Text 2

W: Peter, how is the weather now? Is it still raining?

M: No, but there’s still lots of clouds. The weatherman said the sun wouldn’t come out until next week.

Text 3

M: I’m sorry I was late for class today, Dr. Simpson.

W: Well, I’ll let it go this time. But you saw it disturbed the rest of the class.

M: Yes, I realized that. I won’t let it happen again.

Text 4

W: Hi, Mike. Listen, I’m coming back this afternoon, and I’ll take a bus from the railway station. So, you don’t need to come and pick me up.

M: OK, take care, and see you soon.

Text 5

M: Jenny, there’s an opening for an assistant manager in our company. You should give it a try.

W: Thank you George, but I’ve decided to travel a bit before finding another job.

Text 6

M: By the way, do you know what time it is?

Text 7

W: Harry, guess what? I’ve just received an email from Pamela. She and Peter are coming down to see us this weekend.

M: Oh, that’s good news! We haven’t seen them for ages.

W: Yeah. The last time we met them was at our wedding three years ago.

M: Did Pamela mention how long they’ll stay?

W: About one week.

M: Great! I can’t wait to show them around our new house.

W: Me too. We haven’t had any guests since we moved in here. If the weather is fine, we can have a barbecue in the garden.

M: Good idea. I’ll go to the market tomorrow to buy all the things we’ll need.

Text 8

W: Hello, everyone. Welcome to our program. Today, we are fortunate to have a special guest with us. Some of you may have heard of him before. He’s an artist. His works have received many prizes and have been shown in over one hundred exhibitions across the country — Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, to name just a few. His name is Chris Cucksy. So Chris, tell us a bit about yourself.

M: Well, I was born in Springfield, Missouri, and grew up in Kansas. I didn’t come from a family with wealth or position, but I did manage to get a master’s degree in fine arts.

W: When did you first start to make art? And what was the turning point in your life that made you an artist?

M: I always liked drawing as early as I can remember, so right from then, I knew what I was going to be: an artist.

W: What is it that always inspires you to create?

M: Nature is the biggest inspiration. I’m always inspired by things of beauty and harmony.

W: In just two weeks, and I am excited. I’ve been looking forward to this training program for a long time. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go.

M: Like what?

W: Like renewing my passport and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I’m gone.

M: You are not going to give it up, are you?

W: No way! I’ll never find another apartment like it around here. But I don’t like the idea of paying three months for an empty apartment, either. So, I’m looking for someone to take it while I’m away.

M: Um, let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas. He is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August.

W: Well, that’s exactly when I’ll be away!

M: Tell you what: I’ll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I’ll mention it to him.

W: Well, thanks, Bill.

Text 10

W: I hope I’ve given you a clear idea of the schedule for your London weekend. And, before I finish, let me just give you some advice which should make your stay more enjoyable. Firstly, please do remember to put on some comfortable shoes. London is a big place, and whatever you do, you’ll find yourself doing quite a lot of walking. So, comfortable shoes are really necessary. And secondly, let me ask you to please look after your money. Keep it safe at all times, and then you will not have any unpleasant accident, which could ruin your whole weekend. You’ll find a copy of your weekend’s schedule in your room. Take a look at it, and make sure you’re clear about everything. Well, that’s all from me for now. Go and leave your luggage in your rooms. I’ll be seeing you here again in fifteen minutes. Goodbye for now!

选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。

A

At the beginning of the century there was a big farm called Hollywood Ranch. It was near Los Angeles in California. A few years later Hollywood was one of the most famous places of the world. From the 1910s to the 1950s Hollywood was the film center of the world. Every family knew the names of the film stars Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Bergman and hundreds more.

The reason why people went to Hollywood to make films was the sun. At first people made films in New York on the east coast of the United States. But then they heard about Los Angeles where there are 350 days of sun every year. As they made all the films by sunlight, the west coast was a much better place to work.

Also near Hollywood you can find mountains and sea and desert. They did not have to travel far to make any kind of film.

