Listening InTask 1: Tips for job interviewsA: After listening to the career officer’s talk, I’ve now realizes the importance of getting prepared for an interview.B: Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview. If you’re not punctual, they’ll suspect that you’ll be late for work in future.A: Before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless clothes will lead them into thinking that you’re likely to do your job carelessly.B: During the interview, it is important to look confident without being too pushy. It’s necessary to maintain eye contact. This shows your interest in the conversation, andhelps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.A: Many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received. We need to highlight those courses especially valuable to the company.B: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and emphasize the skills that are useful in the job we’re seeking.A: How clever you are! These days many students want to tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English and have obtained a College English Test Band 4 Certificate.B: They’re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, office automation, and so on. Students from non-key universities especially need certificates to shoe they’ve acquired those skills before they can hope to compete against students from prestigious universities.A: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary society, where teamwork is a must.B: But too many students are saying more or less the same thing. If everybody says, “I’m warm-hearted and cooperative, get along well with my classmates, and have good team spirit,”the boss will soon get fed up.A: Perhaps we should let the work we’ve done shoe our character.B: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important official of the Student Union of the university or the department, or you’ve organized a singing competition and won an award, obviously you’re a good team player.Key:1.

TTask 2 Are you ready for a phone interviewScript and keyNowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses involved in interviewing out-of-town candidates.While you're job-searching, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment's notice. You never know when a recruiter might call. So, you'd better take a look at the following phone interview tips.Before the interview, you should get well-prepared. For example, you can compile a list of your background and skills, your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions You need to keep your resume on the top of your desk or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it's at your fingertips when you need to answer questions. Also, you should have a pen and paper handy for note taking.It's helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the phone. In this way, you'll be able to hear your "ums" and "uhs" and "OKs", and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and politely. You should use the interviewer's title (Mr. or Ms. and their lastname), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you to. It is essential not to interrupt the interviewer. On your part, you should try to give answers that are short and to the point.Finally, remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer, ask if it would be possible to meet in person.Questions and key1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a purpose of screening candidates on the phone?B) To test candidates' psychological stability when thcy speak on the phone.2.

Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‘d better get it right firs time. Here’re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume.First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don’t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. It should emphasized the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills another job. In other words, you need to “re-package”yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately that you correspond to the job description. It is not dishonest to “re-package”yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you to get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range o jobs.1.Why does the speaker say the resume is important?2.Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resume?3.Where should you put the important information in your job descriptions accordingto the passage?4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for threejobs?5. What is the passage mainly about?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.A 4.C 5.BIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?Susan: John, can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?John: Did you go to the job fairs and meet with companies?Susan: Yeah, I did. But they didn’t seem to be interested in women.I thought about suing then for sexual discrimination.John: I’m afraid it won’t be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaper?Susan: I’ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but I can’t find anything interesting that I’m qualified for.And the few that I have seen are very low-paying.John: Then try the Internet. You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field.Susan: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I’ll look for something in electronic engineering. John: Hey, I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the sort of thing you’re looking for.Susan: Great, I’ll try my luck there.John: Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.Susan: This afternoon? Oh no! I’d better get online quickly and see if I can submit my resume by E-mail.John:Wait, have you updated your resume? You’d better include your work experience from the IT company last summer.Susan: Don’t worry. It’s all set. Thanks, mate.John:Any time, Sue.MODEL2 Do you have any tips for a successful interview? ScriptSusan: John, do you have any tips for a successful interview?John: Well, first of all, you need to dress professionally.Susan: Oh, what about during the interview?John: Ok, be sure to maintain good eye contact and answer all questions politely and directly. Don’t look too shy, nor should you sound too aggressive.Susan: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.John: They’ll probably want to know a little about your work experience. Many companies don’t want a completely green hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.Susan: Fortunately, I gained some experience at an IT company during the last summer holiday.John: They may also want to know something about your character. You see, ability for teamwork is usually valued.Susan: What kind of questions should I ask them?John: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company. Susan: Should I ask about salary and fringe benefits?John: Better not. Not unless they bring it up. Just use the first interview to sell yourself. Susan: You’re right. If they are interested in hiring me, there will be plenty of chances to talk about money later.John: Right. And the more interested they are, the more they’ll offer.MODEL3 Our best bet is to recruit from the competition. ScriptHelen: Our company is starting from scratch, so we don’t have the expertise to compete.Bill: Then our best bet is to recruit from the competition.Helen: We need managers who know how to be strong, yet know how to give employees their freedom.Bill:That’s essential, especially in the computer industry. Often computer experts like to work on their own.Helen: We also don’t believe that a right management system will work wonders for our company.Bill: Um…that philosophy will help you attract many worthwhile people.Helen: I remember your friend David Miller is the CEO of a management recruitment agency. I hope he’ll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it’s a good time, too. A number of firms have been downsizing. Helen: Good. So lots of capable people out there are interested in bigger and batter things. But can David help us pin them down?Bill: Sure, Helen! That’s why they call them headhunters.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Can you give me some advice on how to succeed in an interview?B: Well, first of all, you need to pay attention to your appearance. You have to dress appropriately.A: What do you mean by appropriately?B: It’s often best to wear a suit. Some bosses don’t like to see a candidate on a dirty T-shirt and jeans.A: I see. Careless clothes may be an indicator of careless attitude in work.B: Right on. Also, many employers are unwilling to hire a young man with his hair dyed red or yellow.A: Then, what about during the interview?B: You should speak politely but firmly. If you look too shy, they may suspect you are not capable of dealing with a challenging task.A: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.B: They’ll probably want to know something about your work experience. Companies usually don’t want an entirely new hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.A: Fortunately, I gained some experience at a law of firm during the last summer holiday.I worked as an intern to provide free legal advice for those who need it.B: Oh. I see, this is what they called “legal assistance to the needy”. Also, a company may want to know something about your character. You see, team players are often valued above all others.A: What kind of questions should I ask them?B: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.A: I hear that many companies asked the candidates what salary they expect.B: That’s true. You have to inquire about the possible salary level for a green hand in advance. If the salary you expect is reasonable, this shows that you know the professions well and will have a good impression on the interviewer.A: Oh, I’ve learned so much from you. A thousand thanks.V. Let’s TalkScriptVoice-over:T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom, the giant German telephone company. T-Mobile is their global mobile phone operation. Nine hundredpeople work at the company's call centre in Greenock, which was set up onlyfive years ago; 760 of them are employed in handling customer calls and theyare managed by 70 team managers and 10 operations managers. In alarge-scale operation like this, the role of recruitment and training is theresponsibility of a dedicated on-site human resources department. Woman: We have a training team, headed up by two leading advisers and supported by a number of customer-facing advisers who've been moved into the role oftraining. The theory behind is, these are the people who are doing the job, arein the best place to train that job to other people.[On-screen text: Helen Young, Human Resources Adviser]Helen: Our recruitment is divided into two main sections. We have a CSA recruitment: Customer Service Adviser, and we also have all the other recruitment. It's crucial to us that we get the right people for the job, absolutely crucial, and we do whatever possible to ensure that people have realistic expectations of the job before they, before they're made an offer.Helen: In the initial stages they'd be given a telephone interview which would last somewhere in the region of 15 minutes. Following that, they'd be invited to come on-site. They'd have a tour of the centre. They then get, if you like, anopportunity to try us on for size. They get to see the role, they get to see how it feels, feel the culture of the company and if they're still happy at that stage and want to apply, then they need to do so formally. They would then complete an application form and be brought on-site for a two-hour assessment. The assessment consists of a role-play, which looks at their customer service ability and a competency interview. We need people who have the ability to communicate well and deliver the customer service that we want to deliver. We have a full age range of employees coming from various different backgrounds: manufacturing, customer service straight through to school leavers.Key(1) 900 (2) customer calls (3) 70 (4) human resources (5) supported(6) customer-facing (7) place (8) two (9) right people(10) realisticVI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Tell me about yourself.ScriptM: Tell me a little about yourself.W: I’m from Guilin City.M: What brought you to the east coast?W: I came to Qingdao to attend college. I’m impressed by this city’s dynamic economy.I’ve come to love it so much that I’ve decided to stay and work here.M: What work experience do you?W: I worked as an intern for a small shipping company. And my primary responsibilitieswere to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important. The knowledge I acquired from textbooks is indeed, but it is equally essential to be able to persuadea potential client t to trust you.M: How would your former employer describe you?W: He told me that my ability to find one customer after another was an asset to the company. He thanked me for my loyalty. He also appreciated my team as shown in my cooperation with my colleague.M: You seem very mature for your age. And I see from your resume that you are very goal-oriented.W: Thank you. I believe I’ve acquired many good qualities from my parents. They’re my role models. However, I know I still have a lot to learn.The woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter’s dynamic economy. Now shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreciated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature for her age and very goal-oriented. And she believes that she has acquired many goodqualities form her parents, but still has a lot to learn.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestScriptMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key: 1. F 2. T 3. T 4. F 5. TTask3: A guide to a successful job interviewThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don’t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how tohandle them properly.Why should we choose you? T o this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don’t say, “I don’t have any.”Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?”You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how”to demonstrate and prove your strengths.1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why should wechoose you?”?3.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?4.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Key: 1C 2.C3.

