Part Ⅰ Writing （参考范文）
Online Shopping
 Nowadays, with the rapid development of information technology, online shopping has gained great popularity among more and more web users. For example, it is fashionable for youngsters to purchase daily essentials, such as books, clothes, electrical equipment, on some famous websites, like Taobao, EBay and Alibaba.
 Undoubtedly speaking, online shopping has many advantages. Firstly, compared with traditional shopping, it’s very convenient. What you need to do is just clicking your mouse and waiting instead of going out on foot or driving. Secondly, more choices than shopping in real stores are another attraction to customers. However, in spite of convenience and more choices of online shopping, we cannot turn a blind eye to its disadvantages. Obviously, quality problem is its first disadvantage. It’s common that articles aren’t so good as they are described online and customers always buy fake commodities. In addition, it’s troublesome and annoying for many customers to make a change when they are not satisfied with what they bought online.
 As a college student, I like online shopping, but I expect that effective measures should be taken to make it better. Specifically speaking, the government should work out strict regulations and rules to prevent unfaithful and unlawful activities of online shop owners. Only by this way can online shopping become really safe and attract an increasing number of customers.

 Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension 
 Section A
 11. M: Shawn has been trying for months to find a job, but I wonder how he could get a job when he looks like that.
 W: Oh, poor guy, he really should shave himself every other day at least, and put on something clean.
 Q: What do we learn about Shawn?
 12. W: I wish Jane would call when she know she’ll be late. This is not the first time we’ve had to wait for her.
 M: I agree, but she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.
 Q: What does the man imply?
 13. M: Congratulations. I heard your baseball team is going to the Mid-Atlantic Championships.
 W: Yeah. We are all working real hard right now.
 Q: What is the woman’s team doing?
 14. W: John has been looking after his mother in the hospital. She was injured in a car accident two weeks ago and is still in critical condition.
 M: Oh, that’s terrible. And you know, his father passed away last year.
 Q: What do we learn about John?
15. M: What a boring speaker! I can hardly stay awake.
 W: Well, I don’t know. In fact, I think it’s been a long time since I’ve heard anyone is good.
 Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
 16. W: I’m having a lot of trouble with logic and it seems my professor can’t explain it in a way that makes sense to me.
 Q: What does the man mean?
17. M: This is a stylish overcoat. I saw you wearing it last week, didn’t I?
 W: Oh, that wasn’t me. That was my sister Jill. She’s in your class.
 Q: What does the woman mean?
 W: Well, I guess I’d sell my watch or computer or do some odd jobs till I could afford a return plane ticket.
 Q: What are the speakers talking about?
Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: Hello, Professor Johnson.
W: What sport did you choose?
M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.
W: What are you going to say about skiing?
W: So why is that a problem?
 M: I’d like to start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn’t as simple as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that’s not the heart of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don’t know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It’s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That’s different.
M: Yeah, I guess so.

19. What is the topic of the man’s writing assignment?
20. What problem does the man have while working on his paper?
21. What does the woman say is common in writing papers?

 M: Well, I started off with a small diner, I did all the cooking myself and my wife waited on tables, it was really too much work for two people, my cooking is great and word got around downtown about the food. Within a year, I had to hire another cook and four waitresses. When that restaurant became very busy, I decided to expand my business. Now with three places, my main concern is keeping the business successful and running smoothly.
W: Do you advertise?
 M: Oh, yes. I don’t have any TV commercials because they are too expensive, but I have advertised a lot on radio and in local newspapers. My children used to distribute ads in nearby shopping centers, but we don’t need to do that any more.
W: Why do you believe you’ve been very successful?
 M: I always served fresh possible food, and I make the atmosphere as comfortable and as pleasant as I can so that my customers will want to come back again.
W: So you will always aim to please the customers.

Section C

 Contrary to the old warning that time waits for no one, time slows down when you are on the move. It also slows down more as you move faster, which means astronauts some day may survive so long in space that they would return to an Earth of the distant future. If you could move at the speed of light, your time would stand still. If you could move faster than light, your time would move backward.
 Although no form of matter yet discovered moves as fast as or faster than light, scientific experiments have already confirmed that the accelerated motion causes a traveler’s time to be stretched. Albert Einstein predicted this in 1905, when he introduced the concept of relative time as part of his Special Theory of Relativity. A search is now under-way to confirm the suspected existence of particles of matter that move at the speed greater than light, and therefore might serve as a passport to the past.
 An obsession with time — saving, gaining, wasting, losing and mastering it — seems to have been a part of humanity for as long as humans have existed. Humanity also has been obsessed with trying to capture the meaning of time. Einstein used a definition of time for experimental purposes, as that which is measured by a clock. Thus, time and time’s relativity are measurable by any hourglass, alarm clock or an atomic clock that can measure a billionth of a second.
