Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.

These days, German government has been criticized for not doing enough to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I.

Germany has spent less on events than some other European countries.

And the events which have taken place have been seen as half-hearted by critics.

Traditionally in Germany the First World War is overshadowed by the Second World War. History teaching in German schools tends to focus on the crimes of the Nazis rather than what happened a generation earlier.

And since 1945 there's been a strong aversion in Germany to anything that might be seen as glorifying militarism.

So many people here are uncomfortable with any anniversary of a war or a battle.

There's still some disagreement among historians about who was responsible for World War I. But having spent the last 70 years making up for Nazi guilt,

many Germans have little appetite to now take on the blame for the First World War, too. Question 3.What makes the German government be criticized recently?

Question 4.What's the attitude of German people towards militarism?

问题3和问题4是基于下面这则新闻的。

近日，德国政府被谴责的原因是因为第一次世界大战100周年的活动做得不够充分。

相比欧洲其他各国，德国对此纪念活动不够重视。

其举行的纪念活动更被民众指责敷衍了事。

在德国，第二次世界大战比第一次世界大战更受重视。

德国的的历史教学也更加侧重纳粹所犯罪行，而并非发生在上一代人身上的悲剧。

1945年以来，德国民众强烈反对任何可能被视为美化军国主义的行为。

因此，每当有任何战争或战役纪念日时，德国民众心中多有不快。

历史学家在“谁该对第一次世界大战负责”的问题上仍然存在分歧。

过去的70年里，德国一直在弥补纳粹所犯下的罪行,

因此，多数德国人认为德国也不应该为第一次世界大战担责。

问题3.德国政府因何倍受指责？

问题4.德国民众对军国Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.

Passage Three

If you have a product to sell on the Internet, look to India.

"E-commerce" there has increased 400 percent in the past five years.

India now has about 20 million people who buy things over the Internet.

Many of these customers are young people who have busy lives and knowledge of technology. Most also have good jobs that pay well.

Business research companies estimate that two thirds of India's 1.2 billion people are under the age of 35.

That population group is expected to lift Internet sales from 10 billion dollars now to 70 billion dollars by 2020.

Kunal helped create a business called "https://www.wendangku.net/doc/0619452040.html,". He sells coupons, discount cards,

and now many other products that people traditionally found only in stores.

Snapdeal went online three years ago. Kunal hopes his sales will hit one billion dollars by 2015. Rahul is pleased with the success of his company's website, "https://www.wendangku.net/doc/0619452040.html,".

His family sells gifts and things for the home.

At first, he was concerned that buyers would miss being able to touch the products.

But he soon finds that if products are showcased well,

and the photography is good, and your integrity is good, the gap can be bridged.

But selling things on the Internet is not always easy.

Many companies are forced to cut prices and pay shipping costs if they hope to compete.

This means less profit for each product sold.

Together, Indians spend 500 billion dollars a year on retail purchases.

Internet sales are responsible for only a small part of that.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Question 23. What kind of people in India like to buy things online?

Question 24. What can dispel the customers' worry about the products online?

Question 25. What methods do companies use to compete with each other?

短文三

如果你有产品想在网上出售，可以考虑一下印度电商市场。

印度的电子商务在过去的五年里增长了400%。

目前，在网上购物的印度人大约有2000万。

这些人当中大部分是生活忙碌但精通科技的人。

大部分人还有一份好工作，拿着高薪。

商业研究公司估计印度12亿人口中低于35岁的占2/3。

到2020年这群人将把在线销售额从现在的100亿美元提高至700亿美元。

库纳尔创建了名为Snapdeal的企业。该企业销售优惠券、打折卡，

还有一些人们以前只能在实体店才能买到的商品。

Snapdeal三年前上线。库纳尔希望其公司2015年的销售额突破10亿。

拉胡尔对自己公司的网站"https://www.wendangku.net/doc/0619452040.html,"取得的成就感到满意。

该网站出售礼品和居家用品。

刚开始，他担心顾客购物时不能亲手触摸到商品可能是一个弊端。

但是很快他发现如果产品的展示效果好、

照片拍得真实、网站信誉好，那么这一弊端就可以被弥补。

但是在线销售不总是一帆风顺。

很多公司为了提高竞争力不得不采取降价或者支付运费的手段。

这就意味着单件商品的利润减少。

印度零售业务年度销售总额为5000亿，

而在线销售额只占其中很小的一部分。

问题23至问题25是基于你刚刚听到的这篇文章

问题23 在印度什么样的人群喜欢在网上购物？

问题24 什么可以消除人们网络购物的担忧？

问题25 公司采取什么方式提高竞争力？

Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.

