His best friend is his wife, because she knows what kind of moodhe is in.（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A）解析：[解析]They say "a friend in need is a friend indeed" which is partly true, but a real friend should also be able to share your happy moments — without feeling jealous. A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don't feel hurt ifa friend doesn't feel like seeing you. Of course, honesty is an essential part of any relationship. We should learn to accept our friends for what they are. And as I say, our friends give us a lot of pleasure. After all, friends should not be people with whom you kill time. Real friendship, in my opinion, is a "spiritually developing" experience.(2).Questions 9-13·You will hear five different opinions about friendship.·For questions 9-13, choose from the list A-F what friendships mean to them.·Use the letters only once.

I've never regarded them as particularly important. Perhaps that'sbecause I come from a big family. I have two brothers and three sisters, and lots of cousins. And that's what's really important to me. My family, the different members of my family. If you really need help, you get it from your family, don't you? Well, at least that's what I've always found.(3).Questions 9-13·You will hear five different opinions about friendship.·For questions 9-13, choose from the list A-F what friendships mean to them.·Use the letters only once.

It's more important even than love. If you love someone, you can always fall out of love again, and that can lead to a lot of hurt feelings, bitterness, and so on. But a good friend is a friend for life. Well, I've already said, someone you know you can count on.I suppose what I really mean is... let's see, how am I going to put this.., it's someone who will help you if you need help, who'll listen to you when you talk about your problem.., someone you can trust.(4).Questions 9-13·You will hear five different opinions about friendship.·For questions 9-13, choose from the list A-F what friendships mean to them.·Use the letters only once.

I have two friends. One works in the theatre, and one is a sort of businessman. We see each other about three or four times a year. But I wouldn't call that being a best friend, which is a close friend. I think my best friend, without getting too soppy, is my wife. She is my totally best friend. I can discuss anything with her and she can pick up on feelings that I've got inside me, whereas my two friends can never do that unless I'm showing an expression on my face. Then they'll say, "Oh, what's the matter?" But with my wife,I can walk into a room and she knows exactly what kind of mood I'm in. That is a best friend.(5).Questions 9-13·You will hear five different opinions about friendship.·For questions 9-13, choose from the list A-F what friendships mean to them.·Use the letters only once.

I've kept in touch with three people from school days. We don't see each other very often, but the thing about it is when we do see each other it's as if there's been no time spent apart. We're able just to slip into our relationship again at once. It's like wearing a pair of shoes that you've had for a long time: It's comfortable, it's safe and it's warm and it's easy. I rate friendship as this: A friend is someone who can understand me, understand all the nuances and all the facets that I have about me, and I can perform towards them in the same manner.四、Part 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Questions 14-23·Look at the ten statements for this part.·You will hear a story about communication through time.·Decide whetheryou think each statement is right(R) wrong(W) or not mentioned(NM).·You will listen to it twice.·Markyour answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 14-23·Look at the ten statements for this part.·You will hear a story about communication through time.·Decide whetheryou think each statement is right(R) wrong(W) or not mentioned(NM).·You will listen to it twice.·Markyour answers on the Answer Sheet.（分数：10.00）(1).In social life, time plays a very important part.A.

Not Mentioned（分数：1.00）A.B. √C.解析：[解析] 14-23The Voices of TimeTime talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.Consider the different parts of the day, for example the time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work. Whenever they want to make an important announcement, they ask, "When shall we let them know?"In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused by a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00 a.m. On an island in the South Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of the island met one night to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solution, they went to see the plant manager and woke him up to tell him what had been decided. Unfortunately, it was after two o'clock in the morning. They did not know that it is a very serious matter to wake up the Americans at this hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called out the military. It never occurred to him (or to the natives) that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans, which are made for a date more than a week away, tend to be forgotten.(5).The time chosen for the call doesn't communicate its importance.A.

