If it looks like a duck, walks a nd quacks like a duck, then it is a duck. But tackling millions of species in t his way has proven to be a recipe for confusion. As scientists have found to th eir cost, what looks like a duck may in fact be a goose.More recently, genetic techniques have been applied, particularly for distingui shing the more difficult-to-identity species such as viruses and bacteria by co mparing pieces of DNA. Might this approach be more generally applicable? Paul H ebert and his colleagues in Canada think it might be. Just as barcodes and the “universal product code” numbering scheme uniquely identify different items a t a supermarket checkout, they suggest that some stretches of DNA could perform a similar function in living things. In a paper just published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, they discuss how long such a genetic barcode needs to b e, and where it might be found.A universal product code found on the high street consists of a string of 11 di gits, each of which is one of ten numerals, providing 100 billion unique combin ations. Genetic material, however, uses a quaternary, rather than a denary, cod ing system. In theory, it would only be necessary to sample 15 of those letters to create one billion unique codes.In practice, however, the characteristics of DNA mean that 15 letters are not e nough. Unlike the arbitrary numbers of a universal product code, the letters of DNA are not random, because they code for something that a biological meaning.Part Three WritingDirections: Boshi Electronic (China) Co., Ltd. is planning to recruit an assis tant to the general manager.

Television has helped im prove standards of education. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.I disagree that television has helped improved standards of education for a num ber of reasons. The first and probably the most important reason is the program ming. Around the world it is movies, sit-com, soap operas, pop music and talk s hows which dominate TV screens. There may be nothing wrong with these, and they are certainly popular with audiences, but the content of these programs has no t helped to make people better educated.Typical television programs have also had a bad effect on viewers? Attention sp an, that is, on how long they can concentrate. Most TV programs do not require much concentration and young viewers, especially, get used to this. Education, on the other hand, does require concentration and young people find this increa singly difficult.Another characteristic of television is that it encourages a passive attitude i n viewers instead of an active one. Most popular TV programs encourage an uncri tical response, but education requires you to think about what is presented to you, to react to it and in some way to make use of it. In addition, passive TV-watching has often taken the place of more active pursuits such as reading, music, playing board games and conversation, all of which are more educational tha n a typical evening of TV.Finally, it seems to be true that television makes it difficult for viewers, es pecially young ones, to distinguish properly between fact and fiction. This con fusion, which is really another kind of uncritical response, again works agains t educational principles.Television has done many good things. It entertains lonely, old and sick people; it certainly helps countries’ economies by selling products, and can be very informative by bringing news from around the locality, the country and the worl d into peoples’ homes. However, by making people passive and uncritical, telev ision has a negative effect on education.范文2：There have been many arguments in recent years whether nuclear energy should be used to generate electricity. Do you think nuclear energy should or should not be used for this purpose in your country? Which side do you agree with? Use sp ecific reasons and examples to support your answer.Before giving my opinion, I think it is important to look at the arguments on b oth sides. People who support using nuclear energy to produce electricity usual ly give some or all of the following reasons. The first argument is that it is potentially cheaper than any other way. The second is that other ways of produc ing electricity require nonrenewable resources, such as coal and oil, and one d ay these will be used up. This, they say, is not the case if we use nuclear ene rgy. The third reason is more of a political one: some countries do not have th e raw materials, such as coal, oil or water, which are needed to generate elect ricity and so they have to depend too much on other countries.People who attack using nuclear energy for generating electricity generally say that it is too dangerous, both now and in the future. They point to severe nuc lear accidents, such as Chernobyl, and some others in the United States, and sa y that the effects are so bad that the risk of an accident, even if the risk is very small, is not worthwhile. They also often say that there will be problems in the future of how to store the dangerous waste from old nuclear power stati ons, which can be deadly for thousands of years.As far as my own country is concerned, I believe there are two main reasons why it should not try to use nuclear energy at this time. Firstly, we have plenty of oil and hydroelectric energy from which to generate electricity. Secondly, i f countries like the United States and Russia can suffer nuclear accidents, it would be very difficult to guarantee safety in my country. Furthermore, we have many better and more urgent things to do with the money.常用词语与表达法1.

