Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the sc-Teen.

Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.

Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. (76) Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.

Also, the young are less patient. (77) Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen.

1. In the past, many young people__________.

A. knew the effects of war

B. went in for politics

C. liked to save the wounded in wars

D. were willing to be soldiers

听力原文：(knock on the door)

Professor: Come in. Come in.

Michael: Good morning Professor Plant. I understand you wanted to see me?

Professor: Yes, Michael, I did. It's about your course work.

Michael: My course work?

Professor: I'm afraid your tutor, Mr. Atkins, has reported to me that the standard of your work has been getting worse.

Michael: I know, Professor, I...er...

Professor: He tells me that the essays you have done this term have been weak, and that your attendance at his tutorials and seminars has been poor.

Michael: He has spoken to me about it, Professor.

Professor: At this stage, Michael, your course work is very important. I understand from Mr. Atkins that you are capable of an upper second and it would be a pity to ruin your chances of a good degree, wouldn't it?

Michael: Yes, it would.

Professor: Michael, I think you should do two things. The first is to cut down on your Union activities-I understand you do a lot in the Student Union—and the second is to see one of the Welfare tutors to discuss any problems you may have. I'd like you to make an appointment to do that as soon as possible.

Michael: All right, Professor.

Professor: And I'll expect to hear that your course work has improved. Good morning, Michael,

Michael: Good morning, Professor, and thank you.

(Michael is in the Welfare Of fice.)

Michael: I hope I'm not late, Miss Baxter. I have an appointment for 11 o'clock. Professor Plant asked me to come.

Baxter: Take a seat, please.

Michael: My name's Michael Andrews. I'm in my last year.

Baxter: Oh yes, you're Chairman of the Social Science Society, aren't you?

Michael: That's right. That's one of my problems. It's been taking up too much time.

Baxter: Surely there must be another student who could take over the job,

Michael: Yes, there is someone, I suppose.

Baxter: There isn't anything else worrying you, is there, Mr. Andrews? Anything personal. I mean. At home? Financial? You needn't feel embarrassed. There may be something I can do to help.

Michael: I... er... I'm in debt.

Baxter: Surely you have a reasonable grant?

Michael: Yes, I have, but this term's hasn't come yet and I borrowed some money when I bought a car.

Baxter: I see.

Michael: Now this person—well, actually he's a friend—now he wants his money back.

Baxter: That seems natural enough. How much do you owe him?

Michael: One hundred pounds.

Baxter: Well, I'm afraid it's against our policy to lend money to students. The only solution seems to he to sell the car, Otherwise you'll be short of money all term.

Michael: Yes, I suppose so.

Baxter: In any case, I'll ask your County to send your grant as soon as possible.

Michael: Thank you very much.

(Michael is talking to his friend Tessa in the students' coffee bar.)

Tessa: Cheer up, Mike, you look really down in the dumps. What's the matter?

Michael: I've seen the Professor this morning and the Welfare Tutor. They've advised me to resign as Chairman of the Social Science Society.

Tessa: Resign! But you've done it so well.

Michael: Yes, I know, but I can't get through my work and I've got finals coming up. I intended to work really hard last vacation, but you know what happened.

Tessa: I suppose it is best to resign, Mike. Peter can take over.

Michael: That's not all. There's a bigger blow.

Tessa: Money, I suppose.

Michael: Well, I owe Jim a hundred pounds.

Tessa: What for? The car, was it? You are a fool, Mike. I can't see how' an economist can be so silly about money.

Michael: I'll just have to sell the car!

Tessa: Well, cheer up!

A．is a freshman

B．is a bad student

C．is declining in his course study

D．has spent most of his time on course work

Now listen to the interview.

听力原文：INTERVIEWER: On the matter of careers, a lot of the jobs that people go into are sort of lifetime careers. What about baseball? Is it a full life-time career?

MIKE: It's been—I mean, it's been my life so far, you know. I know someday—could be tomorrow—that I'm going to be out of it.

INTERVIEWER: But how long can you really expect to... to play, let's say, actively?

MIKE: Well, I think I've set goals, and I made my first goal, which was to make it to the big leagues. And now, my next goal is to make it through four years... to get my pension. And after that, everything is...

INTERVIEWER: But how many years can you expect to play professional ball?

MIKE: It's...I'm a pitcher, and it's difficult, as a pitcher to really say how many years... because you never know whether you're going to have a sore arm, whether it's going to go on you or what the problem may be. But as a pitcher, I guess the prime—I'm 24 years old now, and this is my sixth year—and the prime time for a pitcher is 27 to 30.

