[00:25.70]At the end of each conversation, [00:28.26]one or more questions will be asked about what was said. [00:32.39]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. [00:36.86]After each question there will be a pause. [00:40.08]During the pause, [00:41.80]you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), [00:46.95]and decide which is the best answer. [00:49.64]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer [00:53.60]Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. [00:57.07]Now, let’s begin with the eight short conversations. [01:01.79]11. W: I’m so soaked from the rain. [01:06.52]I’d go back to the room to change my clothes if [01:09.58]there were enough time before the performance. [01:13.02]M: I could use a clothes dryer too. [01:15.77]But I hate the idea of missing even a few minutes of this concert. [01:20.86]Q: What do we learn from the conversation? [01:40.80]12. M: Would it be better to buy a monthly meal ticket or [01:46.64]pay for each meal separately? [01:48.97]W: What difference does it make? [01:51.42]The price per meal is the same either way. [01:54.32]Q: What does the woman mean? [02:15.30]13. M: Oh, my goodness! [02:19.55]I am almost despaired. [02:21.65]I have added up these figures at least six times, [02:25.53]but each time the result is different. [02:28.31]Let’s do the calculations once again. [02:31.77]W: Yes, but why don’t we do them tomorrow? [02:35.02]It’s very late now and you need to have a rest. [02:38.49]Q: What does the woman suggest they do? [03:00.65]14. W: Now, you want to improve your English. [03:05.40]If I were you, I’d study for four hours every night. [03:09.74]M: That’s easier said than done. [03:12.37]You see, I haven’t got that much time to spare. [03:16.21]Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation? [03:38.46]15. M: Look, this is my new bedroom. [03:43.66]This is designed all by myself. [03:46.65]How do you like the style I have arranged [03:49.34]the furniture and put up the paintings? [03:51.88]W: It is fine, [03:52.84]yet I think the walls could do better with [03:55.28]some more lively paintings. [03:57.72]Q: What does the woman suggest the man do? [04:19.45]16. M: Jeff has lots of good ideas. [04:24.49]Do you think he’d be willing to come to the meeting? [04:27.83]W: Oh, I think he’ll be glad to come. [04:30.31]What’ll be difficult is getting him to speak before a large crowd. [04:35.10]Q: What does the woman imply about Jeff? [04:56.86]17. M: It is so great. [05:01.24]I have never seen a more interesting movie than this one, [05:04.86]and it inspired me a lot. [05:07.05]I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. [05:09.83]W: I don’t want to lie to you that [05:11.86]I almost fell asleep during the two hours in the theater. [05:16.15]Q: How did the woman feel about the movie? [05:38.28]18. M: That new position requires a letter of recommendation. [05:43.60]I guess the one professor Alexander wrote for me [05:46.97]last year should be fine. Don’t you think? [05:49.50]W: It is a little dated though. [05:51.91]You might need to submit a current one. [05:54.29]Q: What does the woman suggest the man do? [06:16.54]Now you’ll hear two long conversations. [06:20.01]Conversation One [06:22.91]W: Hello, I’m Jenny Johnson. How are you this morning? [06:27.85]M: Hello Doctor Johnson. [06:29.78]I can’t say I’m feeling well. [06:32.41]I have a pain and swelling in my knee. [06:34.85]W: What kind of pain is it? [06:36.72]M: It is a dull ache. [06:38.51]But sometimes the pain is constant, [06:41.13]and disturbs my sleep. [06:42.76]W: How long have you been feeling pain in your knee? [06:45.54]M: For about two years. [06:47.51]But recently, I feel pain in my fingers. [06:50.67]W: Have you had any swelling in your fingers? [06:53.35]M: Yes, a little. [06:54.86]W: How about your wrist or toes? [06:57.32]M: No, only my knees and fingers. [07:00.20]The pain becomes worse when the weather changes, [07:03.54]like in cloudy or wet weather. [07:06.26]W: OK. Let me see your blood test report first. [07:10.36]M: How is it? [07:11.25]W: Not very bad. [07:12.57]M: Do I have to have an operation? [07:15.25]W: No, I don’t think so. [07:17.07]I’ll prescribe some Chinese traditional medicine. [07:20.07]Also you need a treatment with rays below the red in the spectrum. [07:24.92]M: Do I have to come here every day for the treatment? [07:28.17]W: Not every day. [07:29.38]Can you come three times a week? [07:31.85]A course of treatment includes 20 times, [07:35.45]so you have to come for the treatment 3 times a week for 7 weeks. [07:40.64]M: How long does each treatment take? [07:43.17]W: 30 minutes. [07:44.39]M: OK. I’ll do that. [07:46.58]W: When you are at home, [07:47.95]use these hot water pads as often as possible. [07:51.76]Put it over your knees. Try to avoid using cold water. [07:56.56]M: OK. Thank you, Doctor. [07:59.21]W: You’re welcome. [08:00.40]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the [08:04.18]conversation you have just heard. [08:06.47]Question 19. What is the problem with the man? [08:30.55]Question 20. How does the woman treat the man’s problem? [08:53.81]Question 21. What does the doctor suggest the man do at home? [09:17.96]Conversation Two [09:19.92]W: Good morning and welcome to today’s program. [09:24.05]Have you always wanted to invest, [09:26.43]but didn’t know where to get started? [09:29.02]Today’s show will help you with this problem. [09:32.05]Very happily, we have Mr. Brown as our guest. [09:35.96]Welcome to our program, Mr. Brown. [09:38.71]M: It’s a pleasure to be here. [09:40.87]W: Now, Mr. Brown. [09:42.21]Can you give us some suggestions on [09:44.38]how to invest wisely? [09:46.25]M: Well, I think there are three basic guidelines to smart investment. [09:51.84]W: What are they? [09:52.93]M: Number one is to have clear goals. [09:55.81]Decide how many years you will invest for, [09:58.69]and what your needs will be in the future. [10:01.28]W: I see. First, we should have a clear goal. [10:04.37]That’s definitely important. [10:06.56]Then what is the second guideline? [10:08.78]M: Number two is to understand the range of possibilities. [10:13.22]You’ll want diversified investments: one with a mix of [10:17.83]stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and cash. [10:21.37]It’s a jungle out there. [10:23.05]Each of these products has different risks associated with them [10:26.68]and also different potential rewards. [10:29.53]Understand them before you buy, [10:32.03]so there won’t be any big surprises later. [10:34.81]W: That sounds quite reasonable. [10:36.75]Well, what about the third guideline? [10:39.15]M: Finally, number three is to have realistic expectations. [10:43.53]Keep this in mind: [10:45.03]he who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year. [10:49.51]You should invest for the long term since [10:52.07]the stock market has both up and down years. [10:54.93]W: That’s quite true. For example, [10:57.06]over the past several years, [10:58.90]New York stocks have averaged 30% annual returns, [11:03.53]but this may not continue for long. [11:06.19]Well, that’s today’s show. Thank you, [11:09.35]Mr. Brown, for joining us. [11:11.63]M:My pleasure. [11:13.73]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. [11:20.20]Question 22. What are the two speakers mainly talking about? [11:44.26]Question 23. What is the first guideline to smart investment? [12:07.72]Question 24. What should investors understand before they invest? [12:32.38]Question 25. What do we learn about the stock market from the conversation? [12:56.52]Section B [12:58.24] Directions: [13:00.74]In this section, [13:02.36]you will hear 3 short passages. [13:04.99]At the end of each passage, [13:07.30]you will hear some questions. [13:09.43]Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. [13:14.55]After you hear a question, [13:17.15]you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). [13:24.15]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer [13:27.37]Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. [13:30.62]Passage One [13:32.72]Learning a second language is never easy, [13:36.20]and, generally speaking, [13:38.19]the older one is when one attempts a new language, [13:41.85]the more difficult it becomes. [13:43.96]This is at least partly due to what is known as language interference, [13:48.94]meaning that the linguistic patterns of [13:51.47]our first language interfere with those of the second [13:55.23]because no two languages have exactly [13:58.57]the same sounds and grammatical structures. [14:01.38]All languages have obligatory categories of grammar [14:05.75]that may be lacking in other languages. [14:08.41]Russian—unlike English—has an obligatory category for [14:12.59]gender which demands that a noun, [14:14.87]and often a pronoun, [14:16.63]specify whether it is masculine or feminine. [14:20.03]Likewise, [14:21.50]when