【录音原文】
(Text 1)
M: Who will join us for dinner tonight?
W: Bob and Candy. I also invited Mary, but she is out of town.
M: What a pity! I was hoping she would come.
(Text 2)
M: If I were you, I’d just walk to work. It would take you about 20 minutes. Riding a bike is a
good choice, too.
W: I agree. But this week my husband is away on business, so I have to drive my kids to
school before I go to work, and I’m pressed for time, you know.
(Text 3)
W: It’s 8:30, Dave, and you’re going to be late for the meeting.
M: Oh, my! I just have half an hour left. I can’t believe I slept for 10 hours.
(Text 4)
M: Hi, Helen. Where are you off to?
W: To the library. I’ve got a history paper due next week, and need to do some reading.
(Text 5)
W: Thank goodness! You’re still here.
M: What’s up?
W: I need your signature for this document. It’s urgent.
(Text 6)
W: Are you all alone, Tom? Why not ask Mike to help you collect money for the Children’s
Centre?
M: Well, he is working on his lab report. Could you come?W: I’d love to, but I won’t be available until next week. 7I think Cathy will have some free
time this week. Do you want me to pass on a message?
M: That’d be nice. Thanks, Jane.
(Text 7)
W: Are you leaving for the railway station now, Jack? It’s so early.
M: Just avoiding the rush hour traffic. I don’t want to be late.
W: So you have to wait for about two hours? I don’t think there’s scenery to look at.
M: Don’t worry! I’ll take a book with me.
W: It’s too noisy to read in the railway station. I would usually look around the shops while
waiting for the train.
M: But I’ve already got all the gifts for my parents and sisters. I don’t need to buy anything.
If I really can’t focus on the book, I may phone up some friends I haven’t talked to in a
while.
W: That’s a nice idea. Betty told me last time that she often spends the waiting time writing
a to-do list so that she’d not miss anything in the days to come.
M: That’s an awesome idea. I’ll surely do that. Thank you, Judy. See you next year.
W: Bye!
(Text 8)
W: Hi, Bill. You look troubled. What’s the matter?
M: Hi, Grace. I have a big decision to make. My uncle offered me a job as the lead engineer
at a service station and with good pay.
W: That’s wonderful, but are you going to quit college?
M: That’s exactly the problem. One side of me says, “Oh, go ahead! You can go back to
college anytime. What job could you get after college that would pay you $15 an hour?
That’s $30,000 a year!”
W: And then?
M: And then, the other side says, “Hold it, not so fast! For all those years you were in the
army, you planned to go to college so that you would have many job possibilities to choose
from. You’ve planned your whole life around going to college. And now ...”
W: I can see it. It’s true that with your experience in the army, you could do excellent work
repairing cars if you accept the job. But you are doing very well now. Just think of the future.
You will get better jobs.(Text 9)
W: Hey, John, can I talk to you for a minute?
M: Sure, what’s up?
W: I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a few months ago. I know you do a
lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.
M: Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?
W: Usually the last Saturday of the month at 7:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?
M: No, I think that’s OK. What do you talk about in the group?
W: Well, every month we choose a new book, and then during the next meeting, we
discuss it.
M: What books have you read?
W: Quite a lot. Recently we have read The Beautiful Mind and The Great Gatsby. Now
we’re reading The Kite Runner.
M: The Kite Runner? I’ve heard that’s a good book. What’s it about?
W: It’s about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1980s.
M: That sounds interesting. I’d love to come.
W: Great! The next meeting will be held in two weeks, so you still have time to read the
book.
(Text 10)
W: Today, let’s begin with note-taking techniques. Note-taking is an important skill not only
for taking classes, but also for doing your job in the future. I’d like to draw your attention to
certain points about taking notes. First, remember that note-taking should be 75% listening
and only 25% writing. So don’t try to write down every single word the teacher says. Ignore
what is unimportant and write in phrases not complete sentences. Second, leave spaces
and lines between main ideas. You may want to add some information later. I find that
some of you are good at making use of color, mapping web and symbols such as arrows,
circles and boxes. I highly recommend these tools to all of you, because the use of them
makes the outline more easily readable and interesting than the blocks of text. It also
makes sure that important words stand out. Here are some examples ...

Theend of the school year was in sight and spirits were high. I was back teachingafter
an absence of 15 years, dealing with the various kinds of “forbiddenfruit” that come out
of book bags. Now was the spring of the water pistol.
Idecided to think up a method of dealing with forbidden fruit.
“Pleasebring that pistol to me,” I said. “I’m going to put it in my Grandma’s Box.”
“What’sthat?” they asked.
“It’sa large wooden chest full of toys for my grandchildren,” I replied,
“Youdon’t have grandchildren,” someone said.
“Idon’t now.” I replied. “But someday I will. When I do, my box will be full ofwonderful
things for them.”
