听力原文： Weekend again. Mrs. Bell after her busy work finally gets the time to shop. She has a hard time in the busy traffic. But she is lucky enough to be able to park her car out side the supermarket. Mrs. Bell goes in and finds her trolley(手推车). First she goes to the Grocery Department and gets some apples and oranges. Then, coming to the Poultry Department, she gets some steaks. She also picks a bottle of wine, for the weekend dinner party of course. There, she meets Mm. Young, with her three-year-old daughter. She is sitting in the trolley, as she is too heavy. While Mrs. Bell is talking with Mrs. Young, the three- year-old girl Lily, who is not interested in their talk, finds a bottle of whisky(威士忌酒) and begins to play with it. Then she puts it in Mrs. Bell's handbag. Mrs. Bell puts the bottle of wine she selects into her trolley and joins the line of customers before the cashier to have her shopping checked out. A detective(侦探) happens to be standing nearby and notices Mrs. Bell's handbag. While Mrs. Bell is going towards the exit(出口), the detective stops her and asks about the bottle of whisky. Mrs. Bell is shocked. She can not explain how the bottle of whisky has got into her handbag, and she has to follow the detective into the manager's office.
What has she bought today？
A．Vegetables, meat and drinks.
B．Fruit, poultry and drinks.
C．Fruit, vegetables and drinks.
W: Yes, sure.
M: Could you tell me when you became interested in gardening？
W: Well, I was always interested in wild flowers and then in 1980 I read Margery Fish's book Cottage Garden Flowers, which is full of practical advice and personal opinions. But I was reading about plants that I didn't know, so I started to read as much as I could and get different writers' advice. I also used to visit Kew Gardens a lot. That was when we lived in Harrow, West London. I learned a lot from my visit. By the way, Dorset is one of England's three most beautiful towns, the other two being Wiltshire and Somerset. You must know what. I'm often invited to give talks to biology students in college.
M: Yes, certainly. That's why I came here. Now what was your first garden like？
W: It was a very tiny piece of land, which came with my house in Harrow, West London.
M: Do you grow many plants yourself？
W: I don't grow many plants from seeds. But I have several friends and we often give each other plants. My garden is a place which often reminds me of so many people through the plants they've given me.
What was the purpose of Mrs. Whinfield's visits to Kew Gardens？
A．To learn more about plants.
B．To write an article on gardens.
C．To meet the writers whose books she read.

M: The first question is what is your full name？
W: Louisa O'Leary.
M: And your age, Mrs. O'Leary？
W: Well ... it's thirty-four.
M: Really？ You don't look it at all. Now how much does your husband earn？
W: That's a personal question, but I suppose I should try and be as frank as I can with you--￡ 10,000 a year.
M: That isn't much.
W: Yes.
M: Now what I'm really interested in is the way you spend your money. What about housiug, for example？
W: Well, our house costs us about ... er, ￡ 300 a month.
M: Oh, that must be difficult with ten thousand a year!
W: It certainly is. I was working before we had the baby, of course. That used to make things a lot easier. Now we're much less well off.
M: Mm. Apart from the house, where does your money go？
W: Food is the biggest item. That's about ￡ 240 a month for food and other small bits and pieces-cleaning materials and so on. For electricity, we only use it for lighting. That's about ￡ 50 a year.

听力原文： Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals, but they recently took considerable interest in Mrs. Smith's cat. Mrs. Smith, a very wealthy old lady, has shared a flat with her cat, Simon, for a great many years. Simon leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the evenings and is always home by seven o' clock. One evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs. Smith got very worried. She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.
Three days after the cat's disappearance, Mrs. Smith received a letter without a signature on it. The writer of the letter stated that the cat was in his hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs. Smith paid $100. Mrs. Smith was instructed to place the money in a cardboard box and to leave it outside her door. At first, she decided to go to the police, but fearing that she would never see his cat again—the letter had made that quite clear—she changed her mind. She drew $100 from her bank and followed the kidnapper's instructions. The next morning, the box had disappeared but Mrs. Smith was sure that the kidnapper would keep his word. Sure enough, the cat arrived punctually at seven o'clock that evening.
