Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The big screen is never short of films about World WarⅡ. When Nazi Germany is featured in these films, cruel Nazi officers and brutal concentration（集中营） camps most often represent it. But the new Hollywood movie Valkyrie tells a different story, “a chapter of German history which is little known abroad”, according to the German Cultural Minister Bernd Neumann.
Valkyrie is based on a true incident that took place in 1944. Colonel(陆军上校) Stauffenberg had been a loyal soldier for his entire military career. However, after losing an eye, a hand, and three fingers in an Allied bombing, he reached breaking point. The destruction that his country had brought to its European neighbors had become too terrible for the colonel to bear in silence. He hoped that someone would find a way to stop Adolf Hitler, one of the most evil tyrants（暴君） the world has ever known. Realizing that time was running out, he decided that he must take action himself and joined the German resistance. These men drew up Operation Valkyrie, a plot to assassinate(刺杀) Hitler and to overthrow his Nazi government from the inside. This plot is what the film is named after and focuses on.
The Hollywood star Tom Cruise plays the lead role. “This was a very challenging film to make. We carried a huge responsibility to correctly portray history,” Cruise said.
However, the production has drawn criticism for lacking depth and for simplifying the motives behind the plot.
65. The passage tells us that Valkyrie is _____.
A.      a story written by Bernd Neuman
B.      a chapter in a German history book
C.      a movie about Nazi concentration camps
D.     a movie about a plan to assassinate Hitler
66. What does the sentence “he reached breaking point” probably mean?
A. He narrowly escaped being killed.
B. He couldn’t reach out his arm for anything.
C. He was rewarded for his brave attempts.
D. He decided to make a historic change in life.
67. Why did Tom Cruise say the film was challenging for him?
A. Because he never acted in such kind of film before.
B. Because he knew little about this episode of history.
C. Because he felt it a heavy task to present the real history.
D. Because he was afraid that the film might draw criticism.
68. The following passage will probably talk about _____.
A.     the reason why the film is named after Valkyrie
B.      the comments from the movie critics on Valkyrie
C.      the praises from audience after watching Valkyrie
D.     the importance of the role Cruise plays in Valkyrie
(B)
New Zealand Education
¨       Compulsory Education
Compulsory education starts at age 5 and ends at age 16. The day children turn 5, they are expected to start school. They can leave school as soon as they reach 16.
¨       Class Size
The maximum number of students in a class is 30 students.
¨       Classrooms
Students from year 0—8 stay in the same classroom for most subjects and move to other classrooms only for specific subjects. Even when they move from one classroom to another, they mostly stay together as a class. In year 9, students take some courses with their homeroom class and some optional classes with students from different classes. Starting from year 10, students no longer stay in the same classroom most of the time nor do they move around with their classes. They go to different classes based on their own choice and abilities.
¨       Term Dates
A school year starts in January and ends in December. There are four terms in a year. Each term is about 10 weeks.
¨       Class Schedule
School starts at around 8:30 and ends at 15:15. There are only five periods a day and a period is about an hour long. In the morning, around 10:30, there will be a 20—30 minute interval when students and staff have morning tea. Students usually have some snacks during this time, and staff gathers in the staff room to drink coffee and eat some snacks. There is a lunch period at around 12:40 for about an hour.
¨       Teachers
In New Zealand, teachers have to teach students of different year level at the same time. Most teachers teach students from at least three to four different year levels. In addition, quite a number of teachers teach more than one subject. This is mainly due to the fact that many courses are optional.
69. This passage is most probably taken from _____.

( C )
Winter is a great time to experiment with new sports. The key is to find one that matches your interests and natural abilities. If you like to walk, keep walking — on snowshoes. If you want to try an endurance sport, go for cross-country skiing. Besides, snowboarding is just great fun.
