第1题
听力原文：Interviewer: My guest today is Douglas Turner, who recently spent a weekend climbing a mountain in Africa. Douglas, how did this come about？
Douglas: Well, I suppose it started with seeing adverts for activity holidays in the national press week after week; it somehow got into my subconscious. Then there was one which said, 'Are you ready for the greatest physical challenge of your life？ 5,000 metres. One weekend', and somewhat against my better judgement, I found myself picking up the phone straight away. You see, I simply hadn't trained for it, the nearest I'd got was a bit of hill-walking five years ago.
Interviewer: What did you think you would get out of the weekend？
Douglas: Generally when I go to things I enjoy meeting people, but in this case I was afraid the rest of the group would be a bunch of healthy types, and I wouldn't have much in common with them. And as for the physical effort of climbing the mountain, I thought I'd be lucky if I survived the weekend at all! It was more a kind of wanting to see what I was mentally capable of doing, would I get cold feet and not go at all, or go, but give up halfway up, that sort of thing.
Interviewer: But you made it to the top.
Douglas: Yes, I did. Much to my surprise, I can tell you.
Interviewer: And were you right about the other people？
Douglas: No, actually. There were a few serious walkers and climbers, but most of the participants were professional people who wanted to do something ,quite different once in a while, more or less like me, in fact. So not intimidating after all. Though I have to admit that nearly all of them were fleer than me. Actually I hadn't realised so many people did this sort of thing. It was funny, when I told a friend that I was going, she said, 'Oh, not another one. Everyone I know's going climbing this year. There's a big thing about pushing yourself to your limit at the moment, isn't there？ You're welcome to it,' she said. 'You won't catch me up there.'
Interviewer: How did you all get on together？
Douglas: I suppose we were a bit suspicious of each other at first, but that soon went, and we somehow developed a really close group feeling, and nobody complained about having to wait for the slow ones, which usually included me. Or at least, if they did complain, they did it out of earshot. In fact, on the flight home we were busy exchanging cards and decided to book another weekend trip as a party-- but without a mountain in sight this time.
Interviewer: Se how did the weekend compare with your expectations？
Douglas: It was much better than I'd expected. It made me change, in subtle ways. As I'd hoped, I gained in self-knowledge, and I learnt to get on with people I couldn't escape from, but I also became much more observant, of the tiny little wild flowers, for instance, and that was quite a bonus.
Interviewer: I suppose you're going to be a regular mountain climber now.
Douglas: The pair of boots I wore, I'm keeping with the mud still on them, on my desk at work. They're a kind of trophy, to prove to myself that rve done it. But I somehow don't think I'll be using them again. I'm going to have to put them somewhere less visible, though, because it's sometimes a bit embarrassing when other people are impressed.
Interviewer: Douglas Turner, thank you very much.
Douglas: Thank you.
How did Douglas feel when he booked the weekend？
A．sure that he would enjoy training for it
B．uncertain if it was a good idea for him
C．surprised that such activities were organised

To: "The Shoe People" ＜ inquiries@shoepeople. com ＞
From: "John Trimbald" ＜jtconstruction@img. com＞
Subject: Customer Complaint
To Whom It May Concern,
I have trusted the Shoe People to protect the feet of my employees for over ten years now. I recently purchased a few pairs of boots from your company for my crew. Though my men were initially satisfied with the boots, the soles began to fall apart on them after just twelve weeks. This was extremely surprising considering they came with a six year warranty. The boots are unsafe to wear because my men are pouring hot concrete. Please respond as soon as possible with instructions on how I can return the boots and receive a refund.
Thank you.

Subject: RE: Customer Complaint
Dear Mr. Trimbald,
Thank you for your e-mail concerning the poor quality of our rubber soled black workboots. A representative will be by your office next week to pick up the damaged boots. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you and your crew. Along with five new pairs of workboots for your crew (we included one extra pair), we have enclosed a free year's supply of sole protector spray. In our retail stores, this spray is always recommended to buyers who work on heated floors. This should have been brought to your attention at the time of your initial order (received by telephone on October 12, 2007). Please excuse our oversight. To date we have had no complaints about these workboots from customers who have used the protector spray. However, should you use the spray and find that you are still unsatisfied with the boots, please return the boots and spray for a full refund. Thank you for supporting The Shoe People. Have a Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Stan Mason, President
Which company was unsatisfied？
A．Stan Mason's company
B．The Shoe People
C．JT Construction

It was the first snow of winter. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss king, my kindergarten teacher, may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my snow pants, but I struggled with my jacket because it did not fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother. Finally it was time to have Miss King help me with my boots. She said, "By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots."
I handed her my boots, and she managed to get the first one into place and then worked the second one on, too.
I said, "They are on the wrong feet". She struggled to get the boots off and tried again. Then I said, "These aren't my boots, they are my brother's boots and I hate them!" Somehow, she managed to act as though I was not an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved, less gently this time and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. Seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, "Now, where are your gloves？"
I looked into her eyes and said, "I did not want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots."
According to the passage, the little girl got______from her brother.
A．the pants and jacket
B．the jacket and boots
C．the jacket and hat
D．the gloves
