???? 自達爾文以來，生物學家們一直堅信，大自然的運作是沒有計劃的或者是沒有意義的，它不會通過直接的設計途徑去追求目標。但是，今天我們知道，這一信念是個嚴重錯誤。 為什么恰如達爾文所理解和描述的進化就該是無計劃、無理性的呢？當飛機設計工程師們 利用風洞對大量的、根據(jù)統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)制造的機體模型的耐用性能進行檢試，以從中選出功能最佳的設計時，物理學家經(jīng)過上萬次的計算機運算，試圖找出是哪些材料、以怎樣的結合方式、以及什么的結構形式才最適宜用于原子核反應堆的建造時，我們能夠說這中間沒有自然選擇的過程么？他們也未進行事先設計的適應性調節(jié)，而是根據(jù)選擇原理開展工作的。但是人們從未認為這種方法是無計劃、無理性的。

SECTION 1：LISTENING TEST
Part A：Spot Dictation http://tr.hjenglish.com
Directions:? In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Remember you will hear the passage only once.Now let's begin Part A with Spot Dictation.

????? News can be something the authorities want you to know,or something they would rather keep secret.An announcement of a government success,a denial of a ailure,or,a secret scandal that nobody really wants you to talk about.

????? If the authorities want to tell the world some good news,they issue statements,communiqués,and call press conferences.Or politicians make speeches.? Local newspapers,radio and television help to alert foreign correspondents to what is going on.And by making contacts with local officials,journalists can ask for more information or explanation to help them write their stories.

????? Unless the correspondent is an eye-witness,it's rare to trust any single source.Officials have a policy to defend,and opposition politicians want to attack it.Rumor and gossip can also confuse the situation. So, you have to check information as much as possible using common sense and experience as final checks to help establish just what's likely to be the truth,or close to it.

????? Just getting the news is only half the job.A correspondent may be well-informed,but his job is to inform other people,the public.So once the information is available it has to be written in an interesting way which is also easily understood.Particularly for radio,since,while a newspaper reader? can turn back and re-read a sentence or two,the radio listener has only one chance.This also means that only a limited number of facts can be contained in a sentence,that there should be an element of repetition.And vital information necessary to understand the latest development should be presented at the start of a report-in case the producer of a news program decides to shorten an item,by cutting for example the last sentence or two.

????? Finally,the style of presentation must match the subj ect matter.A cheerful voice might be perfect for a royal wedding.But it would be sadly out of place for a report of a plane crash.And this would also confuse and distract the listener,probably making it difficult to understand just what had happened and to whom.

Part B ：Listening Comprehension
Directions: In this part of the test, there will be some short talks and conversations. After each one, you will be asked some questions. The talks, conversations and questions will be spoken only once. Now listen carefully and choose the right answer to each question you have heard and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Now let's begin Part B with Listening Comprehension.

