[00:12.50]MODEL TEST10

[00:14.83]Section A

[00:17.28]Directions: In this section,

[00:20.48]you will hear 8 short conversations

[00:23.11]and 2 long conversations.

[00:25.63]At the end of each conversation,

[00:28.06]one or more questions will be

[00:30.18]asked about what was said.

[00:32.37]Both the conversation

[00:34.08]and the questions will be spoken only once.

[00:37.56]After each question

[00:39.25]there will be a pause.

[00:41.22]During the pause,

[00:42.58]you must read the four choices

[00:44.93]marked A), B), C) and D),

[00:48.74]and decide which

[00:50.02]is the best answer.

[00:51.72]Then mark the corresponding letter

[00:54.62]on Answer Sheet 2

[00:56.58]with a single line

[00:57.99]through the centre.

[00:59.68]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations

[01:05.29]11. W: The weatherman says the storm is getting worse.

[01:10.23]M: If he's as good as he usually is at making forecasts,

[01:14.88]we will probably have blue skies tomorrow.

[01:17.79]Q: What does the man mean?

[01:34.66]12.W: John told me he got a second-hand car,

[01:38.23]do you know how much he paid for it?

[01:40.16]M: Well, he said he paid 8000 dollars for it.

[01:44.66]I think he got a real bargain.

[01:46.68]Q:What did the man think of the price of the car?

[02:04.84]13. M: I hope that you can understand my reason for deciding to leave, Mrs. Smith.

[02:11.66]W: Do I have to remind you that we have invested a lot of time and money in your career here?

[02:17.03]Q: How does Mrs. Smith reply?

[02:34.16]14. W: It looks like I'm going to be a little late for class.

[02:39.76]I hope Prof. Clark doesn't start on time today.

[02:42.98]M: Are you kidding? You can set your watch by the start of his class.

[02:47.23]Q: What can be inferred about Prof. Clark?

[03:05.84]15. W: By the way, did you hear that Jack failed his mid exam?

[03:12.01]It's too bad because it will disqualify him for next year's scholarship.

[03:16.13]M: He deserved it. He's never really studied since last semester.

[03:21.62]Q: How does the man feel about Jack's failing the exam?

[03:40.08]16.W: Registration ought to be easier this year.

[03:45.46]M: Unless the computer breaks down.

[03:47.57]Q: What does the woman think of this year's registration?

[04:06.44]17. M: I forgot all about the two o'clock meeting!

[04:12.19]Tom's going to kill me.

[04:14.08]W: Oh, I can see why you are upset.

[04:16.85]It can really be annoying when something important slips your mind.

[04:21.28]Q: What's the woman's attitude toward the man's forgetfulness?

[04:39.63]18. W: Say, Dave, can you fill in for me tonight at the restaurant?

[04:45.84]I'd like to go out of town.

[04:47.46]M: Sure, Laura, if it's OK with your boss. When is your shift?

[04:52.46]Q: What does Dave agree to do?

[05:09.80]Now you'll hear the two long conversations.

[05:14.16]Conversation One

[05:17.27]M: Where are you going,Catherine?

[05:19.04]Today is Saturday.

[05:20.57]W: Saturday isn't a holiday for me anymore.

[05:23.76]I have to tutor for three hours every Saturday afternoon.

[05:27.64]M: That's great.

[05:29.42]I wish I could find a part-time job to make a little pocket money.

[05:33.27]How did you find this job?

[05:35.06]W: I saw a “Tutor Wanted” notice stuck on a light pole near the bus stop.

[05:39.96]I phoned the number and I got the job.

[05:42.93]It's not too hard to find a part-time job these days.

[05:46.42]But Richard, studying should always come first.

[05:50.85]Do you think that you have enough time to handle a part-time job?

[05:54.42]M: It's hard to say.

[05:55.86]If I can get a job,

[05:57.29]I will try very hard to make good use of my time.

[06:00.33]W: We do spend too much time hanging around and doing nothing.

[06:04.49]Richard, your English is perfect.

