M: (1-1) I beg you're looking forward to the end of this month， Aren't you?
W: Yes, I am. How did you know?
M: David told me you had a special birthday coming up.
W: (1-2) Oh, yes. That's right. This year would be my golden birthday.

Come to think of it, my parents did throw her a surprise party that year.

M: He might have.
W: Anything you'd like to share? (3) I'm dying to know what kind of trip he has planned where we're going.
M: Yeah, nothing at all.
W: Not a clue. Hard to imagine, isn't it! Though I must say, I think it has been even more fun keeping the secret for me the past few weeks.
M: I'm sure both of you will have a fantastic time. Happy golden birthday! (4) I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

Part 4 (Conversation):
W: Mr. Green, What do you think makes a successful negotiator?
M: Well, It does hard to de^ne, but I think successful negotiators have several things in common. They are always polite and rational people, they are ^rm, but flexible. They can recognize power and know how to use it. (1)They are sensitive to the dynamics in the negotiation, the way it raises and falls, and how may change the direction. They project the image of confidence. (2)And perhaps most importantly, they know when to stop.
W: And what about an unsuccessful negotiator?
M: Well, this probably all of us when we start out. We are probably immature and over-trusting, too emotional or aggressive. We are unsure of ourselves and want to be liked by everyone. (3)Good negotiators learn fast, pool negotiators remain like that and go on losing negotiations.
W: In your opinion, can the skills of negotiation be taught?
M: Well, you can teach someone how to prepare for negotiation. (4)There're perhaps six stages in every negotiation: get to know the other side; stay your goals; start the process; clarify there is a disagreement or conflict; reassess your position, making acceptable compromises; and finally reach some agreement in principals. These stages can be studied, and strategies to be used in each can be planned before-hand. But I think the really successful negotiator is probably born with the sixth sense that may respond properly to the situation at hand.
W: The artistic sense you just described?
M: Yes, that's right
未听先知：预览四道题各选项，由 rival、compromises> negotiation> principles> the other sides 和 strategy 等词可以 推测，对话内容与谈判有关，可能涉及谈判的原则和策略、技巧等。

Part 5 (Recording One):
You dream about being a movie star. You’ll live in a big house in Hollywood, go to the Oscars every year—and win! You’ll be rich and famous. Wait a minute, you also hate having your photos taken, and you’re very shy, so how could you ever become a movie star?
Choosing the right career can be hard. (1)Many people graduate from school or college not knowing what to do with their lives, and get a job without really thinking about it. For some, things work out fine, but others often find themselves stuck in a job they hate. Your working life lasts in average of forty years, so it’s important to find a job you like and feel enthusiastic about. Luckily, there are many ways you can get help to do this.
The Australian website, www. careers online. com, compares choosing a career with going to the movies. Before you see a movie, you find out what films are showing. (2)The site suggests you should do the same with your career—find out what jobs are available and what your options are. Next, decide which movie you like best. If you’re not a romantic person,
you won’t want to see a love story. In other words, with your career, you should decide which job will suit your personality. Finally, decide how to get movie tickets, and find out where the theater is before you go. With your career, you need to find information about where you can work, and how to get a job in that profession.
(3)So how do you start? Begin by asking yourself some questions, Some jobs require you to have certain life experiences: Have you travelled overseas? Do you have any extra certificates besides your degree, such as a first aid license for example? Your physical state and build can also affect which jobs you can do. A person, for example, who is allergic to cats, would probably never become an animal doctor. Flight attendants, firefighters and police officers have to be over a certain height, and be physically fit. Your personality matters, too. Are you outgoing or shy? If you like working alone, a job that requires lots of teamwork might not suit you.
Choosing a career can take time and a lot of thought. However, when you know you can look forward to working in your dream job, you’ll will be glad you thought it through.

