Mr. Schiffer: Yes, hello there, I’m hoping to book a double room for my wife and myself for about two weeks from the 25th April of this year. Firstly, could you tell me whether it’s particularly hot during this time? Reception: Yes, of course Sir, during late April and early May, the daytime temperature shouldn’t exceed _19 degrees Celsius, but the weather has been rather erratic and difficult to predict in recent years, so I am unable to say for certain. Mr. Schiffer: Okay, that sounds good, my wife doesn’t like going outside when it’s very hot! I haven’t booked flights yet, but I must say that I’m unfamiliar with Crete and its transport system. Does the hotel provide an airport shuttle service? Reception: Yes Sir, we provide a complementary airport pick-up service for all our guests. It takes about 40 minutes to get here from the airport, but it’s at least 60 minutes at rush hours and you will be provided with a fully air-conditioned shuttle bus. Mr. Schiffer: Okay, excellent. In that case, do you have any rooms available for the dates I gave you? Reception: I shall have a look on the system now for you Sir, bear with me just a moment.[brief pause] Yes Sir, I can see now that we have several rooms available. Would you prefer a garden view or a sea view? Mr. Schiffer: Well, ideally I would like a sea-view room with a balcony, but of course that depends on the difference in price. Reception: Not to worry Sir, all of our standard double rooms have en-suite facilities and a balcony. If you would like one of our sea-view rooms, there is a premium of €60 per night. Mr. Schiffer: Okay, so could you tell me the total nightly rate for a standard double room with a sea view?Reception: Yes, of course Sir, for the spring months, our rate is ￠216 per night. For 14 nights, altogether this will come to ￠3,024.Mr. Schiffer: Perfect. I also read on your website that the hotel has gym and spa facilities. Are there any other facilities on offer?Reception: Yes, we have a large outdoor infinity pool overlooking the ocean, with luxury sun beds and a poolside bar. We also have 3 full-sized tennis courts, where we run a popular doubles tournament, with the winner receiving 2 all-inclusive spa day vouchers.Mr. Schiffer: Goodness, I shall have to brush up on my tennis skills!Mr. Schiffer: Are there any other activities organised by the hotel that we can partake in? It’s just that it’s our wedding anniversary on the 30th of June, and I would like to provide my wife with the perfect romantic getaway.Reception: I can assure you, Sir, that your wife won’t be disappointed. Ours is a 5-star resort which is renowned for its luxury and beauty. In terms of activities, the hotel provides thrice weekly entertainment. On Tuesdays, guests will take a mini bus and partake in learning to cook succulent fish dishes with our Michelin starred chef, Enrique. The class will take place in a beautiful valley deep in the Cretan hills, where guests will be treated to an intimate piano performance by our in-house concert pianist, Pedro. On Wednesdays, a select number of guests will befortunate enough to explore the mountains by helicopter, before being transported to a tropical Cretan garden by shuttle bus. Finally, on Thursdays after a fancy dinner, we provide a spectacular fireworks display, which guests can view from the comfort of a cable car.Mr. Schiffer: Oh wow, that all sounds absolutely wonderful! I shall book the room now, and then I need to look at flights so as not to become extortionate. Would you like to take my details now or later?

Bye.SECTION 2GEOFFREY: Good evening, and in this week’s edition of ‘Focus on the Arts’, Jane Hemmington is going to fill us in onwhat’s in store for us at this year’s Summer Festival.Over to you, Jane.JANE: Thank you, Geoffrey. This year, the Summer Festival is the biggest we’ve ever seen, so there should be something foreverybody. This is the third year they’ve run it and thetiming’s slightly different: for the last couple of years it’sbeen around the fifth to seventeenth, but this year theywanted to allow everyone enough time to recover from thefirst of January celebrations and they’ve put it (Q11)at theend of the month.The programme has sensational theatre, dance and also a large number of art exhibitions, but the thing the Festival is most famous for is its great street music. For today’s report though, Geoffrey, I’m looking at some of the (Q12)theatrical events that you might like to see; in particular, at this year’s theme – circuses.I’m going to tell you about two circus performances, but there are (Q13)plenty of others in the progralmme. I’ve chosen thesebecause they represent distinct movements within circus performance. The first is the Circus Romano from Italy. As this is a travelling circus, it follows a long tradition by performing (Q14)in a marquee–which is really like a canvas portable building, usually put up in a green space or car park, rather than in a theatre or stadium.In spite of this, Circus Romano isn’t at all like the traditional circuses I grew up with. There are no animals –just very talented clowning and acrobatic routines. The show has a lot of very funny moments, especially at the beginning, but the best part is the music and (Q15)lighting. They’re magical. At forty-five dollars it’s very expensive anyway – it’s really for (Q16)adult tastes. In fact, much of it would be wasted on children – so I suggest you leave them at home.The second circus performance is Circus Electrica at the (Q17)Studio Theatre. The purists are suggesting that this isn’t a circus at all. It’s a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than the usual ones you expect in a circus. With only six performers it’s a small production, which suits the venue well –the Studio only seats about two hundred people. For my money it’s the aerial displays which are outstanding as well as the magical tricks –features which are missing from Circus Romano. An interestingfeature of the show is that the performers are so young –the youngest is only fourteen. But it’s still well worth seeing: a good one for (Q18)the whole family.And finally, as it’s summer, you may wish to see some of the Festival performances that are being presented outdoors. Like the famous Mekong Water Puppet Troupe, performing in the (Q19)City Gardens this week. Now, water puppetry is amazing! It’s large puppets on long sticks, controlled by puppeteers standing waist deep in the lake. The puppets do comedy routines and there is some terrific formation dancing. This is a fantastic show and the best moment comes at the end – seeing the puppeteers. When the troupe walks up out of the water, you get this amazing feeling. It’s really hard to believe that what you’ve been watching is lifeless wood and cloth. As an adult, I had a great time, but I did note that other older people in the audience weren’t quite as taken with it as I was. It’s a must for (Q20)young children though, and that’s the audience it’s really aimed at.Well, that’s all I’ve time for today, but I’II be back next week with more news of what’s worth seeing and what it’s best to miss. SECTION 3OFFICER:Hello. Er, I’m Dawn Matthews.STUDENT:Yes, hello. I’ve been referred to you because I’menquiring about the refresher courses that you run. I’dlike to find out abit more about them.OFFICER:OK. Well, we run quite a few different short courses for students who are either (Q21)returning to study orstudying part-time. Um, tell me about your situation. STUDENT: Well, I think that I really need some help in preparing for the coming semester, especially to build up myconfidence a bit and help me study effectively because,you see, I’ve been out in the work-force for nearlytwelve years now, so it really is a long time since I waslast a student.OFFICER:Yes, it can seem like a long time, can’t it? Um, well, let me start by telling you what courses we have that mightsuit you. Are you an undergraduate or postgraduate?Arts or Sciences?STUDENT:Undergraduate, and I’m in the Business faculty. OFFICER:Right then. First of all, there’s our intensive ‘Study for Success’seminar on (Q22)the first and second ofFebruary. It’s aimed at students like you who areuncertain about what to expect at college, and looks at afairly wide range of approaches to university learning,to motivate you to begin your study and build on yourown learning strategies.STUDENT:Mm, that sounds good. What are some of the strategies that are presented?OFFICER: Well, we try to cover all aspects of study. Some of the strategies in writing, for example, would be improvingyour planning for writing, organising your thinking andbuilding some techniques to help you (Q23)write moreclearly. With reading, there’ll be sessions aimed atgetting into the habit of (Q24)analysingmaterial asyou read it, and tips to help you record and rememberwhat you have read. It really is very important to beginreading confidently right from the beginning. STUDENT: Mm.OFFICER: There’s also advice on how to get the most from your lectures and practice in giving confident presentations,as well as how to prepare for exams.STUDENT: What about the motivational side of things? OFFICER:Ah. Well, there’s a range of motivational exercises that we do to help the students feel (Q25)positive andenthusiastic about their study. The process of learningand exploring a subject can lead to a whole new wayoflooking at the world, and the study skills and techniquesthat you build up can be applied in all sorts of differentways.STUDENT:Actually, I… I’m very excited about the whole thing of taking up studying again but, you know, I’m a littlenervous about whether I’ll manage to get everythingdone. I suppose it’s the same for all mature students? OFFICER:Of course it is. Two of the key components of the course are (Q26)time management and overcomingprocrastination. People discover that, once they learn toplan their days, all the work can be accomplished andthere’ll still be time for leisure.STUDENT: Is there an enrolment fee?OFFICER:Well, er, oh, just a minute, let’s see . . . Ah, the cost is thirty pounds, whichincludes all course materials andmorning tea. You have to arrange your ownlunch. STUDENT:That wouldn’t be a problem. I already make sandwiches for my three kids andmy wife and myself every day. Iwon’t have to change my routine.OFFICER:No. Now, I need to tell you that this is a very popular course and it’s essentialthat you (Q27)book well aheadof time. In fact, the Course Convenor tells me thatthereare only five places left.STUDENT:What other course might be good for me?OFFICER:There is one other that you could benefit from. It’s simply called ‘LearningSkills for University Study’and is on(Q28)three consecutive mornings starting onaMonday, from nine to twelve, and costs twenty-fivepounds. This is aimedat upgrading the study skills mostschool-leavers have and help them cope with theincreased demands of university study. It focuses mainlyon makingstudents more responsible for their ownsuccess.STUDENT:What sort of things are covered in this course? OFFICER:Well, basically it’s more advanced thinking, note-taking, reading and writingstrategies, but also some input about(Q29)stress management.STUDENT:I think I’d be better off (Q30)starting from the basics and looking at all thestrategies, don’t you? OFFICER:Yes, from what you’ve told me, I think that’s more in line with your situation.STUDENT:Alright then, um, can I book a place on the ‘Study for Success’ seminar coursenow?OFFICER:Yes. Let mejust get out a registration form and take down your details.SECTION 4We’re very grateful that the Committee has agreed that a representative for the Students’Union can present students’suggestions about the design for the proposed new Union building. We appreciate that some of our ideas may not be feasible in the circumstances, but we do feel that it is important that the ultimate beneficiaries of the facilities should have some say in its design.If I could start by briefly explaining what steps were taken to find out student opinion and how we have arrived at conclusions. Firstly, a meeting was held in the current Union for our SU Committee to explain the options. Then we invited all students to submit written suggestions for the design, placing cards in a suggestion box. These suggestions then provided the basis for the design of a (Q31)questionnaire, which was completed by (Q32)approximately two thousand of the College students over a period of three weeks. Finally, the SUCommittee collated the results and drew up a report. If I can just hand around a copy of that report. This presentation is essentially a summary and discussion of the key points of this report.So, in broad terms, the consensus was as follows. Firstly, regarding the crucial matter of the site, we presented the three options that you have proposed. One: in the city centre, near theFaculty of (Q33)Education; two: on the outskirts of the city, near the park, and three: out of town, near the (Q34)halls of residence. We asked students to cite reasons for and against these sites and, and there was remarkable agreement on all three. Site One was unpopular because of (Q35) traffic and parking problems. Site Two had a number of supporters, mainly because it was close to (Q36)most lecture rooms. And Site Three, out of town, near the halls of residence, was clearly the most popular because of access from living quarters. It was clear that the Union was mainly to be used after lectures. It was also felt that the large site would allow (Q37)more room for a choice of facilities.Our second area of interest was obviously the facilities: there was minimal interest in having a library on the premises, but one option seemed to be a reading room instead –more useful. We would like the current table games room to be replaced with (Q38)a small gym. And, if possible, a small swimming pool – not, of course, Olympic-sized! There was a large number of respondents in favour of a travel agent’s and insurance centre. We also request that there be the offices of the Student Counselling Centre, moving this from the Refectory. There was, however, much disagreement about whether to build a drama theatre. Just over forty per cent of the respondents were in favour, but a largish minority were stronglyagainst it, claiming that it is (Q39) elitist and a waste of funds. Essentially the jury is out on that.Finally, given the number of unfortunate incidents in the current Union over the past few months, a strong point was repeatedly made about security. The recommendations would be at least (Q40)video surveillance and security personnel who would check Student Union cards on request. We doubt if it would be feasible in．Well, this is the summary of the views of the student population. As I say, fuller details are given in our report but I’m happy to take any questions if you have them . . .。

