Oneof my most useful childhood memories were dinner with my parents and82. was two sisters. As a result, last year I decided that 夷 entire family would have 83. the dinner together three days a week, because we found that we seldom hada chance to get gather as a family. We thought it would be possible for84. together everyone to set aside three evenings a week for a sit-down dinner. First wetried setting three fixed days for our experimentMondays, Wednesdays,85. 姨and Fridays. After a couple of weeks of trying this plan, almost everyonewas happy. Then my son had the idea of having everyone put their86. unhappy plan for the week on the top of the TV set every Sunday. I wouldchoose the three best days. For a while, the kids continue to resist the87. continued idea. They said they would rather spend the time playing with their friends ortake part in some activities. Gradually, though, they began to see these88. taking evenings together in a different way. We had laughed a lot and we89. had discussed each other蒺s problems. Now before a couple of months, we all90. after feel that we have been able to build much strong relationships within91. stronger the family than we had before.Part VII IQ Test92.

Go to nine.95. 2 or 4.（All the numbers are multiples of 2 or 4.）96. 1B.Part VIII Writing (30 marks)Section A Sample:蒺97. The chart provides a summary of the average number of hours married men and women work every day both inside and outside of the home. In both age groups shown, the total number of hours worked by married women is greater than the total number of hours worked by married men. Men aged 25 to 44 spend only slightly more time working outside of the home than men aged 45 to 64, but this figure is significantly higher than the number of hours of paid work that women of the same age do. Women in the 25 to 44 age group work almost as many hours inside the home as outside, and there s only a slight difference in the 45 to 64 age group. However, men work on average three times longer outside of the home than inside.蒺Section B Sample:蒺蒺98. Personality is the distinctive character or quality of a person, and it s also believed by many people to be the decisive factor in one s destiny. Personality such as sociability, honesty, aggressiveness and stubbornness distinguishes one person from another, deciding his way of dealing with everything. A conservative person would never take the lead in any pioneering path, so we hardly find him in the list of great revolutionists.蒺蒺On the other hand, some people don t think the above statement valid because they believe that the key to a person s fate is held by no one but himself. Personality isn t innate or unchangeable. A careless person could also become a great mathematician if he knows his own weak point and often reminds himself to be more careful. Where there is a will, there is a way. We 蒺 re the only master of our own destiny.Finally, I can 蒺 t entirely agree with the idea that personality decides destiny; I believe personality might have some influence on destiny, but it can蒺t decide it. All in all, we hold our destiny in our own hands.作文评分标准： 一、评分原则：1. 本题满分为 A 10 分；B 20 分，按四个档次给分。2. 评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整本档次，最后给分。3.

Each conversation will be read only once. At the end of each conversation, one question will be asked, and you have fifteen seconds to read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.1. W: Do you want to go home now?M: Yes, I think I 蒺 ll take the things we bought home.W: OK. I蒺ll go to the office. I蒺ve got lots to do for my boss. I蒺ll come home later, straight from the office.M: OK. I 蒺 d better hurry. My brother 蒺 s waiting at the house.W: Good. I hope he 蒺 ll still be there when I get homeI haven 蒺 t seen him for ages.Question: Who 蒺 s waiting for the man?2. W: Good evening, sir. May I help you?M: Yes, I think I left my camera on the train from London earlier today.W: Did you, sir? Oh, well, in that case we 蒺 d better fill in a Lost Property form. Now, you said it was the London train. What time did it arrive in Edinburgh?M: At 4:55 this afternoon, exactly on time. W: Right you are sir. We 蒺 ll do our best Question: Where did the train come from?3. M: How do you like my tie?W: Your tie? Well, uh . I think it 蒺 s nice.M: You don 蒺 t really like it, do you?W: Well, uh .M: Come on! Be honest with me!W: Well . To be honest, I think it 蒺 s a little bright.M: Hmm. You may be right.Question: What does the woman think of the tie?4. M: Hi, Kathy. We 蒺 re going to have a party this evening. Will you come?W: Yes, I 蒺 d love to. What time?M: 6:30.W: I 蒺 m afraid I 蒺 ll be a little late. My piano lesson finishes at 7:00.M: That蒺s OK.Question: When will Kathy go to the party?5. M: Ah, Tina. Is the design for the conference centre ready?W: Er, no. I was .M: But you know I need it for tomorrow and I asked you to stop working on everything else until you finished it.W: I know, I 蒺 ve been working on it all day, but I haven 蒺 t finished it yet. I 蒺 m sorry.Question: Why is the man angry?Section B In this section, you will hear two long conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. At the end of each conversation, there will be a one-minute pause. During the pause, read the questions and make your answers on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.Conversation OneListen to the conversation, mark each statement as either True (T) or False (F) according to your listening.W: Hi, Simon, how are you? How is your new car going?M: Oh, don 蒺 t ask me, Anna. It 蒺 s a nightmare! I never should have bought it!W: Why? What 蒺 s wrong? I thought you 蒺 d got one of those fancy new models?M: I did, but that 蒺 s part of the problem. If I 蒺 d