Thecity's officials attributed the large number of deaths among theelderly to the growing number of younger people living in thesuburbs, the fact that many elderly people lived alone in thequake-stricken areas, and the fact that a large number of homes in the area were built before and immediately after World War II. In the quake area, the old traditional Japanese wooden houses, designed to resist (抗拒) typhoons (台风), presented a poor resistance to the earthquake forces.It was reported that there were 164 independent fires, and that more than 50 percent of fires broke out 24 hours after the earthquake. A large number of fires were attributed to gas leaks, which were sparked (触发) by electrical short-circuits. More than 1,300,000 square meters were burned down.About 170,000 houses were destroyed or severely damaged. Many office and apartment buildings were also severely damaged. The number of refugees (难民) is reported to be in excess of 300,000.The earthquake has been called Japan's greatest postwar disaster. At the present, it is difficult to assess the total amount of damage to the Japanese economy.1. How did most victims die in the earthquake?2. What was the proportion of female victims to male victims in thequake?3. When were the unsafe homes of old people built?4. What was the main cause for the fires?5. How many refugees were made by the earthquake?Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Cornton Vale is a new type of prison specially designed for women criminals in Scotland. The 226 prisoners there live in small units of seven rooms. There is a kitchen where they cook their own meals and a lounge (休息室) with fitted carpet and armchairs.The "wake-up, wake-up" call by loudspeaker (喇叭) at 7 every morning is followed by a music program, which creates the atmosphere (气氛) of a holiday camp. During the day, most of the prisoners are employed in three workshops, making toys or clothing. Their earnings—up to 90 pence a week—can be spent in the prison shop.The gymnasium, which also acts as a cinema and concert hall, has facilities (设施) for table tennis, basketball and dancing.Prisoners, particularly those with long sentences, are encouraged to be independent and take responsibility for themselves and others. This is in many ways much more demanding than simply serving time. Just as the deputy governor (长官) of this prison once said, "We try topreserve the prisoners' self-respect as much as possible, by imagining ourselves in their position." His words explain why this new prison is run in a unique way.6.What is Cornton Vale?7.What is used to make Cornton Vale seem like a holiday camp?8.Where do the women of Cornton Vale work, and what do theydo?9.Other than using the gym for tennis, basketball, and dancing,what is it used for?10.

Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send hime-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders and he records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actions have not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.1.Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?A. They don't want to take something that was thrown away.B. They don't think that the drugs work.C. They can't work when taking them.D. They don't have enough money.2.What does Wildes do every month?A. Mail medicines to Africa.B. Take a trip to Africa.C. Throw away AIDS drugs.D. Send e-mails to Africans.3.What did Wildes learn five years ago?A. Drugs are thrown away.B. He has AIDS.C. Africans need drugs.D. Hospitals are not fair.4.With whom does Wildes have phone conversations?A. A San Francisco nurse.B. 100 sick Africans.C. American doctors.D. African doctors.5.What do people think of Wildes' actions?A. They think he shouldn't break the law.B. They think he is doing good work.C. They think he will be taken to court.D. They think he is prevented from helping.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage ordialog.The great river Nile (尼罗河) flows gently in its course through the hot plains in the first half of the year but later on when the melting (融化) snows and the rains on the mountains far to the south swell its tributaries (支流), the Nile overflows (泛滥). It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. The settlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers.In these early times they did not of course understand why the river overflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods.But there came some years when there was a "bad Nile". Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enough soil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual rising of the Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries of the farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.6.We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich7.The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because ______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in the soilthereB. they did not realize that the river would overflow sometimesC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods8.The Nile was called the "bad Nile" at times because _______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia9.The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floods by_______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land10.According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar of theyearsB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned how tocontrol the floodC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread the knowledge allover the worldQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage ordialog.I don't have a strong village feeling. There is a little pub and that is where most people go, although I tend to avoid it. The village always wants to know what you are doing and if you don't have too much contact with it in the pub, then they don't learn too much. I just keep them guessing.The new people want a great community center. People who have just arrived in a village always want to do something in it or to it. What exactly they are going to have in this center I don't know. They keep talking about "amenities" (公共设施). I suppose they mean a car-park and a big smart room. The young village people don't want this. When their work is over they want to go off in their cars to the bright lights of Ipswich. The new people are often just kidding themselves that they are real village people. They don't just want to be accepted; they really want to take over the traditions. This is why they have come to live in a village. They want to do things "for the village" and it is all very exhausting if you happen to be an "old villager" and you just want to be left alone. What I cannot understand is why a person who has got the wit (才智) to make enough money to come and live comfortably in the country, and have a centrally-heated house and a car, should want to put on entertainment in a hut (小屋). These people are just playing at village life—kidding themselves that they are genuine country folk. They wear us out. When their work is done they want to play in the village and when our work is done we want to play outside it. I suppose that sums it up.11.We can learn from this passage that the writer ______.A. doesn't learn about what village people are doingB. tells the other village people about the pubC. never tells people anything about himselfD. doesn't often go to the village pub12.According to the passage, the young village people _______.A. want their pleasure outside the villageB. don't like going to the community centerC. don't like the new peopleD. want to see the latest group in the village13.In the writer's opinion, the new people _______.A. want to get rid of the old ways of the villageB. want to be left alone by people in the villageC. know that they aren't accepted by people in the villageD. do things that change the village from how it is14.The old village people _______.A. don't want to get rid of their old things for new thingsB. are not ready to accept the new people in their villageC. want a new community center with a place to parkD. want to go back to their own traditions15.It can be inferred from this passage that the author _______.A. likes to play at village lifeB. disagrees with the new peopleC. likes laughing at the new peopleD. wants the new people to go awayPart 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题: 2 分; 满分：30 分) 小题得分对错我的答案客观1. 2 D D2. 2 A A3. 2 B B4. 2 D D5. 2 B B6. 2 D D7. 2 A A8. 2 C C9. 2 B B10. 2 A A11. 2 D D12. 2 A A13. 2 D D14. 2 A A15. 2 B BSubtotal: 30 老师评语：Part 4 Multiple Choice(每小题：分)Directions: Choose the best answer from the four choicesmarked A, B, C and D.1.One of his eyes was injured in an accident, but after a ______operation, he quickly recovered his sight.A. delicateB. considerateC. preciseD. sensible2.Could you please _____ an appointment for me to see Mr.Smith?A. manageB. arrangeC. takeD. prepare3.Mr. Lewis broke the world ______ for the 100 meters.A. markB. standardC. levelD. record4.In American universities, classes are often arranged in moreflexible _____ and many jobs on campus are reserved forstudents.A. scalesB. patternsC. gradesD. ranksst year the advertising rate ________ by 20 percent.A. roseB. raisedC. arousedD. arose6.The guard walked through the train ______ everyone's ticket.A. inspectingB. overlookingC. reviewingD. analyzing7.Our holiday was _______ by showers of rain.A. spoiledB. destroyedC. crashedD. discouraged8.Students or teachers can participate in excursions (短途旅行)to lovely beaches around the island at regular ________.B. rateC. intervalsD. length9.We were tired of hearing him ________ about how strong hewas.A. commentB. remarkC. referD. boast10.He played the guitar (吉他) so well that everyone was_______.A. affectedB. arousedC. effectedD. impressed11.Most nurses are women, but in the higher ranks of the medicalprofession women are in a _______.B. minorityC. minimumD. shortage12.My uncle rarely used to oversleep, _________?A. wasn't heB. didn't heC. was heD. did he13.Jack was about to announce our plan but I ________.A. put him throughB. turned him outC. gave him upD. cut him short14.Only after a long chat, _________ that Mr. Smith was in fact aboss of a big factory.A. he realizedB. he has realizedC. did he realizeD. has realized he15.The room ________ cool in summer and warm in winter.A. feelsB. has been feltC. is feltD. has been feeling16.The goods piled up there require _______ carefully.A. to be looked afterB. looking afterC. being looked afterD. looked after17.There's a man at the reception desk who seems very angryand I think he means ________ trouble.A. makingB. to makeC. to have madeD. having made18.I found him always _______ of others.A. thoughtB. thinkC. thinksD. thoughtful19.My wallet is nowhere to be found.

