My View on On-campus College Students’ Marriage
It is a new thing that Chinese on-campus college students are legally allowed to get married before they complete their courses. Many people applaud this new development while others have expressed their concern about this.
Those who disapprove of this new trend believe that college stundents will inevitably have less time and energy for their academic life. One common argument, however, for on-compus college students’ marriage is that a number of students do have a desire for an ideal marriage. Now that they have come of age, they are entitled to such happiness.
Of the two views discussed above, I’m in favor of the former. My reason is that on-campus students are laden with academic tasks. If one gets married now, he or she has to work much harder than other students because they have to solve their financial problems at the same time. As a married couple, for instance, they are supposed to rent a room in or outside the university, which will naturally add to their spending.
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
1. C 由题干关键词The true art of networking 及 promote mutual success 可将答案定位至第二段末句:No,I’m talking about the art of networking,based upon respectful and caring relationships that promote mutual success. 原文指出,人际关系网络技巧是在互敬互爱的基础之上,从而促进双方的成功,based upon“建立在…之上”, 从而得出答案为C。
2. B 由题干的人名关键词Margaret Wheatley 可将答案定位至第一个小标题下第一段末尾:Just think of the words of Margaret Wheatley:“Relationships are all there is ...We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.”原文指出了玛格丽特??惠特利的观点,即宇宙中任何事物都是联系中存在着,没有事物可以完全孤立,我们也不能再假装认为我们是可以独立生活的个体。从而强调了人与人之间联系及合作的重要性,四个个选项中只有选项B表达了这个意思。
3. A 由题干关键词business contacts 可将答案定位至第一个小标题下第三段。由本段最后一句:I guarantee your work will become easier and more joyful if you make more of your business relationships personal. business contacts 指在生意上的合作伙伴,原文指出,如果能把工作关系变得更加私人化,那么工作将更加简单而快乐。make something+adj., 表示“使…变得…”,四个选项中,只有A的表达与之相同。
4. D 题干关键词humble experiences 与原文humble beginnings 意义相近,可将答案定位至第一小标题下第五段第一、二句。由第二句They immediately empathize and feel more endeared to me than ever before. 原文表明,当作者把自己的卑微经历告诉人们之后,并没有得到大家的嘲笑和瞧不起,相反,由于大家的身同感受反而使彼此的距离更加拉近了,humble experiences与humb beginnings是同义转述,表示自己过去卑微的经历,四个选项中,只是D项的表述与原文一致。
5. B 由题干关键词plan和first thing可将答案定位至第二小标题下第一段第三句:So,first,do some deep introspection to find your Blue Flame,the thing in life that really lights your fire.句中的Blue Flame,the thing that really lights your fire指的是生命中最重要的事情,因此答案为B
6. C 由题干关键词the key to success可将答案定位至第三个小标题下第二段中的I’ll sum up the key to success in one word:Generosity.根据作者的观点及总结,通往成功的秘诀只有一个:给予。故答案自然为C
7. A 由题干关键词 the era of that Networking Jerk is over可将答案定位至第三个小标题下第三段:The era of that Networking Jerk is over. I learned that the hard way. Once,a mentor of mine said to me,“Stop driving yourself-and everyone else-crazy thinking about how to make yourself successful. Start thinking about how you’re going to make everyone around you successful.” the era of that Networking Jerk指小人得道的年代。原文指出,任何人都不应该疯狂地只向往自己的成功,应该想一想,怎样才能帮助周围的人成功,这与上一道题所指出的成功地秘诀“给予”所表示的意思一样,因此本题选A
8. higher-order passion 由题干关键词deep expertise 可将答案定位至第三个小标题下第五段第三句:If you want to become more valuable… you must develop expertise in your mind and root some higher-order passion in your heart. 此处应填入名词性成分,与deep expertise 一起用作介词with的宾语,原文中的develop deep expertise与root some higher-order passion是表示并列的两个动作行为,因此根据题干句意,此处应填入higher-order passion,表示“更高涨的热情”。
9. your favorite activities 由题干关键词improve relationships 可将答案定位至第四个小标题下第二段:...building and deepening relationships will take no extra time than you already devote to your favorite activities,and people will see you in your best light.此处应填入名词性成分,作为介词to的宾语,原文指出应与大家一起分享你的激情,而这并不会占用或减少你做自己最喜欢的事情的时间。相反,会让大家看到你最闪光的一面。题干中的see you at your best 与文中的see you in your best light属同义转述,根据原文意思。此处应填入your favorite activities.
