My name’s Jon Anderson.JANICE: Yes, Mr Anderson. What sort of thing were you looking for?JON: Two-bedroomed house with garden.JANICE: Well... yes, sir, that shouldn’t be any problem... just to let you know that ourmain areas, the main areas we deal with, are the city centre itself... 【Q1】JOS: City centre.., uh-huh.JANICE: And the north suburbs.JON: Oh well.., we were most interested in the Northern areas actually.JANICE: Right... yes... What sort of price were you thinking of?JON: Well... could you give me some idea?JANICE: Certainly. It really ranges from ￡250 per month. 【Q2】JON: Only ￡250?JANICE: Yes, to about ￡500 depending on a number of different factors.JON: What does it depend on?JANICE: Well, obviously the quality of the area. And then whether there’s a garden. 【Q3】JON: Well, as I said, we’d want a garden.JANICE: And a garage pushes up the price.JON: Right... well, we wouldn’t necessarily need one. I think about ￡350 a month would be our limit.JANICE: OK. Well... would you like to have a look at a couple of properties, sir?JON: Yes, that’d be great.JANICE: Looking at our files... I think we’ve got two which might suit you...JON: Hang on. I’ll just get a pen. Right.JANICE: OK.

And what about a deposit? 【Q10】JANICE: That’s one month’s rent, whatever the amount is.JON: OK. One month. Is that it?JANICE: No, sorry, one more.., you will have to pay for the contract.JON: Oh yes.

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

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

I made an appointment to see you at 10 o’clock. I’m a little early. Is that OK?A: No problem. We’re not very busy at the moment. You said on the phone that you weren’t happy with your accommodation and were thinking of changing.S: That’s right.A: May I ask what the problem is exactly?S: To be honest, there’s more than one problem. The main problem is that the accommodation is further than I imagined from the university.A: I see. And the other problem or problems?S: The other problem is that the landlady is quite a heavy smoker. I’m a non-smoker, and I’m afraid that I find it quite unpleasant.A: I’m sorry about that. Weren’t you given the option of accommodation With smokers or non-smokers?S: I’m afraid that’s really my fault. I don’t mind light smokers, but I didn’t get my accommodation organised very much in advance, so most of the accommodation had gone by the time I applied. However, a friend told me that there is sometimes accommodation ... er ... you know ... er ... accommodation becomes available mid-term because some people leave the university or change their place ... er ... the place where they live, so I thought maybe ...A: I see. Yes, it is important to arrange accommodation well in advance, though it isn’t always possible. However, your friend was correct. We do get some accommodation available mid-term. Just give me a minute to find your details on the computer....S: Yes, of course.A: Now, your current address is 43 Parkway Drive, isn’t it?S: Yes.A: Yes, that’s a fair way away. The bus connection isn’t too good either, is it?I think that it would be better to focus on that as the reason for moving, rather than the smoking issue. However, I will change the information in the computer to say that this accommodation is only suitable for smokers or people who don’t mind heavy smokers. That way we can avoid similar problems in the lucre.S: That sounds like a good idea.A: Now, the good news is that there is plenty of accommodation available nearer the university. The bad news is that it is more expensive.S: That’s OK. I expected that. Is there any catered or self-catering university accommodation available? That would be ideal.A: I thought you might be interested in that. The day after you phoned, a place became available. It’s catered, so it’s the most expensive type of accommodation, but it’s yours if you want it.S: There’s no self-catering accommodation available?A: Not at the moment. Something could become available at any time, but, then again, you might have to wait weeks.S: I understand. Can I just check the cost?A: It’s ￡37.50 per week. You also have to pay ￡23.15 during the Christmas and Easter holidays, regardless of whether you are there or not. That sum doesn’t include meals during those periods.S: But summer holidays are not included?A: That’s right. Students are permitted to stay in university accommodation during holidays but they usually have to move to a different flat.S: I see. And do I paymonthly? A: Yes, but don’t worry if you’re a few days late. It happens quite often and we don’t mind too much.S: Can I see a picture of the accommodation? A: Sure .... It looks like this. You can see that there is a single bedroom for each student and a common living room and bathroom. There are no cooking facilities, but many students buy a microwave.S: Can you tell me anything about the people I’d be living with?A: There are two girls there. One is British and one is Indian. They are studying law and marketing respectively. They’re the same age as you, 20. And they’re not smokers!S: That sounds perfect. If I don’t give my landlady a month’s notice, she gets to keep the deposit, doesn’t she?A: That’s normally stated in the rental agreement, yes. I’d like to be able to keep this university accommodation available, but I’m afraid I can’t. If someone else wants it and takes it ...S: I understand. I’ll take it. Can I move in on the first day of next month?A: What day is it today? 22nd. Yes. That should be fine. Give me a minute to print out the standard rental agreement ...SECTION 1 Questions 1-10Questions 1-4Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR NUMBERS for each.1．Martina Bila’s appointment with the accommodation officer is at ______.正确答案：ten/10 o’clock2．Martina’s current accommodation is ______ from the university than she expected.正确答案：further3．The landlady is a ______.正确答案：heavy smoker4．The ______ to the university isn’t good.正确答案：bus connectionQuestions 5-7Choose the correct answer, A, B, C or D.5．Martina is looking for ______.A．catered accommodation.B．self-catering accommodation.C．a place with a landlady.D．catered or self-catered university accommodation.正确答案：D6．The accommodation officer received details of some accommodation ______.A．the day before Martina made the appointment.B．the day Martina made the appointment.C．the day after Martina made the appointment.D．the day before he met Martina.正确答案：C7．When does the accommodation officer think other accommodation will be available?A．In the next few days.B．In the next few weeks.C．Not for along while.D．He doesn’t know.正确答案：DQuestions 8-10Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR NUMBERS for each.8．How much do students pay for catered accommodation during term time?正确答案：￡37.509．What nationality are Martina’s new flatmates?正确答案：British (and) Indian10．What will Martina lose?正确答案：(her) deposit听力原文：Presenter: Welcome everybody. Are you all sitting comfortably? My name is David Price and this is our first meeting in a series of presentations called “Countdown to Departure”. I know that you have just arrived here for your year-long course prior to going abroad, but it is certainly worth taking the time to consider ... to think about events that will take place a year, or almost a year, from now. I have handed out this useful guide to planning your time abroad. Please follow the suggested timetable closely. It is vital that you get each thing done on time. If you can get things done earlier than we suggest in the guide, that’s great, but certainly don’t leave them later than we recommend. If you do not get these things done on time, it could jeopardise your study abroad or at least delay it by a year. Now, we are currently one year from departure, so you should start applying for post-graduate programmes and scholarships immediately--if you haven’t already. Consult your tutors for further advice on these points. You should also calculate a rough estimate of your study and living expenses and consider how to pay for them. We’ll be looking at that in more detail during the next meeting. You should start arrangingaccommodation abroad as soon as you have accepted a place on a course. Arranging accommodation can be a rather bureaucratic procedure and can take a while. At the same time, ask the university about your options for paying your fees. The next point on your timetable is six months before you leave. At that point; you need to check your passport and, if you are going to need a new one, deal with that immediately. Remember that your passport might need to be valid for the whole of the period you intend to be abroad, but that you can often renew your passport at your embassy in the country where you are studying. In any ease, your passport needs to be valid for at least six months after you enter the country where you intend to study. It might seem unnecessary to get your passport in order so early before you go, but remember that you have to get your visa as well. You should do that around six months before leaving too. Bear in mind one final, simple, point. Make sure that your passport has a few empty pages left for visas and stamps. Two or three months before departure, you should ask your bank about the options for transferring money to the country you’ll be studying in and setting up a bank account there. You should also start looking at booking your flight to the country you’ll be studying in, in order to get the best rates. The cost of flights varies considerably from carrier to carrier, and even between different travel agencies, and depend a lot upon the time of year you are flying. Booking in advance can save you a considerable sum of money. When you book your flight, you should check with the airline or travel agent to find out what your baggage allowance is. At the same time look into booking your other travel within the country you’re going to from the airport where you will arrive. Don’t forget to buy travel insurance when you book any flights. Finally, still two or three months before departure, make sure that you have an unconditional letter of acceptance from the university you’re going to attend. This is vital as it facilitates entry clearance if into the country. Next, about one month before leaving, find out whether you will be entitled to receive free health treatment in the country you are going to and find out how much you will have to pay if not. Look into arranging health insurance if necessary. Also buy currency and travellers’ cheques to cover your first few weeks in the country. Watch the exchange rates and pick a good time, but do not leave it too late. If you are buying travellers’cheques or a large amount of money or currency, your bank may need a while to arrange this. Another thing to do is to find out what you can take into the country and what items are prohibited. Finally, find out whether your home insurance-policy will cover your belongings while they are abroad. If not, arrange suitable insurance or look into the possibility of arranging a policy in the foreign country. The last point on this timetable is two weeks before you leave. At this time, you need to do two things. One is to ask your doctor to write a letter explaining any prescription medicines--what they are and why you are taking them. The second is to request a reference letter from your bank in your own country as this will help you to open a bank account abroad. Now, let’s take a closer look at ...SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11-12Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.11．What is the title of the series of presentations that David Price will make?正确答案：Countdown to Departure12．What item has David Price given each student?正确答案：(a) guideQuestions 13-14Decide which TWO things David Price recommends doing 1 year before going abroad.

