This section is designed to test your ability to understand spoken English. You will hear a selection of recorded materials and you must answer the questions that accompany them. There are TWO parts in this section, Part A and Part B.
Remember, while you are doing the test, you should first put down your answers in your test booklet. At the end of the listening comprehension section, you will have 3 minutes to transfer your answers from your test booklet onto ANSWER SHEET 1.
If you have any questions, you may raise your hand NOW as you will not be allowed to speak once the test has started.
Now look at Part A in your test booklet.
Part A
You will hear 10 short dialogues. For each dialogue, there is one question and four possible answers. Choose the correct answer—A, B, C or D, and mark it in your test booklet. You will have 15 seconds to answer the question and you will hear each dialogue ONLY ONCE. Now look at question 1.
Question 1:
W: Air China has a flight on August 27th. Will that be OK, sir？
M: No, I'm afraid not. My sister is getting married on the 26th.
W: How about Air China Flight 985 on the 25th？
M: Oh, that's good.
Question 2:
W: What would you like for dessert？
M: I think I'll have an ice cream. I suggest you try some chocolate cake.

Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some sensible methods of assessment (评估) to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to reverse the process. First one looks at a commercially available test. Then one distills (去除) the skills needed not to master reading, say, or math, but to do well on the test. Finally, the test skills arc taught.
The ability to read or write or calculate might imply the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparation for a test with the acquisition of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skills make this fundamental confusion because people are test obsessed (着迷的) rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught.
Recently many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple terms, the phenomenon of students with phonic and grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are competent at test taking and filling in workbooks and ditto (复制品) masters. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but can't see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grade that they have no time or ease of mind to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary.

听力原文：M Carol, hello - I gather you wanted to speak to me.
F Oh yes, George, thanks for calling, It's about the recruitment we need to do.
M OK
F There'll be a lot more to do with the new contract, meaning export sales are going to rise, but we've got to make sure we attract the right kind of people. So when you draw up the copy for the advertisement, will you put in something about their needing to be strong in communication skills rather than just languages, which don't necessarily guarantee what we want？
M Sure.
F And I think we'll need to make the interviews effective. We ought to test them in some way, and getting them to give a presentation nothing very complicated - will achieve that, I think. Now, once they've been selected, it'll be down to the quality of the training they get. Rather than overloading Personnel, I've asked the Sales Director to put together a programme.
M That makes sense. I'll get started on the ad.

How to approach Reading Test Part Six
&8226;This part of the Reading Test tests your ability to identify additional or unnecessary words in a text.
&8226;Most lines contain one extra word that makes the sentence incorrect.
&8226;Read the whole text quickly to find out what it is about. As you read, try to identify the words that are incorrect.
&8226;Then read the text again, and write down the extra words. Remember there will be only one extra word in a line, and some lines are correct.
？ Read the advertisement below about a company which lets offices.
？ In most lines there is one unnecessary word. It is either grammatically incorrect or does not fit in with the sense of the text. Some lines are correct.
？ For each numbered line 41 - 52, find the unnecessary word and then write the word in CAPITAL LETTERS on your Answer Sheet. If a line is correct write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet.
Prestigious but inexpensive offices
In some towns business premises are at a premium, with scarce office space rapidly being used up. So what do you do best if you need a base for a start-up company but
41. either cannot find a suitable location or cannot afford the overheads？ One solution for
42. which ever more new businesses are opting is to use the services of an office provider,
43. a company applied with business premises, generally in prestigious locations. Its
44. subscribers can both save money by working from home, while impressing their own
45. customers by using the premises such as their business address, Offices can also be
46. hired for as short a time as an hour, or for any other period, making it possible for
47. subscribers to hold meetings in rather more professional-looking surroundings than
48. their own home. In addition, office providers offer secretarial and the reception
49. facilities, thus are making these services available without the normal delays and costs
50. arising from having to recruit and employ staff. The flexibility of monitoring the
51. system means that your changing requirements can be accommodated without some
52. difficulty, allowing you to concentrate yourself on growing your business. Just choose the services you require.

DNA Fingerprinting
？？ DNA isthe genetic material found within the cell nuclei of all living things. Inmammals the strands of DNA are grouped into structures called chromosomes. Withthe exception of identical sib- lings (as in identical twins) , the completeDNA of each individual is unique.
