  [00:12.50]MODEL TEST10

  [00:14.83]Section A

  [00:17.28]Directions: In this section,

  [00:20.48]you will hear 8 short conversations

  [00:23.11]and 2 long conversations.

  [00:25.63]At the end of each conversation,

  [00:28.06]one or more questions will be

  [00:30.18]asked about what was said.

  [00:32.37]Both the conversation

  [00:34.08]and the questions will be spoken only once.

  [00:37.56]After each question

  [00:39.25]there will be a pause.

  [00:41.22]During the pause,

  [00:42.58]you must read the four choices

  [00:44.93]marked A), B), C) and D),

  [00:48.74]and decide which

  [00:50.02]is the best answer.

  [00:51.72]Then mark the corresponding letter

  [00:54.62]on Answer Sheet 2

  [00:56.58]with a single line

  [00:57.99]through the centre.

  [00:59.68]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations

  [01:05.29]11. W: The weatherman says the storm is getting worse.

  [01:10.23]M: If he's as good as he usually is at making forecasts,

  [01:14.88]we will probably have blue skies tomorrow.

  [01:17.79]Q: What does the man mean?

  [01:34.66]12.W: John told me he got a second-hand car,

  [01:38.23]do you know how much he paid for it?

  [01:40.16]M: Well, he said he paid 8000 dollars for it.

  [01:44.66]I think he got a real bargain.

  [01:46.68]Q:What did the man think of the price of the car?

  [02:04.84]13. M: I hope that you can understand my reason for deciding to leave, Mrs. Smith.

  [02:11.66]W: Do I have to remind you that we have invested a lot of time and money in your career here?

  [02:17.03]Q: How does Mrs. Smith reply?

  [02:34.16]14. W: It looks like I'm going to be a little late for class.

  [02:39.76]I hope Prof. Clark doesn't start on time today.

  [02:42.98]M: Are you kidding? You can set your watch by the start of his class.

  [02:47.23]Q: What can be inferred about Prof. Clark?

  [03:05.84]15. W: By the way, did you hear that Jack failed his mid exam?

  [03:12.01]It's too bad because it will disqualify him for next year's scholarship.

  [03:16.13]M: He deserved it. He's never really studied since last semester.

  [03:21.62]Q: How does the man feel about Jack's failing the exam?

  [03:40.08]16.W: Registration ought to be easier this year.

  [03:45.46]M: Unless the computer breaks down.

  [03:47.57]Q: What does the woman think of this year's registration?

  [04:06.44]17. M: I forgot all about the two o'clock meeting!

  [04:12.19]Tom's going to kill me.

  [04:14.08]W: Oh, I can see why you are upset.

  [04:16.85]It can really be annoying when something important slips your mind.

  [04:21.28]Q: What's the woman's attitude toward the man's forgetfulness?

  [04:39.63]18. W: Say, Dave, can you fill in for me tonight at the restaurant?

  [04:45.84]I'd like to go out of town.

  [04:47.46]M: Sure, Laura, if it's OK with your boss. When is your shift?

  [04:52.46]Q: What does Dave agree to do?

  [05:09.80]Now you'll hear the two long conversations.

  [05:14.16]Conversation One

  [05:17.27]M: Where are you going,Catherine?

  [05:19.04]Today is Saturday.

  [05:20.57]W: Saturday isn't a holiday for me anymore.

  [05:23.76]I have to tutor for three hours every Saturday afternoon.

  [05:27.64]M: That's great.

  [05:29.42]I wish I could find a part-time job to make a little pocket money.

  [05:33.27]How did you find this job?

  [05:35.06]W: I saw a “Tutor Wanted” notice stuck on a light pole near the bus stop.

  [05:39.96]I phoned the number and I got the job.

  [05:42.93]It's not too hard to find a part-time job these days.

  [05:46.42]But Richard, studying should always come first.

  [05:50.85]Do you think that you have enough time to handle a part-time job?

  [05:54.42]M: It's hard to say.

  [05:55.86]If I can get a job,

  [05:57.29]I will try very hard to make good use of my time.

  [06:00.33]W: We do spend too much time hanging around and doing nothing.

  [06:04.49]Richard, your English is perfect.

  [06:07.05]Why don't you find a job teaching English?

