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.。

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.
