Section one.
You will hear a man talking first to a receptionist, and then to a doctor at a health centre.
First, you have some time to look at questions one to three on page two.
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
Good morning. How can I help you?
Yes, I'm a visitor to this area. I had a sporting accident a little while ago, and I'm still in some pain, and I wondered if I could see a doctor here.
Certainly, sir. We can take you on as a temporary patient.
I'll just take down some personal details.
Can I start with your name?
Yes, it's Peter. Peter Smith.
The patient's name is Peter Smith. So, Peter Smith has been written in the space.
Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
Listen carefully, and answer questions one to three.
Good morning. How can I help you?
Yes, I'm a visitor to this area. I had a sporting accident a little while ago, and I'm still in some pain, and I wondered if I could see a doctor here.
Certainly, sir. We can take you on as a temporary patient.
I'll just take down some personal details. Can I start with your name?
Yes, it's Peter. Peter Smith.
Right, Peter. And where are you staying here?
At 95 Crosby.
At 95 Crosby Street.
And the suburb?
Walkley. That's W-A-L-K-L-E-Y.
Mm-hmm. And can I have a contact phone number?
Uh, it's 4689-5324.
Thanks. Okay. If you'll just wait down there, the doctor will see you in a minute.
Before you hear the rest of the conversation... Take some time to look at questions four to ten on page two.
Thank you. Now, listen, and answer questions four to ten.
Now, what can I do for you? It's, uh, Peter Smith, isn't it?
Yes. I had a sporting accident and was treated by a doctor at home, but I'm still in pain.
Hmm. Right. I just need to ask you a few questions, first of all.
Fine.
Now, uh, what sport were you doing?
I was playing tennis.
Mm-hmm. I see.
And what was the nature of your injury? Did you hurt your elbow or wrist?
Uh, no. I had a sprained knee. That was the original problem.
Right. And when did this happen?
Uh, it was three weeks ago now, so that was June 18th.
Mm-hmm. Fine. And you say you had medical treatment?
Yes. The doctor said I didn't need an x-ray or anything, and he just told me to use an ice pack.
Mm-hmm. An ice pack. Fine.
And you said you had a sprained knee?
Yes, and I've been using a walking stick to help me get around.
Right. Now, what problems are you experiencing at the moment? Are you having any problems walking?
Well, I can walk okay, but I still can't go upstairs, so I've been sleeping downstairs.
Hmm. Now, you say your knee still hurts?
Well, no. Actually, it's recovering nicely. It's my back that's hurting me now. It really aches at night, and I can hardly sleep.
Hmm. And you say your knee still hurts?
Well, no. Actually, it's recovering nicely. It's my back that's hurting me now. It really aches at night, and I can hardly sleep.
stick away, as that's probably the source of the problem. It'll be making you unbalanced.
Oh, really? I wish I'd known.
After that, I can prescribe you something to relax the muscles in your back.
Oh, sorry to be difficult, but I've had something like that in the past, and there were lots of side effects, and I had to stop taking it. Can you recommend anything else?
Well, yes, we do have a leaflet showing some exercises you can do to help yourself at home. If you do them every day, they'll soon be effective.
Great, I'll do that.
That is the end of Section 1. You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Section 2
英文原文：
Section 2.
You will hear a radio announcer describing a situation.
A city in New Zealand called Gisborne.
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16, on page 3.
Now listen carefully, and answer questions 11 to 16.
Greetings, all you listeners out there. This is National Radio, and I'm Kevin Lowe.
This morning I'm going to tell you what's so special about the laid-back city of Gisborne.
You'll hear a little bit about its past in the old days, and a lot about what attractions it has to offer foreign and domestic visitors today.
So listen up to learn more about what there is to do in this city and its surrounding region, where the economy is booming, but the lifestyle remains unspoiled.
The Gisborne region is where the legendary canoe sailed by Maori explorers first landed in New Zealand about 1,400 years ago.
After its long and risky voyage over the sea, it is also the easternmost point of the country, which is what inspired its original name, Te Tarawhiti, which in the Maori language means the coast where the sun rises across the waters.
Gisborne was also the place where the European explorer Captain Cook first landed his boat upon discovering New Zealand, all the way from England back in 1769.
Even in those early days, this district was a centre of horticulture, thanks to its fertile soil and subtropical climate.
Soon after that, of course, the English settlers arrived, and soon Gisborne was shipping its products to larger settlements, such as Auckland and Wellington.
This began with maize and root crops, but quickly expanded to butter, meat and wool from the agricultural settlements in the rich pastoral country near Gisborne.
