听力材料：Questions 1 ~ 10 :Hello, everyone. Today I will introduce you the learning chains in Britain. Here the chains refer to schools linked together as part of a group. They can offer students many practical advantages.When people are asked to name a language school, more often than not, they think of one of the large international chains of schools. Some are vast language teaching organizations with schools in many different countries and may teach just one language.One of the main strengths of these chains is the fact that their name isfamiliar to people all over the world. This can be a big advantage in the con-fusing world of language learning. Most students are bewildered by the large choice of schools and courses on offer, both at home and abroad, and so many prefer to choose a school which has a familiar name and an established reputation. Chain schools know this, and part of their success is due to effective marketing and advertising, which helps to keep their name well-known.But chain schools should not be dismissed by serious students just be-cause they use clever marketing techniques. They have other important strengthens which can provide advantages to students. A school is only as good as its teachers and facilities, and many chains offer very high standards in both. More chains require that their teachers have internationally recognized qualifications and a maximum amount of teaching experience. It is important for chains to maintain these standards at all schools, because the reputation of the whole chain can be affected if one school performs badly.Students also benefit from the standardized structure of chains. Most chains use the same text books in all their schools, and often they produce their own coursework materials. They also organize their courses in the same way which means that starting dates and course lengths are usually the same at all schools.For students, one of the main advantages of this standardized structure is simplicity. If you cannot decide whether to study in the U. S. or Britain, for example, most chains allow students to start their language course at one school and continue at another, so they can experience different regions or different countries, as part of the same study trip.Chain schools tend to be larger than single center schools, which can al-so have advantages for students. With larger numbers of students, school administrators can achieve a better mixture of nationalities in classrooms. This means that students can avoid being with other students who speak their language. This gives them the chance to meet students from other countries, and to practice their English with them.Some chains offer students a very simple booking and enrolment procedure which is also useful. Application forms and enrolment procedures are the same for all schools, so students need only supply their details once. Students may find that they can book their course abroad through a representative of a chain school in their own town or city. Other chains offer a centralized booking facility, so students only have to contact one center to make a booking anywhere in the world.Chain schools often operate in different locations, whereas a single school is likely to be based permanently in one building. Many chain schools operate temporary schools, particularly during the summer holidays. In Britain, they often use secondary school premises which are empty during the school holidays.Studying English in an English-speaking country is the most effective way to learn thelanguage, but for many students this is only one stage of their learning career. Most students start learning English in their own country and they will probably want to continue learning once they return from their study trip. An international chain can usually offer you a continuous learning program from one country to the next.Language school chains can offer students high standards of teachingbased on widespread experience. For students it can be a useful way of making learning more flexible.Questions 11 - 13 :M: Now, I' d like to say that I think that this government proposing to build more nuclear power stations in this country is really being stupid. The point about nuclear power is that we haven' t learnt to do away with the waste. We haven' t learnt to cope with the waste from it yet.W: Well, I sometimes think that, you know, they' ve got an impossible job. I mean all the impression I get is that there is no alternative.., well, that' s the impression I get.M: No, no, no I... I don' t agree with that at all. There are plenty of alter-natives. There' s the sun.., solar power.., that is a source that is always there, we always have it.W: I don' t... I don' t quite see what you' re getting at actually, solar power,what' s that?M: Well, the heat from the sun, it can be used in solar panels on the tops of houses for heating, storing up power to heat water and to heat the houses, you know, some solar panels are in operation already and they are saving money...W: That' s a good point actually, but is it really viable, that, I mean becauseI'd...M:Sorry it must be! And the one great advantage is that I can see, if the government set up small units to build solar panels and to install them, it would be creating employment which would improve the unemployment situation and bring terrific advantages.W: I have heard that in England, I mean, there' s not enough sun, is there?For, I mean, solar panels here?M:Yes, well, that' s not quite true. I... there is quite a bit of sun.., youmay not feel the actual heat of it on some occasions.W: No, you are right there !M:But the light power from the sun will...Questions 14 ~ 16 :M : Cigarette?W :No, thank you. I' ve given up, you know.M:Oh.W : It' s ten days ago. Haven' t had