As you listen to the discussion, complete the table showing the number of points 1, 2 or 3 awarded to the food offered by each Common Room. One has been done as an example. Listen carefully and answer questions 25 to 32.

Jenny: Perhaps we should write a student guide to eating and drinking on campus.
Alice: Brilliant, Jenny. We could use it as the basis (n. »ù´¡) for the survey we have to produce for our first term project. You know, we could compare prices, availability (n.¿ÉÌṩ£¬¹©Ó¦) of hot food or sandwich, and comment(v. ÆÀ¼Û) on the quality and value for money (ÐÔÄܼ۸ñ»¯)!
Jenny: O.K. Let's start with ourselves on the food as a sort of trial(n.³¢ÊÔ) run. We could award points. For instance, if the food is adequate, we could award one point; two points if it's of good quality; and three points if it's of good quality and we also think it's good value for money. For instance, if the portion is generous(adj. ¿¶¿®µÄ£¬´ó·½µÄ), and if it's not too expensive. Let's try it and see. You start, Alice. You are the one who knows about sandwiches.
Alice: Right. Here in the Euro Common Room, the sandwich is possible, maybe worth 1 point, no more than that. But in Arts "C", that well, they're better. Quite good really, but not particularly cheap. I don't know about sandwiches anywhere else.
Matthew: Well that's fine. That's a start .Jenny, have you any opinion about the food?
Jenny: Well, I agree with Alice about the sandwiches. The Arts "C" ones are better than the one you get here in Euro. Just 1 point for Euro .But they are quite expensive, so I'll give them 2 points. That's what you're suggesting, wasn't it, Alice?
Alice: That's right.ª¤
Matthew: I agree with what you said early about fish and chips(n. Õ¨ÊíƬ) in the Refectory. They are good, but certainly not cheap2 points from me for them.
Alice: Oh! Come on Matthew! It gets huge portions and not greasy(adj.ÓÍÄå)I think that deserves 3 points!
Jenny: I agree with Matthew.
Matthew: It doesn't matter. We can make a subjective questionnaire to get opinions, and provided we get enough students to fill them in to make them statistically(adv. ͳ¼ÆµØ£¬Í³¼ÆѧÓëµØ) valid, we can find out what the majority of students prefer. Everyone is allowed to give them their opinion. It's not a matter for argument.
Alice: O.K. Well. Then I give 3 points to the pizza in the American Studies Common Room. You wrote this down, Matthew?
Matthew: Yes, I think we should form our questionnaire as we have done ourselves. One hot dish (ÈȲË) from each eating place to gather opinions about, unless there are only sandwiches. Let's keep things fairly simple for the moment.ª¤
Jenny: I was thinking about the pizza. I thought it was quite expensive really. I wouldn't give it more than 2 points. I'm gonna have to dash. Could we meet up tonight to sort out our questionnaire to see whether the format(n. ¸ñʽ£¬¹æ¸ñ) is based on our views of work.
Matthew: That's fine by me. Let's say half past seven at our place? Is it O.K. by you, Alice?
Alice: No problem. Can you manage that, Jenny?
Jenny: Yes, that's fine. I'll see you late, bye.
Matthew: Great. Well, I think I'm going to enjoy this part of the consumer and society course.

6Section Four
Now turn to Section Four on Page 8.
Section Four. You will hear an extract from a BBC television program on acid rain .First you have some time to look at Questions 33 to 40.
(20 seconds)
Now listen to the first part of the discussion, and answer Questions 33 to 35. Tick the relevant boxes in each column.

Acid rain is a problem facing many countries at the moment, and a global(adj. È«ÇòµÄ) solution is required. One of the most concerning elements of the problem is that it disturbs the natural balance (×ÔȻƽºâ) of lakes and rivers, poisoning fish and wild lives, and it even corrodes metal and stone work. In parts of Scandinavia(n. ˹¿°µÚÄÉάÑǹú¼Ò), thousands of lakes are so polluted that it can no longer sustain(v. ά³Ö£¬³ÐÊÜ) fish life. Acid rain isn't entirely a new phenomenon. It in facts started around the time of industry revolution of the 19th century, but it's getting worse. Britain contributes to the pollution problems in Denmark, Holland, Sweden, and Germany, and at present, we produce as much sulphur dioxide (n.¶þÑõ»¯Áò) in the U.K. as France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands all put together. Most of this pollution is caused by power stations (·¢µç³§), which have emerged as the result of Britain rich coal deposit(n.¿ó²Ø£¬¿ó²ú)But France, on the other hand, derives three quarters of its electricity from nuclear power.
But there are things we can do to help the situation by reducing the amount of chemical pollutant we release into the atmosphere. And in Japan, Germany, and United States, power stations use a lime(n.ʯ»Òʯ) filtering process, which removes around 90 percent of the sulphur emission(n.ÊÍ·Å£¬ÅÅû)

