43.C。语法知识。根据句中的时间状语over the past few years，表示从过去到现在一直持续的动作，应使用完成时态。be said to表示“据说”的意思。故答案为C。

44.C。惯用搭配。make an attempt to do sth意为“试图或努力做某事”，符合题意。action不与make连用，而与take连用，take action意为“采取行动”。trial意为“试用；试验；审讯”。progress可与make连用，但make progress“取得进步”后不接不定式。故答案为C。

45.D。形容词词义辨析。barely表示“几乎不”的意思，表否定意义，根据上下文可以判断18岁女孩说话的声音几乎听不见，audible“可听见的”，符合本题题意。故答案为D。

46.D。名词词义辨析。access表示“获得或使用的机会；进入或接近的机会或权利”，后一般与介词to搭配，表示抽象意义。entrance表示“进入某个地方、建筑等的入口”，后也与to搭配，但表示具体意义。句意应表示“本科生不可以使用校图书馆里的珍藏书籍”，句中表达的是抽象意义。故答案为D。

47.A。固定搭配。in unity意为“统一，团结”，从句中的go on working together可以看出这里是指大家联合起来的意思，故A为答案。

Part Ⅲ Cloze

51.A。逻辑衔接。根据前一句make up a growing percentage与后一句reached suchproportions that确定后者是对前者的例证强调。A选项Indeed表示强调。故答案为A。

52.B。语义衔接。空格处应为动词，在定语从句中充当谓语。stand“忍受”作为及物动词在句子中要直接接宾语，但是句子中没有宾语，因此该词不符合句子结构；cope“（成功地）对付，应对”，做不及物动词，可以在句子中表达完整的含义；approve“赞成，批准”；retain“保留”与句意不符。故答案为B。

53.D。介词搭配。空格处单词应为介词，与动词help搭配使用。原文意为：帮助无家可归者实现独立。D选项toward意为“达成，意在达到，以……为目标”。C选项with可与help构成搭配to help sb with sth“帮助某人做某事”，与题意不符。故答案为D。

54.A。上下文语义理解。句子中the minimum wage与前面的短语support job training program（提供就业培训项目）和后面的短语fund more low cost housing（资助建设更多低价住房）是并列关系。由此可推知，空格处应填入表示“提高”之意的单词。raise“增加，提高”，符合句子含义。故答案为A。

55.D。副词词义辨析。结合选项和语境，空格处应填入副词。由下文中提及的“数字从六十万到六百万不等”可以推测本题意思应该为“关于美国无家可归者的数量，众说不一”。结合句子，空格处应选择表示否定意义的单词。C、D项同样表示否定含义，但hardly一般与anyone，anything搭配；not与all，every搭配表示部分否定。故答案为D。

56.C。惯用搭配。分析句子结构可知，空格处应填入动词，与“from 600，000 to 3million”构成搭配，根据上下文，应表示“在……范围波动”之意。range from表示“从……到……的范围；从……到……的波动”。故答案为C。

57.B。逻辑衔接。根据本题所在的语境，前文中的may vary与后文中的do agree互为反义，确定二者为让步转折关系。故答案为B，句子译为“虽然（人们估计的）数字不同，分析家们对另一个问题的意见还是完全一致的”。

58.C。上下文语义理解。inflating“膨胀”；expanding“发展，扩张”尤指面积或体积变大，扩张；increasing“增加”；extending“延伸”，常指在长度上的延伸。文章首句便提到“无家可归者在美国人口中所占的比例越来越大（growing percentage）”，本空格要与growing构成呼应，应该填入increasing。故答案为C。

59.A。上下文语义理解。由后文中提及的“近十年会达到1900万”可知语境表示的是未来的状况，由此可知空格处应填入“预测”之意的单词。A选项predicts表示“预知，预测”的意思。故答案为A。

60.A。上下文语义理解。本文前两段提出无家可归者的问题并略加分析，本段开始解决方法的探讨。句子提供信息确定选择“帮助”之意。assist“帮助”，符合句子含义。故答案为A。

61.C。逻辑衔接。由后句中的still和句中“give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night”和“spend the bulk of each day the street”的对立关系，可知前后两句是让步关系。even即使，表示让步关系，与本句逻辑关系相符。故答案为C。

62.B。名词词义辨析。由从句中的three meals a day and a place to sleep at night“一日三餐和夜里睡觉的地方”推知应选择“庇护所，避难所”。shelter“庇护所，避难所”，尤指无家可归者的临时收容所，符合语境。lodging“借宿地，寄宿处”；dwelling“住处”；house“房屋”。故答案为B。

63.D。上下文语义理解。空格处单词与street搭配使用，结合前文内容可推知此处的语义“流浪街头”。strolling“漫步，闲逛”；wandering“游荡，徘徊，流浪”。wandering符合句子含义。故答案为D。

64.C。逻辑衔接。本题选择连词，体现句子之间的逻辑关系。句子中“既不吸毒也不饮酒”与“缺乏生存技能”构成转折关系。因此，空格处的词应该表示让步，而while和whereas都能表示让步，但whereas不能用于省略句，而while常用于省略句。故答案为C。

