Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversationyou have just heard.

W:Hi,David.(1)I haven't seen you in class for almost two weeks.We thought you haddisappeared on holiday early or something.

M:Hi,Sarah.Well,it's a bit of a long story I'm afraid.I got a throat infection last wek and had to go to the hospital toget some antibiotics as I really wasn'tgetting anybetter

W:Oh yeah.There have been so many viruses going around this winter.The weather has been so awful for the last few weeks

M:(2)And,on the way back from the hospital,I slipped on some ice and fell and then had to go to th hospital to get an X-ray because I basically thought I broke my wrist,although,thankfully,it's not broken.But I need to be careful with it for the next few weeks. 

W:Oh,that's too bad!How unfortunate!

M:To make things worse,I managed to fall right in front of four girls fromthe ninth grade,So I was utterly humiliated.Plus,the laptop in mybag was broken too.

W:No,what a completecatastrophe!Is thelaptop stil under warranty?If it is,then you can easily send it back to the manufacturer,and they'll send you abrand-new one for free surely.

M:The warranty ran out three daysbefore I broke it.And all my essays arein there,and I need to hand them in before we breakfor the Christmas holidays.

W:(3)Listen,Ihave the number of a really good,affordable computer repair shop at home.My dad has used this guy before and he can work miracles.(4) Let's go back to my house and we can call the repair shop,andyou can have some tea and cookies too.

M:Wow,thanks,Sara!That would be great!Let me just call mymom and let her knowIllbe home a litte bit later.

Questions 5 to 8 arebased on the conversation you havejust heard.

M:Welcome to this week's episode of Book Talk.With me today is Heidi Brown,(5)a historian who has written five critically acclaimed books about military history.

W:Thanks for having me,John.Im so excited to talk about my latest book,which was publishedlast month. M:So this book is a novel,your first attempt at that genre.I thought it was a bit of a departurefor you. 

W:(6-1)I'd say it's a major departure as it's not just a work of fiction.It's set 200 years in the future.

M:Right.So howdid that happen?You spent three decades writing about the past and focusing on the 18th and 19th centuries.And now you're speculating about the future.

W:Well,after yearsof researching soldiers and chronicling their lives during battle,I just started wondering about other facets of their lives,especially their personal lives.

M:I can see that.(6-2)Your novel is about soldiers and it focuses on their relationships,especially the bond between sons and mothers and men and their wives.

W:Yes.That focus came about when I still intended to write another book of history.(7)I started by researching soldiers'actual personal lives,studying theirletters home. 

M:So how did that history book become a novel?

W:Well,I realized that the historical record was incomplete.So I'd either have to leave a lotof gaps or make a lot more assumptions than ahistorian should.

M:But why write a novelset in the future when your credentials are perfect for a historical novel?As a historian,any historical novel you write would have a lot of credibility.

W:(8)I felt too constrained working with the past,like what I wrote needed to be fact as opposed to fiction but writing about the future gave me more freedom to imagine,to invent.

M:Well,having read your book,I'm glad you made that choice to move into fiction.

Section B

Questions 9 to ll are based onthe passageyou have just heard.

(9)Whether it's in the hands of animated polarbears or Santa Claus,there's one thing you'll find in nearly all ads for Coca-Cola:the characteristic glass bottle.Most Americans don't drink soda out of the glass bottles scen in Coke's ads anymore.But this week,the company is celebrating a centuryofthe bottlethat's beensold in more than 200 countries.

Flash back to 1915,when a bottle of Coca-Cola cost just a nickel.(10)As the soft drink gained in popularity,it faced a growing number of competitors—counterfeits even trying to copy Coke's logo.So, according to Coca-Cola historian Ted Ryan,the company decided to come up with packaging that couldn't be duplicated.

A product request was sent to cight different glass makers.(11)Workers at the Root Glass Company got the request and began flipping through the encyclopedia at the local library,landing on cocoa seed.Though cocoa seed is not an ingredient of the soda,they designed theirbottle based on the seed's shape and large middle. It won over Coke executives in Atlanta and would go on to receive its own trademark,spur collections and earn Coca-Cola an iconic imagethat made it part of Americanculture for a century.