" I am constantly surprised by other people's surprise, when they come to the house andsee me cleaning a floor or hanging out the washing. Their eyes open wide at the sight of it! Much of the comment comes from men, but i am even more surprised at the number of women who comment too."His wife Jane, an Oxford graduate in modem languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House Literacy Scheme for Adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in sole charge of home and family.A part from this, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers his principal work — writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in the British Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton.People ask the Maces if they think that their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to reserve time and energy to play with their children. And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children.Previously, Rodney Mace worked full-time and Jane only part-time. Then 18 months ago, the director of the literacy scheme left. "It seemed to me that Jane was very well suited to do this job. She was very doubtful about it. But I urged her to apply. She did, and she got it." Jane Mace confirms that she needed this encouragement, as so many women initially do.Did his male ego suffer from the change-over? Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it changed his thinking: " I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief. I wasn't avoiding responsibility, but just by changing it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us —I think for all of us, in every aspect of our lives." I cannot overemphasize that: in every aspect. I think it is fundamental that the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is an illusion if one partner doesn’t work．(2).At one time, Rodney Mace ______.A. spent all his time writing booksB. taught architecture and historyC. had a full-time job（分数：2.00）A.B.C. √解析：(3).Jane finally decided to apply for her present job because ______.A. she thought she had better qualifications than othersB. her husband had persuaded her toC. it was very well paid（分数：2.00）A.B. √C.解析：(4).The Maces ______.A. neglect their childrenB. always manage to spend some time with their childrenC. have helped find friends for their children（分数：2.00）A.B. √C.解析：(5).It is implied in the passage that ______.A. the Maces believe a good career is even more important than their family lifeB.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked[A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and write your answerson Answer Sheet 1.Passage1Phones are now the dominant technology with which young people, and urban youth in particular, now define themselves. What sort of phone you carry and how you customize it says a great deal about you, just as the choice of car did for a previous generation. In today's congested cities, you can no longer make a statement by pulling up outside a bar in a particular kind of car. Instead, you make a similar statement by displaying your mobile phone, with its carefully chosen ringtone, screen logo and slip cover. Mobile phones, like cars, are fashion items: in both cases, people buy new ones far more often than is actually necessary. Both are social technologies that bring people together; for teenagers, both act as symbols of independence. And cars and phones alike promote freedom and mobility, with unexpected social consequences.The design of both cars and phones started off being defined by something that was no longer there. Cars were originally horseless carriages, and early models looked suitably carriage-like;only later did car designers realize that cars could be almost any shape they wanted to make them. Similarly, mobile phones used to look much like the push-button type of fixed-line phones, only without the wire. But now they come in a bewildering range of strange shapes and sizes.Less visibly, as the structure of the mobile-phone industry changes, it increasingly resembles that of the car industry. Handset-makers, like carmakers, build some models themselves and have the design and manufacturing done by others. Specialist firms supply particular sub-assemblies in both industries. Outwardly different products are built on a handful of common underlying "platforms" in both industries, to reduce costs. In each case, branding and design are becoming more important as the underlying technology becomes increasingly interchangeable. In phones, as previously happened in cars, established western companies are facing stiff competition from nimbler Asian firms. Small wonder then that Nokia, the world's largest handset-maker,recruited its design chief,Frank Nuovo,from BMW.That mobile phones are taking on many of the social functions of cars is to be welcomed. While it is a laudable goal that everyone on earth should someday have a mobile phone, cars2ubiquity produces mixed feelings. They are a horribly inefficient mode of transport - why move a ton of metal around in order to transport a few bags of groceries? - and they cause pollution.A chirping handset is a much greener form of self-expression than an old banger, it may irritate but it is safe. In the hands of a drunk driver, a car becomes a deadly weapon. That is not true of a phone (though terrorists recently rigged mobile phones to trigger bombs in Madrid). Despite concern that radiation from phones and masts causes health problems, there is no clear evidence of harm, and similar worries about power lines and computer screens proved unfounded. Less pollution, less traffic, fewer alcohol-related deaths and injuries: the switch from cars to phones cannot happen soon enough.1. For young people,mobile phones are like cars because[A] they are made with advanced technology.[B] they are used in social activities.[C] they should be changed frequently.[D] they symbolize their independence.2. The design of mobile phones[A] emphasizes the shape and size more than technology.[B] is modeled on that of automobiles.[C] evolves in a similar way to car design.[D] has been influenced by the shape of fixed-line phones.3. In what way does the mobile phone industry resemble the automobile industry?[A] The model building is done by other companies.[B] Specialist firms contribute most of the assemblies.[C] The cost of production needs to be rationalized.[D] Production is concentrated on a few select platforms.4. Nokia recruited its design chief from BMW to[A] increase the competitive edge of its brand and design.[B] enhance cooperation with the automobile industry.[C] make use of automobile technology in handset manufacturing.[D] produce interchangeable parts for cars and mobile phones.5. What can be concluded from the passage?[A] The replacement of cars by mobile phones arouses mixed feelings.3[B] Mobile phones are a device more friendly to environment.[C] Mobile phones can be used for terrorist purposes.[D] Mobile phones generate harm to the human body as computer screens do.Passage2I prefer to think of our moment as a renaissance rather than a revolution. So many people talk about this computer revolution in terms of the individual user who is empowered to express himself, break down obsolete institutions, or topple the corporate-industrial monoliths. I used to do so myself, but it's an unnecessarily polar and combative vision. And once it's reduced to the idea of empowering individuals, all those individuals start looking a lot more like consumers than autonomous human beings. It devolves quickly into“one-to-one marketing".I used to think that this acceleration of human action was a great thing. I thought we'd simply bypass our restricting editorial voices, get our super-egos out of the way, and behave in that purely spontaneous, wonderful fashion that all human beings would behave in if they were uncorrupted by social and institutional biases. Until about three years ago, I thought that we should just let technology develop at its own pace and in its own way. I wrote three loud books about the potential of the new media and honestly believed I was writing them for what I conceived of as the "counterculture" ideology - or at least for people who sought to use these technologies for a thoughtful, positive cultural evolution. I told the story of how our tightly controlled media was giving way to a more organic, natural mediaspace. Media used to be a top-down affair. People like William Randolph Hearst or Rupert Murdoch could make decisions from the upper floors of glass skyscrapers, and their messages would trickle down to the rest of us through the one-way media. But now, thanks to computers and camcorders and the Internet and modems, the media have been forced to incorporate feedback and iteration. I wrote Media Virus! to announce that the time had come when we could launch any idea we wanted, that the power was in our hands again. I wrote books about how young people understood media better than adults and were already using it in new,exciting ways.At the time, I saw everyone who called for us to put on the brakes, or to put new governors on the development of culture, as the enemy of our cultural evolution. Their vigilance would prevent us from reaching the next level of complexity. But something kept nagging at me. I couldn't help thinking that when you eliminate fear and simply follow your desires, you don't always get the best results. In the worst case, it can even be a recipe for fascism. Over the past few years we have just let the Internet go, and we've got an electronic strip mall as a result. We thought authority was unnecessary and kept it out of our network. That's what gave market forces a free rein. So I started to explore whether there is a way to foster growth, new thought,4cultural innovation, and even markets without getting absolutely carried away and losing all sense of purpose.1. According to the author,which of the following statements is true?[A] The change caused by the computer is not as radical as people thought.[B] The corporate industries are becoming obsolete.[C] The Internet has its own market value.[D] We have little control over the development of technology.2. From the second paragraph it can be inferred that the writer[A] had an objective view of the computer revolution at first.[B] has changed his views about the computer revolution.[C] does not know very much about the computer revolution.[D] overestimated the advantages of the computer revolution.3.

