第一节
(Text 1)
M:I told you to wake me up at a quarter past seven.But now,the minute hand is pointing to two.
W:That’s right.But the hour hand is pointing to seven now!
(Text 2)
M:This is your bed,and the upper one is mine.
W:Good.I like the lower one.
M:There is a sheet and a blanket on each bed.The bedding is so clean.Oh,here comes the train attendant.
(Text 3)
M:I’m trying to figure out how to work the new machine,but just look at this instruction sheet.
W:What a useless piece of paper!
(Text 4)
M:Excuse me,how far is the nearest library
W:Well,there is a big library in the university,but the public can’t borrow books from there.But there is a public library 8 km away.You can go there by bus.
M:OK,I’ll go to the public library.Thanks a lot.
(Text 5)
W:Where can I buy a street map,please
M:Try the grocery store on the other side of the park,or the bookshop at the bus station.
W:Isn’t there anywhere closer that sells maps
M:Yes,of course!The supermarket across the road from here.But maps are a bit expensive there.
第二节
(Text 6)
M:Hi,Penny.What are you eating for dinner today
W:Tomato soup.
M:How is it
W:It’s delicious.I love hot soup on a cold day.
M:Me,too.But you usually eat a hot dog for dinner.
W:Yes.But today I want soup.
M:I might get a salad today.
W:A salad
M:Salads are healthy.I like chicken and bacon on my salad.
W:I had bacon for breakfast this morning.I also had eggs and some fruit.
(Text 7)
W:You hit my car!
M:I’m not responsible!You stopped too suddenly!
W:I didn’t stop too suddenly!You were following me too closely!
M:If you hadn’t hit the brake so hard,none of this would have happened.
W:A small child ran in front of my car!I had to stop suddenly.Anyway,the law states that if you hit a car from behind,you are responsible,no matter how quickly the car in front stops.
M:I’m not paying for any damage.
W:We’ll see about that when the police get here.
M:The police No! If I get one more ticket,I’ll lose my driver’s license!
W:Well,that’s too bad.Maybe this will teach you not to follow so closely!
(Text 8)
W:Welcome to our bank.How may I help you,sir
M:Well,I came in today to pay my credit card bill that came in the mail,but I just noticed that there seems to be a mistake on one of the charges.
W:I can definitely help you with that,sir.First,may I see your ID card and your bank card,please
M:Yes,here is my driver’s license and my Visa card.
W:Great.There is a total balance of $4,900.Is that correct
M:No,it’s not.There was a charge of $3,800 on October 20,but it really should have been $380.They must have added a zero by mistake,and I just didn’t notice when I signed the receipt.
W:This is not the first time I’ve heard of this happening.I will call the store on the Fifth Street and see what they have to say.Do you remember what you purchased that day
M:Yes,a watch.I even have the receipt here.
(Text 9)
M:Hi,I’m glad that I ran into you today.I have lots of questions and everyone has been telling me to talk to you.
W:What kinds of questions
M:You took an English class by Professor Sanford,did you
W:I sure did.
M:Well,I’ve heard lots about her and I’m thinking about taking her Basics in English class next term.What’s your opinion about the class
W:The class was interesting enough,but Professor Sanford is one of the most difficult teachers I have ever had.She expects a great deal from her students.So if you plan to take the course,be prepared to work very hard.But she’s an extremely intelligent person and she expects similar brilliance from her students.
M:Is she reasonable
W:Yes,she most definitely is.She was always available before,during and after classes to help us with any ideas we couldn’t understand.She was always open to different points.To be honest,I really liked her.I just don’t like all the readings we had to do in classical literature.
M:Well,I happened to like classical literature.
W:Really I was more interested in cultural comparison and we barely touched that.
(Text 10)
W:Attention,attention,everyone,please.I want to announce the results of the High-tech Electronics Company’s customer survey.Overall,we got high marks from our customers concerning the quality of our products.They felt that our products were quite modern,and carried a lot of the features they expected in electronics.They especially liked the high-tech cell phone,which combines a cell phone with a camera and an MP4 player.However,I’m very sorry to say that customers were far less satisfied with our customer service.They complained in the survey that their complaints took too long to resolve in person,by phone,or by the Internet.They also complained that our service staff were not always friendly.By contrast,they wrote that many of our competitors have excellent customer service.This is a serious problem that we will have to work on.This is why I’m ordering the Customer Service Department to come up with a plan within one week,explaining how they intend to improve our customer service.There is so much competition in our business,so we must improve our customer service as soon as possible.