So, I’ll hand over now to Julie Brooks.julie brooks: Thank you. Welcome to the Sports Centre. It’s good to see that there are so many people wanting to find out about our sports facilities. First of all, membership. All students at the college are entitled to become members of the Sports Centre, for an annual fee of ￡9.50. To register with us and get your membership card, you need to come to reception, between 2 and 6 pm, Monday to Thursday. I’m afraid we can’t register new members on Friday, so it’s Monday to Thursday, 2 to 6, at reception. Now, there are three things that you must remember to bring with you when you come to register; they are: your Union card, a recent passport-sized photograph of yourself, and the fee. It doesn’t matter whether you bring cash or a cheque. We can’t issue your card unless you bring all three; so, don’t forget: your Union card, passport photo and fee. Then once you’ve got your sports card, you will need to bring it with you whenever you come to book or use any Sports Centre facilities. Booking over the phone is not allowed, so you have to come here in person, with your card, when you want to book. Our opening hours seem to get longer every year. We are now open from 9am to 10pm on weekdays and from 10am to 6pm on Saturdays. For those of you who are up and about early in the morning, we are introducing a 50 per cent ‘morning discount’ this year. This is because the facilities tended to be under-used in the mornings last year. It means that all the sessions will be half-price between 9am and 12 noon on weekdays.. So, what exactly are the facilities? What sports can you play here? Well, this room we are in at the moment is called the Main Hall, and it’s used mainly for team sports such as football, volleyball and basketball, but also for badminton and aerobics. On the other side of the reception area there is the dance studio; this provides a smaller, more intimate space, which we use for ballet, modern dance and martial arts not at the same time, of course. Then in a separate building, which you may have noticed on your way here . . . it’s on the other side of the car park . . . there are the squash courts(six of them), and at the far end of the building a fitness room. This is our newest facility, only completed in the Spring, but it is already proving to be one of the most popular. As well as all these facilities available here on the campus, we also have an arrangement with the local tennis club, which is only two miles away, entitling our students to use their courts on weekday mornings in the Summer. So, I think that there should be something here for everybody, and I hope to see all of you at the Centre, making use of the facilities. If, in the course of the year, you have any suggestions as to how the service we provide might be improved or its appeal widened, I’ll be interested to hear from you.Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS OR ANUMBER for each answer.11．正确答案：(￡)9.5012．正确答案：year // annum NOT annual13．正确答案：reception NOT Sports CentreComplete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.14．正确答案：card15．正确答案：book16．正确答案：weekdaysLook at the map of the Sports Complex bel the buildings on the map of the Sports Complex.Choose your answers from the box below and write them against Questions 17-20.Arts Studio Football Pitch Tennis Courts Dance Studio Fitness Room Reception Squash Courts17．正确答案：Reception(Area)18．正确答案：Dance Studio19．正确答案：Squash Courts20．正确答案：Fitness Room听力原文：john brown: Good morning, Mrs Collins.

Ted Hunter is a member of the Domesticated Ostrich Farming Association, and is here to tell us about the possibilities of breeding and rearing these birds here in this country. ted: Thank you, Paula. When you look at international restaurant menus and supermarkets they all tend to feature the same range of meats - beef, lamb, chicken, pork, that sort of thing. But people are always interested in something different and we’re now finding that farming can bring new types of meat to our tables. The kangaroo is one animal that’s now being farmed for its meat and eaten outside Australia, where it comes from. It looks and tastes rather like rabbit, though it’s slightly darker in colour, but it is rather tough, so that’s a problem for some people. Crocodiles are also being farmed for their meat. This is rather like chicken, pale and tender, and it’s getting quite fashionable. Some people also find it’s rather fatty, but I think it makes a really tasty sandwich. Now a third type of meat becoming increasingly available, and the one that I think is by far the nicest of the three, is ostrich, which most people say has a similar taste and texture to beef. However, it’s much better for you than beef, as we’ll see later. Most people think of ostriches as wild animals, but in fact ostriches have been farmed in South Africa since around 1860. At first they were produced for their feathers. In Africa they were used for tribal ceremonial dress and they were also exported to Europe and America where they were made into ladies’ fans and used for decorating hats. Later, feather fans and big, decorated hats went out of fashion but ostriches were still bred, this time for their hide. This can be treated to produce about half a square metre of leather - very delicate, fine stuff of very good quality. At the same time, some of the meat was used for biltong - the air-dried strips of meat popular in South Africa as a sort of fast food. However, recently there’s been more and more interest in the development of ostrich farming in other parts of the world, and more people are recognising its value as a food source. Ostrich meat is slightly higher in protein than beef- and much lower in fats and cholesterol. It tastes good too. A series of European taste tests found that 82% of people prefer ostrich to beef. And one ostrich produces a lot of meat - from around 30 to 50 kg, mostly from the hindquarters of the bird. Farmed ostriches don’t need African climates, and in fact ostrich farming is now becoming well established in other parts of the world. However, setting up an ostrich farm isn’t something to embark on lightly. Mature breeding birdsare very expensive - even a fertilised ostrich egg isn’t cheap so you need quite a bit of capital to begin with. Then the farmer needs special equipment such as incubators for the eggs. The young chicks are very dependent on human minders, and need a lot of attention from the people looking after them. In addition, ostriches can’t be intensively farmed - they need space and exercise. But in spite of this they make good farming sense. A cow produces only one calf a year whereas a female ostrich can lay an egg every other day. And because the farmers can use incubators and hatched chicks are nourished well and protected from danger, the failure rate on farms is very low indeed and almost all the fertilised eggs will hatch out into chicks which will in turn reach maturity. This is very different from the situation in the wild, where the vast majority of chicks will die or be killed before they grow up into mature ostriches. So it’s possible, once the initial outlay has been made, for the farmer to be looking at very good profit margins indeed. Ostrich farming is still in its early days outside Africa but we hope that ostrich meat will be freely available soon and before long will be as cheap as beef.Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.31．正确答案：rabbit(meat)32．正确答案：(rather)tough33．正确答案：beefComplete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.34．正确答案：(ladies’)(feather)fans35．正确答案：(delicate)(fine)(good quality)leather36．正确答案：meat37．Ostrich meatA．has more protein than beef.B．tastes nearly as good as beef.C．is very filling.正确答案：A // has more protein than beef38．One problem with ostrich farming in Britain isA．the climate.B．the cost of transporting birds.C．the price of ostrich eggs.正确答案：C // the price of ostrich eggs39．Ostrich chicks reared on farmsA．must be kept in incubators until mature.B．are very independent.C．need looking after carefully.正确答案：C // need looking after carefully40．The speaker suggests ostrich farms are profitable because A．little initial outlay is required.B．farmed birds are very productive.C．there is a good market for the meat.正确答案：B // farmed birds are very productive。

