(Text 1)
M: I hope you don't mind but I want very much to watch the game this coming Sunday.
W: I certainly do, but there's not much I can do about it, is there?
(Text 2)
M: Are you looking for someone?
W: Yes, I need to speak to Neil. He isn't in this office.
M: He is talking to the boss at the moment.
(Text 3)
W: What was the play about?
M: Well, this woman met this man ...
W: Oh, a love story as usual!
M: Actually they were brother and sister, but they hadn't seen each other since they were babies because their parents broke up and took one child each.
(Text 4)
W: This is a beautiful park. Shall we come again tomorrow?
M: Don't we have to go shopping?
W: We can do that in the afternoon, and come here in the morning.
M: OK. And let's bring Joe and Linda with us.
(Text 5)
W: I want one pound of pork and three pounds of chicken.
M: The pork is $3.48 a pound and the chicken is $5.25 a pound.
W: OK, I think that will be all for me today.
(Text 6)
W: Would you like to go skating with me this afternoon?
M: Oh, I'd love to, but we're going to clean our dormitory as soon as school is over.
W: Maybe another time. People say that boys' dormitories are in a mess, is it true?
M: In fact, our dormitory is much worse than they can be described.
W: It's hard for me to imagine. How can you stand that?
M: You'll get used to it gradually.
W: Oh my god, don't you know that such living environment is not healthy?
M: Yes, we do. That's why we have a cleaning every three months.
W: Three months? Incredible!
(Text 7)
W: Where is Irene? I haven't seen her all day.
M: She's in the computer room using the Internet.
W: Recently, she has been spending hours on the Internet every day.
M: She's probably just getting some facts for her report.
W: No, she's just wasting all her time on the BBS or in one of those discussion groups. And yesterday, she was using the Internet to do some shopping!
M: If you're really worried, let's go and get her out. We can persuade her to do something else.
W: OK, but you have to wait a minute. First I have to check my email.
(Text 8)
M: All right. Let's go to the new car exhibition. I haven't seen it yet.
W: I have, and I don't want to see it again.
M: OK, what about a ballet? There's a good one this evening at the Grand Theatre.
W: But it's too expensive. Besides, we have no tickets.
M: Let's play cards.
W: Only two of us? Oh, no!
M: Then what do you want to do? I've suggested so many things. Now it's your turn to make a suggestion.
W: I'm hungry, and I can't think of anything except food.
M: Why didn't you say so before? Let's go to Pizza Hut. It tastes so nice.
W: That's the best suggestion of all! And after we've eaten we can think of something exciting to do.
(Text 9)
M: Hey, what's wrong, Shelly? You look pretty mad.
W: Do I look mad? Well, I guess I am pretty mad.
M: Why? What's the matter?
W: Oh, it's Joan! Look at my job description — Office Manager. But what am I doing? I'm creating production schedules ... I'm doing market research ... writing reports that aren't in my job description.
M: Well, you're right. It's not an office manager or a secretary's job. That's a producer's job.
W: Well, I'm certainly not making a producer's salary! I'm making much, much less.
M: Shelly, do you think Joan's going to come in here right now and say,“Shelly, honey, you are so great, you are so fantastic! Please, let me give you more money!”
W: No, of course not!
M: No. Joan will only give you more money if you ask for it. She's not that kind of critical or selfish woman.

第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Gertrude Chandler listened. Another train was passing her house in Putnam, Connecticut. She loved living across the street from the railway station.
Sometimes, Gertrude was ill and had to stay home from school. When she was not feeling well, books were her friends. One day in 1899, while she was reading a book, Gertrude, at the age of 9, glanced (瞥) out the window at a train. She could see inside its last car. She saw a small stove (炉子), cups, and a coffee pot. How comfortable it looked! It was like a little home. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a boxcar?
After high school, Gertrude decided to find a job. She had always loved to write. Soon she was writing for a newspaper in her town. Later, at age twentysix, she wrote her first real book. With her sister Frances, Gertrude wrote more books. Most of these were for grownup readers.
In 1924, Gertrude wondered again about living in a train car. She decided to write a story called The Boxcar Children. The characters in the book were called the Alden children. They were named Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. Afraid of living with a grandfather they had never met, the Alden children made a home for themselves in an old red boxcar they discovered in the woods. The oldest boy Henry worked in a nearby town to buy food and other things they needed. The brave children made a happy life for themselves and had many adventures (奇遇) together. When Gertrude became a teacher, she read the boxcar book to her pupils.
During the next thirty years, Gertrude wrote eighteen more books about the boxcar children. She died in 1979, but her wellloved books live on. The adventures of Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny still bring smiles to the faces of young readers.
