Tapescript:
Hearing a knock on the door] Come in please.Good morning Dr.Wilson.Good morning Wang.So nice to see you again.Take a seat...why don’t you, please.When did you get to the university?mwmi arrived yesterday.Well...Are you living in the college?No, I am with an English family...actually...because I want to improve my speaking.WmwOh, fine.Right, did you take a language proficiency test before you came?Yes.Uhh...my Overall Band is 6, but...unfortunately my speaking is only 5.OK, you know, here in this university, you have to take our own English test before you attend any lectures.So, first of all, what we’ve got to do is, we have to make an arrangement for the test date.Umm...will tomorrow be all right for you?mw Yeah, I have time tomorrow morning.Good, then.Tomorrow at ten.I don’t think the test will be any problem for you.Now, let’s make sure you make full use of your time
here.Let’s put it like this.Wha t exactly do you want to accomplish in the next 12 months?mi’m interested in computer language translation, I mean, from English to
Chinese and Chinese to English.I’ll try, if possible, to produce a software or a device which can serve as an interpreter.WMYes, could you be a bit more specific about...er...the device?For instance, when, you talk to the device in English it will translate your words into Chinese and vice versa.WmwmwUhuh...do you mean it’ll be as competent as...er...a human interpreter?Yes...w ell, I’ll let it deal with general situations, at least.Fascinating...and how big will the device itself be, do you think?The size of a cigarette pack, I think.So people can put it in their
pocket.Really.Well, that could be a Ph.D project.Tell me what you have done so far.In my four years of undergraduate study, I studied electronics, advancedMmathematics, hardware designing, some computer languages and program writing.Yes, but have you done anypractical jobs
I mean, have you written anyWprograms for practical useI was involved in a project for CAD in a shipyard.mwThe computer aided design.That was probably a good experience, but, unfortunately, it may not help your present project much.Are you familiar with C-language?No.mwUhuh...the phonetic processing system, do you know how such a system works?What do you mean by "phonetic processing system" mwWell, you know, English is spoken by different people with different accents.Your English accent is different from mine, and of course mine is not the same as my
c olleagues’.So as I see it, your device woul
d hav
e to be able to recognise and understand different accents.Oh, I see.I think I can learn C-language and a phonetic processing systemMhere.Well, that’s probably true, but you’ve got only 12 months and you want aWdegree, don’t you?Yes.mwOK, so there’re two ways o
f studyin
g for a degree here.You either take six courses, pass their exams and have your dissertation accepted or the other way is you do some researc
h work and submit your project report.mwmwI think I’l l take the second way.Fine, but are you sure you can finish your project in 12 months?I don’t know, but I can work 12 hours a day and 7 days a week.Well, I’d suggest you spend some time in our library, trying to find out what other students have done before and perhaps re-consider your own project, to some extent.You might narrow your research area, concentrating on solving one or two major problems.And, it’d be a good idea to talk to your colleagues in the lab, first.Anyway, I’m sure we can work out someth ing good.Shall I see you again in three days’ time?All right.I’ll go away and do some thinking.Then I’ll talk to you about myMnew plan.Good.See you then.WMThank you.Bye-bye.

