1.
W: What a wonderful
performance
! Your
rock
band
has never sounded
better
.
M: Many thanks. I guess all those hours
ofpractice in the past month are
finall
y paying off.
Q
：
What does the
man mean?
2.
M: I can't
decide what to do for my summer vacation. I either
want to go on a
bike tour ofEurope or
go diving in Mexico.
W: Well, we're offering an all-
inclusive two-week trip to Mexico for only 300
d
ollars.
Q
：
What does the
woman suggest the man do for his vacation?
3.
W: How long do you think
this project might take?
M: I'd say about three months, but it
could take longer if something
unexpec<
/p>
ted
happened. Maybe we'd
better allow an extra month, so we
won
’
t have to
worry about beinglate.
Q: Why does the man say
extra time should be allowed for the project?
4.
M: I'm thinking about
becoming a member here, and I'd like some
informatio
n.
W: Sure. A three-month membership costs
150 dollars, and that includes use
of
the wait-room, sauna and pool. I'll give you a
free path so that you can try
out the
facilities before youdecide.
Q: What do we learn from
the
conversation
?
5.
W: I'm sorry to hear that
you failed the Physics course, Ted.
M: Let's face it. I'm just
not cut out to be a scientist.
Q: What does the man mean?
6.
M: Gary insisted on buying
the food for the picnic.
W: That's pretty
generous
of him. But
shouldn't we at least offer to share
th
e expenses?He has a big family to
support.
Q:
What does the woman suggest they do?
7.
W: Did you see the headlines in the
paper this morning?
M: Year
. Apparently the bus
company will be laying off its employees if they
c
an't reach anagreement on wages by
midnight.
Q:
What did the man read about?
8.
W: Have we received
payment
for the overseas
order we delivered last mont
h?
M: Yes. The
cheque came in yesterday afternoon. I'll be
depositing it when I g
o the banktoday.
Q: What is the
woman
concerned
about?
W: OK, that's it. Now we have to make
a
decision
. We might as well
do that
now, don't youthink?
M: Sure, let's
see. First we saw Frank did you think of him?
W: Well, he's
certainly a very polite young man.
M: And very
relaxed
, too.
W: But his
appearance
…
M:
En…
He wasn't well dressed.
He wasn't even wearing a tie.
W: But he did have a nice
voice. He sounded good on the telephone.
M: True. And I
thought he seemed very
intelligent
. He answered
Dona's que
stions verywell.
W: That's true, but
dressing well is important. Well, let's think
about the othe
rs. Now whatabout Barber
Jones? She had a nice voice, too. She sounded
goo
d on the telephone, and shewas well
dressed, too.
M:
En…
She did
look very neat, very nicely dressed,
but…
W: But so shy. She wouldn't be very
good at talking to people at the front
des
k.
M:
En…OK.
Now who
was the next?
Ar…Yes,
David
Wallace. I thought he was
very good,had
a lot of
potential
. What do
you think?
W:
En…
He seemed like a very
bright guy. He dressed very nicely, too. And
h
e had a reallynice
appearance
.
M: He seemed
relaxed
to me, the type of
person people feel comfortable wit
h
right away.
W:
He was polite, but also very friendly and
relaxed
as you say. I think
he'll
be good withthe guests at the
front desk.
M:
He had a very pleasant voice, too.
W: That's right. OK, good!
I guess we have our receptionist then, don't you?
M: Yes, I think
so. We'll just offer the job
to…

W: Hello.
M: Hello. Is
that the
reference
library?
W: Yes, can I
help you?
M: I
hope so. I ran earlier and asked for some
information about Dennis Hutt
on,
thescientist. You asked me to ring back.
W: Oh, yes. I
have found something.
M: Good. I've got a pencil and paper.
Perhaps you could read out what it says.
W: Certainly.
Hutton Dennis, born Darlington, 1836, died New
York, 1920.
M:
Yes, got that.
W: Inventer and physicist, the son of a
farmworker. He was admitted to the
U
niversity ofLondon at the age of 15.
M: Yes.
W: He graduated
at 17 with the first class degree in physics and
mathematics
. All right?
M: Yes, all right.
