听力原文：M: Good morning.

W: Good Morning. Please sit down. Why do you want to be a journalist？

M: Because I've always been interested in language and writing.

W: Since you're a graduate, you are older than the trainee we're looking for. Why did you apply for the job？

M: My age may be wrong. But my preparation for the job is right.

M. Much of it was spent on research of the kind I would have to do for a newspaper.

W: What else？

M: In my final year I helped with the student newspaper, and I also tried broadcasting on local radio. I presented a weekly student programme called "Forum". Writing for radio and producing a programme was exciting and rewarding. We had a strict time table.

M: I didn't.

W: Good. Can you start on Monday？

听力原文：M: I have been studying too much and need a change. So I've just made plans to go away during the January break.

W: Really? Where are you going?

M: I'm planning to visit New Mexico.

W: My sister and I vacationed there last year and we had a great time.

M: Did you get into Albuquerque?

W: Sure. Whenever we weren't skiing.

M: Is it far from the mountains?

W: Not at all. See, even though Albuquerque is on a high flat plateau, there are even higher mountains near it. Just half an hour away from the city there are snow-covered slopes.

M: Well. As the mountains are just thirty minutes away, I guess I should take my ice skates and my skis.

W: Definitely.

M: I heard that the weather there is great.

W: It is. No humidity, moderate temperatures, but you do need to be careful about the high altitude.

M: What should I do about that?

W: Oh, just take it easy for a few days. Don't go hiking up the mountains or exercise too vigorously. Just do everything gradually.

M: I'm sure I will be fine. And I will let you know all about my trip when I come back.

Wily does the woman know so much about Albuquerque?

A．Her sister lives there.

B．She attended college there.

C．She lives thirty minutes from there.

D．She visited there last year.

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS

Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文：M. Hi, Lynn. I saw you at registration yesterday. I sailed right through, but you were standing in a long line.

W: Yeah. I waited an hour to sign up for a distance-learning course.

M: Distance-learning? Never heard of it!

W: Well, it's new this semester. It's only open to psychology majors. But I bet it'll catch on elsewhere. Yesterday, over a hundred students signed up.

M: Well, what is it?

W: It's an experimental course. I registered for child psychology. All I have got to do is watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows them seven different times a day and in seven different locations.

M: Don't you ever have to meet with professor?

W: Yeah. After each part of the series I have to talk to her and the other students on the phone, you know, about our ideas. Then we'll meet on campus three times for reviews and exams.

M: It sounds pretty non-traditional to me. But I guess it makes sense, considering how many students have jobs. It must really help with their schedules, not to mention how it will cut down on traffic.

W: You know, last year my department did a survey and they found out that 80 percent of all psychology majors were employed. That's why they came up with the program.

M: Look, I'll be working three days a week next semester and it was either cut back on my classes or tries this out.

Which of the following is NOT correct?

A．This is a program for distance learning.

B．This course is only open to psychology majors by now.

C．There are not so many students interested in this program.

D．This is a new program started from this semester.

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS

Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文：M: Think about it, Mary. Through telecommunication, information travels almost at the speed of light.

W: That is 1,860,000 miles per second, isn't it?

M: Yeah. Or 300,000 km per second. Of course only light can travel that fast.

W: Yeah. I know, Bob. But it is still incredible. When an astronaut lands on the moon within seconds we on earth can see it happen. The people here in Australia see it at the same moment they see it in the U.S. It's wonderful.

M: Maybe it's wonderful. I know very well it is a fact. All over the planet we can see the same things at the same time--someone moving on the moon or playing a soccer game or we can even watch the same war, if we like.

W: That's awful.

M: What? Soccer?

W: You know very well what I mean. The war. It's awful to have a war on television. It's not right to sit in your house to watch people kill each other.

M: Right or wrong, awful or not, it is a fact. Wars are on television all the time, and people all over the world watch it. Sometimes they eat dinner while they watch.

W: I don't believe that.

M: The trouble with you is that you have many opinions about things but you don't look at facts. You don't see what you don't want to see.

What does Mary think is so incredible and wonderful?

A．The speed of light.

B．The speed of telecommunication.

C．Astronauts landing on the moon.

D．The United States.

听力原文：W: Excuse me, Dr Chandler, do you have a moment?

M: Of course, what can I do for you, Sienna?

W: I wonder if I could change the topic of my paper. You know I was writing about Apono 11, but now I want to write about something else.

M: Oh, I'm a little surprised. On Monday, you were showing me all the pictures of the moon landing you'd found on the Internet. Why did you change your mind?

