Look at the title of the listening passage. What do you think the speaker is going to talk about? Check your answer. Then listen to the passage to see if you were right.Going solo is the way to go!By D. ToorHow do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family?Have you ever imagined "going solo"? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased.You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactly true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules.There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation college" at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard but satisfying work. You can "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project.For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many traveloptions. There are tours for women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking for romance. One company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing during the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night.The next time you take a trip somewhere, why don't you consider going solo?Bon voyage!Track 3-1-OL-8B. Listen again. What topics does the speaker mention about solo travel? Unit 1, Lesson BGlobal ViewpointsTravelDave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend.Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requested a vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to my roornmate, and I water my plant.Julianna: The funniest story of my traveling experience was when I came to the U.S. for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. l had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life. This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was--there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving…I think…she was serving food…and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance…and her hand landed on the guy's head, who had a toupee.

Then read these statements about Fredrick Law Olmsted and his projects. Write T for true or F for false. Creating spacesJin Hee Park is a student at Stanford University in Califomia. She studies hard, "Of course, I came here for the academics, she says. " But it doesn't hurt that the campus is so beautiful. I walk around sometimes just to relax."Alejandro Vega, a banker in New York City jogs almost every evening after work in Central Park. " I never get bored. The park is so big. I can always find a different path with a new view."Niagara Falls was on Ross Howard's list of places to visit in upstate New York. "The footpaths allow you to get a wonderful view. You can even feel the spray from the falls on your face."What do these three places-- - - Stanford University, Central Park, and Niagara Falls State Park- - --all have in common? They were all landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted (1822-1903) has been called the "father of landscape architecture."In the 1800s, more and more people were moving to the cities. Some community leaders became worried about the quality of life. They began a beautification campaign.In 1857, a design contest was held for a new park in New York City. Olmsted and his partner, Cavert Vaux, won the contest. Central Park was the finished product---- the first landscaped public park in the United States. Today, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to this beautiful park.Later in his life, Olmsted designed landscapes for college campuses, including Stanford University. In the late 1860s, he joined the "Free Niagara" movement. Members of the movement wanted to preserve the beauty of Niagara Falls. Despite opposition and pressures from business to industrialize the area. Olmsted and others resisted. Olmsted designed footpaths to give visitors better views of the falls. In all his work, Olmsted preferred to preserve the natural beauty of an area.Today, there are pressures again to develop Niagara. On Goat Island, an island in Niagara Falls State Park, there are now souvenir shops. There may be signs that say "No Littering," but there is still a lot of trash on the island. Most of the animals have disappeared. What would Frederick Law Olmsted say to all this?Track 3-2-6C, Listen again.

Stressful events in our lives are called "stressors." Some of them are minor, such as uncomfortable air conditioning or a loudly ringing telephone. Others are more serious. Such as the death of a spouse. That event tops the list as life's most stressful event. You might be surprised to learn about the top 20 life stressors. Getting a divorce, for example, is number 2 on the list. And not all stressors are unhappy events. Pregnancy is a happy time for most families. It may also cause stress. Pregnancy is right below retirement on the list of life's major stressors.We can’t avoid stress, but we can do something about it. Listen to three people talking about their responses to stress in their lives.Tina Vega, 16Last year was horrible! My family moved to another town.

Then list the names of the five syndromes (medical conditions) mentioned.Surprising syndromes of modem lifeMargaret's friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can't. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she's embarrassed by it. "I've never been a tidy person," she says. "My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid."Today it's so easy to get information…and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. For some people, it's too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can't think clearly. "I can't sleep at night because I worry," says Bahman, a college senior. "It's terrible."Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. "I'm always rushing. I get headaches a lot. Taking aspirin seems to help," says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in "deskfast" (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, may suffer from hurry sickness!We've all complained about having too much work to do. Well, how about not having enough work? Underload syndrome is caused by having。

