2、ve you to the airport next Thursday, but Im afraid something has come up. Theyve called a special meeting at work.W: No big deal. Karen said she was available as a back-up.Q: What does the woman mean?13.W: Have you saved enough money for a trip to Hawaii?M: Not even close. My uncle must put the brak

3、es on my travelling plans.Q: What does the man mean?14.M: Im starving. Do we still have any pie left from the dinner yesterday?W: Oh, Julia invited her friends over in the afternoon and they ate it all.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?15.W: Three letters of recommendation are required to ap

4、ply to graduate schools. I was wondering if the one professor Smith wrote for me last year could still be used.M: Its a bit dated. Youd better submit a recent one.Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?16.W: Ive noticed that you spend a lot of time tending your garden. Would you like to join our

5、gardening club? We meet every other Wednesday.M: Oh, thanks for the invitation, but this is how I relax. Id rather not make it something formal and structured.Q: What can we infer about the man?17.M: I heard the recent sculpture exhibit was kind of disappointing.W: Thats right. I guess a lot of othe

6、r people feel the way I do about modern art.Q: What does the woman mean?18.M: Bob is running for chairman of the student union. Would you vote for him?W: Oh, I cant decide right now because I have to find out more about the other candidates.Q: What does the woman mean?Conversation OneW: I dont know

7、what to do. I cant seem to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my complaints and this outdated equipment is dangerous. Just look at it.M: Hmm, uh, are you trying to say that it presents a health hazard?W: Yes, I am. The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to

8、replace it, but they are trying to cut costs.M: You are pregnant, arent you?W: Yes, I am. I made an effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department, but he urged me not to complain too loudly. Because the administration is more likely to replace me than an X-ray equipment, Im afraid

9、 to refuse to work. But Im more afraid to expose my unborn child to the radiation.M: I see what you mean. Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would take quite a while to force management to replace the old machines and attempt to get you transferred may or may not be succe

10、ssful.W: Oh, what am I supposed to do then?M: Workers have the legal right to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal laws, the Occupation or Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act.

11、nk I have a good case?M: If you do lose your job, the union will fight to get it back for you along with back pay, your lost income. But you have to be prepared for a long wait, maybe after two years.Q19. What does the woman complain about?Q20. What has the woman asked her supervisor to do?Q21. What

12、 does the man say about the two federal laws?Q22. What will the union do if the woman loses her job?Conversation TwoW: Mr. Green, is it fair to say that negotiation is an art?M: Well, I think its both an art and science. You can prepare for a negotiation quite scientifically, but the execution of th

13、e negotiation has quite a lot to do with ones artistic quality. The scientific part of a negotiation is in determining your strategy. What do you want out of it? What can you give? Then of course there are tactics. How do you go about it? Do you take an opening position in a negotiation which differ

14、s from the eventual goal you are heading for? And then of course there are the behavioral aspects.W: What do you mean by the behavioral aspects?M: Well, thats I think where the art comes in. In your behavior, you can either be an actor. You can pretend that you dont like things which you are actuall

15、y quite pleased about. Or you can pretend to like things which you are quite happy to do without. Or you can be the honest type negotiator whos known to his partners in negotiation and always plays everything straight. But the artistic part of negotiation I think has to do with responding immediatel

16、y to cues one gets in the process of negotiation. These can be verbal cues or even body language. This is where the artistic quality comes in.W: So really, you see two types of negotiator then, the actor or the honest one.M: That right. And both can work. I would say the honest negotiator can be qui

17、te effective in some circumstances. In other circumstances you need an actor.Q23. When is a scientific approach best embodied in a negotiation according to the man?Q24. In what way is a negotiator like an actor according to the man?Q25. What does the man say about the two types of negotiator?Section

18、 BPassage 1A scientific team is studying the thinking ability of eleven and half month old children. The test is a simple one. The baby watches a sort of show on a small stage. In Act One of the show, a yellow cube is lifted from a blue box, and moved across the stage. Then it is returned to the box

19、. This is repeated 6 times. Act Two is similar except that the yellow cube is smaller. Baby boys do not react at all to the difference and the size of the cube. But girls immediately become excited. The scientists interpret the girls excitement as meaning they are trying to understand what they have

20、 just seen. They are wondering why Act Two is odd and how it differs from Act One. In other words, the little girls are reasoning. This experiment certainly does not definitely prove that girls start to reason before boys, but it provides a clue that scientists would like to study more carefully. Al

21、ready it is known that bones, muscles and nerves develop faster in baby girls. Perhaps it is early nerve development that makes some infant girls show more intelligence than infant boys. Scientists have also found that nature seems to give another boost to girls. Baby girls usually talk at an earlie

22、r age than boys do. Scientists think that there is a physical reason for this. They believe that the nerve endings in the left side of the brain develop faster in girls than in boys, and it is this side of the brain that strongly influences an individuals ability to use language and remember things.

