Part I. Writing Sample Writing:

On Lifelong Learning

With the rapid development of modern society, lifelong learning has been increasingly important. People need to improve themselves all the time by learning in order to adapt to the fast changes and fierce competition in the society. They have to learn about the latest development and techniques to equip themselves. We can achieve lifelong education in several ways. First, you can choose distant education. Most famous universities have set up their own distant education college to help people realize their dreams. Secondly, there are various kinds of training courses and night courses. People can take advantage of their spare time to learn what they are interested in, such as English, computer skills and drawing. In addition, people can study all by themselves. They can read books in a library or a bookstore in their free time. I prefer to distant education provided by some universities. As is known, colleges have excellent faculty, modern teaching facilities and strong learning atmosphere. By distant education courses, we can enjoy these resources, learning more knowledge and making bigger and quicker progress.

questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A ), B ), C) and D ). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One

One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was

presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal

framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was on an island at the entrance of New York Harbor. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall, had been erected in Paris.

The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the

American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbor to make their homes in America.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. Who presented the Statue of Liberty to the United States of America? 27. Which of the following about the Statue of Liberty is true? 28. When was the statue put together again in America?

Passage Two

One of the goals of American education officials is to have all public schools connected to the Internet computer system and have computers for all students. Government studies show that in 1994 only thirty-five percent of American public schools were connected to the Internet. Last year, that number reached eighty-nine percent.

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is a large university in the southern state of Virginia. Officials at Virginia Tech say computers are very important to a

student’s education. All students at Virginia Tech have been required to have a computer since 1998.

Each student’s living area at Virginia Tech has the necessary wires to link a computer to the Internet. The students can send and receive electronic mail, use the World

Wide Web part of the Internet and link with other universities, all without leaving their room. They can also use their computers to send electronic copies of their school work to their teachers. And they can search for books in the school’s huge library. 162 Model Test (1)

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. What are officials required to do in all public schools in America?

30. In 1994, how many American public schools were connected to the Internet computer system?

31. Where do students at Virginia Tech link their computers to the Internet?

Passage Three

I had spent my last day in London visiting friends, taking pictures, and doing some last-minute shopping. Among other things, I had bought some presents: a shirt for my brother, a woollen blanket for my sister, and a battery-powered alarm clock for my father. After travelling in a crowded bus and waiting in the noisy airport building, I was glad to be sitting in the plane at last. In a few minutes we would be asked to fasten our seat belts and to stop smoking, and then we would soon be up in the sky on our flight to Berlin.

But I had been mistaken. Ten minutes later, instead of enjoying the beauty of the evening sky from high above the clouds, I was sitting in a smoke-filled room with an airline official and a police officer at my side. On the table in front of me was one of my suitcases.

The officials were very polite. They asked me to show them my passport, my ticket, and my baggage check. Then I was requested to open the suitcase and to spread out its contents on the table.

I did as I was told. The moment I placed the alarm clock on the table, the two officials looked at each other and smiled.

Hearing the clock ticking away merrily, I suddenly understood. Someone must have heard the ticking noise coming from my suitcase and thought there was a time bomb hidden in it.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 32. How did the man spend his last day in London? 33. What present did he buy for his father?

34. Why did the man get off the plane ten minutes later? 35. Which of the following statements is true? Section C: Compound Dictation

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time,

you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have

just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in you own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you Band Three 163

should check what you have written.

Today, there are 20 megacities around the world—— (36) three-quarters of them in developing nations like India. By 2015, the United Nations says there will be at least 22 megacities, (37) representing five percent of the (38) global population.

Employment and educational opportunities are the main (39) attraction of urban

centers. But hopes for a better life are often dashed as (40) overpopulation puts a huge strain on cities’ infrastructures and their ability to provide basic (41) necessities—like clean water and a (42) decent place to live.

Many rural migrants who come to Bombay fail to find (43) adequate work, (44)

and therefore cannot afford decent housing. The World Bank says 54 percent of Bombay’s 15 million residents live in slums.

The problem of migration-creating-slums is shared by India’s other two megacities, Delhi and Calcutta, (45) as well as urban centers throughout the developing world. The problem is pressing, (46) with the United Nations predicting half of the world’s population is expected to be living in cities by next year. 164 Model Test (2)

Key to Model Test (2) Band Three Part I. Writing (30minutes) Sample Writing: Making Friends Online

With the development of high technology, computers are playing a more and

more important role in our daily life. A lot of people, esp. young people prefer to make friends online rather than go out to meet friends in person. In their opinion, they can save time and energy by talking with other people through computers. What’s more, making friends online is considered a fashion and young people always want to keep up with the fashion.

There is no doubt people can benefit a lot from making friends online. On the one

hand, it can save time and money for people and give them more free time which is very precious in this highly competitive society. On the other hand, people can make more friends than they used to do because it is very convenient to make friends this way. However, just as each coin has two sides, making friends online sometimes may

bring us problems. Since people don’t need to meet each other face to face, many give false information and cheat online, while, at the same time, they are being cheated, too. In addition, people spend all their free time sitting and chatting in front of their computers, which may cause health problems. Therefore, we must avoid the extremes and have a proper attitude towards making friends online.

48. K. applicants. 这里需要填个名词指文章中选的人，只有这个词后缀指人。 49. I. resigned. 这里需要个动词作who引导的定语从句的谓语动词，而且应该是过去时态。因为没有宾语，这个动词需是不及物动词，其中的refine,精炼，提纯（糖，油，矿石）；regain,恢复（视力，视觉，自由），host 主办或主持（活动），招待

57. B. 推断题。由文章第一段最后一句可知，由于我们每个人天生的能力和后天成长的环境不同，所以我们对成功的定义很泛，由此可以推断，作者认为能力和环境是获得成功的基本条件。

58. D. 语义题。结合文章第二段第二句中的poor shepherd(贫穷的牧羊人)和选项可以推断，D项economical (节约的)正确。

59. D. 细节题。文章第二段倒数第二句指出，有的人已经很富有了却认为自己不成功是因为他们是根据自己的目标判断成功与否的，所以D正确.

60. C. 推断题。文章最后一句指出，在没有尽全力做自己喜欢的事而失败之前，失败都不算真正的失败，由此推断，文章最后一段暗示，成功就是尽全力做自己喜欢的事情.

61. A. 主旨题。本文第一句是全文的主题句，即每个人对成功的定义都不同，在接下来的几段中作者从不同角度定义了成功，所以A正确。

62. A. 是非判断题。A、B、D原文中均提到。对照第一段。

Band Three 167

M: Lost her voice? That’s too bad. Is there anything I can do for her?

W: Well, she has a class this afternoon from two thirty to four, and she won’t be able to make it. But she doesn’t want to cancel it either.

M: Does she want me to try to find somebody else to teach it?

W: No, not exactly. What she wants to do is to get someone to go in for her, just to pass back the midterm exam. She’s already marked them, and they’re on the desk in her office. The whole thing won’t take more than„eh, ten minutes or so. M: Two thirty, you say? Well, I’m free then, and I am going to be on campus anyway, so I could do it for her. Where’s her class?

W: Building 11, Room 210. Will you need her office key to get the exams? I could

bring it to you.

M: Well, actually, that won’t be necessary. We have a master key in the English Department, so I can get into her office..

W: I think so. But she had been lying there helplessly for some time before the police arrived at the scene. The driver drove off and passers-by pretended not to see her. M: That’s incredible. How could they be so cold-hearted? W: Horrible, isn’t it? Some people are so mean.

M: Suppose you had been one of the passers-by, what would you have done? Band Three 171

W: I would have rushed her to a hospital and notified her family as soon as possible.

M: So would I. It’s only right to offer a helping hand to those in need. Don’t you think so?

25. What should we do suppose we had been on the spot according to the conversation? Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some

While traveling abroad, Mr. Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his

brother, asking for $ 500. “Send the money by telegram,” he wrote, “to the Fisher Bank in P„”.

After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport. “Nothing has come for you,” he was told. This went on for two weeks, and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother, asking where the money was. There was no reply, and no money arrived for him.

In the fourth week, Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill. His

passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for sixty days.

When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The clerk he spoke

to was a new man. “Have you received $500 for me? ” he asked. “My name is Jackson Frank.”

The clerk checked his books. “Yes, Mr. Jackson, it’s here. It came by telegram—let me see—oh, more than two months ago. We wondered where you were.” He showed Mr. Frank the order.

The order read: “ Pay Mr. Frank Jackson the sum of $500„.”

“But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson.”

“Oh, that’s all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter ‘J’, but it’s your money.” The clerk laughed. “ A human mistake, sir! We’re all human beings, aren’t we? And so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me.”

