For questions 1-8, choose the best answer (A, B or C). 1 【听力原文】 Interviewer: So, do you have a favourite movie? Director: Oh . thats difficult. Well .

17、I think it has to be The Agents, the Mel Rivers movie. I like it because it reminds you that no matter how hard life is, or how many times you get knocked down by bad situations, things can get a whole lot worse. Interviewer: When did you first see it? Director: On television, late one night. I must

18、 have been about 16. There were moments when I just couldnt stop laughing. Its anarchic and silly, but its very warm. I love the friendship that develops between the two main characters. 1 【正确答案】 A 2 【听力原文】 Man: I think this is the last time Im buying anything from that shop. I cant believe how inef

19、ficient they are! But theyve got reasonable prices. The next time I buy a sofa Id be prepared to pay double to avoid all this stress. They came to deliver it, and when I saw it I thought this isnt the sofa I chose, maybe the colour looks different in daylight. But it was mine. And then I realised th

20、at part of the cover at the back was torn and the filling was coming out. So I got them to take it away and now I have to wait two weeks to get it replaced. 2 【正确答案】 C 3 【听力原文】 Man: Most actors start out with a bit of a regional or non-standard accent of some sort, but what tends to happen is that,

21、at drama school, part of the training is to acquire whats called standard English. So you lose your original accent and when somebody says, you know, Do something in your old voice, it takes a couple of minutes to click in and get your head round it again. I phone my parents and they say, My, you so

22、und so English, but then over here, I sometimes dont get work because people can hear that Im actually Australian, so Ive got a bit more work to do there. 3 【正确答案】 B 4 【听力原文】 Interviewer: Can you still remember the thrill of it? I mean the first time you actually ride out there, out in front must be

23、 . Man: Yeah, yeah, it was certainly a big thrill, but it was an evening event. It was the last race and it was almost dark by the time wed finished and when I got home it was about ten or eleven oclock, so there was very little time to think about it or do anything. And I had to be up at about half

24、 five the next day for my job, so unfortunately it was straight back to work really. 4 【正确答案】 B 5 【听力原文】 Man: I was always fascinated by the musical theatre, from the very word go. My aunt was an actress, not a particularly successful one, but I thought her world was unbelievably glamorous. And she

25、used to take me to London to see some of the American musicals which were on in Great Britain some time after they were on in New York, and so I got to see a lot of things at a very early age. It just grabbed me, it was one of those things 5 【正确答案】 C 6 【听力原文】 Woman: The earliest records of this trad

26、e go back to the Ancient Greek period with various deals around the Mediterranean area. Unlike the trade in more decorative or luxury goods, however, few written records remain. So, we mostly rely on archaeological evidence which does show, for example, that designs for swords spread from Greece to

27、the rest of Europe. And using the type of research more usually associated with the spread of artistic trends, we can now show how the equipment necessary to do battle was being exported. 6 【正确答案】 A 7 【听力原文】 Man: The best thing about the Eurostar train is that it is city centre to city centre. I alm

28、ost always travel with colleagues and we use the train as a second office. Sometimes there are as many as nine of us and I schedule formal meetings to have on the train. I invite suppliers and clients, who have meetings in Paris on the same day, to travel with us so we can discuss business. Its a pe

29、rfect opportunity to talk without the distractions of the office-we dont switch on our mobile phones. 7 【正确答案】 A 8 【听力原文】 Woman: Its no good just standing there saying youre sorry, because that isnt going to give me the photographs youve lost, is it? And I took them on a once-in-a- lifetime holiday,

30、 so its impossible to replace them. It didnt cross my mind for an instant that you could lose a roll of film, just like that. To be frank, I think its an insult just to offer me a new roll in its place. I would expect at the very least to be offered a refund and compensation for the loss and inconve

31、nience, even if it isnt your normal policy. 8 【正确答案】 A 二、 Part 2 You will hear a radio interview . For questions 9-18, complete the sentences. 9 【听力原文】 Interviewer: Now, today I have with me Brian Cole ford and hes someone who spends a lot of time up in the air in that smallest of aircraft, the micr

32、o light. Hallo Brian. Brian: Hallo. Interviewer: But its more than just a hobby, isnt it? Brian: Oh yes, I learned to fly when I was at university and I worked as a British Airways pilot for many years until my retirement. These days I spend a lot of my time helping people who want to learn how to f

33、ly a micro light, as well as other types of aircraft, at a local flying club. Interviewer: Tell us about the micro light Brian: Well, its like a very small aircraft, which is powered by an engine. The thing with micro light flying is that its the closest you can get to actually feeling like a bird b