U.S. President Barack Obama has said the time has come for a review on the U.S. immigration system.

He made his case at a high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, a day after a group of senators outlined a framework for reform.

The White House and senators conceive a path to citizenship for many of an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

He noted that the current system was "out of date and badly broken".

Mr. Obama's case for an immigration reform reflects a blueprint he rolled out in 2011, though that did not go far.

Mr. Obama now backs the Senate plan including making illegal immigrants pay taxes and fines, and sending them to the back of the queue before they can become American citizens.

His 2011 blueprint also focused on a path to permanent residency and eventual citizenship.

After eight years, individuals would be allowed to become legal permanent residents

and would eventually become citizens five years later, according to his 2011 blueprint. Question 1.What can we know about the immigration reform?

Question 2.According to Obama' 2011 blueprint, how long would it take for illegal immigrants to gain citizenship?

问题1和问题2是关于新闻听力的。

美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马提出应当对美国的移民体系进行重新审视。

在几名议员制定出移民改革框架一天之后，奥巴马在内华达拉斯威加斯一所高中提出了这一框架。

美国有非法移民将近1100万人，通过这一框架美国白宫和议员为其中很多人构想出了一条获得公民身份的途径。

他说目前的移民体系已经“十分陈旧而且支离破碎”。

奥巴马此次的移民改革计划影射了他2011年推出的一份草案，当时这份草案没有得到进一步实施。

奥巴马总统支持的这项由参议院制定的计划中的内容包括让非法移民缴税并支付罚款，

并将他们放在申请美国居民名单的底端。

他2011年草案的重心同样是放在了让非法移民获得永久居住权和公民身份的途径上。

根据2011年草案的内容，非法移民在美国居住满8年将可获得永久居住权，

并可在五年后最终成为美国公民。

问题1 关于移民体系改革我们了解到了什么？

问题2 根据奥巴马2011年的草案，非法移民需多长时间才可获得美国合法居民身份？

Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.

Elephants are used to entertain foreign and domestic tourists in Thailand.

As visitors prefer younger animals, the value of a young elephant has soared to around $33,000. To meet this demand, smugglers in Myanmar capture and tame wild elephants from the country's shrinking herds.

The young elephants are caught in pit-traps, cruelly beaten to break their spirits and then smuggled across the border.

The Thai authorities have cracked down on this trade with some success over the past two years, but campaigners believe that criminals are now stocking up,

ready to transport the animals once again, when restrictions end.

Traffic and other campaigners want to see a toughening up of the laws in Thailand.

Elephants don't have to be registered there until they are eight years old, creating an opportunity for smuggling.

According to researchers, the extra strain put on by the smuggling of live young elephants

could threaten the long-term survival of the species in Myanmar.

Question 3.What are elephants used to do in Thailand?

Question 4.According to the news, what may create an opportunity for smuggling elephants?

问题3和问题4是基于下面这则新闻的。

在泰国，大象被用来娱乐国内外游客。

因游客喜爱幼象，因此一头小象的价格飙升至3.3万美元左右。

为满足这一市场需求，缅甸一些走私贩开始猎捕并驯化为数不多的野生大象。

大象遭走私贩陷阱捕捉后被残暴对待，直到驯化后再被越境贩卖。

过去的两年里，泰国政府已采取措施坚决打击这一非法交易，

但仍然有一些不法之徒蠢蠢欲动，

准备当限制结束时伺机再度贩卖大象。

泰国交通部及其他相关人士希望强化法律规定。

因法律规定大象在满8岁之前不用登记，这一漏洞为走私贩创造了机会。

研究表明，大量走私幼象

很可能会威胁到缅甸境内象群的长期生存。

问题3.大象在泰国的主要作用是什么？

问题4.根据上述新闻，是什么为贩卖大象创造了机会？

Conversation One

W: Hey, Tom, where've you been lately?

M: Oh, I've been doing loads of job interviews. I'm graduating soon.

W: How about your job interviews?

