Well, I don’t want a racer or a touring bike or anything.Mostly I’ll just be using it to get me back and forth from work.How far is that? About four miles.Are there a lot of hills on the way? Some I guess.But, um, maybe I should just tell you in front that I’ve only got a hundred and fifty dollars.Can I get anything decent for that? Well, you’re not going to get anything top of the line.But we do have a few trade-ins in the back that are in good condition.That sounds good.And you’re right.For the kind of riding you’re going to be doing, the most important thing is comfort.You want to make sure it’s the right height for you.Follow me and I’ll show you what we’ve got.31.Why is Laura at the bicycle shop?(A)She's waiting for her father.(B)She's having her bicycle repaired.(C)She wanted to surprise John.(D)She works there.32.Why does John want to buy a bicycle?(A)To replace his stolen bicycle.(B)To begin bicycling to work.(C)To join a bicycle club.(D)To train for a bicycle race.33.What does Laura suggest that John do?(A)Buy a used bicycle.(B)Buy a racing bicycle.(C)Replace the tires on his bicycle.(D)Sell his old bicycle to the shop.34.What does Laura say is most important about a bike?.(A)It must be the right height.(B)It must have several gears.(C)It must have good tires.(D)It must be the right weight.Questions 35-39 Listen to a conversation between two students.Hi, Lynn.I saw you at registration yesterday.I sailed right through, but you were standing in a long line.Yeah.I waited an hour to sign up for a distance-learning course.Distance learning? Never heard of it.Well, it’s new this semester.It’s only open to psychology majors.But I bet it’ll catch on else where.Yesterday, over a hundred students signed up.Well, what is it? It’s an experimental course.I registered for child psychology.All I have got to do is watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons.The department shows them seven different times a day and in seven different locations.Don’t you ever have to meet with professor? Yeah.After each part of the series I have to talk to her and the other students on the phone, you know, about our ideas.Then we’ll meet on campus three times for reviews and exams.It sounds pretty non-traditional to me.But I guess it makes sense, considering how many students have jobs.It must really help with their schedules, not to mention how it will cut down on traffic.You know, last year my department did a survey and they found out that 80 percent of all psychology majors were employed.That’s why they came up with the program.Look, I’ll be working three days a week next semester and it was either cut back on my classes or try this out.The only thing is: doesn’t it seem impersonal though? I mean, I miss having class discussions and hearing what other people think.Well, I guess that’s why phone contact’s important.Any way, it’s an experiment.Maybe I’ll end up hating it.Maybe.But I’ll be curious to see how it works up.35.Where did the man see the woman yesterday?(A)On television.(B)At registration(C)In class.(D)At work.36.How was the distance-learning course different from traditional

concept of self-learning.(C)It allows more flexibility in students' schedule.(D)It doesn't require any examinations.38.Why did the woman decide to enroll in the distance-learning course?(A)It's a requirement for psychology majors.(B)She wasn't able to get into the traditional course.(C)She lives far from the university.(D)She has to work a lot of hours this semester.39.What does the man think is a disadvantage of distance learning?(A)It requires too much traveling.(B)It limits interaction(交流)among students.(C)It will increase class size.(D)It will encourage students to watch too much television.Part C Questions 40-43 Listen to a student report in the United States history class.So, uh, as Jim said, James Polk was the eleventh president.And, um, my report’s about the next president Zachary Taylor.Taylor was elected in 1849.It’s surprising because he was the first president that didn’t have any previous political experience.The main reason he was chosen as a candidate was because he was a war hero.In the army his men called him old, rough and ready, I guess because of his rough edges.He was kind of blunt and he didn’t really look like a military hero.He liked to do things like wearing civilian clothes instead of uniform even in battle.And he was so short and plump that he had to be lifted up on his horse.But he did win a lot of battles and he became more and more popular.So the Whig party decided to nominate him for the presidency, even though no one knew anything about where he stood on the issues.I couldn’t find much about his accomplishments, probably because he was only in office about a year and a half before he died.But one thing, he pushed for the development of the transcontinental railroad because he thought it was important to form a link with the west coast.There was a lot of wealth in California and Oregon from commerce and minerals and stuff.Also he established an agricultural bureau in the department of the Interior and promoted more government aid to agriculture.Well, that’s about all I found.Like I said he died in office in 1850, so his vice president took over.And that’s the next report.So, thank you.40.Why was Zachary Taylor chosen by his party as a candidate for president?