[00:07.65]Part A Directions:
[00:11.62]For Questions 1- 5,you'll hear an interview between a reporter
[00:17.48]and the leader of the Cyclist Association¹.
[00:22.33]While you listen,
[00:25.08]fill out the table with the information you've heard.
[00:29.65]Some of the information has been given to you in the table.
[00:34.51]Write only 1 word or number in each numbered box.
[00:39.55]You now have 25 seconds to read the table below.
[00:45.71]W:Why do you choose the route to the delta² of the Changjiang River?
[00:53.66]M:First of all,
[00:56.42]we incline³ to visit the area because it has developed rapidly
[01:02.38]and got great financial achievements
[01:06.53]after the adoption⁴ of reforms and open-door policy
[01:11.58]We are very curious about how the enterprises⁵ in that area operate
[01:17.53]and want to promote their experiences.
[01:21.97]Secondly,we intend to investigate the environmental conditions there.
[01:28.32]It is said that the water pollution in the Changjiang River
[01:33.49]has severely⁶ worsened the industrial quality
[01:38.53]and the deforestation has frequently happened.
[01:43.81]We plan to take some photos
[01:47.96]and report the information to the local government if possible
[01:53.14]And of course,the fascinating scenery along the route
[01:58.78]is also an important reason for the choice.
[02:03.64]W:Then how long is the journey?
[02:07.29]M:About 2100 kilometers,
[02:11.87]almost the same distance as the previous ones
[02:16.31]W:How many members are there in the group?
[02:20.15]M:Theoretically,
[02:23.39]12 would be the perfect member for a team.
[02:28.06]But since everyone is so passionate⁷ and devoted⁸ in the preparation
[02:34.02]that usually we will choose 18 to 20 people altogether.
[02:39.97]W:Have you got any financial aid?   M:Not yet.
[02:44.83]But in the first and the third activities,
[02:49.51]we did receive help from  our alumni.
[02:53.87]We hope we will be lucky enough this time
[02:58.26]Even if we get no aid,our resolution
[03:02.70]to reach the destination will not be shaken.
[03:07.27]Anyway,we are a group of young people,
[03:12.42]so we do not think there's anything
[03:16.49]unconquerable to prevent us from our dreams
[03:21.25]W:Anything to say to our readers?
[03:25.01]M:Our Cyclist Association is an organization full of youthful⁹ vigor¹⁰.
[03:31.49]I hope that all the young people
[03:35.46]who have dreams and are fond of adventure will join us
[03:40.81]I with all the readers of your magazine
[03:45.67]would have a happy and special New Year.
[03:50.53]The twenty-first century requires healthy body and healthy mind".
[03:56.70]I just hope that all intelligent students
[04:01.37]would smell the flower once a while.
[04:05.63]No doubt the Cyclist Association is one of the best choices.
