Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time,you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
When most people think of the word "education," they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing, the teachers(26) stuff "education."
But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not (27 )the stuffings of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the 28 of what is in the mind.
"The most important part of education," once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the (29) Harvard philosopher, "is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him. And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, "I know, learn from me." He said, rather, "Look into your own selvers and find the (30) of truth that God has put into every heart, and that only you can kindle (點燃) to a( 31)."
In a dialogue, Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of (32), and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really "knows" geometry--because the principles of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to be called out.
So many of the discussions and (33) about the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they(34) what should "go into" the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done.
The college student who once said to me, after a lecture, "I spend so much time studying that I don't have a chance to learn anything," was clearly expressing his ( 35 ) with the sausage-casing view of education.

W: Well, before we decide we're going to live in Enderby, we really ought to have a look at the schools. We want the children to have a good secondary education, so we'd better see what's available.

W: I don't know if we want private schools, do we?
M: I don't think so, but we'll look at them anyway. There're Saint Mary's, that's a catholic school for girls and Carlton Abbey, that's a very old boys' boarding school, founded in 1672.
W: Are all the state schools co-educational?
M: Yes, it seems so.
W: I think little Keith is very good with his hands. We're to send him to a school with good vocational training -- carpentry, electronics, that's sort of thing.
M: In that case, we are best off at Enderby Comprehensive. I gather they have excellent workshops and instructors. But it says here the Donwell also has good facilities. Enderby High has a little, but they are mostly academic. No vocational training at all at Carlton Abbey or Saint Mary's.
W: What are the schools like academically? How many children go on to university every year?
M: Well, Enderby High is very good. And Carlton Abbey even better, 70% percent of their pupils go on to university. Donwell isn't so good. Only 8%. And Enderby Comprehensive in Saint Mary's not much more, about 10%.
W: Well, it seems like there is a broad selection of schools. But we have to find out more than statistics before we can decide.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! As instructed in our previous meeting, the subcommittee on building development has now drawn up a brief to submit to the firm's architect. In short, the building would consist of two floors. There would be a storage area in the basement to be used by the research center as well as by other departments. We are, as you know, short of storage base, so the availability of a large basement would be a considerable advantage. The ground floor would be occupied by laboratories. Altogether there would be six labs. In addition, there would be six offices for the technicians, plus a general secretarial office and reception area. The first floor would be occupied by the offices of Research and Development staff. There would be a suite of offices for the Research and Development director as well as a general office for secretarial staff. It's proposed to have a staff room with a small kitchen. This would serve both floors. There would also be a library for research documents and reference material. In addition, there would be a resource room in which audio visual equipment and other equipment of that sort could be stored. Finally, there would be a seminar room with closed circuit television. This room could also be used to present displays and demonstrations to visitors to the center. The building would be of brick construction so it's to conform to the general style of construction on the site. There would be a pitched roof. Wall and ceiling spaces would be insulated to conform to new building regulations.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you've just heard.
16. What is said about the planned basement of the new building?
17. Where would be the Research and Development director's office?
18. Why would the building be of brick construction?