Come in. You said on the phone that you had a few problems to discuss with me. Tell me what they are and I’ll see what I can do to help.Dinesh: Thank you very much, professor. I’ve been having some problems adapting to the style of learning at a British university and was hoping you could give me some advice.Professor: I’ll do my best. You won’t be the first overseas student to have problems. What’s your first problem?Dinesh: Well, my first problem is organising my time. I mean, after I worked out my timetable for lectures, seminars and tutorials, I was surprised to find that I had quite a lot of free time. However, that’s how it looked on paper and not as it has turned out in reality.Professor: I see. Take control of this time and organise it carefully. Time that is not organised can disappear very quickly, leaving you rushing to catch up on your work or even running out of time altogether. Learn the essentials of time management. First, make weekly or monthly plans that set out your study targets for the week or month ahead. Schedule time for reading, and work out roughly how much you want to read in each session. Plan time to research and write your essays or prepare projects, so that you do not have to stay up late doing them at the last minute. Have you made such a plan?Dinesh: No, I haven’t. That’s obviously something I should do. I can easily fill that free time with extra studies.Professor: No, no. That’s not what I mean. Don’t plan to spend all your extra time studying. Remember to leave some time free for hobbies, sports, seeing friends or simply relaxing. If you do not take time to enjoy yourself, your work will suffer and you will miss out on many other worthwhile experiences. Make a timetable for your free time, if you like. Plan when to see your friends, play your favourite sport, or just hang out. Don’t forget to revise your plans if you need to. As you progress through your course, you will get a better idea of how much time you need for different activities. Adjust your schedules and keep them realistic.Dinesh: So, you’re saying that I need to keep a balance between work and play and keep an eye on things to make sure that I’m not doing too much or too little.Professor: That’s right. Feel free to show me your plan when you’ve made one.Dinesh: Thank you. My next problem is coping with my course. Living abroad in a new environment makes studying more challenging than usual. I’m worried about my progress and about howI will cope with examinations.Professor: These concerns are natural, but do not let them overwhelm you. Here are two simple ways you can stay in control of your studies. First, ask for regular meetings with your tutor--in your case, that’s me--to review your progress and discuss any problems. You’re doing that now, so you’ve taken the first step. Let me know if you are having any language difficulties, though in your case that seems doubtful. As you are probably aware, there is a language centre here where all students can use language-learning materials, but it’s probably not of much use to you. Second, why not try to form a mutual support group with other international students to discuss common challenges and to share useful ideas? This can be particularly helpful if you find the teaching methods very different from those you have experienced before. Another type of support group could, be other students in your subject area--get together with students on similar courses to discuss the issues, swap ideas and give each other support.Dinesh: Yes. The second idea is particularly good. As you know, there are not so many overseas students on this course, but I know some other students from my country on other courses here. I think that I feel overwhelmed because I have set myself unrealistic goals. Just talking to you has made me realise that I need to take a more realistic approach and put my problems into perspective.Professor: Just remember that whatever concerns you may have--about new learning methods, managing your time, or handling your workload--there is someone here who can help. I’m happy to be that person. All you have to do is ask. Hopefully, I can offer you a practical solution.Dinesh: Thank you very much. There is one other thing. When we had the orientation, the International Student Advisor mentioned a book that’s available from the campus bookshop. It’s not specifically for overseas students, but she said it was useful. I didn’t write it down. You wouldn’t happen to know the book I mean, would you?Professor: I know it. I recommend it. It’s called Learn How to Learn, by David Warner. I’m popping over to the bookshop myself now. Perhaps we could go together?SECTION 3 Questions 21-30Questions 21-23Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.21．What was the student surprised to discover he had a lot of?正确答案：flee time22．What does the student need to learn the fundamentals of?正确答案：time management23．On what basis should the student prepare his schedules?正确答案：weekly or monthlyQuestions 24-26Complete the following notes using only ONE word for each gap.Professor’s suggestions:——make a plan for your studies——make a plan for your free time——【24】______ plans if necessary——see how much timeyou need for’ activities as you 【25】______ with your studies——keep schedules balanced and 【26】______.24．【24】正确答案：revise25．【25】正确答案：progress26．【26】正确答案：realisticQuestions 27-30Choose the correct answer, A, B, C or D.27．The professor points out that the university language centre ______.A．would certainly be useful for the student.B．is likely to be useful for the student.C．is available for students.D．has a wide range of materials.正确答案：C28．The professor suggests that the student ______.A．join the support group for students on his course.B．join the support group for students from his country.C．identify problems that people from his country have in Britain.D．create a support group.正确答案：D29．The student says that ______.A．he doesn’t know anyone on his course.B．he doesn’t know the overseas students on his course.C．there are no people from his country on his course.D．there are few overseas students on his course.正确答案：D30．The International Student Advisor recommended a book ______.A．but didn’t say the title clearly.B．but couldn’t remember the title.C．for all students.D．for overseas students.正确答案：C听力原文：Lecturer: Part of the role of university education is to prepare students for their professional life and career. Part of this preparation is to introduce and train students in life long learning--preparing them to approach their career as a continuous learning experience, rather than assuming that the end of their university education represents an end goal beyond which there is no need for further learning. Therefore students are encouraged to develop as independent learners. An independent learner is one who takes responsibility for his or her own learning and is not always dependent on teacher being available to guide and correct. Such a student sets their own learning goals, makes their own decisions as to when and how to study for these goals, and also evaluates their own progress and develops further goals. This is not always easy for students, particularly those whose secondary education has been very teacher focussed, with teaching conducted mainly in lecture format and with little opportunity for the students to take any control of the learning process. At university, while much teaching is conducted via lectures, students are expected to become increasingly independent in their learning. Departments approach this issue in a number of ways. For example, they might provide personal mentors. This could be a student or a member of staff who is available to discuss problems that the student might have and who will support the student in the process of becoming an independent learner. The second one requires the student to’make certain choices about their course, either in the elements they choose to learn or in the way in which they choose to learn them. Thirdly, there is the provision of learning opportunities outside the confines of the campus, including study trips and student exchanges. In the English Language Centre, we try to help the development of learner independence. This English Language Centre is a self-access one. A self-access centre is a place where learners come voluntarily to improve the subject that they are studying. In the case of the English Language Centre we focus on English language. In a self-access centre it is the student who decides what to study, when to study, how long to study, what materials to use, how to use the materials, and how to assess effectiveness. The learner is not, however, left totally alone. Learners are encouraged to come to the centre in groups, so that they can help each other in the learning process and there is also always an English teacher available to answer any questions that students might have, to discuss their progress, and to help the learner assess their work. Let’s take an example. Mary and her friend Jim have decided they need to improve their report writing skills. They decide to go to the ELC twice in the next week, for two hours each time, from five o’clock to seven o’clock. The first thing they do is to talk to the English teacher there, to help them identify what particular elements of writing a report they find especially difficult. Having done this, they identify suitable books, videos, or computer programs from the index, With help from the teacher if needed. Looking at the materials, they decide which to use first, and how to best to use it. Working through the materials, they discuss problems with each other, compare notes and evaluate each other’s work and progress. This process ofworking together is important, as the students are able to support each other in the learning process. Of course, sometimes they need more help and so they ask the English teacher at the centre. When they have finished their studies, they review what they have studied, with help from their notes, and evaluate the extent to which they have, or have not, achieved their initial aim. In the light of this, they will decide to either do more work on the same topic, or move to another topic, either related to this one or something completely different. There are many ways students can improve their English independently of a teacher. Firstly, they can use English language videos in conjunction with learning activities such as exercises to practise particular listening skills, questions to lead discussion on the topic introduced by the video. They can do follow-up tasks that use the content of the video to focus on other language skills, such as learning vocabulary or understanding the grammar used by the characters in the video. Secondly, they can use a computer programme to improve their pronunciation, by identifying, and then practising, the individual sounds used in English. Thirdly, they can use a book to find a model business letter, for example, writing one of the same type, but with different information, and then discussing it with the ELC teacher before finally re-writing it. Finally, they can use newspapers or magazines as stimuli for discussion activities with a brief report written at the end, summarising the discussion. However, the development of an independent learner is not dependent on a centre like the ELC. Within the university, as well as within individual departments, the library, the Student Affairs Office and the Student Union all provide a range of opportunities for the student to develop as an independent learner. Outside the campus the opportunities are both physical and virtual. The physical ones include libraries, museums and other centres, as well as various special interest groups. In the virtual world of the Internet the opportunities are both global and vast. To conclude, in a world in which change is central to our continued survival, the professional must have the adaptability and flexibility of a life long learner. A life long learner must be an independent learner, able to take responsibility for all stages of the learning process. It is the student’s responsibility to take advantage of the various opportunities on offer.SECTION 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-34Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.31．Students whose previous educational experience was ______ often find it hard to become independent learners.正确答案：teacher focussed32．A student or staff member might become a ______ to a student working independently.正确答案：(personal) mentor33．Study trips provide opportunities for independent students to learn off ______.正确答案：(the) campus34．The ELC is used by students on a ______ basis.正确答案：self-accessQuestions 35-37Complete the notes concerning the example of Mary and Jim using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.——talk to the English tutor at the ELC——【35】______ materials——decide which materials to use first and how——discuss problems, 【36】______ and evaluate each other——review using notes——decide if 【37】______ has been achieved——continue with topic or move to another35．【35】正确答案：identify suitable36．【36】正确答案：compare notes37．【37】正确答案：initial aimQuestion 38Decide which of the following can be used by independent learners.

