[00:12.49]W: I usually don't
[00:15.75]but I couldn't find the restaurant and he looked very respectable.
[00:21.50]Q: Why was the man upset?
[00:24.95]2.W:I heard there was a scene at the dinner last night.
[00:30.41]M: You're right.
[00:33.15]Nobody at the table could put up with Dr.Lawrence.
[00:38.11]He proposed that life would be much better in this country
[00:42.87]if we had a segregation policy.
[00:46.92]Q: How did the other guests feel about Dr.Lawrence's suggestion?
[00:52.45]3. W: Don't talk to the boss today.
[00:56.89]He must have got out of bed on the wrong side.

[01:51.99]I saw a car backing out of the drive way.
[01:56.85]It was Mrs. Kathy who didn't stop at all.
[02:01.89]She backed right into me.

[02:27.33]7. M: Say Phi.
[02:31.09]How about donating $ 15 or $ 20 to the scholarship fund?
[02:37.05]W: I wish I could. But $ 10 is all I can spare.
[02:42.48]Q: What did you learn about Phil and the scholarship fund?
[02:47.52]8.M:If you want to make friends in this town

[03:04.50]9.M:Professor Smith wil give a lecture in Room 105 this evening
[03:11.35]but I don't think all the students in our grade can go there.

[03:21.14]W: Oh.Didn't you know?
[03:24.70]They've doubled the size of the room by pulling down a wall.
[03:29.95]Q: How many persons can the room hold now?
[03:34.39]10. W:How will you spend your summer vacation?
[03:39.25]M:At first I thought I'd go to Mount Lu for the vacation
[03:44.81]but after a careful thought
[03:48.15]I decided to stay at the school and find an odd job to earn some money.
[03:54.11]Q: What is the man going to do during the vacation?
[03:58.86]Section B    Passage One
[04:03.12]It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger
[04:09.36]who had promised to pay an extra far.
[04:14.12]While the youth stood on the landing place searching in his pockets for money
[04:19.66]the boatman got close to him and with the help of the moonlight
[04:25.20]took a careful look at the stranger---a young man of just 18 years
[04:31.75]obviously country bred,and now,as it seemer
[04:36.69]on his first visit to town.
[04:40.42]He was wearing a rough gray coat
[04:44.37]which was in good shap
[04:47.71]The clothes under his coat were well made of leathee
[04:52.65]and fitted tightly to a pair of fat legs
[04:57.22]his blue cotton stockings must have been the work of his mother or sister
[05:03.46]and on his head was a 3-cornered hat.
[05:08.01]In his left hand was a walking stick
[05:12.16]which hung on his strong shoulder
[05:16.03]with 2 leather bags on both ends of the stick.
[05:20.68]The youth,whose name was Robin, paid the boatman
[05:25.93]and then walked forward into the town with light steps
[05:30.97]as if he had not already traveled more than 30 miles that day.
[05:37.42]As he walked alone he looked about his surroundings
[05:43.09]as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid
[05:48.53]in stead of the little town.
[05:52.05]11. Why was the boarman willing to taken Robin across the river?
[05:58.58]12. What time of the year did the story most probably take place?
[06:05.04]13. At what time of the day did Robin cross the river?
[06:10.60]14. What do we know from the context about Robin?
[06:16.24]Passage Two
[06:19.79]In the year 2000,the world is going to have a population of about 8 billion.
[06:26.56]Most scientists agree that the most severe problem is food suppy.
[06:33.01]Who is going to feed all those people?
[06:37.45]Where is the food going to come from?
[06:42.10]Are you going to have enough food?
[06:46.36]Are we going to produce more artificial food?
[06:51.22]One way of improving the situation is for people to eat less meat.  Why?
[06:58.56]Because it takes four kilo of grain protein to produce half a kilo of meat protein.
[07:06.11]Clearly,there is not going to be sufficient meat protein for 8 billion people.
[07:13.35]Therefore,it will also be necessary to change eating habits
[07:19.01]because meat is the main part of many people's food today.
[07:24.55]A possible solution to this latter problem is the soybea
[07:30.90]The soybean plant produces beans which have a very high fat and protein content.
[07:38.45]Scientists can now make these look and taste like real mea
[07:44.80]They can also make many other artificial products such as soybean milk,
[07:51.64]for example,which has a taste of milk and can be used in cooking
[07:57.78]in very much the same ways as cow's milk.
[08:03.21]In fact,one woman in the United States fed her family only on soybeans for a year.
[08:10.97]She gave them soybean beef,soybean chicke,
[08:16.22]soybean milk,and sometimes just soybean.
[08:21.26]Possibly,we are all going to eat soybeans in the future
[08:27.30]and finally give up meat completely from our tables.
[08:32.37]15. What is the main subject of the passage?
[08:38.11]16.Why will meat completely disappear in the future according to the passage?
[08:45.35]17. What do we know about soybean meat?
[08:50.29]Passage Three
[08:53.34]If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good thing.
[08:59.40]This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors
[09:04.65]who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercises
[09:10.61]---and as a result we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
[09:16.96]Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out
[09:20.90]why quite healthy farmers
[09:25.55]in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think
[09:30.80]and reason at a rather early age
[09:35.76]and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
[09:41.12]With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University
[09:46.97]he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different jobs.
[09:53.42]Computer technology helped the researchers to get most measurements of the volume
[10:00.08]of the front and side parts of brain
[10:04.73]which have something to do with intellect and feeling
[10:09.78]and decide the human characte
[10:14.03]As we all know, the back part of the brain
[10:18.48]which controls tasks like eating and breathing
[10:23.54]does not contract with age.
[10:27.70]Contraction of the front and side parts
[10:32.03]--as cells die off--was seen in some people in their thirties
[10:38.09]but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year olds.
[10:44.15]Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way
[10:49.90]to prevent the contraction--using the head.
