[00:06.30]Listen carefully to the conversations and short passages

[00:11.76]and choose the best answer to each of the questions.

[00:16.72]1.M:Could you please tell me what room Robert Davis is in?

[00:22.78]W:Yes,he's in the intensive care unit on the fourth floor.

[00:29.13]I suggest that you check with the nurse's station before going in,though.

[00:34.46]Q:Where did this conversation most probably take place?

[00:42.03]2.M:Why do you look so worried?

[00:46.29]Only one person finished ahead of you last time.

[00:50.05]W:Well,this time I want to make sure I come in first.

[00:54.99]Q:Why is the woman worried? 

[00:59.45]3.M:I went to New York yesterday,but I forgot to call Barry.

[01:10.01]W: Barry wouldn't have been there anyway.

[01:13.74]He's an economist in California now.

[01:17.30]Q: What information does the man find out?

[01:23.07]4.M:It only takes two hours to get to New York,

[01:32.92]but you'll have a six-hour layover between flights.

[01:37.28]W: Oh,that's all right.I don't mind having the time in New York.

[01:42.95]I still have a few things to shop for.

[01:46.50]Q: How many hours will the woman be in New York?

[01:52.74]5.M: We don't have to start for the stadium yet.

[01:57.71]Wouldn't you like something else?

[02:00.27]W:No thanks.You'd better tell her to bring our check.

[02:05.23]It'll take a while to find a parking place,

[02:09.18]especially with so many star players involved.

[02:13.72]Q: Where are the man and woman going?

[02:19.36]6.M:I'd like to buy a $10 ticket for Friday's concert.

[02:30.91]W:That'll put you on the floor.

[02:33.68]The tickets in the lower balcony are five dollars

[02:38.04]while the upper balcony seats are two-fifty.

[02:42.90]Q: What is the man's ticket for?

[02:47.05]7.M:We'll have to hurry if we're going to be on time to the airport.

[02:58.00]It's already 8:30.

[03:00.56]W:Well,it takes only half an hour to get to the airport,

[03:05.73]and the plane doesn't leave until 9:15.

[03:10.28]I think we'll make it all right if we leave immediately.

[03:14.64]Q: How much time is the couple allowing once they get to the airport?

[03:21.98]8.M:Your son is badly bruised.

[03:26.29]In a couple of days he'll be well enough to go back to climbing trees.

[03:30.94]W: He won't be climbing any more trees if I can help it.

[03:35.69]Q: What happened to the boy?

[03:39.85]9.W:May I borrow your ladder for an hour,Mr.Riley?

[03:45.62]M: Of course you may,

[03:47.76]but I don't think you should try to pick those green apples in the upper branches

[03:53.22]for at least two more weeks.

[03:55.86]By that time they’ll all be red.

[03:59.20]Q:Why did Mr.Riley think the woman should not borrow his ladder at that time?

[04:08.16]10.W:My son finds it very difficult to be away from home.

[04:14.93]I'm afraid that he will drop out of college.

[04:18.77]M:I had a similar problem with my older son.

[04:22.90]But he managed to adjust and stayed in school until he graduated.

[04:28.77]Q:Where is the woman's son at the present time?

[04:34.52]PASSAGEⅠ

[04:36.66]If you've been on campus for very long,

[04:40.50]I'm certain that you’ve already heard about this course.

[04:45.18]You may know that last semester

[04:48.73]about fifty percent of the students enrolled in my course failed it.

[04:54.19]Let me explain how this came about before you jump to any conclusions.

[05:00.15]In the first place,since this is a composition class,

[05:04.90]I expect my students to follow certain rules of formality.

[05:10.83]Unfortunately,many students today dislike having to follow rules of any kind,

[05:18.28]especially those that they may feel to be unnecessary.

[05:23.55]For example 

[05:25.90]I ask that each of your papers be typed and centered on the paper correctly.

[05:31.94]I count off points for various kinds of mistakes.

[05:36.77]A misspelled word will cost you 5 points.

