M: Mike and I are having a party next week. We wonder if you and Susan would be free to join us. M: Sounds great. But Id better talk to Susan before we say yes.Q: What does the man imply? 12. M: I really dont know what I should eat in the morning? What do you have for breakfast usually?W: That was also the problem that bothered me for a long time. Ive tried bread, porridge and everything and finally I settled on eggs and milk.Q: What does the woman mean?13. M: The tickets for that rock concert finally go on sale at 5 oclock next Saturday.W: As far as I know, anyone who wants one had better get it sooner than that. Thats their first and only performance here.Q: What does the woman imply? 14. W: How does Jim know that girl? They are in different departments.M: It would be unusual for Jim not to know pretty girls like Daisy. Besides, Jim is also a tall and handsome boy and a lot of girls like to make friends with him.Q: What does the man say about Jim? 15. M: I am afraid there wont be time to do another tooth today. Make sure you dont eat anything like steaks for the next few hours, and well fill the other cavity tomorrow. W: All right. Actually, I must hurry to the library to return some books.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?16. M: Toms voice sounds awful. I could barely hear him.W: Yes, hes got a terrible sore throat. The doctor said he shouldnt even attempt to whisper.Q: What does the woman imply about Tom?17. M: Do you know if Sarah has reserved the room for the committee meeting yet?W: No. But if she hasnt, we should have her try to get the auditorium. Well need the space.Q: What does the woman want Sarah to do?18. M: Good afternoon, Madam. Can I help you?W: Oh, yes, please. I bought this pair of leather shoes for my husband the other day. They are smart, arent they? But he doesnt like the color. Have you got black ones?Q: What does the woman want to do? Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneM: One of the most common questions we ask about peoples behavior is why. Why did she say this? Why did he do that? Sometimes the reason is obvious. For example, someone is driving down the street, the light turns red, and they stop, why?W: Because they have to, legally I mean.M: Exactly! In this case the reason is obvious, so usually we dont question it. But when the reason is not so obvious and especially when the behavior could have negative consequences, well more likely to feel a need to explain the cause of the behavior. Social psychologists have a term for this, for the process of explaining the causes of the behavior, its called “causal attribution”. And one theory suggests, theres a pattern in the way we go about attributing causes to peoples behavior. According to this theory, there are two categories of reasons: internal factors and external factors. Again, Lisa, say youre driving down the road and all of a sudden some guy turns into the lane right in front of you, and you have to slam on your brakes to avoid an accident. How do you react?W: Ill probably get very angry.M: BecauseW: Well, hes not paying attention, hes a bad driver.M: So you automatically attribute the drivers behavior to an internal factor. He himself is to blame because he is careless.W: So if I said it was because of heavy traffic or something, Id be attributing his behavior to an external factor, something beyond his control.M: Good. Now how do we usually explain our own negative behavior? W: We blame external factors.M: Thats right.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What is the main topic of the discussion?20. According to the professor, when are people likely to try to explain someone elses behavior?21. What does the man use the example of a driver who stops at a red light to demonstrate?22. According to the discussion, how do most people explain their own negative behavior?Conversation TwoW: Oh, Rex, I have been looking for you for hours. Where have you been?M: Hi, Judie. I went shopping with my friend. Whats up?W: I have this great job lined up to manage the book store at the mall.M: Fantastic! You know what, Ive applied for that position, too. But I was rejected. Youre so lucky. So whats the problem?W: Well, one of my professors in the department just told me about a winter internship program thats available. He thinks I might be able to intern in the office of the IBM branch here in town.M: That sounds like a great opportunity too. What are you waiting for? Why not take advantage of it?W: Id love to, especially as Im studying computer science. It would be a great way to get some practical experience in my field.M: And you never know, it might lead to something with them after graduation. They are one of the biggest companies in the world. IBM! Thats my dream company!W: Youre right. But the drawback is I wouldnt be making nearly as much money as I would working in the book store, not to mention the discount I could get on books there.M: Forget about the money! Were talking about your future here.W: Yes, I know. ButM: How much is the internship paid?W: They pay their internship about $600 for the whole winter holiday and give free room and board for the holiday.M: Well, if I were you, I would take the internship anyway. You could always get a job during the school year next year to make a few extra bucks.