After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Passage OneQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script:From the time I was a child growing up in New Jersey, I loved spending weekends with my grandparents. Their big old house was cozy, and I felt especially welcome and relaxed in Granny's small kitchen. It was there that we had good conversations, and Granny could always tell something meaningful.I remember one Saturday morning when I was about 11 years old. After breakfast I asked Granny, "What kind of soup are you making today?""Vegetable beef," she answered. "And you can help me to prepare."So we got the vegetables from the refrigerator: onions, carrots, potatoes and so on. She gave me a knife and cutting board so I could do my share of the work.As I slowly peeled carrots, I began to complain, "I've got to give an oral book report next week and I'm scared." Granny looked at me and said, "Most people are afraid of public speaking. But you could try practicing in front of a mirror." Such words were not very comforting, and I went on to complain about schoolwork, friends and family.Granny listened patiently. Then she sat down next to me. I stopped cutting and looked into my grandmother's eyes. "Nancy," she started, "there's nothing wrong with a little trouble in your life. It adds character. You know, a lot of people don't make homemade soup these days. They say it's too much trouble.""But I don't mind a little trouble," she said. "It adds variety and flavor to my soup, and to my life. You have to remember that God knows exactly what he's cooking up in your life. You've got to trust him with the recipe." She smiled and then walked away.That Saturday, Granny gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents, somehow my problems didn't seem quite so big anymore. Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Granny's homemade soup."6.The story at the Granny's house happened when I was _____.A) 10 years oldB) 11 years oldC) 12 years oldD) 13 years oldScript: The story at the Granny's house happened when I was _____.正确答案：B学生答案：C得分：0分7.What soup was Granny making that day?A) Onion and carrot.B) Potato.C) Potato and beef.D) Vegetable and beef.Script: What soup was Granny making that day?正确答案：D学生答案：D8.I was scared because I had to give ______ the next week.A) a written assignmentB) a talk about studyC) an oral book reportD) a science presentationScript: I was scared because I had to give ______ the next week.正确答案：C学生答案：C得分：2分9.According to Granny, why don't many people make homemade soup?A) Because it's too much trouble.B) Because it takes too much time.C) Because it's too expensive.D) Because it's not delicious.Script: According to Granny, why don't many people make homemade soup?正确答案：A学生答案：A得分：2分10.What happened in the end?A) I was still worried.B) I thought a lot without eating the soup.C) I prepared for my work after dinner.D) I felt relaxed.Script: What happened in the end?正确答案：D学生答案：C得分：0分Passage TwoQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script: Passage TwoA Christmas tree is necessary for celebrating the day in your home. Nobody says Christmas likes a six-foot pine cut down and erected in your living room for your holiday enjoyment. If you choose to buy a real tree and not a plastic one, here are some tips on how to keep it fresh for your party.First, cut off an inch from the bottom of the tree trunk so that it will absorb water better. Then place it in a tree stand that holds at least one gallon of water, and water the tree every day.Second, before any tree-trimming takes place, spray the tree with something that will prevent the needles from losing water. You can also prevent the tree needles from browning by keeping decorative lights off during the daytime because the heat from the light dries out the needles.Third, keep the tree away from the fireplace and candles. A tree on fire is not a fresh tree.Then you should decide on whether you want to decorate the tree before your party, or if you want to make tree-trimming a party activity. Either way, you have to prepare a box of things to add to the tree.You might also want to decorate your tree with little stockings that have your guests' names written on. You can stuff the stockings with candy and give them to your guests as party favors.As a last suggestion, you can ask everyone to bring something to decorate the tree, and have a competition to see who brings the best thing. In this way, you will start a tradition and cover your tree all at once!11.If you buy a real tree for the Christmas party, you have to keep it _____.A) outdoorsB) growingC) freshD) shinyScript: If you buy a real tree for the Christmas party, you have to keep it _____.正确答案：C学生答案：C得分：2分12.Why should the decorate lights on a tree be turned off in daytime?A) To prevent the needles from drying out.B) To save electricity.C) To surprise your guests.D) To make the tree grow better.Script: Why should the decorate lights on a tree be turned off in daytime?正确答案：A学生答案：A得分：2分13.Instead of decorating the tree before the party, you can also _____.A) ask friends to do it for youB) make it a party activityC) ask the shop to do it for youD) buy a decorated treeScript: Instead of decorating the tree before the party, you can also _____.正确答案：B学生答案：B得分：2分14.The stockings can be stuffed with ______ to be given to your friends.A) fruitsB) stonesC) candyD) picturesScript: The stockings can be stuffed with ______ to be given to your friends.正确答案：C学生答案：C得分：2分15.What tradition can you start to decorate the tree?A) Asking everyone to bring something and then having a competition.B) Asking everyone to vote for the best thing on the tree.C) Dancing around a decorated Christmas tree.D) Asking friends for their suggestions about tree decoration.Script: What tradition can you start to decorate the tree?正确答案：A学生答案：B得分：0分Part II Oral Tasks ( 3 minutes )Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear several conversations.
