Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to Beijing
Hotel. First of all, let me tell you something
about our hotel. There are 38
people in our

and computers. We will have nine programmes this
evening. There will be some short
plays,
singing and dancing and so on. I hope you will
enjoy them and have a good time.
Thank you.

F-
What kind of a car do you have?
M- An old
one.
F- I know it's old, but what make is it?
M- It's a Chevrolet. Why do you ask? You going
into the car business?
F-Nothing like that.
My cousin is going to take a job overseas and he
can't take his car with
him, so he's going to
sell it cheap.
Question: why does the woman’s
cousin want to sell his car?
12)
F-Would you like some cookies? I just made
them.
M- Thank you. Yes, I would.
F-These are chocolate, and those are vanilla.
This time I didn’t make strawberry ones.
M- I
guess I'll try a chocolate one first.
F-Mmmm... this is delicious. Are they hard to
make?
M-No, they're really quite easy.
Question: which kind of cookies didn’t the
woman make?
13)
F-When did you get
here?
M- Just a few minutes ago.
F-
We've been waiting for almost an hour.
M- I'm
sorry, but I had car trouble--a flat tire.
F-Oh. That's too bad. Couldn't you have
telephoned?
M- I was going to, but I didn't
have any change for a pay phone.
Question: Why
didn’t the man make a phone call?
14)
F-Where on earth are we?
M- Judging by
all the traffic, I'd say we're near the heart of
the downtown area.
F-What did I do wrong? Did
I take a wrong turn?
M- I'm not sure, but I
think that you turned left when you should have
turned right.
F-Well, now the problem is how
to get back onto the main highway.
M- Well,
if I may offer a suggestion ... Why don't you stop
and ask a policeman?
F-Yeah,
yeah, yeah, I think I see one up there in the
next block.
Question: What will they
probably do next?
15)
M--Do you want black
or white coffee?
F--White, please.
M--
Look! There's a folk concert tomorrow evening. Do
you want to go?
F--I don't like folk music
very much.
M--What kind of music do you like?
F--I like classical music. Do you?
M--Not
very much. Classical music sends me to sleep.
Question: what does the man think about
classical music?
16)
M--Yes, madam.
Can I help you?
F--Yes, please. Yesterday my
daughter bought this skirt from this shop. I'd
like to change it.
Here, I've got the receipt.
M--What's the problem?
F--I'm afraid it
doesn't fit. It's a size 12 and it's too small.
M--Mm. Then perhaps you ought to try a size
14.
Question: Who bought the skirt from the
shop?
17)
F--You're not looking very
cheerful. What's the matter with you?
M--Oh,
nothing special. I'm just a bit fed up.
F--
With the job?
M--With everything, with
catching the same train every morning, sitting in
the same office all
day watching the same
television programmes...
F--Maybe you need a
holiday.
Question: What does “fed up” mean
in this dialogue?
18)
M--What's on
the box tonight, does anyone know?
F--Oh
nothing much. There's Panorama at eight for an
hour.
M--Oh good.
F--And then there's the
football at nine twenty-five. I want to see that.
M--Oh not again! just a minute--what time does
it finish? The last part of that thriller's on the
other side at a quarter to eleven. I'd like to
see that.
F--Well the football ends at eleven.
Question: What time will the football begin
tonight?
19)
F--I'm sorry, Sam.
I don't want to go to the folk concert.

do that.

tomorrow?

