W: I’d like to see the menu again, please. M: Here you are, miss. The chocolate cake is delicious. W: No, thanks. I don’t like chocolate. I’d rather have a pineapple pie. M: I’m afraid there isn’t any more today. W: Then I’d like to have an apple pie. M: I’m sorry, but that’s gone, too. W: How about some fresh fruit? M: We don’t have any fresh fruit today. All we have now is chocolate cake. W: Then I’ll just have a cup of coffee, please. M: Fine. I’ll bring it right away. 听第7段材料，回答第8至10题。 Text 7 W: I have found a job at a hotel. But it doesn’t sound interesting. M: How much will they pay you? W: 240 dollars a week. M: I’d take it if I were you. You have been looking for a job for a long time and this is the first one you’ve found. W: But it is not what I wanted. M: But you need a job, don’t you? W: Maybe I can find a better job tomorrow. M: It’s possible, but you can always move to another job if you don’t like it. W: Well, I’ll think about it. 听第8段材料，回答第11至13题。 Text 8 W: I am fed up with studying English, Mr. Black. It seems so impossible for me to learn the grammar. I am such a failure. M: Oh, Kate. Don’t be so discouraged. Take a seat, please. W: I am so tired. Maybe I should drop out before it kills me. M: Now, look, Kate. All of you began to study it not so long ago, uh … just for a couple of months. Everyone began from reading “A, B, C…” just like you. Everything is difficult in the beginning to everyone. W: I know that, Mr. Black. But I can’t focus on it. M: Maybe you are thinking too much about the grammar. But that is not the most important thing in learning. Just relax. Practice and communicate with others more. And then you may find they are just like you too. W: Is that true? M: Yes. Just keep calm and keep trying. W: OK. Thank you very much, Mr. Black. M: You are welcome. 听第9段材料，回答第14至16题。 Text 9 M: Hi, Jane. It’s nice to see you again. I heard that you went to the U. S. during the vacation. W: Yes, I went to New York to attend a summer course in English. M: Wow. You were lucky. How long did you stay there? W: About 50 days. I went there on July 5th and came back on August 25th. M: Where did you live in New York? W: Oh, I lived with an American family, the Smiths. They were very kind people. Shortly after I arrived, we became good friends. And, living in their house, I could speak English with them every day. Besides, I didn’t need to worry about my daily three meals. They looked after that. M: How nice! And how about the course? W: The course was also very good. The teachers were nice. They taught us to listen, speak, read and write in English, but it was mostly speaking. One interesting thing I found was that the American classes are different from our classes here because they are very free. You can sit anywhere you like in the classroom. You can ask the teacher questions at any time during the class. And you are welcome to share your ideas with the class. I really like this kind of class. M: How interesting! Maybe our teacher should try that. 听第10段材料，回答第17至20题。 Text 10 Now, you want to know about life in the past. Right? I can tell you. When I was a boy, things were different. I had to get up at six every morning. That was not very bad in summer, but in winter it was cold. And we didn’t have any hot water in the house. We had to wash in cold water. We didn’t have a bathroom. My dad had some chickens. I had to feed them every morning and then I had to walk to school with my little sister. It was two miles to school and two miles back in the evening. But it always seemed longer in the morning when we were going to school. There was a bus, but we didn’t have the money. And we had to go to bed at seven o’clock every night. We couldn’t watch TV because there wasn’t any. On Sundays we had to go to church three times—morning, afternoon and evening. And we couldn’t play outside on Sundays. But it wasn’t all bad. We had some good times. We could go out and our parents didn’t have to worry about us. There weren’t so many cars on the roads then. So the streets were safe to play in. And there were not many robbers and thieves in those days. We had to work hard and we weren’t able to buy those things in the shops today. Life was hard, but it was simple and people were happier. (责任编辑：admin) |