Huang Yi works for a company that sells financial software to small and medium size businesses. His job is to show customers how to use the new software. He spends two weeks with each client, demonstrating the features and functions of the software. The first few months in the job were difficult. He often left the client feeling that even after two weeks he hadn't been able to show the employees everything they needed to know. It's not that they weren't interested; they obviously appreciated his instruction and showed a desire to learn. Huang couldn't figure it out the software was difficult for them to understand, or if he was not doing a good job of teaching. During the next few months, Huang started to see some patterns. He would get to a new client site and spend the first week going over the software with the employees. He usually did this in ships, with different groups of employees listening to him lecture. Then he would spend the next week in installing the program and helping individuals trouble-shoot. Huang realized that during the week of trouble shooting and answering questions, he ended up addressing the same issues over and over. He was annoyed because most of the individuals with whom he worked seem to have retained very little information from the first week. They asked very basic questions and often needed prompting from beginning to end. At first, he wondered if these people were just a little slow, but then he began to get the distinct feeling that part of the problem might be his style presenting information.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you've just heard.
19. What does Huang Yi do in his company?
20. What did Huang Yi think of his work?
21. What did Huang Yi do in addition to lecturing?
22. What did Huang Yi realize in the end?
短文三
As we help children get out into the world to do their learning well, we can get more of the world into the schools. Aside from their parents, most children never have any close contact with any adults except their teachers. No wonder they have no idea what adult life or work is like. We need to bring more people who are not full-time teachers into the schools. In New York City, under the teachers' and writers' collaborative, real writers come into the schools, read their work, and talk to the children about the problems of their craft. The children love it. In another school, a practicing attorney comes in every month and talks to several classes about the law. Not the law it is in books, but the law as he sees it and encounters it in his cases. And the children listen with intense interest. Here's something even easier: let children work together, help each other, learn from each other and each other's mistakes. We now know from this experience of many schools that children are often the best teachers of other children. What's more important, we know that when the fifth floor six-grader who is being having trouble with reading, starts helping a first-grader, his own reading sharply improves. A number of schools are beginning to use what some call paired learning. This means that you let children form partnerships with other children. Do their work even including their tests together and share whatever marks or results this work gets. Just like grown-ups in the real world. It seems to work.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you've just heard.
23: Why does the speaker say most children have no idea what adult life is like?
24: What is happening in New York City schools?
25: What does the experience of many schools show?
複合式聽寫
Tests may be the most unpopular part of academic life. Students hate them because they produce fear and anxiety about being evaluated, and focus on grades instead of learning for learning's sake. But tests are also valuable. A well-constructed test identifies what you know and what you still need to learn. Tests help you see how your performance compares to that of others. And knowing that you'll be tested on a body of material is certainly likely to motivate you to learn the material more thoroughly. However, there's another reason you might dislike tests. You may assume that tests have the power to define your worth as a person. If you do badly on a test, you may be tempted to believe that you received some fundamental information about yourself from the professor --- information that says you are a failure in some significant way. This is a dangerous and wrong-headed assumption. If you do badly on a test, it doesn't mean you are a bad person or stupid or that you'll never do better again and that your life is ruined. If you don't do well on a test, you're the same person you were before you took the test. No better, no worse. You just did badly on a test. That's it! In short, tests are not a measure of your value as an individual. They're a measure only of how well and how much you studied. Tests are tools. They're indirect and imperfect measures of what we know.

該對話主要講述了這位男士爲泰國絲綢中一些新的顏色組合所吸引，想索要一些樣品，同時，女士又推薦了一些別的東西，但男士不是很感興趣，男士想去小城鎮市場看看，並對沒有商業化的手工藝品更感興趣，所以，這位女士答應帶這位男士去鄉村看看有沒有他想要的東西。總體來說，該對話在整體理解和題目難度上均相對較容易，只要抓住了對話中的關鍵詞Thai silks，new color combinations，handicrafts not commercialized，countryside等，即可很好地理解對話大意和題目，同時，考生應多關注對話中的問題，可能它就是題目出現的問題。
長對話二：
12. A. A good secondary education.
13. A. He ought to get good vocational training.

本文主人公爲黃毅 (音譯)，他的工作是指導一些中小型公司的員工使用新的金融軟件。在工作的起初幾個月，他分別花2周的時間指導每位客戶，但客戶們並不能完全掌握軟件的使用方法。於是接下來的幾個月他採取了另一種方式，每當他去一家新公司時，先花一週時間向所有員工大致介紹軟件，然後再花一週時間安裝軟件，並幫助每個人排除故障。結果，員工們在第一週依舊沒有學會使用方法，導致第二週不斷重複提一些簡單的問題。最後，黃毅終於明白並不是員工學習能力差，而是自己的展示方式有問題。
本片文章的邏輯性較強，需要考生完全聽懂事情的來龍去脈。其中含有一個較生僻的詞語，troubleshoot(故障診斷)，明白該詞含義是做出第3小題的關鍵。

