Relax! What can go wrong?M: At my first job interview? Plenty.Q: How does the man feel?3.M: Good morning, madam, what can I do for you?W: Well, someone at the hotel suggested I come here to buy a coat.Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?4.W: I gave Dave 300 dollars for his sponsored concert.M: 300 dollars?

And the point I want to make has to do with trust. I know it’s possible to force people to be 100% efficient. But I think when you do that, you lose confidence and trust. I let my employees use our equipment and make personal phone calls. They are more than welcome to decide what is right and wrong. Because I think you can’t run a company by just giving orders to robo ts and watching them like big brother, right? I think you have to trust people and give them a little freedom. And also, as far as phone calls and all that go, I want my people to call home and check on their children and know their children are safe and sound. As a result, I have devoted employees who are willing to go that extra mile and I can honestly say they show up to work smiling. So I get more satisfaction and rewards by trusting my employees than by suspecting them of doing something wrong.Questions:11. Which of the following does the speaker allow his employees to do?12. What result does the speaker expect to see under his management?13. What does the speaker consider important in running a small company?Passage 2Questions14-16 are based on the following passage：The roots of Canadian English can be found in the events which followed the American revolution of 1776. Those who had supported Britain found themselves unable to stay in the new United States, and most went to Canada. They were soon followed by many thousands who were attracted by the cheapness of land. Within 50 years, the population of upper Canada had reached 100 thousand, mainly people from the United States. In the east, the Atlantic provinces had been settled by English speakers as early as the 15th century, but even today, these areas contain less than ten per cent of the population, so that they have only a limited role in the development of Canadian English. In Quebec, the majority of people use French as a mother tone. Here English and French exist together but uneasily. Because of its origins, Canadian English has a great deal in common with the rest of the English spoken in North America, and is often difficult to distinguish for people who live outside the region. To British people, Canadians may sound American; to Americans, they may sound British. Canadians themselves insist on not being identified with either, and certainly, there is a great deal of evidence in support of this view.Questions:14. Why did many Americans leave for Canada after the revolution?15. What can we learn about people in the Atlantic provinces?16. What conclusion can be drawn about Canadian English from this passage?Section CDirections: in Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Blanks 17-20 are based on the following conversation:A: Good morning, Leeds University students registration center.B: Good morning, I need to register for a class.A: OK. May I take your name, please?B: Sure, it’s Andrew Smith.A: Which department do you study with?B: The history department.A: May I have your student ID?B: HD3309.A: What class are you trying to take?B: I want to take a photography class.A: Well, there’re only two classes open.B: Can you tell me what days the classes are on?A: One is on Tuesday, from 2 pm. to 4 pm.B: And the other?A: From 10:00 to 12:00 on Thursday.B: OK, sign me up for the class on Tuesday.A: Very well, then.Complete the form. Write one word for each answer.Blanks 21-24 are based on the following conversation:A: Welcome to our program, Anny. Please tell our audience the best things about the experiment in international living.B: Well, my group was great! And I love my host family.A: Can you tell us about your group?B: Well, we were all high school students from the US. But we were very different.A: You mean from different cities, with different religions and cultures?B: Yes, and I was existed about that. We learnt that we weren’t really so different.A: What do you mean?B: Well, we became such good friends. More than friends, we were like a family.A: Wonderful. I’d like to know more about your host family.B: Oh, I loved my host family in Costa Rica. They were my family, too. I felt like I was their daughter.A: So nice! Did you have any problems speaking with them?B: No, not really. Actually, I learnt a lot of Spanish from them. And I also learnt that language is not always so important.A: What do you mean?B: Well, in some cases, a simple smile can say more than words.A: Thanks so much, Anny.Complete the form. Write no more than 3 words for each answer.。

