PART C

Directions: You will hear three dialogues or monologues. Before listening to each one, you will have 5 seconds to read each of the questions which accompany it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D. After listening, you will have 10 seconds to check your answer to each question. You will hear each piece ONLY ONCE.

听力原文： For centuries, people have been amazed by children of unusual talent. Pianist and composer Felix Mendelssohn has composed a fair amount of music by the time he was eleven. His forth opera was produced in Berlin, when he was only eighteen. John Stewart Mill, the nineteenth century British philosopher, read Greek at three and had worked his way through elementary geometry and a large body of literature and history by the time he was twelve. Even though there has been a fascination with prodigies for centuries, there has been little serious study of them until recently. Some surprising common characteristics have been identified. The vast majority are boys. They are usually first born children of middle-class families. Often their parents are past the usual childbearing age. Many are born by operation rather than by natural child birth.

They often have parents who seem to be trying to realize their own ambitions through their amazing children. And prodigies usually have a strange sense of humor. Although a child may be born with outstanding genetic potential, this potential will not necessarily develop. "Just having the gene is not enough." says Harvard University psychologist Howard Gardener. "Something in the environment must nourish the potential." And although many prodigies enjoy the satisfaction of the extraordinary achievement, public praise, and material wealth, even the most successful sometimes question the value of their lives and the accomplishment. "I have a longing which grows stronger as I get older." confesses the famous American concert pianist Eugene Eastman, "to be ordinary."

What was John Stuart Mill？

A．A historian.

B．A composer.

C．A philosopher.

D．A mathematician.

Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance (放心).

They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon.

(80) It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.

第11题：The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell______.

A. readers how to be popular with people around

B. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselves

C. parents how to control and guide their children

D. people how to understand and respect each other

Part B

Directions: You will hear four dialogues or monologues. Before listening to each one, you will have 5 seconds to read each of the questions which accompany it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D. After listening, you will have 10 seconds to check your answer to each question. You will hear each piece ONLY ONCE.

听力原文：Speaker: It is amusing to watch some of my friends who can come to a decision tight away, and then some others who can't. Some people can look at a menu, can pick up a menu and tight away know what they're going to have for dinner that night. The others will ponder and look at the thing and not be able to reach any kind of decision for a long, long time without some help. I was thinking about this when I was talking to my sister the other day, and I thought about how her children come to decisions very quickly and I was thinking about this and one of the reasons might be that she has given them a great deal of responsibility at a very young age. She has allowed them to make decisions on their own. She takes them shopping many times, and she allows them to choose clothes of their own liking, and I think in a way this teaches a great deal of responsibility. Of course, they consult her sometimes, but many times they are able to decide on something on their own, and I was thinking about my friends and how some of them were not able to make a decision on their own and maybe their parents didn't allow them to decide their own clothes.

Why does the speaker think her sister's children come to decisions quickly？

A．They have taken some drugs.

B．They are more intelligent than adults.

C．They are giving much responsibility.

D．Their decisions are usually worse.

so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another's hands for courage.

They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up just by listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this way is that the crowd is doing it.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market.

听力原文： The first day of April ranks among the most joyous days in the juvenile calendar.

"It is a day when you hoax friends of yours with jokes like Sending them to the shop for some pigeon's milk, or telling them to dig a hole because a dog has died; when they came back and ask where is the dead dog you say 'April fool' and laugh at them. There are some when you just say 'Your shoe lace is undone' or 'Your belt is hanging' or 'Go and fetch that plate off the table, and of course their shoe lace is tied up right, and their belt is not hanging, and there is no plate on the table, so you say 'Ever been bad, April fool'."

And parents, of course, are not exempt. "We have a lively time," says an 11-year-old Swansea girl, "as there are so many jokes to play such as sewing up the bottom of Daddy's trousers." And a 9-year-old Birmingham boy writes:

"Last year I fooled father by gluing a penny to the floor and saying 'Dad, you've dropped a penny on the floor.' He couldn't get it off the ground because it was stuck firm, then I shouted 'Yah, April fool'. "

(27)

A．sending them to the shop for some milk.

B．telling them a dog has died.

C．your shoe lace is undone

听力原文：Interviewer: What was your holiday location and how did you hear about it？

Interviewee: My holiday location was Waiwera, in New Zealand. It is a thermal spa resort. I was there last year with my parents, my sister and a couple of friends of my parents. My father and my little sister, who inherited the medical problems from my father, need to go to a thermal spa every year for treatment. They used to go to the Polynesian Spa in Rotorua, another famous resort in New Zealand, but last year they decided that they fancied a change. I had never gone with them to a spa because I preferred to spend my holiday at home or go to other places, but last year when they changed the location I decided to go with them. I also decided to go because my sister really wanted me to go with her. My parents found out about this location from some of the people they met in Rotorua. These people said that they were more satisfied with the accommodation and facilities at the Waiwera spa, so my parents were curious and when they returned home they asked me to search on the Internet for some information. They were impressed with the information I found and it was then that they decided to plan a trip there.

Interviewer: So you went with your family and your parents' friends.

Interviewee: Yes. I travelled with my parents, my little sister and some family friends with their three children, so that altogether we were nine people. I was lucky because in the other family there was a boy one year older than me so I had someone to pass the time with and have some fun. There were a lot of elderly people and kids at the spa town, so I was happy that he was with me. We had similar interests. It's good to be with someone with your own age when you are on holiday.

Interviewer: How much time did you spend finding out information about this spa？

Interviewee: I didn't spend so much time searching for the information be- cause the spa has website that was easy: to find. We wanted some more information that wasn't on the website, particularly about how to get there, but we went to a travel agency and they gave us the information that we didn't have and made there the reservations for all of us.

Interviewer: Can you tell us the thing you like most at the spa？

Interviewee: There were so many things that I liked there. I especially liked the accommodation. We stayed at the Waiwera Holiday Inn which is situated right on the beach. It offers spectacular sea views. I think that I will never forget it.

Interviewer: Were there any things that you were not satisfied with？

Interviewee: I think that the bad side of this vacation was that there were so many old people and many many children. Luckily, there were some play areas for children and they stayed there most of the time.

Interviewer: How was your room？ Did you have everything you needed？

Interviewee: Yes we had everything we needed. Everything was comfortable and the conditions were great so I have nothing to complain about.

Interviewer: Did you make any new friends？ Are you still in touch？

Interviewee: Everyone was very gentle and warm. They really made a good impression. When we needed some help they were very helpful and I felt great. I'm still in touch with the son of my parents' friends.

Interviewer: How did you spend your time？ Did you participate in any recreational activities？

Interviewee: I don't have any medical problems like my father and sister, but I still went to the thermal spa. There were a lot of recreational activities to enjoy if we wanted. For example, I played golf because there was a mini golf course. Basketball and volleyball were also available, but we couldn't get enough people together for two proper teams. I also went to swim and I also went scuba diving on the reef not far from the hotel. There was a small group of us with an instructor. It was truly amazing. I cannot describe in words how I felt down there. It was like I was in paradise.

I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one another' s hands for reassurance.

They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) --into a larger cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today' s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don' t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come--with the people who respect you for who you are. That' s the only kind of popularity that really accounts.

What is the meaning of the sentence "And many of today' s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children" in Lines 3-4 of Paragraph 3 ？

A．Many parents want to be popular with their children.

B．Many parents want their children to be top students.

C．Many parents will give some good prizes to their children when they have got high scores.

D．Many parents are paying much attention to whether their children are popular among peers.