Gisborne was also the place where the famous Poverty Bay was built, where wharves and jetties were built beside the sea to service the coastal traders.
Many of these wooden structures can still be seen on Gisborne beaches today.
Today, Gisborne continues to export fresh produce to other regions of New Zealand.
These wares include various award-winning cheeses, and of course, the delicious lobsters and snapper fish harvested by hand from the local reefs and waters.
As for exports to Asian markets, there's an increasing demand for the region's oranges and lemons.
Gisborne is also becoming well-known nationally and internationally as the source of some top-quality white and red grapes.
Now, what's on in Gisborne?
Well, first up, there's the annual Gisborne concert, held every summertime.
This is a great experience.
It's held at Waiheke.
It's a traditional Maori meeting house, or marae of the same name.
They bring in a piano player and opera singers who perform on a purpose-built stage in a kind of natural amphitheatre, in the middle of the rows of grapes.
It's a fantastic concert-like atmosphere.
A really good night out.
What to do on a rainy day?
I'd suggest a visit to the show called The Beach, which is on in Gallery 1 at Gisborne.
It's a big display, so it also takes up the hall next to Gallery 1, and it's divided into different sections of the local culture, like surfing, camping, fashion, and so on.
If you buy the book of the exhibition, there are some interesting photographs in there.
Before you hear the rest of the program, you have some time to look at questions 17 to 20 on page 4.
Now listen and answer questions 17 to 20.
There's a lot else to see in Gisborne as well.
You shouldn't miss the Hot Springs Reserve, which has warm natural mineral pools and little houses where you can stay amongst the bush.
Being very secluded and private, this resort is most favoured by newlyweds who often book a cabin for their honeymoon.
The water is very therapeutic too.
It's apparently good for your health to bathe there, though not recommended for pregnant women or the elderly.
Around the corner is Mahia Peninsula, legendary as a New Year's Eve party destination for large crowds of university students after their graduation.
The surfing and fishing here is excellent, and it's a safe spot for swimming and diving too.
Now, also good for kids.
It's a great place to go for a raft or jet boat ride on the Motu River.
This sounds quite wild, doesn't it?
But in fact, this activity is often used by local primary schools who take big groups of young children, several classes at a time, out here for a bit of fun while they're on their school camp.
No parents required.
You can have some time out, as this activity is a lot safer than it sounds, and is carefully supervised by the rafting company.
Finally, don't let's forget the Edom.
It's a great place to go for a walk in Woodlands Park, which is really a huge tree nursery.
You can walk for hours here, in the peaceful green surroundings, along a variety of tracks.
There's even a very nice walkway, made wide enough for those in wheelchairs, so that everyone can go along and enjoy Mother Nature at her best.
That is the end of section two. You now have half a minute to check your answers.

第二部分。
你将听到一位电台主持人介绍新西兰吉斯本市的情况。
首先，你有时间查看第11-16题。
请认真听并回答第11-16题。
“各位听众早安，这里是国家广播，我是Kevin Lowe。
今天早上我要讲述新西兰悠闲城市吉斯本的特别之处。
你将听到一些历史故事，以及对游客开放的众多景点介绍。
这里经济繁荣，生活却依然质朴。
吉斯本是毛利探险独木舟1400年前最早登陆新西兰的地方，
这里也是新西兰最东端，毛利语叫Te Tarawhiti，意思是“太阳升起的海岸”。
1769年，库克船长也首次在这里登陆新西兰。
这里自古园艺业就发达，土壤肥沃，属亚热带气候。
英国移民到来后，吉斯本向奥克兰、惠灵顿等大城市出口产品，最初是玉米和块茎，后来扩展为黄油、肉类、羊毛。
著名的Poverty Bay也在吉斯本，海边建有许多码头，如今还可见到旧木结构。
现在吉斯本还在向新西兰其他地区出口新鲜农产品，有获奖奶酪、龙虾和鲷鱼等。
对亚洲出口方面，这里的橙子、柠檬需求也日益增长。
吉斯本还是优质红白葡萄酒的著名产地，国内外都很有名。”
“吉斯本有哪些活动呢？
每年夏天有吉斯本音乐会，在Waiheke岛毛利会议厅举行。
有钢琴家和歌剧演员在葡萄园的露天舞台表演，氛围棒极了，是很棒的夜晚。
雨天可去Gallery 1欣赏《The Beach》展览，还包括冲浪、露营、时尚等不同文化主题。
买展览书还能看到有趣的照片。”
“吉斯本还有很多景点不容错过。
比如温泉保护区，有天然矿泉池和林中小屋，新婚夫妇常来度蜜月，水很有疗效，但孕妇和老人不推荐。
附近的Mahia半岛则是大学毕业生跨年派对胜地，冲浪、钓鱼都很棒，游泳和潜水也很安全。
孩子们喜欢在Motu河漂流或坐喷射快艇，这听着刺激，其实常被小学组织做集体活动，安全有保障，家长不用陪同。
最后别忘了Edom的Woodlands Park，那是一片巨大的苗圃，你可以在宁静的绿地小径散步数小时，有宽敞无障碍步道，轮椅也能通行，人人都能享受大自然美景。”

Section 3.