David Sarnoff felt prompted to issue a statement in defense of the TV industry, He pointed out that there was much good in its programs that was being overlooked while its occasional derelictions were being excessively stressed. It struck me that what he was saying about TV applied to other aspects of American culture as well, particularly to the theatrical productions.Without necessarily resting on his conviction that the good outweighed the bad in American cultural activity. I saw further implications in Gen. Sarnoff's declaration. Audiences needed to be sensitized more and more to the positive qualities of the entertainment and cultural media. In addition, through such increased public sensitivity,producers would be encouraged to provide ever more of the fine, and less of the sordid.Here is where questions arise. If the exemplary aspects of TV are not being recognized, what is the reason for such a lack of appreciation? Similarly, and further, if the theatre, including in this term the legitimate stage, on and off Broadway as well as the moving pictures, has large measures of goodness, truth and beauty which are unappreciated, how are we to change this situation?All in all, what should be done to encourage and condone the good, and to discourage and condemn the unsavory in the American cultural pattern?These are serious and pressing questions - serious for the survival of the American Way of Life, and pressing for immediate and adequate answers. Indeed the simple truth is that the face that America shows the world affects seriously the future of democracy all over the globe.Since the theatre in its broadest sense is a large aspect of American culture – its expression as well as its creation - I saw the urgent importance of bringing the worthwhile elements in the American Theatre to the fore. Especially was this importance impressed on me when l realized how much Hollywood was involved in exporting American life to the world, and how much Broadway with all its theatres meant to the modern drama.Then the thought of the Bible came to me in this connection. Was not the Bible the basis of Western civilization as far as morals are concerned? Why not use the Bible as guide and touchstone, as direction and goal in the matter of the cultural achievements of Western society? Thus was born "The Bible on Broadway".It is well known that the drama had its origin in religion. The Greeks, the Romans, as well as the early Hebrews, all had forms of the drama which among the first two developed into our classical plays.In the Middle Ages, it was the Church in the Western World that produced the morality and mystery plays. With such a long history it is not surprising to find an affinity between the Bible and the Theatre.61. What did David Sarnoff's remarks imply?[A] The audience should not be too picky about TV programs.[B] The audience should be aware of the positive aspects of TV programs.[C] The audience need to be provided with a better variety of TV programs.[D] The audience should be encouraged to be critical of TV programs.2. Which of the following statements regarding the theatre would the author most likely agreewith?[A] Critics of American cultural life are biased.[B] The theatre does not reflect American culture.[C] The entertainment media contain much wholesome content.[D] Hollywood has served as the primary source for entertainment.3. Which of the following statements best reflects the author's own ideas?[A] American art forms have degenerated to a new low.[B] The good outweighs the bad in American cultural activity.[C] Only the biblical content of American theatre has positive meaning.[D] Positive content in American culture is not appreciated by the public.4. The expression"the Bible as guide and touchstone" in Paragraph 8 probably means[A] an academic approach to theatrical research.[B] a source of inspiration for audience.[C] standards principle in theatrical production.[D] the use of the Bible as a criterion in everyday life.5. What is the author primarily concerned with?[A] The development of American theatre.[B] The declining trend of morality in America.[C] The lowness of morality in American theatre.[D] The role of the Bible in the contemporary theatre.Passage4A nine year old schoolgirl single handedly cooks up a science fair experiment that ends up debunking a widely practiced medical treatment. Emily Rosa’s target was a practice known as therapeutic touch (TT for short), whose advocates manipulate patients’“energy field”to make7them feel better and even, say some, to cure them of various ills. Yet Emily’s test shows that these energy fields can’t be detected, even by trained TT practitioners. Obviously mindful of the publicity value of the situation, Journal editor George Lundberg appeared on TV to declare, “Age doesn’t matter.It’s good science that matters,and this is good science.”Emily’s mother Linda Rosa, a registered nurse, has been campaigning against TT for nearly a decade. Linda first thought about TT in the late ‘80s, when she learned it was on the approved list for continuing nursing education in Colorado. Its 100,000 trained practitioners (48,000 in the U.S.) don’t even touch their patients.Instead, they waved their hands a few inches from the patient’s body, pushing energy fields around until they’re in “balance.”TT advocates say these manipulations can help heal wounds, relieve pain and reduce fever. The claims are taken seriously enough that TT therapists are frequently hired by leading hospitals,at up to $70 an hour, to smooth patients’ energy,sometimes during surgery.Yet Rosa could not find any evidence that it works. To provide such proof, TT therapists would have to sit down for independent testing—something they haven’t been eager to do, even though James Randi has offered more than $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate the existence of a human energy field. (He’s had one taker so far. She failed.) A skeptic might conclude that TT practitioners are afraid to lay their beliefs on the line. But who could turn down an innocent fourth grader? Says Emily: “I think they didn’t take me very seriously because I’m a kid.”The experiment was straight forward: 21 TT therapists stuck their hands, palms up, through a screen. Emily held her own hand over one of theirs left or right and the practitioners had to say which hand it was. When the results were recorded, they’d done no better than they would have by simply guessing. If there was an energy field, they couldn’t feel it.1. Which of the following is evidence that TT is widely practiced?[A] TT has been in existence for decades.[B] Many patients were cured by therapeutic touch.[C] TT therapists are often employed by leading hospitals.[D] More than100,000people are undergoing TT treatment.2. Very few TT practitioners responded to the$1million offer because________.[A] they didn’t take the offer seriously[B] they didn’t want to risk their career[C] they were unwilling to reveal their secret8[D] they thought it was not in line with their practice3. The purpose of Emily Rosa’s experiment was________.[A] to see why TT could work the way it did[B] to find out how TT cured patients’ illnesses[C] to test whether she could sense the human energy field[D] to test whether a human energy field really existed4. Why did some TT practitioners agree to be the subjects of Emily’s experiment?[A] It involved nothing more than mere guessing.[B] They thought it was going to be a lot of fun.[C] It was more straightforward than other experiments.[D] They sensed no harm in a little girl’s experiment.5. What can we learn from the passage?[A] Some widely accepted beliefs can be deceiving.[B] Solid evidence weighs more than pure theories.[C] Little children can be as clever as trained TT practitioners.[D] The principle of TT is too profound to understand.Section III Cloze (10 marks)Directions: Read the following text.

