[07:34.31] Conversation one
[07:36.44] W: So John,I hear you and Arthur share a job,don't you?
[07:41.48] M: Yes.We've shared a sales job at Sonatech for about two years now.
[07:47.25] W: Well, how do you divide up your schedule?
[07:50.50] M: You know we are both sales representatives,and we take orders over the phone.
[07:56.63] When we started job sharing it was difficult,because we both worked all day Monday.
[08:03.20] I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesday and Friday.
[08:08.97] The problem was that when I was in the office on Tuesday.
[08:12.94] I would talk to people, then they would call back on Wednesday with a question.
[08:18.59] But Arthur couldn't answer the question and he couldn't ask me about it because I wasn't in the office.
[08:25.01] So he had to ask the people to call me back the next day, Thursday.
[08:30.82] Of course,they didn't like to wait until the next day to have their questions answered.
[08:36.06] W: Yes, that sounds like a problem.
[08:39.26] M: So,finally we decided that Arthur would work in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons.
[08:46.80] Now if someone calls with the question for me in the morning,Arthur tells them to call me in the afternoon.
[08:54.31] This way, people get their questions answered the same day.
[08:59.48] W: What do you do about vacations?
[09:03.47] M: Well,Sonatech gives the usual two weeks of vacation to full-time employees,
[09:08.93] I take a week and Arthur takes a week. sonatech
[09:13.22] W: It sounds like job sharing has worked out well for you.
[09:16.37] M: Yes, it has. We are both happy with it.
[09:21.52] Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard
[09:27.56] Q19. What do John and author do at Sonatech?
[09:48.44] Q20. What problem did John and Arthur have when they started job sharing?

[10:34.47] W: May I see your license, please?
[10:36.87] M: But officer, did I do something wrong?
[10:40.44] W: Do you mean to say you didn't see the speed limit sign back there?
[10:45.03] M: Um, no, madam, I guess I didn't.
[10:47.61] W: In other words, you drove by too fast to read it.
[10:52.71] The sign says 35m/h. A school is just nearby, you know?
[10:59.51] M: Don't get me wrong, but my speedometer didn't read much faster than that.
[11:05.18] W: Then, why is it that my radar showed you are going 45?
[11:09.97] Let me put it another way.I'm going to give you a ticket.Again,may I see your license,please?
[11:20.45] M: Here it is,officer.But let me explain.
[11:24.36] I was late for an important appointment and I was worried that I wouldn't make it on time.So..
[11:31.82] W: Uha, just a minute, here. Your license is no longer valid.
[11:38.97] You should have renewed it two weeks ago.I'm going to have to write you up for that,too.
[11:45.26] M: What? Really?
[11:47.00] W: Your license becomes invalid on your birthday and that was two weeks ago according to the date here.
[11:55.00] You are in violation of the law—driving without a valid license.
[12:00.57] M: I'm sorry, madam. I hadn't realized that.
[12:03.49] W: Here's the ticket for not having a valid license.
[12:07.71] But I'm only going to give you a warning about exceeding the speed limit.
[12:12.51] Be careful next time.
[12:14.83] M: Yes, madam, officer, I will. Thank you.
[12:19.06] Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard
[12:26.53] Q22. Where was the man stopped by the police officer?
[12:48.06] Q23. What did the man claim about the speed limit sign?

