How would you describe the mans apartment?21.

In your view, is this still true?M: It is one of the best places because of the quality of schools, the number of successful people who hung around and seeded others to be successful, and other reasons.

W: How has the connected world changed the opportunities for businessmen in remote locations?M: In the old days, it was very hard to get a voice or have that voice heard.

What should companies do because of the connected world according to the man?Section BPassage OneMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that theres a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “youve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a writer, I had no prospects at all: what I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didnt even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadnt gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasnt going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? I would keep putting my dream to the testeven though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. Why do some individuals want to be writers according to the speaker?27. Why did the author begin to doubt herself after the first year of her writing?28. What does the passage mean to imply?Passage TwoTea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops. And even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. Many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches. Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it. At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it. But one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. Why did some Britons cook tea leaves at the beginning?30. Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?31. Why did people in Europe begin to drink tea with milk?Passage ThreePurse snatching is an increasingly common crime. There are estimated 50 to 100 purse snatchings each month in the New York City subways. One of the favored techniques is to stand between two subway cars and, as the train starts pulling out of the station, reach out and pull free a womans purse. Recently, a crime analysis officer for the New York Police Department found that purse stealing in Manhattans top restaurants was up 5 percent over the previous year. When a woman puts her purse on a vacant chair at a table or at her feet beside her chair, she is inviting a purse snatcher to take it. Purse snatchers often work in pairs. When a target in a restaurant is sighted, one of them will create some kind of disturbance to gain the victims attention. While the woman is looking away from her table, the actual snatcher will lift the purse.A popular technique is for the thief, man or woman, to carry an umbrella with the curved handle down. The umbrella handle suddenly hooks the bag and in an instant it is on the thiefs wrist or under the coat over his arm if he is a man, and on its way out of the restaurant. Police advise that women in restaurants keep their purses either on their laps or on the floor between their legs.Other purse snatchers who operate in theaters are called “seat tippers”, victimizing women who put their purses down on an adjacent empty seat. Yet others specialize in snatching purses from ladiesrooms. When a woman is in a toilet stall, her purse should never be placed on the floor or hung on the coat hook on the door.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. Who is interested in the analysis of purse snatching?33. Where does using the umbrella handle to hook the bag often occur?34. Where are women in restaurants advised to put their purses?35. Which place do thieves steal purses in theaters?Section CThe Taj Mahal is to open on moonlit evenings 20 years after security fears ended night visits. Indias Supreme Court will allow the famous monument to love to open four nights a month, initially for three months. The Taj, built in the 1600s by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb for his wife, is a World Heritage site. Only 400 visitors will be let in each night, and parking restrictions will be imposed around the site.The Supreme Court announcement came as state officials in Uttar Pradesh were celebrating the Tajs 350th anniversary close to its site in the city of Agra. “This reopening of the Taj for moonlight viewing is going to draw fantastic crowds from across the globe,” State tourism minister Kaukab Hamid said, “We will ensure strict security and follow visitor guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court.” Tourist chiefs said more than 300,000 foreigners visited the Taj Mahal site in 2003, but numbers are down since the terror attacks in the US on 11 September 2003. Night visits to the Taj, once a romantic highlight of any visit to India, were banned in 1984 for some reason. The Sikh insurgency ended in the mid-1990s, but Indian authorities have remained reluctant to let visitors back to the Taj after sunset. During the height of tensions between India and Pakistan in 2001, officials drew up plans to disguise the Taj from possible Pakistani air attacks. Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal as an expression of love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. It is largely made of white stone that reflects the changes of colour visible during sunset and clear, moonlit nights. 大学英语六级预测试卷听力 Model Test 02参考答案：Section A11.B 12.D 13.D 14.B 15.D 16.D 17.C 18.D 19.B 20.C 21.A22.C 23.A 24.D 25.DSection BPassage One 26.D 27.C 28.A Passage Two 29.C 30.D 31.A Passage Three 32.A 33.C 34.D 35.ASection C36.vigorously37.reforms 38.action 39.forbidden 40.misuse41.broaden 42.wealthy 43.energetic44.the government should have the power to deal with conflicting economic forces in the nation and guarantee justice to each45.He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects46.Roosevelt soon recovered, but his words at that time would have been applicable at the time of his death in 1919听力材料：Model Test Two11.