Why would you choose to put your money into an investment society and not a bank? Well, SIS offers everything you’d expect from a bank but the difference is we’re a cooperative. We’re 100% owned by our customers—people like you—and that means we always put your best interests first. You won’t see our profits going into large foreign-owned finance corporations. No, you’ll see them coming back to you and your local community. As a co-operative, we work hard to keep our fees competitive and absolutely minimal. Even better, we can advise you about ways to avoid fees. Here are some suggestions: firstly, we recommend you carry out as much of your personal banking as possible with us. We won’t charge account fees unlessyour account becomes inactive for some reason. See? No unnecessary fees. Secondly, if you maintain certain minimum account balances, you won’t have to pay any transaction charges for transferring money between any accounts that have the same customer number, although there may be some service charges that apply such as the establishment of automatic payments. So, how can we help you?11．The SIS isA．a non-profit making organization.B．owned by an international corporation.C．a collective owned by ordinary people.正确答案：C12．The SISA．has no fees.B．has low fees.C．avoids paying fees.正确答案：B13．SIS accounts with the same customer numberA．will be charged for setting up automatic payments.B．attract no service charges.C．must have a minimum balance.正确答案：A听力原文：Let’s look first at Savings Options. We can give you three options. Our Internet Account earns you interest from your very first dollar deposited. You don’t have to maintain a minimum balance and you earn a good interest rate from the start. Interest calculated daily and paid into your account monthly. You always have immediate access to you money by using the Internet, Text, or Telephone banking. What’s more there are no account or transaction fees. With our Stairs Saver scheme, the more you save the higher interest you earn. Again, there is no minimum balance but as your balance grows, you’ll earn higher interest rates. There are three interest tiers or steps plus bonus interest. Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly. Now, what about access to your money? You are free to make as many withdrawals as you like but if you restrict them to one a month and your balance increases over that month, then you’ll earn that bonus interest. With our Simple Saver scheme, access is available anytime and we don’t impose penalties for withdrawals. This scheme has one interest rate, no minimum balance and interest is calculated daily and paid annually at the end of the financial year—the 30th of June. So, you can see that savings accounts are ideal if you’re starting from scratch. Do you know you can opena savings account with as little as ten dollars? They’re usually the best choice for short-term financial goals. For the longer term we recommend some kind of investment account. Let’s take a look at our investment options. Starting with the safest...the most secure, low risk option is a basic Term Deposit, starting with a minimum deposit of $1,000. Interest is calculated daily but you can choose whether to have it paid out monthly, quarterly or at maturity. What we recommend, if you really want to see money grow, is having interest compounded quarterly. You’ll only get access to your hands when your Term Deposit matures so be sure to think carefully about the amount of time before you lock it away—it could be anything from 6 months to 5 years. Bonds are generally a longer commitment but they may bring better rewards in the future. There is a minimum deposit of $5,000 and interest is calculated daily. You may choose to have interest compounded quarterly or paid out quarterly. And, of course, you’ll have access to your money when your Bond reaches maturity. Looking really long term, there is our Retirement Fund which is of course a savings plan for retirement. There is no minimum deposit but the good news is that you can choose to contribute a certain percentage of your income before tax is paid on it. As for interest, well, you choose a particular type of fund, which has a different level of return depending on the level of risk. And access? Well, not before you turn 60 years old. As I said, it’s a retirement scheme.14．正确答案：transaction15．正确答案：bonus (interest)16．正确答案：Simple Saver17．正确答案：(the) thirtieth/30th (of) June/30 June/June 3018．正确答案：secure19．正确答案：Bonds20．正确答案：income听力原文：PROFESSOR: Come in and sit down, Louise...Stuart. I suppose you’re wondering why I’ve asked you both to come here today?LOUISE: Well, we’ve heard rumors...PROFESSOR: Forget the turnouts. I’ll get straight down to business. You know that I’m organising a conference on 17th Century English Literature...STUART: Yes, but...PROFESSOR: Well, I’ve arranged for three keynote speakers and I’ve invited 25 panellists so that we can have five panel discussions and I want you two to organize one of the panel discussions.LOUISE: But we haven’t done that before. Is it like a team presentation?PROFESSOR: No, the purpose is quite different. In a team presentation the group presents agreed-upon views--as you have both done at the end of a group project.LOUISE: Yes...PROFESSOR: Well, in a panel discussion the purpose is to put forward different views. We want to expose the audience to several different viewpoints at the same session. It can help the audience evaluate their own positions regarding specific issues. And, if it’s well conducted, it’s usually more interesting than a single-speaker forum.21．What period of English literature will the conference cover?正确答案：17th/seventeenth century22．How many panel discussions have been arranged?正确答案：5/five23．What is the aim of a panel discussion? To present ______正确答案：(different) views/viewpoints/opinions/positions听力原文：STUART: And, what exactly do we have to do?PROFESSOR: Well, you’ll take the role of leader or moderator and assistant.LOUISE: Is that like the role of chairman?PROFESSOR: Yes, that’s it.STUART: Sounds daunting.PROFESSOR: Not at all. I’ve already done a great deal of the preparation myself. Let me run through the procedure with you. I’ve singled out an issue that will entail quite some conflict of opinion. I’ve selected panelists who are well-informed and will probably have contradictory points of view. That’s very important, you know.LOUISE: Actually, I feel a bit nervous--how many panelists will there be?PROFESSOR: Well, I’ve invited five panelists for each panel because that’s probably the maximum number that an inexperienced moderator can handle. But don’t worry, I always invite morethan we need because you can be sure someone won’t be able to make it--so you’ll probably just end up with four, which is a very manageable number.STUART: Oh, I see.PROFESSOR: And I’ve chosen a moderator—that’s you, by the way.LOUISE: Ah...but...Stuart will help, right?PROFESSOR: Yes. I’ll get onto time-keeping and what-not, shortly. That’s where an assistant is indispensable.STUART: But what procedure do we follow to conduct the panel discussion?PROFESSOR: Don’t worry. I was just about to say. I’ve also settled on the format.STUART: What is it?PROFESSOR: There are various formats that can be followed but I’ve always found this one to be very effective.STUART: Yes?PROFESSOR: Okay, make some notes on these guidelines as I run through them and ask me questions about anything you don’t understand.STUART: We’re ready.PROFESSOR: Firstly, the moderator introduces the topic and the panelists.LOUISE: But we don’t know who the panelists are.PROFESSOR: Don’t worry—I’ve prepared a short biographical introduction for each one of them and I’ll give you that information tomorrow.LOUISE: Oh, good.PROFESSOR: Next, the panelists are given a set amount of time to present their views on the topic. I’d say, about two minutes each should be sufficient. Now, this is where Stuart’s time-keeping is going to be important. You have to keep to the schedule all the way through because the lecture room has only been booked for an hour.STUART: How do I indicate when the time is up?PROFESSOR: You stand off to one side of the panel either with your back to the audience or hidden from the audience but in full view of the panel and moderator. You have a digital clock or timer and you hold up the appropriate number of fingers to give the number of minutes. When the time is up, you make a cutting gesture with your hand.LOUISE: Ah...but...what if the panelists keep talking?PROFESSOR: Then, that’s your job to politely intervene and move on to the next segment which is the discussion itself. Panelists discuss, ask questions and react to the opinions of other panel members. This, of course, is their primary function and should occupy about 60% of the allotted time.LOUISE: Stuart will watch the time, right?PROFESSOR: Yes, because you’ll be making brief notes.LOUISE: Why?PROFESSOR: Well, when the time’s up, the moderator shuts down the debate and provides a summary of the discussion.LOUISE: Oh, and then it’s over?PROFESSOR: Well, no, the secondary function of the panel is to answer questions from the audience and that should take up the remaining 15 to 20 minutes. It’s the leader’s role to recognize appropriate questions and reject those not related to the subject. During the question period you must maintain strict control and this will most likely be the toughest part of the whole job.LOUISE: Oh, dear.PROFESSOR: Stuart will of course help you here by ensuring that as many people as possible have a chance to ask their questions and that no one member of the audience tries to dominate. With about 5 minutes to go, he’ll announce that there’s time for only a couple more questions, then announce “last question”.LOUISE: And then it’s over?PROFESSOR: Not quite. You still have to acknowledge the involvement of the panelists and invite your audience to thank them with a round of applause.STUART: Should I clap too?PROFESSOR: Yes, you should both take part in the applause.Complete the notes below.

The topic today is hydropower. As you most probably know, ‘hydro’means water—so we are talking about using water to generate electricity. Of course, there are many ways to generate electricity but hydropower is important to the community, firstly and obviously, because it’s renewable. The earth’s hydrologic cycle of constant evaporation and transpiration provides a continual supply of water from rainfall and snowmelt. The second point to consider is its efficiency. Hydropower plants are able to convertapproximately 90% of the energy from the falling water into electric energy whereas many fossil-fuelled plants lose more than half of the energy content of their fuel by way of waste heat and gases. For this reason they are very efficient. Hydropower is also clean. It doesn’t emit harmful gases that contribute to air pollution, acid rain, and global warming. No trucks, trains or pipelines are needed to bring fuel to the site and there’s no noise pollution either. Furthermore, hydropower plant machinery is fairly simple and runs at slow speeds, which makes it reliable and durable. And, hydropower units are flexible also—they have the ability to start quickly and adjust rapidly to changes in demand for electricity, thus enabling them to meet peak loads. But this also allows them to serve as reserve capacity and bring more stability to the power system overall. The dams that provide hydroelectric power also have other uses such as navigation, flood damage reduction, water supply, recreation, irrigation and low flow augmentation but it’s not the purpose of this talk to go into those details. How do the hydropower plants work? Well, a dam is built across a river which captures water to form a reservoir and raises the water level to create ‘head’. Think of ‘head’ as the vertical distance that the water falls as it passes through the dam, in other words, the difference in water level between the reservoir behind the dam and the river below. Water from the reservoir flows through an intake gate into a penstock —this is kind of a narrow channel which leads to the turbine below. The force of the water causes the turbine to rotate rapidly which, in turn, drives the generator to spin and produce electricity. The electricity is carried the long distances from the powerhouse to substations on the outskirts of cities via power lines. Can you build a hydropower unit on any river? Well, no, just having water in a river isn’t enough. A good dam site must have enough stream flow as well as enough head. A fast flowing river on the plains is probably not suitable because a dam couldn’t be built high enough to provide the head needed for efficient production of electricity. On the other hand, dams in arid high country may have plenty of head but insufficient stream flow. The perfect spot for a hydropower plant is where the right combination of stream flow and head exists. What about the environment? Surely the construction of large dams has an environmental impact? Well, yes it does. Certainly dams and reservoirs are built to improve the lives of people living in towns, farming communities and cities. But there must be a balance between development and preserving the natural environment. Needless to say, the natural river environment is changed which leads to changes in river ecology and aquatic habitat. Sometimes, for example, dissolved oxygen levels below dams get so low in summer that there is a negative impact on aquatic life. These levels can be improved, however, by using special aerating turbines and/or injecting oxygen directly into the stream flow. In order to protect and improve the habitat for endangered and other species of birds, fish and water life, there needs to be a thorough review of operating plans to see if a better balance can be achieved. Hydropower plant design and operation must not only meet the needs of consumers for electricity but work hand-in-hand with agencies whose concern is for the fish and wildlife, water quality and water supply.Complete the notes below.

And if we could start with some personal background information...B Sure.A Right, if I could just have your age...B 35.A Right, great...RepeatA Right, great. And your job?B Systems analyst, but for the form I don’t know whether it would count as professional or business or what.A What do you think?B OK, it’s more like business.A Fine. And would you mind my asking about your salary? Or we can leave it blank.B No, I don’t mind. It’s ￡40,000 a year.A Thank you. Right... about your current watching habits... what would you say is your main reason for watching TV?B Well, at work I tend to read for information and what have you, so I’d say that with TV it probably just helps me relax and unwind.A Fine. And how many hours a day on average do you watch TV?B Not a lot really... I should say just over an hour.A So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV?B Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late—eleven or even midnight—when I’ve finished work. A And what sort of programmes do you go for? B Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows.A Fine. And turning to the new channel... which type of programmes would you like to see more of?B Well, I certainly don’t think we need any more factual programmes like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local information…you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers…you know, good quality stuff.A Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give them?B I think I’d advise them to pay a lot of attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. People are very fussy these days about that and in general I think they ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers.A Oh, I’m glad you think it’s valuable!B Certainly. . .yeah.A Good. OK, this will be a commercial channel of course , but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts?B Well, out of that list I’d say every quarter of an hour. I don’t think we can complain about that, as long as they don’t last for ten minutes each time!A Quite. And ... would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel?B Yes, I’d be very happy to, as long as they’re held here in my area.A OK, I’ll make a note of that. And finally, may we put you on our mailing list?B Well, I’d prefer not... except for the information about the promotion you mentioned.A Can I have your name and address?B Of course.. .here’s my card.A Oh, lovely... and thank you very much for your time and we look forward to seeing you.B Yes, indeed.

