Listening InTask 1: Malls in the U.S.Malls are popular places for Americans to go. People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have private security guards and sometimes even police stations. Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees. The largest mall in the United States is the Mal of America in Minnesota. It covers 4.2 million square feet. It has 350 stores, eight nightclubs, and a seven-acre park! There are parking spaces for 12,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop there every week. The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Minnesota, but now malls are like town centers where people come to do many things. They shop, eat foods from all over the world, and see movies at theaters. Some people even get their daily exercise from the new sport of “mall walking.” Others go to malls to meet friends. In some malls, people can see a doctor or a dentistand even attend church. In a word, people can do just about everything in malls.1.A2.C3.B4.D5.DTask 2: Online ShoppingW: Hey, Don, online shopping is so popular nowadays. Where is a good place to buy electronics online?M: Hmmm. I usually go to . Sometimes I use eBay.W: Really, I’ve never used either of those. What are they all about?M: Well, eBay is an auction site. People put their stuff up for sale, and then other people log in and if they’re interested in one item, they bid on it. If you want to bid, you put in the amount that is the most you’re willing to pay. Then, by a certain deadline, the highest bid gets the item. W: Interesting. Then, if your bid is the highest, how do you pay?M: Well, you can usually send a check or money order. Or, you can use a system called PayPal which lets you pay by credit card online.W: Hoe do you get your stuff?M: Well, after the auction, eBay puts you directly in touch with the seller, and then you arrange for them to send it to you. You can check it out at .W: I sure will. And how about that Amazon place you said?M: is like an actual store, just online. They sell just about everything, either new or used items. I find the prices are usually a good deal cheaper than in a store.W: That’s what I’ve heard. I think that buying some things online, like books, or DVDs, is a really good idea, but I could never buy clothes online.M: I know what you mean. Things that you need to see, touch and feel first, before you buy, are hard to buy online. But then again, there’re lots of people who buy everything online!W: Do you think it’s safe? I mean, I’ve heard that people can steal your credit card number over the Internet.M: Well, I think that is does happen, but it’s very rare. All in all, it’s pretty safe.W: And what if you want to return something?M: I think that’s probably easier if you bought it in a real store. But, these online stores and sellers often have very good return policies. You just need to package it all back up again.W: A pain in the neck if you ask me!1.It’s an auction site where people put their stuff up for sale, and then other people log in andbid on it.2.They can send a check or money order, or use a system called PayPal which lets them pay bycredit card online.3.The online store puts the buyer directly in touch with the seller, and then the buyer can ask theseller to send the items over.4.She could never buy clothes online.5.You just need to package it all back up again.Task 3: Beware of bargains!Ever since ancient times, people have always loved a bargain. If they think they are getting a “good deal” they will grab it up, whatever it is. Some people buy clothes they will never wear, orfurniture they have no need or room for. Some even buy cars they can’t afford simply because the auto dealer is having a sale. There is an old saying: “You get what you pay for.”And another saying: “If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is.”Sometimes stores feature poorer quality goods at prices that are not really reduced. Some stores offer “unbelievable bargain prices”on unit costs, then add on hidden charges so that the final price is the same as the regular price—or sometimes even higher. There are bargains to be had, but the safest way is to find a retailer that you can trust, and to be cautious. The Romans had a saying: “Let the buyer beware!”The idea is as true today as it ever was.People have always loved a bargain. If they think they are getting a “good deal”, they will grab it whatever it is. But you get what you pay for. Sometimes stores feature poorer quality merchandise at prices that are not really reduced. Some stores offer “unbelievable bargain prices” on unit costs, then add on hidden charges so that the final price is the same as or even higher than the regular price. There are bargains to be had, but the safest way is to find a retailer that you can trust, and to be cautious.Task 4: An AnnouncementWelcome to our Gift Shop!