Right... about your current watching habits... what would you say is your main reason for watching TV?B Well, at work I tend to read for information and what have you, so I’d say that with TV it probably just helps me relax and unwind.A Fine. And how many hours a day on average do you watch TV?B Not a lot really... I should say just over an hour.A So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV?B Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late—eleven or even midnight—when I’ve finished work.

And turning to the new channel... which type of programmes would you like to see more of?B Well, I certainly don’t think we need any more factual programmes like news and documentaries.

As you probably know already, the Student Union Building is the main centre of social life here, as indeed it is in most British Universities. The Union runs a weekly programme of events for all tastes.. .oh everything from discos to talks by guest speakers. Many of these events are fund raising activities for charities, which the U-nion takes very seriously.

Did you have a question?STUDENT Yes, does the Union also provide help with any problems, I mean advice on financial problems, for example? Or does the University provide that?ELIZABETH Yes, the Union run their own advice service, offering help with financial matters such as grants. I am sure you realise anything medical should be discussed with the University Medical Service, which also has an excellent counselling centre. I think that was made clear yesterday. However the Union has its own officer who can give advice on legal problems. Now, onto Radford. For a town of its size, Radford has some unusually good leisure and community facilities and has quite a good shopping centre, with an interesting range of shops. As you go into Radford, there’s a new... well, quite new... Olympic-size swimming pool. That’s on the outskirts at a place called Renton. Above the pool there’s a hi-tech fitness centre. Are there any ice skaters here? No? Oh, pity! The facilities for ice-skating are excellent. Well, the new Metro Tower, right in the centre of town has got an ice rink and a sports hall for squash, badminton, volleyball and several other indoor sports. And in the same building there’s a new cinema with six screens.

Look, let me write it on the board... when the different stages have to be completed. First of all you’ve got to work on your basic bibliography, and that’s due in to your course tutor by 31 January. . .which is just two weeks away, so you’d better get a move on on that.ANDY Do we have to have our own draft plan by then?DR SIMON No, your draft plan is due on 7 February, which is a week later, so that should give you plenty of time.JANE And when do we have to be doing the research?DR SIMON That’s over a one-month period.. .essentially February to March.ANDY And the write up?DR SIMON Well, you can’t really get going on your writing until you’ve got quite a bit of the research done, so that’s really March to May, with the hand in date on 21st.

Avoid them!ANDY About interviews. . .is it OK if we interview you?DR SIMON The tutors? I don’t see why not; they don’t have any special contribution to make, but you can if you want. There’s a whole section on this issue in the Research Guide. I’m afraid it’s slightly out of date, and you’re probably better talking to the tutor on the Research Methods course, but you might find it useful to start there.ANDY/JANE OK, thanks.DR SIMON OK.. .well, great, I hope that sorted a few things out.

This morning we are continuing our look at Australia and its natural problems. Actually dryness, or aridity, as it is generally called by geographers, is probably the most challenging of Australia’s natural problems and so it is very important in this course for you to have a goodunderstanding of the subject. For Australia, water is a precious resource and its wise management is of the greatest importance. As I have said, Australia is a dry continent, second only to Antarctica in its lack of rainfall. Long hours of hot sunshine and searing winds give Australia an extremely high rate of evaporation, far more than in most other countries. It is estimated that approximately 87% of Australia’s rainfall is lost through evaporation, compared with just over 60% in Europe and Africa and 48% in North America. You generally think of Africa as being a very hot and dry place, but it is not in comparison with Australia. In many parts of Australia standing water, that is dams, puddles and so forth, dry up rapidly and some rainfall barely penetrates the soil. The reason for this is that the moisture is absorbed by thirsty plants. Some parts of Australia are dry because rainwater seeps quickly through sandy soils and into the rock below. In parts of Australia this water which seeps through the sandy soil collects underground to form underground lakes. Water from these subterranean lakes can be pumped to the surface and tapped and so used for various purposes above the ground. In fact, extensive underground water resources are available over more than half of Australia’s land area, but most of the water is too salty to be used for human consumption or for the irrigation of crops. However, most inland farmers do rely on this water for watering their animals and, where possible, to a lesser extent for irrigation. Underground water can flow very large distances and can be kept in underground reservoirs for a very long time. Water from these underground reservoirs bubbles to the surface as springs in some parts of the country, and these rare sources of permanent water were vital to early explorers of inland Australia, and to other pioneers last century, who used the springs for survival. But in many places levels have fallen drastically through continuous use over the years. This has necessitated the pumping of the water to the surface. Remarkably, underground water sources in Australia supply about 18% of total water consumption. So you can see it is quite an important source of water in this dry land. So most of the consumption of water in Australia comes from water which is kept above ground. More than 300 dams regulate river flows around the country. The dams store water for a variety of functions, the rural irrigation of crops, without which many productive areas of the country would not be able to be farmed; the regulation of flooding, a serious problem which will be dealt with later in the course; and last but not least, the harnessing of the force of gravity for the generation of electricity. That is all we have time for this morning, but you will be able to do further study on this important area in the library.I have a handout here with references on the subject, so if you are interested, please come up to the desk and take a copy. Next week’s lecture is a case study of an outback farm and it will be going into detail about some of the problems we discussed here...31．The driest continents is______A．Australia.B．Africa.C．Antarctica.正确答案：C32．The evaporation rate in Australia is______A．lower than Africa.B．higher than Africa.C．about the same as Africa.正确答案：B33．Rainfall in Australia hardly penetrates the soil because______A．the soil is too hard.B．the soil is too hot.C．plants use it up.正确答案：C34．In sandy soils water can______A．evaporate quickly.B．seep down to rock.C．wash the soil away.正确答案：B35．Water is mainly pumped up for______A．people to drink.B．animals to drink.C．watering crops.正确答案：B36．Natural springs are located______A．in unexplored parts of Australia.B．quite commonly over all Australia.C．in a few areas of Australia.正确答案：C37．Underground water supplies______.A．18%of Australia’s water.B．48% of Australia’s water.C．80%of Australia’s water.正确答案：ACircle THREE letters A~E.Which THREE of the following uses of dam waterare mentioned?(A)providing water for livestock(B)watering farmland(C)providing water for industry(D)controlling flood water(E)producing hydro-electric power 38．正确答案：B39．正确答案：D40．正确答案：E。

