听力原文： The African ancestors of today's black Americans were brought to the U. S. slave

s in the seventeenth，eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries．They worked on farms，especially the large farms in the southern states．Slowly they became a necessary part of the economic system of the South．

Slaves did not have the rights of people，according to the law, they were“things”which belonged to the person who bought them．They had to obey the orders of their owners without question．(32) They were not allowed to learn to read, because their owners feared that educated slaves would begin to think about the injustice of the system and would learn to struggle for their freedom. Slaves had to work long hours in extremely unhealthy conditions．Their owners had complete power over them．They could be bought and sold like animals．At the slave markets, black children were separated from their parents and never saw them again．(33) Slave owners had the right to punish severely any slave who broke rules or protested against the system. Slaves were often beaten brutally by their owners or killed．(34) After the Civil War, one free slave reported that his owners killed an older slave who was teaching him to read. There was a law against brutality to slaves, (35) so in theory an owner who treated a slave badly could be punished. In practice，however, the law meant nothing．Another law said that slaves could not give evidence against white people，so very few owners were ever punished for their brutality.

(33)

A．They were too busy working to learn to read.

B．Their owners were afraid they could read.

C．They had no one to teach them to read.

D．They thought reading was not necessary.

听力原文： Elephants live mostly on grass, leaves and fruit. They also eat the twigs and bark of trees. The quantity of food and water which they consume is enormous, and they can be very destructive in their search for food, there are two main types of elephants. There is the Asiatic elephant, which is found in India, for example, and the African elephant. Superficially they are very much alike, but the African elephant is generally larger. One characteristic of Asiatic elephants is that they do not like being exposed to the sun, and consequently they prefer to live in shady places. They are also very fond of bathing. Apart from that, the most important difference between the two varieties is that the Asiatic elephant is more easily trained. Elephants in India, for example, have been caught and tamed for many hundreds of years. We have already noted that they have good memories, and it is this that makes them easy to train. Since they are immensely strong, they can carry and drag huge objects, such as the trees and rocks. This makes them extremely valuable as beasts of burden.

(30)

A．Asiatic elephants are larger.

B．African elephants do not like being exposed to the sun.

C．African elephants prefer to live in shady places.

D．Asiatic elephants are fond of bathing.

听力原文： A recent film, The Gods Must Be Crazy, described the social change that can result in a society from the introduction of a single item from the outside world. While a pilot was flying in a light plane over a remote desert in South Africa, he finished the soda he was drinking and threw the bottle out of the window. It fell to the ground in an area where an African tribe lived. The people there had almost no possession or sense of private property. No one in the small, remote society had seen a soda bottle before and, because it came from the sky, they believed that it must be a unique gift from the gods. When the bottle was first found, it was something new and people of all ages enjoyed admiring it, playing with it, and thinking about its purpose. It was not very long, however, before arguments and conflicts arose among group members about who would possess the bottle and for what purpose. The harmony of this peaceful society was disturbed by the introduction of a new item of technology. And, as it was told in the film, ties of affection were broken, and people' s trust in each other disappeared.

(33)

A．Because the bottle was empty and useless.

B．Because he wanted to lighten the load of his small plane.

C．Because the bottle might be useful to the native Africans.

D．Because he wanted to amuse the local tribes people.

听力原文： Ask the average American,"What is freedom？"You will probably hear,"It's being able to do what I want to do." When Americans think of freedom, they often think of individualism.They see themselves more as individuals than as members of a family or social group.

In American culture.freedom means equality.The Declaration of Independence states that"all men are created equal."That does not mean equal in abilities or status.For Americans,equality refers to equal worth and equal opportunity. Every individual should have an equal chance to improve his life.True,America has not always lived up to that ideal.For many years,Native Americans,African Americans and immigrants have protested their unequal treatment. But American culture still teaches that people can work hard and fulfill their dreams.Whether this idea is true or not,people hear rags-to-riches stories often enough to confirm it in the minds of many people.