M: I've just got to work out what to do next. I'm torn between a big company and a small company.

W: Really? Personally I would choose the small company. What are you thinking?

M: Well, I was going to go with the big company because if it is bigger, it's got a bigger financial base, it's more secure. And also in a big company they've got to follow the laws. The things like pension and insurance are all going to be sorted out.

W: Well, I prefer a small company for almost all different reasons. It's a lot more exciting, and you're going to be treated, most importantly, like a person. And it would be nice to have the relationships with your coworkers like a human relationship instead of just one giant building. M: You've got a good point about the personal relationships, but that can also work against you. If someone has a good tight relationship with the boss, maybe they're going to get the promotion and you're going to get passed over. That kind of closeness doesn't really seem fair.

W: Well, that is a good point. But most of the people working at a small company are going to share a lot more of your ideals and you're going to have a better time of integrating yourself there.

M: I'm going to have to give this more thought.

W: OK.

M: 哦，因为马上要毕业了，我正忙着到处面试求职呢。

W: 面试的结果如何?

M: 我不知道接下来该怎么选择。我正纠结着应该选择大公司还是小公司。

W: 真的吗？我个人认为应该选择小公司。你觉得呢？

M: 嗯，我更加倾向大公司。因为大公司所能够未员工提供的安全感和优越的福利。并且大公司都是按照国家的法律法规经营的。那么退休金和保险等方面的问题就不用担心了。W: 我之所以喜欢小公司有多方面的原因。在小公司里，同事待你更加真诚，人与人之间的交往也更为融洽。与其待在一栋冰冷的大楼里，还不如尽情享受同事间亲密的人际关系。M: 人际关系这一点你说的的确在理，但也不完全正确。假如员工与老板之间的关系过于亲密，那他们很可能会抢了你的升职机会。亲密的人际关系可能会导致不公平现象的发生。W: 你说的没错。但很多在小公司工作的人都喜欢分享自己的一些观点和看法，在这样的环境下，你可以借机整合并提升自己。

M: 我还得再三考虑后再做决定。

W: 好的。

W: Alan, you used to be a baker?

M: Yes, I did.

W: That's pretty cool. Can you make anything, like bread, cake?

M: Yeah. My specialty. What I did a lot of was different varieties of bread, such as white bread, sour dough, Italian bread and French bread and so on.

W: Oh, sounds good. What is the routine of a baker? Do you have to get up early, or how does that work?

M: Yes. Generally most bakeries, especially bakeries that sell bread, they start operations very early in the morning.

W: Why?

M: If you want to get the bread out as early as possible, bread bakers must start at 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. They'll come in and open up the shop. They'll get everything going, fire up the ovens and start mixing the bread dough. So the bakery can open at 8 in the morning, and the customers get fresh baked bread.

W: So a baker is really diligent. And what would you say is the best thing about being a baker? M: The best thing about being a baker would be making all those fancy desserts. I enjoyed that part of baking, making those kinds of products.

W: Was there anything that you did not like about being a baker?

M: Pretty much, specifically, I didn't like the working hours. The actual work was not bad but the working hours and the pay were not so good.

W: OK, well, still you'd have to love that smell of fresh bread every day.

M: I did enjoy that.

W: 艾伦，你曾经做过面包师？

M: 是的。

W: 太棒了。那你能做面包或蛋糕之类的东西吗？

M: 当然，这是我的拿手戏。我曾经做过各式各样的糕点，比如说白面包，酸面包，意式面包和法式面包等。

W: 听起来真诱人。一位面包师的日常生活是怎样的？你需要每天早起吗，或者你觉得这份工作如何？

M: 没错。大多数烘焙师，尤其是需要售卖面包的师傅们，他们很早就起床开始工作啦。W: 为什么？

M: 如果想让面包尽早出炉，面包师们需要凌晨3、4点钟就开始准备。来到店铺后开门营业。将需要的东西准备好，把烤箱预热后让面团发酵。这样才能保证在早上8点钟准时营业，顾客也能买到新鲜的面包。

W: 所以面包师们真的很辛苦。你觉得身为一名面包师最骄傲的一点是什么？

M: 我觉得应该是可以制作出各式各样的甜点。我很享受制作各种点心的这一过程。

W: 那作为一名面包师有没有不顺心之处？

M: 那太多了，尤其是工作时间。面包师的这一工作性质还算可以，但工作时间不规律，报酬也不是很高。

W: 嗯，好的，但你还是喜欢每天沉浸在面包的香气里。

M: 是的，我很喜欢。

Passage One

Do you ever feel sick of your life? Then why not sell it?

