Where can I find dictionaries?M: The regular-priced ones are here, plus we have some on sale over on that table.Question: Where does this conversation probably take place?Text 5M: The temperature is supposed to reach 20 today, and go down to 12 this evening.W: Isn’t that a difference of about 8 degrees?Question: What is the evening temperature forecast?Text 6M: During the summer vacation, I hope to earn some money. How about you?W: I’m going to take an online course, so I can graduate sooner.Question: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Text 7M: Another rejection letter? Maybe I will never get a good job.W: Oh, no!Question: How does the woman feel about this man’s remark?Text 8M: Would you mind if I open the window? We need some fresh air.W: We also need to keep it quiet in here.Question: What does the woman mean?Text 9M: Every time I call the number, I get a busy signal.W: Wait an hour and try again.Question: What does the woman suggest that the man do?Text 10W: I thought you were going to drive carefully, so you wouldn’t get a traffic ticket.M: I was, but it didn’t work out that way.Question: What can we learn about the man?Part B PassagesPassage One:I work at a big city bank. I do the same thing every day. Most people hate that kind of work, but I actually like it. I can daydream, and daydream for almost 40 hours a week. Don’t misunderstand. My job isn’t always easy. Maybe it requires less concentrations than other jobs, but it requires more organization. I have to be ready for work when the bank opens at nine every day. Before opening my cage window, I put the cash in my drawer. Then I make sure that the audio system is working. After checking the machine, I sit at my window, ready for work and for daydreaming. People come and go. Most of them deposit checks or withdraw money from their savings accounts.Occasionally, customers require special help from me. At these times, I have to stop dreaming and concentrate. But usually the work is easy, automatic. Most people think the work is dull. “You must be crazy,” they say. But I’m not crazy. I’m only a dreamer. I really enjoy daydreaming.Questions:11. What does the speaker do first before the bank opens?12. According to the passage, what do most people think of the sp eaker’s job?13. Why does the speaker like the job?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following news.Passage Two:It is 7 o’clock, time for the morning news.Indonesia: Two tornadoes tore through northern Indonesia late Sunday, killing at least 40 people, injuring nearly 1 000, and leaving thousands of the homeless, officials said. The tornadoes blew away huts in dozens of farming villages, and brought down thousands of trees and electricity poles, plunging the villages into darkness.France: The number of hate crimes, mainly against Jews and against Arabs of North African origin, nearly doubled last year, to 1 565, according to a report to the government. It said 62% of the total were anti-Jewish acts. Acts against people of North African origin totaled 595 in 2004.The United Nations: Returning tourists and travelers have always had a problem with unspent coins. The handful of foreign coins is always not sufficient to buy much from the duty-free shop, and banks are usually reluctant to exchange such small sums. Last month, the United Nation’s Children’s Fund started a program called “Change for Good”. It aims to collect these coins unwanted by tourists but which may save the lives of children in developing countries.Questions:14. What is the first news item mainly about?15. Who are the main targets in the hate crimes in France?16. What will the program “Change for Good” do with the unspent coins?Part C Longer ConversationsText 1M: Regent Conference Centre.W: Hello! It’s Joanne from Addison International. I’d like to book a meeting room for our international conference.M: Certainly.

There will be a few more as well, no more than 45 though.M: OK!W: Can you give me the price? I think last time it was 675 pounds for the same room.M: We’ve made a small increase, so it should be 720. But as you are a regular customer, we are keeping the old price for now.W: Excellent. Thanks.Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.Text 2M: Boss, we can have robots make cough medicine for us.W: Robots? Why are you talking about robots? We are a small company.M: You see, we make 10 different kinds of cough medicine, but each operation only has four steps.W: How many robots do we need then?M: Four. The first robot will measure and mix the materials for the medicine;a second robot will pour the mixture into the bottles. Then a third robot will put on the labels; the last robot will pack the bottles into boxes.W: And what happens when one of the robots breaks down?M: The robot company will have a mechanic here within an hour.W:I just can’t imagine. What will we have here? A quiet building with robots rolling around doing the work ?M: That’s it ! And these robots are great workers. They won’t call in sick. They will work 24 hours a day.W: It sounds like a good idea. But what about the workers here?M: That’s what I’m wor ri ed about. We won’t need them anymore.Complete the form.

Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories?M: Okay. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I’ve been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden, so I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment. They were not wearing business clothes but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away and…. You know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day. A bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the thieves. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that.

I think the government should stop people from driving cars on certain days.W: You have a point. Air pollution is a problem, but not letting people drive on certain days is a bad idea. People have to go to work by car.M: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is r eally important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things.

Yes, of course.W: That’ll be great; it’s very kind of you.M: Come on when you like, I don’t need it until tonight.W: OK. I’ll be around in about an hour.Text 10OK, when we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and some well-known short story writers. I remembered that many of you said you liked the American writer Ernest Hemingway, right? I hope you all followed my advice and finished reading his story “A Day’s Wait”, because as I said we’re going to study it together in today’s lesson. Now, since you’re supposed to have read the story, let’s have some discussion. Please look at the four questions on the blackboard. First, when and where does the story take place? Second, what does the boy wait for in the story? And what kind of person does he show himself to be? Third, what kind of p erson is the boy’s father?

I hope that all of you can hear me，if not，please let me know. I am professor John Moss，I’ll be your teacher for the next 13 weeks. As you can probably tell this is one of the most popular and crowded classes. Indeed，every time this course is offered，this room is very full. Why is that? Well，in order to use the English language，it’s very important to have at least a basic understanding of how words are formed. Just to mention one figure and there are many. There are about 1 million words in English. If you are an English learner，you may wonder how you can possibly remember all of these words. Well，for one thing，you don’t have to. No native speaker exists who knows all of the words in the English language. Besides，there are short cuts.Short cuts? Yes，for example，if you know how words are formed by using parts of words from other languages，such as Greek and French，you’ll understand a good number of English words when you2006 年高考全国卷( I ) 听力原文(Text 1)M: How much are the tickets?W: There are 15 pounds each, but student tickets are half price.M: Could I have two students’ tickets please?(Text 2)M: Excuse me.

I looked out of a huge window, at that very moment I saw the largest truck in the world, I had to tell someone about this. I turned to my father who was standing next to about a thousand people waiting for the very flight and screamed “Track!Track!” My father tried hard to shut me up, but I was so excited, I kep t screaming my special word.

Because my husband and I both worked and our three children were busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy mealstogether every week. First we tried setting fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had the idea that everyone told his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually, though, they began to see the evenings together as interesting and helpful. We loved a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other’s problems. After a couple of months anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now we all feel than we have been able to build stronger relationships within the family that we had before.。

First let’s deal with the importance of exercise. Many people today live a kind of lazy life, sitting in the office all day and then watching TV the whole evening. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you this way of life is bad for your health. In fact it can lead to all kinds of health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure and some of the problems can result in death. Now let me talk a little about preventing illness. Probably the most important thing to bear in mind is to be active. This does not mean that you have to go out and play sports. Of course sports are an excellent way to stay healthy but it’s also important to remember that healthy activities can take many different forms like gardening and doing housework, for example. Now let me suggest some ways of doing exercise. In the first place, you should choose an activity that you enjoy and one you’ll stick with and then start exercising slowly and try to increase the amount of exercise step by step. Well, that’s all I have time for today, so until next time. Good-bye.Part I Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear six conversations between two speakers.

