《现代大学英语听力1》Unit 1习题答案及原文
Task 1Okay, Okay, let’s begin. Hello,everyone. My name is Susan Hudson, and I’ll be your teacher for this class, International Communication.Uh, to begin with, please take a look at the syllabus in front of you. As you all should know by now, this class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:50. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursday in room 405 during the last two months of the class.Uh, this is the text for the class, Beyond Language. Unfortunately, the books haven’t come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to purchase them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again, as you see on your course outline, grading is determined by your performance on a midterm and final test, periodic quizzes, uh, a research project, and classroom participation.My office hours are from 1:00 to 2:00 on Wednesdays, and you can set up an appointment to meet with me at other times as well.Task 2Librarian: Can I help you?Student: Yes. I am a bit confused. My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter in a book called Sociology and the Modern Age. According to the syllabus, the book is in the library, but I haven’t been able to find it.Librarian: Do you have your syllabus with you? May I see it?Student:Yes, uh… I put it in the front of my sociology notebook. Yes, here it is. Librarian: Let me see. Oh yes. Your professor has placed this book on reserve. That means you cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to go to a special room called the reserve room. It’s down the hall and to the right.Student: I’m sorry, I still don’t understand what you mean by on reserve.Librarian: You see, your professor wants every one in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.Student: So, will I be able to find this book?Librarian: Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book. The student can have the book for a few hours, and he or she MUST read it in the library during that time. That way, the book stays in the library, and all students have a chance to read it.Student: OK. Thank you. I understand now.Librarian: Will there be anything else?Student: No! I am on my way to the reserve room. Thanks again!Task 3Hello and welcome to the university library. This taped tour will introduce you to our library facilities and operating hours.First of all, the library’s collection of books, reference materials, and other resources are found on levels 1 to 4 of this building. Level 1 houses our humanities and map collections.On level 2, you will find our circulation desk, current periodicals and journals, and our copy facilities. Our science and engineering sections can be found on level 3. You can also find back issues of periodicals and journals older than six months on this level. Finally, group study rooms, our microfilm collection and the multimedia center are located on level 4.Undergraduate students can check out up to 5 books for 2 weeks. Graduate students can check out 15 books for 2 months. Books can be renewed up to 2 times. There is a 50-cents-a-day late fee for overdue books up to a maximum of $15. Periodicals and reference books cannot be checked out.The library is open weekdays, 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, and on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 8:30 pm. The library is closed on Sundays.Task 4Randall: Hi Faith. Do you have a minute?Faith: Sure. What’s up?Randall: Well, I just wanted to go over the schedule for Wednesday’s orientation meeting to make sure everything is ready.Faith: Okay. Here’s a copy of the tentative schedule. [OK.] Now, the registration starts at 8:30 and goes until 9:15. [All right.] Then, the orientation meeting will commence at 9:30.Randall: Okay. Now, we had planned originally for the meeting to go until 10:30, but now we have someone from the international center coming to speak to the students on extra-curricular activities, so how about ending the meeting around 11?Faith: Fine. And, uh, then students will take the placement tests from 11:15 until noon [OK.], followed by 20-minute break before lunch. [OK] And, immediately after lunch, we have reserved a campus shuttle to give students a 45-minute tour starting at 1:30. [Oh.OK] We want to show students around the university, including the union building, the library, and the student services building.Randall: Great. Now, how about the oral interviews?Faith: Well, we’re planning to start them at 2:15.Randall:Uh, well, teachers are going to be up to their ears in preparations, and they’ll be hard pressed to start then.Faith: OK, let’s get things rolling around 2:45.Randall: OK, here, let me jot that down. Uh, could you grab a pen off my desk?Faith: Right. Finding anything on your desk is like finding a needle in a haystack. [Oh, it’s not that bad.] Here, use mine.Randall:OK. And we’ll need 150 copies of this programme guide by then.Faith: Hey. That’s a tall order on such short notice! How about lending me a hand to put things together [OK.] by this afternoon so we don’t have to worry about them? Randall: OK. And I think the manager has given the green light to go ahead and use the more expensive paper and binding for the guides this time.Faith: OK. So the interviews will go from 2:45 until, let’s say, 4:30.[OK.] I hope we can wrap things up by 5.Randall: Great. I think the bottom line is to keep things running smoothly throughout the day.Faith: I agree. I’ll pass this schedule by the director for a final look.Task 5Receptionist: Good morning. Can I help you?Student: Yes, please. I wou ld want to have some information about the …er… the courses at Swan School.Receptionist: Is that a summer course you’re interested in?Student: Yes, yes, pleaseReceptionist: Yes, Fine. OK.

