Part A
W：Good evening.Which evening course would you like to enroll for?
M：I’ve been thinking about taking this course in Modem Guitar.are there any vacancies?
W：Well，there are…nine，ten，eleven enrollments so far on the list.So that means we’ve got fourplaces left.The class seems to be filling up much more quickly this year.You’ll find the details in thisbrochure.
M：Will it be starting next week?
W：We hope so.It’s due to begin on Tuesday，7 P.m to 9 P.rn.Shall I put you down?We’ll havestopped taking any more names by this evening，so if you…
M：Can you tell me where the course is held?
W：Oh，it’s in the Main Building，second floor，room 219，immediately opposite the library.You can’tmiss it.There are posters of pop groups all over the walls.
M：I see.And if I do enroll。what will I need for the first lesson?
W：Well，you’11 need a guitar of course.That’s absolutely essential.You’11 also have to have a studenttutoring book.There are copies on sale in the book rooln.We get them quite a bit cheaper from an educational supplier so you can buy one at a bargain price!
M：How much is this all going to cost?
w：Er…the course fee is￡12.60 a term, That’s twelve weeks.The student book costs￡1.50 and ifyou don’t actually own a guitar presumably you’II have to buy or borrow one.You can get a second-hand one for around￡20to￡50 for a fairly reliable instrument，depending on the sound quality and general eondi tion.
Part B
W：Dr Lee，today，millions of us are now addicted to chat rooms，e-mail and just plain web surfing.
M：Yes，it’s no secret that we’re into computers.And why not? On the Intemet，we can catch up on news，plan vacations，pay bills and make friends.But for some，once they type their way onto the Intemet， they just can’t stop.
W：Do you think wh0’s getting hooked?
M：Internet addiction can happen to anyone who’s lonely.It includes two surprising groups：college students and homemakers.
W：How does that happen?
M：Away from their families，homesick and overwhelmed，many college students seek connections on the computer.And homemakers are prone to addiction too，if they’re shy.Face-to-face talking can createanxiety.The chat room eliminates all that.
W：But the more on-line connections vulnerable people make.the more they may neglect the connections they hold dear in real life.
M：Yes.Apart from that，Intemet also does harm to them.In a recent study，51 percent of men and 42Dercent of、Women named the Internet as one of the reasons they’re not getting enough sleep! And 68Dercent of Internet addicts surveyed said their on-line usage was destroying their relationships.TheDerson will retire to the computer at night instead of the bedroom，and form cyberspace relationship with strangers instead of communicating with a spouse.
W：It does make us worry.Do you have any suggestion for us?
M：Well，there are steps to take to make sure your family doesn’t get hooked，for example，you can put the computer in a common area like a living room where you can’t spend hour after uninterrupted hour online.You can use a timer to limit on-line time.But I think the best way is to join a club.Anyone with balance and face-to-face contact with others isn’t likely to get hooked.
Part C
Questions 11—13 are based on a piece of news about college admission in the USA.You now have 15 seconds to read Questions 11—13.
Some of America’s best universities have accepted an unusually low percentage of students for admission this fall.
For example，the Wall Street Journal reported that Stanford University had a record low admission rate this year.The newspaper said the California school accepted less than eleven percent of the students who applied.
College admissions officers give a number of reasons for the higher rates of rejection letters this year. They say the main reason is that high school seniors are applying to more schools than in the past.Some colleges reported big increases in the number of applications.Another reason is the general increase in students going to college.
Electronic forms make applying easier.For example，students can send an online form called the Common Application to many different colleges and universities.
Many students who apply to top schools are placed on a waiting list.They do not get a decision until the school knows how many applicants who are offered admission will accept the offer.Just as students compete，so do schools.
Wait-listed applicants might not find out until May or June，at the end of their senior year. Admissions officers say they use wait-listing because it is difficult to know which applicants really want to attend their school.
Questions 14～17 are based on the following monologue introducing the origin of an expression.You now have 20 seconds to read Questions 14～17.
Every people uses its own special words to describe things and express ideas：Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years.Others are popular for just a short time.
