研究生复试考试英语听力训练考研复试中，复试占了很高的比重。

考研的考生需要多花心思在听力训练的方面。

给大家了研究生复试考试英语听力训练，希望你们喜欢!所谓知彼就是建议大家在开始准备的时候先不要慌，先去了解你要报考的学校经常会出样的听力材料。

一般来说，各大高校中都是找出现成的类考题，因为自己出一份专门针对复试的听力材料，本钱太大，如果有专门的题，也经常是拼凑出来的。

有三类题是学校喜欢的：1、英语六级听力原题，因为在有的高校，研究生毕业时必须过六级也是一个硬性规定，所以选择六级也是情理之中的事情。

2、旧托福的短对话。

虽然旧托福已经退出历史舞台，也有一些固定规律可循，但是前面的30个短对话仍然堪称经典，因为它可以近乎完美地考察出学生在里的英语运用能力，比方选课、兼职、课外活动等。

3、新闻英语听力。

上述两种考查形式，都是侧重于客观性试题，而有些学校喜欢使用一些主观性较强的新闻听力进展考查。

这种题型需要考生相当好的英语基矗所谓知己就是建议大家在知晓要报考学校的常考内容之后，找个清静之处，花一个小时时间，完完全全做一份针对性练习，看看自己终究在哪方面薄弱，然后再进展突击训练。

二、专注听抄建议大家在头一个星期内(假定我们有两个星期)专注听抄练习，这种训练是帮助我们快速形成语感的不二法门。

听抄分为两种：泛听和精听。

所谓泛听，是指大家在听录音材料的时候，不必把听到的每一句都字字不差的写出来，而是只需要将材料中的关键信息抓住即可。

在刚开始的几天里，可以尽可能地多写一些重要信息，一边听不懂可以多听几遍，这种方法尤其适合应付那些喜欢采用四六级听力试题的学校。

而精听那么要枯燥得多，但也是收效最大的。

它需要我们把每一个字乃至每一个标点符号都写出来，在写的过程中，我们可以检测出自己是在哪一方面需要加强锻炼，是在发音方面、词汇方面，还是深层次的文化方面。

这种方法适合准备要求高的学校，即使用新闻听力的学校。

所以，在刚开始的一个星期内，大家一定要防止急功近利，让自己的心情平静下来，因为再急也没有人会帮你过听力这一关，只有靠我们自己多多练习，仔细归纳。

考研英语复试必读：听力口语部分常考题解析对于英语复试(口语和听力)，各个学校考察方式五花八门，但是根据我们的搜集和几年来所学员的反馈给大家把听力口语部分常考题总结如下，希望对大家的进一步前行有所帮助。

真正的考研英语面试流程中，在自我介绍结束后，老师就会开始向考生提问。

在回答过程中要结合自己的经历和见解来准备答案，让自己回答的问题和整个的自我介绍融为一个整体。

在每一年的面试中都会有很多相同的问题，这些问题看起来很平常，却有很多陷阱，一不小心就会被考官抓主“小辫子”了。

回答这些常见的看起来很平常的问题，是很有艺术的。

即便是回答简单的问题也要突出自身的优势，尤其注意与投考专业相关，做到所说的话都有意义，能够帮助被录取。

一、传统面试问题1、What can you tell me about yourself?/ Could you tell us something about yourself? / Please do a brief self-introduction. (关于你自己，你能告诉我些什么?)Good morning/ Good afternoon, my dear teachers, my dear professors. It is my honor to possess the opportunity to introduce myself to you.

The countries of North and South America and Europe welcome the New Year on January 1. This practice began with the Romans. Julius Caesar, a Roman ruler, changed the date of the New Year from the first day of March to the first day of January. In the Middle East, New Year is on the day when spring begins. People in China celebrate it on the Spring Festival, which is the first day of thei r lunar [ˈlju:nə] 月的, 月球的;按阴历的calendar[ˈkælində] 日历, 月历. The Spring Festival usually comes between January 21 and February 19.