Questions 1~5 are based on the following conversation.
FRED:????? Well,Vic,I'm sure all our listeners would love to be brought up to date on the latest in tiny television.
VIC:?????? It's an expanding market,Fred,that's for sure,and they seem to be getting smaller every year.
FRED:????? Which countries are dominating the market?
VIC:?????? At the moment it's Japan,principally.In the spring of 1982 Sony introduced the Watchman.
FRED:????? Is that the Walkman? http://tr.hjenglish.com
VIC:?????? No, the Watchman is a portable black and white TV set with a tiny 5 cm screen and aerial.
FRED:????? How big is the whole thing?
VIC:?????? Oh, I'd say about 35 cm by 12 cm and it weighs only a couple of kilograms.
FRED:????? Was it a success from the start?
VIC:?????? Funnily enough,a Sony executive said that no one would want to watch a TV while walking around-and also a slightly larger model could be bought for half the price!
FRED:????? Really?
VIC:?????? But, despite this pessimistic view, sales of this model far outnumbered projections.
FRED:????? Well, you never can tell! How big was the initial production?
VIC:?????? The company started with 2000 units per month and increased to 5000 by the end of 1982, but they still couldn't keep up with the demand.
FRED:????? So I suppose they upped the production levels even higher.
VIC:?????? It was much more radical than that! In the spring of 1983 Sony pulled out all the stops and launched the Watchman all over again with a new model.
FRED:????? Oh, what's it like?
VIC:?????? Well, it's 20 per cent smaller and the price is 25 per cent less…
FRED:????? Mmmm. http://tr.hjenglish.com
VIC:?????? … and the components were designed from scratch.
FRED:????? And what about production levels?
VIC:?????? They quadrupled to 20,000 units a month just for the Japanese market!
FRED:????? Wow! The Watchman certainly seems to have taken off.
VIC:?????? Indeed it has.
FRED:????? And I believe there were other Japanese companies as well.
VIC:?????? Yes. At the end of 1982 Hattori-that's H—A—T—T—O—R—I—you know,the makersof Seiko watches—well,they unveiled an even smaller TV,around 3 cm, which is built into a wrist-watch.
FRED:????? Incredible!
VIC:?????? It certainly is.The rest of the set is carried separately in your pocket and it's about the size of a packet of kingsize cigarettes.
FRED:????? And how does it work?
VIC:?????? It has a liquid crystal display screen.The TV receiver and battery pack fit into your pocket,and they re connected by a cord to the watch.
FRED:????? Is there a headphone?
VIC:?????? Oh, yes, that's plugged into the receiver as well.
FRED:????? Seems a bit complicated, that one, with all the wires and bits and pieces.
VIC:?????? Yes, it does.
FRED:????? Any other Japanese models?
VIC:?????? Yes,Casio—that's C—A—S—I—O.Their latest is a calculator-sized TV about one-third the bulk of the Watchman and with 1983 production figures of 2000 units a month.
FRED:????? I see.
VIC:?????? And,according to a spokesman,they hope to match their calculator sales,which are about 25 million units per year.
FRED:????? Very impressive.And no doubt other Japanese companies will jump on the bandwagon.
VIC:?????? Most likely.
FRED:????? Now,could you tell us about other countries making these tiny TVs?
VIC:?????? Of course. From Sinclair in England there s one similar in size to the Casio,and their production levels were 1 million for 1983.
FRED:????? Obviously they're planning on backing a winner!
VIC:?????? How right you are. A representative said they expect a mass-market response,not just as a novelty item.
FRED:????? And just which market are the manufacturers aiming at?
VIC:?????? Mainly the commuters who spend hours going to and from work. These tiny TVs will provide relief from the monotonous train and bus rides.
FRED:????? Well,Vic,thanks for keeping us in touch with this extremely popular gadget.
VIC:?????? My pleasure,and happy viewing to all of you with those wee TVs.

Question No.2.???? When was this product recommended to the public?
Question No.3.???? Which of the following companies first introduced this product?
Question No.4.???? Which group of people are most likely to form the main market for this product?
Question No.5.???? According to the talk, which of the following is true about its market?

Questions 6~10 are based on the following conversation. http://tr.hjenglish.com
Male:????? How many different countries do you think you ve been to?
Female:??? Once I made a count of how many countries I'd hitchhiked through and it came to twenty eight.So if you add on a few more for those where I haven't hitched, I imagine it comes to about forty by now.
Male:????? About forty!And are there any of these that you feel you really would like to go back to?
Female:??? Two that I could actually live in I think.One would be the west coast of Canada because I think that had everything to offer.It was rich culturally,it was very bright,it had a very pleasant climate,slightly improved on Britain.It had the Rocky Mountains behind,loads of coastline,um,a lot? going on both day and night,a large university,and it wasjust near America if you felt like crossing the border.The other place I liked,but more for a? holiday,was Sardinia,which I found was one of the quietest,most unspoilt parts of Europe that I've seen.
Male:????? What is it about traveling that makes you want to keep doing it?
Female:??? I think it's the one time when I feel completely alive every minute of the day.I also feel I have a tremendous amount of experience to bring back every time I've traveled,there's so much to share with other people.I feel I've got, sort of,two hundred per cent of me to give once I come back. But when I'm actually doing it,you're free from all the bounds of routine,you re free from the assumptions people make about you.You re free from the inhibitons that? cause you not to fully be yourself and enjoy yourself because of what people might think and so on.
Male:????? But it can also be a little bit dangerous at times too, can't it?
Female:??? It can certainly be dangerous if you re doing it alone.I avoid traveling alone whenever I can.I mostly go with people I know very well and this? is part of the traveler discovering the person you're traveling with and discovering the differences in taste and the similarities in taste. But, um the most dangerous situation I found myself in was nearly being knifed here in Devon,in Tlfracombe.But apart from that,I was on a train in Hungary where there was a murder in the loo,and we were kept for 10 hours while they investigated why somebody had been stabbed in the loo. I've also slept,voluntarily,in a prison in Norway and another prison in Germany. Um and in one of them we were locked in and heard the other prisoners shouting and banging on the doors and that felt quite frightening.Um I managed to get right into the center of the Middle East war through no choice of my own.They wouldn't let us out of the plane and we were caught throughout the whole war in the country and couldn't get around at all.That felt as if you were living on a knife edge;we were lying there contemplating quite coolly whether,if you were living on a knife edge;we were lying there contemplating quite coolly whether,if there was an air raid, we should actually go into the shelter or allow ourselves to be killed on the spot.And,er there are certainly risks and I think more so when you do travel alone,so I try and avoid it.