one.M : Well, you don' t mind if I had one.W: Well, all right, then... Oh my goodness ! That' s a terrible cough.M: No, no, it' s not. It' s only... I only get it first thing in the morning.W: That' s going to make you very unfit, you know.M : No, it' s all right. It goes in a minute.W:Why don't you try and give up?M : Oh, no. I ought to, but I can' t. It relaxes me, smoking.W: Really?M : It does.W:Well, have you ever thought of just cutting down?M : Oh, no, that' s all very well but... I wouldn' t enjoy it. I depend a biton my smoking. I must say.W:You should do it gradually. I mean.., well, if you tried.., have youthought of just giving up one day?M:Yes, oh well, yes, that is quite a good idea.W:It is.M : But I think I' d lose count or something.W: Oh dear ! Well, it might be an idea if you started eating sweets.M : Oh no, I couldn' t do that. I couldn' t possibly...W:Why?M:Well, it makes you fat.W:Well, do you think that matters? Don' t you think it is better to be fatthan to be unhealthy?M : No, I don' t. I' d rather be fat... Well, I' d rather be thin than fat, certainly.W : Oh dear. Well. Hey ! I' ve got a good idea !M:What' s that?W:Why don't you go to a hypnotist? My sister did!M : Oh, look, you don' t seem to realize that I like smoking. If I gave it up,if I didn' t smoke at all, I' d probably end up attacking people !W : Oh, don' t be so silly ! Of course you wouldn' t !Questions 17 ~ 20 :Farmers usually use plows to prepare their fields for planting crops. Plows cut into the ground, and lift up weeds, and other unwanted plants. However, plowing is blamed for causing severe damage to top soil by removing the plants that protect soil from being blown or washed away. Many farmers in South Asia are now trying a process called Low Till Fanning. Low Till Farming limits the use of plows. In this method of farming, seeds and fertilizer are put into the soil through small cuts made in the surface of the ground. Low Till Agriculture leaves much or all the soil and remains of plants on the ground. They serve as a natural fertilizer and help support the roots of future crops. They take in rain and allow it to flow into the soil in-stead of running off. It has been proved that Low Till Fanning increases har-vests and reduces water use, and this method reduces the need for chemical products because there are fewer unwanted plants. Scientists say Low Till Farming is becoming popular in South Asia, which is facing a severe water shortage. They say the area will become dependent on imported food unless water is saved through methods like Low Till Farming. Currently, more than150 million people in South Asia depend on local rice and wheat crops. Farmers grow rice during wet weather. During the dry season they grow wheat in the same fields. Farmers are using the Low Till Farming method to plant wheat after harvesting rice. Scientists say Low Till Agriculture is one of the best examples in the w0fld of technologies working for both people and the environment.Questions 21 ~ 30 :Today we take it for granted that the mail will be delivered daily at our door. But many years ago it might have been placed in a tree trunk or underneath a rock. In the early days of the mail no one could be sure about where or when it would arrive.At the southern tip of Africa there was once a post office under a rock. In the old days the route from England to India was around the Cape of Good Hope. The journey was stormy and dangerous. It took six long months. Sailors often wished to send mail home, but they seldom met ships bound back to England. So at the cape the sailors would go .ashore. They headed for a certain large stone. On the stone were scratched the words "Look here-under for letters. " They would leave their letters there, knowing that thenext homeward-bound ship would stop and pick them up.There was another post office like this at the southern tip of South America. During the gold rush days, boats sailed around Cape Horn to California. At Cape Horn was a keg nailed to a post. Boats coming from the east coast would send a small boat ashore to this post office. They picked up any letters in the keg. At the same time they mailed letters home that boats sailing east could pick up.In the state of Washington stands the stump of a huge cedar. It, too, was once a post office. Settlers needed a place for the mail carders to leave their letters. Their houses were so widely scattered that the mail carrier could not reach all of them, and the post office was far away over rough roads. So the settlers found a tree that stood where several trails crossed. They cut the tree down ten feet from the ground, hollowed it out, and covered it with a roof. Inside, they nailed a row of wooden boxes. Each box was marked with a family' s name. The mail carder could leave letters there for everyone for miles around.For the first few years after the English colonists came to America, there was no regular postal service. People gave their letters to any traveler who happened to be going in the right direction. Often they gave them to a peddler or a traveling shoemaker. When the traveler reached the town where the letter was going, he might stop at an inn. He would leave the letters there. But there they stayed until the .person they were addressed to happened to come by and stopped at the inn.What about places like Virginia where there were very few inns? People who wished to send letters would leave them at one of the large plantations. The owners of the plantation would then send the letters on to a neighbor. The neighbor would do the same. It was a slow mall system.After many years, regular mail carriers on horseback were hired. They went from one big town to another. Between New York and Boston, for ex-ample, there was one "postrider" a