A 2. D 3. C 4. D 5. A 6.B 7. D 8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C Script of the dialogue:prerequisitesomething that is required in advance先决条件,前提tombstonea stone that is used to mark a grave墓碑aidesomeone who acts as assistant 助手aforesaidbeing the one previously mentioned or spoken of;上述的,前述的spin 有倾向性地陈述；（尤指）以有利于自己的口吻描述Interviewer: With all your experience of interviewing, Michael, how can you tell if somebody is going to make a good interviewer?Parkinson: Oh, I say, what a question! Ive never been asked that before. Urn, I think that the prerequisite obviously is curiosity. I think thats the, er, a natural one, not an assumed one. I think the people who have, um, done my joband the graveyard of the BBC is littered with them, their tombstones are there, you knowwho failed to have been because basically theyve not been journalists. Um, my training was in journalism. Ive been 26 years a journalist and er, to be a journalist argues that you like meeting people to start with, and also you want to find out about them. So thats the prerequisite. After that, I think theres something else that comes into it, into play, and I think, again, most successful journalists have itits a curious kind of affinity with people, its an ability to get on with people, its a kind of body warmth, if you like. If you knew the secret of it and could bottle it and sell it, youd make a fortune.Interviewer: When youve done an interview yourself, how do you feel whether its been a good interview or not a good interview?Parkinson: I can never really tell, er, on air. I have to watch it back, because television depends so much on your director getting the right shot, the right reaction. You cant; its amazing. Sometimes I think “Oh, thats a boring interview” and just because of the way my director shot it, and shot reaction, hes composed a picture thats made it far more interesting than it actually was.Interviewer: How do you bring out the best in people, because you always seem to manage to, not only relax them, but somehow get right into the depths of them.Parkinson: By research, by knowing, when you go into a television studio, more about the guest in front you than theyve forgotten about themselves. And, I mean thats pure research. I mean, you probably usein a 20-minute interview, I probably use a 20th of the research material that Ive absorbed, but thats what youre gonna have to do. I mean I once interviewed Robert Mitchum for 75 minutes and the longest reply I got from him was “yes”. And thatthats the only time Ive used every ounce of research and every question that Id ever thought of, and a few that I hadnt thought of as well. But that really is the answerits research. When people say it to you, you know, “Oh you go out and wing it, I mean thats nonsense. If anybody ever tries to tell you that as an interviewer just starting, that you wing it, theres no such thing. Its all preparation; its knowing exactly what youre going to do at any given point and knowing what you want from the person.Interviewer: And does that include sticking to written questions or do you deviate?Parkinson: No, I mean what you do is you have an aide memoir. I have, mymy list of questions arent questions as such, theyre areas that I block out, and indeed, I cant remember, I cant recall, apart from the aforesaid Mr. Mitchum experience, when Ive ever stuck to that at all. Because, quite often youll find that they spin off into areas that youve not really thought about and perhaps its worth pursuing sometimes. The job is very much like, actually, traffic cop; youre like youre on point duty and youreyou know, youre directing the flow of traffic when youre directing the flow of conversation. Thats basically what youre doing, when youre doing a talk-show, in my view.Interviewer: Have you got a last word of encouragement for any young people setting out on what theyd like to be a career as an interviewer?Parkinson: I, I, envy them, I mean, I really do. I mean Id go back and do it all again. I think its the most perfect job for any young person whos got talent and ambition and energy. And the nice thing about it is that the proportion of talent is only five percent; the other 95 percent is energy and no examinations to pass. Id love to do it over again.Part 2 Passage Emily DavisonEx. A. Pre-listening Question What do you know about the Womens Rights Movement?