And what are the times normally?WOMAN:We try to keep it pretty fixed so that, that students get to know the p attern. We leave at eight-thirty . and return at six . We figure it’s best to keep the day fairly short.MAN: Oh yes. And how do we reserve a place?WOMAN:You sign your name on the notice board(Q4). Do you know where it is? MAN: Ah ha. I saw it this morning.WOMAN: And we d o ask that you sign up three days in advance so we know we’ve got enough people interested to run it, and we can cancel if necessary, with fu ll refund of course.MAN: That’s fine, thanks.Question 5-10MAN: And what visits are planned for this term?WOMAN:Right, well I’m afraid the schedule hasn’t been printed out yet, but we have confirmed the dates and planed the optional extra visits which you can also book in advance if you want to.MAN:Oh that’s all right.

To start your visit I’m just going to give you a brief account of the history of the mu seum before letting you roam about on your own. I won’t keep you long. OK?Now, from where we’re standing you’ve got a good view of the river over th ere. And it was because of this fast-flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood(Q11), all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time.Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wheels were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen(Q12)first built an iron forge just behind the village here on the bend in the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centu ries the regions rivers supported more than a hundred and sixty(Q13)water m ills-and many of these continued operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centers o f industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside and into the towns. So, industrial villages like this one became very rare.So that’s the history for you. If you’d like any more information, you can ask me some questions, or you can read further in our excellent guide book.Question 14-23Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I have been asked today to talk to you about th e urban landscape. There are two major areas that I will focus on in my talk: h ow vegetation can have a significant effect on urban climate, and how we can be tter plan our cities using trees to provide a more comfortable environment(Q1 4)for us to live in.。

Write your translation clearly in the spaces provided below.What’s in a name?For thousands of years, humanity has classified the living thins of this world in muc h the same fashion; by their appearance. If it looks like a duck, walks and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck. But tackling millions of species in this way has prove n to be a recipe for confusion. As scientists have found to their cost, what looks lik e a duck may in fact be a goose.More recently, genetic techniques have been applied, particularly for distinguishing t he more difficult-to-identity species such as viruses and bacteria by comparing piece s of DNA. Might this approach be more generally applicable? Paul Hebert and his c olleagues in Canad a think it might be. Just as barcodes and the “universal product code” numbering scheme uniquely identify different items at a supermarket checkout, they suggest that some stretches of DNA could perform a similar function in living things. In a paper just published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, they discu ss how long such a genetic barcode needs to be, and where it might be found.A universal product code found on the high street consists of a string of 11 digits, each of which is one of ten numerals, providing 100 billion unique combinations. Ge netic material, however, uses a quaternary, rather than a denary, coding system. In theory, it would only be necessary to sample 15 of those letters to create one billi on unique codes.In practice, however, the characteristics of DNA mean that 15 letters are not enoug h. Unlike the arbitrary numbers of a universal product code, the letters of DNA are not random, because they code for something that a biological meaning.Part Three WritingDirections: Boshi Electronic (China) Co., Ltd. is planning to recruit an assistant to t he general manager.