month. He traveled only by day and took two weeks for the trip. often the postrider left all the mail for a whole town at a crossroads store. It still took many weeks for a letter to reach the person it was addressed to.Finally, about two hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin was made postmaster for all the colonies. His first act was to make a long journey to find out the best routes for carrying the mail. Then he set up a line of post station between the northern and southern colonies. He ordered his postriders to travel by night as well as by day.Franklin' s postriders could carry more letters in a shorter time from one colony to another. The letter service helped the young American colonies learn more about each other. They learned that they were all interested in the same things. This gave them the feeling of unity that later helped them win their independence.In time, the nation set up its own government. But there were still only seventy five post offices in the whole country. Between cities along the coast, mail was sent in sailing boats. But most letters were carried from one post office to another in stagecoaches. Trips were three times aweek in summer and twice a week in winter. The stage stopped in all towns. Large and small. It stopped fifteen minutes in a small town and two hours in a larger one. But still the people of the town might reach the post office too late tocatch the stagecoach. Sometimes, too, the drivers forgot the mall or evenlost it. It still took a week for news to go from Washington D. C. to New York.Today an airmail letter can travel across the world in much less time than that, let alone the e-mail through computers. A modern post office handles more mall in a day than the colonial carders handled in a whole year. You know that the letter you send will go anywhere you want it to go, and whenever.。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1In recent years, there has been a steady assault on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for you ¾ regardless of your health. Politicians also got on board. “There i s a direct relationship,” US congressman Neal Smith noted, “between the amount o f sodium a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory disorders, stroke and ev en early death.”Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning t o feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All this hue and cry about eating salt i s unnecessary,” Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably doesn’t make mu ch difference how much salt we eat.” Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 15 0 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. O f the hypertensive subjects, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did exper ience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to its previous level when salt was reintroduced.“An adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population,” notes Dr. John H. Laragh. “So a re commendation that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.”Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation” in s alt consumption. For the average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of a teaspoon. The equivalent of one to two grams of this salt allowance would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.Those with kidney, liver or heart problems may have to limit dietary salt, if thei r doctor advises. But even the very vocal “low salt” exponent, Dr. Arthur Hull H ayes, Jr. admits that “we do not know whether increased sodium consumption causes hypertension.” In fact, there is growing scientific evidence that other factors m ay be involved: deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity (mu ch more dangerous than sodium); genetic predisposition; stress.“It is not your enemy,” says Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No. 1 natural component o f all human tissue, and the idea that you don’t need it is wrong. Unless your doc tor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.”51. According to some doctors and politicians, the amount of salt consumed[A] exhibits as an aggravating factor to people in poor health.[B] cures diseases such as stroke and circulatory disorders.[C] correlates highly with some diseases.[D] is irrelevant to people suffering from heart disease.52. From Dr. Dustan’s study we can infer that[A] a low-salt diet may be prescribed for some people.[B] the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressure.[C] the reduction of salt intake can cure a hypertensive patient.[D] an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone.53. In the third paragraph, Dr. Laragh implies that[A] people should not be afraid of taking excessive salt.[B] doctors should not advise people to avoid salt.[C] an adequate to excessive salt intake is recommended for people indisease.[D] excessive salt intake has claimed some victims in the general population.54. The phrase “vocal ... exponent” (line 2, para. 4) most probably refers to[A] eloquent doctor.[B] articulate opponent.[C] loud speaker.[D] strong advocate.55. What is the main message of this text?[A] That the salt scare is not justified.[B] That the cause of hypertension is now understood.[C] That the moderate use of salt is recommended.