听力原文： Why are so few tigers man-eaters? Why are fewer than three percent likely to be man-eaters? Why are we off the menu for tigers?

It's widely assumed that tigers keep us off the menu through fear. But what are they afraid of? Do they know that we may be better armed than they are? Can they really realize that if they kill just one of us they'll get a whole army after them? Do they find our smell unpleasant? Perhaps.

I think the explanation is simpler and, in a way, more interesting. I suspect that a tiger's fear of humans lies in the way he perceives us at the unique moment of contact.

I am 1.8m tall. A tiger is less than lm tall but may be up to 3m long. So when a tiger sees me, it might reasonably assume that I'm 6m long. If I were a huge deer, he'd leap on my back, but he discovers I have no back. From the front I'm huge, but from the side I all but disappear very upset. A hunter has to be confident that it can tackle its prey, and no one's confident when upset.

If I'm correct, the opposite should be tree of a sitting human, who is half the size, presents twice the spread of back and more closely resembles a medium-sized deer. And, indeed, many attacks on people involve villagers sitting or bending over to cut grass.

When that tiger appeared within inches of me on that twilight evening, I know what was going through my mind. But perhaps I should not even try to guess what he was thinking.

A．Because men are seldom seen in the forest.

B．Because tigers are afraid of something.

C．Because men are not edible.

听力原文： Now, my name is Pat Baker, I work for student services and I'm going to tell you all about our mentoring scheme for new students. What happens is this: each of you, if you want to, will be assigned a mentor—that is, someone who's been studying here for a year or two and who can show you how things work, give you advice and just generally be a friendly contact for you in the university.

What the mentor does is have a group of usually two or three students and he or she organizes meetings about once every two weeks—where you chat about your problems and your mentor will give you the benefit of his or her experience.

Mentors will be able to tell you about academic systems, which are so different at university from what you were used to at school. Also, because at university you are much more independent, they can suggest techniques for studying which will help you to keep up-to-date with your work.

This university is an enormous place, so another thing which they'll be able to help with is university facilities—you know, anything from sports halls to libraries to medical services and they can probably help you get involved in all sorts of social activities too, you know, parties, clubs and sports.

Your mentor will be able to show you how to get an e-mail account… they don't cost anything to students. For people who have never been away from home before, a mentor is a useful contact and support—somewhere between a friend and a parent.

15.According to the talk, who are mentors?

16.How often does the mentor organize meetings?

17.With regard to what mentors can help, which one is NOT mentioned?

18.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as university facilities?

(35)

A．First year students.

B．Second or third year students.

C．Senior students.

D．Graduates.

听力原文：M: Well, Amina, thanks for letting me have your draft in such good time.

W: Oh, that's alright. I was just very anxious to hear what you think of it. You can see that I decided to change the topic—I had been interested in looking at Barings Factory

M: Oh, I think the hospital was a much better choice. In fact... well... I have to say that I thought it was good.

W: Oh ?

M: There's still lots of work to be done... But there're plenty of good ideas. It opens well and the first chapter is fine, but the middle section really stood out for me...most interesting.

W: That's amazing because I really didn't find it a bit easy to write.

M: How long did you work on the whole thing?

W: Well, I spent about two or three weeks reading and doing general research and then I completed it very quickly, so about four weeks in all.

M: Well, that's normal for the course. You've got a while yet to make the changes. Let's have a look at my notes here. OK, starting with section headings.., the broad divisions are good but you'll have to redo the actual headings. I've made some suggestions in the margins. Now this information on local housing, I can see why you put it there but it really isn't relevant to the approach you've taken.

W: I think I see what you mean.

M: And the interviews are very complex and rather unclear at the moment. You're going to have to spend a bit of time making the data a lot clearer.

W: What about the list of dates?

M: My advice on that is to take them out. I feel it makes the whole piece appear too simplistic.

第6题

听力原文： After years of study, I hove determined there are only two types of people in this world: Those who get to the airport early and those who walk in just as the plane is about to take off. If there were any justice in the world, the early airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late airport people would be punished. But there is no justice. I know I hove been an early airport person for years. My luggage will get on the plane first but it will be the last luggage to come off the plane when we land. You know who really gets his luggage first when we land? The late airport person, who rushes into the airport three minutes before the plane takes off. "But if I get there real early," I told myself, "I will get the best seat." Well, no matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three days ahead of me and asked for that seat. The utmost embarrassment of the early airport person happened to me a few years ago when I was flying from New York to Chicago, When I got to the ticket counter, the person there said, "Sir, you hove a seat on the 9:15 A.M. flight, is that right?" "Yea. ' I said. "Well, it's only 7:00 A. M. and the 7:05 A.M. flight has not left yet. If you hurry you can make it." I was too embarrassed to say that I arrived early so I wouldn't have to hurry. Instead, I ran down the corridor to the plane.

(23)

A．He is always in a hurry.

B．He is quick in making decisions.