He looked very well, though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a bottle of milk. The police were surprised when Mrs. Smith told them what she had done. She explained that the cat was very dear to her. Considering the amount she paid, he was dear in more ways than one!

听力原文：Mrs. Daniels: Oh, hello, you must be Tracey's parents？
Mr. Thompson: Er, yes. Are you her class teacher, Mrs. Daniels？
Mrs. Daniels: Yes, that's right. Now, just let me find my notes. (1[D])As you know I don't actually teach Tracey, but I do see her every day before classes begin. Is there anything you want to ask me？
Mr. Thompson: Well, yes. To be honest, we're a bit worried about her last report—she doesn't seem to be doing as well as she was.
Mrs. Daniels: Well now, let's see. Oh, yes, her math teacher says she's finding the work more difficult now that they're getting near to the exams.
Mr. Thompson: I was never good at math.
Mrs. Daniels: And Dr. Baker feels that Tracey isn't concentrating very hard in biology lessons.
Mr. Thompson: Oh, but she really likes biology and she's so good at drawing.
Mrs. Daniels: Yes, but even in art her teacher thinks she tends to spend too much time talking to her friends. In fact, several of her teachers have told me that she isn't giving in her homework: (2[C])Mr. Brock has complained to me that he hasn't had a single piece of geography homework from her all term.
Mr. Thompson: Yes, we don't know what to do about it. She doesn't seem to be interested in school any more.
Mrs. Daniels: I don't think we should give up on her. Tracey's a very intelligent girl. In English her marks are well above the average and her teacher says she always has a lot to say in lessons.
Mr. Thompson: Yes, that's part of Tracey's trouble. She talks too much.
Mrs. Daniels: Well, nevertheless oral skills are very important and if we can all guide her back to a more positive attitude to school work, she'll do very well.
Mr. Thompson: Well, I hope so. I'm very disappointed in her. She was doing so well, especially in English and French, and now everything seems to be going to pieces. She came bottom of the class in French this term.
Mrs. Daniels: Well, it's not because she can't do French she just prefers to that in English! At least she's doing well in sport. She's in the hockey team and you know we haven't lost a single match this year!
Mr. Thompson: Well, it's nice to know she does something well.
Mrs. Daniels: Oh, come on, Mr. Thompson, (3[A])let's look on the bright side.
What does Mrs. Daniels teach？
A．She teaches Tracey English.
B．She teaches Tracey math.
C．She teaches Tracey art.
D．She doesn't teach Tracey.
听力原文：M: Hello, "Flying Paradise". How can I help you？
W: Oh hi. I'm interested in doing a course in your club.
M: Which course are you interested in？
W: Well, I'm not sure. What's available？
M: Well... we've got the introductory course which lasts for two days.
W: OK.
M: Or there's the 4-day beginners' course which is what most people do first. I'd tend to recommend that one. And there's also the elementary pilot course which takes five to six days depending on conditions.
W: We might try the beginner's course. What sort of prices are we looking at？
M: The introductory is ＄190; the beginner's course, which is what you'd probably be looking at, is＄320—no, sorry ＄330—it's just gone up—and the pilot course is ＄430.
W: Right.
M: And you also have to become a member of our club so that you're insured. That'll cost you ＄12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.
W: Does that cover me if I break a leg？
M: No, I'm afraid not—it's only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings, but not theft or injury. You would need to take your own personal accident insurance.
W: I see! And what's the best way to get to your place？ By public transport or could we come by bike？ We're pretty keen cyclists.
M: It's difficult by public transport although there is a bus from Newcastle: most people get there by car, because we're a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I'll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What's your name？
W: Maria Gentle.
M: And your address, Maria？
W: Well, I'm a student staying with a family in Newcastle.