[D] That salt consumption is to be promoted.Text 2Few people doubt the fundamental importance of mothers in child-rearing, but what do fathers do? Much of what they contribute is simply the result of being a second adult in the home. Bringing up children is demanding, stressful and exhausting. T wo adults can support and make up for each other’s deficiencies and build on each other’s strengths.Fathers also bring an array of unique qualities. Some are familiar: protector and role model. Teen-age boys without fathers are notoriously prone to trouble. The pa thway to adulthood for daughters is somewhat easier, but they must still learn fro m their fathers, in ways they cannot from their mothers, how to relate to men. The y learn from their fathers about heterosexual trust, intimacy and difference. They learn to appreciate their own femininity from the one male who is most special in their lives. Most important, through loving and being loved by their fathers, the y learn that they are love-worthy.Current research gives much deeper¾and more surprising¾insight into the father’s role in child-rearing. One significantly overlooked dimension of fathering is play. From their children’s birth through adolescence, fathers tend to emphasise play more than caretaking. The father’s style of play is likely to be both physically stimulating and exciting. With older children it involves more teamwork, requiring competitive testing of physical and mental skills. It frequently resembles a teac hing relationship: come on, let me show you how. Mothers play more at the child’s level. They seem willing to let the child direct play.Kids, at least in the early years, seem to prefer to play with daddy. In one study of 2 -year-olds who were given a choice, more than two-thirds chose to play with their father.The way fathers play has effects on everything from the management of emotions to intelligence and academic achievement. It is particularly important in promoting s elf-control. According to one expert, “children who roughhouse with their fathers quickly learn that biting, kicking and other forms of physical violence are not ac ceptable.” They learn when to “shut it down.”At play and in other realms, fathers tend to stress competition, challenge, initia tive, risk-taking and independence. Mothers, as caretakers, stress emotional secur ity and personal safety. On the playground fathers often try to get the child to s wing ever higher, while mother are cautious, worrying about an accident.We know, too, that fathers’ involvement seems to be linked to improved verbal and problem-solving skills and higher academic achievement. Several studies found that along with paternal strictness, the amount of time fathers spent reading with the m was a strong predictor of their daughters’ verbal ability.For sons the results have been equally striking. Studies uncovered a strong relati onship between fathers’ involvement and the mathematical abilities of their sons. Other studies found a relationship between paternal nurturing and boys’ verbal in telligence.56. The first paragraph points out that one of the advantages of a family with both parents is[A] husband and wife can share housework.[B] two adults are always better than one.[C] the fundamental importance of mothers can be fully recognised.[D] husband and wife can compensate for each other’s shortcomings.57. According to paragraph 3, one significant difference between the father’s andmother’s role in child-rearing is[A] the style of play encouraged.[B] the amount of time available.[C] the strength of emotional ties.[D] the emphasis of intellectual development.58. Which of the following statements is true?[A] Mothers tend to stress personal safety less than fathers.[B] Boys are likely to benefit more from their fathers’ caring.[C] Girls learn to read more quickly with the help of their fathers.[D] Fathers tend to encourage creativeness and independence.59. Studies investigating fathers’ involvement in child-rearing show that[A] this improves kids’ mathematical and verbal abilities.[B] the more time spent with kids, the better they speak.[C] the more strict the fathers are, the cleverer the kids.[D] girls usually do better than boys academically.60. The writer’s main point in writing this article is[A] to warn society of increasing social problems.[B] to emphasise the father’s role in the family.[C] to discuss the responsibilities of fathers.[D] to show sympathy for one-parent families.Text 3World leaders met recently at United Nations headquarters in New York City to disc uss the environmental issues raised at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. The heads of state were supposed to decide what further steps should be taken to halt the decli ne of Earth’s life-support systems. In fact, this meeting had much the flavour of the original Earth Summit. To wit: empty promises, hollow rhetoric, bickering betw een rich and poor, and irrelevant initiatives. Think U.S. Congress in slow motion.Almost obscured by this torpor is the fact that there has been some remarkable pro gress over the past five years ¾ real changes in the attitude of ordinary people i n the Third World toward family size and a dawning realisation that environmental degradation and their own well-being are intimately, and inversely, linked. Almost none of this, however, has anything to do with what the bureaucrats accomplished in Rio.Or didn’t accomplish. One item on the agenda at Rio, for example, was a renewed e ffort to save tropical forests. (A previous U.N.