听力原文：W：Read the report？ The：tuition fee was increased to ￡ 3000 a year. And other living expenses are on average ￡3000 a year.

W：Well, (23)I got a student loan, which is just over ￡3 000, but also I get some money from my parents as well.

听力原文：In spite of stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exi
听力原文： In spite of stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have been increasing at an alarming rate.
Most types of serious crime increased from 363.5 in every 100,000 people in 2003 to 535.5 in 2004. In that one year, there was one murder committed every 24 minutes, one case of robbery in every 10 minutes and one case of rape in every 7 minutes. The cases of murder involved 21,456 victims. Most acts of violence were committed by young people. 57% of the criminals arrested in 2004 were youths below 25 years of age.
Everyone agrees that crime is partly a result of bad material conditions, poverty, lack of education, living without a settled home, being parentless, sufferings due to other kinds of misfortunes, etc.
There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of the crime rate. In the first place, some states have made laws approving the death penalty but some have not. Secondly, the constitution allows every citizen to carry weapons for his own protection. It is therefore possible aid easy for anyone in the country to get a gun. Finally, there has been too much violence shown on TV and too much violence reported in newspapers of all kinds. The details of the crimes are so accurately described that even children know how to repeat what they have seen or read. All these have resulted in a higher frequency of crimes committed both by professional criminals and by nonprofessional ones such as murder, drug smuggling, robbery, pocket-picking, etc.

&8226;Read this text taken from an article about some key aspects of operations management.
&8226;Choose the best sentence to fill each of the gaps.
&8226;For each gap 9—14, mark one letter (A—H) on your Answer Sheet.
&8226;Do not use any letter more than once.
The Operations Function
Goods are tangible items purchased by individuals or organizations for subsequent use. Services are intangible items that are consumed at the time of being provided, with the customer taking away or retaining the benefit of that service. However, in many commercial situations, what is provided or produced by an organization can be a mixture of both goods and services. H
The operations function is the part of the organization that exists primarily to generate and produce the products. (9) . They have a conversion process, some resource inputs into that process, the outputs resulting from the conversions of the inputs, and the information feedback about the activities in the operations system. (10) . Economists refer to the transformation of resources into goods and services as the production function. (11) . This process is what creates the revenue for the company making the products or providing the services. (12) .
When considering the conversion process we must take into account that the process is subject to random change and fluctuations. Unplanned or uncontrolled influences may cause the actual output to differ from the planned output. (13) . If there is a circumstance in which the Yangzi River of China was to flood, the production of rice would suffer, therefore causing an increase fluctuation in the price of rice. (14) . Fluctuations may also tend to be caused by internal problems inherent in the conversion process. Faulty equipment, material imperfections, and of course human errors are only a few of the ideas that affect output quality.
A Other natural problems such as lightning, frost, drought, too much rain, etc., will tend to be the major reason for the fluctuation in product quality and price because of availability.
B All producers of whether it be a physical object or service have some basic elements in common.
C For example, all managers in any organization will need to know how to train their employees, appraise their performance, and so forth.
D The end product then becomes an idea where it is deemed a useful idea due to the form, the time, or the place of their availability from the conversion process.
E For example, such fluctuations in the product quality or price may be due to the growing weather conditions of many plants of fruit and vegetables.
F Once a product is made available to the consumer, that product is sold and converted into cash for that company and the cycle continues.
G The general goal for all production is to create some kind of value added, so the outputs are worth more to the consumer than just the sum of the individual inputs.
H In some situations the product will outweigh the service but in other situations it will be the opposite.

听力原文： U.S. authorities have temporarily closed the American consulate in Nigeria's commercial capital, Lagos, because of a security threat. Other diplomatic missions in the city have done the same.
A statement read by a spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Abuja, Claudia Anyaso, said a threat to security was the reason for closing the Lagos consulate Thursday afternoon.
"The U.S. Consulate in Lagos will close, beginning 3:00 p.m. local time June 16, because of a security issue of mutual concern to the U.S. mission in Nigeria and the government of Nigeria. This security issue is being addressed with the help and close collaboration of relevant Nigerian authorities."
U.S. officials would not give specific details on the threat.
The consulate remained closed Friday, while security staff reviewed the situation. It is scheduled to reopen Monday, said an official in Lagos.
The decision by American authorities in Nigeria prompted at least one other foreign mission to follow suit. British officials said their decision to close their consulate in Lagos Friday was a direct result of U. S. security concerns.
Several countries have consulates near the American mission. British officials said other countries had followed the American example.
Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, is home to several festering civil conflicts. An armed struggle for control over the oil-rich Niger Delta regularly leads to the abduction of foreign nationals. Violent clashes frequently erupt between the country's Muslims and Christians.
Al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden has cited Nigeria as a candidate for, what he called, "liberation."
Why have U.S. government temporarily closed the American consulate in Lagos？
A．Because of political disturbance there.
B．Because of economic crisis there.
C．Because of security threat there.
D．Because of the workers' strike there.

听力原文： Marco Polo was born in Venice, Italy, about 1254.At that time Europeans knew almost nothing of peoples and nations on other continents, except in the areas of Asia and Africa touching the Mediterranean.
In 1271 Marco Polo, his father and his uncle set out on a journey to the fabled lands of China. After four years of hard journey, finally they arrived at the great city of the ruler of China.
In China, Marco Polo found people with a culture quite different from his own. He saw palaces grander than any in Europe, sculptures of great beauty, large, finely-carved precious stones.., a new world full of many wonders. After leaving China, Marco Polo traveled to Japan, southeastern Asia, India, and eastern Africa as a representative of the Chinese ruler.
In 1292—two hundred years before Columbus—the great voyager set out for home. The stories of China he brought back spread quickly throughout Europe. Europe was never again the same.

听力原文： Colleges and universities are degree-granting institutions of higher education.I
听力原文： Colleges and universities are degree-granting institutions of higher education. In the original sense of the word, a college was a group of students who gathered to share academic and residential facilities. Each college was a component part of a corporate body called a university. Today, especially in the United States, a college may be affiliated with a university (for example, Bernard College of Columbia University) or independent (for example, Smith College).
American undergraduates traditionally have been required to take general survey courses before they specialize in major areas of concentration; the undergraduate program generally is four years, and each year is split into two or three semesters. After receiving a bachelor of arts (BA) or a bachelor of science (BS) degree, those who want additional education enroll in programs leading to a master of arts (MA) or a doctor of philosophy (Ph.D) degree or study at a medical, law, or other professional or technical graduate school at the same or another institution.
In contrast, European students begin their higher education with specialized studies because their general education is completed in secondary school. In general, European universities have no prescribed courses, attendance requirements, or course grades. Students may attend lectures, but do their work directly with tutors who prepare them for examinations. Programs may be completed in two or six years.
15.What was the original meaning of the word "college"？
16.When do American students begin to specialize in their major？
17.When do American students begin to study at professional or technical graduate schools？
18.In what way is European higher education different from US higher education？
(35)
A．A degree-granting institution of higher learning.
B．A group of students sharing academic and residential facilities.
C．A component part of a large corporate body.