該對話主要講述了這位男士爲泰國絲綢中一些新的顏色組合所吸引，想索要一些樣品，同時，女士又推薦了一些別的東西，但男士不是很感興趣，男士想去小城鎮市場看看，並對沒有商業化的手工藝品更感興趣，所以，這位女士答應帶這位男士去鄉村看看有沒有他想要的東西。總體來說，該對話在整體理解和題目難度上均相對較容易，只要抓住了對話中的關鍵詞Thai silks，new color combinations，handicrafts not commercialized，countryside等，即可很好地理解對話大意和題目，同時，考生應多關注對話中的問題，可能它就是題目出現的問題。

本篇文章採取議論文的形式，着重說明考試的益處以及人們應當如何以正確的心態面對考試。首先作者指出考試很不受歡迎，由於考試以分數作爲衡量標準，這讓學生們感到恐懼和焦慮，因此學生們痛恨考試。但作者又指出，其實考試是有很多益處的。考試可以幫助大家查漏補缺，也可以讓大家更有動力學習。然而，許多人會想當然地認爲考試是衡量一個人價值的標準，這是種危險並錯誤的想法。作者認爲，即使你考試表現得不好，也不意味着你是失敗的、或者你以後不會再做好。總之，考試不能衡量你的個人價值，它只是個衡量你是否掌握好相關知識的工具。
本題考查考生對細節的把握。只要抓住本文的主旨，很容易聽寫出相關詞語。

Q: What does the man mean?

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
14.

Conversation One
W: Well, it’s the South Theater Company. They want to know if we’d be interested in sponsoring a tour they want to make to East Asia.
M: East Asia? uhh… and how much are they hoping to get from us?
W: Well, the letter mentions 20,000 pounds, but I don’t know if they might settle for us.
M: Do they say what they would cover? Have they anything specific in mind?
W: No, I think they are just asking all the firms in tongue for as much money as they think they’ll give.
M: And we are worth 20, 000 pounds, right?
W: It seems so.
M: Very flattering. But I am not awfully happy with the idea. What we get out of it?
W: Oh, good publicity I suppose. So what I suggest is not that we just give them a sum of money, but that we offer to pay for something specific like travel or something, and that in return, we ask for our name to be printed prominently in the program, and that they give us free advertising space in it.
M: But the travel bill would be enormous, and we could never manage that.
W: I know. But why don’t we offer to pay for the printing of the programs ourselves on condition that on the front cover there's something like This program is presented with the compliments of Norland Electronics, and free advertising of course.
M: Good idea. Well, let’s get back to them and ask what the program they want will cost. Then we can see if we are interested or not.
Questions 19-21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What do we learn about the South Theater Company?
20. What benefit does the woman say their firm can get by sponsoring the Theater Company?

