Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your listening ability. It consists of 4 sections.

The questions will be spoken two times. When you hear a question, you should decide on the correct answer from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D given in your test paper. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
[解析] 题目用“Are you...?”开头,询问“你打算买房吗?”这种一般疑问句常用yes或no先作简短回答,再用相应助动词或be动词代替原句的谓语。故A项Yes,I am(是的)符合问题要求。 B项Yes, I do(是的)一般用来回答“Do you...?”之类的一般疑问句。C项I'm sorry(对不起)表示歉意。D项It's my pleasure(是我的荣幸)一般用于回答表示感谢的客套用语。
7.
A.Please do.
B.Not yet.
C.Yes, I know.
D.Most of the time.

[解析] 题目是一般疑问句,用“Have you read...?”提问,意思是“你看了今天的报纸吗?”肯定回答为“Yes, I have”;否定回答是“No, I haven't或“No, not yet”。所以B项Not yet(还没有)是正确答案。 A项Please do(请做吧!)一般用来回答“May/Can I...?”这类表示请求的问题。C项Yes, I know(是的,我知道)和D项Most of the time(大部分时间)与问题不相干。

Task 5 Directions: After reading it, you are required to complete the answers that follow the questions (No. 1 to No. 5). You should write your answers (in no more than 3 words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly. Underground tickets are available at all underground stations. Ticket prices for the underground vary according to the distance you travel. The network is divided into five zones, a central zone and four outer zones. Generally, the more zones you travel through, the higher your fare will be. You must buy your ticket before you start your journey, from a ticket office or machine. Keep your ticket for inspection and collection at your destination. The easiest and most economical way to travel around London is with a travel card. This gives you the freedom of London's trains, tubes, and buses in whichever zones you choose. It's perfect for the visitors because one ticket combines travel on the trains of Network Southeast with the underground, Dockland Light railway and most of London buses. It's more convenient than buying separate tickets for each journey. Travel cards are available from any train or tube station. Travel card season tickets include seven-day, monthly and annual tickets. This is the modem, convenient and flexible ticket for your journey. For travel card season tickets, please bring a passport-size photograph with you.

5. What should you take if you want to have a travel card season ticket? You should take a ______ with you.