In Wales, wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!" In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling. In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift,it means she will marry him. Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely! Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry. As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off. Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have.

It exists to promote a free-market international trade system. The WTO promotes trade by:1. reducing tariffs;2. prohibiting import or export bans or quotas;3. eliminating discrimination against foreign products and services;4. eliminating other impediments to trade, commonly called "non-tariff trade barriers''.With China's successful entry into WTO in Nov 2001, it currently has 135 member countries, accounting for over 90% of world trade. Over 30 others are negotiating membership. The WTO's top-level decision-making body is the ministerial conference which meets at least once every two years. Over three-quarters of WTO members are developing countries. Special provisions for these members are included in the WTO's agreements. GATT is now the WTO's principal rule-book.Decisions are made by the entire membership by consensus or majority vote. The WTO's agreements have been ratified in all members' parliaments. If a trade barrier is found to be unfair, the WTO can authorize the imposition of trade sanctions to force a change in that country's law. The WTO exempts trade barriers which are designed to conserve naturalresources or protect health.Critics say the WTO credits agreements are skewed in favor of rich countries. The west may preach trade liberalization, but it has used negotiations to prize third world market while keeping its own barriers intact.1.When was the World Trade Organization established?2. What is the aim of establishing the WTO?3. According to the passage, how many member countries does the WTO currently have?4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?5.

The growth rate is expected to reach 4.7 percent, much higher than the 2.5 percent in 1998 and the 3.3 percent in 1999. The average economic growth rate of developed countries may reach 4.2 percent this year. The US economy continues to lead the tide of the world economic growth, with its economic growth rate getting close to 5.2 percent. The European economic situation is also better than that in previous years, and the average growth rate of the 11 countries in the Euro zone is to reach 3.5 percent. The Japanese economy has freed itself from a slump, and its growth rate this year may reach 1.9 percent, higher than the average growth rate in the past 10 years.The average economic growth rate of the developing countries this year can reach 5.6 percent. The economic development in the Asian developing regions has attracted people's attention. Their growth rate this year may reach 7.1 percent. The Russian economy has had an unexpected, strong recovery from the 1998 crisis, with the growth rate possibly reaching 6 percent.Among the many factors that have boosted world economic growth, the growing information technological industry is playing an increasingly outstanding role. The information technological industry is becoming a leading industry in the national economy and a new economic growth point. According to experts' estimate, file current contribution rate of the information technological industry to the world economic growth is 18.2 percent. Its ratio in the growth of the US economy is even higher, standing at one-third. The information technological industry is currently the world, economic sector experiencing rapid development and is creating ever-more wealth, The integration of the traditional economy and the web economy has become the present development trend of the world economy.1.They affirm that the year 2000 has witnessed the most forceful economic growth over the past 13 years.2.The Russian economy.3.18.2%.4.The information technological industry.5.The present development trend of the world economy is the integration of the traditional economy and the web economy.1) 4.2%, 2) 5.2%, 3) 3.5%, 4) 1.9%, 5) 5.6%, 6) 7.1%, 7) 6%Passage III:President Jiang Zemin said on November 16, 2000 that in the development of a "New Economy", it is essential to take advantage of the latest developments in science and technology. He made this address at the eighth informal meeting of leaders of the APEC forum. He explained that the "New Economy" refers to the kind of economy initiated and sustained by new technologies and hi-tech industries. The advancement of technology, led by IT and biotechnology industries, is giving rise to a new industrial revolution, Jiang said.Developing countries are faced with the difficult task of both transforming their traditional industries and developing new industries, Jiang noted, adding that continued expansion of the 'digital divide" has widened the wealth gap between North and South and may trigger new imbalances in the world economy."Against the background of accelerated economic globalization and the dynamic progress of science and technology, we must facilitate cooperation between developed and developing countries on exchanges of human resources,。

研究生复试英语口语考试集锦08考研英语初试已经结束了一个多星期，但考研英语复习并未结束，幸运的考生还将考研复试中迎接听力复试的考验，万学·海文考研辅导名师白洁建议考生利用复试准备的这段时间好好准备一下英语听力的训练。

