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: After shopping for most of the day, a couple return to find their car has been stolen. They are shocked and very upset because they just bought it a month ago. They go to the police station to make a full report. Then, a police officer drives them back to the parking lot to see if any evidence can be found at the scene of the crime. To their surprise, the ear has been returned.
There is an envelope stuck on the car with a note of apology and two tickets to a concert. The note reads," I apologize for taking your car, but my wife was having a baby and I had to use your car to rush her to the hospital. Please forgive the inconvenience. Here are two tickets for tonight's concert."
The couple feel relieved. After all, most human beings are kind, they think. They even feel glad that their car was used in such a way. It might perhaps have saved two lives, the mother's and the baby's. They go to the concert, enjoy the music to their hearts' content, and return home late. To their astonishment, they find their house has been robbed. Valuable goods have been taken. The downstairs living room is in a mess. Even the kitchen is not spared. And, there is a note on the door reading, "Well, you still have your car. I have to put my newly-born kid through college somehow, don't I?"
(27)
A.Because they want to find the car there.
B.Because they want to find evidence.
C.Because they want to catch the thief there.
D.Because they want to know ff any other ears are stolen.
Betty: Yes, I speak Spanish and French.
Baker: And what helped you most in learning those languages?
Betty: What helped me most.... Well, I studied both languages in high school, and I'm still studying Spanish here at the university, but I think that travel has probably been the most help to me. You see, I've been lucky in that I've lived in Europe. Believe me, I didn't speak very well before I moved there.
Bill: You're fight, Betty. After studying a language, practice is very useful. When you live in a country where the language is spoken, it's ideal. But, you know, sometimes it's difficult to make friends in a new place, even when the people axe very friendly.
Betty: Yes, I know what you mean. Especially if you don't speak my language too well. I had some problems when I first moved to Europe.
Baker: And, of course, some people are shy.
Betty: That's true.
Bill: Professor Baker, whether or not I'm living in a country where the language is spoken, I always go to movies, and whenever I can, I watch TV or listen to the radio in the language I'm trying to learn.
Betty: Me too. And reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I think that newspapers and magazines are even better.
Baker: Probably the best way to learn is to combine all of these ideas: traveling, talking with people, going to movies, watching TV, listening to the radio, and reading books, newspapers and magazines. What do you think?
Betty: I agree with that, Professor Baker.
Bill: So do I. But I don't believe that it's possible to take advantage of practice opportunities without some knowledge of the language first.
Betty: Sure. First it's a good idea to study grammar, vocabulary.
Bill:... and listening, perhaps even reading.
Betty: Then practice is very, very helpful.
What do the speakers mainly discuss?
A.Making friends in a foreign country.
B.Spanish and French.
C.Foreign TV, radio and other media.
D.Learning a foreign language.
Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
Somewhere on the South Coast
England
Dear Mum and Dad,
It was a great idea to send me over to Britain to learn English this summer! I've met so many students from Sweden, France and all over the world. And there are lots of students from Germany here too. It's just like being at home. What a relief to find normal people, even in England, and to speak in a normal language most of the time.
Of course, we do have English lessons in the day, and I have to talk to the family I stay with here. Do you know, some of my friends have said they won't go out with us in the evening any more—they want to speak English and find English friends. I think they're mad. The family I live with are very nice. But they have some strange habits. They drink tea all day: at breakfast, in the afternoon and at bedtime. And they eat butter with salt in it! If I go out in the evening, I often eat fish and chips. The food is wrapped up in a news paper; at least reading the paper takes your mind off the fish and chips! Here at the coast, we travel by bus. The buses are always late. I was knocked down by an old lady the other day because I didn't stand in the queue. English people seem very quiet and reserved, so I was very surprised to see how violent they become about queues. Also, if you ask them directions, they suddenly become very chatty and go on for hours.
I'd like to come back here next year to see all my friends again—oh yes, and to learn some more English...
Your loving son,
Hans

Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
When I was in 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble in reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me, and then after each paragraph, she told me the general meaning of what we just read.
In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class staring at the page, pretending I was reading it. I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get into trouble for not being able to understand. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University?
By eighth grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at a very slow speed. In eighth grade, I got hold of all the speed-reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed-reading. Then I developed my own way which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.
I found that when you read slowly, word-by-word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the general picture.
The main difficulty the writer had in reading in her 7th grade was that ______.
A.she often forgot her school reading assignments
B.she had difficulty reading with comprehension
C.she had a poor vocabulary and very bad grammar
D.she always looked elsewhere when asked to read

Why does a commuter(持火车月票的乘客) always look as if he has just been through a war? Here is a story of a commuter.
Mr. Green gets up very early every day and eats a quick breakfast. Then he makes his wife drive him to the station. He arrives on time, but his train doesn't. When it finally comes, he squeezes on and finds there are no more seats. He has to stand with his bag between his knees. There is simply no room to put it down. Suddenly a cold wind hits him in the face. The window is broken! He remembers this summer. At that lime the same window didn't even open.
The conductor makes his way through the crowd and asks for the commuter's ticket. The ticket, of course, is buried deep in the poor man's breast pocket. He digs for it. The conductor waits impatiently.
Finally the train reaches the city. Mr. Green is already worn out. He says to himself, "My God, I feel as if I've been through a war!"
If Mr. Green had got up several minutes later, he ______.
A.would have missed the train
B.might still have been able to catch the train
C.wouldn't be sad
D.would have been away from a war