Now answer Questions 36 to 40.Write no more than Three words for each answer.ª«ª¥
At Lock Fleets in Galloway in the south Scotland, a similar experiment is being conducted by British Coal and a number of other electricity boards. Fish stocks here began to decline in 1950s, and within 20 years, there was no brown trout left. By injecting lime into the land around the water and neutralizing(v.ÖкÍ) the effects of acid, scientists have created conditions in which fish can survive. This is maybe one solution. But we need to consider how to control sulphur emissions. While, one way, of course, is to scrub(v. ³ýÈ¥£¬È¥µô) out the sulphur dioxide by means of lime stone slurry. Very effective, 90 percent in fact. But it does have the disadvantage of being expensive, which will put up the cost of electricity 10 to 15 percent, which may cause difficulties for British industry. And it has its own environmental problems because the limestone has to be dug out of the ground often in very attractive parts of the country transported to the power station. And we have eventually a large waste disposal problem. Alternatively, you can use imported low sulphur coal. We might increase the amount of natural gas we burn, or even increase the size of the nuclear power program. But there are environmental objections by many people to nuclear power.

Listening Test 2
The question booklet for this test is at the end of the Listening section. You may photocopy this booklet. In Section I you will hear two people talking about the towns where they grew up. First, you will have some time to look at questions 1 to 9.
20 seconds
You will see that there is an example which has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.ª¤
Maureen£ºTime goes so quickly-I can't believe that I will have been here for five years on Saturday.
Gordon£ºThat's a long time. Where did you live before that?ª¤
Maureen£ºI lived in a small town, about 150 miles from Perth, on the southwest coast of Australia, called Albany.ª¤
Gordon£ºWhen you say 'small', how small do you mean?ª¤
Maureen£ºOh around 12 000 people.ª¤
Gordon£ºWhat is it like growing up somewhere that small?

Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. First, you have another chance to look at questions 1 to 3.ª¥

Maureen£ºTime goes so quickly-I can't believe that I will have been here for five years on Saturday.
Gordon£ºThat's a long time. Where did you live before that?
Maureen£ºI lived in a small town, about 150 miles from Perth, on the southwest coast of Australia, called Albany.ª¤
Gordon£ºWhen you say 'small', how small do you mean?
Maureen£ºOh around 12 000 people.ª¤
Gordon£ºWhat is it like growing up somewhere that small?
Maureen£ºWell, it has its advantages. People tend to be much more friendly in small towns. You seem to get to know more people. The pace of life is much slower. Everyone seems to have more time to talk, and generally the life style is much more relaxed. On the other hand, small-town life can be pretty boring. Obviously, you haven't got the same range of entertainments available as in the city, and unless you want to go into farming you have to move elsewhere to look for a job.ª¤
Gordon£ºSo farming is the main industry then?
Maureen£ºWell, actually, no. There is a lot of sheep and cattle farming and more recently a lot of people have started to grow potatoes. However, the town was first established as a whaling base and although there isn't any whaling today, most people are still employed by the fishing industry.ª¤
Gordon£ºWhat's the weather like?
Maureen£ºIn summer you get some fairly nice days, but it gets very windy. In winter, I guess the average temperature is about 15 degrees Celsius, and it gets really windy and it's very, very wet.ª¤
Gordon£ºSounds lovely, I can see why you are here.ª¤
Maureen£ºOh come on, it's not all that bad. It's got a beautiful coastline, and beautiful beaches. You can drive for about 45 minutes and you will come to absolutely deserted white beaches. You can be the only person swimming there.ª¤
Gordon£ºWith that wind, I'm not surprised!
Maureen£ºDon't be like that, we do get some good days. Anyway, where do you come from?
Maureen goes on to ask Gordon about his home town.
Look at questions 4 to 9.ª¥
20 seconds
Write the answers to questions 4 to 9
Gordon£ºI come from a town called Watford, about 17 miles from the centre of London. Maureen£ºIs it a big town?ª¤
Gordon£ºNot really, It has a population of around 80,000-90,000 but the whole area is built up so it is hard to say where Watford finishes and the other towns begin. Maureen£ºDid you enjoy living there?ª¤
Gordon£ºWell, being so close to London has advantages. You get the latest films and music. There is always something going on and there is such a wide variety of different people and cultures that it is difficult to get bored. Of course all this has its downside-the cost of living is so expensive and most people can't really afford to go out very often. So although the entertainment is available you've really got to have a lot of money to enjoy it. Another problem is like most big cities there is a lot of crime and there are areas of London that are very dangerous.ª¤
Maureen£ºWhat are the main industries in Watford?
Gordon£ºWell, of course a lot of people commute into London but there is also a lot of local industry. Before desktop publishing, Watford used to be the centre of the printing industry in Britain. Also, there used to be a big factory manufacturing helicopter engines but that closed down about two years ago. Nowadays, I suppose the biggest industries are electronics and light engineering.
Maureen£ºI suppose that it gets a lot of snow being in England?
Gordon£ºNot really. It usually snows once a year and it rarely lasts for more than two or three days. The weather is mainly cold and wet. Sometimes you get a light rain that lasts for weeks.
Maureen£ºIt's a bit like Albany there. Is there anything you particularly miss about living there?
Gordon£ºNear my parents' house there is a large park. Must be about 10 square miles in size and it has a canal and a river running through the middle of it. Some good walks, you can go fishing and there are good sports facilities. Sometimes I miss that.ª¤
Maureen£ºWould you like to go back?
Gordon£ºI don't know, I'm quite happy here at the moment. I like the weather. It's great to get up in the morning and know that it is going to be sunny. What about you?ª¤
Maureen£ºProbably, but not for a long time yet. At the moment I enjoy the excitement of the city. My work and most of my friends are here and it is nice to know that there are so many facilities available. However, I think that Albany might be a good place to retire. It's safe and it's easy to make friends there.ª¤
Gordon£ºYeah I'm going to be here for a while too. I have just signed a new contract for my job which means that I'll be living here for at least another five years.

