[09:22.76]you will have 5 seconds to read each of the questions which accompany it.
[09:28.95]After listening,you will have time to answer each question by choosing A,B,C or D.
[09:41.85]You will hear the recording ONLY ONCE.Mark your answer in your test booklet.
[09:52.35]Questions 11-13 are based on a conversation

[10:47.71]I need some hints on how to travel cheaply.
[10:52.09]W:Well,you've started out the right way.
[10:56.30]Staying in a youth hostel is one way to economize.

[11:14.51]It's illegal to hitchhike in many places,

[11:30.81]W:If you could spend some time camping out in one of national parks
[11:36.01]and eat at inexpensive restaurants,

[12:40.50]Questions 14-17 are based on a talk on Socrates.
[12:51.11]You now have 20 seconds to read the questions.
[13:13.99]Good morning,students.Let me start my lecture with a briefing about Socrates,
[13:24.70]the ancient Greek philosopher.
[13:27.89]He was a funny-looking man with a cheerful face.
[13:32.38]good-natured and a great talker.
[13:35.67]He was described by his student,the great philosopher Plato,
[13:41.86]as "the best and most just and wisest man."
[13:46.54]Yet,this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs.
[13:52.34]Socrates was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods
[13:59.21]and for corrupting young people.
[14:02.19]The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men
[14:09.16]who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.
[14:15.46]Socrates' method of teaching was to ask questions
[14:20.94]and by pretending not to know the answers,
[14:24.44]to press his students into thinking for themselves.
[14:28.83]His teaching had great influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy.
[14:36.02]Yet,for all his fame and influence.Socrates himself never wrote a word.
[14:43.83]Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young,
[14:49.91]and this was frightening to conservative Athenians.
[14:54.82]They wanted him silenced.
[14:57.93]Yet.many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.
[15:03.52]Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty,
[15:08.62]and he probably could have swayed enough of the slender majority
[15:13.42]which condemned him.
[15:16.11]Bul Socrates,as a firm believer in law,
[15:20.69]reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence.
[15:25.57]So,he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison
[15:31.68]in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.
[15:36.88]You now have one minute to answer questions 14-17.
[15:43.78]14.How did Plato describe Socrates?
[15:47.57](A)Funny-looking.(B)Talkative.(C)Very wise.(D)Humorous.
[15:53.08]15.What is the reason why Socrates was condemned to death?
[15:58.88](A)He refused to worship the Greek gods.
[16:02.77](B)He encouraged many young men to leave Athens.
[16:08.07](C)He taught young people to think for themselves.
[16:13.48](D)He became very famous.
[16:18.47]16.How did Socrates teach his students?
[16:23.48](A)He lectured them about free thinking.
[16:27.48](B)He gave humorous lectures.(C)He asked them questions.
[16:32.26](D)He encouraged them to ask him questions.
[16:37.54]17.Why didn't Socrates appeal against his death sentence?
[16:42.53](A)He knew that an appeal was useless.
[16:45.82](B)He was very old and ready to die anyway.
[16:49.63](C)He would rather die than submit to the false charges.
[16:52.72](D)He had always taught people to obey the Law.
[16:55.80]Questions 18-20 are based on the following conversation
[17:04.71]between an English train conductor and a Chinese student named Wang Hong.
[17:11.21]You have 15 seconds to read the questions.

[18:12.68]W:Oh.Good.The play doesn't begin until eight o'clock.
[18:17.77]That gives me plenty of time to check in at an inn
[18:23.07]and get a bite to eat at a local pub.Tell me,what'll we see on the trip?
[18:30.07]M:Well,you won't have time to visit Oxford,

[18:42.22]W:Oh,good,travelling by train is really convenient,
[18:47.73]inexpensive and I can enjoy the scenery.

[20:03.77]Questions 21-25 are based on the following talk on the origin of the hamburger.
[20:15.19]You now have 25 seconds to read the questions.
[20:43.38]Hello,boys and girls.Welcome to our McDonald's restaurant.
[20:52.47]Do you know how the hamburger came into being?
[20:56.96]Let me tell you the story while you enjoy the food.
[21:02.16]The original hamburger can be traced back to the Middle Ages,
[21:08.74]when Russians ate raw meat that cut into small pieces and formed into patties.
[21:15.82]This was the first step in a long series of developments
[21:21.52]that eventually resulted in hamburger as we know it today.
[21:27.31]German sailors picked up the raw meat delicacy
[21:33.30]in their contacts with Russians and brought it back to their home port of Hamburg.
[21:40.19]But the people there were not accustomed to eating raw meat,
[21:45.68]so they roasted the outside of the Russian steak;
[21:49.99]and so the hamburg steak was born.
[21:54.27]The hamburg steak was brought to America in the nineteenth century by German immigrants.
[22:02.58]Louis Lassen,a cook in New Haven,Connecticut,
[22:07.99]modified the hamburg steak by sandwiching it between two pieces of bread.
[22:14.78]But the true American hamburger came into existence in St.Louis,
[22:21.78]at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904.
[22:27.47]A harried cook at the fair quickly slapped broiled beef patties
[22:33.59]between buns and served them to a demanding crowd,
[22:38.39]which gulped them down joyously.
[22:42.29]At First this new food creation was made from scraps of poorer cuts of meat
[22:49.99]that were not used for anything else,but before long scraps were not enough,
[22:56.89]The demand for greater quantities of hamburger
[23:01.69]could only be met by using the whole cow.
[23:06.29]Hamburger stands sprang up all over the country,
[23:11.88]and a side industry of seasoning,such as ketchup and spices,
[23:17.79]grew up and prospered along with the popular hamburger.
[23:23.69]You now have one minute and 15 seconds to answer questions 21-25.
[23:33.38]21.Where did the idea for this type of food originate?
[23:37.59](A)in Connecticut,America.(B)In Louisana,America.
[23:41.69](C)In Hamburg Germany.(D)In Russia.
[23:44.88]22.What can we assume about the citizens of Hamburg?
[23:49.66](A)They liked only fresh raw meat.(B)They were slow in taking on new customs.
[23:53.97](C)They were very creative.(D)They found raw meat unappetizing.
[23:59.06]23.What contribution did the Germans make
[24:04.26]to the development of the hamburger?
[24:08.25](A)They were the first to form the meat into  patties.
[24:11.26](B)They were the first to roast the meat.
[24:14.76](C)They were the first to eat it with bread.
[24:19.67](D)They were the first to eat it with ketchup.
[24:22.86]24.Who brought the hamburger to America?
[24:25.47](A)Sailors.(B)Immigrants.(C)A famous cook.(D)Participants in a trade fair.

[24:37.35]why did a cook serve the beef patties between buns?
[24:39.97](A)It looked good.(B)It was the usual way of serving it.
[24:45.17](C)Participants asked him to do so.
[24:48.77](D)It could be prepared quickly.This is the end of Part B.