Not satisfied with these? Try downhill skiing, then. Downhill skiing is not as hard as it used to be — shorter, lightweight, curved skis make any beginner feel like an Olympic winner. These newer skis — along with another type of equipment called skiboards, which are even shorter than skis — help you control your speed and body movements.
Consider testing the latest high-tech skis or snowboards？Check with your local sports shops or the rental places at the ski mountains about sample programs.
You could also try sledding. Use a wood-framed sled with steel runners or a plastic sled to head down a snowy hill. If you prefer ice to snow, think hockey or figure skating.
Runners can also train during the winter in spite of wet or slippery roads. One of the easiest sports around, snowshoeing can be excellent cold-weather cross-training for runners and cyclists — or anyone wanting to take a wintry walk in the woods. Snowshoes are smaller, lighter, and better than ever. If you want to try them out, you may be able to rent a pair for a day at many of the larger outdoor or sporting goods stores.
Whatever sport you choose, don’t rely on a friend for instruction. You wouldn’t let an inexperienced doctor perform a brain operation on you, but why let one teach you to ski or skate? That’s what instructors are for — to help newcomers start out right. Instructors can give you advice about equipment, techniques, safety, and dealing with injuries if they do happen to you.
Above all, if you want to progress, invest your time in learning the basic skills thoroughly. Everything else you do as a skier, boarder, or skater will be built on these first skills.
72.   How many different types of sports are mentioned in the first two paragraphs?
A. Six.                   B. Five.                    C. Four.                    D. Three.
73.   What can we learn from the passage?
A. Runners and cyclists cannot train because of the wet or slippery roads in winter.
B. Downhill skiing used to be more difficult to learn because of the old-fashioned skis.
C. People can rent snowshoes for a day at their local sports shops or the rental places.
D. In general, first skills are more important in skiing than in snowboarding or skating.
74.   What does the sentence “You wouldn’t let an inexperienced doctor perform a brain operation on you, but why let one teach you to ski or skate?” imply?
A. Don’t let an inexperienced doctor perform an operation on you when injured.
B. You may have a brain operation if you ski or skate with a newcomer.
C. Instructors can give better advice on skiing and skating than your friends do.
D. It’s dangerous to have an inexpert person teach you to ski or skate.
75.   Who are the most likely readers of the passage?
A. High school students.                         B. Physical educators.
C. Winter sports lovers.                          D. Professional athletes.
(D)
As I was thinking about language learning the other day, the image of baking bread came into my mind. I compared some of the exercises and drills that we put ourselves through in order to learn a language to the various ingredients(原料) that go into baking a loaf of fresh bread.
Real language learning takes place in human relationships. No one sits down and eats a cup of flour, even if he is hungry and in a hurry. You don’t become bilingual(双语的) by learning lists of vocabulary. You don’t become a speaker of a language by memorizing verb conjugations (动词的变化) and agreement rules. You become bilingual by entering a community that uses that other language as its primary means of communication.
I am not suggesting that we can make bread without ingredients. Flour is necessary, as are yeast（酵母）, salt, water and other ingredients. Vocabulary is part of any language and will have to be learned. Grammatical rules exist in every language and cannot be ignored. But merely combining the appropriate ingredients in the recommended proportions does not result in bread. At best, you only end up with a ball of dough(面团).
In order to get bread, you have to apply heat to the dough. And in language learning, that heat comes from the community. Anyone who has learned a second language has experienced that heat. It creeps up your neck when you ask the babysitter, “Have you already been eaten?” when you meant to say, “Have you already eaten?” When you try to say something quite innocent and the whole room bursts into laughter, you are experiencing the heat that turns raw dough into good bread.
Remember the old saying, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”? This is where language learning often breaks down because we find the heat uncomfortable and we stop the baking process. In order words, we can’t stand the heat, so we get out of the kitchen.
However, the language learner who stays in the kitchen—in the heat—until the combined ingredients are thoroughly transformed will enjoy the richness of a quality loaf of bread. He is lad that he did not “get out of the kitchen” at the critical moment when the oven seemed too hot. The dedicated language learner knows that becoming bilingual cannot be achieved without the heat!
