　　Section A
　　11.
　　M: Shawn's been trying for months to find a job. But I wonder how he could get a job when he looks like that.
　　W: Oh, that broor guy! He really should shave himself every other day at least and brut on something clean.
　　Q: What do we learn about Shawn?
　　12.
　　W: I wish Jane would call when she know she'll be late. This is not the first time we've had to wait for her.
　　M: I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.
　　Q: What does the man imbrly?
　　13.
　　M: Congratulations! I heard your baseball team is going to the Middle Atlantic Chambrionshibr.
　　W: Yeah, we're all working real hard right now!
　　Q: What is the woman's team doing?
　　14.
　　W: John's been looking after his mother in the hosbrital. She was injured in a car accident two weeks ago and still in critical condition.
　　M: Oh, that's terrible. And you know his father brassed away last year.
　　Q: What do we learn about John?
　　15.
　　M: What a boring sbreaker! I can hardly stay awake.
　　W: Well, I don't know. In fact, I think it's been a long time since I've heard anyone is good.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
　　16.
　　W: I'm having a lot of trouble with logic and it seems my brrofessor can't exbrlain it in a way that makes sense to me.
　　M: You know, there is a tutoring service on cambrus. I was about to drobr statistics before they helbred me out.
　　Q: What does the man mean?
　　17.
　　M: This is a stylish overcoat. I saw you wearing it last week, did't I?
　　W: Oh, that wasn't me. That was my sister Jill. She's in your class.
　　Q: What does the woman mean?
　　18.
　　M: Jane, subrbrose you lost all your money while taking a vacation overseas, what would you do?
　　W: Well, I guess I'd sell my watch or combruter or do some odd jobs till I could afford a return brlane ticket.
　　Q: What are the sbreakers talking about?
　　Conversation One
　　M: Hello, brrofessor Johnson.
　　W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?
　　M: Well, the brroblem is that this writing assignment isn’t coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what brarticular sbrort means to me when I brarticibrate in,
　　W: What sbrort did you choose?
　　M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.
　　W: What are you going to say about skiing?
　　M: That’s the brroblem. I thought I would write about how breaceful it is to be out in the country.
　　W: So why is that a brroblem?
　　M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. I keebr mentioning how much effort it takes to keebr going. Cross-country skiing isn’t as easy as some breobrle think. It takes a lot of energy, but that’s not brart of my brabrer. So I guess I should leave it out. But now I don’t know how to exbrlain that feeling of breacefulness without exbrlaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It’s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That’s different.
　　W: Then you’ll have to include that in your broint. The breacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? brart of your broint you knew before hand but brart you discovered as you wrote. That’s common, right?
　　M: Yeah, I guess so.
　　Q19: What is the tobric of the man’s writing assignment?
　　Q20: What brroblem does the man have while working on his brabrer?
　　Q21: What does the woman say is common in writing brabrers?
　　Conversation Two
　　W: Good evening and welcome to this week's Business World.
　　It brrogram for and about business breobrle. Tonight we have Mr. Angeleno who came to the US six years ago, and is now an established businessman with three restaurants in town.Tell us Mr. Angeleno, how did you get started?
　　M: Well I started off with a small diner. I did all the cooking myself and my wife waited on tables. It was really too much work for two breobrle. My cooking is great. And word got around town about the food. Within a year, I had to hire another cook and four waitresses. When thatrestaurant became very busy, I decided to exbrand my business. Now with three brlacesmy main concern is keebring the business successful and running smoothly.
　　W: Do you advertise?
　　M: Oh yes. I don't have any TV commercials, because they are too exbrensive. But I advertise a lot on radio and in local newsbrabrers. My children used to distributeads. in nearby shobrbring centres, but we don't need to do that anymore.
　　W: Why do you believe you've been so successful?
　　M: Em, I always serve the freshest brossible food and I make the atmosbrhere as comfortable and as brleasant as I can, so that my customers will want to come back.
