How can I help you?[17:40.38]M: I’m fixing up on next project team meeting,[17:43.77]and I just want to check some possible dates with you.[17:46.96]W: Fine, let me just get my diary.[17:49.81]OK, which dates are you looking at?[17:53.43]M: I’ve spoken to the others,[17:56.64]and they prefer either the third week of May or the second week of June. [18:02.22]W: Yeah, both of the weeks are pretty clear at the moment[18:06.36]except for the 11th of June.[18:09.13]M: Right, I’ve got that.[18:10.87]W: So where is the meeting taking place this time?[18:14.57]M: It was going to be in London.[18:17.56]But I spoke to Carlos in Mexico City and he suggested Chicago.[18:22.61]He thinks it will be more convenient for most of the team.[18:26.39]W: He’s probably right.[18:27.99]It’ll certainly be much easier for me as well.[18:31.43]Because I can fly from Toronto,[18:33.67]and I’m sure you can find a meeting room somewhere near the airport. [18:37.81]M: That’s a good idea.[18:39.29]I’ll check up some hotels in that area[18:42.71]and get back to you towards the end of the week.[18:45.54]W: Fine, but I’m not in the office on Friday.[18:48.68]M: Ok. I’ll call you later in the afternoon on Thursday.[18:53.38]W: No problem. Bye.[18:55.27]Questions 4 to 6[19:12.68]are based on the following conversation．[19:15.34]At the end of the conversation,[19:17.94]you will be given 15 seconds to answer the questions．[19:22.26]Now, listen to the conversation.[19:25.82]M: We are having a debate on advertising Thursday evening,[19:30.74]and I have to take part.[19:32.79]W: That’s interesting.[19:34.80]I should like to hear what people think about advertising.[19:36.93]M: What’s there to say? We must have advertising, mustn’t we?[19:42.85]W: Why?[19:44.22]M: Well, we wouldn’t know what there was to buy[19:47.08]if we didn’t have advertisements.[19:49.99]W: Yes, that’s true.[19:52.26]Up to a point, advertisements provide information that we need.[19:57.24]If someone has produced a new article,[19:59.96]naturally, the seller wants to tell us about it.[20:03.15]M: Yes, and the advertisements tell us which product is the best. [20:07.58]W: Do they? I don’t think so.[20:09.77]Every manufacturer says that his product is the best,[20:13.72]or at least tries to give the impression.[20:16.21]Only one can be the best, so the others are misleading,[20:20.15]aren’t they?[20:21.19]M: Well, in a way, I suppose,[20:23.80]but we don’t have to believe them, do we?[20:26.51]W: Are you saying that advertisements aren’t effective?[20:29.98]I don’t think that intelligent businessmen will spend millions of dollars on advertising[20:35.24]if nobody believes the advertisements,do you?[20:38.20]M: Perhaps not, but after all,[20:41.12]it’s their money that they are spending.[20:43.27]W: Is it? I think not.[20:45.18]The cost of advertising is added to the price of the article.[20:48.65]You and I and all the other people[20:51.47]who buy the article pay for the advertising.[20:54.49]M: Well, I suppose we get something for our money, some information. [20:59.35]W: Yes, but don’t forget it is often misleading information,[21:03.43]and sometimes harmful.[21:04.97]M: Harmful?[21:06.03]W: What about the advertisements desired to persuade young people to smoke cigarettes?[21:11.07]Wouldn’t you say they are harmful?[21:13.01]M: You’ve given me a lot to think about.[21:15.59]I’m quite looking forward to the debate now.[21:18.53]Questions 7 to 10 are based on the following conversation．[21:38.14]At the end of the conversation,[21:40.69]you will be given 15 seconds to answer the questions．[21:44.52]Now, listen to the conversation.[21:47.74]W: So Mr. Brown, this is your bed, and as you can see,[21:52.94]there are three other beds in the ward.[21:54.97]Have you got everything you need?[21:57.03]M: Yes, nurse, I think so.[21:59.17]I followed the hospital’s advice,[22:02.02]and I’ve only brought a few belongings with me.[22:04.29]W: Good, you can see the reasons why we ask you to do that,[22:08.58]the cupboard is really very small.