Part I Tapescript of Listening Comprehension
Section A
1. W: There is a direct flight at 10 o’clock or a flight at 2 this afternoon that stops over in San Francisco.
   W: I think I’d rather have the earlier one so I can go to work tomorrow.
   Q: What relationship do these people have?
2. W: Robert worked as a secretary for three years. Then he became a newspaperman. After that he started writing novels.
   M: I know. And he has been doing nothing else ever since.
   Q: What is the man’s occupation now?
3. M: What a lot of traffic! We shouldn’t have driven down the main street, not when it’s so crowded.
   W: Well, I told you, dear, didn’t I? I said the roads would be very busy, especially on Saturday.
   Q: Where did the conversation take place?
4. M: Louis, do you want me to try to fix that broken camera of yours?
   W: Thanks, but I already had it taken care of.

Section B Spot Dictation
   To be successful in a job  interview, you should  demonstrate certain personal and professional qualities. You need to create a good image in the limited time  available, usually from 30 to 45 minutes. You must make  a positive impression which the interviewer will remember while he interviews other  candidates. The following are some qualities you should especially pay attention to during an interview. First of all, you should take care to appear to be properly dressed. The right clothes worn at the right time can  win respect of the interviewer and his  confidence in your judgement. It may not be true that clothes make a man. But the first and often last impression of you is determined by the clothes you wear. Secondly,  you should pay close attention to your manner of speaking, since speech is a reflection of personality. You should reflect confidence by speaking in a clear voice, loud enough to be heard, without being aggressive or overpowering. You should be prepared to talk knowledgeably about the requirements of the position you are applying for. Finally, to be really impressive you must convey a sense of selfconfidence and enthusiasm for work. If you display these characteristics, with just a little luck, you’ll certainly succe`ed in the typical personal interview.

Part II Reading Comprehension
11. 细节题。文章第二段的倒数第二句话提到“Schools are businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise.” 可知不是因为管理不善，而是因为性质决定。

12. 语义题。本文第一段和第二段谈到了学校的财政困难的问题以及探讨了其产生的原因。作者在第二段中否认低入学率是造成财政困难的原因，指出即便学校满注册，仍会面临财政困难。不难推断，这里的go under, 指的是陷入困境。

13. 主题题。解此题要明确作者写此篇文章的目的。从文章第三段可知，作者认为使高等教学机构摆脱困境的办法可以通过实现教育机构的私有化，资助学校方式的多样化有助于带来教育形式的多样化。（参见文章第三段的第三句话和倒数第四句话）。选项C带有一定的迷惑性，意思不够明确，教育的多样化并不等同于教育形式的多样化。

14. 是非题。选项A、B、D均与文章的事实矛盾。选项C可根据文章第三段第四句话和第五句话“There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently better than public schools. Examples to the contrary abound.” (并没有根据说私立学校比公立学校好，实际上大量相反的例子存在。)推出。

15. 推断题。本题仍与作者写此篇文章的意图有关。文章第三段的第三句话指出挽救陷于财政困境的学校的办法是保持学校的私立性，而这种努力是一种“national necessity”，可推知，作者希望唤起人们的觉悟和支持，意识到这种做法的必要性。

16. 根据文章第一段的首句“A close analogy to a study design is the rough sketch made by an artist before he commits his vision to canvas.” (一项研究的设计就好比画家将头脑中的意想付诸画布之前所画的草图一样)，便可得出答案。

17. 主旨题。文章第一段介绍了研究设计；第二段说明研究设计的目的就是要看这种研究方法在有关青少年方面的作用；后面三段谈这种研究方法在研究青少年犯罪方面的贡献和优点。答案B概括了主旨。

18. 语义题。第四段第二行中“undertaken during the earliest stage of the project”是“an extensive survey of previous researches on crime”的定语，而其中的crime 具体指的就是青少年犯罪。

19. 单句理解题。根据文章第三段的最后一句话“This study makes an additional contribution by using a design specially planned to permit a comparison of several approaches.” 可得出答案。

20. 推断题。根据文章的最后一段最后一句话指出，实验性研究给方法和发现带来的最主要的贡献之一就是将三种设计研究类型结合在一起，目的是为了将它们的发现彼此联系，并且根据产生的数据对研究者的有用程度大小来评估这些研究类型的相对重要性。由此，可推知答案。

21. 细节题。文章第一段第一句讲述了人们总担心联邦特工窥探我们的私生活，而文章第一段第二句But the private Sector outdoes the government every time 清楚说明私营企业尤其后面谈及的商业领域泄漏私密远超过政府部门，所以D正确。

22. 细节题。第二段的第二句话The legislators lean toward letting business people track our financial habits virtually at will 是D选项等值叙述，legislators 就是立法者，virtually at will 也即give a free hand,意为“任意地”，所以D正确。

23. 细节题。文章第四段第二句及第三句话告诉我们如果30天内客户不在此期限内取消免费试用服务的话，服务商将通过其银行和信用卡自动收取费用。

24. 细节题。文章倒数第二段第一句话You have almost no protection from businesses that use your personal accounts for profit 告诉我们企业利用你的个人账户赚取利润，而受不到任何法律保护，紧接着的举例也充分说明B正确。

