SECTION 6: TRANSLATION TEST http://tr.hjenglish.com
?? For a very long period of historical development, mankind could only pass on music though performance and oral instruction. When mankind invented musical scores, music started to break away from the boundaries of being merely a performing art, and develop into a system of “ritten symbols”that can be recorded and spread. Undoubtedly, however, it was the scientists who should be crowned as the founders of the real revolutionary milestone of human musical communication. Scientists invented marvelous means of music transmission, beginning from the earliest mechanical “record turntable”to today's many kinds of “electronic media”. Among the numerous means of music transmission of the 20 century, the creation and development of radio broadcasting played an extremely important role in the industry of music transmission.
Nevertheless, the rapid development of high technology has brought serious challenges to China's radio music workers in the new century.

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 NSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage only once. Now let's begin Part A with Spot Dictation.
?? Business people spend quite a lot of time in meetings and meetings come in all shapes and sizes: ranging from formal committee meetings to informal one-to-one meetings.
?? There are several reasons why meetings are held: reaching decisions in a meeting means that all the participants can feel more committed to the decision: more information is available; and different ideas can be contributed.
?? Meetings can lead to more imaginative and informed decisions—often more courageous decisions than one person might feel brave enough to make.
?? But meetings also have drawbacks: more time is required; there's more talk, sometimes irrelevant and repetitive; and more group pressure.
?? The more people there are at a meeting, the longer it may take to reach a decision. There seem to be ideal sizes for meetings, depending on the purpose—a meeting where information is being given to people can be quite large, as questions from the floor may be asked by a few individuals on everyone else's behalf.
?? The way a committee operates often depends on the style of its leader or chairperson: he or she may control the proceedings or let everyone speak whenever they want. An effective chairman should be flexible. In some meetings the members have to take a vote before a decision can be made: formal proposals or “motions” may have to be tabled, seconded and discussed before a vote can be taken. Other meetings may require a consensus of members— everyone has to agree.
?? Most meetings have an agenda. For a formal meeting, this document may be circulated in advance to all participants. For an informal meeting, the agenda may be simply a list of points that have to be dealt with. The purpose of an agenda is to speed up the meeting and keep everyone to the point. The agenda for a formal meeting must be organized in logical order. Often the agenda shows not only the topics but also the meeting's function regarding each topic. All items on which a decision is to be taken should appear on the agenda.
?? One-to-one small informal meetings also tend to be structured and planned. They are different from chance conversations in a corridor or over coffee. Small informal meetings may also take place or continue during a meal.
Part B :Listening Comprehension http://tr.hjenglish.com
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 ANWER BOOKLET.
Questions 1~5 are based on the following conversation.
Arthur:? Mary, you know I've been thinking about applying for a job in Germany. Well. I've got the details about different jobs and I'd like your opinion about which would be the best one to go for.
Mary:??? Where are thejobs? http://tr.hjenglish.com
Arthur:? One's Munich, one's in Frankfurt and the other one's in Hamburg.
Mary:??? Munich's supposed to be a very nice place.
Arthur:? Yes it is, and it's also in a beautiful part of Germany, not far from the Alps.
Mary:??? That would be great for the kids—they'd love to be able to go skiing at weekends!
Arthur:? But, one problem with Munich is that it's growing very fast. That means the cost of living will probably be very high.
Mary:??? How does the salary of thejob in Munich compare with the other jobs?
Arthur:? It's a higher salary than the job in Frankfurt but lower than the one in Hamburg. The Hamburg job has the most responsibility. From the point of view of career progression that would probably be the best job for me.
Mary:??? Hamburg's the closest to Britain, too, so it would be easy to come back for long weekends and holidays.
Arthur:? That's right, and there s regular ferry service which would save quite a bit on fares.
Mary:??? What about the cost of living in Germany as a whole? How does it compare with Britain?
Arthur:? Well, it's definitely higher than over here, but salaries are substantially higher, so we'd certainly be better off than we are now.
Mary:??? And what about accommodation?
Arthur:? well, actually, flats are much cheaper to rent in towns like Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg than they are here in London, so we'd be able to afford to live in a nice, spacious flat, I'd think.
Mary:??? Mmm, that'd be nice! And do you know what the cultural facilities are like in these cities?
Arthur:? In fact, they re quite good in all three. But, of course, Munich has an international reputation as a cultural center.
Mary:??? Another thing we'll have to consider, of course, are the educational possibilities. How long would you want to go to Germany for?
Arthur:? I think a maximum of five years. I think working overseas will be good for my career and, of course, it'd be a good experience for you and the kids, too!
Mary:??? So we'd be there long enough to enable John to complete a university course.
Arthur:? Well, yes we would, unless of course he preferred to go to a university in the UK. But, yes, if he did want to go to university in Germany, there's be no problem as each of those cities have? their own? universities. Munich, in fact, has the second largest university in Germany.