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Passage OneQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script:Passage OneMany people have concerns about taking their cars on long trips, especially if their cars are getting on in years or mileage. The truth is, long trips are actually easier on your car than day-to-day driving, but a breakdown far from home can really destroy the fun. A few simple checks will help you to avoid many common problems.Two to four weeks before you go, get any major repairs done. If your car needs major repair or maintenance, do it at least one month before you go. That will allow plenty of time for any problems related to the repair to appear.Before you pack, give your car a good wash. Clean cars always seem to run better. Besides, who wants to travel in a dirty car? Make sure your tires are inflated to the proper pressure. Low pressure can be a problem. Follow the instructions for checking tire pressure in your owner's manual. You should also check the spare tire. Make sure it is fully inflated and that other important spare parts are in the trunk.Before you go, open your suitcases and take one last look. Ask yourself, do you really need all that stuff? If there's anything you can do without, leave it home. If you're carrying lots of heavy objects, position them forward in the trunk and divide the weight evenly side to side. Cars don't have unlimited carrying capacity, so don't overload.There is no guarantee that unexpected things cannot happen. But if you've followed these guidelines, you've avoided a lot of potential problems. Relax and enjoy your trip!6.People have concerns about driving on long trips ____ .A) if their cars are newly boughtB) if they have never driven on long trips beforeC) if their cars are quite oldD) if they haven't bought insurance for their carsScript: People have concerns about driving on long trips ____ .正确答案： C 学生答案：A得分：0 分7.When does one have to repair his car if it needs major repair?A) One to two weeks before one goes.B) Two to four weeks before one goes.C) At least one month before one goes.D) At least two months before one goes.Script: When does one have to repair his car if it needs major repair? 正确答案： C学生答案：C得分： 2 分8.Before you pack, what should you check the tires for?A) Hardness.B) Newness.C) Leaks.D) Pressure.Script: Before you pack, what should you check the tires for? 正确答案： D学生答案：D得分： 2 分9.How should you position the heavy objects in the trunk?A) Make them take as little space as possible.B) Divide the weight evenly.C) Separate them from side to side.D) Group them according to their types.Script: How should you position the heavy objects in the trunk? 正确答案： B学生答案：D得分：0 分10.If one has followed all these guidelines, ____ .A) a lot of problems will be prevented from happeningB) there will be no problem on the tripC) a lot of money has to be paidD) many useful things have to be left at homeScript: If one has followed all these guidelines, ____ .正确答案： A 学生答案：A得分： 2 分Passage Two Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script:Before you fly to China, you should know that the national airline is Air China. As is true of any flight, travelers should confirm their return flight reservations; otherwise they would have problems.Also, be prepared for a long flight. A nonstop from New York to Beijing lasts 14 hours while a flight to Shanghai lasts up to 18 hours.There are four airport hubs within China: Beijing, Guangzhou BaiyunInternational, Shanghai Hongqiao and Shanghai Pudong. Each airport includes taxis,public and shuttle buses, duty free shops, banks, post offices, business and Internet facilities and bars and restaurants. Important to note is the departure tax, which is paid in Chinese currency, or RMB, only.Once you are in China, you can take many kinds of transportation like rail, sea and automobile. Railways are the major meansof transportation throughout China. The trains are inexpensive, safe and well maintained operating between major cities. There are three types of trains, the Express option being the best of the three. There are four varieties of fare: hard seat, soft seat, hard sleeper and soft sleeper. Children under 3 feet tall travel free and those under 4 feet pay a quarter of the fare. Train travel is often a comfortable experience although it takes much time, due to the distance between major cities. National plane travel saves your time. Flights from Shanghai to Beijing, Hong Kong to Shanghai and Guangzhou to Shanghai are about 2 hours; however, the roundtrip travel costs 350 dollars. Although express train travel between these cities ranges from 12 to 18 hours, the prices are much lower, between 15 to 30 dollars.11.It takes ____ to travel from New York to Shanghai by air.A) 14 hoursB) 18 hoursC) 24 hoursD) 40 hoursScript: It takes ____ to travel from New York to Shanghai by air.正确答案： B 学生答案：B得分： 2 分12.Which one is NOT an airport hub within China?A) Beijing.B) Shanghai HongqiaoC) Shenzhen.D) Shanghai Pudong.Script: Which one is NOT an airport hub within China? 正确答案： C 学生答案： C得分： 2 分13.____ types of fare are available if one travels in China by train.A) ThreeB) FourC) FiveD) SixScript: ___ types of fare are available if one travels in China by train.正确答案： B 学生答案：C得分：0 分14.How much does a child between 3 and 4 feet tall pay for a train trip?A) Nothing.B) A quarter of the fare.C) A third of the fare.D) Half of the fare.Script: How much does a child between 3 and 4 feet tall pay for a train trip? 正确答案： B 学生答案： B得分： 2 分15.How much does a round trip from Hong Kong to Shanghai cost?A) About 200 dollars.B) About 250 dollars.C) About 300 dollars.D) About 350 dollars.Script: How much does a round trip from Hong Kong to Shanghai cost? 正确答案： D 学生答案： D得分： 2 分Part II Oral Tasks ( 3 minutes )Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear several conversations.

