W ： What are the things you have to do and the things you don't have to do?

Conversation Two
W： (13) Now you've seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?
M： Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don't quite understand the column entitled Change. Can you explain what it means?
W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.
M： Oh, yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.
W： Yes. (14) Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?
M： I am sorry I've no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.
W： Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were a lot better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That's strange, isn't it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.
M： Yes, I don't understand that at all.
W： Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?
M： I don't know. I think HI probably give them two pounds a week.
W： Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?
M： (15) Well, out of that they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn't expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.
W： Yes. By the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?
M： Yeah, they do.
Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
13.What is the table of figures about?
14.What do we learn from the conversation about British children's pocket money?
15.Supposing the man had children, what would lie expect them to do with their pocket money?
Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear3 shortpassages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Boththe passage and thequestions will be spoken only once. After you hear aquestion, you must choose the best answerfrom the four choices marked A), B),C), and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 1with a singleline through the centre.
Passage One
(16) As the new sales director for a national computer firm，Alex Gordon was looking forwardto his first meeting with the company's district managers. Everyone arrived on time, and Alex'spresentation went extremely well. (17) He decided to end the meeting with theconversation about the importance of the district managers to the company's plans. "Ibelieve we are going to continue to increase our share of the market,"he began, "because of thequality of the people in this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the salesrepresentatives in his district. He sets the term for everyone else. If he has ambitious goalsand is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example."(19) When Alexhas finished, he received polite applause, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior manager. "Things were going so well until theend"，Alex said disappointedly. "Obviously, I said the wrong thing.""Yes," the district managerreplied. (18) "Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from salesrepresentatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company's growth. (19) They don't care at all about political correctness. But they were definitely surprised anddistressed to be referred to as 'he' in your speech."
16.Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting?
17.What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his presentation?
18.What do we learn about the audience at the meeting?
19.Why did Alex fail to receive the warm response he had hoped for?
Passage Two
The way to complain is to act business-like and important. (20) If your complaint isimmediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm requestto see the manager. When the manager comes, ask his or her name. And then state yourproblem and what you expect to have done about it. Be polite! Shouting or acting rude will getyou nowhere. But also be firm in making your complaint. Besides, act important. This doesn'tmean to put on airs and say "do you know who I am?" What it means is that people are oftentreated the way they expect to be treated. If you act like someone who expects a fair requestto be granted, chances are it will be granted. (21) The worst way to complain is over thetelephone- You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you cannot see. So you can't tellhow the person on the line is reacting. It is easy for that person to give you the run-around. Complaining in person or by letter is generally more effective. If your complaint does notrequire an immediateresponse, it often helps to complain by letter. If youhave an appliancethat doesn't work, send a letter to the store that sold it. (22) Be business-like and stick to thepoint. Don't spend a paragraph on how your uncle John tried to fix the problem and couldn't.
20.What does the speaker suggest you do when you are not served properly at a restaurant?
21.Why does the speaker say the worst way to complain is over the telephone?
22.What should you do if you make a complaint by letter?

She's been offered an excellentjob with the government her husband feels it's unnecessary for her to work since the familydoes not need the added income. He also thinks that a woman should stay home with herchildren. (24) If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she shoulddo volunteer work one or two days a week. Barbara, on the other hand, has missed theexcitement of her profession and does not fed she would be satisfied doing volunteer work. Shewould also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for moneywhenever she wants to buy something. She does not think it's necessary to stay home everyday with the childrenand she knows a very reliable baby-sitter who's willing to come to herhouse. (25) Tom does not think a baby-sitter can replace a mother and thinks it's a bad ideafor the children to spend so much time with someone who's not part of the family.

Section C
Directions: In this section, you will heara passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you shouldlisten carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the secondtime, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have justheard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should checkwhat you have written.
Now listen to the passage.
Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter, more curious, less afraid of what he doesn't know, better at finding andfiguring things out ，more confident, resourceful (机敏的)， persistent and independent than he will ever be again in his schooling-or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life. Already, by paying close attention to and interacting with the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated andabstract than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the mystery of language. He has discovered it-babies don't even know that language exists-and he has found out how it works and learnt to use it appropriate . He hasdone it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, bytrying it out and seeing whether it works by gradually changing it andrefining it until it does work. And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of theconcepts that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.