This morning we have someone from the Guinness Company that produced that famous book, Thomas Manning. “Welcome to the program, Thomas!” “Thanks, Sue. It’s a pleasure to be here.” “Perhaps you could start by telling us where the idea for the book came from.” “Well, it was first suggested in the early 1950s. Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director总经理of Guinness, was out shooting birds with some friends. A bird flew away so quickly that no one was able to shoot it. Sir Hugh wondered whether this bird was the fastest bird in Europe, and if it wasn’t the fastest, he wondered what was.” “So I suppose he went to the nearestlibrary to look for the information and he couldn’t find it?” “Yes, that’s exactly what happened. And thi s made Sir Hugh think there must be other people in the same situation who wanted this kind of information. He thought that, like himself, people would be interested in finding facts of all records to satisfy their curiosity.” “So the idea for a book of re cords was born. And when did the first book come out?”“A few years later, in 1955. So, to ask your first question: the tallest person in the world is 231.7cm tall. And the oldest person is Jeanne. L. Calment, who was born in February, 1875.” “There are al so some rather strange records, aren’t there, Thomas?” “Yes, that’s right. Did you know, Sue, that the shortest time it is taken …”17.A 18.A 19.C 20.A。

Why did the woman find the job appealing?24. What had the woman been doing in Geneva?25. What was the woman asked to do in the end?Section BPassage OneOne of the greatest heartbreaks for fire fighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead. Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked the fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster. To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays fire fighters’ equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. “If you see us,” Velez tells them, “don’t hide! We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you.” Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish. Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks. But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris. In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.26 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters?27 What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez?28 What do we learn about Pete Gentry?29 What message is the speaker trying to convey?Passage TwoSome people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early. I see people pursuing higher paying and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal. They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for income today. The problem is that tomorrow might not come. Even if it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working if you spend your entire life making money? More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with? At the other extreme are people who live only for today. Why bothersaving when I might not be here tomorrow, they argue. The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all. And most people don't want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living. The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older. You maybe surprise to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme I think it's better to pick the spend-all approach. As long as you don't mind continuing to work, assuming your health allows, you should be OK. At least, you are making use of your money, and hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it. Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake. It may never come. Retirement can be a great time for some people. For others, it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.30 Why do some people pursue higher paying but demanding careers?31 What is the danger facing people who live only for today?32 What does the speaker seem to advocate?Passage ThreeImagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well, it happens everyday to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves. Even though I’d never steal.Store employees looked at me like I’m some kind of hardened criminal. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story. “No more than two students at a time”. After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I ask ed him about the new sign, and he said, “You kids are stealing too much stuff.” You kids? Too much stuff? We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves. The most annoying thing though, is the way employees watched my friends and me. It’s horrible.Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy standing on a large box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, more than he was watching his own. I showed him that my hands were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that!33. What does the speaker find to be unfair?34. What measure did the Graben Gore Restaurant take to stop stealing?35. What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker?Section CWriting keeps us in touch with other people. We write to communicate with relatives and friends. We write to preserve our family histories so our children and grandchildren can learn and appreciate their heritage. With computers and Internet connections in so many households, colleges, and businesses, people are e-mailing friends and relatives all the time -- or talking to them in writing in online chat rooms. It is cheaper than calling long distance, and a lot more convenient than waiting until Sunday for the telephone rates to drop. Students are e-mailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them. They are e-mailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework. They are also sharing information about concerts and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there will always be a place and need for the personal letter. A hand-written note to a friend or a family member is the best way tocommunicate important thoughts. No matter what the content of the message, its real point is, "I want you to know that I care about you." This writing practice brings rewards that can’t be seen in bank accounts, but only in the success of human relationships.2011年12月四级听力选择题答案北京新东方学校国内部欧阳萍11.C)She enjoys staying in Washington。

This morning we have someone from the Guinness Company that produced that famous book, Thomas Manning. “Welcome to the program, Thomas!”“Thanks, Sue.

BBC国防记者Jonathan Marcus报道。

The aircrafts approached the factory from the east, the Sudanese information minister Ahmed Belal Osman told the reporters in Khartoum, blaming the attack on Israeli air force. Israeli officials have refused any comment. Israel is widely believed to be responsible for similarly mysteriously air attacks against two arms convoys in northeastern Sudan back in early 2009. The argument then boasted by leaked U.S. diplomatic cables was that these were secret weapon shipments from Iran destine for Hamas in the Gaza strip.这几家飞机从东而来，苏丹情报部长奥斯曼在喀土穆如是告诉记者，他谴责以色列空军实施了此次袭击。