0ne such American expression is “Where’s the beef? ”It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be.In the early l980s，“Where’s the beef?”was one of the most popular expressions in the United States.It seemed as if everyone was using it all the time.Beef，of course，is the meat from a cow and probably no food is more popular in America than the hamburger made from beef.In the l960s a busi nessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price.Kroc called his restaurant “McDonald’ s”.Kroc cooked hamburgers quickly so people in a hurry could buy and eat them without waiting.By the end of the l960s the McDonald’s Company was selling hamburgers in hundreds of restaurants from California to Maine.Not surprisingly，Ray Kroc became one of the richest
businessmen in America.Other business people watched his success.Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants.One company，called “Wendy’s”，began to compete with McDonald’s.Wendy’s said its hamburgers were bigger than McDonald’s or anyone else’s.The Wendy’s Company created the expression “Where’s the beef?”to make people believe that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest.It produced a television advertisement to sell this idea.The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers.The bread that covered the meat was very big，but inside there was only a tiny bit of meat.One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef.“Where’s the beef?”she shouted in a funny voice.These advertisements for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants were a success from the first day they appeared on television.As we said，it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef?”
Questions l8～20 are based on an interview about u murder.You now have l5 seconds to read
Questions l8～20.
W：Police in North London are treating as murder the death of a man thought to be in his forties whose body was found in a pedestrian subway in Neasden.The man leading the hunt is Detective Chief Superintendent John Day，who explains what they know of the man’s movements in the early hours of this morning.
M：What we’ve learned is the fact that he left the Level One Club，which is a drinking club in Neasden Lane，about 1：30 a.rrL，and we’re trying to account for movements up till 2：15 a.irk，because it was about that time he was found by a member of the club，an employee.He was found in the underpass.
the pedestrian way，under the North Circular Road.Death was due to multiple head injuries.We un-derstand that there may have been two girls and a man who was drunk in close proximity to the en— trance to the subway，who may have seen the man walking in that direction，or any attacker who may have been following him.
W：About what time would you think that they were there?
M：Just after half past one to a quarter past two.
W：Then in that case the gap you have is really quite short.It’s only n-lore or less half a hour or forty minutes.
M：In fact，yes，as short as that.
W：And how far away from the Neasden underpass was the drinking club?
M：Fifty meters.
W：And at the moment you know of no other people in the area whom you want to talk to，other than the drunken man and the two women who were seen with him or near him at some time?
M：Yes.The club closed at half past one and there may have been other people who left the club who went that way.We understand that there were also minicab drivers parked in the area who may have seen something as well.
W：As it is，I take it you haven’t been able to identify them.
M：N0，not at this stage.
W：Well，thank you very much.
Section I Listening Comprehension
Part A
