Expert FaizaMoss is with us in the studio to tell us more.V2 Thank you. I noticed that you called the pomegranate an “unusual” fruit; actually it has been around since ancient times and is now grown all over the world.V1 Where were pomegranates first grown, Faiza?V2 Originally they were grown in the area which is now modern day Iran and Iraq. Then they were carried along the silk route by traders as far as China – in fact there are still thriving pomegranate orchards in Xian, the old Chinese capital.V1 Did the popularity of pomegranates stop there?V2 No, they were then grown all around the Mediterranean, further East and eventually in all sunny climates. Recently, Afghanistan has held a pomegranate celebration: it exported 50,000 tonnes of the fruit in 2008, rising to 80,000 tonnes in 2009 and that quantity is still increasing.V1 You can buy the juice from the new Kabul factory in shops all around the world now, you know.V2 Yes, that 6-million-pound factory opened in October 2009. It was designed specifically to produce pomegranate juice – and very successfully too!V1 This interest in pomegranates must be good news for the farmers.V2 Yes it is. Did you know that when their fruits were first exported farmers received 34 pence per kg but now they are earning over £1 per kg?V1 Why is that? Is it because consumers are now more aware of the health benefits of drinking the juice?V2 Yes, in the UK alone the market for pomegranate juice has increased to £21 million each year.The juice is lovely but expensive – look out for special offers!V1 I know. I do. I’ve even tried extracting my own juice but it’s not easy because of all the pomegranate seeds.V2 That’s why farmers are trying to develop a seedless variety of pomegranate because of the demand for seedless fruit to make juice from; it is thought that fruit without seeds will become very popular with consumers worldwide.V1 Pomegranates are prized for their wonderful health-giving properties, aren’t they?The juice is meant to help prevent heart disease isn’t it?V2 Yes, scientists have found that pomegranate juice is high in antioxidants which protect the body from bad chemicals in the blood. It is thought that pomegranate juice may contain three times the amount of antioxidants found in green tea!V1 Wow! That makes pomegranates the new super food!**Pause 00’30’’R1 Now you will hear the interview again.Repeat from * to **Pause 00’30”R1 That is the end of Question 8.