(一)音、义结合，突破语音关我国外语教学多年来对语言运用功能的重视不够，多围绕讲语法、练翻译进行，重视笔头，轻视听说，导致学生从初学外语开始就音、形、义分家，知其形、义，不知其发音的情况极为普遍。

有的考生虽然有较大的词汇量、较清楚的语法结构概念，笔头能力达到了相当水平，但听力却停留在较低程度。

他们有的人受地方音干扰发音不准，更多的人无法将语言的声音信息与其所代表的符号和其表达的意义联系起来，结果只能通过视觉来辨认和接收学得的语言知识，而无法通过听觉进行，因而造成“聋子英语”、“哑巴英语”。

因此，要具备较强的听力理解能力，首先必须知道某一信息的正确的语音形式，要大胆开口说出来，大声朗读出来，能正确说出来的就不会听不懂。

在说的过程中，要注意读音的准确性，有意识纠正自己的错误发音。

如果自己发音不准，听懂地道的录音材料便无从谈起。

因此，认识听与说的关系，打好语音基础，复习中注意辨音、音的同化(包括连读、失爆、弱读等)、重音以及英美语音差异等语音现象，是突破听力理解的第一关。

(二)摆正听、读顺序，培养良好的听音习惯在外语学习过程中，学习者多数情况下都是先习得文字符号，从书面材料开始，通过视觉即阅读来接收、理解信息，即便是在输入音响信息时，脑子里也总是自觉不自觉地想着文字符号。

这样久而久之就产生了对文字形式的依赖性，形成了本末倒置的不良听音习惯。

考生在复习中切忌读后听音。

先将听力材料读一遍，然后再听，表面上似乎听懂了，但实际上是读懂的，是靠脑子里储存的对阅读的记忆来理解音响信息的。

照此下去，阅读非但不能帮助反而束缚和制约了听力的发展和提高。

也切忌边听边读。

听、读同时进行，似乎有助于听懂，但如果长期如此，会同样使听力陷入误区，即不能将大脑的思维活动集中在音响信息上，而是在听、读之间往返，听觉、视觉交替进行，导致精力分散，无法专心致志。

