歌曲 忘记我还是忘记他
你静静地抚摸我的头发，
眼瞳中流泻出对爱无力的匮乏，
我的心感觉好害怕，
一种莫名巨大的悲伤，
悄悄的降临在我的身旁。
我淡淡的伪装我的彷徨，
沉默中仿佛我们之间有一道墙。
我的脸笑的好牵强，
一切用心规划的梦想，
如今看来是那么勉强。
我看不透你的想法，
多么可怕的想法，
怎么去爱都是惩罚，
怎么选择都是一场心伤，
忘记我还是忘记他。
我想不透你的想法，
多么可怕的想法，
难道你已硬了心肠，
怎么决定都是一场渺茫，
忘记我还是忘记他。
爱情已让人无法自拔，
难道我还要继续装傻，
继续 挣扎
歌曲 Sealed with a kiss
Though we're gonna say goodbye for the summer
darling I promise you this
I'll send you all my love everyday in a letter sealed with kiss
Cause it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness I'll send you all my love
Everyday in a letter sealed with a kiss
I'll see you in the sunlight
I'll hear your voice everywhere
I'll run to tenderly hold you
But darling you won't be there
I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
Oh let us make a pledge to meet in September
And sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss sealed with a kiss
注：wanna=want to
gonna=going to

Almost heaven, West Virginia

Shenandoah River
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered ‘round her
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice
In the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads

11. A) They often take place in her major industries.
B) British trade unions are more powerful.
C) There are more trade union members in Britain.
D) Britain loses more working days through strikes every year.
12. A) Such strikes are against the British law.
B) Such strikes are unpredictable.
C) Such strikes involve workers from different trades.
D) Such strikes occur frequently these days.
13. A) Trade unions in Britain are becoming more popular.
B) Most strikes in Britain are against the British law.
C) Unofficial strikes in Britain are easier to deal with now.
D) Employer- worker relations in Britain have become tenser.
Strikes are very common in Britain. They are extremely harmful to its industries. In fact, there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain. The trouble with the strikes in Britain is that they occur in essential industries. There are over 495 unions in Britain. Some unions are very small. Over 20 have more than 100, 000 members. Unions do not exist only to demand higher wages. They also educate their mem¬bers. They provide benefits for the sick and try to improve working conditions. Trade unioners say that we must thank the unions for the great improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law for union members to go on strike without the support of their union. This kind of strike is called the unofficial strike and was common until recently. Em¬ployers feel that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they would not be predicted. How¬ever, these unofficial strikes still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to co¬operate with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and em¬ployers in Britain has gone from bad to worse.
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. In what way are strikes in Britain different from those in other European countries?（开头）
12. Why are British employers so afraid of unofficial strikes?（most, because）
13. What conclusion can be drawn from this passage? （结尾As a result）
注：Unions do not exist only to demand higher wages. 【否定转移】
一个句子中（无标点），如果前面是否定，后面表达的是原因、结果和目的，那么前面的not否定的是句子后面的原因、结果和目的，而并非是谓语动词。
I didn't spend 3 hours repairing your vacuum cleaner so that it could sit in the closet.
I didn't teach because it's easy.
[P49-Two]
15. A) How to handle spiders.
B) Spiders in the United States.
C) People' s fear of spiders.
D) A special kind of spider.
16. A) Most spiders will not bite even when handled.
B) Most spiders are poisonous and dangerous.
C) Most spiders are likely to attack people.
D) Most spiders have sharp eyes.
17. A) Because she cannot find a husband for herself.
B) Because the female spider is larger than the male one.
C) Because the female spider often eats her husband.
D) Because she is a black female spider.
You should not fear spiders because of their poison. Of all the spiders in North America, only one kind is really dangerous and most would not bite even if they were handled. They much prefer to run away or to drop to the ground on a thread of silk. Even so, when a spider runs directly toward a person, it gives the impression that it is about to attack. Actually, it cannot see the person in its way. The spider is too short-sighted to see things at a distance. It only wants to go where it will not be disturbed. In the United States one kind of spider is responsible for the frightening reputation of the rest. It is the Black Widow. So called because the female, which is larger than the male, often eats her husband after making love. The Black Widow is found in all states but is most common in the south and the west. She constructs a loose, irregular web under a pile of rowans or near the foundations of buildings where she is seldom disturbed. She is not an attacking spider and many people have proven this by letting her crawl over their hands. When she bites, it is usually in self-defence. In spite of the stories you may have heard, it is rare for a person to be bitten by a Black Widow and even more unusual for the bite to prove fatal. But remember that her poison is powerful and even though she is shy, she should be respected.
Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
15. What is this passage mainly about?
16. What do we learn about spiders from the passage?（only, most）
17. Why is the spider you just heard about called the Black Widow?（because）
注：You should not fear spiders because of their poison. 否定转移

