M: What makes you a history teacher, Kate?

W: Well ... My father tried to inspire me with his interest in history when I was young. He thought history exciting and interesting. But I felt quite the opposite then. Things changed when I met a new woman history teacher in junior high school.

M: What made her so special?

W: She forced us to act out important events in history. Quite by chance, I dreamed of becoming a director then. When directing other classmates to perform those history stories, I suddenly realized how interesting history was and how inspiring it was to be a teacher.

M: What a pity we weren't in the same class. Otherwise, I could have become a history teacher instead of travelling around the world selling computers.

W: Hello. I'm calling about the apartment you advertised.

M: We have different types of apartments: studio, single room, one-bedroom, Junior 4. What kind of apartment are you interested in?

W: I don't quite understand.

M: Well, a studio apartment is a space with one room and a bathroom. The single room is a space with a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom all in one. If you don't need tons of space, it's a good choice. A one-bedroom apartment usually has three distinct rooms: a living room, a separate kitchen, and a bedroom. Junior 4 is somewhere between a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom apartment.

W: I'm interested in a one-bedroom apartment. Do you have any available?

M: Yes. I have one. The monthly rent is ＄650. You pay for electricity and water only. Gas is included, both the heat and stove. Besides, you'll get a sheltered parking space at no extra charge. By the way, if you pay yearly, ＄7,200 a year.

W: Sounds good. May I come over tomorrow to take a look?

M: Sure.

M: Well, let me ask you a few questions. What are you looking for in a job?

W: You know I have learned a lot of finance theories at school, and now it is time for me to put them into practice. I also hope that it will help me grow in my field.

听下面一段独白，回答第18至第20三个小题。现在你有15秒钟的时间阅读这三个小题。

Socotra Island is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled islands in the world. The island is well known for its dragon blood trees and its breathtaking landscapes, making it one of the most beautiful UNESCO world heritage sites in the world.October to May is the best season to visit it, but the peak months are October, November, and February, perfect for hiking and doing outdoor activities. June to September is the wet season and too windy, which makes it undesirable both for hiking and outdoor sightseeing. The only exception is for windsurfers because the time is best for them.There are only two ways you can get to Socotra Island. The first one is by flying with Yemen Airways. It only runs the flight once a week every Wednesday, departing from Cairo at 3:30 am, arriving in Seiyun at 8:00 am, then departing at 9:15 am again, arriving in Socotra at 10:15 am. The second option is by flying with Air Arabia on a new non-stop route from Abu Dhabi to Socotra. It also runs the flight once a week every Monday at 10:00 am departing from Abu Dhabi and arriving in Socotra at 11:30 am.