When TV became popular in the 1960s, Hollywood started making films for television. Then in the 1970s they discovered people still went to cinema to see big expensive films. After twenty years they are still making films in Hollywood and people watch them all over the world.

51. Hollywood used to be a __________.

A. cinema B. big farm C. park D. market

52. Who was not mentioned as a film star in the passage?

A. Charlie Chaplin. B. Marilyn Monroe

C. Ingrid Bergman D. Greta Garbo.

53. People went to Hollywood to make films because __________.

A. it was a beautiful place B. you could find many film stars

C. there was a lot of sunlight there D. it was a famous place

54. Which statement is true?

A. The west coast was a better place to make films.

C. People no longer went to the cinema after television became popular.

D. Hollywood began to make films for television before the First World War.

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently, but: Listening is STILL a problem! First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. The first step is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.

Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (懊恼) by limited understanding. What should you do?Here is some of the advice I give my students:

Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.

Stay relaxed when you do not understand — even if you continue not to understand for a long time.

Do not translate what you hear into your native language.

Listen for the general idea of the conversation. Don’t concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.

I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first

went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two very important facts. Firstly, translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that — even if I didn’t pay much attention, I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

55. The best way to improve our listening is to _____.

A. practise as much as possible

B. find as many listening resources as possible

C. use the Internet like a radio station

D. speak naturally and read as much as possible

56. Which of the following is a good habit when listening?

A. Try to understand everything.

B. Try to get the main ideas.

C. Pay much attention to details.

D. Translate each word in your mind.

57. Why did the writer mention his / her experience in Germany?

A. To prove the importance of translating.

B. To show the problems of speaking a foreign language.

C. To tell us the importance of staying calm.

D. To point out an ineffective method of listening.

58. The underlined part “a wall” in the last paragraph refers to “_____”.

A. a communication barrier (障碍)

B. culture shock

C. language understanding

D. a little misunderstandingC

This story took place a long time ago. But it has been repeated time and time again. Everyone is moved by the true story.

An old man was knocked down by a car and was taken to hospital. He was badly hurt, and during his few returns to consciousness(知觉), he repeatedly called for his son. None knew where his son was. A dirty letter was found in his pockets.

The nurse learned that his son was a soldier in North Carolina.

The hospital called the Red Cross office to find the young man. The young soldier was rushed to the airport in time to catch the plane.

It was evening when the young soldier walked into the hospital. A nurse took him to the bedsides of the old man. “Your son is here,” she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the old man’s eyes opened. He dimly(模糊地) saw the young man and got great comfort. He reached out his hand. The soldier held the old man’s hand and offered words of hope. All through the night the young soldier sat beside the bed. The nurse offered to watch instead of him for a while, he refused.

At dawn, the old man died. The nurse started to comfort him but the soldier asked her, “Who was that old man?” “He was your father,” she answered. “No, he wasn’t. I never saw him before. I knew right away there was a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here. I realized I was needed. So I stayed.”

59.What is true about the old man?

A. He knew quite well what had happened to him

B. He was seriously injured and would die soon

C. He once and again wanted to call his son.

D. He was knocked dead near a hospital.

60.When the old man and the young man met, .

A. The old man wished the young man good luck in the future.

B. The doctors and nurses felt it hopeful to save the old man.

C. The young man said something to comfort the old man.

D. They both recognized each other at once.

61.We know from this passage .

A. the Red Cross is something for people to find persons.

B. the young man knew he was wrongly called when he got on the plane.

C. the hospital had meant to save the old man with the young man’s coming but failed.

D. The young man might have the same name as the old man’s son.

D

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communications is important.

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness (准时) is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.62. “The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m.”Here “attached” means _____.

A. taken B. drawn C. given D. shown

63. According to this passage, time plays an important role in _____.

A. everyday life B. school life C. social life D. private life

64. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The important role of time in social life B. Time is treasure

C. The Importance of an Announcement D. Time and Tide Wait for No Man

65. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements?

A. It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in the U.S.A.

B. It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries.

C. It is best for one to make telephone calls at midnight because it costs much less.

D. If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.