Let’s TalkJack: There certainly are a lot of CDs on sale here today. I hope the new Linkin Park is on sale.What were you thinking of picking up?Jane: Well, you know me, Jack. I love classic music. I was thinking of either the Beatles or Elvis’“Greatest Hits.”Jack: Jane, when are you going to get with the times? Classic Rock is not classic; it’s just old. Jane: Yes, well, Pop Rock all sounds the same to me. For me, the Classic Rock really stands out.It’s what started it all.Jack: It’s also been played a million times. Don’t you get tired of it?Jane: No, never. Oh, there’s a salesperson; let’s ask him what they have on sale.Salesman: Can I help you?Jack: Yes, my friend and I were looking for some CDs. We were hoping they would be on sale.My friend is looking for some older selections like the Beatles or Elvis’“Greatest Hits.” I was really hoping you’d have the new Linkin Park on sale, but if not, I’m also looking for Nickelback.Salesman: Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that all of the CDs you have asked for are on sale. The bad news is we have just sold out of Elvis’“Greatest Hits”, but we can order one for you.Jane: (to her friend) Sold out of Elvis! That must mean he’s pretty popular. (to the salesman) You need to order it in? How does that work?Salesman: Well, if you give me your telephone number, when we get it, one of our staff will give you a call. Then you can some and pick it up. It shouldn’t be more than a week. Jane: Okay, well, I’ll take the Beatles CD right now, and you can order the Elvis for me. I’ll give you my phone number.Jack: And I will take the new Linkin Park for now. I’m afraid I only have enough for one CD. Salesman: The sale lasts till the end of the month. In the meantime, I’ll get your CDs for you, and I’ll take down your number for that Elvis order. Boy, he’s always a popular seller! Jane: I know!Column A Column BJack 2.3.4.8Jane 1.5.6.7For ReferenceAB, persuade A to buy the jeans.I’m telling you, the jeans will look great on you.A, give your impression of the jeans.They’re nice, but I think I’m going to look around a little first.B, push A to buy the jeans.We only have a few pairs left.A, try to beat down the price.They’re just too experience. If you give me a discount, maybe I’ll be interested.B, make an offer.Since these jeans seem exactly specially made for you, I’ll give you a five percent discount.A, bargain with B.Make it ten percent, and I’ll take them.BB, ask A whether he/she has done something wrong with the Walkman.Well, Sir/Miss. What exactly did you do with the Walkman when you got it home?A, complain and explain the problem.Why? I did nothing. I put it some batteries and turned it on, but it just wouldn’t work.B, offer a suggestion.Well, I’m afraid we don’t have any more of these models in stock. Would you mind changing it for another type?A, ask if you can get a refund.Not if it costs more money. Can I just get my money back?B, Answer A’s question and make an offer.I’m afraid it’s out store policy that we can only exchange it. But for only twenty dollars more, you can get a new model.A, give your opinion on B’s offer.But that’s what you told me about this model last week!VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Does complaining work?Many people tolerate bad service or inferior products rather than make a complaint. They feel that complaining won’t do any good. In fact, they’re wrong: complaining works because companies don’t want dissatisfied customers. If you have a complaint, do something about it right away. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get your complaint settled. First, you can complain to one of the clerks. If they cannot help you, then ask politely to speak to a manager. Also, many stores have Customer Service representatives whose job is to solve problems in customer relations. These people are eager to assist because companies realize that dissatisfied customers can damage their reputations. You should always insist on your own rights as a customer. You have the right to receive a product you ordered in timely manner and in good condition. With airlines, you have the right to be on the flight you’ve booked. You can also expect a discount if you receive less than you have agreed upon—a hotel room with a view of a brick wall instead of an ocean view, for example.1. tolerate complaint2. do any good dissatisfied customers3. longer harder settled4. Customer Service solve problems5. the right in a timely mannerTask 2: Credit CardsBecause credit cards have so many advantages, their use has become widespread. Unfortunately, however, credit cards are major sources of problems to society as a whole. First, there is the issue of fraud. Stolen credit cards add to the cost of all merchandise as companies write off these losses by adding to the cost of all goods. Second, there are the personal misfortunes. Credit card companies charge exceptionally high rates of interest (about 20%), but because the cards are so easy to use, many people but beyond their ability to repay. Also, there are often too generous limits to the amount of credit one can have; as a result, many people run up such high debts that they go bankrupt. Currently, it is easy for people to own many credit cards. When one credit card is “maxed out” they simply switch to another. Although individual credit cards have limits, the number of credit cards is not limited. People with ten credit cards, each with a $5,000 limit, have $50,000 of credit, even though they might not be able to pay all of their bills. This can easily lead to bankruptcy. Perhaps people should be given an absolute credit limit set as a certain percentages of their imcome.1.

