Test One Section A 11. W: Bob, look at all the beautiful clothes displayed in the window! Aren’t they dazzling? M: This is Versace. You have to pay through the nose to buy even a shirt here. Q: What does the man mean? 12. M: The team leader says he’s inviting us to go the restaurant around the corner to celebrate the success on your last project. Are you coming with you? W: I would love to, but that would ruin my plan of losing weight. You guys have fun there. Q: Why does the woman refuse to go with the man? 13. W: I heard you have arranged to meet Mr. Bush on Wednesday. So I don’t have to write to him, do I? M: But would you please call him on Tuesday to confirm the meeting? Q: What are the speakers talking about? 14. W: Larry told me he wanted to go to the drama school and his dream was to be a star in Hollywood. M: He is not really handsome and what’s worse, he can’t even speak very clearly. Q: What can you learn about Larry? 15. W: Aaron, can you give me a hand? The sofa is too heavy, but I need to move it to the other side of the room. M: The movie is so interesting and I don’t want to miss the story. Can you wait for a couple of minutes till the commercials are on? Q: What is the man doing? 16. M: Ms. Dawson, what were you doing when the man with the mask took his gun out? W: Oh, it was so terrible. I was just talking with the bank clerk when he pointed the gun to me and told me to like down on my face. Q: What are they talking about? 17. M: Which model of the TV sets are you interested in purchasing? W: Mm, the TWX model is really a bargain. But I do need to talk with my husband before making the decision. Q: What is the woman doing? 18. W: It’s a miracle that John got the job! There were so many applicants and John is not experienced at all. M: It must be his charming personality that brings him the good luck. Q: Why is the man surprised? Conversation One W: Nick, Nick! Here you are! I’ve been looking for you everywhere. M: Susan. Look at you. You are out of breath. What’s the matter? W: Have you heard of the hip-hop dancing competition? M: Yes, of course. Everybody has been talking about it recently. W: (19) Look at what I’ve got. A registration form. You are such a wonderful hip-hop dancer. Why don’t you take part in it? M: Oh. This…Mmm…Actually, I don’t care much for the competition. W: (20) But you enjoy dancing so much and you make a habit of practicing everyday. M: well, dancing is one thing and the competition is another. W: come on. What’s the big difference? M: I only do hip-hop with friends. I don’t feel like dancing in front of a huge group of strangers, not to mention being on TV and seen by thousands even millions of people. It’s quite something for me. W: I see. But I still think you should be part of it. You can meet more people who also love hip-hop in the competition and make more friends. M: The final examination week is coming, too. I don’t think I should spare any time on this competition at this moment. W: The final examination is important. (21)But the competition won’t begin until two weeks after the final exams. You can practice during that time. Why don’t you take the form with you and talk with your hip-hop friends? You don’t have to make the decision now. M: Thank you, Susan. I will think about it carefully. W: But remember, the deadline for registration is one week before the final exam begins 19. What does Susan want Nick to do? 20. What can you learn about Nick from the conversation? 21. When will the hip-hop dancing competition begin? Conversation Two W: Michael, where are you heading? You seem to be in a hurry. M: Oh, Samantha, I am on my way to the bookstore. The professor has just recommended to us a book on western culture. W: I am also going to the bookstore. Let’s go there together and you can tell me something about the book on the way. M: All right. The professor says the book is written by a famous sociologist and it contains not only theory, but many stories illustrating all the culture differences between the east and the west. W: It must be a good book. M: yes, What’s more, the writer has chosen simple but humorous language to make the book even more interesting. W: Mm, as far as I am concerned, a good book is one that makes people want to read. M; That’s true. A good writer knows how to draw the readers’ attention. W: But why are you in such a hurry? Are you really so eager to read the book? M: Well, there are over 200 students in my class and the professor made the recommendation in the class. I’m afraid if I don’t get there early enough, it will be sold out. W: But why don’t you take advantage of the reservation system of the bookstore? You can always make the reservation online or through telephone. M: I tried both. The website seems to be jammed and I can’t get through by phone. Considering the popularity of the book, I’m afraid I have to stand in line and try my luck. W: I happen to have a friend working part-time in the bookstore. Let me call him and see if he can do anything about it. M: really?! It would be wonderful. Thank you very much. 22. Where is the conversation most likely taking place? 