D. The red crescent was later adopted for use in certain regions.
Key: 14.B 15.D 16.B
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum was opened in Geneva in 1988. (14)lt tells the story of men and women who, in the course of the major events of the last 150 years, have given assistance to victims of war and natural disasters. The organization was established in 1863 and was based on an idea by a Swiss businessman called Henn Burant. (15)He had witnessed the heavy casualties at the
battle of Sulferino in Italy 4 years earlier, in which 40000 people were killed, wounded or missing. He had seen the lack of medical services and the great suffering of many of the wounded who simply died from lack of care. The International Red Cross or Red Crescent exists to help the victims of conflicts and disasters regardless of their nationalities. (16) The symbol of the organization was originally just the red cross. It has no religious significance. The founders of the movement adopted it as a tribute to Switzerland. However, during the Russo-Turkish War, the Turks felt that the cross could be seen as offensive to Muslim soldiers, (16) and a second symbol, the red crescent, was adopted for use by national organizations in the Islamic world. Both are now official symbols.

20. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The first cheerleader was a man named John Campbell.
B. Cheerleaders' contests are only held at the state level.
C. Before 1930 there were no women cheerleaders.
D. The first cheerleading occurred in 1898.
Key: 17.D 18.B 19.A 20.B
At major college or high school sports events, cheerleaders, both male and female, jump and dance in front of the crowd, and sholft the name of their team, running around and yelling " Go, team, Go ". The first cheerleader ever was a man. In 1898, John Campbell jumped in front of the crowd at the University of Minnesota and shouted for his team. He shouted " Hoorah, Minnesota". This was the first organized shout, or yell. For the next 32 years cheerleaders were men only. Cheerleading is not just about cheering. (18) They practice special shouts, dances, and athletic shows. (19) The men throw the women high in the air and catch them. The team members climb on each others shoulders to make a human pyramid. They yell and dance, too. It is like human fireworks. Of course, they may often suffer serious knee and wrist injuries, and bloody noses. (17)/(20) Cheerleaders have their own contests every year at local, state and national levels. And the crowd shouts for them. It is not fair to think cheerleading is just being cheerful and lively and having a loud voice. (17) Cheerleading is a sport in itself.

11. In the old days dogs were used for the following EXCEPT
A. hunting other animals.
B. driving sheep.

D. keeping thieves away.
12. Which of the following is CORRECT?
A. Dogs are now treated as part of a family.
B. Dogs still perform all the duties they used to do.
C. People now keep dogs for the same reasons as before.
D. Only old people are seen walking their dogs.
13. The passage is mainly about
A. what dogs can do.
B. how to keep dogs.
C. dogs and their masters.
D. reasons for keeping dogs.
Key: 11.D 12.A 13.D
If you're in a western country, you often see people walking their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world. (13) However the reason why one keeps the dog has changed. (11) Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals. And the dog listened to him and did what he told him to do. Later people used dogs for hunting other animals. And dogs did not eat what they got until their masters agreed. (11) Dogs were also used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. But now people in towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals any more. Of course, they keep them to frighten thieves. But the most important reason for keeping dogs is that they feell only in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with; for a young wife, a dog is her child when she does not have her own; for old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. (12) Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend,just like a member of the family.

Key: 14.B 15.D 16.A 17.C
I am going to work in a totally new environment. I'll have to get used to different working conditions. I am used to working in quite high-tech sort of industry that has got lots of machinery and everything. But now I am going to a place that(14) has no machinery as such, apart from a typewriter. The place has no electricity at all, no photocopiers,all the things that you just take for granted here. They just won't be there any more. I'll be staying near the school in quite a small village. And (15)I will be staying in a teacher's house, living with two or three other volunteer teachers. I'll have to get used to not having the variety of different foods that you have here like twenty different varieties of breakfast serial. (16) And the range of food there is much smaller, not many choices. I'll also have to get used to getting water from a well, not having electricity which means gas lamps in the evening; which means the difficulty of preparing for the next day's lessons in poor light; which means different ways of getting your clothes washed. (17) There will be all sorts of big differences like that, but I'll have to get used to when I arrive there.

20. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. Boys and girls are equally energetic.
B. Parents have higher expectations for boys.
C. Some parents lack skills to deal with their kids.
D.Some parents are ill-educated and ill-tempered.
Key: 18.B 19.A 20.C
The most common type of child abuse you know is beating with the hands or with an instrument usually a cane in some places. Nearly a third of the abused children we see are (18) in the age group between six and ten, and about sixty-five percent of them are boys. (18) This is the age group when children are first to expect to study hard and parents have great expectations of their progresses in school. Boys of course attract more abuse such as beating because (20) once again parental expectations are high, and boys tend to be more energetic and difficult to control than girls. Most experts seem to agree that the child abuse is caused by a combination of social and psychological factors. Families who beat their children are not particularly different from other people. (20) The only difference that exists between them is that they lack skills in the establishing good relationships with their children. These families
too .generally speaking, have other problems such as (19) marriage problems or financial problems. Some parents are hurting their children because they strongly believe in the use of traditional discipline methods. But many of them have (19) emotional problems. (20) They are often the victims of violence themselves. Sometimes they even bear an unreasonable hatred for a child because they believe that the child has brought the family bad luck.