Which hotel faces the Orchard Hotel?A. The First Hotel.B. The Osaka Hotel.C. The Fairview Hotel.D. We don’t know.DLeft-handed people have had enough of being let out and treated unfairly by a largely right-handed world, an organization of “southpaw”said, as it prepared to mark the 12th Left-handers Day.“We have a lot of people e-mailing or phoning every day to say how difficult it is to use equipment at work,”said Keith Milsom, a British spokesman for the Left-handed Club, whichsays that it is to be the largest association(协会) of “lefties”in the world with some 300,000 members.“It leads them to think that a particular task is not their strength, but the truth is these instruments are made for the right-handed,”Milsom told AFP.“The view that left-handers are clumsy and awkward(笨拙的) is not down to their natural abilities, but being forced to use right-handed tools and machines which are completely back-to-front for them,”the Left-handers Club Website says.For Milsom this is a serious problem that goes far beyond using a pair of scissors?穴剪刀?雪or a corkscrew.His group claims(声称) a series of notable victories in its fight to correct the imbalances and secure a safer and less right-centric world.Such victories include forcing changes from a major producer of hand-held power tools and ensuring that all major British banks introduced left-handed check books.The latter may have proved especially beneficial for Milsom and his wife Lauren who owns a shop in London’s Soho district for providing products and information to make life a bit easier for left-handers.No one can explain exactly why about 13 percent of theworld’s population is left-handed, according to the Left-handers Club Website, which suggests this may be genetic and runs in families.“There’s a high chance in twins for one to be left-handed,”it adds.Left-handers were for centuries stigmatized(诬蔑) in language , culture and even in the Bible.The Greek, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, German, Portuguese and Latin words for left-handed all have negative(否定的) meanings, not to mention English.“Things are different today but the world is still designed for right-handers,”Milsom said.Famous left-handers include film star Marilyn Monroe, Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci and British musician Paul McCartney.67. What seems to be the most serious problem for left- handers is that____.A. they are looked down upon by right-handersB. they have all the time been separated from theright-handed worldC. they have to use things designed for right-handersD. they are thought to be clumsy and awkward68. The underlined word “them”(in Paragraph 3) refers to ____.A. people who e-mail or telephone Keith MilsomB. all left-handed peopleC. the 300,000 members of the Left-handed ClubD. people in the organization of “southpaw”69. Lauren ran a shop in London’s Soho district ____.A. to show left-handers’strengthB. to call the attention to the left-handers from the publicC. to help those left-handers in troubleD. to support her husband’s fight against the right- centric world70. It can be inferred from this passage that ____.A. scientists have found the cause for left-handednessB. left-handedness most probably occurs in twinsC. there are no negative meanings for left-handed people in EnglishD. left-handed people are most probably wiser71. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Left-handed People,Too Many SufferingsB. Left-handers, the Past and the PresentC. Left-handed People, Equal to YouD. Being Left-handed, Being FamousEFor new countries joining the European Union, and older ones getting used to their dark red passports, becoming “Europeans”is a bit like marrying into a large, eccentric(古怪的) family. Europeans have a lot in common but it is their differences, not their similarities, that attract the attention of sociologists(社会学家) and market researchers, and are more interesting.★35% of Germans live alone; but only 9% of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.★The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it can’t just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain!★The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.★The Dutch and Germans are the greatest caravanners (活动房居住者), but the Germans like bigger beds in theircaravans.★The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.★The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do, it’s colder.★Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards.★The French are the champion public transport commuters(经常往返者) of Europe. If you hate commuting, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.★The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedes. Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish.★No European countries really agree with any other about how to make good coffee. All of them are different.There are exceptions(例外) to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8-year,old daughter. “If you don’t understand each other’s language, you just laugh a lot, and eat,and point at things.”72. We can know from this passage that ____.A. sociologists are most interested in the idea of European UnionB. most European countries are not willing to join the European UnionC. Europeans have more differences than similaritiesD. trade opportunities exist in the cultural differencesin the European Union73. If you work or live in Belgium, you will____.A. have to change your living places oftenB. seldom see people playing sportsC. not get used to its cold weatherD. be invited to go for a drink frequently74. What does the underlined sentence“Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish.”mean?A. The British and the Swedish care about their safety most.B. The British and the Swedish like to appear gentle and smart.C. The British and the Swedish hate to look at each other face to face.D. The British and the Swedish enjoy a richer lifethan others.75. In the last paragraph, the author wants to express hisidea that ____.A. his daughter knows well how to understand for-eigners in unfamiliar situationsB. Europeans actually share the same culture even ifthey have different languagesC. being a European, you will have no living troubleat all in the European UnionD. there are differences between European countries,but don’t take it too seriously第二卷(一部分,共35分)第四部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节?押短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误,对标有题号的每一行作出判断:如果无错误,在该行右边的横线上画一个勾(√);如果有错误(每行只有一个错误),则按下列情况改正:该行多一个词:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉,在该行右边横线上写出该词,并也用斜线划掉。

I have nothing but praise for your devotion and your hard work . My only concern is that you are not active enough in putting forward your suggestions .”“But.” Replied Kim. “I have always completed every assignment you have given me . Mr. Williams.”“I know that , Kim . And please, call me Bill .But what I expect is for you to think independently and introduce new ideas . I need more input from you —more feedback on how things are going I don’t need a “yes man”. You never tell me what you think .