D: After-listening Discussion1. Why did Emily jump down an iron staircase and run out on the course at the derby?Because Emily was convinced that women would not win the vote until the suffragette movement had a martyr. She therefore committed those acts in order to give the movement more publicity.2. What do you think about Emily Davison? Open.Script of Passage:So greatly did she care for freedom that she died for it. So dearly did she love women that she offered her life as their ransom. That is the verdict given at the Great Inquest of the Nation on the death of Emily Wilding Davison.Emily Davison was born at Blackheath in 1872. Successful at school she won a place at Holloway College to study literature. But two years later she was forced to leave after her recently widowed mother was unable to find the 20-a-term fees. Emily found work as a schoolteacher in Worthing. Eventually she raised enough money to return to university education. After graduating from London University she obtained a post teaching the children of a family in Berkshire.Emily joined the Womens Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1906 and in June 1908 she was one of the chief stewards at a WSPU demonstration in London. The following year Emily gave up full-time teaching so that she could devote more of her time to the WSPU.In March1909, Emily was arrested while attempting to hand a petition to the Prime Minister. Emily was found guilty of causing a disturbance and sentenced to one-month imprisonment. In September 1909 she received a sentence of two months for stone throwing. She was released after going on hunger strike. A few days after leaving prison, Emily Davison, Mary Leigh and Constance Lytton were caught throwing stones at a car taking David Lloyd George, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to a meeting in Newcastle. The women were sentenced to one months hard labor. The women went on hunger strike but this time the prison authorities decided to force-feed the women. In an attempt to avoid force-feeding, Emily used prison furniture to barricade the door of her prison cell. A prison officer climbed a ladder and after forcing the nozzle of a hosepipe through a window, filled up the cell with water. Emily was willing to die, but before the cell had been completely filled with water the door was broken down. The scale of her militant acts increased and in December 1911 she was arrested for setting fire to pillar boxes. She was sentenced to six months and during her spell in prison she went on two hunger strikes. Emily Davison was now convinced that women would not win the vote until the suffragette movement had a martyr. Emily took the decision to draw attention to the suffragette campaign by jumping down an iron staircase. Emily landed on wire netting, 30 feet below. This prevented her death but she suffered severe spinal injuries. Once she had recovered her health, Emily Davison began making plans to commit an act that would give the moment maximum publicity. In June 1913, at the most important race of the yearthe Derby, Emily ran out on the course and attempted to grab the bridle of Anmer, a horse owned by King George V. The horse hit Emily and the impact fractured her skull and she died without regaining consciousness.Section Three NewsNews Item 1Ex.

He wants a 20% fall by this time next year. Retired policemen are being brought back and members of Malaysias peoples volunteer corps are being enlisted to fight on the frontline. Theyll join police on street patrols.The problem is though, most of the first batch were not considered up to it. Of 500 volunteers who were sent for assessment, just 142 were fit enough. The rest were too fat, unfit or had what the head of the corps told an English language newspaper was poor overall presentation and grooming. Corps members wear military uniforms but most of them are unpaid volunteers with limited powers.Street crime, particularly mugging, is seen as a serious problem in Malaysias major cities.The opposition has called for the countrys top policeman to be replaced because of the failure to tackle the issue.News Item 3Ex.

In documents released today the police have said that three of the suspects were stopped and questioned near the plant last December.

On the way home from school she takes a short cut through a barley field where she is startled by a neighbor, Mr. Harvey.It will be her last encounter on this Earth. Caught in some in-between place, Susies spirit watches as her family copes with their loss and her murderer goes on with his life. The title comes from one of her thoughts during this time: These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections - sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent - that happened after I was gone.Saoirse Ronan stars as Susie Salmon. The Irish actress, now 16 years old, first gained international acclaim for her performance in the 2007 drama Atonement.I have never felt so much responsibility with a character as I have with TheLovely Bones, Ronan says.She explains that not only is her character seen or heard in just about every scene of the film, but also there was the original novels worldwide legion of fans to consider.More than anything else I was just worried that I wasnt portraying her to her full potential, explains Ronan. I think its important for everyone that Susie is the way she should be. Of course, people are going to have different ideas of what she should be like &hellip the readers, really. It was something that was always on my mind.American actor Stanley Tucci co-stars as the murderer: a mundane character almost invisible to his neighbors.The more real he is and the more subtle he is then the more terrifying he is, says Tucci. The more banal he is, the more terrifying he is. There is no doubt and Ill say without question that it was the most difficult thing Ive ever done as an actor.Peter Jackson directs and is also the co-writer of the film script, which he admits is no substitute for the vastly more detailed novel by Alice Seybold.To me, to adapt a book is not a question of producing a carbon copy of the book, he notes. It is a personal impression that Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh and myself - the three of us wrote the screenplay. We read the book; we responded to aspects of the book, especially emotional themes and things it had to say about the afterlife &hellip that aspect of it, which is very personal to anybody. Thats what we responded to. So to me, no adaptation can ever be perfect. It is impossible. You dont make a movie for the fans of the book. You just can not do that.The Lovely Bones also features Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz as Susies bereaved parents. Rose McIver is her younger sister, who uncovers the truth about Susies fate; and Susan Sarandon plays their flamboyant grandmother. The films Earthly locations were shot in the US state of Pennsylvania; director Jackson used his native New Zealand for the ethereal scenes of the world beyond.Part 2 PassageExercise B Dictation1.