Here are some tips to help you pack your bags.1.Pre-trip planning. Make a packing list to help you remember everything. Reveal it about aweek before your trip.

The most important items for your trip: passport, plane tickets, traveler’schecks, credit cards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you.Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Put those the heavy items in your checking luggage.Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons. They fit easily under the airplane seat or into the small overhead compartment.5.Other ideas. Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. Remember to pack a few rub ofbans, safety pins and plastic bags, they can be very useful. Bring some snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit, you can eat them if you don’t have enough time for a meal. Sharing food is a good way to made other travelers.Unit 1 Lesson BVideo track 3-1-1Dave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend.Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requesteda vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to myroommate, and I water my plant.Video track 3-1-2Julianna: The funniest story of my traveling experience was when I came to the U.S. for the first timeby myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my handsto explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my secondtrip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't reallyknow the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter andjust flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let'sgo there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis:I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniestI could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendantswas serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray.

We really need more ways to get around. I’d like to ride my bicycle to work, but there is too much traffic on the streets. We need safer places for bicyclingand walking. Another problem is the parks. We have some nice parks, but we don’t take good care of them and they are often dirty. We need cleaner parks, where children can play and adults can relax. One more problem is nightlife. There’s nothing to do in the evening! We should build a big theater for plays and concerts.Audio track 3-2-8Take back your streetTwo neighbors meet on a city sidewalk. They talk about planting more flowers along their street, or asking the city council to add bike lanes to a busy road. In small but important ways, these people are changing the face of their cities.All around the world, people are speaking up and working hard to make their cities safer and more pleasant for pedestrians. Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets, made streets narrower, put in traffic lights and speed bumps, and made plans to help more kids walk or bike to school.Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia, named David Engwicht. His book Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simple message. He says that in the past, streetsbelonged to everybody. Kids played there, and neighbors stopped there to talk.But now, streets are just for cars and trucks. People stay inside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic, and we lose contact with our neighbors. Engwicht says that we should use streets for more than just transportation. People need to take back their streets.Engwicht travels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians, streets, and neighborhoods. Besides his books and articles, he gives many speeches. He has worked in neighborhoods from Honolulu to Scotland.While Engwicht was writing his book, he learned about how neighbors in the city Delft, in the Netherlands, stopped dangerous traffic on their street. They put old couches, tables, and planters in the streets. Cars could still pass, but they had to drive slowly. When the police arrived, they saw the value of these illegal actions to make the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning ways to make cars slow down, and“calm” the traffic.Engwicht says we should think about streeets as our “outdoor living room.”Calming the traffic is just the beginning. In the future, streets will be safe places for childre again, and our neighbors will become our friends.Unit2, Lesson BVideo track 3-2-1Jennifer: Iwant my dream house to be by a lake with a big yard.

Then Roberto asked Claudia if she might get promoted soon because her boss had been transferred to a different office. Claudia said that getting promoted was not a big deal. She explained that her goal was to quit her job someday and relax. Roberto, however, said his life was planned already, almost right up to retirement.

I’ll see you soon!KaitlynAudio Track 3-3-7/ Audio Track 3-3-8Celebrating life changesIn Mexico and some other Latin American countries, girls mark their fifteenth birthday with a celebration called the Quinceanera. In the morning, the birthday girl goes to church with her family and her best friends. She wears a beautiful (and sometimes very expensive!) dress. Later in the day, there is a huge party, with a big cake that matches the girl’s dress, and a night filled with music and dancing.When older people in the United States retire, their friends and coworkers often give them a retirement party to celebrate this life change. On their last day of work, there is a big dinner, with entertainment afterward. People make speeches and tell jokes about the retiree. Guests like to give presents, such as an album of photos of the retiree’s coworkers, or a homemade video of the retiree’s friends.Becoming an adult is a very important life change, and Japan has a special holiday to celebrate this. The second Sunday in January is Coming-of-Age Day. On that day, everyone who had theirtwentieth birthday in the last year goes to their town’s City Hall for a special ceremony. Everyone dresses up, and many women wear beautiful kimonos. The mayor makes a speech and gives presents to all the new adults.Some kids are afraid to start school, but six-year-olds in Germany can’t wait. For them, Schulanfang is a big holiday. To celebrate a child’s first day of school, parents or friends give the child a Zuckertuete, a big colorful cardboard cone filled with candy and little presents. People take pictures of the kids holding their Zuckertuete, and there is a school party later for the parents, with cake and coffee.Audio Track 3-3-9Coping w ith life’s stressorsLet’s face it: Life is stressful.