65.C。名词词义辨析。空格处单词与skill连用，将选项一一代入原文，survival“生存，存活”，survival skills表示“生存技能”符合语境。maintenance skills意思是“维修技术，保养技术”不符合语境。故答案为C。

66.A。固定搭配。本题选择与turn构成的短语。语境为：to turn their lives“使生活变……”，这里表达出“出现转机”之意。turn around“（使）逆转，（使）出现转机”；turn over“仔细考虑，移交”；turn on“打开开关”；turn up“调大，开大；出现”。故答案为A。

67.B。形容词词义辨析。complex“复杂的”；comprehensive“综合的，全面的”；complementary“补充的，互补的”；compensating“补偿的”。由于要满足无家可归者的许多要求（many needs of the homeless），所以这份计划应该是考虑周全、无所不包的。comprehensive符合句子含义。故答案为B。

68.C。逻辑衔接。director of community service at Bentley College in Massachusetts是Edward Zlotkowski这个人物的同位语成分，句子结构为：as sb puts it“正如某人说的那样……”，put此处意为“表达”。故答案为C。

69.A。惯用衔接。句子结构为：as sb puts it“正如某人说的那样……”，put此处意为“表达”。故答案为A。

70.D。上下文语义理解。综合前文中的comprehensive programs that address the many needs of the homeless（……的综合性计划）和后文中的a package deal（一揽子交易），所以需要对它们进行协调，即coordination“协调”。故答案为D。

Part Ⅳ The Use of English

71.are→is。句子的主语English corner为单数，主谓应一致。

72.speaking→spoken。“英语口语”的正确表达是spoken English。

73.talk→talking。句子的谓语动词为gather，动词talk在同一个句子中只能处理成分词形式，分句主语与主句主语一致，故用现在分词做伴随状语。

74.they→them。人称代词做介词among的宾语，因此要用宾格。

75.on→去掉on。在every Sunday/week/day之类的时间状语前，不用介词。

76.chat→chatted。chatted与went并列，因此使用过去式。

77.had→have。in the past/last few years常与现在完成时连用，表示从过去一直持续到现在的动作。

78.progresses→progress。progress是不可数名词，没有复数形式。

79.ʌgood→a。后面的place是单数可数名词，且第一次提及，要加不定冠词。

80.join in→join。join in指参加某项活动（即以表示活动的名词用其宾语）；表示加入到某个组织并成为其中的一员，或与某人一起，要用join。

The first copyright law in the United States was passed by Congress in 1790.In 1976Congress enacted the latest copyright law， 31 the technological developments that had occurred since the passage of the Copyright Act of 1909.For example，in 1909，anyone who wanted to make a single copy of a 32 work for personal use had to do so by hand.The very process 33 a limitation on the quantity of materials copied.Today，a photocopier can do the work in seconds；the limitation has disappeared.The 1909 Law did not provide full protection for films and sound recordings，nor did it 34 the need to protect radio and television.As a result， 35 of the law and abuses of the intent of the law have lessened the 36 rewards of authors，artists，and producers.The 1976Copyright Act has not prevented these abuses fully，but it has clarified the legal rights of the injured parties and given them an 37 for remedy.

Since 1976 the Act has been 38 to include computer software and guidelines have been adopted for fair use of television broadcasts.These changes have cleared up much of the confusion and conflict that followed 39 the 1976 legislation.

It’s difficult to estimate the number of youngsters involved in home schooling，where children are not sent to school and receive their formal education from one or both parents. 31 and court decisions have made it legally possible in most states for parents to educate their children at home，and each year more people take advantage of that opportunity.Some states require parents or a home tutor to meet teacher certification standards，and many require parents to complete legal forms to verify that their children are receiving 32 in state-approved curricula.

Home education claim that it’s less expensive and far more 33 than mass public education.Moreover，they cite several advantages alleviation of school overcrowding，strengthened family relationships，lower 34 rates，the fact that students are allowed to learn at their own rate，increased 35 ，higher standardized test scores，and reduced

The second step is to acknowledge that the best way of recycling waste may well be to sell them，often to emerging markets.What’s more，those who are prepared to buy waste are likely to make good use of it.78.____

The last step is to make people pay their non-recyclable waste and reward them for what they recycle.There are limits to this approach：you do not want people to put non-recyclable rubbish into the recycling bin just to earn credits.But a system that relies less on self-interest than on virtue should both increase recycling and decrease neighborly ill will.79.____80.____

42.A。固定搭配。go wild表示“欣喜若狂”的意思。句意为：歌手一踏上舞台，观众们欣喜若狂。故答案为A。

43.C。副词词义辨析。根据上下文判断语境应为图书馆因为维修暂时关闭。选项中表示“暂时地”副词只有temporarily。故答案为C。

44.A。形容词词义辨析。elaborate“精心制作的，详尽的”；refined“精确的，精炼的”；ambitious“野心勃勃的”；complex“复杂的”。空格处单词应与前句中修饰该词的carefully prepared（精心准备的）和full of details（具体的）并列，表达相同的意思。结合选项可知elaborate符合句意。故答案为A。

45.C。名词词义辨析。blockade的意思是“封锁”，常用于短语lift a blockade on（解除对……的封锁）和impose a blockade on（对……实行封锁）。句意为：他们解除了对这个国家为期两年的经济封锁。故答案为C。

