[00:00.82]test 6
[00:03.25]Section A
[00:04.52]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
[00:08.34]11. W:Nobody told me that the teacher was going to
[00:11.60]inspect our dormitory room.
[00:13.89]M:I meant to tell you last night but Tony dropped in
[00:16.33]and then it completely slipped my mind.
[00:19.20]Q:What does the man mean?
[00:36.36]12. W:If you are not satisfied with the color of the sweater,
[00:40.18]we also have some in dark green and brown.
[00:42.94]M:Actually blue is fine, but I prefer something in wool.
[00:46.69]Q:What will the man probably do next?
[01:04.68]13. W:Professor Johnson is perhaps the
[01:07.30]most critical professor I have ever seen.
[01:10.28]M:No kidding, sure he wasn't like that
[01:12.14]last year when I took his course.
[01:14.79]Q:What can be inferred about professor Johnson?
[01:33.51]14. M:The job offered here looks very attractive,
[01:37.26]but it requires a reference1.
[01:38.84]Can I just submit the one Professor Lee wrote for me last semester?
[01:42.92]W:It might be a little dated. You'd better use a current one.
[01:47.06]Q:What does the woman suggest the man do?
[02:05.12]15. W:Do you like my new dress? It only cost me 80 dollars.
[02:09.62]M:Really? I spent five times more than you did on a similar one.
[02:14.08]Q:What does the man mean?
[02:31.02]16. M:Not many people came to the evening activity last night.
[02:35.71]W:Last night? I'd written down next Friday.
[02:39.28]Q:What does the woman imply?
[02:56.44]17. W:I've tried over 10 times today,
[03:00.00]but I never got through to the concert office.
[03:02.65]M:The number for ticket orders is always busy.
[03:05.64]Q:How does the woman probably feel now?
[03:23.51]18. M:The 3 books are 1 week overdue2.
[03:26.99]How much is the fine for late return?
[03:29.43]W:You're very lucky. Originally,
[03:31.79]the fine is 20 cents a day for each book,
[03:34.56]but there's a reduction to encourage returns,
[03:37.11]so you only need to pay half of them.
[03:39.51]Q:How much does the man need to pay?
[03:54.70]Now you will hear 2 long conversations.
[03:57.45]Conversation One
[03:59.09]M: Excuse me, could you help me?
[04:01.33]W: Yes. What seems to be the problem?
[04:03.40]M: Well, I was wondering if anyone has turned in a passport.
[04:06.75]W: I'm afraid not. Have you lost your passport?
[04:09.26]M: I think so. I can't find it anywhere in my hotel room,
[04:12.60]and I remember the last place I used it yesterday
[04:15.04]was in this department store.
[04:17.04]W: Where exactly did you use your passport in the store?
[04:19.84]M: In the suit dress department. I had to show it to pay for
[04:22.93]these dresses with my traveler's checks.
[04:25.37]W: Well, let me call the suit dress department
[04:27.92]to see if they've found a passport.
[04:30.40] (A minute later)
[04:32.22]W: Sorry,your passport's not been turned in there, either.
[04:35.46]M: Then what shall I do?
[04:36.99]W: You can fill in this lost property report,
[04:39.32]and I'll keep my eye out for it.
[04:41.28]Those kinds of things usually turn up eventually,
[04:43.68]but I suggest you contact your embassy3 and
[04:45.90]tell them about your situation,
[04:47.90]so they can give you a new passport in case it doesn't show up.
[04:51.39]M: You're right. Do you have a pen?
[04:53.38]W: Here you are.
[04:54.83]M: Oh, I seem to lose something every time I travel.
[04:58.94]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[05:04.10]19. Where does the man think he has lost his passport?
[05:22.56]20. What's the job of the woman?
[05:39.68]21. Which is not the suggestion given by the woman to the man?
[05:59.06]Conversation Two
[06:01.31]W: What do you think of the pollution problems in China?
[06:04.44]M: The pollution problems in China hit you in the face
[06:07.27]the moment you get out of the building,
[06:09.38]and you can't escape them in any major city in China.
[06:12.84]The air is thick with particulate4, that is, dust.
[06:16.84]Have you heard the sandstorm?
[06:18.95]W: Yes, I have heard it on TV.