Smartphone Data to Give Early Warning of Earthquakes One day last August, in the early hours of the morning, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake rocked Napa Valley, waking people all around California's famed wine region. 1Once the quake was over, tracker company Jawbone gathered the data in a public graphic, using it to detail the differences in disturbance for life loggers in Berkeley, Oakland and San Jose. Now new research shows that sensors in smartphones can give early warning of an earthquake too. 2Many of us walk around laden with devices that compile data on our movements and interests - data that seismologists now want to help spot the next major earthquake. At the US Geological Survey, Benjamin Brooks is looking to smartphones rather than finely tuned scientific instruments to predict big quakes. Smartphones come equipped with GPS sensors that can tell where you're standing, give or take a few metres. 3They can also sense a sudden lurch in one direction - the kind of movement that, when logged by many people at once, might be a sign of a seismic shift. "Imagine all of Portland was out at a cafe on a sunny day, and everyone's smartphones were sitting on the table when one of these great earthquakes happened," says Brooks. "The whole city would appear to move." 4One simulation explored a model magnitude 7.0 earthquake along the Hayward fault, and another used actual location data recorded at scientific stations during Japan's devastating 2011 megaquake. Both scenarios suggested that data from around 5000 people would be enough to spot the beginnings of a major earthquake, leaving about 5 seconds to warn major population centres that hadn't yet felt its effects. When an earthquake is coming, a few seconds of warning can be crucial. 5"You get out in front of the situation and inform people before any ill effects," says Brooks. Smart sensing This isn't seismologists' first foray into smart phones. Two years ago, researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena came out with an app, Crowdshake, which monitors a phone's accelerometer. 6Until then, Brooks and his colleagues plan to keep putting smartphones to the test. In an upcoming pilot in Chile, about 250 phones will be stripped of their standard GPS cards and placed in boxes around the country, where they'll lie in wait to record the next big earthquake. Others have found ingenious ways to tap into human activity to locate quakes. 7 Whenever there's a sudden surge of traffic to their website, they look at where visitors are accessing it from to get a sense of where the earthquake is and how strong it might be. 8Within a couple of minutes, they have enough information to publish their first unconfirmed reports of the quake. "The internet is the nervous system of the planet," says Remy Bossu, secretary general at the centre. "If we want to make rapid earthquake information available to the public and authorities, we have to focus on the earthquakes that matter for them."A. At the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center, seismologists rely on the internet to pinpoint where earthquakes are happening around the globe.B. Many were wearing fitness trackers.C. Unfortunately, with GPS data it isn't as simple as building an app: smartphone manufacturers don't currently provide access to the raw data required.D. While Jawbone's post didn't inspire confidence in the privacy of users' data, it did make a point: humans can be useful sensors.E. On an ordinary day, these are what allow us to map our way to a store or geolocate our tweets.F. Fire-station doors could start to raise, gas pipelines could automatically shut off, and city residents could jump to safety under a nearby desk.G. They also monitor Twitter for relevant keywords.H. Brooks and his colleagues have now tested what crowd sourced GPS data might look like in a real earthquake.（分数：16.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：B）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：D）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：E）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：H）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：F）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：G）解析：解析：空格前说如何通过网络来确定地震发生的位置和强度。

BFT考试(全国出国培训备选人员外语水平考试)-20(总分：90.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、Reading(总题数：5，分数：90.00)Happy Customers: Matter of Honor among JapaneseIn an age when personal service as a significant aspect of merchandising is dying out in the Untied States, Japan clings tenaciously to it. Service is viewed by people in Japan not as a luxury, but as an essential ingredient for the success of individual companies and the Japanese economy as a whole.Americans who move to Japan never get used to the range of services and courtesies taken for granted here. (1)Supermarket check-out counters have two or three people ringing up and bagging groceries. Some stores deliver, with each bag arriving neatly stapled closed. (2)Television shops normally send a technician to install and fine-tune a newly purchased set. (3) Car salespeople are known to bring new models around to customers' homes for test drives and loaners are available for people whose cars are in for repairs.There are no limits to what is home-delivered —video movies, dry cleaning, health foods, rented tailcoats (this last one requires tow visits from the sales staff, first for a fitting, second for delivery of the altered and freshly pressed garment). (4)Japanese barbers often give back massages as part of an ordinary haircut. (5)Department stores seem to have twice, if not three times the floor staff of American ones. (6) Upscale customers don't have to come in at all — the goods are taken to their homes for display and selection.Perhaps the darkest spot on personal service in Japan is how remarkably impersonal it can be. Everyone is treated exactly alike. (7) After a month's stay in a hotel, guests may find the staff still has no idea who they are.Still, the Japanese view service as the glue that holds commercial relationships together. If the correct personal contact and follow-up come with the first sale, a second is sure to come. Market share and loyal customers are the first goal, not short-term profit. (8)A. The technician will rush back if anything goes wrong.B. If they remove a customer's eyeglasses, they may polish the lenses before returning them.C. Employee's cheery greetings and directions, in fact, are often memorized from a company manual.D. Many stores wrap everything they sell.E. Service may cost but it helps ensure these more important objectives.F. Dry ice is inserted alongside the frozen foods to ensure that they don't spoil on the way.G. Office deliveries are common, too, especially of lunch.H. To those old enough to remember how things used to be at home, life can bring on twinges of nostalgia.（分数：16.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：H）解析：[解析] 此空格前面那句说的是移居日本的美国人从来没能习惯在这里被视为理所当然的服务和礼节的范畴。