I'll give u the activity schedule later. But, now I want to answer a question one of u asked me yesterday about campers with asthma. Let me explain a little about the disease. First of all, it's chronic and very common. 20 million people in the United States alone have it. It affects the bronchial tubes, that is the airways of the lungs. During normal breathing, air is drawn in through the mouse and nose, and eventually makes this way into the bronchial tubes. The asthma patient's bronchial tubes are very sensitive, and easily irritated by exercises or strength, exposure to allergen(过敏原) or pollution, or breathing in cold air, or cigarettes smoke.When asthmatic suffers an attack, the airway path was constricted, making it difficult for the person from breathing normally. If a camper in your group has even a mild case of asthma, you would be informed and given further instructionsabout what to do in case of an attack. But don't worry. Some of our campers might have a mild case, but they always bring their medicines with them and we never have a problem. Are there any other questions? Ok, let's talk about the schedules for tomorrow.40：Q: what does the speaker mainly discuss?41:Q: according to the speaker, what part of asthmatic's body is particularly sensitive?42：Q: what does the speaker say about the camps who have asthma?43：Q: why does the speaker mention cigarette smoke?44-47：Question 44-47Today most astronomers accept the notion that groups of stars that make up the universe are all moving farther and farther away from each other. but until very recently this idea of an expanding universe was not a theory most European scholars believed in. Since ancient times and up to about the 17th century most of these scholars thought the size of the universe have remained unchangedsince the moment of its creation or perhaps forever, with all the stars remaining more or less in place in relation to each other. but that was challenged in the late 17th century by Izic Newton's idea of gravity as a force of attraction, which contradicted the idea of a university that is static, unchanging. If gravity causes all the stars out there in space to attract each other as Newton said, then they could remain centrally motionless. Sooner or later all the stars will fall in towards each other. well, scientists then propose a new model, taking Newton's theory into account, they didn't want to abandon the idea of motionless stars, but for this model to work, so the stars wouldn’t fall in each other, they had to modify Newton's law of gravity, so they theorize that for distance as large as those between stars, the gravitation force repels rather attracts. As you might guess, this let to some other contradictions. But this is prettily resolved in the past centuries by the currently accepted theory, which says the universe is continuously expanding. You'll be reading all about that as your homework tonight.44：Q: what does the professor mainly discuss?45： Q: what did most European scholars believe before 17th century about the size of the universe?46：Q: what did some scientists try to explain by suggesting that stars repel each other?47：Q: what will the students read about for homework?48-50：Question 48-50On Monday we talked about insects, and how they gather food. Today I'd like to talk about the common garden spider and how it captures its prey with the round net-like structure it first produced almost 200 million years ago. I mean, of course a spider web. What's interesting is why such a delicate structure isn't ripped apart when a fast-flying insect crashes into it, and compared with the spider, these insects can be huge and really heavy. In fact capturing a large insect in a spider web could be compared to capture an airplane in a fishing net. So, how can the web offset such a shock without breaking? is it just because the silk like thread is made of so strong? well, experts analyze spider webs using a computer program designed when an insect crashed and caught and they found the structure of the web, the way of threads connected together helps balance the strength and tensions caused by the impact and spread them all across the web this saves the web from being destroyed and by the way, suggests some creative new ideas that human might use in designing buildings. The big surprise, though, is the role of air resistance in cushioning(缓冲) the shock of collision. The computer model showed that dragging a tinythread from a spider web through the air is a lot like pulling a heavy rope through water. And since air resistance acts on many threads all across the web its amazing effect that multiplies many times. And this definitely helps the web survive the impact48：Q: what is the talk mainly about?49: Q ：What does the speaker say about some of the insects that spiders capture?50：Q: according to the speaker, who might benefit from studying spider webs?。

考研攻略之英语听力口语训练考研攻略之英语听力口语训练英语听力和口语测试是研究生复试中的重要组成部分。

从20xx年起研究生初试中英语取消听力，英语听力和口语的考查放到复试中进行，英语听力和口语的分值要记入总分，考生对英语口语和听力一定要认真准备。

英语听力和口语测试是研考复试的重要组成部分。

考生应该利用从初试结束到复试开始这一段时间，强化英语口语和听力的训练。

听力准备要提前预热英语听力部分，大多数学校都以现有的成型考试为参考。

考生在准备听力复试的过程中，对于现有的成熟英语考试的听力部分一定要重视，比如六级听力、托福听力和雅思听力应该是复习的重点。

在复习时可以有针对性地做一些六级或托福听力或雅思听力的试题。

平时大量听力练习的空隙，觉得做题枯燥了，收听一下英语新闻，看看发音清晰的英文影片，再放松欣赏的同时又培养了语感，真可谓一举两得。

在参加复试前这段有限的时间里要尽快熟悉与考试相近的内容。

考生大都考过六级听力，并不陌生，而托福听力又是四六级听力命题的基础，熟悉了四六级和托福听力；英语复试问题就不算太大。

总之，在这段宝贵的时间里，一定要坚持做好听力的磨练。

口语测试准备好话题复试中对英语口语能力的考核，从三个方面进行考查和评价：一是语言的准确性，即语法和用词的准确性、语法结构的复杂性、词汇的丰富程度、发音的准确性；二是话语的长短和连贯性，即内容的连贯性、寻找合适的词语而造成的停顿频率及长短、表达思想的语言长短等；三是语言的灵活性和适合性，即语言表达是否灵活、自然，话语是否得体，语言能否与语境、动机和目的相适应。