Good Afternoon, I'd just like to make a few announcements before the first performances begin at this year's Hetherington Art and Music Festival.ª¥
Firstly, a short guide to some of the more important places on the site. There are three stages. Stage 1 is the main stage and is where I am speaking from now.
Stages 2 and 3 are opposite each other to the left and right of the main stage. The first aid post is located directly behind me and to the northeast of the main stage. The organiser's office is next to the rear entrance and this is where lost children can be reunited with their parents. In front of this office you will find ten public telephones. These telephones can only be used to telephone out; they will not receive incoming calls. Toilets are to be found in all four corners of the stadium site. If you lose anything you should make a report at the security post next to stage 2. Remember to visit the souvenir stalls in the car park in front of the main entrance to the stadium.ª¥
If you want to leave the stadium for any reason, please remember to keep your ticket with you, as you will not be readmitted without it. While on this subject, to make exit and re-entry simpler, could everyone leaving the site use the main entrance at the other side of the car park leading to Gladstone Road. This is to allow performers easy access to the site through the rear gate behind the main stage. Most importantly, when leaving the area of the stadium try to keep as quiet as possible so as not to disturb our neighbours. We have already been warned that we will not be given permission to hold the festival next year if there are complaints from local residents.ª¥

Questions 10-12

Answer questions 15 to 19 to complete the table.ª¤
Now that I've got the official announcements out of the way, I'd like to tell you about tonight's program. The Brazilian Drum Band will be appearing on stage 3 at 7.00. This is the first time that they have performed outside South America, so their show is not to be missed. This will be followed by Claude and Jacques, the French mime artists, at around 8.00. During the performance Claude and Jacques will be introducing special guests from the fields of music and dance.

Meanwhile, on stage 2, there is a modern ballet from Great Grapefruit Incorporated, illustrating women's role in world peace. This will begin at 7.00 and last for roughly 2 hours. Stage 1 begins at 9.00 with the jazz fusion band, Crossed Wires, whose performance tonight is the last date on their world tour. Stage 1 continues with a regular guest at these festivals, comedian Tom Cobble. His show begins at 10.30.ª¥
After Claude and Jacques at 9.00 on stage 3, there will be a performance by the Flying Barito Brothers who are acrobats with the Albanian State Circus. The Flying Barito Brothers' fire-eating trapeze act is unique. No other performer has managed to equal their grand finale. From 11.15 we are happy to present Winston Smiles and the Kingston Beat who will be playing authentic Jamaican reggae until the end of the official program at 1.30.ª¥
Over on stage 2, the Great Mysteron will be presenting his show of magic illusion and mystery at 9.30 During the show he will be chained and thrown into a sealed aquarium from which he will try to escape. If everything goes to plan the act will finish at 11.30 and the stage will be ready for the country and western music of Blue Grass Ben and the Cattlemen at 12.00. This act will be the last on stage 2 tonight.ª¥
After Tom Cobble on stage 1, we have tonight's main attraction The Proffets, who will be performing in public tonight for the first time since they broke up 5 years ago. The news is that they are back and they will be presenting a show including both old favourites and songs from their new album, which is to be released in September. They are expected on stage at midnight. After the official program has ended there will be a number of side shows taking place around the site.ª¤ª¤