Question No.6.???? How many countries has the woman been to?
Question No.7.???? Which place does the woman seem to like most?
Question No.8.???? Considering that traveling can be dangerous at times, what does the woman do?
Question No.9.???? Which of the following is true about the woman?
Question No.10.??? Why does the woman want to keep traveling?

Questions 11~15 are based on the following news.
Here is a summary of the news. http://tr.hjenglish.com
????? “No general election yet” says the Prime Minister.
????? Five people die in an earthquake in central Italy.
????? And one-fourth million pounds is stolen from a security van.
????? And one-fourth million pounds is stolen from a security van.

???? In a speech in the city of London last night, the Prime Minister announced that there will be no general election in the near future. Talk of a quick elction was pure speculation,she said.A general election would be held when it was in the best interests of the nation to do so.

???? In central Italy, several small towns and villages are still cut off by avalanches following the earthquake during the night which killed five people. It was central Italy's strongest earthquake for several years and hundreds of people have been made homeless.In Rome,as well as in Florence,Naples and? Perugia,gas pipes were broken,windows shattered and electric cables thrown onto the streets.

???? Thieves got away with almost one-fourth million pounds after security van was ambushed in central London early this morning. The security van was rammed by a lorry as it was taking a short cut through a narrow street off Piccadilly.Three masked men then threatened the driver and his assistant with shotguns and forced one of them to unlock the van.The thieves made their escape in a car parked nearby.This car was later found abandoned in south London.The driver of the van and his assistant were badly shaken but not seriously hurt.

???? Hospital waiting lists in the southwest of England have gone up by a quarter in the last five years.While the number of doctors,nurses and other staff have increased,the demand on the service has grown even faster.

Question No.11.????? What does the Prime Minister say about the general election?
Question No.12.????? What happened in central Italy?
Question No.13.????? Where did the raid on a security van take place?
Question No.14.????? About how much money was stolen from the security van?
Question No.15.????? Which of the following statements is true about the hospitals in south-western England

Questions 16~20 are based on the following talk.
???? The figures for burglaries have risen alarmingly over the last few years and are now quite appalling.Let me quote you a few statistics about break-ins.
?
???? A house is burgled in Britain now about every two minutes,and over the past three years the number of burglaries reported to the police has risen by approximately 50,000 to well over 400,000 this year.The insurance companies report that last year alone household burglary losses rose by 27 per cent over the previous year to 138.2 million,and several companies are refusing to provide burglary cover in what we might call high-risk areas.

???? There are, nevertheless,half a dozen measures which can be taken against burglaries,which I will briefly outline for you.It really only requires some basic common sense and a small outlay,combined with a little knowledge of the way a burglar thinks and operates.You have to put yourself in his position, really. Most burglars are opportunists looking for an easy break-in, so don t make things simple for them.Don't advertise the fact you re out or away, or be careless about security.Even if you're just popping out for a quarter of an hour,don't leave doors and windows open or unlocked.A burglary can take less than ten minutes.