新视野大学英语视听说教程第三册听力练习录音文本和答案Uint1- Uint6 Listening In task-task3Uint1III. Listening InScriptM: Tell me your secret. You‘re suddenly getting excellent marks in every subject, and you used to be a bottom-of –class student just like me.W: Simple enough. I read an article in a scientific journal that studying with remembering, based on recent research into the brain.M: Aw, that stuff‘s old hat: study at the same time every day, be sure your clothes are comfortable, and make sure you have enough light, blah-blah-blah.W: Not so fast, wise guy. I‘m talking about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, creating a picture in your mind of what is to be remembered.M: Ok, that dies sound different. Id ―Association‖ a principle—you know, you connect what you want to remember with something you‘re familiar with?W: Right on! ‗Consolidation‖ is another. I review my notes right after class and consolidate—or absorb—the new material into what I‘ve already learned.M: You‘re moving ahead fast with those principles. I swear this weekend I‘m going to study sixteen hours a day both Saturday and Sunday.W: Whoa, big guy. That‘s not the way. Follow the principle of ―Distributes Practice‖. Shorter study sessions distributes over several days are better.M: That system is all very well for you; you‘ve got a good memory. But what about me? I‘ve gota memory like a sieve.W: You‘re too modest. There‘s nothing wrong with your memory. But memory is like a muscle; it needs exercise. And don‘t forget it.While the man is wondering why the woman is suddenly getting excellent marks, she says she read an article on studying and remembering. It talks about principles like ―Mental Visualization‖, that is, creating a picture in one‘s mind of what is to be remembered. This reminds the man of the principle of ―Association‖, which means connecting what one wants to remember with something one is familiar with. Then the woman adds the principle of ―Consolidation‖, or reviewing one‘s notes after class and absorbing the new materia l into what one has already learned. When the man promise to study sixteen hours a day, the woman recommends the principle of ―Distributed Practice‖, which favors shorter study sessions distributed over several days. Finally, the woman tells the man that memory is like a muscle, and that it needs exercise.Task 2: You forget my toast!ScriptAn 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. Thecouple thanked the doctor and left.Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, ―Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?‖Before the man left, she added, ―Why don‘t you write that down so you won‘t forget?‖―Nonsense,‖ said the husband, ―I can remember a dish of ice cream!‖―Well,‖ said the wife, ―I‘d like some strawberries on it. You‘d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.‖―Don‘t be silly,‖replied the husband. ―There‘re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely remember that!‖With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon and eggs.The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, ―Hey, you forget the toast!‖Keys: FTFFFTask3: Memory-Improving TechniquesScriptThere are many techniques you can use to improve your memory. Some of them are introduced her.First and foremost, you need to stimulate your memory all the time. To put it simply, you should use your memory as much as possible. It is especially important to try to learn something new. If you work in an office, learn to dance; if you are a dancer, learn to deal with a computer, if you work with sales, and learn to play chess; if you are a programmer, learn to paint. These added activities stimulate the brain so that I t continues to function.Older people need to pay attention to things they are dealing with. Don‘t try to memorize everything that catches your attention; focus on what you consider important. For example, you can take any object such as a pen and concentrate on it. Think on its various characteristics: its material, its function, its color, and so on. Don‘t allow any other thought to occupy your mind while you are concentrating in that pen.Another method that can be used is to relax yourself. It is impossible to remember things if you are tense or nervous.So, try holding your breath for ten seconds, and then release it slowly.Association is also a powerful tool to develop your memory. For example, if you cannot remembera person‘s name, you can think about a special feature of his face and then link it with his mane.1.What‘s seems to be an especially important way to stimulate one‘s memory?2.What seems to be the best way to focus your memory?3.How can you concentrate on a pen?4.How can you relax yourself according to the passage?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1A 2.C3.

Jenny:Sure, I think everyone had to before class started.Harrison: No. Usually no one does much on the first day because it‘s still add-drop.Jenny: What‘s that?Harrison: Changing from class to class to find out which one is best. Hey, where are you from? Jenny: Poland. Have you has this teacher before? I‘ve heard he is really good.Harrison: He‘s good if you‘re a hand-worker. He expects a lot.Jenny: Oh, I guess that‘s good. I hope I can keep up with everyone else in the class. Maybe I need your help after class.Harrison: You‘re welcome.…Professor: All right. See you guys next week.Student: See you.Jenny: Harrison, wait up!Harrison: So what do you think about the professor‘s lecture?Jenny: I think half of what he said went over my head.Harrison: That‘s all right. A lot of what he said is explain in the reading/Jenny: Hey, would you mind if I borrowed your notes tonight to look them over? Harrison: No problem. We don‘t have class until Wednesday. Here you go.Jenny: Thanks. I just want to make sure I‘m prepared for the seminar.Harrison: Yeah, participation in the discussion is an important part of the education here. Seeing that Jenny has bought the books for the biology class, Harrison says nobody does much onwas―Hi, Mom. I certainly miss you and Dad. I…uh…got a big surprise this week in my physics course.

Here, according to education experts and students themselves are the secrets of super-achievers.First, they know how to set priorities. Top students allow no intrusions on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is turned on, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Study is business, and business comes before recreation.Also, good students can study anywhere and everywhere. Claudia Hill, an Arizona State University business professor recalls a cross-country runner who worked out every day. Hill persuaded him to use his spare time to memorize biology term. Then he posted a list of biology terms on the mirror in the bathroom. He learned a few terms every day while brushing his teeth. Eventually, he scored high on the final examination.Moreover, top students schedule their time well. Study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others awake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school when the work is fresh in their minds. All agreed, however, on the need for consistency. A student says, ―Whatever I was doing, I maintained a certain period of time every day for studying.‖Another important characteristic of super-achievers is that they know hoe to read, According to a book entitled Getting Straight A‘s, the secret of good reading is to be ―an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the author‘s message‖.6.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about super—achievers starting to study?7.What did the cross-country runner do to score high on the exam?8.What is the good thing all top students agree on?9.What does the speaker mean by ―an active reader‖?10.What is the main idea of the passage?Kes: 1B 2.C3.

We‘ve had moved four times in thirteen years!M: And, you believe that will be good grounds for divorce?W: I do have a right to stability for my children and myself, don‘t I?M: Aren‘t they his children, too?W: But my husband isn‘t fulfilling his duties!M: Is he paying the bills?W: Well, yes, but we just live around the poverty line. Our kids are being teased by other kids at school because we can‘t dress them in good clothes! We have to live in a small department and drive an old car!M: Does the car run?W: Yes, but it looks OLD!M: Do you yell at him and call him names?W: Well, he yells at me!M: So, those are the reasons to not honor your husband. Are you going to give him joint custody in this divorce?W: No, just visitation rights.M: Why?W: Because the law permits me to.M: And, what about the financial demands of this divorce?W: I‘m demanding half of all we have, which isn‘t much, and large support payments.After thirteen years marriage, the woman wants to divorce her husband, claiming he is . When asked for the specific grounds for divorce, she gives these reasons: First, hethejointshe would soon get married. People who knew her well said the marriage wouldn‘t last long. But for the present, she and her new husband approached happy.As soon as the newly couple returned from their honeymoon, the bride called her mother.―How does everything go?‖ her mother asked.―Oh, Mom,‖ she began, ―the honeymoon was lovely! So romantic! We had a wonderful time. But on our back, Bob started using terrible language. Stuff I‘d never heard before. Really awful four-letter words. You‘ve got to come get me and take me home. Please, Mom!‖ the new bride sobbed over the telephone.―But, honey,‖ the mother asked, ―What four-letter words?‖―I can‘t tell you, Mom. They‘re too awful! Come get me, please!‖―Darling, you must tell me what has upset you so much. Tell me what four-letter words he used.‖Still sobbing, the bride said, ―Mom, words like dust, wash, iron, and cook.‖Keys: FTFFTTask3: A Woman Who Chose Not to RemarryScriptAfter 17 years of marriage, my husband left me for my best friend, Monica. What I had feared most became reality: I became the single parent of two young children. My daughter grew increasingly unhappy. Seven-year-old Joanna had anxiety attacks when ever she was left alone for more than a few minutes. Five-year-old Sophie would vomit every meal. Under the psychological pressure, I thought about remarriage. My friends arranged dinner with single men and invited me to parties to meet the latest ―someone special‖.But later I changed my mind. A colleague of mine said, ―Second marriages usually end in divorce, and children are destroyed by it.‖ There is some truth in his words. Research published in 2004 showed that children in blended families were no more emotionally healthy than those in single-parent families.Not long ago, my now-teenage daughter and I went to lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant. While eating, we talked about a friend of ours who was divorcing her second husband. We were worried about how the break would harm her three children, two of whom were struggling to get free of drugs. Joanna put down her fork and looked at me. ―Mom, I‘m glad you didn‘t remarry,‖she said. ―If you had divorced again, I might have tried drugs or even consider suicide.‖ At that moment, I realized, once again, that singleness was right choice for me.11.What was the speaker most afraid of?12.Which of the following is NOT true?13.What did the speaker‘s colleague say?14.Which of the following is true?15.If the speaker had divorced again, what might her daughter, Joanna, have done?Kes: 1C 2.A3.

