Section A:
11. M: I have an appointment to see Doctor Mary for a physical examination. W: Please have a seat. She is in surgery right now. Q: Where does this conversation takeplace?
12. W: Could I hand in my plan a few days later?
M: I’m afraid that’s out of the question. Q: What does the man mean? 13. W: What do you plan to do this weekend?
M: I’m going to be lazy at home, maybe do some cleaning, watch TV, and work on my gardening.
Q: Where is the man going to spend his weekend? 14. W: When will the train from New York City arrive?
M: It was scheduled to be here at 9:35, but now it is expected to be 25 minutes behind schedule.
Q: When is the train expected to arrive now? 15. W: Jackseems to be bored with his new job. M: That’s just like him.
Q: What can be inferred from the conversation? 16. M: I wonder if Fiona’s number is listed.
W: The phone book is over there on the television. Q: What does the woman suggest to the man?
17. W: We are going swimming tomorrow. Would you like to join us?
M: I’m afraid I can’t. Recently whenever I get into the pool my right leg aches. Q: Why can’t the man go swimming?
18. M: Marsha told me she would graduate in June.
W: Only if she would get the English course out of the way. Q: What does the woman imply?
Now you will hear two long conversations. Conversation one
M: What would you like to do this Sunday? W: I’m not sure. Have you got
any ideas? M: I’d really like to playfootball with some friends. What do you think of that? W: There’s nothing I like less than football. M: I’m sorry you feel that way.
W:
But I’m fond of climbing mountains. We could climb a mountain. M: I’m
afraid I don’t carefor climbing mountains. W: OK. What else would you enjoy doing?
M: I’m crazy about music. We could get together and sing with the guitar. W:
That’s all right, I guess.
M: You don’t sound very enthusiastic. W: I can’t sing well, so I avoid singing.
M: Hey! Why don’t we have a picnic?
W: That’s a good idea! I like to go on picnics. M: Let’s have it in the forest. W: I don’t like the forest a bit, too cold.
M: I enjoy the sunny countryside. So let’s have it there. W: That’s a terrific idea! M: Then we are agreed?
W:
Yes, Sunday at eight. I’ll tell the others. I’m pleased.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. What does the woman think of football? 20.
What does the woman like to do?
21. What will they do together? 22.
When will they go?
Conversation two M: Come in, Joan. Have you finished that report for me yet?
W:
Yes, Mr. Canfield, but I haven’t had time to prepare the sales figures yet, I’m
afraid. M:
That’s all right, I know you’ve been busy. I believe you’ve moved to a
new house. W:
Not quite, we’re moving next week. We’ve been in our
present house since 1987
and it’s gotten too small for us now. M: Well, I hope the new place suits you better.
W:
I think so. It’s taken us six months to find a bigger place that we like—one
with a bigger garden. Since the children have grown they need a lot more space. M: Well, the best of luckwith the new place—I hope the move goes well. W:
Thanks. Oh, by the way, I’ve sent a copy of the report to Mr. Hansen—is
that OK? M: Yes, good idea. Miss Grace, our sales director, has just asked me about it in fact.
They’ve already decided to accept whatever suggestions you’ve made, so they ob- viously trust your judgment. W: That’s good. I’ll go and make a start on the sales figures now then. M:
OK Joan. I’ll see you later when you’ve finished them.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23. What is the woman going to do next week? 24. How long did the woman find a bigger house? 25.

Section B Passage One
The younger members of most American families do not like foreign food. They like a kind of food called HAMBURGERS. Their idea of a good meal is a hamburger, served with ketchup, a sort of thick tomato sauce, and fried potatoes, which are called French Fries. French fries are not considered foreign; most American children and teenagers love to eat them any time of the day or night.
Millions of hamburgers and French fries are eaten every year. Thousands of roadside restaurants prepare and sell them. These are not really restaurants in the usual sense; they often have little space for tables and chairs. Many people buy their hamburgers and take them home to eat, or eat them in their cars.
Sometimes it is not necessary to go inside in order to buy the hamburgers. They are ordered through a window in the restaurant and then are handed out through the window to the customer. Sometimes the customer doesn’t even have to get
out of his car. When an American family travels abroad, this is almost always the custom that the younger members of the family miss most.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. According to the passage, what do most American children and teenagers
love to eat?
27. Why is it sometimes not necessary to go inside a restaurant to buy hamburgers?
28. What can be inferred from the passage? Passage Two
People have always wanted to fly. For hundreds of years they watched birds flying and wished that they could fly too.
At first they made wings like birds. Then they jumped off high buildings and tried to fly. Many people did this but they all failed to fly. They crashed to the ground. Then two brothers tried another way.
They built a balloon. It was made of thin cloth and paper. They lit a fire beneath it. Up into the air it went. It reached a height of 1,800 metres.A few months later the brothers sent up another balloon with a basket underneath containing a sheep, a duck and a hen. The balloon traveled to a place two and a half kilo- meters away. In October 1783 a man went up with a balloon, but it didn’t rise very high. A month later two more people went up in a balloon full of hot air. The balloon rose to a height of 900 metres. The wind blew it along for nine kilometers. Then it came back gently to earth. People had traveled through the air for the first time! Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. How did people first learn to fly? 30. How high did the first balloon reach? 31. What is the main idea of the passage? Passage Three
The Atlantic Ocean is one of the oceans that separate the 0ld World from the New. For centuries it kept the Americas from being discovered by the people of Europe. Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into it. One idea was that it reached out to “the edge of the world”. Sailors were afraid that they might sail right off the earth. Another idea was that at the equator the ocean would be boiling hot.
The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 mileswide where Columbus crossed it. Even at its narrowest spot it is about 2,000 miles wide. This narrowest place is between South America and Africa.
Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean.
There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by river, it would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up. On the average the water is a little more than two miles deep, but in some places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico. This “depth” measures 30,246 feet—almost six miles. Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 32. Which of the following statements is true about the Atlantic Ocean? 33. What made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into the Atlantic? 34. Which of the following statements is true?
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? Section C: Compound Dictation
Summer means internships(实习) for thousands of American college students. They are working in the kinds of jobs they might want to have some day.
Experts say at least one-third of all American college students complete an in- ternship before they (36) graduate. Most work at an internship during the summer when they do not (37) attend classes. Some work at an internship during other times of the year. Others do an internship soon after (38) completing college. Some people work for large (39) companies. Some work for small (40) organizations. Some work for the United States (41) government.
Many interns do not earn money at their summer jobs. Some college students get an internship to gain (42) experience in the kind of job they want to get after
graduation. Others do not yet know what kind of (43) permanent job they want. So, they may get internships in several different companies or organizations. (44) In this way, they can find out what kind of job they like best. Why are internships so popu- lar? Students can learn about different kinds of jobs. (45) They can do interesting work. They can learn skills and gain valuable experience. And they can meet impor- tant people. (46) Studentsoften describe internships as a chance that happens once in a lifetime. Key to Model Test (6)