Now look at the questions for this part of the exam.Pause 00’35”TRACK 5R1 Question 9Listen to the following interview about the Nobel Peace Prize, and then answer the questions below. You will hear the interview twice.*V1 Hello and welcome to our special programme today. Mrs Edith Maruza is here to talk to us about the Nobel Peace Prize. Edith, I understand you have just written a book about the history of the Nobel Peace Prize.V2 Yes, I have.V1 Perhaps you could tell us a little about what a Nobel Prize is.V2 Very well. A Nobel Prize is an international award managed by the Nobel Foundation in Sweden.Since 1901, the prizes have been awarded to men and women from all corners of the world for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and for work in peace.V1 What does a prize consist of?V2 Well, each prize consists of a medal, personal diploma and a cash award.V1 So, how did the idea of a Nobel Prize originate?V2 The man behind the prizes is Alfred Nobel. The foundations were laid in 1895 when he wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prizes.V1 Who was Alfred Nobel?V2 Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, Sweden on 21st October 1833. H e was a chemist, an engineer and, among other things, the inventor of dynamite.V1 Really? I didn’t know that. It’s odd to think the Peace Prize was created by the person who invented dynamite. Well, tell me more about the Peace Prize.V2 The Norwegian Parliament appoints the Nobel Committee, which selects the person or organisation to be awarded the Peace Prize. Each year, the committee invites suitably qualified people to submit nominations for the prize by February 1st of the year in question. And, there’s something very unusual about these nominations.V1 Oh, what’s that?V2 The other Nobel Prizes only recognise completed scientific or literary work but the Nobel Peace Prize may be awarded to persons or organisations that are in the process of resolving conflict or creating peace. In other words, their work or project doesn’t have to be complete.V1 That is very interesting! What happens next?V2 The committee selects the winning person or organisation and the chairman of the committee presents the prize in front of the king of Norway. The ceremony takes place on 10th December each year, the anniversary of Nobel’s death.V1 Where is this ceremony held?V2 This is also very interesting. The Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize not presented in Stockholm.The ceremony is held at the Oslo City Hall in Norway. It is followed the next day by the Nobel Peace Prize concert, which is broadcast to millions of people in over 150 countries around the world.V1 Why is the concert held after the ceremony?V2 The concert raises the profile of the Peace Prize. And, of course it's a celebration.V1 Can you tell me something about some of the Nobel Peace Prize winners?V2 Among the prize winners are Amnesty International, the United Nations Children’s Fund, Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela. Frequently, the prize has been awarded for efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.V1 Thank you, Edith. We have all learnt a lot from you today.**Pause 00’30”R1 Now you will hear the interview again.Repeat from * to **Pause 00’30”R1 That is the end of Question 9. In a moment you will hear Question 10. Now look at the questions for this part of the exam.TRACK 6R1 Question 10Listen to the following talk about an archaeological discovery, and then answer the questions below. You will hear the talk twice.*V1 Good evening! I’m Serge Hermann and I’m an archaeologist. I’m here to tell you about my most recent project and new discovery. I have been working in Mexico for five years with my team of archaeologists on the trail of undiscovered dinosaur species. I have always suspected that different types of dinosaurs lived in that area of the world.Imagine my delight when, after 4 and a half years of digging, in the spring of 2012, my team unearthed the fossilised skull of a dinosaur. The dinosaur had the longest horns ever discovered;it had to be one of the new species I'd been searching for. The horns themselves were shattered but I estimate them each to have been up to 1.15 metres long. They are even longer than the horns of this dinosaur’s cousin which is the famous three-horned dinosaur called the “triceratops”.To show it’s related to triceratops we have put our new friend into this family as well.When we pieced the dinosaur skeleton together we were able to estimate its weight, about 5 tonnes; it was a huge animal! The metre-long horns would have grown directly above each of the dinosaur’s eyes. It would have used those horns for defence, to repel enemies or attackers, not for killing food. Our test results tell us that our new dinosaur ate plants not animals. Carbon dating shows that this particular dinosaur lived approximately 72 million years ago. It lived in a swamp-like area on an island continent which was situated between the Gulf of Mexico and the Arctic Sea as they were positioned at that time.Scientists are currently examining our new dinosaur and soon it will be on display in the National Museum for you to see for yourself. Do look out for it.**Pause 00’30”R1 Now you will hear the talk again.Repeat from * to **Pause 00’30”R1 That is the end of Question 10, and of the test.In a moment your teacher will collect your papers. Please check that you have written your name, Centre number and candidate number on the front of your question paper. Remember, you must not talk until all the papers have been collected.Pause 00’10”R1 Teacher, please collect all the papers.Thank you everyone.。

以下段落节选自胡适先生的«我的母亲»。

（1）每天天刚亮时，我母亲便把我喊醒，叫我披衣坐起。

我从不知道她醒来坐了多久了，她看我清醒了，便对我说昨天我做错了什么事，说错了什么话，要我认错，要我用功读书，有时侯她对我说父亲的种种好处，她说：‚你总要踏上你老子的脚步。

我一生只晓得这一个完全的人，你要学他，不要跌他的股，‛(跌股便是丢脸、出丑)她说到伤心处，往往掉下泪来，到天大明时，她才把我的衣服穿好，催我去上早学。

学堂门上的锁匙放在先生家里;我先到学堂门口一望，便跑到先生家里去敲门。

先生家里有人把锁匙从门缝里递出来，我拿了跑回去，开了门，坐下念生书，十天之中，总有八、九天我是第一个去开学堂门的。

等到先生来了，我背了生书，才回家吃早饭。

（2）我母亲管束我最严，她是慈母兼任严父。

但她从来不在别人面前骂我一句，打我一下。

我做错了事，她只对我一望，我看见了她的严厉眼光，便吓住了，犯的事小，她等到第二天早晨我睡醒时才教训我。

犯的事大，她等人静时，关了房门，先责备我，然后行罚，或罚跪，或拧我的肉，无论怎样重罚，总不许我哭出声音来，她教训儿子不是借此出气叫别人听的。

（3）有一个初秋的傍晚，我吃了晚饭，在门口玩，身上只穿着一件单背心，这时侯我母亲的妹子玉英姨母在我家住，她怕我冷了，拿了一件小衫出来叫我穿上。
