听力原文：M: Hi, Mary. Do you want to start the lab report after we finish this experiment?W: I can’t. (4) In fact I need to finish early because I need to go to the psychology department to talk to Professor Catherine about a job opening.M: You mean a job on campus?W: Yeah. And it sounds pretty interesting. It involves helping with your study on learning style. You know, about how some people learn best by sight, while others learn best by hearing or touch.M: Yeah. I know that’s an area of special knowledge.W: Right. In the study she’s taking some high school students who aren’t doing well in classes and testing them to find out their learning styles.

You don’t have to be in
her classes to work on the study.M: Really? Do you have any idea of the schedule?W: Late afternoon then evening for tutoring. After all the kids are in regular classes until three thirty.M: Actually that’s perfect for me.W: Then come along. We will save the lab report for later.

Section B
听力原文： A team of scientists recently began a project to measure the effects of loud noises on sea animals. If the sounds don’t harm the animals, then the
researchers can go ahead with a plan to transmit sound waves through the Pacific Ocean to take earth’s temperature. Sound travels faster through warm water than cold water. (1) By analyzing the speed of sound through the ocean over, the scientists will be able to determine if our planet is warming up. The experiment was nearly cancelled more than a year ago because environmental groups fear that the sound will harm the sea animals. So, scientists are conducting tests on the animals first. The researchers lowered a loud speaker that emit low frequency sound about 1 000 meters beneath the ocean. Scientists at the site transmit sound waves into the ocean. (2) Radio transmitters attached to some of the sea animals help the researchers keep track of the animals’ movements. If sea animals are distressed by the sounds, they would swim away from the speakers. So far, there aren’t any signs that the animals are being harmed. (3) Researchers at the site noticed that large numbers of sea animals swim near the speaker whether it was turned on or off, but it is still too soon to know for sure, the scientists admit. The test will continue. “If all goes well,” they say, “we can begin measuring temperature changes on our planet.”1. What is the purpose of analyzing the speed of sound through the Pacific Ocean?2. For what purpose were radio transmitters used?3. What was the reaction of the sea animals to the sound tests?
16．
A．To measure the movement of waves in the ocean.
B．To determine whether the Earth’s temperature is going up. C．To study the behavior of some sea animals. D．To measure the depths of the ocean.
正确答案：B

17．
A．To attract more sea animals to the testing site.
B．To drive dangerous sea animals away from the testing site. C．To help trace the sea animals being tested.
D．To determine how sea animals communicate with each other.
正确答案：C

18．
A．They were frightened and distressed.
B．They swam away when the speaker was turned on.
C．They swam closer to “examine” the speaker when it was turned off. D．They didn’t seem to be frightened and kept swimming near the speaker.
正确答案：D
解析：事实细节题。根据关键句 “Researchers at the site noticed that large numbers of sea animals swim near the speaker whether it was turned on or off”可知，研究者发现不管它（仪器）是开是关，都有大量的海洋生物在周围游走。由此可推知海洋生物对声音测试并不害怕。故答案选 D。 知识模块：听力
听力原文： As we know, it is very important that a firm should pay attention to the training of its staff, as there exist many weak points in its various departments. Staff training must have a purpose, which is defined when a firm considers its training needs, which are in turn based on job descriptions and job specifications. A job description should give details of the performance that is required for a particular job, and a job specification should give information about the behavior, knowledge and skills that are expected of an employee who works in it. When all of this has been collected, it is possible to make a training specification. (4) This specified what the training department must teach for the successful performance of the job, and also the best methods to use in the training period. There are many different training methods, and there are advantages and disadvantages of all of them. (5) Successful training performance depends on an understanding of the difference between learning about skills and training in using them. It is frequently said that learning about skills takes place “off the job” in the classroom, but training in using these skills takes place “on the job”, by means of such activities as practice in the workshop. It’s always difficult to evaluate the costs of a training programme. (6) The success of such a programme depends not only on the methods used but also on the quality of the staff who do the training. The evaluation of management training is much more complex than that.4. What does a training specification specify?5. What must we understand in order to be successful in our training programmes?6. What does the success of a training programme lie in according to the passage?

听力原文： In Britain and other countries, young people sometimes take a “gap year”, a year off between high school and college. This idea never gained a big following in the United States. Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbers. Mister Deacon says the most common reason is to have a chance to travel. (8) But he says international students may take a gap year to meet requirements at home for military duty. Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education. But it can also give students a chance to explore their interests. Many colleges and universities support gapyear projects by permitting students to delay their admission. Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy. Of course, a gap year is not for everyone. Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college. (9) And parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off. Another concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly. Holly Bull is the president of the Center for Interim Programs. (10) Her company specializes in helping students plan their gap year. She notes that several books have been written about this subject. She says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off.7. What is the meaning of “gap year”?8. According to Mister Deacon, why do international students take a gap year?9. What are parents usually worried about if their children take a gap year?10. What does Miss Holly Bull’s company do?

Section C
听力原文： Americans believe that individuals must learn to (1) rely on themselves or risk losing freedom. This means achieving both financial and (2) emotional independence from their parents as early as possible, usually by age 18 to 21. It means that Americans (3) believe they should take care of themselves, (4) solve their own problems, and stand on their own two feet. This self-reliance continues today as a basic American (5) belief. This is perhaps one of the most difficult (6) aspects of the American character to understand, but it is (7) profoundly important. Americans believe that they must be selfreliant in order to keep their freedom. If they rely too much on the support of their families or the government or any (8) organizations, they may not be free to do what they want. By being dependent, not only do they risk losing freedom, but also risk losing the respect of their peers. Even if they are not truly self-reliant, most Americans believe they must at least appear to be so. In order to be in the mainstream of American life — to have power and respect — individual must be as seen as self-reliant. Although receiving financial support from charity, family or the government is allowed, it is never admired. Many people believe that such individuals are setting a bad example which may (10) weaken the American character as a whole.
