銆銆M: Have you noticed the new stbin downstairs, atthe entrance of the main building?
銆銆W: Yeah, of course. It looks funny, though, like abattery. What's it for? Is it really for garbage?
銆銆M: Not really. Actually it's a stbin for usedbatteries.
銆銆W: Used batteries? What do you mean by that? Whydo we need a special stbin for used batteries?
銆銆M: Well, you know there are still a lot of heavy metals left in used batteries, so by recycling thebatteries, [23]we can not only make full use of the metals left, but also prevent theenvironment from being polluted.
銆銆W: Oh, I see. Can this work? Our efforts are too insignificant.
銆銆M: Even though we are not ecologists or biologists, there is still a lot we can do. [24]TheStudent Union is sponsoring a one-month program called "Green Movement", which is aimed atmaking more and more students aware of serious environmental problems we are facing now.
銆銆W: Sounds quite exciting-"Green Movement". What, for example, can I do?
銆銆M: Well, quite a lot. For one thing, you can stop using those plastic meal-boxes anddisposable wooden chopsticks. Plastic meal-boxes do great harm to the environmentanddisposable chopsticks are a big waste of forest resources. [25]Well, there will be a lecturetomorrow afternoon at four o'clock. You may attend if you are interested.

銆銆[26/27]Do you remember a time when people were a little nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance to get off first, or never saying "thank you" when others hold a door open for them. We get lazy and in our laziness we think that something like a simple "thank you" doesn't really matter. But it can matter very much. The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress or how beautifully we decorate our homes, we can't be truly elegant without good manners, because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. [28]Haven't you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? It's funny how that happens, but it does. Take the long-lost art of saying "thank you" like wearing a little make-up, or making sure your hair is neat. Getting into the habit of saying "thank you" can make you feel better about yourself. [26]Good manners add to your image, while an angry face makes the best-dressed person look ugly.

16.

答案解析：
15.
W: I want to send this package by first class mail. I'dalso like some stamps.
M: Do you want the mail insured?
Q: Where are the two speakers?
正確答案：B
解析：女士說：「我想以第一類郵件的方式寄這個包裹，另外我還想買幾張郵票。」男士回答：「你的郵寄物品需要買保險嗎?」可見對話發生在郵局，即B。介詞「in/at+地點名詞」構成標準的詢問對話發生場所的場景題選項。解答這類題時，要留意對話雙方的話，由關鍵詞確定答案。本對話中，第一個說話人說的send this package byfirst class mail, stamps以及第二個說話人說的mail, insure，都是郵寄東西時常用的詞彙。
16.
M: I thought that maybe we could go there for lunch today. That is, if you haven't promised togo with someone else.
W: That'd be wonderful, Joe. But I hope you're in a better mood than you were this morning.
Q: What does the woman mean?
正確答案：C
解析：男士提議說，女士如果沒有約會的話，中午一起吃飯;女士表示贊同，說：「太好了。不過我希望你的心情已經比上午好了一些。」言下之意說，男士上午情緒不好，故C正確。「中but」題。女士的話That'd bewonderful... 是隨口贊同說的客氣話，並不表示女士很興奮excited，據此排除A。but後面的內容才是重點，它表明男士上午情緒不佳，故選C，同時排除其他。

聽力真題：
Section C
pound Dictation

答案解析：
36. interview
解析：不定式to後面加原形動詞。interview意為「對……進行面試」。
37. required
解析：此處是動詞的過去分詞作定語，修飾後面的名詞，不要漏寫結尾的ed。
38. place
解析：此處是名詞位於形容詞後，作表語。
39. retirements
解析：與前面的growth和後面的turnover屬於並列關系，此處也需要名詞，拼寫時記得最後還有個表復數形式的s。
40. openings
解析：由前面修飾的片語thousands of可知此處需復數名詞，opening表示「空缺」之義，不要漏寫結尾的s。
41. illustrate
解析：此處應採用一般現在時，由於主語是復數名詞，因此該詞是原形動詞。illustrate在此意為「說明」。拼寫時注意中間有兩個l。
42. correspond
解析：情態動詞may後面，應是原形動詞，該詞與with搭配。correspond with在此處意為「與……一致。」拼寫時注意中間有兩個r。
43. contact
解析：片語have to後面接原形動詞;根據上下文，該詞很可能表示聯絡之義。
44. 標准答案：Their salaries are usually petitive and the chances for advancement are even stronger than those of a big firm
聽音關鍵：salaries, petitive, chances for advancement, stronger than, big firm
答案重構：Their salaries are usually good and you will have stronger chances for advancement in these little panies
畫龍點睛：此句聽寫只要抓住兩層意思：小公司薪水也好而且晉升機會較大，按照聽到的關鍵詞把意思表達完整即可。
45. 標准答案：if you had climbed the more petitive ladder of a corporate giant
聽音關鍵：had climbed, more petitive ladder, corporate giant
答案重構：if you had climbed the more petitive ladder of a big pany
畫龍點睛：此句採用了虛擬語氣，故從句要用過去完成時。結尾的a corporate giant，可用意思類似的a big pany替換，單詞簡單，也避免拼錯。
46. 標准答案：In large firms it may take years to reach that level and accumulate similar experience
聽音關鍵：large firms, take years, reach that level, accumulate, similar experience
答案重構：In big panies, if you want to be in that position and get similar experience, you may spend years of time
畫龍點睛：原句是用it作形式主語，可根據句子含義，轉換一下主語，換一種表達。