-sponsored initiative had fallen a part when it became clear that it actually hastened deforestation.) After Rio, a U.N. working group came up with more than 100 recommendations that have so far gone nowhere. One proposed forestry pact would do little more than immunise wood-export ing nations against trade sanctions.An effort to draft an agreement on what to do about the climate changes caused by CO2 and other greenhouse gases has fared even worse. Blocked by the Bush Administr ation from setting mandatory limits, the U.N. in 1992 called on nations to volunta rily reduce emissions to 1990 levels. Several years later, it’s as if Rio had nev er happened. A new climate treaty is scheduled to be signed this December in Kyot o, Japan, but governments still cannot agree on limits. Meanwhile, the U.S. produc es 7% more CO2 than it did in 1990, and emissions in the developing world have ri sen even more sharply. No one would confuse the “Rio process” with progress.While governments have dithered at a pace that could make drifting continents impa tient, people have acted. Birth-rates are dropping faster than expected, not becau se of Rio but because poor people are deciding on their own to limit family size. Another positive development has been a growing environmental consciousness among the poor. From slum dwellers in Karachi, Pakistan, to colonists in Rondonia, Brazi l, urban poor and rural peasants alike seem to realise that they pay the biggest p rice for pollution and deforestation. There is cause for hope as well in the growi ng recognition among business people that it is not in their long-term interest to fight environmental reforms. John Browne, chief executive of British Petroleum , boldly asserted in a major speech in May that the threat of climate change could n o longer be ignored.61. The writer’s general attitude towards the world leaders meeting at the U.N. i s[A] supportive.[B] impartial.[C] critical.[D] optimistic.62. What does the author say about the ordinary people in the Third Worldcountries?[A] They are beginning to realise the importance of environmentalprotection.[B] They believe that many children are necessary for prosperity.[C] They are reluctant to accept advice from the government.[D] They think that earning a living is more important than natureconservation.63. What did the U.N. call on nations to do about CO2 and other greenhouse gases i n 1992?[A] To sign a new climate treaty at Rio.[B] To draft an agreement among U.N. nations.[C] To force the United States to reduce its emissions.[D] To cut the release of CO2 and other gases.64. The word “deforestation” in paragraph 3 means[A] forest damage caused by pollution.[B] moving population from forest to cities.[C] the threat of climate change.[D] cutting large areas of trees.65. Which of the following best summarises the text?[A] As the U. N. hesitates, the poor take action.[B] Progress in environmental protection has been made since the RioSummit.[C] Climate changes can no longer be ignored.[D] The decline of earth’s life-support systems has been halted.Part BIn the following article some paragraphs have been removed.

Those who had been at the head of the line paused momentarily on entry, looked around curiously, then quickly moved forward as others behind pressed in. Within moments the central public area of the big branch bank was filled with a chattering, noisy crowd. The building, relatively quiet less than a minute earlier, had become a Babel. Edwina saw a tall heavyset black man wave some dollar bills an d declare loudly,“I want to put my money in the bank”It seemed as if the report about everyone having come to open an account had been accurate after all.Edwina could see the big man leaning back expansively, still holding his dollar bi lls. His voice cut across the noise of other conversations and she heard him procl aim, “I’m in no hurry. There’s something I’d like you to explain.”Two other desks were quickly manned by other clerks. With equal speed, long wide l ines of people formed in front of them.Normally, three members of staff were ample to handle new account business, but ob viously were inadequate now. Edwina could see Tottenhoe on the far side of the ban k and called him on the intercom. She instructed, “Use more desks for new account s and take all the staff you can spare to man them.”Tottenhoe grumbled in reply, “You realize we can’t possibly process all these pe ople today, and however many we do will tie us up completely.”“I’ve an idea,” Edwina said, “that’s what someone has in mind. Just hurry the processing all you can.”First, an application form called for details of residence, employment, social sec urity, and family matters. A specimen signature was obtained. Then proof of identi ty was needed. After that, the new accounts clerk would take all documents to an o fficer of the bank for approval and initialing. Finally, a savings passbook was ma de out or a temporary checkbook issued.Therefore the most new accounts that any bank employee could open in an hour were five, so the three clerks presently working might handle a total of ninety in one business day, if they kept going at top speed, which was unlikely.Still the noise within the bank increased. It had become an uproar.A further problem was that the growing mass of arrivals in the central public area of the bank was preventing access to tellers’ counters by other customers. Edwin a could see a few of them outside, regarding the milling scene with consternation. While she watched, several gave up and walked away.Inside the bank some of the newcomers were engaging tellers in conversation and th e tellers, having nothing else to do because of the melee, chatted back. Two assis tant managers had gone to the central floor area and were trying to regulate the f lood of people so as to clear some space at counters. They were having small succe ss.She decided it was time for her own intervention.Edwina left the platform and a railed-off staff area and, with difficulty, made he r way through the milling crowd to the main front door.Yet she knew however much they hurried it would still take ten to fifteen minutes to open any single new account. It always did. The paperwork required that tim e.But still no hostility was evident. Everyone in the now jam-packed bank who was spoken to by members of the staff answered politely and with a smile. It seem ed, Edwina thought, as if all who were here had been briefed to be on best behavio r.A security guard directed him, “Over