76. The passage is mainly about _____.
A.     how we can make baking bread with various ingredients
B.      how to become bilingual by communicating with others
C.      what an important role “heat” plays in learning a language
D.     what a high quality of bread you may achieve in the kitchen
77. You can become a speaker of a language by _____.
A. bearing millions of words and expressions in your mind
B. using the language to communicate with those around you
C. knowing verb conjugations and grammatical rules
D. saying something innocent to be laughed at by others
78. What’s the purpose of illustration of the example—you ask the babysitter, “Have you already been eaten?” when you meant to say, “Have you already eaten?”?
A. To verify that you are sure to make some mistakes when you enter a community.
B. To show that you should combine the ingredients in the recommended proportions.
C. To prove that you may experience “heat” from the community in language learning.
D. To indicate that being bilingual calls for your courage, confidence and perseverance.
79. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the necessity of baking bread and learning language?
A.     Excellent Skills.
B.      Various ingredients.
C.      Appropriate proportions.
D.     Uncomfortable heat.
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. The secret of the writer’s success
B. A writer with enduring popularity
C. Well-received creation to encourage Brits
D. The insight into human nature
E. Writing styles in different stages
F. The stories appropriate for school students
80.
Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of England’s greatest writers. Yet for many his language is old-fashioned and his story plots often improbable. Why, Dickens, out of so many other great English writers, has made the list? How then to explain Dickens’s enduring popularity?
81.
One reason undoubtedly is the British government’s insistence that every child studies a Dickens novel at school. Alongside William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens is a compulsory(必读的) writer on every English literature school reading list. His stories, though often over-long by today’s standard, are superbly written moral tales. They are filled with colorful characters.
82.
But what makes his books stand out from other English writers is his insight into human nature. Dickens, like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behavior that are as true to citizens of the 21st century as they were to his readers in the 19th century. Readers have returned to Dickens’s books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about readers’ own time.
83.
The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect story to illustrate the bad times. No surprise then that it was Dickens Britons turned to, during the economic crisis last year, to make sense of a world rapidly falling apart.
84.
Readers of the 19th and early 20th century usually prized Dickens’s earlier novels for their humor and pathos. While recognizing the virtues of these books, critics today tend to rank more highly the later works because of their formal coherence and acute perception of the human condition. For as long as Dickens’s novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britain’s best loved writers.

Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1. W: Here’s 15 dollars. Give me three tickets for tonight’s show please.
M: Sure. Three tickets and here is $1.50 change.
Q: How much does one ticket cost?
2. M: Hello. This is Tom Davis, I have an appointment with Mrs. Jones for 9 o’clock, but I’m afraid I’ll have to be about fifteen minutes late.
W: That’s all right, Mr. Davis. She doesn’t have another appointment until 10 o’clock.
Q: When will Mrs. Jones most probably meet Mr. Davis?
3. M: Do you have any books on running?

4. M: I can’t stand living in this place anymore.
W: Well, why don’t you move then?
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
5. M: What do you think I should name this kitten I found?
W: If I were you I’d find it a new home; you know the dorm rules.
Q: What does the woman mean?
6. W: How long will it take this package to get to Shanghai?

Q: What does the woman imply about Frank?
10. M: Did you see the notice from the landlord?
W: Yes, and I could hardly believe my eyes!
Q: What does the woman say about the notice?
Section  B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Next time you visit the Chimpanzees at your local zoo, be careful! It has been discovered that chimpanzees can plan attacks. A male chimpanzee in a Swedish zoo planned hundreds of stone-throwing attacks at visitors.
Keepers at the zoo found that their 31-year-old chimp, Santino, was calmly collecting rocks each morning that he would later throw at zoo visitors in anger. This has proven that apes can plan ahead just like humans, a Swedish study said on March 9.