My name’s Elizabeth Reed and I’m your Assistant Welfare Officer. What I’d like to do now is tell you a little more about some of the er.. .the social facilities available on the campus, and also to tell you something about what the town has to offer. As you probably know already, the Student Union Building is the main centre of social life here, as indeed it is in most British Universities. The Union runs a weekly programme of events for all tastes.. .oh everything from discos to talks by guest speakers. Many of these events are fund raising activities for charities, which the U-nion takes very seriously. They manage the Students’Union paper-shop, selling magazines and newspapers, as well as stationery, sweets and so on. Um.. .Then.. .er, let me see.. .there’s the Ticket Shop, where you can get some very good deals on, well for example, coaches to London or inexpensive charter flights, as cheap as you’ll Ret anywhere people say, or tickets for big pop groups playing here or at other venues all over the country, or plays in London—oh and we mustn’t forget the Union Cafeteriaand the Big New Din-er.. .Er.. .yes? Did you have a question?STUDENT Yes, does the Union also provide help with any problems, I mean advice on financial problems, for example? Or does the University provide that?ELIZABETH Yes, the Union run their own advice service, offering help with financial matters such as grants. I am sure you realise anything medical should be discussed with the University Medical Service, which also has an excellent counselling centre. I think that was made clear yesterday. However the Union has its own officer who can give advice on legal problems. Now, onto Radford. For a town of its size, Radford has some unusually good leisure and community facilities and has quite a good shopping centre, with an interesting range of shops. As you go into Radford, there’s a new... well, quite new... Olympic-size swimming pool. That’s on the outskirts at a place called Renton. Above the pool there’s a hi-tech fitness centre. Are there any ice skaters here? No? Oh, pity! The facilities for ice-skating are excellent. Well, the new Metro Tower, right in the centre of town has got an ice rink and a sports hall for squash, badminton, volleyball and several other indoor sports. And in the same building there’s a new cinema with six screens. Er.. .then, let me see, in the main square, just two minutes’ walk from the Metro Tower, there’s the Theatre Royal, which often gets London productions on tour.. .and in the streets nearby you can find a good range of inexpensive restaurants including Indian, Chinese, Thai and...Circle FOUR letters A~G.Which FOUR activities of the Union are mentioned by the speaker?(A)raising money for good causes(B)political campaigning(C)running a newsagent’s(D)running a supermarket(E)providing cheap tickets(F)helping with accommodation(G)providing catering services11．正确答案：A12．正确答案：C13．正确答案：E14．正确答案：GWhich TWO of the following can you get advice about from the Union?(A)immigration(B)grants(C)medical problems(D)personal problems(E)legal matters15．正确答案：B16．正确答案：EWrite the appropriate letters A - C against Questions 17 - 20.What are the locations of the following places in Radford?(A)part of the Metro Tower building(B)in the main square in the centre of the town(C)some distance from the centre of the townExample Answerthe swimming pool C17．The hi-tech fitness centre正确答案：C18．the ice rink正确答案：A19．the new cinema正确答案：A20．the Theatre Royal正确答案：B听力原文：DR SIMON OK, welcome back to the new term.

It’s very informal.. .it may all be written on paper, but it’s nice to get it confirmed. So anything you’d like to ask?ANDY Dr Simon, is there a fixed hand-in date yet?DR SIMON Right. I can confirm that that’s 21 May, not 20 as we first stated. OK? ...Jane?JANE What about the word limit?DR SIMON Well we try to be pretty flexible on this, but in broad terms it’s 18-20,000.JANE Ah...DR SIMON And you can choose your topics .. . anything from Years 2 and 3 . .. Yes?JANE I still haven’t got any idea what I want to do it on. Who... ?DR SIMON Well, you should see your course tutor to agree on your final title and you should also be aware that there’s a special programme running onresearch methods for anyone who wants some extra help on that.JANE Oan I just check on the deadlines for everything?DR SIMON Yes, sure. Look, let me write it on the board... when the different stages have to be completed. First of all you’ve got to work on your basic bibliography, and that’s due in to your course tutor by 31 January. . .which is just two weeks away, so you’d better get a move on on that.ANDY Do we have to have our own draft plan by then?DR SIMON No, your draft plan is due on 7 February, which is a week later, so that should give you plenty of time.JANE And when do we have to be doing the research?DR SIMON That’s over a one-month period.. .essentially February to March.ANDY And the write up?DR SIMON Well, you can’t really get going on your writing until you’ve got quite a bit of the research done, so that’s really March to May, with the hand in date on 21st. Any more questions?ANDY Well, sir, just some advice really. It’s about computers.. .would you advise us to buy one?DR SIMON What can I say, Andy? I know it’s a massive expense, but I really feel that it will be of great benefit.. .you can always look in the Student Union adverts for second hand ones. Yes?JANE I’ve been looking at some of last year’s dissertations.ANDY Is that a good idea, sir? I heard...DR SIMON Well, I don’t think you should read them in detail too early or you might end up taking more of their ideas than you realise. But yes.. .it really is the best guide you can have to the expectations of the.. .of what’s expected when you write a dissertation.ANDY Sorry, Jane, I interrupted you.JANE That’s OK. It’s just that they did a lot of research using questionnaires. .. is that a good idea?DR SIMON I think questionnaires are very good at telling you how people fill in questionnaires, but to be frank they tell you very little else. Avoid them!ANDY About interviews. . .is it OK if we interview you?DR SIMON The tutors? I don’t see why not; they don’t have any special contribution to make, but you can if you want. There’s a whole section on this issue in the Research Guide. I’m afraid it’s slightly out of date, and you’re probably better talking to the tutor on the Research Methods course, but you might find it useful to start there.ANDY/JANE OK, thanks.DR SIMON OK.. .well, great, I hope that sorted a few things out. You can always come and see me or drop me a note if you’ve got any more queries.ANDY/JANE Fine.DR SIMON OK, Thanks...Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS or A NUMBER for each answer.

This morning we are continuing our look at Australia and its natural problems. Actually dryness, or aridity, as it is generally called by geographers, is probably the most challenging of Australia’s natural problems and so it is very important in this course for you to have a goodunderstanding of the subject. For Australia, water is a precious resource and its wise management is of the greatest importance. As I have said, Australia is a dry continent, second only to Antarctica in its lack of rainfall. Long hours of hot sunshine and searing winds give Australia an extremely high rate of evaporation, far more than in most other countries. It is estimated that approximately 87% of Australia’s rainfall is lost through evaporation, compared with just over 60% in Europe and Africa and 48% in North America. You generally think of Africa as being a very hot and dry place, but it is not in comparison with Australia. In many parts of Australia standing water, that is dams, puddles and so forth, dry up rapidly and some rainfall barely penetrates the soil. The reason for this is that the moisture is absorbed by thirsty plants. Some parts of Australia are dry because rainwater seeps quickly through sandy soils and into the rock below. In parts of Australia this water which seeps through the sandy soil collects underground to form underground lakes. Water from these subterranean lakes can be pumped to the surface and tapped and so used for various purposes above the ground. In fact, extensive underground water resources are available over more than half of Australia’s land area, but most of the water is too salty to be used for human consumption or for the irrigation of crops. However, most inland farmers do rely on this water for watering their animals and, where possible, to a lesser extent for irrigation. Underground water can flow very large distances and can be kept in underground reservoirs for a very long time. Water from these underground reservoirs bubbles to the surface as springs in some parts of the country, and these rare sources of permanent water were vital to early explorers of inland Australia, and to other pioneers last century, who used the springs for survival. But in many places levels have fallen drastically through continuous use over the years. This has necessitated the pumping of the water to the surface. Remarkably, underground water sources in Australia supply about 18% of total water consumption. So you can see it is quite an important source of water in this dry land. So most of the consumption of water in Australia comes from water which is kept above ground. More than 300 dams regulate river flows around the country. The dams store water for a variety of functions, the rural irrigation of crops, without which many productive areas of the country would not be able to be farmed; the regulation of flooding, a serious problem which will be dealt with later in the course; and last but not least, the harnessing of the force of gravity for the generation of electricity. That is all we have time for this morning, but you will be able to do further study on this important area in the library.I have a handout here with references on the subject, so if you are interested, please come up to the desk and take a copy. Next week’s lecture is a case study of an outback farm and it will be going into detail about some of the problems we discussed here...31．The driest continents is______A．Australia.B．Africa.C．Antarctica.正确答案：C32．The evaporation rate in Australia is______A．lower than Africa.B．higher than Africa.C．about the same as Africa.正确答案：B33．Rainfall in Australia hardly penetrates the soil because______A．the soil is too hard.B．the soil is too hot.C．plants use it up.正确答案：C34．In sandy soils water can______A．evaporate quickly.B．seep down to rock.C．wash the soil away.正确答案：B35．Water is mainly pumped up for______A．people to drink.B．animals to drink.C．watering crops.正确答案：B36．Natural springs are located______A．in unexplored parts of Australia.B．quite commonly over all Australia.C．in a few areas of Australia.正确答案：C37．Underground water supplies______.A．18%of Australia’s water.B．48% of Australia’s water.C．80%of Australia’s water.正确答案：ACircle THREE letters A~E.Which THREE of the following uses of dam waterare mentioned?(A)providing water for livestock(B)watering farmland(C)providing water for industry(D)controlling flood water(E)producing hydro-electric power 38．正确答案：B39．正确答案：D40．正确答案：E。