Myimaginary Grandma’s Box worked like magic that spring, and later.
Sometimes.students would ask me to describe all the things I had in it. Then I would tryto
remember the different possessions I supposedly had taken away—since Iseldom actually
kept them. Usually the offender would appear at the endof the day, and I would return
the belonging.
The-yearswent by, and my first grandchild Gordon was born. I shared my joy with that
year’sclass. Then someone said, “Now you can use your Grandma’s Box.” From then
oninstead of coming to ask their possessions back, the students would say, “That’sokay.
Put it in your Grandma’s Box for Gordon.”
Iloved talking about the imaginary box, not only with my students but also withmy
own children. They enjoyed hearing about all the forbidden fruit I hadcollected. Then oneChristmas I received a surprise gift — a large, beautifullymade wooden chest. My son
Bruce had made my Grandma’s Box a reality.
4. What was the author’s purpose in having theconversation with the students?
A. To collect the waterpistol.
B. To talk about her grandchildren.
C. To recommend some toys.
D.To explain her teaching method.
5. What do the underlined words “the offender” inparagraph 8 refer to?
A Thestudent’s parent.
B. The maker of the Grandma’s Box.
C. The author’s grandchild.
D.The owner of the forbidden fruit.
6. What did the students do after they learnedabout the birth of Gordon?
A. They went to play withthe baby.
B. They asked to see the Grandma’s Box.
C. They made a present forGordon.
D. They stopped asking their toys back.
7. What can we infer about the author?
A. She enjoys tellingjokes.
B. She is a strict and smart teacher.
C. She loves doing woodwork.
D.She is a responsible grandmother
B篇[语篇导读]这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲叙了作者为了收集学生们带到学校的玩具，想出了一个
“奶奶的盒子”的办法。到后来，作者的第一个孙子出生，学生们也不再来要求归还他们的财物了，
作者也在某一年圣诞节收到了儿子制作的大木箱，将“奶奶的盒子”变成了现实。
4. A。动作倾向题。根据第一段中 I was back teaching after an absence of 15 years, dealing
with thevarious kinds of “forbidden fruit” that come out of book bags. Now was thespring
of the water pistol（在缺席了15年之后，我又回到了教书的地方，处理从书包里掏出的各种各样的
“禁果”。现在流行的是水枪）以及第三段中“Pleasebring that pistol to me,” I said. “I’m going
to put it in my Grandma’s Box.”（“请把那支水枪给我，”我说。”我要把它放在我奶奶的盒子
里。”）由此可知，作者与学生进行对话的目的是收集水枪。故选A项。
5. D。词句猜测题。根据划线词后文I would return the belonging结合上文提到作者把学生带到学
校的玩具称为“禁果”，且作者的“盒子”里装的就是“好禁果”，所以作者等到这些禁果的拥有者
在一天结束的时候出现，然后就会归还他们的物品。由此可知，划线词意思为“禁果的拥有者”。故
选D项。
6. D。直接信息题。根据倒数第二段中 From then on instead of coming to ask their
possessions back, thestudents would say, “That’s okay. Put it in your Grandma’s Box forGordon.”（从那时起，学生们不再来要求归还他们的财物，而是说：“没关系。把它放在你奶奶给戈
登的盒子”里），由此可知，学生们在得知了戈登的出生后，他们不再索要玩具。故选D项。
7. B。隐含意义推断题。根据文章中作者要收集学生们从书包里掏出的各种各样的“禁果”，说明作
者对待学生很严格；同时作者又想出了“奶奶的盒子”这个的方法来收集学生们的玩具，说明作者很
聪明，由此可推知，作者是一个严格而聪明的老师。故选B项。

InMay 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge wasclosed
to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizersexpected perhaps
50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as 800, 000 crowdedthe roads to the bridge.
By the time 250,000 were on the bridge, engineersnoticed something terrible：the
roadway was flattening under what turned outto be the heaviest load it had ever been
asked to carry. Worse, it wasbeginning to sway（晃动）. The authorities closed access to
the bridgeand tens of thousands of people made their way back to land. A disaster was
avoided.
Thestory is one of scores in To Forgive Design：Understanding Failure, abook that is
at once a love letter to engineering and a paean（赞歌）to its breakdowns. Its author, Dr.
Henry Petroski, has long beenwriting about disasters. In this book, he includes the loss of
the spaceshuttles（航天飞机）Challenger and Columbia, and the sinking of theTitanic.
Thoughhe acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who
thoughtthem up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr.
Petroskiwidens his view to consider the larger context in which such failures
occur.Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low
qualitymaterials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it isadopted
elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmless improvements, until,suddenly, it
does not work at all anymore.
Readerswill encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new
storiesand a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public andthe
ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them.
“Successis success but that is all that it is,” Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure thatbrings
improvement.