(A)He was well known on the West Coast.(B)He served as James Polk's Vice President.(C)He supported financial aid to farmers.(D)He was a popular war hero.41.According to the speaker, why is it surprising that Taylor was elected president?(A)He was not interested in political reform(改革)(B)He had an unusual military career.(C)He had no political experience.(D)He expressed many controversial(争论的)ideas.42.Why did Taylor accomplish relatively little as president?(A)He lost the support of farmers.(B)He was opposed by the Whig party.(C)He died early in his term.(D)He came into conflict with railroad owners.43.What will the class probably do next?(A)Listen to a talk about another President.(B)Write a report about Taylor's accomplishments(C)Discuss the differences between Polk and Taylor.(D)Begin working on their reports about Vice President.Questions 44-46 Listen to a talk at a special event.I want to welcome each and every balloon enthusiast in Philadelphia.Thank you for coming here this morning to commemorate the first balloon voyage in the United States.On January ninth, 1793, at ten o’clock in the morning, a silk balloon lifted into the skies above this city, which was at that time the capital of the country.According to the original records of the flight, the voyage lasted 46 minutes, from its departure in Philadelphia to its landing across the Delaware River in New Jersey.Though our pilots today will try to approximate the original landing site, they are at the mercy of the winds, so who knows where they’ll drift off too.Even the balloonist in 1793 experienced some uncertain weather that day.There were clouds, fog and mist in various directions.Our reenactment promises to be nothing less than spectacular.The yellow balloon directly behind me is five storeys high.It’s inflated with helium, unlike the original, which was filled with hydrogen and unbeknownst to the pilots, potentially explosive.Gas filled models are pretty uncommon now because of the extremely high cost.So the eighty other balloons in today’s lunch are hot air heated by propane burners.These balloons are from all over the country.44.What is the purpose of the balloon lunch?(A)To commemorate(纪念)a historic flight.(B)To try out(试验)eighty new balloons.(C)To recruit(回复,吸收)balloonists from all over the United States.(D)To determine whether helium balloons are better than hot-air balloons.45.What problem might today’s pilots encounter?
(A)They may not be able to inflate their balloons.(B)There are too many balloons to launch at once.(C)Their flight pattern could be uncertain due to the wind.(D)They'll lose money if some balloons can't take off.46.What does the speaker imply about helium balloons?.(A)They're expensive.(B)They were the first kind of balloon ever used.(C)They're faster than air balloons.(D)They're popular in the United States.Questions 47-50 Listen to part of a lecture in a geology class.I’m glad you brought up the question of our investigations into the makeup of the earth’s interior.In fact, since this is the topic of your reading assignment for next time, let me spend these last few minutes of class talking about that.There were several important discoveries in the early part of the century to help geologists develop a more accurate picture of the earth’s interior.The first key discovery had to do with seismic waves.Remember, they are the vibrations caused by earthquakes.Well, scientists found that they travel thousands of miles through the earth’ s interior.This finding enabled geologists to study the inter parts of the earth.You see, these studies revealed that these vibrations were of two types: compression or P waves and shear or S waves.And researchers found that P waves travel through both liquids and solids while S waves travel only through solid matter.In 1906, a British geologist discovered that P waves slowed down at a certain depth but kept traveling deeper.On the other hand, S waves either disappeared or were reflected back.So he concluded that the depth marked the boundary between a solid mantle and the liquid core.Three years later, another boundary was discovered, that between the mantle and the earth’s crust.There are still a lot to be learned about the earth.For instance, geologists know that the core is hot.Evidence of this is the molten lava that flows out of volcanoes.But we are still not sure what the source of the heat is.47.What is the purpose of the talk?(A)To review what students know about volcanic activity.(B)To demonstrate the use of a new measurement device.(C)To explain the answer to an examination question.(D)To provide background for the next reading assignment.48.What important discovery about seismic waves does the instructor mention?(A)They occur at regular intervals.(B)They can withstand great heat.(C)They travel through the Earth's interior.(D)They can record the Earth's internal temperature.49.What did the study of seismic vibrations help geologists learn more about?(A)When the Earth was formed.(B)The composition of the Earth's interior.(C)Why lava is hot.(D)How often a volcano is likely to erupt.50.What did P and S waves help scientists discover about the layers of the earth?(A)How deep they are.(B)Where earthquakes form.(C)How hot they are.(D)What purpose they serve.

