CDirection: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).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet I with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestion 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16 In 1990,over 1O0 countries signed an international agreement to make it illegal to buy or sell ivory,which is mainly used for jewelry.Most ivory is made from the tusks of African elephants.These tusks are very valuableone pair is worth more than three times that an African farmer or factory worker earns in a year.17 Hunting elephants was so profitable that from 1979 to 1989 the number of elephants in Africa fell from 1.3 million to 600,000.It was feared that by the year 2000 there would be none left.However,since 1990 there has been much less illegal hunting,thanks to the international agreementBut it costs a lot of money to preserve elephants.Game wardens must be hired to protect them,land must be set aside for them,and when they destroy a farmers crops,the farmer must be paid compensation.Zimbabwe and four other African countries say that some of the elephants should be killed legally.18 This would help keep the population stable,and selling the ivory would help pay for preserving the elephants.But conservationists say that making ivory legal to sell would lead to even more illegal hunting.Others say that it is wrong to kill elephants because they are sensitive animals who feel emotional pain at the death of other elephants.Question 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.Q:What do we learn about the international agreement signed in 1990?A)Itwasaboutthebanonwearingjewelrymadefromivory.B)Itpassedaninternationallawtoceaseillegalhuntingofelephants.C)Itannouncedthatitshouldbeillegaltomakeanytransactionsofivory.D)ItwasaimedatpromotingdiewelfareofAfricanpeasantsandworkers.17.Q:What

do several African countries advocate legally killing some of the elephants?A)Tostabilizetheelephantpopulation.C)Torelievetheburdenonthelocalpeople.B)Toprotecttheenvironment.D)Toimprovetheinternationalagreement.Passage TwoWe hear it a lot in the news these days:Recycle newspapers and save a tree.Protecting our delicate environment seems to be on the agenda of politicians,government leaders,and citizens in many parts of the world to show support for mother nature.19 Three essential keys needed to power this movement include a more informed public,the development of improved technology,and a greater demand for recycled materials.Lets use paper as an example.The first step is to raise public awareness about the recycling process,to explain the kinds of materials that can be recycled,and provide ways on how to properly dispose of them.Local governments should educate the public on how to properly sort reusable materials from those that cant be recycled.Then,a system of 20 The public interest might be there,but soon may wane if there isnt a system where they can take these materials to be recycled.Give the public information they can grasp,and then you will increase your chances of gaining followers.21 Second,technological progress has been made on many fronts,but governmental agencies need to step up their support for companies involved in recycling by providing tax incentives,low-cost loans,or even grants to upgrade equipment and to encourage further research.The final key is to increase demand for the growing surplus of resources waiting to be recycled.Recycling is a crucial link in protecting our planet.The three keys mentioned are important ways to achieve this end.Question 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19.Q:What is the major topic for this passage?A)Importantkeystorecycling.B)Theimportanceoftechnologyforrecycling.C)Guidelinesforpaperrecycling.D)Raisingthepublicenvironmentalawareness.20.Q:How would the lack of a system for recycling affect the public interest?A)Thepublicwouldtrytogaininformationforrecyclingbyvariousmeans.B)Thepublicwouldloseinterestinrecyclinggradually.C)Thepublicwouldnotbeaffectedbythelackofasystem.D)Thepublicwouldteachandlearnfromeachotheraboutrecycling.21.Q:What can be done by the government to stimulate technological progress for recycling?A)Tosetupsitesforcollectingrecycledmaterials.B)Toteachthepublichowtoseparatevariouskindsofrecycledmaterials.C)Tomakepoliciesfavorableforupgradingequipmentforrecycling.D)Toincreasethedemandforrecycledmaterials.Passage Three22 Your assignment this term will be to write two major research paper.23 One of the most important things about writing a research paper is giving proper credit plagiarism is a kind of stealing,or at least,an unauthorized borrowing of someone elses ideas.24 Sometimes,inexperienced students will plagiarize unintentionally,and then be surprised when the teacher wont accept their papers,or gives them a failing grade.The best way to avoid unintentional plagiarizing is to be very careful in gathering your information as you take notes on books and magazine articles about the topic youve selected.Firstly,try to assimilate the information thoroughly.25 Secondly,write it down in your own words.This is called paraphrasing.If you do a good job of paraphrasing,youll capture the main idea from your source without actually using any phrases from it.Most of your notes should probably be paraphrases.However,occasionally you may find something you wish to quote directly in your research paper.In this case,be sure that you copy the quotation precisely in your note,and enclose it in quotation marks.That way when you are finalizing your research paper,youll be able to remember which of your notes are direct quotes,and which are your own summaries of the material.You can then incorporate them appropriately and give the original author proper credit.Question 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22.Q:What kind of assignment is the professor discussing with the students?A)Writingbookreports.C)Selectinginformationsources.B)Readingmagazinearticles.D)Writingresearchpapers.23.Q:What does the professor warn the students against doing?A)Stealingotherpeoplesideas.C)Givingcredittotheoriginalauthor.B)Turningintheassignmentlate.D)Gatheringirrelevantinformation.24.Q:Who are most likely to steal other peoples viewpoints unintentionally according to the professor?A)Inexperiencedstudents.C)Someteachers.B)PeopledoingresearchD)Magazinepublishers.25.Q:How should students take notes in most cases according to the prof
