Section A

[00:02.90]1.M:You should never strike up a conversation with a man on the street.

[00:08.65]Don't you know how dangerous it is!

[00:12.49]W: I usually don't

[00:15.75]but I couldn't find the restaurant and he looked very respectable 1.

[00:21.50]Q: Why was the man upset?

[00:24.95]2.W:I heard there was a scene at the dinner last night.

[00:30.41]M: You're right.

[00:33.15]Nobody at the table could put up with Dr.Lawrence.

[00:38.11]He proposed 2 that life would be much better in this country

[00:42.87]if we had a segregation 3 policy.

[00:46.92]Q: How did the other guests feel about Dr.Lawrence's suggestion?

[00:52.45]3. W: Don't talk to the boss today.

[00:56.89]He must have got out of bed on the wrong side.

[01:01.34]M: No, his arthrites is probably bothering him.

[01:06.87]It's awfully 4 damp out.

[01:10.11]Q: What is wrong with the boss according to the man?

[01:14.55]4.Why don't you immigrate 5 to Canada instead of coming here on short visits?

[01:21.21]I would like to but I couldn't live if I were cut off from my family and friends.

[01:27.75]Q: Where are the woman's family and friends?

[01:31.79]5. M: I need to send in an accident report.

[01:37.04]Tell me in you own words Mrs. Nanthy.

[01:41.59]W:Well,I was driving along Jefferson Street. Between 19th and 20th Street.

[01:48.43]I wasn't going fast at all.

[01:51.99]I saw a car backing out of the drive way.

[01:56.85]It was Mrs. Kathy who didn't stop at all.

[02:01.89]She backed right into me.

[02:05.83]Q: Where did the accident happen?

[02:09.49]6. W: If we hurry we can take the express train and save an hour.

[02:15.94]M: Yes.The express takes only two hours to get to Tokyo.

[02:21.79]Q: How long does it take the local train to Tokyo?

[02:27.33]7. M: Say Phi.

[02:31.09]How about donating $ 15 or $ 20 to the scholarship fund 6?

[02:37.05]W: I wish I could. But $ 10 is all I can spare.

[02:42.48]Q: What did you learn about Phil and the scholarship fund?

[02:47.52]8.M:If you want to make friends in this town

[02:52.46]you ought to join the Theater Group.

[02:56.40]W: But my English isn't good enough to act in a play.

[03:01.16]Q:What does the woman mean?

[03:04.50]9.M:Professor Smith wil give a lecture in Room 105 this evening

[03:11.35]but I don't think all the students in our grade can go there.

[03:16.78]Because it can only hold 60 persons.

[03:21.14]W: Oh.Didn't you know?

[03:24.70]They've doubled the size of the room by pulling down a wall.

[03:29.95]Q: How many persons can the room hold now?

[03:34.39]10. W:How will you spend your summer vacation?

[03:39.25]M:At first I thought I'd go to Mount 7 Lu for the vacation

[03:44.81]but after a careful thought

[03:48.15]I decided 8 to stay at the school and find an odd 9 job to earn some money.

[03:54.11]Q: What is the man going to do during the vacation?

[03:58.86]Section B    Passage One

[04:03.12]It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger

[04:09.36]who had promised to pay an extra far.

[04:14.12]While the youth stood on the landing 10 place searching in his pockets for money

[04:19.66]the boatman got close to him and with the help of the moonlight

[04:25.20]took a careful look at the stranger---a young man of just 18 years

[04:31.75]obviously country bred,and now,as it seemer

[04:36.69]on his first visit to town.

[04:40.42]He was wearing a rough gray coat

[04:44.37]which was in good shap

[04:47.71]The clothes under his coat were well made of leathee

[04:52.65]and fitted tightly 11 to a pair of fat legs

[04:57.22]his blue cotton stockings must have been the work of his mother or sister

[05:03.46]and on his head was a 3-cornered hat.

[05:08.01]In his left hand was a walking stick

[05:12.16]which hung on his strong shoulder

[05:16.03]with 2 leather bags on both ends of the stick.

[05:20.68]The youth,whose name was Robin 12, paid the boatman

[05:25.93]and then walked forward into the town with light steps

[05:30.97]as if he had not already traveled more than 30 miles that day.

[05:37.42]As he walked alone he looked about his surroundings 13

[05:43.09]as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid

[05:48.53]in stead of the little town.

[05:52.05]11. Why was the boarman willing to taken Robin across the river?

[05:58.58]12. What time of the year did the story most probably take place?

[06:05.04]13. At what time of the day did Robin cross the river?

[06:10.60]14. What do we know from the context 14 about Robin?

[06:16.24]Passage Two

[06:19.79]In the year 2000,the world is going to have a population of about 8 billion.

[06:26.56]Most scientists agree that the most severe problem is food suppy.

[06:33.01]Who is going to feed all those people?

[06:37.45]Where is the food going to come from?

[06:42.10]Are you going to have enough food?

[06:46.36]Are we going to produce more artificial 15 food?

[06:51.22]One way of improving the situation is for people to eat less meat.  Why?

[06:58.56]Because it takes four kilo of grain protein to produce half a kilo of meat protein.

[07:06.11]Clearly,there is not going to be sufficient 16 meat protein for 8 billion people.

[07:13.35]Therefore,it will also be necessary to change eating habits

[07:19.01]because meat is the main part of many people's food today.

[07:24.55]A possible solution to this latter problem is the soybea

[07:30.90]The soybean plant produces beans which have a very high fat and protein content.

[07:38.45]Scientists can now make these look and taste like real mea

[07:44.80]They can also make many other artificial products such as soybean milk,

[07:51.64]for example,which has a taste of milk and can be used in cooking

[07:57.78]in very much the same ways as cow's milk.

[08:03.21]In fact,one woman in the United States fed her family only on soybeans for a year.

[08:10.97]She gave them soybean beef,soybean chicke,

[08:16.22]soybean milk,and sometimes just soybean.

[08:21.26]Possibly,we are all going to eat soybeans in the future

[08:27.30]and finally give up meat completely from our tables.

[08:32.37]15. What is the main subject of the passage?

[08:38.11]16.Why will meat completely disappear in the future according to the passage?

[08:45.35]17. What do we know about soybean meat?

[08:50.29]Passage Three

[08:53.34]If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good thing.

[08:59.40]This is the research finding 17 of a team of Japanese doctors

[09:04.65]who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercises

[09:10.61]---and as a result we are growing old unnecessarily soon.

[09:16.96]Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out

[09:20.90]why quite healthy farmers

[09:25.55]in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think

[09:30.80]and reason at a rather early age

[09:35.76]and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.

[09:41.12]With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University

[09:46.97]he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different jobs.

[09:53.42]Computer technology helped the researchers to get most measurements 18 of the volume

[10:00.08]of the front and side parts of brain

[10:04.73]which have something to do with intellect 19 and feeling

[10:09.78]and decide the human characte

[10:14.03]As we all know, the back part of the brain

[10:18.48]which controls tasks like eating and breathing

[10:23.54]does not contract with age.

[10:27.70]Contraction of the front and side parts

[10:32.03]--as cells die off--was seen in some people in their thirties

[10:38.09]but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year olds.

[10:44.15]Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way

[10:49.90]to prevent the contraction--using the head