23. Where does Michael get the information about the book? 24. Which of the following is true about the book? 25. Why is Michael in a hurry? Section B Passage One The portable, paperless e-newspapers would be a huge environmental win, eliminating the need to cut down trees and burn gasoline delivering the traditional folded parcels to reader’s driveways. Like many technologies, however, e-paper has been slow to take off. In the past year, since Amazon introduced its Kindle electronic reading device, thousands of Americans have experienced the pleasures of e-books—but for most people, e-newspapers aren’t yet a reality. Millions of us already read paperless newspapers and magazines on the Web, but e-newspapers would offer different benefits for both readers and publishers. For consumers who already spend too many hours starting at PC screens, e-newspapers would offer portability and a simple reading environment, free from e-mail bells ringing or Instant Messages popping up mid-paragraph. Among publishers, there’s real hope readers will pay subscription fees for those benefits, and that advertisers will pay considerably more for ads on e-readers than they do on the Web. For a primitive look at how e-newspapers might work, consider the Kindle, Amazon currently offers 24 newspapers for use on the device. Subscribers pay $5.99 to $14.99 per month, and each issue arrives wirelessly before sunrise. However, e-reader enthusiasts describe reading a newspaper on the Kindle as disappointing. The Kindle’s black-and-white screen doesn’t handle paragraphs or graphics well, and its e-papers carry no advertising. Instead of offering well-designed pages that entice readers to skim a story they might otherwise skip, today’s e-newspapers merely list headlines or tops of articles, which makes it hard to decide what’s worth reading. 26.Which of the following can best describe the benefits of e-newspapers? 27. What can you learn of Kindle? 28.Which of the following is the disappointing feature of reading e-newspapers on the Kindle? Passage B Preventing childhood injuries would seem a tough task. But there’s a long list of proper ways to make the world safer for children. The World Health Organization wants its 193 member nations—and especially those in the developing world, where most deaths from injury occur—to know that accidents don’t have to happen. Many prevention strategies applied by rich societies are only now being adopted in the developing world. They include strict drunken-driving laws; requirements that wells be covered; installing window guards in upper-story apartments; and establishing poison-control centers and burn units. Traffic injuries are perhaps the most dramatic example of how much could be gained if prevention measures could be carried out more broadly. Traffic injuries are the leading cause of death worldwide for 15-to-19-year-olds and the second-leading cause for children 5 to 14. But the use of seat belts, child seats and helmets is still not required in many countries. For society, the payoff of prevention efforts is huge. For every $1 invested in bile helmets and child seats, for example, $29 is save in health care, disability and lost-income costs. But for individuals, prevention is often economically burdensome. Parents have to work longer and harder if they want to improve their children’s safety condition. At the same time, some countries have risks not widely shared by others. Deaths rates from burns are 11 times as high in developing countries as in industrial ones. European and American boys and girls have virtually equal rates of death from fire. In South Asia and Southeast Asia, girls’ mortality is three times that of boys because girls assist in family cooking at an early age. 29.What can your learn from the passage? 30. What is the effective prevention against injury? 31. For which of the following age groups, traffic injuries are the leading cause of death worldwide. 32.What conclusion can you draw from the passage? Passage Three Most graduates programs in American universities produce a product for which there is no market and develop skills for which there is decreasing demand, all at a rapidly rising cost. Unfortunately, this mass-production university model has led to division where there ought to be cooperation. In my own religion department, for example, we have 10 faculty members, working in eight branches, with little in common. And as department fragment, research and publication become more and more about less and less. The emphasis on narrow scholarship also encourages and educational system that has become a process of copying. The dirty secret of higher education is that without graduate students who are not paid well to help in laboratories and with teaching, universities couldn’t conduct research or even instruct their growing undergraduate populations. That’s one of the main reasons we will encourage people we enroll in doctoral programs. In other words, young people enroll in graduate programs, work hard for little pay and assume huge debt burdens, all because of the misleading promise of faculty appointments. But the truth is that there will always be too many candidates for too few openings. The other obstacle to change is that colleges and universities are self-regulating or governed by peer review. While administrations theoretically have some management responsibility, in practice, departments operate independently. To complicate matters further, once a faculty member has been granted tenure, there is almost none supervision. If American higher education is to thrive in the 21st century, colleges and universities must be regulated and completely restructured. 33.What can you learn about the department the speaker is working in? 34.Which of the following is TRUE about the post-graduates life in the university? 35.What’s the speaker’s attitude toward the post-graduate education in the United States? Section C exhibition; features; expect; photographs; right; unique; vision; technique; 44. You never have a sense of feeling sorry for these people. 45. This exhibition is extraordinary and revolutionary for many reasons. 46. In that way, it’s so wonderful that your photographs say it all. 本文来源：https://www.dywdw.cn/b59646513c1ec5da50e270a6.html
