Is this dictionary available? ‎ W: Ur…Oxford Learners Dictionary, the seventh edition? I am sorry. It’s sold out. ‎ M: Oh, that’s too bad. ‎ ‎2. ‎ W: Did you see the purse, honey? ‎ M: Your purse? No. Why the purse? We’re not going shopping anyway. ‎ W: I know. But our opera tickets are in it. And we have only one hour left. ‎ M: Did you have it when we left the parking lot? ‎ ‎3. ‎ M: What do you think of the film, Ellen? ‎ W: Well, the plot is not so good. ‎ M: But the music… ‎ W: The music is just so-so. Anyway, the dialogue is humorous. ‎ ‎4. ‎ M: You look smart in this red jacket. ‎ W: Thank you. A really good bargain, I think. You can get one for your sister. It goes on sale today. ‎ M: Yes, but what size she takes. ‎ ‎5. ‎ W: Hi, John. How is your exam? ‎ M: It couldn’t be better. ‎ W: Really? But remember this: hope for the best and be prepared for the worst. ‎ ‎6. ‎ W: You look tired. ‎ M: Yeah, I am worn out. I’ve been surfing the Internet. ‎ W: Were you doing school work or playing games? ‎ M: Well, I wanted to get some information about Canada for my project, but I found a really interesting chat room with people from that country and started chatting. ‎ W: Did you get the information you needed? ‎ M: Yes, but then we spent a lot of time chatting about other interests. ‎ ‎7. ‎ M: I hear a businessman is building a dog park in our city. ‎ W: Really? What for? ‎ M: Obviously because there’s a law against having dogs in the streets. ‎ W: Does it mean that dogs have to stay at home all the time? ‎ M: Sounds pretty cruel, right? Maybe a dog park is a good idea. ‎ W: Maybe they should just allow people to walk their dogs in the streets. ‎ M: But then streets could be a mess. ‎ W: Couldn’t people clean up after their dogs? ‎ M: Would they? ‎ ‎8. ‎ W: Mr. Parker, when did you arrive home yesterday evening? ‎ M: At about 8 o’clock. ‎ W: What did you do right after you entered your flat? ‎ M: Well, I washed my hands and then watched sports news. ‎ W: When did you have supper? ‎ M: At about a quarter to nine, I guess. ‎ W: Did you stay at home all evening? ‎ M: Yes. ‎ W: But your friend says that he found you several times between 8 and 9. But you didn’t answer. ‎ M: Well, I think I was in the bath at that time. ‎ W: No, you weren’t. You were not even at home last night. You robbed a bank in James Street. ‎ ‎9. ‎ M: Hi, mom. ‎ W: There you are. I’m getting worried. It’s so late. ‎ M: Yes. I ran into Linda and we went to a pub. She told me a funny thing. ‎ W: Oh?

The witness heard her saying, “Oh, my gold ‎ tooth…” ‎ ‎10. ‎ In my spoken English class, I asked the students about their impressions of their university life. To my surprise, many of them expressed disappointment. After their highly controlled high school lives, they were having difficulty adjusting to the free time in the university. When I asked them to describe their high school lives, many of them told me they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten at night. Most of this time was spent at school, doing piles of homework to help them prepare for the university entrance exams. ‎ Once they entered the university, in my opinion, the students are not expected to devote all their waiting hours to studying, they should also take an active part in social activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their time outside of the class between sports and clubs. What’s more, they should spend some time watching TV and chatting with their roommates. These activities are useful in helping them prepare for their future. But what struck me most was that many of them did not seem particularly happy about their new found freedom. As they had so many choices, they felt that no matter what they were doing, they should be doing something else. That’s why they were not happy. ‎ To those students, my advice was, get used to it and learn to make decisions for yourselves. ‎ ‎2009年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（湖北卷）英语听力 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）‎ 做题时，先将答案划在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。‎ 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）‎ 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。‎ ‎1.

Apart from that, she's really sweet.‎ M: You should have some patience then.‎ Text 3 ‎ W: I haven't seen John these days.‎ M: He's moved out. He's now living in a quieter place.‎ W: Is it far from the school?‎ M: Yes, but he said it's worth the trouble.‎ Text 4‎ W: Sir, did you see the "NO PARKING" sign?‎ M: I won't be here long.

She's practising it every day.‎ M: You should be happy then.‎ W: Yeah. It's Bob that's worried about. He really wants to buy drums.

Planes won't take off until tomorrow morning.‎ W: What? Then where can we stay for the night?‎ M: We've arranged the rooms for you in the airport hotel.

Just discuss it calmly.‎ W: OK, thanks.‎ Text 10‎ ‎ Welcome on board. Welcome to Anderson Tour to Stonehenge and Bath. Well, we've got everyone here. My name is Lorra and I'll be your tour guide. Our driver is Gary. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask us. That's what we're here for.‎ ‎ First, just a few ways about safety. The coach is equipped with seat belts. In Britain it's required to fasten the belt. And for the comfort of others, we ask you there should be no food or drink on the coach.‎ ‎ Now to arrangements today. We'll first visit Stonehenge, a world famous historic sight. The journey takes about two hours depending on traffic. You'll have about one hour to explore the area, and your tour manager will advise you what time to be back on the coach. ‎ ‎ We then leave Stonehenge and go on to Bath, a beautiful city standing on the River Avon among hills of England's Western Country. After you get there, the coach will drop you in the city centre. The tour manager will walk you into the world well-known Roman Baths built by the Romans in the 3rd century AD. And from this point on, you'll have free time to explore the city and grab some lunch.‎ ‎ 15:30 is the departure time from Bath for your return journey back to London.‎ ‎ Hope you enjoy the trip.‎