A. He is going to a business convention in town.
B. He is going to meet his clients.
C. He is going to deal with workplace accidents.
D. He is going to be interviewed for new employment.
答案解析：
Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Hi. How can we help you today?
M: Yeah. I'd like to get my hair trimmed a little. Nothing fancy. Just a basic trim.
W: Well, can we interest you in today's special?
M: Um... No...
W: [19]We'll shampoo, cut, and style your hair for one unbelievable low price of $9.99. Plus, we'll give you a clean shave and a back massage to help you relax. Best service in town!
M: Okay, [20]I'll have the plete service today, but as I said before, I just want to get my hair trimmed. A little off the top and sides. That's all. I mean, that's all.
W: No problem. Relax. [21]You're in good hands. Okay, here we go. So, what do you do for a living?
M: I'm a lawyer, specializing in workplace accidents, and [22]I'm in town for an interview for a new job, and... Hey, what happened to my hair? And what's left of my hair turned purple. Are you even a licensed beautician?
W: Well, sir. We offer a money-back guarantee on all our work, so if you're not pletely satisfied...
M: Satisfied? I'm anything but satisfied. [22]How in the world am I supposed to go to a job interview looking like this? Forget it. Forget it.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is one service NOT included in the special price at the beauty salon?
正確答案：B
解析：女士說，當日的特別優惠是以9.99美元的價格享受洗、剪、吹，外加剃須、背部 *** 。A、C、D均有提及;只有B修指甲不在服務范圍內，故應選B。通讀選項，知道這篇對話與理發有關。本題選項涉及相關服務專案，解答時要注意對話中提到哪些專案，以做相應標記。此外，修指甲不屬於一般男士理發業務范圍，根據「主題原則」，與主題無關的即為答案，直接選B。
20. Why does the man repeatedly say "That's all"?
正確答案：C
解析：男士的原話是：「今天就來整套服務吧。不過，……我只想把頭發修一下。上面和兩邊都稍微修剪一點點就可以了……」這里的「That's all」表明男士不想要別的花樣，只需要自己想要的服務，故C正確。根據男士說的「Okay, I'll have the plete service today」，可排除A甚至D全套服務所需的長時間與quickly矛盾;B無依據。
21. What does the beautician mean by "You're in good hands"?
正確答案：C
解析：女士說：「沒問題，放鬆點，給你服務的是個好手。」所謂「好手」即是水平高的美容美發師，故C正確。本題問「You're in good hands」是什麼意思 。像這種「短語含義題」，絕不能選其單詞本義，由此可排除A;若頭發狀態良好，就不用來理發了，故B也可排除;D是利用原詞relax設定的干擾項。
22. Why does the customer go to this beauty salon to improve his appearance?
正確答案：D
解析：男士先說，他到城裡來面試一份新工作。隨後又抱怨，「我這個樣子怎麼去面試?」可見男士來美容院理發是為了參加面試，故D正確。四個選項均以「He is going to」開頭，差別在to後面的內容上。A、B未提到，可排除;男士說他是一個處理工傷事故的律師，C中的一般將來時態與對話內容不一致。