M: So it's care of ...
W: Care of Mr. and Mrs. McDonald.
M: Like the hamburgers!
W: Yes, exactly.
M: McDonald...
W: The post office box address is probably best. It's PO box 676, Newcastle.
M: Is there a fax number there, because I could fax you the information？
W: Yes, actually, there is. It's 0249 that's for Newcastle and then double seven five four three one.
M: OK. Now if you decide to do one of our courses, you'll need to book in advance and to pay when you book. How would you be paying？
W: By credit card, if that's OK. Do you take Visa？
M: Yes, fine. We take all major cards, including Visa.
W: OK then. Thanks very much.

听力原文：(Jane Zhang has an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss her plans for studying in Canada.)
Mrs. Dustan: Hello there. You must be Jane. Please come in. My name is Mrs. Dustan.
Jane: Hello, Mrs. Dustan. Pleased to meet you.
Mrs. Dustan: All right now .... let's see. Now, you're interested in attending university in Canada, Is that right？
Jane: Yes. And, I have a lot of questions to ask you.
Mrs. Dustan: Okay, but before I begin to answer your questions, I need to ask you a few questions first. Hmm .... now, your major is...
Jane: Engineering, Mechanical Engineering.
Mrs. Dustan: Right. And, where did you graduate？
Jane: I graduated from the Beijing Institute of Machinery in July 1998. I completed my Bachelor's degree.
Mrs. Dustan: Okay. Now, I'm assuming you'll want to continue studying in that field. Am I right？
Jane: Actually, I'd prefer to do an MBA if possible. But if I have no other choice, then I'll continue in Mechanical Engineering.
Mrs. Dustan: Okay. Now, are you familiar with the requirements for an MBA degree？
Jane: Yes, I think I need to do well on the GMAT, and I'll definitely need the TOEFL or IELTS, right？
Mrs. Dustan: That's right. You'll need at least 600 on the TOEFL or 6.5 on IELTS. In addition, you need to have completed a bachelor's degree too. Did you take the GMAT yet？
Jane: No, but I plan to take it in August.
Mrs. Dustan: The requirements for a Master's Degree in Engineering are a little different. You'll need to take the GRE and of course the TOEFL or IELTS.
Jane: I see. And, when do I start to apply？
Mrs. Dustan: The best time to start the application process is in November or December of the year prior to your intended year of study. Application forms are usually available in September or October.
Jane: Which schools in Canada offer the MBA degree？
Mrs. Dustan: Of the approximately 50 universities in Canada, 20 offer an MBA. Here's a small Booklet summarizing Canadian university programs. You'll find all the information on page 22.
Jane: Great! Thanks. And, how about tuition and scholarships？
Mrs. Dustan: Tuition for MBA programs has been steadily increasing. Some universities now charge the full tuition—meaning that there is no government subsidy. Those universities cost about＄10,000 per year—and it's a 2 year program. Other universities are still government subsidized, so the tuition is only about ＄4500 per year. In terms of scholarships, usually the top 5 students entering the MBA program are given a generous scholarship. All other students have to pay the full fees. International students have to pay the full tuition—that's＄10,000 per year.
Jane: Oh. Is it very difficult to get into an MBA program？
Mrs. Dustan: Yes, in fact the competition is very strong. MBA graduates have a pretty easy time finding a good job. So, many students are eager to do the program thinking it will guarantee them success in their careers.
Jane: Well, it sure does sound like an excellent way to start a promising future. Um, what is the school year like？
Mrs. Dustan: Classes begin in September each year and finish before Christmas. They resume after New Year and finish at the end of April.
Jane: And after April？
Mrs. Dustan: Why, that's your summer holiday!
Jane: Sounds great! I want to thank you Mrs. Dustan for all your help. I really do appreciate it.
Mrs. Dustan: You're very welcome. And, if you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. You know my number, right？
Jane: I sure do. Thanks very much.
Mrs. Dustan: Goodbye.