They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance---and her hand landed on the guy's head, who had atoupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns wereon his forehead.

While Sun-hee is talking to Mike on the phone, Claudia and Tara have some trouble preparing for the trip. First, Tara can’t find her bag and then Claudia doesn’t know where her ticket is. But Sun-hee is tatally relaxed because she has already finished getting ready. Sun-hee tells Mike about all the errands she had to do earlier that day. She had to confirm her flight, get travel’s checks, change her voice-mail message, and pay the bills. Finally, Tara and Claudia are ready to go and Sun-hee checks to be sure they have everything. However, after they leave, Sun-hee soon comes running back in. Why? She forgot to take her ticket and passport!Unit 2, Lesson ATrack 3-2-2；3-2-3Jenna: OK, I think we have two choices. The first place is a little house. It's located in a fruit orchard.Carson: Really?Jenna: Yeah. And you can eat as much fruit as you want. When it's in season, of course. Oh---butwait. It says there’s no air conditioner.Carson: That's OK. It's on the rainy side of the island. It's cooler there. We can use a fan.Jenna: You're probably right… Say. It looks pretty basic. No washing machine or dryer… not evena TV!Carson: Oh no! What are we going to do without a TV? That's terrible!Jenna: Very funny. I'm just letting you know about the place.Carson: I know. What's our second choice?Jenna: It's on the opposite side----the sunny side----of the island. Very fancy place with a big swimming pool. It s only three blocks from the ocean.Carson: Who needs a swimming pool? I mean, it's only three blocks.Jenna: I see your point. VVell, the pool area also has barbecue grills, beautiful gardens'- Carson: You like the second place better. I can tell..Jenna: Well, it does have everything. Washing machine, dryer, TV, VCR, frying pan'*'Carson: All we need is a toothbrush and a swimsuit--Let's go with the second choice.Jenna: OK. I'II call them right now and reserve it.

Ashley: ok.Jose: you’ll be on Church Avenue and it goes straight to the zoo.Ashley: oh, so it’s not too far.Jose: no, but the traffic is usually heavy. And I don’t think the zoo has many parking spaces available for cars.Ashley: hmm…Jose: maybe you should take the subway.Ashley: where do I catch it ?Jose: there’s a sbuway entrance right in front of the park. Take the red line three stops. Cet off at the City Zoo stop. It’s pretty obvious.Ashley: thanks a lot.Jose: no problemAshley: oh, wait. Noe more thing.

And I need two rooms for my kid.Realtor: And there’s also a big yard.Mrs. Wills: Great! I’d love to have a garden. My kids can play there.Realtor: Shall we go outside and have a look?Mrs. Wills: OK.Audio track 3-2-7There are seceral ways to improve life in my city. Our biggest problem is transportation. Wereally need more ways to get around. I’d like to ride my bicycle to work, but there is too much traffic on the streets. We need safer places for bicyclingand walking. Another problem is the parks. We have some nice parks, but we don’t take good care of them and they are often dirty. We need cleaner parks, where children can play and adults can relax. One more problem is nightlife. There’s nothing to do in the evening! We should build a big theater for plays and concerts.Audio track 3-2-8Take back your streetTwo neighbors meet on a city sidewalk. They talk about planting more flowers along their street, or asking the city council to add bike lanes to a busy road. In small but important ways, these people are changing the face of their cities.All around the world, people are speaking up and working hard to make their cities safer and more pleasant for pedestrians. Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets, made streets narrower, put in traffic lights and speed bumps, and made plans to help more kids walk or bike to school.Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia, named David Engwicht. His book Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simple message. He says that in the past, streets belonged to everybody. Kids played there, and neighbors stopped there to talk.But now, streets are just for cars and trucks. People stay inside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic, and we lose contact with our neighbors. Engwicht says that we should use streets for more than just transportation. People need to take back their streets.Engwicht travels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians, streets, and neighborhoods. Besides his books and articles, he gives many speeches. He has worked in neighborhoods from Honolulu to Scotland.While Engwicht was writing his book, he learned about how neighbors in the city Delft, in the Netherlands, stopped dangerous traffic on their street. They put old couches, tables, and planters in the streets. Cars could still pass, but they had to drive slowly. When the police arrived, they saw the value of these illegal actions to make the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning ways to make cars slow down, and “calm” the traffic.Engwicht says we should think about streeets as our “outdoor living room.” Calming the traffic is just the beginning. In the future, streets will be safe places for childre again, and our neighbors will become our friends.Unit2, Lesson BVideo track 3-2-1Jennifer: I want my dream house to be by a lake with a big yard.