8. What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its50th birthday?
A. It carried more weight than it could.
B. It swayed violently in a strong wind
C Itsroadway was damaged by vehicles
D. Its access was blocked by many people.9. Which of the following is Dr. Petroski’s ideaaccording to paragraph 3?
A. No design is well received everywhere
B. Construction is more important than design.
C. Not all disasters are caused by engineeringdesign
D. Improvements on engineering works are necessary.
10. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Failure can lead toprogress.
B. Success results in overconfidence
C. Failure should beavoided.
D. Success comes from joint efforts.
11. What is the text?
A. A news report B.A short story.
C. A book review D.A research article.
C篇[语篇导读]这是一篇议论文。主要讲述了对彼得罗斯基博士的书《原谅设计：理解失败》的评论，
工程设计可能会因为某些原因带来失败，但失败了才能带来进步。
8. A。间接信息题。根据文章第一段 In May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday
party. Thebridge was closed to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across
it.Organizers expected perhaps 50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as 800,000
crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250,000 were on the bridge,engineers
noticed something terrible：the roadway was flatteningunder what turned out to be the
heaviest load it had ever been asked to carry.Worse, it was beginning to sway 可以看出，
1987年5月，金门大桥举行了一个50岁生日聚会。这座桥禁止机动车通行，人们可以在桥上散步。
组织者预计将有5万人到场。结果，多达80万人挤满了通往大桥的道路。当25万人在桥上时，工程
师们注意到了一个可怕的现象：路面在被要求承载的最重荷载作用下变得平了。更糟的是，它开始晃
动。因此可以看出，金门大桥50岁生日那天，它的重量超过了它的承受能力。故选A项。
9. C。观点态度题。根据文章第三段Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail
because theperson who thought them up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in
thisbook Dr. Petroski widens his view to consider the larger context in which suchfailures
occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructedwith low quality
materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works sowell it is adopted
elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmlessimprovements, until, suddenly, it
does not work at all anymore可知，虽然他承认工程设计可能会因为那些想出或设计它们的人只是
把事情弄错了失败，但在这本书中，彼得罗斯基博士拓宽了他的视野，考虑了这种失败发生的更大背
景。有时，由于一个好的设计是用不合格的低质量材料建造的，所以装置会失败。或者，一个设计工
作得如此好，以至于在其他地方一次又一次地被采用，似乎是无害的改进，直到突然间，它完全不起
作用了。因此可以推测出，不是所有的灾难都是由工程设计引起的是彼得罗斯基博士的想法。故选 C
项。10. A。直接信息题。根据文章最后一段的 It is failure that brings improvement可知，失败才能
带来进步。因此可以看出，A项与此相呼应，即失败能带来进步，故选A项。
11. C。文章出处题。根据文章第二段 The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design：
UnderstandingFailure, a book that is at once a love letter to engineering and a paean（赞
歌）toits breakdowns可知，这个故事是《原谅设计：理解失败》一书中的一个，这本书既是对工程
的一封情书，也是对其崩溃的赞歌。并且后面两段都在写这本书里的内容以及评价，再根据倒数第二
段的Readers will encounter not only stories they haveheard before, but some new stories
and a moving discussion of theresponsibility of the engineer to the public and the ways
young engineers canbe helped to grasp them可知，读者不仅会遇到他们以前听过的故事，还
会遇到一些新的故事和关于工程师对公众的责任以及如何帮助年轻工程师掌握它们的动人讨论。再结
合最后一段It is failure that brings improvement可知，失败才能带来进步。因此可以推测出，这
些内容都是关于这本书的评论，因为这篇文章是书评，故选C项。

Rainforestsare home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals.
Canyou believe that a single bush（灌木丛）in the Amazon may have more species of ants
thanthe whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just onehectare of
rainforest.
Rainforestsare the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide
andproducing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen. Rainforests have their
ownperfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层）
of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants,and the forest animals
from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun andstrong winds.
Amazingly,the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although
closetogether, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this isthe
plants’ way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life moredifficult for
leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest,animals must climb, jump or
fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forestis not all tangled leaves and bushes, like
in films, but is actually fairlyclear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and
other forestlife.
Theyare not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of theirown
rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas theremay be as much as
430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrellamay protect you in a shower,but it won’t keep you dry if there is a fullrainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten
to twenty feet. The humidity（湿气）of large rainforests contributes to the formation of
raincloudsthat may travel to other countries in need of rain.
12. What can we learn about rainforests from thefirst paragraph?
A. They produce oxygen.
B.They cover a vast area.
C. They are well managed.
D.They are rich in wildlife.