For questions 9~13, choose from the list A-F what friendships mean to each speaker. Use the letters only once. There is one extra letter which you do not need to use. Speaker 1: They say “a friend in need is a friend indeed” which is partly true, but a real friend should also be able to share your happy moments —without feeling jealous. A good friendship is one where you accept and forgive faults, understand moods, and don’t feel hurt if a friend doesn’t feel like seeing you. Of course, honesty is an essential part of any relationship. We should learn to accept our friends for what they are. And as I say, our friends give us a lot of pleasure. After all, friends should not be people with whom you kill time. Real friendship, in my opinion, is a “spiritually developing”experience. Speaker 2: I’ve never had a lot of friends. I’ve never regarded them as particularly important. Perhaps that’s because I come from a big family. I have two brothers and three sisters, and lots of cousins. And that’s what’s really important to me. My family, the different members of my family. If you really need help, you get it from your family, don’t you? Well, at least that’s what I’ve always found.Speaker 3: To me friendship... having friends, people I know, I can really count on... to me that’s the most important thing in life. It’s more important even than love. If you love someone, you can always fall out of love again, and that can lead to a lot of hurt feelings, bitterness, and so on. But a good friend is a friend for life. Well, I’ve already said, someone you know you can count on. I suppose what I really mean is... let’s see, how am I going to put this... it’s someone who will help you if you need help, who’ll listen to you when you talk about your problem... someone you can trust. Speaker 4: A lot of people say they’ve got best friends, but I actually wonder how many people actually do have a best friend in the real sense of the word. I have two friends. One works in the theatre, and one is a sort of businessman. We see each other about three or four times a year. But I wouldn’t call that being a best friend, which is a close friend. I think my best friend, without getting too soppy, is my wife. She is my totally best friend. I can discuss anything with her and she can pick up on feelings that I’ve got inside me, whereas my two friends can never do that unless I’m showing an expression on my face. Then they’ll say, “Oh, what’s the matter?” But with my wife, I can walk into a room and she knows exactly what kind of mood I’m in. That is a best friend. Speaker 5: Erma, I feel that bestfriends are those who can understand you. I’ve kept in touch with three people from school days. We don’t see each other very often, but the thing about it is when we do see each other it’s as if there’s been no time spent apart. We’re able just to slip into our relationship again at once. It’s like wearing a pair of shoes that you’ve had for a long time: It’s comfortable, it’s safe and it’s warm and it’s easy. I rate friendship as this: A friend is someone who can understand me, understand all the nuances and all the facets that I have about me, and I can perform towards them in the same manner.

You will hear a man talking about the Wright Brothers. Decide whether you think each statement is right(R), wrong(W)or not mentioned(NM). In 1899, the Wright Brothers designed their first aircraft: a small, biplane glider. The Wright Brothers spent a great deal oftime observing birds in flight. They noticed that birds soared into the wind and that the air flowing over the curved surface of their wings created lift. Birds change the shape of their wings to turn and maneuver. They believed that they could use this technique to obtain roll control by warping, or changing the shape, of a portion of the wing. Over the next three years, Wilbur and his brother Orville designed a series of gliders which were flown in both unmanned and piloted flights. They recognized that control of the flying aircraft would be the most crucial and hardest problem to solve. Following a successful glider test, the Wrights built and tested a full-size glider. In 1900, the Wrights successfully tested their new 50-pound biplane glider in both unmanned and piloted flights. In fact, it was the first piloted glider. Based upon the results, the Wright Brothers planned to refine the controls and landing gear, and build a bigger glider. In 1901, the Wright Brothers flew the largest glider ever flown. Many problems occurred. The Wrights reviewed their test results and decided to build a wind tunnel to test a variety of wing shapes and their effect on lift. Based upon these tests, they planned to design a new glider with a 32-foot wingspan and a tail to help stabilize it. During 1902, the brothers flew numerous test glides using their new glider. With successful glides to verify their wind tunnel tests, the inventors planned to build a powered aircraft. After months of studying how propellers work the Wright Brothers designed a motor and a new aircraft. The craft weighed 700 pounds and came to be known as the Flyer. After two attempts to fly this machine, one of which resulted in a minor crash, Orville Wright took the Flyer for a 12-second, sustained flight on December 17,1903. This was the first successful, powered, piloted flight in history. In 1904, the first flight lasting more than five minutes took place on November 9. The Flyer II was flown by Wilbur Wright.

You will hear a passage about “Health and Fitness “. You will listen to it twice. For Questions 24-30, indicate which of the alternatives A, B, or C is the most appropriate response. Mark one letter A, B, or C on the Answer Sheet. Health and Fitness Not all Americans are physically fit, or even try to be. The overall population is becoming heavier, due to poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Some studies estimate that less than half of Americans exercise in their leisure time. Experts say that it is not because Americans “don’t know what’s good for them”—they just don’t do it. Compared to the beginning of the 1980s, three quarters of Americans in the 1990s say that physical fitness is more important to them now than it was then. But the National Center for Health Statistics reports that the number of people who are at least 20 percent over their desirable weight has risen from one in four to one in three Americans. Newspapers and magazines are full of information on nutrition and poor diet. Television news programs urge people to eat more vegetables and warn of the dangers of high-fat diets and high cholesterol levels —particularly heart disease and certain types of cancer. Since 1994 the government has required uniform labeling so that consumers can compare the fat and calories in the food they buy. Grocery stores are full of low-fat or fat-free cookies, crackers, bread, milk, margarine, mayonnaise, and even potato chips. Many Americans have switched to skim milk, but they still buy fancy, fat-rich ice cream. More than half of Americans say that they pay attention to the nutritional content of the food they eat, but they also say they eat what they really want whenever they feel like it. Experts say that it is a combination of social, cultural, and psychological factors that determine how people eat. A Newsweek article on America’s weight problems refers to “the culture of over-indulgence seemingly ingrained in American life. The land of plenty seems destined to include plenty of pounds as well,” they conclude. Part of the problem is that Americans eat larger portions and often go back for second helpings, in contrast to how much people eat in many other countries. Another factor is Americans’ love of fast food. Some estimates are that 50% of Americans eat pizza once every two weeks, a percentage that is no doubt quite a bit higher among high school and collegestudents. Americans are consuming more and more hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks at restaurants, not only because they like them but also because these foods are often the cheapest items on the menu. Another significant factor is Americans’ busy lifestyle. Since so many women are working, families are eating a lot of fast food, frozen dinners, and restaurant “takeout”. Some experts believe that Americans have really lost control of their eating; it is not possible to limit fat and calories when they eat so much restaurant and packaged food. It takes time to prepare fresh vegetables and fish; stopping at KFC(Kentucky Fried Chicken)on the way home from work is a much faster alternative. Often American families eat “on the run”instead of sitting down at the table together. This is the end of Part 4.

