听力原文: Should a person own a car? This is an important question. In a large urban area, there are some good reasons for owning a car. Firstly, a car allows a person to move around freely. With a car there is no need to check a bus schedule or wait for a train. Secondly, a car is a comfortable way to travel, especially in the winter time. In bad weather, the driver stays warm and dry, while the poor bus or train rider might have to stand in the rain. Finally, a driver is usually safe in a car at night. The bus rider might need to walk down a dark street to get to a stop, or wait on a dark corner.

There are, on the other hand, many good reasons against owning a car. Firstly, it can be very expensive. The price of fuel continues to rise each year. In addition, it is expensive to maintain and repair a car. A simple repair can cost $ 50. In an urban area, it might also be expensive to park a car. Secondly, owning a car can cause worry and stress. It is exhausting to drive in heavy traffic. If you leave your car on the street, it might get stolen. That is something else to worry about.

(33)

A.Buses and trains are too crowded.

B.A person can move around freely.

C.It is easy to maintain cars.

D.A driver is usually safe in his car.

听力原文:Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made

听力原文: Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person's gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction. You need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone, so you cut off eye contact. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself. If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation.

(33)

A.Every glance has its significance.

B.A glance conveys more meaning than words.

C.A gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable.

D.Staring at a person is an expression of interest.

听力原文:Lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth.A single flash of

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.

听力原文:W: So you know what the White Lane Law is?M: In the United States, each state has

听力原文:W: So you know what the White Lane Law is?

M: In the United States, each state has a law that says blind people using canes or dogs have the same rights of public access as the sighted.

W: What does it mean, then?

M: It means that blind people can take their canes and dogs into public buildings, offices, restaurants, theaters, amusement parks, on houses, trains, planes and other public places. These laws were established from the work of the US National Federation of the Blind to make sure that blind people have the same rights as everyone else.

W: Why do some blind people use dogs and others use canes?

M: it is simply a matter of personal choice. Some blind people like using canes better, and some enjoy using dogs.

W: Should I help a blind person across the street?

M: If a blind person asks for help, then you may certainly help. You can ask if any help is needed, but understand that the answer may be "no", Blind people, if they have learned to use a cane or dog and travel independently, may not need help. It is important not to grab someone who is blind. If a blind person wants help, he or she may take your arm, or simply walk beside you. Some blind persons may have a harder time hearing the cars and traffic, especially if there is construction or a lot of noise around the area. Then they might want help that they might not need at other times.

W: Should I help a blind person to a chair?

M: The same rules apply here. Some blind people will appreciate help in locating a chair, but some can find chairs, tables, and desks on their own. Sometimes a blind person may ask where the chairs or tables are, then go to them on his or her own.

(20)

A.To make sure that blind people have the same rights as everyone else.

B.To provide the blind with a white lane for cross a street.

C.To encourage people to volunteer to help the blind.

D.To draw attention to the blind with a cane or a dog in crossing the street.

听力原文:Do you have a tough math test coming up? Then listen to some classical piano musi

听力原文: Do you have a tough math test coming up? Then listen to some classical piano music just before the test. You might end up with a higher score (30) . Researchers at a university in California conducted an experiment. They asked a group of college students to listen to some piano music by a famous 18 th century composer before taking a math test. They were surprised to find that the students' scores jumped 8 to 9 points. The music seems to excite nerve activities in the brain (31) ; similar to the activity that occurs when a person is figuring out a math problem. However, the scientists warn that before you get too excited about applying this method to your math test, you should remember that brain-exciting effects lust only 10 to 15 minutes (32) . Would rock music work as well as the piano music do? No, the scientists say. In fact, the less complex music might even interfere with the brains' reasoning ability.

(31)

A.How to improve your reasoning ability.

B.Why classical music is popular with math students.

C.The difference between classical music and rock music.

D.The effects of music on the results of math tests.

He may be a book keeper who really wants to be an actor or a mechanic who likes cooking. Unfortunately, many people in the world are "square pegs": they are not doing the kind of work they should be doing, for one mason or another. As a result, they probably are not doing a very good job and certainly they are not happy.

Choosing the right career is very important. Most of us spend a great part of our lives at our jobs. For that reason we should try to find out what our talents are and how we can use them.

There are many careers open to each of us. Perhaps we like science. Then we might prepare ourselves to be chemists, physicists, or biologists. Maybe our interests take us into the business world and such work as accounting, personnel management or public relations. Many persons find their places in government service. Teaching, newspaper work, medicine, engineering—these and many other riel& offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.

(33)

A.Someone who is short is like a square peg.

B.Someone who is not suited for his job.

C.Someone who is standing in a square.

D.Someone who is putting a square peg in a round hole.
