(Text 1) W: Hi, Tom. How did your experiment go yesterday? M: Well, it wasn’t as easy as I had thought. I have to continue doing it tonight. (Text 2) W: Weren’t you nervous when the professor called on you in class? M: I’ll say I was shaking all over. W: I guess anybody would! (Text 3) M: You look very nice in these shorts. Perhaps the waist is a little bit too tight. Would you like to try a size larger? W: Well, the style isn’t quite what I had in mind. Thank you anyway. M: You’re welcome. (Text 4) W: Can you come to my office and help with some deskwork next week? M: Why? What happened? W: I had to fire my assistant. She didn’t type as quickly as she said she did. (Text 5) W: How do you find your hotel? M: Well, the service is terrible and the staff isn’t very friendly. W: Really? Why don’t you move to another hotel then? M: I should really. But the hotel is in a very convenient location. (Text 6) W: Hi. It’s you again. What can I do for you? M: Well. I’ve got this terrible cough. W: You’ve still got the cough? M: Yes, there doesn’t seem to be any improvement. W: You know what I want to say, right? M: Yes, I know. I’m sorry. But I…I’ve tried but I can’t give it up. W: But you have to if you want to stop coughing. By the way, have you got any cigarettes on you at the moment? M: Er…yeah. W: My advice is to throw away the packet of cigarettes and give up smoking. M: Could you give me something else? For example… W: There’s nothing else. It’s only your will that can help.
M: I suppose you’re right. Thank you. (Text 7) M: Transamerican Airlines. May I help you? W: Yes, I hope so. Do you fly to Paris? M: Yes, we do. Would you like to make a reservation? W: Yes, please. M: All right. Do you want to fly in the morning, or would you prefer an evening flight? W: I never fly in the morning. It’s very bad luck to fly in the morning. Didn’t you know that? M: No, ma’am. I’ve never heard that before…Well, we have two evening fights: one leaves at 6：30 and the other at 9：45. W: Could you tell me how long the flight takes? M: It depends on which flight you take. The 6：30 flight — that’s Flight 903 — makes a stop in Atlanta, so it takes a little longer, about seven hours. W: Will I have to change planes if I take that flight? M: No, it’s direct. (Text 8) M: Good morning. I understand that you’ve got a problem with your washing machine. I’m from the repair company. W: Excellent. Come in, please. The washing machine is in the bathroom upstairs. It keeps breaking down. M: When did it first break down? W: About ten days ago. I’ve tried to use it since then. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Over the last three weeks, it’s also been making a funny noise when it is in use. M: OK. I’ll just take a look inside the machine. (A moment later.) oh, yes. There’s the problem. It’s quite simple. I’ll sort it out in a few minutes. W: What’s wrong with it? M: Part of the motor is loose. I can put it back in place quite easily. W: That’s great. (Text 9) W: How long will it take us to drive to London? M: I think it’s a distance of 180 kilometres from here to London, so it should be a two-hour drive on the motorway. W: That’s unless there is a traffic jam. It could take three hours. M: You’re right. We’ll not be able to travel at high speeds at the beginning and end of the journey. W: So, shall we allow three hours to cover the distance? M: OK. You haven’t seen my company car. I think it’s over five metres long. It has a maximum speed of over 200 kilometres an hour. W: Wow! That’s fast! I don’t think we’ll be traveling that fast on the motorway. M: We can’t. If we went that fast, we would break the speed limit. (Text 10) M: Hello, Lucy. I’m from the Daily Mirror and I’m writing an article for the newspaper. May I ask you several questions? W: Sure. What’s it about? M: What’s the most common problem families have? W: Misunderstandings between parents and their children. M: What’s the main reason? W: I think it’s because parents are too busy nowadays. They usually spend too little time with their children. M: How about children? W: Well, many think that their parents’ views are out of date. So they don’t take them seriously. M: What can parents do to solve this problem? W: In my opinion, the most important thing for parents to do is to pay more attention to their children and be more patient with them. M: What should young people do? W: Well, they should talk to their parents openly about their thoughts and feelings. M: Is it true that girls usually have more problems than boys? W: Not necessarily. Both have problems and all children need their parents’ love and care. M: That’s all I want to ask. Thanks for your time. W: My pleasure. 1—5 BCBCA 6—10 BACAA 11—15 CCBAB 16—20 CACBA 21—25 DDCDB 26—30 ACBAD 31．when I reread his poems 32．to keep / stay in touch with our friends 33．It didn’t take long before / It was not long before 34．Why she fell ill 35．whose stories are known to all 36．are coming to 37．has been discovered 38．When (he was) asked 39．in which people were eaten by the shark 40．time going by 41—45 BDABA 46—50 BCBAD 51—55 BADBA 56—60 DBCDB 61—65 BCCBC 66—70 BBABB 71—75 CBDDB 76—80 CCCDA
One Possible Version Just now, I entered the web site —“Topic for Today”. I feel interested in the report on banning the use of cell-phones in middle school. In fact, more students now come to school with cell-phones. My schoolmates have different opinions. Some think it is convenient (easier)to get in touch with others with the cell -phone，which also makes you feel safe, especially in time of trouble．Besides，it is nice to enjoy various functions of different cell-phones. Others think differently．First, the cell phone is not a must in school，as ther
