What is The French Lieutenants Woman?25. What did the end of the conversation show?Section BPassage OneAttention to detail is something everyone can and should do-especially in aught job market. Bob, a human resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. Its amazing how many candidates throw themselves out, he says. Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates dont bother to spell the companys name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I give up the candidate, Bob concludes. If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?”Can we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work towards, “To keep from losing the forest for the trees”, says Charles, a university professor, “we must constantly ask ourselves how the details were working on fit into the larger picture. If they dont, we should drop them and move to something else.”Too often we believe what accounts for others success is some special secret or a lucky chance. But rarely is success to mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What mentioned in the passage that makes Bob eliminate some candidates?27. What does “losing the forest for the trees” in the passage mean?28. How “losing the forest for the trees” can be avoided then?Passage Two All of us have heard about the problems of outdoor air pollution like automobile emissions and indoor pollution has been in the news enough over the past decade that most people have probably heard of that too. But what many people may not know is that the risks to health may be greater from air pollution indoors than outdoors, according to an environmental research. Although levels from individual pollutants may not threat too much, most homes have more than one source that contributes to indoor air pollution, and the accumulated effect can be serious indeed. Many cleaning products contain organic chemicals, which can be released during use. The research found levels of about a dozen common organic pollutants to be two to five times higher inside homes than outside. Some of these chemicals are highly poisonous, some merely annoying. People may suffer from irritated eyes, headaches, and dizziness after exposure. So read the label on the product carefully and pay attention to the instructions for using it. If it says to use the product in a well-aired area, go outside or open the windows.Some people are sensitive to chemicals emitted by new carpets. “The carpet industry has developed a voluntary testing program for emission levels,” says Feldman. “People now can choose to buy carpets that have the industrys seal of approval. Once the carpets in place, open the windows for a couple of days if possible. If not, use window fans or air conditioners to exhaust the fumes to the outdoors. By taking these steps, youll breathe more easily inside your home.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. Whats the potential danger of pollution that is unknown to most people?30. According to the passage, why does the indoor air pollution do more harm to ones health than the outdoor air pollution?31. How much is the indoor air pollution more serious than the outdoor air pollution?32. Whats the common immediate measure to deal with the cleaning products pollution and the carpet chemical pollution?Passage Three The train I was traveling on was already half an hour late. I had planned to arrive in Chicago at 7:00 in time to catch the 7:50 train to St. Louis, but there was no hope of that now. This was the first time Ive been in America, and I couldnt afford to be late for the international conference held in St. Louis on that day. Using broken English and rich gestures, I finally made the conductor understand my situation. He advised me to get off before Union Station and take a taxi. When the time came, he even helped me with my luggage. He wished me a good luck as I jumped off, and a few minutes later I was going towards the Union Station in a taxi. Luckily the taxi driver is a real helper who is proud of his driving skills and speed as well. It was almost 7:50 when we stopped outside the station; I paid the driver quickly, carried my bags and hurried inside. The St. Louis train.? was all I had time to say to the first porter I saw. You can imagine my disappointment when he pointed to a train that was just moving out of the station.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. What did the conductor think it was better for the speaker to do?34. What happened to the speaker then?35. What is the best title for the passage?Section C Great childrens books speak to the unconscious. Children can have strong feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and (36) helplessness, but they havent developed the rational thinking skills to (37) cope with these feelings. A fairy tale, or a great childrens book, guides the childs unconsciousness in a (38) structured way to resolve painful feelings. This frees the child to cope on a conscious level without being (39) overwhelmed by underlying feelings of anxiety and alienation. The Harry Potter books have all the elements of a (40) classic fairy tale, but they speak to modem children in a way that classic fairy tales probably do not anymore. Rowling uses very specific imagery to guide the reader from the ordinary world of the wounded ego down into the (41) mysterious world of the irrational unconscious. Harry is (42) transported to a place of wonder where he is special and even respected. Harry is fearful, but brave, as he faces the (43) immense learning and the dangers of this world. Rowling does a good job of (44) reassuring the child that he is safe in this place. As in any good fairy tale, it is very clear (45) that the reader is moving from the real world into fantasy, then back again to the real world (46) where he is stronger and more whole from his journey.Keys to Model Test - 02Part Listening ComprehensionSection A11.

What is item 6?W: Let me explain all of them to you. The first item is the cover charge. Number 2 is the beer. Then your starter, your main course and the vegetables. The main course was 4.50 not 3.50, so item 6 is the difference.M: Oh, I see. But how was I expected to know that?W: Yes, sir. They are a bit hard to follow sometimes.

Well, I suppose two of us could share, or one of us could sleep in the sitting-room. How much is the rent?M: I think they want 21 a week for it.W: Twenty-one. Oh, thats fine. That would be 7 each. I dont really want to spend more than 7.M: No, but you see the trouble is it might be a bit noisy. Woodside Road is really quite busy. Its on the bus route after all. With all that traffic going past I dont know if youd really like it.W: It doesnt matter. Wed be out all day. Itd be marvelous to be on the Number 10 bus route, we wouldnt have to walk at all and wed get to work so quickly. Oh thanks so much.

A leading United Kingdom animal welfare society surveyed thousands of women and guess what! An astonishing 90 percent of them said that men who love and own a cat are more sensitive than the men who dont have cats. Maybe these women thought that if a man cares about his kitties then chances are that he will care for a woman and for children. Women see cats as children or babies while men see cats as friends. Women clearly stated they could be easily attracted to such a sensitive and caring man. That is a good reason why you should go out and get a cat. They are real female magnets!Just dont forget that in order to get a cat you must be a pet lover and really