Television has helped impro ve standards of education. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.I disagree that television has helped improved standards of education for a number of reasons. The first and probably the most important reason is the programming. Around the world it is movies, sit-com, soap operas, pop music and talk shows whi ch dominate TV screens. There may be nothing wrong with these, and they are cer tainly popular with audiences, but the content of these programs has not helped to make people better educated.Typical television programs have also had a bad effect on viewers? Attention span, that is, on how long they can concentrate. Most TV programs do not require much concentration and young viewers, especially, get used to this. Education, on the oth er hand, does require concentration and young people find this increasingly difficult. Another characteristic of television is that it encourages a passive attitude in viewer s instead of an active one. Most popular TV programs encourage an uncritical respo nse, but education requires you to think about what is presented to you, to react t o it and in some way to make use of it. In addition, passive TV-watching has oftentaken the place of more active pursuits such as reading, music, playing board gam es and conversation, all of which are more educational than a typical evening of T V.Finally, it seems to be true that television makes it difficult for viewers, especially y oung ones, to distinguish properly between fact and fiction. This confusion, which is really another kind of uncritical response, again works against educational principle s.Television has done many good things. It entertains lonely, old and sick people; it certainly helps countries’ economies by selling products, and can be very informative by bringing news from around the locality, the country and the world into peoples’homes. However, by making people passive and uncritical, television has a negativ e effect on education.范文2：There have been many arguments in recent years whether nuclear energy should b e used to generate electricity. Do you think nuclear energy should or should not be used for this purpose in your country? Which side do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Before giving my opinion, I think it is important to look at the arguments on both sides. People who support using nuclear energy to produce electricity usually give s ome or all of the following reasons. The first argument is that it is potentially chea per than any other way. The second is that other ways of producing electricity requ ire nonrenewable resources, such as coal and oil, and one day these will be used u p. This, they say, is not the case if we use nuclear energy. The third reason is mo re of a political one: some countries do not have the raw materials, such as coal, oil or water, which are needed to generate electricity and so they have to depend t oo much on other countries.People who attack using nuclear energy for generating electricity generally say that it is too dangerous, both now and in the future. They point to severe nuclear accid ents, such as Chernobyl, and some others in the United States, and say that the ef fects are so bad that the risk of an accident, even if the risk is very small, is not worthwhile. They also often say that there will be problems in the future of how to store the dangerous waste from old nuclear power stations, which can be deadly f or thousands of years.As far as my own country is concerned, I believe there are two main reasons why it should not try to use nuclear energy at this time. Firstly, we have plenty of oil a nd hydroelectric energy from which to generate electricity. Secondly, if countries like the United States and Russia can suffer nuclear accidents, it would be very difficultto guarantee safety in my country. Furthermore, we have many better and more u rgent things to do with the money.常用词语与表达法1.

Thank you very much for all your help.WOMAN:You’re very welcome. I hope you enjoy the trips.Question 11-13Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Riverside Industrial Village. To start your visit I’m just going to give you a brief account of the history of the museum befor e letting you roam about on your own. I won’t keep you long. OK?Now, from where we’re standing you’ve got a good view of the river over there. And it was because of this fast-flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, lik e minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firew ood(Q11), all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time.Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the wa ter wheels were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen(Q12) first built an iron forge just behind the village here on the bend in the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the regions riv ers supported more than a hundred and sixty(Q13) water mills-and many of thes e continued operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine w as invented and then the railways came and the centers of industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside and into the towns. So, industrial vi llages like this one became very rare.So that’s the history for you. If you’d like any more informatio n, you can ask me some questions, or you can read further in our excellent guide book.Question 14-23Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I have been asked today to talk to you about the urban landscape. There are two major areas that I will focus on in my talk: how vegetation can have a significant effect on urban climate, and how we can better pl an our cities using trees to provide a more comfortable environment(Q14) f or us to live in.Trees can have a significant impact on our cities. They can make a city, as a wh ole, a bit less windy(Q15) or a bit more windy, if that’s what you want. They can make it a bit cooler if it’s a hot summer day in an Australian city, or they can ma ke it a bit more humid(Q16)if it’s a dry inland city. On the local scale- that is, in particular areas within the city- trees can make the local area more shady(Q17), cooler, more humid and much less windy. In fact trees and planting of various kind s can be used to make city streets actually less dangerous(Q18) in particular area s. How do trees do all that, you ask?。

If it looks like a duck, walks a nd quacks like a duck, then it is a duck. But tackling millions of species in t his way has proven to be a recipe for confusion. As scientists have found to th eir cost, what looks like a duck may in fact be a goose.More recently, genetic techniques have been applied, particularly for distingui shing the more difficult-to-identity species such as viruses and bacteria by co mparing pieces of DNA. Might this approach be more generally applicable Paul He bert and his colleagues in Canada think it might be. Just as barcodes and the “universal product code” numbering scheme uniquely identify different items a t a supermarket checkout, they suggest that some stretches of DNA could perform a similar function in living things. In a paper just published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, they discuss how long such a genetic barcode needs to b e, and where it might be found.A universal product code found on the high street consists of a string of 11 di gits, each of which is one of ten numerals, providing 100 billion unique combin ations. Genetic material, however, uses a quaternary, rather than a denary, cod ing system. In theory, it would only be necessary to sample 15 of those letters to create one billion unique codes.In practice, however, the characteristics of DNA mean that 15 letters are not e nough. Unlike the arbitrary numbers of a universal product code, the letters of DNA are not random, because they code for something that a biological meaning.Part Three WritingDirections: Boshi Electronic (China) Co., Ltd. is planning to recruit an assis tant to the general manager.

