听力原文 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 conversation 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.
Now, let’s begin with the eight short conversations.

11. M: Congratulations! I just heard about your acceptance into law school. Do you think you will join your brother’s firm after graduation?
W: Not likely. He is a tax lawyer and I’m going to major in criminal law.
Q: What does the woman mean?
12. M: Jenny, remember this: A job worth doing at all is worth doing well.
W: Oh, yes. I certainly won’t forget it. But don’t expect me to stick to the job just because it pays a few more bucks. A life of continued exploration is a life worth living!
Q: What can be inferred about the woman from the conversation?
13. M: I found that one of my schoolmates uses drugs. How could I help him, Mum?
W: Stay away from him, son. Never think that you can talk him out of the habit if he is addicted. But perhaps you can talk to your teacher about the matter.
Q: What’s the woman’s advice to her son?
14. W: I don’t know how you can eat so much yet never put on any weight, son. Your father’s got the same luck. I can’t take a bite without calculating how many calories I’m taking.
M: But remember Aunt Louise, Mum? She ate a lot and never gained a pound.
Q: Who is worried about gaining weight?
15. W: Did you turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors?
M: Yes. I told the Johnsons we’d be gone for two weeks. They promised to keep an eye on the house for us.
Q: What are the two speakers going to do?
16. M: Hurry up, Linda. I hear that there aren’t many tickets left for the football match.
W: I’m ready now. Let’s go. It’s the early bird that catches the worm.
Q: Why did the man ask the woman to hurry up?
17. M: What do you think of the government’s new tax-cut proposal?
W: Though it may give some benefit to the poor, its key component is the elimination of tax on dividends. That means the rich will get richer.
Q: What does the woman think of the government’s tax-cut proposal?
18. M: Excuse me, but could you tell me how to get to the Friendship Hotel? I thought it was on this corner, but I seem to have made a mistake.
W: I’m sorry, but I’m a stranger here myself. Maybe you can try calling them. There is a phone over there outside the department store.
Q: What does the woman mean?

Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: Morning, Brenda.
W: Good morning, Mr.Browning.
M: Er, did you, did you put that ad in yesterday?
W: Yes, yesterday afternoon
M: The ad for a junior sales manager, I mean.
W: Yes, it went into the Standard and the Evening News.
M: That’s good. Erm, well….
W: What kind of person have you got in mind for this job?
M: Oh, well, somebody fairly young, you know, twenty something, like 21, or 25. A man, I think.
W: A man?
M: We really need a man for the position. Yes, I mean, it’s really too demanding. The sort of situations they get into are much too difficult for a young woman to deal with, erm……
W: Erm, what sort of a young man have you got mind?
M: Oh, you know, a good education, polite, responsible, and easy to get along with. What I don’t want is one of those young men just out of university, whit exaggerated ideas of his own importance.
W: Yes, erm, what sort of education are you actually looking for?
M: Well, you know, a couple of A levels. Must have English, of course.
W: Yes, I think you’re asking quite a lot. I mean you’re not really prepared to pay all……
M: No, I’m not prepared to give him a big salary to start with. Nevertheless, I want someone with plenty of ambition, plenty of drive. You know, not looking at the clock all the time.
W: Well sir, I wish you the best of luck and hope you have some very successful interviews.
M: Well, yes?
W: Because personally I think you’re asking an awful lot.

Question 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What did Mr.Browning ask Brenda to do?
20. What kind of person will meet the job requirements?
21. What does Brenda think of the qualifications Mr.Browning insists on?

Conversation Two
W: We now interrupt our regular scheduled news program to bring you live up-to-date coverage on the civil unrest in the newly formed country of Karnak, where our man Stan Fielding is stationed. Stan…
M: This is Stan Fielding reporting live from the suburbs of the capital city. Just 20 minutes ago, rebel forces launched the biggest offensive against the ruling government in the 18month conflict here in this country.
W: Now Stan, is this a sign that the peace process has been totally abandoned?
M: Well, so far, peace negotiations have failed, and any resolution to end the civil war appears bleak at this moment. As you can see….Whoa.
W: Stan, Stan, are you there?
M: Uh, yes, Shelly. As you can probably hear behind me, rebel forces are also using heavy artillery to pound the positions of government forces around the city center. Rebel forces are closing in, and it’s feared that they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where, it is believed, many government officials are holding out.
W: Now, besides the heavy fighting, what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city?
M: Well, since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this war-torn country. It is believed that over 40000 people, mostly children, have starved to death. Fortunately, no epidemics have broken out, but that is always a concern if this war lingers on.
W: Okay, that was Stan Fielding reporting. And we will keep you up-to-date as this story continues to unfold.

