听力原文:W:(19) You are an expert on urban problem. Mr. Cross. I wonder how you would describe the characteristics of these enormous cities.
M:The first point to make is that they are different from large cities in Europe and America.
W:Surly all large cities are essentially similar.
M:It's true that all large cities experience similar problems provisioning housing and services,but the difference lies in the time factor.
W:Surly some of the cities we are considering are just as old and, in some cases,much older, than cities in the United States,for instance.
M:Very true, but the large cities of Europe and the United States grew relatively slowly.(21) London had a population of more than a million at the beginning of the nineteenth century and this number of more than eight million. And this growth was parallel to industrial growth throughout the country.The same is true of New York, for example.
W:But this is not true of Mexico city or Buenos Aires?
M:No,it is not.(20) Throughout Latin America and in parts of Asia, cities have grown much faster than industry,or agriculture for that matter.Some of these cities have quadrupled in size in less than two decades,while industrial growth over the same period may have only reached thirty to forty percent.
W:What does this mean?
M: Essentially the population growth is not equal to the number of employment opportunities. Much of the increase is due to immigration from the countryside, a movement of people in search of better conditions.

听力原文:W: I'm all packed. (22)Take-off time is 2:30 a.m. the day after tomorrow, but I have to check-in at the airport one and half an hour earlier.
M: Who is taking you to the airport? I'd like to see you off. You need someone to keep an eye on your luggage.
W: That would be awfully nice of you. Are you sure you want to see me off at that hour of the morning?
M: (23)Of course, as long as there is enough room for me.
W: I'll call you then. I wonder what I should wear.
M: As for me, I'd wear a sports shirt and would take a jacket or sweater or something comfortable in case it got chilly on the way. For girls, honestly, I have no clue.
W: Oh, I almost forgot. (24)They will put my checked suitcases and bags in the luggage compartment on the plane and I can't get at them until I arrive at my final destination. I'll ask my mother what I should carry with me.
M: Well, my mother suggested that I should take a clean set of underwear, socks, a shirt, and slacks to put on after I land. So girls would probably need a fresh skirt and blouse plus a change of underwear.
W: That's an awesome idea. Thanks for the advice. (25)Now I just have to say goodbye to my relatives and friends. Some I have to visit or they will be very put out.