have you been in Britain?
F--Ooh--I've been
here since 1972.
Question: How long has the
woman been in Britain?
4. Passage 1
When I lived in Spain, I was surprised at how
late people eat in the evening. When you’re
invited to dinner, you are asked to come
around 9 o’clock and you usually don’t start
dinner
at until ten, and sometimes they finish
eating after two o’clock in the morning. I found
it
difficult. How does one get up and go to
work or school the next day after eating and
drinking until two o’clock in the morning?
Passage 2
Attention, please. We have
a lost boy named Marshall who was found in the
sporting goods
section of our store, and he’s
looking for his mom. He’s five years old, and he’s
wearing a
black and white T-shirt, black
trousers, and a white baseball cap. The mother can
find him at
the office room on the third
floor. Thank you.
Passage 3
People in
different countries make different kinds of words.
Today there are about one
thousand and five
hundred languages in the world. Each has thousands
of words. A very large
dictionary has four or
five hundred thousand words. But we do not need
all these words. To
read short stories you
need to know only about two thousand words. Before
you leave school,
you will learn only one
thousand more.
Passage 4
We do not
know when men first began to use salt. But we do
know that it has been used in
many different
ways through old history. For example, people who
lived over 3,000 years ago
ate salted fish.
Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to
preserve the dead. Stealing
salt was
considered a major crime during some periods of
history. In 18
th
century for instance,
if a person was account stealing salt, he
could be put in jail.
5. Balloons have
been used for sport for about 100 years. There are
two kinds of sport balloons,
gas
and hot-air. Hot-air balloons are safer than gas
balloons, which may catch fire. Hot-air
balloons are preferred by most balloonists in
the United States because of their safety. They
are also cheaper and easier to manage than gas
balloons. Despite the ease of operating a
balloon, pilots must watch the weather
carefully. Sport balloon flights are best early in
the
morning or late in the afternoon when the
wind is proper. Over the years, balloonists have
tried unsuccessfully to cross the Atlantic. It
wasn’t until 1978, that three American balloonists
succeeded. It took them just 6 days to make
the trip, from their homes in the United States to
Paris, France. Their voyage captured the
imagination of the whole world.
6. The
story goes that some time ago, a man punished his
3-year-old daughter for wasting a
piece of
gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became
angry when the child tried to
decorate a box
to put under the Christmas tree.
But he
little girl brought the gift to her father the
next morning and said,
Daddy.
the box was
empty. He shouted at her, you know that when you
give someone a
present, there's supposed to be
something inside it?
The little girl looked up
at him with tears in her eyes and said,
blew
kisses into the box. All for you, father was
crushed. He put his arms
around his little
girl, and he begged the girl to forgive him.
It is told that the man kept that gold box by
his bed for years and whenever he was sad, he
would take out an imaginary kiss and remember
the love of the child who had put it there.
7. One Easter Sunday, all the kids arrived
with big eyes and big stories about what the
Easter
Bunny had brought. While all of the
kids shared their stories with delight, one young
boy,
whom I will call Bobby, sat quietly. One
of the teachers, noticing this, said to him,
did the Easter Bunny bring you?
Easter
Bunny couldn't get inside.
Bobby's mom was a
single parent, and she suspected that they just
couldn't afford the Easter
Bunny.
After
Sunday School was over, everyone went off to
church. When my dad came to meet us
my mom
announced that we were going home instead. At
home, she explained that to make
Bobby feel
better, we were going to pretend to be the Easter
Bunny and make a basket of
goodies for him and
leave it at church. We all donated some of our
candies to the basket, and
headed back up to
church. There, mom unzipped his coat, hung the
basket over the hanger, and
zipped up the coat
and attached a note.
Dear Bobby,
I'm sorry
I missed your house last night. Happy Easter.
Love,
The Easter Bunny
American
football is different from the European football
and some people think that it is
better. Now
there’s a new kind of football or soccer which is
played in America. It’s called car
soccer. The
players drive small cars, which are called
Beetles. The players try to catch the ball
in
their cars. The cars are protected all since they
often crash into each other. The ball is larger
than the usual one and the
players are protected, too. In 1985, the First
European car soccer
match took place in West
Germany. Teams from some countries in European
played in the
match. The Beetles raced around
the ground madly while the spectators shouted “the
ball is
behind you”. When the match ended,
three cars had been crashed into pieces. And the
players
as well as many of the spectators were
badly hurt and had to be taken to hospital. Will
this car
soccer become as popular as football?
I doubt.
