听力原文:W: Hi Frank. What are you up to? Is that really a French grammar book?
M: Well, I'm trying to teach myself some French. When I go to Montreal next semester, I don't want to sound like just another tourist. Most of the people there are bilingual.
W: Leave Boston to go to Montreal? I didn't know this university had a program in Canada.
M: It doesn't. I'm planning to take a short leave of absence from school so I can go there on my own,
W: What's the reason for this sudden interest in Canada?
M: Well, actually I've been thinking about going for some time. Now I know someone there who's been wanting me to visit.
W: A relative?
M: An old friend of my uncle's runs a chemical engineering department up there. So I'm hoping he can help me enroll in some interesting courses.
W: If you want those credits transferred back here later on, you'd better arrange for it before you leave. Don't forget what happened to Susan after she came back from Rome.
M: Yeah. But her situation was different. I already have all the credits I need to graduate.
W: So you'll be taking courses just for the sake of learning.
M: That will be a nice change of pace, won't it?

A. Planning a sightseeing tour.
B. Writing to his uncle.
C. Arranging his class schedule.
D. Reading a language textbook.
M: Well, you've asked a rather strange person a pretty standard question. I happened to be doing language for my A level at school, and I decided that I didn't think there was a great deal of future in the study of languages, so I decided that I'd change over to some scientific subject that I felt might be useful. And after a great deal of difficulty, got accepted at a medical school, found it very difficult to get going, but eventually succeeded and perfectly happy.
W: So you mean eventually you went into... er... medical school or university without any A levels in scientific subjects.
M: That's right. The first morning the lecturer wrote up some chemical formula on the board, which was the first chemistry lecture I had ever been to. As far as I was concerned, she might have been putting it up in Egyptian hieroglyphics. It didn't mean a thing. So that was a long time ago.
W: So you had a lot of... sort of... personal individual work to do to catch up with everyone else then.
M: Yes, it was very hard, but the university I was at, which was Sheffield, had a kind of special class for what you might call "lame ducks" such as myself. And there was a retired watchmaker. There was a dentist. There were a couple of nurses -- people who had come to do medicine in later life having taken up other things. So I think they looked after themselves well and most of us in the end managed to get through.
W: And you eventually qualified?
M: Yes, when I qualified in Sheffield way back in 1960, I was then actually so interested in the general aspects of medicine that I joined a special practice at the University of Manchester that was teaching medical students, and being involved very closely with the academic side of medical practice, and from then on went on to student health service work back in my former University of Sheffield and then came down here to Reading twelve years ago.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: One of the first questions anybody may ask about a new-born is "what is the baby's name?" Faced with this tiny pink new-born baby, we want to put a name to it, as if by doing so, we welcome it to this world of individuals. We always name the things we love. A small child will give names to even his tiniest toys or his well-chewed blanket. And the difference between "Blankie" and the blanket is an entire personality.
There are many ways to choose a name for a baby. One of the most common is to use an old family name. If the family tie is strong enough, parents are often willing to overlook an unpleasant feeling or meaning. If all the men for five generations have been named Branden, who are you to complain that the name means "smelly hair"? Inspiration need not be limited to the family tree. Pick the name of an Italian city where the baby was born. Name the baby after your favorite poet or interesting scent.
It can be difficult to find a perfect name for your baby. But the beauty of the process is this. By the time the baby is a few months old, his personality erases all other associations the name may hold, the evil snake or the much loved poet fades away and the name becomes quite simply the name of your child. And you will have made the right choice.