34、ecause youre out in the open air, theres no cabin or anything around you. Interviewer: Oh I see . Brian: And although its powered, the way its controlled is by moving your own weight, you steer it by moving your body one way or another. Interviewer: So you have to lean over like you would on a motor

35、bike? Brian: You dont lean really, you actually have to push. So you have to be quite fit especially for a long flight. Interviewer: Which brings us on to the other thing which I know about you and that is that youve recently broken a world record. Tell us about that. Brian: Well, it involved flying

36、 over four continents because I left from London and flew over Europe, Africa and Asia on the way to Australia. No one had ever done that before in a micro light. Interviewer: The organisation for a long flight must be very difficult indeed, Brian. Surely you didnt do it all on your own? Brian: Yes,

37、 I had no helpers. It was a matter of planning my route in advance and finding out where Id be able to get fuel en route and knowing how far I could plan to travel safely each day. Interviewer: So how far can you travel on one tank of fuel? Brian: Well, I had a special fuel tank fitted - that was th

38、e only way in which my micro light was modified for the flight. So that meant I had enough fuel to be able to do about eight hours. The actual distance I covered depended on the winds, of course, but the still-air distance was round about 500 miles a day. It took nine months to plan the 49-day fligh

39、t, and for each leg I filed a flight plan so that each airport I would land at knew that I was on the way, and if I didnt arrive within half an hour of the time Id stated, then theyd have started looking for me. Interviewer: Yes Im sure thats very necessary. What radio, if any, did you have? Brian:

40、Yes; I had a two-way VHF radio, but the range of that was only 70 miles, so there was a lot of time when I was out of radio contact with anybody. I crossed thousands of miles of desert and mountain which is quite dangerous, of course, should anything go wrong, and 5,000 miles of the trip was over th

41、e sea, which is even more so. Interviewer: So how did you find your way? Brian: Well, I had a navigation system which uses satellite signals. It was really easy to use and, I must say, very accurate. I couldnt say I had any problems in knowing where I was or which way I was going. Interviewer: And w

42、hat sort of protection did you have? I mean, you werent just dangling in the cold air, were you? Brian: Yeah, I just wear a warm flying suit and warm clothes underneath. The coldest was going over the Alps, it was minus 28 degrees there, because I was quite high up. But actually feeling tired was my

43、 real problem because it was often dark by the time I landed and I was leaving again at first light. I was never hungry because I was met by such great hospitality everywhere I went. Although sadly i didnt get to see much of the places I visited. Interviewer: Well, Brian, many congratulations. Its a

44、 wonderful achievement and thank you very much for coming in today and talking about . 9 【正确答案】 British Airways/B.A. 10 【正确答案】 cabin 11 【正确答案】 motorbike 12 【正确答案】 Australia 13 【正确答案】 helpers 14 【正确答案】 fuel 15 【正确答案】 9months 16 【正确答案】 sea 17 【正确答案】 accurate 18 【正确答案】 tired 三、 Part 3 For questions 19-

45、23, choose from the list (A-F) which of the opinions each speaker expresses. Use the letters only once. There is one extra letter which you do not need to use. 19 【听力原文】 Man: Theres nothing like getting on a motorbike, its wonderful. All my life, Ive never travelled any other way. I was eleven years

46、 of age when I first started on my brothers bike. I had my iicence in 1955 and when a company in Birmingham advertised for a test rider, I applied and got it. I had to ride all the bikes they made from 1957 through to 1978 which included hill climbs, reliability trials and speedway races. After the

47、company closed down, I did trick riding with my brother. We called ourselves The Partners Dare, but by then, of course, it was only a hobby. 19 【正确答案】 C 20 【听力原文】 Man: Well, of course, although many people start off with brothers, fathers or other family members who ride, actually before you go on t

48、he road at all in Britain, youve got to take a basic training course and that really gets you off on the right foot. Now, after youve passed that, youre allowed on the road, but we as an organisation strongly recommend that you take further training, and this may be where Dad can help, you know. The

49、n, after that, of course, youre completely free to buy what you like, go on motorways, take passengers and just thoroughly enjoy motorcycling. 20 【正确答案】 D 21 【听力原文】 Woman: Ive a passion for my bike because it takes me away from the day-to-day round of family life, as a mother, and the problems of that kind of existence. I can just put the key in, turn it, and Im in another world. And I can be relieved of all the stresses and strains, just by riding my bik
