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.。

[模拟] 公共英语五级模拟3Section I Listening Comprehension Directions:This sectionis designed to test your ability to understand spoken English. You will hear a selection of recorded materials and you must answer the questions that accompany them. There are three parts in this section, Part A, Part B and Part C. Remember, while you are doing the test ,you should first put down your answers in your test booklet, NOT on the ANSWER SHEET. At the end of the listening comprehension section, you will have 5 minutes to transfer your answers from your test booklet onto ANSWER SHEET 1. If you have any questions, you may raise your hand NOW as you will not be allowed to speak once the test is started. Now look at Part A in your test booklet.[听力原文]Questions 1 ～ 10:When you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your own body, what you imagine ( or, rather, what you feel)is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer than the one you see. And if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine your-self as having any particular size or shape.When you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs andthe natural resistance of the objects around you, the "felt image" of yourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were createdby your own actions and the sensations they cause.The image you make for yourself has rather strange proportions: certain parts feel much larger than they look. If you poke your tongue into a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous; you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror.But although the "felt image" may not have the exact shape you seein the mirror, it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consistentright and left and top and bottom, it allows you to locate new sensations when they occur. It allows you to find your nose in the dark, scratch itches and point to a pain.If the felt image is damaged for any reason—if it is cut in half or lost, as it often is after certain strokes which wipe out recognition of one entire side—these tasks become almost impossible. What is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one's own visual appearance. If one half of the felt image is wiped out or injured,the patient stops recognizing the affected part of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of sensation on that side, and, although he feels the doctor's touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side.He loses his ability to accept the affected side as part of his body even when he can see it. If you throw him a pair of gloves and ask him to put them on, he will only glove one hand and leave the other bare. And yet he had to use the left hand in order to glove the fight. The fact that he can see the ungloved hand doesn't seem to help him, and there is no reason why it should. He can no longer reconcile what he sees with what he feels the ungloved object lying on the left may look like a hand, but, since there is no felt image corresponding to it ,why should he claim the object as his?第1题：Mirror images is often different from the" felt images."A.YesB.No参考答案：A答案解析：第2题：The" felt image" is much more important because it helps you to be more confident.A.YesB.No参考答案：B答案解析：第3题：If you poke your tongue into a hole of your teeth, it feels very ting and slim.A.YesB.No参考答案：B答案解析：第4题：The" felt image" lets you recognize your physical existence in the world.A.YesB.No参考答案：A答案解析：第5题：You can find your nose in the darkness because of your "felt image."A.YesB.No参考答案：A答案解析：第6题：Strokes may sometimes destroy all of the mirror image.A.YesB.No参考答案：B答案解析：第7题：If a man loses the ability to recognize his left side he will lose feeling on his both sides.A.YesB.No参考答案：B答案解析：第8题：Stroke victims sometimes refuse to regard their injured sides asparts of their bodies because they are unwilling to admit their disabilities.A.YesB.No参考答案：B答案解析：第9题：A stroke victim can put gloves on both his hands.A.YesB.No参考答案：B答案解析：第10题：The talk is mainly about the importance of "felt images".A.YesB.No参考答案：A答案解析：Part B You will hear 3 conversations or talks and you must answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D.

I'll tell you about it later. First, let's see how we are doing for time. Two groups are still ahead of us, aren't they? The presentations on thefights of the consumer and the analysis of the stock market. That means I've got twenty minutes to sort out.W: You look cold. What happened?M: I've been standing outside in arctic temperatures for over an hour waiting for a bus.W: Over an hour. But I thought your apartment was only a ten minute bus ride to campus.M: In normal conditions, but the bus was delayed because of the weather, and when I stopped in a drug store to call home for a ride, the bus went by. Asluck would have it there was no one at home, so I had to wait another forty-five minutes for the next bus.W: That's Murphy's Law, isn't it? What did it say? If anything can go wrong, it will.