What sort of prices are we looking at?Man: The introductory is ＄190; the beginner’s course, which is probably what you’d be looking at, is ＄320 - no, sorry 330 - it’s just gone up - and the pilot course is ＄430.Maria: Right.Man: And you also have to become a member of our club so that you’re insured. That’ll cost you ＄12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.Maria: Does that cover me if I break a leg?Man: No, I’m afraid not - it’s only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings, but not theft or injury. You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.Maria: I see! And what’s the best way to get to your place? By public transport or could we come by bike? We’re pretty keen cyclists.Man: It’s difficult by public transport though there is a bus from Newcastle; most people get here by car, though, cos we’re a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I’ll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What’s your name?Maria: Maria Gentle.Man: And your address, Maria?Maria: Well, I’m a student staying with a family in Newcastle.Man: So it’s care of ...Maria: Care of Mr and Mrs. McDonald.Man: Like the hamburgers!Maria: Yes, exactly.Man: McDonald ...Maria: The post office box address is probably best. It’s R.O. Box 676, Newcastle.Man: Is there a fax number there, because I could fax you the information?Maria: Yes, actually, there is. It’s 0249 that’s for Newcastle and then double seven five four three one.Man: OK. Now if you decide to do one of our courses, you’ll need to book in advance and to pay when you book. How would you be paying?Maria: Uh ... by credit card if that’s OK. Do you take Visa?Man: Yes, fine. We take all major cards, including Visa.Maria: OK then. Thanks very much.Maria: Hi, Pauline.Pauline: Hi, Maria! What’s that you’re reading?Maria: Just some information from a paragliding school-it looks really good fun. Do you fancy a go at paragliding?Pauline: Sure! Do you have to buy lots of equipment and stuff?Maria: Not really. The school provides the equipment but we’d have to take a few things along.Pauline: Such as?Maria: Well, it says here. ‘Clothes: wear stout boots’, so no sneakers or sandals I suppose, and ‘clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt.’ That’s probably in-case you land in the stinging nettles! It also says we should bring a packed lunch. We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee. Water is really the best thing to drink. Er...we need to bring suntan lotion and something to protect your head from the sun!Pauline: OK that sounds reasonable. And where would we stay?Maria: Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too, because it says here that it’s only ＄10 a day to pitch a tent. That’d be fine, wouldn’t it? And that way we’d save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money.Pauline: Um... or perhaps we could stay in a bed-and- breakfast nearby. It gives a couple of names here we could ring. I think I might prefer that. Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm and I don’t fancy a caravan.Maria: No, I agree. But let’s take a tent and pray for good weather.Pauline: OK - let’s do it. What about next weekend?Maria: No, I can’t - I’m going on a geography field trip.Pauline: ... and then it’s the weekend before the exams and I really do need to study.Maria: OK, then. Let’s make it the one after the exams.Pauline: Fine - we’ll need a break by then. Can you ring and let me know ...SECTION 1 Questions 1-10Questions 1-3Listen to the telephone conversation between a student and the owner of a paragliding school and answer the questions below.Circle the correct letters A-D.1．How much is the beginner’s course?A．＄190B．＄320C．＄330D．＄430正确答案：C2．What does the club insurance cover?A．injury to yourselfB．injury to your equipmentC．damage to other people’s propertyD．loss of personal belongings正确答案：C3．How do the girls want to travel?A．public transportB．private busC．carD．bicycle正确答案：DQuestions 4-7Complete the form below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.4．【4】正确答案：McDonald/Macdonald/MacDonald5．【5】正确答案：Post Office Box/PO Box 6766．【6】正确答案：7754317．【7】正确答案：credit card/Visa8．Question 8Circle TWO letters A-G.Which TWO of the following items must people take with them?[A] sandals[B] old clothes[C] pullover[D] shirt with long sleeves[E] soft drinks[F] hat正确答案：DF解析：你必须选对两个答案才能得分。

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

How can I help you?M: Can you tell me something about the different harbour cruises you run?W: Well... we run three cruises every day, each offering something slightly different.M: Let me just get a pencil.W: Firstly, there’s the Daybreak Cruise,... then we do the Noon Cruise and we also have our Sunset Cruise.M: Could you tell me a little bit about them? When they leave, what they cost, that sort of thing?W: Well, the Daybreak Cruise is $16 per person and that leaves at 9.30 every morning and takes two hours to go round the harbour.M: Right... 9.30... and do you get coffee or refreshments?W: NO, but there’s a kiosk on board where you can buy drinks and snacks. And we do provide everyone with a free postcard.M: Right. And the Noon Cruise? Can you give me some details on that one?W: Well... the Noon Cruise is a little more expensive - it’s $42 per person, and that departs at 12 o’clock, of course. It’s actually very good value because it takes about three hours, as it goes round the harbour twice and, of course, for that price you also get lunch.M: I see... and what about the last one?W: Well that’s $25 a head. And it takes two hours.M: And when does that depart?W: We only run that one in the summer months, and it leaves punctually at a quarter past six.M: And presumably you get a chance to see the sunset.W: Yes, indeed, which is why it only runs in the summer.M: And is there anything included?W: Oh, yes.

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

雅思（听力）模拟试卷43(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. Listening ModuleListening Module (30 minutes & 10 minutes transfer time)听力原文：Announcer: The start of a new academic year is a challenge for booksellers. Lee Rogers talks to one major book store manager.Lee: Jenny Farrow, you’re the manager of Dalton Books - and you sell an awful lot of books to students, don’t you?Jenny: Yes! We do.Lee: How do you manage to make sure that you’re going to have the books students need when all the new courses begin?Jenny: Basically, we make preparations long before they arrive. Like all other major book retailers, we have a database of information, and using that, we contact course convenors in May and ask them to send us their booklists.Lee: How many books are we talking about?Jenny: For one course?Lee: Yes, as an example.Jenny: An average course requires about 30 books. We ask lecturers to indicate whether a book is what we call ‘essential’reading ... you know, the students simply have to get it ... or whether it’s what they would term ‘recommended’reading or whether it’s just a supplementary text that they tend to refer to as ‘background’ reading.Lee: What about predicted buyers?Jenny: It’s not a perfect system unfortunately. If a lecturer tells us that he expects us to sell 100 copies of a book, we know that we could actually sell anything from 50 to 150. That’s why in practice, when it comes to ordering, it’s a lot safer to go by the previous year’s sales figures - if that’s possible of course ... if we’ve sold the book before. We also build other factors into the equation including the type of course that the books are for, the students’ year group and a measure of our own judgement.Lee: And these criteria make a fairly accurate guide?Jenny: As accurate as we can be, yes.Lee: What about the publishers? Do they take an active role in promoting new books?Jenny: Certainly. The academic and professional publishing market is worth about f700 million a year, so publishers go to some lengths to make sure their books are known. The standard procedure they use is to mail out catalogues to lecturers or colleges and universities, that’s been the main form of promotion for years. Now, of course, they can also post details of new or revised works on websites. Some even go so far as writing individual letters to the appropriate lecturers in order to let them know what’s coming up.Lee: The lecturers then contact you if they’re interested ...Jenny: That’s right. The publishers send us - the book sellers - ‘inspection copies’. Lecturers can then get a free copy and decide whether it’s going to be suitable for their course.Lee: And how does it work with the students? What are they looking for and who helps them most?Jenny: I think lecturers are best placed to understand the students’needs. Often the critical issue is what represents value for money for students. This is more important than price per se.Lee: Do students actually buy books before they start the course?Jenny: Apparently a large proportion of students wait to see what they need. Students have a firm idea of what constitutes a good book so they tend to give themselves time to look at all the options before making a choice. Theytend to go for books that are clear and easy to use. Often the texts that their lecturers recommend turn out to be too academic and remain here on our shelves.Lee: Well that was Jenny Farrow ...SECTION 3 Questions 21-30Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS or A NUMBER for each answer.Procedure for Bookshops▼Keep database of course/college details.▼In May, request 【21】______ from lecturers.▼Categorise books as —essential reading【22】______ reading—background readingWhen ordering, refer to last year’s 【23】______—type of course —students’【24】______—own judgementProcedure for Publishers▼Send 【25】______ to course providers▼Use websites▼Compose personal 【26】______ to academic staff▼Send 【27】______ to bookstoresStudentsMain objective is to find books that are good 【28】______Also look for books that are 【29】______ and 【30】______1．【21】正确答案：(course) booklists/reading list(s)2．【22】正确答案：recommended3．【23】正确答案：sales figures4．【24】正确答案：year (group)5．【25】正确答案：catalogues6．【26】正确答案：letters/correspondence7．【27】正确答案：inspection/free copies8．【28】正确答案：value (for money)9．【29】正确答案：clear/easy to use10．【30】正确答案：easy to use/clearProduction of Rice Rice gives more (35) per hectare than other cereal crops and production has increased over 100% in recent years because of better yields.

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

First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Man: ‘Holidays for You’. Sean speaking. Can I help you?Woman: Oh hi. I’ve been looking at your website. Um, I’m interested in a cycling holiday in Austria in April.Man: Ah! We have two trips in April - one lasts fourteen days and the other ten days.Woman: Mm ... I think the(Example)10-day trip is better. So let’s see. I’ve got a calendar here. What are the dates?The length of the trip that the woman chooses is 10 days, so ‘10’has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.[repeat]Man: Well, that trip is in the middle of the month.(1)It starts on the 17th of April and it finishes on the 27th.Woman: That suits me. I can’t leave work before the 10th of April.Man: Let me see if there are any spaces. Is it just for yourself?Woman: Myself and my sister - so two of us.Man: Um, yes. We have spaces.Woman: Is it a big group?Man: At the moment there are 12 people booked on this trip and with you two that will be 14.(2)The maximum number is 16 so it’s almost fully booked. We can’t go over that because it’s hard to keep a larger group together.Woman: I need to check that I’m fit enough for this but the distances look OK. The website says(3)we’ll ride approximately 45km a day. Is that right?Man: That’s correct and I’ve got the exact distances here. It really depends on which part of the trip. Some days are only 35km and some are more. But you’ll never have to cycle more than 50km in one day.Woman: Oh, OK. I can manage that. And we stay in hotels?Man: Yes. They all have restaurants and the rooms have en-suite facilities.Woman: And do they have pools? It’s how I relax after a long day.Man: There is a(4)swimming pool in a few of the hotels but none of them has a gym.Woman: I don’t think we’ll need a gym after all that cycling! I’d better find out how much the holiday costs before I get too excited.Man: Including flights it’s ￡1,177 for one person.Woman: Oh, we’ll book our own flights on the Internet.Man: Ah, that’s just ￡(5)1.013 then. And we can book insurance for you if you want.Woman: Mm ... and which meals are included in that price?Man: Well, er, breakfast of course. And the hotels will provide you with a packed lunch each day. We do stop during the afternoon in a village somewhere for a rest, so(6)any snacks you buy then are extra. Then dinner will be in the hotel every evening and that’s included in the price of the holiday.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen andanswer questions 7 to 10.Woman: And you provide the bicycles of course. What else?Man: A lock and a bell come with the bike as well as lights, although you shouldn’t need to cycle in the dark. There’s a small bag, or pannier, on the front of the bike, where you can put the things you want to take with you during the day like water or fruit.(7)But we won’t allow you to cycle unless you bring a helmet. We don’t provide these locally because, like walking boots on a walking holiday, it’s really important it fits properly.Woman: OK.Man: If there’s any special gear you need for your holiday, we recommend a particular website and you can get a discount by quoting your booking reference.Woman: Great. What is it?Man: It’s . That’s all one word, and I’ll spell it for you: www dot(8)B-A double L-A-N-T-Y-N-E dot com.Woman: Good. I’ve got that down. I’ve been looking at your website while we’ve been talking. I see we cycle along the river Danube?Man: Yes, it’s one of Europe’s most well-known areas for cycling.Woman: It looks fascinating - lots of beautiful countryside and things to see.Man: I should warn you that we do reserve the right to make some alterations to the(9)route if the weather is bad. Some of the tracks sometimes get very muddy.Woman: OK. Well, hopefully it won’t rain too much! I know we stop in towns and villages but do we get a chance to look around? Because I’m really interested in history.Man: Oh yes, you get opportunities to explore. Is there something in particular you want to see?Woman: There’s a(10)theatre in a town called Grein. A friend of mine went there last year and said it was amazing.Man: Let’s see. Urn, ah yes, there’s a guide who’ll take you round the building. We don’t have any other tours arranged but you can visit several castles and museums on the holiday.Woman: Well, thank you for all that information. I’d like to book that then.Man: Right.

