7、ies open to those who wish to continue their education. However, nearly all require some break in one's job in order to attend school full time. Part time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, usually lasts a long period of time, As a result, many people find

8、it almost impossible to complete a degree program. In addition, such programs require a fixed time, which can produce some bad effects on one's job and family time.Of the many ways of teaching and learning, however, perhaps distance learning can be said to fit our needs. Distance learning is an

9、educational method, which allows students to study at a speed that is comfortable for them. In this way, students enjoy a good opportunity to achieve the educational goals necessary in today's world. The time required to study can be fixed according to the students' actual needs and wants. I

10、n addition, students can participate in distance learning courses from almost any place in the world. They can receive teachers' help through the online course, by telephone and over the Internet. Good distance learning programs have a lot of benefits. For example, students don't have to tra

11、vel away from home to take a test. The distance learning course is the same as the courses students have at college. The degree offered is also the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. In fact, a good distance learning program is popular not only with the students but also

12、any company or business that wants to work for the educational benefit and business development of the company.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. According to the talk, what is meant by part time education?2' What is one of the major benefits that distance learning

14、 F 3. F 4. F 5. TPassage two In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to get over the fear of making mistakes. If the major goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are second in importance and may be dealt with bit by bit as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the

15、 other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may notice how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions are different from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Chinese speaker who has been saying "I'11 do it" lo express w

16、illingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers, realize that native speakers actually say 'Tll do it," when they mean "right now." The resulting gap can serve as a base for the student to change his way of using the present form in

17、 English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn better.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard, c6. What does the speaker mainly discuss in the talk?7. How can language learners reduce the number of their mistakes

18、?8. What will happen to foreign language learners who do not communicate with native speakers?9. Why shouldn't foreign language learners worry too much about making mistakes?10. What does the speaker say about the use of mistakes in foreign language learning?Key: 6. F 7. T 8. T 9. F 10. FPassage

19、 three Many Chinese students have studied English for more than ten years. However, they are still unable to speak English very well when they meet a native speaker. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uncomfortable. They are afr

20、aid that other people might find out their mistakes. It's common that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to think about their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and positive belief in the

21、mselves. Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those native speakers with whom you are speaking? Don't be shy! They will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of mistakes is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that continual practice will help you

22、 succeed. Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What does this talk mainly discuss?12. Why are so many Chinese students good at writing English but poor at speaking English?13. Why are so many Chinese students afraid to speak to native speakers?14. How can we speak Engl

24、with him? The answer is probably English.Today, nearly 600 million people around the world use the English language. Only half of them speak English as their first language. Why is English useful for international communication? For one thing, many books and papers in special fields are in English.

25、As a result, people with great knowledge in these special fields often learn English. Such people from different countries can use their English for international communication. English is really a world language.Key: 1. C 2. A 3.B 4.C 5.DPassage two Many people go to school for an education. They l

26、earn languages, history, political methods, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn skills in order to make a living. Traditional education is very useful and important. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot t

27、each his students everything they want to know. The teacher's main job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to

28、 remember some facts or a formula. It is quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn't get everything from school. Edison didn't even finish junior school.

29、He made so many things for us. These scientists were so successful, but their teachers only showed them the way. The reason for their success was that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments

30、. They worked hard ail their lives, wasting not a single moment. Most important was that they knew how to use their brains. Kay: 6.

31、 in an English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about a word: the pronunciation, the part of speech, the Chinese meaning and how to use this word. But how can you know where to find a word among thousands of English words? How do you find it both quickly and correctly in the dictionary?Fir

32、st, all the English words are listed in alphabetical order. In the dictionary, first you will see all the words beginning with the letter A, followed by those beginning with B, C, and D and so on. That means with two words like "desert" and "pull", "desert" must come be

33、fore "pull". Then, if two words both begin with the same letter, you look at the second letter, then the third, the fourth and so on. For example, "pardon" comes before "plough", "judge" before "just", and so on.Do you understand now how to look up a

34、 word in a dictionary? The dictionary will be your good friends. I hope you'll use it as often as possible in your English learning.Key: 11.D 12. D 13. A 14. B 15.

Young people thought true success was a matter of self-sati

42、sfaction. And self-satisfaction included reaching one's goals and achieving happiness in one's own way without paying attention to rules, duties, or the opinions of others. Most parents found it hard to accept their children's thinking. They themselves had been brought up to respect trad

43、itional values; they had also learned to respect money because it was hard to find during their teenage years. They had married in the late 1930s or early 1940s, at a time when it was difficult to give their children a carefree life. A married couple's first duty, therefore, was to think of thei

44、r children's happiness. If the parents felt tired and unsatisfied, they didn't dare admit it: it was not done. On the other hand, while Mom and Dad were going without things, they expected their children to obey the rules of "nice" manners, and to grow up into adults that make pare

45、nts proud. These were the very ideas against which the young rebels of the 1960s rebelled.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. According to the passage, what did children think of their parents?2. What was true success according to young people?3. What did most parents le

47、tive and finding fault. I mustn't break in when he's talking. It's not polite. He doesn't like my clothes. "Nice girls don't dress like that." I shouldn't wear makeup. "Existing beauty is best." Sometimes he disturbs my homework. "When I was young we

48、used to do maths differently," he says. Honestly, he's so old he doesn't know anything. But that doesn't stop him from finding fault with me. He doesn't like my friends or my favorite records. "You're making too much noise," he calls, "I can't get to sleep

49、." When he's not being negative, he asks questions, "Where are you going? Where have you been? Why aren't you helping your mother?" He thinks I'm six, not sixteen. Anyway, why can't I do what I like? It's my life, not his. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage

53、says that she needs a break. "Mom follows me everywhere. She follows me from room to room when I clean. She sits down next to me when I read the newspaper. She even follows me out of the house when I take out the refuse. I need a break and she does, too." And so, several times a week, Davi

54、d and Ann's families take them to the Adult Day Care Center. Many hospitals now offer this program.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Who are David Brown and Ann Ramos?12. What does the speaker say about Ann Ramos?13. What's wrong with David?14. How often do

FTask 2 Passage one When I was a child there were some people whose ideas I respected. My uncle John, I thought, knew everything about the world; he had traveled and

56、seen all there was to see. I believed anything he told me about places like Japan, Australia and America. When I was 16 years old I got the idea that my parents, while they were very nice people and I loved them, really didn't know very much. I, of course, knew everything. Then, when I was 18, I

57、 realized my mother and father had learned a lot in just two years. I now respected their opinions on different subjects. It took two years of growing up for me to realize that they had had these opinions and ideas all the time. Key：1 A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5 APassage Two Nine out often parents hit their chi

58、ldren according to a report printed today. But many of them also feel that hitting is wrong. The report also says that parents often do not understand their children's bad ways. Although about nine out of ten parents use hitting as a punishment, half of them feel shame about using it, while the

59、other half do hit their children and think they are right. It seems most parents we talked to hit their children more than once a week and five percent actually hit their children every day. Parents should make more efforts to understand their children; hitting isn't always the best answer if ch

60、ildren are bad. If parents tried harder to understand how their children feel and why they act in certain ways, it would be better not to hit them because when a child's acting badly, she/he needs love and attention, not anger and violence.KEY: 6.
