听力原文: Nowadays there are more and more ways of going on holiday. More and more people go abroad every year. Some people even go on two or three holidays a year.
In my opinion, there are two types of holidaymakers. The first kind of holidaymakers always flocks to seaside resorts when they go on holiday. Their one and only aim is to have a good time by sunbathing and putting their feet up. They are not a hit interested in local specialties. At mealtimes, if they can get a plate of British "fish and chips", they're more than happy! They spend their days in the sunshine and their evenings getting drunk, then sleep soundly. If this sort of person forgets to pack the suntan oil, he or she will Undoubtedly come home as red as a lobster.
The other sort of holidaymakers goes to every country to increase their knowledge of foreign lands. They make use of the chance to travel to improve their world knowledge. For them, going on holiday is educational. Consequently, this sort of travelers will move from place to place every few days. If they visit lots of places in a short span of time, there is no way that they can get a proper feel of a place or fully appreciate the local food and wine.
Whichever type of holiday chosen, everybody has the same aim: to put their work to the back of their minds, have as much fun as possible and come home happy and relaxed.

听力原文:W: Hi, Larry, are you waiting to see Professor Jamison, too?
M: Yeah, since I've got one of the five highest grades in her managerial economics class, she asked me if I'd be interested in working as her assistant next semester. I'm here now for my interview.
W: Oh, yes. I know all about that job. I did it two years ago.
M: Really? Did you like it?
W: I think it was the best I've had at school. It paid eight dollars an hour, which was three dollars an hour more than I got working at the school post office the year before.
M: That is a good salary. What did you do?
W: I was in charge of grading all the problem sets that were assigned as homework. I never had trouble doing it, and of course, Prof. Jamison was always available to help me if I had any questions.
M: I think I'd enjoy doing that sort of work. It would be very good experience for anyone thinking about becoming a teacher.
W: Absolutely. You also learn how to use the computer data base, because the records are kept on it. And building up your computer skills is a good preparation for lots of jobs.
M: The job sounds great, but I'm a little worried about how much time it might take?
W: It's pretty reasonable. It never took me more than five hours a week to do all the grading and then another thirty to forty minutes to record the grades on the computer.
M: That sounds manageable. I guess you can do the work when it fits into your own schedule, too, can't you?
W: Oh, yeah, you can do the grading in your room or in the library. You just need to get each set back for the next class, but that means you always have at least two days and sometimes four.
M: It sounds great.
W: Good luck with your interview.

Passage 5
Once they decided to have children, MiShel and Carl Meissner tackled the next big issue: Should they try to have a girl? It was no small matter. MiShel’s brother had become blind from a hereditary (遗传的)condition in his early 20s, and the Meissners had learned that the condition is a _1_ passed from mothers to sons. If they had a boy, he would have a 50 per cent chance of having the condition. A girl would be _2_. The British couple&39;s _3_ about gender selection led them to Virginia, US where a new sperm (精子)-separation technique, called MicroSort, was under _4_ . When MiShel became pregnant, she gave birth to a daughter. They will try to have a second daughter using the technique later this year. This is not only a _5_ effective way to select a child’s gender. It also brings a host of ethical (伦理的)and practical considerations—especially for the majority of families who use the technique for _6_ reasons. The clinic offers sex selection for two purposes: to help couples _7_ passing on a gender-linked _8_ disease and to allow those who already have a child to “balance” their family by having a baby of the opposite sex. The technology is still _9_. However, Blauer says the company has an _10_ success rate: 91 per cent of the women who become pregnant after sorting for a girl are successful, while 76 per cent who sort for a boy and get pregnant are successful.
A) genetic
B) overlapped
C) impressive
D) unaffected
E) perpetually
F) investigation
G) inquiries
H) feats
I) disorder
J) gropes
K) experimental

Passage 3
We buy books, and then they wait for us to read them. Days, months, even years. Books are _1_. That’s OK for books, but not for new authors. If people don’t read their first books,they’ll never make it to a second. That’s why Eterna Cadencia, an independent publisher and book store, decided to create something different to _2_ their new authors into the market-“The Books That Can’t Wait”, which seeks to _3_ bonds between first-time writers and their readers by getting their books read quickly. What’s that? They developed the _4_ kind of ink, an ink that starts to disappear when it comes in contact with light and air. Then they printed a _5_ of works by the best new American Latin author, using this ink, to create a new kind of book—a book that lasts only two months once you open it This makes for an interesting approach to motivate book buyers to read books more __6__, giving first-time author’s the attention they need to survive. They _7_ “The Book That Can’t Wait” for the critics and the press. The invention was _8_. Hundreds of people came to the bookstore to pick up their book. They gave away the entire first edition the very same day it was released. _9_ they received thousands of requests for the book. This time they had the _10_ that their new authors were read. Then they are going to use the book as a platform. for other different titles, because there’re a lot of literatures out there that don’t deserve to wait on the shelf. And theirs won’t wait at all.
A) promptly
B) tolerant
C) turbulent
D) vanished
E) presented
F) launch
G) pledge
H)triumphant
I) opaque

Passage 3
International airlines have rediscovered the business travelers, the man or woman who regularly jets from country to country as part of the job. This does not necessarily mean that airlines ever _1_ their business travelers. Indeed, companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would rightly argue that they have always _2_ best for the executive class passengers. But many lines could be accused of concentrating too heavily in the recent past on attracting passengers by volume, often at the _3_ of regular travelers. Too often, they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality. Operating a major airline in the 1980s is essentially a matter of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their wide-bodied jets with low fare passengers,without forgetting that the front end should be filled with people who pay_4_ more for their tickets. It is no _5_ that the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the companies _6_ in cheap flights.but low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable(可行的), and in the recent recession the volume of traffic has not grown. EquaUy the large number of airlines jostling for (争夺)the _7_ passenger has created a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat _8_ driving down fares has been to push some airlines into _9_ and leave many others hovering on the brink. Against this grim background, it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly to the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have _10_ much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.
A)competition
B)entertained
C)coincidence
D)abandoned
E)expense
F)centralizing
G)collapse
H)attachable
I)invested

Passage 2
Americans Eugene Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller won the Nobel Prize for economics on Monday for developing methods to study trends in stock, bond and housing markets. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said that through their research, the three had laid the _1_ of the current understanding of asset prices and changed the way people invest. While it’s _2_ whether stock or bond prices will go up or down in the short term, it’s possible to foresee _3_ over periods of three years or longer, the academy said. “These findings, which might seem surprising and contradictory, were _4_ made and analyzed by this year’s prize winners,” the academy said. Fama, 74, and Hansen, 60, are _5_ with the University of Chicago. Shiller, 67, is a professor at Yale University. Starting in the 1960s, Fama and others showed how difficult it is to predict individual stock prices in the short run. His findings _6_ the practice of investing, leading to the emergence of index funds. Two decades later, Shiller showed that there is more predictability in the long run in stock and bond markets, while Hansen developed a _7_ method to test theories of asset pricing. “These are three _8_ different kinds of people and the thing that unites them all is asset pricing," says David Warsh, who tracks academic economists on his Economic Principals blog. The economics award is not a Nobel Prize in the same sense as the medicine, chemistry, physics, literature and peace prizes, which were _9_ by Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel in 1895. Sweden’s central bank added the economics prize in 1968 as a _10_ to Nobel.