Mr. Frank was silent. He really wanted to hit somebody. At last he said, “A human mistake—is that what you call it? I think some humans need kicking.” 172 Model Test (2)

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. Why didn’t Jackson just go to his brother and get some money? 27. What did Jackson begin to do a week after he had written to his brother? 28. Why was Jackson arrested and sent to prison?

29. Why did the clerks put his name under the wrong letter?

Passage Two

Children are curious about the world around them. For example, they want to know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty. As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. Then they become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, and the sky. Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career in science.

Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world. Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e.g. physics and chemistry.

These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world. For example, they can tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition.

When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too. So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.

Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty?” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.

We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.

Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? 31. What do your muscles need when you run?

32. Why are people always curious?

Passage Three

What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? Band Three 173

A dentist may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first. In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy. The simplest thing to do is to put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk. Frank Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth. He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium. He also tried just drying the teeth in the open air. He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various reasons. The teeth were put into one of the solutions or stored in the air for one hour. Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped off the teeth. Dr. Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were.

The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside

the mouth. However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school. The next best thing was milk. But Dr. Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket in the mouth. For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting. So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth) to a dentist.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. What is the passage mainly about?

34. What is the best way to store a knocked-out tooth healthily outside the mouth?

35. What did Dr Courts test on?

Section C: Compound Dictation

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time,

you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in you own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

Immigration: New York

New Yorkers like to call their city “the capital of the world”. The results of a new (36) population survey show that even if the name is perhaps a little too (37) ambitious, the city (38) definitely may claim to be the world in (39) miniature. Two out of every five New Yorkers were born outside the United States. That (40) figure is based on the results of a citywide (41) survey of more than 15 thousand (42) households conducted by the United States Census Bureau. Andrew Beveridge, a sociologist who analyzed the data, says the foreign-born population in New York has increased (43)dramatically during the last 10 years.

In 1990, the census (44) estimates show about 28 percent immigrants in New

York City, and in the 1999 survey you get about 40 percent immigrants. If you look 174 Model Test (2)

at it with respect to households headed by immigrants, it is actually 44 percent. (45) New York’s immigrant population is highly diverse. For example, the city’s borough of Queens is considered the most diverse county in the United States. (46) People representing 167 nationalities live there, speaking 116 languages. However, Mr. Beveridge says, there are several groups that dominate immigration to the city such as Dominicans (387,000), Russians (229,000), Chinese (192,000) and Mexicans (133,000). Band Three 175

Sample Writing:

Diligence Is the Key to Success

All people dream of being successful in what they are doing. Some of them think

talent plays a critical role in people’s success while others argue they obtain their success because they have good luck. In fact there is more than one way to success. But we can see almost all successful people have one thing in common—they all have made great efforts to make their dreams come true.

There is an old saying that success belongs to those people who are well- prepared, which means if one wants to be successful, he must work hard. To put it in a different way, in spite of good luck, one cannot actually succeed if he doesn’t make efforts. An artistic talent will not turn into a great artist if he doesn’t practices every day. A scientific genius will not become a scientist if he doesn’t spend much time and energy observing and experimenting with things around him. All these have proved that diligence, instead of luck or talent, is the key to success.

As for me, I strongly contend that success depends on diligence. No pains, no

gains. If we want to succeed, the only way for us is to work hard. Remember, diligence is the key to success.

M: About how often do these headaches come? W: About once every two months, I think.

M: Do bright lights affect you or irritate you when these attacks come?

W: Yes, as a matter of fact, they do. I forgot about that. I really can’t stand bright lights at all when the headache is at its worst. M: Do you take anything, any pills? W: Yes, but they don’t help.

M: Mm. Your symptoms seem to point to migraine. As you probably know, there’s no direct or permanent cure for it but we can relieve the pain while you are having the attacks. For instance, I can arrange for you to have an injection when you get

the headaches. In the meantime I can give you some painkillers which should help. Anyway, see how you get on with these and if they don’t seem to help, come back and see me again. Band Three 181

According to a new report, even heavy smokers may be protected from developing lung cancer by a simple dietary measure: a daily portion of carrots, spinach or any other vegetable or fruit containing a form of vitamin A called carotene.

Since 1957, a team of American researchers has monitored the dietary habits and

medical histories of 2,000 middle-aged men. Other studies of animals and humans have suggested that vitamin A offers some protection against lung cancer. The correlation seemed logical, since Vitamin A is essential for the growth of the tissue that lines the airways of the lungs.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. How many Americans die of lung cancer each year? 27. What is carotene?

28. What can you infer from the passage?

Passage Two

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the ‘Step’ pyramid and the ‘Bent’ pyramid

Some of the pyramids still look much as they must have been done when they

were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 30. How old are the pyramids?

30. What is true about some of the pyramids? 31. Why do the pyramids remain well preserved? Passage Three

Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams. To begin with, I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic, wandering into another kind of existence. As a child I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday. This still puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people—or at least more Western Europeans—do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They

appear to see it as an irritating little habit, like sneezing or yawning. I have never understood this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life, if only because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. What is the speaker’s attitude to dreams?

33. What does the speaker feel when people say that they do not dream? 34. According to the speaker, what is most Western Europeans’ attitude to dreams?

35. How does the speaker compare his dream life and waking life? Section C: Compound Dictation

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time,

The most common form of (36) entertainment in the U.S. is television. Nearly everyone watches television at some (37) regular time in their daily lives, (38)

whether in the morning, at night or on (39) weekends. Most (40) families have color televisions and many have more than one set.

Since its (41) beginning, the television industry in the U.S. has been (42) controlled by three companies. Those companies have formed networks of television stations in cities across the country. The three national (43) networks are ABC, American Broadcasting Company, CBS, Columbia Broadcasting System and NBC, Band Three 183

National Broadcasting Company. (44) Each network has news features, .dramatic presentations, comedies and sports events. Each network competes for a larger percentage of the television audience by trying to present programs with wide popular

appeal. The programs are financed by advertising. Companies pay the television

networks to display their products on television. (45) The more popular a program, the higher the network can charge a company for commercials during the program. There is also a public television network. It has no commercials. Instead it receives financial support from the government, some private corporations and individual donations.

Recently, a new type of television network has been gaining popularity. These networks are called cable television. (46) Cable television companies sell television programming directly to the public. The viewer pays a monthly fee to the company. The company installs a special line to his television set to receive the programs which he has paid the company to watch. 184 Model Test (4)

How I Overcome My Difficulties in Learning English

With the rapid growth of globalization and the continuous deepening of international communication, together with China’s entry into WTO, English, as an international language, is becoming more and more important. People spend much time

on English study every day. It seems we cannot live better without a good command of English language.

However, English is not as easy to learn as people have expected. As a learner of

the English language, unexceptionally, I met with many difficulties. At the beginning, I

had big troubles in my pronunciation and intonation. Then, I had difficulties in understanding and mastering sentence structures because they are quite different from those

in Chinese. And it seemed I was forever struggling with the vocabulary, the grammar and the usage.

In order to learn English well, I tried every means to cope with these difficulties.

Following my teacher’s advice, I read after the tapes of authentic dialogues and speeches again and again for a better pronunciation. At the same time I did a lot of reading and writing and translation exercises to improve my understanding of the English structures. In addition, I tried to enlarge my vocabulary by memorizing a dictionary. Of course, I also did a lot of reading at the same time in order to strengthen my memory. Through my hard work, now my English has improved a lot and I am sure I can speak and write perfect English as the natives do in time to come.

11. W: Where did Mary come from?

M: She was born in the United States and grew up in Sweden, but now she is a citizen of Switzerland.

Q: What country does Mary presently call her home? 12. W: What can I do for you?

M: I wonder if there is a double room available.

W: Yes. We have a double room with an attached bathroom at fifty dollars a night. Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?

13. M: Many people prefer taking buses or even taxis because parking is a real headache in central part of the city. W: I can’t agree more.

Q: What does the woman mean?

14. M: I want to find a part-time job during the summer vacation and gain some work experience. How about you?

W: I’m going to read some books in American literature.

Q: What are they mainly talking about?

15. M: Excuse me, I want some English-Chinese dictionaries. Where can I find them? W: Here are some on discount, and on that shelf in the corner are regular-priced ones. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

Q: What is the man?

W: Hello. Can I help you with something?

M: I’m looking to buy a mobile phone, but I’m not sure how to choose one. There are so many types and styles.

W: That’s true enough, but there are a couple of things you should keep in mind when you buy one.

M: Really? Like what?

W: The first is how much money you can afford to spend, and what features on the phone you actually need. M: What about brand name?

W: Going by brand name is not always going to be good for you as there are many

pirated phones for sale. It’s easy to tell: if the phone is an expensive brand, but the price is very low, it is probably a fake.

