[00:01.90]Section A
[00:03.09]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
[00:06.57]11.W: How is the food at the new French restaurant?
[00:10.70]M:I haven't eaten there yet.
[00:12.33]I went all the way down there last night only to
[00:14.71]find it's not open on Tuesdays.
[00:17.21]So I tried the Italian place next door. It was very good.
[00:21.20]Q:What did the man say about the French restaurant?
[00:39.56]12.W: Would you like to read another one of my poems?
[00:43.37]M: If I see another one of your poems tonight, I'll scream.
[00:47.06]Q: When does he want to see more of her poetry?
[01:05.43]13.W:I'd rather he told you he went to see a doctor.
[01:09.63]What is his hurry?
[01:11.12]M: Well, instead of recommending a treatment of
[01:13.39]special medicine for his condition, all he prescribed was rest,
[01:16.85]anyway, I'm relieved to hear that no operation is necessary.
[01:21.02]Q: What does the doctor recommend?
[01:38.59]14.W:Well, it seems that Frank Pierre has
[01:41.49]become quite a famous painter.
[01:43.76]M:Has he? You know I'm a professional artist myself and
[01:47.02]I question how much talent Pierre really has.
[01:50.68]Q:What conclusion can be drawn1 from the man's comments?
[02:09.73]15.M:How far is the shopping centre from here?
[02:13.21]It's not indicated on the map.
[02:15.64]W: Why don't you ask someone where it is?
[02:17.98]Q: What does the woman mean?
[02:34.93]16.M:My old car is worn out, and I should buy a new one,
[02:39.25]but I spent too much on my trip last summer.
[02:42.18]W: It pays to plan ahead. New cars are expensive.
[02:45.77]Q: Will the man buy a new car?
[03:03.26]17.W:Do you think that the possibility of cold weather
[03:06.89]and snow will affect the results of the game?
[03:09.68]M:Well, the players are accustomed to playing in bad weather,
[03:12.50]so it shouldn't make any difference to them.
[03:15.18]Q:How do the man's feelings compare with those of the women?
[03:33.73]18.M:I am worried about sending my son to college.
[03:37.32]Most college students are so wild nowadays.
[03:41.01]W:Only a few. Most students are
[03:43.13]too busy studying to get into trouble.
[03:45.81]Q:How does the woman react the man's remarks?
[04:04.13]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
[04:07.57]Conversation One
[04:09.20]M: This semester will be over soon,
[04:11.20]how do we plan our activities in the summer vacation, Jenny?
[04:14.82]W: What about traveling to the West of America, Tom?
[04:17.65]M: That's a good idea!
[04:18.99]What places of interest are we going to visit?
[04:21.40]W: We may go to San Francisco to visit the Golden Gate Bridge
[04:24.66]and then to Los Angeles to visit Disneyland and Hollywood.
[04:27.98]M: If we travel by driving, we must rent a car.
[04:31.10]That will be expensive.
[04:32.62]What is more, if the two of us alone drive continuously
[04:35.74]for many days, it will make us exhausted2.
[04:39.21]How can we go sightseeing?
[04:41.32]W: For convenience, we had better travel by train.
[04:44.43]M: I agree with you. What preparations should we make for the trip?
[04:48.63]W: We should first get the tickets,
[04:50.19]otherwise we'll be late for school registration3.
[04:52.98]M: Well, there's an excellent
[04:54.31]public transportation system there, you know.
[04:57.03]I don't think we have to worry about that.
[04:59.46]W: Public transport?! You mean buses and subway?
[05:02.25]M: Of course.
[05:03.54]W: Oh, come on! We're going to be on holiday.
[05:06.58]We don't need to waste time on buses and subway.
[05:09.62]We can travel by taxi.
[05:11.22]M: Taxi? Oh, no. I'd really rather travel by bus or subway.
[05:15.89]As you said, we'll be on holiday so we won't be in a hurry.
