Part 2 (3 minutes)
Interlocutor: now,I’d like you to talk about something for about 3 minutes. I’m just going to listen.(现在,我要你们两
个谈大约3分钟的话,我来旁听。)
I”d like you to talk about the picture 3.(我要你们谈论一下
这幅图片)

(place the picture named Opportunity in front of the candidates.)(把图片放在两位考生的面前,图片的名称是机
遇)
I”d like you to talk to each other about opportunity according to the picture .It is not necessary to agree with each other . You have only about 3 minutes for this, so don”t worry if I stop you
and please speak clearly so that we can hear you . OK?(我
要你们两人根据图片相互谈谈有关机遇的问题。不必非得同
意对方的观点。你们只有3分钟,所以如果我打断你们,请
不要担心。尽量地说清楚,好吗,)
Candidates A and B:
A: What is in the picture?
B: A man , an apple and a tree.
A: What does the man find in the first picture?
B: He finds an apple on a tree. Do you know what he wants to do in the second picture?
A: I think he wants to pick it until it grows bigger.
B: Yes , I also think so.But in the last picture the apple dropped onto the ground because it”s too big and the branch can”t stand it.
A: Do you understand why the picture is named
3
“opportunity”? B: I think the opportunity is just like the apple it”s rare and only the luckiest person can obtain it .(我
认为机遇就像是苹果,它非常稀有,只有最幸运的人才能得
到)
A: Therefore , it is advisable that one should cherish the opportunity.
B: I think opportunity is a part of success.Do you think so?
A: Yes , I agree you . The difference between a person who
succeeds and one who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities.
B: so the man in the picture won”t be successful.He just waits to see the opportunity passing by.
Interlocutor: Thank you .(Retrieve the picture sheet.)(收回
图片)
Part 3 (4 minutes)
Interlocutor: now , I”like each of you to talk on your own for about one and a half minutes. I’m going to give each of you a different picture and I”d like you to talk about it Candidato A here is your picture : a girl reporting for her duty to a man .Please let Candidate B have a look at it.(现
在,每个人分别有1分半钟的时间就不同的图片来单独发言。
我会分别给你们一幅不同图片。考生A,这是你的图片:一
4
个女孩在向一个人报到上班。请把你的图片给考生B看一
下。)
Hand over the picture 4 to Candidate A.(把图片递给考生
A.) Candidate B,I”ll give you your pictre in a minute .(考生
B,一会儿我将给你你的图片。)
Candidate A,I”d like you to describe the picture and tell us
what you think about it. Remember you have only about one and a half minutes for this, about one and a half minutes for this, so don”t worry if I interrupt you, OK?
(考生A,我要你描述一个这副图片,告诉我们你的想法。你
只有1分钟,所以如果我打断你,不要担心,这很正常。)
Candidate A:Judging from this picture we can see the boss is very contemptuous of the girl who is reporting for duty . He thinks she can”t be competent for her job . Should men and women be equal? This is a question much talked about by people. Some people hold the opinion that men are superior to women in many ways,just as what the boss says in the picture. I think men and women are born equal.And women are certainly as talented as men if they are given equal
opportuhttp://www.wenku1.Com/news/4FE3866919F4C0E7.htmlnities.They should be equal in all aspects of life since
5
they are playing an equally important role in society. And it is their right as well as their duty to work . So the boss in the picture should not judge one”s competence by the difference of sex.
(从这副图片上我们可以看出,老板对来报到上班的女孩非
常瞧不起,他认为女性是不能胜任这个工作的。男女应该平
等吗,这是许多人谈论过的话题。一些人认为,就像图中的
老板所说的那样,在许多方面男性要比女性优越。我认为男
性和女性天生是平等的。如果女性和男性有同样的机会,那
么女性的才能不比男性差。既然我们在社会发挥着同样重要
的作用,他们就应当在生活的各个方面处于平等地位。工作
既是她们的义务也是她们的权利。所以图中的老板不应该以
性
别的不同来判断一个人能力的大小。)
Interlocutor:Thank you.(Retrieve the picture.)(收回图片)
Candidate B,is there anything else you”d like to say about the picture?(考生B,对这副图片,你还有什么要补充的吗,)
Candidate B:I agree with Candidate A.recently one of my friends can”t find a job only because of the employer”s sex discrimination . I think women should work side by side with men. Women have been distinguishing themselves not only in research institutions, but also in government bodies
6
and other organizations.
Interlocutor:Candidate B ,here is your card: a job interview,please let Candidate A have a look at it.
(Hand over the picture 5 to Candidate B.把图片递给考生
B.) Candidate B,I”dlike you to describe the picture and tell us how to interview for a job. Remember you have only about one and a half minutes for this , so don”t worry if I stop you, OK?(考生B,我要你描述一下这副图片,告诉我
们如何进行求职面试。你只有1分半钟,所以如果我让你停
下,不用担心,好吗,) Candidate B: Judging from the
picture , a girl is having an interview. The interviewer is very arrogant , perhaps because he is not satisfied with the girl”s performance . I think one of the most important step of a successful job hunting is the job
interview. There are thousands of people who are entering new careers and searching for jobs every year. In order to give yourself an edge over others when applying for the job you want, it is important to make a good impression on the interviewer during the job interview. The job interview is the time to “sell yourself” by giving examples of Experiences you”ve had related to the job and by revealing your mood points. Don”t exaggerate the truth . Be honest, but show
7
confidence in yourself and your ability to do the job.(从这个
图片中可以看出,一个女孩正在进行面试。面试者非常傲慢,
或许是因为他对这个女孩的表现不满意。我认为求职成功的
一个重要和环节是面试。每年有成千上万和人进入新的工作
领域,寻求自已的席之地,为了使你在强手如林的求职竞争
中更高一筹,很关键的一点就是要在面试中给人留下良好的
印象。面试中应不失时机“推销”自己,你可以列举自己与此
工作相关的一些经验,也可以充分展示自己的种种优点。不
要夸大事实,要诚实,但应显示出对自己、对自己的工作能
力的信心。) Interlocutor: Thank you.(Retrieve the picture,收回图片)
Candidate A: I agree with what Candidate B said . The job interview is an important part of the job search because the attitude and impression can make the interview accent him/her or refuse him/her.
Remember that you have the power to create a favorable impression on the others.
Interlocutor:Thank you (in the end)