  [06:10.21]M: But I don't have any teaching experience.

  [06:12.41]Speaking and teaching are two different things.

  [06:15.18]W: I don't have any experience either.

  [06:18.24]We're just students.

  [06:19.65]People know this.

  [06:21.29]But we are young and energetic,

  [06:23.40]and the most important thing

  [06:24.99]is that we don't ask for as much pay

  [06:27.22]as professional teachers do.

  [06:29.34]M: OK! Where should I start?

  [06:31.60]W: You can post some notices on the community bulletin board

  [06:34.98]and some other places.

  [06:36.43]But remember: don't post them on the wire poles

  [06:40.50]because you'll probably be fined for it.

  [06:42.97]M: Thank you for your advice,Catherine.

  [06:45.01]W: My pleasure.Good luck.

  [06:46.72]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

  [06:53.02]19. What does the woman do on Saturday afternoons?

  [07:13.68]20. How did the woman find the part-time job?

  [07:32.94]21. What does the woman suggest the man do when starting to find a job?

  [07:55.43]Conversation Two

  [07:58.50]W: Good evening and welcome to our program.

  [08:01.38]Today we'll talk about several interesting cultural artifacts

  [08:06.05]that are a part of daily lives of the Japanese,

  [08:09.12]and perhaps other Asian countries as well.

  [08:12.38]We're very happy to have Ben Smith here.

  [08:15.07]M: Thank you.

  [08:16.27]W: Well, artifacts made of bamboo are very important in Japanese culture.

  [08:21.43]M: Yes.

  [08:22.60]For hundreds and even thousands of years,

  [08:25.20]the bamboo plant has played an important role

  [08:28.33]in the lives of the Japanese,

  [08:30.30]and at one time,

  [08:31.77]it was believed that the Shinto gods could be found

  [08:35.19]in the stem of the bamboo plant,

  [08:37.18]and this is something that is portrayed

  [08:39.31]in one of Japan's oldest tales,

  [08:41.95]The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.

  [08:43.94]W: That sounds interesting.

  [08:45.33]Bamboo is a very versatile plant.

  [08:47.88]It's light and flexible,

  [08:49.80]but strong,

  [08:50.93]and there are many varieties of it.

  [08:53.00]They can be used to make various artifacts.

  [08:55.90]M: Yeah, and some of them are really exquisite.

  [08:59.41]W: Very happily,

  [09:01.11]Mr.Smith has brought here several bamboo artifacts.

  [09:04.61]So can you introduce them to us,Mr.Smith?

  [09:07.89]M: Sure.

  [09:09.11]The first one is a chashaku.It is a tea spoon,

  [09:13.20]and it is used for measuring powdered green tea

  [09:16.16]during the tea ceremony.

  [09:17.96]W: That's fine.

  [09:19.21]What about this?

  [09:20.45]M: Uh, it is a tea whisk.

  [09:22.70]It is for mixing the powdered green tea in a small bowl

  [09:26.68]until it becomes a foamy mixture.

  [09:29.03]W: Wow, it is so nice and I love it.

  [09:31.58]Thank you for showing us these fine artifacts,Mr.Smith.

  [09:35.53]M: My pleasure

  [09:36.83]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

  [09:43.39]22. What are the two speakers talking about?

  [10:03.93]23. According to the conversation,

  [10:08.30]which is true about the Shinto gods?

  [10:25.92]24. Why can bamboo be used to make different kinds of artifacts?

  [10:47.86]25. What is the chashaku used for during the tea ceremony?

  [11:08.30]Section B

  [11:11.24]Directions: In this section,

  [11:14.26]you will hear 3 short passages.

  [11:17.50]At the end of each passage,

  [11:19.72]you will hear some questions.

  [11:22.09]Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.

  [11:27.63]After you hear a question,

  [11:29.52]you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),

  [11:34.59]B), C) and D).

  [11:37.54]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2

  [11:42.55]with a single line through the centre.

  [11:45.44]Passage One

  [11:47.80]Our environment is being polluted faster than nature

  [11:52.03]and man's present efforts can prevent it.

  [11:54.85]Time is bringing us more people,

  [11:57.43]and more people will bring us more industry,

  [12:00.30]more motor vehicles,

  [12:02.19]larger cities,

  [12:03.18]and the growing use of man-made materials.