23、Q26. What is the difference between Act One and Act Two in the test?Q27. How do the scientists interpret their observation from the experiment?Q28. What does the speaker say about the experiment?Q29. According to scientists, what is another advantage given to girls by nature?Passage 2A super attenda

24、nt of the city municipal building, Dillia Adorno, was responsible for presenting its new security plan to the public. City employees, citizens and reporters gathered in the hall to hear her describe the plan. After outlining the main points she would cover, she assured the audience that she would be

25、 happy to answer questions at the end of her presentation. Dillia realized the plan was expensive and potentially controversial. So she was not surprised to see a number of hands go up as soon as she finished speaking. An employ asked, “Would the new system create long lines to get into the building

26、 like the line in the airport security checks?” Dillia had anticipated this question and had an answer ready. After repeating the question, she explained that the sufficient number of security guards would be working at peak hours to speed things along. The next question was more confrontational.”Wh

27、ere was the money come from to pay for all of this?”The journalists who ask the question seem hostile. But Dillia was careful not to adopt the defensive tone. She stated that the money would come from the citys general budget. “I know these are tide times”, she added, “But everyone agrees on the imp

28、ortance of safe guarding our employees and members of the public who come into the building.” Near the end of the 25 minutes she has said, Dillia said she would take two more questions. When those were finished, she concluded the session with a brief restatement of how the new system will improve se

29、curity and peace of mind in the municipal building.Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. What is the focus of Dillia Adornos presentation?31. What question had Dillia Adorno anticipated?32. What did the speakers think of the question from the journalist?Passage 3Despite

30、unemployment and the lost of her home, Andrea Clark considers herself a blessed and happy woman. Why the cheerful attitude? Her troubles have brought her closer to her family. Last year, Andreas husband, Rick, a miner in Nevada was laid off. Though Andrea kept her job as a school bus driver, she kne

31、w that they couldnt pay their bill and support their youngest of five children, Zack, age nine, on one income. “At first their church helped out, but you cant keep that up forever”, Andrea says. Then Michal, their eldest of her four adult children suggested they move in with his family. For almost t

32、hree months, seven Clarks lived under one roof. Andrea, Rick and Zack stayed in the basement department, sharing laundry and single bathroom with Michal, his wife and their two children.The change cut their expenditures in half, but the new living arrangement proved too challenging. When Andrea foun

33、d a job with a school district closer to her mothers home in west Jorden, Utah, the family decided to move on. Packing up again with no picnic, Zack had to switch schools for the second time and space is even tighter. Andrea says that the moves themselves are exhausting and Rick is still looking for

34、 a job.The recession has certainly come with more problems than Andrea anticipated, but she remains unfailingly optimistic. She is excited to spend more time with her mother. Another plus, rents are lower in Utah than in Nevada. So Andrea thinks theyll be able to save up and move out in less than 6

35、months.Questions 33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q33 What do we learn about Andreas husband?Q34 Why did Andrea move to live in her eldest sons home?Q35 What is Andreas attitude toward the hardships brought by the economic recession?Section CMountain climbing is becoming a popular

36、sport, but it is also a potentially dangerous one. People can fall. They may also become ill. One of the most common dangers to climbers is altitude sickness, which can affect even very experienced climbers. Altitude sickness usually begins when a climber goes above 8,000 to 9,000 feet. The higher o

37、ne climbs, the less oxygen there is in the air. When people dont get enough oxygen, they often begin to gasp for air. They may also feel dizzy and light-headed. Besides these symptoms of altitude sickness, others such as headache and fatigue may also occur. At heights of over 18,000 feet, people may

38、 be climbing in a constant daze. Their state of mind can have adverse affect on their judgment. A few precautions can help most climbers avoid altitude sickness. The first is not to go too high, too fast. If you climb to 10,000 feet, stay at that height for a day or two. Your body needs to get used

39、to a high altitude before you climb to a even higher one. Or if you do climb higher sooner, come back down to a lower height when you sleep. Also, drink plenty of liquids and avoid tobacco and alcohol. When you reach your top height, do like activities rather than sleep too much. You breathe less wh

40、en you sleep, so you get less oxygen. The most important warning is this: if you have severe symptoms, then dont go away, go down. Dont risk injury or death because of over-confidence or lack of knowledge.听力答案第一版本：听力12.Steele .。13.The fringe .。14.The crab .。15.Curnow had lost .。16. Theres .。17.The w