[22:11.18]M: Yes. Nurse, can you tell me what the visiting hours are?[22:16.61]W: Yes, of course. They are in the afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30[22:21.66]and in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00,[22:24.35]but remember that only two people can see you at the same time.[22:28.91]M: I see. What other rules are there?[22:33.19]W: Yes. We start pretty early.[22:35.69]We wake you at 6 o’clock,[22:37.09]and breakfast is at 8 o’clock, lunch is at noon,[22:40.26]there is tea at 3:30, and supper is at 6 o’clock.[22:44.32]M: Oh, that’s very different from what I have been used to.[22:48.20]You’d better tell me the rest of the rules here.[22:51.32]W: Yes. Well, you can see the no smoking sign,[22:55.48]we don’t allow smoking in the wards, and the same goes for alcohol. [23:00.05]However, if you do need to smoke, there are special lounges.[23:04.34]M: Oh, I don’t smoke, so it doesn’t affect me.[23:07.59]W: Good.[23:08.63]SECTION B PASSAGES[23:32.20]In this section，you will hear several passages．[23:36.77]Listen to the passages carefully[23:39.51]and then answer the questions that follow．[23:42.38]Questions 11 to 13[23:45.88]are based on the following passage．[23:48.37]At the end of the passage,[23:50.57]you will be given[23:51.80]15 seconds to answer the questions．[23:54.69]Now, listen to the passage.[23:57.55]In my opinion,[23:59.57]the most important thing[24:01.33]when choosing a hotel for an international conference[24:05.28]is the meeting room or rooms.[24:07.66]For example, you may need a large room[24:11.24]where everyone can be together for keynote speeches or presentations, [24:16.57]and smaller meeting rooms for informal group discussions.[24:21.04]Then, if people are coming from different countries,[24:24.99]you need to find out about the rooms for them to stay in.[24:28.46]They should be spacious and comfortable,[24:31.80]and have facilities for using email and laptops,[24:36.01]as people have to keep in touch with their offices or headquarters [24:40.84]even when they are away.[24:42.59]My next point is facilities for hotel guests,[24:47.96]things like a bar, a good quality restaurant,[24:51.99]preferably offering local food and fitness and sport centers.[24:57.80]These are important,[24:59.47]because delegates need to be able to relax after a long day of meetings [25:06.62]and get to know each other in informal situations.[25:10.25]Finally, for an international conference[25:14.15]where delegates are coming from different countries,[25:17.59]it can be very useful to choose a hotel[25:21.43]that has good transport connections with the nearest airport[25:26.23]and all places of interest.[25:28.24]This can save everybody a lot of time.[25:32.44]Questions 14 to 17 are based on the following passage．[25:52.22]At the end of the passage,[25:54.29]you will be given 20 seconds to answer the questions．[25:58.10]Now, listen to the passage.[26:01.24]Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,[26:04.37]it was a great pleasure[26:06.35]that I welcome you to the new Museum of Industrial and Rural life. [26:10.31]The museum provides us with the unique historical record[26:14.57]of industrial and agricultural life in the area.[26:17.82]Here, you'll find a wonderful collection of industrial and agricultural exhibits.[26:23.92]some of them date back 200 years[26:27.09]which reflect the history of our area over the last two centuries. [26:31.63]Until recently, the area was mainly agricultural,[26:36.39]and the world industries and traditions were all associated withagriculture.[26:41.82]The museum’s collections bring this heritage back to life,[26:46.50]with the fascinating blend of working and static displays.[26:50.75]From early times,[26:53.16]good communications with the rest of the country[26:56.21]have lead to the industrial prosperity for the area.[26:59.45]One example of such communications was the Roman Road,[27:04.39]Portsmouth Street which passed nearby.[27:07.50]Later, canals came to bring new prosperity,[27:12.15]and then the railways.