And my primary responsibilities were to maintain the company‘s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.

Don‘t panic, theyjust want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future. When asked ―What are your weakness?‖, don‘t say, ―I don‘t have any.‖ Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, ―I haven‘t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I‘m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.‖Another common question is: ―What are your strengths?‖ You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the ―Why, where, when, how‖ to demonstrate and prove your strengths.16.What is the passage mainly concerned with?17.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, ―Why should we chooseyou?‖?18.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?19.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when a sked, ―What are your weaknesses?‖20.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Kes: 1C 2.C3.

The business has been in the family for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless clients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in front of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the wear and tear.The accountant‘s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he‘d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell.Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for the repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a price for a new step.―Ah, big job,‖ said the e stonemason, ―But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.‖ The accountant was stunned. ―Are you crazy, man?

You will be ―planning your business tree‖ there and will have to maintain it for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when deciding on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the ―bad area of town‖ because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since unemployment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what type of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiting phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate the business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate with the local community and get to love it. To make the community warm to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamber of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or other local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring ―one day‖ to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?21.What is the speaker mainly talking about?22.What must you find if you are going to locate a business at a distance from your home?23.According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?24.What will the recruiting money tell you?25.What can you do the get on well with the locate people?Kes: 1D 2.C3.

Don‘t you think the government just squanders our hard-earned tax on some unnecessary projects?Alan: Sure, someone they do, but we are living pretty well and, to be honest, I don‘t mind paying taxes. If I‘m paying income tax, it means I‘m earning would be much lower. Pamela: If the poor would just get jobs, our taxes would be much lower.Alan: Most people would rather work than receive charity, but the situation is complex: sometimes there are no jobs that they are trained for.Pamela: Then they should take the needed training—upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable.Alan:Training and upgrading cost money. Some government tax dollars are directed to programs that help the poor get jobs.Alancharity,but sometimes there are no jobs that trained for. Butjobless people should take the needed training to upgrade their skills and knowledge to become more employable. Alan believes that some of the government tax dollars are already directed to training and upgrading programs that help the poor to get jobs. When Pamela says some of the unemployed don‘t want to work, preferring to have handouts, Alan points out that some people have to be educated to realize how much fuller their life would be if they ere not dependent on charity. Pamela is, however, more down-to-earth, thinking the government should attack unemployment by reducing the tax rate. That would give people more money; then, they would spend more, which would create more jobs for the poor.Task 2: A Professional GamblerScriptIn a bar a guy told the bartender, ―I‘m a professional gambler; I‘ve made of lots of money from gambling.‖The bartender answered, ―I can hardly believe it.

That was down from 36% in 1999 as measured by the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. It‘s a triumph for many people across the nation who worked tirelessly to reverse the climb in teen smoking rates during the 1990s.An equal accomplishment many be discovery of what works to influence teens‘ motivation and behavior. Success has come in communities with a comprehensive program to fight tobacco use by teens. The best school health classes won‘t have much effect on teen who already smoke. Many of them need professional help before they can quit. Another interesting finding is that nearly all first use of tobacco occurs before high school graduation. So if adolescents don‘t start smoking by age 18, odds are they never will. For those who do experiment with cigarettes, new research shows teens can get hooked on nicotine more quickly than adults and by extremely low levels of tobacco.Now the bad news: while the teen smoking rate is down to 28%, that still means more than one in four teenagers still smoke. Public health and parents are not ready to abandon a quarter of today‘s young people to the damaging effects of tobacco. Obviously, it is still too early to celebrate a complete victory. There is still much room for improvement.。

Unit 6 FearPart II LISTENING AND SPEAKINGLesson A / ListeningSCRIPTTrack 6-1What are some of the things people are afraid of? A recent survey asked more than 1,000 people what they were afraid of and snakes are number one on the list. According to the survey, 51 percent of people are afraid of them. Next, the survey found that 40 percent of people are afraid of speaking in public. Only 11 percent of people said they are afraid of crowds, and just five percent of people are afraid of the dark. Mice, however, were quite high on the list—20 percent of people are afraid of them.SCRIPTTrack 6–21. I have an unusual fear. It happens to me when I’m on public transportation sometimes. I’m fine if there aren’t a lot of people, but if it’s crowded, I freak out a little. I can’t relax. Crowded subways are the worst. If I’m on a crowded car, I usually get off and wait for the next one.2. It’s strange; I like my classmates and I have no trouble talking to any of them. But every time I have to speak in front of the class, I get really nervous. I talk too fast, or I forget information. It’s frustrating. Once I start talking, I’m usually okay, but I have a really hard time at first.3. I don’t know why I’m afraid of them; I’m much bigger than they are, but they still freak me out. Mice just run so fast everywhere! Sometimes, I’ll see one run across the kitchen fl oor and I can’t go into the kitchen for hours. I can’t even set a trap for them. It’s crazy.ConversationTrack 6–3A: What’s something you’re afraid of?B: Nothing really. When I was a kid, I was scared of bugs, like spiders and roaches.A: Oh yeah. Me too.

It is one of the worst emotional experiences we can have. Many people do almost anything they can to avoid it, but some actively seek it out. In many ways, doing things that make us afraid is crazy. No other animal intentionally risks its life for thrills or excitement, and yet humans do it all the time. We climb mountains, jump off bridges with parachutes, or kayak in dangerous waters.I used to work as a tree climber, removing old branches from trees. Many times I climbed as high as 24 meters, and then I had to cut six meters of tree above me. It was very dangerous and I had to make just the right cut so that the top of the tree fell forward rather than back on top of me. To deal with my fear, I would wait five or ten minutes before I made the cut. But I wasn’t waiting for courag e; I was waiting for emptiness. For those five to ten minutes, I would care and care and care, and then at some point, I would stop caring. Inside, I’d feel empty. Then I’d make the cut.I imagine that every skydiver who steps out of an airplane or every bungee jumper who jumps off a bridge experiences the same thing.

