Continuing Education Department for hosting this series of lectures on “People behind the names you thought were fiction”. Welcome to this talk on “The Grand Old Duke of York”. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the old nursery rhyme: The Grand Old Duke of York. He had ten thousand men. He marched them up to the top of the hill. And he marched them down again, and so on. But did you know that the Duke of York immortalized in this popular song was actually Frederick Augustus, second son of King George the Third of England and Queen Charlotte? He achieved fame in this way because of the humiliation he suffered at the hands of the French during the Revolutionary Wars at the end of the 18th century. Frederick was born on the 16th of August 1763 and from the age of seventeen he had been trained as a soldier. When war broke out between England and France in 2793, his father, the king, insisted that he should command the British contingent that was being dispatched to Flanders to co-operate with the Austrians and the Dutch. The Duke was a brave soldier, but, remember, he was only thirty at the time; not only was he young but he was also inexperienced in battle and was unable to cope with the enthusiastic French Revolutionary Army. He was let down by his allies too, and in spite of the arrival of ten thousand fresh troops from England, his campaigns were a disaster. He was driven out of Dunkirk in September 1793, Flanders in May 2794, and Belgium in July 1794. Finally, during the winter of 1794 to 1795, his army retreated to the border of Hanover. And...with his unsuccessful campaigns over, the Duke returned to England. It was after this military fiasco that the Duke of York came to be (rather unkindly) satirized in song. Would you believe, despite all this, King George the Third arranged his son’s promotion to the position of Commander- in-Chief of the army in 17987 And, in the following year, he was appointed to command an army sent to invade Holland. Again he was unsuccessful and this confirmed the general opinion that he was not capable of commanding an army in the field. Nevertheless, the rhyme is a bit cruel and harsh because it doesn’t take into account the nature of the soldiers who served with Frederick. All the blame for lack of success should not have been attached to the Duke alone because the army he had under his command was made up from what is commonly described as “the scum of the earth”—this is a somewhat offensive term used to refer to a group of people regarded as despicable and worthless. Who were they—these ordinary soldiers? Well, they were mostly vicious, brutal ex-envies or raw recruits and elderly men. The officers who commanded them were all untrained as military men. In fact, they were anybody who could afford to buy a commission. Urn, but here’s the really great thing that, unfortunately, the Duke of York is not remembered for: he realized that this was a hopeless kind of army and he set about improving conditions in order to recruit higher quality soldiers. He introduced padres—are you familiar with the term? No? Well, let me explain...you see, members of the British Armed Forces are generally Christians of one denomination or another, and a padre is a Christian cleric or chaplain who ministers to the soldiers and attends to their spiritual needs without belonging to any particular grouping within the Christian faith. Now, where was I? Yes, Frederick introduced padres, doctors and veterinary surgeons to the battlefield. Why vets? To attend to the horses, of course! Remember we’re talking about late 18th century battlefields. He was also the founder of the Royal Military College for the training of officers at Sand Hurst—yes, the very same one where the princes and other members of the royal family receive their military training today! Frederick also founded the Duke of York’s School in London for sons of soldiers killed in battle. His name is perhaps better commemorated by this school in Chelsea than by the column that stands at the top of Waterloo Steps in St. James’s Park. In 1807, the Duke was involved in a scandal with a woman and as a result resigned as Commander-in-Chief but he was reinstated in 1811 by his elder brother, the Prince Regent, who later became George the Fourth of England. He continued in this post until his death in 1827.31．Frederick was the name of the duke made famous in a well-known ______.正确答案：rhyme/song32．Frederick was aged ______ when he was sent to war.正确答案：30/thirty33．His battles against the ______ ended in total disaster.正确答案：French34．In 1798, George Ⅲgave his son a ______ within the ranks of the military.正确答案：promotion35．Frederick should not be held wholly accountable for failing: the ______ of his fighters made victory difficult to achieve.正确答案：nature36．The people Frederick commanded were mostly old men, new conscripts or ______.正确答案：(ex-)convictsComplete the notes below.
