SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: When we think of communication, we normally think of using words—talking face-to-face, writing messages and so on. But in fact we communicate far more in other ways. Our eyes and facial expressions usually tell the truth even when our words do not.
Then there are gestures, often unconscious: raising the eyebrows, rubbing the nose, shrugging the shoulders, tapping the fingers, nodding and shaking the head. There is also the even more subtle "body language" of posture: are you sitting or standing with arras or legs crossed? Is that person standing with hands in pockets, held in front of the body or hidden behind? Even the way we dress and the colors we wear communicate things to others.
So, do animals communicate? Not in words, although a parrot might he trained to repeat words and phrases which it doesn't understand. But as we have learnt, there is more to communicate than words. Take dogs for example. They bare their teeth to warn, wag their tails to welcome and stand firm, with hair erect, to challenge. These signals are surely the canine equivalent of the human body language of facial expression, gesture and posture.
What are the ways animals communicate?
A.Words.
B.Gesture and posture.
C.Facial expressions.
D.Special signals.
听力原文:A(man): Hi, Mice. I hear that you are planning to have a dog in your house. Is that true?
B(woman): Yeah. But I am not so sure now. I'd love to have one because I think dogs are good companions.
A: Sure. I think most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their byes. If you are thinking of buying a dog, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide.
B: So. What's you advice?
A: Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decision depends on common sense. Most breeds were originally developed to perform. specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristics.
B: I have not decided yet, you know. I just thought dogs are lovely and they will do things you want them to do.
A: That's half true. You must be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life. Dogs are demanding pets. The best time to buy a baby-dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.
B: Thank you so much for bring such valuable advice, Tom. I think I am readier than before to have my own dog now.
Why does the woman want to have a dog?
A.Because she is lonely.
B.Because she loves to protect a pet.
C.Because she thinks dogs are good companions.
D.Because she just lost one dog.

M: So do I. Cellphones are the most popular means in today's communication. Forty or fifty years ago, however, letters were widely used around the world.
W: That's it. My grandfather sent 100 letters back when he studied in England from 1950 to 1952.
M: Things have changed so much! Have you seen that there is a kind of telephone which is called videophone, with which you can see the person you are talking to?
W: Yes, I have. That is wonderful.
M: This is the advantage of modern life. Don't you think so?

SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: Today I'd like to talk to you about dictionaries because most of you have them, but don't use them very of- ten. Whenever I ask people what a dictionary is for, they almost always say that it's to find the meaning of a word. Well, but that's really only a small part of the answer. Sure, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of a word, and it will also give you examples to show you how the word is used in a sentence, but it will also tell you how to pronounce a word you already know the meaning of. And this is very important, because if you can't say a word correctly, then no one will understand you. Of course, learning the pronunciation symbols your dictionary use will take a little time, but it's worth it, believe me.
Now think about when you're writing something, are you always sure of the spelling of every word? If not, what do you do? Do you just write it the way you think it's spelled and hope it's correct? Or, do you wait around for someone to tell you the spelling, or do you look for another word to use instead? What you should do is open your dictionary and check to see that your spelling is correct. If it isn't, think of another way the word might be spelled and check that out. Through' guessing and checking you're sure to find the right spelling.
Another thing to help you when you're writing, the dictionary will tell you where each syllable of a word begins and ends. This is important information, because when you write in English, when you come to the end of the line on a piece of paper you cannot separate words where you want to, but only between syllables. So you can use your dictionary to find out if you're separating the word in the right place.
Which of the following statements is true according to the speaker?
A.Most people have dictionaries but don't use them frequently.
B.Most people don't have dictionaries but need them very often.
C.Most people have dictionaries and use them very often.
D.Most people don't have dictionaries and seldom need them.
What______would happen if he knew you felt that way?
A.will you think
B.do you think
C.you think
D.you would think
A. hope
B. believe
C. think
D. sugesst
A.Either, depending on the reader’s inclination.
B.The tiger.
C.The lady.
D.Neither, as it is the king’s test on the yout
A.They may say “no” indirectly.
B.They may say “no” directly
C.They may say “no ”explicitly
D.They may say“ We’ll think this over again”

SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: It is a matter of common observation that although money incomes keep going up over the years, we never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed as inflation; the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We are grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought twenty years ago for $1 now costs well over $ 2. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. ff in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value, it lacks one of the qualities of a good money-stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value, and it is wasting assets so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates the consumer spending, and deters saving.
What is inflation according to the passage?
A.People's incomes keep going up.
B.Prices are not rising.
C.Money becomes less valuable.
D.Money becomes more stable.