INTERVIEWER: Well, is there any problem with a sort of feeling of insecurity?

MIKE: Yeah, there is, especially, like I said—my first year. I disciplined myself, and I worked hard—and that's what got me here. And I realize that I have to work hard to stay here. And there is the insecurity.

INTERVIEWER: You're under contract?

MIKE: Right, I'm under contract. But that doesn't necessarily—I mean, they could send me down tomorrow. They could do whatever they wanted with me.

INTERVIEWER: What does it take to play professionally? I'm thinking about the skill. Is it something that you just work hard to get, or is there a natural sort of ability?

MIKE: Well, there's people that have the natural ability, you know. I feel like I didn't have.

INTERVIEWER: So, you think there is something natural... a natural ability.

MIKE: There's a natural ability.

INTERVIEWER: I mean, just working hard isn't enough.

MIKE: I think that's what got me here. I really do. I know there was bad times and then— at one time in this organization, I was a suspect instead of a prospect. And I was told that.

INTERVIEWER: Well, what about the... on the personal side? What's the schedule like for a... for a professional baseball player? Is it full time around the year, or... ?

MIKE: No.

INTERVIEWER: Are there some seasons... ?

MIKE: Well, it depends. Like last winter, after the season was over, I got a phone call from a team in Obregon, Mexico, and they asked me if I wanted to go down and play winter ball down there. So, I...

INTERVIEWER: Hmm.

MIKE: I thought, well it'd be a good chance because there's a lot of big league ball players down there, and I'll get a chance to face big league hitting, so I decided to go down there. And I think it helped me.

INTERVIEWER: How long does the season last here?

MIKE: Okay. This season lasts from April... let's see, April sixth until October second— depending on whether or not you're going to be in the playoffs, and then it runs till, like, October sixteenth, or something like that.

INTERVIEWER: So, you then went to Mexico.

MIKE: Right.

INTERVIEWER: Well, when kids play baseball, it's kind of mostly for fun. Is it still the

same when you're a professional ?

MIKE:It's always fun when you're winning, and right now, you know, we're having our tough time, but I mean, I still enjoy going out every day, and running, and throwing. INTERVIEWER: What's the main attraction, would you say? Uh... because you're doing exactly what you want to do?

MIKE: I think that's the big thing.

听力原文：Interviewee: Everybody always has this misconception that female policemen don't do the same thing as men do, you know. I've worked...

Interviewer: That's not true?

Interviewee: That's not true! I've worked my share of graveyard shifts, and you' know, split shifts, and double-backs and no days off, and...

Interviewer: Uh-huh...

Interviewee: ...as much as the next guy. And... go to...There's no distinction used if there's a male or female officer on duty. Two men on duty--I'll refer to as two men, because in my field there's no difference between the genders. We' re still the same. Okay .... if there's two men on duty--just because one's a female, she still gets in on the same type call. If there's a bar disturbance downtown, then we go too. There's been many times where being the only officer on duty. It's just me and whoever else is on duty in the country. They can come back me up if I need assistance. And it does get a little hairy. You go in there, and you have these great big, huge monster--guys, and they're just drunker than skunks, ... and can't see three feet in front of them. And when they see you, they see fifteen people, and you know.., but still there's enough...

Interviewer: That's where the uniform. is important, I should imagine...

Interviewee: Sometimes,... you know. If somebody is going to-- or has a bad day, and they are out to get a cop, you know, it doesn't matter if you're.., you know,.., boy, girl, infant or anything! When you've got that cop uniform. on, they'll still take it out on you.

Interviewer: Yeah...

Interviewee: But I think there's one advantage to being a female police officer. And that is the fact that most men still have a little respect, and they won't smack you as easy as they would one of the guys.

Interviewer: Uh-huh...

Interviewee: But I'll tell you one thing. I've learned--I'd rather deal with ten drunk men than one drunk woman any day of the week !

Interviewer: Well, why is that...?

Interviewee: Because women are so unpredictable. You cannot ever predict what a woman's going to do.

Interviewer: Hmm...

Interviewee: Especially, if she's agitated, you know...

Interviewer: Emotionally... upset...

Interviewee: Yeah. I saw a lady one time just get mad at the guy she was with because he wouldn't buy her another drink--take off her high heal and lay his head wide open. Yeah! Oh, they can be so vicious, you know.

Now listen to the interview.

听力原文：INTERVIEWER: You're an expert on the urban problem, Mr. Cross. I wonder how you would describe the characteristics of these enormous cities which have sprung up in Asia and Latin America?

INTERVIEWEE: The first point to make is that they are different from large cities in Europe and America.