M: That makes sense, but my Dad bought a Nokia on sale for a good price. He mailed in the registration and got a letter back from Nokia.

W: Sales are different. You are usually OK if you buy a phone on sale, but be sure you buy it at a Nokia or the brand name dealers’ shop. Don’t buy one off the street. M: I see. My friend bought a CD player at the street market and it never worked really well, and the instruction manual had many spelling errors in it.

W: Yes, that’s another way to detect a fake; he should have checked the serial numbers on the device. If the number is taped on, or if the brand name is misspelled, don’t buy it.

M: OK, thanks for the help. I have 1 500 yuan to spend. Can you recommend a phone for me? Nothing fancy, just a basic phone.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. What is the woman according to the conversation? 20. What does the woman say about brand name?

W: Do you want to fly first or economy class?

It was at Fishery Bay in South Australia that Jake came face to face with the ocean’s most fearsome predator.

Jake was paddling out for his last surf of the day when he felt something beneath

him. It was so big and solid that at first he thought he must have scraped against a submerged rock. A second later the truth dawned on him: it was a shark. A second after

that, he felt the great white bite into his right leg. “The force of it knocked me off my surfboard,” Jake told me. “I was punching and kicking and trying to push it away. I was screaming for help.”

The three metre-long shark turned and came in for a second attack. This time it

bit into Jake’s surfboard and dragged it under water. Moments later the board popped up again—this time in two halves. Jake jumped for the larger half and managed to scrabble onto it. It was then that the great white attacked for the third time. With a stroke of luck which seems more fitting to a Hollywood thriller than real life, a wave scooped up Jake and his board and pushed him towards the beach. Bleeding heavily, the 40-year-old fisherman managed to stagger ashore and was taken to hospital. He received 60 stitches in his right leg and arm. The puncture wounds are slowly healing. He’s particularly proud of a large scar on his arm in the shape of a J—J for Jake. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. Where does the story take place? 27. Who is Jack? Band Three 191

28. What’s wrong with Jack? Passage Two

Mr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not

sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to consult his doctor. The doctor advised

a change of surroundings. “Go abroad,” he said. “But I’m no good at foreign language,” said Mr. Smith. “It doesn’t matter,” said the doctor. “It won’t hurt you to talk a little less. Go on a voyage. Take plenty of exercise. Try to reduce your weight. Avoid rich food.” Mr. Smith went to Switzerland. He did not know French or German, and had to communicate through gestures. He attended a physical training course. The instructor made him bend his knees, swing his arms, stretch his neck and shake his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs alternately. After a time his muscles grew hard and firm. He forgot the financial crisis and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice individual trees and individual birds. Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary. Soon he was a normal business man again, worried about his property, his profits, his savings, his advancement in a technological society, and things in general. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. Why did Mr. Smith go to see his doctor?

30. Which country did Mr. Smith go to?

31. What happened to Mr. Smith when he traveled abroad? Passage Three

There was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman

would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.

You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you’re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.

It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

They provide (41)benefits for the sick and have tried to improve working (42)conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law for union members to go on strike without the (43)support of their union. This kind of strike is (44)called the unofficial strike and were common until recently. Employers feel that unofficial strikes are (45)the most harmful because they cannot be predicted. However, these still occur from time to time and (46)some unions

have also refused to cooperate with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and employers in Britain has gone from bad to worse. Band Three 193

Key to Model Test (5) Band Three Part I. Writing Sample Writing:

Harmfulness of Fake Commodities

Despite the continuous efforts of anti-fake campaigns, fake commodities can still

be seen everywhere. There are two major reasons contributing to this phenomenon. On the one hand, those profiteers take a risk to produce and sell commodities with lower quality just to make higher profits. On the other hand, some consumers tend to buy cheaper commodities without considering their quality.

Fake commodities do great harm to not only consumers but also our society. From

the media, we can learn so many cases in which consumers’ rights were harmed because of the fake commodities. Even some people were put to death owing to low-quality commodities. What’s more, the economic system of the society is severely disturbed. Patent and trademark holders find their intellectual right being infringed; lawful manufacturers find their sales volume sharply declining, even on the edge of bankruptcy. All these lead to the distrust to government authorities.

Therefore, it is urgent to take effective measures to put an end to fake commodities. First, people should be educated the harmfulness of fake Commodities. Second, our government should draw up strict law to punish those profiteers. If everyone takes immediate action to prevent fake commodities, they will definitely disappear in our society. Part II.

each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversations

and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a

11. M: I have an appointment to see Doctor Mary for a physical examination. W: Please have a seat. She is in surgery right now. Q: Where does this conversation take place? 12. W: Could I hand in my plan a few days later? M: I’m afraid that’s out of the question. Q: What does the man mean?

13. W: What do you plan to do this weekend?

M: I’m going to be lazy at home, maybe do some cleaning, watch TV, and work on my gardening.

Q: Where is the man going to spend his weekend?

14. W: When will the train from New York City arrive?

M: It was scheduled to be here at 9:35, but now it is expected to be 25 minutes behind schedule.

M: Well, I hope the new place suits you better.

W: I think so. It’s taken us six months to find a bigger place that we like—one with a bigger garden. Since the children have grown they need a lot more space. M: Well, the best of luck with the new place—I hope the move goes well.

W: Thanks. Oh, by the way, I’ve sent a copy of the report to Mr. Hansen—is that OK? M: Yes, good idea. Miss Grace, our sales director, has just asked me about it in fact.

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some

The younger members of most American families do not like foreign food. They like a kind of food called HAMBURGERS. Their idea of a good meal is a hamburger, served with ketchup, a sort of thick tomato sauce, and fried potatoes, which are called French Fries. French fries are not considered foreign; most American children and teenagers love to eat them any time of the day or night.

Millions of hamburgers and French fries are eaten every year. Thousands of roadside restaurants prepare and sell them. These are not really restaurants in the usual sense; they often have little space for tables and chairs. Many people buy their hamburgers and take them home to eat, or eat them in their cars.

Sometimes it is not necessary to go inside in order to buy the hamburgers. They are ordered through a window in the restaurant and then are handed out through the window to the customer. Sometimes the customer doesn’t even have to get out of his car. When an American family travels abroad, this is almost always the custom that the younger members of the family miss most.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. According to the passage, what do most American children and teenagers love to eat?

27. Why is it sometimes not necessary to go inside a restaurant to buy hamburgers? 28. What can be inferred from the passage? Passage Two

People have always wanted to fly. For hundreds of years they watched birds flying and wished that they could fly too.

At first they made wings like birds. Then they jumped off high buildings and tried to fly. Many people did this but they all failed to fly. They crashed to the ground. Then two brothers tried another way.

They built a balloon. It was made of thin cloth and paper. They lit a fire beneath it. 200 Model Test (5)

Up into the air it went. It reached a height of 1,800 metres.

A few months later the brothers sent up another balloon with a basket underneath

containing a sheep, a duck and a hen. The balloon traveled to a place two and a half kilometers away. In October 1783 a man went up with a balloon, but it didn’t rise very high. A month later two more people went up in a balloon full of hot air. The balloon rose to a height of 900 metres. The wind blew it along for nine kilometers. Then it came back gently to earth. People had traveled through the air for the first time! Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. How did people first learn to fly?

30. How high did the first balloon reach? 31. What is the main idea of the passage? Passage Three

The Atlantic Ocean is one of the oceans that separate the 0ld World from the New. For centuries it kept the Americas from being discovered by the people of Europe. Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out

into it. One idea was that it reached out to “the edge of the world”. Sailors were afraid that they might sail right off the earth. Another idea was that at the equator the ocean would be boiling hot.

The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is

more than 4,000 miles wide where Columbus crossed it. Even at its narrowest spot it is about 2,000 miles wide. This narrowest place is between South America and Africa. Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean.

There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by river, it would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up. On the average the water is a little more than two miles deep, but in some places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico. This “depth” measures 30,246 feet—almost six miles. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 32. Which of the following statements is true about the Atlantic Ocean? 33. What made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into the Atlantic? 34. Which of the following statements is true?

35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Section C: Compound Dictation

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time,

Summer means internships(实习) for thousands of American college students. They are working in the kinds of jobs they might want to have some day.

Experts say at least one-third of all American college students complete an internship before they (36) graduate. Most work at an internship during the summer

when they do not (37) attend classes. Some work at an internship during other times of the year. Others do an internship soon after (38) completing college. Some people work for large (39) companies. Some work for small (40) organizations. Some work for the United States (41) government.

Many interns do not earn money at their summer jobs. Some college students

get an internship to gain (42) experience in the kind of job they want to get after graduation. Others do not yet know what kind of (43) permanent job they want. So, they may get internships in several different companies or organizations. (44) In this way, they can find out what kind of job they like best. Why are internships so popular? Students can learn about different kinds of jobs. (45) They can do interesting

work. They can learn skills and gain valuable experience. And they can meet important people. (46) Students often describe internships as a chance that happens once in a lifetime.