[13:52.89] Section B
[13:54.25] Directions
[14:26.80] Passage 1
[14:29.55] Since I started working part-time at a grocery store,
[14:33.85] I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buy something.
[14:39.66] To me,a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping card.
[14:49.20] One of the first things customers forget is how to count.
[14:54.52] There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line,
[15:00.42] which is clearly marked 15 items or less,with 20,25 or even a cart load of items.
[15:10.48] Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place.
[15:15.06] Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say,
[15:20.07] "Oops,I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread.
[15:24.08] I hope you don't mind waiting while I go get it."
[15:27.28] Five minutes later,he's back with the bread, a bottle of milk,and three rolls of paper towels.
[15:35.63] Strange is that seems customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries.
[15:43.37] Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries,
[15:49.71] my customers will wait until I announce the total.
[15:53.64] Then,in surprise,she says,"Oh no,what did I do with my check book?"
[16:00.63] After 5 minutes of digging through her purse,she borrows my pen because she's forgotten hers.
[16:08.97] But I have to be tolerant of customers because they pay my salary,
[16:14.00] and that's something I can't afford to forget.
[16:19.77] Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard
[16:25.20] Q26. What does the speaker say about customers’ entering the grocery store?
[16:48.46] Q27. Which customers are supposed to be in the express line?
[17:10.30] Q28. What does the speaker say some customers do when they arrive at the check-out counter?
[17:33.63] Q29. What does the speaker say about his job at the end of the talk?
[17:56.86] Passage 2
[17:58.64] The speech delivery style of Europeans and Asians tends to be very formal.
[18:05.18] Speakers of these cultures often read oral presentations from carefully retain manual scripts.
[18:11.50] On the other hand, American speakers are generally more informal relative to speakers and other cultures.
[18:19.98] American audiences prefer natural,spontaneous delivery that conveys a lively sense of communication.
[18:28.99] They don't relay well to speakers who read from a manual script.
[18:34.03] If you use an outline of your ideas instead of a prepare text,your speech will not only sound more natural,
[18:41.26] but you will also be able to establish better relationship with your listeners and keep their attention.
[18:48.74] The language and style you use when making an oral presentation
[18:53.80] should not be the same as the language in style you use when writing.
[18:58.75] Well retain information,that is meant to be read, does not work as well when it is heard.
[19:05.12] It is,therefore,important for you to adapt retain texts or outlines for presentations.
[19:11.69] Good speakers are much more informal when speaking than when writing.
[19:17.38] They also use their own words and develop their own speaking styles.
[19:22.05] Whenever possible,they use short words.
[19:25.48] Listeners are appreciated when speakers use simple,everyday words in a presentation.
[19:31.76] One advantage is that it is much easier for speakers to pronounce short words correctly.
[19:38.43] Another is that long and sophisticated vocabulary choices make listening more difficult.
[19:46.15] Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard
[19:52.78] Q30. What does the speaker say American audiences prefer?
[20:15.60] Q31. What should one pay attention to when making an oral presentation?
[20:37.66] Q32. What does the speaker focus on in the talk?
[20:59.35] Passage 3
[21:01.66] Let children learn to judge their own work
[21:06.13] A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time.
[21:12.75] If corrected too much, he will stop talking.
[21:16.85] He compares a thousand times a day the difference between
[21:21.80] language as he uses it and language as those around him use it.
[21:27.94] Bit by bit,he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's.
[21:34.96] In the same way, kids learning to do all the other things they learn without adult teachers,
[21:43.17] to walk,run,climb,ride a bike,play games,compare their own performance with what more skilled people do,
[21:52.47] and slowly make the needed changes.
[21:56.15] But in school we never give a child a chance to detect his mistakes.
[22:02.01] We do it all for him.
[22:04.57] We act as if we thought he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him.
[22:11.72] Soon he becomes dependent on the expert.
[22:15.64] We should let him do it himself. Let him figure out,
[22:20.35] with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says,
[22:25.22] what is the answer to that problem,
[22:28.14] whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or that.
[22:32.83] If right answers need to be given,as in mathematics or science,give him the answer book.
[22:39.83] Let him correct his own papers.
[22:43.07] Why should we teachers waste time on such tedious work?
[22:48.36] Our job should be to help the children
[22:50.39] when they tell us that they can't find the way to get the right answer.
[22:57.51] Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard
[23:04.51] Q33. How does a child learn to do something according to the speaker?
[23:27.75] Q34. What belief do teachers commonly hold according to the speaker?
[23:50.38] Q35 What does the speaker imply about the current way of teaching?
[24:13.80] Section C
[24:15.19] Directions
[25:04.73] Time is, for the average American, of utmost importance.
[25:09.52] To the foreign visitor,Americans seem to be more concerned with getting things accomplished on time
[25:16.62] (according to a predetermined schedule)than they are with developing deep interpersonal relations.
[25:23.62] Schedules,for the American,are meant to be planned and then followed in the smallest detail.
[25:31.26] It may seem to you that most Americans are completely controlled
[25:35.42] by the little machines they wear on their wrists,
[25:38.60] cutting their discussions off abruptly to make it to their next appointment on time.
[25:44.09] Americans'language is filled with references to time,
[25:44.08] giving a clear indication of how much it is valued.
[25:52.79] Time is something to be'on',to be 'kept','filled','saved','wasted','gained',
[26:00.56] 'planned','given','made the most of',even'killed'.
[26:05.71] The international visitor soon learns that it is considered very rude to be late
[26:12.52] -- even by 10 minutes -- for an appointment in America.
[26:16.93] Time is so valued in America,
[26:19.91] because by considering time to be important one can clearly achieve more than if one'wastes'time
[26:28.07] and doesn't keep busy.
[26:29.96] This philosophy has proven its worth.
[26:33.40] It has enabled Americans to be extremely productive,
[26:37.43] and productivity itself is highly valued in America.
[26:41.42] Many American proverbs stress the value of guarding time,
[26:46.14] using it wisely, and setting and working toward specific goals.
[26:51.14] Americans believe in spending their time and energy today
[26:56.28] so that the fruits of their labor may be enjoyed at a later time.
[27:01.84] Now the passage will be read again
[27:05.29] Time is, for the average American, of utmost importance.
[27:09.76] To the foreign visitor,