I think probably the public has an idea that there is more danger than there really is, but still, there is some danger and my experience with that danger has been—uh, even small amounts of it—has been really quite traumatizing.2. You know I grew up in a really safe, comfortable suburb, and I think some of my—I don’t know what you’d call it—some of my interest that leads me in that direction,I think just comes … they’re really just a reaction to the incredible safety and, frankly, sort of boringness that I grew up in.3. You know when you’re … when you exercise really hard or if you experience fear, there’s a chemical reaction in your body … and those feel good—I mean, just chemically they feel good—and the human body responds to that experience in a positive way. And so anybody—from, you know, your grandmother to an eighteen year old guy who’s driving too fast—everyone responds to the thrill of risk with some positive response to risk. People just have different levels of risk, and thrill turns to terror at different places for different people.PART III VIDEOSCRIPTBoyd Matson:“The biggest spiders in the world are the aptly named ‘goliath’ tarantulas. Most people would run the other way if they saw a spider that was this big. But one intrepid researcher ... makes it his business to track them down and catch them.”Narrator:For many, tarantulas inspire fear. But for tarantula expert Rick West, they just inspire. West says these skilled hunters, which live mostly on insects, but may eatlarger animals like mice and birds, are misunderstood.Rick West:“They’ve been maligned in horror movies. These are the things that as we’ve come up through our years watching television, science fiction movies, it’s always the thing that creeps out of the shadow and goes for the jugular. And it does; it creeps people out and gives them the wrong impression.”Narrator:Rick has come to French Guiana in search of the largest spider in the world – the “goliath.” It can grow to nearly thirty centimeters across, with large sharp teeth called fangs which can be five centimeters long.But the fangs aren’t the tarantula’s only weapons. Its abdomen is covered with small hairs. The spider can shed these quickly if it is threatened. The hairs can stick to your skin or go inside your nose and cause painful irritation.For Rick, it’s best to look for spiders in the dark. Most tarantulas live underground and come out to hunt at night. And suddenly, right at his feet … a giant. Rick West:“This is a beautiful female. She is a monster. This is Theraphosa blondi, it’s the world’s largest tarantula and world’s largest spider. She’s gotta have a legspan of about 10 inches across. Just have to slow her down here. Unless you really do something to injure it or to scare it, they’ll just walk on you.”Narrator:Rick isn’t afrai d to have a giant tarantula on his shoulder, but he is careful about its irritating hairs, so he lets the spider climb down his arm and onto the ground again. For tiny creatures, this spider is truly a threat. But for most humans, a tarantula’s bite is no worse than a bee sting. West hopes that as he teaches the world more about these creatures, fear will turn into fascination.Theraphosa blondi：亚马逊巨人食鸟蛛，又名哥利亚巨人食鸟蛛，主要生活于南美洲北部的雨林中，体型巨大。

新编大学英语视听说 book3 Unit 6听力答案与文本1Unit 6Part 1Listening IWoman: Why do you think people are afraid of tarantulasMan: Well, I guess it's because people are afraid of all spiders, and tarantulas happen to be the biggest of all the spiders. And maybe it's also because some spiders really are very poisonous. In California, for example—in most of the garages in California—you get black widows, which are quite small but certainly more dangerous than tarantulas. Woman: But personally you aren't afraid of tarantulasMan: Well, I shouldn't be frightened of tarantulas, simply because I know that they aren't really dangerous —all they can do is give you a small bite, but it's not poisonous. And yet I must say I don't like to pick them up. But you see, some people keep pet mice and pet rabbits and, well, they can give you a much worse bitethan a tarantula ever could. And yet people aren't frightened of them.Woman: Why do you think people are frightened of spidersMan: I don't know—it's very strange. People are frightened of spiders and they are frightened of snakes, and, well, obviously some spiders and some snakes really are poisonous. But most snakes are harmless, and it's really strange that people are so frightened of spiders because it's quite difficult to find a spider that's really dangerous.Exercise 11. B2. C3. D4.

They say animals have a healthy effect on people, especially people who are sick and lonely.Several years ago, the Delta Society developed a program called \people work in pet therapy programs throughout the country. They take animals to visit people in hospitals, prisons and private homes. Dogs and cats are taken most often. But other visitors include snakes, rabbits, horses and birds. Some of the animals stay with the people forever. The dolphin also has a good effect on people. Scientists at the Dolphin Research Center in Florida introduce sick people to playful dolphins. People feed the dolphins, touch them, and ride on the dolphins' backs in the water. In this way, the animals help the patients feel better.The head of the Delta Society, Linda Hines, says one reason for the pet therapy is that animals help sick people get better. Also, she says the animals have a calming effect on people, because pets can help peopleforget their own problems.Exercise 1 1. Exercise 21. A2. C3. C4. AListening II1Unit 6Part 1Listening IWoman: Why do you think people are afraid of tarantulasMan: Well, I guess it's because people are afraid of all spiders, and tarantulas happen to be the biggest of all the spiders. And maybe it's also because some spiders really are very poisonous. In California, for example—in most of the garages in California—you get black widows, which are quite small but certainly more dangerous than tarantulas. Woman: But personally you aren't afraid of tarantulasMan: Well, I shouldn't be frightened of tarantulas, simply because I know that they aren't really dangerous —all they can do is give you a small bite, but it's not poisonous. And yet I must say I don't like to pick them up. But you see, some people keep pet mice and petrabbits and, well, they can give you a much worse bite than a tarantula ever could. And yet people aren't frightened of them.Woman: Why do you think people are frightened of spidersMan: I don't know—it's very strange. People are frightened of spiders and they are frightened of snakes, and, well, obviously some spiders and some snakes really are poisonous. But most snakes are harmless, and it's really strange that people are so frightened of spiders because it's quite difficult to find a spider that's really dangerous.Exercise 11. B2. C3. D4.

Unit 61.ScriptM: Did you pick up the paper for me today? I really want to check the job vacancies. W: I know, it’s over there. There’s not much happen though. I’ve had a look already.Maybe you should look on the Net instead.Q: What is the man looking for?C) A job vacancy.2.ScriptM: You don’t have enough experience or qualifications for this role. What makes you believe you could handle the position?W: I’m a fast learner and enjoy learning on the job. My natural skills lie in this area, and I’m confident that I could handle the challenge. Given a chance, I would prove myself.Q: What is the woman saying?D) She is quite to learn.3. ScriptM: Could you help me with my resume? Jane said you’re good with these things, andI really need someone to edit it. It’s way too long.W: Sure, no problem. Give it to me. A good resume should be no more than one page, you know. And it should list you experience in reverse chronological order.Q: Which of the following is true according to the dialog?A) A resume should not be too long.4. ScriptM: Could you tell me why you would like to work for our company?W: Well, it has a good reputation as an employer, and its products are quite popular in the marketplace. I would feel proud to work for a company like this and to contribute to its success.Q: Why does the woman apply for the job?C) Because of the company’s good reputation and popular products.5. ScriptW: Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?M: I aim to have been promoted to senior manager at the very least. I’m very ambitious and want to climb the career ladder as fast as possible. I don’t want to feel miserable on the first rung in five years’ time, watching everybody above me. Q: What does the man want in fie years?B) To become a senior manager or higher.III. Listening InTask 1: Tips for job interviews.ScriptM:After listening to the career officer’s talk, I’ve now realized the importance of getting prepared for an interview.W:Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview. If you’re not punctual, they’ll suspect that you’ll be late for work in future.M: And before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless clothes will lead them into thinking that you’re likely to do your job carelessly.W: Yes. During the interview, it is important to look confident without being too pushy. It’s necessary to maintain eye contact. This shows your interest in the conversation and helps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.M: Besides, many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received. We need to highlight those courses, especially valuable to the job we’re applying for. W: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and emphasize the skills that are useful in the job we’re seeking.M: Sure! Many students will tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English.W: They’re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, Excel, and so on. Students from lower-tier universities especially need certificates to show they’ve acquired those skills before they can hope to compete against students from prestigious universities.M: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary society, where teamwork is a must.W: Well, too many students are saying more or less the same thing. If everybody says, “I’m warm-hearted and cooperative, get along well with my classmates, and have good team spirit,” the boss will soon get fed up.M: Perhaps we should let the work we’ve done speak for itself.W: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important leader of the Student Union of the University or the Department or you’ve organized a singing competition, etc., obviously you’re a good team player.Key1.T2.F3.T4. T5. F6.T7. TTask2 Are you ready for a phone interview?ScripNowadays, many employers use telephone interviews to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interview. They are also used as a way to minimize the expenses in involved in interviewing out-of-town candidates.While you’re job-searching, it’s important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment’s notice. You never know when a recruiter might call. So, you’d better take a look at the following phone interview tips.Before the interview, you should get well-prepared. For example, you can compile a list of your background and skills, your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical phone interview questions. You need to keep your resume on the top of your desk or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it’s at your fingertips when you need to answer questions. Also, you should have a pen and paper handy for note taking.It’s helpful to practice interviewing. You can rehearse answers to those typical questions you might be asked. Have a friend or family member conduct a mock interview and tape record it, so you can see how you sound over the phone. In this way, you will be able to hear your “ums” and “uhs” and “OKs”, and you can practice reducing them from your conversational speech.During the phone interview, try to smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. Over the phone, you must speak slowly, clearly and politely. You should use interviewer’s title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name), and remember to only use a first name if they ask you to. It is essential to interrupt the interviewer. On your part, you should try to give answers that are short and to the point.Finally, remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer, ask if it would be possible to meet in person.Question and key1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a purpose of screening candidateson the phone?B) To test candidates’ psychological stability when they speak on the phone.2. What can you infer from the speaker’s recommendation of compiling a list of information about yourself?C) Without it, you may become disorganized while being interviewed.3. What does the speak say about your resume?C) Put it near the phone.4. According to the speaker, why should you conduct a simulated interview?A) To reduce unnecessary words in an interview.5. Which of the following is suggested when you address the interviewer on thephone?D) All of the above.Task3 Do you know how to write a resume? ScriptYour resume, or CV in British English, has one mission and one mission only: to get you a job interview. Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you‘d better get it right firs time. Here’re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume.First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don’t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. It should emphasize the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills an employer is seeking. This means you would write one resume for one particular job and a different resume for another job. In other words, you need to “repackage” yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately whether you are suitable person for the job. It is not dishonest to “repackage” yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you t get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range of jobs.Question and key1.Why does the speaker say a resume is important?C) Because it leaves a first impression and you have only one chance to do so.2.Which of the following will NOT be regarded as a feature of good resumes?A) Details3.Where should you put the important information in your job descriptionsaccording to the passage?A) At the beginning.4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for threejobs?C) Three.5. What is the passage mainly about?B) Resume tips.IV.