[06:07.05]Why don't you find a job teaching English?

[06:10.21]M: But I don't have any teaching experience.

[06:12.41]Speaking and teaching are two different things.

[06:15.18]W: I don't have any experience either.

[06:18.24]We're just students.

[06:19.65]People know this.

[06:21.29]But we are young and energetic,

[06:23.40]and the most important thing

[06:24.99]is that we don't ask for as much pay

[06:27.22]as professional teachers do.

[06:29.34]M: OK! Where should I start?

[06:31.60]W: You can post some notices on the community bulletin board

[06:34.98]and some other places.

[06:36.43]But remember: don't post them on the wire poles

[06:40.50]because you'll probably be fined for it.

[06:42.97]M: Thank you for your advice,Catherine.

[06:45.01]W: My pleasure.Good luck.

[06:46.72]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

[06:53.02]19. What does the woman do on Saturday afternoons?

[07:13.68]20. How did the woman find the part-time job?

[07:32.94]21. What does the woman suggest the man do when starting to find a job?

[07:55.43]Conversation Two

[07:58.50]W: Good evening and welcome to our program.

[08:01.38]Today we'll talk about several interesting cultural artifacts

[08:06.05]that are a part of daily lives of the Japanese,

[08:09.12]and perhaps other Asian countries as well.

[08:12.38]We're very happy to have Ben Smith here.

[08:15.07]M: Thank you.

[08:16.27]W: Well, artifacts made of bamboo are very important in Japanese culture.

[08:21.43]M: Yes.

[08:22.60]For hundreds and even thousands of years,

[08:25.20]the bamboo plant has played an important role

[08:28.33]in the lives of the Japanese,

[08:30.30]and at one time,

[08:31.77]it was believed that the Shinto gods could be found

[08:35.19]in the stem of the bamboo plant,

[08:37.18]and this is something that is portrayed

[08:39.31]in one of Japan's oldest tales,

[08:41.95]The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.

[08:43.94]W: That sounds interesting.

[08:45.33]Bamboo is a very versatile plant.

[08:47.88]It's light and flexible,

[08:49.80]but strong,

[08:50.93]and there are many varieties of it.

[08:53.00]They can be used to make various artifacts.

[08:55.90]M: Yeah, and some of them are really exquisite.

[08:59.41]W: Very happily,

[09:01.11]Mr.Smith has brought here several bamboo artifacts.

[09:04.61]So can you introduce them to us,Mr.Smith?

[09:07.89]M: Sure.

[09:09.11]The first one is a chashaku.It is a tea spoon,

[09:13.20]and it is used for measuring powdered green tea

[09:16.16]during the tea ceremony.

[09:17.96]W: That's fine.

[09:19.21]What about this?

[09:20.45]M: Uh, it is a tea whisk.

[09:22.70]It is for mixing the powdered green tea in a small bowl

[09:26.68]until it becomes a foamy mixture.

[09:29.03]W: Wow, it is so nice and I love it.

[09:31.58]Thank you for showing us these fine artifacts,Mr.Smith.

[09:35.53]M: My pleasure

[09:36.83]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

[09:43.39]22. What are the two speakers talking about?

[10:03.93]23. According to the conversation,

[10:08.30]which is true about the Shinto gods?

[10:25.92]24. Why can bamboo be used to make different kinds of artifacts?

[10:47.86]25. What is the chashaku used for during the tea ceremony?

[11:08.30]Section B

[11:11.24]Directions: In this section,

[11:14.26]you will hear 3 short passages.

[11:17.50]At the end of each passage,

[11:19.72]you will hear some questions.

[11:22.09]Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.

[11:27.63]After you hear a question,

[11:29.52]you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),

[11:34.59]B), C) and D).

[11:37.54]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2

[11:42.55]with a single line through the centre.

[11:45.44]Passage One

[11:47.80]Our environment is being polluted faster than nature

[11:52.03]and man's present efforts can prevent it.