insufficient.40.What can inferred about the first wood pulp mill in Canada?(A)It turned out high-quality paper.(B)It used wood imported from the United States.(C)It caused a serious deforestation problem.(D)There was a ready marker for its product.41.According to the speaker, what is the problem with lignin?(A)It is difficult to obtain.(B)Paper cannot be made without it.(C)It causes paper to deteriorate.(D)It prevents wood from being turned into pulp.42.According to the speaker, what problem do libraries face?(A)Many of their books are in poor condition.(B)They have too many books from the early 1800's.(C)They don't have enough space to store government documents.(D)They have to import most of the paper they use.43 to 47 Radio announcer talking about a current topic.A recent report has shown that here in the United States, we've experienced an evolution concerning our attitudes towards the workweek and the weekends.Although some calendars still mark the beginning of a week as Sunday, more and more of us are coming to regard Monday as the first day of the week with Saturday and Sunday comprising the two-day period thought as the weekend.In fact the word “weekend” didn't even exist in English until about the middle of last century.In England at that time, Saturday afternoons had just been added to Sundays and holidays as a time for workers to have off from their jobs.This innovation became common in the United States in the 1920s, but as the workweek were shortened during the Great Depression of the 1930s, the weekend expanded to two full days-Saturday and Sunday.Some people thought that this trend would continue due to increasing automation and the workweek might decrease to four days or even fewer.But so far this hasn't happened.The workweek seems to have stabilized as forty hours made up of five eight-hour days.After this commercial I'll be back to talk about the idea of adding Monday to the weekend.43.What is the speaker mainly discussing?(A)Attitudes toward employment.(B)Attitudes toward leisure activities.(C)Shifting job opportunities.(D)The evolution of the weekend.44.According to the speaker, what is changing in the way people think about the week?(A)Which days people should work.(B)How the week is divided into(分成)days.(C)Which day begins the work.(D)How many weeks there are in a month.45.According to the speaker, how has the amount of time people work changed from the early part of the century?(A)The weekend has decreased in length.(B)The number of national holidays has increased.(C)People work fewer days per week.(D)People work more hours each day.46.What does the speaker imply about the workweek in England in early 1800s?(A)It was six days long.(B)It didn't include Saturday afternoon.(C)It always included at least one holiday.(D)It didn't allow the workers time off.47.According to the speaker, what affect did some people think the increasing use of automation would have?(A)It would make the workday longer.(B)It would allow people to work on the weekend.(C)It would make leisure(空闲)activities expensive.(D)It would create much more free time.48 to 50 A professor talking to her music students.I don't think I have told you about my trip to Tangle wood's music festival.When I was in college, I won a music competition and the prize was a week at Tangle wood.Anyway it is one of the world's most famous music festivals and the summer pome the Boston Symphony Orchestra.It is located in the beautiful Berkshire Hills in New England.The summer musical season consists given over about mine weeks: from just 1st through the first week in September.The biggest stars on the music scene appear here.The year I went I was Lucky enough to see Leonard Bemstein conducting.I understand it is sometimes hard to get tickets but of course mine were a part of the prize.If you want to sit inside the tickets are expensive.It's much cheaper to sit outside on the lawn.But it might rain, or sometimes it is really cool even in the summer.Either way the sound system is excellent.So it doesn't really matter where you sit.I seem to recall that the festival got started in the 1930s.Some Berkshire residents invited a symphony orchestra to perform a few outdoor concerts.The concerts were so successful that after a couple of years that things really took off.And the festival has got bigger and better every year.Attending was such a wonderful experience.I'd love to be able to go again.And I hope that all of you would be able to go too.48.Why did the professor originally go to Tanglewood?(A)She went to college nearby.(B)She won a contest.(C)Her family vacationed there.(D)She was a friend of Leonard Bernstein's.49.According to the professor, what is the disadvantage of