But they didn’t seem to be interested in women. I thought about suing then for sexual discrimination.John: I’m afraid it won’t be much help. Have you looked at the want ads in the newspaper?Susan: I’ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but (2) I can’t find anything interesting that I’m qualified for. And the few that I have seen arevery low-paying.John: Then try the Internet. (3) You can use a search engine to find a job site related to your field.Susan: Good thinking! Thanks! I think I’ll look for something in electronic engineering.John: Hey, (4) I just saw a job opening at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the sort of thing you’re looking for.Susan: Great, I’ll try my luck there.John: Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.Susan: This afternoon? Oh no! I’d better get online quickly and see if (5) I can submit my resume by e-mail.John:Wait, (6)have you updated your resume?

You see, (5) ability for teamwork is usually valued.Susan: What kind of questions should I ask them?John: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company. Susan: (6) Should I ask about salary and fringe benefits?John: Better not. Not unless they bring it up. Just use the first interview to sell yourself.Susan: You’re right. If they are interested in hiring me, there will be plenty of chances to talk about money later.John: Right. And the more interested they are, the more they’ll offer.Model3 Our best bet is to recruit from thecompetition.ScriptHelen: Our company is starting from scratch, so we don’t have the expertise to compete.Bill: Then(1) our best bet is to recruit from the competition.Helen: We need managers who know how to be strong, yet know how to give employees their freedom.Bill:That’s essential, especially in the computer industry. Often computer experts like to work on their own.Helen: (2)We also don’t believe that a rigid management system will work wonders for our company.Bill: Um… (3) that philosophy will help you attract many worthwhile people. Helen: I remember your friend David Miller is the CEO of a management recruitment agency. I hope (4) he’ll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it’s a good time, too. (5) A number of firms have been downsizing.Helen: Good. So lots of capable people out there are interested in bigger and better things. But (6) can David help us pin them down?Bill: Sure, Helen! That’s why they call them headhunters.ⅤLet’s talkSelecting recruitsScriptVoice-over: T-Mobile is a subsidiary of Deutsche Telecom, the giant German telephone company. T-Mobile is their goal mobile phone operation.Nine hundred people work at the company’s call centre inGreenock, which was set up only five years ago; 760 of them areemployed in handling customer calls and they are managed by 70team managers and 10 operation managers. In a large-scaleoperation like this, the role of recruitment is the reasonability of adedicated on-site human resources department.Woman: We have a training team, headed up by two leading advisers and supported by a number of customer-facing advisers who’ve beenmoved into the role of training. The theory behind is, these are thepeople who are doing the job, are in the best place to train that job toother people.[On-screen text: Helen Young, Human Resources Adviser]Helen: Our recruitment is divided into two main sections. We have a CSA recruitment: Customer Service Adviser, and we also have all the otherrecruitment. It’s crucial to us that we get the right people for the job,absolutely crucial, and we do whatever possible to ensure that peoplehave realistic expectations of the job before they, before they’re madean offer.Helen: In the initial stages they’d be given a telephone interview which would last somewhere in the region of 15 minuets. Following that, they’d beinvited to come on-site. They’d have a tour of the centre. They thenget, if you like, an opportunity to try us on for size. They get to see therole, they get to see how it feels, feel the culture of the company and ifthey’re still happy at that stage and want to apply, then they need to doso formally.

I’m impressed by this city’s dynamic economy. I’ve come to love it so much that I’ve decided to stay and work here. M: What work experience do you have?W: I worked as an intern for a small shipping company. My primary responsibilities were to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: What did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important. Text knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to be able to persuade a potential client t to trust you.M: How would your former employer describe you?W: He told me that my ability to find one customer after another was an asset to the company. He thanked me for my loyalty. He also appreciated my team spirit as shown in my cooperation with my colleagues.M: You seem very mature for your age. And I see from your resume that you are very goal-oriented.W: Thank you. I believe I’ve acquired many good qualities from my parents. They’re my role models.

An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications had the same qualification, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s answer took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Key1.F2.T3.T4.F5.TTask3: A guide to a successful job interviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don’t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this position, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this job, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weaknesses?” by the interview, don’t say, “I don’t have any.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes strength to recognize them.

