At the beginning of the century there was a big farm called HollywoodRanch. It was near Los Angeles in California. A few yearslater Hollywoodwas one of the most famous places of the world. From the 1910s to the 1950s Hollywood was the filmcenter of the world. Every family knew the names of the film stars CharlieChaplin, Greta Garbo, Bergman and hundreds more.

The reason why people went to Hollywood to make filmswas the sun. At first people made films in New Yorkon the east coast of the United  States. But then they heard about Los Angeles where thereare 350 days of sun every year. As they made all the films by sunlight, thewest coast was a much better place to work.

Also near Hollywood you can find mountains and sea anddesert. They did not have to travel far to make any kind of film.

When TV became popular in the 1960s, Hollywood started makingfilms for television. Then in the 1970s they discovered people still went tocinema to see big expensive films. After twenty years they are still making filmsin Hollywoodand people watch them all over the world.

Does this situation seem familiar to you?Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the readingcomprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently, but:Listening is STILL a problem! First of all, remember that you are not alone.Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost alllearners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is tolisten as often as possible. The first step is to find listening resources. TheInternet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download TheRealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internetlike a radio station.

Once you have begun to listen on a regularbasis, you might still be frustrated (懊恼)by limited understanding. What should you do?

Here is some of the advice I give mystudents:

●Acceptthe fact that you are not going to understand everything.

●Stayrelaxed when you do not understand —even if you continue not to understand for a long time.

●Donot translate what you hear into your native language.

●Listenfor the general idea of the conversation. Don’t concentrate on detail until youhave understood the main ideas.

I remember the problems I had inunderstanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when Ididn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This methodusually resulted in confusion. Then, after the first six months, I discoveredtwo very important facts. Firstly, translating creates a wall betweenthe listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselvesconstantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that —even if I didn’t pay much attention, I could usually understand what thespeaker had said.

55. The best way to improve our listening isto _____.

  A.practise as much as possible  B. find asmany listening resources as possible

  C.use the Internet like a radio station  D.speak naturally and read as much as possible

56. Which of the following is a good habitwhen listening?

  A.Try to understand everything.  B. Try toget the main ideas.

  C.Pay much attention to details.  D.Translate each word in your mind.

57. Why did the writer mention his / herexperience in Germany?

  A. Toprove the importance of translating.  B.To show the problems of speaking a foreign language.

  C. Totell us the importance of staying calm. D. To point out an ineffective method of listening.

58. The underlined part “a wall” in the lastparagraph refers to “_____”.

  A. acommunication barrier (障碍)          B. culture shock  C. language understanding  D. a little misunderstanding

C

This story took place a long time ago. But it has been repeated timeand time again. Everyone is moved by the true story.

The hospital called the Red Cross office to find the young man. Theyoung soldier was rushed to the airport in time to catch the plane.

It was evening when the young soldier walked into the hospital. Anurse took him to the bedsides of the old man. “Your son is here,” she said tothe old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the old man’seyes opened. He dimly(模糊地) saw the young man and got great comfort. He reached out his hand.The soldier held the old man’s hand and offered words of hope. All through thenight the young soldier sat beside the bed. The nurse offered to watch insteadof him for a while, he refused.  

At dawn, the old man died. The nurse started to comfort him but thesoldier asked her, “Who was that old man?” “He was your father,” she answered. “No,he wasn’t. I never saw him before. I knew right away there was a mistake, but Ialso knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here. I realized I wasneeded. So I stayed.”

In the United States, it is not customaryto telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early inthe day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call showsthat the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The samemeaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someonereceives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life anddeath. The time chosen for the call communications is important.

In social life, time plays a very importantpart. In the U.S.A.guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinnerparty is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is nottrue in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be consideredfoolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are madefor a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of timediffers in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise betweenpeople from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness (准时) is valued highly in American life, for example.If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fullyresponsible. In the U.S.no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour. It wouldbe too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a shortapology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words ofexplanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

62. “The same meaningis attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m.”Here “attached” means _____.

A. taken      B. drawn        C. given         D. shown

63. According to this passage,time plays an important role in _____.

A. everyday life    B. school life   C. social life    D. private life

64. What is the main idea of thepassage?

A. The important role of time in sociallife    B. Time is treasure

C. The Importance ofan Announcement      D. Time and Tide Wait for No Man

65. According to thepassage, the author of the article may agree to which of the followingstatements?

A. It is appropriateto send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in theU.S.A.

B. It may beappropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days beforea dinner party date in some countries.

C. It is best for oneto make telephone calls at midnight because it costs much less.

D. If one is less than 5 minuteslate, he has to make a short apology.

“And what do you want?” asked thechemist.