[27:14.10]Good transport systems encouraged local industries,[27:17.94]especially those related to agriculture.[27:21.06]And the museum has collections of national significance from many of these. [27:26.09]Local people, too, have changed the history,[27:29.77]and the museum will introduce you to these and other local celebrities. [27:34.25]The displays with all items collected locally[27:38.73]show what local life used to be like.[27:41.03]Many displays of local items are in context and show,[27:45.50]for example, printers’ and cobbler’s workshops.[27:49.95]Whatever you are interested,[27:53.32]we hope the museum will have something for you.[27:55.20]Questions 18 to 20 are based on the following passage．[28:15.78]At the end of the passage, you will be given[28:18.95]15 seconds to answer the questions．[28:21.46]Now, listen to the passage.[28:23.92]Good afternoon, everybody.[28:26.70]Thank you very much for inviting me here[28:29.98]to talk about safety in dormitory and personal security.[28:34.29]First, a few points to bear in mind.[28:39.03]You’ll notice the doors of your dorm have two types of locks,[28:44.31]a Yale lock and a Chubb lock.[28:47.26]Make sure you double lock your door,[28:50.39]not just one lock, both of them,[28:53.14]however long you are going out for.[28:55.54]Make sure when you go out, all the windows are closed.[29:00.29]Those of you in the ground and first-floor rooms will notice that [29:05.79]you are locking windows, make sure you use them.[29:09.22]Lock them every time you go out; lock them at night.[29:13.70]If you have got expensive equipments in your room,[29:17.61]first of all, insure it.[29:20.34]So many people lose things and haven’t got insurance.[29:24.82]Make sure you insure it.[29:27.51]This brings me onto personal security.[29:32.27]Wherever possible, avoid working alone late at night,[29:37.92]especially girl students.[29:39.79]Avoid dark streets,[29:42.40]and try to stick to the well-lit streets whenever possible.[29:46.60]Also if you know you are going to be up late,[29:51.03]make sure you’ve got enough money for a taxi to get home again, [29:55.17]or arrange to stay with friends for the night.[29:58.16]It may sound absurd,[30:00.77]but don’t forget the university actually offers free self-defense classes. [30:06.48]I hope it something you’d never have to use,[30:09.85]but,um, it certainly was going along to a few self-defense sessions. [30:15.42]SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST[30:35.76]In this section, you will hear several news items.[30:40.71]Listen to them carefully[30:42.56]and then answer the questions that follow.[30:45.41]Questions 21 and 22[30:49.06]are based on the following news．[30:51.27]At the end of the news item，[30:54.18]you will be given[30:56.08]10 seconds to answer the questions．[30:57.59]Now listen to the news.[31:00.48]The New Year celebrations in Thailand were shattered by violence, [31:06.41]when 9 bombs exploded across Bangkok around midnight.[31:12.53]Three Thai citizens were killed and more than 30 injured.[31:17.51]No terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombings by Tuesday. [31:24.18]Some believe the explosions were the work of Muslim separatists. [31:29.80]Bombings and shootings occur almost daily in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces:[31:38.10]Yala, Narathiwat and Purtonia have a dominant Muslim population[31:45.66]and have long complained of neglect and discrimination[31:49.36]in the largely Buddhist nation.[31:54.03]They have asked for an independence and separate Islamic state.[31:56.85]Since 2004, the insurgences have carried out numerous attacks in the south, [32:04.47]and more than 1,900 people have been killed.[32:09.07]The Thai government has been unable to curb the violence,[32:14.27]though thousands of troops have been sent to the south.[32:18.25]Questions 23 and 24 are based on the following news．[32:33.72]At the end of the news item，you will be given[32:36.74]10 seconds to answer the questions．[32:39.20]Now listen to the news.[32:41.98]U.S. President George W.