[28:11.55] -- even by 10 minutes -- for an appointment in America
[28:16.09] （此时到29:10.89为无声段）
[29:11.52] Time is so valued in America, because by considering time to be important one can clearly
[29:18.32] achieve more than if one'wastes'time and doesn't keep busy.

[14:26.80] Passage 1
[14:29.55] Since I started working parttime at a grocery store,
[14:33.85] I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buy something.
[14:39.66] To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping card.
[14:49.20] One of the first things customers forget is how to count.
[14:54.52] There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line,
[15:00.42] which is clearly marked 15 items or less, with 20, 25 or even a cart load of items.
[15:10.48] Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place.
[15:15.06] Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say,
[15:20.07] " Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread.
[15:24.08] I hope you don' t mind waiting while I go get it."
[15:27.28] Five minutes later, he' s back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels.
[15:35.63] Strange is that seems customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries.
[15:43.37] Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries,
[15:49.71] my customers will wait until I announce the total.
[15:53.64] Then, in surprise, she says," Oh no, what did I do with my check book?"
[16:00.63] After 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because she' s forgotten hers.
[16:08.97] But I have to be tolerant of customers because they pay my salary,
[16:14.00] and that' s something I can' t afford to forget.
[16:19.77] Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard
[16:25.20] Q26. What does the speaker say about customers' entering the grocery store?
[16:48.46] Q27. Which customers are supposed to be in the express line?
[17:10.30] Q28. What does the speaker say some customers do when they arrive at the checkout counter?
[17:33.63] Q29. What does the speaker say about his job at the end of the talk?
[17:56.86] Passage 2
[17:58.64] The speech delivery style of Europeans and Asians tends to be very formal.
[18:05.18] Speakers of these cultures often read oral presentations from carefully retain manual scripts.
[18:11.50] On the other hand, American speakers are generally more informal relative to speakers and other cultures.
[18:19.98] American audiences prefer natural, spontaneous delivery that conveys a lively sense of communication.
[18:28.99] They don' t relay well to speakers who read from a manual script.
[18:34.03] If you use an outline of your ideas instead of a prepare text, your speech will not only sound more natural,
[18:41.26] but you will also be able to establish better relationship with your listeners and keep their attention.
[18:48.74] The language and style you use when making an oral presentation
[18:53.80] should not be the same as the language in style you use when writing.
[18:58.75] Well retain information, that is meant to be read, does not work as well when it is heard.
[19:05.12] It is, therefore, important for you to adapt retain texts or outlines for presentations.
[19:11.69] Good speakers are much more informal when speaking than when writing.
[19:17.38] They also use their own words and develop their own speaking styles.
[19:22.05] Whenever possible, they use short words.
[19:25.48] Listeners are appreciated when speakers use simple, everyday words in a presentation.
[19:31.76] One advantage is that it is much easier for speakers to pronounce short words correctly.
[19:38.43] Another is that long and sophisticated vocabulary choices make listening more difficult.
[19:46.15] Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard
[19:52.78] Q30. What does the speaker say American audiences prefer?
[20:15.60] Q31. What should one pay attention to when making an oral presentation?
[20:37.66] Q32. What does the speaker focus on in the talk?
[20:59.35] Passage 3
[21:01.66] Let children learn to judge their own work
[21:06.13] A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time.
[21:12.75] If corrected too much, he will stop talking.
[21:16.85] He compares a thousand times a day the difference between
[21:21.80] language as he uses it and language as those around him use it.
[21:27.94] Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people' s.
[21:34.96] In the same way, kids learning to do all the other things they learn without adult teachers,
[21:43.17] to walk, run, climb, ride a bike, play games, compare their own performance with what more skilled people do,
[21:52.47] and slowly make the needed changes.
[21:56.15] But in school we never give a child a chance to detect his mistakes.
[22:02.01] We do it all for him.
[22:04.57] We act as if we thought he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him.
[22:11.72] Soon he becomes dependent on the expert.
[22:15.64] We should let him do it himself. Let him figure out,
[22:20.35] with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says,
[22:25.22] what is the answer to that problem,
[22:28.14] whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or that.
[22:32.83] If right answers need to be given, as in mathematics or science, give him the answer book.
[22:39.83] Let him correct his own papers.
[22:43.07] Why should we teachers waste time on such tedious work?
[22:48.36] Our job should be to help the children
[22:50.39] when they tell us that they can' t find the way to get the right answer.
[22:57.51] Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard
[23:04.51] Q33. How does a child learn to do something according to the speaker?
[23:27.75] Q34. What belief do teachers commonly hold according to the speaker?
[23:50.38] Q35 What does the speaker imply about the current way of teaching?