Open or distance learning has had a major effect on higher education through the Open University, the only university to provide education exclusively for adult learners studying at a distance. Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exception of some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate (大学本科在校的) students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities.The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities. As costs of technology come down this might change. The Open Learning Foundation is developing connections between universities to set open learning approaches within existing programs of study and thus encourage their greater use. This is seen as likely to develop further in the future.1.The Open University provides an education for_________________.A. students who do not like attending regular universitiesB. students who failed the College Entrance ExaminationC. students who are adults and away from a universityD. students who are limited in their ability to learn2.Among other things, the further growth of distance learning atpostgraduate and professional levels is limited by____________________.A. the high costs involvedB. a low student demandC. a lack of educationD. the poor rural technology3.The attempt of one case study university to provide equipmentand staff to a rural group of students _________.A. would be expandedB. did not work wellC. might help learningD. could cost a lot4.The cost of setting up a distance learning program mightchange ______________.A. as new developments are madeB. as more students take classes thereC. as the Open University helps moreD. as technology becomes cheaper5.The tone of this passage can best be described as________________.A. discouragingB. encouragingC. persuasiveD. scientificQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a step back from the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every imaginable contact between human beings becomes automatic by machine, the alienation quotient goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anywhere. Phone assistance is almost always fully automatic by machine. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good morning to the worker when you can use your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Placing money at the bank? Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just put your credit card into the ATM?Pretty soon you won't have the hard task of making eye contact at the grocery store. Some grocery chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those annoying clerks who look at you and ask how you are doing.6.The effect of increased communication technology is____________.A. the retreat of human closenessB. the lack of care for neighborsC. the saving of more free timeD. the advance of our contacts7.If his mom has a question, he will ____________.A. find new ways to reach herB. send her an email messageC. try to get her a voice machineD. answer through voice mail8.Judging from the context, the word "alienation" (Line 2,Paragraph 2) means ___________.A. relationshipB. closenessC. strangenessD. stress9.ATMs in banks have changed life by __________.A. making it more difficult to want human contactB. making it faster to receive money from banksC. making it easier to obtain bank credit cardsD. making it unnecessary to talk with bank clerks10.The writer's attitude toward advances in communicationstechnology may be described as _______________.A. unconcernedB. criticalC. positiveD. uninterestedQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.It might be surprising for some people to believe that, in today'scomputer-and-Internet-driven society, there are some book publishers that are still committed to traditional books. Maybe the most famous encyclopedia company, The Encyclopaedia Britannica, which dates back to the 18th century, is planning to release their largest set of books in 2001. This 40-volume set will be the largest printed in its 231-year history.Because of the success of recent Internet and computer encyclopedias, some people have suggested that the publishers could turn their back on print. However, company representative Paul Hoffman said the company is committed to paper and ink."There is still a place for books, even with all of the computer encyclopedias. And many people around the world still want books," he said.Encyclopedias, in book form, are common in library collections and on school shelves. They are often used in student research. And none are used more than those published by the Encyclopedia Britannica.Even so, the company is selling fewer and fewer books and more and more computer encyclopedias, possibly because of the price. The books, US $1450 for a 32-book set, are too expensive for people. The computerized version, which contains all the same information, costs only a 10th of the price.11.What about the Encyclopedia Britannica is so surprising?A.

The company is planning to quit making books.12.What will make the 2001 set of books different from the othersets?A.

Here in Chicago, things are different. There is no time for getting to know one another. This does not seem appropriate to me. There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no rituals like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a(n) convention in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a(n) leisurely chat. I think that it is important for business partners to getfamiliar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too abrupt, there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being assessed when there is too much pressure. I don't believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the perception is that they just don't care about you as an individual here. Y ou are basically just another means of making money.All of this used to create a real dilemma for me. At first, it caused me to have as little interaction with American business partners as possible. Gradually, though, I have come to understand the cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.完形填空I am frequently asked the question ,”Can you use chopsticks”I have lived in Korea ,Japan and China .In each country , I have ,more often than not and without having requested one ,been given a fork when one was available .I have politely refused and said that I would be fine with chopsticks .Sometime, I have to make further explanation.Chopsticks are the least of my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant .In fact ,learning how to use chopsticks takes me nothing but a few weeks .This is not to say I was skillful, though .Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me ,whereas learningthe rituals and how to conduct myself at the table is quite difficult .Just how many times do I have to say ”no ,thank you”when I really mean”no ,thank you ,I truly am full ”?How do I get away with refusing more food without offending someone ?If I insist and I still get more ,is it appropriate just not to eat it ?This would be impolite where I come from.I have enjoyed many great meals and my interactions with the people have been great .I am increasingly aware that I will never be able to give back as much as I have received. I don’t know how I can ever thank all of the people who introduced me to eating in Asia.Unit2汉译英1. 尽管她是家里的独生女，她父母也从不溺爱她。
