1.[D]計(jì)算機(jī)已壞，當(dāng)然不能馬上發(fā)郵件，所以答案為D。
2.[A]既然去時(shí)圖書(shū)館已經(jīng)閉館，當(dāng)然書(shū)也就沒(méi)有借到，由it closed before I got there可以推論 說(shuō)話者沒(méi)有借到書(shū)。
3.[A] play鍵自然是放音的，由此可以判斷女士是在play a tape recorder。
4.[A]從OK, we can drop it this time可以判斷A不對(duì)，從男的道歉來(lái)看，是男的曾傷害女士，所以答案為D。
5.[D]從男士許諾保持聯(lián)系和要飛過(guò)去看女士來(lái)看，男的是在為女的送行，答案為D。
6.[C]從fulltime student來(lái)看，說(shuō)話者是要停止工作全身心地投入學(xué)習(xí)。
7.[C] teaching assistant的工作自然是協(xié)助教授授課，即assists the professor with his teaching。
8.[A] 認(rèn)為票很早就買完了也就是認(rèn)為沒(méi)有票了。
9.[B]當(dāng)然男士說(shuō)How could you sleep through that?顯然是責(zé)備對(duì)方不應(yīng)該睡覺(jué)，那就是應(yīng)該更認(rèn)真些，即B。
10.[A]從finance and economics來(lái)看，說(shuō)話者是想在銀行工作。
11.[D]本題為信息再現(xiàn)題，文章有明確的表達(dá)the man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Ketennel, the name of his native town, but the never succeeded, .. he lost his temper。
12.[C]從文章最后The parrot was screaming at the fourth, "Say Ketunnel, or I'll kill you,"來(lái)判斷是鸚鵡殺死了三只雞，即the pet bird。
13.[A] 鸚鵡恐嚇雞的語(yǔ)言與作者所用的語(yǔ)言一致，說(shuō)明鸚鵡明白了作者的恐嚇，答案為A。
14.[D]本題為細(xì)節(jié)判斷題，從about 5 percent of the present population are women可以判斷婦女在英國(guó)囚犯中占的比例很小。
15.[A]本題為細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。文章最后一句some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work說(shuō)明允許囚犯到外面學(xué)習(xí)或工作，即A。

20.[C] 文章learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs說(shuō)明答案為C，即在學(xué)習(xí)駕駛時(shí)他們沒(méi)有薪水，所以必須keep previous jobs。

Passage 1
　　There was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Ketunnel. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Ketunnel, but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird. But gradually, he lost his temper. "You stupid bird. Why can't you learn to say that one word? Say Ketunnel or I will kill you." But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, "Say Ketunel, or I'll kill you." But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally, the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. "You are even more stupid than the chickens." In the chicken house, there were four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday's dinner. The next morning, when he went out of the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth, "Say Ketunel, or I'll kill you."
11.Why did the man lose his temper?
12.Who killed the three chickens?
13.Why was the shocked at the scene the next morning?
Passage 2
　　In Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime, you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent to special centers when you learn special skills like cooking, writing and car maintenance. About 5 percent of the present population are women. Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons. The open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend three to ten hours outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do, whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night, but for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors, or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.
14.What do we know about women prisoners in Britain?
15.In what way are open prisons different from closed prisons?
16.What do we learn about prisoners in Britain?
Passage 3
　　London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you "How do you get from Birmingham palace to the Tower of London?" and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won't say "well done". They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions, they will just say "See you in two months' time." and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.
17.Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?
18.How long does the training period last?
19.Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?
20.Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?
