(d)2. whats my doctors suggestion when we asked her for help? (a)3. whats the result of this visit? (a)4. what can be concluded from the whole passage? (b)5. according to the doctor, which of the following is our first goal? (b)task two listen to the passage again and then decide whether the following statements are true (t) or false (f).key:1.f2.f3.t4.t5.tpassage twotask one you are going to hear one passage. at the end of the passage, you will hear some questions. both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. after you hear each question, choose the best answer from the four choices marked a), b), c) and d).to check their understanding, students often wish to ask their teacher questions in class. however, many students would rather not ask in class because they may be concerned about being embarrassed or concerned about slowing the class down.for the benefit of everyone in the class, especially for the benefit of those who ask the questions, students should not hesitate to ask meaningful questions during a lecture or a presentation.dont be overly concerned about embarrassing yourself in the eyes of the teacher. throughout the teachers career, the teacher has been asked questions in class probably far more embarrassing than yours.furthermore, dont be too sensitive about embarrassing yourself in the eyes of your classmates, especially your friends. in all likelihood, the other students in the class have a question similar to yours, and they may admire you for having the courage to ask in class. moreover, your question may benefit the students who have not thought of it.an instructor may not answer your question immediately. dont view this as an indication that your question is not important. your question may be answered by subsequent material presented during that class, or perhaps the instructor is waiting for a more relevant and appropriate class time to respond to your question. in addition, some instructors set aside brief time periods, throughout their lecture, to deal with questions. keep in mind that the instructor may choose to discuss your question with you after class, perhaps in private.both the teacher and the students benefit a great deal from students questions during the class. most teachers welcome and appreciate students questions in class primarily because such questions guide the instructor toward a better presentation and improve lecture delivery.questions: 1. according to the passage, why do the students often ask questions in class? (c)2. why dont many students want to ask questions in class? (d)3. what may be the other students response if you ask teacher a question similar to theirs? (a)4. why doesnt the teacher answer you question immediately? (d)5. whats the authors attitude towards asking questions in class? (b)task two listen to the passage again and then decide whether the following statements are true (t) or false (f).key:1.f2.f3.t4.f5.tpart d compound dictationdirections: in this section, you will hear a passage three times. when the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. when the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 1 to 7 with the exact words you have just heard. for blanks numbered 8 to 10 you are required to fill in the missing information. for these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.“when asked what they (1) learnt from those early stories, peoples (2) responses were, i learnt about good and bad, or right and wrong, or i learnt about how to make the right decisions,” dr roeper said.“the stories we (3) encounter in childhood are important in establishing our feelings about how our lives should be lived. they (4) influence the way we see the world and how we see ourselves in the world,” she said.dr roepers research suggests that stories play the same (5) role in peoples lives across the different generations, but the way that people (6) access those stories has changed. for the elderly (7) participants, who grew up between the wars, childrens books were scarce and television didnt exist, so most of the stories that they remembered from their childhood were from storytelling around the dinner table in large family groups. “it was like living in a soap opera. the family stories from their childhood were the same stories that they recalled 50 to 60 years later, and (8) the values that they learnt from them had a major impact on their lives,” dr roeper said.radio was important for baby boomers and many more had access to childrens books after world war ii. (9) by the time they reached their teenage years, they had established a pattern of reading. “some of the people, who grew up watching soaps such as neighbours and home and away, (10) talked about those stories in exactly the same way that the older participants talked about stories told around the dinner table. the medium of delivery had changed but the role of the story and the message had remained with them.”unit 2 childhood (2)part a short conversationsdirections: in this section you will hear 10 short conversations. at the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. both the conversation and the question will be spoken only once. after each question there will be a pause. during the pause, you must read the four choices marked a), b), c) and d), and decide which is the best answer.1. m: can i go to the sports center this afternoon? i want to play football with my classmates there.w: ok, if you can finish your homework. i will check before you go out.q: can the boy go to play football this afternoon?