[06:21.68]Once there's a sandstorm in Beijing,
[06:24.22]the dust can be found everywhere.
[06:26.08]It makes people very difficult to see.
[06:28.40]M: Yes, you are right.
[06:29.90]But I don't think air pollution is the most serious problem in Beijing,
[06:33.64]because some other large cities also
[06:35.53]have similar pollution problems awaiting solutions.
[06:39.39]W: I know the most important cause of sandstorm is deforestation.
[06:43.46]People cut down too many of the trees in order to raise crops,
[06:46.73]or much worse, sell logs to earn money.
[06:49.79]But I have no idea of the reason of the other kinds of air pollution.
[06:53.35]M: Coal burning, but although it is the number
[06:55.97]one cause of Beijing's pollution, it is reported that it is not the one
[07:00.45]that most affects people's health.
[07:02.88]W: What is the worst pollutant5 then?
[07:04.85]M: The worst pollutant from car fumes6 is lead.
[07:08.05]A high proportion of lead in the blood may
[07:10.33]result in mental retardation7.
[07:12.84]W: That sounds terrifying! What can we do about it?
[07:15.85]M: They have adopted many anti pollution measures aimed at reducing
[07:19.42]the pollution caused by coal burning boilers8 and car exhaust.
[07:23.71]W: That certainly isn't the most effective way.
[07:26.22]M: Well, another way out is to develop an efficient public
[07:29.20]transportation system to alleviate9 people's dependence10 on private cars.
[07:33.97]W: Em, it seems more effective. Ok! Thanks for your opinions.
[07:39.38]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[07:45.13]22. What's the most important cause of sandstorm?
[08:03.34]23. Which is not the reason why people cut down so many trees?
[08:22.90]24. Which one is not true according to the conversation?
[08:42.24]25. What's the most efficient anti pollution measure?
[09:01.73]Section B
[09:03.36]Passage One
[09:05.03]About a hundred yards along the path we came to a deep valley,
[09:08.96]on the far side of which the path led into some very thick bushes.
[09:13.69]Rather than push through these,
[09:15.43]I decided11 that if we walked along the bottom of this valley we could
[09:19.03]climb up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes.
[09:23.11]As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off a rock
[09:26.53]on which I had put my hand.
[09:28.49]On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen I saw two eggs.
[09:33.36]These were a kind that I did not have in my collection,
[09:36.91]so I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapped in a little dry grass.
[09:41.75]As we went further down the valley the sides became steeper and
[09:46.07]not far from where I had entered it,
[09:48.14]I came to a drop of about twelve to fourteen feet.
[09:52.07]The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy
[09:55.34]season had worn the rock as smooth as glass.
[09:59.24]As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my gun
[10:02.14]to one of the men and slid down it.
[10:04.76]My feet had hardly touchced the sandy bottom
[10:07.66]when the two men leapt down, one on each side of me.
[10:10.68]They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger.
[10:14.68]As a matter of fact I had heard nothing, possibly because of
[10:17.59]the noise I made sliding down the rock.
[10:20.85]The men said they had heard a tiger growling12 somewhere nearby,
[10:24.48]but they did not know from which direction the noise had come.
[10:28.30]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[10:33.39]26.Why did the writer decide to walk along the valley?
[10:51.68]27.What did the writer see when he disturbed the bird?
[11:10.11]28.Why was the rock difficult to get down?
[11:28.98]Passage Two
[11:30.40]And now for today's sports news.
[11:32.36]The London International Tennis Tournament ended today.
[11:35.42]Samuel Cox of the U. S. was the winner of the tournament.
[11:38.83]With Lloyd Smith of England finishing 2nd. Mr. Cox
[11:42.35]scored a decisive13 victory over Smith.
[11:45.18]This was Mr. Cox's 1st major victory outside of the U. S.;
[11:49.22]today also marked the 1st time that an American
[11:51.76]has won the London Tennis Tournament.
[11:54.16]When asked about today's victory,
[11:55.76]Mr. Cox stated that he just hoped to win again
[11:58.74]in next month's tournaments in Paris and Copenhagen.
[12:02.96]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[12:07.94]29. Where did the tournament described
[12:10.74]in this announcement take place?
[12:27.24]30. How many times in the past has an American
[12:30.62]won the London Tennis Tournament?
