Q: What will the man probably do?W: What does the paper say about the horrible incident that happened this morning on flight 870 to Hong Kong?M: It ended with the arrest of the 3 hijackers. They have forced the plane to fly to Japan, but all the passengers and crew members landed safely.2. Q: What do we learn from the conversation?M: Hello, this is the most fascinating article I've ever come across. I think you should spare some time to read it.W: Oh, really? I thought that anything about the election will be tedious.3. Q: What are the speakers talking about?W: I'm not going to trust the restaurant critic from that magazine again. The food here doesn't taste anything like what we had in Chinatown.M: It definitely wasn't worth the weight.4. Q: What do we learn from the conversation?W: Do you know what's wrong with Mark? He's been acting very strange lately.M: Come on. With his mother hospitalized right after he's taken on a new job. He's just gone a lot on his mind.5. Q: What do we learn from the conversation about Mark?W: There were only 20 students at last night's meeting, so nothing could be voted on.M: That's too bad. They'll have to turn up in great numbers if they want a voice on campus issues.6. Q: What does the man mean?M: I try to watch TV as little as possible, but it's so hard.W: I didn't watch TV at all before I retired, but now I can hardly tear myself away from it.7. Q: What do we learn from the conversation?W: I'm having a problem registering for the classes I want.M: That's too bad, but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to work everything out before this semester starts.8. Q: What does the man mean?Conversation OneW: Jack, sit down and listen. This is important. We’ll have to tackle the problems of the exportingstep by step. And the first move is to get an up-to-date picture of where we stand now.M: Why don’t we just concentrate on expending here at home?W: Of course, we should hold on to our position here. But you must admit the market here is limited.M: Yes, but it’s safe. The government keeps out foreigners with import controls. So I must admit I feel sure we could hold our own against foreign bikes.W: I agree. That’s why I am suggesting exporting. Because I feel we can compete with the best of them.M: What you are really saying is that we’d make more profit by selling bikes abroad, where we have a cost advantage and can charge high prices.W: Exactly.M: But, wait a minute. Packaging, shipping, financing, etc. will push up our cost and we could no better off, maybe worse off.W: OK. Now there are extra cost involved. But if we do it right, they can be built into the price of the bike and we can still be competitive.M: How sure are you about our chances of success in the foreign market?W: Well, that’s the sticky one. It’s going to need a lot of research. I’m hoping to get your help. Well, come on, Jack. Is it worth it, or not?M: There will be a lot of problems.W: Nothing we can’t handle.M: Um… I’m not that hopeful. But, yes, I think we should go ahead with the feasibility study. W: Marvelous, Jack. I was hoping you be on my side.9. What does the woman intend to do?10. Why does the man think it’s safe to focus on the home market?11. What is the man’s concern about selling bikes abroad?12. What do the speakers agree to do?Conversation TwoW: What does the term “alternative energy source” mean?M: When we think of energy or fuel for our homes and cars, we think of petroleum, a fossil fuel processed from oil removed from the ground, of which there was a limited supply. But alternative fuels can be many things. Wind, sun and water can all be used to create fuel.W: Is it a threat of running out of petroleum real?M: It has taken thousands of years to create the natural stores of petroleum we have now. We are using what is available at a much faster rate that it is being produced over time. The real controversy surrounding the mass petroleum we have is how much we need to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that by around 2025, the petroleum we use will reach a peak. Then production and availability will begin to seriously decline. This is not to say there will be no petroleum at this point. But it’ll become very difficult and therefore expensive to extract.W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fuel and energy sources?M: The two very clear reasons to do so, one is that whether we have 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find other fuel sources eventually. So the sooner we start, the better off we will be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels, you release substancestrapped into the ground for a long time, which leads to some long-term negative effects, like global warming and greenhouse effect.13. What do we usually refer to when we talk about energy according to the man?14. What do most experts agree on according to the man?15. What does the man think we should do now?Section BPassage OneKaron Smith is a buyer for the department store in New York. The apartment store buyers purchase the goods that their stores sell .They not only have to know what is fashionable at that moment, but also have to guess what will become fashionable next season or next year. Most buyers were for just one department in a store. But the goods that Karon finds maybe displayed and sold in several different sections of the store. Her job involves buying handicrafts from all over the world. Last year, she made a trip to Morocco and returns with drugs, pots, dishes and pants. The year before, she visited Mexico. And bought back handmade table cloths, mirrors with frames of tin and paper flowers. The paper flowers are bright and colorful. So they were used to decorate the whole store. This year Karon is travelling in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, many of the countries that Karon visits have government offices that promote handicrafts. The officials are glad to cooperate with her by showing her the products that are available. Karon specially likes to visit markets and small towns in villages whenever she can arrange for it. She is always looking for interesting and unusual items. Karon thinks she has the best job she could find. She loves all the travelling that she has to do. Because she often visits markets and small out-of-the-way places. She sees much more the country she visits than an ordinary tourists would. As soon as she gets back to New York form one trip, Karon begins to plan another.16. What is said to make a good department store buyer?17. What is Karon’s job involved?18. Why does Karon think she has got the best job?Passage TwoMark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area’s city councilwoman was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was on the decline. The neighborhood faced many problems. Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There were charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. Mark read from the charts, police patrols cut back, illegal parking up 20%. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman. It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big,” he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.” As he neared the bus stop on his way home, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. “You gotta stay with Mom”, he said. Then he picked up the street groceries while the woman smiled in relief. “Thanks!” she said. “You’ve got great timing!”Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the poster near his seat in the bus. “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe that’s a good place to start.”19. What did Mark think he should start doing?20. What was being discussed when Mark arrived at the neighborhood meeting?21. What did Mark think of the community’s problems?22. Why did Mark smile on his ride home?Passage ThreeA distressing childhood can lead to heart disease. What about current stresses? Longer workouts, threats of layoffs, collapsing pension funds. A study last year on the lancer examine more than 11,000 heart attack suffers from 52 countries. It found that in the year before their heart attacks. Patients had been under significantly more strains than some 30,000 healthy control subjects. Those strains came from work, family, financial troubles, depression in other causes. "Each of these factors individually was associated with increased risk," says Doctor Salim Yussef, Professor of medicine and candidates McMaster University and senior investigator on the study. Together, they accounted for 30% to overall heart attack risk. But people respond differently to high-pressure work situations, whether it produces hard problems seems to depend on whether you have a sensitive control over life or live at the mercy of circumstances and superiors. That was experiences of John Connell, a rock food Illinois laboratory manager, who suffered his first heart attack in 1996 at the age of56. In the 2 years before, his mother and 2 of his children had suffered serious illnesses, and his job had been changed in a re-organization. "My life seemed completely out of control," he says, "I had no idea where I would end up." He ended up in hospital due to a block in his artery. 2 months later, he had a triple by-pass surgery. The second heart attack when he was 58, left his doctor shaking his head. "There's nothing more we can do for you, “doctors told him.23. What does the passage mainly discuss?24. What do we learn about John Connell's family?25. What did John Connell's doctors tell him when he had a second heart attack?Section CWhen most people think of the word “education,” they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing, the teachers are supposed to stuff “education”. But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not inserting the stuffing of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him. It is the drawing out of what is in the mind. “The most important part of education,” once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the distinguished Harvard philosopher, “is this instruction of a man in what he has inside him”. ~~~. So many of the discussions and controversies about the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they are concerned with what should “go into “ the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done. The college student who once said to me, after a lecture, “I spend so much time studying that I don’t have a chanceto learn anything,” was clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with the sausage casing view of education.。

After buying some magazines to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect the heavy suitcase I had leftthere three days before. There were only a few people waiting, and 1 took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt did not seem to be where I had left it. I emptied the contents of the wallet, and railway tickets, money, scraps* of paper, and photographs tumbled* out of it; but no matter how hard 1 searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.When my turn came, I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man looked at me suspiciously as if to say that he had heard this type of story many times and asked me to describe the case. I told him that it was an old, brown-looking object no different from the many cases I could see on the shelves.The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If they were correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the articles I had hurriedly packed and wrote them down as they came to me. After I had done this, I went to look among the shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and for one dreadful moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked the receipt up, he could have easily claimed* the case already. This had not happened fortunately, for after a time, I found the case lying on its side high up in a corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away. Again I took out my wallet: this time to pay. 1 pulled out a ten-shilling note and the "lost" receipt slipped out with it. I could not help blushing*and glanced up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen before, too!Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.l.C 2.