  [12:06.89]What can explain and solve this problem?

  [12:10.00]The fact is that pollution is caused by man

  [12:13.25]—by his desire for a modern way of life.

  [12:16.60]We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim.

  [12:21.19]For its sake,

  [12:22.61]we are willing to sacrifice everything:

  [12:25.06]clean air, pure water,

  [12:27.49]good food,

  [12:28.41]our health and the future of our children.

  [12:32.02]There is a constant flow of people from the country into the city,

  [12:36.35]eager for the benefits of modern society.

  [12:39.90]But as our technological achievements have grown

  [12:43.35]in the last twenty years,

  [12:45.49]pollution has become a serious problem.

  [12:48.72]Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves

  [12:51.87]where we are going and why?

  [12:53.98]It reminds one of the story about the airline pilot

  [12:58.18]who told his passengers over the loud speaker:

  [13:01.42]“I have some good news and some bad news.

  [13:04.44]The good news is that we are making rapid progress

  [13:08.02]at 530 miles per hour.

  [13:10.23]The bad news is that we are lost

  [13:12.87]and don't know where we are going.”

  [13:14.78]The sad fact is that this becomes a true story

  [13:18.28]when applied to our modern society.

  [13:21.64]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

  [13:27.37]26. According to the passage,

  [13:32.07]which of the following does the man value most?

  [13:50.47]27. Why has pollution become a serious problem?

  [14:10.71]28. What does the story about the pilot indicate?

  [14:30.85]Passage Two

  [14:32.94]Any one who spends at least one semester in college

  [14:38.21]notices that some students give up on their classes.

  [14:41.95]The person who sits behind you in accounting,for example,

  [14:45.84]begins to miss a lot of class meetings

  [14:48.55]and eventually vanishes.

  [14:50.62]Or another student comes to class without the assignment,

  [14:54.72]writes aimlessly in his notebook during the lecture,

  [14:57.67]and leaves during the break.

  [14:59.61]What's the difference between students like this

  [15:02.36]and the ones who succeed in school?

  [15:04.62]My survey may be non-scientific,

  [15:07.91]but everyone I asked said the same thing: attitude.

  [15:12.52]A positive attitude is the key to everything else.

  [15:16.28]What does “a positive attitude” mean?

  [15:19.30]It means not only showing up for your classes,

  [15:22.55]but also doing something while you're there.

  [15:25.29]Really listen.

  [15:26.82]Take notes.

  [15:28.13]Ask a question if you want to.

  [15:30.47]Don't just walk into a class,

  [15:32.91]put your mind in neutral,

  [15:34.60]and drift away to never-nerver land.

  [15:37.32]Having a positive attitude goes deeper than this,though.

  [15:41.10]It means being mature about college as an institution.

  [15:45.43]College classes can sometimes be downright dull and boring.

  [15:50.05]If you let a boring class discourage you so much

  [15:53.48]that you want to leave school,

  [15:55.21]you'll lose in the long run.

  [15:57.91]Look at your priorities.

  [15:59.98]You want a degree,

  [16:01.52]or a certificate,

  [16:02.76]or a career.

  [16:04.08]If you have to,

  [16:05.38]you can make it through a less-than-interesting class

  [16:08.37]in order to achieve what you want.

  [16:10.71]Get whatever you can out of every class.

  [16:13.97]But if you simply can't stand a certain class,

  [16:17.34]be determined to fulfill its requirements

  [16:20.21]and be done with it once and for all.

  [16:23.27]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

  [16:29.21]29. Why do some students give up on their classes?

  [16:50.78]30. What does maturity involve according to the speaker?

  [17:11.73]31. Which is the main idea of the passage?

  [17:32.06]Passage Three

  [17:34.26]In some ways the employment interview

  [17:37.61]is like a persuasive speech

  [17:39.73]because the applicant seeks to persuade the employer

  [17:42.95]to employ him or her.

  [17:45.08]Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant

  [17:48.91]as preparation is made for the actual interview.

  [17:52.29]A job applicant has the responsibility

  [17:55.28]for finding out certain types of information

  [17:57.90]before the interview.