Tapescript
For those of you who are either already studying in the United States or plan to one day, it might be interesting to know something about the foreign student population in the United States.For the academic year 1995/96 there was a total of approximately 344,000 foreign students studying in the United States.This figure of 344,000 may seem like a very large number until you compare it with the total population of 241,000,000.The foreign student population has been growing for a number of years and is still growing, but the rate of increase has dropped sharply during the 1990s.During the 1980s, the population grew quite rapidly.For example, between 1985 and 1990, the average yearly increase was 12.5%.However, the picture in the 1990s is quite different.The rate of increase has declined quite noticeably.In fact, the rate of increase between 1994/95 and 1995/96 was only .5%, or one-half of one percent.Although the overall rate of increase has dropped to only .5%, the number of students from some parts of the world is increasing while the number of students from other areas is decreasing.For example, during this same time period, that is between the academic years 94/95 and 95/96, there was a decrease in the number of students from the middle East, while the number of students from South and East Asia increased.These changes in the number of students coming from different parts of the world no doubt reflected changing economic and political situations.I’m sure you are aware of many of these changes, and perhaps we can discuss them at our next meeting.For today let’s confine our talk to first, a discussion of the origin of these students, or, in other words, where they come from; second, the kinds of studies they pursue; and, finally, the academic levels they are found in.If we have a little time left, we might quickly discuss in which geographic areas most of them go to school.
Let’s discuss the origins of the foreign student population in the United States for the academic year 1995/96.Let’s discuss it in order from those areas sending the most students to those areas sending the fewest students.If we look at the figures provided by the annual census of foreign students in the United States for the year 1995/96, we see that most of the foreign students studying in the United States during this year were from South and East Asia.This is a rather large geographical area which includes such countries as China, Korea, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, and
Indonesia.The total number of students from this area, South and East Asia was 156,830.In other words, roughly 2 out of every 5 foreign students come from South and East Asia.Almost 24,000 of this total were from China.Malaysia was close behind with just a little over 23,000 students.The?next largest number of students came from the middle East.The number of students from the middle East came to about one-third the number from South and East Asia.The fourth largest number came from South America.Next came Europe, Africa, Nort h America, and Oceania.Let’s recapitulate what we’ve said.The largest number of students studying in the United States during the academic year 1995/96 were from South and East Asia, followed by the middle East, South America, Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania.
What fields are these large numbers of foreign students studying in
It probably won’t surprise you to learn that the largest number are in the field of engineering.In fact, 21.7% of the total number are studying engineering.Business and management is close behind, however, with a total of 18.9%.The third most popular field was mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3%.As you can see, engineering with 21.7%, business and management with 18.9%, and mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3% comprise about one half of the total number of foreign students.
Let’s talk about which academic levels these students can be found in.Foreign students can be found studying at all levels of higher education.As you might expect, the greatest number of them are studying at the undergraduate level?approximately 158,000.The second largest group study at the graduate level and that number is just under 122,000.The rest study at junior colleges or in non-degree programs.It is at the graduate level that foreign students have the most impact.While foreign students comprise only 2.7% of the total U.S.student population, they account for 8.7% of all the graduate students studying at U.S.institutions.Let me give you those percentages again so you can get a better feel for the overall picture.Foreign students make up only 2.75 of the total U.S.student population, but they make up 8.7% of the total graduate student population.
Well, I see that’s all the time we have today.We’ll have to leave discussions of the geographic areas these students study in until another time.
Now you are going to hear the talk a second time.

SECTION III: Reading Comprehension
Part A
Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Text 1
In recent years, there has been a steady assault on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you
regardless of your health.Politicians also got on board."There is a direct relationship," US congressman Neal Smith noted, "between the amount of sodium a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory disorders, stroke and even early death."Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far."All this hue and cry about eating salt is unnecessary," Dr.Dustan insists."For most of us it probably doesn’t make much difference how much salt we eat." Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced.Of the hypertensive subjects, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to its previous level when salt was reintroduced."An adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population," notes Dr.John
https://www.doczj.com/doc/6112675602.html,ragh."So a recommendation that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense."Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable "moderation" in salt consumption.For the average person, a moderate amount
might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of a teaspoon.The equivalent of one to two grams of this salt allowance would come from the natural sodium in food.The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the
table.Those with kidney, liver or heart problems may have to limit dietary salt, if their doctor advises.But even the very vocal "low salt" exponent, Dr.Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr.admits that "we do not know whether increased sodium consumption causes hypertension." In fact, there is growing scientific evidence that other factors may be involved: deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity (much more dangerous than sodium); genetic predisposition; stress."It is not your enemy," says https://www.doczj.com/doc/6112675602.html,ragh."Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you don’t need it is wrong.Unless your doctor has proven that you have
a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up."
1.According to some doctors and politicians, the amount of salt consumed[A] exhibits as an aggravating factor to people in poor health.[B] cures diseases such as stroke and circulatory disorders.[C] correlates highly with some diseases.[D] is irrelevant to people suffering from heart disease.
2.From Dr.Dustan’s study we can infer that[A] a low-salt diet may be prescribed for some people.[B] the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressure.[C] the reduction of salt intake can cure a hypertensive patient.[D] an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone.
3.In the third paragraph, https://www.doczj.com/doc/6112675602.html,ragh implies that[A] people should not be afraid of taking excessive salt.[B] doctors should not advise people to avoid salt.[C] an adequate to excessive salt intake is recommended for people in disease.[D] excessive salt intake has claimed some victims in the general population.
4.The phrase "vocal ...exponent" (line 2, para.4) most probably refers to[A] eloquent doctor.[B] articulate opponent.[C] loud speaker.[D] strong advocate.
5.What is the main message of this text[
A] That the salt scare is not justified.[B] That the cause of hypertension is now understood.[C] That the moderate use of salt is recommended.[D] That salt consumption is to be promoted.
Part B
In the following article some paragraphs have been removed.For Questions 1 - 5, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A - F to fit into each of the numbered gaps.There is one paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
From her vantage point she watched the main doors swing open and the first arrivals pour in.Those who had been at the head of the line paused momentarily on entry, looked around curiously, then quickly moved forward as others behind pressed in.Within moments the central public area of the big branch bank was filled with a chattering, noisy crowd.The building, relatively quiet less than a minute earlier, had become a Babel.Edwina saw a tall heavyset black man wave some dollar bills and declare loudly, "I want to put my money in the bank"
1
It seemed as if the report about everyone having come to open an account had been accurate after all.
Edwina could see the big man leaning back expansively, still holding his dollar bills.
His voice cut across the noise of other conversations and she heard him proclaim, "I’m in no hurry.There’s something I’d like you to explain."Two other desks were quickly manned by other clerks.With equal speed, long wide lines of people formed in front of them.
Normally, three members of staff were ample to handle new account business, but obviously were inadequate now.
Edwina could see Tottenhoe on the far side of the bank and called him on the intercom.She instructed, "Use more desks for new accounts and take all the staff you can spare to man them."
2
Tottenhoe grumbled in reply, "You realize we can’t possibly process all these people today, and however many we do will tie us up completely.""I’ve an idea," Edwina said, "that’s what someone has in mind.Just hurry the processing all you can."
3
First, an application form called for details of residence, employment, social security, and family matters.A specimen signature was obtained.Then proof of identity was needed.After that, the new accounts clerk would take all documents to an officer of the bank for approval and initialing.Finally, a savings passbook was made out or a temporary checkbook issued.Therefore the most new accounts that any bank employee could open in an hour were five, so the three clerks presently working might handle
a total of ninety in one business day, if they kept going at top speed, which was unlikely.
4
Still the noise within the bank increased.It had become an uproar.
A further problem was that the growing mass of arrivals in the central public area of the bank was preventing access to tellers’ counters by other customers.Edwina could see a few of them outside, regarding the milling scene with consternation.While she watched, several gave up and walked away.Inside the bank some of the newcomers were engaging tellers in conversation and the tellers,having nothing else to do because of the melee, chatted back.Two assistant managers had gone to the central floor area and were trying to regulate the flood of people so as
to clear some space at counters.They were having small success.
5
She decided it was time for her own intervention.
Edwina left the platform and a railed-off staff area and, with difficulty, made her way through the milling crowd to the main front door.
A.Yet she knew however much they hurried it would still take ten to fifteen minutes to open any single new account.It always did.The paperwork required that time.
B.But still no hostility was evident.Everyone in the now jam-packed bank who was spoken to by members of the staff answered politely and with a smile.It seemed, Edwina thought, as if all who were here had been briefed to be on best behavior.
C.A security guard directed him, "Over there for new accounts." The guard pointed to a desk where a clerka young girl?sat waiting.She appeared nervous.
The big man walked toward her, smiled reassuringly, and sat down.
Immediately a press of others moved into a ragged line behind him, waiting for their turn.
D.Even leaning close to the intercom, it was hard to hear above the noise.
E.Even tripling the present complement of clerks would permit very few more than two hundred and fifty accounts to be opened in a day, yet already,in the first few minutes of business, the bank was crammed with at least four hundred people,
with still more flooding in, and the line outside, which Edwina rose to check, appeared as long as ever.
F.Obviously someone had alerted the press in advance, which explained the presence of the TV camera crew outside.Edwina wondered who had done it.
Part CAnswer questions 1-10 by referring to the comments on 3 different cars in the following magazine article.Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1.

Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs, according to municipal authorities. A year ago, Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now, the ban has extended to several suburbs, including Mentougou, Fangs- han, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu and Miyun. The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing' s air pollution, as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze. According to Wang Yuesi, a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences, barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5, harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter. "Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing, we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment!" Wang said. The issue has divided Chinese netizens, as half agreed with the policy while the other half called this grand plan nothing but "empty talk. "

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets. Text 1 After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly （Although your eyelids are closed）. This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep! 46 A good title for this passage is ____. A. Sleep C. Dreams B. Good Health D. Work and Rest 47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.

Text A The Revolution That Turned Education Sentimental At some point in the mid-1960s the picture of the classroom in the national imagination changed. Before, it consisted of ranks of traditional, slope-surfaced wooden desks at which sat uniformed children, their heads bowed, before an authoritarian and perhaps eccentric teacher. After, there were tables organized into groups, no uniforms and a nice, friendly teacher who probably liked the same pop music as his pupils. This is a cartoon view, but it depicts a real change. It was an educational revolution that was well-meant, benignly inspired by concern for our children and apparently, endorsed by some of the greatest minds of our age. Its ideal was to help children grow and its politics were egalitarian. With Shirley Williams’ abolition of most grammar schools and the introduction of comprehensives, the plan was in place. It was, as we and the Prince of W ales now know, an unmitigated disaster. Understanding why we did it and why it fails is a gloomy but necessary business. Perhaps it was simply because it seems like a nice thing to do. Of course teachers should help children to grow up; of course comprehensives should break down class divisions; of course grim authority should give way to happy enthusiasm. These were simple ideals, but they were created by a thought process and it is this that now has to be dismantled. The first point is not to be confused by the politics. Today’s teachers are not the raging extremists of Tory and tabloid mythology. Indeed, more than 50% of them,
