Band Four 183
Key to Model Test (3) Band Four
Part I. Writing
Sample Writing:
When asked about the relation between love and study on campus, different people
will offer different opinions. Some people take it for granted that college students
should not fall in love with each other in order to waste their precious time. In their
opinion, love is time-consuming and will distract one’s attention from learning. Besides,
they think that if a student falls in love, he will certainly fall behind in his study.
However, others hold that love on campus may encourage students to study harder.
They maintain that a true love will never stand aside while another falls behind in his
or her study. And most love stories on campus are developed on the basis of mutual help
in study.
Weighing up these two arguments, I am for the second one. For one thing, mutual
help in life is certainly a strong support in study. For another, true lovers usually help
each other both in life and study. Therefore, if guided properly, love will be helpful to
the study.

Part III. Listening Comprehension
Scripts:
Section A: Understanding Conversations
Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end
of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the
conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will
be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and
decide which is the best answer. Then write the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Short Conversations.
11. M: Aren’t we supposed to have a math test this afternoon?
W: It’s postponed because the teacher has to attend a conference.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
12. M: Did you tell White about the meeting?
W: Whatever I say to him goes in one ear and out the other.
Q: What does the woman mean?
13. W: I wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear about your father.
M: Thanks. I really miss him.
Q: What probably happened to the man’s father?
14. M: You look absolutely exhausted!
W: I know. How do you manage to look so fresh and energetic after ten hours of work?
Q: How does the man look?
15. W: Let’s see. I have printed my family name, middle name, first name, birthdate and address.
Anything else?
M: No, that’s fine. We’ll fill in the rest if you’ll just sign at the bottom.
Q: What has the woman been doing?
16. W: I’m worried that man may soon run out of oil.
M: By then we will surely have cheap energy substitutes like power from the sun, the
wind or the waves.
Q: Why does the man mention other sources of energy?
17. M: Do you like your new room you’ve just moved into?
W: It’s nice to have enough space for all my things, so I’m glad I moved. But I miss my
friends and my neighbours.
Q: How is the woman’s new room compared with her old one?
18. M: I can’t find Turking Park on the map.
W: Why don’t you ask someone where it is?
Q: What does the woman mean?
Now you will hear two long conversations.
188 Model Test 3
Conversation One
W: Have you ever been to Japan? I’m going there in autumn.
M: Yes, I went there last year.
W: Really? Please tell me something about it.
M: Of course. It was terrific.
W: Where did you go then?
M: I went to Tokyo and Kyoto. I only had a little more than a week there.
W: What do you think of Tokyo?
M: Tokyo is an exciting place, but not very beautiful. All the buildings are almost the
same, and they are gray and ugly, and the city is very heavily populated, the streets
are full of people.
W: Is that so? Then what about Kyoto? The same thing?
M: That’s a fascinating place. It’s better than Tokyo, though a bit smaller, and it’s not
as crowded. Generally speaking, it’s just more interesting.
W: Why? Anything to see there?
M: Yeah, there are a lot of beautiful old temples, some really lovely gardens, and it’s
also got an old imperial palace.
W: It sounds fascinating. By the way, I want to buy a Japanese-made camera. Would
you recommend a good place for me to go shopping?
M: Tokyo, I guess. There are more shops there and you’ll have a bigger choice. Mind
you, it may be more expensive to shop there.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. How does the man think about Tokyo?
20. How does the man compare Kyoto with Tokyo?

Conversation Two
W: Excuse me. I’m a student of this school during the day. I’m writing a report for the
school newspaper. It’s about the evening school. May I ask you some questions?
M: Yes, of course. But I only have about ten minutes before my classes begin.
W: Thank you. Well, where are you from? And when did you come to this country?
M: I’m from China. I came here two years ago.
W: Did you know any English before you arrive in England?
M: Yes, I did. I learned English in middle school.
W: How are you getting on with your English now?
M: My reading, writing and grammar are all right, but I have some trouble talking to
English people here. It seems that they don’t like to talk to people like me.
W: I’m sorry. I know some English people don’t try to understand foreigners. That’s
too bad. Uh… Well, do you have a job?
M: Yes, I do. I work in a restaurant.
W: Where do you live?
M: I’m living with my uncle here, and my brother is coming to join us soon.
Band Four 189