Use specific reasons and details to support your a nswer.I disagree that television has helped improved standards of education for a num ber of reasons. The first and probably the most important reason is the program ming. Around the world it is movies, sit-com, soap operas, pop music and talk s hows which dominate TV screens. There may be nothing wrong with these, and they are certainly popular with audiences, but the content of these programs has no t helped to make people better educated.Typical television programs have also had a bad effect on viewers Attention spa n, that is, on how long they can concentrate. Most TV programs do not require m uch concentration and young viewers, especially, get used to this. Education, o n the other hand, does require concentration and young people find this increas ingly difficult.Another characteristic of television is that it encourages a passive attitude i n viewers instead of an active one. Most popular TV programs encourage an uncri tical response, but education requires you to think about what is presented to you, to react to it and in some way to make use of it. In addition, passive TV-watching has often taken the place of more active pursuits such as reading, music, playing board games and conversation, all of which are more educational tha n a typical evening of TV.Finally, it seems to be true that television makes it difficult for viewers, es pecially young ones, to distinguish properly between fact and fiction. This con fusion, which is really another kind of uncritical response, again works agains t educational principles.Television has done many good things. It entertains lonely, old and sick people; it certainly helps countries’ economies by selling products, and can be very informative by bringing news from around the locality, the country and the worl d into peoples’ homes. However, by making people passive and uncritical, telev ision has a negative effect on education.范文2：There have been many arguments in recent years whether nuclear energy should be used to generate electricity. Do you think nuclear energy should or should not be used for this purpose in your country Which side do you agree with Use spec ific reasons and examples to support your answer.Before giving my opinion, I think it is important to look at the arguments on b oth sides. People who support using nuclear energy to produce electricity usual ly give some or all of the following reasons. The first argument is that it is potentially cheaper than any other way. The second is that other ways of produc ing electricity require nonrenewable resources, such as coal and oil, and one d ay these will be used up. This, they say, is not the case if we use nuclear ene rgy. The third reason is more of a political one: some countries do not have th e raw materials, such as coal, oil or water, which are needed to generate elect ricity and so they have to depend too much on other countries.People who attack using nuclear energy for generating electricity generally say that it is too dangerous, both now and in the future. They point to severe nuc lear accidents, such as Chernobyl, and some others in the United States, and sa y that the effects are so bad that the risk of an accident, even if the risk is very small, is not worthwhile. They also often say that there will be problems in the future of how to store the dangerous waste from old nuclear power stati ons, which can be deadly for thousands of years.As far as my own country is concerned, I believe there are two main reasons why it should not try to use nuclear energy at this time. Firstly, we have plenty of oil and hydroelectric energy from which to generate electricity. Secondly, i f countries like the United States and Russia can suffer nuclear accidents, it would be very difficult to guarantee safety in my country. Furthermore, we have many better and more urgent things to do with the money.常用词语与表达法1.

OKNow, from where we’re standing you’ve got a good view of the river over th ere. And it was because of this fast-flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood(Q11), all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time.Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wheels were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe A t that time, local craftsmen(Q12)first built an iron forge just behind the village here on the bend in the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centur ies the regions rivers supported more than a hundred and sixty(Q13)water mi lls-and many of these continued operate well into the nineteenth century. But t hen the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centers of industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside and into t he towns. So, industrial villages like this one became very rare.So that’s the history for you.

该部分要求考生听懂有关日常生活中所熟悉话题的简短对话和独白。

有时，主旨要义会比较明确；有时则会贯穿整个对话或独白，考生需自己去归纳、概括。

（2）获取事实性的具体信息为了说明和支持主旨，对话或独白中总会出现一些具体信息，如时间、地点、人物等。

这些信息是理解和把握对话或独白主旨必不可少的内容，也常常是听力部分的重点考查项目。

2．阅读理解阅读文章是我国考生接触外语的最主要途径，因此，阅读理解在试卷中占权重较大。

该部分要求考生读懂熟悉的有关日常生活话题的简短文字材料，例如公告、说明、广告以及书、报、杂志中关于一般性话题的简短文章。