We have a lady who arranges the accommodation for you with Oxford families.Student: How much does it cost?Receptionist: Well, you can choose to have bed and breakfast only which is ￡20 a week, or bed, breakfast and dinner which is about ￡27 a week.Student: ￡27. Thank you very much.Receptionist: You’re welcome.Task 6Every year, high school juniors and seniors from across the US take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT 1).The SAT 1 is a three-hour exam that tests students math and verbal skills. Most universities will not accept students without this test. It is also used to help decide how much financial aid should be given to each student.Scores range from 200 to 800 for each part. There is a total of 1,600 points. The test is held every year from October to June. But seniors must take it before December in order to include their scores in their university applications. The average total score for an American high school student is around 1,000.A poor SAT score can prevent a student from going to a good university. Students who want to go to one of American’s best universities, such as Harvard or Yale, must score between 1,430 and 1,600.The test can be taken over and over again, but all the scores will appear on the students’ records. However, unlike Chinese universities, the score is not the only ting needed. American universities also look at a student’s subject grades, what they do outside of school, and their teachers’ recommendations.In addition to the SAT 1, some universities require high school students to take at least three SAT IIs. These one- hour exams can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.Task 7Japanese students need 12 years of study before entering universities.They choose the places they want to go and apply before January of their final year. The university entrance exam is a standard nationwide test held every year in January. It provides tests for 31 subjects in six subject areas: Japanese language, geography and history, civics, math, science and a foreign language. All national and public universities, as well as some private ones make use of this exam. But many places also have their own tests in February or later, before the new school year starts in April.In order to pass the exam for the best universities such as the National University of Tokyo, many students attend special preparation schools on the top of their regular classes. These extra schools can last for one to two years between high school and university.Although every student has the chance of going to a Japanese university, only 50 percent of high school seniors actually choose further study.Task 8The School was opened in 1955 and is part of a non-profit-making educational foundation. Its 200 students, from 30-40 countries, work in large, attractive buildings set in extensive, beautiful gardens, within easy reach of the centre of Cambridge. The School has dining rooms, a library, video filming studio, language laboratories, listening and self-access study centers, computers, as well as facilities for tennis, table tennis, volleyball, basketball, badminton and football.General English classes are for students aged 17+. Complete beginners are not accepted. Students have classes for 21hours a week. Other subjects available within the General English timetable include English for Business and English Literature. The cost of tuition, materials and books per term is 1,130p. Accommodation is with local families. Lunch is provided in the School Monday to Friday. All other meals are taken with the family. There is a full range of social activities including excursions, discos and theatre-visits. The total cost of all non-tuition services is 670p per term. There are 3 terms of 10 weeks and summer courses of 9 weeks and 3 1/2 weeks.Task 9This school has a capacity of 220 students. It occupies a 19th century building in a quiet tree-filled square close to Victoria Station in central London.General courses, either in the morning or afternoons, comprise 15 50-minutes periods per week. We cater for a wide range of classes from beginners to advanced, enabling us to place students at the level indicated by the special entry test which all students take. There are usually no more than 14 students in a class. In addition to the 15 lessons, there are daily individual laboratory sessions and lectures on life in Britain at no extra cost.There are 8 classrooms, a multi-media learning centre, language lab, video, computer, lecture hall, can teen. We are open from January to December for course of 3 to 14 weeks. There is a special 2-week Easter Course and Refresher Courses for overseas teachers of English in summer. Fees are approximately 46p per week for general courses. Accommodation can be arranged with selected families with half board. There is a full social programme and regular excursions.Task 10This school, founded in 1953, is a non-profit making Charitable Trust. Situated in residential North Oxford, 3 km form the city centre, the College occupies a complex of purpose-built blocks and 14 large Victorian houses providing academic and residential accommodation. Facilities include an excellent library, video room, language labs, computer room, science labs, assembly hall and coffee bar.A particular benefit for the EFL student is the opportunity to live and study with native English speakers taking the 2-year International Baccalaureate course, or courses at university level.All students are encouraged to participate in social and extracurricular activities including sports, horse riding, drama, art, crafts, photography, films, concerts and excursions.Academic Year Courses (21hours per week) leading to all principal EFL examinations, concentrate on language with selected studies in Literature, Politics, History, Art History and Computing. Most students lives in college houses each supervised by a resident warden, but some prefer family accommodation.Task 11:Cindy Farrow is Andy and Kate Morgan’s American cousin. She is 18 years old. She comes from California, on the west coast of the USA. She lives with her parents in San Francisco. She is a student at Berkeley College where she is studying modern languages.

Then mark the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneThere were many thefts in a big city, which made the residents complain much about the government. Therefore, the police were ordered to find out the thief within a week. With great efforts, at last they caught him. But while they were taking photographs of him－from the front, from the left, from the right, with a hat, without a hat－he suddenly attacked the policemen and ran off. They tried to catch him, but he got away. All of them felt at a loss what to do.Then a week later the telephone rang in the police station and somebody said, “You are looking for Bill Cross, aren’t you?” “Yes.” “Well, he left here for Waterbridge an hour ago.” Waterbridge was a small town about 100 miles from the city. The city police at once sent four different photographs of the thief to the police in Waterbridge. Less than twelve hours later they got a telephone call from the police in Waterbridge. “We have caught three of the men,” they said happily, “and we will catch the forth this evening, we think.”26. How many kinds of photographs did the police take of the thief?27. When was the police station informed of the trace of the thief after he escaped?28. What is true of the police in Waterbridge according to the passage?Passage TwoAlmost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings --- battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed --- took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information.There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and, of course,advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.29. How was news sent in the past?30. How long did news travel from one country to another five hundred years ago?31. Why is newspaper sold at a low price?32. Why are newspapers so popular?Passage ThreeBanking began thousands of years ago in very early civilizations. The first bankers were money changers. They took foreign money from travelers and gave them local coins. They carried the money in special boxes called strong boxes to protect it from robbers. Later, people brought their money to money changers for protection. Finally, money changers loaned money to people and charged them interest. The early Italian bankers worked outdoors on the street. They used a bench for their place of business. In fact, the modern word “bank” comes from an Italian word meaning bench. By the 16th century banks were popular everywhere in Europe. They were family business. Kings and other rich people borrowed money from bankers. In the following century, British bankers were the first people to make paper money. They gave their customers paper notes in exchange for their gold and silver. People liked the paper bank notes because they were easy to carry. After a while, everyone accepted bank notes as money. The first successful bank in the United States opened in Philadelphia in 1792. Today there are about 14,000 bankers in the United States.33. What was the original meaning of the word “bank”?34. When were banks popular everywhere in Europe?35. Why did British people like the paper bank notes?36. How many bankers are there in the United States today?Section DDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the missing information. You can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In the planned-economy era, college students did not have to worry about their tuition because the government bore most of the cost. Now with the (37) growthof educational costs, including teachers’ salaries, equipment and campus construction, the (38) average cost of training a college student has reached (39) 15,000 yuan according to statistics from the Education Department. In theory, tuition fees today do not (40) cover the basic educational cost of each college student. “But increasing tuition fees is not an (41) endless process－when the fee finally gets close to the basic educational cost, it will stop (42) increasing ,” Tang said. China is a populous country and it has not been easy to develop (43) an education system because economic development is still comparatively low . High tuition fees (44) reflect that the whole society is going through a period of transition. “ (45) Encouraging students to get loans in a competitive way andcultivating their sense of social responsibilities,” Zhang said. “The whole of society should (46) be motivated to develop education .”。
大学体验英语自主听力3级答案学习啊 (1)
学英语简单吗？肯定会有许多学生说：“难死了”。
为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢？答案只有一个：“不得法。
” 英语与汉语一样都是一种语言，为什么你说汉语会如此流利？那是因为你置身于一个汉语环境中，如果你在伦敦呆上半年，保准说起英语来会非常流利。
但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境，那么你可以自己设置一个英语环境，坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”，那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。
一、多“说”。
自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自然而然就会记住。
千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。
或许你有机会碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。
尽量用一些你学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。
不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。
因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。
只是你必须要有信心，敢于表达自己的思想。
如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。
二、多“听”寻找一切可以听英语的机会。
别人用英语交谈时，你应该大胆地去参与，多听听各种各样人的发音，男女老少，节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到，如果这样的机会少的话，你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听，这将会对你帮助很大，而你去听学过的课文的磁带，那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。
三、多“读”。
“读”可以分为两种。
一种是“默读”。
每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提高阅读速度有很大的好处，读的内容可以是你的课本，但最好是一些有趣的小读物，因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。

