The third group is those who prefer science articles and only 7% of the students are interested in reading articles about learning methods. (2) Most students are fond of reading news articles, because reading news is the best way to know the world outside and learn the fresh things. The story articles, through the fascinating story plot and vivid characters, give people a lot of imagination. Some students who love science will choose popular science articles, which can satisfy their curiosity for nature. As for the articles about learning methods, perhaps they are so dull and rigid that students can hardly take an initiative to read them.

Like most working people, I find time, or the lack of it, a never-ending frustration and an unwinnable battle. My every day is a race against the clock that I never ever seem to win. This is hardly a lonesome complaint. According to the families and work institutes, national study of the changing workforce, 55 percent of employees say they don’t have enough time for themselves, 63 percent don’t have enough time for their spouses or partners, and 67 percent don’t have enough time for their children. It’s also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestors returned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts and complained about how little time they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls. The difference is that the boss of animal hunting and the head of nut gathering probably told them to shut up or no survival for you. Today’s workers are still demanding control over their time. The difference is today’s bosses are listening. I’ve been reading a report issued today called “When Work Works”produced jointly by three organizations. They set up to find and award the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What is the speaker complaining about?17. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?18. Why does the speaker suggest all bosses read the report by the three organizations?16．A．The lack of time.B．The quality of life.C．The frustrations at work.D．The pressure on working families.正确答案：A 涉及知识点：听力17．A．They were just as busy as people of today.B．They saw the importance of collective efforts.C．They didn’t complain as much as modern man.D．They lived a hard life by hunting and gathering.正确答案：A 涉及知识点：听力18．A．To look for creative ideas of awarding employees.B．To explore strategies for lowering production costs.C．To seek new approaches to dealing with complaints.D．To find effective ways to give employees flexibility.正确答案：D 涉及知识点：听力听力原文：“Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get, the more you want to give,” Penelope Leachwon said. What she said proves to be true of my blended family. I was born in 1931.

Raising six children during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents’ relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later, a wonderful woman came into his life and they were married. She had two sons, one of them still at home. Under her influence, we became a blended family and a good relationship developed between the two families. She always treated us as if we were her own children. It was because of our other mother, Daddy’s second wife, that he became closer to his own children. They shared over 25 years together before our father passed away. At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother, Daddy’s first wife, attending his funeral. I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my step mother. When I asked her if she would object to mother attending Daddy’s funeral, without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied, “Of course not, honey. She is the mother of my children.”Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents’divorce?20. What brought the father closer to his own children?21.

Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died of a heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want-ads each day. Then one morning, as I was hanging a Going Out of Business sign at the greenhouse, the door opened and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for potted plants to place in the reception areas in offices. “I don’t know anything about plants,” she said, “I am sure in a few weeks, they’ll all be dead.”While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was racing. Perhaps as many as a dozen firms that recently opened offices in the new office park and there were several hundred more acres with construction under way. That afternoon, I drove up to the office park. By 6 o’clock that evening, I had signed contracts with 7 companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner’s family. Business is now increasing rapidly. And one day we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.