Set up by a bunch of venture-capital firms and other companies in New England, the three-month course will teach its "fellows" about renewable energy. To qualifyfor a fellowship, applicants must be successful entrepreneurs from other industries, such as IT or health care, and be zealous about profiting from greenery."A lack of talent, especially entrepreneurial talent, was one of the biggest bottlenecks to growth we identified in the clean-tech industry," says Peter Rothstein of Flagship Ventures, a venture-capital firm that is one of the programme's founders. That bottleneck worries investors, who have been pouring cash into everything from solar energy to hybrid electric cars: last year global investment in renewable-energy businesses alone rose by 60%, to $148.4 billion, according to New Energy Finance (NEF), a research firm.Although the prospect of minting money while helping to save the planet has attracted a stream of executives from other industries to clean-tech start-ups, few of them have much experience of their new field. In a recent global survey of 75 senior executives involved in clean-tech firms conducted by NEF and Heidrick & Struggles, a headhunter, over 90% cited top-level recruitment as a serious concern. Counting on converts from other industries is risky, because someof the skills needed to run clean-tech companies are very different from those required to, say, launch a website. For one thing, the bosses of renewable-energy start-ups need to understand enough about the science to be able to pluck scientists from obscurity. For another, they need a grasp of project-financing techniques for costly prototype power plants. They also need to be able to deal with capricious regulatory and fiscal regimes. "If you've never done anything in the energy space, it can be intimidating,"says Bill Davis, the boss of Ze-gen, a start-up that generates electricity from waste. Hence the New England bootcamp's goal of helping 25 aspiring green entrepreneurs a year to make the transition. As well as giving theman overview of the latest scientific research, the course also includes sessions on project finance and government regulations.Start-ups also face a battle for engineers and scientists. And assmall firms take advantage of a growing enthusiasm for greenery in East Asia and the Middle East, they also need more staff with international experience. Tracking down such rare pearls can be a distraction for busy bosses.Ann Cormack, the head of DI-BP Fuel Crops, a firm based in London that develops crops for biodiesel, reckons talent-spotting takes up about a fifth of her time. She has spent several months hunting for an agronomist, for instance, to no avail.Like the bosses of many other clean-tech firms, Ms Cormack is using headhunters. They like the clean-tech business because wages, on which their commissions tend to be based, are rising fast. Not so long ago, executives would do meaningful green jobs for menial pay. But in recent years, wages have soared as the industry has grown and attracted big utilities and private-equity firms. Now what matters to the geeks is a different kind of green. "Good people can set their own price tag," says one recruiter, "and they want jam tomorrow, not in five years." It looks like they'll get it.34、 Which of the following is a problem mentioned in the passagefor senior executives clean-tech firms?A. Poor payment.B. Low-level recruitment.C. Inexperience in clean-tech industry.D. Risk of converting from other industries.35、 The course for the senior executives will include the following sessions EXCEPT ______.A. international tradeB. government regulationsC. project-financing techniquesD. the latest scientific research on renewable energy36、 The goal of the executive-education programme is to ______.A. offer an opportunity to the bosses of the clean-tech firms to hunt for qualified employees.B. make the clean-tech industry more popular among people in other fields.C. help top executives from other fields to be better prepared for the clean-tech industry.D. attract more qualified top executives from other fields to the clean-tech industry.37、 According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. It is likely that clean-tech businesses will make large sums of money in the future.B. 75 top executives got fellowships of the programme this year.C. The clean-tech industry enjoys an increasing popularity in East Asia and the Middle East.D. Venture-capital firms have invested a large amount of moneyinto the clean-tech industry.38、 Ann Cormack is cited as an example to illustrate ______.A. how busy a boss ofa clean-tech firm isB. how long it takes to find an agronomistC. how a boss of a clean-tech firm looks for suitable candidatesD. how difficult it is for a boss ofa clean-tech firm to get a qualified employee39、 What does the expression "a different kind of green" (Line 5, Last Para.) refer to?A. Salaries.B. Commissions.C. New employees.D. Renewable energy.40、 What does the last sentence of the passage indicate?A. It will get easier for the headhunters to find qualified candidates for clean-tech firms.B. The wages of the executives of clean-tech firms will continue to increase.C. There will be more qualified top executives joining clean-tech industry.D. There will be more job vacancies offered by clean-tech firms. Part 1·Read thefollowingpassage, eight sentences have been removed from the article.·Choose from the sentences A-H the one whichfits each gap.·For each gap (1-8) mark one letter (A-H) on the Answer Sheet.·Do not mark any letter twice.The single, decisive factor that made it possible for mankind to settle in permanent communities was agriculture. (1) Once people could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable annual supple of it, their lives changed completely.Fanning was a revolutionary discovery. (2) With more food available, more people could be fed. Populations therefore increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of more complex social structures. (3)Farming the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams or regular rainfall. (4) Later communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasons.All of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way, in spite of regional and climaticdifferences. (5) Heavier pottery replaced animal-skin gourds as containers for food and liquids. Cloth could be woven from wool and flax. Permanent structures made of wood, brick, and stone could be erected.The science of mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculture. People studied the movements of the moon, the sun, and planets to calculate seasons. (6) With a calendar it was possible tocalculate the arrival of each growing season. Measurement of land areas was necessary if property was to be a factor in farming and housekeeping. (7) All of the major ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China emerged in the 4th millennium BC. Historians still debate over which one emerged first.It may well have been the Middle East, in an area called the Fertile Crescent. This region stretches from the Nile River in Egyptnorthward along the coast of former Palestine, then eastward intoAsia to include Mesopotamia. (8) This kind of larming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.A. It not only made settlements possible and ultimately thebuilding of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply.B. Later came measures of value as commodity and money exchange became common.C. In this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture.D. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC, people living in tribes or family units did not have to be on the move continually searching for food or herding their animals.E. As villages grew, the accumulation of more numerous and substantial goods became possible.F. With a food surplus, a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmers.G. The first great civilizations grow up along rivers.H. In doing so they created the first calendars.Part 1·Read the following passages, eight sentences have been removed from the article.·Choose.from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap.·For eac h gap (1-8) mark one letter (A-H) on the Answer Sheet.·Do not mark any letter twice.Today's career assumptions are you can get a lot of development, challenge and job satisfaction and not necessarily be in a management role.A new malady is running rampantly in corporate America: management phobia. (1)" I hated all the meetings," says a 10-year award-winning manager, "and I found the more you did for people who worked for you, the more they expected." (2)With technology changing in a wink, you can never slack off these days if you're on the technical side. (3)In addition, the Dilbert factor is at work. With Scott Adams's popular cartoon character— as well as many television sitcoms —routinely portraying managers as morons or enemies, they just don't get much respect anymore.Supervising others was always a tough task, but in the past that stress was offset by hopes for career mobility and financial rewards. (4)But in today's global, more competitive arena, a manager sits on an insecure perch. (5) There are far fewer rungs on the corporate ladder for managers to climb. In addition, managerial jobs demand more hours and headaches than ever before but offer slim, if any, financial paybacks and perks.Furthermore, managers now must supervise many people who are spread over different locations, even over differentcontinents. (6)In an age of entrepreneurship, when the most praised people in business are those launching something new, management seems like an invisible, thankless role. (7)Management layoffs have done much to erode interest in managerial jobs, of course. (8)A. Many people don't want to be a manager — and many people who are managers are, frankly, itching to jump off the management track — or have already.B. It's a rare person who can manage to keep up on the technical side and handle a management job, too.C. Restructuring have eliminated layer after layer of management as companies came to view their organizations as collections of competencies rather than hierarchies.D. They must manage across functions with, say, design, finance, marketing and technical people reporting to them.E. I was a counselor, motivator, financial adviser and psychologist.F. Employers are looking for people who can do things, not for people who make other people do things.G. American Management Association surveys say three middle managers are laid off for every one being hired.H. Along with a sizable pay raise, people chosen as managers would begin a nearly automatic climb up the career ladder to lucrative executive perks: stock options, company cars, club memberships, plus the key to the executive washroom.答案:ListeningPart 11、 six[解析] 5-8M: Hi, Miss Rowling, how old were you when you started to write?

