听力原文 Section A

11. W: You look awful. What happened to you?

M: I quarreled with my wife last night. I want a wife to take care of me. Q: What does the man mean?

12. W: Are you asleep or are you just pretending to sleep? M: I‘m really asleep.

W: If you can hear me, you must be faking it. Good, you can give me a hand with the chores. Q: What is the probable relationship between the man and the woman?

13. M: Mary doesn‘t want me to take the job. She says our child is too young and the job requires much

travelling.

W: You should talk to her again and see if you can find a way out. Think about the gains and losses

before you make a decision.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 14. M: Cathy and Bill got a separation.

W: It‘s really a shame. I‘ve heard that they quarrel, but they‘ve always made up afterwards. Q: What probably happened to Cathy and Bill?

15. M: What kind of father am I? My only son almost died, and I didn‘t even know he was ill.

W: Don‘t blame yourself. You were too busy to pay attention to him. If his mother was still alive,

things would have been much better.

Q: Why does the man blame himself?

16. M: You had a job interview yesterday, didn‘t you? How did it go?

W: Not too bad, I guess. There were about 20 candidates competing for the sales manager‘s job. And

finally it was down to three of us, but, unfortunately, the other two are men. And they seemed better qualified.

Q: What does the woman imply?

17. W: It is so hard for the female graduates to find a suitable job these days. M: Yeah, it is also the case to the male graduates. Q: What does the man mean?

18. M: Congratulations! Vicky! You have been offered the chance to study abroad for half a year.

W: Thanks, Jack! But it‘s hard for me to make the decision. I really don‘t know how to strike a

balance between being a mother and a teacher.

Q: Why is the woman not so happy? Conversation one

Mother: Hello, Frank, this is Mum. Have you made any plans for your work after graduation? Frank: Well, Mum, I‘d prefer a job at a large hospital in Beijing or shanghai. Mother: As a doctor?

Frank: No, not exactly a doctor. I‘d rather work as a nursing officer. It‘s em… it‘s what a lot of people

call a male nurse.

Mother: A male nurse? Are you kidding, Frank?

Frank: No, I‘m serious, Mum. I know, people usually think nurses are female and male nurses seem to

be strange and they are assumed to be failed doctors but…

Mother: Frank, I thought you really wanted to be a doctor?

Frank: No, Can you believe that I really want to be a nurse and that er…er… it isn‘t just that I may fail

as a doctor?

Mother: Frank, my dear, don‘t you realize that nurses do different things from doctors?

Frank: I know very well, Mum. As a male nurse you have much more contact with the er… patients

and you know, a long term responsibility for their …their welfare. Huh, there‘s no way I‘d want to be a doctor…they have practically no personal contact with their patients…

Mother: Dear, you should know people usually think nursing is female‘s work. It‘s not suitable for a

male, because it require care and patience.

Frank: Mum, that‘s a stereotypical view of nursing. The world has changed, and so has people‘s

attitudes towards job roles. I‘m really interested in this job and have qualifications for it, why shouldn‘t I do it? Believe me, Mum, I‘m going to be a really good nurse.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. What is people‘s usual view on male nurses?

20. According to Frank, what is the difference between doctors and nurses? 21. Why does Frank‘ mother think this job is not suitable for a male? 22. For what reason does Frank choose to work as a nurse? Conversation two Jane: Mike, is it possible for you to spare some time this weekend to take John to the zoo? Mike: I‘m sorry, Jane. I wish I could. But… Jane: Please, Mike, don‘t tell me you are busy again this weekend. You are always busy with your

work, ever-ending work. Why don‘t you think about your son and me?

Mike: I do. You should know, Jane, what I‘m working for. I‘m trying my best to earn more money to

support the family. Jane, you know, it‘s getting difficult to make ends meet.

Jane: Yes, you are doing your best. And I know you are a very successful manager. But Mike, you

第 2 页 共 36 页

have to admit you are not a devoted father.

Mike: That‘s unfair, Jane. It really hurt me when you say that. Jane: It seems to me that all you really care about is your career; you don‘t show enough concern for

my work or the education of our son

Mike: What do you mean, Jane? I do care about you and our son. But the problem is I…I just don‘t

have time to take care of the family. I feel really terrible.

Jane: Mike, what I mean… I mean you should try to understand me, understand how hard it is as a

working mother. I have to strive to keep the balance between being a mother and a professional. You know it‘s really hard. Keeping up the family responsibilities at home, and still having to work hard at my job. You should know there is always the possibility of being laid off.

Mike: Don‘t worry so much, Jane. To be honest, I‘d rather you stay at home to be a full-time

housewife, so…

Jane: No, no way. I wouldn‘t give up my career for anything. Mike: All right, all right, let‘s talk about it later.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23. According to Mike, why is he working so hard?

24. Which of the following statements is not true about Jane as a working mother? 25. What does Mike suggest Jane to do to relieve her hardness as a working mother?

Section B Passage One

More often than not, household chores will lead to tired and angry couples. It‘s known to all that housework often triggers disputes in a marriage. Surrounded by piles of laundry, dirty plates, both husbands and wives feel stressed. But here the wives voice is louder, especially for those with kids. According to a survey, each child brings an increase of more than thirty hours of housework per week. The accumulating cleaning, shopping, and cooking just drive the wife crazy.

In an idealistic case, the husband will help out. Yet most bread-earners habitually turn a blind eye. When wives bury them in dishes and anticipate emotional response, husbands are changing channels for action movies. Moreover, when being warned about the wives dissatisfaction, they show complete ignorance. Because of this, they are often accused of laziness and sexism.

The truth is, due to the different makeup of brain, men and women take different attitude towards housework. A man‘s brain takes in less than that of a woman. Therefore, he can feel at ease with a mess, while, a woman would rather die if she could not restore the order. Further research reveals that men attach little personal identity to housework. Instead, they are looking to the outside and perseveringly pursue power and recognition. This is also the reason why men tend to become a workaholic when they have kids. They are proving their worth in their own way.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. According to the passage, who will feel most stressed?

27. Which of the following best describes men‘s attitudes towards housework? 28. Why do most men turn a blind eye to housework? Passage Two

But she arranged for them to go stay with the woman