INTERVIEWER: Surely all large cities are essentially similar.

INTERVIEWEE: It's true that in all large cities there are the same problems of provision of housing and services, but the difference lies in the time factor.

INTERVIEWER: I know some of the cities we are considering are just as old and, in some cases, much older than cities in the United States, for instance.

INTERVIEWEE: Very true, but the large cities of Europe and the United States grew relatively slowly. London had u population of mom than a million at the beginning of the nineteenth century and this number grew for more than a hundred years until it reached its maximum of more than eight million. And this growth was parallel to industrial growth throughout the country. The same is true of New York, for example.

INTERVIEWER: But this in not true of Mexico city or Buenos Aires?

INTERVIEWEE: No, it is not. Throughout Latin America and in parts of Asia, cities have grown much faster than industry, or agriculture for that matter. Some of these cities have quadrupled in size in less than two decades, while industrial growth over the same period may only have reached thirty or forty percent.

INTERVIEWER: What does this mean?

INTERVIEWEE: Essentially that population growth of the employed are out of step. Much of the increase is due to immigration from the land, a movement of people in search of better conditions.

INTERVIEWER: And many fail to find jobs?

INTERVIEWEE: Most find some kind of employment but few find jobs in industry. The greater number are sub-employed, many doing casual jobs such as cleaning cars for tips.

INTERVIEWER: Why can't industry absorb them?

INTERVIEWEE: There are a number of reasons. Law educational standards and lack of training are one reason. The nature of so much modem industry is another.

INTERVIEWER: You mean the kind of jobs industry can offer?

INTERVIEWEE: Much industry today is capital intensive, not labor intensive. An automated factory or plant may produce a great deal but employ few workers.

INTERVIEWER: Are there other causes of growth in these cities?

INTERVIEWEE: Well, we must set the cities and their growth against a background of rising birthrates and falling mortality rates, and these, of course, are closely related to rising standards of public health.

INTERVIEWER: So it seems no easy solution to the problem of these gigantic cities now.

INTERVIEWEE: No.

This interview is mainly about______.

A．large cities in Europe and the United States

B．large cities in Latin America

听力原文：With me today is Charles Andrews from Wisconsin University. Welcome] Charles.

C: Thank you.

I: Charles, you recently started a large research study on training in small businesses. What made you focus on small businesses? After all, most of your experience bas been with the huge multinational Cleantex. And in fact you eventually ran their training department, didn't you?

C: Well, you am partly right. You see, when I joined the university a year ago they wanted me to start a training program for small businesses. I'd just sold my own small business, which I'd started when I left Cleantex. The 8 years I ran ray own business taught me more about training than all my years with Cleantex. But I felt I couldn't base a training program on my experience alone. So I decided to do research first.

I: And how much training did you find in most small companies? Can they afford to do much training?

C: Well, firstly small businesses are often accused of not doing enough training. But that is the opinion of big businesses of course. It's true that the government is encouraging small firms to increase their training bud- gets. They're trying to introduce financial assistance for this. But I have to say I find lots of training going on. The real problem is that most small businesses don't always know how much training they're providing or how much it's actually costing them.

I: But surely businesses have budgets and training records.

C: Unfortunately must small companies don't set aside a specific training budget. It's not that they don't want to spend the money but that they operate differently. You see, things change very quickly in small firms and it's impossible to predict the training needs. An employee can be moved to a new project very suddenly and then training has to be organized within days. And most small businesses prefer to use their experienced staff to do any training on the job.

I: Did you manage to work out the costs of training?

C: Well, it took time to work out the indirect costs. You see, most small business managers don't include these costs in their calculations. Most of them keep records of obvious expenses, like, many expenses like external courses, travel, training manual, and videos, etc. But not many firms have specific training accounts and they don't include the time managers spend on training, waste of materials, loss of productivity and so on. I spent hours with company accountants trying to see where these hidden costs were.

I: How much are small firms spending on training?

C: More than haft of the businesses I surveyed spent at least 1% of their annual salary bill on training. And some of these spent up to 5% of their pay roll. In fact smaller firms are investing on average over 10% more on training per employee than larger firms.

I: How good is that training?

C: As I said, small firms usually get so experienced employee to show new staff how to do that job. This can be useful ff the person is carefully selected and well-trained himself. But it's not really enough. The trainee needs to do the Job with the experienced employee on hand for guidance and feedback. This gets trainees much better skills than any packaged courses.

I: And has your study helped you plan new courses for small businesses?