[05:19.68]Besides, if we use the public transport,
[05:21.93]we'll be able to meet local people,
[05:23.82]get of better ideal of their daily life and so on.
[05:27.11]That's what travel really means, you know.
[05:29.54]Besides, taxis are so expensive.
[05:33.27]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[05:38.45]19. Where are they going to travel?
[05:55.55]20. How would they travel?
[06:12.11]21. Which is the reason the woman would not take bus or subway?
[06:31.02]Conversation Two
[06:32.62]W：Good morning，sir．Can I help you？
[06:34.50]M：Good morning!
[06:35.59]I have a reservation for a single room with a bath here．

[06:57.02]W：Sure．Here you are．
[06:59.11]M：What should I fill in under ROOM NUMBER？
[07:02.19]W：You can just skip that．
[07:03.53]I'll put in the room number for you later on．
[07:06.25]M：（After he has completed the form） Here you are．
[07:09.73]I think I've filled in everything correctly．
[07:12.33]W：Let me see…name，address，nationality，forwarding address，

[07:20.92]Oh，here，sir．Your forgot to put in the date of your departure．

[07:27.23]M：October 24．
[07:28.97]W：Now everything's in order．
[07:30.60]And here is your key，Mr．Bradley．
[07:32.45]Your room number is 1420．
[07:35.27]It is on the14th floor and the daily rate is＄90．
[07:39.58]Here is your key card with all the information on your booking，
[07:42.67]the hotel services and the hotel rules and regulations on it．
[07:46.54]Please make sure that you have it with you all the time．
[07:49.08]M：OK．I'll take good care of it．
[07:52.30]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[07:57.05]22. What kind of hotel room has the man booked?
[08:15.30]23. What should he fill under room number?
[08:33.16]24. Which information is not in the form the man has filled?
[08:52.29]25. Which statement is not true according to the conversation?
[09:12.16]Section B
[09:14.05]Passage One
[09:15.45]A mild earthquake shook the northwestern coast of the United States
[09:18.49]Thursday, the earthquake observatory4 in San Francisco reported today.
[09:23.38]There are no immediate5 reports of injuries or damages.
[09:26.39]The observatory said the earthquake
[09:28.02]was felt over a range of about ten miles,
[09:30.36]along the United States coastline and probably originated about
[09:33.95]one hundred miles out in the Pacific Ocean east of the island of Nimi.
[09:38.96]The observatory also reported that more earthquakes can
[09:42.00]be expected to occur in the San Francisco area
[09:44.52]in the next several months,
[09:45.93]although the intensity6 of the quakes cannot be predicted.
[09:49.52]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[09:54.38]26.Where did the earthquake originate according to the bulletin?
[10:13.26]27. Which of the following is true of the earthquake
[10:16.81]described in the bulletin?
[10:32.79]28. According to the bulletin what can be expected with regard to
[10:37.35]future earthquakes in the San Francisco area?
[10:54.35]Passage Two
[10:56.30]During the summer you should be even more careful
[10:59.06]than usual of the foods you prepare.
[11:01.62]Foods spoil faster in hot weather than in cold weather.
[11:04.92]When you are shopping,purchase frozen and refrigerated foods last.
[11:09.04]Don't make long stops on the way home,
[11:11.24]because frozen foods could become soft or warm.
[11:14.50]Using insulated bags helps deep food cold until you can get home.
[11:19.65]Milk and milk products should be refrigerated immediately.
[11:23.12]When camping or picnicking,
[11:24.90]or at any time when refrigeration isn't available,
[11:27.91]use special dry foods.
[11:29.92]Don't leave foods in a hot car or beach bag.
[11:32.82]Picnic favorites like meat, chicken,
[11:34.98]and egg salad should be kept in a cooler.
[11:38.03]Above all, if a food doesn't seem to be normal in order or appearance,
[11:42.31]discard it immediately. Don't taste it.
[11:46.19]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[11:51.26]29. What is the main topic of the talk?
[12:08.72]30. Which of the following foods would be
[12:11.42]least likely to spoil in warm weather?
[12:28.59]31. According to the talk, what should you do with food
[12:32.36]that doesn't seem to be normal?
[12:48.18]Passage Three
[12:49.92]In the 19th century, it was common to hear people in Europe
[12:53.26]and America say that the resources of the sea were unlimited7.
[12:57.55]For example, a noted8 biologist writing in the mid9 1800s
[13:01.54]commented that all of the great sea fisheries are inexhaustible.
[13:06.22]Today there's evidence that the resources of the sea are
[13:09.32]as seriously threatened as those of the land and the air and
[13:12.69]concern of conservationists now includes herring and
[13:16.13]cod as well as the African elephant,
[13:18.81]the Indian tiger and the American eagle.
[13:21.92]Further, the threat to fish is more alarming in some ways than
[13:25.37]the threat to birds and land animals
[13:27.53]because fish is a much needed food resource.
[13:30.99]Many people throughout the world depend on fish
[13:33.15]as an important part of their diets and a decline in the fish supply
[13:36.47]could have extensive effects on hunger and population.
[13:40.31]Fishermen in the N. Atlantic alone annually10 harvest
[13:43.54]20 billion pounds of fish to satisfy food demands.
[13:47.20]But it is important to recognize that these practices cannot
[13:50.42]continue without depleting11 fish resources within the next few years.
[13:55.46]Sea resources are rapidly declining in many parts of the world
[13:59.34]and the problem cannot be ignored.
[14:01.51]It is only with care and planning in this generation that
[14:04.45]the food supplies of the sea can continue for future generations.
[14:09.16]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[14:14.08]32.According to the speaker what was the attitude
[14:17.85]in the 19th century toward resources of the sea?
[14:35.68]33.What does the speaker emphasize as a reason
[14:38.98]for maintaining sea resources?
[14:55.70]34.How widely spread would a decline in the fish supply be?
[15:14.36]35.The author mentions the African elephant, the Indian tiger
[15:18.67]and the American eagle as an example of which of the following?
[15:37.99]Section C
[15:40.12]Feather cloaks are the most spectacular of all objects of
[15:43.38]native Hawaiian manufacture.
[15:45.67]In the highly stratified society of the islands before
[15:48.82]their discovery by Captain James Cook in 1788,
[15:53.39]the cloaks were never very numerous,
[15:55.96]but powerful chiefs often acquired several
[15:59.22]through inheritance or as battle prizes.
[16:01.94]Although the feathers were gathered by the common people
[16:04.26]to defray part of their taxes, and women were permitted to clean
[16:07.85]and sort them, only men of high rank, surrounded by sacred taboos12,
[16:11.90]were allowed to make the cloaks.
[16:13.97]The manufacturing process involved tying small bunches of red,
[16:17.63]yellow, green, or black feathers with olona fiber13.
[16:21.62]Large cloaks like the royal robe worn by Kamehameha Ⅰ,
[16:25.97]the first king of all the islands, required some half million feathers.
[16:30.68]Today these cloaks are ethnological treasures,
[16:34.12]but to the early ship captain they were little more than
[16:36.76]seemingly plentiful14 curiosities that the Hawaiians highly valued
[16:41.28]but gave away or traded for such trifles as iron knives.
[16:45.25]In turn, the Europeans traded these curiosities.
[16:49.41]This practice began with Cook's officers,
[16:52.13]who traded the cloak now in Leningrad in exchange for provisions.
[16:57.05]In 1825, Lord Byron, commander of the British ship Blonde, predicted
[17:02.67]that “the splendid war cloak”would soon
[17:05.34]be more easily found in Europe than in Hawaii.
[17:09.22]Brigham found only five in Hawaii when he made
[17:11.96]his feather work survey in 1899.
[17:15.30]Today twenty of the fifty known cloaks are still in the British Isles15.
[17:22.44]Feather cloaks are the most spectacular of all objects of
[17:25.33]native Hawaiian manufacture.