Listening StrategyDistinguishing Between Similar SoundsIt is important to distinguish between similar sounds while s like Jean and Jane, figures like 18 and 80 can sound quite alike.Titles like Mrs. and Miss can also be confusing.Listen to the recording and underline the word you hear in each sentence.1. May I introduce Miss Jones to you?2. John Davis was born in California in 1930.3. I can't agree with you more.4. My birthday is on June 20th.5. Paul, is your sister married?6.

I didn't catch it."Or "Could you speak more slowly, please?"At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way."Well, I really need to be going" or "It was nice talking to you"is frequently used by people to end a conversation.Exercise 2：Listening for detailsListen to the recording again and complete the answers to the following questions.Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the conversations and repeat after the recording.Practise the conversations with your partner,playing the role of A or B.Then work with your partner to create your own conversations by replacing the underlined parts with your own words.Conversation 1A: Excuse me, Jack, do you have a minute?B: Yes. What can I do for you?A: Well, I wonder if you could tell me how I could improve my oral English.B: Mm. Do you often speak English with your friends?A: I wanted to, but every time I open my mouth I seem to make errors, so sometimes I just give up.B: I guess speaking in a foreign language isn't easy. You must be willing to make some errors at the beginning. A: You mean I shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes.B: That's right.A: And I should try to speak English as much as I can.B: Exactly.A: Thanks for the advice.B: Any time.Conversation 2(On the way to class)A: Cold this morning, isn't it?B: Yes, and it's supposed to get even colder.A: I hope it won't get as cold as last night.B: Speaking of last night, did you attend the English Speech Contest?A: Yeah, I did.

Maybe one of us can win the next English contest.A: Yeah, maybe. Who knows?B: Well, I have to run now. I have an appointment with the dean. Bye.A: Bye.Part CAdditional ListeningA PassageSmile When You Read ThisListen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).Correct the ones that are false.How good is your memory?Answer these four questions:What did you have for breakfast yesterday?What clothes did you wear last Friday?Who did you talk to yesterday?Where did you go last Saturday?If you can answer all the four questions, your memory is very good.Education specialists in England have been looking into ways to improve our memory of what we read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions. The smiling students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students. Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five students read the angry article while frowning. Which group remembered better? You're right. The frowning students. The specialists don't know why facial expressions help memory. They are continuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Part DTest Your ListeningA PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.Many expressions may be used to describe someone who is excited. One such expression is "beside oneself". You can be beside yourself with anger or beside yourself with happiness, although usually not both at the same time! If you are beside yourself, you are filled with excitement. The dictionary tells us that "beside" means "next to", or "at the side of". So the expression "beside oneself" describes something that really is not possible. Today, you might hear a husband say, "When my wife told me we were going to have a baby, I was beside myself with joy." Or someone might tell you he was beside himself with anger because he had just lost his job. When you are full of joy or extremely excited, you may do something strange. You may "flip your lid". A lid is the cover that prevents something from escaping from a container. A lid on a cooking pot, for example, keeps the heat from escaping. To flip something is to turn it over. So when you "flip your lid", you become so excited that you lose your self-control.Questions1. What condition does the expression "beside oneself" describe today?2. What is meant by the expression "flip your lid"?3. What does the passage mainly discuss?全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程1Unit 3 School LifePart ACommunicative FunctionExpressing Likes and DislikesThere are various ways to express likes and dislikes. They can be expressed by using verbs, phrasal verbs, adjectives as well as adjectival phrases.Listen to the recording and complete the following passage with the missing words.Maggie likes swimming but she doesn't care for skiing. She loves flying on planes and traveling by train but hates getting on buses because they are often too crowded. She is interested in playing the piano and is fond of reading and playing computer games. At weekends Maggie loves going to Chinese restaurants and her favorite food is spicy Sichuan bean curd. After work she is keen on listening to music. She prefers light music to rock, because light music makes her feel relaxed. In the evening she enjoys watching TV in her own room. She thinks a lot of news programs but sitcoms are the last kind of thing for her to watch.Listening StrategyIdentifying NumbersIt is necessary for us to listen for specific words that contain the information we need. This exercise focuses on one kind of required information —numbers.Listen to the recording and fill in the blanks with the numbers you hear.1. Remember to put down the zip code when you address the envelope. Mine is 92381.2. Sally's aunt has just come back from France. Now she's staying at the Park Hotel, Room 2608.3.

But actually they do much more than that. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly, yet works from sixty to eighty hours a week. Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which they revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare notes than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experiments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may also be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions. When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behind closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow's classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must feel strongly about the importance of the college experience.Part DTest Your ListeningA PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.Despite what your parents and others try to make you believe, life at college may not be the best experience you will ever live through. Why? The simple one-word answer is: Roommates. One has often heard about the guy that never sleeps or the girl who always has her friends over or the one who studies all the time and becomes very disturbed by the slightest movement you make. Okay, they are not all that bad. So how do you get them to stop? You can't do it. It's impossible. The only way you will be able to live with your roommates is by compromising. If you like to have friends over, but your roommates want to study, take your friends out. If you don't like to listen to music while you are studying but one of your roommates does, ask him to use headphones. Talk about your habits and ask your roommates about theirs. Respect your roommates and your roommates will respect you. You may not be friends with your roommates by the end of the year but you may be friends with them the year after, when you are no longer rooming together. This is all right though. Sometimes it's too difficult to try to live together and be good friends at the same time. Roommates are not always meant to be your best friends. Remember: Not only do you have roommates, you are a roommate. Be good to your roommates.Questions1. What does the passage mainly tell us?2. What's the only way you will be able to live with your roommates according to the passage?3.