  [18:00.04]First,the applicant should know what kind of job he wants

  [18:03.74]and how that job relates to his career objective.

  [18:07.10]It is important that

  [18:08.75]the applicant should be able to state

  [18:11.07]the reasons for wishing to work for a particular company.

  [18:15.16]Second,the applicant should seek

  [18:17.79]as much information as possible concerning the company.

  [18:21.21]Relevant information for the applicant to locate

  [18:24.61]includes such items as the location of the home

  [18:28.09]and regional offices,

  [18:29.48]the financial status of the company,

  [18:32.02]plans for expansion,

  [18:33.86]and company philosophy.

  [18:35.76]Information about most major corporations is available

  [18:39.77]in reference books and periodicals.

  [18:42.20]After gathering information concerning the company,

  [18:45.74]the applicant is ready for the interview.

  [18:48.31]The interviewer's first impression comes from the interviewee's appearance.

  [18:53.04]For most interviews,

  [18:54.64]appropriate dress for man is a conservative dark colored suit

  [18:58.86]with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt and conservative tie.

  [19:03.41]For women a conservative,

  [19:05.66]tailored suit or dress is appropriate.

  [19:07.99]Both men and women should have neat,

  [19:10.41]conservative length of hair.

  [19:12.21]Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste,

  [19:16.15]many personnel directors form initial impressions

  [19:19.60]from these characteristics.

  [19:21.25]For example,one recent college graduate,

  [19:24.67]who felt himself qualified,

  [19:26.67]interviewed for a public relations job.

  [19:29.52]However,the personnel manager considered this young man's long hair,

  [19:34.26]casual dress

  [19:35.54]and overly casual manner unsuited for this particular position.

  [19:40.41]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

  [19:45.95]32. What is an employment interview like?

  [20:06.22]33. How can the applicants find the information about the company?

  [20:28.43]34. Where does the interviewer's first impression come from?

  [20:50.48]35. What should you do if you apply a public relations job?

  [21:13.71]Section C

  [21:15.73]Directions: In this section,

  [21:19.12]you will hear a passage three times.

  [21:22.20]When the passage is read for the first time,

  [21:25.47]you should listen carefully for its general idea.

  [21:29.04]When the passage is read for the second time,

  [21:32.47]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43

  [21:38.39]with the exact words you have just heard.

  [21:42.34]For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill

  [21:46.60]in the missing information.

  [21:49.47]For these blanks,

  [21:50.61]you can either use the exact words you have just heard or

  [21:54.65]write down the main points in your own words.

  [21:58.89]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,

  [22:02.34]you should check what you have written.

  [22:05.44]Now listen to the passage.

  [22:08.89]Considering how jazz is transcribed in Chinese,

  [22:13.52]you may be misled into assuming that it is a cultural form belonging to those

  [22:19.58]who have some elegant tastes.

  [22:21.69]Nothing could be further from the truth.

  [22:24.27]It originated among black Americans at the end of the 19th century,

  [22:29.30]at a time when they occupied the very bottom of the American social heap.

  [22:34.12]So how has something that was created

  [22:36.76]by a once despised minority acquire a central place

  [22:40.96]in today’s American culture?

  [22:42.84]It’s a mystery that many people would like to solve.

  [22:46.65]Perhaps the essence of America is that

  [22:49.21]you could never get two Americans to agree on just what that might be.

  [22:53.84]After thinking about it for a while, we might utter,

  [22:57.61]"Hmm, seems like being American is a bit more complicated than we thought.

  [23:03.29]" Certainly things like individualism, success,

  [23:07.15]innovation and tolerance stand out.

  [23:10.27]But these things come together because of our ability to work

  [23:13.92]with one another and find common purpose no matter

  [23:17.51]how diverse we might be.

  [23:19.54]Some, like African-American writer Ralph Ellison,

  [23:23.03]believes that jazz captures the intrinsic properties of America.

  [23:27.49]The solos are a celebration of individual brilliance

  [23:31.43]that can’t take place without the group efforts of the rhythm section.

  [23:35.74]They say jazz brought together elements from Africa and Europe,

  [23:39.90]fusing them into a new culture,

  [23:42.15]an expression unique to the Americas.