No doubt the store was filled with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beating and longing to get home. Presumably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humour and philosophic temperament—asindeed vagrants very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas,so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He submitted,cheerfully enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had a better Christmas than usual. He was put into prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television. Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas too.第14题：The tramp was locked in the storeA.for his own mistakes.B.due to a misunderstanding.C.by accident.D.through an error of judgment.参考答案：C答案解析：第15题：What action did the tramp take? HeA.looted the store.B.made himself at home.C.went to sleep for 2 days.D.had a Christmas party.参考答案：B答案解析：第16题：When the tramp was arrested, heughed at the police.B.looked forward to going to prison.C.took his bottles with him.D.didn't make any fuss.参考答案：D答案解析：[听力原文]Questions 17 ～ 20:M: Do you think women are generally better at certain things than men? W: Well, it seems to me women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time. I don't know whether this has to do with the difference in their(工团)brain or whether it's just how they have to cope more often with more than one thing. For example, it is usually women who work, have babies, look after the babies and take the main responsibility for looking after the home. Andmaybe it's practicing all that makes women be better able to do more than one thing at a time. Men, it seems to me, can only concentrate on one thing at a time, including boring domestic things like washing the dishes. If a friend of mine who is a man washes the dishes he'll find it quite difficult to conduct a conversation at the same time, whereas if I'm doing the dishes I'm alwaystalking to someone, probably cooking something as well, and finding that nottoo stressful.M: Do you think women are more interested in personal relationships than men?W: Generally, yes, though again I don't know if this is because that from an early age they are taught to please other people, whereas men are always taught to please themselves. I think relationships are more central to most women's lives. For example, I think men don't have very good conversations with each other, whereas women do. If you listen to women talking, often they will be having, after a relatively short time of knowing each other, fairly personal and truthful conversations, whereas men have conversations not about what I'd call real things. They will talk about their work in a very superficial way, or their interests in a very superficial way, for example, and football is the-um-,just a sort of way for men to relate to each other without actually saying anything important, it appears to me.第17题：According to the woman, why women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time?A.She doesn't know the reason exactly.B.Because women are smarter than men.C.Because women have more things to deal with than men.D.Because men always refuse to deal with more than one thing at the same time.参考答案：A答案解析：第18题：Why are women much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time, but men are not as good?A.Because women have better abilities.B.Because men are not used to housework.C.Because men lack practice.D.Because men find it easy to concentrate on only one thing.参考答案：A答案解析：第19题：What do we know about the difference between men and women in termsof personal relationships?A.It is easier to get along with women than with men.B.Women tend to reveal their feelings more easily.C.Personal relationships are more central to most men's lives.D.It's easier to establish personal relationships with women than with men.参考答案：D答案解析：第20题：Why does the woman refer to football?A.To illustrate men's interest.B.To illustrate that men usually do not touch upon anything important in talking about their work and interest.C.To prove men are mostly football fans.D.To show that men intentionally try to avoid talking about their true feelings.参考答案：B答案解析：Part C You will hear a talk. As you listen, you must answer Questions 21～30 by writing NO MORE THAN THREE words in the space provided on the right. You will hear the talk TWICE. You now have 60 seconds to read Questions 21～30.[听力原文]Questions 21 ～ 30:The ten years of the 1960s was a period of profound change in manyparts of the world. In the United States, beginning with the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1960s, and extending through the Vietnam War, millions of Americans began to challenge established authority. These movements were initially political. Young Americans demanded that governmental policies in race relations and international relations correspond to the ideals of justice contained in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. By the end of the decade, however, challenges to authority were carried far beyond political issues and were directed at the social order and deeply rooted cultural patterns of the country.The generation that came of age in the 1960s, the Baby Boom generation, sought change in almost every aspect of life in the United States. For example,they experimented with cooperative economic institutions and communal living arrangements, broke sexual taboos, altered the process of education, explored non-Western spiritual traditions, developed a strong respect for the environment, and transformed popular culture. As a whole, these changes stood for a different set ofcultural values that provided a thorough critique of American society as it existed at that time. Although many" alternative lifestyles" were short-lived, cultural changesthat began in that period have had a continuing effect on much of American life ,particularly in attitudes toward male-female relations.All cultures are complex. They are a combination of closely related patterns of social interaction. As a result, changes in an important aspect of a particular culture will usually produce changes throughout the society. The Women's Movement that began in the United States during the 1960s is a typical example of this phenomenon. From the beginning, the Women' s Movement was influenced by cultural changes that had occurred earlier in the decade. The Civil Rights Movement for racial equality and the development of the birth control pill were particularly important—the Civil Rights Movement because women involved in the effort for racial justice began to see themselves as victims of social injustice, and the birth control pill because it gave women reliable control over reproduction.Social, economic, and legal equality and reproductive rights continue to be the basic principles of the Women's Movement. As some of these goals have been achieved, major changes have occurred in broader cultural patterns such as the economy and the family. At the present time, most of American women are employed. Employment is no longer confined to such traditional female occupations as teacher, nurse, or secretary. Women are now found in every occupation and at all levels of responsibility and authority. Participation in the economy has given many women an independence that has allowed them tochoose whether, when,and how to form a family. Working women within families now are part of an economic partnership with men in which both adults provide support for the family unit and are responsible for the quality of life.The Women's Movement has affected the relationship between men and women in the family in other ways as well. Women have challenged traditional sex roles in the household. Men are now expected to participate in child-raising and domestic activities to a much greater extent than in the past. Childbearing is now a matter of family choice, with women having the final decision in family planning.All of these cultural changes are strengthened in both the media and in the educational system. Children are growing up with self-images and expectations far different from those of earlier generations. Young men and women who have been influenced by the changes brought about by the Women's Movement over the past 25 years will carry those changes to the next generation.第21题：What does the lecture mainly concern? _________参考答案：Cultural changes．详细解答：第22题：The changes in the U.

