三、第3段总结全文——意见不统一不足为奇，提出个人观点并给出原因。
The Impact of Social Networking Websites on Reading
As we can see from the picture，a pair of lovers is discussing about reading.To our amusement,the boy says his favorite book is Facebook.While the picture is seemingly humorous and ridiculous,it is thought-provoking on second thought,intending to inform us that the social networks have exerted an important impact on o ur daily reading.Opinions vary when it comes to the impact of social networking websites on reading.Some-people insist that social networking websites provide large collections of information at great speed and stimulate our reading interest.On the other hand,some people claim that it is a common phenomenon that youngsters spend too much time reading on social networking websites,and it is these websites that make teenagers have less opportunities or ti
me to read traditional books.
There is a saying goes like this，“Every coin has two sides”.So there is no surprise that there are different opinions on the impact of social networking websites on reading.However,I,as a college student,am convinced that it is necessary for us to read on social networking websites,but it is also of greater necessity for us to read traditional books,because social networking websites are just tools and a heavy dependence on them will bring more harm than good.

M:(12)People often get into love affairs because they have unrealistic expectations about somebody.Then when the person doesn’t turn out to be who they thought he or she was,they start thi
nking“maybe I can change him or her.”That kind of thinking is a mistake.Because when the dust settles,people are going to be pretty much what they are.It’s a rare thing for anybody to be able to change who they really are.And this creates a lot of problems. W:At62,you continue to spend a large percentage of your life touring.What appeals to you about life on the road?
M:(13)Music.I don’t especially love life on the road,but I figure if you are lucky enough to be able to do what you truly love doing?You’ve got the ultimate in life.

Section B
Passage One
16-18听力原文
Changing technology and markets have stimulated the team approach to management.Inflation,resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscore the need for better coordination in organizations. Team management provides for this coordination.Team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized.(16)Although a team may be composed of knowledgeable people,they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.When teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations who have been conditioned to traditional organizational culture, cooperation may not occur naturally.It may need to be created.(17)Furthermore,the issue is n
ot just how the team can function more effectively,but how it integrates with the overall organization or society that it supposedly serves.A group of individuals is not automatically a team.Therefore,team building may be necessary in order to improve the groups performance.Casey,an expert in this field,suggests that the cooperation process within teams must be organized,promoted and managed.He believes that team corporation results when members go beyond their individual capabilities,beyond what each is used to being and doing.Together,the team may then produce something new,unique and superior to that of any one member.For this to happen,he suggests the multi-cultural managers exhibit understanding of their own and other’s cultural influences and limitations.They should also cultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity,persistence and patience,as well as assertedness.(18)If a team manager exemplifies such qualities,then the team as a whole would be better able to realize their potential and achieve their objectives.
Questions16to18are based on the passage you have just heard.
16.What should team members do to fully realize their potential?
17.What needs to be considered for effective team management?
18.What conclusion can we draw from what Casey says?

17、A)。细节辨认题。短文中提到，问题不仅仅在于应该怎样让团队更高效地工作，还应该让团队与它所服务的公司或社会融合在一起。
18、D)。推理判断题。短文中提到按照Casey的看法，如果团队经理能够展示出他所提到的各种素质，整个团队就能够更好地发挥潜力，实现目标。也就是说，团队经理应该具有某些特定的素质。

a program which could send images over the Web as well. Mosaic was an overnight,success.It was put on the university’s network at the beginning of1993.And by the end of the year,it had over a million users.Soon after,Andreessen went to seek his fortune in Silicon Valley.(20)Once he got there,he started to have meetings with a man called Jim Clark,who was one of the Valley’s most famous entrepreneurs.In1994,nobody was making any real money from the Internet which was still very slow and hard to use.But Andreessen had seen an opportunity that would make him and Clark rich within two years.He suggested they should create a new computer program that would do the same job as Mosaic but would be much easier to use.Clark listened carefully to Andreessen,whose ideas and enthusiasm impressed him greatly.(21) Eventually,Clark agreed to invest three million dollars of his own money in the project;and to raise an extra15 million from venture capitalists who were always keen to listen to Clark’s new ideas.

Passage Three
22-25听力原文
Advertising informs consumers about the existence and benefits of products and services and attempts to persuade them to buy them.(22)The best form of advertising is probably word-of-mouth advertising which occurs when people tell their friends about the benefits of products or services that they have purchased.Yet virtually no providers of goods or services rely on this alone,but use paid advertising instead.(23)Indeed many organizations also use institutional or prestige advertising which is designed to build up their reputation rather than to sell particular products.(24)Although large comp
anies could easily set up their own advertising departments,write their own advertisements and buy media space themselves,they tend to use the services of large advertising agencies.These are likely to have more resources and more knowledge about all aspects of advertising and advertising media than a single company.It is also easier for a dissatisfied company to give its account to another agency than it would be to fire its own advertising staff.The client company generally gives the advertising agency an agreed budget,a statement of the objectives of the advertising campaign,known as a brief and an overall advertising strategy concerning the message to be communicated to the target customers.The agency creates advertisements and develops a media plan,specifying which media will be used and in which proportions.(25) Agencies often produce alternative ads or commercials that are pre-tested in newspapers,television stations,etc., in different parts of the country before a final choice is.made prior to a national campaign.
Questions23to25are based on the passage you have just heard.
22.What is probably the best form of advertising according to the speaker?
23.What does the speaker say is the purpose of many organizations’using prestige advertising?