Most victims were crushed to death by the collapse of their houses, and burned to death by the fires that followed the earthquake. Half of the people killed were over age 60.Among the victims, 59% were women, and 41% were men. The city's officials attributed the large number of deaths among the elderly to the growing number of younger people living in the suburbs, the fact that many elderly people lived alone in thequake-stricken areas, and the fact that a large number of homes in the area were built before and immediately after World War II. In the quake area, the old traditional Japanese wooden houses, designed to resist (抗拒) typhoons (台风), presented a poor resistance to the earthquake forces.It was reported that there were 164 independent fires, and that more than 50 percent of fires broke out 24 hours after the earthquake. A large number of fires were attributed to gas leaks, which were sparked (触发) by electrical short-circuits. More than 1,300,000 square meters were burned down.About 170,000 houses were destroyed or severely damaged. Many office and apartment buildings were also severely damaged. The number of refugees (难民) is reported to be in excess of 300,000.The earthquake has been called Japan's greatest postwar disaster. At the present, it is difficult to assess the total amount of damage to the Japanese economy.1.How did most victims die in the earthquake?2.What was the proportion of female victims to male victims inthe quake?3.When were the unsafe homes of old people built?4.What was the main cause for the fires?5.How many refugees were made by the earthquake?Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Cornton Vale is a new type of prison specially designed for women criminals in Scotland. The 226 prisoners there live in small units of seven rooms. There is a kitchen where they cook their own meals and a lounge (休息室) with fitted carpet and armchairs.The "wake-up, wake-up" call by loudspeaker (喇叭) at 7 every morning is followed by a music program, which creates the atmosphere (气氛) of a holiday camp. During the day, most of the prisoners are employed in three workshops, making toys or clothing. Their earnings—up to 90 pence a week—can be spent in the prison shop.The gymnasium, which also acts as a cinema and concert hall, has facilities (设施) for table tennis, basketball and dancing.Prisoners, particularly those with long sentences, are encouraged to be independent and take responsibility for themselves and others. This is in many ways much more demanding than simply serving time. Just as the deputy governor (长官) of this prison once said, "We try to preserve the prisoners' self-respect as much as possible, by imagining ourselves in their position." His words explain why this new prison is run in a unique way.6.What is Cornton Vale?7.What is used to make Cornton Vale seem like a holiday camp?8.Where do the women of Cornton Vale work, and what do theydo?9.Other than using the gym for tennis, basketball, and dancing,what is it used for?10.What is the purpose for running the prison this way?Part 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(每小题：分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage or dialog.The cost of helping someone with AIDS drugs is high. Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. InAfrica though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send hime-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders and he records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actions have not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.1.Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?A. They don't want to take something that was thrown away.B. They don't think that the drugs work.C. They can't work when taking them.D. They don't have enough money.2.What does Wildes do every month?A. Mail medicines to Africa.B. Take a trip to Africa.C. Throw away AIDS drugs.D. Send e-mails to Africans.3.What did Wildes learn five years ago?A. Drugs are thrown away.B. He has AIDS.C. Africans need drugs.D. Hospitals are not fair.4.With whom does Wildes have phone conversations?A. A San Francisco nurse.B. 100 sick Africans.C. American doctors.D. African doctors.5.What do people think of Wildes' actions?A. They think he shouldn't break the law.B. They think he is doing good work.C. They think he will be taken to court.D. They think he is prevented from helping.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.The great river Nile (尼罗河) flows gently in its course through the hot plains in the first half of the year but later on when the melting (融化) snows and the rains on the mountains far to the south swell its tributaries (支流), the Nile overflows (泛滥). It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. The settlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers.In these early times they did not of course understand why the riveroverflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods.But there came some years when there was a "bad Nile". Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enough soil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual rising of the Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries of the farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.6.We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich7.The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because ______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in the soilthereB. they did not realize that the river would overflow sometimesC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods8.The Nile was called the "bad Nile" at times because _______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia9.The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floods by_______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land10.According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar of theyearsB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned how tocontrol the floodC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread the knowledge allover the worldQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.I don't have a strong village feeling. There is a little pub and that is where most people go, although I tend to avoid it. The village always wants to know what you are doing and if you don't have too much contact with it in the pub, then they don't learn too much. I just keep them guessing.The new people want a great community center. People who have just arrived in a village always want to do something in it or to it. What exactly they are going to have in this center I don't know. They keep talking about "amenities" (公共设施). I suppose theymean a car-park and a big smart room. The young village people don't want this. When their work is over they want to go off in their cars to the bright lights of Ipswich. The new people are often just kidding themselves that they are real village people. They don't just want to be accepted; they really want to take over the traditions. This is why they have come to live in a village. They want to do things "for the village" and it is all very exhausting if you happen to be an "old villager" and you just want to be left alone. What I cannot understand is why a person who has got the wit (才智) to make enough money to come and live comfortably in the country, and have a centrally-heated house and a car, should want to put on entertainment in a hut (小屋). These people are just playing at village life—kidding themselves that they are genuine country folk. They wear us out. When their work is done they want to play in the village and when our work is done we want to play outside it. I suppose that sums it up.11.We can learn from this passage that the writer ______.A. doesn't learn about what village people are doingB. tells the other village people about the pubC. never tells people anything about himselfD. doesn't often go to the village pub12.According to the passage, the young village people _______.A. want their pleasure outside the villageB. don't like going to the community centerC. don't like the new peopleD. want to see the latest group in the village13.In the writer's opinion, the new people _______.A. want to get rid of the old ways of the villageB. want to be left alone by people in the villageC. know that they aren't accepted by people in the villageD. do things that change the village from how it is14.The old village people _______.A. don't want to get rid of their old things for new thingsB. are not ready to accept the new people in their villageC. want a new community center with a place to parkD. want to go back to their own traditions15.It can be inferred from this passage that the author _______.A. likes to play at village lifeB. disagrees with the new peopleC. likes laughing at the new peopleD. wants the new people to go awayPart 4 Multiple Choice(每小题：分)Directions: Choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.1.One of his eyes was injured in an accident, but after a ______operation, he quickly recovered his sight.A. delicateB. considerateC. preciseD. sensible2.Could you please _____ an appointment for me to see Mr.Smith?A. manageB. arrangeC. takeD. prepare3.Mr. Lewis broke the world ______ for the 100 meters.A. markB. standardC. levelD. record4.In American universities, classes are often arranged in moreflexible _____ and many jobs on campus are reserved forstudents.A. scalesB. patternsC. gradesD. ranksst year the advertising rate ________ by 20 percent.A. roseB. raisedC. arousedD. arose6.The guard walked through the train ______ everyone's ticket.A. inspectingB. overlookingC. reviewingD. analyzing7.Our holiday was _______ by showers of rain.A. spoiledB. destroyedC. crashedD. discouraged8.Students or teachers can participate in excursions (短途旅行)to lovely beaches around the island at regular ________.A. gapsB. rateC. intervalsD. length9.We were tired of hearing him ________ about how strong hewas.A. commentB. remarkC. referD. boast10.He played the guitar (吉他) so well that everyone was_______.A. affectedB. arousedC. effectedD. impressed11.Most nurses are women, but in the higher ranks of the medicalprofession women are in a _______.A. scarcityB. minorityC. minimumD. shortage12.My uncle rarely used to oversleep, _________?A. wasn't heB. didn't heC. was heD. did he13.Jack was about to announce our plan but I ________.A. put him throughB. turned him outC. gave him upD. cut him short14.Only after a long chat, _________ that Mr. Smith was in fact aboss of a big factory.A. he realizedB. he has realizedC. did he realizeD. has realized he15.The room ________ cool in summer and warm in winter.B. has been feltC. is feltD. has been feeling16.The goods piled up there require _______ carefully.A. to be looked afterB. looking afterC. being looked afterD. looked after17.There's a man at the reception desk who seems very angryand I think he means ________ trouble.A. makingB. to makeC. to have madeD. having made18.I found him always _______ of others.A. thoughtC. thinksD. thoughtful19.My wallet is nowhere to be found.

Everyone loves cell phones!More and more people are buying cell phones. With a cell phone, you can keep in touch with friends, family, and co-workers, everywhere you go. It’s important to choose the right cell phone, and the right pany.2. Choose the right plan.Look at plans from different panies, and answer these questions: Will I use my cell phone every day, or only in an emergency? When will I make calls — during the day, at night, or on weekends? Does the price fit my monthly budget?3. What phone is right for you?Before you buy a phone, think about these things: What size do you want? Is it easy to use? Does it have the features you need — for example, voice dialing or Internet service?4. D on’t talk and drive.You need two hands to drive a car. Taking your hand off the steering wheel to use your phone is risky. In some places it’s illegal. If you need to make or receive a call, stop at the side of the road.5. Use your cell phone politely.Turn your phone off in meetings, movies, restaurants, or any place where a ringing phone might disturb people. It’s okay to use your cell phone in a public place; just remember to speak softly and keep your conversation private.Audio Track 3-6-10/Audio Track 3-6-11How do you feel about cell phones?It can’t be denied: there has been a cell phone boom in the last decade.

Nineteen percent use cell phones only when they have to. A small percentage —only three percent — think cell phones are unnecessary. Another three percent say they are addicted to theircell phones! There have been some problems associated with cell phones. Some cities have passed laws affecting cell phone use. For example, in some places, it is now illegal to drive and use your cell phone at the same time. A survey asked people about cell phones and laws. Here is how they answered. There should be laws about cell phone usage …in classrooms, theaters, and restaurants 57% agreewhile driving 45% agreeon public transportation 34% agreeOne thing is sure about cell phones: everyone has an opinion about how and when they should be used!Listen to what these four people had to say:Phil: I’m Phil.

My nearest neighbor is 25 miles away. My cell phone makes me feel safe. I can call someone in an emergency.Eric: I’m Eric. I think cell phones are unnecessary.

Perhaps Evan should have one.Dad: Why?Mom: I think cell phones can be very useful. I worry that I won’t be able to reach him, in an emergency. There would be no need to worry if he had a cell phone. I could relax.Dad: OK, I see what you mean. But I’m still not convinced they are safe for children to use. Let’s ask Evan’s doctor for her opinion.Mom: Sure. Good idea.Doctor: I don’t like cell phones that much. They’re very useful in emergencies, but in general, I think that they’re not a good thing, especially for kids. St udies in Britain say that cell phones may have a dangerous effect on children’s brains.Dad: I see.

Alejandra: I like cell phones because they allow me to call people when I’m running l ate and let them know that I’m running late. I don’t like when cell phones ring in theaters, or movie theaters, or important talks, or even in the classroom. That’s … I think … a lack of respect, so that’s when I hate cell phones.Video Track 3-6-2Jacki e: My cell phone has a camera on it. It’s very useful when I don’t have a camera with me and if there’s something funny happening, then I can take a picture.Alex: What I like about cell phones is you can contact anybody you want anytime you want. Calvin: I feel like I lost some privacy because of cell phones.Dennis: I like cell phones because they connect you with people. Wherever you are people canreach you.

