In colleges, many students, first year students in particular, are short of abilities to learn what they are supposed to learn. They feel confused by all their homework load, wondering where and how to begin. They often feel depressed as well, with no spoon feeding like what they used to get from their high school teachers.
There are some measures for teachers to take to help them out. First, teachers should make clear to the students what their learning objectives are. Second and more significantly, teachers have the responsibility to impart to them effective learning strategies, to help them with good learning habits. Third, convenient and smooth communication between teachers and students should be established, so that students could get timely guidance from teachers while teachers might help monitor students’ learning process.
Only if students could acquire the ability of learning autonomously, could they achieve their learning objectives in college and their goals in real life. It is also beneficial to their lifelong learning, cultivating of critical thinking and success in their career.

M: Oh my goodness! The coldness is just unbearable here in Beijing. I wish we went to Hong Kong for this winter holiday instead.
W: That’s true. But with the museums and libraries here I believe I’ll be more than happy in this city no matter how cold it is outside.
Q: What does the woman mean?
12. M: How’s the new semester going? I know you’re always the apple of your teachers'eye.
W: To be honest, I’m learning much knowledge this year, but I wish there could be some chances for me to apply them.
Q: What does the woman want to do?
13. M: Can you help me improve my pronunciation Olivia?
W: No problem, but whatever you want to achieve here remember be careful not to overdo it and do it step by step. Last time I had tried to read aloud for two hours nonstop every morning in three days and, you know what, my throat hurts and I can even feel it now.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
14. M: My desk computer has been working quite well for the last three years. Alas, it didn’t work yesterday. I don’t know why.
W: Forget it, Joe. It’s out of fashion now. And it’ll cost more to get it repaired than to get a new device. So why not try iPad.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
15. W: I’ve heard about your success in final exams, you must be satisfied with it.
M: Yes, but not really, my scores are good, but there is a long way for me to go to be as good as the best student Joseph.
Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
16. W: I can’t decide what to do about the con cert tomorrow. Too much
homework, you know.
M: You don’t have to go if something more important catches you, but I’ll be glad to go together with you if you want to.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
17. W: Professor Grant suggested I work harder on my practical writing this semester
M: Well, that might help. Last semester you barely got by with a passing score on practical writing. You’d better spend more time on it.
Q: What does the man mean?

W: Jeff, have you heard the latest gossip about restriction on buying private cars in some big cities? It appears it will extend to every city all over the country in future.
M: Oh, that’s right, but that’s none of my business. I’ve had one to my name.

w: Social networking seems very popular among young people all over the world. It seems they
can not carry on with their daily life without getting online.
M: Yeah, that’s true. They email, chat online, find friendship, maybe even
meet their loves on the Internet. In a word, they stay online all day long. W: Speaking of finding romance, I came across a matchmaking website designed specially for the disabled people the other day.
M: Oh, isn’t it great for those with physical problem s? Tell me more about it. Isn’t it very considerate of the website founder to start something like this?
W: The CEO of this online dating site Ann Robbins decided to set up a website for singles with disabilities when a young man in a wheelchair came to h er for match making. You know, she realizes it’s impossible to match him with her usual clients. So she began to …
M: But, we know it’s hard for the disabled to deal with tasks necessary in their daily life. It must be a challenge for them to find and love someone. W: Yes. But Robbins has taken many measures to cope with that. She managed to add some unique features to the dating site. Members can get one-on-one help with their profile, schedule an interview with the matchmaker, receive life coaching, date and relationship coaching, as well as submit questions to “Ask the Coach” via email. Answers are posted weekly on the site's blog.

W: Have you noticed the increasing number of international students on our campus recently? It’s good to have them to promote diversity in students in our school.
M: Yeah…. Well, as far as I know, things don’t stop there. According to the Association of American Universities, which represents large college campuses in the United States and Canada, 11 of its 61 American member institutions have foreign-born chiefs, up from 6 five years ago.
W: That means we have more professors from foreign countries.
M: Exactly. Actually they are born in foreign countries. According to the Association of American Universities again, those newly appointed university presidents mainly come from India, the Philippines, and Iran. M: The world is definitely shrinking, huh? With the increasing number of international students
and professors on American campuses, how can we name this trend, the globalization of American higher education?
W: That’s a good phrase for that phenomenon. It does give us the American students a stronger sense of being world citizens.
M: Right, that’s actually one of the goals of higher education.
W: That’s what we are told since the start of college life. But, imagine, you wake up and find you
are surrounded by international students and teachers, and we American students become the minority
on campus,
how do you feel about that?
M: Certainly, I’ll feel lost, I’ll feel I’m not in America. I may ask myself, where is America?
W: I’ll have the same response if everyday I attend classes together with people who don’t look like me at all.
M: Even w orse, we may face fierce competition with them when it’s time for college graduates to find jobs in the real world.
W: Who knows?! Let’s hurry up. The lecture starts soon.

