听力原文: A lot of people are familiar with the story of Brave Gelert, a dog that faithfully defended the prince's son, but which was then killed while it was fast asleep through a terrible misunderstanding. However, only a few people know that the story is really a pack of lies. Let me explain.
About a hundred or so years ago there was a hotel owner in Wales who was fed up with business being so bad. His hotel was stuck in the middle of nowhere and hardly anyone came to stay. Then, one day, he had an idea. A famous prince called Llewellyn had lived in the area during the Middle Ages and had been keen on dogs. This is hardly surprising as hunting was extremely popular at that time. So what he did was to make up the story of the brave and faithful Gelert and how he had been killed by his ungrateful master.
Of course, people would be far more likely to believe the story if there was something they could see. So one day, the hotel keeper went to the top of a high hill and built a sort of monument from the stones he found lying around, a friend of his, who was an accountant, helped him to construct it. The "tale" soon caught on and developed a life of its own. Afterwards, people came from far and wide to see the spot where the dog was buried. Needless to say, business became very good for the hotel owner.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. According to the tale, who killed the dog?
27. How did the owner of the hotel successfully improve his business?
28. To what purpose did the hotel owner build the stone monument?
29. Which could be the best title for this passage?
(33)
A.A hotel owner.
B.A famous accountant.
C.Its master.
D.The prince's son.
听力原文: Thirty-two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed fight beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. No one even called the police. Was it lack of feeling about one's fellow man?
"Not so," say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to look for the reasons why people didn't act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help.
First he has to notice that it is an emergency. Suppose you see some smoke. Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it "steam pipes"? Or is it really smoke, from a fire? It's not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won't get the help.
Tests show that in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn't. They do not feel any direct responsibility.
Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes, scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person's trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.

听力原文: You are listening to the ABC news. [33] Two foreigners are among four people to have been killed in an explosion in the Egyptian capital Cairo. At least 14 others were wounded, six of them seriously. Police say one of the foreigners killed was a French national. Reports suggest other French citizens and German tourists are among the injured. The blast tore through an area popular with holiday-makers the Khan-el-Khali market, in the east of the city. [34] Witnesses have been quoted as saying a bomb exploded after being thrown from a motorcycle. Some international news agencies say security forces discovered another unexploded device nearby. It was not clear who was behind the apparent attack or if tourists had been deliberately targeted. Islamic militants have previously attacked foreign visitors to the country.
There was another bomb in Russian. Russian news agencies say at least 94 people have been killed in an explosion at a crowded social center in the city of Perm, 1,400km east of Moscow. [35] At least 139 people were wounded. Over 200 people were in the building when the explosion took place. Russian agencies report that the explosion was caused by a fireworks accident and not by an act of terrorism. Officials said most victims had died from smoke inhalation. The Russian government has set up a special commission to deal with the incident. Regional officials said that fireworks used at the party were too big for closed premises and were intended for outdoor use.

听力原文: Lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometers long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs.
The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod. This device protects buildings from damage by lightning. Modern science had discovered that one lightning contains over 15 million volts. A spark between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.
Scientists estimate that there are about 2 000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.
The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside one should go to low ground and not under a tree. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid opening doorways and windows and not touching wires or metal things.
29. What is the main idea of the passage?
30.How many people might be killed by lightning an average week according to the passage?
31.Which of the following is a safe place in an electrical storm?
(30)
A.Benjamin Franklin's life.
B.Lightning electricity.
C.The lightning rod.
D.The Empire State Building.