Conversation Two
W: Rock stars now face a new hazard --- voice abuse. After last week's announcement that Phil Collins might give up touring because live concerts are ruining his voice, doctors are counseling stars about the dos and don'ts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we have Mr. Paul Phillips, an expert from the High Field Hospital. Paul, what advice would you give to singers facing voice problems?
M: If pop singers have got voice problems, they really need to be more selective about where they work. They shouldn't work in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think about resting their voices after a show. Something else they need to be careful about is medicines. Aspirin, for example, singers should avoid aspirin. It thins the blood. And if a singer coughs, this can result in the bruising of the vocal cords.
W: And is it true that some singers use drugs before concerts to boost their voices when they have voice problems?
M: Yes, this does happen on occasion. They are easily-available on the continent and they are useful if a singer has problems with his vocal cords and has to sing that night. But if they are taken regularly, they cause a thinning of the voice muscle. Most pop singers suffer from three things: lack of training, overuse and abuse of the voice, especially when they are young. They have difficult lives. When they go on tour, they do a vast number of concerts, singing in smoky places.
W: So, what would you advise the singers to do?
M: Warm you voice up before a show and warm it down after.
Questions 22-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Passage 1
Would you trust a robot to park your car? The question will confront New Yorkers in February as the city's first robotic parking opens in Chinatown.
The technology has been successfully applied overseas, but the only other public robotic garage in the United States has been troublesome, dropping vehicles and trapping cars because of technical problems.
Nonetheless, the developers of the Chinatown garage are confident with the technology and are counting on it to squeeze 67 cars in an apartment-building basement that would otherwise fit only 24, accomplished by removing a maneuver space normally required.
A human-shaped robot won't be stepping into your car to drive it. Rather, the garage itself does the parking. The driver stops the car on a flat platform and gets out. The platform is lowered into the garage, and it is then transported to a vacant parking space by a computer-controlled device similar to an elevator that also runs sideways.
There is no human supervision, but an attendant will be on hand to accept cash and explain the system to newly users. Parking rates will be attracted about $400 monthly or $25 per day, according to Ari Milstein, the director of planning for Automation Parking Systems, which is the U.S. subsidiary of a German company. This company has built automated garages in several countries overseas and in the United States for residents of a Washington, D.C. apartment building.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What do we learn about the robot parking in the U.S. so far?
27. What advantage does robotic parking have according to the developers?
28. What does the attendant do in the automated garage?
29. What does the company say about the parking rate?
Passage 2
A recent study shows that meat consumption is one of the main ways that human can damage the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicles. So how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all animals, such as cows, pigs and sheep, always gas limed methane, which is the second most common green house gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that methane is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane that released into the atmosphere coming from farm animals. Another way in which meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef. While 20 gallons of water are need to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland use to for raising cows can produce 250 pounds of beef. One acre of farmland use to for crop production can produce 1,500 pounds of tomatoes. Many people now say the benefits of switching to vegetarian diet which excludes meat and fish. Not just for health reasons, but also because it plays a vital role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian diet. They believe such a diet which includes no products from animal sources can be deficient in many of the necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need. Today many people have come to realize that help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you've just heard.
30. What does the recent study show?
31. What do some nutritionists say about the strict vegetarian diet?
32. What does the speaker think more people need to do?
Passage 3
Alcoholism is a serious disease. Nearly nine million Americans alone suffer from the illness. Many scientists disagree about what the differences are between the alcohol addict and social drinker. The difference occurs when someone needs to drink. And this need gets in the way of his health or behavior. Alcohol causes a loss of judgment and alertness. After a long period, alcoholism can deteriorate the liver, the brain and other parts of the body. The illness is dangerous, because it is involved in half of all automobile accidents. Another problem is that the victim often denies being an alcohol addict and won’t get help. Solutions do exist. Many hospitals and centers help patients cope. Without the assistance, the victim can destroy his life. He would detach himself from the routines of life. He may lose his employment, home or loved ones.
All the causes of the sickness are not discovered yet. There is no standard for a person with alcoholism. Victims range in age, race, sex and background. Some groups of people are more vulnerable to the illness. People from broken homes and North American Indians are two examples. People from broken homes often lack stable lives. Indians likewise had the traditional life taken from them by white settlers who often encourage them to consume alcohol to prevent them from fighting back. The problem has now been passed on. Alcoholism is clearly present in society today. People have started to get help and information. With proper assistance, victims can put their lives together one day.
Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Q33. What is the problem of the victims about alcoholism according to the speaker?
Q34. Why did white settlers introduce alcohol to Indians?
Q35. What does the speaker seem to believe about those affected by alcoholism?
複合式聽寫
Self-image is the picture you have of yourself, the sort of person you believe you are. Included in your self-image are the categories in which you place yourself, the roles you play and other similar descriptors you use to identify yourself. If you tell an acquaintance you are a grandfather who recently lost his wife and who does volunteer work on weekends, several elements of your self-image are bought to light — the roles of grandparent, widower and conscientious citizen.
But self-image is more than how you picture yourself; it also involves how others see you. Three types of feedback from others are indicative of how they see us: conformation, rejection, and disconfirmation. Conformation occurs when others treat you in a manner consistent with who you believe you believe you have leadership abilities and your boss put you in charge of a new work team. On the other hand, rejection occurs when others treat you in a manner that is inconsistent with yourself definition. Pierre Salinger was appointed senator from California but subsequently lost his first election. He thought he was a good public official, but the voters obviously thought otherwise— Their vote was inconsistent with his self-concept. The third type of feedback is disconfirmation, which occurs when others fail to respond to your notion of self by responding neutrally. A student writes what he thinks is an excellent composition, but the teacher writes no encouraging remarks. Rather than relying on how others classify you, consider how you identify yourself. The way in which you identify yourself is the best refection of yourself-image.