translating an English story into Chinese in which [14:25.53]a character identified as cousin appears, [14:28.44]a Chinese translator requires to know whether [14:31.24]it refers to a male or a female, [14:34.45]whether the character is older or younger than the speaker, [14:37.58]and whether the character belongs to [14:39.86]the family of the speaker’s father of mother. [14:42.82]Therefore “ biaomei ” can be translated into English only [14:47.36]by the awkward statement [14:48.89]“a female cousin on my mother’s side and younger than I”. [14:53.17]The Russian/English and Chinese/English examples illustrate [14:57.80]the basic problem in any translation. [15:00.71]No matter how skilled translators, [15:04.46]they cannot take the language [15:06.34]out of the speech community that uses it. [15:09.12]Translation obviously is not a simple two-way street between two languages. [15:14.84]Rather, it is a busy intersection among at least [15:18.21]two languages with all of their peculiar characteristics, [15:22.43]the cultures of the two speech communities, [15:25.03]and the speech situation in which the statement was uttered. [15:29.47]Questions 26to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. [15:35.56]Question 26. Why is it difficult for older people to learn a new language? [15:58.26]Question 27. What is the characteristic of Russian different from English? [16:21.48]Question 28. Why is translation a difficult thing according to the passage? [16:46.11]Passage Two [16:47.46]An allowance is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, [16:52.93]save and make their own decisions. [16:55.30]Children remember and learn from mistakes [16:58.28]when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly. [17:01.46]How large an allowance is appropriate? [17:04.27]Experts say there is no right amount. [17:07.59]Actual amounts differ from region to region, [17:10.94]and from family to family. [17:12.87]To set an appropriate allowance for your child, [17:15.87]work up a weekly budget. [17:17.84]Allow for entertainment expenditures such as movies and snacks. [17:22.13]Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, [17:26.25]bus fare, and school supplies. [17:28.53]“If you make the child responsible for these bills,” [17:32.35]says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, [17:35.47]“he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.” [17:39.95]Finally, add some money to make saving possible. [17:43.44]If you can, [17:44.98]keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. [17:48.29]A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out. [17:54.23]It can be tough, [17:56.26]but avoid excusing your children when they made a mistake with their allowance. [18:00.23]When Brooke Stephens was ten, [18:02.51]her mother gave her $5 a week, [18:05.07]$1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. [18:09.39]One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store; [18:13.39]then she called home for a ride. [18:16.02]“Mom made me walk home,” recalls Stephens, [18:19.70]now a financial planner in Brooklyn. [18:21.86]“At first I was angry. [18:23.77]But I realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.” [18:27.27]Experts advise that an allowance should [18:30.33]not be tied directly to a child’s daily housework. [18:33.61]Kids should help around the house not because [18:36.08]they get paid for it but because [18:37.59]they share responsibilities as members of a family. [18:41.43]You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, [18:45.65]which can develop his or her initiative. [18:48.59]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. [18:54.89]Question 29. What can be inferred from [18:59.11]the passage about a child’s allowance? [19:18.89]Question 30. Why does the author mention Brooke Stephens? [19:40.31]Question 31. What does the author imply in the passage? [20:02.29]Passage Three [20:03.69]Play is the principal business of children, [20:07.23]and more and more in recent years research has shown [20:11.41]the great importance of play in the development of a human being. [20:16.04]From earliest infancy, [20:18.47]every child needs an opportunity and the right materials for play, [20:24.26]and the main tools of play are toys. [20:27.23]Their main function is to suggest, [20:30.42]encourage and assist play. [20:32.92]Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for [20:36.57]different