How to Keep Fit
Ten years ago I used to be very fit. I cycled to work and I did a lot of exercise at the weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those(51), I didn't earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed(52).
Then, about eight years ago, I got a(53)better job. The pay was better. But the hours were a lot longer, too. I bought a car and(54)to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and(55)for long walks at the weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more. There's a lot of stress in a job like(56). Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to. I started smoking a lot, too. I(57)used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart(58). At first I just couldn't believe it. "I'm too young," I said.(59)it wasn't very serious. I was in hospital a few days and they did a lot of tests.

But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage(抵押货款), or get credit cards. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs." he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. "Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said, "but I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school." David added, "I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear."
In what way is David different from people of his age?
A.He often goes out with friends.
B.He lives with his mother.
C.He has a handsome income.
D.He graduated with six O-levels.

听力原文:F: Tom, have you seen The Fifth Element?
M: Yes. I think the pictures are beautiful. And I know some reviewer observed that this movie might actually be a milestone in movie making. It took US $17 million on its first weekend, a more than respectable total.
F: Oh? They really said so ? But I think it's storyless movie, although it's a big budget one. Don't you think it resembles video games? The crafted aliens, a deafening sound track, and striking minor characters-- it has no coherent story to hang it all on.
M: I quite agree with you. Story is the soul of a meaningful film, the key to involving the audience emotionally.
F: I used to like Steven Spielberg. His work had always been a balance of story and technical things. But in his most recent movie, The Lost World, the sequel to Jurassic Park, the story is almost an afterthought to the spectacle. The dinosaurs are rediscovered and again eat a lot of people, while character development hardly gets a look in. The film simply relies on action to keep the drama going.
M: But thanks to a US $40 million marketing campaign, The Lost world broke all box office records for its first four days and Steven Spielberg was tipped to earn from the movie far more than the US $300 million he collected from Jurassic Park. The author of the original novel, Michael Crichton, was predicted to earn US $20 million on his share of the profits.
F: So the success of such films is measured simply on their profit margin. Fillmmaking is not considered as a form. of art now.
What was the box office of The Fifth Element on its first weekend?
A.US $17 million.
B.US $18 million.
C.US $19 million.
D.US $ 20 million.
Talks and Conversations
Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear several short talks and conversations. After each of these, you will hear a few questions. Listen carefully because you will hear the talk or conversation and questions ONLY ONCE, when you hear a question, read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.
听力原文:M: Thanks a lot, Jean. Thank you for your timely advice during that company trip last week. Otherwise I would end up buying that worthless piece of so-called souvenir and regretting my purchasing all day long.
W: My pleasure, Tom. Anyway, I hate wasting money on worthless things.
M: That's an extremely attractive point in your character. My wife used to waste a lot of money. Stick to that, and you will get married in no time.
W: Oh, I have had plenty of offers. But you know, it's a terrible thing to be a poor man's wife, when you have been accustomed to a clean, decent job. I have seen so many bright jolly girls turn into dirty old drudges through getting married.
M: Don't be afraid of dirt. Mine is a clean job. But I often wish I weren't so set on clean collars, that they make their sons clerks when they would be stronger, and earn more money as navies, those road construction workers, you know. Nowadays, they earn more than we office clerks do. I wish I were a navy instead of writing guide books.
W: Well, what's there to prevent you?
M: I am not trained to manual work. Half an hour of it would make me wish myself dead. And five minutes of my work would produce a strike among the navies. I am only a writing machine, just as a navy is a digging machine.
W: I don't think the world is fair and rightly arranged, do you?
M: We must take the world as we find. It's we that are not rightly arranged.
(31)
A.They bought some worthless souvenir.
B.They did some manual work.
C.They went on a company trip.
D.They wrote a guidebook.
听力原文:M: Good afternoon, is there anything I can help you with?
W: Yes. I've just checked my bank account and found that my spending in this semester has far exceeded what I planned.
M: How far exactly?
W: The rest of my money isn't enough for the trip home.
M: The cost of living in Britain is a little higher than in other countries and many foreign students meet this problem every year. Some schools set up a special office to help those in financial trouble.
W: What shall I do now?
M: First, you have to control your spending. Do not buy things you have no immediate use for. Also, reduce your spending on entertainment and rent a cheaper room if your current room is a little expensive.
W: Well, What I spend is usually necessary and cannot be reduced much. My room is a little ex- pensive, but it's close to the school and can save a great deal on transportation.
M: De you travel a lot? Traveling usually costs a lot of money.
W: Yes, I do. I went to many places because I wanted to see different people and-experience various cultures.
M: Control your spending on traveling. As well as by reducing your overall spending, you can earn some money by taking a part-time job.
W: Is there any limitation on taking a part-time job?
M: Yes. The total time spent on a part-time job should not exceed 20 hours a week. Otherwise your study would be affected.