Mary:??? Well, It seems to me the choice must be between Hamburg and Munich. Hamburg has the advantage of being the closest to Britain, so coming home would be relatively easy and inexpensive. Munich, on the other hand, sounds like the most interesting place from a cultural point of view.
Arthur:? I agree with you. Personally, I favour Munich because it's so near to the Alps. We all like skiing and we could go skiing at weekends in the winter.
Mary:??? I think you're right. I had thought Hamburg might be preferable because it's the closest to Britain. But we'll only be abroad for five years, and if we're going to be away, let's choose the most attractive place we can.
Arthur:? Right. That's agreed. Now all I have to do is get thejob!
Question No.1.? What are the man and the woman mainly talking about?
Question No.2.? Which of the following cities is NOT mentioned in the conversation?
Question No.3.? How does the salary of the Munich job compare with the other jobs?
Question No.4.? How long does the man intend to stay in germany?
Question No.5.? Which of the following statements is true, according to the conversation?
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following news. http://tr.hjenglish.com
?? (Newscaster): Eight o'clock. Here is the news read by Andrew Viney. Good evening. First the international news headlines:
?? Fighting has continued all day in Timor and there have been heavy casualties.
?? In the Untied States the President has said the Star Wars Project will not go ahead it there is a new arms agreement with Russia.
?? In Brussels the Common Market countries have agreed after ten months of discussion on a new agricultural policy. And now for the national news:
?? The rail strike continues. Negotiations between the rail workers union and the railway management broke down today once again with the management offering an eight per cent pay rise and the union still insisting on the full twelve per cent they initially demanded. Negotiations will, however, resume tomorrow.
?? The latest inflation and unemployment figures were issued today; the current inflation rate is seven and a half per cent—that's one per cent up on last month. This rate is still lower than most of our Common Market partners, but higher than the United States. Unemployment figures have also risen—fourteen percent compared with thirteen per cent last month. This rise is due particularly to the high numbers of school leavers coming on to thejob market at present.
?? The Prime Minister today visited Felixstowe where he opened a new car factory. After wishing the factory every success he said the factory's new production patterns, which are based on robots, should provide a model to all new industry.
?? The long and unusual spell of hot weather is beginning to cause water supply problems. In parts of Yorkshire and Lancashire, water was cut for six hours today. Local water authorities, bombarded by protests and complaints, have said that they have taken emergency measures, which will ensure supply to hospitals and fire stations, and public pumps have been set up in all the towns in the affected areas.
?? And, so to tomorrow's weather—not too good, I'm afraid—it will be cloudy and humid in all parts of the country except the south-west where there'll be sunny periods.
?? And that's the end of the news. http://tr.hjenglish.com

Question No.9.??? What did the Prime Minister do when he visited Felixstowe?
Question No.10.?? What is beginning to cause the water supply problems in parts of the country?
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following interview.
Man:??? How did you become a hypnotist?
Woman:? Well um I'd been an er—I'd been teaching exercises for a long time; in fact when I was at college I was going to be an infant teacher and I wanted, you know, eventually to be a child psychologist. But once I started I didn't find it actually terribly enjoyable so I just left and I went into the exercise profession almost by mistake. And I'd been doing that for about four years and it was very nice, but mentally it wasn't stimulating enough and I wanted to do something else…
Man:??? D'you mean by the exercise professioner aerobics and weight training?
Woman:? Yeah I was teaching all kinds of things… yoga, aerobics, but I'd gone to America by then but I wanted to do something else because mentally it just wasn't stimulating enough. And I was very aware especially in America that, like, one in every eight girls has a really serious eating problem like bulimia, anorexia which does kill a lot of people and it, it does make people actually go mentally deficient too in the end because it's so damaging. And I was very aware of how serious a problem it was but I wasn t going to do anything about it; and in fact I had a… what I guess… it was a minor eating problem and, but finally I went to see a hypnotist just almost by mistake actually; and I wasn't particularly impressed with what he did but I was surprised to find that it was working and… and so I was practicing it on myself and I went back to see him about two weeks later and I said, you know, I've been doing this myself and he said,? Well show me what you ve been doing. So I did, and he said that, you know, I was very good at it and I should utilize it and I really didn t need to come back to him. And also I'd always been late… I'd been late all my life… I just could not stop being late; and so I worked on that and that stopped, it just stopped overnight. It was almost uncanny. So then I was so interested that I went off on a self-hypnosis course, really just to learn how to do it for myself. And while I was on this course I just thought you know? I'm going to do this a career because I suddenly realized that I could work with all these people in my classes that were anorexic, bulimic or had very very low self images and I could still teach.
Question No.11.??? How did the woman being interviewed become a hypnotist?
