Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer.

1. M: Would you please give Mr. Jackson a message?

W: Sorry. Mr. Jackson is having a holiday in Chicago.

Q: What can we know according to the conversation?

2. W: The movie next Tuesday has been cancelled due to lack of interest.

M : What do you mean?

Q: What can we conclude about the movie?

3. W: I can't find any pen. It was right here on the desk yesterday and now it's gone. Have you seen it?

M: Yes. I put it in the desk drawer.

Q: What did the man do with the pen?

4. M: I'm getting tired of driving. I think we'd better stop for the night soon, dear, you look tired, too.

W: I am. Ten hours on the road is long enough for anyone. I’m anxious to get to mum's, but we shouldn't overdo it.

Q: Where are the two speakers going?

5. W: Did you put two forks with each plate and use the new glasses?

M: Oh, no, I didn't. But I will do it at once.

Q: What is the man going to do?

6. M: Jane is quite enthusiastic about the camping, isn't she?

W: Yes, she often goes for weeks at a time.

Q: What does the woman say about Jane?

7. M: I didn't expect to see you here.

W: Francis is sick and asked me to work today instead.

Q: What can be concluded from this conversation?

8. M: I thought you would be in class till 4 o’clock today.

W: I usually am. But Professor Li let us out earlier.

Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

Conversation 1

M: What seems to be the problem, Mrs. Johnson?

W: I have a headache and a sore throat.

M: How long has this been going on?

W: For a few days I think.

M: Let me take your temperature. . . Well, you've got a fever, but not very serious. I think it's flu.

W: Do I need to take any injections?

M: It's not necessary. I'll give you some aspirins. You may take one tablet after each meal.

W: I see.

M: Have a good rest and drink more water.

W: Alright. Thanks, doctor.

Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

9. What’s wrong with the woman?

M: But I like my job.

W: Look, digging gardens is not a job for a university graduate.

M: But the money's not bad and there is plenty of fresh air.

W: If I were you, I'd go on to take a new course, teaching, accountancy...

M: Accountancy? Anything but that. It's so boring.

W: Come on, you really must think of your future. Why don't you just write a few application forms? M: I’ll tell you what. I'd like to be a doctor.

W: Well, you should think seriously about that. It means a lot of study, and then working all sorts of hours.

M: Yes, maybe. But that idea appeals to me.

W: Well, then, you ought to get some information about it as soon as possible.

Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Passage One

While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so. The following day, the patient asked for a bed-side telephone. When he was alone, he telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington. When the doctor answered the call, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr. John Gilbert. He asked if Mr. Gilbert’s operation had been successful and the doctor told him that it had been. He then asked when Mr. Gilbert would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hospital for another two weeks. Then Dr. Millington asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient. “No,” the patient answered, “I’m Mr. John Gilbert.”

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

16. Why did the doctor refuse to tell the patient whether the operation had been successful?

17. What did the patient do the following day?

18. Hong long would the patient have to stay in hospital?

Passage Two

Many Western families keep pets at home. Pets are animals that are kept in the home for different reasons, but mainly to provide friendly company and amusement. The two main groups of people who like pets the most are children and elderly people.

From looking after their pets, boys and girls can learn the meaning of responsibility. This is particularly true if they are responsible for feeding the pets and cleaning their cages or boxes. Probably the most popular pets are dogs and cats, but with children smaller animals are often more welcome, for example, birds.

Elderly people prefer dogs and cats as pets. They are easy to look after, and return gentle love. In particular, they provide friendly company which can be important for a person living alone.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

19. What is the main topic of this talk?

20. What kinds of people like to keep pets?

21. What is the most important reason for elderly people to keep dogs and cats as pets?

Passage Three

The history of plastics is longer than you might expect. In fact, the first man-made plastic ever to appear on the market was made over a hundred years ago. It was discovered both by an Englishman and by an American in the same year. But it was the American who first manufactured it on a large scale during the 1860s. Everybody was excited by this new material which was so cheap to buy. Poor young men working in smoky cities were able to buy plastic collars. These collars were hard and uncomfortable, but they did not have to wash them. The poor young men could rub them clean every evening with soap and water. Poor mothers, who had not been able to afford playthings for their children, were now able to buy them playthings made of plastic.

But plastic had one very serious fault. It caught fire very easily.

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.

22. Who discovered plastics?

23. When were plastics manufactured on a large scale?

24. Why was everybody excited by plastic?

25. What was one serious fault of plastic?

Section C

Directions:In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 26 to 33 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 34 to 36 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

The word "sport" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often(26)meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a (27) hundred years ago the word was first used for (28) organized games. This is the (29) usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their (30) spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. People do this because they are interested in it. A few people are (31) paid for the sport they play. These people are called (32) professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can (33) earn a lot of money.

For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 3,000 pounds a year. The stars can earn a lot more. (34)International golf and tennis champions can make more than $ 500,000 a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. Perhaps the most surprising thing about

sportsmen and money is (35) that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. (36) Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time.

Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting!

Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in

大学英语自学教程(上册) unit 23 非言语交际 23-A. Non-verbal Communication If anyone asked you what were the main means of communication between people, what would you say? That isn’t a catch question. The answer is simple and obvious. It would almost certainly refer to means of communication that involve the use of words. Speakers and listeners-oral communication, and writers and readers-written communication. And you’d be quite right. There is, however, another form of communication which we all use most of the time, usually without knowing it. This is sometimes called body language. Its more technical name is non-verbal communication. Non-verbal, because it does not involve the use of words. NVC for short. When someone is saying something with which he agrees, the average European will smile and nod approval. On the other hand, if you disagree with what they are saying, you may frown and shake your head. In this way you signal your reactions, and communicate them to the speaker without saying a word. I referred a moment ago to "the average European”, because body language is very much tied to culture, and in order not to misunderstand, or not to be misunderstood, you must realize this. A smiling Chinese, for instance, may not be approving but somewhat embarrassed. Quite a lot of work is now being done on the subject of NVC, which is obviously important, for instance, to managers, who have to deal every day with their staff, and have to understand what other people are feeling if they are to create good working conditions. Body language, or NVC signals, are sometimes categorized into five kinds: 1.body and facial gestures; 2.eye contact; 3.body contact or "proximity"; 4.clothing and physical appearance; and 5.the quality of speech. I expect you understood all those, except perhaps "proximity." This simply means "closeness". In some cultures-and I am sure this is a cultural feature and not an individual one-it is quite normal for people to stand close together, or to more or less thrust their face into yours when they are talking to you. In other cultures, this is disliked; Americans, for instance, talk about invasion of their space. Some signals are probably common to all of us. If a public speaker (like a professor, for example) is all the time fiddling with a pencil, or with his glasses, while he is talking to you, he is telling you quite clearly that he is nervous. A person who holds a hand over his mouth when he is talking is signaling that he is lacking in confidence. If you start wriggling in your chairs, looking secretly at your watches or yawning behind your hands, I shall soon get the message that I’m boring you. And so on. I'm sure you could make a whole list of such signals-and it might be fun if you did. All the signals I have mentioned so far can be controlled. If you are aware that you are doing these things, you can stop. You can even learn to give false signals. Most public speakers are in fact nervous, but a good speaker learns to hide this by giving off signals of confidence. Other kinds of NVC are not so easy to control. Eye contact, for instance. Unless you are confessing intense love, you hardly ever look into someone else’s eyes for very long. If you try it, you’ll find they will soon away, probably in embarrassment.
