Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文： [26] Americans who remember "the good old days" are not alone in complaining about the educational System in this country. Immigrants complain, too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the first mathematics test given to his son as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan who teach mathematics at more advanced level.
[27] But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation? When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the world's major cities. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed. Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not be able to think or to believe in themselves. Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. [28] America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education is not perfect, but it is better than any other.
(27)
A．The Japanese mathematic teachers.
B．Both the speaker and his German friend.
C．Both Americans and immigrants.
D．The son of the speaker's German friend.

Investing in the stock market has always been more profitable man putting money into a traditional savings account. However, it is only in the last few years that private share ownership has become accepted as a reliable form of investment. There are many reasons why more and more people are buying shares. To begin with, the whole process is now far more flexible and user-friendly and public awareness of investment products and their tax implications is a lot higher. Even more importantly, this awareness means people now realize that in the medium to long-term shares are far more lucrative than deposit accounts. Today, people are also more likely to invest in a company for ethical reasons or as a show of support for that company.
When deciding to invest in shares, it is essential to think about your objectives. In order to avoid an expensive mistake, you need to consider your existing short-and long-term financial commitments and how quickly you expect to see a return on your investment. Most importantly, you need to decide the extent to which you are prepared to speculate and then select the investment products which best reflect your attitude towards the perils inherent in any stock market investment.
Recently, newspapers have been full of stories of investors realizing massive profits, usually in connection with the flood of Internet companies that have issued shares in the last 12 months. Such companies, however, are anything but a safe investment. Although people have been attracted by the phenomenal rate at which these companies are expanding, many investors have seen their shares fall well below the issue price within months of buying them.
Private investors unwilling to tolerate high levels of risk can reduce this uncertainly by buying shares in blue chip companies, which are established organizations such as banks or large international corporations. Although such an investment may minimize risk, it also limits the potential profits. Some investors try to remove the element of risk by closely monitoring stock market movements on a dally basis or by paying a regular sum into a managed fund over a long period of time. However, no matter how carefully people follow the markets or what expert advice they receive, statistics show that the safest option is to spread risk by investing in a wide range of different companies across different sectors.
As a first-time investor, it is Vital to seek professional advice. Consultants can provide information on how to invest in the most attractive companies in both the UK and overseas. They can explain how stocks, shares, unit trusts and bonds actually work, how much each type of investment costs and, most importantly, which products best match their clients’ requirements.
One reliable way of managing-investments is through a broker, who charges a brokerage fee in the form of a percentage of the money invested. An alternative method is to deal in shares on the Internet. This incurs none of the regular broker’s commission and investors can therefore easily afford to buy and sell shares more regularly. However, although some potential investors may find online trading exciting, they should be aware that direct trading is perhaps the least secure way of approaching the stock market, with few investors having the necessary skills and knowledge to make any profit whatsoever, never mind the fortunes popularized by the media.

As Iraq struggles to recover from conflict and severe economic hardship to a society that is once again able to stand on its own two feet, the United nations has convened a meeting on 23, June to ensure that the Iraqis immediate humanitarian needs are met and the transition to longer-term reconstruction is fully underway by the beginning of the next year.
Indeed, such actions and achievements in responding to anticipated humanitarian needs in Iraq have played a crucial role in averting a much larger potential crisis. Even as the conflict was underway, national UN staff continued to carry out their duties. Aid activities under the Oil for Food Programme in Iraq’s three northern govern orates never stopped.1 National staff of the World Food Programme worked to open corridors from Turkey, Jordan and Iran into Iraq.2UNICEF local staff delivered humanitarian supplies and worked to maintain the supply of potable water.3WHO local staff supported Iraqi health professionals.4 Under the Oil for Food Programme, UNDP worked to maintain and restore electric power supplies, especially in the north.5
As of today, more than 800, 000 metric tonnes of food—enough to feed almost all of Iraq’s 27 million people for two months have been dispatched to Iraq.6 An average of 3.5 million litres of water per day is being tankered7 to hospitals, health centres and communities in the south and in the Baghdad area. Basic medicines, vaccines and health supplies have been delivered8 to facilities throughout the country. Agencies have helped repair and restore water, sanitation and power facilities, as well as schools, which have also been receiving essential education supplies.
But great needs remain. Due to the lack of a functioning economy, combined with prolonged reliance on the ration system, virtually all of the population of Iraq will require food aid in the short run in order to survive.9 The Flash Appeal for Iraq, asking for$2. 2 billion to cover needs for six months, was issued in March. Generous donor funding (approximately$900 million), and access to the resources of the Oil for Food Programme ($1. 1 billion), have meant that $2 billion is already available for humanitarian aid for the people of Iraq. The revised humanitarian appeal for Iraq seeks to meet the needs of the Iraqi people up to the end of the year. Given the healthy funding status, only an additional US $259 million is required.
Food aid alone accounts for two-thirds of the aid being requested through the Appeal. While the food sector, accounting for some $1.56 billion, is fully funded,10 funding is still required for equally important interventions in other sectors. Most essential needs must be still met: health care; clean water and sanitation; electricity; infrastructure repair; shelter; mine action and mine awareness; education; food security and agriculture; assistance for internally displaced persons and returning refugees. Given the urgent needs in other parts of the world in much of Africa, Afghanistan, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, as well as other places, it is essential that donor countries ensure that contributions to Iraq are in addition to and not in place of— funding for other emergencies.

问答题Practice 1Directions: In this part of the test, you will answer three questions based on the information provided. You will have 30 seconds to read the information before the questions begin. For each question, begin responding immediately after you hear a beep. No additional preparation time is provided. You will have 15 seconds to respond to Questions 1 and 2 and 30 seconds to respond to Question 3.Practice 1 Question 1: How much are tickets? Question 2: I heard Time Against Time was coming out. Is it playing there yet? Question 3: I might not be able to go to the theater until 7:30. Which movies are playing at around that time?正确答案： 1: It’s eight dollars and ninety-five cents for adult tickets. And for kids, it’s five dollars and ninety-five cents.
或:An adult ticket is eight ninety-five and a ticket for a child is five ninety-five.
解 析:解答本类题型最重要的是从屏幕显示的文件或日程表中快速找到问题对应的部分从而作答。本题问How much…询问的是价格,所以在日程表下面找到票价作答。记住dollar和cent后面要加复数-s,dollar和cent之间要用and连接。
2:Yes, it is playing in the theater, and it plays at several different times.
或:Yes, it is being shown at the theater at present.
解 析:本部分的问题通过录音形式播放,不会显示在屏幕上,所以更要集中注意力听好。这道题用不含疑问词的疑问句提问,所以首先要回答Yes或No,再做进一步必要的说明。虽然可以直接使用提问中的is playing表示“上映”,但此处使用is being shown更体现多样的表达能力。
3:Well, you have many choices. At seven forty, Geneva is playing and five minutes later, Whispers in the Silence is playing. And a little bit later, at ten to eight, Rabbit Stew is going to start.
或:At seven forty we’re showing Geneva, and Whispers in the Silence will start five minutes later. You could also see Rabbit Stew at seven fifty.
解 析:本题要求考生综合所给的事件或信息进行说明。以上问题询问某个特定时间段有些什么电影,所以要恰当使用时间状语从句回答。说时间时,除了答案中所用的方法外,还可使用以下这种方法。7:40 twenty to eight;7:45 quarter to eight;7:50 ten to eight。解析： 暂无解析 -
