you get to the university?mwmi arrived yesterday.well... are you living in the college?no, i am with an english family...actually...because i want to improve my speaking.wmwoh, fine. right, did you take a language proficiency test before you came?yes. uhh...my overall band is 6, but...unfortunately my speaking is only 5.ok, you know, here in this university, you have to take our own english test before you attend any lectures. so, first of all, what we've got to do is, we have to make an arrangement for the test date. umm...will tomorrow be all right for you?mwyeah, i have time tomorrow morning.good, then. tomorrow at ten. i don't think the test will be any problem for you. now, let's make sure you make full use of your time here. let's put it like this. what exactly do you want to accomplish in the next 12 months?mi'm interested in computer language translation, i mean, from english to chinese and chinese to english. i'll try, if possible, to produce a software or a device which can serve as an interpreter.wmyes, could you be a bit more specific about...er...the device?for instance, when, you talk to the device in english it will translate your words into chinese and vice versa.wmwmwuhuh...do you mean it'll be as competent as...er... a human interpreter?yes... well, i'll let it deal with general situations, at least.fascinating... and how big will the device itself be, do you think?the size of a cigarette pack, i think. so people can put it in their pocket.really. well, that could be a ph. d project. tell me what you have done so far.in my four years of undergraduate study, i studied electronics, advancedmmathematics, hardware designing, some computer languages and program writing.yes, but have you done anypractical jobs? i mean, have you written anywprograms for practical use?i was involved in a project for cad in a shipyard.mwthe computer aided design. that was probably agood experience, but, unfortunately, it may not help your present project much. are you familiar with c-language?no.mwuhuh... the phonetic processing system, do you know how such a system works?what do you mean by "phonetic processing system?"mwwell, you know, english is spoken by different people with different accents. your english accent is different from mine, and of course mine is not the same as my colleagues'. so as i see it, your device would have to be able to recognise and understand different accents.oh, i see. i think i can learn c-language and a phonetic processing systemmhere.well, that's probably true, but you've got only 12 months and you want awdegree, don't you?yes.mwok, so there're two ways of studying for a degree here. you either take six courses, pass their exams and have your dissertation accepted or the other way is you do some research work and submit your project report.mwmwi think i'll take the second way.fine, but are you sure you can finish your project in 12 months?i don't know, but i can work 12 hours a day and 7 days a week.well, i'd suggest you spend some time in our library, trying to find out what other students have done before and perhaps re-consider your own project, to some extent. you might narrow your research area, concentrating on solvingone or two major problems. and, it'd be a good idea to talk to your colleagues in the lab, first. anyway, i'm sure we can work out something good. shall i see you again in three days' time?all right. i'll go away and do some thinking. then i'll talk to you about mymnew plan.good. see you then.wmthank you. bye-bye.you now have 20 seconds to check your answers to questions 1 - 10.that is the end of part apart b: you will hear 3 conversations or talks and you must answer the questions by choosing a, b, c or d. you will hear the recording only once.questions 1 - 3 are based on the following talk. you now have 15 seconds to read questions 1 - 3.1. what does the speaker suggest that the students should do during the term?[a] consult with her frequently.[b] use the computer regularly.[c] occupy the computer early.[d] wait for one's turn patiently.2. what service must be paid for?[a] computer classes.[b] training sessions.[c] laser printing.[d] package borrowing.3. what is the talk mainly about?[a] computer lab services.[b] college library facilities.[c] the use of micro-computers.[d] printouts from the laser printer.tapescriptright, everybody. welcome to central college library services. my name's kathy jenkins. i'll give you a brief introduction to the library. we have a well-stocked bank of resources which are in three main locations: the library itself, with books and periodicals; the self-access language centre, with audio and video material; and the micro-computer lab. i'll start with the micro-computer lab, or micro-lab as we call it. it is fitted with 24 personal computers.if you are a member of the library, you may borrow call discs in french, german, italian, spanish and russian as well as english. by the way, call stands for computer aided language learning: c a double l, "call", for short. you may also borrow a range of word processing and desktop publishing packages. all disks are, of course, strictly for use in the micro-lab only. if you wish to print anything you should use one of the five machines around the outside of the room. four are connected to dot matrix printers, one is connected to the laser printer. if you want a top quality printout from the laser printer, come and see myself or any of the library staff. dot-matrix printouts are free but there is a charge for using the laser printer.there is always a queue to get to the terminals towardsthe end of term. come in and get to know how to use the computers early in the term and use them regularly, rather than just before exams and essay deadlines, in order to avoid delay or disappointment. training sessions are held on a regular basis, on the first and third thursday of each month, and are free to full-time students of the college. see you there. now, any questions?you now have 30 seconds to check your answers to questions 1 - 3.part c you will hear a talk given by a university lecturer. as you listen, you must answer questions 1 -10 by writing no more than three words in the space provided on the right. you will hear the talk twice.you now have 60 seconds to read questions 1 to 10.1. what's the average annual increase of foreign student population in the period between 1985 and 1990 in terms of percentage?2. which part of the world contributed to an increase between 94/95 and 95/96?3. when will the speaker talk about the economic and political changes?4. what will the speaker discuss first?5. where do the three largest groups of students come from?6. what's the number of students from malaysia?7. which is the most popular field of study?8. what'sthe percentage of students in business and management?9. in terms of academic levels, in which level do we find the smallest number?10. in summary, what did the speaker talk about?tapescriptfor those of you who are either already studying in the united states or plan to one day, it might be interesting to know something about the foreign student population in the united states. for the academic year 1995/96 there was a total of approximately 344,000 foreign students studying in the united states. this figure of 344,000 may seem like a very large number until you compare it with the total population of 241,000,000. the foreign student population has been growing for a number of years and is still growing, but the rate of increase has dropped sharply during the 1990s. during the 1980s, the population grew quite rapidly. for example, between 1985 and 1990, the average yearly increase was 12.5%. however, the picture in the 1990s is quite different. the rate of increase has declined quite noticeably. in fact, the rate of increase between 1994/95 and 1995/96 was only .5%, or one-half of one percent. although the overall rate of increase has dropped to only .5%, the number of students from some parts of the world is increasing while the number of studentsfrom other areas is decreasing. for example, during this same time period, that is between the academic years 94/95 and 95/96, there was a decrease in the number of students from the middle east, while the number of students from south and east asia increased. these changes in the number of students coming from different parts of the world no doubt reflected changing economic and political situations. i'm sure you are aware of many of these changes, and perhaps we can discuss them at our next meeting. for today let's confine our talk to first, a discussion of the origin of these students, or, in other words, where they come from; second, the kinds of studies they pursue; and, finally, the academic levels they are found in. if we have a little time left, we might quickly discuss in which geographic areas most of them go to school.let's discuss the origins of the foreign student population in the united states for the academic year 1995/96. let's discuss it in order from those areas sending the most students to those areas sending the fewest students. if we look at the figures provided by the annual census of foreign students in the united states for the year 1995/96, we see that most of the foreign students studying in the united states during this year were from south and east asia. this is a rather largegeographical area which includes such countries as china, korea, pakistan, india, malaysia, and indonesia. the total number of students from this area, south and east asia was 156,830. in other words, roughly 2 out of every 5 foreign students come from south and east asia. almost 24,000 of this total were from china. malaysia was close behind with just a little over 23,000 students. the next largest number of students came from the middle east. the number of students from the middle east came to about one-third the number from south and east asia. the fourth largest number came from south america. next came europe, africa, north america, and oceania. let's recapitulate what we've said. the largest number of students studying in the united states during the academic year 1995/96 were from south and east asia, followed by the middle east, south america, europe, africa, north america, and oceania.what fields are these large numbers of foreign students studying in? it probably won't surprise you to learn that the largest number are in the field of engineering. in fact, 21.7% of the total number are studying engineering. business and management is close behind, however, with a total of 18.9%.the third most popular field was mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3%. as you can see, engineering with 21.7%, business and management with 18.9%, and mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3% comprise about one half of the total number of foreign students.let's talk about which academic levels these students can be found in. foreign students can be found studying at all levels of higher education. as you might expect, the greatest number of them are studying at the undergraduate level ? approximately 158,000. the second largest group study at the graduate level and that number is just under 122,000. the rest study at junior colleges or in non-degree programs. it is at the graduate level that foreign students have the most impact. while foreign students comprise only 2.7% of the total u.s. student population, they account for 8.7% of all the graduate students studying at u. s. institutions. let me give you those percentages again so you can get a better feel for the overall picture. foreign students make up only 2.75 of the total u. s. student population, but they make up 8.7% of the total graduate student population.well, i see that's all the time we have today. we'll have to leave discussions of the geographic areas these students studyin until another time.now you are going to hear the talk a second time.repeat the textyou now have 3 minutes to check your answers to questions 1 - 10.that is the end of part c. you now

Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1As long as her parents can remember, 13-year-old Katie Hart has been talking about going to college.Her mother, Tally, a financial-aid officer at a California University, knows all too well the daunting thing of paying for a college education. Last year the average yearly tuition at a private, four-year school climbed 5.5 percent to more than $17, 000. The Harts have started saving, and figure they can afford a public university without a problem. But what if Katie applies to Princeton ( she' s threatening), where one year' s tuition, room and board-almost $ 34, 000 in 2023-will cost more than some luxury cars? Even a number cruncher like Tally admits it' s a little scary,especially since she' 11 retire and Katie will go to college at around the same time.The best way to prepare is to start saving early.A new law passed last year makes that easier for some families. So-called 529 plans allow parents to sock away funds in federal-tax-free-investment accounts, as long as the money is used for “qualified educaion expenses” like tuition, room and board. The plans aren' t for everyone. For tax reasons, some lower and middle ine families may be better off choosing other investments. But saving is vital.When' s the best time to start? “Sometime, ” says Jack Joyce of the College Board, “between the maternity ward and middle school. ”Aid packages usually e in some bination of grants, loans and jobs. These days 60 percent of all aid es in the form of low-interest loans. All students are eligible for “unsubsidized” federal Stafford loans, which let them defer interest payments until after graduation. Students who can demonstrate need can also qualify for federal Perkins loans or “subsidized”Staffords, where the gover____ent pays the interest during school. Fortunately, this is a borrower' s market. “Interest rates are at their lowest level in the history of student loans, ” says Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Finaid. Kantrowitz expects rates to fall even further when they' re reviewed this summer.Traditional scholarships, academic or athletic, are still a part of many families' planning.