1.4/four。細(xì)節(jié)題。在第二個(gè)話輪中，女士用點(diǎn)數(shù)的方式查看名單上的登記人數(shù)，然后在第二句得出結(jié)論說：So that means we’ve got four places left，即還剩四個(gè)名額，其中的places left即是男士話語和題目中的 vacancies(空位，空缺)。
2.Tuesday。本題也是細(xì)節(jié)題。在第三個(gè)話輪中，女士的第二句話明確說明了課程開始的日期：It’S due to begin on Tuesday，7 P.m to 9 P.m，考生要注意拼寫。
3.1ibrary。在第三個(gè)話輪中，男士詢問上課地點(diǎn)(Can you tell me where the course is held?)，女士在第四個(gè)話輪的第一句話中進(jìn)行了回答：it’S in the Main Building…immediately opposite the library，即上課地點(diǎn)是正對著圖書館的主樓。之后女士還進(jìn)行了補(bǔ)充說明。考生主要是聽清這個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)。
4.tutoring。在第四個(gè)話輪中，男士又詢問第一堂課都需要帶些什么，第五個(gè)話輪中女士對此進(jìn)行了回答：首先當(dāng)然是吉他，然后需要帶一本a student tutoring book(學(xué)生輔導(dǎo)用書)�？忌饕锹犌暹@個(gè)信息，并且注意拼寫。這里用的是動詞的-ing形式。
5.second-hand。在最后一個(gè)話輪中，女士說明了學(xué)費(fèi)、書本費(fèi)和吉他的費(fèi)用。在最后一句中，女士指出男士可以買把二手吉他：You can get a second-hand one for around￡20…，考生同樣要注意拼寫。
Part B
6.Lonely persons/people。在對話的第二個(gè)話輪中，女士問：Do you think who’S getting hooked?男士則直接回答說：…to anyone who’S lonely(網(wǎng)絡(luò)成癮有可能發(fā)生在每一個(gè)孤獨(dú)的人身上)，其意當(dāng)然是孤獨(dú)的人最易成癮�？忌⒁獠灰汛鸢刚J(rèn)為是男士隨后指出的college students and homemakers，因?yàn)檫@兩類人只是具體的例子，不能概括本題。
7.42%。在第四個(gè)話輪中，男士給出了一些具體的數(shù)字，用以說明網(wǎng)絡(luò)成癮的危害。考生須分清這些數(shù)字與其所代表信息之間的對應(yīng)關(guān)系，聽音時(shí)可如下記錄：51%→men，42%→women，68%→Internet addicts，這樣在答題時(shí)就一目了然，不會混淆。
8.destroying their relationships。在第四個(gè)話輪中，男士指出：And 68 percent…was destroying their relationships。題目與聽力原文基本一致，只是將句子主語做了一點(diǎn)變動。考生在這一題中應(yīng)注意的是拼寫，其中destroy是動詞，用在be動詞后應(yīng)用其一ing形式，而且relationship要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
9.The/A living room。在聽音時(shí)我們發(fā)現(xiàn)男士在最后一段回答中指出.....you can put the computer…like a living room(可以把電腦放在一個(gè)公共區(qū)域，如起居室里)。
10.joining a club。男士在倒數(shù)第二句中提出：But I think the best way is to join a club(但我認(rèn)為最好的辦法就是加入俱樂部)。考生在這一題中尤其要注意拼寫，材料原文用的是不定式to join a club，如果考生照搬，字?jǐn)?shù)就會不合要求，所以改成現(xiàn)在分詞形式。
Part C
11.[D]。由獨(dú)白第二段所舉的Stanford大學(xué)的例子可知其余三項(xiàng)都是正確的，只有[D]與該段第一句中的a record low admission rate一處不符。
12.[D]。獨(dú)白第四段指出，電子表格讓申請變得容易一些，學(xué)生可以通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)發(fā)送一種稱作“通用申請”的在線表格給許多不同的學(xué)院和大學(xué)。由此可知前面三項(xiàng)都是錯(cuò)誤的，選[D]。
13.[B]。由獨(dú)白第五段中They do not get a decision…accept the offer一句可知處于等待名單上的學(xué)生等待的就是學(xué)校的決定，因此選[B]。本題由常識也可選出答案。
14.[B]。本題屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。獨(dú)白在提及Where’S the beef這一表達(dá)后立即指出：It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be，即這一表達(dá)用于指那些名不副實(shí)的東西，因此本題答案是[B]。15.[C]。本題屬于推斷題。獨(dú)自在介紹麥當(dāng)勞時(shí)指出：…Ray Kroc began…that sold hamburgers at a low price…cooked hamburgers quickly SO people in a hurry could buy and eat them without waitin9，說明其漢堡的特點(diǎn)就是便宜和快捷，然后指出麥當(dāng)勞大獲成功。由此即可推知，正是這兩個(gè)特點(diǎn)確保了其成功，故本題應(yīng)選結(jié)合了這兩個(gè)方面的[C]項(xiàng)。其余各項(xiàng)根據(jù)常識即可排除。
16.[A]。本題屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。獨(dú)白在提到麥當(dāng)勞時(shí)指出：Kroc called his restaurant “McDonald’ S”，故麥當(dāng)勞的創(chuàng)始人無疑就是Ray Kroe。
17.[D]。本題屬于推斷題。獨(dú)白在說明麥當(dāng)勞大獲成功、Kroc成為美國最富有的商人之一后指出： Other business people watched his success(其他商人都看到了他的這種成功)，緊接著說這些人也開始開漢堡店。據(jù)此可推知，這些人開漢堡店的目的或原因就是也想像Kroc一樣成功、賺錢，因此本題答案是[D]。18.[C]。細(xì)節(jié)題。第一個(gè)話輪中，女士一開始提及案件時(shí)即指出....thought to be in his forties…，即死者四十多歲，因此本題答案是[C]。
19.[B]。細(xì)節(jié)題。首先，在第一個(gè)話輪中，女士指出：...body was found in a pedestrian subway in Neasden，說明死者尸體是在地下通道中發(fā)現(xiàn)的;其次。男士進(jìn)一步說明：He was found in the underpass，the pedestrian way，under the North Circular Road。結(jié)合這兩處即可知本題答案是[B]。
20.[D]。推斷題。對話中間幾個(gè)話輪主要集中在案件的一些細(xì)節(jié)情況上，雖然提到了a drunken man、 two girls/women和minicab drivers，但除了在第一個(gè)話輪中男士的最后一句提到了attacker之外，沒有涉及任何murderer的信息，因此對話實(shí)際上并沒交代誰是兇手，故本題答案就是[D]。