With the development of industry and the increasing of world population, the

problem of environmental pollution is getting more and more serious. There appear different kinds of pollution on the earth such as air pollution, water pollution, and noise pollution. Every day, factories give off a huge piles of wastes. People discard and release a mountain of daily garbage and rubbish. Vehicles send out sharp noises. How terrible the environment we are living in.

People are now showing a real concern over the problem. Since the pollution does a great harm to our environment, esp. to our health, people more and more realize that we should take effective measures to get rid of pollution. Therefore, there are frequent reports about pollution in the media. Every country often holds conference in order to come up with good ways to control it.

Fortunately, a lot of measures have been taken to cope with the current situation.

Firstly, every government has made the strict law to punish those who destroy the environment in different degrees. Secondly, scientists have found out the efficient ways

to reuse and recycle wastes. Thirdly, city builders have designed properly to reduce the pollution to the minimum. Finally, trees, flowers and grass have been planted in many places. If everyone on the earth makes up his mind to protect the motherland, the environment around us will become definitely clean and beautiful again quite soon. Part II.

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some

The journey two drivers made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be studied. The two men went

down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents or signs of life.

It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and so be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began

preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared

under the surface of the water.

The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers of water. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well

until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise: even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft

ocean floor raising a big cloud of “dust” made up of small dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. What did the drivers want to find at the deepest point on the earth? 27. Why did the drivers set out early in the morning? 28. What did the drivers find on the ocean floor?

Passage Two

For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s

greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of

the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking

people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that “it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations”!

Band Three 209

Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort ( it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.

Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. What can we conclude from the passage?

30. Where are many English words and phrases we use today from according to the passage?

31. Who should read Shakespeare’s plays in order to learn the richness of English language?

32. What is the author’s purpose to introduce the information? Passage Three

It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around

large cities with factories and/or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil

fuels ( coal and oil) is creating a greenhouse effect —holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.

Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature ‐a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will make up for each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.

Contemporary American Art Goes to Asia

An exhibition of (36) contemporary American art begins a six-city tour of (37) Asia this week. “Outward Bound: American Art at the Brink of the Twenty-first Century” opens on August 25th at the Museum of Fine Arts in Hanoi.

“Outward Bound”, which was (38) organized by Meridian International Center, is not a (39) definitive survey, but it does provide a (40) glimpse of American Art at the end of the 20th century. The show (41) features 85 works by 78 artists, and although it premiered (首创)here in the United States, curator(馆长) Nancy Matthews says she selected the works with a foreign (42) audience in mind.

“Meridian’s (43)exhibitions are designed to (44) build bridges between cultures and to promote international understanding through fine art. We have done a number of exhibitions here in Washington, (45) which we brought here and then sent across America for Americans to see art from other countries. This is our first attempt to (46) take American art abroad and to make a complete exchange. We tried to show America as a place, as a feeling, as a representative of our various ethnic groups, our regions. Band Three 211

A Letter to the University President about the Service of the School Hospital Dear Mr. President,

I am sorry to disturb you. I’m one of the freshmen from the Foreign Languages

Department. I’m writing this letter to you just wanting to say something about the service of our school hospital on behalf of most of the students of my department.

Generally speaking, we are quite satisfied with the service of our school hospital. The medicine here is comparatively cheaper but effective in treatment. The staff are friendly and patient. Most of them have high medical skills. However, we find some of the young doctors are not so patient to the patients and sometimes they don’t know what medicine to prescribe to the patients. So it’s urgent for them to improve their skills and service as soon as possible.

Another thing we want to mention is the environment of the hospital. It’s quite clean. But it is always crowded and many patients stand there waiting for a long time since there is not enough space and seats for them. Therefore, we also hope that this problem can be solved as soon as possible. We are looking forward to your feedback. Yours sincerely, Li Ming

Reading Comprehension

47-56 EBGAI NOKFD

57-61 C D A B A 62-66 C A C D B 解析：

47. 答案E. necessarily。通过语句成分分析可以判断这里应当填入修饰成分——副词，考虑选项E和F，在意思上显然E合适。

48. 答案B. Indeed。这里缺少语气副词，况且首字母应当大写，不难选定B。

49. 答案G. accused。固定搭配be accused of表示受指责，符合文意。

50. 答案A. Operating。因在句首，只能选择首字母大写的词汇，排除B后，仅剩A、C和 H。此时根据上下文表达的意图可推测A. Operating“运行”为正确答案。

51. 答案I. right。通过语法可以确定这里是定语，形容词比较合适，在结合语意，可以确定I. right是唯一答案。

52. 答案N. with。这里考虑J. by 与N. with。前者表示“靠、通过”，后者表示“手段”。显然N选项较好。 53. 答案O. forgetting。在介词without之后只能选择动词+ing形式，K. specializing与句意不符，只有O. forgetting为正确答案。

54. 答案K. specializing。Specializing in 表示“专业从事⋯”。

55. 答案F. consistently。通过语句成分分析可以判断这里应当填入修饰成分，副词consistently 符合条件。

56. 答案D. collapse。名词选项只有D. collapse和L. thought，在意思上应当选D。 57-61 C D A B A 解析：

57. 答案C。细节题。该题应采用排除法。选项A可以从文章第一句得到证实，故排除；B 选项与文章第二句表述一致，也排除掉；D选项出自第一段最后一句，也可排除；C

Band Three 213

选项似乎正确，但过于绝对，从第一段最后可以知道除了广告还有展览、博览会等手段。所以C为正确选项。

58. 答案D。细节题。该题仍然出自第一自然段，应采用排除法。做题的依据是第一段末。

59. 答案A。细节题。根据第三段的论述，尤其在中间“it is the customer who pays for advertisement”

可以确定答案为A。

60. 答案B。细节理解题。本题出自最后一段。结合上下文可以推测出该词的意思是B选项。

61. 答案A。推断题。文章最后一句是说“如果经营者对自身广告的价值没有信心的话，他们是不会投入大笔资金于广告的。这句话的言外之意是广告必然能为他们带来巨大利润。故A正确。 62-66 C A C D B 解析：

62. 答案C。细节题。第一段最后It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand说明万圣节已经成为孩子们的节日，故C为正确选项。

63. 答案A。细节题。注意题目问的是万圣节的传统装饰。在第二自然段可以找到答案。 B为干扰选项，它是目前的故个别装饰；选项A才是正解答案。

64. 答案C。细节题。本题出自第三段，可以采用排除法。A、B、D在第一句可以得到证实，只有选项C未提及。

65. 答案D。细节题。本题出自最后一段。其中句子This special collection of money by children for needy children说明这些钱是用来帮助其他孩子的。故D选项正确。

66. 答案B。细节题。在文章最后说The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin. Reminiscent意为“回忆的”，故B正确。 Part V. Cloze

67-86 BACBC DDDDB DAABC CDCBA 解析：

67. 答案B. purpose目的。其它选项分别为A. reason原因，C. result结果，D. aim目的。该句的意思是：我们并不是仅仅为了教育的目的而教育孩子。该句后面紧接着说道：我们的目的是⋯。再结合for the purpose of这一固定搭配这样很容易确定选项。

68. 答案A. fit。其它选项分别为B. make使，制造；C. want想D. persuade劝说；只有A. fit 符合题意。

69. 答案C. system 。这里指的是“教育体制”，而其它选项A. set套，B. model模特，D. part部分都与文意不符。

70. 答案B. by。这里考察介词的用法。By表示通过（某种手段），on是关于⋯，with表伴随，for指为了。通过上下文不难看出这里要表达的是“通过免费教育⋯”，故选B。 71. 答案C. society社会。A. country国家，B. world世界，D. education教育。注意空格前面是介词of，没有任何冠词，这样可以排除A. country国家，B. world世界。在分析意思，最终确定C. society社会是正确答案。细心的同学在文章最后一段第三行也可以看 214 Model Test (7) 到society的用法。

72. 答案D. already。这段开始说：曾经有一段时间人们认为⋯，所以这里用already与上

文呼应；而且其他选项在意思上也不适合。

73. 答案D. a far larger number of。本题考察比较级的使用。这里比较的是拥有大学学历的人数和相应的工作份数。所以排除B、C，而A不是比较级，无法和句中的than搭配。

74. 答案D. there are。表示“有”。 75. 答案D. far。本题再次考察比较级的使用。A. by far用于修饰最高级，B. very和C. better 无法和more相接。

76. 答案B. that of a professor。注意相比较的词语是the work of a completely uneducated person，前后应保持结构一致。

77. 答案D. without。这句话的意思是：没有教育，我们能够生活，而如果没有食物，我们会死亡。因此D. without正确。

78. 答案A. if，表示条件、假设。参看46。

79. 答案A. cleaned。根据后面并列的动词took可以确定这里须填过去式。

80. 答案B. should get。通过48题可以看出这里是虚拟语气，只有选择B) should get。 81. 答案C. when。后半句是it means that„，所以C. when是唯一最佳答案。 82. 答案C. in such a way。这里表示“这样一种方式”。可以看到后面有that„，判断是 such„that„结构，而A. in such a case指“这样一种情况”，意思不当。

83. 答案D. all。通过文章的理解，可以知道这里所表达的是“所有的工作都是社会所必须的”。 84. 答案C. ashamed 羞愧的。其他各项分别是A. shy害羞，B. awkward尴尬，D. refused拒绝。

85. 答案B. someone else’s。参看45。

each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversations

and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a

W: I’d like to, but my doctor suggested I stay at home and have more rest. Q: What is the woman going to do?