Don't you think so?W: Yes, and clever too. One of the best students in her class, I believe.M: Do you know her well?W: Quite well. Shall I introduce you to her?M: That'd be nice.2. M: When are you leaving for Australia, Diana?W: In just two weeks. And I'm so excited. But there are still one or two things I need to do before I go.M: Like what?W: Like going to the travel agent and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone.M: Your apartment? Perhaps you could sublet it.W: Yeah, but who to?M: Hmm,let me think. Oh, I know just the person. An old friend of mine, Peter Jones, is coming here to do some research this summer, from June through August.W: That's exactly when I'll be away. Sounds ideal. When could you talk to him about it?M: Well, I'll be calling him later this week, anyway. I'll mention it to him then.W: Thanks a lot.

I don't know what Carol's friends are interested in.B: Let them tell you. If you let people talk about themselves, they'll think you're interesting.A: You mean something like "So, tell me what you're interested in"?B: Well, you don't have to be that direct.For example, you can talk about the weather.A: You can't be serious. The weather's boring.B: It's a good excuse to find out what they like to do. On a rainy day, you say, "What do you do in such terrible weather?"A: What if they just stayed home and read a book?B: Then ask them about the book. You can ask if it was good. Ask if they liked it and why. Then talk about a book you really liked.A: So that's what small talk is about, isn't it? Well, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tips, Mike.B: You're welcome.

The computer company— Microsoft has become the first company in history to be valued at more than 500,000 million dollars. Microsoft produces an operating system that is used in most of the computers in the world. Microsoft was established by Bill Gates. If the company were a country, it would have the 9th largest economy in the world.News Item 2In Washington, a judge has ruled that Microsoft Company has acted as a monopoly. Thismeans Microsoft took steps to end competition from other companies to gain total control of the market. The judge said that Microsoft’s business actions harmed people who buy computer products. The court decision is considered a major defeat for the company. Microsoft is the world’s largest maker of computer software products.Task 6【答案】A.1) T, 2) F, 3) F, 4) T, 5) T, 6) TB.Judge Jackson’s rulings1) misusing, computer programs2) two smaller businessesThe Federal Appeals Court’s rulings1) block competition2) reconsider3) fair/being fair, Microsoft and Bill GatesLegal experts’ comments1) the Federal government, Microsoft2)a) The Supreme Courtb) a new trial, the unresolved legal questionsc) negotiations, privatelyBill Gates’ responsethe situation, solutionProspects1) an agreement2) punished, pay money【原文】In November, a Washington D.C. judge found the Microsoft Corporation guilty of misusing its power to control the market for computer programs. Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson announced his findings after months of trial. He said Microsoft uses its power to illegally block competition.Judge Jackson later ordered that Microsoft be divided into two smaller businesses. The Microsoft Corporation quickly appealed Judge Jackson’s ruling to a Federal Court.Last week, the Federal Appeals Court ruled on the case. It said Microsoft Corporation was guilty of creating a company that used its power to block competition. The seven Appeals Court judges agreed with Judge Jackson that Microsoft limited creativity in the computer industry and harmed the public. They said that Microsoft was guilty of violating several federal laws.However, the Federal Appeals Court also said the Washington D.C. court must reconsider its order to divide Microsoft into two smaller companies. The federal court dismissed Judge Jackson’s decision. The Appeals Court judges accused Judge Jackson of not being fair during the Microsoft Trial. They severely criticized him for comments he made about Microsoft and its chairman to reporters during the trial.The Federal Appeals Court also said Judge Jackson repeated these mistakes several times. Itsaid the public would lose its trust in a legal system that permits judges to speak their opinions to reporters during a trial.Legal experts say both the federal government and Microsoft can claim small victories with the Federal Appeals Court ruling. The experts say government lawyers were able to prove that Microsoft is guilty of violating federal laws. At the same time, Microsoft can claim a victory because it may not have to divide into two smaller companies.Legal experts say government lawyers and the lawyers for Microsoft must now choose one of three different possible paths. First, either side could appeal the Federal Court’s decision to the Supreme Court. Or, they could request a new trial before a different lower court judge to consider some of the unresolved legal questions. A third choice is for both sides to reopen negotiations to try to settle the case privately. Such efforts failed during the Clinton Administration.Bill Gates is the head of Microsoft Corporation. He says it is now a good time for all the groups involved to discuss the situation and see what kind of solution could be negotiated.Most legal experts believe that the Microsoft Company and government lawyers will come to an agreement during future negotiations. They say Microsoft may be punished by being forced to pay money.Task 7【答案】News Item 1A.1) It will send Destiny into Orbit.2) It is a scientific research laboratory.3) Destiny is the most technologically complex research center ever put into space.4) Over one billion dollars.5) It will last eleven Days.6) The will make three walks in space to attach the laboratory to the International Space Station’s Control Centre.News Item 2B.News Lead: The first laboratory has been connected to the International Space Station.1) launched, Wednesday, February 7th2) Destiny3) mechanical arm4) a linking device5) protective clothing, complete work【原文】News Item 1In space news. The space shuttle Atlantis has taken off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The spaceship will send the Destiny scientific research laboratory into orbit. The laboratory is an important part of the International Space Station. NASA officials say Destiny is the most technologically complex research center ever put into space. The laboratory has cost over 1,000,000,000 dollars to build. Space shuttle astronauts will make three walks in space during an eleven-day mission to attach the laboratory to the International Space Station’s Control Center. News Item 2The first laboratory has been connected to the International Space Station. The American space shuttle Atlantis was launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Wednesday, February 7th. It carried the new laboratory Destiny to the space station, which is orbiting Earth. Destiny is the first of six space laboratories that will be launched and added to the space station. The five crew members of Atlantis used the space shuttle’s huge mechanical arm to take the laboratory out of the shuttle. The arm carefully moved Destiny to a linking device on the International Space Station. Two members of the Atlantis crew put on protective clothing. They left the shuttle and moved out into space to complete work on the link.Task 8【答案】110 stories, employing, desks, collapse, figures, recovered, crashed, dead, searching, 800【原文】The World Trade Center is 110 stories high. Four hundred firms had offices there employing tens of thousands of people. When the planes hit, it’s thought between 10 and 20 thousand people would have been sitting at their desks.