A
No matter where you go around the globe,everybody loves to celebrate.And when it comes to celebration,festivals offer something for everyone.
Mardi Gras(New Orleans,Louisiana)
Also known as Fat Tuesday,Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a cultural event.Though the celebration is held every year,the festivities last for months.And if you love music,check out the annual Galactic concert at the world-famous Tipitina’s on Lundi Gras(the day before Mardi Gras).
La Tomatina(Valencia,Spain)
Launched way back in 1945,La Tomatina is one of the oldest festivals on our list.It’s also easily the happiest but the messiest,coming off like the world’s biggest food fight.
Legend has it that the whole thing started when some local boys joined a parade alongside musicians.The boys made the performers so angry that they tried to hit the boys,and a vendor’s (摊贩) vegetable stand fell victim to the incident.
If you go,please follow some simple rules:don’t throw hard objects;squash the tomato before throwing it;keep a safe distance from tomato trucks and stop in time.
Montreux Jazz Festival(Switzerland)
Founded back in 1967,Montreux is one of the oldest music festivals in the world.It is also the second largest jazz festival,after the Montreal International Jazz Festival.That Canadian concert may attract more visitors—around 2 million annually.But Montreux benefits from its pretty location on the attractive shores of Lake Geneva.The area is particularly beautiful in late June or early July,when the festival is held.

When I was a young boy,every summer,Mum,Dad,my brothers and I would climb into our old car and drive for 7 hours over long mountain roads to visit Mum’s relatives in Tennessee.We always stayed in Grandma’s house there with her,Uncle Rich and Aunt Charlotte.It was a fun time with days full of excitement and joy.Often Aunt Charlotte would even make us a special dinner in the summertime.Some of my happiest childhood memories came from those visits.
One especially holds a special place in my heart.During that visit,I had great fun every day.One evening,I climbed into bed in the guest bedroom on the second floor of the house.Although I had played and explored the whole day and was really tired,I was still wide awake,my mind racing with the day’s sweet events.As I lay there,I heard the most pleasant sound coming from the front window below me.It was laughter.Mum,Dad,Uncle Rich,and Aunt Charlotte were down there sharing stories and telling jokes.The laughter was so happy,so joyous,that I found myself smiling.And even then in my young mind and childish heart,I realised that this is how life should be.The laughter became a sweet song to me and I fell asleep feeling all was right with the world.
Whenever my life seems too hard or crazy,I look back on that memory.And I took the lessons that Uncle Rich and Aunt Charlotte taught me.They always lived their lives with love and joy and laughter and smiles.Uncle Rich passed away many years ago but Aunt Charlotte is still alive.I write to her each week and I am so thankful to still have her in my life.
We fill lives with laughter and smiles and love and nly give ourselves happiness but also make this world a better and more beautiful place.

Fishing cats are a kind of cats that love water and love to fish.They are like tigers and lions,only much smaller,around twice the size of our average pet cats.They live in wetlands of South Asia and mangrove forests (红树林) of South and Southeast Asia.Like many endangered species,fishing cats had been in danger of dying out more than twenty years ago,mainly because of the great international need for fish food and the people’s cutting of the mangroves at an extremely fast speed.
Mangroves of Southeast Asia are home to a great many fantastic species,like fishing cats,turtles,shorebirds and others.Mangroves can protect soil,and they can be the first line of protection between storms,tsunamis and the millions of people who live next to them.The fact is that mangroves can store almost five to ten times more CO2 than other forests.So protecting mangroves may well be like protecting five to ten times more of other forests.
About ten years ago,in South India,many people came together to change the future of their home.In less than 10 years with international support,the state forest departments and the local people worked together to restore over 20,000 acres of unproductive fish and shrimp farms back into mangroves.Now experts are working with them to help study and protect the mangroves as well as the species living in them.Fish and shrimp farmers are now willing to work with experts to test the harvest of nature protection like fishes,turtles and other species in mangroves.The local farmers are encouraged to protect and plant mangroves where they have been lost.A win-win-win for fishing cats,local people and the global ecosystem (生态系统) is being built.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了需要被保护的濒危的渔猫、对于人类十分重要的红树林以及当地人为保护红树林所做出的努力。
(　　)32.What made the fishing cats endangered

[C] Being too large and the need for fish food.
[D] Less fish and overcutting of mangroves.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句可知,渔猫濒临灭绝的原因是鱼类供不应求和人类对红树林的过度砍伐。故选D。
(　　)33.Why are mangroves so important
[A] Because they can prevent extreme weather.
[B] Because they can take in more CO2 effectively.
[C] Because they help plants grow better in the soil.
[D] Because they are perfect home to all species.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段的最后两句可知,红树林如此重要的原因是它们可以有效地吸收更多的二氧化碳。故选B。

“Is everyone OK ”shouted Jack.“Tonya She’s not in the boat,”said Sasha.“She’s in the water.”

