听力原文: When little Midori was two years old, she often Climbed onto the piano bench and

reached for the violin that belonged to her mother, a 38-year-old professional musician.

"Please don't touch my violin, Midori," her mother scolded. The violin was, after all, worth more than $ 20 000. A professional musician never owns inexpensive musical instruments.

But Midori persisted; she longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on her third birthday, Midori was handed a package: a tiny violin, about half the normal size. That was Midori's first violin.

Almost from the moment Midori was born, her mother knew she was sensitive to music. For several years mother and daughter practiced together day after day. She-was eager to learn. She loved music from the bottom of her heart. Failure often led to tears ,though she never once turned from the instrument. She just could not stop her love for music. Instead, she persisted until the problem was overcome.

One day Johnson, an American musician, heard Midori playing the violin. He couldn't believe she was just eight years old. "She must make a tape and I will take it to the United States, "the musician said.

A famous American violin teacher heard the tape. He, too, had difficulty believing his ears. The playing was absolutely astonishing. He immediately accepted her as a pupil and recommended her for a full scholarship. In 1982 ,Midori and her mother moved to Neat York city, leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.

听力原文:For those of you who were born in the year of the pig, good luck and much success

听力原文: For those of you who were born in the year of the pig, good luck and much success! This is your year.

When talking to a Westerner, however, you've got to be a little careful when you talk about pigs. Chinese people view the pig as a smart and lucky animal. Western ideas tend to be a little more negative.

A pig in the West is seen as a dirty, lazy, and fat animal. If anyone ever called you a pig, you wouldn't be smiling. When a person doesn't like someone, sometimes he will call that person a pig.

If you ever meet a Westerner who was born in the year of the pig, don't say "Oh, you're a pig!" Most Westerners will be understanding. They will be sure that you made some kind of a mistake. However, don't take any chances. You might just offend someone who does not share your positive ideas about pigs.

(30)

A.Because they worship pigs best of all.

B.Because they consider pigs as bad animals.

C.Because they aren't used to talking about pigs.

D.Because they don' t like the topic about pigs at all.

听力原文: Many egg-laying animals merely lay their eggs and leave. Turtles, for instance, and horseshoe crabs, the eggs hatched and the little ones are their own. The current theory about birds is the earliest birds did just that when they were cold-blooded creatures living in warm places. However, when they became warm-blooded creatures living in cold places, they had to remain on the eggs to keep them warm. For this, they needed a place--a nest. Very likely, the first nest was just a primitive hole scraped in the ground. Even now many species still lay eggs in this sort of crude nest. Primitive nests found on the ground were fine for some birds, but others began to elevate their nests in branches, perhaps to avoid predators. These early elevated nests were probably loose platforms of sticks and dried leaves. The type is still built by some birds today. The latest development in nest, the most recent vision, so to speak, is the cup-shaped nest. This is the one we regard today as the typical bird's nest, you know, like a robin's nest.

(36)

A.Their flying ability improved greatly.

B.They became warm-blooded.

C.They began to lay eggs.

D.They changed their migration patterns.

听力原文: During the early American colonial years, corn was more plentiful than wheat, so corn bread was more common than wheat bread. Friendly Indians showed colonists how to grow corn and how to prepare it for food and pioneer women then improved the Indian cooking techniques. When people traveled, they went on foot or horseback, sleeping and eating in the forests. They carried corn bread for sustenance. The corn bread came to be called journeyeake. Later when roads and taverns were built and stagecoaches carried passengers, journeycake became johnnycake, a name many easterners still use for corn bread. The kinds of bread made with cornmeal were and still are almost without limit. Every region has its specialties.

From the start, southerners showed a preference for white eorm:neal, northerners for yellow. And pioneers on the frontier, when they ran out of yeast, made salt-rising bread. They stirred together water, a little water ground cornmeal, potatoes, and salt. They set the mixture, uncovered, in a warm place until it absorbed bacteria from the air and began to ferment. Then they removed the potatoes and used the liquid as leavening for their bread, made with white flour.

(33)

A.The colonists preferred corn bread.

B.Corn was more abundant.

C.The colonists did not know how to make wheat bread.

D.Corn bread did not spoil as rapidly as wheat bread did.

听力原文:Are you afraid, to raise your hand in class, even when you know the answer? If yo

听力原文: Are you afraid, to raise your hand in class, even when you know the answer? If you are, most people would say that you are shy. If you feel shy, you are not alone. Nine out of ten people are at least a little shy. But however shy you are, scientific evidence seems to show that it isn't your fault. You may have been born that way.

How do psychologists measure shyness? One way is by observation. They keep detailed records of people's actions—like how often these people speak to others, or how long it takes someone to say "Hello" to a stranger. Another way to measure shyness is to ask people questions. The test only takes about 10 minutes. It asks question like "Do you like going out a lot?" and "Do you have many friends?" People must answer either "Yes" or "No". These questions can predict how people actually behave in social situations. Suppose the test tells you that someone is shy. Chances are good that person will act shy.

When scientists measure shyness, they are really comparing degrees of shyness. In other words, when researchers say people are shy, they really mean they are more shy than others.

(30)

A.Because many people don't know how to behave in social situations.

B.Because most people are shy by nature.

C.Nobody will laugh at you for being shy.

D.Shyness is difficult to overcome.