Freedom arouses strong feelings for Americans.The idea of liberty binds people together in this"land of the free." However,problems still exist.One individual's freedom can conflict with the rights of others. Someone once said,"You have the freedom to swing your fist around if you want.But your freedom ends where my nose begins."People can also become too concerned about their own rights.They might demand special treatment.However,the path to freedom is not completely smooth.Even so,for Americans,no other road is really worth traveling.

What do Americans often think of when thinking of freedom？

A．Collectivism.

B．Equality.

C．Social group.

D．Individualism.

听力原文：Different countries and different races have different manners. Before entering a

听力原文： Different countries and different races have different manners. Before entering a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house never finishes a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he has enjoyed it.

We must find out the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered. But people all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.

Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do. He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead, he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel, either to people or animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn. He does not push to the front of the queue. In the bus, he gives his seat to an older person or a lady who is standing. If he accidentally humps into someone, or gets in their way, he says "Excuse toe" or "I'm sorry".

He says "Please" when making a request, and "Thank you" when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not talk toe much himself. He does not talk with his mouth full of food. He uses a handkerchief when he sneezes or coughs.

(30)

A．In some European countries.

B．In some African countries.

C．In some Asian countries.

D．In some American counties.

听力原文： We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. "Most of the infections we think of as human infections started in other animals," says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.

It's not just that we're going to where the animals are; we're also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. "I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them," says Isaksen.

"Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing," says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug may be kind at first. But some strains may become harmful. Monkey-pox doesn't look like a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. What do we learn about the pet sold at the shop？

34. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets？

35. What does the passage suggest we may have to do in the future？

(30)

A．It may come from Columbia.

B．It may suffer from monkey-pox.

C．It may enjoy being with children.

D．It may prevent us from being infected.

听力原文： This incident occurred one morning outside Albert Schweitzers hospital in the

African jungle. A patient had gone fishing in another mans boat. The owner of the boat thought he should be given all the fish that were caught. Dr Schweitzer said to the boat owner, "You are right because the other man ought to have asked permission to use your boat. But you are wrong because you are careless and lazy. You merely twisted the chain of your canoe round a palm tree instead of fastening it with a padlock. Of laziness you are guilty because you were asleep in your hut on this moonlit night instead of making use of the good opportunity for fishing." He turned to the patient, "But you were in the wrong when you took the boat without asking the owners permission. You were in the right because you were not so lazy as he was and you did not want to let the moonlit night go by without making some use of it." Dr Schweitzer divided the catch among the fisherman, the boat owner, and the hospital. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard. 19. Why did Dr Schweitzer settle the argument？ 20. What did Dr Schweitzer tell the men？ 21. What was the final judgment？20．

听力原文：（16) Daniel Hale Williams was an example of a brilliant African-American doctor w

听力原文： (16) Daniel Hale Williams was an example of a brilliant African-American doctor who managed to find success despite the obstacles white Americans placed in front of him. He was born in 1856 in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Almost immediately after graduating, (17) he needed to open his own office because at that time no Chicago hospitals would allow black doctors to "use modern facilities and equipment to complete their medical training and care for patients". After two years of successfully running his own hospital, Daniel Hale Williams was confronted with an operation that had never been accomplished. While working in the emergency room, a black express man, James Cornish, rushed in with a knife trauma into his chest. (18) None of the other doctors seemed to know what to do since the external bleeding had stopped, plus there was no way for them to see what was happening inside his chest. This was because there were no x-ray machines available to the doctors, because they were not yet discovered. As the night progressed, Cornish's state began to diminish. After careful evaluation and assessment, Daniel decided that performing open heart surgery on Cornish was the most promising procedure for them to take. Daniel took on the challenge of performing an operation without much technology or advancement. While in the operating room, Daniel "decided to operate on the left side of the chest cavity. (19) The surgery was a success and James Cornish lived for twenty years after the operation was completed. With all of this agony and strength, Daniel Hale Williams became the first person to perform. a successful heart surgery."

16. What is the purpose of the passage？

17.Why didn't Williams work at a hospital？

18.Why hadn't open heart surgery been performed before？

19.How do we know the operation was really successful？

(7)

A．To talk about Daniel Hale William's life.

B．To show how racial discrimination was.

C．To show how an African American paid off.

D．To demonstrate the first open heart surgery.
