11.Q: Who did the man buy the books for?
A. His father.
B. His mother.
C. His brother.
D. His siser.
12.Q: What are they talking about?
A. A job opportunity.
B. A position as general manager.
C. A big travel agency.
D. An inexperienced salesman.
录音原文：
11.W: I suppose you've bought some gifts for your family.
M: Well, I've bought a shirt for my father and two books for my sister, but I haven't decided what to buy for my mother, probably some jewels.
12.W: Look! It says they want a junior sales manager, and it seems like it's a big company. That'll be good, for you might have to travel a lot.
M: Do they say anything about experience?
答案解析：
11.D 此题关键是信息对应，在听录音的同时做记录(shirt-father,books-sister, probably jewels for mother),然后仔细听问题“books买给谁”。
12.A 关键是要抓住核心词：销售经理(sales manager)，大公司(big company),经常出差(travel a lot)和工作经验(experience)。招聘职位是销售经理，而不是B(总经理的职位)，也不是D(毫无经验的推销员)，对话中的travel是指出差，而非旅行，故与C(旅行社)无关。本题符合短对话的.常用解题原则之一：听到什么不选什么，因为很多干扰项都是以读者像是作为出发点的。
听力题目：
15.Q: How does the man feel about the course?
A. He wishes to have more courses like it.
B. He finds it hard to follow the teacher.
C. He wishes the teacher would talk more.
D. He doesn't like the teacher's accent.
16.Q: What does the man think Mark should do?
A. Go on with the game.
B. Draw pictures on the computer.
C. Review his lessons.
D. Have a good rest.
录音原文：
15.W: Mark is playing computer games.
M: Should he do that when the final exam is drawing near?
16.W: But what happens if it rains? What are we going to do then?
M: We'll have to count on good weather, but if it does rain, the whole thing will have to be canceled?
答案解析：
15. B 关键在于听懂the more... the less这个比较句型。“教授讲的越多，我懂的越少”——说明男士听不懂教授的课，故选B。A,C均为无关原词的胡乱拼凑，D为无关信息。
16. C 关键要明白男士用的反问句型Should he do that所表达的否定意为和when the final exam is drawing near所表达的背景——“期末考试马上就到了，他还应该玩游戏吗?”言外之意即男士认为Mark应该“复习功课”，而不是“继续玩游戏”。据此，排除A和C。

Private School
With the development of the society and economy, various private schools arise. When you read newspapers, turn on TV, or even walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools, mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music, sports, and so on.
However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can cater to the special need of the society and the special need of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.
Were it left to me decide whether we should have a society without

We Should Balance Our Love
Nowadays it is common to see that many parents focus their attention on their children, but leave their own parents without proper care. The most typical example is the phenomenon of empty nest seniors. This problem has aroused the public concern and has become the hot topic of many discussions.
Paying little attention to older parents can have serious consequences. First, the elderly often feel lonely and depressed if there is no child with whom they can talk, and this can have a bad effect on their mental health. Second, the aged parents with no children by their sides can have a lot of trouble in their daily life due to disease or old age.
In my opinion, we should take the following measures. Children should be encouraged to live with or near their old parents, which is very helpful for them to know their parents, concern and attend their daily life. And it is also necessary for them to create chances to communicate with their aged parents. Besides, our govemmeiit should strive to establish the service system for the elderly and expand its social insurance coverage among them.
We Shouldn't Totally Turn to the Internet
Nowadays, Internet has become an indispensable part in our life, and we use it for various purposes, such as searching useful information and chatting online. However, now more and more people turn to the Internet for help whenever they have trouble in finding solutions to their problems, and this phenomenon has aroused the public's attention.
Relying on the Internet to solve all our difficulties can have bad impacts on us. On one hand, since we can always settle the troubles by searching solutions online, we can become very lazy and don't bother to think up answers by ourselves, which can hinder the development of creative thinking. On the other hand, the answers online may be inaccurate or wrong. If we use them without thinking the credibility of them, we may make serious mistakes someday.
As far as I'm concerned, we shouldn't completely depend on the Internet to settle problems. When we come across some difficulties, we’d better try our best to find possible solutions. If we make great efforts and still can't come up with an answer, then we can surf online to search solutions. But we should question the correctness of these answers before we adopt them.

Salary, promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting. Chris has made several changes for his Division in the past year.

What kind of training does one need to go into this type of job?
That’s a very good question. I don’t think there is any, specifically.
For example, in your case, what was your educational background?
Well, I did a degree in French at Nottingham. After that, I did careers work in secondary schools like the careers guidance people. Here is in the university. Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side. Then progressed on to universities. So there wasn’t any plan and there was no specific training. There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.
But in the first place, you did a French degree.
In my time, there wasn’t a degree you could do for administration. I think most of the administrators I’ve come across have degrees and all sorts of things.
Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I am doing now. Quite.
But you are local to Nottingham, actually? Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?
No, no, I come from the north of England, from west Yorkshire. Nottingham was one of the universities I put on my list. And I like the look of it. The campus is just beautiful.
Yes, indeed. Let’s see. Were you from the industrial part of Yorkshire?
Yes, from the Woolen District.

Question23. What was the man’s major at university?
Question24: What was the man’s job in secondary schools?