there for new accounts.” The guard pointed to a desk where a clerk ¾ a young girl ¾ sat waiting. She appeared nervous. The bi g man walked toward her, smiled reassuringly, and sat down. Immediately a press of others moved into a ragged line behind him, waiting for their turn.Even leaning close to the intercom, it was hard to hear above the noise.Even tripling the present complement of clerks would permit very few more than two hundred and fifty accounts to be opened in a day, yet already, in the first few m inutes of business, the bank was crammed with at least four hundred people, with s till more flooding in, and the line outside, which Edwina rose to check, appeared as long as ever.Obviously someone had alerted the press in advance, which explained the presence o f the TV camera crew outside. Edwina wondered who had donePart CAnswer questions 91-100 by referring to the comments on 3 different cars in the fo llowing magazine article.Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. S ome choices may be required more than once.A=Audi A3 B=Honda Civic C=Rover 216Which car...Audi A3Most of our drivers said the A3 was their clear favourite in this group. They desc ribed it as refined and comfortable with good handling characteristics and light, precise steering.All the seats were comfortable and the front ones were easy to adjust. Most driver s liked the driving position, helped by a good range of steering wheel and seat height adjustments. The main instruments were clear and dashboard controls were well positioned.Mirror coverage was very good but our drivers complained that the view out of the rear was badly hindered by the high rear window line and thick pillars.Getting into the back seats was easy, thanks to a clever seat mechanism, which mov es the seat up and forward as well as tilting the backrest. Rear legroom was reaso nable but the rear seat was only barely wide enough for three adults.Luggage space was average for this class of car but you have to remove the rear he ad restraints to fold the rear seat. There were plenty of useful interior stowage spaces.All A3s come with an alarm and immobiliser as standard. Our ‘thief’ got in throu gh the doors in 20 seconds, But the radio was a non-standard fit, which is likely to deter thieves.The hinges of the rear seats could release in an accident, allowing luggage to cra sh through into the passenger compartment. Also, the driver's knees could be damag ed by stiff structures under the dash.Some parts of the fuel system and electrics would be vulnerable to damage in a fro ntal collision.Honda CivicHonda says its special VTEC engine has a winning combination of economy and perfor mance, but our drivers found it a bit of a curate’s egg. It was the most economic al of the cars on test, but drivers found it sluggish at low revs, and its acceler ation in fifth gear was slow, so overtaking normally meant having to shift down to fourth gear.The driving position was acceptable, but our panel criticised the restricted rear visibility ¾ the rear window was quite small. Drivers found the back rest supporti ve but it was not possible to make fine adjustments to the angle. The ride comfort was acceptable, but it wasn’t as good as the Audi’s or Rover’s.The driver’s seat didn’t slide forward when it was tilted, making rear access aw kward from this side. In the back, headroom and legroom was excellent but testers didn’t find the seats particularly comfortable.The luggage space was small for this class of car, especially with the rear seats in place. However, folding the rear seat to increase luggage space was easy.Other points identified by our panel included well-placed minor controls, good mir ror coverage, but fiddly radio controls.All Civics come with an immobiliser but no alarm. You may want to consider paying extra for an alarm, as our ‘thief’ broke into through the doors in 13 seconds, a nd into the engine bay in just five seconds.There were stiff structures under the dash which could damage the driver's knees i n an accident, though there was no problem on the passenger's side. The handbook (like the Audi's) provided advice on using child restraints.Rover 216The 1.6-litre engine had good power delivery at both high and low revs but some dr ivers complained that it was noisy at high revs. The brakes didn't have very good progression, but drivers like their positive feel.Ride comfort and the handling were praised. But drivers found it difficult to achi eve a comfortable driving position. The driver's seat was not height-adjustable, a nd there was only limited space to rest your clutch foot. Some testers also found the seat backrest uncomfortable. Visibility was marred by the small mirrors. The r ear view was also restricted by thick pillars and the small rear window.Getting into the back was tricky because the front seats did not slide forward whe n tilted. Once in the back, legroom and headroom were poor, and testers complained that their rear seat base was unsupportive.Luggage space was smaller than average for this class of car ¾ this was compounded by a high boot sill and difficulties in folding the rear seat. But there were lar ge pockets in the doors and rear side panels.The main radio controls were more convenient; they were mounted on the steering wh eel so drivers didn't have to take their hands off the wheel to use them.Our Rover 200s came with an alarm, though this isn't standard on all versions. Our 'thief' broke in through the doors in 15 seconds.Some of the electrics would be vulnerable in a frontal impact. The rear seat hinge s could release in an accident, allowing luggage to crash through into the passeng er compartment. Also, information in the handbook on using child restraints was in adequate.SECTION IV: Writing(40 minutes)。
