Paper Two

Part I Listening Comprehension

Section D

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact word(s) you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

Increasingly, over the past ten years, people -- especially young people -- have (48) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly convenience foods, is not good for the health. (49) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have (50) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , widely used in farming today.

Natural foods, for example, are (51) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ which (52) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that is rich in organic matter.

Natural foods (53) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ which have been allowed to (54) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ in healthy pastures.

There are (55) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ which are now receiving (56) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually (57) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ !

Section E

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the missing information. You can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

The “ (58) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ “ sport of skin diving is (59) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ as old as swimming. (60) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , skin diving was “natural” diving; that is, no breathing (61) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ was used. Pearl and sponge divers have been diving like this for (62) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . But during World War II, SCUBA was (63) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to the sport. SCUBA (64) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ for “self-contained (65) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ breathing apparatus”.

The air tank strapped to the diver’s back adds some of the benefits of deep-water diving to the freedom of skin diving. The diver is able to stay under longer. Even so, this has not eliminated conventional diving. (66) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . But where mobility is a major consideration, or where the terrain is too rough for an air hose, SCUBA diving is the answer.

In addition to the usual air tank, which releases a stream of bubbles into the water when the diver exhales, there is a “closed circuit” SCUBA that is used by the military. (67) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Most amateur skin diving today is done, however, for the sake of adventure and the beauty of the underwater scene.

Section C

In the last 500 years, nothing about people --- not their clothes, ideas, or languages --- has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of a certain kind of tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became popular. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.

The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people died from hunger when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” of 1845-1846.

There are many other foods that have travelled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in many other countries of South America. But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made int o a drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.

31. Who made chocolate popular all over the world?

32. Where is the origin of the potato?

33. Which of the following is TRUE?

Passage Two

A computer is a machine designed to perform work mathematically and to store and select information that has been fed into it. It is run by either mechanical or electronic means. These machines can do a great deal of complicated work in a very short time. A large computer, for example, can add or subtract nine thousand times a second, multiply a thousand times a second, or divide five hundred times a second. Its percentage of error is about one in a billion digits. It has been estimated that human beings making calculations average about one mistake per two hundred digits.

The heart of an electronic computer lies in its vacuum tubes, or transistors. Its electronic circuits work a thousand times faster than the nerve cells in the human brain. A problem that might take a human being two years to solve can be solved by a computer in one minute, but in order to do properly, a computer must be given instruction --- it must be programmed.

Computers can be designed for many specialized purposes --- they can be used to prepare payrolls, guide

airplane flights, direct traffic, even to play chess. Computers play an essential role in modern automation in

many places and factories throughout the world.

34. What is NOT the advantage of the computer?

35. Which of the following is important to the functions of a computer?

36. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.

Passage Three

When a sleepy driver has trouble with keeping his eyes on the road and gets too close to another car, an alarm sound will warn the driver. If nothing is done, the car will automatically come to a stop and in this way prevent an accident. This is a new device which will soon be tested in an experimental car in Japan. The computer warning system keeps track of a driver’s condition by monitoring his heartbeat with signals transmitted from a band around his wrist. The wrist band records the driver’s pulse which measures the heartbeat. Each pulse in the wrist sends a signal to the computer. By analyzing the pulse rate, the computer can determine whether a driver is drunk, sleeping or ill. Devices in other parts of the car can also tell the computer if the car is too close to another vehicle or is moving dangerously. The computer will sound the alarm when a problem arises, and will automatically stop the car if the driver ignores the warning.

37. Why is a computer system installed in an experimental car?

38. What does the computer system do first when a problem arises?

39. What is special about the new computer system?

Passage Four

We do not know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to keep the dead from decaying. Stealing salt was considered as a major crime during some periods of history. In the 18th century, for instance, if a person was caught stealing salt, he would be put in jail. Historical records show that ten thousand people were put in jail during that century for

s tealing salt. About 150 years before, in the year 1553, taking more than one’s share of salt was punishable as a crime. The offender’s ear would be cut off.

Salt was an important item on the table of a king. It was traditionally placed in front of the king when he sat down to eat. Important guests at the king’s table were seated near the salt. Less important guests were given seats further away from it.

40. When did evidence show people begin to eat salted fish?

41. How was salt used in Egypt thousands of years ago?

42. Why were ten thousand people put in jail during the 18th century?

43. In the 16th century, what would happen to a person who took more than his share of salt?

44. Traditionally, where was salt put on a king’s table?

Passage Five

Gravi ty holds us close to the Earth’s surface. Nobody can jump more than a few feet into the air without the force of gravity pulling him down. It takes a powerful engine to keep a plane up in the air. If you throw a ball upwards as hard as you can, you will notice that it travels in a curved path before it comes back to the ground. If the Earth had no gravity, the ball, instead of travelling in a curve, would move away in a straight line; in fact, it would never come back to the ground. If the Earth were to lose its pull of gravity, we should all fly off it as it spins round in space. The Earth has a strong pull, but modern rockets going out into space are able to escape from the gravity, because they travel so quickly. With the ball thrown into the air, the height reached by the ball depends upon how hard it is thrown. The greater the starting-speed, the higher the ball will go. If it could be thrown so that it travelled fast enough, the ball would escape into space and never come back. Nobody can throw a ball as fast as this, but powerful rocket engines can send spaceships away from the Earth at such a speed that the Earth’s gravity is not able to pull them back. This is how we can now send rockets to the Moon.

45. Because of gravity, we can ________.

46. Without gravity, a ball thrown into the air would travel ________.

47. Nobody could throw a ball away from the earth because _________.

Section D

Increasingly, over the past ten years, people -- especially young people -- have (48) become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly convenience foods, is not good for the health. (49) Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have (50) not been affected by chemical fertilizers , widely used in farming today.

Natural foods, for example, are (51) vegetables, fruits and grains which (52) have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter.

Natural foods (53) also include animals which have been allowed to (54) feed and move freely in healthy pastures.

There are (55) other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving (56) increasing attention from experts on diet . Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually (57) a non-essential food !

Section E

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the missing information. You can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

The “ (58) modern “ sport of skin diving is (59) probably as old as swimming. (60)

Originally , skin diving was “natural” diving; that is, no breathing (61) equipment was used. Pearl and sponge divers have been diving like this for (62) centuries . But during World War II, SCUBA was (63) introduced to the sport. SCUBA (64) stands for “self-contained (65) underwater breathing apparatus”.

The air tank strapped to the diver’s back adds some of the benefits of deep-water diving to the freedom of skin diving. The diver is able to stay under longer. Even so, this has not eliminated conventional diving. (66) Those who make the longer-lasting deep dives (below 130 feet) still need the protection of a heavier suit and unlimited air . But where mobility is a major consideration, or where the terrain is too rough for an air hose, SCUBA diving is the answer.

In addition to the usual air tank, which releases a stream of bubbles into the water when the diver exhales, there is a “closed circuit” SCUB A that is used by the military. (67) This tank releases bubbles only during ascent so that the diver can work undetected . Most amateur skin diving today is done, however, for the sake of adventure and the beauty of the underwater scene.

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .