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. Whats the problem with Judie?24. Whats the disadvantage of the job in IBM office according to Judie?25. What does Rex suggest Judie do?Section BPassage OneImagine this: you wake up each morning to find your sister lying beside you. To get dressed and tie your shoes, you use one hand and she uses another. You do everything out together, even sitting on the same chair at lunch and riding on the same bicycle. Thats what life is like for six-year-old Betty and Abby. Like most twins, the two girls look very much alike. But unlike most twins, Betty and Abby share parts of the same body. Twins like Betty and Abby are rare. Only about 40 sets are born in the United States each year. Few survive as long as Betty and Abby. Thats because twins often share vital organs, like a heart or brain. The shared organs are often badly shaped and may not be strong enough to support both twins. But Betty and Abby each has her own head, heart and stomach which function normally. They have three or four lungs which provide plenty of oxygen for both twins. Most of their completely shared organs lie below the waist. Betty and Abby live relatively normal lives. They attend a regular school, and each does her own school work. They prefer to do some projects together, though. For example, to cut out paper dolls, one twin holds the paper, while the other uses the scissors. But sometimes the girls dont want to do the same thing. For example, sometimes they want to play with different toys. What do they do then? “We toss a coin,” says Abby.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. In what aspect do Betty and Abby differ from most twins?27. What does the passage tell us about twins who share parts of the same body?28. What does the passage say about the education of the twin girls?Passage TwoId like to share with you today my experience with a new approach to building a house. Its called Envelop Building. Essentially, what it means is that as you are building a house, you try to leave the landscape feature on the land, especially the vegetation, in the original condition. So what you are not doing is the usual practice of land-scraping, by which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of any and all the original plants. Why is the approach called Envelop Building? Because instead of clearing everything away, you let your original landscape elements envelop or surround your house. Let the vegetation physical features such as hills and slopes or interesting rock formations, constituted a significant part of the character of the building sight. The design of the house should take these features of the property into account. Actually integrating your original wild landscape with a house is not that new. The famous American architect Wright was doing it about 65 years ago. So we are in good company. Envelop Building is not as easy as it sounds though. Its not just that you build your house and leave the land alone. By building, you are already damaging the original landscape. But as architects, we should try to work with environment, not against it. A creative architect can find ways to incorporate natural landscape into the overall design. For example, Wright used the massive boulders on the side of one of the most famous houses as part of the house foundation.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. According to the speaker, what does the term “land-scraping” refer to?30. In Envelop Building, what is done with the landscape features of a building site?31. Why does the speaker mention the architect Wright?Passage Three “Music lessons may improve memory and learning ability in young children by promoting different patterns of brain development,” a study shows. After a year of musical training, children aged between 4 and 6 performed better at a standard memory test than did children who were not taught music. The findings suggest that music could be useful for building the learning capacity of young minds. Earlier studies have shown that older children given music lessons become better at IQ tests than those who are musically untrained, but this is the first to show such a benefit in children so young. Professor Laurel Trainor, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, also found clear differences in the ways in which childrens brains responded to sound after a year of musical training. “This is the first study to show that brain responses in young musically trained and untrained children change differently over the course of a year,” she said. “These changes are likely to be related to the cognitive benefit that is seen with musical training.”Professor Trainors team looked at 12 children, 6 of whom had just started extra-curricular music lessons and 6 of whom were not being taught any music except that included as a standard part of their school curriculum. During the year all 12 children had their brains examined four times using MEG, and each child was played two types of sound white noise and a violin tone. The MEG measurements showed that all children responded more to violin sounds than to white noise, reflecting a preference for meaningful tones, and their response times fell over the course of the year as their brains matured.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What is this passage mainly about?33. What can be concluded from the passage?34. What do we know about the twelve children tested in the study?35. What do we know from the MEG measurements?Section CThe place of the child in society has varied for thousands of years and has been affected by different cultures and religions. In ancient times unwanted children were occasionally (36) abandoned, put to death, exploited, or offered for religious sacrifices, and in any event a large percentage of them didnt (37) survive their physically hazardou