针对这些考核内容，考生要有的.放矢，有目的地训练自己的听力和口语。

对口语的考查，各个学校各不相同。

有的学校制定了非常详细的标准和流程，甚至规定了每个老师发问的方式和时间；有的只是面试老师的自由发挥，成绩也基本上由面试老师主观判定。

不管面试是否严格控制，考生对下面几个问题一定要认真准备：一是自我介绍，如自己来自什么地方，毕业学校，所学专业，业余喜好，家庭基本情况等信息。

研究生复试英语听力必备对于英语，我们需要把陌生的单词片语和句型不断的熟悉和熟练，使之成为我们的一种习惯，把它变成我们的第二天性。

因此，重复重复再重复，熟练熟练再熟练，是学会英语的不二法门。

下面是小编给大家整理的一些研究生复试英语听力的学习资料，希望对大家有所帮助。

考研复试英语口语常见三类高频话题一、个人相关话题一般涉及考生的日常生活、业余爱好、学习和工作经历。

另外在准备口语的同时，还要加强听力的训练。

否则口语再好，如果听不懂考官在说什么也是徒留遗憾。

例如：Your family;Your hometown;Your university;Your favorite book;Your plan about future;Your most impressive teacher;Your unforgettable experience;Please tell me something about the job you have held, and what you have learned form it.What has been your greatest accomplishment in solving a problem? Use a specific example to demonstrate.二、传统话题这类话题具有很强的普遍性，在各类英语口语考试中也经常被采用，常涉及传统文化问题。

如果考官为外国人，他可能会对你说在地区的文化习俗很感兴趣，所以要提前熟记相关词汇及表达。

例如：Scenic spots and historic sites; Generation Gap; Taking Part-Time Jobs; What's a Friend for?Does money equal happiness?What does happiness mean to you?Is Honesty Always the Best Virtue?What’s your view on the gap between rich and poor?Explain your understanding on the old saying“practice makes perfect”.三、热点话题常涉及目前社会上普遍关心和谈论的话题，所以考生在这段时间多阅读一些相关中文报道或英文报道，可以事先拿一些常规话题训练一下，看是否能完整的陈述出自己的观点及看法。

(2)学会用最简单、最省时、自己最熟悉的符号记录信 息，只要自己能识别的，汉字、代码、符号什么都行。长单 词可以暂记两三个字母，用箭头表示方位或发展方向等。总 之，要有意识地训练自己的速记能力，借助于记录，使自己 听得准，听得全，记住得多，回答得正确。 (四)熟悉语义及语篇衔接词功能，把握信息走向
在听音过程中，考生的思路要想跟上录音的意流，把握信 息的走向，必须将注意力投放在识别某些信号词上，这对提 高获取信息的效率起着至关重要的作用。所谓信号词，是指 人们在交流过程中用来构架语句间、语段或语篇的脉络，以 帮助他人理解或抓住说话人思路的逻辑关系衔接词。这些词 按其功能分为：表示列举、增补关系的信号词，如and、in addition to、one more thing等；表示转折或对比关系的 信号词，如although、 by contrast、as a matter of
似乎有助于听懂，但如果长期如此，会同样使听力陷入误 区，即不能将大脑的思维活动集中在音响信息上，而是在 听、读之间往返，听觉、视觉交替进行，导致精力分散，无 法专心致志。因此笔者建议：一定要先听，即使一下子听不 懂，也不要忙于看文字材料，这时再听第二遍、第三遍，如 果还是听不懂，再求助于文字材料，但此时至少所听内容的 语音形式已在你脑子里留下了一定的印象，甚至还能重复出 来，借助于阅读使你理解了这些语音信息，一旦同样信息在 另一种场合再现时，便不再成为难点，这才能达到阅读促进 听力的目的。 (三)边听边记，训练短期记忆能力
考研英语听力复试突破策略 考研英语初试已经结束，但考研英语复习并未结束，幸运 的考生还将考研复试中迎接听力复试的考验，建议考生利用 好这段时间准备一下英语听力。 (一)音、义结合，突破语音关 我国外语教学多年来对语言运用功能的重视不够，多围绕 讲语法、练翻译进行，重视笔头，轻视听说，导致学生从初 学外语开始就音、形、义分家，知其形、义，不知其发音的 情况极为普遍。有的考生虽然有较大的词汇量、较清楚的语 法结构概念，笔头能力达到了相当水平，但听力却停留在较 低程度。他们有的人受地方音干扰发音不准，更多的人无法 将语言的声音信息与其所代表的符号和其表知识，而无 法通过听觉进行，因而造成“聋子英语”、“哑巴英语”。 因此，要具备较强的听力理解能力，首先必须知道某一信息 的正确的语音形式，要大胆开口说出来，大声朗读出来，能 正确说出来的就不会听不懂。在说的过程中，要注意读音的 准确性，有意识纠正自己的错误发音。如果自己发音不准， 听懂地道的录音材料便无从谈起。因此，认识听与说的关 系，打好语音基础，复习中注意辨音、音的同化（包括连 读、失爆、弱读等）、重音以及英美语音差异等语音现象， 是突破听力理解的第一关。 (二)摆正听、读顺序，培养良好的听音习惯 在外语学习过程中，学习者多数情况下都是先习得文字符 号，从书面材料开始，通过视觉即阅读来接收、理解信息， 即便是在输入音响信息时，脑子里也总是自觉不自觉地想着 文字符号。这样久而久之就产生了对文字形式的依赖性，形 成了本末倒置的不良听音习惯。考生在复习中切忌读后听 音。先将听力材料读一遍，然后再听，表面上似乎听懂了， 但实际上是读懂的，是靠脑子里储存的对阅读的记忆来理解 音响信息的。照此下去，阅读非但不能帮助反而束缚和制约 了听力的发展和提高。也切忌边听边读。听、读同时进行，