[11:54.85]Time is bringing us more people,

[11:57.43]and more people will bring us more industry,

[12:00.30]more motor vehicles,

[12:02.19]larger cities,

[12:03.18]and the growing use of man-made materials.

[12:06.89]What can explain and solve this problem?

[12:10.00]The fact is that pollution is caused by man

[12:13.25]—by his desire for a modern way of life.

[12:16.60]We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim.

[12:21.19]For its sake,

[12:22.61]we are willing to sacrifice everything:

[12:25.06]clean air, pure water,

[12:27.49]good food,

[12:28.41]our health and the future of our children.

[12:32.02]There is a constant flow of people from the country into the city,

[12:36.35]eager for the benefits of modern society.

[12:39.90]But as our technological achievements have grown

[12:43.35]in the last twenty years,

[12:45.49]pollution has become a serious problem.

[12:48.72]Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves

[12:51.87]where we are going and why?

[12:53.98]It reminds one of the story about the airline pilot

[12:58.18]who told his passengers over the loud speaker:

[13:01.42]“I have some good news and some bad news.

[13:04.44]The good news is that we are making rapid progress

[13:08.02]at 530 miles per hour.

[13:10.23]The bad news is that we are lost

[13:12.87]and don't know where we are going.”

[13:14.78]The sad fact is that this becomes a true story

[13:18.28]when applied to our modern society.

[13:21.64]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

[13:27.37]26. According to the passage,

[13:32.07]which of the following does the man value most?

[13:50.47]27. Why has pollution become a serious problem?

[14:10.71]28. What does the story about the pilot indicate?

[14:30.85]Passage Two

[14:32.94]Any one who spends at least one semester in college

[14:38.21]notices that some students give up on their classes.

[14:41.95]The person who sits behind you in accounting,for example,

[14:45.84]begins to miss a lot of class meetings

[14:48.55]and eventually vanishes.

[14:50.62]Or another student comes to class without the assignment,

[14:54.72]writes aimlessly in his notebook during the lecture,

[14:57.67]and leaves during the break.

[14:59.61]What's the difference between students like this

[15:02.36]and the ones who succeed in school?

[15:04.62]My survey may be non-scientific,

[15:07.91]but everyone I asked said the same thing: attitude.

[15:12.52]A positive attitude is the key to everything else.

[15:16.28]What does “a positive attitude” mean?

[15:19.30]It means not only showing up for your classes,

[15:22.55]but also doing something while you're there.

[15:25.29]Really listen.

[15:26.82]Take notes.

[15:28.13]Ask a question if you want to.

[15:30.47]Don't just walk into a class,

[15:32.91]put your mind in neutral,

[15:34.60]and drift away to never-nerver land.

[15:37.32]Having a positive attitude goes deeper than this,though.

[15:41.10]It means being mature about college as an institution.

[15:45.43]College classes can sometimes be downright dull and boring.

[15:50.05]If you let a boring class discourage you so much

[15:53.48]that you want to leave school,

[15:55.21]you'll lose in the long run.

[15:57.91]Look at your priorities.

[15:59.98]You want a degree,

[16:01.52]or a certificate,

[16:02.76]or a career.

[16:04.08]If you have to,

[16:05.38]you can make it through a less-than-interesting class

[16:08.37]in order to achieve what you want.

[16:10.71]Get whatever you can out of every class.

[16:13.97]But if you simply can't stand a certain class,

[16:17.34]be determined to fulfill its requirements

[16:20.21]and be done with it once and for all.

[16:23.27]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

[16:29.21]29. Why do some students give up on their classes?

[16:50.78]30. What does maturity involve according to the speaker?

[17:11.73]31. Which is the main idea of the passage?

[17:32.06]Passage Three

[17:34.26]In some ways the employment interview

[17:37.61]is like a persuasive speech

[17:39.73]because the applicant seeks to persuade the employer

[17:42.95]to employ him or her.

[17:45.08]Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant

[17:48.91]as preparation is made for the actual interview.

[17:52.29]A job applicant has the responsibility

[17:55.28]for finding out certain types of information

[17:57.90]before the interview.