[12:47.02]31. What is Mr. Cox looking forward to?
[13:06.00]Passage Three
[13:07.31]Influenza14 has been with us a long, long time.
[13:11.02]According to some Greek writers on medical history,
[13:14.11]the outbreak of 412 B.C. was of influenza.
[13:17.75]The same has been suggested of the sickness that
[13:19.95]swept through the Greek army attacking Syracuse in 395 B.C.
[13:25.86]Flu is a disease that moves most quickly among people
[13:28.53]living in crowded conditions, hence it is likely to attack armies.
[13:33.65]In April 1918, flu broke out
[13:36.93]among American troops stationed in France.
[13:39.55]It quickly spread through all the armies
[13:41.66]but caused relatively15 few deaths.
[13:44.02]Four months later, however,
[13:45.54]a second outbreak started which proved to be a killer16.
[13:48.81]It killed not only the old and already sick
[13:51.36]but also healthy young adults.
[13:54.02]It went through every country in the world, only a few distant islands
[13:57.83]in the South Atlantic and the Pacific remaining untouched.
[14:01.84]Before the great outbreak ended,
[14:03.47]it had killed at least 15 million people .
[14:07.07]Medical science is still not certain what hit us in 1918.
[14:12.08]The virus of influenza was not found until 1933,
[14:16.07]so all that today can be said about the 1918 outbreak
[14:20.95]is the kind of antibodies it produced .
[14:24.34]The first big advance was also made in 1933,
[14:28.38]then a team of British doctors found the type A influenza virus.
[14:33.15]In 1940, a doctor of the United States found type B.
[14:37.77]Later type C was found, along with many subgroups of type A and B.
[14:43.07]Vaccines were prepared and used widely by the armies
[14:46.42]during the Second World War to prevent outbreaks.
[14:50.13]The flu virus proved trickier18 than most.
[14:52.78]A vaccine17 good against one type gave no protection against another.
[14:56.56]Indeed type A virus changes its nature so quickly that
[15:00.67]a perfectly19 good vaccine may lose its value because of the change.
[15:05.04]This increases the need for the speedy discovery of
[15:07.73]flu outbreaks, so that stocks of the right vaccine can
[15:10.96]be prepared quickly after an outbreak.
[15:14.09]Starting such a warning system was one of the first things
[15:17.33]done by the World Health Organization.
[15:20.56]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[15:25.73]32.Why is influenza easier to attack armies?
[15:44.28]33.How many types of influenza have been
[15:47.15]found excluding subgroups?
[16:03.58]34.How many people were killed in the flu outbreak of 1918?
[16:22.91]35.Which of the following is true according to
[16:26.14]the passage you have just heard?
[16:43.30]Section C
[16:45.19]The traditional American Thanksgiving Day
[16:47.34]celebration went back to 1621.
[16:51.04]In that year a special feast20 was prepared
[16:53.66]in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
[16:56.10]The colonists21 who had settled there had left England
[16:59.37]because they felt denied of religious freedom.
[17:02.31]They came to the new land and
[17:04.23]faced difficulties in coming across the ocean.
[17:07.28]The ship which carried them was called the Mayflower.
[17:10.70]The North Atlantic was difficult to travel. There were bad storms.
[17:15.54]They were assisted in learning to live in the new land
[17:19.46]by the Indians who inhabited22 the region.
[17:22.26]The Puritans, as they were called, had much to be thankful for.
[17:26.37]Their religious practices were no longer a source of
[17:29.30]criticism by the government.
[17:31.44]They learned to adjust their farming habits to the climate and soil.
[17:35.48]When they selected the fourth Thursday of November for their
[17:38.53]Thanksgiving celebration, they invited their neighbours, the Indians,
[17:42.64]to join them in dinner and a prayer of gratitude23 for the new life.
[17:47.17]They recalled the group of 102 men, women,
[17:50.44]and children who left England.
[17:52.59]They remembered their dead who did not live to
[17:54.86]see the shores of Massauchusetts.
[17:57.25]They reflected on the 65 days' journey, which tested their strength.
[18:03.98]The traditional American Thanksgiving Day
[18:06.20]celebration went back to 1621.
[18:10.60]In that year a special feast was prepared
[18:13.25]in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