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What is the news coverage mainly about?
23. What does the reporter Stan Fielding say about the situation in Karnak?
24. At what time of day do you think this news report is being made?
25. What is the pressing concern of the citizens of Karnak?

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 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). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
A few months ago, millions of people in London heard alarms all over the town. Emergency services, the fire department, the police, hospitals and ambulances stood by, ready to go into action. In railway and underground stations, people read notices and maps, which told them where to go and what to do in the emergency. This was Exercise Floodcall to prepare people for a flood emergency. London wasn’t flooded-yet. But it is possible that it could be.
In 1236 and in 1663 London was badly flooded. In 1928 people living in Westminster, the hart of London, drowned in floods. And in 1953, a hundred people living on the eastern edge of the London suburbs were killed-again, in the floods. At last, Greater London Council took action to prevent this disaster from happening again. Though a flood wall was built in the 1980s, Londoners still must be prepared for the possible disaster. If it happens, fifty underground stations will be prepared for the possible disaster. If it happens, fifty underground stations will be underwater. Electricity, gas and phone services will be out of action. Roads will be drowned. It will be impossible to cross any of the bridges between North and South London. Imagine-London will look like the famous Italian city, Venice.
But this Exercise Floodcall didn’t cause panic among Londoners. Most people knew it was just a warning. One lady said, “It’s a flood warning, isn’t it? The water doesn’t look high to me.”

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What happened in London a few months ago?
27. What measure was taken against floods in London in the 1980s?
28. What can we learn from the lady’s comment?

Passage Two
America’s national symbol, the bald eagle, almost went extinct 20 years ago. But it has made a comeback. In fact, the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service is considering the possibility of taking it off the endangered-species list.
Once, more than 50000 pairs of bald eagles nested across the country. But by 1960, that number had fallen below 400.
The chief killer was the widely used DDT. Fish soaked up DDT, died, and were washed up on shores, where bald eagles feasted on them. DDT prevented eagle eggshells from thickening. The shells became so thin that they shattered before the babies hatched.
Fortunately, in 1972, a law was passed to ban DDT, which saved the bald eagle from total wipeout. And since then, wildlife biologists have reintroduced bald eagles from Canada to America. The result was that last year U.S. bridwatchers counted 11610 bald eagles in the country.
If it were dropped from the endangered list, the bald eagle would still be a “threatened species.” That means the bird would continue to get the same protection-no hunting allowed, and no disturbing of nests.
But bald eagles still face tough times. The destruction of their natural homes could be the next DDT causing eagle numbers to drop quickly.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What was the main harmful effect of the pest killer DDT on bald eagles?
30. What measure did the wildlife biologists take to increase the number of bald eagles?
31. According to the speaker, what is the possible danger facing bald eagles?

Passage Three
Why do we cry? Can you imagine life without tears?
Not only do tears keep your eyes lubricated, they also contain a substance that kills certain bacteria so they can’t infect your eyes. Give up your tears and you lose this on-the-spot defence.
Nor would you want to give up the flood of extra tears you produce when you get something physical of chemical in your eyes. Tears are very good at washing this irritating stuffout.
Another thing you couldn’t do without your tears is cry-from joy, anger, or sadness.
Humans are the only animals that produce tears in response to emotions. And most people say a good cry makes them feel better.
Many scientists, therefore, believe that crying somehow helps us cope with emotional situations. Tear researcher William Frey is trying to figure out how it happens.
One possibility, he says, is that tears discharge certain chemicals from your body, chemicals that build up during stress. “When people talk about ‘crying it out,’ I think that might actually be what they are doing,” he says.
If Frey is right, what do you think will happen to people who restrain their tears? Boys, for example, cry only about a quarter as often as girls once they reach their teenage years. And we all cry a lot less now than we did as babies.
Could it possibly be that we face less stress? Maybe we’ve found other ways to deal with it. Or maybe we just feel embarrassed.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What’s the topic discussed in this passage?
33. What is William Frey trying to find out?
34. What does the passage say about teenage boys and girls?
35. What’s the difference between human beings and other animals when shedding tears?

Section C
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.
He was a funny-looking man with a cheerful face, good-natured and a great talker. He was (36)described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as “the best and most just and wisest man.” Yet this same man was (37)condemned to death for his beliefs by a jury composed of the leading figures of the time in Athens.
The man was the Greek philosopher Socrates, and he was put to death for not believing in the recognized gods and for (38)corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his (39)association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the (40)civilized world to study under him.
Socrates’ method of teaching was to ask questions and, by (41)pretending not to know the answers, to (42)press his students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had (43)unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy. Yet for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.
Socrates (44)encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservations in Athens. They wanted him silenced. Yet many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.
Socrates (45)had the right to ask for a less severe penalty, and he probably could have persuaded the jury to change the verdict. But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. (46)So he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.