46.B。形容词词义辨析。gullible“易受骗的，轻信的”；shrewd“精明的，敏锐的，奸诈的，狡猾的”；enthusiastic“热心的，热情的”。由后句中的fall for such an old trick

（陷入老套的骗局中）可知，空格处单词应表示“易骗的”的意思。故答案为B。47.A。动词词组辨析。hang about“徘徊，闲逛”；hang on“坚持下去”；hang over“笼罩，威胁”；hang out“闲逛，出去消遣”。hang out更侧重于跟朋友出去玩；hang about则相对更强调“闲逛，徘徊”的意思。本句中的语境更强调“闲逛”的意思。故答案为A。

Part Ⅲ Cloze

54.D。动词词组辨析。agree with sb of/about sth，表示同意“某人”的意见、想法、解释等，对象是人或人的观点；agree upon sth，表示在某事件上取得“一致意见”，对象是物，初步意见一致；agree in doing sth，同意做某事。agree与of搭配没有意义。句中语境为：人们就某些符号达成共识，故agree upon符合语境。故答案为D。

62.C。上下文语义。将选项一一代入句中，对比句意，选项C：read and learn更符合句意。表示“我们读的越多，学的越多”。故答案为C。

70.C。动词搭配。make sth adj.表示“使某物变得……”，为固定搭配。故答案为C。

Part Ⅳ The Use of English

71.Compare→Comparing。句子的谓语结构为is difficult。compare在从句中不能以谓语动词形式出现，故使用现在分词形式做状语。

72.And→But。前文提及考虑到所有的花费，垃圾的回收利用还是很困难的。本句提及回收利用还是有意义的，因此前后两句的关系应为转折。故使用but。

73.more→most。本句对比的是三种垃圾处理的办法，buying，burning，recycling。故使用最高级most。

74.at→from。at the beginning（of）“在……开始时”，后面必须接of，表示一个时间点；from the beginning“从一开始就……”，强调持续。句中强调回收铝的过程是个持续的过程。故使用from the beginning。

75.^recycle→to。固定搭配。get sb to do sth表示“让某人做某事”的意思。

76.use→using。从句中的谓语结构为is sorted on，use不能做谓语动词使用，应使用分词形式，先行词belt与use的主语一致，故使用现在分词using。

77.even→去掉even。even if表示让步的逻辑关系，意为“尽管，虽然”。而句中的主从句并不是让步的关系，而是假设的关系。故使用if。句意为：如果人们不需要将垃圾分类扔进垃圾桶的话，他们更倾向于回收利用垃圾。

78.them→it。waste表示“浪费，废料，垃圾”等意思时是不可数名词，故将them改为it。

79.pay^→for。pay用作及物动词时，后面接表示人的词语，即pay sb意为“付款给某人”。pay for中的pay为不及物动词，其宾语多为物，即pay for sth，意为“付款买某物”；其宾语为人时，即pay for sb，意为“替某人付款。”句中的语境是：让人们为不可回收的垃圾付款买单，而回收利用垃圾则给予奖励。故使用pay for。

80.less→more。前文提及，根据能否回收利用垃圾而奖罚人们也有其弊端，比如说人们可能为了赢得奖励而将不可回收的垃圾扔到可回收利用的垃圾桶里。根据上文和but一词，判断该句的语境应为一个相对于美德来约束人们的体系，不如一个更依赖个人利益的体系更能提高废物利用和减少邻里间的恶意行为。故应将less改为more。

W:I’ve been reading about a new healthy snack food.It’s made from fish.Have you heard anything about it?

M:No，I haven’t.But I don’t like fish very much anyway.

W:Not to worry.Although it’s made primarily from fish，it actually doesn’t have a fishy taste.In fact it can be flavored with tomato，cheese or chocolate for instance.

M:Do you know how this snack food is made How could it not taste fishy?

W:First，the fish is minced and cooked，then water and starch are added to make a dough.

M:It sounds awful.

W:Actually the dough is very bland at that point.So the flavorings are added to give it more taste.

M:Well，it still sounds a little strange.But I suppose this product will at least be low calories and high protein，like a healthy food.

W:Yes，you could call it that.And it has long shelf life，so it won’t spoil quickly.It is also easy to digest and can be made from types of fish that usually aren’t eaten or from high grade fish byproducts.

M:Mh...Have you got any samples I might be willing to try the cheese-flavored variety.

W:No.None of these seems to be available yet.As I understand it，this fish snack food probably won’t be in the stores for another couple of years.So you have a while to get used to the whole idea.

M:A couple of years，ha It may just take me that long，but thanks for telling me about it.

Q17.What seems to surprise the man about the new product?

Q18.Why are flavorings added to the dough

Q19.What would be a good reason for buying the product?

