短对话
1. W: Carol told us on the phone not to worry about her. Her left leg doesn’t hurt as much as it did yesterday.
M: She’d better have it examined by a doctor anyway. And I will call her about it this evening.
Q: What does the man think Carol should do?
2. M: There is a non-stop train for Washington and it leaves at 2:30.
　 W: It’s faster than the 2 o’clock train. Besides, we can have something to eat
before getting on the train.
　 Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
3. M: Hi, Melissa, how’s your project going? Have you thought about going to
graduate school?　Perhaps you can get into Harvard.
　 W: Everything is coming along really well. I have been thinking about graduate
school. But I’ll talk to my tutor Dr. Garcia first and see what she thinks.
　 Q: What do you learn about the woman from the conversation?
4. W: Did you attend Alice’s presentation last night? It was the first time for her to
give a speech to a large audience.
　 M: How she could be so calm in front of so many people is really beyond me!
　 Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
5. W: You’ve been doing weather reports for neatly 30 years. Has the weather got
any worse in all these years?
　 M: Well, not necessarily worse. But we are seeing more swings.
　 Q: What does the man say about the weather?
6. M: Excuse me, I am looking for the textbook by a Professor Jordon for the
marketing course.
　 W: I am afraid it’s out of stock. You’ll have to order it. And it will take the
publisher 3 weeks to send it to us.
　 Q: Where did this conversation most probably take place?
7. M: I am going to New York next week, but the hotel I booked is really expensive.
　 W: Why book a hotel? My brother has 2 spare rooms in his apartment.
　Q: What does the woman mean?
8. W: In my opinion, watching the news on TV is a good way to learn English. What
do you think?
　 M: It would be better if you could check the same information in English
newspapers afterwards.
　 Q: What does the man say about learning English?
9. M: I hear a newly-invented drug can make people tell the truth and it may prove
useful in questioning terrorists. Isn’t it incredible?
　 W: Simple solutions to complex problems rarely succeed. As far as I know, no
such drugs are ever known to work.
　 Q: What does the woman think of the new drug?
10. M: You know the electronics company is coming to our campus to recruit
graduate students next week.
　 W: Really? What day? I’d like to talk to them and hand in my resume.
　Q: What does the woman want to do?
完型填空8
Wise buying is a positive way in which you can make your money go further. The way you go about purchasing an article or a service can actually save you money or can add to the cost.
Take the simple example of a hairdryer. If you are buying a hairdryer, you might think that you are making the best buy if you choose one which look you like and which is also the cheapest in price. But when you get it home you may find that it takes twice as long as a more expensive model to dry your hair. The cost of the electricity plus the cost of your time could well make your hairdryer the most expensive one of all.
So what principles should you adopt when you go out shopping?If you keep（D） your home, your car or any valuable possession in excellent condition, you’ll be saving money in the long run.Before you buy a new appliance, talk to someone who owns one. If you can, use it or borrow it to check it suits your particular purpose.Before you buy an expensive item, or a service, do check the price and what is on offer. If possible, choose from three items or three estimates.