stages of a child’s development. [20:39.17]In recent years research on infant development has shown [20:44.23]the standard a child is likely to reach, [20:46.95]within the range of his inherited abilities, [20:50.24]is largely determined in the first three years of his life. [20:54.15]so a baby’s ability to profit from the right play [20:57.58]materials should not be underestimated. [21:00.64]A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, [21:03.80]talked to and shown things and played with, [21:06.55]has the best chance of growing up successfully. [21:09.74]The next stage, [21:11.40]from three to five years old, [21:13.43]curiosity knows no bounds. [21:15.81]Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, [21:21.21]for trying out, experimenting and learning, [21:24.56]for discovering his own particular ability. [21:27.75]Bricks and construction toy; [21:30.06]painting and make things; [21:32.25]sand and water play; [21:33.97]toys for imaginative and pretending play; [21:37.12]the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. [21:42.12]By the third stage of play [21:44.28]development—from five to seven or [21:46.86]eight years—the child is at school. [21:49.45]But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, [21:53.58]at home or at school. [21:55.45]It is easier now to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. [22:00.62]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. [22:06.74]Question 32. What is the main function of toys? [22:29.21]Question 33.Why is it said the first three years of [22:33.56]one’s life are important? [22:52.26]Question 34. What do children at ages 3 to 5 like doing? [23:15.00]Question 35. What does the passage mainly discuss? [23:35.73]Section C [23:38.10]Directions: [23:39.60]In this section, [23:40.98]you will hear a passage three times. [23:43.58]When the passage is read for the first time, [23:46.60]you should listen carefully for its general idea. [23:49.89]When the passage is read for the second time, [23:53.20]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with [23:58.34]the exact words you have just heard. [24:01.45]For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 [24:06.33]you are required to fill in the missing information. [24:09.49]For these blanks, [24:11.89]you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down [24:16.50]the main points in your own words. [24:20.00]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, [24:23.18]you should check what you have written. [24:25.58]Now listen to the passage. [24:28.24]M:Daphna Edwards Ziman is one of the famous mothers in American history. [24:33.74]She is the mother of an adopted child, [24:36.80]for whom she had fought in the court. [24:38.80]This lady is indeed doing a noble job. [24:41.84]She has tried all she can to add some spark in the life of orphan kids, [24:47.52]who are deprived of the warm shelter of parenthood. [24:50.78]She has been continuously striving hard for [24:54.12]the rights of children everywhere. [24:56.22]The life of Daphna Ziman is so motivating that what [25:00.06]she has done for children greatly moves the American people. [25:03.87]What’s more, [25:05.00]her story inspires others to do something for [25:08.04]the well-being of society. [25:10.23]Daphna Edwards Ziman once said, [25:12.76]“Freedom, shelter, [25:14.82]health and nourishment are the rights of every child, [25:18.20]and my commitment to children is my entire life.” [25:21.48]As a matter of fact, [25:23.39]many instances in the history of Daphna Edwards Ziman show that [25:27.64]she has truly dedicated her life in advocating for kids. [25:31.92]Her aim of life is to educate people that [25:35.37]they should get more involved with children and [25:38.24]that they should make an attempt to become the child’s advisor, [25:41.36]guide and philosopher. [25:43.43]It was in the year 1966 when Daphna Ziman established Children Uniting Nations [25:50.24]that works for the welfare of children. [25:52.62]For her excellent work, [25:54.43]she was awarded with the “Triumph of the Spirit” award. [25:58.18]This mother truly deserves applause, [26:00.87]not for what she did for her own child, [26:03.56]but also for many other children, [26:06.10]to whom she has given a new ray of hope. [26:08.85]May God bless this great lady, [26:11.26]who lives for others and strives to bring a smile on the children’s faces. [26:16.60]Now the passage will be read again.
