听力题 The Mediterranean is a word both easy to pronounce and easy to spell—if you only know how. It is a word of five syllables: me-di-ter-ran-ean, meaning mid-earth. The Chinese translation is a happy one, as it means exactly the same thing. Europe owes its early growth to the Mediterranean Sea. On its shores were the seats of early civilization: Egypt, Greece and Rome. The Mediterranean fed the people in these lands and provided a highway for trade and diplomacy. Together, they formed a Mediterranean civilization. In 1869 the Suez Canal was cut after 10 years of arduous work. Linking the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean, the Canal shortened the passage from Europe to Asia by some 10,000 kilometres. The Canal is 171 km long and 65 km wide. An ocean liner takes some 10 hours to go through. It goes slowly, but safely. The Canal is now completely Egyptian property. Foreign ships pay for their passage, making the Canal a good earner of hard currency The Mediterranean is a word both easy to pronounce and easy to spell—if you only know how.

听力题(An interviewer is interviewing a sociologist about success. (I= interviewer S= sociologist) I: Dr. Green, you''re a sociologist, and you have been studying success for many years, so what do you think are the factors in success? S: It is obvious that whatever field you''re in, you must have energy and ambition. I: Do you also have to have much natural talent? S: Not necessarily. Study shows that successful people are not always those who have the most natural talent, but those who work really hard. I: Is hard work alone enough? S: Of course not. Success is more than hard work. It must be very focused hard work. It means you have to work effectively and you must have motivation. So attitude is involved. I: Could you please explain? S: Well, it''s like this. You had better not think that work is a kind of pressure. Otherwise, you''ll never succeed. You need to approach difficulties in a positive manner. I: I see. Can you give any examples? S: In our life we can find many people who are faced with many difficulties in their lives but never discouraged. Take Helen Keller as an example. She was born healthy in 1880, but a high fever left her deaf, blind and unable to speak. The world suddenly became dark and frightening. But with her teacher''s help, she learned to communicate with people around her. I: Yes, she has become a good example of determination and courage all over the world.

听力题You are going to hear a conversation between a student and her tutor. W: I''m sorry to disturb you, Dr. Carter, but I need to speak to you about my course. M: Come in, Amy. I haven''t got long because I have to give a lecture in half an hour. What''s the problem? Sit down. W: Well, I''m having problems with one of my subjects — economics. I''m not doing very well and I''m a bit anxious about it. M: You haven''t been doing too well, that''s true. I think you failed your last assignment, didn''t you? W: I''ve failed the last one and the one before that, and I only just scraped through the first one. The problem is that I''m not very interested in economics. I think that''s why I don''t really try and then... M: So what are you saying, Amy? W: I really feel that I should drop economics and pick up Spanish again. I did first year Spanish last year and I got really good marks. M: I don''t understand why you took up economics this year then. W: Well, everyone told me that economics was more important than a language and I thought I could keep up my Spanish on my own with a private teacher. The problem is that I just don''t seem to have time to do everything. M: Surely Spanish isn''t too time consuming. W: No, it wouldn''t be except that I um, I''ve got a part-time job in a restaurant three nights a week. . . I can''t give that up because I really need the money. I just um, can''t fit it all in. M: We could offer you extra help with the economics if you are willing to stick at it. W: No, really Dr Carter, I don''t think it would be any good. I want to change. M: Yes, I can see that your mind''s made up. Well, I have no objection, especially as you have a background in Spanish, but you''ll have to go and see Dr Brown in the Spanish Department and see whether he''ll accept you or not. W: Would you be able to have a word with him about it as well, Dr Carter? M: You can tell him to phone me for a reference if he wants to. I must get to my lecture now. Let me know how you get on.

听力题 Some months ago my friend bought a new refrigerator, but became worried when it did not work properly. The food did not keep well, the milk went sour quickly and the inside of the refrigerator had an unusual smell. My friend tried to do many different things to solve the problems. She checked every comer inside the fridge and wiped the refrigerator out with a wet cloth, all without success. This refrigerator would not work properly. Finally, my friend decided she had had enough. She asked her son-in-law to find the paper with the shop guarantee on it. This guarantee said the shop promised to repair the refrigerator for free if it broke down in the first three months. The son-in-law first had a look at the refrigerator to see what the problem was. To the amusement of all those present and the embarrassment of y friend, he found that she had plugged her refrigerator into the electric power plug in the wall, but had forgotten to switch the power on.

听力题W: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV? M: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late — eleven or even midnight—when I''ve finished work. W: And what sort of programs do you go for? M: Some news bulletins. But I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows. W: Fine. And turning to the new channel... which type of programs would you like to see more of? M: Well, 1 think we need more things like local information... you know, providing a service for the community. W: Ah ha. And if you had to give the directors some specific advice when they set up the new channel, what advice would you give them? M: I''d advise them to pay a lot of attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. And in general I think they ought to do lots more of these kinds of interviews, talking with their potential customers. W: Oh, I''m glad you think it''s valuable! M: Certainly... yeah. W: Good. OK, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts? M: Well, out of that list I''d say every quarter of an hour. I don''t think we can complain about that, as long as they don''t last for ten minutes each time! W: And... would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel? M: Yes, I''d be very happy to, as long as they''re held here in my area. W: OK, I''ll make a note of that. And finally, may we put you on our mailing list? M: Well, I''d prefer not... except for the information about the promotion you mentioned. W: Can I have your name and address? M: Of course... here''s my card! W: Thank you very much for your time and we look forward to seeing you. M: Yes, indeed. Urn, thanks. W: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV?