Q20.When will the new product be available

Section 3

Passage 1

Body language，with the technical name non-verbal communication，does not involve the use of words，NVC for short.When someone is saying something with which he agrees，the average European will smile and nod approval.On the other hand，if you disagree，you may frown and shake your head.Incidentally，I referred a moment ago to“the average European”，because body language is very much tied to culture，and in order not to misunderstand，or not to be misunderstood，you must appreciate this.A smiling Chinese，for instance，may not be approving but acutely embarrassed.Quite a lot of work is now being done on the subject of NVC，which is obviously important，for instance，to managers，who have to deal every day with their staff，and have to understand what other people are feeling if they are to create good working conditions.Body language，or NVC signals，is sometimes categorized into five kinds 1）body and facial gestures；2）eye contact；3）body contact or proximity；4）clothing and physical appearance；and 5）the quality of speech.In some cultures—and I am sure this is a cultural feature and not an individual one—it is quite normal for people to stand close together，or to more or less thrust their face into yours when they are talking to you.In other cultures this is disliked；Americans，for instance，talk about invasion of their space.

Passage 2

In ancient times，many people believed the earth was a flat disc.Well over 2000years ago，the ancient Greek philosophers were able to put forward two good arguments proving that it was not.Direct observations of heavenly bodies were the basis of both these arguments.First，the Greeks knew that during eclipses of the moon，the earth was between the sun and the moon，and they saw that during these eclipses，the earth’s shadow on the moon was always round，they realized that this could be true only if the earth was spherical.If the earth were a flat disc，then its shadow during eclipses would not be a perfect circle，it would be stretched out into a long ellipse.The second argument was based on what the Greeks saw during their travels.They noticed that the North Star，or Polaris，appeared lower in the sky when they traveled south；in more northern regions，the North Star appeared to them to be much higher in the sky.By the way，it was also from this difference in the apparent position of the North Star that the Greeks first calculated the approximate distance around the circumference of the earth，a figure recorded in ancient documents says 400，000 stadia，that’s the plural of the word stadium.Today，it’s not known exactly what length one stadium represents，but let’s say it was about 200 meters.It’s a very good estimate for those writing so long before even the first telescope was invented.

Passage 3

Today，we are going to continue our discussion of social insects，focusing on the Argentine ant，which as you might guess is a species of ant that is natives to Argentina.We’ll consider what happened to this type of ant after some members of the species move to California from their original habitat.OK，well，in Argentina，these Argentine ants behave like most ant species around the world.They fight other ants of the same species if those ants are from some other nests.But the Argentine ants living in California behave differently.Ants from different nests form a single large colony.Within this colony，there is little aggression among ants from different nests.And when they fight insects from outside their colony，the Argentine ants can quickly recruit a huge army from their network of nests.This of course gives them advantages over other ant species.So then，why do Argentine ants behave differently in California than they do in Argentina Well，using genetic testing，researches found that all the Argentine ants in California were very similar genetically.You see，when the first Argentine ants came to California，their population must have been very small，and all the later generations of the Argentine ants there must be descended from the same few ancestors.So they are all closely related.This discovery is important，because for most social insects，membership in a colony is based on how closely related they are genetically.

Q27.What aspect of Argentine ants is mainly discussed?

Q28.What does the professor say about the Argentine ants that live in Argentina?

Q29.What’s the characteristic of the Argentine ants in California?

Q30.What did genetic testing indicate about the Argentine ants in California?

Section 4

In police work，you can never predict the next crime or problem.No working day is identical to any other，so there is no“typical”day for a police officer.Some days arerelatively slow，and the job is boring；other days are so busy that there is no time to eat.I think I can describe police work in one word Variety.Sometimes it’s dangerous.One day，for example，I was working undercover；that is，I was on the job，but I was wearing normal clothes，not my police uniform.I was trying to catch some robbers who were stealing money from people as they walked down the street.Suddenly，seven bad men jumped out at me；one of them had a knife and we got into a fight.Another policeman arrived，and together，we arrested three of the men；but the other four ran away.Another day，I helped a woman who was going to have a baby.She was trying to get to the hospital，but there was a bad traffic jam.I put her in my police car to get her there faster.I thought she was going to have the baby right there in my car.But fortunately，the baby waited to“arrive”until we got to the hospital.

Section 3

Passage 1

The standardized educational or psychological tests are widely used to aid in selecting，classifying，assigning，or promoting students，employees，and military personnel.They have been the target of recent attacks in books，magazines，the daily press，and even in Congress.The target is wrong，for in attacking the tests，critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users.The tests themselves are merely tools，with characteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified conditions.Whether the results will be valuable，meaningless，or even misleading depends partly upon the tool itself but largely upon the user.All informed predictions of future performance are based upon some knowledge of relevant past performance.How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount，reliability，and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted.Anyone who keeps careful scores knows that the information available is always incomplete and that the predictions are always subject to error.Standardized tests should be considered in this context.They prove to be a quick，objective method of getting some kinds of information about what a person has learned，the skills he has developed，or the kind of person he is.

Passage 2

The problem of an aging population is far from being restricted to Europe.The Japanese，who have the longest life expectancy in the world at 77 years，have similar worries.Their birth rate is down to 1.7 and falling fast.A study produced by the Population Research Institute at Nihon University says that the country’s aging population will cause an eightfold increase in the cost of health care between 1978 and 2010 and athirteen fold rise in the pension benefits by 2025.China is still working to bring down its birth rate，but in the next century，it too will be facing the problems of aging.The country has a fifth of the world’s population.Its drive to restrict each family，first to two children and now to one child，has been the dominant cause of the slowdown in growth in the world’s population in the past decade.A range of financial incentives and penalties，coupled with China’s strong social organization，has already cut the annual growth in numbers of people from2.2percent to1.2percent，an effort which has been applauded by the United Nations.However，the sharp drop in birth will cause a surge in the percentage of people over6in a country still not fully equipped to cope with them.The old made up just4percent of China’s population a decade ago.By 2025，they could account for16 percent.By the middle of the next century，China could have more than 150 million people over the age of 75.

