Passage 1
1970 年,一位美国人发明了一辆与众不同的自行车。它看上去好像是将两辆自行车合为一辆,并且可同时供两人使用。每一位骑车人都有自己的座位。因为他们都有各自的手把,都能驾驭自行车。然而,该项发明未能成功。如果其中一位骑车人略微向左拐,另一位略微向右拐,两人都会摔倒在经。

20 年前,摩托罗拉公司带着近乎害怕的心理看待日本企业。早在(20 世纪)60 年代, 这个公司芝加哥的电视制造分公司规模大、利润高。但在70年代初,高成本以及日本廉价电视机日趋上升的势头使其遭受重创。“日本人非常嚣张,”摩托罗拉公司发言人马里奥·萨尔瓦多瑞追忆道, “他们想分享市场。”通过残酷无情的价格战,他们如愿以偿,并最终把几乎所有美国电子公司赶出电视机行业。1974 年,摩托罗拉将其Quasar电视生产厂卖给了一家日本公司。但是,当其他美国公司在对外竞争中败北的时候,摩托罗拉公司重新调整了产业方向,转向无线通讯。这是一个它在20 年代开拓的产业(另外还有移动收音机和步话机)。此举确有先见之明。
SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2)
According to a survey, about 40% of our country's youth do not read any books other than their textbooks. I am shocked at the result. I remain suspicious of the survey, though the people concerned claim it to be scientific. Despite my suspicion, the fact is that more and more young people, instead of reading, spend their spare time watching TV, going to dance parties, playing video games or chitchatting. Gorgy once said: “Books are steps toward human progress.”As we all know, books is a crystallization of human wisdom. Although modern media such as TV and computers enjoy advantages in the speed of information dissemination, so far none of them can replace books in respect of the depth of knowledge being spread.

SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST
Part A: Sport Dictation
Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the correstponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE. Now, let's begin Part A with Spot Dictation.
(Woman) Many people nowadays are concerned about violence on television. Most of them fear that it stimulates television viewers to violent or aggressive acts. However, in my lecture today,I'd like to show you,from our recent research, that the consequences of experiencing television's symbolic world of violence can be much more far-reaching.
We have found that television dramatically demonstrates not only the power of authority in our society, but also the risks involved in breaking society's rules. Violence-filled programs on television show us who gets away with what, and against whom. These programs teach the role of victim, and help us to accept violence as a social reality which we must learn to live with or escape from.
We have found that people who watch a lot of television see the real world as more dangerous and frightening than those who watch very little. Heavy TV viewers are less trustful of strangers on the street and more fearful of the real world. Their fear may well bring increasing demands for police protection,and election of law-and-order politicians.When we asked viewers to estimate their own chances of being involved in some type of violence during any given week,they provide further evidence that television can induce fear and alertness: the heavy viewers were 33 percent more likely than the light viewers to pick such fearful estimates as 50-50 or one in 10, instead of a more plausible one in 100.
We have found that violence on prime-time network TV cultivates exaggerated assumptions about the threat of danger in the real world. Fear is a universal emotion, and naturally, easy to exploit by the media.The exaggerated sense of risk and insecurity may lead to increasing demands for protection, and to increasing pressure for the use of force by established authority. Therefore, instead of stimulating individual aggressive behavior and threatening the social order, television may have become our chief instrument of social control and stability.

(Woman) Yes, that's right. When is next train to Newcastle, please?
(Man) At half past eleven. That's in about a minute.
(Woman) Thank you very much. Oh! Can I get something to eat on the train? I always have something to eat when I travel. I find that a cup of tea and a sandwich always help my nerves.
(Man) Yes, madam. There's a buffet car on the train.
(Woman) Oh, good! Er…how much does a cup of tea cost?
(Man) I'm not sure, madam. Half a pound, I think.
(Woman) You mean fifty pennies! Oh dear! Things are getting so expensive!

(Woman) Thank you. Oh!Which platform does it leave from?

(Woman) platform 13! Oh, dear! I never travel on trains that leave from platform 13! 13's an unlucky number. When is the next train after the 11:30?