W: He made his
first
notable
achievement
at the age of
18. It was a metho
d ofrefrigeration
which rolls from his work in low
temperature
physics. He
be
came professor ofmathematics at the
University of Manchester at 24, where
h
e remained for twelve years.
Duringthat time, he married one of his
students,
Natasha Willoughby
M: Yes, go on.
W: Later
working together in London, they laid the
foundations of modern ph
ysics byshowing
that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply
at the level
of subatomic this he and
his wife received the Nobel Prize for
ph
ysics in 1910, and did so again in
1912for their work on very high
frequency
radio waves. In
his lifetime, Hutton patented 244inventions. Do
you want an
y more?
M: Yes, when did he go to
America?
W: Let
me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York and
died there suddenl
y after onlythree
weeks. Still he was a good age.
M: Yes, I suppose so. Well,
thanks.
Question 12: What do we learn about
Dennis Hutton when he was 15?
Question 13: What did
Dennis Hutton do at the age of 24?
Question 14: For what were
Dennis Hutton and his wife awarded the Nobel
Pri
ze a secondtime?
Question 15: Why did Dennis
Hutton go to New York?
In
America, white tailed deer are
more
numerous
than ever
before, so
abun
dant
in
factthat they've become a suburban nuisance and
ahealth
hazard
.
Why can't the
herd
be thinned the old-
fashionedway? The small
community
of
North Haven on LongIsland is home to some six
hundred to sevenhundred
deer. The
department of Environmental Conservation estimates
the optimum
population
at 60.
The town has been browsed bare of vegetation
except
wh
ere
gardens andshrubs are protected by high fences.
Drivers
routinely
collide
with deer
and there are so many dead bodies left by
the side of theroad that the town has
made it a deal with a local pet
cemetery
to
collect
and
dispose
of thebodies. Some
people in the town have become
ill from
deer transmitted diseases. On theoccasions when
hunting has been tri
ed, local animal
rights people have worked to
secure
courtorders against
the
hunts. And when that is failed,
they stop the hunters, banging on pots
andpa
ns to
alert
the deer. Town meetings called to discuss the
problem
inevitably
dissolved
intoconfrontations.
The activists believe simply that the
deer are not the problem. Some
commun
ities have evendiscussed the
possibility of bringing wolves back into the
ecolo
gical
mix.
That means wolves inthe suburbs of New York. It is
almost too wo
nderful not to try it. The
wolves would kill deer ofcourse. They would also
terr
orize and kill dogs and cats which
is not what the suburbandwellers have in
m
ind.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the
passage you have just heard
Q16. What do we learn about
white-tailed deer in North Haven?
Q17. Why do local animal
rights people bang on pots and pans?
Q18. What would happen if
wolves were brought back into the
ecological
mi
x?

原文
And now, if you'll walk this way,
ladies and gentlemen, the next room we're
g
oing to see isthe room in which the
family used to hold their formal dinner
par
ties and even
occasionallyentertain
heads
of state and royalty. However, th
ey
managed to keep this room friendly
and
intimate
. And I think
you'll agree.
It has a very
informal
atmosphere, quite
unlike some grandhouses you visit.
The
curtains were never drawn, even at night, so
guests got a view of the lak
eand
fountains outside which were lit up at night
–
a very
attractive
sight.
A
s you can see,ladies and gentlemen,
the guests were seated very informally
a
round this oval table, whichwould add
to the
relaxed
atmosphere.
The table
dates from the 18th century
and is made fromSpanish
oak
.
It's rather
remar
kable
for
the fact that although it's
extremely
big, it'ssupported
by just six r
ather slim legs. However,
it seems to have survived like that for 200years.
So
it's probably going to last a bit
longer. The chairs which go with the table
are
not acomplete set. There were
originally six of them. They are interesting
for
the fact that they arevery
plain
and undecorated for
the time, with only one
plain
central panel at the
back and noarmrests. I myself find them rather
un
comfortable
to
sit in for very long, but people wereused to more
discomfor
t
in the
past. And now, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like
to follow meinto th
e great
hall…
Q19. What do we learn about
the speaker?
Q20. What does the speaker say about
the room they are visiting?