It was 100years ago this week that the bottle earned a patent.By World War Ⅱ,Coke bottle sales had balloned into billions.Americansmostly consume Coke out of aluminum orplastic today,but the glass botle remains asymbol of Americathat's readily recognized around theworld.

9.What does the passage say appears in almost all ads for Coca-Cola?

10.Why did the Coca-Cola Company decideto have special packaging designed?

11.What do we learn about the Coca-Cola bottle designed by the Root GlassCompany?

Questions 12 to 15 are based onthepassageyouhave jus heard.

(12)Rescarch shows that a few moments of conversation with a stranger creates ameasurable improvement in mood.But most of us are reluctant to start these conversations because we presume the opposite.

In an experiment,commuters who talked to nearby strangers found their commute more enjoyable than those who didn't.They were asked to predict whether they'd enjoy thecommute more if they conversed with other people.Intriguingly,most expected the more solitaryexperience to be more pleasurable.

Why is this?(13)Social anxiety appears to be the problem.People's reluctance to start conversations with  nearby strangers comes partly from “underestimating others'interest in connecting”.The sad thing is that people presumethata nearbystranger doesn't want to converseand don't start a conversation.Only thosewho forced themselves tochat because it was required by the experiment found out what a pleasant experience it could be

Human beings are social animals.Those who misunderstand the impact of social interactionsmay not,in some contexts,be social enough for their own well-being.You should be chatting with the strangers you encounter.(14) You may occasionally have a negative encounter that might stick in your memory.This is because the human brain is biased to dwell on negative events. But starting conversations with strangers is stil well worth the risk of rejection.

It may surprise you that conversing with strangers will make them happier too.(15)The pleasure of connection seems contagious.People who are talkedto have equally positive experiences as those who initiate s conversation.

12.What does research show about aconversation between strangers?

13.What prevents people from starting a conversation with strangers?

14.Why does a negative encounter with strangers stick in one's memory?

15.What does the passage say the pleasure of conncction seems to be?

Section C

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recordingyouhave just heard.

The Caribbean islands are divided into two worlds,a richone and a poor one.(16)This tropical region's economy is based mainly on farming.Farmers are of two types.One is the plantation owner who may have hundreds of thousands of acres.In contast,the small cultivator is working only a few acres of land.Most visitors to the Caribbean are rich,like the plantation owner.Theydo not realize or do notwant to realize that many farm families barely managed to get by on what they grow.

(17)The Caribbean produces many things.Sugar is the main product. Other export crops are tobacco, coffee,bananas,spices and citrus fruits,such as orange,lemon or grapefruit.From the West Indies also come oil,mineral pitch and many forest products.Jamaica's aluminum ore supplics are the world's largest.Oil comes from Trinidad,Aruba and Curacao.But for many of the smaller islands,sugar is the only export.Rum,a strong alcoholic drink,which isdistilled fromsugar cane,is also an export.The world'sbest rum comes from this area.Local kinds vary from the light rums of Puerto Rico to the heavier darker rums of Barbados and Jamaica.American tourists enjoy stocking up on inexpensive high quality Caribbean rum while they're on vacation.In Curacao,thewell-known liquor of that name is made from the thick outerskin of a native orange.

Ever since America's colonial days,the Caribbean islands have been favorite places to visit.Since World War Ⅱ,tourism has increased rapidly.Because great numbers of people go there,the islanders have built elaborate resorts,developed harbors and airfields,improved the beaches and have expandedsea and air routes.Everything is at the resort—hotel,beach,shopping and recreation.Thevacationer never has any reason to explorethe island.

As in most places,those who have money live well indeed.Those who don't have money live at various levels of poverty.But here the poor greatly outnumber the wealthy.A visitor will find rich people living in apartments or Spanish houses at the seaside or in the countryside.Their servants might include a cook,a maid,and a nurse for their children.(18)Most of the people live well below the poverty level.In towns,they live crowded together in tiny houses.Islanders make the best they can of what they have.Their homes are quite shabby.Sadly,most touristsnever see the side of the Caribbean.

