2. W: You are looking a little overwhelmed.

M: No wonder, I got a million things to do and all of them have to be finished in the next twenty minutes.

Q: What does the man mean?

(B) You are looking a little overwhelmed.是看上去有点筋疲力尽的意思。No wonder的意思是一点都不奇怪a million things是夸张的说法。

3. M: How about the red dress? I know you like red, besides, it’s of the latest design. W: Well, red is a bit bright for me. I think I should take the blue one. It’s not a new

arrival for the season, but it’s on sale and the color looks good on me. Q: Why does the woman choose the blue one?

M: Is this table in the corner OK? W: Sure, we can sit here.

M: Gee, you've hardly got anything on your tray.

W: Yeah, I guess I'm just not that hungry. M: What's the matter? Are you feeling well?

W: Well, I've been really worried. It's my car. It's in the shop again! M: Really? What's wrong this time?

W: I don't know exactly. Something's wrong with the brakes I think.

M: Well, at least that shouldn't cost too much to fix. Parts are cheaper for old American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost? W: He said he'd call me with an estimate later today. M: Watch out he doesn't try to take advantage of you. W: What do you mean?

M: Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, they might try to overcharge that person.

W: Maybe so, but I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. He's done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be reasonable. M: Oh, that's good. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, do you need a ride home after class today?

W: Oh, I'll sure appreciate it. It's really tough getting around without a car when you live off campus.

M: Good morning. Miss. White. I'm Bill Green. Yesterday afternoon I called you… W: Ah, yes. Mr. Green, I remember our appointment. You said you have some trouble in finding a job?

M: Yes. You see, personally I think I have got good qualifications. But out of some reasons, I often fail during or after the interview. W: May I have a look at your resume? M: Sure. Here you are.

W: Well, first I must say, your resume has outlined your past very well, but only a statement of past can rarely get you inside a company. I suggest you give employers an example of what you can do for them. You may create a new area in your resume. Call it \bring to that particular employer.

M: Hey, I get that point! For example, I can say things like \can reduce your operations costs by simplifying our shipping department\

W: Exactly. But be specific and create a separate resume for each company you approach. By the way, do you feel nervous at an interview?

You've probably had the experience of having someone fall in love with you when you didn't return the feeling. In such a case it's hard to know what to do. You want to discourage your admirer. Yet you don't want to be so obvious in your efforts that you make an enemy of him or her.

A friend of mine had this problem and handled it in the most tactful way I've ever seen. Instead of telling the young man that she found it tiresome to have him around so much, she devoted herself to introducing him to every girl she knew. Whenever she had a date with him, she arranged for them to drop in at the home of one of her girl friends. A few weeks was all it took for him to click with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy. The new girl and the young man got along just fine and both of them were grateful to my friend for having brought them together. My friend was rid of a problem and she still had the young man as a friend, which was just what she wanted him to be.

Of course this solution may not work for you. You may have your own ways of dealing with the problem. But whatever you decide to do, keep one thing in mind @ the boy in question has feelings every bit as sensitive as your own. So try to find a way of discouraging him without hurting him.

Years ago before there were refrigerators, an icehouse was a building used for storing ice. The first icehouses were in the cellars of farmhouses. Pieces of ice, mixed with snow and meadow grass, were piled in winter and kept until the following summer. Soon farmers began to build separate houses for storing ice. These icehouses had double walls with hay stuffed between to keep out any heat. Blocks of ice were put inside the icehouse and packed with straw or sawdust.

Where did the ice for these icehouses come from? Workers took it from a frozen pond or river. They sawed the ice into even blocks. Then they pulled the ice blocks from the water with hooks and carried them to the icehouses on sleds. Special tools helped the workers cut and handle the ice. Ice axes chopped large holes in the ice. Ice saws cut the ice into even blocks. Choppers loosened these blocks from one another. Ice hooks fastened themselves into the large blocks. Then they could be carried over the frozen surface of the pond or river. Tongs were used to pick up the smaller blocks of ice.

Ships carried ice all over the world. In 1799 the first boatload in the United States was sent from New York City to icehouses in New Orleans, Louisiana. A boatload was sent from Boston, Massachusetts, to the West Indies to help fight yellow fever in 1805. Ice merchants in Boston also shipped tons of ice from ponds and rivers to cities in Europe.

Life in the twentieth century must demand preparations. Today, all individuals in a country must have adequate schooling to prepare them for their work as well as for their responsibilities as citizens. With this faith in mind, national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young.

In the United States, government officials, parents, and teachers are working hard to give the children -- tomorrow's decision-makers -- best preparation available.

There is no national school policy in the United States. Each of the fifty states makes its own rules and regulations for its schools, but there are many similarities among the fifty school systems. Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state. In most states the children are required to attend school until they reach the age of sixteen.

When they become six years old, children begin elementary school. After six years in elementary, they go into junior high school and remain there for three years. The last three years of their public school education are spent in senior high school from which they graduate at the age of eighteen.

A great number of high school graduates continue their education in one of the many colleges or universities in the country. After four years, they receive a bachelor's degree. Some continue studying for a master's degree and perhaps a doctor's degree. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard. 22. What is the main topic of the talk?

24. Where do public schools get their financial aid?

(B) 细节题。文章说，Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state，即公立学校的费用由各个州纳税人所缴纳的税来支付。

25. At what age do most students get their first degree?

(C) 细节题。文章说学生们十八岁高中毕业后经过四年的学习，也就是在他们二十二岁时就拿到了学士学位，即他们的第一个学位。 Section C

There are something like eleven million meetings taking place in the United States every day of the working week, it has been (26) estimated. Meetings must be a very important (27) aspect of modem life. The (28) reason is that people meeting together often come up with better ideas and (29) decisions than one person working alone. It gives the members a chance to (30) present their idea; and have them (31) challenged and changed by (32) argument and discussion. This, it is hoped, (33) leads to a better use of time and money.

(34) The chairperson, sometimes referred to merely as \Chair\is there to keep the discussion in order. The chairperson can prevent real conflicts breaking out in discussion and stop arguments from becoming clashes of different personalities. (35) Furthermore, the chairperson helps to guide and stimulate the discussion and summarize it in the end before decisions are taken. By acting as a mediator between the various opinions that are presented during a meeting, the chairperson can direct the discussions to a reasonable conclusion.

Few people who act as chairperson to a meeting have any training in the process of occupying the chair. This accounts for why so many meetings are a complete waste of everybody's time. It is very easy to make fun of someone else's suggestions, (36) especially if you are trying to improve your own status or have another idea which you want to put forward instead. However, it is up to the chairperson to see that people get a fair chance to promote their ideas and stop anyone using the meeting to demolish and demean other people.
