听力原文：M: I suppose you must have heard about that great piece of concrete falling onto a car in that terrible accident in South Street yesterday, didn't you, Jane？
W: Yes, I saw it in the paper. From a 200-foot high building, wasn't it？ I gather the driver had just got out or he'd have been killed, wouldn't he？

W: I know what you mean. There's so much to find out about in so many different ways nowadays. We have television, we have radio, and we have all sorts of magazines.

听力原文：M: Excuse me, may I have some information about the reception party that you're advertising outside. It's for new students, isn't that right？
W: That's right and what would you like to know about it？
M: Well, I'm not really sure what the purpose of the event is.
W: The party will provide students with a chance to get to know each other, and a chance for students who have successfully been through university to pass on some valuable advice.
M: Who's organizing the event？ Is it the faculty or...
W: Actually, it is the Alumni Association that's organizing this event. So, it's strictly a student to student event.
M: I hope we won't have to sit through a lot of boring speeches. I mean aren't these students just "brains" anyway. What can they actually do to help a guy like me？
W: No, these people are not "brains" at all. The Alumni are simply a group of normal, but grateful students who hope that, by sharing their experiences with new students, they can help more students to successfully graduate.
M: But still we have any time for some fun at this party？
W: Most of the time will be split between eating, dancing, and singing—so not to worry. However, some of the words of wisdom from the former students should not be missed.
M: You've got a point. They are, after all, success stories if they've managed to survive university life. I hear about only half of all students who start university actually finish it.
W: And besides that, there's another reason to go.
M: What's that？
W: The pie they'll be serving is delicious. I know since I'm the one who will be making it.

听力原文：M: This is it. I know that it is smaller than you wanted, but it is one of the nicest apartments in the buildings.
W: Does it have three bedrooms？
M: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.
W: I suppose I could do that.
M: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.
W: Yes, I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won't allow children as tenants.
M: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex.
W: Aren't you the owner？
M: No. I am the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building.
W: Oh. That's nice. Then if anything gets broken...
M: Just leave a note on my door.
W: You said that the rent would be 350 dollars a month. Does that include any of the utilities？
M: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove axe gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive.
W: This sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease I would like my husband to see it.
M: Why not stop by with him this evening？
W: How late are you open？ He doesn't get off work until five.
M: Come by at six. I will still be in the office. I am sure that you are eager to move from the hotel, and if we get the paper work out of the way tonight, you can move in tomorrow.
W: Oh, that would be wonderful.
(23)
A．The woman's husband.
B．The owner of the apartment.
C．The apartment manager.
D．The tenant who occupies the apartment now.

听力原文：M Oh boy, I just made a stupid financial move. Yesterday, I joined a gym, and I just found out that the community race center has exactly the same equipment as the gym for about half the price.
W Ouch, that hurts. How big a price difference is it？
M The gym is $49 a month; the community race center is only $27. And it's a lot closer to my house.

B．Joined a gym near his work

D．Found out about a cheaper gym

听力原文：M: Have you heard that in another few years you may be able to buy a car that changes colors every day to match the outfit you are wearing？
W: Oh, please be serious! I suppose they will change shapes as well. If you want a big car to take all your friends camping, I suppose you'll just be able to snap your fingers and make it happen. Or if you want a sporty two-seater, you could just tell the car what you wanted, and it would do the rest. Is that how it will work？
M: No, I am serious. They have found a way to alter the surface of metals so that they can reflect different colors just by passing a small amount of electricity over them.
W: Oh, I see. So anything that touches the outside of the car will get a shock. That sounds lovely.
M: It's only a tiny amount of electricity. It wouldn't be enough to shock anybody.
W: Well, it sounds pretty difficult to believe.
M: Yes, it's quite amazing. The important thing you have to remember is that the color of an object is really just an illusion created by the way light bounces off its surface. Engineers have been able to produce a car that changes colors at the touch of a button by slightly rearranging the position of the particles on the surface of the metal.
W: It sounds so amazing. But I guess it could be possible.
M: It is possible today. The only problem is that it is very expensive. To produce a car with a surface that changed colors would cost almost twice as much as what a regular car costs. For that much money you could just by the car and have it repainted twenty times, so it's not very practical yet.
W: Yes, but in other ways it could be more practical. If you took your car to be painted twenty times, it would use quite a bit of polluting chemicals, and it would take a long time.
M: You're right there, but how many people really get their car repainted that many time？
W: Hmm, I suppose you're right, but I sure would love to have my car match my outfit every day.
(26)
A．She is impressed.
B．She is doubtful.
C．She is shocked.
D．She is surprised.