In the Pentagon, the world’s largest office building, rescuers are still searching the rubble. It’s thought around 80 bodies there have been found but estimates of those who died could go up to about 800.Task 9【答案】A.released, number one, terrorist attack, The Rising【原文】Bruce Springsteen’s new a lbum was released July 30th. It is number one in record sales in more than ten countries. Most of its songs are about the September 11th terrorist attacks. Shep O’Neal plays some of the songs on the album, The Rising.“You’re Missing” is probably the sadde st song on The Rising. A woman’s husband has died. She and her children see the many things that belonged to him around the house, but he is gone.“Into the Fire” is about one of the hundreds of police, firefighters and rescue workers who died in the terrorist attacks. The song honors the love and sense of duty he showed that day. It is also a prayer for the strength and hope that his sacrifice represents.Songs on The Rising also express anger about the attacks. But, the anger is mostly a personal statemen t, not a political one. The song “Empty Skies” describes the desire to strike back that a person feels after a senseless loss.The album’s title song appeals to listeners to come together and heal each other. We leave you now with Bruce Springsteen’s hopeful title song, “The Rising.”Task 10【答案】News Item 1A.1) A four-year exhibition of the work of the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh has opened in Amsterdam.2) It is one of his early drawings in water color, pencil and ink, depicting a woman carrying a child along a windswept road.3) A German art dealer acting for an anonymous collector.4) In 1883.News Item 2B.movie industry, directing, editing, released, Oscar, metals, statue, weighs, priceless, offers, earning 【原文】News Item 1A four-year exhibition of the works of the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh has opened in Amsterdam with the unveiling of one of his early drawings which has only recently come to light; the drawing in water color, pencil and ink depicts a woman carrying a child along a windswept road. It was sent to the museum by a German art dealer acting for an anonymous collector.

It is shaped like a man. It is made of several metals covered with gold. The statue is only about 34 centimeters tall. It weighs less than four kilograms. But the award can be priceless to the person who receives it. Winning an Oscar can mean becoming much more famous. It can mean getting offers to work in the best movies. It also can mean earning much more money.Task 11【答案】News media are the means, or methods, by which people learn what is happening in their city, in their country, and in the world. The news can be classified into two general categories. The categories are print media and electronic media.Print media are usually divided into magazines and newspapers.

Because history professor are poorly prepared.B. Because most students are lazy to remember it.C. Because professors fail to present facts in aninteresting way.D. Because most students think that history is out offashion.2. A. In April, 1774. B. In April, 1775.C. In May, 1775.D. In April, 1776.3. A. That the British would attack by sea.B. That the British were retreating to the Charles River.C. That the British were willing to sign a Declaration ofIndependence.D. That the villagers would attack.4. A. popular history professor at university.B. A student studying the American Revolution.C. A famous silversmith during American IndependentWar.D. A soldier in the British Army.Many university students dislike studying history because there is little to get excited about when historical events are presented in a boring manner. However, I’ll never forget my American history professor Dr. Williamson. Each event leaped from the pages of our text as real as the daily news report on the radio.My favorite lecture concerned the American Revolution. Dr. Williamson set the mood for the storyby imitating Paul Revere, a well-known silversmith, working in his shop. The American colonists wereangry because of the British control over their lives. Revere felt that war between British and the colonistswas unavoidable. Then, Dr. Williamson told us about Revere rowing across the Charles River from Boston on April 18, 1775. I can see the professor now as he raised his hand to his forehead as if he were looking across the Charles River to the Old North Church in Boston. Suddenly, Revere saw two lanterns, a signal which meant that the British would attack by sea. He jumped on his horse to warn the villagers of the attack. Professor Williamson reminded us that the first battles of the American Revolution were fought at Concord and at Lexington, Massachusetts, the year before the Declaration of the Independence was signed in 1776. Never before had history seemed so alive to me, and all because a professor cared enough to put his heart into his teaching.Questions:1. Why does the speaker feel that most students dislike history?2. When were the first battles of the Revolution fought?3. What did the signal of the two lanterns tell Revere?4. Which statement about Paul Revere is true?Passage 25. A. Maths. B. Latin.C. Literature.D. French.6. A. He had a bad opinion of France.B. He disliked the long journey to France.C. He had never learned French and couldn’t speak toFrench leaders.D. He was just too busy to have any time to visit France.7. A. Washington’s schooling was short and incomplete for agentleman in his time.B. Early presidents like Jefferson received more formaleducation than Washington.C. Washington never regretted his lack of formal schooling.D. Washington didn’t feel comfortable in Congress debate.Some of the notebooks of young Washington’s are now kept in the museum. They show that he waslearning Latin and was fond of reading English novels. At school he seemed only to be interested in maths. In fact, his schooling was surprisingly short for a gentleman, and incomplete. Unlike other youngVirginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to college of William and Mary in the Virginian capital.He received less formal education than some other early American presidents such as Adams, Jeffersonand Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of formal training. He never feltcomfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had nothing to do with practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.Questions:5. What subject was young Washington interested in at school?6. Why did Washington never visit France?7. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Washington’s schooling?8. A. The way of improving reputations of colleges.B. The requirement for getting a 3-year degree.C. The power of credibility in human communication.D. The introduction of a 3-year degree at 4-year colleges.9. A. It would make students less prepared and capable.B. It would make students incapable of completinguniversity.C. It would develop bad habits of study among collegestudents.D. It would leave nothing to learn in the 4th year atcollege.10. A. The high reputation of the educators.B. The authority of the presidents.C. The appeal from the students.D. The good reputation of the presidents.At four-year colleges, should students be permitted to gain their degree in just three year?If you had asked this question a decade ago, the answer would have been “no”at almost all schools,but today, an increasing number of colleges are saying “yes”.What happened to change policy so dramatically?A decade ago, the presidents of two of the nation’s top schools—Stanford University and Oberlin College —announced their belief that American colleges should offer the three-year option. “There are some beautifully prepared people,”they argued, “who are quite capable of completing the material requiredfor the B.A. in three years.Before these men spoke, most US educators viewed the three-year degree as an absurd notion that would weaken students’preparation and competence. After the presidents spoke, many educators changed their minds.This remarkable turnaround was due to the high credibility enjoyed by the two presidents. Becausetheir personal reputation and the prestige of their schools, it’s believed that they were trustworthy. Andthat’s the power of credibility—a major source of persuasiveness in all human communication.Questions:8. What is the passage mainly talking about?9. Why did most US educators view the three-year degree as an absurd notion?10. What factor makes the three-year degree possible?Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.