Environmental Protection
With the development of industry and the increasing of world population, the problem of environmental pollution is getting more and more serious. There appear different kindsof pollution on the earth such as air pollution, water pollution, and noise pollution. Every day, factories give off a huge piles of wastes. People discard and release a mountain of daily garbage and rubbish. Vehicles send out sharp noises. How terrible the environment we are living in.
People are now showing a real concern over the problem. Since the pollution does a great harm to our environment, esp. to our health, people more and more realize that we should take effective measures to get rid of pollution. Therefore, there are frequent reports about pollution in the media. Every country often holds conference in order to come up with good ways to control it.
Fortunately, a lot of measures have been taken to cope with the current situation. Firstly, every government has made the strict law to punish those who destroy the en- vironment in different degrees. Secondly, scientists have found out the efficient ways to reuse and recycle wastes. Thirdly, city builders have designed properly to reduce the pollution to the minimum. Finally, trees, flowers and grass have been planted in many places. If everyone on the earth makes up his mind to protect the motherland, the envi- ronment around us will become definitely clean and beautiful again quite soon.

Section B Passage One
The journey two drivers made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be studied. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents or signs of life.
It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and so be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball dis- appeared under the surface of the water.
The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers of water. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3,000 feet, the tele- phone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise: even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of “dust” made up of small dead sea-creatures. Here, power- ful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. What did the drivers want to find at the deepest point on the earth? 27. Why did the drivers set out early in the morning? 28. What did the drivers find on the ocean floor? Passage Two
For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that “it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations”!
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great re- sources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our nor- mal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort ( it is not, of course, recom- mended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. What can we conclude from the passage?
30. Where are many English words and phrases we use today from according to the passage?
31. Who should read Shakespeare’s plays in order to learn the richness of English language?
32. What is the author’s purpose to introduce the information? Passage Three
It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and/or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the en- tire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels ( coal and oil) is creating a greenhouse effect —holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s tempera- ture is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water.
Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the atmo- sphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature 。a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will make up for each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. How did people use to think about air pollution?

Contemporary American Art Goes to Asia
An exhibition of (36) contemporary American art begins a six-city tour of (37) Asia this week. “Outward Bound: American Art at the Brink of the Twenty-first Century” opens on August 25th at the Museum of Fine Artsin Hanoi.
“Outward Bound”, which was (38) organized by Meridian International Center, is not a (39) definitive survey, but it does provide a (40) glimpse of American Art at the end of the 20th century. The show (41) features 85 works by 78 artists, and although it pre- miered (首创)here in the United States, curator(馆长) Nancy Matthews says she selected the works with a foreign (42) audience in mind. “Meridian’s (43)exhibitions are designed to (44) build bridges between cultures and to promote international understanding through fine art. We have done a number of exhibitions here in Washington, (45) which we brought here and then sent across America for Americans to see art from other countries. This is our first attempt to (46) take American art abroad and to make a complete exchange. We
tried to show America as a place, as a feeling, as a representative of our various ethnic groups, our regions. Key to Model Test (7) Part I. Writing Sample Writing:
A Letter to the University President about the Service of the School Hospital Dear Mr. President,
I am sorry to disturb you. I’m one of the freshmen from the Foreign Languages Department. I’m writing this letter to you just wanting to say something about the ser- vice of our school hospital on behalf of most of the students of my department.
Generally speaking, we are quite satisfied with the service of our school hospital. The medicine here is comparatively cheaper but effective in treatment. The staff are friendly and patient. Most of them have high medical skills. However, we find some of the young doctors are not so patient to the patients and sometimes they don’t know what medicine to prescribe to the patients. So it’s urgent for them to improve their skills and service as soon as possible.
Another thing we want to mention is the environment of the hospital. It’s quite clean. But it is always crowded and many patients stand there waiting for a long time since there is not enough space and seats for them. Therefore, we also hope that this problem can be solved as soon as possible. We are looking forward to your feedback. Yours sincerely, Li Ming