What has surprised researchers most about Santino’s behavior is that he was collecting stones in the morning knowing that he would want to use them later when he was angry.
He is the first animal researchers have recorded anticipating a future mental state. It is an ability that has been difficult to prove in animals, according to a scientist from Lund University in Sweden and author of the research.
Questions:
11. What is the passage mainly about?
12. Where did the stone-throwing attacks from Santino happen?
13. Why are the researchers surprised at the news?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following news.
The US military has announced that 12,000 American and 4,000 British troops will leave Iraq by September. General David Perkins says that will reduce US combat power from 14 brigades to 12 brigades. He also said that the US is turning over more facilities to the Iraqi military as part of the pullout. There are currently about 135,000 US troops in Iraq.
Star hurdler Liu Xiang, 25, has returned to Shanghai to train and plan his comeback, after spending three months in the US recovering from foot surgery. When Liu returns to competing will depend on how he recovers.
China’s coastal cities are handing out tourism coupons worth tens of millions of dollars. The local governments hope to urge people to spend during the economic slowdown. The coupons can be used for package tours at travel agencies or as tickets to certain scenic spots. Some economists believe coupons are effective tools to boost demand during a slow economy. But some economists said coupons can only be effective for a short time.
Questions:
14. How many US troops are there in Iraq now?
15. What’s the purpose of the use of tourism coupons issued by some coastal cities in China?
16. Which of the statement is NOT true according to the news?
Section  C
Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard.  Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Uh, what does it say I should do next?
M: Excuse me. Do you need some help?
W: Well…yeah…I guess so. I’m trying to get to the university, but I’m afraid I can’t make heads or tails of this ticket machine.
M: Just push the green button that says “University” and put in two dollars and seventy-five cents.
W: Okay. Like this?
M: Yes, that’ right. The train you want will leave from platform 2 at 9:15, which is half an hour from now.
W: Thank you. Oh, and could you tell me how often the trains come?
M: They come every fifty minutes in the evening.
W: Okay. And do you know which station I should get off at?
M: University Avenue; that’s five stops from here.
W: Okay, I think I’ve got it. Thanks again.
M: Sure. Good luck.
Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.
W: Oh, I’m on my way home from work.
M: I didn’t know you had a job.
W: Yeah, I work part-time at a supermarket.
M: What do you do there?
W: I work in the produce section, wrapping fresh fruit and vegetables. I also put goods on shelves. Sometimes when it really gets busy, I work at the check-out counter. Have you got a job, Phil?
M: Yeah, I do garden work for people. You know, cutting grass, watering, raking leaves, pulling weeds, things like that.
W: I’d like to do that. It must be nice to work outdoors.
M: Sometimes it is, except when it rains or snows or gets too hot or too cold or…
W: Ha, ha, I guess every job has its drawbacks. There are times when I get pretty tired of carrying things around at my job. But a job is a job. You’ve got to earn money for school.
M: Me too. Tuition sure is high, isn’t it? Well, I’d better get going. I’ve got to plant some trees for my neighbors this afternoon.
W: Well, don’t work too hard. Take it easy!
M: You too. It was great seeing you, Linda. Bye!

II.
With more and more Olympic champions entering universities to study, many people think that it seems unfair that they are admitted to universities as exceptions. But I hold the different opinion.
First, Olympic champions are special talents, who contributed so much to our country, so their being admitted exceptionally into universities is reasonable. What’s more, if more champions are admitted to more key universities, it will bring benefits in many aspects for them. They will improve their education levels or expand their choices after retirement. This may also help develop sports and related industries. In addition, considering the positive potential effects of the champions on the campus, the level of a university will by no means decrease. The other students won’t be affected as many people may fear. Instead, others can learn a lot from these champions, such as positive attitudes and devoted spirits.
As is mentioned above, I don’t think it may be a problem for Olympic champions to enter key universities as exceptions.
