31-35, listen to two students talking: 31-35,....sketches---素描车（车车车车是车的）
W: Hi, Mark, I didn't know you could paint.
M: Well, I'm just learning. it's for my studio art one of one class.
W: It's pretty good for a beginner.
M: Oh thanks, Judy. The instructor really liked my schedules, but she hasn't seen my painting yet.
W: En, there seems to be something wrong with it though.
M: Yeah, I know what you mean. It doesn't look like to me either.
W: I think I know, look here at the sky, it just seems to filled in with other colors of paining.
M: What do you mean? Everyone knows the sky is blue.
W: Well, that depends. Sometime it is and sometime it isn’t, as sunset can be full of reds and purples.
Well, even now, look at now Mark, what do you see?

M: It looks blue to me.
W: Look again. do you see a kind of tallish color?
M: Oh yeah, I see what you mean.
W: By adding some tan to your sky, I think you'll get more actual picture, and the color will look more
natural.
M: I think I'll try that. Gee, how do you get to know so much about paining? Have you taken a lot of
courses?
W: No, actually. But my father is an artist.
M: A professional artist?
W: Oh yeah. He shows his stophin lots of exhibits, everything is when we were kids; he always talks to
us about his work.
M: I wish we could talk some more Judy. How about going for a cup of coffee? I’m ready for a break.
W: I'd love to. but I have to study for a history exam. In fact, I was just on my way to the study group,
and I think I am already late. Maybe tomorrow?
M: Great, I'll meet you at the students’ center after my class. a little after three, OK?
W: Sounds good. Get around now.
M: Bye, Judy.
31, What are the speakers mainly discussing?
32, What is the man doing?
33, What does the woman suggest the man do?
34, How did the woman learn about painting?
35, What does the woman plan to do next?
36-39 listen to a conversation between two students. They are discussing material from US history class.
36-39,....stuff you missed...
pulled along by horses
M: Hey Teresa! thanks for agreeing to help me review all this history material.
W: No problem, Bob. So do you want to start with the stuff missed yesterday? They are part about urban
problems in the colonial period?
M: Yeah, that'll be great.
W: Ok. Well, when the British were building cities in American colonies, they had to figure out how to

make the cities run smoothly, right? Like...take traffic for instance.
M: Traffic? They had traffic that then?
W: Well, not the same kinds of traffic cities have today. Back in 18th centenary there were not any
automobiles like there are now. But there were other vehicles like coaches and carts, you know, the kind
had been pulled by horses say. Only few people could afford to have their own coaches then. but there
were more and more public coaches. And cars, they were a big problem cause car driver usually
overloaded their cars. And these oversize clumsy cars would slow down the traffic, and when you added
to that all the farm animals.
M: Farm animals? In the cities?
W: Lots of them, cattle, pigs and other live stuck rolls in the streets. And they really caused trouble,
although the pigs at least had good reasons for being their.
M: They did?
W: Yeah, the town's people used pigs to clean up the garbage that was thrown into the streets. But then
the pig interfered with traffic.
M: So what do the colonists do?
W: Well, they passed traffic laws. Like one that said, if your animals were found wandering in the street,
they could be seized. Of course people who owned pigs didn't want to keep them penned up because the
pigs were so good at cleaning up the streets.
M: Sounds like a good idea letting them clean up the garbage. But I cannot see how pigs lying around in
the streets could really slow down the traffic.
36, What is the main topic of the conversation?
37, According to the conversation, how did colonists try to make traveling in cities easier?
38, Why were carts consider the problem in colonial towns?
39, According to the conversation, what did colonial town's people do to clean their streets?
Part C
40-43, listen to part of the talk in a Geography class.
Not long ago, some of you may have read about the team of mountain climbing scientists who helped to
recalculate the elevation of the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest(珠穆朗车峰). Of course
the elevation of Mount Everest was determined many years ago using traditional surveying methods.
But these scientists wanted to make a more precise measurement, using a new method that takes

advantage of recent advances in technology; it’s called the Global Positioning System. The Global
Positioning System uses 24 satellites that circle the earth. Each of the satellites is constantly sending out
signals, and each signal contains important information that can be used to determine the longitude,
latitude and elevation at any point on the earth's surface. Well in order to use the system to calculate
amount of Everest’s elevation. Scientists need to put a special receiver on the summit to receive signals
from the satellites. The problem with this was that in the past, the receivers were much too heavy for
climbers to carry. But now these receivers have been reduced to about the size and weight of a hand-held
telephone, so climbers were able to take the receiver to the top of the Everest, and from there, to access
the satellite system signals that would allow them to determine the precise elevation. And it turns out
that the famous peak is actually a few feet higher than us previously thought.
40, What is the talk mainly about?
41, Why does the speaker mention a hand-held telephone?
42, According to the talk, what probably contributed most to the success of the new study of Mount
Everest?
43,In the study described, how were satellite signals used?
47-50
We are going to start today to discuss Congressional aids. That’s the people who worked for our
congressional representatives both in Washington and in the representative’s local district. It used to be
that members of congress had a relatively a small staff of people working for them. and all of these was
are in a primary importance. And now there are thousands of government’s aids. They profoundly affect
the whole government works. Congressional aids work in two different notations, one in Congressional
representative’s local office t, which they were elected, and two, in Washington. Staff in the local office
help members of Congress staying in touch with their districts. These citizens can bring problems in
person or by mail or phone. This personal connection between the aids and local people can be helpful
when the next election comes around. People remember the help they get from office of local
representatives. but as you know, members of congress have to spend most of their times in Washington
taking care of their legislative duties. Over 6000 new laws are introduced to the Congress each session,
without help, representatives would have trouble keeping up with the proposed laws that directly affect
the district. So that’s why the congressional aids play a major role in Washington. They keep the bosses
informed about Penular legislation and just keep their local congress representatives up to date and

inform what’s going on in other parts of Congress. Now another thing that congressional aids do is to
help develop ideas for that their bosses will eventually propose to Congress. This can be called the steps
ultra portfolio function. That’s a bit like in business trying to find out what product is most popular.
Congressional aids promoted or encourage laws they think will be popular for public. You also got other
people work for whole Congress, not just individual member, we will talk about these people next.