Roberto was excited, but he was abit nervous about learning a new software program. Claudia told him not to worry and promised to help him learn it. Then Roberto asked Claudia if she might get promoted soon because her boss had been transferred to a different office. Claudia said that getting promoted was not a big deal. She explained that her goal was to quit her job someday and relax. Roberto, however, said his life was planned already, almost right up to retirement. He thought it was important to have well-defined goals, but Claudia said to Roberto should keep his options open, and “go with the flow.” Roberto agreed, but only if the “flow” followed his plan!。

After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Passage OneQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script:Before you fly to China, you should know that the national airline is Air China. As is true of any flight, travelers should confirm their return flight reservations; otherwise they would have problems. Also, be prepared for a long flight. A nonstop from New York to Beijing lasts 14 hours while a flight to Shanghai lasts up to 18 hours.There are four airport hubs within China: Beijing, Guangzhou Baiyun International, Shanghai Hongqiao and Shanghai Pudong. Each airport includes taxis, public and shuttle buses, duty free shops, banks, post offices, business and Internet facilities and bars and restaurants. Important to note is the departure tax, which is paid in Chinese currency, or RMB, only.Once you are in China, you can take many kinds of transportation like rail, sea and automobile. Railways are the major means of transportation throughout China. The trains are inexpensive, safe and well maintained operating between major cities. There are three types of trains, the Express option being the best of the three. There are four varieties of fare: hard seat, soft seat, hard sleeper and soft sleeper. Children under 3 feet tall travel free and those under 4 feet pay a quarter of the fare. Train travel is often a comfortable experience although it takes much time, due to the distance between major cities. National plane travel saves your time. Flights from Shanghai to Beijing, Hong Kong to Shanghai and Guangzhou to Shanghai are about 2 hours; however, the roundtrip travel costs 350 dollars. Although express train travel between these cities ranges from 12 to 18 hours, the prices are much lower, between 15 to 30 dollars.6.It takes _____ to travel from New York to Shanghai by air.A) 14 hoursB) 18 hoursC) 24 hoursD) 40 hoursScript: It takes _____ to travel from New York to Shanghai by air.正确答案：B学生答案：B得分：2分7.Which one is NOT an airport hub within China?A) Beijing.B) Shanghai HongqiaoC) Shenzhen.D) Shanghai Pudong.Script: Which one is NOT an airport hub within China?正确答案：C学生答案：B得分：0分8._____ types of fare are available if one travels in China by train.A) ThreeB) FourC) FiveD) SixScript: _____ types of fare are available if one travels in China by train.正确答案：B学生答案：B得分：2分9.How much does a child between 3 and 4 feet tall pay for a train trip?A) Nothing.B) A quarter of the fare.C) A third of the fare.D) Half of the fare.Script: How much does a child between 3 and 4 feet tall pay for a train trip? 正确答案：B学生答案：C得分：0分10.How much does a round trip from Hong Kong to Shanghai cost?A) About 200 dollars.B) About 250 dollars.C) About 300 dollars.D) About 350 dollars.Script: How much does a round trip from Hong Kong to Shanghai cost?正确答案：D学生答案：B得分：0分Passage TwoQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script:Passage OneIf you are having your first business travel, you may feel excited, anxious, or even scared. Preparation is the key to success for any business traveler —whether you are an experienced traveler or beginner traveler. Here are my suggestions for preparing for any business trip.Before traveling, research your travel destination and take advantage of free time you may have. On a recent trip to New Haven, I had a few free hours to myself before my plane departed. Ahead of time, I researched a few good restaurants that I wanted to try. I downloaded a Yale walking tour to my cell phone so I could see the campus and take pictures. You may have friends or relatives close to your travel destination. Take their information in case you have an opportunity to see them. Often, business trips are too busy for you to do anything besides going to work, going to dinner, and sleeping. However, sometimes you may have delays or cancellations. You should also check the weather. It may be nice when you are departing for your trip. The weather on your return trip may be a whole other story.There are a few other things to keep in mind when you go on trips. Traveling on the company can be a great way to see the world. It's not a vacation. Business trips can be exhausting! If you are going on a trip for training, you will probably have a few hours of free time each night. You can take this opportunity to know more people. Later you can go back to your hotel room to do work. You could also take advantage of sporting events, shows, or music in the area. With everything well planned, the business travel will be part of your sweet memory.11._____ need preparations for a business travel.A) Only those having their first business travelsB) Only those traveling less than once a monthC) Both first-time travelers and experienced travelersD) All except very experienced travelersScript: _____ need preparations for a business travel.正确答案：C学生答案：C得分：2分12.What did the speaker do before traveling on a recent trip to New Haven?A) The speaker found information about restaurants.B) The speaker called some friends there.C) The speaker took pictures of the airport.D) The speaker booked the return ticket.Script: What did the speaker do before traveling on a recent trip to New Haven? 正确答案：A学生答案：C得分：0分13.You should check the weather because _____.A) the trip will be cancelled if the weather is badB) the weather on your return trip may be very differentC) you cannot play if the weather is not goodD) you will have to stay a few more days if the weather is not goodScript: You should check the weather because _____.正确答案：B学生答案：B得分：2分14.Which is TRUE about a business trip?A) It is a great vacation.B) It is a good opportunity to train yourself.C) It is not expensive.D) It is exhausting.Script: Which is TRUE about a business trip?正确答案：D学生答案：D得分：2分15.You can _____ with the free hours on a business trip.A) go to another cityB) have a vacationC) go shoppingD) listen to musicScript: You can _____ with the free hours on a business trip.正确答案：D学生答案：B得分：0分Part II Oral Tasks ( 3 minutes )Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear several conversations.

