Listening test is one of the most important parts of the English exam. Here are some tips (建议) for you.
Before you start to listen, you need to relax. Don’t be stressed out. And try to read the questions. These questions usually help you understand the conversation or the passage.
Then listen carefully to the first sentence. It usually tells you the main idea of the passage. When you’re listening, try to do some thinking and take some notes (笔记), such as:
·What happened (发生)?
·When, where, and how?
·What does the speaker want to tell us?
In this way, you may understand the passage better.
Please remember not to think about one or two words for a long time. When you hear some words you don’t know, don’t spend too much time on them. Very often, you’ll find out what they mean later when you go on with the listening.

Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to schools, shops and anywhere else. Therefore(因此), China is known as “the kingdom of bicycles”. In China, many families have one or two bicycles.
Compared(与……比) with cars, bicycles have many advantages. First, they are much cheaper than cars. Most Chinese can’t afford cars, but they can afford bicycles. Second, bicycles are small enough to park anywhere, while cars need a larger piece of land to park. What’s more, with lower speed, bicycles are safer than cars.
However, bicycles also bring some problems. Some riders don’t obey the traffic rules and some riders don’t think about others’ safety. So they ride too fast. During rush hours, too many bicycles may cause traffic jams. We still have a long way to go to solve the problem.

People with disabilities make up a large part of the population. It is reported that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental", that is to say, they happen before people’s twenty-second birthday, often from born conditions, and are hard enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as movement, communication, occupation, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious" (偶然的), i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.
Before the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Improvements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic (基本的) needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unluckily, these basics are often not available. Human rights such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and achieve work have traditionally been not agreed on the basis of disability.
In recent ten years, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these disagreements of human rights. Congress(国会) replied by passing important laws recognizing(承认) people with disabilities as a protected group under human rights laws.
It is reported that more than half of qualified(有资格的) Americans with disabilities don’t have work, and a lot of those who do work are out of work. About two-thirds live at or below the official lowest level.
Obvious difficulties, especially in communication and public awareness(意识), prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer stopped by law from marrying, a person unable to communicate is excluded(排斥) from society and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.
Only when public attitudes(态度) advance as far as laws have, disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.
【小题1】. A “developmental" disability ______.
| A．is caused by forces |
| B．happens in youth and affects development |
| C．develops very slowly over time |
| D．is getting harder and harder |
【小题2】Most disabled people used to die early because ______.
| A．they were not very well looked after |
| B．disabilities destroyed body functions terribly |
| C．they were too poor to get right treatment |
| D．medical treatment were not available |
【小题3】 The sentence “Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives freely.” should be placed at the beginning of Paragraph _________.
【小题4】Which of the following cannot be inferred（推断）from the passage ?
| A．The public tend to(倾向) look down on the disabled people. |
| B．Many disabled people may remain single(保持单身) for their whole life. |
| C．The disabled people feel inferior(不及) to those common people. |
| D．Discriminatory(歧视性) laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others. |
【小题5】 The best title for this passage might be ______.
| A．The Causes for Disabilities |
| B．Medical Treatments for Disabilities |
| C．The physical difficulties of the Disabled |
| D．Disadvantages of People with Disabilities |