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

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

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

What nationality Q4 are you?Student: I’m from Croatia.Woman: Oh, really?A friend of mine went there on holiday last year. Q5 She said that the coast was beautiful. Q6Student: Yes, it is. The tourist industry is developing very quickly in my country. It brings in a lot of much-needed foreign currency. The only problem is that property prices are rising fast too, since many foreigners are buying holiday homes there.Woman: Yes. I can see that would be a problem for the local people. Oh, I forgot to ask—do you want this card just for your own use or do you want another person to be able to use it too?Student: I’m not sure I understand.Woman: Well, you can give us the name of another person and then that person can use the discount card too.

Today, I’m going to be asking some questions to our guest, Michael Todd, an astronaut.Michael: Good morning.Interviewer: How long have you been an astronaut and how many missionshave you flown?Michael: I’ve been an astronaut since 2002 and I’ve flown on 3 missions. The last one was in January and lasted for 9 days. Q11Interviewer: What do you need to do to become an astronaut?Michael: Well, you know I asked that very same question when I was a kid and I actually went to an astronaut and asked that question and I got an answer that I think was a very good one, which is basically stay in school. You study hard. You study mathematics Q12 or science so much that you really become a real expert in that field and then you are valuable as someone who has a real talent that can be used in a space program.Interviewer: How much training do you have to go through?Michael: Every two years or so there’s class of astronaut candidates that come down to the Johnson Space Center. You go through about one year of basic training courses. It’s actually a pretty Q13 exciting year, because it is an opportunity to learn all that you can imagine about the space shuttle. You study every single switch. You study what it does and what it means to flip that switch, when are the right times to push it and when are the wrong times to push it. After that, we get an assignment to fly in space, and we spend another year just studying about that particular space flight.Interviewer: There’s been a lot of talk about sending people to Mars. What are the challenges of a manned mission to Mars?Michael: The first challenge is constructing a spacecraft to get there. The trip to Mars could take as long as a year. When you are in space that long, your muscles get kind of weak because you Q14 haven’t been using them to walk around. You also need to find ways to pack enough food, water and air. Those kind of challenges are the sort of things that we are going to be studying at the International Space Station in the near future to develop Q15 the things that we need to have in order to safely send people to Mars and to bring them back.Interviewer: How does it feel to wear a spacesuit?Michael: I did my first space walk on my third flight. We were outside for 6 hours, a little over 6 hours. The spacesuit is very big and very awkward and in fact because you are outside where there is no air and your spacesuit is providing you air, your spacesuit is pressurised. So it makes you sort of feel like a balloon. Your Q16 arms end up way out to your side if you don’t do anything about it. So you have to use some force to pull your arms in. When you try to work with the gloves that we have, in order to Q17 keep your hands warm and safe from outside, the gloves have to be thick—which means that there is no way that you could, say, button your shirt, put on a belt, or come close to putting on a wrist watch without dropping them. So they are big and awkward to work in and we have to use special tools to make it possible to get the job done. You can imagine that it can be difficult to do and we train for a long time to get good at working inside that suit. The suit is an incredible piece of equipment. It keeps us safe at temperatures from minus 200 degrees to plus 200 degrees. It keeps you safe from a place where there is no air and where there is the possibility of small particles Q18 hitting you at very high speed like little bullets. Yet, it gives you a good view outside and canprovide life support for over 6 hours.Interviewer: What’s the most fun part of being in space?Michael: That’s an easy one. The best part for me was looking back at the Earth. The colours of the Earth don’t quite come across in a photograph. The depth of the colours are like gem stones. There are ruby reds, and emerald greens, and sapphire blues. The atmosphere is just a thin blue line. It cuts across the very top of the planet, and in that line you can see all different shades of blue, layers that go from midnight blue to turquoise blue to almost white, it’s such a light blue. The clouds are soQ19 white that it is hard to look at them. They’re so bright that you have to wear sunglasses to look at them or your eyes will just close all on their own. Sunrises and sunsets are particularly spectacular, because if you remember we are going around the earth every 90 minutes, which means we see a sunrise and 45 Q20 minutes later we see a sunset and 45 minutes later we see another sunrise.Interviewer: Now, our next question comes from one of our listeners ...SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11-15Answer the following questions using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each.11．When was Michael’s last space mission?正确答案：(in) January12．What should you study if you want to be an astronaut?’正确答案：mathematics/maths (or) science13．How long does basic training last?正确答案：one/1 year14．Which parts of the body weaken after a long time in space?正确答案：(your/the) muscles15．Where are the problems of getting to Mars going to be studied?正确答案：International Space StationQuestions 16-20Complete the following statements using NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each gap.16．Pressurised space suits make astronauts feel like a ______.正确答案：balloon17．The ______ are big and awkward to work with.正确答案：gloves18．While on a space walk, there is a danger of being hit by ______.正确答案：small particles19．______ are too bright to look at with the naked eye.正确答案：Clouds20．An orbit of the Earth takes ______.正确答案：90/ninety minutes听力原文：Jeff (male): Hi Aref! Hi Marta!Matra (female): Hi Jeff2.Aref (male): Hi Jeff! Thanks for agreeing to help us with this university application form.Jeff: No problem. It’s the UCAS form, is it? Well, I brought mine along as well as an example. Let’s have a look at the first page. ... Ah, here, you need to write in your addresses in your home countries.Marta: Here? Where it says “home address”?Jeff: That’s right.Marta: But we don’t want them to send things to that address.Jeff: They won’t. See. It says they will send things to your residential Q21 address, which is in the UK. Marta: Oh, I see!Aref: And here we need to write the name of our school, don’t we?Jeff: Yes, and any other secondary schools you’ve attended. Don’t forget to write “FT”in the box there on the right.Aref: “FT”means “full-time”, I suppose? Q22Jeff: Yes, it does. Put the most recent school you’ve attended at the top.Malta: Here it says we should enter our ethnic origin, but only if we are UK applicants.Jeff: Well, you are living in the UK. Put it in anyway. It won’t matter. They only use it for statistical purposes. Q23Aref: Should we put the subjects we’ve taken for A-level in this area—7A?Jeff: No. That’s for exams you’ve already taken and got the results for. Here, underneath, in part 7B, you can see the space forQ24 exams that you’ve taken but don’t have the results for, or are going to take. Malta: And do we need to write the name of our school there too? That’s where we will take the exams.Jeff: That’s right. Don’t forget to put the address too.Aref: Do you know the postcode for our school, Jeff?.Jeff: Yes, it’s PL3 6LY. Now, how about page 3? Q25Marta: I did some part-time work. Should I put that in the employment section?Jeff: Yes. I did some part-time work too. Write “PT”in the final box—for “part-time”.Marta: OK. And for “nature of work”I’ll put “shop assistant”. Q26Jeff: OK. Now we’ve come to part 10—Personal Statement. Did you write out a rough draft for me to look at, as I suggested? Q27Marta: Yes, here’s mine.Aref: And here’s mine.Jeff: OK. Let me just have a quick look .... I’ll just correct the grammatical mistakes. There aren’t many .... Be careful with your spelling, Marta .... Aref, I wouldn’t include this sentence about wanting your parents to be proud of you. A personal statement should be more practical, rather than an emotional Q28 appeal.Aref: I see. It’s a bit different in my culture. OK, I’lltake your advice.Jeff: I think that you both need to say why you’re interested in those particular courses at those particular universities.Marta: Well, I like some of the elective courses on offer in years two Q29 and three. That’s how I chose those particular universities. How about you, Aref?Aref: Well, I considered that, but many of the law courses at university are very similar, so I also considered the geographical location of the universities.Jeff: OK. Add those reasons. Have you both signed at the bottom of page 3? ... Yes, oh, Marta, you forgot to add the date. Now, on page four, you need to have a teacher write a reference for you.Aref: I’m going to ask Mr Martin, since he’s my form teacher.Marta: I’m going to ask Mrs Robinson, because she’s my art teacher.Jeff: Good. It’s best to have your form teacher to do it or ask the teacher who teaches the subject you want to study. They are most likely to have an idea of your abilities. Q30Aref: Should I leave it to the teacher to fill in the details about the school at the top of the reference page?Jeff: Yes. Some of that information isn’t known to us students anyway.Marta: Well, thanks for your help, Jeff.