This is exactly what one man is attempting to do following the breakdown of his marriage.

Ian Usher, a 44-year-old British man living in Australia,

is using the online auction site eBay to sell not only his belongings, but his entire life.

Up for grabs are his house and everything that's in it: his car, his parachuting gear, even his pots and pans.

But what makes the auction unique is that the package also includes a two-week trial run at his job as an assistant in a rug store,

and even an introduction to his friends in the local area.

Mr. Usher said he no longer wanted to be reminded of the life he shared with his ex-wife,

and hopes the sale will raise funds for a life-changing adventure.

He said that once the sale has gone through,

he plans to "walk out of his front door with his wallet in one pocket and his passport in the other,"

and see where the plane takes him.

Bidding opened on Sunday, and by Monday morning had already reached the staggering figure of 2 million Australian dollars.

Unfortunately for Mr. Usher most of the high bids turned out to be fake,

as he had not activated a registration system that would have only let genuine bids through. Whatever the final price he receives, he is by no means the first person to try to sell something unusual online.

A fighter jet, a piece of Britney Spears' chewing gum, and even some toenail have all been sold on eBay.

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

然而不幸的是，多数竞标价格都是假的，

因为他并没有激活报价鉴定的登记系统。

Passage Two

Hand washing reduces the spread of germs from one person to the next.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

hand washing is one of the most important means of preventing the spread of infection.

If you track when you wash your hands you may find it is not as often as you think.

A recent survey found that 94% of Americans say that they always wash their hands after going to the bathroom

but observations in public restrooms show that only 68% of adults did so.

Why should you wash? Germs are so small that you cannot see them.

A few of them can cause serious and life-threatening diseases.

Washing your hands correctly greatly reduces the chances of spreading germs.

Disease-causing germs can enter your body when your unwashed hands touch your nose, mouth, and open wounds.

Some of those germs may have changed to protect themselves against an antibiotic, which is called antibiotic resistance.

While your health care providers have a professional responsibility to wash their hands,

it is important that everyone make hand washing a personal priority.

How you wash your hands is important, especially when it comes to eliminating germs.

Just washing them quickly is not enough.

When you wash your hands: Use soap and warm, running water.

Wash all surfaces thoroughly, including wrists, palms, back of hands, fingers and under the fingernails.

Rub hands together for at least 10-15 seconds.

When drying, use a clean or disposable towel if possible, and pat your skin rather than rubbing. Apply hand lotion or cream after washing to soothe your skin and help prevent drying. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Question 19. What does the recent survey reveal about hand-washing?

Question 20. Which is the way that germs can enter peopled bodies when people don't wash hands?

Question 21. What kind of water is preferred when people wash hands?

Question 22. What can be learned about hand washing mentioned in the passage?

经常洗手能有效减少细菌传染。

美国疾病控制与预防中心公布称：

洗手是预防传染病最有效的方式之一。

每次洗手时，你或许会发现自己洗手的次数并不是那么频繁。

一份报告显示：94%的美国人使用过卫生间后会洗手，

但据一项公共厕所相关调查发现，使用过卫生间后洗手的成年人只有68%。

为什么要洗手？因为细菌是肉眼所看不到的。

有的细菌还会引发严重甚至致命的疾病。

正确的洗手方式可以很大程度上减少细菌的传播。

当你用手触摸鼻子，嘴巴或者外伤时，可致病细菌便会借机进入体内。

有的细菌为打破抗生素这一“屏障”会不断繁殖。

虽然说勤洗手是医护人员的硬性要求，

但是每个人都应该有经常洗手的卫生保健意识。

如何正确洗手是非常重要的，尤其是需要消除手上细菌的时候。

当然，快速冲洗是远远不够的。

洗手时应该使用肥皂和流动的温水。

彻底清洗手部皮肤，包括手腕、手掌、手背、手指和指甲。

用力擦洗双手10-15秒。

洗完之后，可以用一条干净的或者一次性毛巾轻轻拍干多余水分。

最后擦拭护手霜，防止肌肤干燥。
