    1 I. W: Good evening, sir. Here is the menu. Would you like to order now?
    M: Yes, but I’m in a rush. Can I be served out of here in half an hour?
    Q: Where are the speakers?
    12. M: I thought it would be fun if we all went to see that new movie downtown.
    W: Count me out. I’ve heard it’s not worth the money.
    Q: What does the woman mean?
    13. W: Jane has written some articles for her research project.
    M: So she has finished them.
    Q: What had the man assumed about Jane?
    14. M: I wonder if a problem like this can be solved by Linda.
    W: Well. If she can’t solve it, no one can.
    Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?
    15. W: I’m going to ask the janitor to clean the lobby.
    M: Would you ask him to wash the staircase as well?
    Q: What is being discussed?
    16. W：One piece of cloth is pure wool and the other is a synthetic fabric.
    M: Amazing! I really can’t tell them apart.
    Q: What does the man mean?
    17. M: Has the latest Shanghai Daily arrived yet? Today is already Tuesday.
    W: Sorry, it’s late. Probably not till the day after tomorrow.
    Q: On what day of the week will the newspaper arrive?
    18. M: Remember to act naturally when you’re on camera.
    W: How can I be natural in front of 10 million viewers?
    Q: What kind of camera are they talking about?
    Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
    Conversation One
    M: Is that a map? Are you going sailing or something?
    W: I wish. It’s a hurricane-tracking chart. It’s a map of tropical ocean areas southeast of us. It follows the development of tropical storms, even hurricanes. They develop in the Caribbean and move around the Atlantic and here on the Florida Coast. We got hit a lot by those winds or rain in July or August.
    M: Do you think that the tropical storm is on the way?
    W: Too early to tell, but we need to be prepared. The radio mentioned possible evacuation routes.
    M: Really? It’s that serious’?
    W: You’d better believe it. Late summer is hurricane season. The television updates locations and speeds every hour.
    M: What did they say is out there now?
    W: A couple of tropical depressions, two storms and two hurricanes.
    M: What’s the difference?
    W: Wind velocity. A depression is the least serious actually, and a hurricane is the most serious.
    M: How serious are the winds in hurricanes?
    W: They have sustained winds of 74 mph and up.
    M: What are the names on the map?
    W: David, Arlene, Francisco, and Gina. You know weather forecasters give the hurricanes the names of people to make storms easy to identify,
    M: I wonder what the status of the storm is now.
    W: You can turn on the television; it has the best coverage. There is an update coming up in five minutes.
    Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    19. What is the conversation mainly about?
    20. What’s the weather of late summer?
    21. How is one tropical weather system distinguished from the other?

    Conversation Two
    M: I am so relieved, I just finished the story I was working on for our creative writing course.
    W: I haven’t quite finished mine yet. I had trouble getting past the beginning.
    M: How come?
    W: Well. 1 was really happy to be writing a detective story. But after the first few pages, I sort of froze up mentally. I just couldn’t write any more.
    M: The same thing happened to me. 1 thought it meant I lack imagination.
    W: Well, Professor Wilson said it’s pretty common for writers to get stuck like that.
    M: You went to talk to her about it?
    W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some advice about how to keep from getting stalled writing like that. She said that first thing I should do is just write anything that comes into my head even if it doesn’t make any sense, sort of warm up exercise.
    M: That is interesting. When 1 got stuck, I shift to something else, you know, do some work for one of my other courses.
    W: Well, her methods seem to have worked for me. I’ve written most of the story, and I should be able to hand it in on time. But first I need go to the jewelry store.
    M: You are going shopping? Can’t you wait until you finish your story?
    W: I am going there for my story. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery, so I want to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.
    Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    23. What was the woman’s problem?
    24. What did the professor tell the woman to do?
    25. Why is the woman going out?
    Section B
    Passage One
     The dog has often been an unselfish friend to man. It is always grateful to its master. It helps man in many ways. Certain breeds of dogs are used in criminal investigations. They are trained to sniff out drugs and bombs. They help police to catch criminals.
     The dogs that help in criminal investigations are trained at a school called the Military Dog Studies Branch of the U.S. Air Force in Lackland, Texas. The dogs to be trained are selected by an air force team. This team visits large cities across the country to buy the dogs. They may buy dogs from private citizens for up to $750 each. Some citizens freely give their dogs. The dogs selected must be healthy, brave and aggressive. They must be able to fight back if they are attacked. The dogs chosen are between the ages of one and three. They are given a medical examination when they arrive at the school. Their physical examination includes X-rays and heart tests. The trainee dogs undergo the first stage of training when they arrive in Lackland. This is an 11-week course for patrol duty. After this course, the best dogs are selected to go on another 9-weekcourse. They learn drug-sniffing or bomb-sniffing. After this course, the dogs are ready for their jobs in the cities or on air force bases.
    The training given to a drug-sniffing dog is different from that given to a bomb-sniffing dog. A drug-sniffing dog is trained to scratch and dig for the drugs when he sniffs them. A bomb-sniffing dog sits down when he finds a bomb.
    That is the alert for hidden explosives.
    Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
    26. How are the dogs obtained for training?
    27. What is the first stage of training for the dogs?
    28. What do dogs learn during the 9-week training?
    Passage Two
    From this lookout we enjoy one of the most spectacular views of San Francisco. As you can see, the city rests on a series of hills varying in altitude from sea level to 938 feet. The first permanent settlement was made at this site in 1776. For 13 years the village had fewer than one hundred inhabitants. But in 1848, with the discovery of gold, the population grew to ten thousand. The same year the name was changed from Yerba Buea to San Francisco.
    By 1862 telegraph communications linked San Francisco with eastern cities, and by 1869 the first transcontinental railroad connected the Pacific coast with the Atlantic seaboard. Today San Francisco has a population of almost three million. It is the financial center of the west, and serves as the terminus for trans-Pacific steamship lines and air traffic.
    The port of San Francisco, which is almost 18 miles long with 42 piers, handles between five and six million tons of cargo annually.
    And now, if you will look to your right, you should just be able to see the east section of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge, which is more than one mile long, spans the harbor from San Francisco to Marin County and the Red Wood Highway. It was completed in 1937 at a cost of 32 million dollars and is still one of the largest suspension bridges in the world.
    Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
    29. According to the tour guide, what happened in 1848?
    30. What is the population of San Francisco today?
    31. How much did it take to complete the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge?
    Passage Three For good or bad, computers are now part of our daily lives. With the price of a small home computer now being lower, experts predict that before long all schools and businesses and most families in the rich parts of the world will own a computer of some kind. Among the general public, computers arouse strong feelings-people either love them or hate them.
    The computer lovers talk about how useful computers can be in business, in education and in the home-apart from all the games, you can do your accounts on them, use them to control your central heating, and in some places even do your shopping with them. Computers, they say, will also bring some leisure, as more and more unpleasant jobs are taken over by computerized robots.
    The haters, on the other hand, argue that computers bring not leisure but unemployment. They worry, too, that people who spend all their time talking to computers will forget how to talk to each other. And anyway, they ask, what’s wrong with going shopping and learning languages in classroom with real teachers? But their biggest fear is that computers may eventually take over human beings altogether.
    Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
    32. What does this passage mainly talk about?
    33, According to the passage, what is not mentioned about computers?
    34. What is the biggest fear of the computer haters?
    35. What’s the speaker’s attitude to computers?
    Section C
    Development banks are international lending groups. They lend money to developing countries to help fuel economic growth and social (36) progress.
