Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

听力原文：

W: Our topic today is about something that foreigners nearly always say when they visit

Britain. It’s “Why are the British so cold?” And they’re talking about the British

personality

—

the famous British “reserve”. It means that we aren’t very friendly ... we

aren’t very open.

M: So, do you think it’s true?

W: It’s a difficult one. So many people who visit Britain say it’s difficult to make friends

with British people. They say we're cold, reserved, unfriendly...

M: I think it ’s true. Look at Americans or Aus

tralians. They speak the same language, but

they’re much more open. And you see it when you travel, people —

I mean strangers

—

speak to you on the street or on the train. British people seldom speak on the train, or the

bus. Not in London, anyway.

W: “Not

in London”. That's it. Capital cities are full of tourists and are never friendly.

People are different in other parts of the country.

M: Not completely. I met a woman once, an Italian. She’d been working in Manchester for

two years, and no one

—

not one of her colleagues

—

had ever invited her to their home.

They were friendly to her at work, but nothing else. She couldn’t believe it. She said that

would never happen in Italy.

W: You know what they say

—

“an Englishman’s home is his castle”. It’s really d

ifficult

to get inside.

M: Yeah. It’s about being private. You go home to your house and your garden and you

close the door. It’s your place.

W: That’s why the British don’t like flats. They prefer to live in houses.

M: That’s true.

Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

12. What do foreigners generally think of British people according to the woman?

13. What may British people typically do on a train according to the man?

14. What does the man say about the Italian woman working in Manchester?

15. Why do British people prefer houses to flats?

他们说的是英国人 的性格——著名的英式“保守”。意思是我们不怎么友善……不怎么开放。

男：那么，你觉得这是真的吗？

女： 这是一个很难回答的问题。很多到英国的人都说跟英国人交朋友很难。他们说我们冷漠，保守，

< br>不友善……

男：我觉得这是事实。看看美国人和澳大利 亚人。他们说同样的语言，但是他们要更开放。而且你

旅行的时候会看到，人们——我是 说陌生人——会在大街上或者火车上跟你搭话。而英国人在火车

上或者公交车上很少说话 。反正在伦敦是这样。

女：“在伦敦的确不搭话。”那就是了 。首都城市全是游客，而且从来不友善。跟在英国其他地方

的人们不一样。

男：不完全是。我遇到过一位女士，意大利人。她在曼彻斯特工作了两年， 没有人——一个同事都

没有——曾经邀请她去他们家做过客。他们在工作中对她很友好， 但是仅此而已。她简直不能相信。

她说这在意大利从来不会发生。

女：他们都说——“一位英国绅士的家就是他的城堡。”想要进去实在是太难了。< /p>

Directions:

In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you

will hear three or four questions. Both the passage 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).

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

听力原文：

In college, time is scarce, and consequently, very precious. At the same time, expenses

in college pile up surprisingly quickly. A part-time job is a good way to balance costs while

ensuring there is enough time left over for both academic subjects and after-class activities.

If you are a college student looking for a part

—

time job, the best place to start your

job search is right on campus. There are tons of on-campus job opportunities, and as a

student, you’ll automatically be given hiring priority. Plus, on

-campus jobs eliminate

commuting time, and could be a great way to connect with academic and professional

resources at your university. Check with your school’s careers service or employment

office for help to find a campus job. Of course, there are opportunities for part-time work

off-campus, too. If you spend a little time digging for the right part-

time jobs, you’ll save

yourself time--when you find a job that leaves you with enough time

—

to get your school

work done, too.

If you are a college student looking for work but worr

ied you won’t have enough time

to devote to academic subjects, consider working as a study hall or library monitor.

Responsibilities generally include supervising study spaces to ensure that a quiet

atmosphere is maintained. It’s a pretty easy job, but one

with lots of down time which

means you’ll have plenty of time to catch up on reading, do homework or study for an

exam.

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

16. What does the speaker say about college students applying for on-campus jobs?

17. What can students do to find a campus job according to the speaker?

18. What does the speaker say is a library monitor’s responsibility?

在大学里，时间很短，因此非 常宝贵。同时，在大学中的开支却以惊人的速度增加。一份兼职工

兼职机会， 而且作为学生，你会自动获得优先录取的机会。除此之外，校内兼职可以抵消通勤时间，

份校内兼职吧。当然，校外也有兼职机会。如果你花一点时间找一份正确的兼职工作，你能省下时

如果是一个正在找工作却担心这会让你没有足够的时间投入学习的大学生的话，考 虑去做自习室

或者图书馆管理员吧。其职责主要包括看管学习场所，以确保安静。这是一 项相对简单的工作，却

Agricultural workers in green tea fields near Mt. Kenya are gathering the tea leaves. It is

beautiful to see. The rows of tea bushes are straight. All appears to be well. But the farmers

who planted the bushes are worried.

Nelson Kibara is one of them. He has been growing tea in the Kerugoya area for 40

years. He says the prices this year have been so low that he has made almost no profit. He

says he must grow different kinds of tea if he is to survive.

Mr. Kibara and hundreds of other farmers have been removing some of their tea bushes

and planting a new kind of tea developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya. Its

leaves are purple and brown. When the tea is boiled, the drink has a purple color.

Medical researchers have studied the health benefits of the new tea. They say it is

healthier than green tea and could be sold for a price that is three to four times higher

than the price of green tea.

But Mr. Kibara says he has not received a higher price for his purple tea crop. He says

the market for the tea is unstable. And he is often forced to sell his purple tea for the same

price as green tea leaves. He says there are not enough buyers willing to pay more for the

purple tea.
