Section A    Short Conversation

[00:04.78]1.It seems to me that there is no need to have a screen on the door in the winter

[00:12.04]We usually put it on in summer, don't we?

[00:16.90]The only reason for having a screen on the door is

[00:21.94]to keep insects out while the door is open.

[00:26.80]Q: When does the screen prevent insects from entering the room?

[00:32.86]2. M:You know,I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow but I don't know any French.

[00:40.52]How will I manage if I have to find a toilet,for example?

[00:46.37]W: It's easy.

[00:49.21]There are drawings that make everything very clear.

[00:54.57]You'll see a little picture of a man over the men's room

[01:00.11]and one of a woman over the ladies' room.

[01:04.57]Q:According 1 to the woman,how can the man find a toilet in Paris?

[01:11.21]3. M:I'm going to Italy next month.

[01:16.46]Because of my poor Italian,I'm afraid I can't make myself understood.

[01:23.30]What can I do?

[01:26.54]W: You'd better speak slowly

[01:30.31]and you may make a gesture when you cannot express your meaning clearly.

[01:36.55]But why not ask an interpreter 2 to go along with you?

[01:41.69]Q: What's the man's problem?

[01:45.82]4. M:Godness,I'm tired.

[01:50.37]It's time for a coffee break.

[01:54.21]Let's go out for some coffee, O.K.?

[01:58.57]W: I'm trying to save money nowadays.

[02:03.12]Why don't you sit down and relax right here at my home

[02:09.18]and I'll make you a cup of coffee.

[02:13.33]Q: What's the woman's suggestion?

[02:18.48]5. M: Excuse me,Lisa.

[02:22.73]I noticed a copy of encyclopedia 3 on your desk.

[02:28.58]Would you mind if I borrowed it this afternoon?

[02:33.84]W: Certainly,Jones.

[02:37.18]I'm not reading it right now

[02:41.33]so why don't you take it home over the weekend.

[02:46.09]Just remember to return it on Monday.

[02:50.55]Q: What's the woman's attitude to the man?

[02:55.60]6.W:Don't worry about it,Stanley.

[03:00.45]There's nothing we can do now.

[03:04.40]M: I guess you're right.

[03:07.85]Next time I buy tickets for the theater,

[03:12.21]I'll be sure to look at the date.

[03:15.87]Then we'll go on the right day instead of a day late.

[03:21.12]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

[03:26.05]7.M:It seems to me you have everything you'll need,Mrs.Jones.

[03:32.82]Our ship is about to leave,let's go.  W:No,I don't.

[03:39.17]Something is missing,but I can't think what it could be.

[03:44.91]My passport,my boat tickets my suitcases...yes,they're all here.

[03:53.38]Oh! Now I know what it is! Where is my husband?

[03:59.52]Q: What did the woman forget?

[04:03.57]8.M:Elizabeth,

[04:07.01]would you please read this letter of application I've just written.

[04:12.94]I'd like to have your opinion.

[04:16.89]W: I'd be glad to tell you what I think.

[04:21.15]You should write about your education first

[04:26.40]then you should give much more information about your work experience.

[04:32.04]The last paragraph 4 should be left out.

[04:36.79]Q: What did the woman think of the last paragraph?

[04:41.94]9. M: Excuse me.I've never used a library like this before.

[04:48.60]I wonder if someone might have time to show me around.

[04:53.96]W:I'd be very glad to show you around but I'm very busy right now.

[05:00.20]Could you come back about 3:30?

[05:04.56]Q: Which of the following statements 5 is true?

[05:09.71]10. M:Yes,I'd like to have these prescriptions 6 filled, please.

[05:16.66]W: Certainly,if you'll just wait a few minutes I'll have them for you.

[05:22.51]Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

[05:28.46]Section B    Passage One

[05:32.83]Darwin was a great scientis

[05:37.06]He studied living things in the world.

[05:41.19]He said,"There are thoudands of living things.

[05:45.84]But in the past,the number was smaller.

[05:50.28]In the far past, a still smaller number.

[05:55.42]In the beginning---perhaps only one."

[05:59.78]Darwin waited a long time before he put these things into a book.

[06:05.74]He always tried to add more and more facts

[06:10.39]he wanted his ideas about evolution 7 to be right.

[06:15.43]It took him many years to write the book.

[06:19.59]On the first day, people bought every copy.

[06:24.55]the men of the churches fought against Darwin's ideas.