Main Street was always the heart of a town. This street was lined on the both sides with many 37 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. In addition, some shops offered 38 . There shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a change began to 39 place. Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parking places were 40 to shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the openspaces outside the city limits. Open space is what their car driving customers needed. And open space is what they got when the first shopping center was built. Shopping centers, or rather malls, 41 as a collection of small new stores away from crowded city centers. 42 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 43 areas to outlying malls. And the growing 44 of shopping centers led in turn to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. By the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 45 of the stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.［A］ designed ［F］convenience ［K］cosmetics［B］ take ［G］ services［L］started［C］ Early ［H］ fame ［M］downtown［D］ Attracted ［I］various ［N］available［E］ though ［J］ popularity ［O］ cheapness Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by making the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Art of FriendshipA) One evening a few years ago I found myself in an anxiety. Nothing was really wrong my family and I were healthy, my career was busy and successful -- I was just feeling vaguely down and in need of a friend who could raise my spirits, someone whowould meet me for coffee and let merant until the clouds lifted.I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in California, and got her voice mail. That's when it started to dawn on me -- lonesomeness was at the root of my dreariness. My social life had dwindled to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I'd been too busy to notice. Now it hit me hard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood, know everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.B) Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolation on one's health. But my concerns were more short-term. I needed to feel understood right then in the way that only a girlfriend can understand you. I knew it would be wrong to expect my husband to replace my friends: He couldn't, and even if he could, to whom would I then complain about my husband? So I resolved to acquire new friends -- women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the world a little bit just as I did. Since I'd be making friends with more intention than I'd ever given the process, I realized I could be selective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The down side, of course, was that I felt pretty frightened.C) After all, it's a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife that it is when you’re younger -- a fact woman I've spoken with point out again and again. As Leslie Danzig, 41, a Chicago theater director and mother, sees it, when you're in your teens and 20s, you're more or less friends with everyone unless there's a reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly due to proximity. Now there needs to be a reason to be friends. "There are many people I'm comfort-able around,but I wouldn't go so far as to call them friends. Comfort isn't enough to sustain a real friendship," Danzig says.D) At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I couldn't run up to people the way my4-year-old daughters do in the playground and ask, "Will you be my friend? Every time you start anew relationship, you're vulnerable again," agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of the Stress Institute, in Atlanta. "You're asking, 'Would you like to come into my life?' It makes us self-conscious."E) Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerability risk was actually pretty low. If someone didn't take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn't in junior high, when I might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I have amassed enough self-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.F) We're all so busy, in fact, that mutual interests -- say, in a project, class, or cause that we already make time for -- become the perfect catalysts for bringing us in contact with candidates for camaraderie. Michelle Meters, 35, a teacher and mother of two in Wausau, Wisconsin, says anew friend she made at church came as a pleasant surprise. "In high school I chose friends based on their popularity and how being part of their circle might reflect on me. Now's it's our shared values and activities that count." Meters says her pal, with whom she organized the church's youth programs, is nothing like her but their drive and organizational skills make them ideal friends.G) Happily, as awkward as making new friends can be, self-esteem issues do not factor in -- or if they do, you can easily put them into perspective. Danzig tells of the mother of a child in her son's pre-school, a tall, beautiful woman who is married to a big-deal rock musician. "I said to my husband, she's too cool for me,'" she jokes. "Iget intimidated by people. But once I got to know her, she turned out to be pretty laid-back and friendly." In the end there was no chemistry between them, so they didn't become good pals. "I realized that we weren't each other's type, but it wasn't about hierarchy." What midlife friendship is about, it seems, is reflecting the person you've become (or are still becoming) back at yourself, thus reinforcing the progress you've made in your life.H) Harlene Katzman, 41, a lawyer in New York City, notes that her oldest friends knew her back when she was less sure of herself. As much as she loves them, she believes they sometimes respond to is-sues in light of who she once was. An old chum has the goods on you. With recently made friends, you can turn over a new leaf.I) A new friend, chosen right, can also help you point your boat in the direction you want to go. Hanna Dershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los Angeles, found that a new acquaintance from work was exactly what she needed in a friend. In addition to。

Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. When did the incident occur?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item. Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It’s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators a fter an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years. Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.Many of the store group’s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report?4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so driverscould buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments. The idea has proved popular with customers ― they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.5. What change took place in Cairo recently?6. What helped bring about the change?7. Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions.

As I’m sure you al l know, Morrison is both a popular and a highly respected author, and it’s not easy to be both. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on the African-American experience ever written by anyone, and yet to call her an “African-American writer” doesn’t seem to do her justice. In many ways, she’s simply an American writer—and certainly one of our best.Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every major literary prize, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prizefor fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993.What makes Beloved unique is the skillful, sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of Blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with a sense of mysterious spirituality.We’ll be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work. I’m particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of race and gender in this book. Is it more important that Sethe, the main character, is black or that she’s a woman? Which contributes more to her being? What does Morrison tell us about both?Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we learn about Toni Morrison?17. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993?18. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character in Morrison’s novel Beloved?Passage TwoThe topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may think that gift-giving is a universal custom. But actually, the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot, and not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America, the rules are fairly simple. If you’re invited to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your country. Among friends, family, and business associates, we generally don’t give gifts on other occasions except on someone’s birthday and Christmas. The Ja panese, on the other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness.The tradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for everything from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the g ift presentation. And while Europeans don’t generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some formal customs when visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning.Today we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples. But let’s not miss the main point here: If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learn about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?20. What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?21. What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk? Passage ThreeHetty Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account. Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married EdwardGreen, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia. Hetty’s meanness was well known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son Ned fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg.When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?25. What do we learn about Hetty’s daughter?参考答案Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A1. B2. C3. A4. D5. D6. A7. C Section B8. D9. B10. B 11. C12. A13. B14. C15. DSection C16. A17. B18. D19. D20. C21.

