21、or such things, so.Unit 1-Listening inPassage 1Voice-over Hi, Im Nick Carter, and this is SUR, your university radio station. This morning we went around campus to ask freshers -now half-way through their first year -the question, How are you finding uni? Here are some of the answers we got.Speake S
22、peaker 1 Its cool. Its everything I hoped it would be. Im very ambitious, I want to be a journalist and I want to get to the top of the profession.

I have a good social life but work definitely comes first for me.Passage 2Oxford and Cambridge - two universities so s
28、imilar that they are often spoken of together as Oxbridge. Theyre both in the UK, fairly near London, and both regularly come top in any ranking of the worlds best universities.The two universities began within a century of each other. Oxford University, now 900 years old, was founded towards the en
29、d of the 11th century. In 1209 there was a dispute between the university and the townspeople of Oxford. As a result, some of the Oxford teachers left and founded a university in the town of Cambridge, some 84 miles away. Ever since then, the two institutions have been very competitive.Unlike most m
30、odem universities, both Oxford and Cambridge consist of a large number of colleges. Oxford has 39 and Cambridge 31. Many of these colleges have old and very beautiful architecture, and large numbers of tourists visit them.In all UK universities, you need good grades in the national exams taken at 18
31、. But to get into Oxford and Cambridge, its not enough to get A grades in your exams. You also have to go for a long interview. In these interviews, students need to show that they are creative and capable of original thinking.Through the centuries, both universities have made huge contributions to
32、British cultural life. They have produced great writers, world leaders and politicians. Cambridge, in particular, has produced scientists whose discoveries and inventions have changed our lives.Among the great university institutions is the worlds most famous debating society, the Oxford Union, wher
33、e undergraduates get a chance to practise speaking in public. Cambridges comedy club Footlights has produced many first-class comedians, while some of the UKs most famous actors and actresses began their careers at The Oxford University Dramatic Society, known as OUDS. Then theres the Oxford and Cam
34、bridge Boat Race, which takes place every year in March or April, and is watched on television all over the UK.So with all this excellence in so many fields, its not surprising that the ambition of clever students all over the world is to attend either one of these great universities.Unit 2Conversat
35、ion 1Kate: Come in. Hey, Janet. Janet: Hi Kate, are you busy? Kate: Yes, Im just doing an essay. But its great to see you. So whats new? Janet: Well, nothing much. Kate: You look a bit fed up. Whats bugging you? Janet: Well, I had a phone call from my parents and it made me feel homesick. It happens
36、 every time they call, and it gets me down. Kate: Im sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I love speaking to my mum and dad, but I always feel miserable after the call. Janet: My dad doesnt say much, and I want to speak to him, but I wish I knew what to say. Kate: Dont let it get to you. My dad
37、doesnt say much on the phone either. I call, he answers the phone, and says, Hi, Ill pass you to your mother. Its really irritating. Janet: But I miss him and my mother a lot, and I like to hear his voice. Kate: Just tell him what youre up to. Janet: Sometimes I feel as if I made a mistake leaving h
38、ome and coming to Oxford. Sometimes I feel like a moody teenager. Kate: Try not to worry about it, Janet. Its normal to feel like that. I understand how you feel, but I bet everything will be fine next term. Youll get used to it. Hey, why dont you do what I do? Janet: Whats that? Kate: When my dad c
39、alls, I ask him for more money! He usually says no, but at least I get to hear his voice! Janet: Maybe. Im sorry to take up your time, Kate, but I must go now. Bye! Kate: Wait a minute .!Unit 2-Conversation 2 Kate: I think I may have upset Janet last night. Mark: What happened? Kate: She came to see
40、 me. I was busy doing an essay but I was really pleased to see her. Shed had a call from home, and said she was feeling homesick. Mark: Poor kid! It must be tough when you guys living so far away from home. Kate: I tried to make her laugh, told her not to worry about it, and that it was normal to fe
41、el miserable. Suddenly she looked miserable, and then she got up and said, I must go now and left my room. It was really sudden. I felt as if Id said something wrong. Mark: Maybe she was just being polite. It was probably because she realized you were working and didnt want to disturb you. Kate: I j
42、ust wonder if she found it difficult to talk about her feelings with me. Maybe I shouldnt have tried to make her laugh? Perhaps she thought I wasnt taking her seriously. Mark: I wouldnt worry about it. Put yourself in her shoes. How would you feel if you were a student at college in China? Kate: I k
43、now. Thats why I feel bad. If only she had stayed longer! I wish I could have helped her more. Janet: Hey, everyone! Mark: Hi Janet, you look cheerful! Janet: Yes, Ive just got my essay back. I got an alpha minus! Kate: What an amazing grade! Well done. Mark: Im really happy for you, Janet. Janet: I

45、 important. If you look at it, businesses will. Well, they will prefer employing people with great EQ. Well, of course, IQ cannot be disregarded, but um, EQ does have its importance as well. Uh, I believe that, um,. I mean, people, most people will have, um, their basic means of communicating with o
46、ther people. Most people are somewhat socially adept, and just like most people have, you know, a basic general knowledge. But then, what I think really is the difference between IQ and EQ, I mean, you can have a brainiac, and they will be great at most things they do, but if you just cant get along
