At eleven o' clock Bill took Sam into town. Sam walked along behind Bill, looking at the windows of all the shops they passed. After lunch they went to the park and walked about. The whole place was very crowded. Bill stopped to buy some chocolate. When he turned round to give some to Sam, the boy wasn't there. Bill ran round calling Sam, but he couldn't find him. About an hour later, just in front of a shop, he saw the black hair, the pair of jeans and the bright yellow shirt. The boy looked as if he was waiting for someone to come out of the shop. Bill ran across the road, took the boy by the hand and hurried off, as it was quite late. The boy. began to cry and pull hard, but Bill, who didn’t know much about children, couldn’t under- stand a word the boy was saying. All the boy made a lot of noise.
When they got home at last, Bill went straight to the kitchen, with the boy still crying. At the door Bill stopped in amazement. There, sitting at the kitchen table with Kate, was a small boy with black hair, in a pair of jeans and a bright yellow shirt.

Directions: Translate the following paragraph into Chinese. Your inner voice is there to help guide you along the path called life. How many times has your inner voice told you to do something and then you, in turn, choose to ignore its promptings, only to find out it was a big mistake? I’ll bet, at that moment, you say to yourself, “I should have listened to myself”. Sometimes the promptings of our inner voice are subtle, reminding us to pay a bill or call a friend. Other times our inner voice can be more insistent, reminding us over and over of some unfinished business for perhaps days, weeks or even years. If your inner voice lasts more than a week, i.e., you find the same thoughts and feelings coming back to you over and over again, then you know that this is your inner voice looking for expression. Trust the information you are receiving, and use it to guide you into action.
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.
听力原文: Bill Gates, the head of the world's biggest computer software company, has a mission: "to put computers on every office desk and in every home." Bill Gates has had this mission since he was a university student years ago. [26] This deep personal interest, together with his technical skill and his business marketing, skills, helped him to create a giant computer company and to make him wealthy.
Although he is so wealthy, Bill Gates does not want to give up. He is still very interested in his vision and he travels the globe, from Beijing to London, making quick stops in cities to sell the new software products of his company.
The central vision of Bill Gates is the "information highway". [27] This is a network of computers that will link every home, office and shopping mall in the future. This computer network system will have an effect on business, shopping and education. Bill Gates says that the main use of this new technology will be in communication. It will be a way to find people with common interests and to share opinions with them.
But is this communication by computer along the "information highway" really a good thing? Won't we be sitting at home, only "socializing" with our computer? No, says Bill Gates. In fact, the computer network will let us choose our own intellectual direction. It will give us freedom. [28] It will also bring good to society, because it will allow for the spread of education. When more and more people receive education, the gap between rich and poor will be narrowed.