12. M: How do you go to work every day? By bus or by train? W: Actually, I go by bicycle. Q: How does the woman go to work? 13. M: Can I stay with my wife a little longer?

W: Sorry. The visiting hours are over. And your wife needs more rest. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

14. M: What about this green coat?

W: I think I look terrible in green. I’d rather have the blue one though it’s a bit large. Q: What can we infer from the conversation? 15. M: If I were you, I’d go to the party.

W: What you don’t seem to understand is that I just don’t have the time.

Q: What does the woman mean?

16. W: As I know, Jim is a basketball fan and Ted likes playing chess very much. But what about Jerry?

M: Jerry likes nothing better than going skating with his girl friend. Q: What can we learn about Jerry?

17. M: My cell phone just fell down to the floor and it doesn’t work properly. I wonder if I can use yours for a call.

Now you will hear two long conversations. Conversation one

M: What’s the rate for sending a package of books to Japan?

W: Eighty three cents per pound, but the limit is 11 per package if you want it to go book rate.

M: Oh, that’s right. I hope this package isn’t too heavy. W: Let’s weigh it ... no, you’re all right. It’s 10 pounds. M: That’s a relief! I don’t want to repack them.

W: Do these other two packages also contain books?

M: No, the larger one should be marked “fragile”. I’d like it to go by sea. W: All right. And this small package? M: What would it cost to send it air mail? W: I’ll have to weigh it„ $3.38.

M: I’d also like to insure it for $50.00,

W: That would be an additional $0.60. Now, you’ll fill out these customs forms for each package. Please state the contents and value of each one and the address of the returnee.

M: There, I think I’ve filled everything in correctly. W: That’s fine.

M: About how long will it take the larger packages to get there? W: By sea to Japan? Six to eight weeks. M: All right, then. Thank you very much.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. Where does the man want to send the packages? 20. How many packages contain books?

21. How much would the man pay for the small package? 22. Why will the larger packages take several weeks to arrive?

Conversation two

W: Jack, is it possible for you to spare some time this weekend to take George to the zoo?

M: I’m so sorry, Mary. I wish I could. But ...

W: Please, Jack, don’t tell me you are busy again this weekend. You are always busy with your work, never-ending work. Why don’t you think about your son and me? M: I do. You should know, Mary, what I’m working for. I’m trying my best to earn more money to support our family. Mary, you know, it’s getting difficult to make ends meet.

W: Yes, you’re trying your best. And I know you’re a very successful manager. But, Jack, you have to admit that you are not a devoted father.

M: That’s ... that’s unfair, Mary. It really hurts me when you say that.

W: It seems to me that all you really care about is your career I mean, you don’t show enough concern for my career or the education of our son.

M: What do you mean, Mary? I do care about you and our son. But the problem is I ... Band Three 217

I just don’t have enough time to take care of the family. I feel really awful.

W: Jack, what I mean ... I mean you should try to understand me, understand how hard it is as a working mother. I have to strive to keep the balance between being

a mother and a professional. You know it’s really hard. Keeping up the family responsibilities at home, and still having to work hard at my job. You should know there is always the possibility of being laid off.

M: Don’t worry so much, Mary. To be honest, I’d rather you stay at home to be a fulltime housewife, so „

W: No, no way. I wouldn’t give up my career for anything M: All right, all right, let’s talk about it later.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23. Who’s George according to the conversation? 24. What is the man?

25. What does the woman have to strive to do? Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some

questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a

question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One

It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a hurt brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives only three to five minutes. Sometimes, the hurt brain gets better by itself. More often the doctor can’t fix the hurt brain. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help. It is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctor might make the person worse if he works on the brain.

Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should try to make the brain become very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctors a longer time to do something for the brain.

Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs.

Then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brain. When the brain temperature was 10 °C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations, the monkeys were as they were before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

Dr. White’s idea works well on monkeys. Are there other problems with human beings? Dr. White thinks doctors will use his idea on human beings. He thinks it will help people who have to die when their heart stops; doctors can start it again. The problem comes

when the brain is without blood for three to five minutes; the person has a living body, but a 218 Model Test (7)

dead brain. Maybe in the future, doctors will try Dr. White’s idea. When the person’s heart stops, the doctors will quickly try to cool the brain. They will have 30 minutes to start the heart again. Maybe there will be no problem with the brain. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. How long can the brain live without enough blood? 27. What will help doctors work on the brain? 28. What is the best title for this passage? Passage Two

Mrs. Peters stopped playing the piano when she began to work. She had lived in a very small flat, and there had been no room for a piano. But when she married, she had a new flat which was big enough for one. So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her. She saved some money, and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday. Then she went to a shop and said, “ I’ll choose whichever piano does not cost too much and fits into my living room.”

When she had paid for the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned every few months. Mrs. Peters agreed.

A few months later she heard from the shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning. Now she had not cleaned the house yet, so it was dusty and untidy. Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, and felt ashamed whenever

strange people saw her house like that. So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully.

It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired, but anyhow, by the time the man arrived, everything was finished.

She opened the door, and the man was standing there with a big dog. “Good morning,” the man said politely, “will it disturb you if I bring my dog in, please? I’m blind, and he leads me wherever I go.”

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. Why was Mrs. Peters soon able to buy a piano? 30. What made Mrs. Peters hot and tired one morning? 31. Why Had Mrs. Peters wasted her time? Passage Three

Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace, which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and

glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts

of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on display. The most wonderful

piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth’s steam hammer. Though in those days, traveling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the

Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by Band Three 219

train. There were six million visitors in all, and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

32. When was the Crystal Palace built?

33. How was the Crystal Palace different from all other buildings in the world? 34. How did thousands of visitors get to the Crystal Palace from Europe? 35. What can we learn about the Crystal Palace? Section C: Compound Dictation

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time,

A strict vegetarian is a person who never in his life eats anything 36 derived from animals. The main 37 objection to vegetarianism on a long-term 38 basis is the difficulty of getting enough protein— the body-building 39 element in food. If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for some days or weeks (say, for 40 religious reasons) you will have 41 noticed that you tend to get physically weak.

Proteins are built up from 42 approximately twenty food elements called “ aminoacids”(

氨基酸), which are found more 43 abundantly in animal protein than in vegetable protein. This means you have to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order to get enough of these amino-acids. A great deal of the vegetable food goes to waste in this process and 44 from the physiological point of view there is not much to be said in favor of life-long vegetarianism.

The economic side of the question, though, must be considered. Vegetable food is much cheaper than animal food. However, 45 only a small proportion of the vegetable protein is useful for body-building purposes. A consistent vegetarian, if he is to gain the necessary 70 grams of protein a day, has to 46 consume a greater bulk of food than his digestive organs can comfortably deal with. In fairness, though, it must be pointed out that vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein a day. 220 Model Test (8)

College Students’ Doing Part-time Jobs

Nowadays, more and more college students take part-time jobs. People have different ideas about this phenomenon. Some people argue that doing part-time jobs is

beneficial to students. As we know, many college students at school are only children. They have been depending on their parents completely before entering the college. Therefore, taking part-time jobs can not only cultivate their sense of independence and responsibility but also train their abilities and willpower. What’s more, students from poor families need part-time jobs to relieve their financial burden.

However, others contend that doing part-time jobs does have disadvantages. The

biggest problem is some students spend too much time on part-time jobs, which makes them fail to concentrate on their study. What’s worse, some students surrender to bad temptation from outside campus and get some evil influences, even a few commit crimes.

As for me, taking part-time jobs properly is good for college students. You must keep a balance between part-time jobs and your study. If you have enough time and

energy, you can have one. But if you can’t cope with your study while doing a part-time job, you must stop it.

