19、ond time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or does not live up to the manufacturers (26) _for it,
20、 the first step is to present the guarantee at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will (27) _results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store mana

In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, (29) _ he or she has a just claim. Consumers should complain in (30) _ whenever possible, but if they cannot get to t

If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by
23、(34) _ specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer.

24、 the desired result, the consumer can go a step further.

25、 passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.

26、ach item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage. Wise buying is a positive way in which you can make your money go further. The way you go about purchasing an article
27、or a service can actually _36_ you money or can add to the cost. Take the _37_ example of a hairdryer. If you are buying a hairdryer, you might think that you are making the _38_ buy if you choose one whose look you like and which is also the cheapest _39_ price. But when you get it home you may fin
28、d that it takes twice as long as a more expensive _40_ to dry your hair. The cost of the electricity plus the cost of your time could well make your hairdryer the most expensive one of all.So what principles should you _41_ when you go out shopping? If you keep your home, your car or any valuable _4
29、2_ in excellent condition, youll be saving money in the long run. Before you buy a new _43_, talk to someone who owns one.

Each st
31、atement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.A Grassroots Remedy
32、A) Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular leisure activity in B
33、ritain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they dont run the streets. Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.47B) But despite this, our c
34、hildren are growing up nature-deprived (丧失) , I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Stratham Common, south London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that
35、is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.(50)C) The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the U.S. families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （多动症） .Those whose accommodation had more na
36、tural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%. (52)D) (46)A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than childr
37、en used only to a normal playground. A U.S. study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.E) Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarc
38、hy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.F) Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a ta
39、rmac (柏油碎石) playground; (53)the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunny hill School in Stratham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasizing about wildlife. The children are frequently discour
40、aged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.G) One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, n
41、ow increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.(48)H) The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature.(49
42、) The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.I) In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natura
43、l surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behavior are reduced when there is contact with the natural world. Dr. William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behav
44、ior because its restorative process helps reduce anger and impulsive behavior.” (51)Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.J) We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favor that human beings are granting to the natural world. The error here
45、 is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separable things is profoundly damaging. (55)Human beings are a species of mammals (哺乳动物) . For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral sel
46、ves miss the natural world and long for contact with nonhuman life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stoked a cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that. We need the wild world. It is essential to our
47、 well-being, our health, our happiness. Without the wild world we are not more but less civilized. Without other living things around us we are less than human.K) (54)Five Ways to Find Harmony with the Natural World Walk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof. Get off a stop earlier, ma
48、ke a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog, feel yourself moving in moving air, look, listen, absorb.Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be still in an open space. In the garden, anywhere thats not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the routine. Sit under a tree, look at water, feel refreshed, ever so slightly renewed.Drink: The best way to enjoy the natu