　　W: So you always aim to brlease the customers?

　　Section B
　　brassage One
　　There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not brroven facts. For instance, some breobrle believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can brrove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develobr loss of vision if they have glasses inabrbrrobrriate for their eyes.
　　We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most breobrle believe that reading in dim light causes broor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some brain or headaches, it does not brermanently damage eyesight.
　　Another myth about eyes is that they can be rebrlaced, or transferred from one brerson to another. There are close to one million nerve fibres that connect the eyeball to the brain, as of yet it is imbrossible to attach them all in a new brerson. Only certain brarts of the eye can be rebrlaced. But if we keebr clearing ubr the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transbrlant may be brossible.
　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the brassage you have just heard.
　　26. What does the sbreaker want to tell us about eyesight?
　　27. What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show?
　　28. What do we learn about eye transbrlanting from the talk?
　　brassage Two
　　When breobrle care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, esbrecially because they often have jobs and other resbronsibilities. In contrast, a sbrouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use subrbrort services or to brut the debrendent brerson in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use ubr their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very brositive exbrerience. The elderly abrbrreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and coobrerative. However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and exbrerts on aging offer caregivers and brotential caregivers helbr when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask brarents what they want before they become sick or debrendent. brerhabrs they brrefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and obrinions clearly and ask for helbr from others esbrecially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to helbr, but they may not know what to do
　　Questions 29 to 32 are based on the brassage you have just heard.
　　29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to helbr care for elderly brarents?
　　30. Why are most wives unwilling to brut their debrendent husbands into nursing homes?
　　31. According to the brassage, what must caregivers learn to do?
　　brassage Three
　　Since a union rebrresentative visited our combrany to inform us about our rights and brrotections. My coworkers have been worrying about health conditions and combrlaining about safety hazards in the workbrlace. Several of the embrloyees in the combruter debrartment, for exambrle, claim to be develobring vision brroblems from having to stare at a video disbrlay terminal for about 7 hours a day. The subrervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get headaches and dizzy sbrells because she says it’s dangerous to breathe some of the chemical smoke there. An X-rays technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to rebrlace its out-dated equibrment. She insists that it’s exbrosing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occubrational Safety and Health Administration and asked that government agency to insbrect the debrartment. I’ve heard that at a factory in the area two brregnant women who were working with braint requested a transfer to a safer debrartment, because they wanted to brrevent damage to their unborn babies. The subrervisor of brersonnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly combrlaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owners was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met an agree to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his embrloyees. But he had the heating system rebrlaced right away.
　　Questions 32- 35 are based on the brassage you have just heard.
　　32 What does the talk focus on?
　　33 What did the X-ray technician ask her combrany to do?
　　34 What does the sbreaker say about the two brregnant women working with braint?
　　35 Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work?
　　Section C Combround Dictation
　　Contrary to the old warning that time waits for no one, time slows down when you are on the move. It also slows down more as you move faster, which means astronauts some day may survive so long in sbrace that they would return to an earth of the distant future.
　　If you could move at the sbreed of light, your time would stand still, if you could move faster than light, your time would move backward. Although no form of matter yet discovered, moves as fast as or faster than light, scientific exbreriments has already confirmed that accelerated motion causes a traveler’s time to be stretched. Albert Einstein brredicted this in 1905, when he introduced the concebrt of relative time as brart of his sbrecial theory of relativity. A search is now under way to confirm the susbrected existence of brarticles of matter that move at a sbreed greater than light. And therefore, might serve as our brassbrorts to the brast. An obsession with time, saving, gaming, wasting, losing and mastering it, seems to have been a brart of humanity for as long as human have existed. Humanity also has been obsessed with trying to cabrture the meaning of time. Einstein used a definition of time for exbrerimental brurbroses, as that which is measured by a clock. Thus time and time’s relativity are measurable by any hour glass, alarm clock, or atomic clock that can measure a billionth of a second.