Part III. Listening Comprehension Scripts:

Section A:

Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of

each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversations

and questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

11. M: Did you have any plan to buy a car since your new house is too far away from your office?

W: Oh, that’s beyond my means.

Q: What do we know about the woman?

12. W: I want to take a bath before going to bed. Could you keep an eye on the baby, honey? M: Sure, should I feed him if he wakes up?

Q: What does the woman ask the man to do?

13. M: Will you come to the party with us this evening? W: I’d love to, but I have to finish my lab report. Q: What is the woman going to do? 14. M: How about your party last week?

W: It was so interesting that not a single friend was absent. Q: What does the woman mean?

15. W: You were seen hanging about the bank on the day when it was robbed, weren’t you? M: Me? You must have made a mistake. I was on duty that day. Q: What are they talking about?

16. M: Good morning. I’d like to speak to Mr. Black, please.

Band Three 225

Now you will hear two long conversations. Conversation one

W: What sports do you often go in for, Mr. White?

M: Oh, football—both kinds, you know, soccer and rugby. I play quite a bit of cricket, too. Do you like sports, too, Miss Li?

W: Yes, very much. I play basketball, but my favorite sport is table-tennis. What’s your favorite sport?

M: Mine is football. It’s the best way to build up your health, I think. W: That’s true. I’m interested in it, too. M: Is football very popular in China now?

W: Not really. In fact, only in recent years have people taken an interest in football. It’s getting more and more popular, though. What about watching the football match tomorrow evening? I’ve got two tickets. M: Why, yes, that’ll be nice. Thank you.

W: By the way, people say in Britain there are many football fans behaving as troublemakers. Is that true?

M: Yes, sometimes. In fact, only a few get out of control. W: British people have a keen interest in the game, as I can see.

M: Right! Football fans are so dedicated that they travel hundreds of miles to see their favorite team in action and cheer it on to victory.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. What are the favorite sports of the man?

20. What does the woman say about football in China? 21. What does the man think of British football fans? Conversation two

W: Hi, Steve, is that you?

M: Sharon, wow! I can’t believe it. What have you been doing since graduation? W: I have been busy in a travel agency. M: Didn’t you just get on?

W: No, no. I just changed my seat. A man sitting by the window was smoking, and smoke really bothers me.

M: Do you have family in New York?

W: No, no. But I do have very close friends in New York City. We like to go to the theatre together. How about you?

M: Yeah. A son and his wife and their three children —my grandchildren. W: You must be excited. M: I can’t wait to see them. W: Are you going to live with them? M: Yes.

W: Permanently?

M: Well, they want me to, but it’s too early to know for sure. Some people don’t mind being alone. I do.

23. What may be the most probable relationship between the two speakers? 24. What do you know about the man?

25. What can be concluded from the conversation? Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some

questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One

Some mental health research has linked depression in women with lower weight in their babies during the first year of life. They studied 632 women from small villages. The women were in good physical health and in the last three months of pregnancy.

The study identified 160 of women, or one in four, as depressed. They always felt sad or tired. They had problems eating and sleeping. They felt guilty and thought about killing themselves.

The researchers compared these women with 160 others who were not depressed.

Health workers then weighted and measured the babies of both groups at birth. Re-examinations took place at two, six and twelve months of age. The health workers also re-examined the mental health of the mothers.

Babies whose mothers remained depressed grew less than the babies of the other

women. The babies of the depressed mothers were also more likely to get sick. Earlier studies showed that ten to fifteen percent of pregnant women and new mothers in Western nations suffer from depression. Other studies in South Asia have found that depression affects almost two times as many women in developing countries.

A new program will be started to help these new mothers. In the program health workers will visit new mothers for up to a year. The workers offer advice about things like health and cleanliness. The health workers will also listen to the mother’s problems and suggest some easy things at first that she can do for her baby. The program will be tested for three years to see how well it succeeds.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. What is said to be relevant to babies’ lower weight?

27. Which is a finding of the research?

28. What do the health workers do to help the depressed women according to the passage? Band Three 227

Passage Two

Not many couples stay married for 50 years. Even fewer do so for 75 years. It’s almost impossible for a couple to be married for 85 years. But that’s exactly what Henry

and Maggie Thurston did.

Henry was born on a farm in Iowa in 1857. At the age of 18 he went to Chicago to attend the university. There he met Maggie who had come from Cleveland to study art. She was one year younger.

This was a true case of love at first sight. They got married in 1876, less than six months after they met. In 1877 their first son, Jack, was born. By 1885 they had five children, including their third son, Lou, who became a well-known writer. From 1900 to 1915 Henry and Maggie became grandparents thirty one times.

On February 14th, 1961, they celebrated their 85th anniversary. The day they had chosen for their wedding day had become Valentine’s Day. Over one hundred newsmen came to report on the event. The couple was seen on national TV. Most amazing of all, though, was the fact that over 1,500 relatives were also present. The youngest was a three-week-old baby girl. Henry and Maggie were old. He was 104 and she was 103. Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. What did Maggie study at university?

30. Which of the following is true about Lou Thurston?

31. When did Henry and Maggie celebrate their 85th wedding anniversary? 32. How old was Maggie when they celebrated their 85th wedding anniversary? Passage Three

An old expression says, “Man’s best friend is his dog.” Today, however, it seems that cats have replaced dogs as the most popular pets in American homes.

Americans have more than 62 millions pet dogs. But even more cats — more than 64 million — live in American homes.

Americans are increasingly serious about their cats. These concerns have made the care of cats into big business.

Each year, cat owners buy tons of food especially prepared for cats. They buy toys and other equipment. They buy jewelry and clothes for themselves with images of cats on them. Some owners even bury their dead pets in special burial grounds.

Humans have loved and respected cats for centuries. Scientists have evidence that

cats and people lived together as long as 8,000 years ago. The small house cat was once a highly honored animal. In ancient Egypt, for example, people who killed a cat could be punished by death.

Early in American history cats were not treated as gods, however. They probably arrived in the United States with settlers and traders from Europe. These cats worked. They killed rats and mice.

Animal experts offer several reasons why cats have become so popular as house pets. They say cats need less care than dogs. And cats do not seem to suffer as much as dogs from being alone if the owners are away. 228 Model Test (8)

Some research explains the reason this way: Dogs follow you around. They want you to talk to them and play with them a lot of the time. Cats like more space and more privacy. This does not mean they do not love their owners.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

34. What made the care of cats into a big business?

35. Why do Americans prefer cats to dogs? Section C: Compound Dictation

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time,

you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. West Texas Tries Tourism

West Texas is a vast area. Much of it—(36) especially near the so-called “ Big Bend” where the Rio Grande river runs—is rugged and desolate. It is also hot and dry, and two devastating (37) droughts during the past (38) decade almost (39) ruined a farming and ranching industry that was a (40)struggle even in the best of

times. As a result, several (41) communities have decided to (42) promote tourism to help (43) strengthen their sagging economies.

Jack Brisbin, the County Judge in Marfa, says that not too long ago, Marfa was dying. (44) Because of repeated droughts and falling crop prices, residents could no longer depend on agriculture for income. So Judge Brisin and other community leaders decided they’d try to make some money from tourism. (45) Marfa has two advantages to aid the effort. It is near Big Bend National Park which is a popular tourist destination. And, says Judge Brisin, (46) the town boasts a unique atmospheric phenomenon, known as “The Marfa Lights”. Band Three 229

Key to Model Test (9) Band Three Part I. Writing Sample Writing: Traveling Abroad

In recent years more and more people in China choose to travel abroad on holidays. There are some reasons for this tendency. First, with the rapid development of

China’s economy, people’s income is increasing and many people can afford to spend their holidays abroad. Second, a lot of people hope to enjoy themselves and broaden their knowledge by visiting the foreign countries in person.

However, while people are traveling abroad, they may encounter some unexpected problems. For example, some tourists, esp. older ones are poor in English speaking.

Others may be able to speak English, but they can’t speak other foreign languages. So it is difficult for them to get around the non-English speaking countries or the cities they are visiting by themselves. Another common problem is tourists have to wait for some time to get their visas. And sometimes people can’t adapt to the life style of the foreign countries which usually makes them frustrated.

As for me, although there are inevitably some problems when traveling abroad, an

increasing number of people are still going abroad. Just remember the old saying: When

in Rome, do as the Romans do.

W: Have you finished the first assignment yet?

M: Not yet. I just bought the books today. How about you?

W: I started this afternoon. It’s great fun reading those wonderful children stories by Doctor Brown.

M: Doctor Brown? I don’t remember seeing his name on the reading list.

W: His full name is Jonathan Brown Smith. You can find this name on the reading list. Doctor Brown is his pen name.

M: I love reading those stories as a child. It’ll be interesting to read them now from a different point of view. I guess they’ll give me a good idea of how children think. W: Those stories are also great for classroom use. M: How’s that?