13. Which of the following contributes most to thesurvival of rainforests?
A. Heavy rains B.Big trees.
C. Small plants. D.Forest animals.
14. Why do the leaves and branches of differenttrees avoid touching each other?
A. For more sunlight. B.For more growing space.
C. For self-protection. D.For the detection of insects.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Life-Giving Rainforests B.The Law of the Jungle
C. Animals in the Amazon D.Weather in Rainforests
D篇[语篇导读]本文是说明文。热带雨林被称为“世界上最大的药房”，因为超过25%的现代药物是
由其植物提炼。热带雨林也享有“地球之肺”的美誉，其植物的光合作用净化地球空气，仅亚马逊热
带雨林产生的氧气就占全球氧气总量的1/3。
12. D。直接信息题。根据第一段 Rainforestsare home to a rich variety of medicinal plants,
food, birds and animals得知，热带雨林蕴藏了丰富多彩的药用植物、食物以及鸟禽猛兽。可知，
热带雨林有丰富的野生动物，故选D项。
13. B。直接信息题。根据第二段 Rainforestshave their own perfect system for ensuring their
own survival; the tall treesmake a canopy（树冠层）of branches and leaves which protect
themselves,smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from
thesun and strong winds得知，热带雨林有自己完美的生存体系，高大的树木有枝干，树叶的树冠
层保护树木本身、小植物、动物们免受大雨和太阳强风带来的干燥热浪的伤害。可知，大树有助于热
带雨林生存，故选B项。
14. C。间接信息题。根据第三段 Scientists think this is the plants’ way to prevent the
spreadof any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects
likecaterpillars得知，科学家们认为这是植物阻止任何树木疾病扩散和让比如毛毛虫这种食用树叶的
昆虫难以生存。可以判断出不同树木的树叶和树枝避免彼此触碰是为了自我保护，故选C项。

[语篇导读]这是一篇应用文，文章讲述了与医生谈话的几个小建议。
16. B。考查过渡句。根据文章第一段 Talking freely with your doctor can make you feel better
and givesyour doctor the information she or he needs to give you the best care. Don’t
beafraid or embarrassed to discuss something that is bothering you.可知，与你的医生畅所欲言可以让你感觉好些，并向你的医生提供她或他需要的信息，以便为你提供最好的护理。不要害怕
或尴尬地讨论困扰你的事情。再结合下文为几条具体的建议，所以选 B项（这里有一些与你的医生交
谈的小建议）为顺承关系。
17. E。考查细节句。根据空后teamwork!（团队合作）可知，选E项（记住，你的医生和其他护理人
员都站在你这边）。
18. D。考查主题句。根据标题（记录你的感受）及空后 This will make it easier for you to
answerquestions about your symptoms（症状）and how medicines make you feel. It also
makes iteasier for you to bring up anything that you are worried about. Make sure to
behonest about how you feel and how long you’ve felt that way可知，这将使你更容易回答
关于你的症状和药物让你感觉如何的问题。这也让你更容易提出你担心的任何事情。一定要诚实地说
出你的感受，以及你这种感觉持续了多久。由此可知，这都是在讲感受，故选D项（在你的医生来之
前，记下你的感受）。
19. F。考查标题句。根据文章 Yourmedical history is a list of your illnesses, treatments, what
the doctors toldyou to do, and anything else you think your doctor should know.可知，你
的病史是你的疾病，治疗，医生告诉你做什么，以及你认为你的医生应该知道的任何事情的清单。故
选F项（带上你的病史，包括你目前的药物清单）符合题意，相呼应，故F。
20. A。考查过渡句。根据空前 Donot be afraid to ask your doctor any questions you have.
To remember all thequestions you have when you are not in the doctor’s office, write
them down andbring the list with you to your appointment可知，不要害怕问你的医生你有的
任何问题。当你不在医生办公室时，为了记住你的所有问题，把它们写下来，并带着清单去你的预约。
以及 Remember—there’s no such thing as a stupidquestion. If you don’t understand the
answer to a question, ask the doctor toexplain it again until you do understand可知，记住
没有什么愚蠢的问题。如果你不明白问题的答案，请医生再解释一遍，直到你明白为止。因此中间缺
少过渡句，A选项（这将使获得答案更容易。）正好可以连接两句。
◎读后知识积累：bother/ˈbɒðə/ vt. 烦扰，打扰；caregiver/ˈkeəɡɪvər/ n. 照料者，护理者；看护者；

“I wish you could see him,” she saidto her own children, John, Harry, and
Clara. “ He is such a help to his mother.He wants very much to earn some
money, but I don’t see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room,the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I
wish we could help him to earnmoney,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so
much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We reallyshould do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing,but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet
and cried, “I have a great idea! I have asolution that we can all help accomplish
（完成）.”
The other children also jumped upall attention. When John had an idea, it
was sure to be a good one. “I’ll tellyou what we can do,” said John. “You know

better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of
Meredith's family, and he also did what he could to help those in need.
