听力原文:M: It is good to have some company for the drive. It’s a long way to Edinburgh, and it’s very boring if you are on your own.
W: I’m really lucky you stopped and offered me a lift. I’ve been waiting for about two hours but no one seemed to be going my way.
M: Are you a student?
W: Yes, I’m a biology student in London University. I’m going up to Edinburgh for the festival, but it’s so expensive on the train that I decided to try and hitch a lift.
M: Well, you are lucky because I should have been going yesterday, but something happened to delay me so I postponed my trip until today.
W: Is it all right if I put my bag on the back seat?
M: Yes, of course.
W: It started to rain just as I left the house this morning and my clothes and shoes are wet through. Would you mind if I take off my shoes?
M: No, of course not. I don’t mind. Go ahead.
W: Thanks.
M: Oh, don’t forget to put your seat belt on! You can get fined nowadays, you know, for not wearing your seat belt.
W: Yes, sorry, I forgot. Could I open this window?
M: Well, I’d rather you don’t if you don’t mind. It gets very draughty when you open that window. But you can open the back window.
W: Is it all right if I go to sleep for a while?
M: Yes, of course. I’ll wake you up when we reach the next service station. I’ll need some coffee then.

听力原文:M: Hi, Susan, you are so lucky to be done with your final exams and term papers. I still have two more finals to take.
W: Really?
M: Yeah, so what are you doing this summer, anything special?
W: Well, actually yeah. My parents have always liked taking my brother and me to different places in our country. You know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. And so even though we are older now, they still do once in a while.
M: Oh so where are you going this summer?
W: Well, this summer it's finally going to be Yan'an.
M: Finally? You mean they never took you yet? I mean Yan'an; it's probably the most famous revolutionary base in the country. It's only a couple of hours ride by train. I think that would be one of the first places where they should have taken you. I have been there a couple of times.
W: We were going to go about five years ago, but something happened. I cannot remember what changed our plans. Yeah, don't ask me what it was, but we ended up not going anywhere that year. I hope that doesn't happen again this year.
M: I wrote a paper about the revolutionary activities in Yan'an last semester for a history class after I visited it for the fifth time last summer. The trip really helped a lot.

听力原文:BRYSON: Well, Amina, thanks for letting me have your draft in such good time.
AMINA: Oh, that's alright. I was just very anxious to hear what you think of it. You can
see that I decided to change the topic - I had been interested in looking at
Barings Factory.
BRYSON: Oh, I think the hospital was a much better choice. In fact.., well... I have to 【Q21】
say that I thought it was good.
AMINA: Oh?
BRYSON: There's still lots of work to be done...
AMINA: Oh yes.., of course.
BRYSON: But there's plenty of good ideas. It opens well and the first chapter is fine but
the middle section really stood out for me... most interesting. 【Q22】
AMNA: That's amazing because I really didn't find it a bit easy to write... 【Q23】
BRYSON: How long did you work on the whole thing?
AMINA: Well, I spent about two or three weeks reading and doing general research and
then I dashed the writing off very quickly.., so about four weeks in all.
BRYSON: Well, that's about par for the course. You've got a while yet to make the changes.
AMINA: Oh right.., no problem...
BRYSON: Right. Let's have a look at my notes here. OK. Starting with section headings
…. the broad divisions are good but you'll have to re-do the actual headings. Example
I've made some suggestions in the margins...
AMINA: OK. Thanks.
BRYSON: Now, this information on local housing... I can see why you put it there but it 【Q24】
really isn't relevant to the approach you've taken.
AMINA: I think I see what you mean.
BRYSON: Now... what did I say about the interviews?
AMNA: I worked very hard on those. I really thought they were valuable.
BRYSON: They are, Amina, but they're very complex and rather unclear at the moment.
You're going to have to spend a bit of time making the data a lot clearer. 【Q25】
AMINA: OK... as long as I don't have to remove them altogether...
BRYSON: No, don't worry.
AMINA: What about the chronology.., the list of dates? I wasn't sure whether I should
rewrite those.
BRYSON: My advice on that is to take them out. I feel it makes the whole piece appear 【Q26】
too simplistic.
AMINA: OK, if it'll help.
..........................................................................................................................................................
BRSON: Now, there are a couple of other books I'd like you to look at. Have you got a
pen? Right... Approaches to Local History by John Mervis...
AMINA: Right...
BRYSON: And then I think you need to think about ways of representing interview data.
Have a look at Sight and Sound by Kate Oakwell. 【Q27】
AMINA: Sight and Sound.
BRYSON: Then you know I'm going away on holiday next week...
AMINA: Yes.
BRYSON: So when you've made the changes I suggest you show the work to your 【Q28】
Support Tutor.
AMINA: Support Tutor... right...
BRYSON: Then you do the proof reading... 【Q29】
AMINA: Proof reading.., uh-huh. When by, do you think?
BRYSON: I'd aim for 29 June and after that you should get it laser printed.., but be &nb
A.school.
B.hospital.

听力原文:When you have a dog it is necessary to care for it very carefully. In return you will be loved by your dog.
The most important part of dog-care is cleanliness. Not only does the dog have to be kept clean, but his environment should also be clean. The bed he sleeps in can be made with anything like a rug or a dog mattress.
Proper feeding is also important for your dog's health. A dog should be fed in the same place and on a regular schedule. If your dog refuses to eat, don't force him. Remove his food and don't feed him again until his next regular feeding. Food should never be left before a dog for more than 30 minutes.
One important thing that many dog owners forget is exercise for the dog. Vigorous exercise helps build strength and keeps the dog healthy. A regular walk at a fixed time of the day is enough to help a smaller dog live a healthier end happier life. Large dogs, though, require a run in an open fid&
There are other things that are also important for a dog's health — things like bathing, care of the teeth and nails, keeping them away from insects as much as possible. But if you observe the three main points covered above, your dog will give you a great amount of pleasure.

听力原文:M: So, you must have a lot of contact with overseas students in your work helping people coping with daily existence.
W: Sometimes. You know the life of a social worker is not all wonderful and working to help people in their daily life. I have to spend a lot of time pushing paper, and writing reports too. But when I do get out, yeah, I see a lot of foreigners. And sometimes they come in because life in America has just beaten them down and they can't cope financially or emotionally.
M: Really? I would think that they had a good support network in place, especially university students.
W: They do have a network, and a variety of support groups, but these can't meet all of the students' needs. They can't help with paying bills, dealing with American neighbors and customs, fitting in, getting a driver's license, etc. They try, but very often the student has to figure out a lot of this stuff by himself. And if he or she is shy, they don't have the courage to ask other people, even other people from their nationality.
M: So what are some of the things that overseas students struggle with?
W: This might interest you, but they struggle with the food, especially Chinese. You know, they come here knowing that Americans love Chinese food so much. They think that there will be good restaurants with Chinese food that they love. But they get here and they are extremely surprised. Americans enjoy totally different flavors.
M: So what do they do?
W: If they're brave and curious, they look around and test all the restaurants. There is usually at least one restaurant in every town that has almost quality food.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. In which aspect does the woman help people in her work?
24. Why do people come to the woman for help?
25. How did Chinese students expect the American-made Chinese food before they came to the U.S?
(20)
A.Writing reports for them.
B.Teaching them foreign languages.
C.Helping them deal with daily existence.
D.Introducing work for them.