Passage 3

Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do—especially in a tight job market.Bob Crossley，a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day.He will eliminate the candidates who don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly.He believes that if they don’t take care in these details，he can’t trust them with a job，either.Can we pay too much attention to details Absolutely.Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward.Charles Garfield，associate professor at the University of California，San Francisco，says that to keep from losing the forest for the trees，we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture.If they don’t，we should drop them and move on to something else.Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA.“The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time，but a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal.This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.”Success is rarely mysterious.We see that by doing little things within our grasp，well，large rewards follow.

Gabriela Mistral was once an ordinary teacher in a small village school in NorthernChile.Towering mountains separated her village from the world outside.Gabriela Mistral was only fifteen when she began teaching，but she was a good teacher.She helped the minds of her students’scale the mountain walls and reached out to the world beyond.For eighteen years，Gabriela devoted her life to the poor farm children of Chile’s Northern valleys.During part of this time，she was director of schools in all of Chile.Before long，many countries recognized her as a great friend of children and the leader in education.In 1922，she was invited to Mexico to help organize the world’s school system.

Two years later，Gabriela Mistral came to the United States where she served as a visiting professor in several colleges.In New York City，a group of teachers helped to finance the publication of her first book of poetry.Some of her books have been translated into six different languages.She gave the income from some of her books to help poor and neglected children.

Beginning in the 1920s，her interests reached out to broader fields.Statesmen asked her advice on international problems.She tried to break through the national barriers that hindered the exchange of ideas among the Spanish speaking peoples of South America.She tried to develop a better understanding between the United States and countries of Latin America.In 1945，she gained worldwide recognition by winning the Nobel Prize in literature，the first South American to win the prize.

M:Jane，I...

W:The transport is better...

M:Jane，I...

W:...and there are lots of good restaurants.

M:Jane，I think we should move to the country.

W:Oh！

M:For...against.For cheaper rent，cheaper houses，cleaner air.It’s quieter.There’s not so much noise.And parking’s easier.Do you agree that these are all goodreasons for moving？

W:Yes，I agree.But let’s talk about the things against moving.Number one.A long way from some clients.

M:Yes，but that’s not a problem.

W:What about communications？

M:There’s an airport near the new location as well as a motorway.And there are fast trains to everywhere from there.

W:So communications are better than they are from here？

M:I think so.

W:But what do we do with our spare time？I know we can go for walks in the country.Perhaps，go horse-riding.But we can only do that in summer.What do we do in winter when it’s cold and wet？It’s not like here in the city，is it？

M:I agree.But in the town over there—twenty minutes by car—there are cinemas，theatres，good restaurants and there’s a jazz club.So，I think our company should move to the country.Do you agree？

M:So，Miss Parkinson，you organize fitness training and beauty treatments for working women？

W:That’s right，Mr.Cruise.

M:Could you tell me how you first got the idea for the business？

W:Certainly.I suppose it all started about 5 years ago.I was on holiday and had a very bad skiing accident.I found that the only thing that helped the pain was massage and gentle exercise，like yoga or stretching exercises.So I used to go to therapists and classes after work.

M:Where did you work at that time？

W:In the training department of a media company.

M:I see.

W:But then I got a promotion to training manager.That meant I worked longer hours and was difficult to get to classes.I asked some of my teachers if they would come to my house instead，and most of them agreed.It was more expensive but I thought it was worth it.Lots of my friends loved the idea too.So I recommended people to them.That’s when I began to realize that maybe I could make a business out of it.

M:Did you give up your job then？

W:No，not immediately.The idea was too scary.I had a good job with a good salary，and starting my own business seemed a bit risky.So I just did it at a hobby really.

M:So why did you leave your job in the end？

W:Well，the decision was made for me really.My company decided to relocate to a different:town.They offered me the choice of relocating with them or quite a largesum of money if I preferred to leave.I know an opportunity when I see it.So I took the money！

M:Good for you.

W:Good afternoon.I’d like to buy a camera.

M:We have all kinds of cameras here，madam.What sorts of camera are you thinking you are buying？

W:Well，I don’t know anything about cameras.But my friend tells me that 35-millimeter cameras are the best.

M:Well，they are certainly the much popular.Would you like a rangefinder type or a single-lens reflex？

W:What’s the difference？

M:With a single-lens reflex，you actually look through the lens when you’re taking a photo.So you can see exactly what you are taking.

W:That seems a good idea.

M:Yes，focusing is easier，too.Try this one.It’s a good mate.

W:Yes，I see what you mean.The image is very clear and bright.

M:That’s right.Moreover，you can use a number of different lenses.Let me put a telephoto lens on for you to try.

W:My world！That’s very good.I can see the people across the street as if they are inside the shop！

M:Being able to change the lens is very important，in my opinion.You can’t do that with most rangefinder cameras though they’re smaller and cheaper.

W:How much is this camera？

M:The list price is 5，000.But I can let you have it for 4，500.