More than2.6 bullion people lack basic sanitation (卫生设备) .The combination proves deadly . Each year . diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 3 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world . Safe thinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate , inequality between men and women, and poverty .Consider these facts :●The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is6 kilometers .●Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water,and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet .●Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases .Here are three ways you can help :1) Write CongressCurrent U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen . Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters , about clean drinking water abroad .2) Sponsor a project with a faith-based organizationMany U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad . Simply put , a single project by a U.S. organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people .3) Support nonprofit water organizationsNumerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related of drinking water and sanitation . Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows , some organizations are large , others small-scale , some operate worldwide , others are devoted to certain areas in Africa , Asia , or Latin America . Support them generously .72．The three facts presented in the passage the used to illustrate that .A．poverty can result in water-borne diseasesB．people have no access to clean drinking waterC．women’s rights are denied in some developing countries .D．safe drinking water should be a primary concern73．The intended readers of the passage are _____________.A．Americans B．overseas sponsorsC．Congressmen D．U.S-based water organizations 74．The main purpose of the passage is to call on people to ___________.A．get rid of water-related diseases in developing countriesB．donate money to people short of water through religious groupsC．fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problemD．take joint action in support of some nonprofit water organizations 75．What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?A．A variety of companies and their worldwide operation.B．A list of nonprofit water organizations to make contact with.C．Some ways to get financial aids from U.S. Congress.D．A few water resources exploited by some world-famous organizations.DEquipped only with a pair of binoculars(双筒望远镜) and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinc h(红腹灰雀). Britain’s birdwatchers had long been sup posed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches(雀科鸣鸟) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.“Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainl y possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest.” Stephen Moss said in his newly published book－A Bird in the Bush a Social History of Birdwatching－which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman’s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend . Last summer ,BBC 2’s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success .It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.Birdwatchers’ networking system first came to the attention of the nation in1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera-a golden –winged songbird from North America－to be seen in Britain. He put a message our on the network service Birdline, and the next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the fell pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones.“Multimillion-pound spending on, binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers,” said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine “The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment.”76．The word “satiated” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “”.A．affected B．shared C．satisfied D．narrowed77．What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network?A．Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent.B．Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird.C．Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details.D．Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird. 78．Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage?A．Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching.B．The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching.C．Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers.D．The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment.79．The passage mainly tells us about ___________ in UK.A．the history of birdwatchig B．a growing passion for birdwatching C．the impact of media on birdwatching D．birdwatcing as a popular expensive sportEDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.80Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures,and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.81The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auctio, maning “increase” The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.82Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.83An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot I and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.84The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form o f a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）1．TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1．我希望尽快收到你的照片。

听力原文2005Part 1， Listening ComprehensionSection A, Mini—LectureI think as seniors, you are often required by your instructors to do some library research on this topic or that。

And, in the end, you have to write a research paper, right？ Then what is writing a research paper like? How are we going to write one？ What are the steps in producing a research paper and what are the points we need to take care of? In today’s lecture, I'll try to answer these questions。

First of all, what is writing a research paper like？ We may start by comparing it to an ordinary essay， a form of writing you are very familiar with. Writing a research paper is much like writing an essay。

Both kinds of writing involve many of the same basic steps. That is， choosing a topic，asking questions to define and develop the topic, identifying the audience, getting raw material to work with, outlining the paper, writing it， and， finally, revising it。