[25:04.73] Time is, for the average American, of utmost importance.
[25:09.52] To the foreign visitor, Americans seem to be more concerned with getting things accomplished on time
[25:16.62] according to a predetermined schedule than they are with developing deep interpersonal relations.
[25:23.62] Schedules, for the American, are meant to be planned and then followed in the smallest detail.
[25:31.26] It may seem to you that most Americans are completely controlled
[25:35.42] by the little machines they wear on their wrists,
[25:38.60] cutting their discussions off abruptly to make it to their next appointment on time.
[25:44.09] Americans' language is filled with references to time,
[25:44.08] giving a clear indication of how much it is valued.
[25:52.79] Time is something to be' on', to be ' kept',' filled',' saved',' wasted',' gained',
[26:00.56] ' planned',' given',' made the most of', even' killed'.
[26:05.71] The international visitor soon learns that it is considered very rude to be late
[26:12.52] even by 10 minutes for an appointment in America.
[26:16.93] Time is so valued in America,
[26:19.91] because by considering time to be important one can clearly achieve more than if one' wastes' time
[26:28.07] and doesn' t keep busy.
[26:29.96] This philosophy has proven its worth.
[26:33.40] It has enabled Americans to be extremely productive,
[26:37.43] and productivity itself is highly valued in America.
[26:41.42] Many American proverbs stress the value of guarding time,
[26:46.14] using it wisely, and setting and working toward specific goals.
[26:51.14] Americans believe in spending their time and energy today
[26:56.28] so that the fruits of their labor may be enjoyed at a later time.

[07:47.25] W: Well, how do you divide up your schedule?
[07:50.50] M: You know we are both sales representatives, and we take orders over the phone.
[07:56.63] When we started job sharing it was difficult, because we both worked all day Monday.
[08:03.20] I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesday and Friday.
[08:08.97] The problem was that when I was in the office on Tuesday.
[08:12.94] I would talk to people, then they would call back on Wednesday with a question.
[08:18.59] But Arthur couldn' t answer the question and he couldn' t ask me about it because I wasn' t in the office.
[08:25.01] So he had to ask the people to call me back the next day, Thursday.
[08:30.82] Of course, they didn' t like to wait until the next day to have their questions answered.
[08:36.06] W: Yes, that sounds like a problem.
[08:39.26] M: So, finally we decided that Arthur would work in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons.

[10:45.03] M: Um, no, madam, I guess I didn' t.
[10:47.61] W: In other words, you drove by too fast to read it.
[10:52.71] The sign says 35m h. A school is just nearby, you know?
[10:59.51] M: Don' t get me wrong, but my speedometer didn' t read much faster than that.

[27:05.29] Time is, for the average American, of utmost importance.
[27:09.76] To the foreign visitor,
[27:11.73] Americans seem to be more concerned with getting things accomplished on time
[27:16.18] according to a predetermined schedule than they are with developing deep interpersonal relations.
[27:22.94] Schedules, for the American, are meant to be planned and then followed in the smallest detail.
[27:30.03] It may seem to you that most Americans are completely controlled by the little machines they wear on their wrists,
[27:37.48] cutting their discussions off abruptly to make it to their next appointment on time.

[27:47.91] giving a clear indication of how much it is valued.
