中模拟试题(一)听力原文
1. W: Did you visit the Television Tower when you had your vacation in Shanghai last summer?
M: I couldn't make it last June. But I finally visited it two months later. I plan to visit it again sometime next year.
2. M: Prof. Kennedy has been very busy this semester. As far as I know, he works until midnight every day.
W: I would't have troubled him so much if I had known he was so busy.
3. W: If I were you, I would have accepted the job.
M: I turned down the offer because it would mean frequent business trips away from my family.
4. M: How are you getting on with your essay, Mary? I'm having a real hard time with mine.
W: After two sleepless nights, I'm finally through with it.
5. W: Where did you say you found this bag?
M: It was lying under a big tree between the park and apartment building.
6. M: Wouldn't you get bored with the same routine year after year teaching the same things to children?
W: I don't think it would be as boring as working in an office. Teaching is most stimulating.
7. M: I was terribly embarrassed when some of the audience got up and left in the middle of the performance.
W: Well, some people just can't seem to appreciate real-life drama.
8. W: Oh, it's so cold. We haven't had such a severe winter for so long, have we?
M: Yes, the forecast says it's going to get worse before it warms up.
9: M: You were seen hanging about the store on the night when it was robbed, weren't you?
W: Me? You must have made a mistake. I was at home that night.
10. M: Would you like a copy of professor Smith's article?
W: Thanks, if it's not too much trouble.
Answer questions 11 — 15 based on the following dialogue.
M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe. When is it that you are leaving?
W: In just three weeks, and I am excited. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go.
M: Like what?
W: Like renewing my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone.
M: You are not going to give it up, are you?
W: No way. I'll never find another apartment around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months' rent on an empty apartment, either.
M: I don't blame you. Perhaps you could sublet it.
W: Yes, but to who?
M: Mmn, let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine. Jim Thomas, is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August.
W: That's exactly when I'll be away. It sounds ideal, as long as the landlord agrees.
M: Tell you what. I'll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I'll mention it to him then.
W: Well, thanks, Bill. Let me know what happens. That extra money will really come in handy.
Answer questions 16 — 20 based on the following dialogue.
W: Jim, thank goodness, you've arrived. The class presentation started half an hour ago and I was just beginning to panic.
M: I am sorry. I'm late, Helen. This morning has been a real mess. I didn't think I was going to make it here at all.
W: Why are you late? Our whole presentation depends on those graphs you are holding.
M: Yes, I know, I'll tell you about it later. First, let's see how we are doing for time. Two groups are still ahead of us, aren't they? The presentation on the rights of the consumer and the analysis of the stock market. That means I've got about twenty minutes to thaw out.
W: You do look cold. What happened?
M: I've been standing outside in Arctic temperatures for over an hour waiting for a bus.
W: Over an hour. But I thought your apartment was only a ten-minute bus ride to campus.
M: Under normal conditions. But the bus was delayed because of the weather and when I stepped into a drugstore to call home for a ride, the bus went by. As luck would have it, there was no one at home, so I had to wait another forty-five minutes for the next bus.
W: That's Murphy's law, isn't it? What was it he said, "If anything can go wrong, it will." Well, we've still got twenty minutes to gather our wits together.
M: We'd better stop talking. People are turning around and looking at us.
Answer questions 21 — 25 based on the following dialogue.
W: Wake up, Erik, time to rise and shine.
M: Huh, Oh, hi, Jane. I must have fallen asleep while I was reading.
W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a camp-ground than a library.
M: Well, the dorm's too noisy to study in, and I guess this place is too quiet.
W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper?
M: No, Prof. Grant told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. For once I wish she hadn't given us so much of a choice.
W: Well, why not write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.
M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I'll be writing forever, and Grant only wants five to seven pages.
W: So then limit it to one region of Mexico. Say the Ukatun. You've been there and you said it's got lots of interesting relics.
M: That's not a bad idea. I brought plenty of books and things back with me last summer, that would be great resource material. Now if I could only remember where I put them.