festival?(A)It is held in Boston.(B)All the seats are indoors.(C)It is not well known.(D)It has been going on for a long time.51.What is the killdeer's nest in parking lot an example of?(A)

Today's lecture we'll center on the prehistoric(史前的)people of Nevada Desert.Now most of these prehistoric desert people moved across the countryside(农村)throughout the year.You might think that they're wandering(闲逛,漫步)aimlessly(毫无目的的).Far from it, they actually followed the series of carefully planned moves.Where they moved depended on where food was available.Places where plants were ripening(成熟)or fish were spawning(产卵).Now often when these people moved, they carried all their possessions(财产,所有物)on their backs.But if the journey was long, extra food and tools were sometimes stored in caves(山洞,窑洞)or beneath(在…的下方)rocks.One of these caves is now an exciting archaeological site.Beyond(晚于)its small opening is a huge underground(地下的)grotto(洞穴).Even though the cave is very large, it was certainly two dark(黑暗)and dusty(灰蒙蒙的)for the crawlers(爬行动物)to live in.But it was a great place to hide things.And tremendous(巨大的)amounts of food supplies and artifacts(手工艺品)have been found there.The food includes dried fish seeds(种子)and nuts(工艺品).The artifacts include stone spear(矛)points(尖)and knives.The spar(争论)points are actually rather small.Here is a picture of some that were found.You can see their size in relation to(有关,涉及)the hands holding them.42.What is the main subject of this talk?(A)Rock formations in the Nevada desert.(B)Graduate studies in anthropology.(C)Excavation techniques used in archaeology.(D)Prehistoric desert people of Nevada.43.What point does the speaker make about the prehistoric people of the Nevada Desert?(A)They planned their migrations.(B)They didn't travel far from their base camps.(C)They hid from their enemies in caves.(D)They planned seeds near their camps.44.Why didn't the people live in the cave described by the speaker?(A)They had trouble finding it.(B)Lack of light made it impossible.(C)It was too small for a group to fit into.(D)Items stored by others took up most of the space.45.What have archaeologists found in the cave?(A)Prehistoric desert people.(B)Migratory animals.(C)Food supplies and tools.(D)Growing plants.46.Why does the speaker show a photo to the class?(A)To illustrate the size of some objects.(B)To introduce the next assignment.(C)To show some artifact on display at the campus museum.(D)To demonstrate his photographic ability.Question 47 to 50 To us, the environment in which fish dwell(居住)often seems cold, dark and mysterious(神秘的,不可思议的).But there are advantages to living in water.And they've played an important role in making fish what they are.One is that water isn't subject to(易受…的)sudden temperature changes.Therefore it makes an excellent habitat(n 住处)for a cold blooded animal.Another advantage is the water's ability to easily support body weight.Protoplasm(原浆)has approximately the same density(密度)as water.So a fish in water is almost weightless(无重量的).This weightlessness in turn(依次)means two things: 1)A fish can get along with a light weight and a simple bone structure.And 2)Limitations(局限,限制)to a fish's size are practically(实际上)removed.Yet there is one basic difficulty to living in water the fact that it is incompressible(不能压缩的).For a fish to move through water, it must actually shove(猛推)it aside(adv在旁边,到一边).Most can do this by wiggling(折弯运动)back and forth(反复地,来回地)in snakelike motion.The fish pushes water aside by the forward motion of its head and with a curve of its body and its flexible tall.Next the water flows back along the fish's narrowing(狭小的)size, closing in at the tall and helping the fish propel(推动)itself forward.The fact that water is incompressible has literally(真正地)shaped(形成)the development of fish.A flat and angular(有角的)shape can be moved through water only with difficulty.And for this reason, fish have a basic shape that is beautifully adapted to deal with this peculiarity(特点,特性).47.What is the talk mainly about?(A)A comparison of fish to warm-blooded animals.(B)The difference between saltwater and freshwater environments.(C)The importance of fish to human beings.(D)How water has affected the development of fish.48.What does the speaker mention as a problem that water presents to fish?(A)It can't be compressed.(B)It is often polluted.(C)Its temperature often fluctuates dramatically.(D)It limits their size.49.The speaker compares a fish's movement with that of what creature?(A)A whale.(B)A human.(C)A snake.(D)A snail.50.What aspect of a fish does the speaker discuss in the most detail?(A)Its skeleton.(B)Its shape.(C)Its senses.(D)Its body temperature.