Question No.12.??? What did the woman want to become eventually when she was at college?
Question No.13.??? Why did the woman give up the exercise profession?
Question No.14.??? Why did the woman go to see the hypnotist at first? http://tr.hjenglish.com
Question No.15.??? According to the woman, which type of people attended the self-hypnosis course?
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following talk.
?? (Man) Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for attending this investment analysts meeting. As you may have heard, we are planning a big expansion of our company. To give all the analysts present the background to our present strong position, I would like to outline the company's performance over the past years.
?? If you will look at this graph of our gross turnover, you will see that at the end of our first year, that is 1992, we had a gross turnover of 3 million dollars. This figure was better than our expectations and shows that our home security system did find a gap in the market. This was confirmed by the doubling of our gross turnover in 1993. We also think this rapid rise in sales was helped by our extensive advertising campaign.
?? As the graph indicates, 1993 showed a slight decline in gross turnover of 500,000 dollars. This was due to the fact that by this time competitors, seeing our success, had produced rivals to our model. This led to some loss of sales.
?? To meet this increased competition in 1994, we introduced an incentive scheme for our dealers plus very favourable credit terms for customers. As a result we stopped any further reduction in sales and, in fact, we managed to increase turnover to 5, 600, 000 dollars.
?? The year 1995 saw the introduction of our updated product with a number of new features. This led to a steady rise in sales throughout the year. The gross turnover figure at the end of 1995 is slightly different from that of the previous years. For it included two figures: one, the total of sales of the new model. This amounted to 5.5 million dollars. The second part of the total for 1995 represents purchase of the new features alone, for we had designed these so they could be added to the old model of our security system. This figure is about 1,100,000 dollars. Together, therefore, these two sums represent a total turnover of 6,600,000 dollars. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the situation as it stands today. However, I can add that sales figures for the first part of this year are very encouraging and we have high hopes for the second part of this year.
Question No.16.?? To whom is the man addressing?
Question No.17.?? What is the main topic of the speech?
Question No.18.?? What products or service does the company sell?
Question No.19.?? What caused the slight decline in gross turnover for the year 1993?
Question No.20.?? What is the gross turnover for the year 1995?
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, let's begin Part A with Note-taking and Gap-filling.
?? Today I'd like to talk about love between child and parent.
?? For most children before the age from eight and a half to ten, the problem is almost exclusively that of being loved—of being loved for what one is. The child up to this age does not yet love; he responds gratefully and joyfully to being loved. At this point of the child's development a new factor enters into the picture: that of producing love by one's own activity. For the first time, the child thinks of giving something to mother or to father. For the first time in the child's life the idea of love is changed from being loved into loving, into creating love. It takes many years from this first beginning go the maturing of love. Eventually the child may now be an adolescent and has overcome his egocentricity; the other person is not any more primarily a means to the satisfaction of his own needs. The needs of the other person are as important as his own—in fact, they have become more important. To give has become more satisfactory and more joyous than to receive; to love has become more important even than being loved.
?? Closely related to the development of the capacity of love is the development of the object of love. The first months and years of the child are those where his closest attachment is to the mother. This attachment begins before the moment of birth, when mother and child are still one, although they are two. Although the child is now living outside of the womb, he is still completely dependent on mother. But he becomes more independent day by day: he learns to walk, to talk and to explore the world on his own; the relationship to mother loses some of its vital significance, and instead the relationship to father becomes more and more important.
?? In order to understand this shift from mother to father, we must consider the essential differences in quality between motherly and fatherly love. We have already spoken about motherly love. Motherly love by its very nature is unconditional. Mother loves the newborn infant because it is her child, not because the child has fulfilled any specific condition, or lived up to any specific expectation.
?? The relationship to father is quite different. Mother is the home we come from. She is nature, soil, the ocean; father does not represent any such natural home, he has little connection with the child in the first years of its life, and his importance for the child in this period cannot be compared with that of mother. But while father does not represent the natural world, he represents the other pole of human existence. He represents the world of thought, of law and order, of discipline, and of travel and adventure. Father is the one who teaches the child, who shows him the road into the world.
?? Closely related to this function is one which is connected with socio-economic development. When private property came into existence, and when private property could be inherited by one of the sons, father began to look for that son to whom he could leave his property. Naturally, that was the one whom father thought best fitted to become his successor, the son who was most like him, and consequently whom he liked the most. Fatherly love is conditional love. Its principle is “I love you because you fulfil my expectations, because you do your duty, because you are like me.”In conditional fatherly love we find a negative and a positive aspect. The negative aspect is the very fact that fatherly love has to be deserved, that it can be lost if one does not do what is expected. In the nature of fatherly love lies the fact that obedience becomes the main virtue, that disobedience is the main sin—and its punishment is the withdrawal of fatherly love
