听力原文1

　Section A
　　11. W: Have Todd and Lisa started a family yet? They’ve been married for two years now.
　　M: Todd indicated to me that they’d postpone having children until he gets his law degree.
　　Q: How do Todd and Lisa feel about children?
　　12. W: This doesn’t look at all familiar. We must be lost, we’d better get some directions.
　　M: Let’s pull in here. While I’m filling the tank, you ask about the directions and get me a soft drink.
　　Q: Where will the man and the woman go for assistance?
　　13. W: Excuse me sir, but I have to use your phone. There’s been an accident and I have to call an ambulance.
　　M: Well, I suppose that’ll be all right. This phone is usually for office use only, but since it’s an emergency.
　　Q: Why did the woman sound urgent?
　　14. M: Now you can begin taking the plates to the customers. Well, don’t carry too many plates. You may drop them.
　　W: Oh, I won’t drop them. I’ve never dropped a plate in my life.
　　Q: Where does this conversation probably take place?
　　15. M: I thought that you said that Bob went to Searing High School.
　　W: No, he used to attend Clark High School, but after graduation last year, he enrolled in Melrose Community College where he is presently studying.
　　Q: Where does Bob go to school now?
　　16. M: Your blood pressure is quite normal and there was nothing wrong with your heart or lung.
　　W: But what about these headaches I am always getting? I’m still worrying about them.
　　Q: What’s wrong with the woman?
　　17. M: I bought this sweater as a gift last week but have just discovered that it is the wrong size. So I want to return it.
　　W: If you have your receipt, I can give you credit for the purchase. But I can’t repay you.
　　Q: Where did the conversation probably take place?
　　18. M: How many people will be coming to the party on Saturday?
　　W: We had to cross off fifteen names from our original list of one hundred and fifty.
　　Q: How many people do they expect to attend the party?
　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
　　Conversation One
　　M: I see you still got all your suitcases with you too. We must have the same problem.
　　W: Let me guess. Your room’s been given to someone else?
　　M: Yes.
　　W: I don’t get it! They sent me my room number a long time ago.
　　M: Me too. Well, at least there is room in another dorm, Bundy Hall.
　　W: That’s where they’re putting me too. But you’ll realize that unless you have a car, Bundy is at least 25 minutes’ walk from the center of campus. And don’t count on taking the campus bus. It runs at really inconvenient times.
　　M: Great way to start your college career. But, I don’t know, maybe there is a positive side of all this. Since we’ll be so far away from everything, we’ll be forced to use our time wisely.
　　W: True. I’ve heard lots of first year students get into trouble because they hang out every day in the student center till it closes.
　　M: Exactly! And not only that, we will get plenty of exercise from all that extra walking.
　　W: Yeah. And that is not exactly easy walking either. Around here you just need a pair of hiking boots, and to enjoy mountain climbing.
　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
　　 19. What problems do the students have?
　　20. What is one disadvantage of living in Bundy Hall?
　　21. What do they think of the campus bus?
　　22. What does the man think of the extra walking?
　　Conversation Two
　　M: Sara, I’ve heard that you want to move into a home stay family. Is that correct?
　　W: Yes, that’s right. I’ve been staying with my aunt. Now my cousin is arriving from Singapore and my aunt needs the room for him.
　　M: Oh, that’s bad luck. Well, I’ll need to get some particulars first. Sara, what’s your full name?
　　W: Sara Lim, and that’s Sarah without the "h" at the end.
　　M: Mmm. How old are you, Sara?
　　W: 23, only just. It was my birthday on the 21st of August.
　　M: Happy Birthday for yesterday. How long have you been in Australia?
　　W: A year in Adelaide and six months in Sydney. I prefer Sydney, and I’ve got more friends here.
　　M: What’s your address at your aunt’s house?
　　W: Flat one, 539 Forest Road, Canterbury. And the post code is 2036.
　　M: OK. What are you studying now?
　　W: I was studying General English in Adelaide and now I’m doing Academic English, because I’m trying to get into Medicine next year.
　　M: That sounds good, but it’ll take you a long time. When would you like to move out from your aunt’s?
　　W: My cousin arrives on Friday morning, so I’d better be out on Thursday.
　　M: Is that the seventh of September?
　　W: Yes, that’s right.
　　Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
　　23. Why does the woman want to move into a home stay family?
　　24. How long has the woman been in Australia?
　　25. What does the woman want to study?

　　Section B
　　Passage One
　　There have been many great inventions, things that change the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today-the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
　　For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.
　　In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.
　　The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.
　　By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was known to man, but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.
　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　26. When did people stop exploring a lot?
　　27. Which was an important invention in the 19th century?
　　28. What made people healthier and let them live longer lives in the middle part of the 20th century?
　　Passage Two
　　We know that we have to pay for what we get. If we buy food, we know there will be a bill to pay. These are private bills. But there are also public bills that must be paid. Public bills are paid by the government. In turn, we get these services through taxes. What would happen if everyone in the city stopped paying taxes? The water supply would stop; water might become unclean and impure. The streets might not be cleaned. There would be no police force to protect people and property. Schools would be closed. People would become sick and diseases might spread. We
　　should not want to live in such a city. We all want pure water and food, clean streets and good schools. We want the police to prevent crime. The chief duty for every government is to protect persons and property. More than three quarters of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and all the public officials. A large number of public funds are also spent on roads.
　　The greatest part of necessary funds is raised by taxes. A tax is money that we all must pay to support the government. The law orders us to pay taxes. We have no choice in the matter. Almost everyone pays some taxes in one form or another.
　　Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard~
　　29. How does the government pay for public bills?
　　30. According to the speaker, what would NOT happen if nobody in the city paid taxes?
　　3 I. Which of the following costs the largest amount of public money according to the speaker?
　　Passage Three
　　Last summer, I took my first flight from London to New York. I boarded the plane at Crayon Airfield and, from that moment on, my life was arranged for me on the trip. First, I was directed to my seat by the stewardess, and then when the plane was ready to take off, the other passengers and I were told to fasten our seat belts. A few minutes after take-off, magazines and newspapers were passed out. Because my ears hurt, I was given some gum to chew. Next, we were given instructions on what to do in case of an emergency. We were given earphones to listen to music and told that a movie would be shown after dinner. Before dinner, we were asked if we wanted a cocktail. Dinner was served on a tray, and it was attractive and delicious. We were permitted to have a refill on any beverage. After the dinner, we were shown a new Hollywood movie. When I felt cold, I was given a blanket, when I felt airsick the stewardess gave me a paper bag. Everything was done for the comfort of the passengers. When the plane landed, I was almost sorry to get off and have to start doing things for myself again.
　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　32. Where is Crayon Airfield?
　　33. What were distributed a few minutes after take-off?.
　　34. What was not provided on an airplane?
　　35. Who gave the author a paper bag?
　　Section C
