W: Really？ M: Yeah, so what are you doing this summer, anything special？ W: Well, actually yeah. My parents have always liked taking my brother and me to different places in our country. You know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. And so even though we are older now, they still do once in a while. M: Oh so where are you going this summer？ W: Well, this summer it's finally going to be Yan'an. M: Finally？ You mean they never took you yet？ I mean Yan'an; it's probably the most famous revolutionary base in the country. It's only a couple of hours ride by train. I think that would be one of the first places where they should have taken you. I have been there a couple of times. W: We were going to go about five years ago, but something happened. I cannot remember what changed our plans. Yeah, don't ask me what it was, but we ended up not going anywhere that year. I hope that doesn't happen again this year.

W: In just three weeks, and I am really excited. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go. M: Like what？ W: Like renewing my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone. M: You are not going to give it up, are you？ W: No way, I'll never find another apartment around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months' rent on an empty apartment, either. M: Perhaps you could sublet it. W: Yes, but who to？ M: An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas, is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August. Perhaps you could sublet it to him. W: That's exactly when I'll be away. It sounds ideal, as long as the landlord agrees. M: Tell you what, I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I'll mention it to him then. W: Well, thanks, Bill, let me know what happens. That extra money will really come in handy. What does Mary need to do at the travel agency？ A．Book a hotel in Europe. B．Buy her plane ticket. C．Sublet her apartment. D．Renew her passport.

W: You're right, Don. That sign says Chagford Town Hall. But there's a more interesting notice on the other side of the square. Do you see what it says？ "Open for Devon Cream Teas". M: Oh, yes, so it does. Oh, I must get a newspaper. There's a newsagent next door. W: What for？ M: To find out what's been happening. W: I don't need a newspaper. We must have been walking for at least six hours. My feet have been hurting for a- bout four hours and I've been starving since we shared that tin of cold beans. M: You're hungry again？ I see what you mean. That tea shop does look interesting. We could plan tomorrow's walk while we were having tea. W: So toady we had complete Devon cream teas, with additional sandwiches and cakes, and another order of scones. I feel better. How about you？ M: A Devon cream tea is better than a tin of cold beans. In fact, it's better than almost anything... except a good newspaper. Do you ever buy a newspaper？ W: Not often. But I watch television. M: Television! It only scratches the surface. W: Television coverage is very dramatic. M: Yes. You learn what happened but never why it happened. W: Rubbish. M: TV workers aren't in aren’t in a position to fill in the background. W: They were there. M: No, they only show you the bits. M: Yes, of course. See to it, will you, Turner. I must get a newspaper before the newsagent closes. W: Could you get me a paper？ M: What for？ W: To find out what's on television. (20) A．A tea shop. B．A newsagent. C．Lights. D．A shoes store.

W: Yes, I saw it in the paper. From a 200-foot high building, wasn't it？ I gather the driver had just got out or he'd have been killed, wouldn't he？ M: Oh, yes. I saw the car; it was totally damaged. W: You usually park your car around there, don't you, Bill？ M: Yes, I left it in that very spot a couple of days ago, but yesterday it was parked up the road. W: You were lucky then, weren't you, Bill？ M: Out of luck, you mean! I'd be very pleased if my old ear were smashed to bits. I could claim from the insurance company then, couldn't I？ W: But you used to be so proud of your car, weren't you？ M: I used to be years ago, but now there are all sorts of repairs to be done, and I just haven't got enough spare cash to put it right. W: You can always sell it, can't you？ M: Few people are stupid enough to buy a car in that state, are they？ W: The man whose car was crushed yesterday was very annoyed about it. He'll be given a new car by the builders, though. M: Yes, but his car was a specially-built model that can't be replaced, and there was hardly anything wrong with it, was there？ W: Well, that's life! When people actually want to get rid of their cars, this sort of thing seldom happens, does it？ (20) A．There was a traffic accident. B．A car was smashed by a falling object. C．A car hit someone near the high building. D．A driver was killed in his new car.

W: Work late？ I... I suppose so, if you really think it's necessary. Q: Who do you think the woman is？ (2) A．The man's wife. B．The man's secretary. C．The man's sister. D．The man's boss.

M: Not many I know. But I am not sure yet which one to choose. W: You seem to have doubts about the State University. But its biology department has good facilities all the biology majors want. M: Yeah. They aim have internship for seniors. But a friend told me that for the first two years some lectures had a hundred and fifty students. You probably wouldn't get to know any of your teachers. W: Well, you might actually because those classes also have small discussion sections twice a week which have no more than twenty students. M: I know. But I've heard they were usually taught by graduate students. At White Stone College all classes are taught by professors. W: What about studying？ Do you prefer a small town like White Stone or a bigger place like the state capital？ M: That doesn't matter to me. What I do care about is getting individual attention from the faculty and making friends. W: Look, I've known you for four years now, and you seem to be a pretty out-going person. I don't think yon'Il have any trouble making friends at State University. It sounds to me like you are leaning toward White Stone though. M: I am. The only problem is that the white Stone's tuition fee is really high and I'm not sure I can afford it. W: You could still apply for a student loan or sign up for a work-study program. M: yeah, I think I'll look into that. Why did the man go to see the woman？ A．To apply for a student loan. B．To discuss a decision he has to make. C．To ask for a letter of recommendation. D．To find out which colleges accepted him.