I wanted to save it, but my cursor had frozen. I tried to shut the puter down,andit seized up altogether. Unsure of what else to do, I yanked (用力猛拉) the battery out:Unfortunately, Windows had been in the midst of a delicate and crucial undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my puter back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and Windows would not load.Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup CD.“My puter is telling me a file is corrupted andit wants to fix itself, but I don' t have the Windows Setup CD. ”It quickly became clear that the woman was not a puter technician. Her job was to serve as a gatekeeper, a human shield for the technicians. Her sole duty, as far as I could tell, was to raise global stress levels.To make me disappear, the woman:gave me the phone number for Windows' creator, Microsoft. This is like giving someone the phone number for, I don' t know, North America. Besides, the CD worked; I just didn't have it. No matter how many times I repeated my story, we came back to the same place. She was calm and resolutely polite.When my voice hit a certain decibel (分贝), I was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician.“You don' t have the Windows Setup CD, ma' am, because you don' t need it, ” he explained cheerfully.“Windows came preinstalled on your puter!”“But I do need it. ”“Yes, but you don't have it. ” We went on like this for a while. ,Finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different CD, one that would erase my entire system. “Of course, you' d lose all your e-mail, your documents, your photos. ” It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache. “You might be able to recover the m, but it would be expensive. ” He sounded delighted. “And it' s not coveted by the warranty ( 产品保证书) !” The safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full.56.

It can be inferred from the passage that the differences between the Global Support Centre and the local repair shop lie in all the following EXCEPTA.efficiencyB. locationC. Setup CDsD. attitudeText 3Women' s minds work differently from men' s. At least, that is what most men are convinced of. Psychologists view the subject either as a matter or frustration or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this minefield, and some of them have found that there are real differences between the brains of men and women. But being different, they point out hurriedly, is not the same as being better or worse.There is, however, a definite structural variation between the male and female brain. The difference isin a part of the brain that is used in the most plex intellectual processes-the link between the two halves of the brain.Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions, and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together. For most people, the left half is used for wordhanding, analytical and logical activities; the right half works on pictures, patterns and forms. We need both halves working together. And the better the connections, the more harmoniously the two halves work. And, according to research findings, women have the better connections.We shah' t know for a while, partly because wedon' t know of any precise relationship between abilities in school subject and the functioning of the two halves of the brain, and we cannot understand how the two halves inter-act via the corpus callosum. But this striking difference must have some effect and, because the difference is in the parts of the brain involved in intellect, we should be looking for differences in intellectual processing.61. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?A. Biologists are conducting research where psychologists have given up.B. Brain differences point to superiority of one sex over the other.C. Results of scientific research fail to support popular belief.D. The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known.62.

What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To outline the research findings on the brain structure.B. To explain the link between sex and brain structure.C. To. discuss the various factors that causebrain differences.D.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper thanthe one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!46 A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy48.

With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.51. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader’s concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC. To summarize the whole passageD. To sate the primary uses of TV52. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______.A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap53. Why are some people against TV?A. Because TV programs re not interestingB. Because TV viewers are totally passiveC. Because TV prices are very high.D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages54. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______.A. it keeps us informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives55. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .A. its qualityB. people ’s attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use it。