W: Well, take a typical Doctor Brown’s book like The cat in the hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only two hundred words.

M: So that means the children get lots of practices using a small number of words over and over.

W: Exactly. In fact, the cat in the hat was written mainly to show how a controlled vocabulary reading could also be interesting and fun.

M: It sounds as though this course is also going to be interesting and fun. I think I’ll get started on reading those tonight.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some

When the early settlers, especially the English, arrived in the New World, the difficulties and dangers awaiting them were totally unexpected. Had it not been for some friendly Indians, the colonists would never have survived the terrible winters. They knew nothing about planting crops, hunting animals, building houses, or making clothing from animal skins. Life in England had been much simpler, and this new life was not like what the Spanish explorers had reported.

The settlers did introduce Iron tools, guns for hunting, trained animals, and political

ways to the Indians. In exchange, the settlers learned to build boats for water transportation and snowshoes for winter traveling. The Indians also taught them to make marks for others to follow, to hunt large animals and trap smaller ones, and to catch fish in the lakes and streams.

The natives also introduced to the settlers typical food such as corn and beans. Everything possible was done in order to make their new village resemble the homes they had left behind.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. What did the new settlers teach the Indians?

27. Which of the following was not introduced to the settlers by the Indians? 28. According to the passage, which statements is not true? Passage Two

There are thousands of colleges and universities in the United States. Nearly half of the high school graduates in America go on to college. Most go to large universities. These are state universities. Some of these universities have 40,000 or more students. There are also many small universities with only a few hundred students. Large universities have many buildings, each building for a particular subject. The buildings are in a large area. This area is the university campus. Students often must go from one building to the next class in another building across campus. They may have only a few minutes between classes to go from one building to another. When students begin the university,

they must take classes in many subjects. These are the required courses. English and 236 Model Test (9)

math are usually required courses and often a history and a science course are required too. Most of the students will study mostly required courses during their first year. Later, they will specialize, and take courses in one subject.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. How many colleges and universities are there in the United States? 30. How many required courses for American university students are mentioned on the tape?

31. Which of the following statements is Not true?

Passage Three

The last part of this century will be an age of exploration such as man has never known. There are eight planets, at least thirty moons, and thousands of asteroids to be explored. Their total area is about 250 times that of the earth. Spaceships will not be able to land on some of them. But that still leaves to be explored an area ten times as great as the continents of the earth.

Exploring space may seem terrifying to some people. No doubt explorers of the past were terrified by the great empty oceans that lay before them. They conquered their fears, crossed the oceans, and built the New World.

In the past when explorers set sail into the unknown, they had to say good-bye to everything they knew at home. Space explorers will not face such great loneliness. Even when they travel far beyond the sun, they will be able to send messages back. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

32. When does the writer think that this exploration area will be explored? 33. How large is the total area?

34. What areas will man probably explore?

35. What will the space explorers do when they travel far beyond the sun?

Section C: Compound Dictation

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time,

you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

A major new study shows American children spend more time than ever - and at a (36) younger age than ever- at home watching television, listening to music and radio, using computers and playing video games. The study also (37) indicates that much of this time is spent without parental (38) supervision. Zlatica Hoke reports Band Three 237

the new findings are causing the debate over how much (39) influence the mediaespecially violent shows and games -have on young people’s (40) behavior today. The study, (41) sponsored by the Kaiser Family Foundation, finds that many

American children today have bedrooms that are fully (42) equipped media centers. They have multiple channel televisions, CD and video players, radios, computers and other electronic gadgets. The study shows kids, aged two to eighteen; spend

an (43) average of almost five and a half hours daily using electronic media for recreation. (44) They spend most of that time - almost two and a half hours a day -

watching television. Listening to music takes the second place at 48 minutes a day. (45)Although they still read for fun- on average 44 minutes a day, a growing number of kids spend a lot of time playing computers and video games.

Concerned parents, family advocacy groups and some educators contend that the media entertainment for young people contains too much violence. (46)Therefore, many people link exposure to violent TV, computer and video programming,

Key to Model Test (10) Band Three Part I. Writing Sample Writing: An Invitation Letter Dear Professor Brown, How are you recently?

I would like to write this letter to invite you to give a lecture for all the students in

our university. We sincerely hope you can come.

Our university is a non-leading comprehensive university and we offer students

courses concerning science and technology, arts, law, economy, management and education. Most students in our university study very hard and a lot of them take a particular interest in English study. However, many of them find their English study is of low efficiency. It seems that they are not properly guided in the process of English learning. Therefore, we wonder whether you could help them with their English by giving a lecture on English learning, especially the proper method of learning English. Also, we

would like you to give them some help on how to acquire language skills quickly and efficiently. We really appreciate it if you can accept the invitation and we are looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience. Best regards! Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

47-56 EAGCB ONHKJ

57-61 B A D C D 62-66 B A C C A 解析：

47-56 EAGCB ONHKJ

该短文主要讲述废纸回收问题。做题的关键在于分清词性，理解文章含义。

47. 答案E. stop。根据语法判断得知空格所在句子缺少谓语动词，即此处须填入一个动词，所有选项中只有E和K是动词；再根据搭配v + doing, 只有stop符合，而且意思也恰当。故是正确选项。

48. 答案A. contrary。通过分析，这里应表示与流行的想法相反，所以contrary是最佳选项。

49. 答案G. recovery。根据语法判断，空格处所填词汇是定语，修饰名词rates，所以可以选择形容词、分词或名词。结合上下文的意思，可以确定这里指的是回收率，故选 G。

50. 答案C. perfectly。同样根据语法判断，空格处所填词汇是定语，修饰good，只能选择副词。比较C. perfectly和D. continually后，在意思上C. perfectly更恰当。

51. 答案B. recycled。这句话表示人们除了扔掉很多很好的纸张外，还有一些纸张太脏而无法回收，还有一些项书本、杂志、文件等从来不被扔弃的纸张。做这道题的关键在于理解，同时根据and前连接的是soiled，说明所选词与soiled意义相反；而且最好是被动语态，所以B. recycled必然是正确答案。

52. 答案O. documents。可以看出这里须填名词，排除已经选用过的，待选项有H. belief， M. cooperation，O. document。再根据语意，不难选定O. documents。 240 Model Test (10)

53. 答案N. weak。很明显这里是一个形容词，L. similar 和N. weak成为备选项。而在语意上可以确定答案为N. weak。

54. 答案H. belief。根据语法判断，空格处所填词汇是名词。结合36题，还剩H. belief和 M. cooperation可选。空格后是同位语从句，所以只能选择H. belief。

55. 答案K. ensure。根据语法判断，空格处所填词汇必须是动词，K. ensure是仅剩且正确的选项。

56. 答案J. converting。在instead of之后必然是v-ing, 形式上合适的选项有F. preventing， I. controlling，J. converting。三者中只有J. converting在语意上合适。 57-61 BADCD

57. 答案B。细节题。文章第一句说到大多数顾主希望雇上合适的人选，这并非意味着他们只雇合适的人选，可以排除A选项；在第一段后两句可以得知他们事实上是拒绝不合适的人选，所以B正确。C与D两个选项考察对于第二句的理解，C选项与原文意思相反，D没有谈到。

58. 答案A。细节题。从第二段第二行可以看到recruiters(招聘人员) used three main selection methods to identify the right person，故选择A。

59. 答案D。细节题。此题考察对于第三段的理解。不难看出，研究证明面试不被视作可靠的原因有两点：1，面试结果容易受到书面申请材料的影响；2，每个面试官的理解不尽相同。因此选择D。

60. 答案C。细节推理题。通过前面的语句，可以推断这个词指评判的标准。A. model. 是模范、榜样，B. example例子，D. method方法。

61. 答案D。细节题。在第四段第二句说到书法被一些招聘人员当作评判的一项标准 62-66 B A C C A 解析：

62. 答案B。主旨题。纵观全文可以发现第一段首先对技术下了定义，接而谈到它给人们带来的种种好处，包括产量的增加、人们生活水平的提高，甚至还能延长人的寿命；第二段进一步说明技术进步可延长人们寿命和提高生活质量，因此美国不惜投巨资于科研开发；最后一段主要讲述技术的进步受人们需求所推动。选项A、C、D都过于片面，只有B为正确选项。

63. 答案A。细节题。该题考察对于单句的理解，即第一段最后一句“technology has also increased the amount of food available to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animal-breeding techniques, and has extended our life span via medical technology”，尤其应注意画线部分。不难理解通过医疗技术的进步可以延长寿命。故选项A 为正解答案。