W:That’s far too much！Did you say that rangefinder cameras are cheaper？

M:Yes，they are much cheaper.

W:Good！Show me some，please.

Passage 1

This is a picture.In the foreground there’s a house built into the side of a bare hill.The house is actually cut out of the rock，and the front is painted white.There’s a single window with a pink curtain across it and a wooden door.This rock house is clearly inhabited because in front of the house there is washing hanging on a washing line in what looks like the front yard.Then，above the painted front of the house，they’ve built a chimney.It’s quite possible that at the back of this same hill there’s another door—or the front of another house，perhaps.At the side of the house，to the left there’s a flat area.They’ve got chairs there and one person appears to be serving food.They’re wearingcasual summer clothes.Further to the left is another chimney，which probably belongs to a different house.In the background of the picture，a long way from this particular bare hill，there’s another hill.Then，in between there’s a relatively flat plain，and then there’s a small town.It looks like a town because there are a lot of white houses and each one is quite close to the next building.This must be a hot country because the sky is blue and there isn’t much vegetation.I should think that rock houses are actually really cool and pleasant to live in.

Passage 2

Ben became interested in Mongolia early in life.When he was nine years old he read a book about Marco Polo，about how Marco Polo traveled with his uncles on the ultimate business trip to the Mongol Empire at its height.Marco Polo’s trip lasted almost a quarter of a century，during which he grew up，mastered Mongolian，gained the confidence of the Mongol emperor，and then eventually returned home with fantastic tales of strange lands and stranger people.The story of Marco Polo fascinated Ben.Ben tried to save money from his first job delivering newspapers with an eye toward a$3，000 trip to Mongolia.But in those days it would take him years to have the money ready.So he continued to read about Mongolia in the meantime but spent most of his teenage years in the Arab world，where he learned the language and became interested in journalism.He took courses in classical and modern Mongolian while studying for his master’s degree and found it very difficult.But he still wants to visit Mongolia in the spring or summer，he said.“Mongolian winters，when temperatures drop to-30°C are not for me.”The price today with an upscale company is reasonable，Ben said，“Compared to the$3，000 it was back in 1971，today the same trip is around$5，000，which though still a large sum，is，in terms of inflation，a good bargain.”

Passage 3

Less than 20 miles from Singapore’s skyscrapers is a completely different set of high-rise towers.Much smaller in scale but with a big ambition，over 100 nine-meter tall towers at Sky Greens vertical farm offer a new vision of urban sustainability.Green vegetables like Chinese cabbage are grown，stacked in greenhouses，and sold at local supermarkets.The farm was built in 2009 and since October this year the fully operating farm has been supplying one of city’s supermarkets with weekly deliveries of its greens.The Sky Greens produce costs around 40%more than an imported equivalent.However，the small amount of energy and water needed to grow the vegetables，and the close proximity to the consumer，means that carbon dioxide emitted in production and transportation is kept to a minimum.The Sky Greens venture is supported by the Singaporean government and has another advantage over other urban farms around the world abundant natural heating and light.Singapore has year-round temperatures of around 30 degrees Celsius and the farm is set in an open area designated by the government as an agro-technology park，miles away from the shadow of city skyscrapers.And there are plans for the current site to expand to produce up to two tons of greens a week next year and build over 2，000 towers in the next few years.

Section 4

The first copy right law in the United States was passed by Congress in 1790.In1976，Congress enacted the latest copy right law，taking into consideration the technological developments that had occurred since the passage of the Copyright Act of1909.For example，in 1909 anyone who wanted to make a single copy of a literary work for personal use had to do so by hand.The very process imposed a limitation on the quantity of materials copied.Today，a photo copier can do the work in seconds.The limitation has disappeared.The 1909 Law did not provide full protection for films and sound recordings nor did it anticipate the need to protect radio and television.As a result，violations of the law and abuses of the intent of the law have lessened the financial rewards of authors，artists and producers.The 1976 Copyright Act has not prevented these abuses fully，but it has clarified the legal rights of the injured parties and given them an avenue for remedy.Since 1976 the Act has been amended to include computer software and guidelines have been adopted for fair use of television broadcasts.These changes have cleared up much of the confusion and conflict that followed in the wake of 1976 legislation.The fine points of the law are decided by the courts and by acceptable common practice over time.As these decisions and agreements are made，we modify our behavior accordingly.For now，we need to interpret the law and its guidelines as accurately as we can and to act in a fair manner.

M:Ruth，do you know something about the Ethical Consumer Research Association？

W:Yes，so far as I know，it’s an organization that provides information for shoppers.

M:Oh，what kind of information？

W:Well，like letting shoppers know what the companies are doing behind the products that they see on the store shelves.And...and these shoppers are concerned with some ethical issues.

M:For example？

W:Well，they may want to know that the product they’re buying hasn’t been made at the expense of the people who are producing it，whether it’s in this country or abroad.They might also be concerned with other kinds of issues for example，whether thecompany is involved in selling arms.

M:But how can one become an ethical shopper when buying things？

W:One way of thinking about ethical shopping is thinking about buying less.

M:Oh，how？

W:Well，you see，sometimes we buy a lot more than we need.We buy more items of clothing than we need.So being an ethical shopper really means thinking a bit before you go and spend your money in the shops.