You will hear three marketing students discussing their research findings on vehicles known as SUVs, or four-wheel drive vehicles.
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25, on page six.
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
So, guys, have you got all your notes on four-wheel drive vehicles?
Shall we go through what we've each found and think about how we'll put it together for next week's marketing seminar?
Yeah, sure. Let's start with what these cars were originally designed for.
Oh, I've got something on that here. Well, four-wheel drives, or sports utility vehicles as they are officially known, SUVs for short,
were originally designed for off-road use by people who need to get to remote areas out in the bush, for instance.
But the interesting thing is that they're actually sold now to a lot of people who just use them in cities, so they make quite different use of them.
OK. Then maybe we should make a list of their advantages, shall we?
Sure.
So, one thing is that they're good for commercial use, OK?
Uh-huh. How about also saying utilitarian rather than luxurious?
So, you're not paying out for unnecessary luxuries, OK? What else?
Well, they have increased engine capacity and they're also heavier, so suitable for towing large loads.
So, is this why so many people buy them, then?
Well, OK. They seem to have become fashionable now for rather different reasons.
Research carried out by automobile clubs shows that people buy them for business because of the sort of image they project.
And mums like to drive their kids to school in them because they think they're safe.
So, that's another reason.
And you can get about seven people into one of these, so we could say seating capacity is another factor.
Mm-hmm.
OK.
Another thing that came out of...
One of the things that came out of my research is that people also like the higher seats.
They say it means they can get a better view of the traffic ahead of them.
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30 on page 6.
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
But you know... just don't work. I mean, the safety thing is just a misconception, because generally in a collision they can do terrible damage to a smaller car.
That's right. That's one of the disadvantages I have here. Shall we go through those now?
Good idea. So, let's say that potentially they are harmful in built-up areas. Generally the damage they cause is due to their weight. That's right, isn't it?
Yes, it is. I've got a note here about their chassis. The bodywork on an SUV is stiffer and doesn't crumple to absorb impact in a collision the way it does in smaller cars.
And there's another reason why they're not safe. It's quite easy for them to roll over, more so than an ordinary car, because they've got a high centre of gravity.
So, these are all the disadvantages. How are we going to round this up?
Well, I think maybe we could round up...
With a few ideas of how we can limit the use of these SUVs. One thing that could be done is to limit them to people like farmers, who can prove that they need them.
That's good, but it might be hard to enforce.
And companies could also increase the insurance for SUVs, since they cause more damage when there's an accident.
That's a good idea, too. I tell you what, guys, I'll write up these notes onto an IHT so that everyone can see them when we talk through our notes in the seminar.
But I think we need to put together a list of our sources, too.
Yeah.
Can you do that?
Sure, no problem.
That is the end of Section 3. You now have half a minute to check your answers.