You are requested to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three month of travel though Europe's had been aboard a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable news. I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, thought ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that the new, the different, is almost by definition scary. But ach time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not, but I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答。

Others never find a job in which they are really happy. / They remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. / When we choose our careers, we need to ask ourselves two questions./ First, what do we think we would like to be?/ Second, what kind of people are we?/ The idea, for example, of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive, / but unless we have great talent and are willing to work very hard, / we are certain to fail in these occupations, and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. / So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION1.

Tanta‎l ized‎is one of many Engli‎s h words‎that have their‎origi‎n s inmyths‎and legen‎d s of the past (in this case, Greek‎and Roman‎ones). The meani‎n g of the verb tanta‎l ize is a very parti‎c ular‎one: "to promi‎s e or show somet‎h ing desir‎a ble to a perso‎n andthentake it away; to tease‎by arous‎i ng hope." Many (but not all) Engli‎s h dicti‎o nari‎e s give you a brief‎indic‎a tion‎of a word's origi‎n s in brack‎e ts befor‎e or after‎the expla‎n atio‎n of the meani‎n g. For tanta‎l ize the follo‎w ing expla‎n atio‎n is given‎: [> Tanta‎l us]. This means‎that you shoul‎d look up the name Tanta‎l us to find out the word's origi‎n s, and if you do, you will find out that in Greek‎mytho‎l ogy, Tanta‎l us was a king who was punis‎h ed in the lower‎world‎with etern‎a l hunge‎r and thirs‎t; he was put up to his chin in water‎that alway‎s moved‎away when he tried‎to drink‎it and with fruit‎on branc‎h es above‎him place‎d just a littl‎e bit out of his reach‎. Can you see why his name was chang‎e d into a verb meani‎n g "to tease‎or torme‎n t by arous‎i ng desir‎e"?Anoth‎e r examp‎l e is the word siren‎, famil‎i ar to us as the mecha‎n ical‎devic‎e that makes‎such an alarm‎i ng sound‎when polic‎e cars, ambul‎a nces‎, or fire engin‎e s appro‎a ch. This word also has itsorigi‎n s in Greek‎mytho‎l ogy. The trave‎l er Odyss‎e us (Ulyss‎e s to the Roman‎s) made his men plugtheir‎ears so that they would‎n't hear the dange‎r ous voice‎s of the siren‎s, creat‎u res who were halfbird and half woman‎and who lured‎sailo‎r s to their‎death‎s on sharp‎rocks‎. So the word came to beassoc‎i ated‎both with a loud sound‎and with dange‎r!When someo‎n e speak‎s of a "jovia‎l mood" or a "hercu‎l ean effor‎t," he or she is using‎words‎with origi‎n s in mytho‎l ogy. Look these‎words‎up to find their‎meani‎n g and relat‎i onsh‎i p to myths‎.Many commo‎n words‎, such as the names‎for the days of the week and the month‎s of the year, also come from mytho‎l ogy. Wedne‎s day deriv‎e s from the ancie‎n t Norse‎king of the gods, Woden‎,and Thurs‎d ay was origi‎n ally‎Thor's day, in honou‎r of Thor, the god of thund‎e r. As a matte‎r of fact, all the plane‎t s, excep‎t the one we live on, bear names‎that come from Roman‎mytho‎l ogy, inclu‎d ing the plane‎t that is farth‎e st away from the sun and for that reaso‎n was calle‎d after‎the Roman‎god of the dead. This god has also given‎his name to one of the chemi‎c al eleme‎n ts.Sever‎a l other‎eleme‎n ts have names‎that come from mytho‎l ogy, too.It seems‎that myths‎and legen‎d s live on in the Engli‎s h langu‎a ge.85.

