听力原文:As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are find

听力原文: As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some trips are certainly in order. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably they will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good deal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion. You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, anticipate your travel needs as a businesswoman;, this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed. Take a folding case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!

(33)

A.Working women who have no time for cooking.

B.Husbands and children of working women.

C.Working women who must travel on their own.

D.Hotel personnel who must cater to working women.

听力原文:M: Why do you think that way?W: While I admit there is very little discrimination

听力原文:M: Why do you think that way?

W: While I admit there is very little discrimination here on campus towards orientation, appearance and nationality, women are not treated equally. Women are not represented in many faculties. They also hold fewer senior faculty positions, are not represented well in administration and, do you know, not once has them been a female president of the student union.

M: You are running for president of the student union on the issue of equality, but you are not going to be a winner, I suppose. Most students feel women have equality nowadays.

W: Not the students I have talked to, particularly the women. My brother is a lawyer and he says the women in his firm have to work much harder than the men if they want to become a partner in the firm.

M: So you are going to champion women's rights for the election.

W: Yes, my campaign will focus on that but I will not ignore other issues such as transportation, cafeterias and so on. I have been a student here lot 4 years and am aware of all the issues. If I can make this campus a better place for all students, then as a woman, I would be setting an excellent role model. And, I am sure I can do a better job than Jerry did this year.

M: What did Jerry accomplish this year?

W: Next to nothing. He put pressure on the cafeterias to be a little more environmentally friendly but that is all about it.

(20)

A.To prove women's diligence.

B.To seek gender equality on campus.

C.To improve transportation and accommodation.

D.To put pressure on male students.

听力原文:Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this

听力原文: Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country haven't been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express stronger opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but she'd also accepted a date with the most charming men she'd ever met.

"Really?" I responded," tell me about them. "

" Receptionist in an attorney's office and a welder at a construction site. " She answered in a matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is my daughter's date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old stereotypes of men's and women's work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own marriage.

"Who's going to mow the lawn?" I asked my husband this morning.

"Oh, I will," he answered politely, "That's men's work.

"What?" Irritated, I raised my voice, "That's a ridiculous stereotype. I'll show you who can do the best job on the lawn. "

The work took 3 hours and I did it all myself.

Questions:

29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

30. What might women do at office meetings nowadays according to the speaker?

31. Why did the speaker mow the Lawn herself that morning?

(30)

A.The old stereotypes about men and women.

B.The changing roles played by men and women.

C.The division of labor between men and women

D.The widespread prejudice against women.

听力原文:M: Well, you seemed to be having fun watching the movie?W: Yeah, it was good fun.

听力原文:M: Well, you seemed to be having fun watching the movie?

W: Yeah, it was good fun. I think it kept me in stitches right from the start.

M: You know, whenever I watch comedy, I always like to know why it is that people like to laugh. I mean, why does it feel so good to laugh?

W: Yeah, I heard from my biology professor that even after centuries of scientific research, no one knows for sure why human beings and just a few other primates laugh.

M: I read somewhere that Charles Darwin thought that laughter, which begins with small babies, was like an evolutionary "reward" to the mother and father. Baby's laughter sounded and felt so different from crying, he believed, that even prehistoric parents must have interpreted it as a sign of well-being, kind of like the purring of a kitten. The parents enjoyed the laughter, which encouraged them to continue caring for the child.

W: Yes, apparently researchers have also found that it has a positive effect on many patients and that it produces certain hormones that actually switch on the body's immune system and actually help fight off diseases. So it could be to help fight off disease.

M: I also heard that some psychology professor from the University of Maryland, studied the laughter that takes place in conversations between men and women and found that most laughter takes place when males are talking and females are listening. Men are more likely to make jokes than women are, and women are more likely to laugh at them than men are.

W: If only your jokes were funny, I might laugh more and lit that pattern.

M: Well, I've heard that apes also like laughing.

W: I heard that too. Chimpanzees, apes, orangutans and a few other primates laugh, but no other animals do. I've seen them laugh at zoos, when tickling each other, and when playing chasing games. Their laugh sounds like rapid panting, but I've been assured it's a kind of laughing.

M: Which reminds me I'd better go back before my roommates eat all the chicken I left out in the kitchen!

(23)

A.The purpose of laughter.

B.The cause of laughter and its effects.

C.Who and when people laugh.

D.The origins of laughter.

听力原文:W: Hi, Professor Higgins.

M: Hi, Julia.

W: [22] Would you be able to help me organize my essay?

M: Certainly. What topic have you chosen?

W: Women in Politics.

M: [23] That topic is very broad. I think you should narrow it down.

W: Do you think I could just do women in English speaking countries—say the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain?

M: Well, that would be better.

W: I am interested in the pattern of political involvement of women in those western democracies. With New Zealand and Australia leading the way, women in those countries had the vote soon after the end of World War I.

M: [24] It would be good to begin with a discussion of when women got the fight to vote and how they use it.

W: The record of women in politics in all those countries has been similar. None of them has women represented more than 10 percent of members of the national legislature.

M: Remember, it is not what you think. [23] You must back up your opinions with facts. Support for all your ideas is essential. I think you should check the statistics on what percentage of women hold political office in the national governments.

W: Okay, I also plan to discuss the role of organized women's fights.

M: That is a good idea, but remember this term-paper is only 5,000 words so [23] you must keep your topic focused.

W: Could I bring you a rough draft next week?

M: [25] I would prefer if you broughht an outline, breaking down your main topics and subtopics. It may be a good idea to bring some of your reference materials along.

W: Sure, I will do that. Thank you very much.

听力原文:M: Hi, Sarah. What's up?

W: Oh, hi, I just got out of a history class. I had to give a presentation.

M: How did it go?

W: Terrible. I'm sure I made a fool of myself.

M: Why? Weren't you prepared?

W: No, it was not that. (23) I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I have to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red and then I get even more nervous because I know everyone can see me blushing.

M: It's not so bad to blush.

W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer. I will blush like crazy if he calls on me. Doesn't that ever happen to you?

M: No, not really. (24)Maybe you should just try to forget about the people. Look at something else in the room, like the exit sign.

W: I guess I could try that. But I doubt it'll help.

M: You know we talked about this in psychology class. (25)Blushing, even though it's involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior.

W: What do you mean?

M: (25)Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And among adults, supposedly, women blush more than men.

W: I wonder why?

M: I don't know, but I had a friend in high school, Brian Smith. It was really easy to make him blush. He turned red whenever a waitress would ask him for his order.

W: I'm not that bad. Well, I've got to get going for my next class. I'll talk to you later.

(20)

A.She felt embarrassed in class.

B.Her presentation received a poor grade.

C.She had not completed her assignment.

D.She was unable to attend her psychology class.

听力原文:W: Sam, could you review the results of the survey on leisure sporting activities
again? We need to plan out our proposal for this Friday's business meeting.

M: Sure. I've summarized the results in the handout, broken down by consumer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the ages of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18 to 26, 27 to 35, 36 to 45, and 46 to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities are those between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36 to 45 years old.

W: I see.

M: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.

W: And what about these groups broken down by gender?

M: Oh, thanks for bringing that up. Men appear to be slightly mom active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groups.

W: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.

M: I see what you mean. However, when these results are compared with the survey carried out three years ago, we can see a growing trend among older consumers--those 14, I mean 46 to 55 who are becoming more conscious and concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should focus on this group instead.

W: I see your point. Well, let's meet again on Wednesday to iron out more of the details of this proposal.

(23)

A.Leisure sporting activities.

B.Average age of athletes.

C.Durability of sporting equipment.

D.People's preference for sporting activities.
