M: Here is the summer vacation again. It seems that there is no new place in our country for me to travel.
W: I have an idea to make good use of our vacations. We have benefited from the society but done nothing in return. Do you want to do some local voluntary work for the society this year? M: Sounds interesting. What do you think we should do?
W: I\"m not sure. Maybe we could offer help in the hospital for handicapped children. We could help feed the children and help look after them.
M: Excellent! But I\"m not sure if we will be allowed to do that. I think all helpers there have to be specially trained. And we are not in the related major.
W: Yeah, maybe you are right. I still have the idea of doing something for children, haven\"t you? M: Well, maybe. And I think many old people also need help. What else did you have in mind for children?
W: My other idea was to do something for the small primary school down the street. That school
is too poor to provide a playground for the pupils. Children cannot do without one. I\"ve noticed that some land round the back of the school is not used. We could make it into a small playground. What do you think?
M: Mm, it\"s a good idea, but you are a bit too ambitious. I don\"t know anything about making playgrounds. And I also think that it might be too expensive to do what you suggest. W: Yes, I guess you\"re right. We cannot afford the big project unless someone sponsors us. It\"s impossible for us to find such a person. So what do you have in mind for older people? M: I think we should go round to the homes of older people and ask if there is something we can do in the house—you know, like a bit of simple decorating, washing the clothes, cleaning up the garden, even doing some shopping for them once a week.
W: Mm, this sounds meaningful and practical. I quite like the idea. It won\"t cost us any money and I\"m sure we are capable of dealing with the things you mentioned.

三、Section B(总题数:0,分数:0.00) 四、Passage One(总题数:1,分数:10.50)
(分数:10.50)
A.Get into the car for safety.
B.Wait patiently for the storm to develop. C.Head straight for the center of the storm. D.Collect information about a coming storm. √ 解析:[听力原文]
When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
\"Storm chasing\" is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States. The storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop. Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. \"Storm chasing is 95% driving,\" says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. \"Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.\" However, for storm chasers, it\"s all worth it.
What is the first thing storm chasers should do for storm chasing? A.Not to drive in a heavy rain. B.To do it in an organized way. √
C.Not to get too close to a storm. D.To spend more time on it in summer. 解析:[听力原文]
What does the speaker advise beginners of storm chasing to do? A.Storm chasing is only fit for young people. B.Many storm chasers get killed in the storms. C.Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world. D.Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment. √ 解析:[听力原文]

Soon it would be the holidays, but before that, there was the end of year exams. All the students had been working hard for some time. If they didn\"t pass, they would have to take them again in September. There were usually a few who failed, but Rose was determined not to be one of them. She had worked hard all year, but just before the exams she was working so hard that her sister Betty was worried about her. She was staying up too late. The night before the first exam, Betty insisted that she should have an early night and take a sleeping pill. She promised to wake her in the morning.
As she was falling asleep, Rose was worried she might oversleep. Her mind kept jumping from subject to subject. At last, with the help of the pill, she fell asleep. In no time at all, she was sitting in the examination hall, looking at the paper. She couldn\"t answer any of the questions. However hard she thought, she couldn\"t find anything to write about. She kept looking at her watch. Time was running out. There was only an hour left. She started one question, wrote two sentences, gave up and tried another one. With only half an hour left she wrote another two sentences. By this time she was so worried that she started crying. Her whole body shook. It shook so much that it woke her up. She was still in bed and it had all been a terrible dream.

(分数:14.00)
A.Because Disney parks are a universal attraction.
B.Because they are treated to enjoy themselves. √ C.Because they are invited there for celebration. D.Because they feel the parks are like a kingdom. 解析:[听力原文]
What makes Disney parks an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit Disney parks? One reason is the way they\"re treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their \"guests\" and to see that they enjoy themselves.
All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking \"Traditions I\". There, they learn about the company\"s history, how it is managed and why it is successful. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.
After passing \"Traditions Ihe employees go on to more specialized training for their specific jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple job, he replied, \"What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, or what bus to take back to the campgrounds? We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the park.\"
Even Disney\"s managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail, and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive.
Why do foreign kings and queens want to visit Disney\"s entertainment parks? A.The layout of the park. B.The professional knowledge.
C.The development of the company. √ D.The construction of a Disney park. 解析:[听力原文]
What do all new employees learn from \"Traditions I\"?
A.The company wants every employee to help guests enjoy the tour. √ B.The employees of Disney parks are very strict with themselves. C.The employees want to present their best before the guests. D.The company places the greatest emphasis on simple jobs. 解析:[听力原文]
Why would a simple job like taking tickets require such specialized training? A.Sell hot dogs or ice cream. B.Take tickets to customers. C.Take up special service jobs. D.See to the company\"s management. √ 解析:[听力原文]
What do Disney\"s managers not do during the special full week every year?
七、Section C(总题数:1,分数:35.00)
You can tell the age of a tree by 1 its rings, but these records of a tree\"s life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn what\"s been happening on the sun\"s 2 for the last ten thousand years. Each ring 3 a year of growth. As a tree grows, it acids a layer to its trunk, taking up 4 elements from the air. By looking at the elements in the rings from a given year, scientists can tell what elements were in the air that year. Doctor Stevenson is 5 one element—carbon-14, in rings from both living and dead trees. Some of the rings go back almost
ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon-14 trail back in time, he found carbon-14 levels change with the 6 of solar burning. You see the sun has cycles. Sometimes it burns 7 at other times it\"s relatively calm. During the sun\"s 8 periods, it 9 charged particles in fast moving streams called \"solar winds\". The particles 10 the formation of carbon-14 on earth. When there\"s more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produced. Ten thousand years of tree rings show that the carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.

填空项1:__________________ (正确答案:counting) 解析: counting [听力原文]
You can tell the age of a tree by counting its rings, but these records of a tree\"s life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn what\"s been happening on the sun\"s surface for the last ten thousand years. Each ring represents a year of growth. As a tree grows, it acids a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical elements from the air. By looking at the elements in the rings from a given year, scientists can tell what elements were in the air that year. Doctor Stevenson is analyzing one element—carbon-14, in rings from both living and dead trees. Some of the rings go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon-14 trail back in time, he found carbon-14 levels change with the intensity of solar burning. You see the sun has cycles. Sometimes it burns fiercely at other times it\"s relatively calm. During the sun\"s violent periods, it throws off charged particles in fast moving streams called \"solar winds\". The particles interfere with the formation of carbon-14 on earth. When there\"s more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produced. Ten thousand years of tree rings show that the carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle. 解析: surface 解析: represents 解析: chemical 解析: analyzing 解析: intensity 解析: fiercely 解析: violent 解析: throws off 解析: interfere with