答案解析：
Passage Two
Did you know that there's a kind of bird that can sew? This bird, called the "Tailor Bird", uses its mouth as a needle. [29]It sews leaves together in the shape of a cup. Then it adds a layer of straw to the inside of the cup and lays its eggs there. Each bird species builds its own special kind of nest. The most mon materials used for nests are grasses, branches, and feathers. A bird must weave these materials into a nest. Just imagine building a house without cement or nails to hold it together! Another bird is called the "Weaver Bird". The "Weaver Bird" builds a nest that looks like a basket. The nest does shape like a pear with a hole in the middle. [30]The hole is the door of the nest. A third bird is called the "Oven Bird". The "Oven Bird" makes a nest that is very solid. [31]The nest is made of mud. The "Oven Bird" forms the mud into the shape of an oven, and then lets it dry in the sun. The sun bakes the mud, making it very hard. Not all birds make their homes in branches. [32]Some birds build their nests on the ground while others bury their eggs under the ground, and some birds do not build nests at all. So when you look for nests and eggs in the branches of trees and bushes, [32]remember that some nests may be right under your feet.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What does the nest built by a Tailor Bird look like?
正確答案：B
解析：文章主要提到3種鳥，需要一一記錄相關資訊，題目順序一般與資訊出現的順序一致。最先聽到的是tailor bird，而題目詢問縫葉鶯的巢看上去是什麼樣子。關鍵是要聽到「它縫葉鶯把樹葉縫在一起，呈杯狀。」故選B。A是織巢鳥的窩的樣子，C是無關選項，D是灶巢鳥的窩的樣子。
30. Why is there a hole in the Weaver Bird's nest?
正確答案：B
解析：聽到的第2種鳥是weaver bird，而題目詢問織巢鳥的窩上為什麼有一個洞。關鍵是要聽到「這個洞是鳥巢的門。」因此答案為B。
31. What is the Oven Bird's nest made of?
正確答案：C
解析：第3種鳥是oven bird，而題目詢問灶巢鳥的窩是用什麼做的。關鍵是要聽到「這個窩是用泥巴做的。」故C正確。此外，原文提到Oven Bird時，三次提及了mud這個單詞，應該不難得出答案C。符合短文聽力「聽到什麼選什麼」的解題原則。
32. What might surprise us about birds' nests according to the speaker?
正確答案：A
解析：題目詢問根據作者所說，鳥巢可能讓我們感到驚訝的是什麼。關鍵是要聽到最後一句「……記住，有些鳥巢也許就在你的腳下」。故選A。符合「同義替換」的原則。短文結尾處常設考點。

閱讀一
Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.
A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.
New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遺傳學). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us.
This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US, for example, the south is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.
1.Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ___________.
A.has little to do with culture B.has much to do much culture
C.is ever changing D.is different from place to place
2.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _________.
A.before birth B.as soon as one’s teeth are newly set
C.some time after new teeth are set D.around 15 years old
3.Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the US a person is from by _______.
A.how much he or she smiles B.how he or she raise his or her eyebrows
C.what he or she likes best D.the way he or she talks
4.People who live _________ are more friendly.
A.in largely populated areas B.in New York City
C.in the country D.in the North

California—Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson expressed her anger and impatience with
President Bush last spring on her web page on MySpace.com . She posted a picture of the president, wrote “Kill Bush ” across the top and drew a sword stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.
It was too late, Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her biology class. The 14—year—old was taken out of class Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when questioning their daughter.
The teenager said the agents’ questioning led her to tears. “I wasn’t dangerous,” said Wilson, an honor student who describes herself as politically enthusiastic. “I’m a peace-loving person. I’m against the war in Iraq. I’m not going to kill the president.”
Her mother, Kirstie Wilson, said two agents showed up at the family’s home Wednesday afternoon, questioned her and promised to return once her daughter was home from school.
After they left, Kirstie Wilson sent a next message to her daughter’s call phone, asking her to come straight home and telling her that two men from the secret service wanted to talk with her.
But moments later, Kirstie Wilson received a text message from her daughter saying agents had pulled her out of class.
Julia Wilson said the agents threatened her, saying she could be sent to court for making the threat. “They yelled at me a lot,” she said. “They were unnecessarily mean.”
Wilson and her parents said the agents were justified in questioning her over her MySpace.com posting. But they said the agents went too far by not waiting until she was out of school and the agents should have more quickly figured out they weren’t dealing with a real danger.
Assistant Principal Paul Robinon said the agents gave him the impression the girl’s mother knew they were planning to question her daughter at school. There is no legal requirement that parents be notified.
“This has been an on-going problem.” said Ann Brick, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties union in San Francisco.
Former governors Pete Wilson and Gray Davis vetoed(否決) bills that would have required that parents give permission or be present when their children are questioned at school by law enforcement officers.
1.Julia Wilson was questioned because .
A.she wanted to kill President Bush
B.she set up the website Myspace.com
C.the agents thought she might be a threat to the federal
D.she was a peace-loving person
2.What can we infer from the text?
A.Julia Wilson will be put into prison for making a threat.
B.Kirtie Wilson thought it wrong to question her daughter in school without them.
C.Assistant principal thought there was no need to inform Julia’s parents when questioning her.
D.Ann Brick believes that teenagers should not be politically enthusiastic.
3.What does the underlined word “mean” mean in the text?
A.cruel and violent B.poisonous
C.kind-hearted D.unfair
4.The author wrote this story mainly to .
A.struggle against the war in Iraq started by the US
B.discuss whether parents should be included when children are questioned
C.warn teenagers not to post web pages on websites
D.criticize the former governors who vetoed the bill
春節貼年畫(pasting New Year Prints)的風俗源自於往房子外面的門上貼門神(Door Gods)的傳統。隨著木質雕刻品的出現，年畫包含了更廣泛的主題，最出名的就是門神，三大神—福神、薪神和壽神(Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity)，寓意著莊稼豐收、家畜興旺和慶祝春節。年畫的四大產地分別是蘇州桃花塢，天津楊柳青，河北武強和山東濰坊。現在中國農村仍然保持著貼年畫的傳統，而在城市裡很少有人貼年畫。
答案
作文範文：
The human being differs from the wild beast in that the latter is liable to have a hostile view of others and interact in an unreasonable and aggressive manner. Primitive humans might have acted in such fashion, but civilized humans should cultivate more appropriate behaviors.
In the drawing above, a man carrying a large load accidentally steps on a woman's foot. Given that he gracefully apologizes, the woman both accepts his apology and assures him not to worry.
The man and woman depicted interact with each other in a courteous and compassionate manner. The woman understands the man did not intentionally step on her foot, and therefore whether or not she is in pain, she does not attack or blame him. Because she is able to view the situation from his perspective, conflict is diverted. Mutual understanding such as this is a fundamental aspect of civilized society.
Some people tend to think the worst of others and become angry over even the smallest of matters, regardless of how their own actions are disturbing in turn. Such intolerance only leads to more conflict. Disrespecting or mistreating,people not only inflicts pain upon others, but can also harm one's own conscienceand attitude.
Having compassion for others is an important facet of social intercourse. Once one strives to understand the experience and perspective of another, one can avoid much trouble and conflict, thus making life more peaceful and just for all.

