[00:00.00]Part B You will hear a report on China National Entrance Examination.
[00:08.44]Answer questions 6--10 while you listen.
[00:14.45]Use not more than 5 words for each answer.
[00:20.32]You will hear the recording1 twice.
[00:25.31]You now have 25 seconds to read the questions.
[00:31.40]6.When will the second college entrance examination be held? ( )
[00:37.88]7.How many students normally sit for the annual entrance examination in July?()
[00:44.38]8.How many students will be enrolled2 from the second entrance examination?( )
[00:50.89]9.Where will the first plot examination be held?( )
[00:57.29]10.Who will be responsible for laying the examination paper?( )
[01:05.18]For students who failed the National Entrance Examination in July,
[01:13.17]here is good news.
[01:17.17]An unprecedented3 second college entrance examination
[01:23.85]to be held next spring is under way,
[01:28.95]offering one more opportunity to make up for earlier failure.
[01:35.63]Usually,China holds her annual college entrance Examination in July.
[01:44.02]Because universities and colleges can admit only about 900 thousand students
[01:52.69]from about 3 million eager candidates,
[01:57.89]the competition is extremely hard and many talented young people
[02:05.18]are deprived of the opportunity for higher education.
[02:11.27]For many high school graduates,
[02:16.46]higher education has been considered as a necessary and important stage,
[02:24.14]which will pave the way for a promising4 career future.
[02:30.13]Parents are willing to pay any price for their only one child's higher education.
[02:39.03]The pilot examination will be given in Shanghai and Tianjin,
[02:46.64]according to an official in charge of college enrolment
[02:52.43]from the Ministry5 of Education.
[02:57.14]The second round of examination
[03:01.73]is waiting for approval from the Ministry of Education
[03:07.32]and the Beijing municipal government,says GengXuechao,
[03:13.72]President of the Beijing Education Examination Academy.
[03:20.23]Some 10 to 15 universities and colleges in Beijing
[03:27.73]intend to hold the second college entrance examination early next year.
[03:35.33]These institutes of higher learning are expected to offer admission
[03:42.82]to between 6,000 and 10,000 students from Beijing and other regions.
[03:51.52]If approved,the second college entrance examination in Beijing
[03:58.84]will apply to colleges and universities affiliated6 with ministries7
[04:05.92]and other major colleges in Beijing.
[04:11.69]Which universities and colleges are to be involved has not yet been decided8.
[04:20.28]Students who pass the second examination
[04:26.08]can choose from majors in the less popular disciplines
[04:31.57]where student numbers are currently lacking.
[04:37.19]The National Education Examination Authority
[04:43.17]will decide the content of the examination,
[04:48.29]which will be held before Spring Festival in early February.
[04:54.97]Those students selected will start classes in March, 2000.
[05:03.07]Questions 6-10 according to Part B

[10:08.89]Questions 6-10 according to Part B
[10:13.49]6.When will the second college entrance examination be held? ( )
[10:18.66]7.How many students normally sit for the annual entrance examination in July?()
[10:25.35]8.How many students will be enrolled from the second entrance examination?( )
[10:32.74]9.Where will the first plot examination be held?( )
[10:38.96]10.Who will be responsible for laying the examination paper?( )
[10:44.05]That is the end of Part B.
[10:49.53]Part C You will hear three dialogues or monologues9.
[10:59.30]Before listening to each one,
[11:03.59]you will have time to read the questions related to it.
[11:09.39]While listening, answer each question by choosing A,B,C or D.
[11:19.50]After listening,you will have time to check your answer.
[11:25.79]You will hear each piece once only.
[11:31.80](1) Questions 11--13 are based on the following conversation
[11:39.69]on transportation in 21st century.
[11:45.38]You now have 15 seconds to read questions 11--13.
[11:53.38]11.According to the man,why do people have to pass laws on car use?
[11:59.86]12.Why does the man think there will be fewer plane flights?
[12:06.44]13.What does the woman think about traveling by train under the oceans.
[12:13.05]M:Talking about the 21st Century as far as transportation is concerned,
[12:20.44]I think there're going to be huge changes in the way people use cars.
[12:27.05]They'll probably have made laws about
[12:31.83]what kind of car you can own and when you can use it.