Tapescript:
M: Emily Dickinson is one of the greatest American poets. She was born in a typical New England village in Massachusetts on December 10, 1830. She was the sec
ond child of the family. She died in the same house fifty-six years later. During her life time she never left her native land. She left her home state only once. She left her village very few times. And after 1872 she rarely left her house and yard. In the last years of her life she retreated to a smaller and smaller circle of family and friends. In those later years she dressed in white, avoided strangers, and communicated chiefly through notes and poems even with intimates. The doctor who attended her illness was allowed to

Text 1
It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and a final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure was passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group's on-line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess:
ting for the dominoes to start falling.Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death ? probably by a deadly injection or pill ? to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a
1. From the second paragraph we learn that[A] the objection to euthanasia is diminishing in some countries.[B] physicians and citizens have the same view on euthanasia.[C] technological changes are chiefly responsible for the new law.[D] it takes time to appreciate the significance of laws passed.
2. By saying that
3. When Lloyd Nickson is close to death, he will[A] undergo a cooling off period of seven days.[B] experience the suffering of a lung cancer patient.[C] have an intense fear of terrible suffering.[D] face his death with the calm characteristic of euthanasia.4. What is the author's attitude towards euthanasia?[A] Hostile.[B] Suspicious.[C] Approving.[D] Indifferent.5. We can infer from the text that the author believes the success of the right-to-diemovement is[A] only a matter of time.[B] far from certain.[C] just an illusion.[D] a shattered hope. Part BRead the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Do animals have rights? This is how the question is usually put. It sounds like a useful, ground-clearing way to start.
61) Actually, it isn't, because it assumes that there is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does not have.On one view of rights, to be sure, it necessarily follows that animals have none.
62) Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements. Therefore, animals cannot have
rights. The idea of punishing a tiger that kills somebody is absurd; for exactly the same reason, so is the idea that tigers have rights. However, this is only one account, and by no means an uncontested one. It denies rights not only to animals but also to some people ? for instance, to infants, the mentally incapable and future generations. In addition, it is unclear what force a contract can have for people who never consented to it: how do you reply to somebody who says
63) It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all. This is a false choice. Better to start with another, more fundamental, question: is the way we treat animals a moral issue at all?Many deny it.
64) Arguing from the view that humans are different from animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that animals lie outside the area of moral choice.