???? This time element leads me to my second main point,that where a house is hard to get into and will take a long time to do so because you've fitted good locks and bolts on your exterior doors and windows or even burglar alarms,the chances are that the burglar will move on to somewhere easier.There are plenty of these,I can assure you.Milk bottles left on the doorstep,papers by the front door,garage doors wide open,curtains drawn in the daytime or undrawn at night are all indications.For comparatively little you can buy a programmed time-switch that'll turn on and off a light at appropriate times.

????? Not all burglaries happen while you are out,of course.You should always be wary of callers at the door who say, for example,that they ve come to read the gas meter;always check their credentials,and if in doubt don't let them in.It's also a good idea to keep a record of serial numbers on electrical equipment, radios,TVs and so on,or even to take photographs of valuable jewelry, antiques or pictures.

Question No.16.????? How many burglaries have been reported this year?
Question No.17.????? How does the insurance industry react to the rise of burglaries?
Question No.18.????? Which does the insurance industry react to the rise of burglaries?
Question No.19.????? Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?
Question No.20.????? What might be the best title for this passage?

SECTION 4: LISTENING TEST http://tr.hjenglish.com
Part A: Note-taking and Gap-filling
Directions: In this part of the test,you will hear a short talk.You will hear the talk only once. While listening to the talk,you may take notes on the important points so that you can have enough information to complete a gap-filling task on a separate answer booklet.You are required to write ONE word or figure only in each blank.You will not get your answer booklet until after you have listened to the talk.Now listen to the talk carefully.

????? Over the last fifty years housework has been made considerably easier by the invention of an increasing number of labor-saving devices and appliances,? mostly electrical,which have drastically cut down the amount of time and effort previously needed to do the everyday household chores.For many years now there have been vacuum cleaners, electric irons,washing machines and floor-polishers;now we have electric potato-peelers and even electric carving knives.We can buy cookers that will switch themselves on and produce a meal that is ready to eat the minute we get back home.If we have one of those electric pop-up toasters, we can make toast at the breakfast table itself. Mashed potatoes can be quickly and effortlesslymade with a mixer,which usually has a variety of attachments that enable you to make all sorts of other more exotic things like fresh orange juice or real mayonnaise.And a tumble-drier can save you from the frustration of hanging out the washing only to have to bring it in again ten minutes later when a menacing storm-cloud looms over.Probably the most? important piece of electrical equipment to become widely used in the last twenty years is the dishwasher.Washing up by hand is not only a time-consuming task (it can take longer than eating the meal itself), but also an extremely boring one, particularly when you are on your own, and it also ruins your hands. Dishwashers come in a range of different sizes and models to suit your purse,the size of your family,and the layout of your kitchen.They can be stood up on the floor or on a worktop,or they can be mounted on a wall. And their capacity ranges from six to twelve place-settings. If you buy one, it is worth having it plumbed into the mains water supply to save you from having to connect rubber pipes to your taps each time you use it. All you have to do is load the dirty dishes, glasses and cutlery into the racks inside the machine, pour in some special detergent powder, close the door and switch it on; it does the rest by itself while you get on and? do more interesting things. Of course, most dishwashers can't accommodate large saucepan and frying pans, and you do have to scrape all scraps of solid food from the dishes before you put them in to avoid blocking the filters, but the machine will wash almost? everything else and get rid of even the most stubborn egg and listick? stains. When the washing cycle is over, the machine dries the plates and glasses with its own heat, and indeed they can be left inside until they are needed for the next meal.

????? If you buy a medium-sized dishwasher,you probably won't need to wash up more than once a day. The drawback of this, of course, is that you have to have enough dishes, cutlery, etc. to last three or four meals. So it can happen that people who buy a dishwasher have to buy new china and glasses, either because they haven't got enough or because the ones they ve got don't fit the machine. This extra expense may not only be necessary, but also desirable, for one has to remember that dishwashers can be aute noisy. This means that many people prefer only to use their machine once a day, preferably last thing at night, when you can just shut the kitchen door on it and go to bed.