C: Definitely. I now understand what they want and how they want it delivered. I now know that small firms were only investing in training ff it immediately helped their enterprise. But most formal training focuses on long-term business needs. Most small businesses can't plan far ahead. They want direct results from training in skills t

A．They spend too little on training.

B．They set aside a specific training budget.

C．They receive state subsidies for training.

D．They are unaware of their training expenses.

听力原文：Man: I'm talking to Janet Holmes who has spent many years negotiating for several well-known national and multinational companies. Hello, Janet.

Woman: Hello.

Man: Now Janet, you've experienced and observed the negotiation strategies used by people from different countries and speakers of different languages. So, before we come on to the differences, could I ask you to comment first of all on what such encounters have in common?

Woman: OK, well, I'm just going to focus on the situations where people speak English in international business situations.

Msn: I see. Now not everyone speaks English to the same degree of proficiency. So maybe that affects the situation?

Woman: Yes, perhaps. But that's not always so significant. Well, because, I mean, negotiators between business partners from different countries normally mean that we have negotiations between individuals who belong to distinct cultural traditions.

Man: Oh, I see.

Woman: Well, every individual has a different way of perforating various tasks in everyday life.

Man: Yes, but, but isn't it the case that in a business negotiation they must come together and work together, to a certain extent? I mean, doesn't that level out the style. of... the style. of differences somewhat?

Woman: Oh, I'm not so sure. I mean, there are people in the so-called Western World who say that in the course of the past 30 or 40 years that a lot of things have changed a great deal globally. And that as a consequence national differences have diminished or have got fewer, giving way to some sort of international Americanized style.

Man: Yeah, I've heard that. Now some people say that this Americanized style. has acted as a model for local patterns.

Woman: Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't. Because, on the one hand, there does appear to be a fairly unified, even uniform. style. of doing business, with certain basic principles and preferences -- you know, like 'time is money', that sort of thing. But at the same time it's very important to re member that we all retain aspects of our national characteristics -- but it is actually behavior. that we're talking about here. We shouldn't be too quick to generalize that to national characteristics and stereotypes. It doesn't help much.

Man: Yeah, you mentioned Americanized style. What is particular about the American style. of business bargaining or negotiating?

Woman: Well, I've noticed that, for example, when Americans negotiate with people from Brazil, the American negotiators make their points in a direct self-explanatory way.

Man: I see.

Woman: While the Br. Brazilians make their points in a more indirect way.

Man: How?

Woman: Let me give you an example. Brazilian importers look the people they're talking to straight in the eyes a lot. They spend time on what for some people seems to be background information. They seem to be more indirect.

Man: Then, what about the American negotiators?

Woman: An American style. of negotiating, on the other hand, is far more like that of pointmaking: first point, second point, third point, and so on. Now of course, this isn't the only way in which one can negotiate. And there's absolutely no reason why this should be considered the best way to negotiate.

Man: Right. Americans seem to have a different style, say, even from file British, don't they?

Woman: Exactly. Which just shows how careful you must be about generalizing. I mean, how else can you explain how American negotiators are seen as informal and sometimes much too open? For in British eyes Americans are direct- even blunt.

Man: Is that so?

Woman: Yeah,

A．English language proficiency

B．different cultural practices

C．different negotiation tasks

D．the international Americanized style

听力原文：Jenny: I'm longing to hear about this tour, Victoria. You must be terribly excited.

Victoria: Oh, I am. I...I've never been to America before, so I'm really looking forward to it. I thought of going fly-drive.

Jenny: Fly-drive?

Victoria: Yes. You know, you...you can arrange for a car to be waiting for you at the airport when you arrive. You book everything this end including the plane tickets.

Jenny: Sounds simple enough. Are you going to, then?

Victoria: Well, I'm a bit worried about driving on the other side of the road and having to, so I decided it would be better to go on a more organized holiday.

Jenny: What do you mean by "organized"?

Victoria: Well, everything is arranged by a tour operator, a more organized trip. You know, you are taken around and shown where to go and what to do. I would probably miss half of the sight otherwise.

Jenny: Mm, where are you going anyway?

Victoria: Orlando. It's in central Florida.

Jenny: Sounds OK. Are you going on your own?

Victoria: Yes, I don't mind that. There will be other people on the tour. I'm sure to make friends. You know, I like meeting new people. Here, let me show you the brochure.

Jenny: It looks pretty packed. Do you really have time to do all these things?

Victoria: Oh, yes. It's all planned. Let's see. Day one, we arrive in Orlando. And after we've settled in our hotel, we have the afternoon free. I guess we could have a look around and do what we like.

Then, day two, we go to Disney World.