Everything seems to happen like a dream and you are happy to have made the decision to work abroad. But as everyone knows, no honeymoon lasts forever.10、B[解析]Soon enough, the sheen rubs oft" the new, exciting, andfascinating experiences and you have to come back down from the clouds and actually live and work in this place. Suddenly you'llstart to discover that your ways of doing things—professionally and otherwise—just don't work in the new environment. Stores aren't open when you need them and leisure time is frustrating because the television programs and the films are dubbed in another language. As your troubles add up and no one wants to lend you a hand to help, you start thinking the locals are either incapable of understanding your problems or just don't care. This in turn triggers the emotion thatis one of the surest signs of culture shock: hostility to the new environment. You begin to hate your host country and everything connected with it.11、E[解析]Once you start rejecting your host culture, it's much harder to recast your attitude. You can either decide to try again—approacheverything again with a smile on your face and change your attitude—or you can take the easy road and just withdraw further into your shell. In the latter case, the signs for failure in the new locale are pretty clear: You refuse to continue learning the local language, make friends among the locals, or take any interest in the local culture. And worst of all, you begin to believe that people are out to swindle you just because you are a foreigner. Following this path will inevitably increase your isolation because people will sense the antagonism and begin to avoid you.12、C[解析]If you can make it through stage 3, the road to getting over cultural shock typically gets smoother. One day, you'll find yourself beginning to smile or even laugh at some of the things that caused you so much grief at the start. When this happens, you are on the road to recovery. As you begin to become more comfortable with the local language and customs, your self-esteem and self-confidence will return. Your affection for your new home will grow from reluctant acceptance to genuine fondness. You'll finally understand that it's not a matter of whether here is better than there: There aredifferent ways to live your life and no way is really better than another.13、A[解析]Many times, it's just about the time where things begin to jell that you may realize that your assignment is ending and the time has come to pack up and return home. Most start thinking about how niceit will be to return to familiar surroundings, back to friends and family and all the things you love and cherish. But the re-entry can be much harder than most realize. When you slowly forced yourself to like and love your new home abroad, you probably had to gradually deconstruct your long-held beliefs to make room for new values and ways of life. You adopted new habits and a new lifestyle and it can be difficult to go back to your old life. It will also take you quite some time to reacquaint yourself with your home culture.Part 314、B[解析] 14-23A Research on SleepWhen you first drift offinto slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax,and your breathing will slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm predominating forthe first few minutes. This is called Stage 1 sleep.For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through Stage 2 and Stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. Then, about 40—60minutes after you lose consciousness, you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the delta rhythm. This is Stage 4 sleep.You may think that you stay at this deep fourth stage all the rest of the night, but that turns out not to be the case. Instead, about80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your activity cycle placed by the activity pattern of brain waves increases. Your eyes will beginto dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of Rapid Eye Movements lasts for some 8—15 minutes and is called REM sleep.During both light and deep sleep, the muscles in your body arerelaxed but capable of movement. However, as you slip into REM sleep, a very odd thing occurs—most of the voluntary muscles in your body become paralyzed. Although your brain shows very rapid bursts of neural activity during REM sleep, your body is incapable of moving.In more technical terms—as we will see later in this chapter—we can say that REM sleep is accompanied by extensive muscular inhibition.15、A 16、C 17、A 18、B 19、B 20、A21、A 22、B 23、APart 424、A[解析] 14-23Today's program is all about eyes. When it comes to relationships, people's eyes can be a window into their hearts. This means thattheir eyes can tell a lot about how they feel. We will tell a story about a man and woman who are teachers at the same school. The womanis interested in the man. She uses many methods to catch his eye, or get him to notice her. Once he sets eyes on her,or sees her,she might try to get him interested in her by acting playful．In other words，she might try to make eyes at him or give him the eye．Let us suppose that this man gets hit between the eyes．In other words，the woman has a strong affect on him．He wants to spend time with her to get to know her better．He asks her out on a date．She is so happy that she may walk around for days with stars inher eyes．She is extremely happy because this man is the apple of her eye，a very special person．She might tell him that he is the only person she wants，or l only have eyes for you．On their date，the couple might eat a meal together at a restaurant．If the man is really hungry，his eyes might be bigger than his stomach．He might order more food than he can eat． When his food arrives at the table，his eyes might pop out．He might be very surprised by the amount of food provided．He might not even believe his own eyes．If fact，all eyes would be watching him if he ate all the food．This might even cause raised eyebrows．People might look at the man with disapproval．During their dinner，the couple might discuss many things．They might discover that they see eye to eye，or agree on many issues．They share the same beliefs and opinions．For example，they might agree that every crime or injury should be punished．That is，they firmly believe in the idea of an eye for an eye．They might also agree that it is wrong to pull the wool over a person’s eyes．This means to try to trick a person by making him believe something thatis false．But the man and woman do not believe in the evil eye，that a person can harm you by looking at you．The next day,at their school，the woman asks the man to keep an eye on，or watch the young students in her class while she is out of the classroom．This might be hard to do when the teacher is writing on a board at the front of the classroom．To do so，a teacher would need to have eyes in the back of his head．In other words，he would know what the children are doing even when he is not watching them．[解析] 文中说，“眼睛是心灵之窗，它们能告诉他人你所思所想”。

