What’s the man’s problem?5. According to the woman, what is the best way to improve vocabulary?6. Why should the man carry a small notebook?7. How many words does the woman recommend the man to memorize per day?Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Passage 11. A. One-third of a dollar. B. One-fourth of a dollar.C. One-fifth of a dollar.D. One-tenth of a dollar.2. A. The name of a song.B. People losing their jobs.C. The difference between eating and starving.D. Re-organizing companies.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.4. A. The sixteenth century.B. The seventeenth century.C. The eighteenth century.D. The nineteenth century.In the nineteen thirties, a song, “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”was very popular in the United States. It was the time of the big Depression. The song had meaning for many people who had lost their jobs.A dime is a piece of money whose value is one-tenth of a dollar. Today, a dime does not buy much. But it was different in the 1930s. A dime sometimes meant the difference between eating and starving.The American economy today is much better. Yet, many workers are concerned about losing their jobs as companies re-organize.Americans have special ways of talking about economic troubles. People in businesses may say they feel the pinch. Or they may say they are up against it. Or, if things are really bad, they may say they have to throw in the towel.A pinch is painful pressure. To feel the pinch is to suffer painful pressure involving money. The expression, feel the pinch, has been used since the sixteenth century. The famous English writer WilliamShakespeare wrote something very close to this in his great play “King Lear.”Questions:1. What is the value of a dime?2. What did a dime mean in the 1930s?3. How many ways of talking about economic troubles are mentioned in the passage?4. When was the expression “feel the pinch”first used?Passage 25. A. Importance of people’s names.B. Special meaning of names.C. About a person named “Joe”.D. The common American names.6. A. A man walking down the street.B. A woman who was lost.C. Someone who didn’t know about the city.D. A common person, either male or female.7. A. An expression to show surprise.B. The name of the nearest bank.C. The person who told that the bank was closed.D. Someone who does not believe anything he is told.Passage 38. A. She didn’t know any English when she visited theUnited States.B. She was not sure that people in New York and Chicagowere speaking English.C. She couldn’t understand the special business wordsand expressions.D. Her problem is easy to understand.9. A. Getting organized.B. Getting angry.C. Things getting wrong in business.D. Developing business.10. A. People in business.B. Special areas of business.C. The theater or movie industry.D. Different kinds of work.A woman from Japan was telling a friend about her trip to the United States. The woman had visitedmajor businesses and investment companies in New York City and Chicago.“I studied English before I left home,”she said. “But I still was not sure that people were speakingEnglish.”Her problem is easy to understand. Americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere.They have a language of their own. Some of the words and expressions deal with the special areas of their work. Other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry.One such saying is “get your act together”.When things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angry. He may shout, “Stop making mistakes.Get your act together.”Or, if the employer is calmer, he may say, “Let us get our act together.”Either way, the meaning is the same. Getting your act together is getting organized. Inbusiness, it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of action.It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began. But, it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry. Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. The director may have said, “Calm down, now. Get your act together.”Questions:8. What’s the problem of the woman from Japan?9. What’s the meaning of “get your act together”?10. Where does the expression “get your act together”probably come from?Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, listen carefully for the general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, fill in the blanks numbered from 1 to 7 theexact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 8 to 10 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words . When the passage is read for the third time , check your answers.Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for 1) , let them play outside and give them good food and 2) care. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life,3) a person who has an unhappy 4) .Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are 5) for the same things, like good jobs.

Conversation TwoM: Maths Department, Webster speaking.W: Hello, Professor Webster, this is Janet Hill calling. I'm living two doors down from your teaching assistant, Don Williams. Don asked me to call you because he has lost his voice and can't talk toyou himself.M: Lost his voice? Oh, what a shame! Is there anything I can do for him?W: Well, he has a class this afternoon from two thirty to four and he won't be able to teach it, but he doesn't want to cancel it either.M: Want me to try to find somebody else to teach the class?W: No, not exactly. What he wants to do is to get someone go in for him, just pass back the midterm exams. He's already marked them and they are on the desk in his office. The whole thing wouldn't take more than ten minutes.M: His classes are two thirty, eh? Well I'm afraid at that time I was going to be on campus anyway; so I could do it for him. What room is his class in?W: Cader Hall, Room 214. Will you need his office key to get the exams? He's given it to me and I could bring it to you.M: Actually, that won't be necessary. We have a master key in the maths department. So I can get into his office.W: Thank you very much. Professor Webster. Don doesn't have another class to teach until Thursday, and hopefully, he will be able to talk by then. He'll call you as soon as he can. Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Could you put the next assignment on the board, too? It's all the problems on page 45, and they are due at the next class.Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.13.

Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneIn the next few decades people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically powered cars. So in a few years p eople won’t worry about running out of gas.Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new technology. F & C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. At the press conference the company will present its new, electronically operated models.Transportation in the future won’t be limited to the ground. Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky.But the sky isn’t the limit. In the future, you’ll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon, Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements, you’ll hear someone say, “Th e spacecraft to the moon leaves in ten minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember, no more than ten ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed.”Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What will be used to power cars in the next few decades?27. What will future news reports focus on when talking about transportation?28.

Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together.The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring? That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry. The diamond represented beauty. He placed it on the third finger of her left hand. He chose that finger because it was thought that a blood vessel in that finger went directly to the heart. Today, we know that this is not true. Yet the tradition continues.Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year if they are planning a wedding ceremony and party. During the time, friends of the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give the bride gifts that she will need as a wife. These could include cooking equipment or new clothing.Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him. This usually takes place the night before the wedding. Only men are invited to the bachelor party.During the marriage ceremony, the bride and her would-be husband usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever. The wife often wears both the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger. The husband wears hi ring on the thirdfinger of his left hand.Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding .But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure they want to marry each other. Either person may decide to break the engagement. If this happens, the woman usually returns the ring to the man; they also return any wedding gifts they have received. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What was the diamond ring said to represent?30. Why did the Austrian man place the diamond ring on the third finger of the left hand of his would-be wife?31. What is the chief advantage of having the engagement period?Passage Three“Where is the university?” is a question ma ny visitors to Cambridge ask, but no one could point them in any one direction because there is no campus. The university consists of thirty-one self-governing colleges. It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.Individual colleges choose their own students, who have to meet the minimum entrance requirements set by the university. Undergraduates usually live and study in their colleges, where they are taught in very small groups. Lectures, and laboratory and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings.There are over 10,000 undergraduates and 3,500 postgraduates. About forty percent of them are women and some eight percent from overseas. As well as teaching, research is of major importance. Since the beginning of the 20th century more than sixty university members have won Nobel prizes.The university has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research. It has more than sixty specialist subject libraries, as well as the University Library, which, as a copyright library, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university. It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they were awarded degrees.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. Why is it difficult for visitors to locate Cambridge University?33. What does the passage tell us about the colleges of Cambridge University?34. What can be learned from the passage about the libraries in Cambridge University?35. What does the passage say about women students in Cambridge University?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times, when the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the secondtime, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Russia is the largest (36)economic power that is not a member of the World Trade Organization. But that may change. Last Friday, the European Union said it would support Russia’s effort to become a W.T.O. member.Representatives of the European Union met with Russian (37) officials in Moscow. They signed a trade agreement that took six years to (38) negotiate.Russia called the trade agreement (39) balanced. It agreed to slowly increase fuel prices within the country. It also agreed to permit (40) competition in its communications industry and to remove some barriers to trade.In (41) exchange for European support to join the W.T.O., Russian President Putin said that Russia would speed up the (42) process to approve the Kyoto Protocol, an international (43) environmental agreement to reduce the production of harmful industrial gases. (44) These “greenhouse gases” trap heat in the atmosphere and are blamed for changing the world’s climate.Russia had signed the Kyoto Protocol, but has not yet approved it. The agreement takes effect when it has been approved by nations that produce at least 55 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases. But currently, nations producing only 44 percent have approved the Protocol. (45) Russia produces about 17 percent of the world’s green-house gases. The United States, the world’s biggest producer, withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol after President Bush took office in 2001. So, Russia’s approval is required to put the Kyoto Protocol into effect.(46) To join the W.T.O., a country must reach trade agreements with major trading countries that are also W.T.O. members. Russia must still reach agreements with China, Japan, South Korea and the United States.。