We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travelby helicopter. In Tanzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, eventraveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really knowthe village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flewaround. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" andwe just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant.

Wereally need more ways to get around. I’d like to ride my bicycle to work, but there is too muchtraffic on the streets. We need safer places for bicyclingand walking. Another problem is the parks.We have some nice parks, but we don’t take good care of them and they are often dirty. We needcleaner parks, where children can play and adults can relax. One more problem is nightlife.There’s nothing to do in the evening! We should build a big theater for plays and concerts.Audio track 3-2-8Take back your streetTwo neighbors meet on a city sidewalk. They talk about planting more flowers along their street,or asking the city council to add bike lanes to a busy road. In small but important ways, thesepeople are changing the face of their cities.All around the world, people are speaking up and working hard to make their cities safer andmore pleasant for pedestrians. Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets, made streetsnarrower, put in traffic lights and speed bumps, and made plans to help more kids walk or bike toschool.Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia, named David Engwicht. Hisbook Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simple message. He says that in the past, streetsbelonged to everybody. Kids played there, and neighbors stopped there to talk.But now, streets are just for cars and trucks. People stay inside to get away from the noise anddangerous traffic, and we lose contact with our neighbors. Engwicht says that we should usestreets for more than just transportation. People need to take back their streets.Engwicht travels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians, streets,and neighborhoods. Besides his books and articles, he gives many speeches. He has worked inneighborhoods from Honolulu to Scotland.While Engwicht was writing his book, he learned about how neighbors in the city Delft, in theNetherlands, stopped dangerous traffic on their street. They put old couches, tables, and planters inthe streets. Cars could still pass, but they had to drive slowly. When the police arrived, they sawthe value of these illegal actions to make the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning waysto make cars slow down, and “calm” the traffic.Engwicht says we should think about streeets as our “outdoor living room.” Calming the tra is just the beginning. In the future, streets will be safe places for childre again, and our neighborswill become our friends.Unit2, Lesson BVideo track 3-2-1Jennifer: I want my dream house to be by a lake with a big yard.