to be able to recognise and understand different accents.oh, i see. i think i can learn c-language and a phonetic processing systemmhere.well, that's probably true, but you've got only 12 months and you want awdegree, don't you?yes.mwok, so there're two ways of studying for a degree here. you either take six courses, pass their exams and have your dissertation accepted or the other way is you do some research work and submit your project report.mwmwi think i'll take the second way.fine, but are you sure you can finish your project in 12 months?i don't know, but i can work 12 hours a day and 7 days a week.well, i'd suggest you spend some time in our library, trying to find out what other students have done before and perhaps re-consider your own project, to some extent. you might narrow your research area, concentrating on solvingone or two major problems. and, it'd be a good idea to talk to your colleagues in the lab, first. anyway, i'm sure we can work out something good. shall i see you again in three days' time?all right. i'll go away and do some thinking. then i'll talk to you about mymnew plan.good. see you then.wmthank you. bye-bye.you now have 20 seconds to check your

which are in three main locations: the library itself, with books and periodicals; the self-access language centre, with audio and video material; and the micro-computer lab. i'll start with the micro-computer lab, or micro-lab as we call it. it is fitted with 24 personal computers.if you are a member of the library, you may borrow call discs in french, german, italian, spanish and russian as well as english. by the way, call stands for computer aided language learning: c a double l, "call", for short. you may also borrow a range of word processing and desktop publishing packages. all disks are, of course, strictly for use in the micro-lab only. if you wish to print anything you should use one of the five machines around the outside of the room. four are connected to dot matrix printers, one is connected to the laser printer. if you want a top quality printout from the laser printer, come and see myself or any of the library staff. dot-matrix printouts are free but there is a charge for using the laser printer.there is always a queue to get to the terminals towardsthe end of term. come in and get to know how to use the computers early in the term and use them regularly, rather than just before exams and essay deadlines, in order to avoid delay or disappointment. training sessions are held on a regular basis, on the first and third thursday of each month, and are free to full-time students of the college. see you there. now, any questions?you now have 30 seconds to check your answers to questions 1 - 3.part c you will hear a talk given by a university lecturer. as

number?10. in summary, what did the speaker talk about?tapescriptfor those of you who are either already studying in the united states or plan to one day, it might be interesting to know something about the foreign student population in the united states. for the academic year 1995/96 there was a total of approximately 344,000 foreign students studying in the united states. this figure of 344,000 may seem like a very large number until you compare it with the total population of 241,000,000. the foreign student population has been growing for a number of years and is still growing, but the rate of increase has dropped sharply during the 1990s. during the 1980s, the population grew quite rapidly. for example, between 1985 and 1990, the average yearly increase was 12.5%. however, the picture in the 1990s is quite different. the rate of increase has declined quite noticeably. in fact, the rate of increase between 1994/95 and 1995/96 was only .5%, or one-half of one percent. although the overall rate of increase has dropped to only .5%, the number of students from some parts of the world is increasing while the number of studentsfrom other areas is decreasing. for example, during this same time period, that is between the academic years 94/95 and 95/96, there was a decrease in the number of students from the middle east, while the number of students from south and east asia increased. these changes in the number of students coming from different parts of the world no doubt reflected changing economic and political situations. i'm sure you are aware of many of these changes, and perhaps we can discuss them at our next meeting. for today let's confine our talk to first, a discussion of the origin of these students, or, in other words, where they come from; second, the kinds of studies they pursue; and, finally, the academic levels they are found in. if we have a little time left, we might quickly discuss in which geographic areas most of them go to school.let's discuss the origins of the foreign student population in the united states for the academic year 1995/96. let's discuss it in order from those areas sending the most students to those areas sending the fewest students. if we look at the figures provided by the annual census of foreign students in the united states for the year 1995/96, we see that most of the foreign students studying in the united states during this year were from south and east asia. this is a rather largegeographical area which includes such countries as china, korea, pakistan, india, malaysia, and indonesia. the total number of students from this area, south and east asia was 156,830. in other words, roughly 2 out of every 5 foreign students come from south and east asia. almost 24,000 of this total were from china. malaysia was close behind with just a little over 23,000 students. the next largest number of students