“It’s 35my little brother,” the girlanswered back. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a 36. His name is Andrew and he hassomething 37 growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miraclecan save him.”

“We don’t38miracleshere, child. I’m sorry,” the chemist said, smiling 39atthe little girl.

“How much do you have?” asked the man.

“One dollar and eleven cents, 44Ican try and get some more,” she answered quietly.

That well-dressed man was Dr CarltonArmstrong, a surgeon(外科医生).The operation in the hospital wascompleted without48and it wasn’t long before Andrew was49 again and doingwell.

At the beginning of the century there was a big farm called HollywoodRanch. It was near Los Angeles in California. A few yearslater Hollywoodwas one of the most famous places of the world. From the 1910s to the 1950s Hollywood was the filmcenter of the world. Every family knew the names of the film stars CharlieChaplin, Greta Garbo, Bergman and hundreds more.

The reason why people went to Hollywood to make filmswas the sun. At first people made films in New Yorkon the east coast of the United  States. But then they heard about Los Angeles where thereare 350 days of sun every year. As they made all the films by sunlight, thewest coast was a much better place to work.

Also near Hollywood you can find mountains and sea anddesert. They did not have to travel far to make any kind of film.

When TV became popular in the 1960s, Hollywood started makingfilms for television. Then in the 1970s they discovered people still went tocinema to see big expensive films. After twenty years they are still making filmsin Hollywoodand people watch them all over the world.

Does this situation seem familiar to you?Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the readingcomprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently, but:Listening is STILL a problem! First of all, remember that you are not alone.Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost alllearners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is tolisten as often as possible. The first step is to find listening resources. TheInternet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download TheRealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internetlike a radio station.

Once you have begun to listen on a regularbasis, you might still be frustrated (懊恼)by limited understanding. What should you do?

Here is some of the advice I give mystudents:

●Acceptthe fact that you are not going to understand everything.

●Stayrelaxed when you do not understand —even if you continue not to understand for a long time.

●Donot translate what you hear into your native language.

●Listenfor the general idea of the conversation. Don’t concentrate on detail until youhave understood the main ideas.

I remember the problems I had inunderstanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when Ididn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This methodusually resulted in confusion. Then, after the first six months, I discoveredtwo very important facts. Firstly, translating creates a wall betweenthe listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselvesconstantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that —even if I didn’t pay much attention, I could usually understand what thespeaker had said.

55. The best way to improve our listening isto _____.

  A.practise as much as possible  B. find asmany listening resources as possible

  C.use the Internet like a radio station  D.speak naturally and read as much as possible

56. Which of the following is a good habitwhen listening?

  A.Try to understand everything.  B. Try toget the main ideas.

  C.Pay much attention to details.  D.Translate each word in your mind.

57. Why did the writer mention his / herexperience in Germany?

  A. Toprove the importance of translating.  B.To show the problems of speaking a foreign language.

  C. Totell us the importance of staying calm. D. To point out an ineffective method of listening.

58. The underlined part “a wall” in the lastparagraph refers to “_____”.

  A. acommunication barrier (障碍)          B. culture shock  C. language understanding  D. a little misunderstanding

C

The nurse offered to watch insteadof him for a while, he refused.  

At dawn, the old man died. The nurse started to comfort him but thesoldier asked her, “Who was that old man?” “He was your father,” she answered. “No,he wasn’t. I never saw him before.

In the United States, it is not customaryto telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early inthe day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call showsthat the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The samemeaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someonereceives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life anddeath. The time chosen for the call communications is important.

In social life, time plays a very importantpart. In the U.S.A.guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinnerparty is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is nottrue in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be consideredfoolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are madefor a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of timediffers in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise betweenpeople from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness (准时) is valued highly in American life, for example.If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fullyresponsible. In the U.S.no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour. It wouldbe too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a shortapology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words ofexplanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

62. “The same meaningis attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m.”Here “attached” means _____.

A. taken      B. drawn        C. given         D. shown

A. everyday life    B. school life   C. social life    D. private life

64. What is the main idea of thepassage?

A. The important role of time in sociallife    B. Time is treasure

C. The Importance ofan Announcement      D. Time and Tide Wait for No Man

65. According to thepassage, the author of the article may agree to which of the followingstatements?

A. It is appropriateto send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in theU.S.A.

B. It may beappropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days beforea dinner party date in some countries.
