[00:04.28]I have a report which I want to check on before supper.

[00:16.14]2. M: How do you find your new dress?
[00:19.25]W: Well, it's quite nice really
[00:22.10]although I had a hard time getting used to being dressed in such an elegant one.
[00:26.85]Q: What's the woman's problem?
[00:28.87]3. M: Hey,Katharina.
[00:30.62]I've got a used copy of our physiology textbook for one third of the price.
[00:36.18]W: I'm afraid you've wasted your money.
[00:38.45]Yours is the first edition,but we are supposed to be using the third edition.
[00:43.44]Q:What has the man done?
[00:45.24]4.If we go away on a trip I will worry that no one is taking care of our home.
[00:50.99]Our neighbors have agreed to make certain that everything is in good order.
[00:56.29]What does the woman want to avoid?
[00:58.78]5.Usually I read very quickly and I am not careful to read every word.
[01:05.36]When I do that I think I understand most of what I read.
[01:09.41]Q: How does the man usually read?
[01:11.71]6. Tom,you seem to have lost your voice.
[01:15.76]What has happened?
[01:16.98]M: You know,our class just had a basketball match with Class Two.

[01:29.05]Q: Why did the man lose his voice?

[01:42.24]8. M:Where did your English teacher,Suzanne come from?
[01:46.29]W: She was born in Switzerland

[01:52.01]Now she has gone to America.
[01:54.31]Q: What country does Suzanne presently call her home?
[01:57.86]9.I guess I'll send Mary a picture of mine from Hawaii when I go there on my vacation.
[02:04.34]W: I'm sure that she'd be glad to get one.
[02:07.14]By the way,she has a collection of stamps.
[02:10.17]Q: What do we learn about Mary?
[02:12.75]10.I understand some words better when I read them than when I hear them.
[02:18.74]What about you?
[02:20.02]W: I am like that too.
[02:21.82]Q: What's the difference between the man and the woman when they read?
[02:26.13]Section B
[02:27.38]Passage One
[02:28.61]What is the best way to learn a language.
[02:31.17]We should remember that we all learn our own language well when we were children.
[02:37.00]If we could learn a second language in the same way.
[02:39.97]It would not seem so difficult.
[02:41.70]Think of what a small child does.
[02:44.31]He listens to what people say and he tries to imitate what he hears.
[02:49.64]When the child wants something, he has to ask for it.
[02:54.00]He is using the language,talking in it,
[02:56.88]and thinking it all the time.
[02:59.75]If people had to use a second language all the time, they would learn it quickly.
[03:04.87]We learn or own language by hearing people speak it
[03:08.45]not by seeing what they write.
[03:10.51]We imitate what we hear.
[03:12.76]In school,though you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak
[03:17.98]it is best to learn all the new words through the ear.
[03:22.42]You can read them, spell them, and write them later.
[03:26.21]11. How does a small child learn to speak?
[03:30.31]12. What's the best way to learn a language quickly according to the passage?
[03:35.61]13. What should we do first to learn new words according to the passage?
[03:41.49]Passage Two
[03:43.01]Living things take from their environment and give back to their environment.
[03:47.08]In other words, living things and their environment are interdependent.
[03:51.76]Living things take matter and energy from the environment
[03:55.42]and return matter and energy to the environment.
[03:58.42]For instance,animals feed on plants,or on other animals.And they return materials to the environment.
[04:05.66]This interaction goes on continually.
[04:08.40]Man also is in active give-and-take relations with his environment.
[04:13.18]However,there is one way in which man is different.
[04:16.71]Other living things do not change their environment the way man does.
[04:21.22]Man is not only adapted to the environment.
[04:24.54]He alters his environment in other complex ways.
[04:28.28]How is it that man can alter his environment.
[04:30.99]as no other living thing can.
[04:33.24]It is because of his brain.
[04:35.49]With his brain, man learns.
[04:37.81]Man's brain makes it possible for him to record what he learn.
[04:42.36]He puts his records in words,in pictures,in sounds.
[04:46.56]In this way man can pass on what he learns to other men.
[04:51.68]14.What's the relationship between living things and their environment?
[04:57.27]15.What's the difference between man and other living things according to the passage?
[05:04.04]16.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
[05:08.61]Passage Three
[05:10.10]Many large cities are anything but beautiful
[05:12.92]Streets are littered with trash.
[05:15.14]In this trash, however, there is still something that can be useful.
[05:19.84]If people want to solve the problem of waste
[05:22.64]there is no time to be lost.
[05:24.62]They must work out ways of making use of good things which are just thrown away as waste.
[05:30.81]When a car gets too old,it may not run any more.
[05:34.37]But the metal that the car was made of is still good.
[05:38.23]It can be put to use again.
[05:40.82]When a bottle is empty, it goes out in the trash.
[05:44.08]Garbage from food can be changed into fertilizer.
[05:48.06]But bottle glass can be ground into sand and used to pave street.
[05:53.12]But first you have to fish out all the glass and metal.
[05:57.07]Garbage can also be a good source for making building block
[06:01.40]which are then covered with concrete.
[06:03.65]Now,more and more machines are designed for this purpose.
[06:07.20]Some day,people will watch films in a magnificent cinema which has been built out of garbage.
[06:13.73]Future buildings,roads,and cities may be made form garbage.
[06:18.04]But so far,building beautiful cities out of garbage is only a dream.
[06:22.93]17.Which of the following can be an appropriate title for the passage?
[06:28.81]18.Which kind of garbage can be used to pave streets according to the passage?
[06:34.61]19.What should we do first to change garbage from food into fertilizer?
[06:40.67]20.Which of the following may not be made from garbage according to the passage |
