听力原文:W: So Tom, now that your final exams are over, what are you going to do?

Q: What does Tom tell the woman?

D.It is too early for him to make plans.
50% of your grade will be based on the mid-term examination and the final exam. Both of these exams will be given during class time and each will be 2 hours long. In a lecture class of this size, it is impractical and almost impossible to give make-up exams, so plan on being healthy and in class on those days; otherwise, your final grade average may suffer. The semester is 16 weeks long and quizzes will be given every 2 weeks to make sure you're keeping up with what's going on in class. Quizzes will count as 15% of your grade and daily homework will count another 15 %. Homework will be collected and graded by the teaching assistants in your laboratory sessions. So, 50% for exams, 15% for quizzes, and 15% for homework. The remaining 20% of your grade will be based on class participation. I'm obviously not in a position to judge this, but I will ask your teaching assistants to evaluate how actively you participate in their classes. Remember, the purpose of the laboratory sessions is to give you a chance to ask questions about the lecture and to discuss difficult points.

W: I still have 2 more final exams to take.
M: Really?
W: Yeah.
M: What are you doing this summer, anything special?
W: My parents have always liked taking my sister and me to different places in the United States. You know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. And so even though we are older now, they still do once in a while.
M: Oh, so where are you going this summer?
W: Well, this summer it's finally going to be Gettysburg.
M: Gettysburg ! It's probably the most famous civil war site in the country. It's only a couple of hours away. I have been there a couple of times.
W: We were gonna to go there about ten years ago, but we ended up not going anywhere that year. I cannot remember why.
M: What a pity!
W: Yeah, but I hope that doesn’ t happen again this year. I wrote a paper about Gettysburg last semester for a history class I was taking in which I got to know about the political situation in the United States right after the battle at Gettysburg, so I'm eager to see the place.

M: One of my cousins is getting married there; my family is invited.
W: Wow, that's big news. (22)What are you going to get for your cousin?
M: I've no idea, and that's what is troubling me these days. You know, Jasmine is hard to please.
W: No wonder you look worried. So, what about your study? You should know that the final exams are coming. Don't you worry about that?
M: Actually, I don't. (23) There are still four weeks to go, and I will have three weeks to review my lessons after I come back.
W: You are leaving for a whole week? That's a quite long time, especially in this period. I always get nervous while having exams, and I can't sleep well the nights before exams. I think I should go to the doctor's.
M: Well, we are quite different in that. I think it is just because you think of the exams too much and pay too much attention to the results. You should relax and take a little time off.
W: I wish I could. (24) You know, my parents have high expectations of me and they have done so much for me...
M: Oh, that all depends on how you think of it. Parents' love shouldn't be your burden. You tried your best, and that's what counts. Your parents will surely understand you. Take it easy. (25) Talk to your parents; it may help.
W: Thank you for your advice. I'll give it a try.

The school day runs from 8:45a. m. to 3: 15p.m. and is made up of five 78-minute periods. Students take four classes and have one period for lunch.
In February, 2000, the school introduced a new system of computerized attendance in order to provide accurate(准确的)records of student lates and absences and to enable communication with parents.
Student evaluation(评价) is a continual process based upon class performance, tests, home work and reports, as well as special projects or formal examinations held at the end of the semester. There will be at least three reports to parents during each semester. After five weeks of class, students carry Earlybird Report home. The semester one Parent/Teacher interview date appears on this report. Mid-term Report is at the ninth week. Marks are then calculated. Mid-term Reports are prepared and mailed in mid-November and late April. Students with marks under 60% after 11 weeks of class will receive an In-Danger Report to remind them that more effort is required as well as careful preparation for final exams. Those notices are mailed home. Final Reports are mailed home in February and July.
The Newsletter is an excellent way for the school to communicate with parents. In addition to providing a profile of our many activities, it contains key dates and information-upcoming events such as parent interviews or exams, changes being considered at the school. Messages from school, parents receive four newsletters each year.
Keep it on the refrigerator!
Each semester, the parents may get at least ______ from the school.
A.an Early-bird Report, a Mid-term Report and the Newsletters
B.an Early-bird Report, a Mid-term Report and the Final Report
C.a Mid-term Report, an In-Danger Report and the Final Report
D.a Mid-term Report, a Final Report and Newsletters
听力原文: While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers praised the cancellation of exams because they believe "tests don't tell the whole story."
As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a student's final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year's work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student's ability.
The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student's future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.
There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student's word for it? Any institution that "liberates" students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the "graduates" of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.
When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.