W: Really？ M: Yeah. W: So what are you doing this summer, anything special？ M: Well, actually yeah. My parents have always liked taking my sister and me to different places in the United States. You know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. And so even though we are older now, they still do once in a while. Oh so where are you going this summer？ W: Well, this summer it's finally going to be Gettysburg. M: Finally？ You mean they never took you yet？ I mean Gettysburg. It's probably the most famous Civil War site in the country. It's only a couple of hours away. I thought that would be one of the first places that they' d have taken you. I have been there a couple of times. W: We were going to go about ten, well, no, it was exactly ten years ago, but I don' t know, something happened, 1 cannot remember what. M: Something changed your plans？ W: Yeah, don't ask me what it was, but we ended up not going anywhere that year. I hope that doesn't happen again this year. I wrote a paper about Gettysburg last semester for a history class I was taking.

W: Sometimes. You know the life of a social worker is not all wonderful and working to help people in their daily life. I have to spend a lot of time pushing paper, and writing reports too. But when I do get out, yeah, I see a lot of foreigners. And sometimes they come in because life in America has just beaten them down and they can't cope financially or emotionally. M: Really？ I would think that they had a good support network in place, especially university students. W: They do have a network, and a variety of support groups, but these can't meet all of the students' needs. They can't help with paying bills, dealing with American neighbors and customs, fitting in, getting a driver's license, etc. They try, but very often the student has to figure out a lot of this stuff by himself. And if he or she is shy, they don't have the courage to ask other people, even other people from their nationality. M: So what are some of the things that overseas students struggle with？ W: This might interest you, but they struggle with the food, especially Chinese. You know, they come here knowing that Americans love Chinese food so much. They think that there will be good restaurants with Chinese food that they love. But they get here and they are extremely surprised. Americans enjoy totally different flavors. M: So what do they do？ W: If they're brave and curious, they look around and test all the restaurants. There is usually at least one restaurant in every town that has almost quality food. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23. In which aspect does the woman help people in her work？ 24. Why do people come to the woman for help？ 25. How did Chinese students expect the American-made Chinese food before they came to the U.S？ (20) A．Writing reports for them. B．Teaching them foreign languages. C．Helping them deal with daily existence. D．Introducing work for them.

W: I know he is stubborn. What do we know about Mr. Stevens？ A．He doesn't want to identify the decision. B．He doesn't want to accept the decision. C．He doesn't want to recognize the decision. D．He doesn't want to be involved in the decision.

W: Oh, please be serious! I suppose they will change shapes as well. If you want a big car to take all your friends camping, I suppose you'll just be able to snap your fingers and make it happen. Or if you want a sporty two-seater, you could just tell the car what you wanted, and it would do the rest. Is that how it will work？ M: No, I am serious. They have found a way to alter the surface of metals so that they can reflect different colors just by passing a small amount of electricity over them. W: Oh, I see. So anything that touches the outside of the car will get a shock. That sounds lovely. M: It's only a tiny amount of electricity. It wouldn't be enough to shock anybody. W: Well, it sounds pretty difficult to believe. M: Yes, it's quite amazing. The important thing you have to remember is that the color of an object is really just an illusion created by the way light bounces off its surface. Engineers have been able to produce a car that changes colors at the touch of a button by slightly rearranging the position of the particles on the surface of the metal. W: It sounds so amazing. But I guess it could be possible. M: It is possible today. The only problem is that it is very expensive. To produce a car with a surface that changed colors would cost almost twice as much as what a regular car costs. For that much money you could just by the car and have it repainted twenty times, so it's not very practical yet. W: Yes, but in other ways it could be more practical. If you took your car to be painted twenty times, it would use quite a bit of polluting chemicals, and it would take a long time. M: You're right there, but how many people really get their car repainted that many time？ W: Hmm, I suppose you're right, but I sure would love to have my car match my outfit every day. (26) A．She is impressed. B．She is doubtful. C．She is shocked. D．She is surprised.

W: Actually, I'm just fine with it. But just go ahead, if you like. Q: How does the man think of staying in the room？ (14) A．He feels hot. B．He feels comfortable. C．He feels cold. D．He feels crowded.

W: But there is a very good chance in this case. I do hope you'll go ahead in view of the potential benefit to mankind. Q: What are the two speakers talking about？ (5) A．A prediction of the future of mankind. B．A new drug that may benefit mankind. C．An opportunity for a good job. D．An unsuccessful experiment.

A．How to solve problems． B．Someone who will listen to them． C．Someone whom they can rely on． D．What a real friend should b E．
