Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)
Ruth Lawrence, aged ten, made history yesterday when she came a clear first out of the 530 candidates who took the entrance exam for St. Hugh's College, Oxford. The all woman's college is likely to offer her a scholarship. Ruth sat three in three-hour papers—Algebra and Geometry; Calculus, Probability and Statistics; and Maths, Pure and Applied. "I was happy with the first two," she said yesterday, "but I wasn't sure about the third."
Ruth who lives in Huddersfield, has never been to school. Her father, Harry Lawrence, a computer consultant, gave up his job when Ruth was five to educate her at home. Her mother, Sylvia, who also works in computers, is the family breadwinner.
Harry Lawrence explained that, besides mathematics, Ruth also enjoyed English, History, Geography, and other subjects. She began to read four and started academic subjects at five. "We did not start off with the thought that she would not go to school," he said, "but we enjoyed at teaching her so much and we seemed to be making quite a good job of it, so we just carried on."
Because she does not go to school, Ruth has not mixed much with other children. "She enjoys serious conversation with adults," her father said, "and I don't think she will feel out of place at Oxford." He does not think she works harder than other children of her age, but he concentrates on what she enjoys, principally mathematics. "She watches television a little but not as a habit," he explained, "but she plays the piano and has quite a wide range of interests."
If she does well at St. Hugh's, Ruth expects to take a further degree and eventually hopes to become a research professor in mathematics-an ambition she may achieve while still in her teens. The Lawrence family plans to move to Oxford when Ruth enters the college in October 1991.@Before then, she plans to take four A levels to satisfy the college matriculation requirements.
Miss Rachel Trickett, the principal of St. Hugh's, said last night. "We are all very excited about Ruth. She is obviously quite brilliant and has shown genuine originality." Ruth's future tutor, Dr. Glenys Luke, admits that taking so young a student is challenging but says it is one she expects to enjoy. "I shall tailor the teaching to her requirements" she said. Ruth shouldn't have to suffer the same tensions and disappointments that older students faced. I hope I shall make it fun for her."
Last night the Lawrence family were pleased at Ruth's achievement. "We all jumped up and down a bit when we heard the good hens", said Harry Lawrence. When Ruth becomes a student, Harry Lawrence looks forward to concentrating his efforts on Ruth's younger sister Rebecca, who is now seven. "She is doing very well," he said, "but it's too early to tell whether she is a mathematician."

C．It is perfectly acceptable in its original context.

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文：Martin: Don't you think it would have been very nice to have lived in the nineteenth century？
Ruth: It depends on who you were.
Martin: Whoever you were, I think the crucial thing about the past is they didn't have this terrific stress and pace that we have.
Ruth: Yes, I know, but what did they do with that leisurely pace？ All most people had to think about-was where the next meal was coming from.
Martin: What are people then thinking of when they say "the good old days"？
Ruth: They are talking about a loss of innocence, I think.
Martin: But don't you think one always manages to forget the unpleasant things7 I mean, things like the weather, ff you read books, novels about the past, they always talk about the long sunny summer afternoons. The weather always seems much worse than in the good old days.
Ruth: Yes, but the infant mortality rate in the good days was very high...
