friends,only one or two still drop me a line occasionally,Q:What does the woman mean?12.M:If you can make up your mind about the color,I can start on the outside of your house early next week.W:Well,right now I think I want white for the window frames and yellow for the walls,but Ill let you know tomorrow.Q:Who is the woman talking to?13.W:Excuse me,do you have any apartments available for under 500 dollars a month?I need to move in next week when my new job starts.M:The only vacant one I have is 600 dollars,have you inquired at the apartment complex down the street?Q:What does the man suggest the woman do?14.W:You bought a pair of jeans yesterday,didnt you?What are they like?M:Oh,they are pretty much like my other ones,except with a larger waist.I guess I havent spent much time exercising lately.Q:What can we infer from the conversation about the man?15.W:I really like those abstract paintings we saw yesterday.What do you think?M:I guess its something I havent acquired a taste for yet.Q:What does the man imply?16.W:You havent seen a blue notebook,have you?I hope I didnt leave it in the reading room.M:Did you check that pile of journals youve borrowed from the library the other day?Q:What is the man trying to say to the woman?17.M:How about joining me for a cup of coffee?W:Id love to,but Im exhausted.I was up till 3 this morning,writing a paper for my literature class.Q:Why does the woman decline the mans invitation?18.W:You had a job interview yesterday,didnt you?How did it go?M:Not too bad,I guess.There were about 20 candidates competing for the sales managers job.And finally it was down to three of us,but the other two seemed better qualified.文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6 HV5I3I8X3P3 ZW1Q6H7Y8Q2文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6 HV5I3I8X3P3 ZW1Q6H7Y8Q2文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6

HV5I3I8X3P3 ZW1Q6H7Y8Q2Q:What does the man imply?长对话 1 F:Simon,how does it feel to be retired?M:Well,not so bad.F:How have you been spending your time?M:I have been spending more time with my family.Ive also travelled a bit,you know,off season when everywhere is less crowded and hotels cost less.F:Great.M:You know I havent stopped work completely.F:Yes,could you tell us more about this?M:Im on a scheme thats called phased retirement;I had a six-month break from work,after that I could apply for project work with the company I used to work for.F:How does the scheme work?M:Well,its a trial at the moment.Instead of hiring temporary stuff,the company advertises posts on its website that retired employees like myself can access.F:What sort of works advertised?M:Well,all sorts of things,really.Administrative work and more specialized work,the sort of thing I can do.Some of the projects can last five or six months,and others can just be a couple of days.I can decide more or less when to work.So I can manage my own time.F:I can see its good for you.What is your company get out of this?M:Well,I still have all my old contacts at work,so I know who to contact to get something done.The company gets flexibility,too.Once the jobs over,thats it.Im not on their books any more.Questions 19-21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19.Why does Simon find his retired life enjoyable?20.How does Simon get to know about the companys available posts?21.Why does the company adopt the phased retirement scheme?长对话 2 W:Oh,where are we going?M:I want to show you something.W:I know,but what is it?M:A farm.Its just down this road.Its a small place,but at least it would be our own.W:A farm?How can we afford to buy a farm?M:It isnt very large,only 40 acres.We wouldnt have to pay very much right now.W:Is there a house on the place?M:A small one,two bedrooms,but it needs to be fixed up a little.I can do the job myself.文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6 HV5I3I8X3P3 ZW1Q6H7Y8Q2文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6 HV5I3I8X3P3 ZW1Q6H7Y8Q2文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6 HV5I3I8X3P3 ZW1Q6H7Y8Q2文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6 HV5I3I8X3P3 ZW1Q6H7Y8Q2文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6 HV5I3I8X3P3

growing,if we do take this place?M:Well,it really isnt big enough for corn.I thought we might try to raise a crop of potatoes.W:Potatoes?There are a lot of work.M:We are used to hard work,arent

is my privilege to introduce to you today Mr.Robert Washington,chief of our citys police force.He will address us on the subject of the Community Policing Program.Most of you know that Mr.Washington has a distinguished record as head of our police force for more than ten years.However,you may not know that he also holds a masters degree in criminology and studied abroad for a year with the international police force which deals with crimes around the world.Mr.Washington first introduced the Community Policing Program 8 years ago.The idea behind the program is to get the police officers out of their cars and into our neighborhoods where they can talk directly to merchants and residents about the real dynamics of our city.These officers do more than make arrests.They try to find ways to help solve the problems that contribute to crime in the first place.Often that means hooking people up with services offered by other city agencies,such as schools,hospitals,housing,drug treatment centers.And the program seems to be working:crime is down and our citizens report that they feel more secure.Today Mr.Washington is going to tell us more about this program.Now lets welcome Mr.Robert Washington.26.What is the purpose of the speakers remarks?27.What does the speaker say about Mr.Robert Washington?28.What is the idea behind the Community Policing Program?29.How has the Community Policing Program turned out to be?Passage Two There are between 3000 and 6000 public languages in the world,and we must add 文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6 HV5I3I8X3P3 ZW1Q6H7Y8Q2文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6 HV5I3I8X3P3

ZW1Q6H7Y8Q2文档编码:CF10I6K6D5T6 HV5I3I8X3P3 ZW1Q6H7Y8Q2approximately 6 billion private languages since each one of us necessarily has one.Considering these facts,the possibilities for breakdowns in communication seem infinite in number.However,we do communicate successfully from time to time.And we do learn to speak languages.But learning to speak languages seems to be a very mysterious process.For a long time,people thought that we learned a language only by imitation and association.For example,a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry.The mother says,Hot,hot!And the baby,when it stops crying,imitates the mother and says,Hot,hot!However,Noam Chomsky,a famous expert in language,pointed out that although children do learn some words by imitation and association,they also combine words to make meaningful sentences in ways that are unique,unlearned and creative.Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before,Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with the ability to learn language.Chomsky meant that underneath all the differences between public and private languages,there is a universal language mechanism that makes it possible for us,as infants,to learn any language in the world.This theory explains the potential that human infants have for learning language.But it does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you