考研复试英语听力口语导语：考研分数与分数线已经下来了，不少同学又在烦恼复试的事了。

复试中英语口语听力以及英文也占了很大比重，这些事项不同于英文写作，想在短时间内有的放矢提高成绩，还是很有可能的。

下面由为大家的考研复试英语听力口语技巧，欢迎大家阅读与借鉴！听力的难度可参考六级听力真题和雅思真题。

对于英语水平一般的人确实有一定难度。

最好的训练方式就是多听。

近几年六级和雅思的真题一天一篇精听都够做两个多月了。

每天可以找一篇来训练，力求不看原文听到每句每词听懂为止。

可以跟写或跟读，遇到不会的词可以在一遍听完以后查，之后记下来，这样既是练习听力，也是积累单词。

其他时间可以做泛听，把你喜欢的英文歌曲、英文诗歌朗诵、英文台词等下到手机里，走路或者坐车的时候可以听。

泛听其实不需要你听懂每个字词，但是是培养语感的最有效方式。

一般四六级考试口语不太被重视，所以提得不多，可以看看雅思口语，参照雅思口语的训练标准。

雅思口语根本都是日常常用句居多，多是选择一个话题来讲述或是发表看法，复试口语也可以按照这个路子来。

大家可以买一本雅思口语书，一般上面都会给你归类常考话题和常问问题，以及应该怎么答复，怎么阐述等等。

除了对着书自己练之外，还可以找你的亲朋好友演练。

很多考口语的人都是因为紧张而不能将一句话说利索，导致考官认为你的口语水平不够。

对着真人演练可以提前熟悉这种面试模式，消除你到时候的紧张感。

大家不妨在这段时间多与院校的师哥师姐联系一下，问一下口语都会考什么，一般情况下，口语的考察情况肯定会有重复，也许就碰上了呢。

英文面试主要就是，自我介绍一定要事先反复练习，因为这对于一个人来说是最根本的东西，最根本最简单的东西都说不好，又怎么能指望在其他方面优秀出众?自我介绍是一定要背的，别觉得自己英语水平高就可以不用背临场发挥，事实往往是在他人面前因为紧张而说错词甚至逻辑不通，所以一定要在纸上写下了反复背。