[18:00.04]First,the applicant should know what kind of job he wants

[18:03.74]and how that job relates to his career objective.

[18:07.10]It is important that

[18:08.75]the applicant should be able to state

[18:11.07]the reasons for wishing to work for a particular company.

[18:15.16]Second,the applicant should seek

[18:17.79]as much information as possible concerning the company.

[18:21.21]Relevant information for the applicant to locate

[18:24.61]includes such items as the location of the home

[18:28.09]and regional offices,

[18:29.48]the financial status of the company,

[18:32.02]plans for expansion,

[18:33.86]and company philosophy.

[18:35.76]Information about most major corporations is available

[18:39.77]in reference books and periodicals.

[18:42.20]After gathering information concerning the company,

[18:45.74]the applicant is ready for the interview.

[18:48.31]The interviewer's first impression comes from the interviewee's appearance.

[18:53.04]For most interviews,

[18:54.64]appropriate dress for man is a conservative dark colored suit

[18:58.86]with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt and conservative tie.

[19:03.41]For women a conservative,

[19:05.66]tailored suit or dress is appropriate.

[19:07.99]Both men and women should have neat,

[19:10.41]conservative length of hair.

[19:12.21]Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste,

[19:16.15]many personnel directors form initial impressions

[19:19.60]from these characteristics.

[19:21.25]For example,one recent college graduate,

[19:24.67]who felt himself qualified,

[19:26.67]interviewed for a public relations job.

[19:29.52]However,the personnel manager considered this young man's long hair,

[19:34.26]casual dress

[19:35.54]and overly casual manner unsuited for this particular position.

[19:40.41]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

[19:45.95]32. What is an employment interview like?

[20:06.22]33. How can the applicants find the information about the company?

[20:28.43]34. Where does the interviewer's first impression come from?

[20:50.48]35. What should you do if you apply a public relations job?

[21:13.71]Section C

[21:15.73]Directions: In this section,

[21:19.12]you will hear a passage three times.

[21:22.20]When the passage is read for the first time,

[21:25.47]you should listen carefully for its general idea.

[21:29.04]When the passage is read for the second time,

[21:32.47]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43

[21:38.39]with the exact words you have just heard.

[21:42.34]For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill

[21:46.60]in the missing information.

[21:49.47]For these blanks,

[21:50.61]you can either use the exact words you have just heard or

[21:54.65]write down the main points in your own words.

[21:58.89]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,

[22:02.34]you should check what you have written.

[22:05.44]Now listen to the passage.

[22:08.89]Considering how jazz is transcribed in Chinese,

[22:13.52]you may be misled into assuming that it is a cultural form belonging to those

[22:19.58]who have some elegant tastes.

[22:21.69]Nothing could be further from the truth.

[22:24.27]It originated among black Americans at the end of the 19th century,

[22:29.30]at a time when they occupied the very bottom of the American social heap.

[22:34.12]So how has something that was created

[22:36.76]by a once despised minority acquire a central place

[22:40.96]in today’s American culture?

[22:42.84]It’s a mystery that many people would like to solve.

[22:46.65]Perhaps the essence of America is that

[22:49.21]you could never get two Americans to agree on just what that might be.

[22:53.84]After thinking about it for a while, we might utter,

[22:57.61]"Hmm, seems like being American is a bit more complicated than we thought.

[23:03.29]" Certainly things like individualism, success,

[23:07.15]innovation and tolerance stand out.

[23:10.27]But these things come together because of our ability to work

[23:13.92]with one another and find common purpose no matter

[23:17.51]how diverse we might be.

[23:19.54]Some, like African-American writer Ralph Ellison,

[23:23.03]believes that jazz captures the intrinsic properties of America.

[23:27.49]The solos are a celebration of individual brilliance

[23:31.43]that can’t take place without the group efforts of the rhythm section.

[23:35.74]They say jazz brought together elements from Africa and Europe,

[23:39.90]fusing them into a new culture,

[23:42.15]an expression unique to the Americas.