16.What does the speakersay about the economy of the Caribbean islands?

17.What is the main product of the Caribbean islands?

18.What do we learn about the majority of people in the Caribbean islands?

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you havejust heard.

Talk to anyone who's a generation not too older and they would most likely comment that children are more spoiled these days.No one wants to have orbe around demanding,selfish and spoiled children,thosewho get bad-tempered or silently-brute when they are not given everything they want immediately.Paradoxically,the parents of such children encourage this demanding behavior in the mistaken belief that by giving their children everything they can their children will be happy.In the short term,perhaps they are right.(19)But in the longerterm,such children end up lonely,dependent,chronically dissatisfied and resentful of the parents who tried so hard to plcase them.

Undoubtedly parents want to raise happy children who are confident,capable and likable rather than spoiled and miserable.(20)One factor hindering this is that parents can't or don't spend enough quality time with their kids,and substitute this deficit with toys,games,gadgets and the like.Rather than getting material things,children need parents'devoted attention.The quantity of time spent together is less important than the content of that time.Instead of instantly satisfying their wishes,parents should help them work out a plan to earn things they'd like to have.This teaches them to value the effort as well as what itachieves

Allow them to enjoy anticipation.Numerous psychological studies have demonstrated that children who learn to wait for things they desire are more likely to succeed in a number of ways later in life.One famous experiment in the 1960s involved 3-to 6-year-old children.They were given a choicebetween receiving asmall reward,such as a cookie,immediately,or if they waited 15 minutes,they could have two.Follow up studies have found that those who chose to delay satisfaction are now more academically successful,have greater self- worth,and even tend to be healthier.

(21) If they fail,children should be encouraged to keep trying rather than to give up if they really want the desired result.This teaches them how to handle and recover from disappointment,which is associated with greater success and satisfaction academically,financially and in personal relationships.

And lastly,parents should encourage their children to look at life from other points of view,as well as their own.This teaches them to be understanding of andsympathetic towards others—qualities sure to take them a long way in life.

19.What will happen to children if they alwaysget immediate satisfaction?

20.What may prevent parents from raising confident and capable children?

21.Why should children be encouraged to keep trying when they fail?

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording youhave just heard.

It is not hard to mess up an interview.Most people feel nervous sitting across from a hiring manager,answering questions that effectively open themselves up for judgment.(22)And your chancesof being mor carefully considered for the job can quickly go downhill just by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

(23)The most obvious thing not to do is complain.Employers want to hire positive people.Talking about a previous job negatively raises concerns that you might be difficult to manage,or you might be someone that blames management foryour own poor performance.

Don't say that you've moved around in jobs because you haven't found the right fit or feel that you were not challenged enough.Statements like these will make you sound aimles and lost.An interviewer may well think, whywould this role be any different for you?You will probably leave here in six months.It also bags the question of what type of relationship you had with your manager.It doesn't sound like you had open communication with him or her.(24)Managers usually love people who can self-sustain and enable growth through taking initiative,who are strong at following through their work,and who bring ideas and solutions to the table.

If you were in a management or leadership position,when discussing your current role,never take all the credit for accomplishments or achievements.Emphasize your team and how through their talents,your vision was realized.Most successful leaders know that they are only as good as their team.And acknowledging this in an interview will go a long way towards suggesting that you might be the right person for the position you are applying for.

(25) Lastly,have a good idea of what your role will be and try and convey the idea that you're flexible. Asking what your role will be suggests you will limit yourself purely to what is expected of you.In reality,your role is whatever you make of it.This is especially true in small companies,where the ability to adapt and take on new responsibilities is highly valued.And this is equally important if you're just starting out.Entry leve interviewees would do well to demonstrate a broad set of skils in most interviews.It's important to have a wide skill set as many startups and small companies are moving really fast.Employers are looking for candidates that are intelligent and can quickly adapt andexcel in agrowing company.

22.What does the speaker say can easily prevent an interviewee from getting a job?

23.What should the interviewee avoid doing in an interview?

24.What kind of employees do companies like to recruit?

25.What isespeially important for those working in asmall company?