I’m interested in doing a course in paragliding.Man: Which course are you interested in?Maria: Well, I’m not sure. What’s available?Man: Well ... we’ve got the introductory course which lasts for two days.Maria: OK.Man: Or there’s the 4-day beginners’ course which is what most people do first. I’d tend to recommend that one. And there’s also the elementary pilot course which takes five to six days depending on conditions.Maria: We might try the beginner’s course. What sort of prices are we looking at?Man: The introductory is ＄190; the beginner’s course, which is probably what you’d be looking at, is ＄320 - no, sorry 330 - it’s just gone up - and the pilot course is ＄430.Maria: Right.Man: And you also have to become a member of our club so that you’re insured. That’ll cost you ＄12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.Maria: Does that cover me if I break a leg?Man: No, I’m afraid not - it’s only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings, but not theft or injury. You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.Maria: I see! And what’s the best way to get to your place? By public transport or could we come by bike? We’re pretty keen cyclists.Man: It’s difficult by public transport though there is a bus from Newcastle; most people get here by car, though, cos we’re a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I’ll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What’s your name?Maria: Maria Gentle.Man: And your address, Maria?Maria: Well, I’m a student staying with a family in Newcastle.Man: So it’s care of ...Maria: Care of Mr and Mrs. McDonald.Man: Like the hamburgers!Maria: Yes, exactly.Man: McDonald ...Maria: The post office box address is probably best. It’s R.O. Box 676, Newcastle.Man: Is there a fax number there, because I could fax you the information?Maria: Yes, actually, there is. It’s 0249 that’s for Newcastle and then double seven five four three one.Man: OK. Now if you decide to do one of our courses, you’ll need to book in advance and to pay when you book. How would you be paying?Maria: Uh ... by credit card if that’s OK. Do you take Visa?Man: Yes, fine. We take all major cards, including Visa.Maria: OK then. Thanks very much.Maria: Hi, Pauline.Pauline: Hi, Maria! What’s that you’re reading?Maria: Just some information from a paragliding school-it looks really good fun. Do you fancy a go at paragliding?Pauline: Sure! Do you have to buy lots of equipment and stuff?Maria: Not really. The school provides the equipment but we’d have to take a few things along.Pauline: Such as?Maria: Well, it says here. ‘Clothes: wear stout boots’, so no sneakers or sandals I suppose, and ‘clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt.’ That’s probably in-case you land in the stinging nettles! It also says we should bring a packed lunch. We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee. Water is really the best thing to drink. Er...we need to bring suntan lotion and something to protect your head from the sun!Pauline: OK that sounds reasonable. And where would we stay?Maria: Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too, because it says here that it’s only ＄10 a day to pitch a tent. That’d be fine, wouldn’t it? And that way we’d save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money.Pauline: Um... or perhaps we could stay in a bed-and- breakfast nearby. It gives a couple of names here we could ring. I think I might prefer that. Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm and I don’t fancy a caravan.Maria: No, I agree. But let’s take a tent and pray for good weather.Pauline: OK - let’s do it. What about next weekend?Maria: No, I can’t - I’m going on a geography field trip.Pauline: ... and then it’s the weekend before the exams and I really do need to study.Maria: OK, then. Let’s make it the one after the exams.Pauline: Fine - we’ll need a break by then. Can you ring and let me know ...SECTION 1 Questions 1-10Questions 1-3Listen to the telephone conversation between a student and the owner of a paragliding school and answer the questions below.Circle the correct letters A-D.1．How much is the beginner’s course?A．＄190B．＄320C．＄330D．＄430正确答案：C2．What does the club insurance cover?A．injury to yourselfB．injury to your equipmentC．damage to other people’s propertyD．loss of personal belongings正确答案：C3．How do the girls want to travel?A．public transportB．private busC．carD．bicycle正确答案：DQuestions 4-7Complete the form below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.4．【4】正确答案：McDonald/Macdonald/MacDonald5．【5】正确答案：Post Office Box/PO Box 6766．【6】正确答案：7754317．【7】正确答案：credit card/Visa8．Question 8Circle TWO letters A-G.Which TWO of the following items must people take with them?[A] sandals[B] old clothes[C] pullover[D] shirt with long sleeves[E] soft drinks[F] hat正确答案：DF解析：你必须选对两个答案才能得分。

RENTER: Yes, that’s right. You said on the phone that I could come by at 2:00. Sorry, I’m a little early. AGENT: No problem at all. In Calgary’s market, you have to move fast if you want a good apartment! RENTER: Actually, I’d settle for almost anything. I’ve been here ten days and the hotel is ruining me. My father has me on a strict budget. AGENT: Sit right down here now, sir. Let’s talk a little about the places before we go have a look. Now, we have four apartments available. RENTER: OK, could you tell me more about these four apartments?AGENT: Sure. The first one is on Beatle Road, just a block off campus. It’s a 3-bedroom with a bathroom and a living room and a great Italian restaurant right next to it. RENTER: How much?AGENT: Well, it’s $435 a month including Internet and utilities.RENTER: Okay, that sounds reasonable. Any drawbacks to the house?AGENT: There’s a really big garden, but it hasn’t been taken care of over the years and is just too big to clean up nicely. RENTER: Hmm. That sounds okay; tell me about the next option.AGENT: The other 3-bedroom apartment is on Oakington Avenue on campus. It is right near the building where you have classes, and the kitchen and living room are newly furnished. RENTER: Wow, that sounds like a pretty good option. AGENT: Well it is a cool apartment, but since it’s a dormitory, the living room, bathroom, kitchen, and washing machine are all shared. It would be nice not to have to buy living room furniture, though. RENTER: And how much is this one?AGENT: $400 per month for a bedroom with an air conditioner. For a bedroom without an air conditioner, you would pay less, $340, for it.RENTER: Yikes, even with the air conditioner it sounds really inconvenient to have to share facilities. I’ll never cook if I have to walk down the hall to use the kitchen.AGENT: Yeah, that’s true.AGENT: Anyway, the next place is a 2-bedroom on Mead Street.RENTER: Oh, I like Mead Street - that’s off campus, right?AGENT: Yep. It’s pretty cool, but it has only 2 bedrooms, plus a living room and a study. RENTER: But I want to live together with my two friends.AGENT: So you could make the study into a small bedroom if you end up living with them. RENTER: Also, we guys will want a TV and DVD player since we’re all so much into movies. AGENT: Well, this place has a great TV and VCR, but no DVD player.RENTER: No DVD? That’s so weird. Are any other facilities provided?AGENT: As you said, weird enough, it also comes with a washbasin.RENTER: Is there a washing machine? I think we need that more than just a washbasin. AGENT: I’m afraid there’s no washing machine in the apartment.RENTER: Wow, that’s so old-fashioned! Maybe it’s not the best choice for three college guys. How much is it? AGENT: Well it’s $600 per month, but of course it would be cheaper if you made it into 3 bedrooms instead of 2. RENTER: Where isthis apartment located?AGENT: It’s 2500 Mead Street, where there are a lot of bars.RENTER: It would be affordable, but it would get pretty noisy. And that sounds really expensive for an old place in a noisy area. How about the last place? AGENT: This one’s on-campus in the Devon Close complex. It’s a one-bedroom, so it will be a little quieter than the Mead Street place. RENTER: One bedroom, huh? That could be good for focusing on my studies. What else does it have? AGENT: It comes with a living room and a study, and includes a really nice lamp in the study that has a bunch of different settings. You know what else is cool? There’s a dining hall downstairs so all evening meals are free. You can purchase breakfast and lunch, but meals after 6 p.m. are free. RENTER: Wow, this place sounds too good to be true. Is it really expensive? AGENT: It’s alright - $500 per month, but there’s no bathroom.RENTER: WHAT? No bathroom?AGENT: Well, there’s no bathroom in the apartment but there’s one at the end of the hall. RENTER: Hmm. Thanks, I think now I just have to decide whether I want to live alone or not. AGENT: Yeah, which one do you prefer?RENTER: I think I’d choose either this apartment or the one on Beatle Road. AGENT: OK. You’d better think about it, and then you can contact me ASAP. RENTER: Fine, thanks for your help!AGENT: You’re welcome.Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.1．正确答案：435解析：435本题为横向表格题，根据空格所在纵列为price，得知此处考查数字的填写。

