听力原文： Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behavior. in society, and was reading English literature.

At school he seemed only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief and incomplete. Unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital ot Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with som other early American presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had nothing to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.

A Completely Different Product And A New Way Of Doing Business When James Dyson introduce

A Completely Different Product And A New Way Of Doing Business

When James Dyson introduced the DC01 vacuum cleaner in 1993, few people could have guessed that within a few years it would be the biggest selling vacuum cleaner in Britain. With no bag and a number of space age design features, it was unlike any other vacuum cleaner.

Today, the Dyson company employs 1, 050 people at its headquarters in Malmesbury. The company has an annual turnover of &150 million and Dyson vacuum cleaners are sold all around the world. In addition, the company has won many design awards and, most surprising of all, Dyson cleaners are on display in several of the world's leading museums of modem art.

Dyson is not a typical company. For example, everyone who starts work at Dyson makes a vacuum cleaner on their first day. This way, all the staff know what the company produces and how they pro duce it.

Designers and engineers work together to design and test theft ideas, unlike other companies where they are separate departments. Dyson also believes in direct communication--no one sends memos in the office, they go and speak to each other. And no one wears suits. James Dyson doesn't insist on this, but he does believe that wearing a suit stops people from thinking creatively. Judging from the success of Dyson. fewer companies will wear suits in future !

Dyson vacuum cleaners are not like other cleaners.

A．right

B．wrong

C．Doesn't say

听力原文：Good morning. Let me go ahead with our presentation on the company's sales record

听力原文： Good morning. Let me go ahead with our presentation on the company's sales records for the past year. As you see here from this chart, last year's sales figures have been fairly high, except for August, September, and October. This indicates that there is a great need for us to come up with a new fall product line that satisfies consumers to offset the loss we encountered last year. Our view is that, unlike other seasons, fall lacks any unique characteristics in terms of our clothing line.

We are currently receiving ideas from every department on new items for this fall, but regrettably, none of them have proved to be satisfactory. However, we still recommend that people contribute any views to us, and anyone whose idea is chosen will be rewarded with a bonus. We sense that other companies are experiencing the same kind of problem we have, and I personally think we have to take advantage of this opportunity to dominate the market.

How will the company overcome the decline in sales？

A．Develop new items to sell.

B．Advertise the items more aggressively.

C．Downsize the company.

D．Use ideas from consumers.

听力原文：With only one or two exceptions, Summerhill is quite unlike any other school in E

ngland. Being a small private boarding school founded over 70 years ago by A.S. Neil, it continues to this day to follow his belief that children should be given as much freedom as possible. This means, for one thing, that lessons are optional. Children can choose which subjects they go to or can decide to stay away from lessons altogether if they wish. Many children who transfer to Summerhill from more conventional schools where lessons are compulsory can often hardly believe their luck and stay away from lessons for many weeks after their arrival. But eventually they settle in and start attending classes quite voluntarily. The school can take this casual approach to children missing lessons partly because of its belief that much of the work done by pupils in ordinary schools is simply a waste of time and partly because willing pupils learn much more quickly. Good digestion waits on appetite.

Summerhill is remarkable in other ways too. There is a weekly meeting of all the pupils and staff which makes school rules and policy. Everyone has the same fights and teachers can be outvoted by pupils. The meeting appoints a tribunal which deals with those caught stealing or breaking school roles.

Question : What is the passage mainly about？

(33)

A．An unusual school.

B．A strange educational approach.

C．An unusual person.

D．Why a specific school was established.

听力原文：In the summer, most people tend to lose weight only to see it return in the winte

听力原文： In the summer, most people tend to lose weight only to see it return in the winter. This temporary weight loss affects the metabolism for most people in a negative way since it has been clinically proven that a steady, level metabolism rate is preferred to one that fluctuates up and down over different seasons of the year. Therefore, in order to maintain this steady weight loss, a new product has surfaced on the market in the form. of a regulating wristwatch. Now you may think to yourself, there are plenty of weight watching wristwatches available in the market today. What makes this product different from any other？ Unlike most conventional weight regulation wristwatches, this watch tells you when you are burning the most calories in your day and what chemicals your body is most deficient in. Also, this new product does not only regulate weight loss but also helps regulate the optimal mechanisms to replenish the necessary minerals and vitamins necessary to sustaining a healthy balanced diet.

Who is most likely talking？

A．A salesperson.

B．A fitness instructor.

C．An overweight person.

D．A physician.

第10题

Lichens may grow on the bark of a tree in a steaming tropical rain forest, on the bricks o

f big city buildings, on rocks in hot springs, on wind-swept mountaintops, and in the driest desserts. In the arctic, they provide the principal food for caribou, and they are one of the few plants that grow in Antarctica. They are pioneers, appearing in barren rocky areas and starting the formation of soil in which mosses, then ferns, and then other plants can take root.

Lichens are a partnership of two plants — fungi and algae. The lichen body is made up of a network of fungal strands. In the upper layers of these grow groups of algae. The two organisms live together to the benefit of both, a relationship known as symbiosis. The fungi provide support, absorb water, and shelter the tender algae from direct sunlight. The algae carry on photosynthesis and provide the fungi with food. The algae can live independently and are recognizable as a species that grows alone. The fungi, on the other hand, cannot live apart from their partners. They can be placed in known classes of fungi but are unlike any species that lives independently.

So definite are the form, color, and characteristics of these double organisms that for hundreds of years, they were classified as one. More than 15,000 "species" were named. If these organisms are classified as separate species, it is difficult to fit them into the existing system of classification. But if they are classified separately, these species of fungi seem rather strange. Lichens are a splendid example of the difficulties faced by taxonomists in classifying species.

Lichens may NOT grow ______ .

A．in the tropical woods

B．on the ceilings of city buildings

C．on rocks in hot springs

D．in dry desserts