[12:37.53]W:And I bet it'll be impossible for people to use cars whenever they like
[12:44.81]There'11 be just too many of them on the roads.
[12:49.72]The air will be so seriously polluted
[12:54.50]that nobody will be able to breathe normally. M:Exactly.
[13:00.49]People will have to rely on other modes of transportation especially trains.
[13:07.88]W:Why do you say that?
[13:11.35]M:Well,we won't be able to use cars,and airports take too much space.
[13:18.96]With the supply of land for airports shrinking around the world,
[13:25.17]there are going to be fewer airports and fewer plane flights.
[13:30.87]That leaves trains.
[13:34.86]W:Huh.So do you think there will be more efficient train systems between cities?
[13:42.36]M:Sure.Trains are relatively10 safer and cleaner;
[13:48.87]and they can enable people to take inter-city travel in a matter of hours.
[13:55.97]There may even be trains going under the oceans to connect the major continents.
[14:03.57]W:Under the oceans?Get out of here!
[14:09.06]I get nervous enough flying on a plane.
[14:16.45]You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to questions 11--13.
[14:26.14]Questions 11-13 according to Part C (1).
[14:30.14]11.According to the man,why do people have to pass laws on car use?
[14:34.14]A.There are too many different kinds of cars on the road.
[14:38.13]B.They have to control the number of traffic on the roads.
[14:42.13]C.Cars may not be a necessary means of transportation.
[14:46.23]D.Some cars may be too fast and too dangerous for people.
[14:50.23]12.Why does the man think there will be fewer plane flights?
[14:54.30]A.The land for airports will be used for other purposes.
[14:58.38]B.There are too many people traveling by car.
[15:02.37]C.Many people have a fear for air travel.
[15:06.16]D.There will be faster ways of traveling by air.
[15:09.95]13.What does the woman think about traveling by train under the oceans.
[15:13.74]A.frightening B.exciting C.unimaginable D.inefficient11
[15:17.63](2) Questions 14--16 are based on the following talk
[15:24.53]about computer science education in Switzerland.
[15:30.64]You now have 15 seconds to read questions 14--16.
[15:38.84]14.How long does a master's degree take in Switzerland?
[15:44.54]15.Who has to choose from a booklet of fifty courses for study?
[15:50.33]16.Why does the speaker think the computer science education
[15:55.82]in Switzerland is particularly good?
[16:01.20]Here in Switzerl and you get a bachelor's degree in two years
[16:08.31]and three years later a master's.
[16:12.70]Usually,people stop at a master's,
[16:17.68]but if you want to go on for a Ph.D.,
[16:22.57]that takes another four years.
[16:27.14]Most people stay in one subject,
[16:31.92]so you need to decide the direction you want to take after high school.
[16:38.32]There are required core courses for bachelor's and master's programs.
[16:45.82]My university is a technical university,
[16:51.20]so the core courses are the same for everybody
[16:56.61]--computer science,mathematics,physics,mechanics and so on.
[17:04.39]For students specializing in computer science,
[17:10.09]there is another set of required courses that we call basic computer science.
[17:17.48]Completing these takes two years.
[17:22.47]At that point,you can choose a specialty12 in one of the four areas--system software,
[17:31.09]information technology,hardware or theoretical computer science.
[17:38.98]For students doing Ph.D.,
[17:43.58]the program is mostly fixed13 in the first four semesters.
[17:49.77]During the next two years,
[17:53.95]you can choose up to 90 percent of what you want to study.
[17:59.64]There's a booklet of about 50 courses from which to choose.
[18:06.12]I think computer science education in Switzerland
[18:11.92]is particularly good in that it is quite wide-ranging,
[18:18.14]from theoretical computer science
[18:22.73]and mathematical computer science to databases and computer systems.
[18:29.92]It's possible that there's more emphasis in the U.S.
[18:36.32]on applied14 Information Technology because in America,
[18:42.61]there are more grants available for basic research at the Ph.D. level
[18:49.30]from the companies or the U.S.government.
[18:54.71]This is not the case here.
[18:58.49]We normally get our money from the state,
[19:03.41]and we are restricted to applied research.
