M: Good morning. Why haven't I seen Mary around recently? W: She has been laid off. Q: What does the woman mean? 2. M: Good evening, madam. Are you ready to order? W; Oh, excuse me. I have some difficulty reading the menu. Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place? 3. M: Did you see the film on CCTV-6 last night? W; I would have seen it, but my son had a traffic accident and I had to stay up the whole night in the hospital. Q: What did the woman do last night? 4. M; I would like to buy the brown jacket. It's cheaper in this shop. W: Yes, but it's better quality in the other shop. Q: Which one does the man want to buy? 5. W: How long will my daughter stay at school? M: Well, school starts at 8 : 00 in the morning and ends at 4 : 00 in the afternoon. Q: How many hours will the student stay at school? 6. M; It's much better to take a walk outside after the rain. Don't you agree? W: Yes. I couldn't agree more. Q: What does the woman think? 7. W; When shall I hand in the term paper? M: By the end of this month. Q: What is the relationship between the two people? 8. W: Will you be there at 5 o'clock at the airport? M; Of course! I can't wait to see you. Q: How does the man respond to the woman? Now you will hear two long conversations. Conversation One W: I just read a curious fact. Did you know that the people who spend less than ten mi​nutes in a drugstore are five times more likely to make a purchase than those who spend half an hour there. M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drugstore for ten minutes, it's usually to make a specific purchase. W; And someone who spends more time there may be just looking. M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you buy something, then talk yourself out of it? W; Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all. M; Exactly. But if you run into buy something specific and have very little time, you pick it up, pay for it immediately, and then leave. W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time and you will spend less money. M: I doubt that will be true in all stores, though. In the department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or something you never intend to buy. And buy it because you had no time to look around. Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 9. What is the main topic of the conversation? What made the man and the woman start the conversation? What did the man say about people who shop quickly? Conversation Two M: Hi, Grace, you don't look happy. What's wrong? W: Well, John, I've got a problem. M: What is it? W: You know my daughter Jenny is 16 years old now. And we've begun talking about college. She says she wants to go, but she's let her grades slip and no matter how I urge her to study, all she seems interested in are clothes and boys. We are not wealthy, you know. And it won't be easy for us to afford the tuition if she can't get a scholarship. Is college going to be the best choice for her right now? M: Do you mean that she doesn't seem ready for college? W; You are right. M: Then you'd better have a serious talk with Jenny about college. W: A serious talk with her? M: Yes, to my mind, it's quite normal for girls of her age to be wrapped in fashion and dating, but as a mother you have a right to expect her to pay attention to her studies now. W: Yes, but how? M: Ask her how serious she is about college and how hard she's willing to work for it. Jenny may be more committed than you realize. But if not, tell her she should think a-bout putting college off for a while. That could give her the push she needs to take her education seriously. W; Sounds like a good idea. M: And if you decide she should wait, she can get a job, take classes at community college or do an internship to get experience. She may be just one of those who need to see a bit of real life before she settles down. Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Passage Three Is it true that you will feel very excited and happy when you go to live in a new country? And will your life in this new country always be wonderful and exciting? Some specialists say that it is not easy to adjust to life in a new culture. They call the feelings culture shock, which people experience when they come to a new environment. Then, when the newcomers wear off, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, the apartment, and everything else in the new culture. In the final stage of culture shock, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more. Who experiences culture shock? Everyone does in some form or another. But culture shock comes as a surprise to most people. A lot of times, people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had any difficulties in their own countries.

They think they are (28) stupid. Experts now know these children may (29) suffer from a learning disability called dyslexia(阅读困难). It is a (30) Greek word meaning "poor reading". There are many kinds of dyslexia. Some dyslexia children see (31) letters the wrong way while reading. For example, they may look at the word "saw" and see it as the word (32) "was", or they may not be able to tell the (33) difference between the letters "b" and "d", or "p" and " q" . Several studies are helping experts understand what dyslexia is and where to look for its cause. (34) Some experts say dyslexics have reading and writing problems because their brains are different from those of other people. They say dyslexics are born that way. Dyslexic children do not develop the ability to match groups of letters with their sounds. For example, a dyslexic person can not see the written letters "SGO" and know it is said "SGO". (35) This makes it extremely difficult or impossible to learn the sounds of their language. Recent research shows treatments can be effective. One treatment involves looking at letters and repeating their sounds. The experts say it is very important to discover if a per​son is suffering dyslexia at a young age. Treatment can prevent severe reading and writing problems later in life. (36) Experts say that dyslexic people are not stupid. Many are ex​tremely intelligent. One dyslexic high school student said, "Even if I can not spell 'chem​istry' , I can do the work. "