M:Could you give me some advice？

W:You see，some things may cost a bit more in the short-run，but be worth it in the long-run.So，if you are paying for quality，something will last you longer and then save you money.

M：Mmm...

W And sometimes you can buy things second-hand，and the quality in most second-hand shops is really very good these days.So it’s about thinking before you shop.

M:Ruth，thanks for your advice.

W:Pleasure.

W:I am doing management studies with English and German.

M:Uh-huh.How’s it all going？

W:Well，it’s not going too well.I’m not really enjoying the course.And...well，I am not very happy.

M:All right，let’s take things slowly.Tell me something about the course.

W:Well，there is just so much work.I thought that to do two languages with management studies would be very useful，but I find the management course very difficult sometimes.And then to study English and German too，it means I am working all the time and I never have time to relax.

M:What about your accommodation？Are you happy with that？

W:Not really.I mean the other students on my course are living in the student dormitory.So they see each other all the time.I am living in the rented room in a family house.I eat breakfast and dinner with the family.But I get lonely in the evenings and at weekends.

M:So，making friends is a problem too.

W:Yes.

M:OK.I am going to make two suggestions.

W:All right.

M:First，which of the two languages do you enjoy most？

W:English.I find it easier too.

M:So I’d like you to go and see your German tutor and say that you are going to stop attending German classes for the moment.

W:OK.

M:Next，I think you should go to each of the five student dormitories，choose the one you like best and ask if you could move in there.Students are always moving in and out so that shouldn’t be a problem.

W:Thanks a lot for your advice.

M:Not at all.

W:Hello，Bob.

M:You know today is a very special day.That’s the 20th anniversary of the World Wide Web.

W:Ah，the World Wide Web.It’s really changed our lives.And...and in such a short space of time.

M:Hmm...definitely.Now，do you know，on average，how long does someone spend surfing the net each day？

W:Umm，honestly I don’t know.But I guess people must spend a lot of time on things like Facebook.

M:Hmm...that’s true.

W:And I’m sure almost everyone uses the Internet now—but I wonder how we’d cope without it？

M:Well，it might be a bit difficult without it.

W:I guess so.For instance，some people need it for social relationships.

M:Yes，especially those who are far away.Keeping in contact with friends and family would be impossible without the Internet.

W:But are there people who would cope without the Internet？

M:Yes，there are.These people have some alternatives.

W:What kind？

M:For example，we could write to each other like we used to before we had the Internet.It would be lovely to get more hand-written letters from friends and family rather than just e-mails，I think.

W:That’s what we call“snail-mail”.But of course，lots of more paper would mean that we’d need bigger file cabinets.

M:Yes，well，it’s still incredible how the World Wide Web has expanded in twenty years，and how much we now rely on it.I wonder what it will be like after another twenty years.

W:Well，for better or worse，the web will have a greater impact on our life and society.

Section 3

Passage 1

If you are a resident you will find it useful to open a bank account.All the large banks have a network of branches across the country and all offer similar services.

A visit to any one of them will be a friendly experience.However，to open an account，you have to be prepared to prove your identity in a number of ways.You will find your passport useful but the bank will also want to see some form of proof that you are living where you say you are.This can be proved by a housing rent book，a tax form，water or electricity bill for the property，as long as it’s in your name.In the bank，and elsewhere，you may hear the term“utility bill”—this simply refers to bills relating to the provision of services to your home such as electricity，gas，water and telephone.

There are other local facilities such as post offices where you can save your money and have access to affordable low cost loans.Where they exist in your local area，contact details can be obtained from the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.

Passage 2

Life is very stressful nowadays，so it is useful for us to talk about how to cope with stress.If you want to reduce some stress，you can reduce this by the word S-T-R-E-S-S；that’s stress.Let’s begin with the“S”.“S”is that you can have the“scheduling”，for example，you don’t have to schedule too many things in your day and if you feel you are too busy，you can cut out an activity or two.

And“T”is“treat your body well”，because experts say that exercise can reduce stress and also if you eat healthy food，then your brain and your body get the nourishment they need.

The next letter is“R”.“R”means“relax”.You can do an activity you enjoy or that relaxes you，maybe you can read a book or learn a new hobby and even spend time with your pet and that could make a difference.

And the next letter is“E”—“E”is about expectations.This means，be realistic about yourself and others.So you can just do your best and don’t try to be perfect and don’t expect others to be too.That will release and reduce a lot of stress for you and the people around you.

And the next letter is“S”.“S”stands for sleep.If you get a good night’s sleep，then it will keep your mind and your body in shape.And the last letter is“S”again，which means“smile”.If you smile and have confidence，you will think in a more positive way and then you will feel more comfortable when you are coping with the stress.

Passage 3

New words enter the English language all the time.In fact，English has always

been in a state of evolution and in recent years more and more words and phrases have

entered the language.But where do all these new words come from？Words come out of the culture that they represent and they describe so if you’ve got

a new development in medicine，for example bird flu，then you’ll get a new word comingout of that.If there’s a military conflict that may well bring all sorts of new words to the fore.Going back in time the First and Second World Wars were times of great creativity of language because people from different countries met each other and exchanged their words and words developed from there.So words come from the playground；they come from politics；they come from any area of life because every area of life is changing from day to day.