Even when I am writing advertising copy, I am writing for myself, in a sense that I derive pleasure for making a well-crafted sentence or clearly stating a thought. But there wouldn't be much point in writing if someone else isn't going to read it. So the reader's view comes into play pretty fast.填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：B）解析：[听力原文]I never write for the reader even when I am writing how-to articles. I write in a manner that I wouldn't want to be instructed. The way ! see it is that I am my own biggest critic. If I can write for myself and be happy with it, I have satisfied the only critic that I have to live with. Nothing else matters.填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：F）解析：[听力原文]For the most part, I write for myself because I don't know what readers will come my way and what they might be interested in. I just write about what I think is interesting in a style I am comfortable with, and then hope for a readership that likes both. Actually I hope for any readership.填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C）解析：[听力原文]Definitely for myself. As I don't like reading nearly as much as writing, so I wouldn't have a clue how to please my readers. The readers come into play when I consider if I will offend people by saying this or that, or if the possible offence is worth the idea or thought I put out there. 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A）解析：[听力原文]When it comes to blogging, there is no reason why they have to be mutually exclusive. Other types of writing need to be more targeted. For marketing materials and ad copy, the reader must be foremost. Journaling is for oneself. And I doubt fiction can be successful unless the reader is foremost in the writer's mind.四、Part 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Questions 14-23·Look at the ten statements for this part.·You will hear a short interview with George Jones, executive director for Bread for the City a private nonprofit organization.·Decide whetheryou think each statement is right(R), wrong(W) or not mentioned(NM).·Mark your answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 14-23·Look at the ten statements for this part.·You will hear a short interview with George Jones, executive director for Bread for the City a private nonprofit organization.·Decide whetheryou think each statement is right(R), wrong(W) or not mentioned(NM).·Mark your answers on the Answer Sheet.（分数：10.00）(1).Mr. Jones graduated from a famous medical school.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not Mentioned √解析：[听力原文] 14-23A: Now Mr. Jones, how did you become involved with Bread for the City?B: I've been doing this work all my life.

When I moved east, I was at the age when I wanted to lead an effort on my own. And it just so happened.

BFT考试(全国出国培训备选人员外语水平考试)-21(总分：90.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、Reading(总题数：5，分数：90.00)Ice Cream Tester Has a Sweet JobJohn Harrison has what must be the most wanted job in America. He's the official taster for Edys Grand Ice Cream, one of the nation's best-selling brands.His taste buds are insured for $1 million. He gets to sample 60 ice creams a day at Edys headquarters in Oakland, California. (1)But the life of an ice cream taster, I realized after I met him last week, isn't all Cookies n' Cream — a flavor which Harrison invented, by the way. (2)For one thing, he doesn't swallow on the job. Like a coffee taster, Harrison spits. Using a gold spoon to avoid "off" flavors, he takes a smallish bite, swishes it around to introduce it to all 9,000 or so taste buds, smack-smack-smacks his lips to aerate the sample, and then gently inhales to bring the aroma up through the back of his nose. (3)Then, no matter how heavenly it is, he deposits it into a trash can. (4)During the workweek, other sacrifices must be made: no onions, garlic or cayenne pepper; and no caffeine. (5)But it's all a small price to pay for what he calls the world's best job. (6)Yet, he has never lost his love for its cold, creamy sweetness. (7) On these occasions, he swallows, consuming about a quart weekly.Americans eat 23.2 quarts person of ice cream and other frozen diary products annually. (8) Vanilla, the best-selling variety. You should never call it plain vanilla. It's a very complex flavor, he says.The night after we met, I had a plain salad for dinner and sadly thought about my future. I have to either do what Harrison does —learn to spit instead of swallow —or start interviewing more celery growers.A. Caffeine will block the taste buds, he says, so breakfast is a cup of herbal tea.B. With each step, he's evaluating whether the ice cream conveys a harmonious balance of dairy, sweetness and added ingredients — the three flavor components of ice cream.C. What flavor does the best-trained ice-cream palate in America prefer?D. And when he isn't doing that, he travels, buying Edys in supermarkets all over the country so that he can spot check for perfect appearance, texture and flavor.E. He even orders it in restaurants for dessert.F. A full stomach makes for a dull palate.G. No, it's rigorous work, requiring discipline and selflessness.H. His family has been in the ice cream business in one way or another for four generations, so Harrison has spent his entire life with it.（分数：16.00）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：D）解析：[解析] 空格前句说的是John Harrison的日常工作，即在位于加州奥克兰的Edys公司总部每天品尝60种冰淇淋。

Part 2
Speaker 3: To me friendship… having friends, people I know, I can really count on.. To me that’s the most important thing in life. It’s more important even than love. If you love someone, you can always fall out of love again, and that can lead to a lot of hurt feelings, bitterness, and so on. But a good friend is a friend for life. Well, I’ve already said, someone you know