This is a mystery that many people have carefully thought about. All kinds of myths surround the lives of well-known people. Most people are familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers of the 16th and 17th centuries. Yet how many know Shakespeare, the person, the man behind the works? After centuries of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare’s personal history. It is not easily found in his writings. Authors of the time could not protect their works. An acting company, for example, could change a play if they wanted to. Nowadays, writers have copyrights that protect their works. Many myths arose about Shakespeare. Some said he had no formal education. Others believed that he began his career by tending the horses of wealthy men. All of these myths are interesting, but are they true? Probably not. Shakespeare’s father was a respected man in Stratford-on-Avon, a member of the town council. He sent young William to grammar school. Most people of Elizabethan times did not continue beyond grammar school. So, Shakespeare did have, at least, an average education. Some parts of Shakespeare’s life will always remain unknown. The Great London Fire of 1666 burned many important documents that could have been a source of clues. We will always be left with many questions and few facts. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard. 16. What does the speaker say about William Shakespeare?17. What do we learn about Shakespeare’s father?18. Why does the speaker say parts of Shakespeare’s life will remain a mystery?16．A．There are mysterious stories behind his works.B．There are many misunderstandings about him.C．His works have no match worldwide.D．His personal history is little known.正确答案：D 涉及知识点：听力17．A．He moved to Stratford-on-Avon in his childhood.B．He failed to go beyond grammar school.C．He was a member of the town council.D．He once worked in a well-known acting company.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力18．A．Writers of his time had no means to protect their works.B．Possible sources of clues about him were lost in a fire.C．His works were adapted beyond recognition.D．People of his time had little interest in him.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：听力听力原文：Wherever you go and for whatever reason, it’s important to be safe. While the majority of people you meet when travelling are sure to be friendly and welcoming, there are dangers-theft being the most common. Just as in your home country, do not expect everyone you meet to be friendly and helpful. It’s important to prepare for your trip in advance and to take precautions while you are travelling. As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don’t want to get to your destination, only to find you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport isn’t valid anymore. Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travels, you will be able to get treatment. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have an international driver’s license. When you get to your destination, use official transport. Always go to bus and taxi stands. Don’t accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift. If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in. If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while travelling, make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside. Finally, remember to smile.

When Ratner took over his father’s chain of 130 jewelry shops in 1984, he introduced a very clear company policy. He decided that his shops should sell down-market products at the lowest possible prices. It was a great success. The British public loved his cheap gold earrings and his tasteless silver ornaments. By 1991, Ratner’s company had 2,400 shops and it was worth over 680 million pounds. But in April of that year, Gerald Ratner made a big mistake. At a big meeting of top British businesspeople, he stood up and explained the secret of his success. “People say ‘How can we sell our goods for such a low price?’I say ‘Because they are absolute rubbish.’”His audience roared with laughter. But the British newspapers and the British public were not so amused. People felt insulted and stayed away from Ratner’s shops. Sales fell and six months after his speech, Ratner’s share price had fallen by 42%. The following year, things got worse and Gerald Ratner was forced to resign. By the end of 1992, he lost his company, his career and his house. Even worse, 25,000 of his employees had lost their jobs. It had been a very expensive joke.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What did Gerald Ratner decide to do when he took over his father’s shops?23.

