Each conversation will be read only once. A t the end of each conversation, there will be a fifteen-second pause. During the pause, read the question and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre. 1. W: Oh, you have to tell them about the seat-belt signs again. M: It蒺s your turn. I did it just now. Oh, and don蒺t forget to switch off the intercom when you finish. W: Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has switched on the seat-belt signs. Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts. Please take a moment to look again at the emergency instructions in the seat pocket in front of you. 2. M: Sarah, I didn蒺t know you were a windsurfer! Can you surf too? Normal surfing, I mean... W: Well, I learned to windsurf when I was six. My uncle taught me. But not surfing. I tried it once, but I couldn蒺t stand up. What about you, Ben? Do you do any water sports? M: Not really. I mean, I can swim and everything, but I prefer mountain sports. 3. M: Do you ever feel like there蒺s far too much information on the Net? Sometimes, I don蒺t know how to handle it at all. W: Yep, there蒺s too much, but it doesn蒺t matter. The important thing is knowing how to find what you need. Personally, I bookmark the site I visit every day. For everything else, I run a search on Google or Yahoo. M: Right, keep it simple. That reminds me, I need to check an online auction I蒺m bidding on. 4. M: I can蒺t believe what happened to Richard. After twenty years on the job, he was next in line to be promoted to vice president. W: But instead, he was fired. I wonder how safe any of our jobs are. He was a good supervisor, too. M: He was. Well, I think I蒺d better update my resume and see what the job market is like. I蒺m not planning to quit, but I want to be ready if things get bad around here. 5. W: I feel sorry for child stars. They have a really hard time growing up. M: Why do you say that? They蒺re rich and famous. And, they get to spend time with movie stars and other successful people. What could be hard about it? W: Think about all the pressure they蒺re under their parents. They蒺re always filming something, traveling, or giving interviews. How can they possibly have a normal childhood? - 4 - Section B (10 marks) In this section, you will hear two long conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. A t the end of each conversation, there will be a one-minute pause, during the pause, read the questions and make your answers on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre. Conversation One Listen to the conversation, and mark each statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to your listening. W: Daniel, have you finished your research on the Globe Theatre? M: Yeah, Lily. I found out lots of interesting stuff about the theatre. W: Like what? M: Well, as you know, in many ways performances today are just like the original ones. W: But some things are different, aren蒺t they? M: Sure. For example, there蒺re female actors now. In Shakespeare蒺s time, people thought it was improper for women to act. But modern performances at the Globe still use very few props and only live sound effects. W: What do you mean? All the music and sound effects are made on stage? M: Yeah, either on stage or behind the stage. And they don蒺t use any microphones or recordings of sounds. The clothes are authentic, too. W: It sounds really neat. I蒺d love to see a performance at the Globe some time. M: Yeah. They sound pretty cool. Conversation Two Listen to the conversation, mark each question as A , B, C or D according to your listening. W: Well, welcome to meet Robert Opie. He蒺s dedicated his whole life to his collection, most of which is housed in the Museum of Packaging and Advertising. Robert, what exactly do you collect? M: That蒺s very difficult to explain. It蒺s the whole story of an enormous social revolution that蒺s happened over the last hundred years and the main thing I蒺m interested in within that is the story of shopping and products and brands. I collect everything that one puts into today蒺s shopping basket, everything that蒺s in today蒺s supermarket, but looking back at it over the last hundred and fifty years and the evidence of this is now the packs that have survived, the advertisements, the promotions ... W: How do you decide what to collect? M: Um, it can become quite tricky when I suddenly find I蒺m running out of money, er, because when I蒺m shopping, you see, first of all I go round and think, what do I need for the collection, what new products have arrived, what new designs have come along to update the previous design and then I go around and think, what am I going to eat tonight, you know, so it蒺s mainly made up of those things and I get very disappointed when there蒺s a product I want but I蒺ve already got the packaging, you see, because I have to wait till the next change comes along. W: When did you begin collecting and why? M: About the age of three, I think it was, when I found this wonderful stone in the path at home and then my mother told me it was a fossilized sea urchin. Well, that began my stone collection and then I went, like - 5 - many other schoolchildren, onto other things like stamps and coins, but I was always trying to find things that other people hadn蒺t collected. So then at the age of sixteen I suddenly thought, well, here蒺s something, packaging, that everybody蒺s literally throwing away and something is always happening and changing in it, so from that moment I蒺ve saved all the packages I蒺ve ever eaten the contents of. W: Do you feel that your collecting is an obsession? M: Er, I蒺m sure somewhat it is but I tend to find that I蒺m driven by this commitment that I蒺m saving the nation蒺s heritage, even though a lot of people think that the rubbish aspect is not really someone蒺s heritage. I