The one I havechosen to tall to you about today is what I consider our best tour—it will take you from coast to mountain and back again. You’ll spend a memorable and very comfortable day traveling in air-conditioned luxury. You’ll see from our brochure that we have four pick-up stops along the coast and, about twenty minutes after we pick up our last passenger for the day, we’ll be stopping off briefly at a magnificent housing development, marina and shopping complex—you’ll be able to admire some of the most expensive and lavish houses on the coast—and here we’ll take a quick walk around the waterfront. Now, despite its name, Hope Island, we can reach it without getting our feet wet or taking a boat ride. Hope Island is connected to the mainland by bridges. From there we head inland to the beautiful Tambourine Mountain. You’ll have time to browse in the many specialty shops or you can sit and relax at a friendly outdoor café. We board the bus again and pass through an old timber-milling town on our way to O’Reilly’s Green Mountains. Once there, you might wish to venture across the famous tree top walk which is a bridge suspended in the canopy of a rain forest—definitely not for the faint-hearted! If you’re not up to the excitement of this walk, or perhaps after you’ve done it, why not enjoy lunch on the balcony of O’Reilly’s restaurant? Before we leave, you’ll have time for a stroll through the Botanical Gardens or perhaps you’d like to feed the beautiful parrots and other birds—we’ll supply the birdseed. From O’Reilly’s we travel to an alpaca farm for a demonstration and of course there’ll be a photo opportunity for you with these gorgeous animals before returning to the coach for the journey back to your original departure point.11．The coach is comfortable because it is ______.正确答案：air-conditioned12．After all passengers are aboard, the coach will make its first stop at ______ Island.正确答案：Hope13．The ‘Tree Top Walk’ is above a ______.正确答案：rain forest14．Passengers will have a ______ with the alpacas before boarding the bus for home.正确答案：photo opportunity听力原文：If I’ve persuaded any of you to sign up for this tour, take a look at our Dreamtime Tours brochure. You’ll see that you can book over the telephone or you can make reservations through the reception desk. We generally have a member ofstaff manning the desk from 7.30 am to 9 pm every day of the week. Don’t hesitate to ask reception staff any questions that you might have about this tour, or any other tour, and be sure to make it known if you have any special needs. We’ll do our best to make your trip rewarding and worthwhile. If this is the tour you want, be sure to specify Green Mountain Tour and note that these excursions are full day tours on three days of the week only: Sunday, Monday and Frida~although we’re hoping to have a Saturday tour available by next year. You’ll see that fares are extremely reasonable with each adult paying just 37 dollars. Now, that’s not bad for a trip of around 280 kilometers, is it? If you want to bring the family, obviously the family pass is great value at 94 dollars—that includes two adults and two children--but if you are an older adult, over 65, in other words, a senior citizen, your fare is discounted too—you’ll pay a bit less than the full adult rate. Please note the departure times—we adhere to these strictly—the coach will leave the southern most point of Coolangatta at ten to eight sharp, travel through Burleigh and on to Surfers Paradise, which is our most popular pick-up point, departing from there at half past eight in the morning. At a quarter to nine we make our last pick-up at Labrador. May I remind you to dress appropriately for the day—ladies, no high heels, please. Comfortable walking shoes are what is required and I always recommend that everyone takes a light jacket because the mountain air can be quite cool compared to the heat and humidity of the coastal regions. Oh, something else I should remind you of—the prices quoted in the brochure are just for coach travel, although we can arrange for a mini-bus to collect you from your accommodation and bring you to the departure point free of charge. If you want to avail yourself of this service, be sure to let the booking clerk know. You will need to bring along extra cash or a credit card to cover expenses such as optional side-trips, food and drink and, of course, entrance fees to the various attractions. Well, that’s all I have time to tell you—if you have further enquiries, please use the phone number on the brochure.15．正确答案：reception desk16．正确答案：Green Mountain17．正确答案：senior citizen18．正确答案：8.30am19．正确答案：coach travel20．正确答案：entrance fees听力原文：LIAISON: Come in and sit down, Lester...Sharon. I can see you’re keen to know more. To start with, I’d just like to say that we value volunteers highly and recognize their importance and assistance in the provision of quality education.LESTER: Thank you...we’re looking forward to helping out, but what exactly can we do?LIAISON: V olunteers can undertake a range of tasks...in general they enrich the English language programmed and complement the contributions of salaried staff members...SHARON: Yes, but...what would we do specifically?LIAISON: Oh, a variety of tasks, for instance, you can tutor individual students in reading...LESTER: I thought that might be the case...LIAISON: But...you can also help students edit their written responses.LESTER: Great...Is that also a one-on-one activity?LIAISON: Oh, yes, definitely; but volunteers are also called on to assist in designated classes...SHARON: And, what exactly would we do there?LIAISON: Well, it depends on the class of course, but usually you take on the role of an assistant.LESTER: A teacher’s assistant?LIAISON: Yes, that’s it.SHARON: Sounds like fun and good preparation for our own careers.LIAISON: Then, an enormous area of assistance is developing students’organizational skills.LESTER: Yes, I can imagine that’s why some of them are struggling in the first place.LIAISON: There’s also the special needs unit. They always need volunteers there.SHARON: But we have no training in special needs.LIAISON: That’s not necessary. These students just really appreciate having any extra attention—sometimes help with the simplest things...like holding a pen correctly.LESTER: Ah...well, that’s something all able-bodied students should learn. I’ve noticed some of the strangest pen grips amongst my peers and I’m sure they must end up with sore hand or shoulder muscles at the end of the day.LIAISON: Yes. I’m sure you’re right. The other task I’d like you two to help out with is encouraging and improving the students’ work ethic.SHARON: Oh, I can’t imagine that’ll be easy!LIAISON: No, but it is important, and I can give you some training in that field.LESTER: That’ll be good.LIAISON: I should also point out that you’ll be working alongside quality teachers at times who are not only caring role-models but excellent motivators.SHARON: Well, we should learn a lot from them.LIAISON: Yes, the teachers you’ll be assigned to are innovative and very responsive to the different needs of individual students.LESTER: If that’s true, they must be adept at a variety of teaching styles.LIAISON: Quite right. You know, part of my mission is to forge close partnerships between experienced teachers and trainees like yourselves. As far as I can see everyone has something to gain from the exchangeof information and skills--not just the students you’re helping.21．According to the liaison officer, what do volunteers help provide?正确答案：quality education22．What can volunteers help students check and correct?正确答案：written responses23．What aspect of students’ self-management can volunteers assist greatly with improving?正确答案：organisational skills24．What will volunteers try to develop in the students so that they exert themselves more?正确答案：work ethic25．What is it that teachers have that allows them to respond to individual student requirements?

The school you’re going to assist at is augmenting the number of vocational learning experiences offered within its subjects. Educational philosophy these days seems to recognize the importance of increasing practical components in the curriculum. Areas of development being pursued include building and construction, agriculture, business education and hospitality; but the marine studies course is already well developed.LESTER: Oh, now I see where we fit in.LIAISON: You’ll find that the school has an excellent library and audio visual collection. There are 3 computer laboratories and a special-needs network with 6 stations.LESTER: Ah...they are well equipped.LIAISON: Mum...wait till you see their Independent Learning Centre.LESTER: What’s so special about their ILC?LIAISON: They have the most sophisticated self-learning software I’ve ever seen in this region of the country.LESTER: Really?LIAISON: Ah huh. And there’s a wide number of extra-curricular activities, an extensive sporting programmed...LESTER: Oh, sport—not my thing at all...LIAISON: Well, no, maybe not, but they also promote students’participation in different scholastic competitions.LESTER: I’m impressed—I think we’re going to enjoy this.Choose your answers from the box and write the letters A-H next to questions 26-30.

Anxiety is something you’ve all experienced at some time in your life so you’ll know that it’s an emotional condition in which feelings of dread, fear and mental agitation predominate. However, what we call an anxiety state, or anxiety neurosis or phobic state—they all mean the same thing—is characterized by anxiety reactions far greater than those normally expected for the circumstances and these reactions may be severe and prolonged. This is the most common form of neurosis in westernized countries. Usually, normal anxietydecreases with repeated exposure to the feared situation whereas a neurotic anxiety tends to increase. Gradually the person is inclined to avoid the feared situation and views it with increasing dread. Sometimes there may be an inherited tendency for this, but usually environmental issues are more important. The individual may have been a worrier throughout life and a stressful condition, just before symptoms set in, is common. Often there is a gradual build-up of anxiety, possibly for weeks or months, before the ultimate break occurs. The precipitating cause is usually one of great significance to the patient, often related to personal events—such as bereavement, a break-up, threats to career, health or personal integrity. What are the symptoms of phobia? Well, phobic states often develop into severe, crippling challenges that can be very difficult to overcome. The person develops a fear of certain situations. It’s not uncommon to have one or more of these present at the same time. I’m going to name some frequent phobias and give you a description of their symptoms: Let’s start with Agoraphobia which is when the person has an intense anxiety about venturing outside the safety of the normal home surroundings. It may be impossible for this person to ever go out alone. Their fear of public or open spaces is completely irrational and they often end up leading very secluded lives. Claustrophobia, on the other hand, is a morbid fear of closed-in areas or places—if you see me taking the stairs instead of the lift, think about it—am I trying to get more exercise or am I trying to avoid the confined interior of the lift? And I’m sure you all know people who are afraid of flying—sometimes it’s the fear of being enclosed in the aero plane itself—and you can imagine how the cramped confines of airline toilets are really bad news for these sufferers. Now, I’ll move on to discuss Social phobia which, believe it or not, is more common in men. It’s an acute anxiety that develops when they are in the presence of others. They feel self-conscious, apprehensive and embarrassed. If attention (real or imagined) is focused on the sufferer, he becomes uneasy and may blush, stammer or stutter. Some sufferers even develop tremors—shaking or trembling movements of a part (or parts) of the body—or, another very common sign of their extreme discomfort is that they perspire profusely on their palms, under their arms or on their feet. That brings me to the last one that I want to mention today and that is Single phobia—and no, it’s not a fear of lifelong bachelorhood! This one is actually precipitated by an acute aversion to dogs, cats, spiders—you may have heard of the term, arachnophobia? Well it applies specifically to spiders—but any single thing can basically cause a strong aversion: snakes, frogs, mice or rats, for instance. I can assure you, the list is unlimited. You name it, and someone is sure to have a phobia about it. Some people are terrified of the dark, for example, and I’m not talking about young children here. You’d be surprised how many adults are afflicted in this way. Well, I see our time is up. Next week, I’ll go into some of the treatments and therapies for phobias that have been used over the ages and some of the relatively new drugs that have recently come on the scene.31．Someone in an anxiety state has worse ______ than normal.正确答案：anxiety reactions32．A phobia may stem from heredity or ______.正确答案：environmental issues33．The reason for the final breakdown is generally linked with ______ like the loss of a loved one or a health crisis.正确答案：personal eventsMatch the phobic state in the box to the symptoms below.

