24、questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Mrs. Taylor was over eighty, but she still drove her old
25、 car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast and boasted of the fact that she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been punished for a driving offence.Then one day she nearly lost her record. A police car followed her, and the policemen in it saw her pass a red light withou
26、t stopping. When Mrs. Taylor came before the judge, he looked at her severely and said that she was too old to drive a car, and that the reason why she had not stopped at the red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age, so that she had simply not seen it.When the judge had
27、 finished what he was saying, Mrs. Taylor opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing. Without saying a word, she chose a needle with a very small eye, and threaded it at her first attempt.When she had successfully done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed
28、 both the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, “Now, its your turn. I suppose you drive a car, and that you have no doubts about your eyesight.”The judge took the needle and tried to thread it. After half a dozen attempts, he had still not succeeded. The case against Mrs. Taylor was dismissed
29、 and her record remained unbroken.(Listen again, please.)Questions:11. What did Mrs. Taylor often boast?12. According to the judge, why didnt Mrs. Taylor stop at the red light?13. How did Mrs. Taylor prove that the judge was wrong?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. By the en
30、d of the term I hope youll be convinced that formal writing always requires revision. Sometimes it requires a fairly major rewriting of the paper. Some students may have the mistaken idea that revision means simply making corrections in spelling and grammar. I call that proof-reading. What I expect
31、you to do as you revise is to value and improve the overall effectiveness of your paper. But how can you tell if your paper is effective? Well, for example, start by asking yourself these questions: Is the topic restricted enough to be fully discussed within the given links? Are the main ideas clear
32、? Are they supported by the specific details in the examples? Do they move smoothly from one idea to the next? Youll need enough time for a possible major repair, that is, you may have to make a lot of changes before your paper becomes really clear to the reader. So Ill expect a draft of each paper
33、two weeks before the final due date. That way I can criticize it and get it back in time for you to revise it. Then you can turn in a final draft for grading. This process may seem like a great deal of trouble at first but I think you will find it valuable. In fact after you finish this course I dou
34、bt that you will ever turn in a term paper without first revising it carefully.(Listen again, please.)Questions:14. What should the students aim be when they revise their work? 15. When should the first draft be turned in? 16. What is the purpose of the talk?Section CDirections: In Section C, you wi

36、oy going through secondhand bookstores, dont you, David? Its interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of childrens stories?M: Some of these books arent so old, Jenny. See? This mystery was published only six years ago. It costs 75 cents. You cant beat that!W: H
37、ey! Look at this!M: What? Are you getting interested in 19th century poetry all of a sudden? W: No. Look! Someone gave this book as a present and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. Its dated 1893. Maybe its worth something.M: Everything on that shelf is worth 50 cents.W: But if this is a
38、 signature of someone who is well known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeares signature is worth about a million dollars.M: Oh, I can hardly read what that one says. Who wrote it?W: The name looks like Harold Dobson. Wasnt he a politician or something? Im going to buy this book and
39、 see if I can find a name like that in the library.M: Good luck! Your poetry book may make you rich, but Ill bet my 75-cent mystery is a better buy. (Listen again, please.)Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation. M: Hello, Im carrying out some market research of Beauty Fitness C

42、y professional and supportive. M: Do you have any suggestions for the improvement?W: Well, the only thing I would say is the evening class. Yoga, I mean, can get very busy.

Scientists in China re
67、cently discovered the remains of a very old village where salt was produced 4,000 years ago. At the site, called Zhongba which is located at the Gan River in the Chongqing Municipality, the scientists found small cups still containing traces of ancient salt. Based on this discovery, they believe tha
68、t 4,000 years ago people of the village used the cups to boil salty water. Once the water became steam, the salt was left behind.The Zhongba settlement is extremely important because it is the first place we know of where people had a method for collecting salt. Comparable evidence of ancient salt p
69、roduction in the world comes from sites that not nearly as old. The Zhongba settlement is also very different from other sites because of its unique source of salt. While in other places salt was dug from mines or obtained from sea water, the Zhongba salt was obtained from a salty river. Regardless
70、of the source, the Zhongba people must have valued salt greatly because salty foods were not as common then as today. Such foods would have been difficult to find, and they were probably a rare luxury. But even though salt was scarce, people knew about it, and it was appreciated in the past just as
71、much as it is today. What the discovery at Zhongba shows is that people have had a taste for salt four thousands of years!11. Where did the scientists find traces of salt? ( A )12.

Confuse
74、d, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for morebiscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We all tended to be forgetful, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that ev
75、ery sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing?” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered. Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house. I try not to think about it too much, b