10. team up 由题干关键词effort 和success 可将答案定位至第四个小标题下末段首句:Just as people lose weight more effectively if they have a workout partner, your onging efforts to build relationships will be more successful if you team up. 此处应填入动词原形,原文中用锻炼的例子作为类比,表明如果合作起来, 那么人际关系的网络将会建立得更加成功,因此此处应填入team up。

Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A),B),C) and D),and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
11.M: I need a DVD-player, but I don’t know where to buy them in this town.
W:As I was telling you, in our town where you shop depends largely on what you need. If you want a DVD-player, your best bet would probably be the store at the end of Shake Street.
Q: What can be inferred from the conversation ?
12.M: Excuse me. Are the frozen foods on special today ?
W: Yes, they’re a bargain today, and so is the dairy section.
Q: Where are the two speakers ?
13.M:I bet our team wil win the game. We’re already four scores ahead of the other team.
W:You can never tell. It’s still a bird in the bush.
Q:What does the woman mean ?
14.M:So many people applied for this job… I’ve made a list of six who are good possibilities. We should call them in for an interview. Will next Wednesday do ?
W:Next Wednesday, all right.
Q:Who are the two speaker talking about ?
15.M: Julia, your work is too messy!
W:I’ll pay attention to my handwriting next time. By the way, will I have to take a make-up exam next week ?
Q:Who is the man most probably speaking to ?
16.M:Excuse me, I’m afraid you came to the wrong table. This is not what I ordered. I ordered salad, but you brought me ice-cream.
W:I’m very sorry, I made a mistake.
Q:What does the man complain about ?
17.M:John’s business is on the rocks, and he’s very upset about it. Shall we go and cheer him up ? He needs someone to advise him.
W:Mind you own business ! He doesn’t need your advice at this moment, and he doesn’t want to see anyone.
Q:What are the speakers probably going to do ?
18.M:I have to admit you have a beautiful garden. How do you do it ? You must have hired a gardener.
W:No,I’d never do that. Working in the garden is the greatest form of relaxation that I know of !You’re got to love working in the garden―that’s my serect !
Q:Why does the woman have a beautiful garden ?
Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W:What did you think about the movie ?
M:Well… I think Harry Potter Ⅴ is an excellent piece of work . But not as good as the previous ones.
W:Really ? I don’t agree. I think it was incredible !
M:Why do you think so ?
W:Well, one of the most spectacular things about it is the special effects.
M:You’re right. The special effects created so many fantastic settings and mysterious costumes,
weapons and creatures. The sprecial effects are the main reason for the success of this movie.
W:It’s kind of cool that they still use the themes song for this movie.
M:Yearh! It reminds me of the previous scenes.
W:I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me feel homesick.
M:I thought the overall plot of the movie was very interesting. But I don’t think the character development was that strong .They just don’t have a lot of funny or meaningful dialogues.The writing was a little boring and this may be the only one weakness of this movie.
W:Well, maybe, but I like the little kid who played young “Anakin Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that role.
M:I like him too. He’s so cute !You know, even though I was slightly disappointed, I can’t wait for the next episode. I wonder when they’re going to start making it and when it’s scheduled for release.
W:I have no idea. But I hope it’ll be even better than this one.
M:I hope so, too.
19.What are the two speakers talking about ?
20.What does the man think about the episode, compared with the previous ones ?
21.What is vital to the success of this movie ?
22.According to the man, what is the weakness of this movie ?
Conversation Two
W:I feel very excited that there are only less than 300 days left for 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
M:Yeah, I can’t wait to watch the games.
W:So do me. Will you book the tickets ?
M:Of course ! I would love to watch the Opening Ceremonies and some ball games. One of my
favorites is the Olympic Flame.
W:That’s always spectacular, isn’t it ? I think it’s a great tradition to start each Olympic with a new flame and then have the athletes and others pass the torch.
M:Did you know that to follow an ancient tradition, the Olympic Committee lights the flame on Mount Olympial using a mirror to focus the sun’s light ?
W:I didn’t realize … it would be nice to attend the lighting ceremony. I think it would be more fun, though, to run through the streets with the torch and pass it to someone else.
M:Sounds like you’ve caught the spirit of it. Today, passing the flame is meant to pass light and wisdom onto others.
W:Yeah. What I find also amazing is that the flame stays lit the whole period of the Olympic Games. Obviously, the Olympic Committee takes extra precaution to make sure the flames won’t die.
M:I guess that’s a key part of the tradition.
23.What is the man’s favorite
24.What lights the Olympic Flame
25.What does the flame stand for