TranslationPart I Writing (30 minutes)1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Private Schools in China. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese: 1. 我国私立学校的现状。

2．私立学校受欢迎的原因。

3．私立学校可能带来的副作用。

正确答案：Private Schools in China Nowadays more and more private schools are being set up in China, which ends the state monopoly of the country’s educational system. Although private schools are still on the experimental stage and are much more expensive as compared with the public schools, there is no lack of application for enrolment. People welcome private schools for good reasons. First of all, those schools are relieving our government of part of the burdens of financing so many schools. Secondly, parents are willing to send their only child to better schools even if it costs more. And having more money than the government-funded public schools, those private schools can attract better teachers. They can also offer better environments including superior living facilities and mere advanced teaching equipment. However, adequate money doesn’t guarantee good education. If not well-guided and properly disciplined, the privileged young children might turn out to be new aristocrats, and therefore unfit for our highly competitive modern society.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions attached to the passage.

Getting there’s half the fun, as the old saying goes. With an international driving licence, a road map and a good set of wheels, you are your own guide, and the journey is personal. Stopping to take in not-in-the-guidebook sites or unexpected scenery and exploring out-of-the-way villages can be done without the pressure of mass tourism. Here we present a trio of great driving trips from three countries: in Australia from Darwin to Ayers Rock; in Vietnam from Hanoi to Halong Bay; and in England through Devon and Cornwall. CRUISING INTO THE RED CENTRE The Stuart Highway, which stretches like a long black ribbon 1,500 km through theNorthern Territories--from Darwin in the “Top End”to Alice Springs in the “Red Centre”--passes through one of the most rugged landscapes on earth. Waterfalls, canyons, open savanna and grasslands are scattered with ghostlike gum trees and rock formations resembling a moonscape lining the highway. Fill the car with fuel, stock up on plenty of water, slip a Yothu Yindi CD in the sound system and drive. Before hopping on Stuart Highway, head east for Kakadu National Park, one of the world’s most stunningly varied tropical environments as well as the spiritual home of Gagudju, an aboriginal (土著的) group who have lived in the park for more than 25,000 years. Some aboriginal rock paintings date back to beyond 35,000 years. Saltwater crocodiles that grow up to 25 feet also live in the park, so tourists are wise to obey the warning signs. In the Northern Territories drivers should be wary of wandering kangaroos, camels(Australia has more than Saudi Arabia), donkeys and wild horses. Convenient stops can be made every 100 to 200 km for fuel and the infamous Aussie meat pie. Accommodations are plentiful, but nothing beats night out camping under the southern stars. One stop worth making: Pine Creek, an 1870s mining town where you can still pan for gold. Farther south, the atmosphere of Alice Springs reflects its red-gold surroundings. Nearby are two very different attractions, the unlikely Chateau Hornsby Winery and the Virginia Camel Farm, where guests can swap (交换) their cars for camels. About 6 hours’ drive from Alice Spring is Ayers Rock (Uluru in aboriginal language), Australia’s most famous natural landmark and one of the most important sacred sites for aboriginal people. DRIVING OUT TO TIME Vietnam has plenty to offer to the road-tripping traveler, but the countryside’s sometimes difficult driving conditions--and a scarcity of road signs--mean that driving yourself isn’t necessarily the best option. The solution: hire a car and driver. “We’ll do the driving--you ask lots of questions,” says Bui Tuan Ngoc of the Huong Hai Tourist Co. , which takes the visitors on a drive-sail excursion (游览) that provides a unique glimpse of Northern Vietnam. On the four-hour drive from Hanoi to Halong Bay, travelers pass through tranquil scenes that have changed little in hundreds of years. Men and women wearing conical hats to ward off (避开，挡住) the sun toil with bent backs in rice fields that change color with the seasons. Several villages along the way--Bat Trang is one--display traditional pottery at the roadside. Try your hand at bargaining for items such as plates, bowls and laughing Buddhas which are molded, fired and hand-painted using methods dating from the 16th century. At Halong Bay, the blood-red sails of the Huong Hai (Chinese-style) junk unfurl (展开) and the boat makes its way past bizarre karst (石炭岩地区常见的地形) formations and caves, grottoes and waterfalls. Legend says