EMPLOYER: That shouldn’t be a problem, since we don’t stay open very late anyway. And do you have any other employment experience? APPLICANT: Yes, I have worked at a few other places. I was the baseball coach at Ridgemont High School last season. EMPLOYER: I see. And do you have any other experience that you would like us to note on your application? APPLICANT: Yes. Last year I worked at the beach as a rescue diver. EMPLOYER: Rescue diver? That sounds intense! APPLICANT: Well, it’s really just like being a lifeguard, except in the ocean instead of a pool. So kind of like being a lifeguard at the world’s largest pool. EMPLOYER: Haha. I see.EMPLOYER: So could you tell me about the relevant skills you have? I’m guessing a lot, given your experience. APPLICANT: I am CPR certified and have 2 years of diving experience. EMPLOYER: Great! It sounds like you are well qualified for this position. When does your CPR certification expire? APPLICANT: Hm. I think in November, but let me quickly check my CPR card.. .actually, it expires in October. EMPLOYER: Okay, so regardless you have it through the end of the summer. When is your ideal time to work? APPLICANT: Since I work in the restaurant on weeknights, I like weekends best - specifically Saturday mornings. EMPLOYER: I see. We do already have a lot of staff available on Saturdays, but I do need an early morning shift lifeguard. How early could you work Saturday morning? APPLICANT: I can get there by 6.00 if need be. EMPLOYER: You’ll be happy to know we open a little later than that, but I’ll put you down for Saturday mornings here. APPLICANT: Oh awesome! I can’t wait to get started. EMPLOYER: How about you come in next Saturday, the 12th? APPLICANT: That sounds good. EMPLOYER: Great - we can figure out other shifts for you to work when you come in then. One last thing - just out of curiosity, where did you hear about us? APPLICANT: I heard your ad on the radio while I was driving this morning. EMPLOYER: You know, I think you’re the first person who has responded to our radio ads. It’s almost alwayspeople who have seen us in the newspaper. APPLICANT: Yeah, I don’t have time to read through the newspaper every morning. I have plenty of time in the car to listen to radio ads. EMPLOYER: That makes sense.

南美旅游业发达,Paul就带领游客游览火山附近的景观。

女教师问Paul从中学到了什么(What do you think you learned from your experi- ence?),do you think在此是插入句。

女教师认为Paul的经历给他提供了一个绝佳的机会去了解社区生活(It must have been a great opportunity to examine community life)。

剑桥雅思4听力真题和答案Today we’re going to look at one of my favourite fish-the shark. As you know, sharks have a reputation for being very dangerous creatures capabie of injuring or killing humans, and I’d like to taik about sharks in Australia.Sharks are rather large fish, aften growing to over ten metres and the longest sharks caught in Australia have reached sixteen metres. Sharks vary in weight with size and breed, of course, but the heaviest shark caught in Australia was a White Pointer -that, this article is from taokaoya website, weighed seven hundred and ninety-five kilograms-quite a sizel Sharks have a different structure to most fish: instead of a skeleton made of bone, they have a tough elastic skeleton of cartilage. Unlike bone, this firm, pliable material is rather like your nose, and allows the shark to bend easlly as it swims. The shark’s skin isn’t covered with scales, like other fish: instead the skin’s covered with barbs, giving it a rough texture like saridpaper. As you know, sharks are very quick swimners. This is made possible by their fins, one set at the side and another set undemeath the body, and the tail also helps the shark move forward quicklyQ31 Q32.Unlike other fish, sharks have to keep swimming if they want to stay at a particular depth, and they rarely swim at the surface. Mostly, they swim at the bottom of the ocean, scavenging and picking up food that’s lying on the ocean floor While most other animals, including fish, hunt their prey by means of their eyesight, sharks hunt essentially by smell. They have a very acute sense of smell-and can sense the presence of food long before they can see it. Q33 Q34.In Australia, where people spend a lot of time at the beach, the government has realised that it must prevent sharks from swimming near its beaches. As a result, they’ve introduced a beach-netting program. Beach-netting, or meshing, invoives setting large nets parallel to the shore; this means that the nets on New South Wales beaches are set on one day, and then lifted and taken out to sea on the next day. When shark-netting first began in 1939, only the Sydney metropolitan beaches were meshed -these beaches were chosen because beaches near the city are usually the most crowded with swimmers. fen years later, in 1949,systematic meshing was extended to include the beaches to the south of Sydney. As a result of the general success of the program inSydney,shark-meshing was introduced to the state of Queensland around 1970.The New Zealand authorities also looked at it, but considered meshing uneconomical-as did Tahiti in the Pacific. At around the same time. South Africa introduced meshing to some of its most popular swimming beaches. Q35 Q36.When meshing began, approximately fifteen hundred sharks were caught in the first year. However, this declined in the years that followed, and since that time, the average annual catch has been only about a hundred and fifty a vear. The majority of sharks are caught during the warmest months from November to February, when sharks are most active and when both the air and the ocean are at their maximum temperatureQ37 Q38.Despite quite large catches, some people belleve that shark meshing is nat the best way to catch sharks. it’s not that they think sharks are afraid of nets. or because they eat holes in them, because neither af these is true. But meshing does appear to be less effective than some other methods. especlally when there are big seas with high roling waves and strong currents and anything that lers the sand move-the sand that’s holding the nets down. When this moves the nets willalso become less effective.Q39 Q40.31.79532.t ail 尾巴33.33.floor 地面34.s ense of smell 嗅觉35.A36.A37.B38.B39-40.BE。

Come in. How are you settling in next door? Have all your things from Canada arrived yet? I thought I saw a removals van outside your house yesterday afternoon.MRS SUTTON: Yes. They came yesterday. We spent all day yesterday arranging them. It’s beginning to feel a bit more like home now.MRS SMITH: That’s good. Look, come in and sit down. Are you alright? You look a bit worried.MRS SUTTON: Well, I am a bit. I’m sorry to bother you so early, Mrs Smith, but I wonder if you could help me. Could you tell me how I can get hold of a doctor? Our daughter, Anna, isn’t very well this morning and I may have Q11 to call somebody out. She keeps being sick and I am beginning to get a bit worried. I just don’t know how the health system works here in England. All I know is that it’s very different from ours back in Canada.MRS SMITH: Well, I don’t know really where to start. Let me think. Well, the first thing you have to do is find a family doctor sometimes we call them general practitioners as well - and register with him or her. If you live here, you’ve got to be on a doctor’s list. If you’re not, things can be a bit difficult. Nobody will come out to you if you’re not registered. Anyway, they work Q12 in things called practices. Sort of small groups of family doctors all working together in the same building. Now what you’ve got to do this morning is register with one of them. There are two practices near here, so we’re quite well off for doctors in this part of Manchester. There’s the Dean End Health Centre about ten minutes’ walk away and there’s another practice in South Hay. That’s about five minutes away going towards the town centre. We’re registered at the Dean End one, but they’re both OK. There are about six doctors in Q13 our practice and four in the other. So ours is quite big in comparison. Q14 And the building and everything’s a bit more modern. South Hay is a bit old-fashioned but the doctors are OK. Their only problem is that they Q15 don’t have a proper appointment system. Sometimes you have to wait for ages there to see someone. Anyway, you go to the receptionist in whichever health centre and ask her to register you with a doctor there. You have to fill in a form, but it doesn’t take long. Ours is called Dr Jones and we’ve been going to him for years - ever since we moved here fifteen years ago. I wouldn’t say he’s brilliant but I suppose he’s alright really. We’re used to him now. They say Q16 he’s very good with elderly people, but he does tend to get a bit impatient with children. Listen, the one who’s supposed to be really good with small children is Dr Shaw. I’ve heard lots of people say that. She’s young and she’s got small children of her own. So you could try registering with her. And if her list is full,I heard somebody say the other day that there’s a really nice young doctor at South Hay, a Dr Williams. He holds special Q17 clinics for people with back trouble. But that’s not really your problem, is it?MRS SMITH: If you want a doctor to visit you at home, you have to ask for a home visit. You’re supposed to do that before 10.30 in the morning, but obviously, if it’s an emergency, you can phone at any time, night or day. It might not be your doctor that comes, though. It’s quite often one of the other doctors in the practice. It doesn’t really seem to make much difference. Otherwise you make an appointment to see your doctor at the health centre. You usually get seen the same day. Not always of course, but usually, as I say. They hold surgeries between 9 and 11.30 every weekday, Q18 and from 4 to 6.30 Monday to Thursday. Saturdays are only for emergencies. When the doctor sees you, he gives you a prescription. He writes what medication you need on it and you take it to a chemist’s shop. There’s one opposite the centre. If it’s for a child under 16, you don’t have to pay. So if it’s for Anna, there’s no problem. The same thing goes if you’re unemployed or retired, Q19 or if you’re pregnant. Just as well because it’s not cheap. You pay the same price for each item the doctor has prescribed. At the moment it’s Q20 something like ￡5 per item. So you pay for the medication but the consultation with the doctor doesn’t cost you anything. It’s completely free as long as you’re a resident here. You’re going to be here for three years, aren’t you? So there shouldn’t be any question of you paying anything to see the doctor. So that’s one less problem to worry about. Look, Mrs Sutton. If you want, I’ll sit with your daughter for half an hour if you want to go down to the health centre to register. It’s no trouble really, don’t worry.MRS SUTTON: Are you sure you wouldn’t mind? That would really help me a lot. I’ll ask them if they can send someone round later to see Anna. I think I’ll try the Dean End Centre.MRS SMITH: Good idea. Don’t worry about Anna.MRS SUTTON: Right. I’ll be back as soon as I can.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11 and 12Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.11．Who is Mrs Sutton worried about?正确答案：(her) daughter (Anna)12．What is the name for a group of family doctors working in the same building together?正确答案：(a) practiceQuestions 13-17Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS OR A NUMBER for each answer.13．【13】正确答案：(about) 614．【14】正确答案：(about) 415．【15】正确答案：better16．【16】正确答案：elderly17．【17】正确答案：back problems/troubleQuestions 18-20Question 18Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR A NUMBER.Doctors start seeing patients at the Health Centre from 【18】______ o’clock.18．【18】正确答案：nine/9 o’clock19．Question 19Choose TWO letters A-E.Which TWO groups of patients receive free medication?[A]people over 17 years old[B]unemployed people[C]non-UK residents[D]people over 60 years old[E]pregnant women正确答案：B/E20．Question 20Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS OR A NUMBER.The charge for one item of medication is about ￡【20】______正确答案：(￡) 5听力原文：TUTOR: Hello.

