Passage One
Most American college students need to be efficient readers. This is necessary because full-time students probably have to read several hundred pages every week. They don't have time to read a chapter three or four times. They need to extract as muc h information as possible from the first or second reading.
An extraordinarily important study skill is knowing how to mark a book. Students mark the main ideas and important details with a pen or pencil, yellow or blue or orange. Some students mark new vocabulary in a different color. Most students write q uestions or short notes in the margins. Marking a book is a use ful skill, but it's important to do it right. First, read a cha pter with one pen in your hand and others next to you on the de sk. Second, read a whole paragraph before you mark anything. Do n't mark too much. Usually you will mark about 10% of a passage. Third, decide on your own system for marking. For example, may be you will mark main ideas in yellow, important details in blu e and new words in orange. Maybe you will put question marks in the margin when you don't understand something and before an e xam. Instead, you just need to review your marks and you can sa ve a lot of time.
16. What should American college students do to cope with t heir heavy reading assignments?
17. What suggestion does the speaker give about marking a t extbook?
18. How should students prepare for an exam according to th
e speaker?
Passage Two
The thought of having no sleep for 24 hours or more isn't a pleasant one for most people. The amount of sleep that each pe rson needs varies. In general, each of us needs about 8 hours o f sleep each day to keep us healthy and happy. Some people, how ever, can get by with just a few hours of sleep at night.
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps. But eve ryone needs some rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have tho ught that there might be an exception to this. Sleep is, after all, a very basic need. But a man named Al Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept!
Al Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersy. They hoped to challenge the claim that he never sle
pt. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even ow n a bed. He never needed one.
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a roc king chair and read a half dozen newspapers. His doctors were p uzzled by the strange case of permanent sleeplessness. Herpin o ffered the only clue to his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin died at the age of 94, never, it seems, havi ng slept at all.
19. What is taken for granted by most people?
20. What do doctors think of Al Herpin's case?
21. What could have accounted for Al Herpin's sleeplessnes s?
Among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second language teachers, are those which are identical in form, but d ifferent in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Columbi an who wants someone to approach him often signals with a hand movement, in which all the fingers of one hand cupped point dow nward as they move rapidly back and forth. Speakers of English
have a similar gesture, though the hand may not be cupped and t he fingers may be held more loosely. But for them, the gesture means "goodbye" or "go away", quite the opposite of the Columbi an gesture. Again in Columbia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he indicates height, he must choose between d ifferent gestures depending on whether he is referring to a hum an being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand paralle l to the floor, as he would in his own culture when making know n the height of a child for example, he will very likely be gre eted by laughter. In Columbia, this gesture is reserved for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings, he should keep the palm of his hand at a right angle to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not on ly humorous but also embarrassing moments. In both of the examp les above, speakers from two different cultures have the same g esture physically, but its meaning differs sharply。

Q9 Why is the man is in the kitchen ware shop?
Q10 Why does the woman want to know whether the man likes c ooking?
Q11 What does the man say he has never realized?
Good transportation is very important in winter. If you have a car, make sure it is ready for the cold weather. Keep the gas t ank as nearly full as you can. This will keep water out of the tank and will be a reserve in case you get into trouble. If a s torm traps you in your car, there are some steps you should tak e for your own safety. Do not tend to walk to find help. You ma y quickly lose your way in blowing and drifting snow. Your chan ces of being found are better if you stay in your car. Keep a d ownwind window open slightly for fresh air. Freezing rain can s eal off your car and lock you inside. Run the engine and heater once in a while. Keep the same downwind window open while the engine is running. Make sure that snow has not blocked the exha
ust pipe. Clap your hands and move your arms and legs from time to time. Do not stay in one position too long. But, do not mov e too much. Exercise warms you up, but it also causes you to lo se body heat. If more than one person is in the car, do not sle ep at the same time. One person should always be awake. If you are alone, stay awake as long as you can. Turn on the inside li ght at night. This would make your car more visible to rescue c re ws. Don’t panic. Stay with your car.
Question 16-18 are based on the passage you have just hear d.
16. What does the speaker say you should do in winter with your car?
17. What should you avoid doing if a storm traps you in the car?
18. Why is too much exercise undesirable when you are trapp ed in a car by a winter storm?
Section C Dictation
According to American law, if someone is accused of a crime, he is considered innocent until the court proves the person is guilty. To arrest a person, the police have to be reasonably s ure that a crime has been committed. The police must give the s uspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his
rights under the law. Then, the police take the suspect to the police station where the name of the person and the charges aga inst him are formally listed. The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The judge decides whether the suspect sho uld be kept in jail or released. If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to cou rt rather than run away, he can go free. Otherwise the suspect must put up bail. At this time too, the judge will appoint a co urt lawyer to defend the suspect if he can’t afford one. The su spect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer from the d istrict attorney’s office presents a case against the suspect. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The jud ge then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. The American Justice System is very complex, and sometimes ope rates slowly. However, every step is designed to protect the ri ghts of the people. These individual rights are the foundation of the American government.
