Part B Listening Comprehension Directions: In this part of the test there will be some short talks and conversations. After each one, you will be asked some questions. The talks, conversations and questions will be spoken ONLY ONCE. Now listen carefully and choose the right answer to each question you have heard and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. 听力原文:M: Hi, Nicole, I heard you've bought a house in the suburbs, how can you manage to get to work from such a faraway place? W: The commuter trains leave or arrive regularly every morning and they just don't look like the same human sardine tins as in the city. M: But in a big city you can enjoy the "bustle and hustle" of life, the busy streets, the tail buildings, the crowds, the gleaming coloured lights after dark... W: Ken, admittedly, these are the very reasons that make me buy this house. You know, I was born in Ohio, I can't stand being separated from the land for long. In the country, I feel so close to nature. I breathe fresh air and eat fresh fruit and vegetables. Can you enjoy the "rhythm of the seasons" in downtown? M: Mmm, possibly you're right. The city-dwellers almost lose touch with the land. Sometimes, I'm hardly conscious of seasons from flowers and leaves around us, but from the weatherman. However, in downtown, there're plenty of forms of entertainment, you can ease your pressure of work and life in cinemas, theatres, discos... W: In those places with the roar of traffic, the honking of horns, the crowds and endless car jams? Come on, why not listen to the humorous country sounds of cows and goats? Why not enjoy a natural beauty? I think that's the real peace and quiet needed after an exhausting day. M: There's something in that, I suppose. But I'm fond of making new friends, you know, then I have a vast population to choose from if living in the city. On the contrary, in the countryside, quite possibly I can't meet more than twenty people in a whole day. W: I know you've been always in the limelight since we stayed at university. However, you're living just in the suburbs, not in a primitive society. Now more and more people have bought or plan to buy the house in the country, you can find quite a few friends around you. It's like living in an extended family where you can relax and feel at home. M: Sounds attractive! Maybe I should be one of your neighbours. W: Welcome! Questions:
What's the relationship between Nicole and Ken?2.What are they discussing? 3.What can we learn about Nicole? 4.How should a person relax himself according to Ken? 5.Which of the following is TRUE about the passage? (21) A.Former schoolmates. B.Colleagues. C.Boss and secretary. D.Neighbours.
