[00:00.97]1. M:In the past few months, I've introduced you five nurses.
[00:06.11]Now,what do you think of the latest one?
[00:08.62]W: Well,she is not the worst one.
[00:10.55]Between her illnesses last month.
[00:13.14]She could do something for me.
[00:15.41]Q: Which statement is true?
[00:17.61]2.M:Will the light rain prevent the scheduled flight from taking off on time?
[00:23.09]W: Of course,except when it lightnings rains and snows hard.
[00:26.96]So don't worry about that.
[00:29.00]The flight will depart on schedule.
[00:31.53]Q: What weather will not affect the departure of the flight?
[00:35.19]3. M: You know most of the scenic spots here.
[00:38.56]Where do you suggest we go to first?
[00:41.22]W:Well,now...I suppose you might start with Leopard Hill
[00:44.98]then go to the Temple of Heave.
[00:47.23]But I think the worthies place you should not miss.
[00:50.36]is the Imperial Palace which is not far from Tian'anmen Square.
[00:55.17]Q: What place is the worthiest one for visiting?
[00:58.31]4. W: I have a sore throat and I feel a bit dizzy.
[01:00.75]M: Well, let me see. Open your mouth and say "ah".
[01:04.25]W: Ahhh...
[01:05.56]M: Hmm.Inflammation of the tonsil.
[01:08.28]I'll give you some pills.
[01:10.26]Take one big one and two small ones three times a day.
[01:13.87]Q: How many pills will the woman take a day?
[01:16.82]5. W:In China,a lot of people get up at about five in the morning.
[01:21.89]Then they go to the parks to do their exercise.
[01:25.54]Many old people do taijiquan.
[01:28.05]M:In England more and more people go jogging in the morning,but not so early.
[01:32.60]Actually at five o'clock in the morning everyone is still asleep.
[01:36.65]Q: What do most Englanders usually do at five o'clock in the morning?
[01:41.14]6. M: Hello,Susan,this is Jim.
[01:45.11]I'm afraid I have not been able to come to the excursion.
[01:49.13]I was just asked to go to have a meeting.
[01:52.40]W: Do come after the meeting,Jim.
[01:54.64]We won't start until you come back.
[01:56.63]Q: Why did the man say that he couldn't join the excursion?
[02:00.05]7. W: I wonder if you have time to go to the school to meet our daughter.
[02:04.73]She has missed the bus.
[02:06.66]M: I do wish to, but I haven't got my report ready yet.
[02:10.66]My boss needs it tomorrow.
[02:12.64]Q: What does the man mean?
[02:14.71]8. M: Could you help me to decide what I should buy for my youngest sister's birthday?
[02:20.66]W: Remember you took many pictures of her at her last birthday party.
[02:24.84]Why not buy her a photo album so that she can put her pictures in it?
[02:29.13]Q: What did the man do last year for his youngest sister?
[02:32.57]9. W: Could you tell me what I should do if my computer refuses to work?
[02:37.85]M: Well,I'm sure you won't have any trouble,Mrs.Smith.
[02:41.35]But if something should happen,just call this number.
[02:44.54]They'll see that you get help.
[02:46.29]Q: What did the man really mean?
[02:48.35]10. M:Your house is always so neat,Mary.
[02:51.64]You must have a house-keeper.
[02:53.60]W: Oh,no.
[02:54.91]It would cost at least a hundred dollars a month to hire someone to do the work
[02:59.30]so I did most of it myself.
[03:01.47]I enjoy keeping everything neat
[03:03.71]but I have to force myself to mop the floor and wash things.
[03:07.11]Q: What does Mary like to do?
[03:09.12]Section B
[03:10.61]In (11)-{analyzing} factors likely to induce depression it is useful to
[03:15.13](12)-{distinguish} between "life events" and "life circumstances
[03:18.94]both of which (13)-{promote} stress though in different ways
[03:23.46]Stressful "life events" include (14)-{divorce} or loss of a spouse and loss of employment
[03:30.41]Stress-inducing "life circumstances" include single (15)-{parenthood
[03:35.24]low income, poor education, and responsibility for young childred
[03:41.01]circumstances that most often(16)-{afflict} the single-parent family head who is nearly always a woman.
[03:48.43]Any particular(17)-{incident} of depression
[03:51.31]is likely to include elements from both (18)-{categories}.
[03:55.51]As expected,epidemiological studies show that (19)-{more women than men exhibit signs of depression)
[04:03.69]The sex difference in rates of depression is also explained by a condition of learned helplessness.
[04:10.17]Society encourages women to be passive, not aggressive
[04:14.58]not to seek power, but to trust others and to nurture others
[04:19.34]to put the needs of others before their own
[04:22.31]to appreciate mastery in others and not threaten them with their own
[04:27.64](20)-{So any particular incident of depression may include a past history of learned helplessness
[04:33.94]as well as an immediate environmental agent of depression}. |
