Directions: Read the text, match the items (61-65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Read the texts from an article, For five questions, match each rule (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.
John Harvey:
In fact if you go out to a restaurant it's very difficult to find "British" cooking, but you can find almost anything else: French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and so on. London is full of foreign restaurants. I love trying "Newdishes". I think you can understand a lot about another culture from its food.
Jo Baker:
I like foreign food, but not all. I particularly do not like Indian food, although I quite enjoy a mild curry I make myself. I like most European dishes, but Spanish food is quite low down on my list. However, I think you have to travel a long way to beat good old English cooking. What can be nicer than the aroma of a piece of beef roasting in the oven, surrounded by crisp roast potatoes and served with piping hot Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and gravy? From my point of view, I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad. You see, that's just part of the enjoyment of traveling to another country. Foreign food is also fine for an odd night out to restaurant, but for every day please give me good old English food.
Gabby Macadam:
On the whole I enjoy foreign food, but at thought of thinking dozens of foreign dishes, I simply can't stand. You see, they have fish in some way or other and I never eat fish in any form. I have found that many foreign dishes are served with a kind of sauce. I think it is the accompanying sauce that hides all sorts of problems. I am not so sure that I would be as fond of them as I am if they were served without the sauce.
Len Dangerfield:
When we English people travel abroad, we always make a great fuss about studying the menu but always end up with steak. You see, when I'm abroad I always miss our home cooking. I mean, I'm used to English food. Sometimes I do go to restaurant to taste some exotic dishes, but most of the time I still prefer to have English food. You know, it's always difficult to get used to god in other countries.
Peter Hawke:
I like foreign food. I particularly like Indian food. Well, I'm married to an Indian girl. She is a good cook. I'm lucky to have her cook for me every day. I think Indian food as well as other foreign foods is generally tastier and more spicy than English food. Traditional English dishes, like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and fish and chips, are quite well known abroad. But I must say as a nation we are not particularly good at catering. As far as I'm concerned, I think we should learn to cook more interesting dishes and make our food tastier and more varied.
Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
[A] Cooking varies from country to country even though the basic gradients may be very much the same.
[B] I can't stand those foreign dishes which contain fish in some way or other, and I' m not so sure that I'm fond of many foreign dishes which are served with a kind of sauce.
[C] I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad, but for every day I still prefer home cooking.
[D] I always miss English food when I'm abroad.
[E] We are becoming more and more cosmopolitan in our eating habits.
[F] I love foreign food, and I think people can understand a lot about another culture from its food.
[G] English people should learn to cook more interesting dishes and make their food tastier and more varied.

听力原文: Good afternoon. My name is Mary Raffety. For the next eleven weeks, I will be your lab instructor. The lab experiences you will be having are designed to complement your work in Dr Kaplan's inorganic chemistry course. Today's experiment is purposely a short one; it will help you become familiar with the lab setup and equipment.
As your lab instructor, it is my duty to assist you in setting up your experiments and understanding your results. I will also grade your lab notebooks. But I have an even more basic responsibility: your physical safety. I will insist on proper precautions, such as wearing protective goggles at all times. I also expect you to use common sense: don't wear long scarves that might catch fire; don't smoke; don't taste unknown substances.
Let me reinforce this point with a story. Issac Newton, perhaps the greatest scientist of all ages, lived in a period when the toxic effects of chemicals were less understood than today. He routinely sniffed fumes, tasted chemicals, and used open containers for heating substances. In the early 1690s, he suffered through a period of insomnia, depression, and mental instability. Though his biographers linked this situation to problems in his personal life, researchers now think it was a consequence of his lab procedures; they found abnormally high concentrations of lead, mercury, and other heavy metals in preserved specimens of his hair.
Consequently, we must learn from the past and put safety first.
At what point in the semester does this talk take place?

At the beginning.
B. In the middle.
C. Near the end.
During the final exam.

听力原文: South Korea has confirmed it will move its future seat of government to a rural site south of its capital Seoul. Prime Minister Lee Hai-chan told a news conference Wednesday the government has selected the Yongi-Gongju area, which lies in the center of South Korea, to be the site for the new capital.
The government plans to begin buying land for the 7,100-hectare site next year, with construction scheduled to start in 2007 and end in 2030. The government chose the site of the new capital, which has yet to be named, over two other areas because of its superior transport and environmental conditions, officials said. The presidential office and 72 other key state institutions will be located there. But other organizations, such as the National Assembly and the Supreme Court will decide whether to move or not.
President Roh Moo-hyun made relocating the capital away from crowded Seoul a key plank of his election campaign. At the time he said he believed it would help decentralize the country and boost regional development in Asia' s third-largest economy.
But the relocation—which could cost as much as $94 billion—has sparked fierce debate among rival parties, who have raised questions about the efficiency and feasibility of the project. The main opposition Grand National Party claims the government is recklessly pushing what it says is an unrealistic plan without popular support. A media survey showed that more than half of the public are opposed to the plan, citing its high costs compared with its expected effects.
Which of the following is NOT true about the new capital according to the report?

A. It's in the center area of South Korea.
B. It has excellent transport and environmental conditions.
C. The relocation will cost $94 million.
D. It is not named yet.