And does English have more words than any other language？

It certainly has more than other European languages and probably more than any other language in the world.English is put together from so many different bits.Originally it was a Germanic language and then after the Norman Conquest in 1066 there was an enormous influx of French words.And it comes from a country，the United Kingdom，which was quite an expansive，trading，colonial power in the past and all these have brought all sorts of other new words into the language.

Section 4

Tests may be the most unpopular part of academic life.Students hate them because they produce fear and anxiety about being evaluated，and focus on grades instead of learning for learning’s sake.

But tests are also valuable.A well-constructed test identifies what you know and what you still need to learn.Tests help you see how your performance compares to that of others.And knowing that you’ll be tested on a body of material is certainly likely to motivate you to learn the material more thoroughly.

However，there’s another reason you might dislike tests You may assume that tests have the power to define your worth as a person.If you do badly on a test，you may be tempted to believe that you’ve received some fundamental information about yourself from the professor，information that says you’re a failure in some significant way.

This is a dangerous—and wrong-headed—assumption.If you do badly on a test，it doesn’t mean you are a bad person or stupid.Or that you’ll never do better again，and that your life is ruined.If you don’t do well on a test，you’re the same person you were before you took the test—no better，no worse.You just did badly on a test.That’s it.

In short，tests are not a measure of your value as an individual—they are a measure only of how well and how much you studied.Tests are tools；they are indirect and imperfect measures of what we know.

W:Well，121 companies had stands last year and that figure should be up to 140 this time.

M:Sorry，how many？

W:140.

M:What about visiting numbers？

W:Over the two days，we had 16，500 visitors，so with more stands we’d hope for more people this time.

M:And where did they typically come from？

W:About 57%were from overseas America and Europe，Japan，Singapore and South Korea.The remained were local people.

M:That’s interesting.Now，a few practical questions.We’re thinking of taking a stand about 45 square meters.How much will that cost us？

W:$400 per square meter.

M:Sorry，can you give me the cost again？

Passage 1

Few people expect luxury while flying，but these days，even the basic seems to be in bad shape.It’s not uncommon to find your trade table broken，the in-flight entertainment system not working and your seat cushion worn.All of this can make youthink how old is this plane anyway.

The reality for many US air travelers is that most of their journeys take place on planes that have been in service for a decade or more.The average age of the fleet of the seven large USA passenger airlines is about 14 years old according to the airline monitor.It found American and Delta Northwest have the oldest fleets at about 16 years on average.

At the end of 2008，a small percentage of the merged Delta Northwest planes dated back to the late 1960s.“US fleets are among the oldest in the world，”said Richard Albelafia，an elevation analyst，“I’m not really sure that people should read that much into that.”Albelafia said，“For the safety’s standpoint，a lot of the old planes will be built tougher and with proper maintenance.There’s no reason why a plane can stay safe for 25 to 30 years.It’s also important to remember that the plane may be 20 years old，but its engines and other major systems could be recently manufactured and upgraded，”said Albelafia.“There’s less pressure on the airlines to upgrade the interior unless the safety issue or redesign that will save money.”

Passage 3

The police released the first video images yesterday of the two men believed to have been involved in robbing a jewelry shop in the city seven days ago.But the video pictures taken a week ago were not very clear.The camera which filmed the men was about 200 meters away from a parked lorry which the robbers later used as a get-away vehicle.The men were also filmed wearing hoods as they ran towards the lorry after therobbery.The pictures are timed at 9 05 a.m.last Saturday，just half an hour before the robbery occurred.Witnesses have confirmed that at some time during this half hour，they saw the two men without hoods leave the lorry separately.Despite the quality of the video，the police believe the robbers are distinct enough to be identified.The first suspect who got out of the driver side of the lorry was about 5 foot 6 inches tall and fat.He was wearing a grey jacket with a hood and dark trousers.The passenger was slimmer and slightly taller，about 5 foot 8 inches and was wearing light blue jeans and a white jacket with a hooded jogging top.According to the police，the lorry stored in the parking lot of the city mall last month had been repainted from white to silver and faded with false registration plates.

Section 4

It’s difficult to estimate the number of youngsters involved in home schooling where children are not sent to school and receive their formal education from one or both parents.Legislation and court decisions have made it legally possible in most states for parents to educate their children at home and each year more people take advantage of that opportunity.

Some states require parents or a home tutor to meet teacher certification standards，and many require parents to complete legal forms to verify that their children are receiving instruction in state-approved curricula.

Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient than mass public education.Moreover，they cite several advantages alleviation of school overcrowding，strengthened family relationships，lower dropout rates，the facts that students are allowed to learn at their own rate，increased motivation，higher standardized test scores，and reduced discipline problems.

Critics of the home schooling movement contend that it creates as many problems as it solves.They acknowledge that，in a few cases，home schooling offers educational opportunities superior to those found in most public schools，but few parents can provide such educational advantages.Some parents who withdraw their children from the schools in favor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and insufficient formal training to provide a satisfactory education for their children.Typically，parents have fewer technological resources at their disposal than do schools.However，the relatively inexpensive computer technology that is readily available today is causing some to challenge the notion that home schooling is in any way inferior to more highly structured classroom education.