介绍的内容，还是以真实内容为主，表现自己真实的性格和能力，突出自己的优势，可以表达一下对该学校该专业的向往与渴望之情。

W: Your company isn't moving to the west coast after all.M: Well, not for the time being. But I've been looking into other employment opportunities here anyway. Just in case.Part B31-34W: ok, last night you were supposed to read an article about human bones. Are there any comments about it?M: well, to begin with, I was surprised to find out there were so much going on in bones. I always assumed they were pretty lifeless.W: Well, that's an assumption many people make. But the fact is bones are made of dynamic living tissue that requires continuous maintenance and repair.M: Right. That's one of the things I found so fascinating about the article the way the bones repair themselves.W: Ok. So can you tell us how the bones repair themselves.M: Sure. See, there are two groups of different types of specialized cells in the bone that work together to do it. The first group goes to an area of the bone that needs repair. This group of cells produce the chemical that actually breaks down the bone tissue, and leaves a hole in it. After that the second group of specialized cells comes and produce the new tissue that fills in the hole that was made by the first group.W: Very good. This is a very complex process. In fact, the scientists who study human bones don't completely understand it yet. They are still trying to find out how it all actually works. Specifically, because sometimes after the first group of cells leaves a hole in the bone tissue, for some reason, the second group doesn't completely fill in the hole. And this can cause real problems. It can actually lead to a disease in which thebone becomes weak and is easily broken.M: ok, I get it. So if the scientists can figure out what makes the specialized cells work, maybe they can find a way to make sure the second group of cells completely fills the hole in the bone tissue e/very time. That'll prevent the disease from every occurring.35-38M: Hi Diana, mind if I sit down?W: Not at all, Jerry. How have you been?M: Good. But I'm surprised to see you on the city bus. Your car in the shop?W: No. I've just been thinking a lot about the environment lately. So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we call use public transportation when we could.M: I'm sure you are right. The diesel bus isn't exactly pollution free.W: True. They'll be running a lot cleaner soon. We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.M: What could the city do? Install pollution filters in all their buses?W: They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on the fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient.M: How?W: Well, there is a material called XXX. It's a really good insulator. And a think coat of it get sprayed on the certain part of the engine.M: An insulator?W: Yeah. What it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.M: So a lot less unburning fuel comes out to pollute the air.W: And the bus will need less fuel. So with the saving on fuel cost, they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.M: Sounds like people should all go out and get some this stuff to spray their car engines.W: Well, it's not really that easy. You see, normally, the materials are fine powder. To melt it so you can spray a coat of it on the engine parts, you first have to heat it over 10,000 degrees and then, well, you get the idea. It's not something you or I be able to do ourselves.31-34W: ok, last night you were supposed to read an article about human bones. Are there any comments about it?M: well, to begin with, I was surprised to find out there were so much going on in bones. I always assumed they were pretty lifeless.W: Well, that's an assumption many people make.

And this can cause real problems. It can actually lead to a disease in which the bone becomes weak and is easily broken.M: ok, I get it. So if the scientists can figure out what makes the specialized cells work, maybe they can find a way to make sure the second group of cells completely fills the hole in the bone tissue every time. That'll prevent the disease from every occurring.31. What is the discussion mainly about?32. What is the function of the first group of specialized cellsdiscussed in the talk?33. Wh/at does the professor say about scientists who study the specialized cells in human bones?34. According to the student, what is one important purpose of studying specialized cells in human bones?35-38M: Hi Diana, mind if I sit down?W: Not at all, Jerry. How have you been?M: Good. But I'm surprised to see you on the city bus. Your car in the shop?W: No. I've just been thinking a lot about the environment lately.