Paula...PAULA CLAYBURG: Do you know what Prince Charles, Seve Ballesteros and Elizabeth Taylor have in common? They all suffer from chronic back pain. In fact, bad backs are one of the most common health problems today, affecting people in all walks of life. The most recent available figures show that about a quarter of a million people are incapacitated with 【Q31】back pain every day. And many sufferers don’t know the cause or the solution to their problem. The majority of our patients at the clinic tend to be women. They are especially vulnerable because of pregnancy but also because of osteoporosis, which I personally believe to be the major cause of problems for women. I have many women patients who say they have 【Q32】completely given up exercise because the pain makes them so miserable. But of course that starts up a vicious circle. Bedrest, giving up exercise and pain killers are traditional responses to back pain but, although there are many excellent drugs on the market, at our clinic we are beginning to realise the unique benefits of relaxation therapy. Other 【Q33】specialists in the field make a strong case for certain types of exercise, but in our experience they are easily mishandled and can lead to more harm than good. Now, let’s look at some of the reasons why back pain is developing into such a unique menace. In general, the body is pretty good at self- repair. A strain or a blow to a limb, though painful at the time, generally resolves itself. But the body’s response to back injury can be very counter-productive. When pain strikes, we attempt to keep the 【Q34】back as immobile as possible, which makes the muscles tense up. Research shows that they often go into spasm, which causes further twisting of the spine. A vicious circle is underway. The second mistake we often make when stricken with extreme back pain is to go to bed and stay there. Although at the clinic we recognise that a short rest in bed can be helpful.., up to two days.., any longer 【Q35】makes our back muscles become weaker and unable to hold up our spine. The pain therefore becomes worse. Another problem is being overweight. Anyone a stone or more over- 【Q36】weight who already has back pain is not doing himself any favours: though it won’t actually set it off in the first place, the weight will increase the strain and make things worse. The British diet could be partially to blame for the increase in back pain: over the last ten years the average weight of men has risen by 11 lbs and of women by 9 lbs. So much for the causes and aggravations of pain. But what can WE do to help? There are many ways in which simple day-to-day care can make all the difference. The first point to watch of course is weight. If you are overweight, a diet will make all the difference. Also, studies have shown that just one hour sitting in a slouched position can strain ligaments in the back which can take months to heal. At the clinic we have come to the conclusion that the major cause of the problem is not with the design of chairs, as some have suggested, but in the way WE sit in them. It can be useful to get special orthopaedic 【Q37】chairs, but remember the most important improvement should be in OUR posture. Another enemy of your back is, of course, your beds. If your bed doesn’t give enough support, back muscles and ligaments work all night trying to correct spinal alignment, so you wake up with a tired aching back. Try out an orthopaedic mattress or a spring slatted bed. Research shows that both can be beneficial for certain types of back pain. Another hazard for your back are the shock waves which travel up your spine when you walk, known as heel strike. A real find for our patients has been the shock-absorbing shoe insert. A cheap but very 【Q38】effective solution. And you might be better off avoiding shoes with heels higher than 1 1/2A inches. Though absolutely flat shoes can be a solution for some, others find their posture suffers. 【Q39】Finally a word about the state-of-the-art relief - the TENS machine - a small battery-powered gadget which delivers subliminal electrical pulses to the skin.

