听力原文： Some years ago an American policeman found a woman lying near a lonely road．She did not appear to have had an accident, but she was trembling and clearly in a state of shock, so he rushed her to the nearest hospital. She began to tell the doctor on duty a story which was astonishing in all respects. She had been driving along a country road when she was stopped by a flying saucer landing in front of her. She had been forced to leave the car and enter the flying saucer by some creatures.

These creatures looked like human beings, and could easily make themselves understood although they could not speak. It was as though they could read her thoughts and she could read theirs. They treated her politely and allowed her to leave after carrying out a number of tests on her. As she otherwise seemed to be normal, the doctor decided that she was probably suffering from the side-effects of some drug.

The woman insisted on being allowed to go home, but when she gave her address it was in a town over a thousand miles from the hospital. The police then started to make inquiries. They soon discovered that there was already a search going on for the woman, whose husband had reported that she had disappeared. Her car had been found with the driver's door open and the engine running. In front of the car the surface of the road had b~n completely destroyed--not by an explosion or anything of that kind, but as though a large, circular, white-hot object had burnt through it.

(30)

A．She was driving along the country road.

B．She was lying in a hospital bed.

C．She was lying near a lonely road, trembling.

D．She was telling a frightening story to a doctor.

听力原文：Light travels at a speed that is about a million times faster than the speed of s

听力原文： Light travels at a speed that is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300, 000 km, but sound travels only about 334 meters. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.

This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light that you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you about four years ago at a speed of nearly 20 million km per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight's stars started on its journey to you before you were born. Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say, "the stars are shining tonight.” We have to say, "the tars look pretty. They were shining four years ago, but their light has only just reached the earth."

(30)

A．Light speed is millions of times faster than sound speed.

B．Light speed is a million times slower than sound speed.

C．Light speed is about millions of times faster than sound speed.

D．Light speed is about a million times faster than sound speed.

听力原文：We don't know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been u

听力原文： We don't know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to keep the dead from decaying.

Stealing salt was considered a major crime during some periods of history. In the 18th century, for instance, if a person was caught stealing salt, he could be put in jail. History records that about ten thousand people were put in jail that century for stealing salt. About 150 years before, in the year 1533, taking more than one's share of salt was punishable as a crime. The offender's ear was cut off!

Salt was an important item on the table of a king. It was traditionally placed in front of the king when he sat down to eat. Important guests at the king's table were seated near the salt. Less important guests were given seats far away from it.

(33)

A．To keep fish alive.

B．To punish criminals.

C．To preserve dead bodies.

D．To help heal wounds.

听力原文：We can read of things that happened 5000 years ago in the Near East, where people

听力原文： We can read of things that happened 5000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write. But there are some parts of the word where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas—legends handed down from one generation to another. (29)These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did.

(30) Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian people now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2000 years ago.

But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from.

(31) Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. (31)Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.

(30)

A．They moved from one place to another.

B．They came from Indonesia.

C．They have left us information about their migrations.

D．They preserved their sagas and legends.

听力原文：Not long ago, some of you may have read about the team of mountain climbing scien

听力原文： Not long ago, some of you may have read about the team of mountain climbing scientists who helped to recalculate the elevation of the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. Of course the elevation of Mount Everest was determined many years ago using traditional surveying methods. But these scientists wanted to make a more precise measurement, using a new method that takes advantage of recent advances in technology; it's called the Glob al Positioning System. The Global Positioning System uses 24 satellites that circle the earth. Each of the satellites is constantly sending out signals, and each signal contains important information that can be used to determine the longitude, latitude and elevation at any point on the earth’s surface. Well in order to use the system to calculate a mount of Everest's elevation, scientists need to put a special receiver on the summit to receive signals from the satellites. The problem with this was that in the past, the receivers were much too heavy for climbers to carry. But now these receivers have been reduced to about the size and weight of a hand-held telephone, so climbers were able to take the receiver to the top of the Everest, and from there, to access the satellite system signals that would allow them to determine the precise elevation. And it turns out that the famous peak is actually a few feet higher than us previously thought.

(33)

A．The advantages of traditional surveying methods.

B．Using satellites to communicate with mountain climbers.

C．Obtaining new information about a mountain.

D．Controlling satellites from the top of a mountain.

听力原文： The story of silk is a fascinating one. About 4,000 years ago the Chinese discovered the secret of the cocoon. No one knows exactly how or when this was made. One story says that a young princess was drinking tea in her garden and watching the silkworm spin cocoon. By chance one dropped into her tea, and the hot liquid softened it. When the girl tried to take the cocoon out of her tea. She pulled out a long silk thread.

The Chinese merchants sold silk cloth throughout Asia and Europe and became rich. Silk was so expensive that it was called "the cloth of the Kings". Everyone wanted to learn how to make silk, but the Chinese kept the secret carefully guarded. Finally the secret was stolen. In the sixth century, two monks learned about the silk worms and their cocoons. They spent several years in China and finally found a way to take some worm eggs out of the country. The monks also carried bamboo canes. One day they hid some eggs in the hollow canes, and walked out of China with them. It is said that the development of the silk industry in other countries came from those few eggs which the monks had carried out of China.

听力原文： Some of the most interesting buildings in the world are the pyramids. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, kings built the pyramids. They used to build them as tombs. They thought pyramids would help them find life after death. They also wanted the world to remember them as important people. There are many pyramids along the Nile River. The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of 2,300,000 huge stones, most of which are higher than a person. It is about 144 meters high. To build this pyramid,100,000 men worked for twenty years.

The people of Mexico also built pyramids. They didn't build the pyramids for tombs. They used to build a pyramid and then build a temple on top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as those of Egypt, but they are big. Each pyramid has a stairway that goes from the bottom to the top. The biggest pyramid in Mexico is almost 2,000 years old. Scientist's think it took 10,000 men more than ten years to build. On top they built a temple to the sun. The temple is no longer there, but people call it the Pyramid of the Sun.

Scientists have studied the pyramids, but nobody can say just how the people of the ancient days built the pyramids and how they carried and lifted the huge stones. Each stone fits so well and they didn't have our modern machines Z.

(33)

A．They built the pyramid in honor of the gods.

B．They built the pyramid as their tombs.

Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings—battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed—took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by words of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the stone day they happen.

There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for the news of their products goes into every home in the country.

听力原文：Marriage is still a popular institution in the United States, but divorce is beco

听力原文： Marriage is still a popular institution in the United States, but divorce is becoming almost as "popular". Nevertheless, most American people get married at the present time. Fifty percent of American marriages end in divorce. However, four out of five divorced people do not stay single. They get married a see6nd time to new partners. Sociologists tell us that in the next century, most American people will marry three or four times in one lifetime. Alvin Toffler, an American sociologist, calls this new social form. "serial marriages". In his new book Fortune Shock, Toffler gives many reasons for this change in American marriage. In modern society, people's lives don't stay the same for very long. Americans frequently change their jobs, their homes, and their circle of friends. So, the person who was a good husband or wife ten years ago is sometimes not as good ten years later. After some years of marriage, a husband and wife can feel that their lives have become very different, and they don't share the same interests any more. For this reason, Toffler says, people in the twenty- first century will not plan to marry only one person for an entire lifetime. They will plan to stay married to one person for perhaps five or ten years, and then marry another. Most Americans will expect to have a "marriage career" that includes three or four marriages.

(30)

A．Marriage that continues for many years without divorce.

B．Marriage that can easily end in divorce.

C．People will marry three or four times in one life-time.

D．Divorced people don't stay single.