TEXT C My heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. l'm an American born and raised, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren't quite ready to let me in yet. "Please wait in here, Ms Abujaber," the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I'd flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was startled that I was being sent "in back" once again. The officer behind the counter called me up and said, "Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who's on our wanted list. We're going to have to check you out with Washington." "How long will it take?" "Hard to say ... a few minutes," he said. "We'll call you when we're ready for you." After an hour, Washington still hadn't decided anything about me. "Isn't this computerized?" I asked at the counter. "Can't you just look me up?" Just a few more minutes, they assured me. After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. "No phones!" he said. "For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information." "I'm just a university professor," I said. My voice came out in a squeak. "Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day." I put my phone away. My husband and 1 were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, even a flight attendant. I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: "I'm an American citizen; a novelist; l probably teach English literature to your children." Or would that all be counted against me? After two hours in detention, I was approached by one of the officers. "You're free to go," he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved, we were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet. "Oh, one more thing." He handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it. "If you weren't happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency." "Will they respond?" I asked. "I don't know --- I don't know of anyone who's ever written to them before." Then he added, "By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally." "What can I do to keep it from happening again?" He smiled the empty smile we'd seen all day. "Absolutely nothing." After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I've heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn't stick me in what he called "the ethnic ghetto" --- a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone's personal and professional identity -just like the town you're born in and the place where you're raised. Like my father, I'll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard. 90. The author was held at the airport because _____. A. she and her husband returned from Jamaica. B. her name was similar to a terrorist's. C. she had been held in Montreal. D. she had spoken at a book event. 91. She was not allowed to call her friends because _____. A. her identity hadn't been confirmed yet. B. she had been held for only one hour and a half. C. there were other families in the waiting room. D. she couldn't use her own cell phone. 92. We learn from the passage that the author would _____ to prevent similar experience from happening again.A. write to the agencyB. change her nameC. avoid traveling abroadD. do nothing 93. Her experiences indicate that there still exists _____ in the US.A. hatredB. discriminationC. toleranceD. diversity 94. The author sounds in the last paragraph. A. impatient B. bitter C. worried D. ironic TEXT D Public speaking fills most people with dread. Humiliation is the greatest fear; self-exposure and failing to appeal to the audience come a close second. Women hate it most, since girls are pressurized from an early age to be concerned with appearances of all kinds. Most people have plenty of insecurities, and this seems like a situation that will bring them out. If you were under pressure to be perfect, you are terrified of falling in the most public of ways.While extroverts will feel less fear before the ordeal, it does not mean they will necessarily do it better. Some very shy people manage to shine. When I met the British comedian Julian Clary, he was shy and cautious, yet his TV performances are perfect. In fact, personality is not the best predictor of who does it well. Regardless of what you are like in real life, the key seems to be to act yourself. Actual acting, as in performing the scripted lines of a character other than yourself, does not do the job. While politicians may limit damage by having carefully rehearsed, written scripts to speak from, there is always a hidden awareness among the audience that the words might not be true. Likewise, the incredibly perfect speeches of many American academics are far from natural. You may end up buying their book on the way out, but soon afterwards, it is much like fast food, and you get a nameless sense that you've been cheated. Although, as Earl Spencer proved at his sister Princess Diana's funeral, it is possible both to prepare every word and to act naturally. A script rarely works and it is used to help most speakers. But, being yourself doesn't work either. If you spoke as if you were in your own kitchen, it would be too authentic, too unaware of the need to communicate with an audience. I remember going to see British psychiatrist R. D. Laing speak in public. He behaved like a seriously odd person, talking off the top of his head. Although he was talking about madness and he wrote on mental illness, he seemed to be exhibiting rather than explaining it. The best psychological place from which to speak is an unselfconscious self-consciousness, providing the illusion of being natural. Studies suggest that this state of "flow", as psychologists call it, is very satisfying. 95. Women hate public speaking most mainly because of _____. A. their upbringing very early on.

PART I　DICTATION Choosing A Career When students graduate from college,many of them do not know how they want to spend their working lives and they sometimes move from job to job, until they find something that suits them and of equally importance to which they are suited. Others never find a job in which they are really happy. They remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. When we choose our careers we need to ask ourselves two questions. First, what do we think we would like to be? Second, what kind of people are we? The idea, for example of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive, but unless we have great talent, and are willing to work very hard. We are certain to fail in these occupations and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.