that Halong’s 3,000 islands were created when a dragon split mountains into pieces with its tail to prevent an enemy pursuing Vietnamese boats. In each of Halong Bay’s many coves small fishing boats offer crabs (螃蟹), prawns (对虾) and red snapper. Days on board are spent swimming, snorkeling, kayaking or lazing on deck watching red sails flap in the warm breeze. As dusk falls guests can try their hand at fishing for squid or simply relax in the moonlight as the limestone cliffs turn into centurions to guard over their sleep. TRA VELING A WORLD AWAY Few things in life are better for rejuvenating (使年轻) soul than a touch of moorland (高沼地) magic.About three hours southwest of London--and a world away from its hectic pace--the traveler arrives in a part of the West Country still haunted by the ghost of King Arthur. Here, you’ll find some of the finest stretches of unspoiled countryside in England, from the rolling hills cloaked in purple heather and yellow gorse to the magnificent, cliff studded coastline. Devon and Cornwall are the most southwesterly counties of England, famous for their rural fishing villages and mystical legends. Without ever raking you any farther than 35 miles from the sea, a cobweb (蜘蛛网) of roads links farming villages that have changed little in 500 years, seaside towns such as Penzance and Torquay and imposing castles, cathedrals (大教堂) and abbeys (修道院). Torquay, on the “English Rivers”is one of England’s most popular seaside resorts. Agatha Christie lived here and used many of the town’s settings in her widely read mysteries. To the West, Plymouth still retains the site where Sir Francis Drake played bowls before defending Britain against the Spanish Armade. From its oldest section, the Barbican, the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for America on the Mayflower on Sept. 6, 1620. A bit farther south, the Cornish fishing village of Mousehole, once a major port, retains the unspoiled charm of centuries past. Visitors should try the off-the-calorie-scale cream teas or value-for-money pub lunches accompanied by glasses of West Country cider (苹果酒). Drive north along the east coast and find the Big Sheep at Bideford, a working family farm turned wacky tourist attraction that combines traditional rural crafts such as sheepdog trialing and cheese making, with novelties like sheep racing. End your journey by heading inland toward Exeter; just south of the city, Powderham Castle near the River Exe is set in the middle of an ancient deer park, the setting for the movie “The Remains of the Day.”If you find yourself at the end of your day, head back to Exeter for a stay at the Hite Hart, a 15th-century inn that is said to have stabled Oliver Cromwell’s horses--and where you can now garage your car.2．It is wise for tourists to obey the warning signs when they visit Kakadu National Park.A．YB．NC．NG正确答案：A3．Drivers don’t have to watch out for wandering kangaroos, camels, donkeys and wild horses when they drive in the Northern Territories in Australia.A．YB．NC．NG正确答案：B4．The aboriginal group Gagudju in Kakadu National Park has evolved fast these years.A．YB．NC．NG正确答案：C5．There are sufficient road signs in the countryside of Vietnam, so tourists can drive themselves.A．YB．NC．NG正确答案：B6．The methods the villagers of Bat Trong use to mold, fire and hand-paint pottery can date back to 16th century.A．YB．NC．NG正确答案：A7．Devon and Cornwall are famous for castles, cathedrals and abbeys.A．YB．NC．NG正确答案：B8．Agatha Christie lived in Penzance and used many of the town’s. settlngs in her widely read mysteries.A．YB．NC．NG正确答案：B9．Australia’s most famous natural landmark and one of the most important sacred sites for aboriginal people is ______.正确答案：Ayers Rock10．In each of Halong Bay’s many coves, guests can try their hand at ______, as dusk falls.正确答案：fishing for squid or simply relax in the moonlight11．The Cornish fishing village of Mousehole was once ______.正确答案：a major portPart III Listening Comprehension (35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

A new device could stop motion sickness by suppressing some signals in the brain. Now, scientists at Imperial College London are working on a device to counteract motion sickness. The device sends a weak electrical current through electrodes placed on a person’s head. The electric current appears to cause the brain to suppress signals that affect the inner ear. The scientists found that “it took longer for the individual to develop motion sickness and that they also recovered faster.”The next step is to test the device outside the laboratory. There are no reports of unwanted side effects from the small amounts of electricity released by the device. The researchers hope a device that plugs into a smart phone and attaches to the head will be available within 10 years. Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3. How does the new device stop motion sickness?4.