bought a second-hand car, I wouldn 蒺 t have taken out this big bank loan I 蒺 ve got now.W: Oh, so I suppose you 蒺 ve got big repayments to make?M: Yes, and I can 蒺 t sell the car until I 蒺 ve paid for it. But it 蒺 s not only that. I had no idea running a car was going to be so expensive! I wish I蒺d thought about the other costs before I bought it.W: It probably wouldn 蒺 t be so bad if the price of petrol hadn 蒺 t almost doubled last month.M: Don 蒺 t remind methe petrol alone is costing me a fortune!W: Lucky you 蒺 ve got that part-time job then!M: That蒺s just the thing. Nearly all of my wages are going on the car. If I蒺d waited a bit before buying the car,I 蒺 d have managed to save quite a bit by now. I might even have gone on that college trip last week; it sounded great.W: Oh, dear. Can 蒺 t you ask your dad to help you out?M: No way! When my granddad left me some money, my dad didn 蒺 t want me to spend it on a car. If only I 蒺 d listened to him, none of this would have happened! I wish he wasn蒺t always right!W: Well, maybe you should value his opinions more. You do seem to argue with him a lot. If you got on better with him, you might have listened to his suggestions.M: The worst thing is, Dad wanted me to buy some shares with the money and now they 蒺 ve gone up by thirty per cent. I should have listened to him. If I 蒺 d taken his advice, I 蒺 d own a small fortune now instead of a big debt!W: Oh, Simon, you poor thing. I wish I could help you but I have even less money than you. At least youhave a car!M: Oh, don 蒺 t say that! I wish I 蒺 d never bought the car! If it weren 蒺 t for the car, I 蒺 d have no money worries now.Conversation TwoListen to the conversation, mark each question as A, B, C or D according to what you hear.W: It 蒺 s an absolute scandal. My friend Mrs Stanley says that at least twenty people have already written to the council to complain.M: To complain about what?W: Haven 蒺 t you heard? The gas company is thinking of pulling down all those old houses in Salt Lane and selling the land to a property company to build office blocks. And the council is doing absolutely nothing about it.M: Well, those old houses are in pretty bad condition.W: That 蒺 s not the point. The point is it 蒺 s not fair. There 蒺 s a housing shortage. There 蒺 re people who have been living and working in this district for over twenty years, and still haven 蒺 t got a decent place to live. It 蒺 s a shame.M: Well, I suppose the gas company is in business like everyone else. The land those houses are built on is worth a good price.W: Worth a good price? What we want are new homes in Salt Lane, not office blocks. One of the cashiers who works in the supermarket lives in Salt Lane. And she says she and her husband have been on the housing list since ten years ago. And every time they write, the only reply they get is a printed postcard saying“the matter is receiving attention”.M: I don 蒺 t see what it has to do with the gas company demolishing those old houses in Salt Lane. Particularly if they 蒺 re in the condition you say they are.W: Why don 蒺 t you listen? I 蒺 ve just told you. The gas company has no right to sell that land for office blocks.It 蒺 s all wrong. The proper thing is for them to put up some high-rise flats and move those families in Salt Lane into them as quickly as possible.M: Aren 蒺 t you getting a bit too worked up about it? I mean I 蒺 m sure the gas company knows what they 蒺 re doing.W: Know what they 蒺 re doing! They don 蒺 t know their right hand from their left. I must say something will have to be done about it. I 蒺 m setting up a petition for a start and everyone I 蒺 ve spoken to so far has promised to sign. And there 蒺 s another thing .M: Oh, what 蒺 s that, dear?W: I want to write to the local paper and make a formal complaint on behalf of the residents of Salt Lane.M: But we don 蒺 t live in Salt Lane.W: I know but that cashier in the supermarket does. She says it 蒺 s terrible. She never knows whether she has lit her cooker properly or not, because of the smell from the gas works.M: Uh, before you write, I 蒺 ve got something to tell you.W: Oh, um, nothing bad, I hope.M: No, I don 蒺 t think so. It 蒺 s just that my firm is moving offices next year.W: Moving? Where to?M: To one of the new office blocks in Salt Lane.Section CIn this section, you will hear five short news items. Each item will be read only once. After each item, there will be a fifteen- second pause. During the pause, read the question and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.16. The European Union has drafted a list of US products to be hit with import taxes in retaliation for tariffs the United States has imposed on European steel. EU member governments will review the list before the EU submits it to the World Trade Organization, which arbitrates international trade disputes. EU officialswon 蒺 t say which American products will be hit by the EU sanctions. But diplomats monitoring the most recent transatlantic trade dispute say they include textiles and steel products.17. Scientists in Brazil claim they 蒺 ve come up with a new way of treating burns. That is, with frog skin. Researchers say it 蒺 s cheap and effective. The frog skin has components that diminish the growth of bacteria, making the wound heal faster and reducing the amount of time that the patient has to stay in hospital. Researchers say the method has already been successfully used in some hospitals in Brazil.18. A United Nations 蒺 report said humans are very likely the cause of most of the temperature increases in the last fifty years. The scientists say there 蒺 s a greater than a 90% chance that greenhouse gases are the main cause of rising temperatures and sea levels. The report also lin