人類和野獸的區別就在於後者傾向於相互仇視，交往時不講道理且好鬥。原始人也許會如此行事，但文明人應該養成更得體的舉止。
上圖中，一個手裡捧著很多東西的先生無意中踩了旁邊女士的腳。在他有禮貌地道歉後，這位女士不僅接受了他的道歉，還讓他不必在意。
上圖中的先生和女士詮釋了在與人交往時應有的禮貌和富有同情心的態度。這位女士知道他並不是有意要踩她的腳，所以無論疼不疼，她都不會攻擊或是埋怨這位先生。因為她能設身處地地看待這件事情，一場沖突就避免了。像這樣的相互理解是構成文明社會的基本方面。
一些人往往把別人想得特別壞，為點雞毛蒜皮的事就大發雷霆，而全然不顧他們自己的行為是多麼讓別人討厭。這種偏狹只會導致更多的沖突，對人無禮或粗暴不僅會給別人帶來不愉快，而且會損害自己的道德水準和儀態。寬厚是社交中重要的一面，一旦一個人努力去理解別人的做法和看法，他就會避免許多麻煩和沖突，而這會讓所有人的生活都變得更美好。

The custom of pasting New Year Prints in Spring Festival originated from the tradition of pasting Door Gods on the external doors of the houses. With the creation of board carvings, New Year paintings cover a wide range of subjects. The most famous ones are Door Gods and Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity, signifying the abundant harvest of crops, the prosperity of domestic animals and the celebration of Spring Festival. Four procing areas of New Year Prints are Taohuawu of Suzhou, Yangliuqing of Tian Jing, Wuqiang of Hebei and Weifang of Shandong. Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings is still kept in rural China, while it is seldom followed in cities.

銆銆W錛 Why is that錛

銆銆When you look up at the night sky錛 what do you see錛 There are other heavenly bodies out there besides the moon and stars. One of the most fascinating of this is a comet. Comets were formed around the same the earth was formed. They are made up of ice and other frozen liquids and gasses. Now and then these dirty snow balls begin to orbit the sun just as the planets do. As a comet gets closer to the sun, some gasses in it begin to unfreeze. They combine with st particles from the comet to form a huge cloud. As the comet gets even nearer to the sun and solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet thus forming its tail. The tail and generally fuzzy atmosphere around the comet are characteristics that can help identify this phenomenon in the night sky. In any given year錛 about dozen known comets come close to the sun in their orbits. The average person can鈥檛 see them all of course. Usually there is only one or two a year bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Comet Hale-Bopp discovered in 1995 was an unusually bright comet. Its orbit bought it relatively to the earth within 122 million miles of it. But Hale-Bopp came a long way on its earthly visit. It won鈥檛 be back for another 4 thousand years or so.