But they'll be running a lot cleaner soon. We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.M: What's the city gonna do? Install pollution filters of some sort on their buses?W: They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient.M: How?W: Well, there is a material called the coniine oxide. It's a really good insulator. And a thick coat of it get sprayed on the certain part of the engine.M: An insulator?W: Well, yeah. Actually, what it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.M: So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air, right?W: Yeah, and the bus will need less fuel. So with the savings on fuel cost, they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.M: Sounds like people should all go out and get some this stuff to spray their car engines.W: Well, it's not really that easy. You see, normally, the materials are fine powder. To melt it so you can spray a coat of it on the engine parts, you first have to heat it over 10,000 degrees and then, well, you get the idea. It's not something you or I be able to do ourselves. 35. What is the conversation mainly about?36. Why did the woman decide to ride the city bus?37. What is the coniine oxide?38. According to the woman, what may limit the use of the coniine oxide in cars?39-42Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Alice Brown. As you know, we hold a series of events during the school year on various culture topics. I am happy there's such a large crowd of both students and professors, that's it, the second of our time, our city art presentation this year. I see that almost every seat is taken. Tonight, we are lucky to have our guest, the man of considerable fame in the world of music. He began to play the piano at age of 5, by the time he was 10, he was already composing in playing his own pieces. He's a graduate of the famous Juliet School in New York City. Our guest has spent at least 45 years of his very successful career touring the world playing in concert. We are fortunate that he's consented to come share some of his experiences with us. He has had many adventures along the way, lost instruments, miss connections, no hotel room, locked concert halls, and so on. He's played for all of the well-known conductors, not only in North America but all over the world. The title of his talk is the country tour 40 years on 4 continents. Please join me in welcoming Mr. Daniel Robinson, one of the foremost pianists of our day.39. What is the main purpose of Dean Brown's remarks?40. Why does Dean Brown feel pleased?41. When did the pianist begin to play his own composition?42. What will the pianist mainly do?43-45Let's turn our focus now to advertising. We all know what an advertisement is, it's essentially a message that announces something for sale. Now, there is an important precondition that must exist before you have advertising, and that's a large supply of consumer goods, that is, things to sell. You see, in the place with a demand for a product is greater than the supply, there's no need to advertise. Now, the early form of advertising going back many hundreds of years with a simple sign there were shop doors that told you whether the shop was a bakery, a butcher shop or what have you, then was the advent of the printing crest. Advertising increased substantially as for products like coffee, tea, and chocolate appeared in newspapers and another periodicals as well as onthe side of the buildings. In the American colonies, advertising in communication's media like newspapers and pamphlets became a major factor in marketing goods and services. By modern/ standards, these early advertisements were quite small and subdue, not the splash sheet whole page spreads of today, still some of them appeared on the front page of newspapers, probably because the news often consist of less and fresh reports from distant Europe, for the ads were current or local. Advertising really cameinto its own and became a central part of doing business, during the industry revolution, suddenly there was a much greater supply of thingsto sell. And as we said earlier, that is the driving force behind advertising.People's attention had been drawn to the new product. Let's take a look at some of the advertisements from that time.43. What is the main topic of the talk?44. What does the speaker say is the important precondition for advertising?45. According to the speaker, what was the first advertisement?46-50We know then that in the US, it's the job of Congress to review propose new laws, which we call bills, and perhaps to modify these bills and then wrote on them. But even if the bill passed in Congress, it still doesn't become a law until the president had a chance to review it too. And if it's not to the president's liking, the bill can be vetoed or killed in either of two ways. One is by a veto message. The president has ten days to veto the bill by returning it to Congress, along with the message explaining why it's being rejected. This keeps the bill from becoming a law unless overwhelming majorities of both houses of Congress vote to over-right the president's veto. Something they really do. Often, lawmakers simply revised the vetoed bill and passed it again. This time, in the form the president less likely to object to, and us less likely to want to veto. The other way the president can kill a bill is by pocket veto. Here's what happen. If the president doesn't sign the bill within ten days, and Congress are jurors during that time, then the bill will not becomelaw. Notice that is only the end of entire session of Congress that the pocket veto can be used, not just whenever Congress take the shorter break, say, for a summer vacation, after a pocket veto, that particular bill is dead. If a lawmaker in Congress want to push the matter in their next session, they'll have to start all over with a brand new version of the bill.46. What is the main topic of the talk?47. According to the speaker, what does the veto message explain?48. According to the speaker, what do lawmakers often do after a veto message is issued?49. What happens to a bill as a result of a pocket veto?。