25. 推断题。文章最后一段讲述了虽然用户被告知所有私人信息是绝密的，而经营商言行不一致，他们出卖用户信息营利，并宣称只是共享信息资料，由此我们可推测这种做法将继续下去，也即用户个人隐私会继续受到侵犯。

26. 推断题。依据文章的第一段的末句，可知作者根据民意测验得出的结论，选项C是第一段的末句的同义替换。

27. 细节理解题。文章第二段用一系列的“should we not...”和“should we”给出了作者的建议和看法，他认为不能把就业当作惟一的标准，应当鼓励那些自重的人们以其他的方式参与工作。

28. 推断题。依据文章第三段的第一句话和第二句话可知：工业时代是人类历史上惟一一个人们的工作大多以job形式出现的时代；随着工业时代的结束，工业时代带来的人们工作方式上的变化将会得到逆转。由此可推断出，工业革命的到来使得人们的工作方式发生了变化。

29. 段落理解题。文章的第四段指出了17世纪和18世纪的圈地运动带来的后果（参见该段的首句和末句）：圈地运动使人们丧失土地，失去了谋生的手段而不得不离开家去其他地方找工作。

30. 推断题。根据文章的末段第二句话“The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the impractical goal of creating jobs for all...” 中的“impractical”这个词可推出答案。

Model Essay

Positive and Negative Effects of the Internet

   The Internet is a miracle in human society for it introduces new concepts and living styles into our life. The imagined world created by the Internet offers us a window to exchange ideas, explore information and entertain ourselves at our own pace. Our traditional way of communication is undergoing a revolutionary change with new forms of communication like BBS, e-mails and online chatting becoming prevailing. And information is at our finger’s tips the instant we are online, which facilitates the sharing and utilizing of information to the greatest extent. The coming E-commerce boom will turn e-life into a reality. The Internet, though invisible and intangible, has become an indispensable part of our life.
   Meanwhile, negative effects of the Internet have posed a big problem to us. The Internet can be addictive as alcohol and threaten people’s psychological well-being. Like a kaleidoscope, the Internet presents a world of fantasies. If people live in fantasies for too long, they may become anti-social and alienated from the real world. And the Internet can be a breeding ground of crimes. Hackers aim at attacking and paralyzing sites. Vulgar rubbish and erotic sites may corrupt kids- mind.
   In my opinion, the invention of the Internet is a technological breakthrough which has brought incomparable conveniences and changes to human beings. Though inevitably the Internet has given rise to new social problems, it should not be the target of criticism because it is not the fault of the Net but the fault of those who abuse it.

Section B
Passage One
   Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960s, but reached Britain in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are: firstly, that all workers must be present for certain “key” times in the day, and secondly, that all workers must work the agreed total number of hours per week.
 The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to be able to finish a certain task before leaving.
   From the employer’s point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover first. “Flexible time” was mainly confined to white collar workers, but it now being applied to manual workers too.
11. What people firstly used flexible working hours?
12. Which one of the following may be best used to describe the flexible system?
13. What’s one of the main advantages of “Flextime” for workers?

Passage Two
   Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts can prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more motor vehicles, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.
   What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire for a modern way of life. We make increasing industrialization our chief aim. For its sake, we are willing to sacrifice everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, so pollution has become a serious problem.
   Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It reminds one of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker: “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we are lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when applied to our modern society.
14. Why can’t man prevent the world from being polluted?
15. According to the passage, what does man value among the following?
16. What does the story about the pilot indicate?

Passage Three
   As a result of rising university costs, many students are finding it necessary to take on part-time jobs. To make finding those jobs easier, the placement service has put together a listing of what is available locally. For some students, these part-time jobs could lead to the full-time work after graduation, as they may offer experience in their own field, be that finance, marketing or even management. For example, national savings bank offers work on a half time basis. That’s 20 hours per week. Retail stores and restaurants have positions requiring fewer hours. Even less time is expected of those providing child care. We have a number of families registered with us who are looking for baby-sitters for as few as four hours a week. For students who prefer outdoor work, there’re seasonal positions right on campus, working with the gardening and landscaping teams. These often require the most time and they are the least flexible in terms of scheduling. To see a complete list of these and other available jobs, including the salary offered and the hours required, stop by our office and be sure to bring a resume with you. When you find something that interests you, we’ll put you in touch with the person offering it. In addition, our counselors will give you hints about a successful interviewing.
17. What’s the purpose of the talk?
18. What should students bring with them to the office?
19. What will the counselors at the office help students do?
20. What do the jobs have in common?