第三部分。
你将听到三名市场营销专业学生讨论他们对SUV（四驱车）的调研发现。
首先，你有时间查看第21-25题。
请认真听并回答第21-25题。
“大家都写好关于四驱车的笔记了吗？我们先互相过一下各自的发现，商量怎么整理成下周市场营销研讨会的报告？”
“好啊。我们先说说这些车最初的用途吧。”
“我查到些内容。四驱车（官方叫Sports Utility Vehicle，SUV）原本为需要到偏远地区的人设计，适合越野。”
“有意思的是，现在其实很多人买它们只在城市里用，使用场景大不一样。”
“那我们列下它们的优点？”
“好。首先，商用很方便。”
“还可以说‘实用’而不是‘豪华’，不用为不必要的豪华花钱。”
“还有，发动机马力大、车重，可以拖很重的东西。”
“所以很多人买的原因是这些吗？”
“嗯，现在SUV流行更多是别的原因。汽车协会调研显示，有人觉得SUV适合商务，形象好。
妈妈们喜欢开SUV送孩子上学，因为觉得更安全。
另外，能坐7个人，空间大，这也是优点。”
“还有我查到的，人们喜欢SUV座位高，说这样视野更好。”
“接下来有时间查看第26-30题。
现在请听并回答第26-30题。”
“但其实……安全只是个误区，碰撞时对小车伤害很大。”
“没错，这就是缺点之一。要不要现在列下所有缺点？”
“好主意。比如在城区，SUV可能更危险，主要因为重量大。”
“是的。车身刚度大，撞击时不像小车那样能吸收冲击。”
“还有，SUV容易侧翻，因为重心高，比普通轿车更不安全。”
“这些就是缺点。最后怎么收尾？”
“可以提提如何限制SUV使用。比如只让像农民这样确实需要的人买。”
“主意不错，就是执行难。”
“还可以提高SUV的保险费，因为它们出事故损害更大。”
“也不错。这样吧，我把这些整理成IHT文档，大家研讨会时能看到。”
“还要整理参考资料列表。”
“你能做吗？”
“没问题。”

Section 4英文原文：
Section 4.
You will hear a university professor.
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on pages 7 and 8. So we identified only those adults whose children were under 17.
Other variables included the age of the adult, level of education they had reached, their ethnic background, their income, and foreign-born status.
To obtain our data, first we conducted interviews in the respondents' own homes, and all in all, we interviewed 6,600 adults aged over 17.
Then we invited them to mobile examination centers, where surveys were conducted.
From this information, we were able to focus not only on the total fat intake, but also on the person's total caloric consumption.
Our results show that the presence of children led to significantly higher levels of both fat consumption and saturated fat in adults.
We found on average that adults with children in the home ate 4.9 grams per day of fat more than adults without children.
This result is consistent irrespective of race, gender, or age.
The foods more commonly were convenience items high in fat or sugar, including pizza, salty snacks, and ice cream.
Interestingly, there is a significantly higher percentage of adults in this group who drink milk.
There are many explanations for this increased fat intake.
Hectic schedules, where parents try to balance work, family, and leisure, put time at a premium.
Another issue is children's preference for fatty foods, or foods with a high sugar content.
Fast foods and ready-to-eat foods are convenient choices.
It is inconvenient to prepare different meals for both the children and the parents, so it is likely that adults consume the same as their children.
Of course, there were limitations to our data.
One of these is that we did not take into account the number of minors in each household, which could have an effect on the adult who feeds the children.
In addition, this study does not take into account the relationship of the adult to the minor.
We could also postulate that the older a child gets, the more independent he or she becomes, and so the influence a child has on an adult may lessen depending on the age of the child.
In terms of recommendations as a result of this study, we would like to see more research conducted to overcome the limitations outlined earlier.
We also feel there is a need for even further research into the influence that friends can have on our fat intake, given the clear link we've established between family members.
That is the end of section four.
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
That is the end of the listening test.

第四部分。
你将听到一位大学教授的讲座。
首先，你有时间查看第31至40题。
“我们只调查了家中有17岁以下孩子的成年人。
其他变量包括成年人的年龄、受教育程度、种族、收入和是否为外国出生。
我们首先在受访者家中做了访谈，一共访问了6600名17岁以上的成年人。
然后邀请他们到流动体检中心，完成问卷调查。
这些信息让我们不仅能关注总脂肪摄入量，还能了解总体热量摄入。
我们的结果显示，家中有孩子会显著提高成人的脂肪和饱和脂肪摄入量。
平均而言，有孩子的家庭成人每天多吃4.9克脂肪。
这个结果在不同种族、性别和年龄段都一致。
这类家庭最常吃的都是高脂高糖的方便食品，如披萨、咸味小吃和冰淇淋。
有趣的是，这组成人饮奶比例也明显更高。
脂肪摄入增加的原因有很多。
父母忙于平衡工作、家庭和休闲，时间非常紧张。
孩子们也偏爱高脂高糖食品。
快餐和即食食品成了方便选择。
要为父母和孩子分别做饭很麻烦，所以大人往往和孩子吃一样的食物。
当然，我们数据有局限，比如没考虑每户孩子数量，
也没考虑成人和孩子的具体关系。
我们还可以假设，孩子越大越独立，受孩子影响的成人可能会减少。
因此，我们建议开展更多研究来弥补上述不足。
我们还认为，朋友对脂肪摄入的影响也值得研究，因为家人之间的联系已很明显。”