  [23:45.20]Beyond that, though,

  [23:47.10]jazz has a connection to the intrinsic properties

  [23:50.51]of America in a much more fundamental way.

  [23:53.56]It is an expression of the African roots of American culture,

  [23:57.30]a musical medium exemplifying the domination of

  [24:01.23]African culture in American culture.

  [24:05.14]Now the passage will be read again.

  [24:09.14]Considering how jazz is transcribed in Chinese,

  [24:13.18]you may be misled into assuming

  [24:15.67]that it is a cultural form belonging to those who have some elegant tastes.

  [24:20.73]Nothing could be further from the truth.

  [24:23.37]It originated among black Americans at the end of the 19th century,

  [24:28.31]at a time when they occupied the very bottom of the American social heap.

  [24:33.09]So how has something that was created

  [24:35.87]by a once despised minority acquire a central place

  [24:40.03]in today’s American culture?

  [24:42.13]It’s a mystery that many people would like to solve.

  [24:45.27]Perhaps the essence of America is that

  [24:48.39]you could never get two Americans to agree on just what that might be.

  [24:52.80]After thinking about it for a while,

  [24:55.65]we might utter, "Hmm, seems like being

  [24:59.69]American is a bit more complicated than we thought.

  [25:03.11]" Certainly things like individualism, success,

  [25:06.26]innovation and tolerance stand out.

  [25:09.38]But these things come together

  [25:11.31]because of our ability to work with one another

  [25:13.93]and find common purpose no matter how diverse we might be.

  [25:19.79]

  [26:17.25]Some, like African-American writer Ralph Ellison,

  [26:21.79]believes that jazz captures the intrinsic properties of America.

  [26:26.54]The solos are a celebration of individual brilliance

  [26:30.27]that can’t take place without the group efforts of the rhythm section.

  [26:37.02]

  [27:33.37]They say jazz brought together elements from Africa and Europe,

  [27:38.79]fusing them into a new culture, an expression unique to the Americas.

  [27:44.20]Beyond that, though,

  [27:46.25]jazz has a connection to the intrinsic properties of

  [27:49.25]America in a much more fundamental way.

  [27:52.68]It is an expression of the African roots of American culture,

  [27:56.32]a musical medium exemplifying the domination of

  [28:00.12]African culture in American culture.

  [28:04.93]

  [28:59.96]Now the passage will be read for the third time.

  [29:07.08]Considering how jazz is transcribed in Chinese,

  [29:10.86]you may be misled into assuming that

  [29:13.38]it is a cultural form belonging to those who have some elegant tastes.

  [29:18.32]Nothing could be further from the truth.

  [29:20.77]It originated among black Americans at the end of the 19th century,

  [29:25.87]at a time when they occupied the very bottom of the American social heap.

  [29:30.91]So how has something that was created by a once despised minority acquire

  [29:36.44]a central place in today’s American culture?

  [29:39.46]It’s a mystery that many people would like to solve.

  [29:43.26]Perhaps the essence of America is that

  [29:45.91]you could never get two Americans to agree on just what that might be.

  [29:50.35]After thinking about it for a while, we might utter,

  [29:53.33]"Hmm, seems like being American is a bit more complicated than we thought."

  [30:00.32]Certainly things like individualism, success,

  [30:03.76]innovation and tolerance stand out.

  [30:06.94]But these things come together because of our ability to work

  [30:10.61]with one another and find common purpose

  [30:13.49]no matter how diverse we might be.

  [30:16.45]Some, like African-American writer Ralph Ellison,

  [30:19.89]believes that jazz captures the intrinsic properties of America.

  [30:24.18]The solos are a celebration of individual brilliance

  [30:28.19]that can’t take place without the group efforts of the rhythm section.

  [30:32.43]They say jazz brought together elements from Africa and Europe,

  [30:36.66]fusing them into a new culture, an expression unique to the Americas.

  [30:41.98]Beyond that, though,

  [30:43.86]jazz has a connection to the intrinsic properties of America

  [30:48.02]in a much more fundamental way.

  [30:50.25]It is an expression of the African roots of American culture,

  [30:54.24]a musical medium exemplifying the domination

  [30:57.82]of African culture in American culture.

  [31:01.36]This is the end of listening comprehension.