【解析】細節題。根據題幹關鍵詞South Theater Company可定位至Well, it’s the South Theater Company. They want to know if we’d be interested in sponsoring a tour they want to make to East Asia. 根據a tour they want to make to East Asia可知，South Theater Company想要去東亞旅行。因此，正確答案爲B。
20. A. A lot of good publicity.
【解析】細節題。根據題幹關鍵詞benefit可定位至What we get out of it? 根據女士的回答可知，她們公司贊助South Theater Company的好處就是獲得很好的宣傳。因此，正確答案爲
A。
21. C. Pay for the printing of the performance programme.
【解析】細節題。根據題幹關鍵詞travel expenses可定位至But the travel bill would be enormous…根據女士的迴應可知，她建議公司pay for the printing of the programs。因此，正確答案爲C。

【解析】細節題。根據題幹關鍵詞pop singers可定位至Most pop singers suffer from three things: lack of training…很多流行歌手缺少專業訓練。因此，正確答案是B。
25. C. Voice problems among pop singers.
【解析】大意題。整段聽力對話的關鍵詞就是voice problems，話題一直圍繞着如何應對嗓子出現的問題，以及可能對嗓子造成傷害的各種情況展開。其餘幾個選項均是以偏概全，不符合對話的大意。因此，正確答案是C。
Q26 A. It has not been very successful.
【解析】細節題。定位至文章開頭The technology has been successfully applied overseas, but the only other public robotic garage in the United States has been troublesome, dropping vehicles and trapping cars because of technical problems. 轉折詞but後是關鍵信息，機器人停車這項技術在海外很成功，但在美國卻碰到了一些麻煩，也就是不太成功，因此正確答案是A。
Q27 B. It increases parking capacity.
【解析】細節題。緊接着上文，轉折詞後再現關鍵信息。Nonetheless… counting on it to squeeze 67 cars in an apartment-building basement that would otherwise fit only 24... 機器人停車可以擠進67輛車，而普通情況下，只能停24輛車，其他選項文中未提到，因此，正確答案是B。
Q28 A. Collect money and help new users.

【解析】推理題。本題略難。從Parking rates will be attracted about $400 monthly or $25 per day...一句可知，機器人停車的收費情況，但四個選項中沒有直接對應的答案，有兩種方法可以得出正確答案，一是排除法，ACD三個選項文中未提及，所以B選項正確;二是從discountable的含義推得，discountable：adj. 可打折扣的;按一個月30天來算，每天25美元，一個月就是750美元，由此可知，老主顧的話每月只要400美元，是有折扣的。因此，正確答案是B。
Q30 D. Meat consumption has an adverse effect on the environment.
【解析】主旨題。主旨題的信息來源一般在文章開頭，A recent study shows that meat consumption is one of the main ways that human can damage the environment. 因此，正確答案是D。adverse：adj. 不利的，有害的。
Q31 B. It lacks the vitamins and minerals essential for health.
【解析】細節題。關鍵詞nutritionists出現在轉折詞However後， They believe such a diet which includes no products from animal sources can be deficient in many of the necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need. 選項中的lack是deficient的同義替換，因此，正確答案是B。
Q32 C. Quit eating meats.
【解析】推理題。從文章最後一句Today many people have come to realize that help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian. 可知，雖然營養學家反對嚴格吃素，但作者認爲更多的人需要成爲素食主義者，也就是不要吃肉。
因此，正確答案是C。
Q33 D. They do not admit being alcohol addicts.
【解析】細節題。從Another problem is that the victim often denies being an alcohol addict and won’t get help. 一句可知正確答案是D。
Q34 A. To stop them from fighting back.

Q35 B. With support they can be brought back to a normal life.
【解析】推理題。從文章的最後一句With proper assistance, victims can put their lives together one day.可知正確答案是B。put one's life together與be brought back to a normal life是同義替換。