[06:30.01]His story of the world was different from theirs.

[06:35.05]So either Darwin or the men of the churches must be wrong.

[06:40.69]But the churches did not bring any new facts,or better ideas.

[06:46.75]They only brought angry words.

[06:51.01]Later,Darwin wrote a book about the evolution of man.

[06:56.97]He said that man is also a kind of animal.

[07:01.80]And again,Darwin did not just write down his own ideas.

[07:07.34]He filled his book with facts.

[07:11.78]We know now that he was right.

[07:15.83]There have been men for more than a million years.

[07:21.47]We have found some of their bones.

[07:25.52]Bones have told us a lot about the evolution of living things.

[07:31.37]Like any other animals, man slowly changed through time.

[07:38.14]But we cannot find the bones of man from a few million years ago.

[07:44.48]There were not any men at that time.

[07:48.74]The world's animals were different then.

[07:53.57]But the bones can take us backwards 9 through time--into the past.

[08:00.31]And they can help us with our study of the evolution of life.

[08:06.06]11. What were Darwin's ideas based on?

[08:11.31]12. Why did the men of the churches fight against Darwin's ideas?

[08:17.58]13. According to the passage, which of the following is not true?

[08:23.93]Passage Two

[08:26.98]As is known 10 to all scientists and philosophers 11

[08:32.63]had studied the human body and its functions from very early times.

[08:39.29]Unfortunately,many of the ideas and theorie correct and incorrect 12

[08:46.63]were accepted without question for a great number of years.

[08:51.77]But by the 16th century

[08:55.64]knowledge gained through chemical experiment

[09:00.40]was beginning to make some people think more deeply 13 about how the human body works 14.

[09:07.03]A most important medical discovery was made by William Harvey in 1628.

[09:13.77]He found out that the blood is circulated 15 round the body

[09:19.31]in one direction only by the pumping action of the heart

[09:25.45]It had previously 16 been incorrectly 17 thought that

[09:29.99]the blood moved with a backward 8 and forward motion 18.

[09:35.45]Early in the 17th century a new instrument came into use

[09:41.41]that was to open up a whole new area in the study of medical and sicentific matter

[09:48.07]this was the microscope.

[09:51.62]The first instruments were not very efficient.

[09:56.35]They were able to magnify 19 only a very small part of the object

[10:01.99]and this was always surrounded by rings of coloured light.

[10:08.13]Nevertheless a great step forward had been taken

[10:13.36]which was of vital 20 importance for future research and development.

[10:20.98]14. What was the unfortunate thing mentioned in the passage?

[10:27.23]15. What did William Harvey find out in 1628?

[10:33.57]16.What instrument gave a great help to the study of medical and scientific matters?

[10:41.83]Passage Three

[10:44.99]One way that scientists learn about man is by animals

[10:50.24]such as mice, rats and monkeys

[10:54.89]the scientists in this laboratory 21 are experimenting on mice

[11:01.24]they are studying the relationship between diet and health.

[11:06.38]At this time over one hundred experiments are going on in this laboratory.

[11:13.23]In this experiment,the scientists are studying the relationship

[11:18.87]between the amount of food the mice eat and their health.

[11:24.41]The mice are in three groups.

[11:28.46]All three groups are receiving the same healthy died

[11:33.89]But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different

[11:39.35]The first group is eating one cup of food each day,

[11:44.60]the second is eating two cup and the third group of mice is eating three cups.

[11:51.76]After three years,

[11:55.31]the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day.

[12:02.36]The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice.

[12:07.61]But they are more active.

[12:11.06]Also they are living longer.

[12:15.01]Mice usually live for two years.

[12:20.05]Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.

[12:26.11]The second group of of mice is normal weight.

[12:30.84]They are healthy,too.

[12:34.29]They are active,but not as active as the thinner mice.

[12:39.72]But they are only living about two years.

[12:44.19]The last group of mice spends most of the days eating or sleeping.

[12:50.14]They are not very active.

[12:53.69]These mice are living longer than the scientists thought

[12:59.34]about a year and a half.

[13:02.60]But they are not healthy.

[13:06.44]The experiment is still going on.

[13:10.70]The scientists hope to finish their studies in two years.

[13:16.34]17. According to the passage,

[13:20.99]what animals are often used by scientists to learn about man?

[13:27.26]18.What are the scientists studying in this laboratory?