In 1762 the first written record of the word “sandwich” appeared in the diary of the English author Edward Gibbons, who remembered seeing the wealthiest men in the country eating “a bit of cold meat” between pieces of bread. Gibbons did not think this was very appropriate behavior for such men. The snack was named after the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. Sandwich was a frequent gambler, and was so addicted to gambling that he would often refuse to stop even to eat meals! To avoid having to stop gambling, the Earl of Sandwich asked the cooks at his gambling club to prepare him a meal consisting of beef between two slices of bread, so that he always had one hand free to play cards and gamble, and his hands wouldn’t become dirty from the meat.When other men saw what he was eating, they began to order “The same as Sandwich!”, and so the sandwich was born — beginning as a snack for some of the wealthiest men in England! It quickly became popular and widespread as a quick and easy food to eat.16.B Where did the first written record of the word “sandwich” appear?A) In the diary of the Fourth Earl.B) In the diary of an English author.C) In the diary of a wealthiest man.D) In the diary of a gambler.17.C Whom was the word “sandwich” named after?A) A poor gambler.B) An English author.C) The Fourth Earl of Sandwich.D) The wealthiest man in England.18.D Why did the Fourth Earl of Sandwich ask the cook to make him sandwiches?A) B ecause the cook couldn’t make him anything but sandwiches.B) Because he didn’t feel like eating other food.C) Because he enjoyed eating sandwiches.D) Because he could play cards and eat his meals atthe same time.19-21Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. As British do not dine out every night of the week, eating in a restaurant is often seen as a special occasion. When going on a first date, or celebrating an anniversary or a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant to eat, and people often eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theatre. As in all cultures, there are many rules of etiquette surrounding food and eating in a restaurant. People are almostalways expected to eat with a knife and fork — these should be held in the correct hand and used in the correct way! It is also impolite to have your elbows on the dining table when you are eating.As well as dining in a restaurant, when people are too tired to cook after work they often get a “take-away”. This means that they order from a take-away restaurant by phone, and then go to collect it and take it home to eat. Many take-out restaurants also deliver to your house. Whilst you can normally find a take-out restaurant for almost any cuisine, the most popular are pizza, Indian and Chinese — and then all you have to do is open the door, pay and eat!19.C When do people in Britain usually go to restaurant?A) Every day.B) When they feel too tired to cook.C) When they celebrate a birthday or an anniversary.D) When they feel sick.20.D What does “take-away” mean?A) People order their food and restaurants deliver to their office.B) People order their food and eat in the restaurant.C) People order their food and eat outside the restaurant.D) People order their food from a restaurant by phone and take it home to eat.21.B What is this passage mainly about?A) Take-away restaurants in Britain.B) Restaurant culture in Britain.C) The popularity of eating in fancy restaurants in Britain.D) Rules of etiquette surrounding food and eating in Britain.22-25Food experts say it’s all too easy to lose the medical benefits of vegetables by boiling or freezing their nutrients away. Here are the best ways to prepare your vegetables —and how you can maximize nutrient levels through cooking. There are two ways that vegetables lose vitamins and minerals, says Anna Denny, a scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation. “The first is w hen nutrients get into water when boiled. The second is when they are broken down through heat. Obviously it is difficult not to heat vegetables, so the key is to heat them for a brief amount of time — two to three minutes at most.”If the vegetables are still crunchy when you eat them, then they’re probably still packed with nutrients. If they are tender and soft, they’re not. The best way to cook a vegetable is to steam it in a very small amount of water. Make sure that the water is hot to start with, so that the vegetables don’t have to be in the steamer for very long. The microwave may be seen as the most evil appliance in the kitchen, but microwaving is far better than boiling. Again, use only a tiny amount ofwater and heat for no more than three minutes.Stir-frying is a good way to cook vegetables. Don’t use too much fatty oil. The only vegetable you should boil is the potato, says Denny. If you absolutely have to boil your vegetables, you can consume their leached-out nutrients by keeping the water and using it to make fresh soup.22.A According to Anna Denny, how long should vegetables be cooked?A) Two to three minutes at most.B) Two to three minutes at least.C) Three minutes at least.D) No more than two minutes.23.C What is the best way to cook vegetables?A) Boil for five minutes.B) Stir-fry with fatty oil.C) Steam in small amount of water.D) Microwave in a lot of water.24.B What does Anna Denny say about the microwave?A) Microwave cannot be used to cook vegetables.B) Using microwave to cook vegetables is better than boiling vegetables.C) Microwave is the worst kitchen appliance.D) Microwaving is the best way to cook vegetables.25.D What is the passage mainly about?A) The medical benefits of vegetables.B) The benefits of eating vegetables.C) The best ways to cook potatoes.D) Better ways to cook vegetables.UNIT28-11W:Hello, Tom, I’m going to ask you some questions about pets.

They are superbly adapted for survival in the Far North.Polar bears range throughout the Arctic in areas where they hunt seals at openings in sea ice called leads. Five nations have polar bear populations: the United States, Canada, Russia, Greenland, and Norway. Polar bears are the world’s largest non-aquatic predators. They top the food chain in the Arctic, where they prey primarily on ringed seals. Adult male polar bears weigh from 775 to 1,200 pounds. A few weigh more than 1,200 pounds, but they would be exceptional. Females normally weigh 330 to 650 pounds. It’s not uncommon for female polar bears preparingto enter maternity dens in the fall to weigh over 600 pounds.Females usually bear two cubs. Single cubs and triplets also occur depending on the health and condition of the mother. Cubs stay with their moms for up to two and a half years.16.B What animal did polar bear evolve from?A) The sea bear.B) The brown bear.C) The white bear.D) The gray bear.17.D Which country does NOT have polar bear population?A) Canada.B) Russia.C) Greenland.D) Switzerland.18.C How much do adult female polar bears normally weigh?A) 330 to 630 pounds.B) 350 to 630 pounds.C) 330 to 650 pounds.D) 340 to 650 pounds.19-21Some people are cat people, while others are dog people. But regardless of which camp they fall into, most people are simply crazy about their pets. The connections people form with their cats and dogs are often the longest, strongest relationships in their lives. They are our soul mates, our best friends, sometimes even our surrogate children. What makes these creatures such key members of our families?Perhaps it’s because our furry friends have long provided us with comfort, camaraderie, and unconditional love. Cats and dogs are our unending source of kisses, cuddles, slobber, claws, and laughs. Watch as NATURE shares the stories of pet owners and their beloved animals. From a very special dog named Jerry, to a cat that saved a man’s life, Why We Love Cats and Dogs presents a portrait of some of the most powerful and remarkable connections we experience as humans — the unbreakable bonds with our pets.Four-time Emmy Award winner, filmmaker and director Ellen Goosenberg Kent kept the 10month production of NATURE’s Why We Love Cats and Dogs on the right track.