64. 答案C。细节题。本题考察对于第一段的理解。采用排除法可以确定答案为C。 65. 答案C。细节题。本题出第二段。A选项过于绝对，文章仅仅谈到技术进步可延长寿命，这并不意味着我们不怕疾病和死亡；B选项显然错误，与原文恰恰相反；选项D 也与原文不符，因为作者只说会找到替代能源，并未说须改变生活方式；只有C选项与文章一致，是正确的。

66. 答案A。主旨归纳题。本题须了解全文。结合62题不难判断答案为A。 Band Three 241 Part V. Cloze

67-86 BCDBA DBDCC DCCCA BABCB 解析：

67. 答案B. demonstrated。选项中能与theory搭配的只有B. demonstrated“展示”合适。

68. 答案C. seems to be。主句选择一般时态。

69. 答案D. at making。be good at doing 是固定搭配，指“擅长⋯”。

70. 答案B. world。这里指的是世界市场，而A. universal“宇宙、通用的”、C. globe“全球” 都不恰当。

71. 答案A. make。Make a deal是固定搭配，指“做交易”。 72. 答案D. declared。根据前文可以判断这里是“宣称、宣布”较其他三个选项更好。 73. 答案B. like。would like to 是固定搭配，表示“愿意做⋯”。 74. 答案D. deal“交易”。与前文呼应。

75. 答案C. some。Thought“思考”为不可数名词，在结合意思，可以排除其他选项。 76. 答案C. agreed。A. permitted“许可、允许”，B. surrendered“投降、屈服”，C. agreed “同意”，D. promised“许诺”。根据语境可以确定C. agreed“同意”最贴切。 77. 答案D. per piece。固定用法。

78. 答案C. such a big。其余选项用法错误，注意所修饰的名词是order“订购”。 79. 答案C. only。根据上下文的意思，不难确定这里应当是“仅仅、只有”。 80. 答案C. were。虚拟语气的固定表达。

81. 答案A. at。固定用法，表示“原因、方向”。

82. 答案B. should。注意从句前面的动词是insisted，要求使用虚拟语气。 83. 答案A. certainly。可以结合意义判断。 84. 答案B. stubbornly “固执地、倔强地”。 85. 答案C. it。在这里充当形式主语。

86. 答案B. the same。表示“同样的”须用the same或identical。

Part VI. Translation

87. It’s reported that (women tend to live longer than men).

88. (When it comes to mathematics/ As far as mathematics is concerned), I’m completely at sea.

89. The shop assistant was dismissed as she (was accused of cheating customers/was charged with cheating customers).

Part III. Listening Comprehension Scripts: Section A:

Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of

each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversations

and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a

11. M: Do you mind if I open the door?

W: Of course not. You may do anything but watch TV. Q: What does the woman mean?

12. W: I haven’t seen Billy lately. How is he?

M: Not well. It’s said he had a car accident last week and needs several months to recover. Q: What happened to Billy?

13. W: Hello, Mr. Green, you look tired. Did you have a difficult journey? M: Well, I just got back. The flight from London was delayed four hours because of heavy fog. I didn’t go to bed until two o’clock this morning. Q: Which of the following statements is not true?

14. M: Would you like to go to the cinema with us this evening? W: Yes, I’d love to, but I have to see my uncle off.

Q: Why can’t the woman go to the cinema?

15. M: I wonder if I can get to the station in time. The train is supposed to leave at 9:50. W: Take it easy. We still have more than an hour, so we should be able to get there 30 minutes before the train leaves.

Q: What time are they supposed to arrive?

16. W: Do you want to buy a new computer or borrow one from your friend?

M: Buy a computer? It will cost me AN ARM and a leg, I’d better choose the latter. Q: What will the man do? 17. M: I wish I had seen the film.

W: Well, if I had known that, I would have bought two tickets. Q: What do we know from the conversation? 18. W: What will you do tomorrow?

M: I’ll read an article and do the laundry before I go shopping. Q: What will the man do first tomorrow? Band Three 243

Now you will hear two long conversations. Conversation one

W: My Political Science class has been teaching me about the history of women in America.

M: Sounds interesting. Learn any new recipes?

W: It’s not that funny actually. Did you realize that up until the 1850’s, women in America didn’t even have a legal right to own property?

M: I had no idea. Are you sure your professor has the facts straight?

W: Certainly. Women were given citizenship around the nineteenth century, but it wasn’t until the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 that women had full voting

rights.

M: Wow, I’m sorry. I wouldn’t have made that joke about learning recipes if I had realized it was such a recent issue.

W: It’s not a recent issue. It’s actually a current issue. Years ago women had the status of slaves. Now women are still paid lower than their male counterparts for doing the same amount of work. In that sense, women have a long way to go.

M: Well, I notice that there are more women than men on this university campus.

Education is probably the best way to cross that final hurdle for women’s rights W: I wouldn’t argue with you there.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. Where does the woman learn about the history of women in America? 20. Why does the man say sorry for the joke?

21. In the woman’s mind’s eye, what is the condition of women today? 22. What is the possible relationship between the two speakers? Conversation two

M: Hi, Jenny! How do you like the university?

W: Hello, Zhang Lin! I like it very much. It has a very large and beautiful campus. There are many trees and flowers on campus. M: Have you started your classes yet?

W: I have been to four lectures: chemistry, history, English and mathematics. M: Well, how were they?

W: They were very large. I’m not used to 300 students in class.

M: My lectures have been large too. Sometimes there are more than 300 students in my class.

W: Have you been to your English class yet?

M: Yes. It was quite small. There were only about 20 students in it. The instructor is from the United States. I like the course very much. W: My classes are so far apart. The campus is so big.

M: It certainly is. My morning classes are in different buildings. I have to run between them. Otherwise, I’ll be late. W: I guess we’ll get used to it. 244 Model Test (10)

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23. What is the possible relationship between two speakers? 24. What do they think of their lectures?

25. Why does the man run between buildings? Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some

questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One

Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer. My dentist

had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton-wool. He knew I collected birds’ eggs and asked me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job in London. In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, but could not say anything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton-wool from my mouth, I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. Why can’t the writer answer the dentist’s questions? 27. What did the writer do in order to answer the questions? 28. What did the writer tell the dentist at last? Passage Two

Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?

Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings—battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed—took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen.

Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and, of course, advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products.

They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still Band Three 245 make a profit.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. How did news spread five hundred years ago?

30. Which of the following is true about the money spent on advertisements? 31. What can we learn about large companies?

Passage Three

When a teacher or lecturer recommends a student to read a book, it is usually for

a particular purpose. In many cases, the teacher doesn’t suggest that the whole book should be read. In fact, he may just refer to a few pages which have a direct bearing on the matter being discussed.

Unfortunately, when many students pick up a book to read they tend to have no

particular purpose in mind other than simply to “read the book”. Often they open the book and start reading, page by page, line by line, word by word; in other words, slowly and in great detail. The result is that students frequently don’t have an overall view of what they are reading; also, they tend to forget fairly soon what they’ve been reading. Students can make their reading much more effective by adopting a strategy aimed

at helping them to understand and to remember what they read. Firstly, they should decide precisely why they’re reading the book: perhaps it’s to find some information that’ ll answer a question; perhaps it’s to understand a difficult idea or argument, and so on. Then the students should decide exactly what they are going to read; it’s seldom necessary to read the whole book. A good starting point is the contents page, the chapter

headings, and even the index at the back of the book. They are very useful in helping to

pinpoint the exact pages that need to be read carefully for particular pieces of information. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 32. According to the passage, what doesn’t the teacher suggest?

33. What is the writer’s attitude towards reading slowly and in detail? 34. What is the result of reading word by word? 35. What is the passage mainly about? Section C: Compound Dictation

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time,

you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have

Sailors, fishermen in 36 particular, have always been extremely superstitious. This is hardly surprising when one considers the 37 changeable nature of the sea where, even today with sophisticated weather-forecasting 38 techniques, a sudden storm can blow up quite 39 unexpectedly. In the days before radio and engines, where there could be no long-distance 40 communication with another ship or land, and when sails were the only means of movement, it was only natural for the sailor to take every 41 precaution to avoid offending the gods who controlled the sea. One way of pleasing these god was to make an 42 annual offering. This custom

43 survives in the ceremony of blessing the sea, which can still be seen once a year in some fishing ports. Next to pleasing the sea-gods, the most important thing for the sailor was to 44 know that his boat was free from evil influences. The time to make sure of this was at the launching ceremony. It is clear that the well-known custom of launching a ship by breaking a bottle of champagne(香槟) against the side goes back a very long way. The purpose of it is to 45 keep away evil spirits rather than to ask for the sea-god’s protection.

Starting on a new voyage or fishing trip was 46 a dangerous business at the best of times. Once the fishermen had set out on his ship, he dared not, on any account, look back.__
