Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage One:The journey two drivers made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the wor

33、ld still remains to be studied. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents or signs of life.It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and so be easily foun

34、d by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers of wa

35、ter. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30,000 f

36、eet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise: even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of “dust” made up of small dead

37、 sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephon

38、e began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.Questions 26 to 28 are based on

39、the passage you have just heard.26. What did the drivers want to find at the deepest point on the earth? 27. Why did the drivers set out early in the morning? 28. What did the drivers find on the ocean floor? Passage Two: For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the worlds

40、greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeares writings that have become part o

41、f the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that “it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations”! Shakespeare, more perhaps than

42、any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate th

43、e richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort ( it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakesp

44、eares day.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What can we conclude from the passage? 30. Where are many English words and phrases we use today from according to the passage? 31. Who should read Shakespeares plays in order to learn the richness of English language? 32.

45、 What is the authors purpose to introduce the information? Passage Three: It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and/or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the p

46、roblem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the ver

47、y climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels ( coal and oil) is creating a greenhouse effect holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the worl

48、ds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water. Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the a

49、tmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. At present we do not know for

50、 sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will make up for each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the s

51、ame as it is now.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. How did people use to think about air pollution? 34. How many viewpoints are mentioned as the main reasons leading to air pollution? 35. What is the passage mainly about? Section C: Compound Dictation:Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.