歌曲 忘记我还是忘记他
你静静地抚摸我的头发，
眼瞳中流泻出对爱无力的匮乏，
我的心感觉好害怕，
一种莫名巨大的悲伤，
悄悄的降临在我的身旁。
我淡淡的伪装我的彷徨，
沉默中仿佛我们之间有一道墙。
我的脸笑的好牵强，
一切用心规划的梦想，
如今看来是那么勉强。
我看不透你的想法，
多么可怕的想法，
怎么去爱都是惩罚，
怎么选择都是一场心伤，
忘记我还是忘记他。
我想不透你的想法，
多么可怕的想法，
难道你已硬了心肠，
怎么决定都是一场渺茫，
忘记我还是忘记他。
爱情已让人无法自拔，
难道我还要继续装傻，

歌曲 Sealed with a kiss
Though we're gonna say goodbye for the summer
darling I promise you this
I'll send you all my love everyday in a letter sealed with kiss
Cause it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness I'll send you all my love
Everyday in a letter sealed with a kiss
I'll see you in the sunlight
I'll hear your voice everywhere
I'll run to tenderly hold you
But darling you won't be there
I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
Oh let us make a pledge to meet in September
And sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss sealed with a kiss
注：wanna=want to
gonna=going to
歌曲 Take me home, Country Roads
John Denver
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered ‘round her
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice
In the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads
注：down 往南去
up 往北去

Strikes are very common in Britain. They are extremely harmful to its industries. In fact, there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain. The trouble with the strikes in Britain is that they occur in essential industries. There are over 495 unions in Britain. Some unions are very small. Over 20 have more than 100, 000 members. Unions do not exist only to demand higher wages. They also educate their mem¬bers. They provide benefits for the sick and try to improve working conditions. Trade unioners say that we must thank the unions for the great improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law for union members to go on strike without the support of their union. This kind of strike is called the unofficial strike and was common until recently. Em¬ployers feel that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they would not be predicted. How¬ever, these unofficial strikes still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to co¬operate with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and em¬ployers in Britain has gone from bad to worse.

D) Because she is a black female spider.
You should not fear spiders because of their poison. Of all the spiders in North America, only one kind is really dangerous and most would not bite even if they were handled. They much prefer to run away or to drop to the ground on a thread of silk. Even so, when a spider runs directly toward a person, it gives the impression that it is about to attack. Actually, it cannot see the person in its way. The spider is too short-sighted to see things at a distance. It only wants to go where it will not be disturbed. In the United States one kind of spider is responsible for the frightening reputation of the rest. It is the Black Widow. So called because the female, which is larger than the male, often eats her husband after making love. The Black Widow is found in all states but is most common in the south and the west. She constructs a loose, irregular web under a pile of rowans or near the foundations of buildings where she is seldom disturbed. She is not an attacking spider and many people have proven this by letting her crawl over their hands. When she bites, it is usually in self-defence. In spite of the stories you may have heard, it is rare for a person to be bitten by a Black Widow and even more unusual for the bite to prove fatal. But remember that her poison is powerful and even though she is shy, she should be respected.
Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
15. What is this passage mainly about?
16. What do we learn about spiders from the passage?（only, most）
17. Why is the spider you just heard about called the Black Widow?（because）
注：You should not fear spiders because of their poison. 否定转移
