Section A

[00:02.90]1.W:You've heard my report. Are there any comments?

[00:07.94]M:On the whole,I agree with what you said.

[00:12.20]But your last point about putting on a play doesn't seem to be very practical.

[00:18.55]How can we put on a play when we're so busy with our studies?

[00:24.11]Q:What can be concluded from this conversation?

[00:28.66]2.M:I believe there's a parcel for me.

[00:33.10]W: Let me see...yes, here's your parcel.

[00:41.80]Q: What does the woman mean?

[00:45.32]3.M:I want to send this to the United States by air mail registered.

[00:51.36]How much will it be?

[00:54.73]W:I'll have to weigh it first.

[00:58.46]It's a bit overweight.

[01:02.12]Let me see.

[01:05.18]That'll be one yuan-ten for postage and fifty fen 1 for registration 2.

[01:12.33]Q.How much will the man pay?

[01:15.89]4.M:Have you any of those bookmarks with different little paintings on them?

[01:21.92]W:Sorry,but we're all out of them at the moment.

[01:26.49]They sell very fast.

[01:29.94]Q: What did the man want to buy?

[01:33.68]5. M: Something smells good.

[01:37.52]Oh,you are preparing some noodle.

[01:41.96]What are you having with the noodles?

[01:45.69]W: Some cucumbers, a bit of pork and beef,tomatoes and eggplants.

[01:52.25]Q: How many kinds of vegetables did the woman use?

[01:57.29]6.W:Could you tell me where to have his matter settled?

[02:03.25]M: Let me see.

[02:06.30]You might try the Personnel 3 Section or the Liaison 4 Office.

[02:12.55]Oh,sorry,you'd better go to the Foreign Affairs Section

[02:17.87]which is next to the Student Union on the second floor.

[02:23.05]at the far end of the hall, on your right.

[02:27.59]Q:Where should the woman go according to the man?

[02:32.35]7.W:I hear that your son's working part-time at the department store.

[02:38.59]M: Yes.He works Monday,Wednesday and Friday from 4 to 9, all day Saturday.

[02:46.74]Q.Which days does the man's son not work?

[02:51.49]8 M:Could you show me that once more if you are not busy?

[02:57.35]W: Of course.

[03:00.40]Put the paper into the machine, set your margie

[03:05.65]put your fingers on the key

[03:09.31]Now you're ready.

[03:12.37]Q: What is the woman doing?

[03:15.60]9.M:The taxi was total loss. Did you see it?

[03:21.46]W:Yes.And to think that three women and two babies were in that terrible accident without being hurt.

[03:30.13]Q: How many people were injured in the accident?

[03:34.78]10. W:I recently saw a film that was mad

[03:39.82]from the story of a book I read the year before last.

[03:45.07]M:Did you enjoy the film as much as you enjoyed the book?

[03:50.32]Q:When did the woman read the book?

[03:54.37]Section B    Passage One

[03:58.60]We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their homes on the equator 5

[04:05.05]although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there.  Millions do it.

[04:11.22]But as for the North Pole

[04:14.96]we know that it is not only a dangerously cold plays

[04:20.18]but that people like you and me would find it quite impossible to live there.

[04:26.32]At the present time only the scientists and explorers can do so

[04:32.67]and they use special equipment.

[04:36.53]Men have ben travelling acrosss and around the equator on wheel

[04:42.07]on their feet or in ships for thousands of years

[04:47.63]but only a few men with great difficulty and in very recent time

[04:54.48]have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole.

[04:59.62]So it may surprise you to learn that when travelling by air

[05:05.58]it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator.

[05:11.85]Of course,this is not true about landings in the polar region

[05:17.39](which passenger airplane do not make but the weather

[05:23.13]if we are flying at a height of 5,000 meters above the Pole it is a delight.

[05:30.58]At 4,000 meters and more above the earth you can alway

[05:36.54]be sure that you will not see a cloud in the sky as far as the eye can reach.

[05:42.99]In the tropics 6, on the other hand

[05:46.93]you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather

[05:51.69]even at such heights as 18,000 or 20,000 metres.

[05:57.83]Aeroplane can't climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm.

[06:05.30]Nor can cloud

[06:08.35]In practice, this is an advantage to the aeroplane

[06:14.10]which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region

[06:20.06]and so does not need to clime

[06:24.00]while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.

[06:29.64]11. What can we learn about the polar region from the passage?

[06:35.91]12. Why is it a delight to fly at the Pole?

[06:41.27]13. On what condition can aeroplane climb quickly?

[06:46.80]Passage Two

[06:49.65]A country's latitude 7, or distance from the equator

[06:54.41]has an important effect on its climate.

[06:58.56]In places located at low latitude

[07:02.92]or near the equato like Ecuador and northern Brazil

[07:08.67]the amount of sunshine changes the least during the year.

[07:14.23]At mid-latitudes,in places like Japan or Argentina

[07:20.08]there is more sunshine in the summer than in the winter.

[07:25.23]The greatest change occurs at the highest latitude.

[07:30.48]in places like northern Canada or Alaska.

[07:35.63]In these places,the nights are very long for half the year

[07:40.88]and the days are long during the other half.

[07:44.74]At the North or South Pol sunlight lasts the longest during the summer.

[07:50.88]But light and heat are the most intense at the equator.

[07:56.55]Altitude and distance from the sea also affect climate.

[08:02.09]The thin air in high mountain areas absorbs less of the sun's heat

[08:08.36]than the thicker air at sea levee.

[08:12.30]The daily changes in temperature also increase with distance from the sea.

[08:18.55]Snow and rain are very important to climate.

[08:23.51]Snow reflects as much as eighty or ninety percent of the heat from the sun

[08:30.07]and makes the weather even colder

[08:33.91]but a large forest area can reflect as little as five percent of the sun's heat

[08:41.17]This makes the weather warmer.  Of course,

[08:45.32]the general effects of climate do not explain everything about the weather.

[08:50.96]For example,both the driest places in the world

[08:55.72]and the place with the most rainy days are located in Chill 8.

[09:00.97]Calama,in the Atacama Desert had no rain for over 400 years.

[09:08.34]But during the year 1916,it rained in Bahia Felix, Chile for 348 days.

[09:17.58]14. Where do the greatest changes of climates take place?

[09:23.93]15. Which of the following does not affect climate?

[09:29.78]16. Where are the driest places and the rainiest place located?

[09:36.84]Passage Three

[09:39.79]Large modern cities are too big to control.

[09:44.86]They impose 9 their own living conditions on the people who inhabit 10 them.

[09:50.71]City-dwellers are oboliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural 11 way of life.

[09:58.05]They lost touch with the land and rhythm of nature.

[10:03.30]It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existance in a large city

[10:10.35]that you are barely 12 conscious of the season.

[10:14.50]A few flowers in a public park (if you have the time to visit it)

[10:20.75]may remind you that it is spring or summer.

[10:25.29]A few leaves clinging 13 to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn.

[10:31.04]Beyond that,what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant 14.

[10:37.28]All the simple good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium 15.

[10:44.75]Tall buildings blot 16 out the sun.

[10:48.80]The traffic fumes 17 pollute the atmosphere.

[10:53.66]Even the distinction between day and night is lost.

[10:59.10]The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.

[11:05.86]17.Which is not one of the reasons why city life is not perfectable?

[11:13.10]18.Why is it not easy to see much difference between day and night?

[11:19.73]19.WHat is highly esteemed 18 in big cities according to the passage?

[11:25.69]20.Which statement is not true according the passage?