Questions 40-43 Listen to part of a lecture in a composition class.问题40-43听讲座的一部分在组合类。
By the end of the term, I hope you will be convinced as I am that formal writing always requires revision.Sometimes it requires a fairly major rewriting of the paper.Some students have the mistaken idea that revision means simply making corrections in spelling 到这学期末时,我希望你会相信我,正式写作总是需要修订。有时它需要一个相当大的重写的纸。一些学生错误地认为,简单的修订意味着在拼写补正
and grammar.I call that proofreading.What I expect you to do with your revise is to evaluate and improve the overall effectiveness of your paper.But how can you tell if your paper is effective?
和语法。我叫它校对。我希望你去做的修改是评价和提高你的论文的整体有效性。但是你怎么知道你的论文是有效的吗? Well, for example, start by asking yourself these questions: Is the topic restricted enough to be fully discussed within the given length? Are the main ideas clear? Are they supported by specific details and examples? Do they move smoothly from one idea to the next? 哦,例如,先问自己这些问题:主题是受限制的,足以充分讨论在给定的时间长度?是主要的想法清楚吗?他们所支持的具体细节和例子吗?他们顺利地从一个想法到下一个? You need enough time for a possible major overhaul.That is you may have to make a lot of changes before your paper becomes really clear to the reader.So I’ll expect a preliminary draft of each paper two weeks before the final due date.That way I can criticize it and get it back in time for you to revise it.Then you can submit a final draft for 你需要足够的时间因为可能要做大规模的检查。这是你可能必须做出很大的改变你的论文之前变得很明确的读者。所以我期待一份论文初步草稿在最后期限前两星期。这样我可以批评它,让它回到时间让你修改它。然后你可以提交一个最终草案 grading.分级。
This process may seem like a great deal of trouble at first, but I think you’ll find it valuable.In fact, after you finish this course, I doubt that you well ever turn in a term paper without first revising it carefully.这个过程可能看起来像一个很大的麻烦在第一,但我认为你会发现它的价值。事实上,在你完成这个课程,我怀疑你曾经把在一个学期论文没有首先仔细修订。40.What is the purpose of the talk? 40。什么是谈话的目的? 41.What should be the students’ main goal as they revise their work? 41。应该是怎样的学生的主要目标,他们修订他们的工作吗? 42.When should the first drafts be turned in? 42。当应该第一个草案将在吗? 43.What effect does the instructor think the class will have on the students?
43。什么影响教师认为这个类会对学生吗? Questions 44-46 Listen to part of a radio program about environmental issues.问题44-46听广播节目的一部分对环境问题。
Are electric cars the way of the future? Automobile manufactures are under pressure to develop cars that do not pollute.One powerful motive is a California law requiring that by the year 2000 ten percent of new car sells in the state be so called zero-emission vehicles.These cars must put no pollutants whatsoever into the atmosphere.电动汽车是未来的发展方向吗?汽车制造商正在开发汽车的压力下,不污染。一个强大的动机是加州法律要求,到2000年百分之十的新车销售在州是所谓的零排放车辆。这些汽车必须把没有任何污染物进入大气。
California is a huge market for the automobile companies, so they are working hard to meet these standards.So far the electric car seems to be the best alternative.So the big advantage of electric cars is that they don’t pollute.However they will be in competition with gas-powered cars and that’s where the weaknesses come out.加州是一个巨大的市场,为汽车公司,因此他们正在努力达到这些标准。到目前为止,电动汽车似乎是最好的选择。如此大的优势,电动汽车的是,他们不会引起污染。然而他们将在竞争与汽油的汽车,在那里出来的弱点。
The big problem is that the batteries that power electric cars weigh a lot relative to the amount of power they deliver.For instance, in one prototype electric car, the batteries weighed 400 kilograms.And they provide enough energy to go 250 kilometers before recharging, which takes eight hours.Compare that to a moderately fuel-efficient
这个大问题是,电动汽车的电池,供电重了很多相对的电量交付。例如,在一个原型的电动汽车电池重达400公斤。和他们提供足够的能量去250公里充电之前,需要八小时。相比之下,一个适度的省油