They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs. Now a study suggests that the animal known as man’s best friend can even find bladder cancer.Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual odors. Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these odors, even in very small amounts, in urine. The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans.The study follows reports of cases where, for example, a dog showed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The mole was later found to be skin cancer.A team of researchers in England trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer patients, from people with other diseases and from healthy people. In all, thirty-six bladder cancer patients and one hundred and eight other people took part. The study found that the dogs chose the correct sample twenty-two out of fifty-four times. That is almost three times more often than would be expected by chance alone.Researchers say dogs could help scientists identify the compounds produced by bladder cancer. That information could then be used to develop machines to test for the chemicals. The team also plans to use dogs toB) How to Find Bladder Cancer (膀胱癌)C) Dogs Can Cure Bladder CancerD) Dogs Can Smell Cancer23.A Why are dogs believed to be able to find cancer?A) Because dogs have a keen sense of smell.B) Because dogs have a keen sense of hearing.C) Because dogs have a keen sense of sight.D) Because dogs have a keen sense of intuition.24.B Which of the following is true about the findings of the research?A) Dogs showed strong interest in bladder cancer patients.B) Dogs had a high chance to identify urine collected from bladder cancer patients.C) Dogs were not able to identify urine collected from bladder cancer patients.D) Dogs had a higher chance to identify urine collected from bladder cancer patients than cats.25.D What could dogs help scientists do with cancer?A) Dogs could help scientists identify cancer patients.B) Dogs could help scientists identify all kinds of diseases.C) Dogs could help scientists identify reasons for cancer.D) Dogs could help scientists identify markers for cancer.Unit38-11W: When I first came to China, I was surprised to see so many people here riding a bicycle.

In European countries like Holland and Finland, lakes and rivers freeze over with ice during the winter. Skating was firstly the way to get across the lake, and gradually turned into a fun pastime and the sport of ice skating was born.At that time, animal bones were finely cut to form a sharp edge and attached to boots to use as ice skates. But the true realization of ice skating as a sport came with the use of the iron blades in skates. This was done in 1592.Better balance and easier movement across the ice made skating popular among people as a pastime. In 1642, the Skating Club of Edinburgh was created and in 1763, the first occurrence of a speed skating race took place in England. In 1889, the Dutch organized the first World Skating Championships, where speed skating was the main event with different track lengths. The growing popularity of the sport led to the creation of the International Skating Union in 1892. Finally a formal body existed for skating as a competitive sport.19.D Which sport is suitable for people with disabilities according to the passage?A) Wheelchair Tennis.B) Basketball.C) Hunting.D) All of the above.20.A How many teams are there playing wheelchair basketball?A) More than 100 professional teams.B) More than 110 professional teams.C) More than several national teams.D) More than 100 amateur teams.21.B Which is NOT true about National Ability Center?A) It belongs to the state of Utah.B) It teaches all kinds of sports to only physical disabled people.C) It teaches all kinds of sports to people with both physical and mental disabilities.D) It gives friends and family members a chance to try a sport as if they were disabled.22-25Skating on ice is a very old activity in regions with low temperatures and snowfall.

The US Dream Team is made up of NBA veterans — supposedly the best we have to offer — but they need a miracle to dig themselves out of a hole and come back at this point.Unfortunately for the Dream Team, their leading scorer, High-Fly Wilson, was ejected one minute into the second quarter after climbing into the stands and fighting with a spectator who had continually heckled Wilson for shooting three airballs in a row.Another unuaual moment came late in the second quarter when the Japanese center, Tomohiro Suzuki, suffered a concussion and was knocked out cold as he lunged for a ball and collided with the knee of one of his own teammates. There also have been several other injuries, including the loss of starting forward, Masa Harada.Some of the coaches on the US team are attributing the team’s slow performance to some raw fish they had last night while attending a banquet in their honor. Next thing we’ll know, they’ll be blaming their players’ cement hands on a demonstration class on Japanese paper folding earlier in the week. Who knows what’ll be next?OK, it looks like we’re ready for the second half.Task 6【答案】A.80 hectares, 470,000 square meters, 17,600, 760-hectare, 14, 15, less than a 30-minute driveB.1) It is located in the western part of the Village and consists of apartment buildings, dining halls, and other facilities.2) It is located in the eastern part of the Village and will provide leisure facilities and cultural activities for athletes.3) After the Games, it will become a residential area.【原文】Olympic VillageWith a land area of 80 hectares and a total building floor area of 470,000 square meters, the Olympic Village, located within the Olympic Green, will accommodate 17,600 athletes and team officials. A 760-hectare “Forest Park” will also be created within the Olympic Village.14 venues will be used to hold 15 sporting events within the Olympic Green. These venues are in walking distance from the Olympic Village. All other Olympic venues in Beijing will be less than a 30-minute drive from the Village.The Olympic Village will provide safe and comfortable facilities to help athletes achieve their peak performance during the Games. The Residential Quarter located in the western part of the Village consists of apartment buildings, dining halls, and other facilities. The International Quarter located in the eastern part of the Village will provide leisure facilities and cultural activities for athletes.After the Games, the Village will become a residential area.Task 7【答案】1) The sheer physical nature of football.2) The physical movement of the man: a man who can jump to a height and then get the power behind a ball with his head.3) Well-timed tackle and a ball hit well on the run.4) When you’ve played the game yourself, you can real ly appreciate the skills involved.【原文】Two football enthusiasts talk about what they appreciate about the game.Interviewer: When you… when you go to a match, what do you actually look for?

For example, I believe in Rugby when one person is sent off, generally there’s... there’s someone from the opposing side also sent off, and I think it’s fair to say that in most trouble spots there…there is more than one person involved.