came from the middle east. the number of students from the middle east came to about one-third the number from south and east asia. the fourth largest number came from south america. next came europe, africa, north america, and oceania. let's recapitulate what we've said. the largest number of students studying in the united states during the academic year 1995/96 were from south and east asia, followed by the middle east, south america, europe, africa, north america, and oceania.what fields are these large numbers of foreign students studying in? it probably won't surprise you to learn that the largest number are in the field of engineering. in fact, 21.7% of the total number are studying engineering. business and management is close behind, however, with a total of 18.9%.the third most popular field was mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3%. as you can see, engineering with 21.7%, business and management with 18.9%, and mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3% comprise about one half of the total number of foreign students.let's talk about which academic levels these students can be found in. foreign students can be found studying at all levels of higher education. as you might expect, the greatest number of them are studying at the undergraduate level ? approximately 158,000. the second largest group study at the graduate level and that number is just under 122,000. the rest study at junior colleges or in non-degree programs. it is at the graduate level that foreign students have the most impact. while foreign students comprise only 2.7% of the total u.s. student population, they account for 8.7% of all the graduate students studying at u. s. institutions. let me give you those percentages again so you can get a better feel for the overall picture. foreign students make up only 2.75 of the total u. s. student population, but they make up 8.7% of the total graduate student population.well, i see that's all the time we have today. we'll have to leave discussions of the geographic areas these students studyin until another time.now you are going to hear the talk a second time.repeat the textyou now have 3 minutes to check your answers to questions 1 - 10.that is the end of part c. you now

TapescriptFor those of you who are either already studying in the United States or planto one day, it might be interesting to know something about the foreign student population in the United States.For the academic year 1995/96 there was a total of approximately 344,000 foreign students studying in the United States.This figure of 344,000 may seem like a very large number until you compare it with the total population of 241,000,000.The foreign student population has been growing for a number of years and is still growing, but the rate of increase has dropped sharply during the 1990s.During the 1980s, the population grew quite rapidly.For example, between 1985 and 1990, the average yearly increase was 12.5%.However, the picture in the 1990s is quite different.The rate of increase has declined quite noticeably.In fact, the rate of increase between 1994/95 and 1995/96 was only .5%, or one-half of one percent.Although the overall rate of increase has dropped to only .5%, the number of students from some parts of the world is increasing while the number of students from other areas is decreasing.For example, during this same time period, that is between the academic years 94/95 and 95/96, there was a decrease in the number of students from the middle East, while the number of students from South and East Asia increased.These changes in the number of students coming from different parts of the world no doubt reflected changing economic and political situations.I’m sure you are aware of many of these changes, and perhaps we can discuss them at our next meeting.For today let’s confine our talk to first, a discussion of the origin of these students, or, in other words, where they come from; second, the kinds of studies they pursue; and, finally, the academic levels they are found in.If we have a little time left, we might quickly discuss in which geographic areas most of them go to school.Let’s discuss the origins of the foreign student population in the United States for the academic year 1995/96.Let’s discuss it in order from those areas sending the most students to those areas sending the fewest students.If we look at the figures provided by the annual census of foreign students in the United States for the year 1995/96, we see that most of the foreign students studying in the United States during this year were from South and East Asia.This is a rather large geographical area which includes such countries as China, Korea, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia.The total number of students from this area, South and East Asia was 156,830.In other words, roughly 2 out of every 5 foreign students come from South and East Asia.Almost 24,000 of this total were from China.Malaysia was close behind with just a little over 23,000 students.The?next largest number of students came from the middle East.The number of students from the middle East came to about one-third the number from South and East Asia.The fourth largest number came from South America.Next came Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania.Let’s recapitulate what we’ve said.The largest number of students studying in the United States during the academic year 1995/96 were from South and East Asia, followed by the middle East, South America, Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania.What fields are these large numbers of foreign students studying in?

