M: Well, you didn't expect it to be warm, did you？
W: Of course not, but I just heard the National Weather Service's prediction for the next 90 days. They said it's sup- posed to be much colder weather than usual.
M: Yeah, maybe. Personally, I think those long-range forecasts are useless.
W: Not as useless as you think.
M: Oh, come on, when you're talking about what's going to happen three months later, you might as well just pick a forecast out of our hat. W: Well, you are half-right. They aren't very good for the amount of rain. But they are a lot better for temperatures especially for this time of the year.
M: Really, so I should take them seriously about the cold but not count too much on a lot of extra snow？
W: Un-huh.
M: But what did you say about this time of the year？ Do some seasons really give them more problems in making forecasts？
W: Autumn is the worst, apparently weather patterns change so much then, just think how variable our weather has been the last three months.
M: Come to think of it. That's true. It probably would have been hard to predict all those changes back in the summer. You know, you're beginning to convince me there is more to forecast than I thought. How come you know so much about it？
W: I get my information from an expert. My sister's a meteorologist.
On what aspect of weather forecasting is the conversation about？
(20)
A．How much its accuracy has improved recently.
B．How reliable long-range forecasts are.
C．How difficult it takes to make a good forecast.
D．How the current forecast causes troubles.

听力原文： A lot of parents do not realize how important the emotional aspect of the relationship is. It determines their children's performance. I recently heard a mother discussing what school her child might get into. She said, "I don't know how bright my son is." She said that as if her son's intelligence was an independent fate, like the color of the boy's eyes.
Many parents are frequently bothered by their children's marks at school. Their relationship with the child is almost wholly built around this. It was not at all like that with my dad. Until I was eight, he did not seem to worry about marks. And, after that, it was never exam performance that he was concerned about. Rather, he concentrated on my self-understanding. He constantly showed me that I was not stupid by pointing out things I had said that were signs of intelligence. This gave me self-respect. I kept failing exams. But, my father thought there was a difference between my failing one exam and whether I would be a success or failure in life.
Money can be used as a substitute for love for children of divorcees or of rich parents. It can also be used with school performance. Especially in the present exam-crazed system, parents can easily forget the point of education: it is to create fulfilled, creative adults, not exam-takers. If they show love conditionally on performance, it is a cause of depression.
(30)
A．The mother does not enjoy the performance of her son.
B．The mother does not like to communicate with her son.
C．The mother does not like her son.
D．The mother is short of emotions towards her son.

听力原文：W: Have a seat, Mr. Younger. What can I do for you？
M: I have a house in Seattle. It's about 400 sq. ft, including the house and the yard. I'm looking for somebody who will buy it in cash.
W: How much do you want to sell it for？
M: Around half a million U.S. Dollars.
W: Sounds reasonable.
M: I'd like to sell it as soon as possible for ready money.
W: I see. Is the house under your name？
M: Yes. Here are the papers. I've also made copies of each of them. You can keep the copies.
W: Very well. Do you have a photo of the house with you？
M: Yes. Here they are. There are six of them.
W: Did you bring the negatives as well？
M: Sure. Here you are.
W: This one is OK. But the others… Well, I think I'll have to send my men to take pictures of your house, pictures that are taken by a professional and are able to show the whole aspect of the house.
M: That's fine with me. What is your charge for this service？... Er, I don't mean the pictures, I mean to be my agent.

M: It's surprising because when I started, I thought I'd be sending things to London and maybe Birmingham but, in fact, a high percentage of it is sent abroad, because it's immediate and speedy.
W: And how much would it cost, for example, if I wanted to send a fax to the United States？
M: Well, a fax to the United States would cost you five pounds for a page. And when you think that in England by the Royal Mail, it would cost you twelve pounds to send a page by special delivery, it's actually a good value.
W: Ok. What about your hours？ How long do you have to spend actually in the shop？
M: Well, the shop is open from eight in the morning until six at night, six days a week, and then a sort of fairly flexible morning on a Sunday. Urn, and of those hours, I'm in it quite a lot.
W: And did you enjoy it？
M: Yes, overall I enjoy it. Running a business by yourself is hard work and you never quite like every aspect all the time. 95 % of the customers I love. Uh, 2% I really, you know, I'm not too bothered about. And 3 % I positively hate.
W: What, what's the problem with those？
M: Urn, it's hard to categorize really. I find people who are just to- tally rude, urn, unnecessary, and I don't really need their business and I suppose they form. the volume of the people that I don't like but it's a very small percentage.
(27)
A．A foreign country.
B．London.
C．Birmingham.
D．A different time zone.

W: Sometimes. You know the life of a social worker is not all wonderful and working to help people in their daily life. I have to spend a lot of time pushing paper, and writing reports too. But when I do get out, yeah, I see a lot of foreigners. And sometimes they come in because life in America has just beaten them down and they can't cope financially or emotionally.
M: Really？ I would think that they had a good support network in place, especially university students.
W: They do have a network, and a variety of support groups, but these can't meet all of the students' needs. They can't help with paying bills, dealing with American neighbors and customs, fitting in, getting a driver's license, etc. They try, but very often the student has to figure out a lot of this stuff by himself. And if he or she is shy, they don't have the courage to ask other people, even other people from their nationality.
M: So what are some of the things that overseas students struggle with？
W: This might interest you, but they struggle with the food, especially Chinese. You know, they come here knowing that Americans love Chinese food so much. They think that there will be good restaurants with Chinese food that they love. But they get here and they are extremely surprised. Americans enjoy totally different flavors.
M: So what do they do？
W: If they're brave and curious, they look around and test all the restaurants. There is usually at least one restaurant in every town that has almost quality food.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. In which aspect does the woman help people in her work？
24. Why do people come to the woman for help？
25. How did Chinese students expect the American-made Chinese food before they came to the U.S？
(20)
A．Writing reports for them.
B．Teaching them foreign languages.
C．Helping them deal with daily existence.
D．Introducing work for them.
第10题
His wife Jane, an Oxford graduate in modern languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House literacy scheme for adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in sole charge of home and family. Apart from this, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers his principal work—writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in the British Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton. People ask the Maces if they think that their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to reserve time and energy to play with their children. "And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children."
Previously, Rodney Mace worked full-time and Jane only part-time. Then 18 months ago, the director of file literacy scheme left. "It seemed to me that Jane was very well suited to do this ]ob. She was very doubtful about it. But I urged her to apply. She did, and she got it." Jane Mace confirms that she needed this encouragement, as so many women initially do. Did his male self-esteem suffer from the change-over？ Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it changed his thinking. "I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief. I wasn't avoiding responsibility, but changing it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us — I think for all of us, in every aspect of our lives, I cannot overemphasize that: in every aspect, 1 think it is fundamental that the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is just a fancy if one partner doesn't work."
The article is about a couple whose married life is happier because ______.
A．they have a truly equal partnership
B．the husband has more sense of household responsibility
C．the couple cares little about other people's comment on their life
D．the wife has a full time job
