The alarm blows the horn intermittently and flashes the headlights, tail lights and other exterior lights. The engine cannot be started because the starter circuit will be cut. SETTING THE SYSTEM1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.3. Close and lock the front, sliding and back doors and hood.The indicator light will come on when the front, sliding and back doors and hood are closed and locked.As the front doors are locked, the system will give you a preparation time of 30 seconds before the setting, during which the front, sliding and back doors and hood may be opened to prepare for the setting. Be careful not to use the key when opening either front door. This will cancel the system. 4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the vehicle. The system will automatically be set after the preparation time elapses. The indicator light will flash to show the system is set. If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened at that time, the setting is interrupted until it is closed and locked. Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlocking from the inside will activate (使起动) the system.WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SETActivating the system The system will give the alarm and cut the starter circuit under the following conditions: If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is unlocked without using the key If the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected After one minute, the alarm will automatically stop with the starter circuit cut kept on.Reactivating the alarm Once set, the system automatically resets the alarm each time the front, sliding and back doors and hood are closed after the alarm stops. The alarm will be activated again under the following conditions: If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened If the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnectedStopping the alarm Turn the ignition key from the “LOCK” to “ACC” position. The alarm will be stopped with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stopping the alarm in this manner will keep the alarm from being reactivated when any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened. Interrupting the setting With the system set, the back door can be opened with the key without activating or canceling the system. While it is open, the front and sliding doors and hood may be opened in addition, and the system can be activated only by the battery terminal disconnection. To resume the setting, close and lock the front, sliding and back doors and hood. The back door must be closed with the key removed.CANCELLING THE SYSTEM Unlock either front door with the key, or unlock the sliding door with the key when it has been closed. This cancels the system completely and the starter circuit cut will be cancelled at once.INDICATOR LIGHTThe indicator light gives the following three indications when the system is in use. When the light is: FLASHINGThe system is set. You need the key to open the front, sliding and back doors and hood. ONThe system will automatically be set when the time comes. The front, sliding and back doors and hood may be opened without a key. OFFThe system is inactive. You may open any door and hood.TESTING THE SYSTEM1.Open the drivers and front passengers windows.2.Set the system as described above. The front doors should be locked with the key. Be sure to wait until the indicator light starts flashing.3.Unlock one of the front, sliding and back doors from the inside. The system should activate the alarm.4.Cancel the system by unlocking either front door with the key.5.Repeat this operation for the other doors and hood. When testing on the hood, also check that the system is activated when the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected. If the system does not work properly, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.1. The system is used to deter the vehicle theft according to the instructions.2. In order to set the system, you should have all passengers get out of the vehicle.3. The system will be cancelled when you use the key to open the back door.4. The system will be not be activated unless you use the key to open any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood.5. In order to stop the alarm, you have to turn the ignition key from the “ACC” to “LOCK” position.6. When the indicator light is flashing, it is needless to use the key to open any of the doors and hood.7. The passage tells us that the system works so effectively that it never breaks down.Part Listening Comprehension（35 minutes）Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.At the end of each conversation,one or more questions will be asked about what was said.Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.After each question there will be a pause.

Global warming can seem too49 to worry about, or too uncertainsomething projected by the same computer50 that often cant get next weeks weather right. On a raw winter day you might think that a few degrees of warming wouldnt be such a bad thing anyway. And no doubt about it: Warnings about51 change can sound like an environmentalist scare tactic, meant to force us out of our cars and restrict our lifestyles. Comforting thoughts, perhaps. Unfortunately, however, the Earth has some discomforting news. From Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes the world is heating up right now, and fast. Globally, the52 is up 1F over the past century, but some of the coldest, most remote spots have warmed much more. The results arent pretty. Ice is53 , rivers are running dry, and coasts are54 , threatening communities. The55 are happening largely out of sight.

A. remote B. techniques C. consisting D. rest E. willingF. climate G. skill H. appetite I. melting J. vanishingK. eroding L. temperature M. curiosity N. changes O. skillfulSection BDirections:There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D) .You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.My fathers reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite: “You wont catch me putting my money in there!” he declared, “Not in that glass box!”Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money. In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity(实物) that could be carried, or stolen. Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a buildings design made it appear impenetrable, the institution was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money. But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit(赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavywalled bank.Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion(人们的说法) begins.57. The main idea of this passage is that . A) money is not as valuable as it was in the pastB) changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banksC) the architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bankD) prejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable58. How do the older generation and the younger one think about money?A) The former thinks more of money than the latter. B) The younger generation values money more than the older generation.C) Both generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money.D) To the former money is a real commodity but to the latter the means of producing more money.59. The word “tangible” (Line 2, Para. 4 ) refers to something . A) that is preciousB) that is usable C) that can be touchedD) that can be reproduced60. According to this passage, a modern banker should be . A) ambitious and friendlyB) reliable and powerfulC) sensible and impenetrableD) imaginative and creative61. It can be inferred from the passage that the authors attitude towards the new trend in banking is . A) cautiousB) regretfulC) positiveD) hostilePassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyles husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a goodbye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from homet