Section B
Directions:
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). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through
the centre.
Passage One
For years governments in Australia have recognized two promises to young people. One is that all
young people should have the chance to finish 12 years of schooling or its vocational equivalent. The other is that all young people who have left school and want to work are able to do so.
Australian governments have tried hard to meet these promises. But, governments are not fully
meeting those. Each year one in three teenagers leaves school without finishing year 12 ed
ucation.
Some students later complete a year 12 equivalent education. But, one in five young Australians never
completes this level of education. Also staying jobless is high among young people.
Many young persons without a year 12 level of education will not switch successfully from
education into work. That provides problems for the young persons themselves and for the society as well.
About 270,000 teenagers leave school each year. Of these, about 86,000 students leave schools
without completing year 12 education. Over 50,000 young people in each age group never complete year 12 equivalent education. This is really a high non-completion rate.
Early school leavers are less likely to work. They are more likely to be unemployed than are year
12 leavers. About 42,000 early school leavers in 2000 were much underemployed and in low amounts of education.
So, early school leavers are going through constant unemployment, higher unemployment rates, and lower incomes than do year 12 students.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. How do Australian governments view the two promises to young people?
27. What may be true with young man with a year 12 education?
28. What will happen to one without a year 12 level of education?
29. What happened to early school leavers in 2000?
Passage Two
Been squinting a lot lately? Have to move your book six inches away from your eyes to read it?
Vision problems pop up on you as you become older. But good habits can help keep your eyes healthy.
Try these simple tips to protect your vision now and for years to come.
Don't forget your shades. You need to avoid the sun's ultraviolet rays at every age. That's because the rays can cause eye diseases, increased nearsightedness, and skin cancer around the eyes.
Wear sunglasses anytime you're outdoors or driving (keep a spare pair in your car), even if it'sovercast —ultraviolet rays can do harm when it's cloudy, too.
Enlarge the distance between your eyes and the monitor. Spending hours in front of a computer can cause tired, aching, and dry eyes, and possibly eyestrain headaches. Avoid these problems by placing your monitor as far as possible from your eyes, but not so far that you have to push your eyes too hard.
Also, look away from the screen periodically to rest your eyes and change focus, and try a low-voltage floor lamp in place of bright overhead lights.
A comfortable screen filter (available at most office-supply stores) may help, too.
Work up a sweat. Exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight help prevent diabetes, a chief cause of vision impairment that may lead to blindness.
“Doctors are diagnosing people in their 40s and 50s with diabetes in nearly increasing numbers,” says Scott Greenstein, at Harvard Medical School.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. Why are sunglasses recommended even in cloudy days?
31. Which of the following measures could help improve one’s vision when working a computer?
32. According to the passage, what is the relationship between body weight and vision?
Passage Three
If you're merely posting your résuméonline for open positions on job sites, you're not effectively job hunting. As a recent college graduate, you should be reaching out to every possible contact you can think of. Then, after you speak with your various contacts and notify them that you are on the job hunt...
The secret for securing a job is: follow-up, follow-up, and follow-up!
I'll give you an example of myself. While searching for my current position, a former teacher of mine told me to email a friend of hers to see whether he knew of any available positions.
I emailed the gentleman on a Tuesday afternoon. A week went by and I never received a response. My first gut reaction was, “eh, he's not worth my time.” My second, more rational reaction was, “Well, perhaps he just didn't get the email or m aybe he was just too busy to respond.” So, I
wrote this man a follow-up email.
Within three minutes of sending the follow-up email, my cell phone rang. It was my former teacher's friend. He asked me to come to his office right away. Thanks to him, two weeks later I got my current job.
Remember, just because the email you send or the voice-mail you leave for someone is on your priority list, it doesn't mean it's on their priority list. In fact, it most likely is not. However, you can greatly increase your chances of getting someone's attention by politely following-up with them.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. According to the passage, what's the first step for one recent graduate to hunt for a job?
34. What did the speaker decide to do after receiving no reply from the gentleman?
35. What’s the key to following up in job hunting?
Section C
Directions:
In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
I still find it strange that mobile phones would like to be re-classified as offensive weapons by some people.
In my experience a (36) potentially offensive weapon would be something like chemicals in science or a chisel in (37) design and technology. But we don’t (38) ban these things from schools — instead we teach and work with our children to use these (39) tools safely and responsibly.
Of course a (40) union or local education authority could suggest that children just don’t bring their phones to school. But I (41) suspect that
many parents would not be very happy about this for perceived safety and (42) security reasons.So instead we end up giving children (43) mixed messages. Students are allowed to bring their phones to school, because they are important, but they are not allowed to use them. (44) A better way to manage phone use might be to develop strict policy at a local level. This policy should put the decision of whether children should or shouldn’t be all owed to use mobile phones in class directly into the hands of the classroom teacher. I think (45) it would be better to trust
the teacher with this decision rather than suggesting a blanket ban.
Every year we hear some horror stories of children misusing mobile phones in class. (46) To my knowledge these stories normally come from classrooms where these devices are banned. Why don’t we start from a basis of trust, emphasize responsible, safe use and apply common sense to this issue?。
