Conversation One
M: Hello, Professor Johnson.
W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?
M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me—one I participate in.
W: What sport did you choo?
M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.
W: What are you going to say about skiing?
M: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.
W: So why is that a problem?
M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods, I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy. But that's not part of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different.
W: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right?
M: Yeah, I guess so ...

W: Good evening, and welcome to this week's "Business World," the program for and about businesspeople. Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kane who has just taken over an established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kane, what made you want to run your own store?
M: Well, I've always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I ldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I'd do it. I had my heart t o
n it, and I didn't let anything stand in my way. When I went
down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I'd love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want.
W: You mean you don't keep regular hours?
M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are 10:00 to 6:00, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early.
W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?
M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It's great becau ... we play cards or just sit around and talk when there're no customers.

Passage One
I first met Joe Gans when we were both nine years old, which is probably the only reason he's one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school, we wouldn't even have had the chance to get to know each other. Joe is a day student, but I am a boarding student. We haven't been in the same class, sports, or extracurricular activities.
Nonetheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his hou and we talk on the phone every night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met
in our freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know each other due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests. In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common. But maybe that's what makes us enjoy each other's company so much.
When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I've known whom I never d忽然的反义词
isliked, but simply didn't take the time to get to know. Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is for the social divisions that exist in every community. Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places.
Questions 16 to 18 are bad on the passage you have just heard.
16. Why does the speaker say Joe Gans became one of his best friends? 17. Where does the speaker spend most of his weekends?
18. What has the speaker learned from his friendship with Joe?
Passage Two篮球比赛图片
While Gail Opp-Kemp, an American artist, was giving a speech on the art of Japane b
rush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confud to e that many of her Japane listeners had their eyes clod. Were they turned off becau an American had the nerve to instruct Japane in their own art form? Were they deliberately trying to signal their rejection of her?
Opp-Kemp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful. Japane listeners sometimes clo their eyes to enhance concentration. Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words.
Someday you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of a minority group in North America. Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings. Here are some examples:
In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applau not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air.
In some cultures, both overas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker. Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact.
In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval, while in other countries, it is a form of insult.
Questions 19 to 21 are bad on the passage you have just heard.
19. What did Opp-Kemp's speech focus on?
20. Why do Japane listeners sometimes clo their eyes while listening to a speech? 21. What does the speaker try to explain?
Passage Three
One of the greatest heartbreaks for firefighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building becau the child—frightened by smoke and noi—hides under a bed or in a clot and is later found dead.
Saddest of all is when children catch a glimp of the masked firefighter but hide becau they think they have en a monster.
To prevent such tragedies, firefighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays firefighters' equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. "If
you e us," Velez tells them, "don't hide. We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you."
Velez gives his prentations in English and Spanish. Growing up in San
Francisco, he learned Spanish from his immigrant parents.
Velez—and other firefighters throughout North America who give similar
prentations—will never know how many lives they save through their talks, but it's a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, veral months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother, who was choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker Julie Parris.
In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems, and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.
Questions 22 to 25 are bad on the passage you have just heard.
22. Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked firefighters? 23. What does the passage tell us about firefighter Eric Velez?
24. What do we learn about Pete Gentry?
25. What message is the speaker trying to convey?
Section C
Directions: In this ction, 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 cond time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
Almost every child, on the first day he ts foot in a school building, is smarter, more (26) curious, less afraid of what he doesn't know, better at finding and (27) figuring things out, more confident, resourceful (机敏的), persistent and (28) independent than he will ever be again in his schooling – or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life. Already, by paying clo attention to and (29) interacting with the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and (30) abstract than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the (31) mystery of
language. He has discovered it – babies don't even know that language exists – and he has found out how it works and learned to u it (32) appropriately. He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by (33) trying it out and eing whether it works, by gradually changing it and (34) refining it until it does狗狗眼睛发红
work. And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the (35) "concepts" that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.