(Woman) Geographically speaking, Britain is by no means a big country. From north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles,or four hundred and eighty kilometers, across. But small as it is, Britain has a surprising range of climates. People who have never visited this country, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is clod and wet in Britain. Have you ever heard of a typical Englishman wearing a bowler hat and carrying an umbrella all the time? His image is well known all over the world. You may assume that this is because he lives in a cold and rainy country. Well, except for the summer months of June to September this is a probably true of the north of Britain and the Midlands. In the south, however, the weather is much more pleasant. As a result, when people retire from a job in the north, they often prefer no move down to the warmer and milder south.
Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, namely, the counties of Devon and Cornwall. Every year, the warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and brings a quite warm and mild climate to the coastal regions of the southwest. In this part of the country grows semi-tropical plants such as bamboo and palm trees. Flowers and vegetables ripen as a month earlier than those elsewhere. In winter, while there may be several feet of snow in other parts of Britain, there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. That is why the southwestern counties remain to be Britain's most popular holiday areas all the year round.
Question No.15. According to the talk, which is the best season for people in the north of Britain to enjoy mild and pleasant climates?
Question No.16. What is the approximate distance from the north coastal lines of Britain to the south coastal lines?
Question No.17. Which of the following best describes the weather conditions in Britain?
Question No.18. Why are Devon and Cornwall popular holiday areas all the year round?
Question 19 to 22 are based on the following conversation.
(Woman) John, do you think we make too much use of tinned and frozen food in Britain? The supermarkets here are full of them, aren't they? Perhaps that is why our food is not very tasty, as you may have found out already.
(Man) But frozen foods are convenient and handy, aren't they? Just think of all the tedious work we have to do in the kitchen if it weren t for the frozen foods and the like.
(Woman) Yes, that's true! But you spend much more time cooking and preparing meals in your country than we do in Britain, don't you?
(Man) Yes, I suppose we do. You make less fuss about food than we do. In my own country,we have two big meals a day, that is, lunch and dinner, and we spend a lot of time preparing them.Here in Britain,you have only one big meal a day,apart from breakfast and lunch snack, and you spend much less time preparing it.
(Woman) Yes, but we rejust as fond of good and delicious food as you are.
(Man) Well, you certainly don't show it !
(Woman) We do fuss about our meals sometimes, and remember, we like to eat out on special occasions,such as weekend evenings, birthday,parties and other celebrations. London is full of foreign restaurants where you can get all the exotic dishes of the world.You must come out with us one evening, John.
(Man) Thank you very much,I'd love to. And that's what I like about London. There's always so much to see and do. I think I have made a wise decision when I chose to live and study in London.
Question No.19. According to John, what is true about the British people?
Question No.20. Which of the following is the only big meal for the British people?
Question No.21. According to the conversation, what do the British people like to do on special occasions?
Question No.22. Why do the man and the woman prefer toe live in London?
Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following talk.
(Man)The first TV dinners came out in the United States in the 1950s,and they were immediately regarded as a major advance in the invention of “social convenience.” However, there are those people who believe that the introduction of TV dinners has weakened the ties of the American family.This was brought about by the change in that long-standing tradition of family life—the evening meal.
Before television became popular with the average American family, the typical American dinner would involve almost all th4e family members. The dinner would take part in three stages: the preparation stage, the eating stage and the clean-up stage. In the preparation stage, the children often helped with setting the table while the mother cooked the meal. In the eating stage, the family members,old and young,would talk about their day's activities as they ate. As noon as the evening meal was over, the children were again involved in the cleaning-up stage, so that, as in the first two stages, their importance within the family was clear.
After the arrival of television, the eating stage began to change. Family members could now eat and watch television at the same time. As a result, they stopped talking to each other. It was the TV dinner, however, that killed off the preparation and the clean-up stages. Before long, all people had to do was use a fork, since the TV dinner could go from the oven to the lap, and from the lap to the rubbish bin with great ease.
By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner wasjust 20 minutes long. Of course, the pace of modern life has increased, and this has affected the time we spent over dinner. But the introduction of a meal that could be eaten between the start and finish of a 30-minute television programmed has also contributed to this change of our family life.
Question No.23. According to the talk, what is a TV dinner?
Question No.24. Compared with the traditional American dinner, what stages are not included in the modern TV dinner?
Question No.25. What did American Children use to do in the preparation stage of the evening meal?
Question No.26. According to the talk, how long will a typical American dinner last in the1980s?
Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following conversation.