[05:41.50]You've lost 25 points if you've misspelled five words.

[05:46.96]If you write incomplete sentences,you've lost 10 points.

[05:52.24]If you give me two complete sentences as one without adequate punctuation,

[05:59.00]you've lost 15 points.

[06:02.37]I do not accept late papers.

[06:06.03]You will receive a zero for any theme,which you fail to submit on time.

[06:12.48]I expect you to read each assignment.

[06:16.32]To make certain that you have read the assignment,

[06:19.98]I will give you a short unannounced quiz from time to time.

[06:25.23]This class meets on Mondays,Wednesdays,and Fridays.

[06:31.08]You will have a total of six major tests throughout the semester.

[06:36.36]Your final grade will be based on an average of these major tests,

[06:41.40]the pop tests,and eight written themes.

[06:45.66]If you have any questions at any time,you can see me on Tuesdays.

[06:51.01]My office is on the second floor of this building.

[06:55.09]Your assignment for Wednesday is to read Hemingway's short story on page 55.

[07:02.45]Friday will be the last class day of this week,

[07:06.40]so you can expect to write a short in-class theme for me then.

[07:12.04]That's all for today.I'll see you on Wednesday.

[07:16.40]Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.

[07:22.64]11.How many points will a student lose if he misspells a word on a composition?

[07:31.19]12.What will the students do in class on Friday?

[07:36.93]13.What must the students read for Wednesday?

[07:47.51]PASSAGE Ⅱ

[07:55.04]Today I'd like to discuss the first non-instance of strange evolutionary strategy

[08:03.66]This phenomenon occurs in a flowering plant called the scarlet jilia.

[08:10.19]The scarlet jilia depends on hummingbirds and moths for pollination.

[08:16.54]And the blossoms seem to change their color for each of these pollinators.

[08:22.41]On fern mountains near Flagstaff,Arizona where these flowers grow,

[08:28.47]hummingbirds arrive in mid-July to drink nectar from the scarlet jilia.

[08:34.43]In July,the flowers are bright red,which is attractive to the hummingbirds.

[08:40.78]By late August,however,

[08:43.60]the hummingbirds leave the area for a warmer climate.

[08:47.86]As the weather cools,the color of the plant blossoms changes to white,

[08:53.60]a color that attracts a particular moth species,the night-flying hawk moths.

[09:00.16]Apparently,this kind of moths can see these white blossoms easily at night.

[09:08.02]These moths continue to pollinate the flowers until well into September.

[09:14.50]The scarlet jilia demonstrates at an unusual way

[09:19.18]in which the plant lures pollinators to continue its life cycle.

[09:24.22]Questions 14 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.

[09:31.66]14.What's the main topic of the talk?

[09:37.12]15.Why is the scarlet jilia plant considered to be unusual?

[09:50.26]16.Why do the hummingbirds leave fern mountains?

[10:01.21]17.According to the speaker,in what way are white blossoms attractive to moths?

[10:09.96]PASSAGE Ⅲ

[10:17.72]The city's museums are much more than cultural centers.

[10:22.99]They are major contributors to the city’s economy.

[10:27.64]Not only do they provide jobs for people living in the city,

[10:32.50]but the museums also attract tourists who spend money in hotels,

[10:38.38]restaurants and stores.

[10:41.44]Each year mass-motoring tours visit our museums

[10:47.21]and spend millions of dollars in the city,

[10:50.45]but only a fraction of that money is ever seen by the museums.

[10:55.41]This,in addition to recent cuts in government aid,has hurt the museums.

[11:02.07]And museums are in trouble,

[11:04.84]though we can all help by increasing our contributions and encourage others

[11:10.41]to support cultural institutions.

[11:14.17]We should help the museums and help ourselves too.

[11:18.43]This message is by Crocker Bank,

[11:21.59]which is interested in keeping New York financially healthy.

[11:27.05]Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

[11:33.32]18.What is the main thought expressed in this appeal?

[11:38.96]19.Why are the city’s museums economically important?

[11:50.92]20.Why are museums having problems?