No matter where you go around the globe,everybody loves to celebrate.And when it comes to celebration,festivals offer something for everyone.
Mardi Gras(New Orleans,Louisiana)
Also known as Fat Tuesday,Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a cultural event.Though the celebration is held every year,the festivities last for months.And if you love music,check out the annual Galactic concert at the world-famous Tipitina’s on Lundi Gras(the day before Mardi Gras).
La Tomatina(Valencia,Spain)
Launched way back in 1945,La Tomatina is one of the oldest festivals on our list.It’s also easily the happiest but the messiest,coming off like the world’s biggest food fight.
Legend has it that the whole thing started when some local boys joined a parade alongside musicians.The boys made the performers so angry that they tried to hit the boys,and a vendor’s (摊贩) vegetable stand fell victim to the incident.
If you go,please follow some simple rules:don’t throw hard objects;squash the tomato before throwing it;keep a safe distance from tomato trucks and stop in time.
Montreux Jazz Festival(Switzerland)
Founded back in 1967,Montreux is one of the oldest music festivals in the world.It is also the second largest jazz festival,after the Montreal International Jazz Festival.That Canadian concert may attract more visitors—around 2 million annually.But Montreux benefits from its pretty location on the attractive shores of Lake Geneva.The area is particularly beautiful in late June or early July,when the festival is held.

When I was a young boy,every summer,Mum,Dad,my brothers and I would climb into our old car and drive for 7 hours over long mountain roads to visit Mum’s relatives in Tennessee.We always stayed in Grandma’s house there with her,Uncle Rich and Aunt Charlotte.It was a fun time with days full of excitement and joy.Often Aunt Charlotte would even make us a special dinner in the summertime.Some of my happiest childhood memories came from those visits.
One especially holds a special place in my heart.During that visit,I had great fun every day.One evening,I climbed into bed in the guest bedroom on the second floor of the house.Although I had played and explored the whole day and was really tired,I was still wide awake,my mind racing with the day’s sweet events.As I lay there,I heard the most pleasant sound coming from the front window below me.It was laughter.Mum,Dad,Uncle Rich,and Aunt Charlotte were down there sharing stories and telling jokes.The laughter was so happy,so joyous,that I found myself smiling.And even then in my young mind and childish heart,I realised that this is how life should be.The laughter became a sweet song to me and I fell asleep feeling all was right with the world.
Whenever my life seems too hard or crazy,I look back on that memory.And I took the lessons that Uncle Rich and Aunt Charlotte taught me.They always lived their lives with love and joy and laughter and smiles.Uncle Rich passed away many years ago but Aunt Charlotte is still alive.I write to her each week and I am so thankful to still have her in my life.
We fill lives with laughter and smiles and love and nly give ourselves happiness but also make this world a better and more beautiful place.

　　One particular instance involved a female student studying in the United States,who confidently dressed in hanfu,a traditional Chinese clothing,while proudly holding the Chinese national flag.Her clothing attracted applause and admiration from observers.
　　“When wearing traditional clothing at important moments in life,I truly feel a sense of pride.As the only Chinese person in my department,I have been striving to incorporate elements of our Chinese culture into my everyday life,bringing forth the essence of who we are as Chinese people,” the student explained her action of wearing hanfu for her graduation ceremony.

　　Netizens were deeply moved by their display,not only appreciating the cultural significance and richness of traditional Chinese attire but also expressing joy at witnessing the students’ confident promotion of Chinese culture.
　　Moreover,it’s worth noting that it wasn’t only hanfu that made an appearance.Several international students chose to wear their own ethnic costumes,further highlighting the diversity and richness of Chinese culture.

Fishing cats are a kind of cats that love water and love to fish.They are like tigers and lions,only much smaller,around twice the size of our average pet cats.They live in wetlands of South Asia and mangrove forests (红树林) of South and Southeast Asia.Like many endangered species,fishing cats had been in danger of dying out more than twenty years ago,mainly because of the great international need for fish food and the people’s cutting of the mangroves at an extremely fast speed.
Mangroves of Southeast Asia are home to a great many fantastic species,like fishing cats,turtles,shorebirds and others.Mangroves can protect soil,and they can be the first line of protection between storms,tsunamis and the millions of people who live next to them.The fact is that mangroves can store almost five to ten times more CO2 than other forests.So protecting mangroves may well be like protecting five to ten times more of other forests.
About ten years ago,in South India,many people came together to change the future of their home.In less than 10 years with international support,the state forest departments and the local people worked together to restore over 20,000 acres of unproductive fish and shrimp farms back into mangroves.Now experts are working with them to help study and protect the mangroves as well as the species living in them.Fish and shrimp farmers are now willing to work with experts to test the harvest of nature protection like fishes,turtles and other species in mangroves.The local farmers are encouraged to protect and plant mangroves where they have been lost.A win-win-win for fishing cats,local people and the global ecosystem (生态系统) is being built.
