听力原文：In 1848, gold was discovered near San Francisco and the first great gold-rush beg

听力原文： In 1848, gold was discovered near San Francisco and the first great gold-rush began. When the news spread, farmers, lawyers, sailors, soldiers and school teachers rushed to California by what ever means they could. Within a ear, 100.000 people only 8,000 of whom were women had reached the coast of California. More than half of them had traveled overland across the American continent. "Gold fever" began to spread. Settlements throughout the United States were deserted. Homes, farms and stores were abandoned as everybody raced for California. Many came by sea, and in July 1850 more than 500 ships were anchored in San Francisco Bay, many of which had been deserted by gold-hungry sailors. A few people became very rich, but it was a risky business. Law and order broke down, Even if a miner "struck it rich" , there were always those who would try to take it away: gamblers, outlaws, and thieves. Gold and silver were discovered in Nevada a few years later, and "gold fever" was an important part of the colonization of the western United States.

(33)

听力原文： From this lookout we enjoy one of the most spectacular views of San Francisco. As you can see, the city rests on a series of hills varying in altitude from sea level to 938 feet. The first permanent settlement was made at this site in 1776. For thirteen years the village had fewer than 100 inhabitants. But in 1848, with the discovery of gold, the population grew to ten thousand. The same year the name was changed from Yerba Buea to San Francisco. By 1862 telegraph communications linked San Francisco with eastern cities, and by 1869, the first transcontinental railroad connected the Pacific coast with the Atlantic seaboard. Today San Francisco has a population of almost 3 million. It is the financial center of the west, and serves as the terminus for trans-Pacific steamship lines and air traffic. The port of San Francisco which is almost 18 miles long with 42 piers, handles between 5 and 6 million tons of cargo annually. And now, if you will look to your right, you should just be able to see the east section of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge, which is more than one mile long, spans the harbor from San Francisco to Marin County and the Red Wood Highway. It was completed in 1937 at a cost of 32 million dollars and is still one of the largest suspension bridges in the world.

听力原文： People always seem to be looking for ways to get rich quickly. So when gold was discovered in California in the mid 1800's, hundreds and hundreds of people rushed in, hoping to get a part of the wealth. Today, gold in California continues to have as much of an appeal as it did over one hundred years ago. Modem prospectors in the form. of mining corporations have headed back to the same area to use new techniques for locating the gold that old time prospectors left behind. These modern prospectors, however, do not have some of the problems the old timers had. Anxious to seek a fast fortune, many of those early prospectors arrived before law and order were established. And they took full advantage of this situation by cheating and robbing each other. But not every one looking for gold in those days was greedy. Some people were generous and helpful. One such person was William Waldo. He established a relief committee that collected money and supplies to help save the lives of countless people who were caught in the mountains by early snowstorms before they even reached California.

(26)

A．Better land.

B．Quick wealth.

C．Modem equipment.

D．Stricter laws.

听力原文：M: Hi, Mary, this is John. Do you mind my calling at this early hour？

W: Not at all. What's on your mind—anything special？

M: It's only to find out what you're doing Friday night.

W: That depends, what's up？

M: There's a folk concert at the auditorium.

W: Folk music, I dig, but that would take a whole evening and I have an appointment with Mrs. David to help her with Chinese History.

M: Can you cancel it or postpone it？

W: I'm sorry, it wouldn't be nice to call off an appointment that was set up a week ago. May I take a rain check？

M: Sure, what about Saturday then？

W: What's on the schedule？

M: We have a good football game at two.

W: That's just great. I hear a lot of people can't get the tickets.

M: I'll treat you to some Chinese food in Cincinnati after the game. I'm sure you'd enjoy Chinese food. After dinner if you like, we can take in a movie. How does that sound？

W: But I won't have time to change after the game. I don't want to wear slacks to dinner.

M: Then wear a sweater and skirt with your car coat. Or how about your green knit suit and top coat？ You look sharp in that. I'll wear the new scarf you gave me with my brown sports jacket and slacks. Then, we won't be too dressed up for football or too dressed down for dinner. How's that？

W: Will we be OK for the movie too？

M: We'll be fine! Only one thing missing. I'll have to get you a big gold chrysanthemum to wear. All the girls must have one, especially for their first football game—it's a tradition.

W: What movie are we going to see？

M: What kind of movie do you like most—detective, western, romance, cartoons？

W: Anyway, thanks for calling, I'm late for class—then see you Saturday.
