3、as a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment.

10、it is really not very “grand,” but it is cheap, clean, and comfortable. Since he knows the manger well, he never has to go to the trouble of reserving a room. The fact is that he always gets the same room. It is situated at the far end of the building and overlooks a beautiful bay. On his last visit
11、, Mr. Smith was told that he could have his usual room, but the manager added apologetically that it might be a little noisy. So great was the demand for rooms, the manager said, that the hotel had decided to build a new wing. Mr. Smith said he did not mind. It amused him to think that the dear old
12、Grand Hotel was making an effort to live up to its name. During the first day Mr. Smith hardly noticed the noise at all. The room was a little dusty, but that was natural. The following afternoon, he borrowed a book from the hotel library and went upstairs to read. No sooner had he sat down than he
13、heard someone hammering loudly at the wall. At first he paid no attention, but after a while he began to feel very uncomfortable. His clothes were slowly being covered with fine white powder.

For
19、 ten years, the fiercely independent and courageous mother had fought, but none of the surgeries or treatments had been successful. At only fifty-five, she became totally disabled- unable to speak, walk, eat or dress on her own. As the mother grew closer and closer to death, the baby grew closer and
20、 closer to life. Jane was afraid that her mother and her baby would never know each other. Her fear seemed well-founded. A few weeks before her due date, her mother lapsed into a deep coma. The doctors did not hold any hope. It was useless to put in a feeding tube, they said, for Mother would never
21、awaken. So Jane brought Mother to her own bed in her own house. As often as she could, she sat beside her mother, talking about the baby moving inside her. On February 3, 1989, at about the same time Jane began to feel birth pains, Mother opened her eyes. Jane called home. “Mom, listen. My baby is c

23、, smiled and held the new-born baby. Then she quietly became unconscious and, after visits from all her children, was finally free of the pain. For Jane, memories of her sons birth will always be bittersweet, but it was at this time that she learned an important truth about living. While both joy an
24、d sorrow pass quickly, and often come together at the same time, love has the power to overcome both. And love can last forever.2005:Task1: Retelling a storyA little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.One night there was a fire in the house and th

30、rman. A man came forward from the back of the hall. He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain. When he got to the front of the room, he stood directly in front of the little girl and held out his arms. His hands and arms were terribly scarred.The child cried out. “This is the man who rescued me!”
31、With a leap, she threw her arms around the mans neck. She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed for a few moments. Then she looked up and smiled at him.Task2: Talking on a given topicDirection: Please tell us one incident in which someone was trying to help others despite danger to his own safe

36、 school in Bolivia. Pat spoke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with her students even though they did not know much English. A sentence she had once read somewhere stuck in her mind: if you dream in a foreign language, it means that you have really mastered it. Pat repeated this sent
