听力原文：Many changes are taking place in the way in which men and women look at their rol

听力原文： Many changes are taking place in the way in which men and women look at their roles in society. We see these changes most dramatically in jobs and business situations. It is no longer unusual to find a male nurse or a female construction worker. Years ago，however，a man who worked as a nurse would have been looked down upon for doing a“woman's job”，and a female construction worker would have been roared off the construction site by her male co-workers. However，the most important changes that have taken place can be found in men's and women's roles in family lire.

Household work that used to be done by women is now often shared equally by men and women. Men have discovered at last that they too are capable of preparing the family dinner，rather than thinking that they are only capable of taking out the garbage. Perhaps the greatest change that has taken place in the family is in parents'new attitudes towards bringing up children。While it is true that only mothers can breastfeed their infants，nowhere is it written that fathers cannot bathe their own babies or change diapers. And more and more of them are doing just that. These days，being a full-time parent is a job that fathers and mothers both share.

As a result of these changes，we no longer insist that little boys play with trucks and grow up to be doctors，while little girls play with dolls and grow up to be housewives. Many men no longer feel that they must maintain a masculine attitude all the time，and many women no longer feel that they should be submissive and obedient. Changes like these do not occur overnight or even in a few years because they involve fundamental changes in attitudes and behavior.

(28)

A．Changes in Child Rearing.

B．Changes in American Sex Roles.

C．Changes in Men's Roles in Family Life.

D．Changes in Women's Roles in Career Pursue.

听力原文： A "typical" British family used to consist of mother, father and two children, but in recent years there have been many changes in family life. Some of these have been caused by new laws and others are the result of changes in society. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. In fact one marriage in every three now ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is now more tolerant than it used to be of unmarried people, un married couples and single parents.

Another change has been caused by the fact that people arc living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death of their partners. As a result of these changes in the pattern of people's lives, there are many families that consist of only one person or one person and children. You might think that marriage and the families are not so popular as they once were. However, the majority of divorced people marry again, and they sometimes take responsibility for a second family.

(33)

A．High rate of divorce in Britain.

B．Generation gap in Britain.

C．Changes in family life in Britain.

D．One-parent families in Britain.

听力原文： There are so many things going on in our modern lives, and change happens so quickly. It is hard to imagine a time when things were slower and you could really see a new thing come into your life and to remember the day or the year when those things happened. I know that today, for example, there, are many instances of second and third generations of things, such as televisions or radios, when some of us were not even aware that there was a first generation.

A friend of mine was born at the end of the last century, and talking to her, I really got a sense of her being a living history book, of being able to talk about the changes in her own life and to know that these changes were really the changes that society was going through.

She gets really excited, for example, when she talks about the first time she ever saw a camera, and even more excited when she saw herself in the picture that the photographer took. She lived in a small town, and at the time that she was very young, there were no cars or trains in her town at all. As she grew up, cars and trains came in, and she remembers her first ride with a real sense of amazement that any one count move so fast.

(30)

A．It's amazing that anyone could move so fast.

B．Televisions mark the beginning of modem life.

C．Modern life is changing very fast.

D．It's hard to remember the past.

听力原文：There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last

听力原文： There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last 50 years. The liberation of women in the early part of the 20th century and social and economic effects of the World War Two had a great impact on traditional family life. Women became essential to industry and the professions. During the war, they had worked in factories and proved their worth. Now, with the loss of millions of men, their services were indispensable to the nation. More recently great advances in scientific knowledge, and particularly in medicine have had enormous social consequences. Children are better cared for and are far healthier. Infant death rate is low. Above all, parents can now plan the size of their family if they wish through more effective means of birth control. Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life. But these developments have affected all aspects of society. It is particularly interesting to know that the concept of the family as a social unit has survived all these challenges.

(30)

A．The liberation movement of British women.

B．Rapid economic development in Britain.

C．Changing attitudes to family life.

D．Reasons for changes in family life in Britain.

听力原文：The traditional American family used to have a working father, a housewife-mother

听力原文： The traditional American family used to have a working father, a housewife-mother, and two or three children. But in the last 25 years, this picture has changed. Now we have many different kinds of families and living situations besides this traditional one. For example, there are many single mothers and single fathers who are raising children by themselves. There are married couples who decide that they don't want any children. Sometimes adult children who have been living alone for a long time come back and live with their parents again. You can also find groups of older people sharing a house in order to save money. And there are many other examples of new types of families in this country.

Why has the traditional family changed so much？ Well, the reasons are both social and economic. First, as you know, the divorce rate is high in our culture; as a result, we have many single-parent families. Second, there is unemployment among young adults. If they cannot find a job, many times they return home and live with their parents again. But of course the most important reason for the changes in the American family is all American women are now working or looking for work. This means that more than half of all American homes do not have a full-time homemaker any more.

(23)

A．Traditional American family.

B．Modern American family.

C．Women's role in American family.

D．Changes in the American families and reasons.

听力原文：Many changes are taking place in food style. in the U. S. America is traditionall

听力原文： Many changes are taking place in food style. in the U. S. America is traditionally famous for its very solid and unchanging diet of meat and potatoes. Now we have many different alternatives to choose from, various ethnic food, health food and fast food in addition to the traditional home-cooked meal.

Ethnic restaurants and supermarkets are commonplace in the U. S. because the U.S. is a country of immigrants. There is an immense variety. Any large American city is filled with restaurants serving international cooking. Many cities even have ethnic sections: Chinatown, Little Italy or Germantown. With this vast ethnic choice, we can enjoy food from all over the world. This is a pleasant thought for those who come here to travel or to work. They can usually find their native specialties.

