great performance, which shows many aspects of the hero’s rich character.

provides better sound effects. Besides, with more people around, the atmosphere is much better than when I watch movies alone at home.

Reference answers

1. The man I like should be strong and fit, without a beard. And he should not have long hair.

The woman I like most is someone who is slim and healthy. She should have long hair and big eyes. And I like girls who smile a lot. I believe everyone has something beautiful about them, regardless of age, race, gender, size, ability, etc. I don’t think being lighter or slimmer equals beauty. Instead, I think the inner self counts a lot more than outer appearance. Virtues such as honesty, hard-working, and willingness to help make one a beautiful person. / beauty is what we see and feel. So my idea of beauty is what is pleasing to the eyes. As long as it makes you feel good, it is beauty. So both inner qualities and body features are important factors to make one look beautiful. Of course, what one considers beautiful may not appear the same to someone else. That is why beauty standards are different from person to person, culture to culture and time to time.

2. The ideas of beauty have changed over the past several decades in China. Truly, on the one

hand, many still stick to the idea that one’s inner quality counts more than outer appearance. Honesty, hard-working, generosity, and kindness are considered inner beauty. On the other hand, more and more people think outer appearance is more important. Nowadays, many people, especially young people, hold some new ideas about beauty. For example, long straight black hair used to be thought as one feature of beauty, but now young people want to look stylish by having their hair curled and dyed. They follow the fashion tread and put fashionable clothes and wear make-up. More people are afraid of not looking attractive enough. So they go on diet to look thinner and receive some cosmetic surgeries to look better. Still many others realize that it is important to live a healthy lifestyle and learn to love their own body for its uniqueness.

3. I don’t think it is wise to judge a person by his/her appearance because appearance is

superficial. Sometimes the appearance of a person may mislead your judgment when it doesn't match well with the inner part of that person. For example, an ordinary-looking person can be a scientist, a hero, or a great thinker. Just as the proverb goes, “Never judge a book by its cover.”The greatness of a book lies in its content instead of its cover. So it is with a person. Instead of focusing only on one’s appearance, we should get to know more about that person’s education, life experiences and life attitude before we make any judgment.

M: After such a tiring week, I can’t wait to have a rest and relax a little this weekend.

W: Me too, Mr. Simpson. So what are you doing this weekend? Looks like it’ll be nice weather for sailing.

M: Yes, Mary, I hope it stays this sunny. I’m going out to the beach and spending all weekend surfing.

W: You, sir? Surfing?

M: Haha, I bet you think I’m too old for surfing! I’ve been surfing since I was 11, and It’s still my favorite activity. The cool blue waves, the smell of the sea, just take me back to when I was a teenager free from care.. I forget all my troubles. By Sunday night, I fall into a deep sleep, sore and tired, without a care in the world.

W: That’s really nice. I’m going to the beach, too. I love relaxing in the warm sun, watching my niece and nephew play in the sand and jump in the waves. They’ll tire themselves out building sand castles, collecting seashells, and trying to bury each other in the sand.

M:Oh, I remember building sand castles with my brothers… such great fun. How old are little Timmy and Monica now?

W: Tim’s five and Monica’s three. M: Wow, kids grow up so fast!

Passage 1 Scripts

People in Britain enjoy various leisure activities including watching TV, seeing friends and relatives, listening to music, shopping, listening to the radio, gardening, doing sports, reading, and so on. The latest data from a survey show that in 2010, 89 percent of all adults watched television in their free time. Spending time with family and friends was the second most popular activity at 84 percent, listening to music came next at 76 percent, and shopping was fourth at 71 percent.

Truly, the most common leisure activity in the UK has been watching television.The average viewing time is 25 hours per person per week. Many television programs are about wildlife,

animals, holidays, cooking and gardening. All these things are much valued by British people. The second most popular activity in Britain is visiting or entertaining friends or relatives. Actually, in the survey, those aged 25 to 34 reported spending time with friends and family as their tip activity. Besides, many British people like to listen to music. Among those aged 16 to 24 spending time listening to music was selected as their top activity.

Younger people tend to have different hobbies from old people. According to the survey, comparing the 16 to 24 age group with those aged 55 and over, the activities which were reported less frequently as age increased were listening to music; surfing the Internet and emailing; doing sports and exercise; going out to pubs, clubs or bars; and going out to the cinema. For example, people aged 16 to 24 spent more than 3 hours a day using a computer while those aged 55 and over spent only 1 hour and 12 minutes. Again comparing the youngest and oldest age groups, the activities which were reported more frequently as age increased were reading and gardening.

Q1: According to the survey, what percentage of British adults watched TV in their free time? Q2: Which age group would be the most likely to visit their friends and relatives?

Q3: What does the speaker say about listening to music as a leisure activity for British people? Q4: According to the survey, how are leisure activities related to age?

Passage 2

Scripts and answers

People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading materials are 1)comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the 2)traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? A yearly book festival in west Los Angeles is 3)constantly“sold out” year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become 4)available. This outdoor festival, supported by a newspaper, takes place every April for one weekend. This year, about 70,000 people 5)took part in the festival on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival 6)attracted 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an 7)audience question-and-answer period following each talk. A food court sold all kinds of local foods, from hotdogs to ice drinks. Except for a $7 parking fee, the festival was 8)free of charge. Even so, some people take their own sandwiches and drinks to avoid the high prices of the food court.

The idea for holding the festival in Los Angeles was 9)put forward years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would people in this city 10)embrace one? “Fortunately, they do,” said one of the festival founders.
