听力原文： Man: My secretary tells me that you'd like to know something about mechanical engineering. What I can do is give you some idea of the variety of specialties within the field.
Woman: I'd appreciate that very much.
Man: One of the oldest mechanical engineering areas is machine design. First, we need to know the purpose, of a particular machine, whether it's a crane or a tool or a steam engine. Then, if we know the loads that this machine will carry, we can make the most efficient use of the materials we have.
Woman: I see. Is heating included in this field？
Man: Oh, yes. Heating, refrigeration, and air conditioning rely quite a lot on thermodynamics and theories of heat transfer. The goal is to make the most efficient use of power. This area can be quite involved with mathematics.
Woman: I've heard of the Carnot cycle. Does this concern the mechanical engineer？
Man: Very much so. The whole field of internal combustion engines is based on the principles set out by Carnot. The mechanical engineer deals with two and four-cycle engines, gasoline and diesel engines, gas turbines, and the like.
Woman: Isn't that part of automotive engineering？
Man: Yes. This is one of our largest industries.
Woman: What about the aircraft industry？
Man: Of course. Aeronautical engineering became a very large field with the widespread use of airplanes. Now, with space travel, it promises to grow even larger.

听力原文： There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.
In the ancient world, as today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with some other. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.
What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all part of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan, and even among the Arctic peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.

City traffic jam—one of the least wanted effects of the motor vehicle—is something with which we're all familiar and for which most of us have an answer. But which solution is best？
Some people suggest for better roads, others for cars to be banned (禁止) from city centers and yet others say better public transport would attract drivers from their lonely and boring journeys.
But the important question is what natural power creates a big city center. We are, after all, in an age of electronic communication; our big shopping areas have moved out of city centers, and our living areas moved out of them long ago.
Yet some force causes offices and service industries related to them to gather in London or New York or Tokyo. This suggests that far from the problems of a crowded environment forcing companies and people to move out, there is a critical (重大的) size beyond which more companies are attracted to move in. Nobody seems to know why, yet the answer is important to the way traffic jam is dealt with.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as the cause of the traffic problem？
A．The poor public transport.
B．The over-concentration of shopping centers.
C．The great number of cars in the city centers.
D．The bad road conditions.