Health food gained popularity when people began to think more seriously about their physical well-being. The very term health food is ironic because it implies that there is also unhealth food. Health food is fresh, natural and unprocessed food. It does not contain preservatives to make it last longer or chemical to make it taste or look better. Most health food enthusiasts are vegetarians. They eat no meat. They prefer to get their essential protein from other sources, such as beans, cheese and eggs. Fast food restaurants are now expanding rapidly all over the country. In the U.S. speed is very important. People usually have a short lunch break or they just do not want to waste their time eating. Fast food restaurants are places which take care of hundreds of people in a short time. There is usually very little waiting and the food is always cheap. Some examples are hamburger and pizza places.

(33)

A．Lack of variety.

B．Full of varieties.

C．Fresh but not delicious.

D．Attractive and nutritious.

听力原文： Hollywood produces many different kinds of films, including mysteries, musicals, love stories, and horror films. As different as these films may be, they generally have one thing in common conflict. The main character wants something very badly and will do anything to get it. The opponent tries to stop the main character from achieving his goal. This opposition creates conflict, and conflict is the heart of drama. To give an example, let's say the main character is a young man of humble origin who wants to marry the beautiful daughter of a rich banker. The father thinks the young man is unworthy of his daughter, and he does not allow her to see him. The young man, who's very much in love, refuses to give up without a fight. The conflict between the young man and the girl's father is what makes the story interesting; it forces the main character to take action, and through their actions we see them as they actually are. In a good story, the main character changes he is not the same at the end of the story as he was at the beginning. He learns something from his experiences that make him a different, perhaps batter person. And we learn something from watching him. Good movies not only entertain us, they also help us understand a little more about life.

(23)

A．Love.

B．Violence.

C．Conflict.

D．Mystery.

听力原文：Many people suffer from some form. of extreme anxiety. Some experience occasional

听力原文： Many people suffer from some form. of extreme anxiety. Some experience occasional attacks of panic for no apparent reason. Others go around in a state of continual uneasiness. The usual way of controlling anxiety is with drugs, which cure none of the conditions described but do help patients man age their anxiety. Patients who take these drugs say that they are able to work, to sleep, and to go to places they had feared to visit. But the effects of the drugs on the human body, especially on the nervous system, have been unknown.

We have started a series of studies to identify the effects of the drugs on the brain and have gained some insight into the costs and benefits of the anti anxiety drugs. They are valuable because they can reduce the effects of anticipated failure, frustration, and disappointment. But their value demands a price. Two effects of the drugs are obviously harmful. They reduce a person's ability to react to changes in the environment; and more important, they keep a person from developing persistence in the face of unexpected troubles. Since it is fairly sure that people will meet problems they had not expected, this effect may make the price of anti-anxiety drugs too high.

(30)

A．They help to cure anxiety.

B．They help patients to gain insight into the cause of anxiety.

C．They help to control anxiety.

D．They help patients to work efficiently.

听力原文： Clay is found almost everywhere in the world. (32) It is formed by the action of wind and water on rocks over thousands of years. The rocks change in both chemical and physical ways. Chemically, elements are added and taken away. Physically, the rocks break down into smaller and smaller pieces. After a long time, some of the rock changes to clay. (33) Clay is important because it is used around the world to make containers of all kinds. Potters add water to soften the clay. This makes it easier to form. into shapes by hand or by machine. Then it is fired in an extremely hot stove. The result is a container with a hard surface that will last for many years. You can usually find good clay (34) in low areas of islands or land, especially if volcanoes helped form. the land. (34) Clay often exists in fields covered with some water. The clay will be found about one meter below the ground. (34) River banks often also have clay about one meter or less under the surface. You can recognize clay (35) because it is very shiny when it is wet. You can also perform. a test. Take some of the material and add enough water to it to make it seem like you are making bread. Then press it in your hand until it is about the size of an egg. It is probably clay if it holds together instead of falling apart when you stop pressing.

听力原文：Today, I'd like to talk about some of the changes land can undergo, specifically

听力原文： Today, I'd like to talk about some of the changes land can undergo, specifically desertification. That's the process through which land becomes part of a desert. Now a desert is defined as a place that receives a certain maximum amount of rainfall. But you may not know that it usually takes more than just a lack of water to turn productive land into a desert. There are several specific human activities that when combined with a lack of rainfall encourage desertification. For example, over-cultivation, growing more crops than soil can support. The soil loses its nutrients, so it needs either to be fertilized or to be left unused for at least a season. But if neither of these things happens, if these nutrients in the soil don't get replaced, the damaged soil stops producing. Another cause of desertification is overgrazing. That's when the grasses and trees and shrubs of an area are expected to feed more animals than they reasonably can. Too many animals eating in the same area will kill the vegetation. And it's because it's the roots of this vegetation that hold much of the soil together, when too much of the vegetation dies, the soil corrodes. But maybe the most paradoxical example of human behavior. that can lead to desertification is irrigation. It may seem to run counter to common sense to say that introducing water into an area can cause it to become more like a desert. But there are plenty of bad irrigation practices that do just that. Bringing in too much salty water and then not providing adequate drainage for it will till the soil with salt, and turn the area into a desert.

(30)

A．It receives more nutrients than it can absorb.

B．It becomes oversaturated with water.

C．It loses the ability to support insect life.

D．It loses nutrients that aren't replaced.