[23:45.20]Beyond that, though,

[23:47.10]jazz has a connection to the intrinsic properties

[23:50.51]of America in a much more fundamental way.

[23:53.56]It is an expression of the African roots of American culture,

[23:57.30]a musical medium exemplifying the domination of

[24:01.23]African culture in American culture.

[24:05.14]Now the passage will be read again.

[24:09.14]Considering how jazz is transcribed in Chinese,

[24:13.18]you may be misled into assuming

[24:15.67]that it is a cultural form belonging to those who have some elegant tastes.

[24:20.73]Nothing could be further from the truth.

[24:23.37]It originated among black Americans at the end of the 19th century,

[24:28.31]at a time when they occupied the very bottom of the American social heap.

[24:33.09]So how has something that was created

[24:35.87]by a once despised minority acquire a central place

[24:40.03]in today’s American culture?

[24:42.13]It’s a mystery that many people would like to solve.

[24:45.27]Perhaps the essence of America is that

[24:48.39]you could never get two Americans to agree on just what that might be.

[24:52.80]After thinking about it for a while,

[24:55.65]we might utter, "Hmm, seems like being

[24:59.69]American is a bit more complicated than we thought.

[25:03.11]" Certainly things like individualism, success,

[25:06.26]innovation and tolerance stand out.

[25:09.38]But these things come together

[25:11.31]because of our ability to work with one another

[25:13.93]and find common purpose no matter how diverse we might be.

[25:19.79]

[26:17.25]Some, like African-American writer Ralph Ellison,

[26:21.79]believes that jazz captures the intrinsic properties of America.

[26:26.54]The solos are a celebration of individual brilliance

[26:30.27]that can’t take place without the group efforts of the rhythm section.

[26:37.02]

[27:33.37]They say jazz brought together elements from Africa and Europe,

[27:38.79]fusing them into a new culture, an expression unique to the Americas.

[27:44.20]Beyond that, though,

[27:46.25]jazz has a connection to the intrinsic properties of

[27:49.25]America in a much more fundamental way.

[27:52.68]It is an expression of the African roots of American culture,

[27:56.32]a musical medium exemplifying the domination of

[28:00.12]African culture in American culture.

[28:04.93]

[28:59.96]Now the passage will be read for the third time.

[29:07.08]Considering how jazz is transcribed in Chinese,

[29:10.86]you may be misled into assuming that

[29:13.38]it is a cultural form belonging to those who have some elegant tastes.

[29:18.32]Nothing could be further from the truth.

[29:20.77]It originated among black Americans at the end of the 19th century,

[29:25.87]at a time when they occupied the very bottom of the American social heap.

[29:30.91]So how has something that was created by a once despised minority acquire

[29:36.44]a central place in today’s American culture?

[29:39.46]It’s a mystery that many people would like to solve.

[29:43.26]Perhaps the essence of America is that

[29:45.91]you could never get two Americans to agree on just what that might be.

[29:50.35]After thinking about it for a while, we might utter,

[29:53.33]"Hmm, seems like being American is a bit more complicated than we thought."

[30:00.32]Certainly things like individualism, success,

[30:03.76]innovation and tolerance stand out.

[30:06.94]But these things come together because of our ability to work

[30:10.61]with one another and find common purpose

[30:13.49]no matter how diverse we might be.

[30:16.45]Some, like African-American writer Ralph Ellison,

[30:19.89]believes that jazz captures the intrinsic properties of America.

[30:24.18]The solos are a celebration of individual brilliance

[30:28.19]that can’t take place without the group efforts of the rhythm section.

[30:32.43]They say jazz brought together elements from Africa and Europe,

[30:36.66]fusing them into a new culture, an expression unique to the Americas.

[30:41.98]Beyond that, though,

[30:43.86]jazz has a connection to the intrinsic properties of America

[30:48.02]in a much more fundamental way.

[30:50.25]It is an expression of the African roots of American culture,

[30:54.24]a musical medium exemplifying the domination

[30:57.82]of African culture in American culture.

[31:01.36]This is the end of listening comprehension.