Let’s getright into things and look at insulation first of all. Around 40% of the heatthat is lost from a home is lost through walls and the roof. The rest is lostthrough the floor and openings. This figure can be significantly reducedthrough the installation of simple loft insulation, which will cost between￡130-200 to install and save around ￡150 a year in energy bills. Cavity wall Q31insulation costs from around ￡135 to install and can save around ￡100 a year. Q32Windows can be insulated by installing double glazing to reduce heat lossthrough windows, although wooden frames are more preferential from an environmental perspective than PVC. Now, lighting accounts for some 15% of an electricity bill. As eachenergy-saving light bulb saves some ￡7 a year, the benefits are potentially Q33significant. On an even simpler level, ensuring that the new appliances youinstall are approved by the Environmental Standards Authority means that,for example, on a fridge, you can reduce its energy consumption by twothirds—saving you ￡35 a year. In particularly dark areas of the upper storeysof homes, a light-pipe might be an effective alternative to constant artificiallighting—light is captured from the roof and channelled down a mirroredtube. They cost between ￡200-700, depending on size and distance from Q34roof. As regards heating water, a high-efficiency condensing boiler—particularly one that uses weather compensation control—will save you around￡180 a year, while simply adding a jacket and lagging to the hot water cylinderQ35and pipes will cover its outlay in a year. Now, let’s look at energy generation. People are becoming increasinglyinterested in generating electricity at home. PV cells are perhaps the bestknown form of renewable energy and operate by turning solar radiation intoelectricity. The average UK home could generate around half of its own electricity through this method, providing it is used efficiently and the home has Q36a large south-facing roof. The greater the intensity of the sunlight, the greaterthe amount of electricity produced. Payback times on PV systems vary butare usuallyconsidered to be at least 10 years. Straightforward solar panels,which simply use the sun to heat water, tend to offer a much shorter paybackperiod. Using the wind to produce energy is becoming a viable option for individual dwellings. The Swift Rooftop Wind Energy System is just 1.6m in Q37diameter and costs around ￡1,300—it generates around 1.5kWh of energyevery time it turns. An alternative is the Windsave, which operates from theground and requires a pole, but the manufacturers claim the ￡1000 systemcan save a third of your annual electricity costs, giving a payback time ofaround five years. Ground source heat pumps are also becoming a realistic alternative.The temperature at around 5-10 metres underneath the ground surface is ata constant level of around 10℃. This heat can be extracted using the sametechnology as is used in domestic fridges to provide up to four units of energy Q38for every one unit of electricity used to power the system. Installationcosts are between ￡8,000-12,000. Most experts give the payback time ataround ten years. It might be worth installing air circulation systems if the house is undergoing extensive structural renovation. The key to such systems is a heatexchanger, usually installed in the roof. This unit draws air from the moistareas of the house—the kitchen and bathrooms—and expels it through theheat exchanger. At the same time cold air from the outside is drawn in andwarmed by the heat in the outgoing moist air. This Warm air is then transferred to the bedrooms and living areas. The best heat exchange units claimQ39to be able to recover about 90% of the heat that would otherwise be deposited outside. Installing all the ducting necessary to make systems like thiswork can be tricky and messy when the job is a retrofit. However, when thistakes place in a house that is having a total refurbishment, it is unlikely tocause more disturbance than there is already. Now, let’s turn to reducing water consumption. Although water billsare still relatively cheap in the UK, last winter’s drought and this summer’simminent water shortages have brought the focus back on to the way domestic properties use water. All new builds are now required to install a watermeter rather than pay a flat rate charge—and renovators interested in cuttingtheir consumption would do well to follow this measure, as well as installing low-flush WCs and simple showers, rather than power showers—which Q40use around 20 litres of water a minute. Even when compared to a bath, whichuses around 100 litres in total, power showers are very high in usage andthose interested in conserving water should consider avoiding them. Fittingflow restrictors might be an alternative.For those contemplating a more significant renovation scheme, the installation of a rainwater harvesting system should be considered, as it can potentially reduce a household’s water consumption by around half. Rainwater harvesting systems, which cost around ￡3-3,500 installed, recycle rainwater and use it to flush toilets, water gardens and for the washing machine.31．SECTION 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-35Complete the information in the table.正确答案：￡15032．正确答案：￡13533．正确答案：light bulb34．正确答案：￡200-70035．正确答案：￡180Questions 36-40Decide which statement is true in each case and write the corresponding letter on your answer sheet.36．PV cellsA．could generate half the UK’s energy requirements.B．work better on a south-facing roof in the UK.C．pay for themselves faster than solar panels.正确答案：B37．WindsaveA．generates more electricity than the Swift Rooftop Wind Energy System.B．is cheaper than the Swift Rooftop Wind Energy System.C．pays for itself sooner than the Swift Rooftop Wind Energy System.正确答案：B38．Ground-source heat pumpsA．are not yet available for domestic use.B．produce four times more energy than they use.C．can save over ￡8000 a year.正确答案：B39．Heat exchangersA．recover up to 90% of heat that would otherwise be lost.B．recover over 90% of heat that would otherwise be lost.C．are difficult to use.正确答案：A40．A typical ______ uses 20 litres of water a minute.

I did a course when I was working.Clive: That’s good. First aid. Anything else?Edwina: Well, I’ve got a driving licence, as I told you on the phone. But that’s not special, you said, almost everyone needs that really.(6)I’ve got a sailing qualification, it’s a certificate of competence.Clive: So you’re a yachtswoman?Edwina: I love sailing.Clive: Well, I’ll note you have a certificate.Hmm.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.Clive: Now, as I mentioned yesterday, there are three families and the job description is much the same for all of them, as I explained. There are a few other things you need to know. Anyway, the first family’s here in London.Edwina: Yes, I did make a few notes. London, er, that’s the Bentons? With two children?Clive: Yes. That’s right, a girl of three and her brother who’s eight. The little boy has a quite serious food allergy. Did you learn about things like that on your course?Edwina: Oh, well, I know what to do if someone has an allergic reaction.Clive: Good, but(7)what they mainly want is someone with an interest in sport, as that’s the kind of family they are.Edwina: Oh that’s OK. I’ll enjoy that.Clive: Good. Now the next people are in the country, near Oxford.Edwina: Oh yeah, the Grangers?Clive: So,(8)they have twin bovs of five, who are a bit of a handful, I suspect, but it’s a lovely place, quite a grand house, and the family is extremely welcoming. They keep horses. Do you ride?Edwina: I did when I was younger. I like animals generally.Clive: Well, ‘animal-lover’was their special request, so you’d be fine there. The last family ...Edwina: Yes?Clive: I don’t think I told you(9)they live in Scotland.Edwina: Really? What’s their name?Clive: Campbell.Edwina: Oh, yes. And they have four girls under ten?Clive: That’s it. They have a lovely city flat, and they own a small island.Edwina: Wow!Clive: Actually, you might get on with them very well.(10)They particularly wanted someone who would be prepared to cook when they go camping on the island.Edwina: Camping would really suit me and I’m used to taking my turn doing the food. But it is a long way from London.Clive: Mm. Yeah, well, you can think about it. Urn, then as soon as I’ve checked your references, we can arrange for you to talk to all of the families.Edwina: Right. Thanks very much!Clive: Thank you! I’ll email you as soon as I can.Complete the form below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.

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

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

First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[Pause the recording for one minute.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.I work for the National Weather Service and as part of your course on weather patterns, I’ve been asked to talk to you about how we predict the weather. We’re so used to switching on our TVs and getting an up-to-date weather forecast at any time of day or night that we probably forget that this level of sophistication has only been achieved in the last few decades and weather forecasting is actually an ancient art. So I want to start by looking back into history.The earliest weather forecasts appeared in the 1500s in almanacs, which were lists of information produced every year.(31)Their predictions relied heavily on making links between the weather and where the planets were in the sky on certain days. In addition, predictions were often based on information like if the fourth night after a new moon was clear, good weather was expected to follow.But once basic weather instruments were invented, things slowly started to change.(32)In the mid-fifteenth century, a man called Nicholas Cusa, a German mathematician, designed a hygrometer which told people how much humidity there was in the air. To do this, Cusa put some sheep’s wool on a set of scales and then monitored the change in the wool’s weight according to the air conditions.A piece of equipment we all know and use is the thermometer.(33)Changes in temperature couldn’t really be measured until the Italian Galileo Galilei invented his thermometer in 1593. It wasn’t like a modern-day thermometer because it had water inside it instead of mercury. In fact, it wasn’t until 1714 that Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer. In 1643 another Italian called Evangelista Torricelli invented the first barometer which measured atmospheric pressure. This was another big step forward in more accurate weather predicting.As time went on, during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, all these meteorological instruments were improved and developed and people in different countries began to record measurements relating to their local weather. However,(34)in those days it was very difficult to send records from one part of the world to another so it wasn’t possible for them to share their information until the electric telegraph became more widespread. This meant that weather observations could be sent on a regular basis to and from different countries. By the 1860s, therefore, weather forecasts were becoming more common and accurate because they were based on observations taken at the same time over a wide area.(35)In 1863. France started publishing weather maps each day. This hadn’t been done before, and other nations soon followed. So that was the start of national weather forecasting and I’ll now tell you how we at the National Weather Centre get the information we need to produce a forecast.Even today, one of the most important methods we use is observations which tell us what the weather is doing right now. Observation reports are sent automatically from equipment at a number of weather stations in different parts of the country.(36)They are nearly all based at airports although a few are in urban centres. The equipment senses temperature, humidity, pressure and wind speed direction.Meteorologists also rely really heavily on satellites which send images to our computer screens. What we see on our screens is brightcolours.(37)Orange represents dry air and bright blue shows moisture levels in the atmosphere. The satellites are located 22,000 miles above the surface of the Earth and it’s amazing that despite that distance(38)it’s possible for us to make out an individual cloud and follow it as it moves across the landscape.In addition to collecting data from the ground, we need to know what’s happening in the upper levels of the atmosphere. So a couple of times a day from many sites across the country, we send radiosondes into the air.(39)A radiosonde is a box containing a package of equipment and it hangs from a balloon which is filled with gas. Data is transmitted back to the weather station.Finally, radar.(40)This was first used over 150 years ago and still is. New advances are being made all the time and it is one method for detecting and monitoring the progress of hurricanes. Crucial information is shown by different colours representing speed and direction. Radar is also used by aircraft, of course.All this information from different sources is put into computer models which are like massive computer programs. Sometimes they all give us the same story and sometimes we have to use our own experience to decide which is showing the most accurate forecast which we then pass on to you.So I hope next time you watch the weather forecast, you’ll think about how we meteorologists spend our time.

