Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently.  71

     First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.  72  The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.

     Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding.  73

     Here is some of the advice I give to my students:

     Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.

     Do not translate everything into your native language.

    74  Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.

     Listen to something you enjoy.

     I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word. I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion.  75 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention, I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

A. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!

B. What should you do?

C. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!

D. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.

E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.

F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.

G. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.

·　　　　　　　　　　 When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a small farm and it was very difficult for us to know what was happening outside the small farm, especially in the winter when we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its own problems, too.

　 One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basic needs like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from a disease that makes breathing very difficult and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside as I like, even in the summer. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

　 Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you taste in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety (多样性) of goods is very surprising—and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

67. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

　 A. Staying on the farm.　　　　 B. Moving to the countryside.

　 C. Leaving home for the city.　 D. Running away from the school.

　 A. The writer is very old now.　　　　　 　　 B. The writer is in good health.

69. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.

　 A. express his opinions about way of life

B. describe his life in the countryside

　 C. show an interest in the outside world

D. persuade the reader to live in the city

70. How is the passage mainly developed?

　 A. By questioning.　　　　　　　　　 B. By comparing.

C. By listing examples.　　　　　　　 D. By giving explanations.

（1）　　　 A group of graduates, successful in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor．Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life．

Before offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups — porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking and cheap, some extremely expensive — telling them to help themselves to the coffee．

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones．While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress．The fact is that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee．In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink．What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously(有意识地） went for the best cups．．．And then you began eyeing each other's cups．

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups．They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not change the quality of life we live．Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us．"

God makes the coffee, not the cups．Enjoy your coffee!

Earthquakes strike suddenly at any time of the day or night, but there’s no way to tell them. If an earthquake happens, it may cause many deaths and injuries and great damage.

If possible, take a book, a pillow or any other things to protect yourself from falling glass and ruins. If you are indoors, you must immediately lie under any strong furniture. If outdoors, move to an open area away from trees, buildings, walls and power poles. If you are in a narrow valley, move to the centre of it and look out for falling stones. If you are in a car, move to the side of the road and stop the car. Do not stop near buildings, power lines or under bridges. Stay in your car until the shaking stops.

         William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony(和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited(继承) excellent taste in art from his family-----both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama(戏剧) and poetry.

Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.

     Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’ poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.

     He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats’ death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:

     Earth, receive an honored guest:

     William Yeats is laid to rest.

     Let the Irish vessel(船) lie.

     Emptied of his poetry.

56. Which of the following can describe Yeats’ family?

A. Yeats founded the first Irish theatre.

B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.

C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.

D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize.

58. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden’s lines?

A. Envy         B. Sympathy            C. Emptiness       D. Admiration
