W: That is 1,860,000 miles per second, isn't it？
M: Yeh. Or 300,000 km per second. Of course only light can travel that fast.
W: Yeh. I know, Bob. But it is still incredible. When an astronaut lands on the moon within seconds we on earth can see it happen. People here in Australia see it at the same moment they see it in US. It is wonderful.
M: Maybe it's wonderful. I know very well it is a fact. All over the planet we can see the same thing at the same time. So moving on the moon or playing a soccer game or if we like we can watch the same war.
W: That's awful !
M: What？ Soccer？
W: You know very well that I mean war. It's awful to have a war and it's awful to watch a war on television. It's not right to sit in your house to watch people kill each other.
M: Right or wrong, awful or not, it is a fact. Wars are on the television all the time, and people all over the world watch it. Sometimes they eat dinner while they watch.
W: I don't believe that.
M: The trouble with you is that you have many opinions about things but you don't look at facts. You don't see what you don't want to see.

A．The speed of light.
B．The speed of telecommunications.
C．Astronauts landing on the moon.
D．The United States.
W: You're right, Don. That sign says Chagford Town Hall. But there's a more interesting notice on the other side of the square. Do you see what it says？ "Open for Devon Cream Teas".
M: Oh, yes, so it does. Oh, I must get a newspaper. There's a newsagent next door.
W: What for？
M: To find out what's been happening.
W: I don't need a newspaper. We must have been walking for at least six hours. My feet have been hurting for a- bout four hours and I've been starving since we shared that tin of cold beans.
M: You're hungry again？ I see what you mean. That tea shop does look interesting. We could plan tomorrow's walk while we were having tea.
W: So toady we had complete Devon cream teas, with additional sandwiches and cakes, and another order of scones. I feel better. How about you？
M: A Devon cream tea is better than a tin of cold beans. In fact, it's better than almost anything... except a good newspaper. Do you ever buy a newspaper？
W: Not often. But I watch television.
M: Television! It only scratches the surface.
W: Television coverage is very dramatic.
M: Yes. You learn what happened but never why it happened.
W: Rubbish.
M: TV workers aren't in aren’t in a position to fill in the background.
W: They were there.
M: No, they only show you the bits.
M: Yes, of course. See to it, will you, Turner. I must get a newspaper before the newsagent closes.
W: Could you get me a paper？
M: What for？
W: To find out what's on television.

Traffic statistics paint a gloomy picture. To help solve their traffic woes(悲哀), some rapidly growing US cities have simply built more roads. But traffic experts say building more roads is a quick-fix solution that will not alleviate the traffic problem in the long run. Soaring land costs, increasing concern over social and environmental disruptions caused by road-building, and the likelihood that more roads can only lead to more cars and traffic are powerful factors bearing down on a 1950s-style. constructions program.
The goal of smart-highway technology is to make traffic systems work at optimum efficiency by treating the road and the vehicles traveling on them as an integral transportation system. Proponents of this advanced technology say electronic detection systems, closed-circuit television radio communication, ramp(斜坡) metering, variable message signing, and other smart-highway technology can now be used at a reasonable cost to improve communication between drivers and the people who monitor traffic.
Pathfinder, a Santa Monica, California-based smart-highway project in which a 14-mile stretch of the Santa Monica Freeway, making up what is called a "smart corridor", is being instrumented with buried loops in the pavement. Closed-circuit television cameras survey the flow of traffic, while communications linked to properly equipped automobiles advise motorists of the least congested routes or detours(便道).
Not all traffic experts, however, look to smart-highway technology as the ultimate solution to traffic jam. Some say the high-tech approach is limited and can only offer temporary solutions to a serious problem.
"Electronics on the highway addresses just one aspect of the problem: how to regulate traffic more efficiently," explains Michael Renner, senior researcher at the World watch Institute. "It doesn't deal with the central problem of too many cars for roads that can't be built fast enough. It sends people the wrong message. "They start thinking. Yes, there used to be a traffic congestion problem, but that's been solved now because we have an advanced high-tech system in place." Larson agrees and adds, "Smart highways is just one of the tools that we will use to deal with our traffic problems. It's not the solution itself, just part of the package. There are different strategies."