Now you have some time to look at Questions 11-16. Now listen, and answer Questions 11-16.Presenter: Welcome to Camber’s Park podcast. In the next few minutes, I’ll tell you a little about the park and the amazing things we have to offer.We like to think that Camber’s offers more than other theme parks. Like them, we have a variety of exciting rides for people of all ages, but Camber’s also places strong emphasis on the educational experience for its visitors... not boring facts but lots of interactive exhibits. Although it’s mainly an outdoor experience, we do have some indoor activities if the weather gets too dreadful.The park’s got a lovely well established feel, set in eighty acres of beautiful countryside about three miles south of the tourist resort of Dulchester. The park was set up in nineteen ninety seven by the Camber family but then taken over by new owners in two thousand and four, who have maintained the original vision of the Cambers. It has lots of old trees, hundreds of flower beds and a gorgeous lake.Camber’s has over forty- five different rides, exhibits and arcades. All but one of these is free once you have paid your entrance fee(we charge a small fee for our newest ride, to reduce the length of the queues). You don’t pay anything forparking. A family ticket—for a family of four—works out at about eight pounds per person, which is amazing value. Full details of current prices are shownon our website, along with full details of rides, etc., and directions for getting to us.We also have a number of special offers. For example, if you live locally, why not join our Adventurers’Club, which entitles you fifty percent off ticket prices all year round, and a special ‘lane’ for all rides and exhibits which means you don’t have to wait to get into any part of the park. See the Offers tab on the website.We’ve recently added a number of new exhibits to the park, and we’re particularly proud of our Future Farm Zone, which houses over twenty different species of animals, from chipmunks to dairy cows. The emphasis is on getting near to the animals—all of them can be petted and you can buy food for feeding the animals. Many of our younger visitors say that this is the high point of their visit!And speaking of food, don’t let the animals have all the fun. We have a total of seven different catering outlets on the site. We’re open ten to five thirty all year round and cold drinks and snacks can be bought at any time during opening hours. And hot food is available most of the day in the Hungry Horse cafe—from eleven until five—just half an hour before closing time.Narrator: Now you have some time to look at Questions 17-20. Now listen and answer Questions 17-20.Presenter: Now we want all our visitors to have an exciting time when they come to the park but our first priority must be safety. Parents and guardians know their children’s behaviour and capabilities. But here at the park we have set certain conditions for each of the rides to ensure that all visitors get the maximum enjoyment out of the experience and feel secure at all times. There are four major rides at the park. Our newest ride is the River Adventure which is designed to reproduce the experience of white-water rafting. No amount of protective clothing would make any difference so only go on this ride if you’re prepared to get wet! Children under eight can go on this ride, but all under sixteens must have an adult with them.Not all of our rides are designed for thrills and spills. Our Jungle Jim rollercoaster is a gentler version of the classic loop the loop, specially created for whole family enjoyment—from the smallest children to elderly grandparents, suitable for all levels of disability and health conditions. Carriages have comfortable seating for up to eight people, with safety belts for each passenger which must be worn at all times. Sit back and enjoy the scenery!One of the best established and most popular of Camber’s rides is the massive Swoop Slide. Whizz down the polished vertical slide nine metres in height and scream to your heart’s content. There are no age or height restrictions. Be careful though—you must have on long trousers so you won’t get any speed burns!And then there’s the famous Zip Go-kart stadium with sixteen carts: eight for single drivers and eight for kids preferring to ride along with mum, dad or carer. Take part in high-speed races in our specially designed Formula One-style karts—but no bumping other karts, please. All riders must be above one point two metres because they have to be able to reach the pedals... even in the shared karts.Full details of all safety features are available on our website at .So come and make a day of it at Camber’s Theme Park!Choose the correct answer, A, B or C.Camber’s Theme Park11．According to the speaker, in what way is Camber’s different from other theme parks?A．It’s suitable for different age groups.B．It offers lots to do in wet weather.C．It has a focus on education.正确答案：C12．The Park first opened inA．1980.B．1997.C．2004.正确答案：B13．What’s included in the entrance fee?A．most rides and parkingB．all rides and some exhibitsC．parking and all rides正确答案：A14．Becoming a member of the Adventurers Club meansA．you can avoid queuing so much.B．you can enter the park free for a year.C．you can visit certain zones closed to other people.正确答案：A15．The Future Farm zone encourages visitors toA．buy animals as pets.B．learn about the care of animals.C．get close to the animals.正确答案：C16．When is hot food available in the park?A．10:00 am-5:30 pmB．11:00 am-5:00 pmC．10:30 am-5:00 pm正确答案：BWhat special conditions apply to the following rides?Choose FOUR answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-F, next to the questions 17-20.Special conditions for visitorsA Must be over a certain ageB Must use special safety equipmentC Must avoid it if they have health problemsD Must wear a particular type of clothingE Must be over a certain heightF Must be accompanied by an adult if under 16Rides17．River Adventure______正确答案：F18．Jungle Jim Rollercoaster______正确答案：B19．Swoop Slide______正确答案：D20．Zip Go-carts______正确答案：E听力原文：Narrator: You will hear two business studies students discussing a presentation they’ll do on an article on working effectively in groups. First you have some time to look at Questions 21-26. Now listen, and answer Questions 21-26.Helen: So, Brad, what did you think of the article on group work?Brad: Oh hi, Helen ... yeah it was pretty good ... with helpful pieces of advice on how to make group work effective.Helen: I think we were lucky to be given such a straightforward text to present at the management skills seminar.Brad: Yeah ... actually shall we discuss it now ... have you got time?Helen: Sure ... it’s only a ten-minute presentation, so we just need to explain and then give our views on the main points raised in the article.Brad: I’ll jot down some notes ... Right.Helen: So, there are three main sections.I suggest we start with listening.Brad: Yeah ... effective listening in groups... because it’s not something that’s frequently covered on courses in our field ...Helen: No ... and we should say that in the presentation.Brad: Yeah ... And also effective listening’s pretty simple, you know, I don’t think it’s hard to learn.Helen: Well ... people think it’s easy, but in my experience most of us tend to be very lazy listeners.Brad: OK—I wouldn’t argue with that.Helen: Something I do think we should emphasise is the power of the listener’s posture, gestures, etc. in making speakers feel respected.Brad:... not that you’re just waiting for them to finish... before jumping in with your own ideas ...Helen: Ah ha.Brad: OK. Right... the next section is on goal setting—let’s make sure we’re clear what the article says on this.Helen: Yeah—well, firstly it savsthat all group members must be given time to explain their own goals.Brad: ... that’s it, yeah.Helen: ... and then did it say that the whole group should agree on common goals?Brad: That’s a bit too strong. It’s more that everyone’s agendas should be equally acceptable ... but it does say that goals have to be realistic, you know ...Helen: ... achievable within a particular time?Brad: You’ve got it. That’s really what the article’s saying. There isn’t really any point in having ‘ideals’ if group members know they won’t come to anything within a reasonable period ... So (I)think a summary covering those points will be enough for that part of the presentation, don’t you?Helen: Yep ... Now the last section is about conflict resolution.Brad: Actually, I thought it was the worst part of the article.Helen: Me too ...Brad: I don’t think it went into sufficient detail on the issue.Helen: Actually I thought it devoted too much space to it but that it was all rather boring, you know ...Brad: It didn’t mention some of the more radical theoriesHelen: Absolutely ...I found that really irritating. Brad: Right... and also I think it could have said more about conflict sometimes being healthy in groups... Helen: Absolutely ... it just mentioned rather glibly about how we should avoid thinking of winners and losers and that quick resolution of conflict is always desirable. Brad: Without explaining what these terms mean ... ? Helen: Well, it gives quite detailed definitions but doesn’t develop a proper argument.Brad: Right... So for the presentation, I think we just give some definitions and ...Helen: ... and then explain what we felt were the weaknesses in the article’s treatment of conflict resolution. Brad: Yeah ... good.Narrator: Now you have some time to look at Questions 27-30. Now listen and answer Questions 27-30.Brad: So, let’s think about what we have to prepare for the actual presentation.Helen: Well, I suppose we’ll use PowerPoint ... but I’m hopeless at using it, especially if it has any visuals. I really have to look into doing a course on it because I know I’ll need it in the future.Brad: Don’t worry, I’m quite happy using PowerPoint and I’ll put it together when everything else is ready.Helen: That’s a relief... but, yes, do that later.Brad: OK. Now, I heard the tutor saying we have to include some well chosen quotations from the article?Helen: I’m not sure if we do ... I’ll email him to find out.Brad: No need, I can just have a look at the specs he gave us when he set the task ...Helen: That’ll be quicker.Brad: But the tutor definitely said we have to prepare a handout to go with the talk ... I’m not really sure how we do that.Helen: Sarah did one last year...Brad: Who’s she?Helen: She’s doing the same option as me on marketing. I’ll ask her advice on what to include.Brad: Great. So that just leaves the bibliography at the end. I suppose it’ll mainly be articles.Helen: Yeah. So we’ll just look on the web ... and we can leave that till later.Brad: But we’ve been advised against that...Helen: Well, we could have a look through some journals in the library.Brad: I think we should start by looking through module handbooks. I think that’ll give us some good leads.Helen: Yeah ... you’re probably right. So, that’s all the ...Choose TWO letters, A-E.What TWO things do Brad and Helen agree to say about listening in groups? A Listening skills are often overlooked in business training.B Learning to listen well is a skill that’s easy for most people to learn.C It’s sometimes acceptable to argue against speakers.D Body language is very important when listening.E Listeners should avoid interrupting speakers.21．A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：A22．A．B．C．D．E．正确答案：DChoose TWO letters, A-E.What TWO things does the article say about goal-setting?

Before you listen, you have some time to look at Questions 31-40. Now listen, and answer Questions 31-40.Lecturer: Good afternoon. This is the first of a series of lectures I’ll be giving about engineering for sustainable development. I’ll be presenting examples of engineering projects from a variety of contexts, and today I’m going to talk about a project to design a new kind of greenhouse for use in the Himalayan mountain regions.First of all, I’ll tell you about the problem which was the context for this project. In the Himalayan mountains, fresh vegetables and other crops can only be grown outside for about ninety days, during the summer, because the altitude of the region is around three thousand five hundred metres, and because the rainfall is so low. In winter, temperatures fall below minus twenty-five degrees celcius, so fresh vegetables have to be imported. They arrive by truck in summer or by air in winter, which makes them expensive. Local people rely on dried leafy vegetables and stored root crops during the winter, and rarely eat fresh vegetables.But despite the sub-zero temperatures, the skies over the region are cloudless, and there are over three hundred sunny days per year. So an engineering solution was needed, to exploit the sun’s energy and protect locally produced plants from freezing during winter. And in fact, there had been programmes in the past to provide greenhouses, but these were unsuccessful. The greenhouses weren’t adapted for local conditions, so they tended to fall into disuse.So, a few years ago, a project was initiated to design a better greenhouse, one which would meet thecriteria for sustainability.Lecturer: So, what are the criteria for sustainability? Well, first of all, the new greenhouse is designed to be relatively simple, so construction is cheap. Locally available materials are used wherever possible. The walls are generally constructed of mud bricks, made locally, although in areas of high snow-fall more resilient walls of stone are needed. Rammed earth is also used. The main roof is generally made from locally available poplar wood, with water-resistant local grass for the covering. In addition, the construction and maintenance of the greenhouse is done by local craftsmen. So local stone masons are employed to build the greenhouse walls, and specialised training is provided for them wherever necessary. Then... the greenhouse is designed to run on solar power alone, there’s no supplementary heating. And lastly, families are selected to own one of the new greenhouses with great care. They have to have a site which is suitable for constructing it on. They also have to be keen to make a success of using it, and also to share the produce with the wider community through sale or barter. Potential owners are taken to see existing greenhouses before they make a final decision about having one.So, those are the features which make the project sustainable. And now I’ll briefly describe the design of the greenhouse. The greenhouses are orientated very carefully along an East-West axis, so that there’s a long South-facing side. The transparent cover on the South-facing side is made from a heavy-duty polythene, which should last for at least five years. On the inside of the greenhouse, the walls are painted—the rear and west-facing walls are black, to improve heat absorption, but the east-facing wall is white to reflect the morning sunlight onto the crops inside. Finally, there’s a door in the wall at one end, and vents are incorporated into the roof, the door and the wall at the other end, to enable control of humidity and prevent overheating.I’ll turn now to the benefits which have resulted from the introduction of these new greenhouses. These benefits are of various kinds, but for now I’ll just mention the social benefits.First of all, people who own a greenhouse gain social standing in their communities, because they provide vegetables for the wider community, for regular consumption as well as for festivals, and they also earn income. Secondly, because in rural areas it is women who usually grow the food, the greenhouses have increased their opportunities. They bring the benefits of improved nutrition, and increased family income, from the sale of surplus produce. And thirdly, as a result of their improved financial position, some families can now afford to educate their children for the first time.Complete the notes below.Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer.