Jenny: You mean Mickey Mouse and all that?

Victoria: Yes, it's a kind of gigantic funfair with all the Disney characters and there is also the Epcot Centre, uh, a sort of city of the future with all the latest developments. I've always wanted to go there, anything I saw on television. And then, day three, we go to sea world.

Jenny: Whatever is that?

Victoria: Well, there have aquatic displays and performing dolphins and even a whale.

Jenny: Oh, that's quite unusual. Let's see what you do on day four. Oh, it seems to be free.

Victoria: Yes, that's right. And then on the next day we go to the Kennedy Space Centre. That should be interesting.

Jenny: I wonder how much they let you see. That's where NASA is, isn't it?

Victoria: Well, you shouldn't think you'd be able to see the latest spacecraft, but you might be allowed to glimpse some Mission Control, and perhaps how they receive message from satellite. Anyway, I bet you'll know a lot more about the space than you ever knew before.

Jenny: Mm, I quite envy you going there. Somehow, I find it quite hard to believe that people will one day live out in the space.

Victoria: Oh, I don't. I'll give it a try if I have the chance. Now, what's next? Oh, yes, day six. Circus world.

Jenny: Circus world. That sounds fun. I love going to the circus.

Victoria: So do I. It states here, circus world, see, take parts, enjoy. I wonder what "take parts" involves.

Jenny: You'll soon find out.

Victoria: And day seven, we come home. Just as well, I'll be broke by then.

Jenny: I suppose you've been saving up for ages for this holiday.

Victoria: Well, I did think of putting in some extra hours at work, but the money wasn't really worth it after tax, and it would have meant I didn't get home until late. Dad offered to lend me some money but I know he really needs it himself. In the end, I went to see my bank manager. He was terribly nice, so here I am, all booked up and ready to go.

V: Yes. You know, you ... you can arrange for a car to be waiting for you at the airport when you arrive. You book everything this end including the plane tickets.

J: Sounds simple enough. Are you going to, then?

V: Well, I'm bit worried about driving on the other side of the road and having to, so I decided it would be better to go on a more organized holiday.

J. What do you mean by "organized"?

V.. Well, everything is arranged by a tour operator, a more organized trip.

J. What do you mean by "organized"?

V.. Well, everything is arranged by a tour operator. You know, you are taken around and shown where to go and what to do. I would probably miss half the sight otherwise.

J: Mm, where are you going anyway?

V: Orlando. It's in central Florida.

J: Sounds OK. Are you going on your own?

V: Yes, I don't mind that. There will be other people on the tour. I'm sure to make friends. You know, I like meeting new people. Here, let me show you the brochure.

J: It looks pretty packed. Do you really have time to do all these things?

V: Oh, yes. It's all planned. Let's see. Day one, we arrive in Orlando. And after we've settled in our hotel, we have the afternoon free. ! guess we could have a look around and do what we like. Then, day two, we go to Disney World.

J: You mean Mickey Mouse and all that?

V: Yes, it's a kind of gigantic funfair with all the Disney characters and there is also the Epcot Centre, uh, a sort of city of the future with all the latest developments. I've always wanted to go there, anything I saw on television. And then, day three, we go seaworld.

J: Whatever is that?

V: Well, there are aquatic displays and performing dolphins and even a whale.

J: Oh, that's quite unusual. Let's see what you do on day four. Oh, it seems to be free.

V: Yes, that's right. And then on the next day we go to the Kennedy Space Centre. That should be interesting.

J: I wonder how much they let you see. That's where NASA is, isn't it?

V: Well, I shouldn't think you'd be able to see the latest spacecr0ft, but you might be allowed to glimpse some Mission Control, and perhaps how they receive message from satellite. Anyway I bet you'll know a lot more about space than you even know before.

J: Mm, I quite envy you going there. Somehow, I find it quite hard to believe that people will one day live out in space.

V: Oh, I don't. I'll give it a try if I have the chance. Now, what next? Oh, yes, day six. Circus World.

J: Circus World. That sounds fun. I love going to the circus.

V: So do I. It states here, Circus World, see, take parts, enjoy. I wonder what "take parts" involves?

J: You'll soon find out.

V: And day seven, we come home. Just as well, I'll be broke by then.

J: I suppose you've been saving up for ages for this holiday.

V: Well, I did think of putting in some extra hours at work, but the money wasn't really worth it after tax, and it would have meant I didn't get home until late. Dad offered to lend me some money but I know he really needs it himself. In the end, I went to see my bank manager. He was terribly nice, so here I am, all booked up and ready to go.