Hello everybody. Thank you very much for inviting me here. It's very pleasant to have a chance to talk to you about something that is obviously very much on everybody's minds. (13)1 want to talk about an area of security or safety -bicycles
I know a lot of you have bikes. First, when you get your bike .whether it's new or second hand, bring it as soon as possible to us. We will be able to stamp it with a serial number. We actually stamp it into the metal. (11) We'll register the number, put it on our list. This can frighten criminals away if they realize there is a number stamped on it.
Second, make sure you buy a good lock. It can be expensive. But it's never a waste of money, (12) If you have an expensive bike, it's worth buying two locks. Do spend money on the good lock, because the cheap ones can be very very easy to cut. Also, make sure you lock the bike to something permanent .though do be considerate to pedestrians. And if the worst happens-you lose your bike, you should immediately report it to the police station calling the serial number that should been stamped.

11. Meeting rooms of various sizes are needed for
A. contacts with headquarters.
B. relaxation and enjoyment.
C. informal talks.
D. different purposes.
12. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as part of hotel facilities for guests?

C. Swimming pools.
D. Bars.
13. A hotel for an international conference should have the following EXCEPT
A. convenient transport services.
B. competent office secretaries.
C. good sports and restaurant facilities.
D. suitable and comfortable rooms.
Key: 11.D 12.B 13.B
In my opinion, the most important thing when choosing a hotel for an international conference is the meeting room or rooms. (11) For example, you may need a large room where everyone can be together for keynote speeches or presentations, and smaller meeting rooms for informal group discussions. Then, if people are coming from different countries, you need to find out about the rooms for them to stay in. (13) They should be spacious and comfortable, and have facilities for using email and laptops, as people have to keep in touch with their offices or headquarters even when they are away.
(12)My next point is facilities for hotel 'guests, things like a bar, a good quality restaurant, preferably offering local food and fitness and sport centers. These are important, because delegates need to be able to relax after a long day of meet-
ings and get to know each other in informal situations.
Finally, for an international conference where delegates are coming from different countries, it can be very useful to choose a hotel that (13) has good transport connections with the nearest airport and all places of interest. This can save everybody a lot of time.

Key: 14.C 15.A 16.D 17.B
(17) Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It's a great pleasure that I welcome you to the new Museum of Industrial and Rural life. (14) The museum provides us with a unique historical record of industrial and agricultural life in the area. Here, you find a wonderful collectiop of industrial and agricultural exhibits. Some of them date back 200 years which reflect the history of our area over the last two centuries. Until recently, the area was mainly agricultural, and the world industries and traditions were all associated with agriculture. The museum's collections bring this heritage back to life, with the fascinating blend of working and static displays. From early times, good communications with the rest of the country have lead to the industrial prosperity for the area. One example of such communications was (15) the Roman Road, Portsmouth Street which passed nearby. Later, canals came to bring new prosperity, and then the railways. Good transport systems encouraged local industries, especially those related to agriculture, and the museum has collections of national significance from many of these.Local people, too, have changed the history, and the museum will introduce you to these and other local celebrities. (16) The displays with all items collected locally show what local life used to be like. Many displays of local items are in context and show, for example printer's and cobbler's workshops. Whatever you are interested, we hope the museum will have something for you.

Key: 18.D 19.B 20.A
Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you very much for inviting me here to talk about safety in dormitory and personal security.
First, a few points to bear in mind. You'll notice the doors of your dorm have two types of locks, a Yale lock and a Chubb lock. Make sure you double (18) lock your door, not just one lock, both of them, however long you are going out for. Make sure when you go out, all the windows are closed. Those of you in the ground and first-floor rooms will notice that you are locking windows, make sure you use them. Lock them every time you go out; (18) lock them at night. If you have got expensive equipmenis in your room, first of all, insure it. So many people lose things and haven't got insurance. Make sure you insure it.
This brings me onto personal security. Wherever possible, avoid working alone late at night, especially girl students. Avoid dark streets, and try to stick to the well-lit streets whenever possible. (19) Also if you know you are going to be up late, make sure you've got enough money for a taxi to get home again, or arrange to stay with friends for the night. It may sound absurd, but don't forget the university actually offers free self-defense classes. I hope it something you'd never have to use, but (20)it certainly was going along to a few self-defense sessions.

Please write the whole passage on ANSWER SHEET ONE. In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather wasn’t ver y good, even in summer, so a lot of people left the country for a vacation. In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups to places such as Spain and Greece. Once they arrived at their destination, they met with other groups of young people and had one long party. British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate, so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, going abroad is more expensive. As a result, more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.

2006年 The Internet The Internet is the most significant progress in the field of communications. Imagine a book that never ends, a library with a million floors, or imagine a research project with thousands of scientists working around the clock forever. This is the magic of the Internet. Yet the Internet has the potential for good and bad. One can find well-organized, information-rich websites. At the same time, one can also find wasteful websites. Most websites are known as different Internet applications. These include online games, chat rooms and so on. These applications have great power, too. Sometimes the power can be so great that young people may easily bec ome victims to their attraction. So we need to recognize the seriousness of the problem. We must work together to use its power for better ends .2007Advertising Advertising has already become a very specialized activity in mod ern times.

PART Ⅱ LISTENING COMPREHENSION SECTION A CONVERSATIONS Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following conversation. M:Jill,have you registered with the next semester? W:Not yet, there's still something that I'm not sure. Do you know if Professor Smith's economics 102 is still available to all undergraduate students? M:No, I don't think so. Last semester I tried to register in that course but all the other people told me not to. W:Why not? M:They said that my lack of knowledge in higher mathematics might be an obstacle in understanding Professor Smith's theory. W:Really? M:(I ) Jack tqld me that Professor Smith usually uses lots of formulas inside class. So you'd better make sure that you are extremely familiar with these formulas if you are seriously considering taking his course. W:What a shame I (2)My friends all told me that Professor Smith has lots of original ideas and he really can stimulate students to think. But I don't think I have the mathematical skills to keep up with the others. M:lf you want to take the course so much, why don't you register in a course in higher mathematics first? W.
