短对话：

11. W:

 I forgot to tell you that Fred called last nightto borrow your sleeping bag.

M:

 Oh, I saw him at thegym this morning, but hedidn’t say anything. So he must have askedsomebody else.

Q:

 What does the man imply?

12. W:

 These summer days are getting to be morethan I can take. It was even too hot to go to the pool yesterday.

M:

 Hang in there. According to the weather report we should have some relief by the end ofthe week.

Q:

 What does the man mean?

13. W:

 Well, tonight we have Professor Brown in our studio to talk about the famous oilpainting of Queen Victoria. Good evening, professor.

M:

 Good evening, madam, my pleasure to be here tonight.

Q:

 What is the woman doing?

14. M:

 The plants next to the window always look brown. You wouldn’t know by looking at themthat I water them every week.

W:

 Maybe they don’t like direct sunlight. I had the same problem with some of my plants. And alittle shade helps them immensely.

Q:

 What does the woman imply?

15. M:

 I’m really exhausted, Mary. But I don’t want to miss the Hollywood movie that comes onat 11.

　　W:

 If I were you, I’d skip it. We both have to get up early tomorrow. And anyway I’veheard it’s not as exciting as advertised.

　　Q:

 What does the woman suggest the man do?

16. M:

 Those modern sculptures over there are really weird. Don’t you think so?

　　W：

Well, I couldn’t stand them either at first. But now I’ve come to like modern art,particularly those sculptures carved by Italian artists.

　　Q:

 What does the woman mean?

17. M:

 I’m really glad our club decided to raise money for the children’s hospital. And most ofthe people we phoned seemed happy to contribute.

　　W:

 Yeah!

 I agree. Now that we’ve gone through all the numbers on our list, I guess we cancall it a day.

　　Q:

 What do we learn about the speakers?

18. M:

 Have you heard of Professor Smith?

 I’m thinking of taking an advanced engineeringcourse with him. What do you think?

　　W:

 Yeah!

 You really should. He’s published dozens of books so far, once beenrecommended as a textbook for postgraduates.

　　Q:

 What does the woman imply?

长对话：

Long conversation one

W:

 You’re the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover?

M:

 Well, there are essentially domestic stories. We don’t cover international stories. We don’tcover party politics or economics. We do issues of general social concern to our Britishaudience. They can be anything from the future of the health service to the way theenvironment is going downhill.

W:

 How do you choose the topic?

 Do you choose one because it’s what the public wants toknow about or because it’s what you feel the public ought to know about?

M:

 I think it’s a mixture of both. Sometimes you have a strong feeling that something isimportant and you want to see it examined and you want to contribute to a public debate.Sometimes people come to you with things they are worried about and they can be quite smallthings. They can be a story about corruption in local government, something they cannotquite understand, why it doesn’t seem to be working out properly, like they are not havingtheir litter collected properly or the dustbins emptied.

W:

 How do you know that you’ve got a really successful program?

 One that is just right for thetime?

M:

 I think you get a sense about it after working in it in a number of years. You know whichstories are going to get the attention. They are going to be published just the point when thepublic are concerned about that.

Q19-21

19. What kind of topics does Public Eye cover?

20. How does Public Eye choose its topics?

21. What factor plays an important role in running a successful program?

Long conversation Two

W:

 Hi, Professor Smith. I hear you’ve written a book titled Visions.

M:

 Yes. It explains how science will revolutionize the 21st century.

W:

 Could I ask you some questions concerning the book?

M:

 Sure.

W:

 Are you optimistic about the future?

M:

 Generally, yeah. If we go back to the year of 1900, most Americans didn’t live beyond theage of 50. Since then, we’ve had improvements in health care and technology. There is noreason why these won’t continue far into the 21st century.

W:

 Are we ready for the changes that will come?

M:

 Changes are already happening. The future is here now. We have DNA, microchips, theinternet. Some people’s reaction is to say, we are too old; we don’t understand newtechnology. My reaction is to say, we must educate people to use new technology now.

W:

 Is world population going to be a big problem?

M:

 Yes, and no. I think that world population will stop increasing as we all get richer. If you area part of the middle class, you don’t want or need 12 children.

W:

 Will there be a world government?

M:

 Very probably. We will have to manage the world and its resources on a global level becausecountries alone are too small.

W:

 Will we have control of everything?

M:

I think we’ll learn to control the weather, volcanoes and earthquakes. Illness won’t exist.We’ll grow new livers, kidneys, hearts, and lungs like spare parts for a car. People will live toabout 130 or 150. For 2000 years, we have tried to understand our environment. Now we’llbegin to control it.

Q22-25 are based on the conversation you just heard.

22. What does Professor Smith say about most Americans around the year of 1900?

23. What does Professor Smith advice we do?

24. When will the world population stop growing according to Professor Smith?

25. What does Professor Smith think human beings will be able to do?
