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: If you are lost in the mountain, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival. Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear. Find a hiding place.
Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys where cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain. Signal rescuers for help.
The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible — it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket (a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket — gold side facing out — on the ground. Do not walk away.
It will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it.
If you get frostbite (a condition caused by extreme cold, which makes your fingers and toes swell, become darker, and sometimes fall off), do not rewarm the affected area until you're out of danger.
You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

B. Try to find a car immediately.
C. Take a space blanket with you.
D. Walk as far as possible to find help.
听力原文:W: Good morning. Can I help you?
M: Yes, please. I'm a new student and I'd like to have some information about the accommodation. W: Right. The university provides two types of accommodation, halls of residence and self-catering accommodation.
M: How much does it cost for the self-catering accommodation?
W: For a single room, 37.86 pounds per week, that's about 5.41 a day. For a double room, it's 52 per week.
M: I'd like the self-catering accommodation. How far is that from the residence to the university? W: It all depends. The residence at 110 Palm Street is about one and a half miles and the Freemen's Common Houses at William Road are about half a mile.
M: When do I need to apply?
W: Are you an undergraduate or a postgraduate?
M: Undergraduate.
W: Then you should apply for it as soon as possible, since places in university-owned accommodation are limited and if you don't apply before the end of the month, you are not likely to get a place.
M: Could you possibly tell me what to do, if no vacancy is available?
W: Yes, you may consider private accommodation. The university runs an Accommodation Information Office and its staff will help you.
M: Where's the office?
W: In the Students' Union Building.
M: Whom can I contact?
W: Mr. Underwood. David Underwood, the manager of the Accommodation Information Office.
M: Thanks a lot.
W: My pleasure.