Other traffic problem-solving options being studied and experimented with include car pooling, rapid mass transit systems, staggered or flexible work hours, and road pricing, a system whereby motorists pay a certain amount for the time they use a highway.
It seems that we need a new, major thrust to deal with the traffic problems of the next 20 years. There has to be a big change.
What is the appropriate title for the passage？
A．Smart Highway Projects—The Ultimate Solution to Traffic Congestion.
B．A Quick Fix Solution for the Traffic Problems.
C．A Venture to Remedy Traffic Woes.
D．Highways Get Smart-Part of the Package to Relieve Traffic Gridlock.
A.no one can be both creative and critical
B.they cannot be regarded as equally important
C.they are in constant conflict with each other
D.one cannot use them at the same time
“With virtual reality we’ll be able to put a surgeon in every trench,” said Satava. He envisaged a time when soldiers who are wounded fighting overseas are put in mobile surgical units equipped with computers.
The computers would transmit images of the soldiers to surgeons back in the U.S. The surgeons would look at the soldier through virtual reality helmets （头盔） that contain a small screen displaying the image of the wound. The doctors would guide robotic instruments in the battlefield mobile surgical unit that operate on the soldier.
Although Satava’s vision may be years away from standard operating procedure, scientists are progressing toward virtual reality surgery. Engineers at an international organization in California are developing a tele-operating device. As surgeons watch a three-dimensional image of the surgery, they move instruments that are connected to a computer, which passes their movements to robotic instruments that perform. the surgery. The computer provides feedback to the surgeon on force, textures, and sound.
These technological wonders may not yet be part of the community hospital setting but increasingly some of the machinery is finding its way into civilian medicine. At Wayne State University Medical School, surgeon Lucia Zamorano takes images of the brain from computerized scans and uses a computer program to produce a 3-D image. She can then maneuver the 3-D image on the computer screen to map the shortest, least invasive surgical path to the tumor （肿瘤）. Zamorano is also using technology that attaches a probe to surgical instruments so that she can track their positions. While cutting away a tumor deep in the brain, she watches the movement of her surgical tools in a computer graphics image of the patient’s brain taken before surgery.
During these procedures—operations that are done through small cuts in the body in which a miniature camera and surgical tools are maneuvered—surgeons are wearing 3-D glasses for a better view. And they are commanding robot surgeons to cut away tissue more accurately than human surgeons can.
Satava says, “We are in the midst of a fundamental change in the field of medicine.”
第36题：According to Richard Satava, the application of virtual reality to medicine ________.
A．will enable surgeons to be physically present on every battlefield
B．can raise the spirits of soldiers wounded on the battlefield
C．will greatly improve medical conditions on the battlefield
D．can shorten the time for operations on soldiers wounded on the battlefield

听力原文： "If you ask me television is unhealthy," I said to my roommate Walter, as I walked into the living room, "while you are sitting passively in front of the TV set, your muscles are turning to fat, your complexion is fading, and your eyesight is being ruined."
"Shh," Walter put his finger to his lips, "this is an intriguing murder mystery."
"Really？" I replied. "But you know, the brain is destroyed by TV viewing. Creativity is killed by that box, and people are kept from communicating with one another. From my point of view, TV is the cause of declining interest in school and the failure of our entire educational system."
"Ah ha, I kind of see your point." Walter said softly, "But see？ The woman on the witness stand in this story is being questioned about a murder that was committed one hundred years ago."
Ignoring his enthusiastic description of the plot, I went on with my argument.
"As I see it," I explained, "not only are most TV programs badly written and produced, but viewers are also manipulated by the mass media. As far as I am concerned, TV watchers are cut off from reality, from nature, from other people, from life itself!" I was confident in my ability to persuade.
After a short silence, my roommate said: "Anyway, I've been planning to watch the football game. I am going to change the channel."
"Don't touch that dial!" I shouted, "I wanted to find out how the mystery turns out!"
I am not sure I got my point to cross.

听力原文： When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us that they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn't that our friends are all busy, it is just that we haven't got a television. People think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evenings？" they are always asking. The answer is simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don't spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign language. This is particularly useful as we always go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to music and playing chess(象棋)together.
Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us as we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lost--no television! --so they don't know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full as they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games. Yes, life is possible without television!
(33)
A．Because they are in a hurry.
B．Because they are strange.
C．Because they cannot watch TV.
D．Because they have other schedules.
听力原文： In public speaking, the watch word is preparation. Most of us tend to put things off, at least occasionally. It's so easy to put things off especially those things we do not look forward to doing. So if the speaking engagement is several weeks off, we may feel that we still have plenty of time. But as the day draws closer, we begin to panic. Don't let this happen to you. Start preparing as soon as you're given or accept the speaking assignment. You have much to do and to do it right will take time. How much better your speech will be and how much better you'll feel if you have taken the time to do it right! When you are prepared, you have gathered the needed data, determined what is appropriate to the listener's understanding and acceptance levels, organized the ideas so they flow logically, selected examples and other supports for your ideas and made them interesting to your listeners, developed a great opening that you know will capture the attention of even the daydreamers in your audience checked out the room where you'll be speaking and requested any feasible changes you wish in the set-up of the room If you are prepared, you are confident that you can best convey your message to your listeners. If you waited until a few days before your presentation to begin to prepare, or worse, yet, the day before, no doubt you'll be anxious and with good reason. And now there is not enough time to engage in more than a superficial attempt. Both you and the audience will feel uncomfortable, like retirement planning. It is never too early to start preparing for your presentation. So, start preparing right away.
(33)
A．Confidence.
B．Preparation.
C．Informativeness.
D．Select appropriate materials.
听力原文： At the theater, she disrupts the first act as she climbs over your knees toward her seat. When your doorbell rings on a Saturday night, long after your other guests have begun eating, you know he has arrived for dinner. At work, you don't expect her at your 9:00 a.m. meeting.
They are the latecomers and it doesn't matter if they wear a watch or use an alarm dock. Lateness is their way of life.
Chronic lateness has spoiled friendships, and a habit that has caused people to lose their job. Why, then, are so many people late？
"Not arriving on time can be a form. of avoidance," says Dr. Richard Kravitz, a psychiatrist at Yale New Haven Medical Center in Connecticut. "You are late for a party, or coming home from work, because you don't want to be where you're supposed to be." Other reasons for chronic lateness are more complex. Dr. Kravitz suggests that some latecomers know that their lateness will cause anger, and this serves their deep need to be punished. Alternatively, some latecomers have a tendency to force someone to wait, which is a way of expressing anger or resentment.
As for those of us who wait, if we can set limits as to how long we will stay before leaving when appropriate, we can make our anger known. And though it is true that being prompt can be as compulsive as being late, Shakespeare advised this: "Better three hours too soon than a minute too late."
(33)
A．It indicates that latecomers don't care about others' time.
B．It indicates that latecomers always ignore other people's feeling.
C．It indicates that latecomers enjoy being looked at by others.
D．It indicates that lateness is their way of life.
(29)To esteem anything is to evaluate it positively and hold it high regard, but evaluation gets us into trouble because while we sometimes win, we also sometimes lose. To respect something, on the other hand, is to accept it.
The word acceptance suggests to some readers that our culture does indeed deal with this idea of self-respect; after all, don't we have the concept that it is important to accept our limitations？ Aren't many of us encouraged "to change the things we can change, accept the things we cannot change and know the difference between the two？"
(30)The person with self-respect simply likes herself or himself. This self-respect is not dependent on success because there are always failures to contend with, Neither is it a result of comparing ourselves with others because there is always someone better. There are techniques usually employed to increase self-esteem. (31)Self-respect, however, is a given. We simply like ourselves because of who we are and not because of what we can or cannot do.
My recent research, with Judith White and Johnny Walsh at Harvard University, points to the advantage of selfrespect. (32)Compared to those with high self-esteem who are still caught in an evaluative framework, those with self-respect are less prone to blame, guilt, regret, lies, have secrets and stress.
(33)
A．It is the same as self-respect.
B．It is totally different from self-respect.
C．It is to think only the positive even when we lose.
D．It is to evaluate positively and hold high regard.