But I'd like to talk about my new computer.W: Let's keep to the point. We can talk about that later. All right?M: OK.Text 3W: Bill, that is a lovely painting in your living-room.M: I' m glad you like it. It’s a Christmas gift from my son.W: Well, it's beautiful. Your son has very good taste.Text 4M: So how is your new roommate?W: She really makes me angry.M: What happened?W: She's always making loud noises at midnight. When I remind her, she's always rude.Text 5W: Excuse me, I'm looking for Mr Tang.M: Oh, he is not on this floor. He is on the fourth floor. Go down the stairs and turn left.Text 6M: Did you finish typing that report?W: Yes, I did, but I worked late.M: But it must be a long report, I guess.W: Exactly. Twelve pages. I spent three hours on it.M: By the way, what time did you go home?W: I left the office at nine o'clock. I got home at ten.M: What did have for dinner?W: I sent out for a sandwich and ate at my desk.Text 7M: Fikky, what's going on? Freggis just told me that you're going to be leaving us.W: Yes, I really feel bad out of it. But B. N. D. came up with really good offer.M: Well, I didn't know you were going to look for a new job.W: Well, just between you and me. I think we have some real problems in this department. Don't get me wrong. It has nothing to do with you, Frank. Everybody says you are an excellent manager. M: Problems, what problems? Do we have time to talk about it?Text 8W: You know I just finished some very interesting research for the news¬paper about things people do in their spare time.M: Really? What did you learn?W: Well, I talked to 20 people and 19 of them watch TV.M: That's interesting. I never watch it, do you?W: Not much. Anyway, about half of them, 9 people, play some kind of sport.M: I'm not surprised. People are getting more exercise these days.W: Yes, a few of them go to movies.M: Mm, I do, too.W: But here is the most interesting result: only one of them reads.M: That's terrible.Text 9M: Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?W: No, not at all.

By the way, where are your from?M: China.W: China? But you speak English like a native speaker. I didn't have any idea.M: Oh, excuse me. It's time for my flight. Well, it's been nice talking with you.W: You, too. Bye!Text 10M: Could you suggest some ways to bring family members closer together?W: Well, I feel it is very important for families to have regular meals to¬gether. One of my good childhood memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters. Because my husband and I both worked and our three children were busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a fam¬ily. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First we tried setting fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had the idea that everyone told his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually, though, they began to see the evenings together as interesting and helpful. We loved a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other’s problems. After a couple of months anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now we all feel than we have been able to build stronger relationships within the family that we had before.答案：1-5：BACBC 6-10：ABABC 11-15：ACABA 16-20：ACBBC 21-25：CBADC。

As most of you know, I'm here today to talk about blood transfusion. The idea of a blood transfusion is very simple, but that idea has saved many thousands of lives over the past century. Often, if a person is in an accident, or has an operation, he will lose a lot of blood. And these are the times when the blood transfusion is needed. This simply means taking blood from another person and putting it into the body of the patient. Doctors have been carrying out blood transfusions for hundreds of years. At first, they used blood from sheep. But that wasn't very successful. It wasn't until the last century that doctors realized there are several types of blood, and that the correct type must always be used. Once they knew that, blood transfusions had become almost a hundred percent successful. So, you might be thinking, what does this have to do with me? Well, it has something to do with all of us. Hospitals need to keep banks of blood ready for transfusions. The only way they can get that blood is from ordinary people like you. Every human body has 5 liters of blood, and we take 0.5 liters from each person. This is completely safe. In fact, your body will make enough blood to replace it after a round day.

To my surprise, many of them expressed disappointment. After their highly controlled high school lives, they were having difficulty adjusting to the free time in the university. When I asked them to describe theirhigh school lives, many of them told me they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten at night. Most of this time was spent at school, doing piles of homework to help them prepare for the university entrance exams.Once they entered the university, in my opinion, the students are not expected to devote all their waiting hours to studying, they should also take an active part in social activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their time outside of the class between sports and clubs. What’s more, they should spend some time watching TV and chatting with their roommates. These activities are useful in helping them prepare for their future. But what struck me most was that many of them did not seem particularly happy about their new found freedom. As they had so many choices, they felt that no matter what they were doing, they should be doing something else. That’s why they were not happy.To those students, my advice was, get used to it and learn to make decisions for yourselves.2009年高考试题——英语听力（湖北卷）原文1M: Shall we go for a walk, Julie?W: Is it warm outside?M: No, you need a coat.W: Well, I think I’ll stay at home, then.2.M: I’d like a coffee.