In many cases, an athlete can turn to his or her teammates for support and encouragement. But in some sports, the performer competes as an individual. Winning or losing depends solely on the athlete’s own skill and effort.I asked several top performers in individual sports like gymnastics, skating, and track and field where they find the spark to keep going after a loss. Maybe their responses will be helpful to you, too.Siri Lindley is a top triathlete, competing in events that combine long-distance running, swimming, and cycling. “I try to use what I learn from each loss to make me stronger and more determined,” she says. “Then I pick my head up and start thinking positive and I visualize myself succeeding the next time. Let the losses make you stronger.”Allen Johnson won a gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles at the 1996 Olympics, but he knows that he can’t win every race. “When I don’t win, I have to accept the fact that I made a mistake or that someone was better on that day,” he says. “You can’t be the best every day, but you can be the best on some days.”Diver Mark Ruiz has won many national championships. “In my sport it is the little things that count,” he says. “Each dive must be done perfectly. If I don’t do well in a meet, it pushes me to practice that much harder. If I don’t feel motivated to practice, I remind myself that if I don’t train well, I don’t do well. So I go right back to working on all the small things.”Gymnast Shannon Miller has won several Olympic medals, including two golds. “If I make a mistake in the middle of a competition, I try to forget about it because I have to go on,” she says. “If I do poorly over the course of an entire meet, I go back to the gym and figure out what went wrong. It’s so important to learn from your mistakes.”Figure skater Michael Weiss is one of the best in his sport, but there have been a lot of spills along the way. “I look at failing as a part of growing,” he says.“When you lose and you are feeling down, without teammates to lift you up, you have to be strong enough to pick yourself up.”Task 11【答案】Title: Preventing Sporting Injuries1.

Don’t rely on you r thirst as an indicator of fluid depletion; try to drink consistently before and during your sporting activity. Continuing to drink after you have finished will ensure that weight lost through fluid depletion is replaced. Remember that alcohol and any drinks containing caffeine can led to increased dehydration.If you are outdoors, always remember to bring adequate sum protection, and try to avoid scheduling activities between 10 am and 2 pm, the hottest part of the day.Warning up, cooling downYou can help to reduce the risk of a serious sporting injury by warming up prior to exercise and taking time to cool down after your activity. Stretching prior to exercise helps to promote blood flow to your muscles, increasing flexibility and reducing the chance of getting a new injury or aggravating an old one.A gentle cool down period means you will experience less muscle stiffness and soreness. It also helps to remove waste products form muscles you have used during your activity, replacing them with nutrients and oxygen.Try not to overdo it when beginning a new activity; build on your fitness levels and set goals. knowing your limits means you have less chance of sustaining a sporting injury—a lack offitness increase your chance of experiencing a heat-related injury such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke.The right equipmentNo matter what sport you play, the correct footwear is essential to absorb the impact of movement as well as provide adequate support for your ankles and feet. This is especially important in sports where knee and ankle injuries are common, such as netball and football. To help avoid injury, protective equipment such as knee and elbow pads, helmets, gloves or shin pads may be helpful in many contact sports or sports where there is a risk of crashing.Treating an injuryWhile broken bones and severe sporting injuries, such as concussions, should be treated by a medical professional immediately, less serious sprains and strains can initially be helped by the RICE method.Rest — no exercise or stretching or quick movements.Ice —should be applied for at least 20 minutes as soon as possible after the injury, then every four hours while you are awake, for the next 48 hours. Crushed ice cubes in a wet tea towel or packets of frozen peas are ideal. Be careful to protect your skin from the ice with oil, a paper towel or a tea towel.Compress — use a firm crepe or elastic pressure bandage on the affected joint or limb.Elevate — keep the injured arm or leg up.Food and sportAllow between one and four hours for your food to digest before you participate in any sporting activity, longer if your sport involves running. the ideal meal prior to sport is low in fat and high in carbohydrates —carbohydrates increase your store of glycogen, which fuels the muscles, while a low-fat meal helps you avoid a bloated feeling that may affect your performance.Task 12【答案】Mr. Jones was very fond of climbing mountains, so one year he went to Switzerland for his holidays. After he had climbed some easy mountains, he decided one day to climb a more difficult one; but he did not want to go up it alone, so he found a good Swiss guide, who had often climbed that mountain.At first it was not a difficult climb, but then they came to a place which was not so easy. The guide stopped, turned round and warned Mr. Jones. “Be careful here,”he said, “This is a dangerous place. You can easily fall, and if you do, you will fall straight down a very long way. But,” he cont inued calmly, “if you do fall here, don’t forget to look to the right while you are going down. There is quite an extraordinarily beautiful view there — much more beautiful than the one you can see from here.”。

I have some experiments running that I need to check on before dinner.我有几个实验正在进行，晚饭前需要检查一下。
由此判断A应为正确答案。

6+64+ 15=85。

What do you need to know?W: Would you please tell me how many people there are in your family?M: Only two -- me and my wife. We don't have any children.W: So, two adults. Do you both work, Mr. Kam?M: Yes, we do.W: OK, I'll write that down under "Remarks" -- "both work". Now about your home.How big is it?M: It's a rather small flat, in Western. It's four hundred and eighty square feet.W: Four hundred and eighty. OK, I'll tick this box then. So you have a garden, Mr.Kam?M: No, there's no garden.W: No garden. Fine. Now you said that both of you work. Is somebody at home during the day?M: Well. Usually we are both out during the day. However, my wife sometimes works during the evening, so she's occasionally at home in the morning.W: In that case, I'll tick "No" for that question, and then, under "Remarks", I'll write "wife is at home some mornings". OK, then, what type of pet are you looking for?M: Well, I'd prefer a dog, but my wife thinks a cat is better, and she's the one who'll be taking care of it - I travel quite a lot, you see -- so we've decided to request a cat.W: We have a lot of cats that need homes, so I'm sure we can help you.M: Oh, good. We'd prefer a cat that isn't too big, if possible. And it's best if it isn't too energetic.W: OK, I'll write that in beside your request. "Not too big” and also "not too energetic". That's fine, Mr. Kam. Thank you for calling. I hope to contact you soon.M: Thank you. Bye.Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. What does the man want to do?(D) 细节题。