Part II Reading Comprehension
21. 结论题。本题问Lauderslager的实验结果，解本题要找出Lauderslager的实验结果或发现。依据文章的第一段的倒数第二句话，由“Lauderslager found”引出的后面的话即为Lauderslager的实验结果或发现。

22. 推断题。依据文章第二段的第三行“But if the animal (指的是rats)are confronted with situations they have no control over, they later behave passively when faced with experiences they can control.”可推出答案，选项C是该句话的同义替换。

23. 细节理解题。根据文章的第三段的第五行“Associating the saccharin with stomach pains, the mice quickly learned to avoid the sweetener.” 可知由于老鼠将胃疼和甜味剂联系在一起，所以它们才回避糖精。

24. 推断题。依据文章的第三段的末句Lauderslager对老鼠死亡的推测“... he had so successfully conditioned the rats that saccharin alone now serves to weaken their immune systems enough to kill them.” （他成功地利用了糖精和药物使老鼠产生了条件反射，使得老鼠的心理产生变化，只用糖精就会削弱它们的免疫系统使其致死）可推知答案。

25. 结论题。本题仍是上题的延续。通过条件反射会削弱老鼠的免疫系统。

26 主旨题。文章第一段讲了北美殖民地城市的发展和欧洲的不同；第二段和第三段分别阐述了北美大西洋沿岸城市的发展和南方种植园的发展。选项B概括了文章的主要内容。

27. 主旨题。依据文章第一段的首句可知：欧洲的城市发展与北美的不同之处在于前者的城市发展缓慢而后者的城市发展迅猛，由此可知两者比较的基准是发展的速度。

28. 单句理解题。根据文章的第二段的第三行给出了原因“Because these areas were nearest England and France....” 由此可推断出选项C为正确答案。

29. 段落理解题。文章的第三段探讨了南方种植园的各方面的内容：种植园的地理位置的特点（通常靠近水路，便于运送货物）；种植园的经济是自给自足；但并没有谈到种植园居民和城市居民的关系。故答案为C。

30. 细节理解题。文章的第二段的末句指出，大西洋沿岸的城市是加工用于出口的原材料的理想的地点“Here, too, were the favored locations for processing raw materials prior to export.”

31. 推断题。依据文章的第一段的第二句话“The act...and the policies...pete with economic interests.”可推知对濒危动物的保护是一个很有争议的问题是因为影响了某些利益集团的利益。

32.  推断题。根据文章的第二段的第二句话“...with populations growing so rapidly that using the land is a means to temporarily avoid worsening poverty and starvation.” （利用土地，开发雨林是发展中国家暂时避免贫穷和饥饿的途径）。我们可推知，若阻止发展中国家开发热带雨林，就会妨碍发展中国家与贫穷做斗争。

33.  细节理解题。本题同样依据第二段的第二句话“...with populations growing so rapidly that using the land is a means to temporarily avoid worsening poverty and starvation.”注意“temporarily”一词，它表明砍伐树木种植庄稼只能是一个暂时的缓解粮食问题的办法。

34.  指代题。依据文章的第三段的首句“Many of the changes that concern scientists have the potential to rob the planets of its biological richness.” 这句话指出了科学家忧虑的问题，选项C)“the reduction of biological diversity”是对于“rob the planets of its biological richness”的同义替换。

35.  主旨题。从文章的末段的结尾一句话“But solutions to humanity’s current problems will come only through coordinated international efforts to control...”可得出答案，选项D)“through the cooperation of nations”是“through coordinated international efforts”的同义替换。

36.  细节题。文章第一段第三句话讲恐怖分子把美国移民体制的弱点纳入到他们的计划中去，而恰好文章第一段最后一句话正好具体讲述了移民归化局的弱点，即低效率，所以D正确。

37. 细节题。文章第二段第二句9·11事件后，美国法案要求FBI、司法部、移民归化局等共享更多信息资料以把列为恐怖分子者阻断在边境，B选项正合此意。

38. 推断题。从文章第一段第二句话我们知道外籍持假证件偷渡入境者及合法入境者经常超期滞留美国而得不到任何处罚，我们可推知，这些外国人在9·11事件发生前，想呆多久就呆多久，所以C正确。

39. 细节题。从文章最后一段最后两句话我们可以知道移民归化局这些年来太注重服务于游客和移民，而没有更多关注上百万美国人的人身安全维系于其工作，C选项正合此意。

40. 细节题。文章第四段第二句冒号后清楚说明两大原因，其中之一是美国大学，第二是美国企业需外国廉价劳动力，所以A正确。

The Changes in China’s Foreign Trade

   Spurred by the fast growing economy, China has witnessed booming trade in the decade. As shown in the chart, before 1978, the foreign trade increased but slowly. China then followed a policy of “self-reliance” and mainly traded raw materials and traditional goods for industrial equipment. After 1978, the rapid economic growth demanded importation of high-technology, which in turn boosted its development. China is now capable of providing the world market with a variety of high quality products. Foreign trade, being of increasing importance, has been spiraling upward.
   It is the “open door” policy that has brought about the necessity. Especially after 1986, China made quite a few big decisions, which included opening up many cities to overseas investors, encouraging private business and promoting cultural exchange and cooperation. As a result, joint ventures and private companies mushroomed everywhere in China. Foreign investment and advanced technology flowed in. China has made staggering progress in the productivity now higher than ever before. The Chinese people are confident that a more open China has a bright future.
   This year China has decided to open her doors wider than ever to the world. Only continuing increase is expected in foreign trade.