Most victims were crushed to death by the collapse of their houses, and burned to death by the fires that followed the earthquake. Half of the people killed were over age 60.Among the victims, 59% were women, and 41% were men. The city's officials attributed the large number of deaths among the elderly to the growing number of younger people living in the suburbs, the fact that many elderly people lived alone in the quake-stricken areas, and the fact that a large number of homes in the area were built before and immediately after World War II. In the quake area, the old traditional Japanese wooden houses, designed to resist (抗拒) typhoons (台风), presented a poor resistance to the earthquake forces.It was reported that there were 164 independent fires, and that more than 50 percent of fires broke out 24 hours after the earthquake. A large number of fires were attributed to gas leaks, which were sparked (触发) by electrical short-circuits. More than 1,300,000 square meters were burned down. About 170,000 houses were destroyed or severely damaged. Many office and apartment buildings were also severelydamaged. The number of refugees (难民) is reported to be in excess of 300,000.The earthquake has been called Japan's greatest postwar disaster. At the present, it is difficult to assess the total amount of damage to the Japanese economy.1.How did most victims die in the earthquake?2.What was the proportion of female victims to malevictims in the quake?3.When were the unsafe homes of old people built?4.What was the main cause for the fires?5.How many refugees were made by the earthquake?Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Cornton Vale is a new type of prison specially designed for women criminals in Scotland. The 226 prisoners there live in small units of seven rooms. There is a kitchen where they cooktheir own meals and a lounge (休息室) with fitted carpet and armchairs.The "wake-up, wake-up" call by loudspeaker (喇叭) at 7 every morning is followed by a music program, which creates the atmosphere (气氛) of a holiday camp. During the day, most of the prisoners are employed in three workshops, making toys or clothing. Their earnings—up to 90 pence a week—can be spent in the prison shop.The gymnasium, which also acts as a cinema and concert hall, has facilities (设施) for table tennis, basketball and dancing. Prisoners, particularly those with long sentences, are encouraged to be independent and take responsibility for themselves and others. This is in many ways much more demanding than simply serving time. Just as the deputy governor (长官) of this prison once said, "We try to preserve the prisoners' self-respect as much as possible, by imagining ourselves in their position." His words explain why this new prison is run in a unique way.6.What is Cornton Vale?7.What is used to make Cornton Vale seem like a holidaycamp?8.Where do the women of Cornton Vale work, and what dothey do?9.Other than using the gym for tennis, basketball, anddancing, what is it used for?The gym nasi um,whi ch al so act s as a ci nem a and conc10.What is the purpose for running the prison this way?The gym nasi um,whi ch al so act s as a ci nem a and concPart 2 Reading Comprehension (Short Answer Questions) (每小题: 2 分; 满分：20 分) 小题得分对错我的答案主观1.

Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him tobegin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders and he records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actions have not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.1.Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?A. They don't want to take something that was thrownB. They don't think that the drugs work.C. They can't work when taking them.D. They don't have enough money.2.What does Wildes do every month?A. Mail medicines to Africa.B. Take a trip to Africa.C. Throw away AIDS drugs.D. Send e-mails to Africans.3.What did Wildes learn five years ago?A. Drugs are thrown away.B. He has AIDS.C. Africans need drugs.D. Hospitals are not fair.4.With whom does Wildes have phone conversations?A. A San Francisco nurse.B. 100 sick Africans.C. American doctors.D. African doctors.5.What do people think of Wildes' actions?A. They think he shouldn't break the law.B. They think he is doing good work.C. They think he will be taken to court.D. They think he is prevented from helping.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.The great river Nile (尼罗河) flows gently in its course through the hot plains in the first half of the year but later on when the melting (融化) snows and the rains on the mountains far to the south swell its tributaries (支流), the Nile overflows (泛滥). It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. The settlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers. In these early times they did not of course understand why the river overflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods. But there came some years when there was a "bad Nile". Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enoughsoil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual rising of the Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries of the farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.6.We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich7.The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in theB. they did not realize that the river would overflowC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods8.The Nile was called the "bad Nile" at times because_______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia9.The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floodsby _______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land10.According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar ofB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned how toC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread theQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.I don't have a strong village feeling. There is a little pub and that is where most people go, although I tend to avoid it. The village always wants to know what you are doing and if you don't have too much contact with it in the pub, then they don't learn too much. I just keep them guessing.The new people want a great community center. People who have just arrived in a village always want to do something in itor to it. What exactly they are going to have in this center I don't know. They keep talking about "amenities" (公共设施). I suppose they mean a car-park and a big smart room. The young village people don't want this. When their work is over they want to go off in their cars to the bright lights of Ipswich. The new people are often just kidding themselves that they are real village people. They don't just want to be accepted; they really want to take over the traditions. This is why they have come to live in a village. They want to do things "for the village" and it is all very exhausting if you happen to be an "old villager" and you just want to be left alone. What I cannot understand is why a person who has got the wit (才智) to make enough money to come and live comfortably in the country, and have a centrally-heated house and a car, should want to put on entertainment in a hut (小屋). These people are just playing at village life—kidding themselves that they are genuine country folk. They wear us out. When their work is done they want to play in the village and when our work is done we want to play outside it. I suppose that sums it up.11.We can learn from this passage that the writer ______.A. doesn't learn about what village people are doingB. tells the other village people about the pubC. never tells people anything about himselfD. doesn't often go to the village pub12.According to the passage, the young village people_______.A. want their pleasure outside the villageB. don't like going to the community centerC. don't like the new peopleD. want to see the latest group in the village13.In the writer's opinion, the new people _______.A. want to get rid of the old ways of the villageB. want to be left alone by people in the villageC. know that they aren't accepted by people in the villageD. do things that change the village from how it is14.The old village people _______.A. don't want to get rid of their old things for new thingsB. are not ready to accept the new people in their villageC. want a new community center with a place to parkD. want to go back to their own traditions15.It can be inferred from this passage that the author_______.A. likes to play at village lifeB. disagrees with the new peopleC. likes laughing at the new peopleD. wants the new people to go awayPart 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题: 2 分; 满分：30 分)小题得分对错我的答案客观1. 2 D D2. 2 A A3. 2 B B4. 2 D D5. 2 B B6. 2 D D7. 2 A A8. 2 C C9. 2 B B10. 2 A A11. 2 D D12. 2 A A13. 2 D D14. 2 A A15. 2 B BSubtotal: 30 老师评语：Part 4 Multiple Choice(每小题：分)Directions: Choose the best answer from the four choicesmarked A, B, C and D.1.One of his eyes was injured in an accident, but after a______ operation, he quickly recovered his sight.A. delicateB. considerateC. preciseD. sensible2.Could you please _____ an appointment for me to see Mr.Smith?A. manageB. arrangeC. takeD. prepare3.Mr. Lewis broke the world ______ for the 100 meters.A. markB. standardC. levelD. record4.In American universities, classes are often arranged inmore flexible _____ and many jobs on campus arereserved for students.A. scalesB. patternsC. gradesD. ranksst year the advertising rate ________ by 20 percent.A. roseB. raisedC. arousedD. arose6.The guard walked through the train ______ everyone'sticket.A. inspectingB. overlookingC. reviewingD. analyzing7.Our holiday was _______ by showers of rain.A. spoiledB. destroyedC. crashedD. discouraged8.Students or teachers can participate in excursions (短途旅行) to lovely beaches around the island at regular ________.A. gapsB. rateC. intervalsD. length9.We were tired of hearing him ________ about how stronghe was.A. commentB. remarkC. referD. boast10.He played the guitar (吉他) so well that everyone was_______.A. affectedB. arousedC. effectedD. impressed11.Most nurses are women, but in the higher ranks of themedical profession women are in a _______.A. scarcityB. minorityC. minimumD. shortage12.My uncle rarely used to oversleep, _________?A. wasn't heB. didn't heC. was heD. did he13.Jack was about to announce our plan but I ________.A. put him throughB. turned him outC. gave him upD. cut him short14.Only after a long chat, _________ that Mr. Smith was in facta boss of a big factory.A. he realizedB. he has realizedC. did he realizeD. has realized he15.The room ________ cool in summer and warm in winter.A. feelsB. has been feltC. is feltD. has been feeling16.The goods piled up there require _______ carefully.A. to be looked afterB. looking afterC. being looked afterD. looked after17.There's a man at the reception desk who seems veryangry and I think he means ________ trouble.A. makingB. to makeC. to have madeD. having made18.I found him always _______ of others.A. thoughtB. thinkC. thinksD. thoughtful19.My wallet is nowhere to be found.