Part 6 (Recording Two ):
(1)Kwanzaa is a cultural festival during which African-Americans celebrate and reflect upon their rich heritage as the products of the two worlds. It begins December 26th and lasts for seven days.
(2)Kwanzaa was founded in 1966 by Dr. Karenga, a college professor and African-American leader, who believed that a special holiday could help African-Americans meet their goals of building strong families, learning about their history and creating a sense of unity.
After conducting extensive research in which he studied the festivals of many African groups of people, he decided that the new holiday should be a harvest or “first fruits” celebration, incooperating ideas from many different harvest traditions. (3)Kwanzaa is a Kiswahili word meaning “the first fruits of the harvest.”
The East African language of Kiswahili was chosen as an official language of Kwanzaa because it is a non-tribal language spoken by a large portion of the African population. Also, its pronunciation is easy. Kwanzaa is based on seven principles which are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith. One principal is highlighted each day of the holiday.
In preparation for the celebration, a straw mat is placed on the table, along with a candle holder with seven candles, one black, three red, and three green. The black candle represents the African-American people, the red is for their struggles, and the green represents their hopes for the future.
Other items placed on the table are a variety of fruit, ears of comes, gifts and a communal unity cup for pouring and sharing drinks.
Each day of Kwanzaa, usually before the evening meal，family and friends gather around the table and someone lights
the candle, beginning with the black. After that，candles are lit alternatively from left to right. (4)While the candles is being lit, a principal is recited; then each person present takes a turn to speak about the importance that the principle has to himself or herself.
Next, the ceremony focuses on remembering those who have died. A selected person pours water or juice from the unity cup into a bowl. That person then drinks from the cup and raises it high saying “Harambee”which means “Let’s all pull together.” All repeat “Harambee”seven times and each person drinks from the cup . Then names of African-American leaders and heroes are called out, and everyone reflects upon the great things these people did. The ceremony is followed by a meal, and then singing and perhaps listening to African music.

Part 7 (Recording Three)
The Mediterranean diet is based upon the eating patterns of traditional cultures in the Mediterranean region.
（1）Several noted nutritionists and research projects have concluded that this diet is one of the most healthful in the world in terms of preventing such illnesses as heart disease and cancer, and increasing life expectancy.
The countries that have inspired the Mediterranean diet all surround the Mediterranean Sea. These cultures have eating habits that developed over thousands of years. In Europe, parts of Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain, and southern France adhere to principles of the Mediterranean diet, as do Morocco and Tunisia in North Africa. Parts of the Balkan region and Turkey follow the diet, as well as Middle Eastern countries like Lebanon and Syria. The Mediterranean region is warm and sunny, and produces large supplies of fresh fruits and vegetables almost year round that people eat many times a day. Wine, bread, olive oil and nuts are other staples of the region, and the Mediterranean Sea has historically yielded abundant quantities of fish.
International interest in the therapeutic qualities of the Mediterranean diet began back in the late 1950s, when medical researchers started to link the occurrence of heart disease with diet. Dr. Ancel Keys performed an epidemiological analysis of diets around the world. (2)Entitled the Seven Countries Study, it is considered one of the greatest studies of its kind ever performed. In it, Keys gathered data on heart disease and its potential causes from nearly 13,000 men in Greece, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Japan, Finland, the Netherlands, and the United States. The study was conducted over a period of decades. It concluded that the Mediterranean people in the study enjoyed some significant health advantages. (3)The Mediterranean
groups had lower mortality rates in all age brackets and from all causes, particularly from heart disease. The study also showed that the Mediterranean diet is as high or higher in fat than other diets, obtaining up to 40% of all its calories from fat. It has, however, different patterns of fat intake. Mediterranean cooking uses smaller amounts of saturated fat and higher amounts of unsaturated fat, mostly in the form of olive oil. Saturated fats are fats that are found principally in meat and dairy products, although some nuts and vegetable oils also contain them. Saturated fats are used by the body to make cholesterol, and high levels of cholesterol have since been directly related to heart disease.

