Q11

I just heard about a really beautiful park in the east end of the town

There are a lot of roses in bloom

Why don't we walk over there and see for ourselves

What will the speakers probably do

Q12

My presentation is scheduled for 9:30 tomorrow morning at the lecture hall

I hope to see you there

Oh

Sorry

I was about to tell you that I have an appointment with my dentist at 9:00 o'clock tomorrow

What do we learn about the woman

Q13

How long have you been running this company

Twenty years if you can believe that

I brought it from a small operation to what it is today

What do we learn about the man

Q14

Have you read the news on the campus net

Susan has won the scholarship for next year

I knew she would from the very beginning

Such a brilliant and diligent girl

She certainly deserves it

What does the woman mean

Q15

Taking a bus to Miami

It's cheaper than going by train

That's true

But I'd rather pay a little more for the added comfort and convenience

What does the man mean

Q16

I think it's time we got rid of all this old furniture

You're right

We need to promote our image besides it's not a real antique

What do the speakers mean

Q17

That was some storm yesterday

How was I afraid I couldn't make it home

Yeah

Most of the roads to my house were flooded

I didn't get home from the lab until midnight

What do we learn from the conversation

Q18

My boys are always complaining that they're bored

Why don't you get them into some team sports

My son and daughter play soccer every Saturday

And they both look forward to it all week

What does the man mean

Directions

Conversation one

So John

I hear you and Arthur share a job

Don't you

Yes

We've shared a sales job at Sonatech for about two years now

Well

How do you divide up your schedule

You know we are both sales representatives

And we take orders over the phone

When we started job sharing it was difficult

Because we both worked all day Monday

I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesday and优艾设计网_PS问答 Friday

The problem was that when I was in the office on Tuesday

I would talk to people

Then they would call back on Wednesday with a question

But Arthur couldn't answer the question and he couldn't ask me about it because I wasn't in the office

So he had to ask the people to call me back the next day

Thursday

Of course

They didn't like to wait until the next day to have their questions answered

Yes

That sounds like a problem

So

Finally we decided that Arthur would work in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons

Now if someone calls with the question for me in the morning

Arthur tells them to call me in the afternoon

This way

People get their questions answered the same day

What do you do about vacations

Well

Sonatech gives the usual two weeks of vacation to full-time employees

I take a week and Arthur takes a week

Sonatech

It sounds like job sharing has worked out well for you

Yes

It has

We are both happy with it

Conversation two

May I see your license

Please

But officer

Did I do something wrong

Do you mean to say you didn't see the speed limit sign back there

Um

No

Madam

I guess I didn't

In other words

You drove by too fast to read it

The sign says 35m/h

A school is just nearby

You know

Don't get me wrong

But my speedometer didn't read much faster than that

Then

Why is it that my radar showed you are going 45

Let me put it another way

I'm going to give you a ticket

Again

May I see your license

Please

Here it is

Officer

But let me explain

I was late for an important appointment and I was worried that I wouldn't make it on time

So

Uha

Just a minute

Here

Your license is no longer valid

You should have renewed it two weeks ago

I'm going to have to write you up for that

Too

What

Really

Your license becomes invalid on your birthday and that was two weeks ago according to the date here

You are in violation of the law—driving without a valid license

I'm sorry

Madam

I hadn't realized that

Here's the ticket for not having a valid license

But I'm only going to give you a warning about exceeding the speed limit

Be careful next time

Yes

Madam

Officer

I will

Thank you

Passage 1

Since I started working part-time at a grocery store

I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buy something

To me

A customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping card

One of the first things customers forget is how to count

There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line

Which is clearly marked 15 items or less

With 20

25 or even a cart load of items

Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place

Just as I finish ringing up an order

A customer will say

"Oops

I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread

I hope you don't mind waiting while I go get it"

Five minutes later

He's back with the bread

A bottle of milk

And three rolls of paper towels

Strange is that seems customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries

Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries

My customers will wait until I announce the total

Then

In surprise

She says"Oh no

What did I do with my check book"

After 5 minutes of digging through her purse

She borrows my pen because she's forgotten hers

But I have to be tolerant of customers because they pay my salary

And that's something I can't afford to forget

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard

Q26

What does the speaker say about customers’ entering the grocery store

Q27

Which customers are supposed to be in the express line

Q28

What does the speaker say some customers do when they arrive at the check-out counter

Q29

What does the speaker say about his job at the end of the talk

Passage 2

The speech delivery style of Europeans and Asians tends to be very formal

Speakers of these cultures often read oral presentations from carefully retain manual scripts

On the other hand

American speakers are generally more informal relative to speakers and other cultures

American audiences prefer natural

Spontaneous delivery that conveys a lively sense of communication

They don't relay well to speakers who read from a manual script

If you use an outline of your ideas instead of a prepare text

Your speech will not only sound more natural

But you will also be able to establish better relationship with your listeners and keep their attention

The language and style you use when making an oral presentation

Should not be the same as the language in style you use when writing

Well retain information

That is meant to be read

Does not work as well when it is heard

It is

Therefore

Important for you to adapt retain texts or outlines for presentations

Good speakers are much more informal when speaking than when writing

They also use their own words and develop their own speaking styles

Whenever possible

They use short words

Listeners are appreciated when speakers use simple

Everyday words in a presentation

One advantage is that it is much easier for speakers to pronounce short words correctly

Another is that long and sophisticated vocabulary choices make listening more difficult

Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard

Q30

What does the speaker say American audiences prefer

Q31

What should one pay attention to when making an oral presentation

Q32

What does the speaker focus on in the talk

Passage 3

Let children learn to judge their own work

A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time

If corrected too much

He will stop talking

He compares a thousand times a day the difference between

Language as he uses it and language as those around him use it

Bit by bit

He makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's

In the same way

Kids learning to do all the other things they learn without adult teachers

To walk

Run

Climb

Ride a bike

Play games

Compare their own performance with what more skilled people do

And slowly make the needed changes

But in school we never give a child a chance to detect his mistakes

We do it all for him

We act as if we thought he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him

Soon he becomes dependent on the expert

We should let him do it himself

Let him figure out

With the help of other children if he wants it

What this word says

What is the answer to that problem

Whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or that

If right answers need to be given

As in mathematics or science

Give him the answer book

Let him correct his own papers

Why should we teachers waste time on such tedious work

Our job should be to help the children

When they tell us that they can't find the way to get the right answer

Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard

Q33

How does a child learn to do something according to the speaker

Q34

What belief do teachers commonly hold according to the speaker

Q35 What does the speaker imply about the current way of teaching

Time is

For the average American

Of utmost importance

To the foreign visitor

Americans seem to be more concerned with getting things accomplished on time

(according to a predetermined schedule)than they are with developing deep interpersonal relations

Schedules

For the American

Are meant to be planned and then followed in the smallest detail

It may seem to you that most Americans are completely controlled

By the little machines they wear on their wrists

Cutting their discussions off abruptly to make it to their next appointment on time

Giving a clear indication of how much it is valued

Americans'language is filled with references to time

Time is something to be'on'

To be 'kept'

'Filled'

'Saved'

'Wasted'

'Gained'

'Planned'

'Given'

'Made the most of'

Even'killed'

The international visitor soon learns that it is considered very rude to be late

-- even by 10 minutes -- for an appointment in America

Time is so valued in America

Because by considering time to be important one can clearly achieve more than if one'wastes'time

And doesn't keep busy

This philosophy has proven its worth

It has enabled Americans to be extremely productive

And productivity itself is highly valued in America

Many American proverbs stress the value of guarding time

Using it wisely

And setting and working toward specific goals

Americans believe in spending their time and energy today

So that the fruits of their labor may be enjoyed at a later time

Now the passage will be read again