It is the busiest shopping day of the year. Retailers make the most money this time of year, about 20 percent to 30 percent of all revenue all year. In an era of instant information, more and more people will shop online. Shoppers can use their mobile phones to find deals. Nearly 80 percent of this year’s holiday shoppers, or about 183.8 million people, will shop on Cyber Monday, says the NRF. More than half of all holiday purchases will be made online, they say. One-in-five Americans will use a tablet or smart phone. NBC News reported that for many, shopping online was “a more comfortable alternative”than crowded malls.

In addition to the laws governing marriage that each nation establishes, marriage customs have grown up to vary widely from country to country. Anthropologists have studied and written about the numerous marriage ceremonies and customs that exist throughout the world. Let’s see some of the customs and the reasons for their existence in the United States. In the United States, once they meet certain legal age and medical requirements, people are free to choose their own mates. Once a couple has decided to get married, the man customarily gives the girl a diamond ring. The use of a ring comes from the ancient custom of using a ring to seal an important agreement that they will be loyal to each other forever. When the wedding day is decided upon, the girl sends wedding announcements or invitations. Friends then send wedding gifts to the girl’s home. On the wedding day, it’s supposed to be bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other before the wedding. Another old tradition that many people believe will bring good luck to the marriage is for the bride to wear “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue”.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we know about marriage according to the passage?17. Why does a man give a diamond ring to a woman when they decide to get married?18. What shouldn’t a bride do before the wedding in the United States?16．A．Its customs vary from one country to another.B．It is arranged by parents in some countries.C．It has nothing to do with religion.D．It requires equal status in many countries.正确答案：A 涉及知识点：听力17．A．To follow the ancient custom.B．To make an agreement on loyalty.C．To express his love.D．To make the girl happy.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：听力18．A．Accept a ring from the groom.B．Prepare something old.C．Meet the groom.D．Send invitations to friends.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力听力原文：The National Association of Colleges and Employers collects information on the college job market. NACE’s latest survey in March found that employers expected to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last year. It also showed that just 1/5 of those who looked for jobs before graduation have got a job by now, which is compared to half of the students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. Engineering and Accounting graduates were more likely to have started their job hunting and to get a job. And these two are among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. So how can students increase their chances for a job? Ella at NACE says the most effective tool is a school’s career counseling centre. Counselors can help students with job applications and preparing for interviews. They also let students know about job openings and events like job recruitment fairs. They can also help first-year students decide what to study. Another way to look for a job is to do an internship. This is when a student gets experience in a position that may or may not be paid. The latest NACE survey found that 73% of the graduates who did get jobs had completed an internship. The group reported in March that employers expected to increase hourly wage offers for college interns by 5% from last year. But, because of the economy, employers reduced the number of internships available by 21%. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What is the speaker mainly talking about?20. What can be inferred from NACE’s latest survey?21.

It is the body’s first barrier to infection. It keeps out many harmful bacteria and other things. It also keeps all the things we need in our bodies. The skin helps control body temperature. Glands on the skin release fluid to cool the body when it gets too hot. When a person gets too cold, blood passages in the skin become narrow. This helps trap heat inside the body. Like other organs of the body, skin can also have problems. Almost any teenager can tell you the most common disorder: acne, which is connected to hormones and how they affect the oil glands of the skin. Some people think eating chocolate or oily foods causes acne. Others blame dirty skin or nervous tension. Yet researchers tell us none of these causes acne. And skin experts say there are simple ways to help prevent acne. One is to touch your face as little as possible, so as not to add oils or put pressure on the skin. Another good idea is to avoid the urge to burst pimples. This can leave permanent marks on the skin. Doctors also say you should avoid strong cleaning products, and be gentle as you wash and dry your skin. However, there are kinds of skin problems which are far more serious than acne.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What message does the speaker want to convey at the beginning of the passage?23. What causes acne according to the researchers?24. Which is the right way to prevent acne?25.
