Note-taking and gap-filling,Tips: 1. The passages c

20、hosen are normally very logical, so please pay attention to listening comprehension and the logics (eg. Firstly , secondly There are following areas, following reasons). Just use note-taking as a supporting tool. 2. What you take down should be some essential words relevant to the whole passage, rat

21、her than auxiliary words. Youd better focus on “what , when , where, who, why and how”,3. Pay attention to those nouns , verbs and adj. which are stressed in reading 4. Use abbreviations More practice in daily time. Listen to a passage and take notes and write an abstract with the help of the notes.

22、 This exercise does help a lot !,Passage One,A problem related to the competition for land use is whether crops should be used to produce food or fuel. 1 _areas will be examined in this respect. Firstly, the problem should be viewed in its _ perspective. When oil prices rose (2) _ sharply in the 197

23、0s, countries had to look for alternatives to so1ve the resulting crisis.,In developing countries, one of the possible answers to it is to produce alcohol from 3_ material. This has led to a lot of research in this area particularly in the use of 4 _ The use of this material resulted from two econom

24、ic reasons : a 5 _ in its price and low 6_ costs. There are other starchy plants that can be used to produce alcohol, like the sweet 7 _ or the cassava plant in tropical regions, and 8 and sugar beet in non-tropical regions. The problem with these plants is that they are also the peop1es staple food

25、 in many poor countries .,Therefore, farmers there are faced with a choice: crops for food or for fuel. And farmers naturally go for what is more 9 _ As a result, the problems involved are economic in nature rather than technological. This is my second area under consideration. Finally, there have a

26、lready been practical applications of using alcohol for fuel. Basically, they come in two forms of use: pure alcohol as is the case in 10 _, and a combination of alcohol and gasoline known as gasohol in Germany.,KEYS,1 .three /3 2. Historical 3.

That is, that is, whether crops should be used to produce food, or to, should be used to produ

28、ce fuel. And um in considering this problem I wi1l look at three main areas. The historical background to the problem, the nature of the problems involved in, in the competition for land use, and some examples.,In considering the historical background, um, we should look at the oil crisis of the 197

29、0s Um due to the rapidly increase in, in, or the rapid, due to the rapid trend in increasing oil prices leading to an energy crisis, many countries have looked for alternative, energy sources to make them independent of other countries, fossil fuels. Examples of alternati, alternative energy sources

30、 include such things as solar power, the harnessing of wind, and wi, the wind and waves, tides, and also the production of biogas. Biogas is methane which is produced from human and animal waste.,A particularly interesting possibi1ity for many developing countries has been the conversion of plant ma

31、terial to alcohol. This, this is interesting because in many developing countries there is a large agricultural sector, and at the same time a small industrial sector, and thus the, the possibility of us1ng the agricultural sector to, to produce fuel , um, is of interest to those countries.,Scientif

32、ic research is going on in the production of alcohol , for example, from sugar. And there are two, um, two economic reasons for this. First of all the world price of sugar has fallen dramatically, or the world price of sugar has fallen in very real terms in the last decade, which, this has caused a

33、problem for those economies which are dependent on their sugar production as it gives them an alternative, er, possibility for using their sugar. And secondly, sugar is the most efficient source of alcohol. Therefore it is relatively economical to make fuel by distilling alcohol from it.,In addition

34、 to sugar there are other starchy plants that can be used to make alcohol. For example in tropical countries, such plants as the cassava p1ant and the sweet potato are good sources from which alcohol can be made, and in, in non-tropical countries you have such things as corn and sugar beet.,Now ther

35、e is a problem arising from the fact that alcohol can be distilled from starchy plants, and that is, that many poor countries use precisely these starchy plants, or these starch-rich crops, er, for their food as a staple diet. So in, in many such countries there, there; a conf1ict if you like, betwe

36、en the choice of whether to produce these crops for fuel, or to to produce these crops, er, for, for food and for their use as their staple diet.,It is in fact an economic problem rather than a technical problem as the poor farmers will tend to choose that which is most profitable. Indeed it is an e

37、conomic problem, not, not necessarily a technological problem. The technology for the con-version of alcohol from starchy plants has been in existence for over 40 years. And there are two ways of um using a1cohoI as car fuel. One such way um, is in the form of pure alcohol. An example of this is in

38、Brazil in a project called the Pro-Alcohol Project, and in Brazil cars are being produced to run on pure alcohol. A second use of alcohol as a car fuel is in a mixture with petrol , or with gasoline. In a mixture with gasoline this produces a mixture,called gasohol,. In Germany for example, they hav

39、e an experiment in which there, theres such a mixture of 85 per cent petrol , or 85 per cent gas, 85 per cent gasoline and 15 per cent methanol. So if technology and the conversion of engines are not a prob1em, then rea1ly it is a question of economics, and there are three main factors which would a

40、ffect the production .,Passage Two:,At present companies and industries like to sponsor sports events. Two reasons are put forward to explain this phenomenon. The first reason is that they got (1)_ throughout the world. The second reason is that companies and industries (2)_money, as they get reduct

41、ions in the tax they owe if they sponsor sports or arts activities.,As sponsorship is (3)_, careful thinking is required in deciding which events to sponsor. It is important that the event to be sponsored (4)_the product(s) to be promoted. That is, the right (5)_ and maximum product coverage must be

42、 guaranteed in the event. Points to be considered in sports sponsorship.,As sponsorship is (3)_, careful thinking is required in deciding which events to sponsor. It is important that the event to be sponsored (4)_the product(s) to be promoted. That is, the right (5)_ and maximum product coverage mu

43、st be guaranteed in the event. Points to be considered in sports sponsorship.,International sports events are big (6) _ events, which get extensive coverage on TV and in the press. Smaller events attract fewer people. Identification of the potential audience Aiming at the right audience is most impo

44、rtant for smaller events. The right audience would attract manufacturers of other related products like (7)_, etc.,Advantages of sponsorship Advantages are longer-term. People are expected to respond (8)_to the products promoted and be more likely to buy them. Advertising is (9)_the mind. Sponsorshi

45、p is better than straight advertising: a ) less (10)_ b) tax-free .,KEYS,1. Known 2. Save 3. Costly/expensive 4. Match 5.image 6.media 7. Cosmetics/drinks 8. Favourably 9.

46、r example, many companies sponsored the 8th National Games held in Shanghai in 1997. Then, what exactly do companies and industries get out of spon-soring big sports events, such as international games? And why do they do so? There is an obvious answer and a not so obvious one. The obvious answer 1s

47、 that they get known worldwide, particularly if they are the principal sponsor of an event.,This is especially important when you consider the number of countries around the world that might show the event on TV. The not so obvious answer is that sponsor-ship can help firms to save money. Then how c

48、an they save money in this way? Companies can claim expenditures on sponsorship or support to sport and the arts, against the amount of tax that they owe. So, if they are going to have to pay tax anyway, why not spend the money on promoting their name or product?,However, sponsorship is surely a very expensive business. So, how does one decide which events or activities to support? Companies spend a lot of time making sure that they have a perfect match between the products to be represented and the activity that needs sponsors