I had just taken my place in class, when I noticed a small shining coin a few feet away from my desk.I am sure it was not the desire for gain which prompted me to stoop and pick it up, for the coin was a farthing and almost completely worthless. But its newness attracted me, and the fact that I could not spend a coin of such small value made me want to keep it forever. As the teacher was talking to us, I pretended to drop a pencil and bent over. From that moment, the coin was mine.The farthing and I remained firm friends for years. Trousers wore out, but the coin survived. It lived to see short trousers become long ones; it accompanied me in my youth and early manhood. It joined the army with me during the war, and later came to the office every day when I became a civilian again.Every night when I emptied my pockets and placed their contents on my bedside table, the coin made its appearance. Sometimes, it would play hide-and-seek with me and make me dig deeply into my pockets. But sure enough, it was always there, trapped inside larger items, like a pen-knife, or sleeping in the folds of my handkerchief. It certainly kept strange company. When I was a boy, it would attach itself to sticky sweets, or get caught in pieces of wire. When I grew up, it took its place proudly beside the silver coins that jingled in my pocket. It had reason to be proud, for I am sure it knew that I would rather have lost every single silver coin I had than part with the precious little farthing. It did not shine any more, but at nighttime it would unfailingly arrive, last but smiling, and look up at me from my bedside table. One night, however, the coin was missing. I searched everywhere, but weeks passed and I did not find it. This time I realized sadly that it had gone for good and could only hope that it had found some nicer pocket to live in.Exercise: Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.l.

It is about 2,200 meters above sea level.The mountains receive an average of seven-and-one-half meters of snow each winter.The Utah Olympic Park extends over 150 hectares of land. The Park has five areas for ski jump competitions. In warm weather, skiers train on special man-made jumps.An Olympic size track has been built for bobsleigh* and luge* competitions. It is one of only three such tracks in North America. The track is close to the ground and has fifteen turns. Its path is similar in shape to the land.The Utah Olympic Park will hold four major events during the 2002 Winter Games. They are the Nordic skiing*, bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton competitions.

This is important. we’ ll have to tackle the problems of the exporting step by step. And the first move is to get an up-to-date picture of where we stand now.M: Why don’t we just concentrate on expending here at home?W: Of course, we should hold on to our position here. But you must admit the market here is limited.M: Yes, but it’s safe. The government keeps out foreigners with import controls. So I must admit I feel sure we could hold our own against foreign bikes.W: I agree. That’s why I am suggesting exporting. Because I feel we can compete with the best of them.M: What you are really saying is that we’d make more profit by selling bikes abroad, where we have a cost advantage and can charge high prices.W: Exactly.M: But, wait a minute. Packaging, shipping, financing, etc. will push up our cost and we could no better off, maybe worse off.W: OK. Now there are extra cost involved. But if we do it right, they can be built into the price of the bike and we can still be competitive.M: How sure are you about our chances of success in the foreign market?W: Well, that’s the sticky one. It’s going to need a lot of research. I’m hoping to get your help. Well, come on, Jack. Is it worth it, or not?M: There will be a lot of problems.W: Nothing we can’t handle.M: Um… I’m not that hopeful. But, yes, I think we should go ahead with the feasibility study.W: Marvelous, Jack. I was hoping you be on my side.9. What does the woman intend to do?10. Why does the man think it’s safe to focus on the home market?11. What is the man’s concern about selling bikes abroad?12. What do the speakers agree to do?Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.13.A) Coal burnt daily for the comfort of our homes.B) Anything that can be used to produce power.C) Fuel refined from oil extracted from underground.D) Electricity that keeps all kinds of machines running.14.A) Oil will soon be replaced by alternative energy sources.B) Oil reserves in the world will be exhausted in a decade.C) Oil consumption has given rise to many global problems.D) Oil production will begin to decline worldwide by 2025.15.A) Minimize the use of fossil fuels. B) Start developing alternative fuels.C) Find the real cause for global warming. D) Take steps to reduce the greenhouse effect. Conversation 2W: What does the term “alternative energy source”mean?M: When we think of energy or fuel for our homes and cars, we think of petroleum, a fossil fuel processed from oil removed from the ground, of which there was a limited supply. But alternative fuels can be many things. Wind, sun and water can all be used to create fuel.W: Is it a threat of running out of petroleum real?M: It has taken thousands of years to create the natural stores of petroleum we have now. we are using what is available at a much faster rate that it is being produced over time. The real controversy surrounding the mass petroleum we have is how much we need to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that by around 2025, the petroleum we use will reach a peak. Then production and availability will begin to seriously decline. This is not to say there will be no petroleum at this point. But it’ll become very difficult and therefore expensive to extract.W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fuel and energy sources?M: The two very clear reasons to do so, one is that whether we have 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find other fuel sources eventually. So the sooner we start, the better off we will be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels, you release substances trapped into the ground for a long time, which leads to some long-term negative effects, like global warming and greenhouse effect.13. What do we usually refer to when we talk about energy according to the man?14. What do most experts agree on according to the man?15. What does the man think we should do now?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
