听力原文： I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves; most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction. As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What can we learn about the speaker as a child？
34. What effect does reading fiction have on the speaker？
35. Which can be the best title for this passage？
(30)
A．He never watched TV.
B．He read what he had to.
C．He found reading unbelievable.
D．He considered reading part of his life.
听力原文：M: I'm sorry I'm late.Rose.
W: That's all right,Vic.My house isn't that easy to find.Many of my friends have trouble finding the way when they come for the first time.But you know,you wouldn't have gotten lost if you had a"smart"car.
M: A smart car？I have never heard of that before.What's a smart car？
W: I just read a magazine article about some new technology that can make a car smart.One device is a computerized map display and a synthesized voice,you must enter the address where you want to go,and the voice tells you how to get there,street by street.
M: Hey,that's just like my brother.He never gets lost,and he's always telling me the best route.So what else will a smart car be able to do？
W: Well,the article said that they will be equipped with radar warning systems that will warn drivers if they're getting too close to other cars with an alarm signal,and they will even put on the brakes if the drivers don't.
M: Tell me,Rose,will these cars be smart enough to fill themselves up with gas？
W: Not that I know of.Why do you ask？
M: Well,I'm not late because I got lost--I'm late because I ran out of gas on the way over here.
What do we learn about a"smart"car according to the woman？
A．It uses new technology.
B．It is installed with a robot.
C．It is as clever as human.
D．It can talk with people.
I've never read such an interesting magazine that I ______ it in a breath.
A．converted
B．created
C．covered
D．conveyed
M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drug store for 10 minutes, he is usually there to make a specific purchase.
W: And someone who spends more time there may be just looking？
M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'll buy something and then talk yourself out of it？
W: Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all.
M: Exactly, but, if you run in to buy something specific and have very little time, you pick it up, pay for it immediately, and then leave.
W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time end you'll spend less money.
M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores though. In a department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or some thing you never intend to buy, and buy it because you have time to look around.

听力原文：M: Hi, Vivian. What are you doing here？
W: Hi, Steve. I'm having a bit of trouble finding some of the stuff I need.
M: What're you looking for？
W: Well, I'm just trying to find out something about the use of steel in building construction. Do you have any idea？
M: Frankly, I don't know much about this. What about the library？ There's a database on the computer, and most of the stuff you need is catalogued. You can find it somewhere.
W: Yes, but that's the easy part! Then you have to find the book you want on the shelves, and you often find that it's out already.
M: I know what you mean ! Then you have to line up to borrow it, if it's CTL.
W: CTL？ What's CTL？
M: It means "confined to library" : you know, it means you can't take it out. You have to read it in the library.
W: It seems easy, doesn't it？ But you have to reserve it, and then you may want to photocopy bits of it, or make notes--and there never seems to be enough time.
M: Hmm! In your shoes, I think I'd have a word with our tutor.
W: I think I'll do that! Thanks! See you later. Bye!
M: See yah! And good luck !

W: Sure. You weren't in class on Monday, were you？ That's when it was given out.
M: No, I missed that class. Was there a handout？
W: No, the professor just wrote the assignment on the board (20) .
M: Could you lend me your notes？
W: Yes, of course, but I just wrote down the part that I wanted.
M: Oh, no.
W: You see, there were four choices of topics for the term paper (19) . But when 1 saw them, I knew which one I wanted so I didn't copy the other three (21) .
M: Can you remember any of the others7
W: Let's see. There was one about World War I, but I don't remember the details, and there was one called "The Idea of' Progress in the Nineteenth Century".
M: And what was the last one？
W: I can't remember. My mind is a complete blank. Maybe you can ask someone else.
M: Yes, I will Anyway, those topics are quite broad.
W: Yes, but you can focus on a special area within them. Which one would you take？
M: of course, I don't know what the last one is, but of these three, I think I’d take "the idea of progress".
W: That's very abstract.
M: But it's one of my interests and I have read a lot on the subject (22) . I've never written a term paper on it though.
W: Me neither. I haven't even read about it. Are you going to class on Wednesday？
M: Yes.
W: Maybe the professor will talk about the assignment again.
M: I hope so. Good luck with your paper.
W: Thanks. Same to you.

Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some sensible methods of assessment (评估) to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to reverse the process. First one looks at a commercially available test. Then one distills (去除) the skills needed not to master reading, say, or math, but to do well on the test. Finally, the test skills arc taught.
The ability to read or write or calculate might imply the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparation for a test with the acquisition of that skill. Too many discussions of basic skills make this fundamental confusion because people are test obsessed (着迷的) rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught.
Recently many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple terms, the phenomenon of students with phonic and grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are competent at test taking and filling in workbooks and ditto (复制品) masters. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but can't see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grade that they have no time or ease of mind to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary.
The author gives an account of Erica's performance in her study in order to ______.
A．illustrate her cleverness in test-taking
B．reveal the incompetence of teachers
C．show there is something wrong with current practice in teaching
D．demonstrate the best way to read textbooks

Hu: All right! But I'm having a bit of trouble finding some of the stuff I need.
John: Really! What're you looking for？
Hu: Well, I'm just trying to find out a bit about the use of steel in building construction. Have you any ideas？
