[02:54.73]Passage One
[02:56.51]Some of the notebooks of young Washington's are now kept in the museum.
[03:02.18]They show that he was learning Latin and was fond of reading English novels.
[03:07.30]At school he seemed only to be interested in maths.
[03:10.96]In fact,his schooling was surprisingly short for a gentleman,and incomplete.
[03:16.60]For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day,he did not go to college of William and Mary in the Virginian capital.
[03:25.24]He received less formal education than some other early American presidents such as Adams,Jefferson and Madison.
[03:33.89]In later years,Washington probably regretted his lack of formal training.
[03:39.06]He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress,or on any subject that had nothing to do with practical matters.
[03:47.21]And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders,
[03:52.44]he did not visit the country he admired so much.
[03:55.99]Thus,unlike Jefferson and Adams,he never reached Europe.
[04:01.71]Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[04:06.83]11.Why didn't Washington go to college?
[04:12.97]12.Why did Washington never visit France?
[04:18.74]13.What is the main idea of the passage?
[04:23.97]Passage Two
[04:26.16]In 1954,the first work was begun on Disneyland.
[04:31.41]One year later,on July 17,1955,it was finished.
[04:37.58]This was the completion of a dream Walt Disney had had for twenty years.
[04:43.72]He had built it on a very flat piece of land.
[04:47.27]There had been nothing there except some fruit trees.
[04:52.02]The park includes many things that are unique.
[04:55.37]There are lots of things that children love to visit.
[04:58.97]And adults enjoy them almost as much.
[05:03.23]Main Street U.S.A.shows the United States around 1900.
[05:08.35]Adventure land is in a tropical setting.
[05:11.51]It shows the jungles of Asia and Africa.
[05:15.12]For young children the most enjoyable place is probably Fantasyland.
[05:20.89]Older children have a great deal of fun at Tomorrowland.
[05:26.01]There are many other lands at Disneyland.
[05:29.25]It would be possible to spend several days at Disneyland and still not see everything.
[05:36.38]All of this was the result of the dream of one man.
[05:40.53]But Walt Disney was not satisfied with just one such place.
[05:45.65]He also made plans for Walt Disney World.
[05:48.89]This was built in Florida during the 1960's,
[05:53.04]It was the last great creation of Walt Disney.
[05:58.11]14.When was the Disneyland completed?
[06:04.30]15.When place do young children most enjoy ?
[06:11.49]16.What kind of land was Disneyland built on?
[06:18.67]Passage Three
[06:20.76]The law consists of a great many of rules,showing when and how far a man is likely to be punished,
[06:27.45]or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbours,and so forth.
[06:32.80]These rules are contained in books.
[06:35.86]A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.
[06:40.01]He begins by doing little else than reading,and after he has prepared by,
[06:45.42]say three years' study to practice,still,all his lifelong and almost every day,
[06:51.82]he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer.
[07:00.49]The power to use books,then,is a talent which the would_be lawyer ought to have.
[07:07.21]He ought to be very flexible and find to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words.
[07:14.39]He ought to be ready in finding what a book contains,and something of an instinct for where to look for what he wants.
[07:23.56]But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need,it is not the most important.
[07:30.32]A lawyer does not study law to recite;he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life.
[07:39.52]His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble.
[07:48.17]He studies his books in order to advise and to try his cases in the right way.
[07:54.44]Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[08:00.57]17.What does the man who wants to be a lawyer do after three years of reading?
[08:08.78]18.What ability should a would_be lawyer have?
[08:15.88]19.What is the main business of a lawyer?
[08:21.97]20.What is a good lawyer capable of doing?