But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far."All this hue and cry about eating salt is unnecessary," Dr.Dustan insists."For most of us it probably doesn’t make much difference how much salt we eat." Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 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.Of the hypertensive subjects, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience 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 ragh."So a recommendation that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense."Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable "moderation" in salt 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 infood.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 their doctor advises.But even the very vocal "low salt" exponent, Dr.Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr.admits that "we do not know whether increased sodium consumption causes hypertension." In fact, there is growing scientific evidence that other factors may be involved: deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity (much more dangerous than sodium); genetic predisposition; stress."It is not your enemy," says ragh."Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you don’t need it is wrong.Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up."1.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.2.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.3.In the third paragraph, ragh 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 in disease.[D] excessive salt intake has claimed some victims in the general population.4.The phrase "vocal ...exponent" (line 2, para.4) most probably refers to[A] eloquent doctor.[B] articulate opponent.[C] loud speaker.[D] strong advocate.5.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.Part BIn the following article some paragraphs have been removed.For Questions 1 - 5, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A - F to fit into each of the numbered gaps.There is one paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.From her vantage point she watched the main doors swing open and the first arrivals pour in.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 and declare loudly, "I want to put my money in the bank"1It 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 bills.His voice cut across the noise of other conversations and she heard him proclaim, "I’m in no hurry.There’s something I’d like you to explain."Two oth er desks were quickly manned by other clerks.With equal speed, long wide lines of people formed in front of them.Normally, three members of staff were ample to handle new account business, but obviously were inadequate now.Edwina could see Tottenhoe on the far side of the bank and called him on the intercom.She instructed, "Use more desks for new accounts and take all the staff you can spare to man them."2Tottenhoe grumbled in reply, "You realize we can’t possibly process all these people 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."3First, an application form called for details of residence, employment, social security, and family matters.A specimen signature was obtained.Then proof of identity was needed.After that, the new accounts clerk would take all documents to an officer of the bank for approval and initialing.Finally, a savings passbook was made 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.4Still 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.Edwina 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 the tellers,?having nothing else to do because of the melee, chatted back.Two assistant managers had gone to the central floor area and were trying to regulate the flood of people so as to clear some space at counters.They were having small success.5She decided it was time for her own intervention.Edwina left the platform and a railed-off staff area and, with difficulty, made her way through the milling crowd to the main front door.A.Yet she knew however much they hurried it would still take ten to fifteenminutes to open any single new account.It always did.The paperwork required that time.B.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 seemed, Edwina thought, as if all who were here had been briefed to be on best behavior.C.A security guard directed him, "Over there for new accounts." The guard pointed to a desk where a clerk?a young girl?sat waiting.She appeared nervous.The big 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.D.Even leaning close to the intercom, it was hard to hear above the noise.E.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 minutes of business, the bank was crammed with at least four hundred people,?with still more flooding in, and the line outside, which Edwina rose to check, appeared as long as ever.F.Obviously someone had alerted the press in advance, which explained the presence of the TV camera crew outside.Edwina wondered who had done it.Part CAnswer questions 1-10 by referring to the comments on 3 different cars in the following magazine article.Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1.SECTION IV: WritingYou have read an article in a magazine with the following statement in it.Write an article for the same magazine.You should use your own ideas, knowledge or experience to generate support for your argument and include an example.You should write about 250 words.Write your article on ANSWER SHEET 2."Economic development will inevitably generate industrial waste which in turn will cause pollution to the living environment.Economic prosperity and a clean environment can not coexist.You have to make a choice between the two."To what extent do you agree with the statement?Oral Test(For examiner)Part A: Self-introduction (This task will take about 2 minutes.)Interlocutor:Good morning (afternoon/evening).Could I have your mark sheets, please?