W: Well, yesterday my friend introduced me to her uncle, who was an excellent astronaut at NASA up until a year ago. That' g really cool! So, I'd like to write about him if that's okay.

M: Yes, that sounds like it'll be a fascinating paper. Make sure that you include some historical facts, though this gentleman's job must have been very interesting, don't forget the historical context or background.

W: I've got some books about the American space program.

M: That sounds like a good start. You could talk a little about the European and Russian space programs, too.

W: I'll do that. I'll see you next week, Dr. Chandler. Thank you!

M: Bye, Sienna. I' look forward to reading your paper.

What are the speakers talking about?

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS

Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文：M: Lisa, do you think it's good that Miss Rice's been nominated to be chairman of the department?

W: Yes, I do. Rice is so well liked. She really gets along with people well. She really knows how to handle them.

M: That's true. And I do think it's nice that it's a woman that's been nominated. You know women have had trouble for such a long time. But in the long run I think it's important that a man is the head of the English department.

W: Why? And what's so special about a man?

M: Because men are stronger than women.

W: I don't think that has anything to do with it. I think we should look at it as to who is more qualified.

M: But I think men are basically, inherently stronger than women.

W: Don't be so chauvinistic, Garry. Look at Thatcher, for example. She is an exception to the rule.

M: I think that she's just lucky enough to beat the men at their own game.

W: Well, Garry. That's because women aren't so accepted, it may be putting Rice in a difficult situation if she is made department head. And that's why we have to support her, even bring up false arguments.

M: Well, I'm just wondering how her fellow male colleagues in the university are going to react to a woman as the department head.

W: That's a good point, and I think that since we all know she's qualified, so with our support she can do it.

M: OK, I will try.

Which of the following is NOT the reason that Lisa thinks Rice is qualified for the position?

A．She is well liked and has good qualifications.

B．She gets well along with other people.

C．She knows how to deal with and handle people.

D．Women are more likely to be accepted by others.

听力原文：Judy: Hi, Tom!

Tom: Judy. Haven't seen you in weeks. Where have you been?

Judy: In Florida.

Tom: (9[C]) What, going On holiday! While the rest of us are studying on the campus in February cold?

Judy: Not exactly. I spent most of my time under water.

Tom: I don't understand.

Judy: (10[A]) I was on a special field trip. I went with my marine biology class.

Tom: So you went diving. What were you looking for, sunken treasure?

Judy: You might say so. The sea's full of treasures. All kinds of strange fascinating organisms. Our class concentrated on studying plankton.

Tom: I thought planktons were too small to be seen.

Judy: That's common misconception. The term plankton covers a wild variety of freely flowing plants and animals, from one cell organisms to larger ones, such as the common jellyfish.

Tom: Jellyfish may be large enough to be seen. But can you see the very tiny planktons?

Judy: By concentrating. I was able to see the outlines of lots of different plankton plants and animals.

Tom: That sounds like an interesting trip. But I think if I've been in Florida in February, I'd much rather spend my time just swimming and lying in the sun.

What was Tom doing in February?

A．He was on a field trip.

B．He was vacationing in Florida.

C．He was studying most of the time.

D．He was vacationing at home.

M: I'm fixing up on next project team meeting, and I just want to check some possible dates with you.

W: Fine, let me just get my diary. OK, which dates are you looking at?

W: Yeah, both of the weeks are pretty clear at the moment except for the llth of June.

M: Right, I've got that.

M: It was going to be in London. But I spoke to Carlos in Mexico City, and he suggested Chicago. He thinks it will be more convenient for most of the team.

M: That's a good idea. I'll check up some hotels in that area and get back to you towards the end of the week.

听力原文：W: So, how are things going, Steve?

M: Well, to be honest, Carla, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick Sunday afternoon. And I'm really worried because I'm scheduled to give a presentation at work on Friday, so I have to be better by then.

W: Well, what seems to be the problem?

M: Well, the doctor said it was just a bad cold. He gave me some cold medicine to take care of my stuffy nose and fever. I'm supposed to take the medicine three times a day after eating, but it doesn't seem to help. He also told me to stay off my feet for a day or so, but I'm so busy these days.

W: Listen, forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to get rid of bad colds. You see, my mom is really into herbal medicine.

M: Oh, no, thanks.

W: Ah, come on! Give it a try. You just take some of my mom's herbal tea and drink it four times a day. Believe me. You'll be up and dancing around in no time.

M: Well, I guess. Nothing else seems to be doing the job.

W: Great. I'll come by your place at 7: 30. See you then.