语篇解读:本文是记叙文。格特鲁德·钱德勒住在铁路边,路过的火车使她幻想生活在火车车厢中的情景。随后,她创作了《棚车少年》系列作品,让书中的人物替自己实现了儿时的梦想。
21.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Why Gertrude's family lived near a train station.
B.How Gertrude got the idea of living in a boxcar.
C.Why Gertrude's friends were mostly books.
D.How Gertrude spent her days off school.
解析:选B 段落大意题。由第二段可知,格特鲁德生病在家看书时,瞥见窗外路过的火车的最后一节车厢,里面的陈设很温馨,给人一种小家的感觉,于是她便幻想住在火车车厢中会不会很棒。因此,本段主要介绍格特鲁德是如何产生住在火车车厢中这个想法的。
22.What happened to the Alden children?
A.They had to support themselves.
B.They lived in a boxcar on a train.
C.They had no families to live with.
D.They had many adventures on a train.
解析:选A 推理判断题。由第四段中的“the Alden children made a home ... in the woods”和“The oldest boy Henry worked ... things they needed”可知,这几个孩子独自住在森林里的一节废弃车厢里,年长的哥哥通过打工来维持兄妹几个的生活。
23.What can we learn about Gertrude Chandler?
A.She wrote most of her books with Frances' help.
B.She dropped out of school at a very young age.
C.She is known for her books for children.
D.She liked travelling by train.
解析:选C 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Gertrude wrote eighteen more books about the boxcar children”和“her wellloved books live on”可知,格特鲁德所著的《棚车少年》系列儿童读物在她去世后依然流传于世,且倍受喜爱。
B
You may ride your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.
No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. Although they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has become a cultural icon (象征物).
In London, to avoid the traffic jams above ground, people use the “underground”, also called the “tube”. The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway systems in the world and the underground is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the underground, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting across London. In London, you are never far from a tube station.
New York is famous for its yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the subway doesn't take you everywhere. Stopping a cab is easy; just stick out your arm like what you do in any other cities. But, with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, New York also has traffic jams.
Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, the cable car is never caught in traffic jams, and it provides better views than the subway.
But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit this city, you'd better rent a car. The city's public transport is terrible. It can take hours to get across the town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach Hotel and the city centre. That's why Angelenos (洛杉矶人) love their private cars more than any other people in the world.
语篇解读:本文是说明文,介绍了几个外国大城市的公共交通状况。
24.If you have a chance to visit London and want to avoid the traffic jams, you'd better ________.
A.ride a bicycle B.take a taxi
C.take the subway D.rent a car
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的内容可知,在伦敦,为了避开地面上拥挤的交通,人们都会选择乘坐地铁。它包括12条线路和275个车站,是畅游伦敦最简便快捷的途径。故选C。
25.Which type of transport has become a cultural icon of the Big Apple?
A.The noisy vehicles. B.Cable cars.
C.The subway. D.Yellow cabs.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知,纽约最著名的交通工具是yellow cabs。坐这种车出行快速、简便,你只需一招手便可以打到车。故D项正确。
26.People in Los Angeles like to hire private cars because of the following EXCEPT that ________.
A.the public transport is terrible
B.it is not expensive to take a private car
C.the subway covers a small part of the city centre
D.people have to spend hours getting across Los Angeles by bus
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章的最后一段可知,这个城市的公共交通状况糟透了:坐公交车穿越整个城市需要好几个小时;地铁只覆盖了市中心的一小部分。故B项符合题意。
27.The passage mainly tells us ________.
A.how big cities in foreign countries develop their transport
B.how people in cities avoid traffic jams
C.why London has the oldest and most complicated subway systems
D.why people call New York the Big Apple
解析:选B 主旨大意题。根据文章的第一、二段内容可知,本文的中心话题是世界上所有的大城市现在都有交通问题。为解决这一难题,作者列举了伦敦、纽约、旧金山和洛杉矶等一些大城市的做法。由此可知,B项为最佳选项。
C
When it comes to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary. But this question never happens about their mother tongue, and yet, it was a foreign language once. However, among all the questions that new parents ask, no doctor has ever heard:“Will my baby be able to learn my language?” Be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is:“No.”
New words, and new ways of using old words, appear every day. Twenty years ago, who would have been able to understand a sentence like this:“Click here to download your digital book”? Nobody. You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it.
Sometimes, you have the word on the tip of your tongue ... and it sticks there! But you do know this phenomenon (现象) and don't think that it is because of a bad memory. You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.
You need to learn only 2,000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need. You can't avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method, be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any methods baseds upon mnemonics (记忆术). The first words seem very easy to learn, so you buy the course, but then you discover quickly, though too late, that a dozen words later, it is all the more difficult to learn a new word.