24. What did the man think about his English?
25. What was the man going to do after the conversation?
Section B: Understanding Passages
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear
some questions. Both the passages 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. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet 2.
Passage One
Before 1883, most cities in the United States had their own time. They set their
time by the sun. This made many problems for the railroad companies whose trains had
to follow more than 300 different timetables.
In 1883, William Allen made a plan to divide the United States into four different
parts called time zones. This made things easier for the railroad companies. Now
every city in the same time zone has the same time. These four time zones are the Pacific
Standard Time (PST), the Mountain Standard Time (MST), the Central Standard
Time (CST), and the Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Today most parts of the United States have daylight savings time for five months
of the year. People want to have more daylight hours after work. To do this, people turn
their clocks forward one hour before they go to bed on the last Sunday in April. They
turn them back one hour before they go to bed on the last Sunday in October.
We can’t really save an hour of daylight to use when we need it. We can change
only what the clock says. Before we changed the clock for daylight saving time, it was
dark in the evening at seven o’clock. With daylight saving time, it is daylight at seven
in the evening, but dark at eight o’clock. Of course the number of daylight hours is the
same.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What do we learn about the time in the United States before 1883?
27. What happened in 1883?
28. To save day light, when do the Americans turn their clocks forward one hour?
Passage Two
To get a driver’s license, you must take three tests. The first test is a vision test.
This test checks your eyes to see if you have to wear glasses when you drive. The second
190 Model Test 3
test is a written test that checks your knowledge of highway and traffic regulations. You
can prepare for this test by studying a booklet that you can get at the driver’s license
office. After you pass the written test, you receive an instruction permit. This permit allows
you to practice driving with an experienced driver. The last test you have to take is
a road test. This checks your driving ability. If you pass it, you will receive your driver’s
license.
When you go to the driver’s license office to take the road test, you must provide
your own vehicle. First, the license examiner checks the mechanical condition of your
car. Then the examiner gets into the car with you and asks you to drive in regular traffic.
While you are driving, the examiner tests you for such things as starting, stopping, turning,
backing, and parking. If you can’t control the car properly, or if you violate a traffic
regulation while you are taking the test, you fail the examination. You will have to practice
driving more until you take the road test again and pass it.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What does the third test check?
30. What does the instruction permit allow you to do?
31. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about the
road test?
Passage Three
Tornadoes, which are extremely destructive windstorms, occur often during the
spring and summer. These storms have spinning winds that blow at 300 miles an hour
or more. They develop when masses of hot air and cold air come together, and they are
usually accompanied by severe thunderstorms. Tornadoes destroy almost everything
that they hit. One of the worst tornadoes in history occurred in the spring of 1928. This
tornado, which traveled through parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana of the United
States, killed almost 700 people.
A hurricane, or typhoon, is a severe storm that develops over the ocean in tropical
areas. It has two parts: an eye or calm area in the center of the storm, and wall clouds.
The wall clouds, which surround the eye and may have a diameter of more than 100
miles, have winds that blow at seventy-five miles per hour or more and contain large
amounts of moisture. When a hurricane moves over land, it can cause extensive wind
damage and flooding as well as loss of human life.
Whenever severe weather threatens, you should listen to a radio or watch television
for storm information. If a tornado warning is issued, you should take cover immediately.
The best place to go is a basement. If you cannot reach a basement quickly, you
should get away from windows and lie down on the floor in a small room if you are in
a house or an apartment. If you are driving in a car when a tornado comes, you should
stop, get out of the car, and lie down in a ditch along the side of the road.
Band Four 191
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about tornado?
33. Where did the tornado travel in the spring of 1928?
34. What damage can a hurricane cause?
35. What should you do when a tornado comes?
Section C: Compound Dictation
Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first
time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second
time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact
words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in
the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just
heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read
for the third time, you should check what you have written.
Toys are (36) vital to your child’s development. Someone said that if you gave footballs
to 100 girls and dolls to 100 boys, within an hour the boys would be kicking the
dolls around and the girls would be (37) nursing the footballs.
Research shows that the toy itself (38) guides play. It’s generally true that boys are
more (39) active than girls, while girls are more (40) nurturing in their play. But the toy
itself makes (41) demands — footballs invite kicking and dolls (42) practically beg to be
cuddled. It’s true that “boys will be boys”, but it’s also true that dolls will be dolls and
footballs will be footballs!
Although boys and girls play differently they are (43) alike in basic ways. (44) In
fact, many of the differences are learned, especially from parents. Most children like
a variety of playthings — puzzles, wind-up animals, modelling clay, books and board
games. (45) From around two to three years of age boys and girls begin to differ in their
choices of some toys. Boys select male super-hero dolls and vehicles, girls preferring
baby dolls and toy household objects.
Why are those gender choices made? Apart from simply copying adults around
them, children hope to win approval (or avoid disapproval) from their playmates, encouraging
them to join them in their play. (46) They also want praise from their parents
for good behaviour.__