Questions:
1. What has research concluded about the Mediterranean diet?
答案：A
详解：讲座开篇提到，地中海式饮食是地中海地区基于传统文化的饮食习惯。一些著名的营养学家和一些研究项目均得出结论：地中海式饮食从预防心脏病、癌症以及延长寿命的角度来讲是全世界最健康的饮食习惯之一。因此 答案为 A。
2. What do we learn about the Seven Countries Study?
答案：C
详解：讲座中提到，七国研究被认为是该类别中最伟大的研究之一。因此答案为 C。
3. What do we learn about the Mediterranean people from the Seven Countries Study?
答案：D
详解：讲座中说，根据七国研究，地中海地区各个年龄段人群中，因各种原因所导致的死亡率都比较低，特别是因心脏病死亡的几率。因此答案为 D。
Part 8 (Interview)
W: Good evening. I'm going to talk with Andrew Wright. He is an author and language teacher for may years. Nice to meet you here, Andrew. Fist of all, can you tell us when, where and why did you begin teaching English?
M:I have always been a worker for teachers rather than a language teacher. It's a bit like being a maker of violins for others to play. Of course, I can and have knocked out some tunes on the violin myself but basically I am a maker.
W: What is your involvement now in English language teaching?
M: [1]I run a language school with my wife. My school organizes London Chamber of Commerce Cert TEB courses for teachers of Business English with Mark Powell. I do some work with
teachers in various countries each year. I write articles for teachers' magazines.
W: How many books have you published? Which are you most proud of?
M: I have been writing non-stop for forty years, almost exactly. So I can't list all my books. I have been lucky to have been thrown forward by the wave of developments in language teaching for much of that time. [2]I am very proud of being the writer of the very first topic based text book ever written: Kaleidoscope, published by Macmillan in the 1960s. Now out of print. [3] I am also proud of the fact that my Games for Language Learning, is still going strong after 25 years. It was the first book on ELT to be based on the cook book recipe layout of the activities.
W: What in language teaching have most influenced you?
M:In the 1960s I was very influenced by the work of SCOPE, a course book for teaching English as a
second language. [4] It showed me that language learning can also be about learning other things of interest and value and not be necessarily based on trivial stories and drills. I was also influenced by books and materials published for teaching other subjects in the curriculum, for example, history, science and social studies.
W: Which three non-ELT books would you take to a desert island?
M: You should have said ”apart from Shakespeare! ", because Shakespeare would be my first book to
take. Perhaps one of Henry Mayhew's books on life in London in the mid-nineteenth century, for example, Mayhew's Characters. It is fascinating and it would make me feel that there are compensations in not having to struggle to exist in a big city... it may not be so bad to live on a desert island. And perhaps [5] I would take a book on survival that has all kinds of intriguing ideas for remaining alive and well in nature.
参考词汇
tune (n.)曲子
recipe (n.)食谱
layout (n.)布局
trivial(adj.)琐碎的
drill (n.) 操练
compensation(n.) 补偿
intriguing(adj.)引起好奇心的
1. What does Andrew Wright's work cover?
C [解析]主持人问Andrew参与了哪些英语教学工作，Andrew回答中谈到他和他的妻子经营着一家语言学校，因此C项的表述是正确的。
2. What can we learn about the book Kaleidoscope?
B [解析]当主持人问Andrew最自豪的出版物时，他提到了Kaleidoscope这本书。根据对话中的...of the very first topic based text book 可以判断，他参与编写了教科书Kaleidoscope的第一个话题。 可以得知，Kaleidoscope是一本教科书,选B项。
3. Which book has received a warm welcome for more than two decades?
B [解析]当被问及最自豪的是哪一本书时,Andrew谈到了Games for Language Learning,由文中信息still going strong after 25 years 可知，此书25年来一直很受读者喜爱。故答案为B。
4. Why does the work of SCOPE impose a great impact on Andrew?
C [解析]the work of SCOPE给Andrew所带来的影响是它展示了语言学习不一定基于琐碎的故事和训练(not be necessarily based on trivial stories and drills), 可以从兴趣和价值观入手学习,由关键词句can also be about learning other things of interest and value 便可得出答案是C。A项是the work of SCOPE的内容，不是其带来的影响;B、D项表述与原文不符。
5. What kind of book would Andrew Wright take to a desert island?
C [解析]访谈第一部分的最后主持人问，会带哪三本非英语教学用书到孤岛上? Andrew 首先提到会带Shakespeare此外还会带Henry Mayhew的书，最后带上求生方面的作品。可见C项正确。