conventional car, it can go 600 to 700 kilometers on a tank of gas and refilling takes just minutes.If there are other drains on an electric car’s batteries besides the motor, headlights, air-conditioning or a heater, its already limited range will be significantly reduced.So automobile engineers are trying to make more powerful batteries that would
传统的汽车,它能行600到700公里的一箱汽油和注入只需要几分钟。如果有其他的排水管在电动汽车的电池除了电机、车头灯、空调、暖气,其已经有限的范围也将大大缩小。所以汽车工程师正在努力使更强大的电池, increase the cars’ range and make them more attractive to buyers.增加汽车的范围,使其更能够吸引买家。44.What is the talk mainly about? 44。什么是谈话主要是关于吗? 45.What is the main advantage of electric cars over gas-powered cars? 45。什么是电动汽车的主要优势在汽油为燃料的汽车吗? 46.What is the main drawback of the electric car? 46。什么是电动汽车的主要缺点? Questions 47-50 Listen to a talk given at a museum of natural history.问题47-50听讲座在自然历史博物馆。
I’d like to welcome you all to the Museum of Natural History.Today’s tour will take us through our newly renovated dinosaur exhibit where we have the largest collection of dinosaur fossils anywhere in the world.我想欢迎大家到自然历史博物馆。今天的旅行将带我们通过我们的新装修的恐龙展览的恐龙化石的最大的收集在世界任何地方。
Before we begin the tour, let me mention that there have been some major modifications to some of the exhibits over the past three years.Basically these changes were made because of recent changes in the way scientists interpret dinosaur behavior.在我们开始之前,旅游,让我提到了一些重大修改一些展品过去三年。基本上这些变化都是因为最近的方式上的改变科学家解释恐龙的行为。
For example, when we get to the first room, you’ll be able to see that the tyrannosaur’s rex skeleton is no longer standing upright with its tail dragging on the floor.That’s because paleontologists as they examined the area around its footprints more closely,例如,当我们到达的第一个房间,你就可以看到,雷克斯霸王龙的骨架是不再直立尾巴拖在地板上。这是因为古生物学家为他们检查其足迹周围地区的更加紧密, realized they could find no evidence of a heavy dragging tail which would have left behind marks in the earth.In its new position, the backbone is parallel to the floor, its head is pushed forward and its tail is stretched out acting as a counterweight.This new pose 意识到他们没有发现证据表明一个沉重的尾巴拖会留下的痕迹地球。在它的新位置,主干与地面平行,推动了它的头和尾巴伸出制衡。这个新的姿势
stresses the relationship between dinosaurs and modern birds and supports the theory that dinosaurs are actually more closely related to birds than to any other existing creature.强调恐龙之间的关系和现代鸟类和恐龙的理论提供了支持实际上更密切相关的鸟类比任何其他现有的生物。
Let me also point out that we have changed the way we grouped dinosaurs in our displays.There’s a new school of thought called kledistics where scientists determine
让我也指出,我们已经改变了我们在我们的显示分组恐龙。有一个新学派的科学家们kledistics称为确定
relationships among the animals according to common physical characteristics.The plesiosaurs and the oviraptour for instance, are separated by 148 million years.But they are grouped together here, because they both have a grass bean forefoot and an s-shape neck, physical evidence that they are indeed related.So now the exhibition
动物间的关系,根据常见的物理特性。oviraptour的蛇颈龙,例如,1.48亿年被隔离。但是他们被组合在一起来,因为他们都有一个草地bean前脚和一个“ s ”形的脖子,物理证据表明他们确实是相关的。所以现在展览
halls are arranged more like a family tree rather than the work-through tine that they used to be.大厅被安排更像一个家庭树而不是work-through齿,他们曾经是。47.Why has the museum modified its dinosaur exhibit? 47。为什么博物馆修改它的恐龙展览吗? 48.According to the speaker what is the tyrannosaur’s rex new position evidence of? 48。根据说话者的雷克斯霸王龙是什么新职位的证据吗? 49.Why are the plesiosaurs and the oviraptour displayed together? 49。为什么蛇颈龙和oviraptour展示在一起吗? 50.How were the dinosaurs originally grouped in the exhibit? 50。恐龙是如何最初把展览吗?