have to put in a certain number of hours every day to save something which I think should be saved. You may have watched the Olympics and you see those people doing four or five hours蒺 training every day and I find that, I mean, that may be called an obsession but it蒺s really a dedication to a particular thing and I think I蒺m probably dedicated in that kind of way. Section C (5 marks) In this section, you will hear five short news items. Each item will be read only once. A fter each item, there will be a fifteen-second pause. During the pause, read the question and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre. 16. The authorities in Mexico have identified 13 of the 31 people killed in a series of explosions in the country蒺s biggest fireworks market on Tuesday. The Mexico state prosecutor said some were so badly charred that neither their age nor the gender could immediately be determined. 17. The sound of burning rain forest. This is from footage captured by researchers in the Eastern Amazon. Their two-year study found that even selective logging in protected forests opened up the canopy enough to dry out the undergrowth and make it catch fire more easily. To measure the impact of human activity on the rain forest, the team counted 2,000 species of trees, insects and birds, comparing biodiversity with the amount of forest cover. 18. The growing popularity of e -cigarettes has prompted debate about their safety, their potential to help people quit tobacco smoking and the risk. They may encourage some people to take it up. The Royal College of Physicians concludes that their impact so far has been very positive. They蒺ve helped many thousands of people to quit and the switch from tobacco smoking is a dramatic step towards better health. 19. The damaging effects of shift work on the body are well known. This study shows the impact on the mind as well. Three thousand people performed tests of memory and speed of thought. Those with more than ten years of shift work under their belts had the same results as those who didn蒺t do shifts but were six-and- a-half years older. The good news is that when people in the study stopped shift work their brains did recover, although it took five years. 20. Ever since Mount Everest opened to commercial expeditions in the 1990s, climbers have sought to establish world records on the mountain. The youngest person to reach the summit was a 13 -year -old from the United States. The oldest climber was 80. But now Nepal says it wants to limit climbers to between the ages of 18 and 75 in order to better manage the mountain, which has suffered from overcrowding. It蒺s also considering banning anyone with disabilities. - 6 - Section D (10 marks) In this section, you will hear two short passages. The passages will be read twice. A fter each passage, there will be a one-minute pause. During the pause, write the answers on the answer sheet. Listen to the passage. For questions 21-25, fill in the blanks with the exact words or phrases you hear. The Amazon River begins in the Andes Mountains in South America. It passes through six countries before it reaches the Atlantic Ocean. It is almost 6,500 kilometers long. The Amazon is the second longest river in the world. The Nile in Africa is longer. But the Amazon has more water in it than any other river. This is why it is called the world蒺s biggest river. There is so much water in the Amazon that when it reaches the sea this water travels far out into the ocean. The water has a lot of mud in it, so it is brown. Five hundred years ago, Spanish explorers on a ship 300 kilometers from land saw this brown water. They followed it and found the Amazon River! The river is very deep and very wide. In some places it is so wide that a person on one side cannot see the other side. When the river floods, it is even wider. The river floods every year. Some people who live beside the river build their houses on rafts. When the river rises, their houses rise too! Listen to the passage. For questions 26-30, complete the notes using no more than three words for each blank. At night, look up at the sky. How many stars do you see? If you live in the country, bright stars will fill the sky. If you live in a city, on the other hand, you might not see any stars. What蒺s happening? Bright lights from the city are lighting the sky, blocking the stars. This is light pollution. Light can also come into city homes, like an uninvited guest. Sometimes, a visitor to a big city can蒺t sleep because of the bright, flashing sign outside his or her window. Darkness helps us sleep. Without darkness, we lie awake losing sleep. Losing sleep can lead to serious health problems because our immune systems become weak. Nature蒺s beings need darkness. It蒺s part of the natural 24-hour cycle. Trees and plants that are too close to artificial light grow in strange ways and die quickly. Animals become confused when the normal patterns of light and dark are changed. For example, birds flying to their winter homes can get lost. Also, night animals might think it蒺s day when it蒺s actually night. Finally, using too many lights wastes energy and money. The huge lights for all night parking lots and gas stations are too bright and unnecessary. Every city spends millions of dollars a year to light its thousands of buildings and streets. And much of this lighting is just to make the city look attractive, rather than to provide practical use. True, we feel safer in the light. But our eyes are able to see a little in darkness. And we don蒺t need to light the entire city just to create an attractive night view. We should try to turn the lights down to save the Earth and its creatures from this pollution. This is the end of the listening part. Please transfer your answers to the answer sheet. - 7 -