Now you have some time to look at Questions 11-16. Now listen, and answer Questions 11-16.Presenter: Welcome to Camber’s Park podcast. In the next few minutes, I’ll tell you a little about the park and the amazing things we have to offer.We like to think that Camber’s offers more than other theme parks. Like them, we have a variety of exciting rides for people of all ages, but Camber’s also places strong emphasis on the educational experience for its visitors... not boring facts but lots of interactive exhibits. Although it’s mainly an outdoor experience, we do have some indoor activities if the weather gets too dreadful.The park’s got a lovely well established feel, set in eighty acres of beautiful countryside about three miles south of the tourist resort of Dulchester. The park was set up in nineteen ninety seven by the Camber family but then taken over by new owners in two thousand and four, who have maintained the original vision of the Cambers. It has lots of old trees, hundreds of flower beds and a gorgeous lake.Camber’s has over forty- five different rides, exhibits and arcades. All but one of these is free once you have paid your entrance fee(we charge a small fee for our newest ride, to reduce the length of the queues). You don’t pay anything forparking. A family ticket—for a family of four—works out at about eight pounds per person, which is amazing value. Full details of current prices are shownon our website, along with full details of rides, etc., and directions for getting to us.We also have a number of special offers. For example, if you live locally, why not join our Adventurers’Club, which entitles you fifty percent off ticket prices all year round, and a special ‘lane’ for all rides and exhibits which means you don’t have to wait to get into any part of the park. See the Offers tab on the website.We’ve recently added a number of new exhibits to the park, and we’re particularly proud of our Future Farm Zone, which houses over twenty different species of animals, from chipmunks to dairy cows. The emphasis is on getting near to the animals—all of them can be petted and you can buy food for feeding the animals. Many of our younger visitors say that this is the high point of their visit!And speaking of food, don’t let the animals have all the fun. We have a total of seven different catering outlets on the site. We’re open ten to five thirty all year round and cold drinks and snacks can be bought at any time during opening hours. And hot food is available most of the day in the Hungry Horse cafe—from eleven until five—just half an hour before closing time.Narrator: Now you have some time to look at Questions 17-20. Now listen and answer Questions 17-20.Presenter: Now we want all our visitors to have an exciting time when they come to the park but our first priority must be safety. Parents and guardians know their children’s behaviour and capabilities. But here at the park we have set certain conditions for each of the rides to ensure that all visitors get the maximum enjoyment out of the experience and feel secure at all times. There are four major rides at the park. Our newest ride is the River Adventure which is designed to reproduce the experience of white-water rafting. No amount of protective clothing would make any difference so only go on this ride if you’re prepared to get wet! Children under eight can go on this ride, but all under sixteens must have an adult with them.Not all of our rides are designed for thrills and spills. Our Jungle Jim rollercoaster is a gentler version of the classic loop the loop, specially created for whole family enjoyment—from the smallest children to elderly grandparents, suitable for all levels of disability and health conditions. Carriages have comfortable seating for up to eight people, with safety belts for each passenger which must be worn at all times. Sit back and enjoy the scenery!One of the best established and most popular of Camber’s rides is the massive Swoop Slide. Whizz down the polished vertical slide nine metres in height and scream to your heart’s content. There are no age or height restrictions. Be careful though—you must have on long trousers so you won’t get any speed burns!And then there’s the famous Zip Go-kart stadium with sixteen carts: eight for single drivers and eight for kids preferring to ride along with mum, dad or carer. Take part in high-speed races in our specially designed Formula One-style karts—but no bumping other karts, please. All riders must be above one point two metres because they have to be able to reach the pedals... even in the shared karts.Full details of all safety features are available on our website at .So come and make a day of it at Camber’s Theme Park!Choose the correct answer, A, B or C.Camber’s Theme Park11．According to the speaker, in what way is Camber’s different from other theme parks?A．It’s suitable for different age groups.B．It offers lots to do in wet weather.C．It has a focus on education.正确答案：C12．The Park first opened inA．1980.B．1997.C．2004.正确答案：B13．What’s included in the entrance fee?A．most rides and parkingB．all rides and some exhibitsC．parking and all rides正确答案：A14．Becoming a member of the Adventurers Club meansA．you can avoid queuing so much.B．you can enter the park free for a year.C．you can visit certain zones closed to other people.正确答案：A15．The Future Farm zone encourages visitors toA．buy animals as pets.B．learn about the care of animals.C．get close to the animals.正确答案：C16．When is hot food available in the park?A．10:00 am-5:30 pmB．11:00 am-5:00 pmC．10:30 am-5:00 pm正确答案：BWhat special conditions apply to the following rides?Choose FOUR answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-F, next to the questions 17-20.Special conditions for visitorsA Must be over a certain ageB Must use special safety equipmentC Must avoid it if they have health problemsD Must wear a particular type of clothingE Must be over a certain heightF Must be accompanied by an adult if under 16Rides17．River Adventure______正确答案：F18．Jungle Jim Rollercoaster______正确答案：B19．Swoop Slide______正确答案：D20．Zip Go-carts______正确答案：E听力原文：Narrator: You will hear two business studies students discussing a presentation they’ll do on an article on working effectively in groups. First you have some time to look at Questions 21-26. Now listen, and answer Questions 21-26.Helen: So, Brad, what did you think of the article on group work?Brad: Oh hi, Helen ... yeah it was pretty good ... with helpful pieces of advice on how to make group work effective.Helen: I think we were lucky to be given such a straightforward text to present at the management skills seminar.Brad: Yeah ... actually shall we discuss it now ... have you got time?Helen: Sure ... it’s only a ten-minute presentation, so we just need to explain and then give our views on the main points raised in the article.Brad: I’ll jot down some notes ... Right.Helen: So, there are three main sections.I suggest we start with listening.Brad: Yeah ... effective listening in groups... because it’s not something that’s frequently covered on courses in our field ...Helen: No ... and we should say that in the presentation.Brad: Yeah ... And also effective listening’s pretty simple, you know, I don’t think it’s hard to learn.Helen: Well ... people think it’s easy, but in my experience most of us tend to be very lazy listeners.Brad: OK—I wouldn’t argue with that.Helen: Something I do think we should emphasise is the power of the listener’s posture, gestures, etc. in making speakers feel respected.Brad:... not that you’re just waiting for them to finish... before jumping in with your own ideas ...Helen: Ah ha.Brad: OK. Right... the next section is on goal setting—let’s make sure we’re clear what the article says on this.Helen: Yeah—well, firstly it savsthat all group members must be given time to explain their own goals.Brad: ... that’s it, yeah.Helen: ... and then did it say that the whole group should agree on common goals?Brad: That’s a bit too strong. It’s more that everyone’s agendas should be equally acceptable ... but it does say that goals have to be realistic, you know ...Helen: ... achievable within a particular time?Brad: You’ve got it. That’s really what the article’s saying. There isn’t really any point in having ‘ideals’ if group members know they won’t come to anything within a reasonable period ... So (I)think a summary covering those points will be enough for that part of the presentation, don’t you?Helen: Yep ... Now the last section is about conflict resolution.Brad: Actually, I thought it was the worst part of the article.Helen: Me too ...Brad: I don’t think it went into sufficient detail on the issue.Helen: Actually I thought it devoted too much space to it but that it was all rather boring, you know ...Brad: It didn’t mention some of the more radical theoriesHelen: Absolutely ...I found that really irritating. Brad: Right... and also I think it could have said more about conflict sometimes being healthy in groups... Helen: Absolutely ... it just mentioned rather glibly about how we should avoid thinking of winners and losers and that quick resolution of conflict is always desirable. Brad: Without explaining what these terms mean ... ? Helen: Well, it gives quite detailed definitions but doesn’t develop a proper argument.Brad: Right... So for the presentation, I think we just give some definitions and ...Helen: ... and then explain what we felt were the weaknesses in the article’s treatment of conflict resolution. Brad: Yeah ... good.Narrator: Now you have some time to look at Questions 27-30. Now listen and answer Questions 27-30.Brad: So, let’s think about what we have to prepare for the actual presentation.Helen: Well, I suppose we’ll use PowerPoint ... but I’m hopeless at using it, especially if it has any visuals. I really have to look into doing a course on it because I know I’ll need it in the future.Brad: Don’t worry, I’m quite happy using PowerPoint and I’ll put it together when everything else is ready.Helen: That’s a relief... but, yes, do that later.Brad: OK. Now, I heard the tutor saying we have to include some well chosen quotations from the article?Helen: I’m not sure if we do ... I’ll email him to find out.Brad: No need, I can just have a look at the specs he gave us when he set the task ...Helen: That’ll be quicker.Brad: But the tutor definitely said we have to prepare a handout to go with the talk ... I’m not really sure how we do that.Helen: Sarah did one last year...Brad: Who’s she?Helen: She’s doing the same option as me on marketing. I’ll ask her advice on what to include.Brad: Great. So that just leaves the bibliography at the end. I suppose it’ll mainly be articles.Helen: Yeah. So we’ll just look on the web ... and we can leave that till later.Brad: But we’ve been advised against that...Helen: Well, we could have a look through some journals in the library.Brad: I think we should start by looking through module handbooks. I think that’ll give us some good leads.Helen: Yeah ... you’re probably right. So, that’s all the ...Choose TWO letters, A-E.What TWO things do Brad and Helen agree to say about listening in groups?

Before you listen, you have some time to look at Questions 31-40. Now listen, and answer Questions 31-40.Lecturer: Good afternoon. This is the first of a series of lectures I’ll be giving about engineering for sustainable development. I’ll be presenting examples of engineering projects from a variety of contexts, and today I’m going to talk about a project to design a new kind of greenhouse for use in the Himalayan mountain regions.First of all, I’ll tell you about the problem which was the context for this project. In the Himalayan mountains, fresh vegetables and other crops can only be grown outside for about ninety days, during the summer, because the altitude of the region is around three thousand five hundred metres, and because the rainfall is so low. In winter, temperatures fall below minus twenty-five degrees celcius, so fresh vegetables have to be imported. They arrive by truck in summer or by air in winter, which makes them expensive. Local people rely on dried leafy vegetables and stored root crops during the winter, and rarely eat fresh vegetables.But despite the sub-zero temperatures, the skies over the region are cloudless, and there are over three hundred sunny days per year. So an engineering solution was needed, to exploit the sun’s energy and protect locally produced plants from freezing during winter. And in fact, there had been programmes in the past to provide greenhouses, but these were unsuccessful. The greenhouses weren’t adapted for local conditions, so they tended to fall into disuse.So, a few years ago, a project was initiated to design a better greenhouse, one which would meet thecriteria for sustainability.Lecturer: So, what are the criteria for sustainability? Well, first of all, the new greenhouse is designed to be relatively simple, so construction is cheap. Locally available materials are used wherever possible. The walls are generally constructed of mud bricks, made locally, although in areas of high snow-fall more resilient walls of stone are needed. Rammed earth is also used. The main roof is generally made from locally available poplar wood, with water-resistant local grass for the covering. In addition, the construction and maintenance of the greenhouse is done by local craftsmen. So local stone masons are employed to build the greenhouse walls, and specialised training is provided for them wherever necessary. Then... the greenhouse is designed to run on solar power alone, there’s no supplementary heating. And lastly, families are selected to own one of the new greenhouses with great care. They have to have a site which is suitable for constructing it on. They also have to be keen to make a success of using it, and also to share the produce with the wider community through sale or barter. Potential owners are taken to see existing greenhouses before they make a final decision about having one.So, those are the features which make the project sustainable. And now I’ll briefly describe the design of the greenhouse. The greenhouses are orientated very carefully along an East-West axis, so that there’s a long South-facing side. The transparent cover on the South-facing side is made from a heavy-duty polythene, which should last for at least five years. On the inside of the greenhouse, the walls are painted—the rear and west-facing walls are black, to improve heat absorption, but the east-facing wall is white to reflect the morning sunlight onto the crops inside. Finally, there’s a door in the wall at one end, and vents are incorporated into the roof, the door and the wall at the other end, to enable control of humidity and prevent overheating.I’ll turn now to the benefits which have resulted from the introduction of these new greenhouses. These benefits are of various kinds, but for now I’ll just mention the social benefits.First of all, people who own a greenhouse gain social standing in their communities, because they provide vegetables for the wider community, for regular consumption as well as for festivals, and they also earn income. Secondly, because in rural areas it is women who usually grow the food, the greenhouses have increased their opportunities. They bring the benefits of improved nutrition, and increased family income, from the sale of surplus produce. And thirdly, as a result of their improved financial position, some families can now afford to educate their children for the first time.Complete the notes below.Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer.
