• 1 Owing to the widespread expansion of casinos, the cost of pathological and problem gambling has soared to nearly half the annual cost of drug abuse in the United States, a UI expert says in a new book.

  2 The social costs of gambling, such as increased crime, lost work time, bankruptcies and financial hardships faced by the families of gambling addicts, have reached epidemic proportions, costing the economy as much as $54 billion annually, Earl L. Grinols, an Illinois economist, has written in "Gambling in America: Costs and Benefits," published this month by Cambridge University Press. 3 This compares with the estimated annual $110 billion cost of drug abuse, according to the U.S. General Accounting Office. 4 Casino gambling causes up to $289 in social costs for every $46 of economic benefit, according to Grinols: "In 2003 dollars, the cost to society of an additional pathological gambler is $10,330 based on studies performed in the mid-1990s, whereas the cost to society of an additional problem gambler is $2,945", he wrote. Accounting for the cost of raising tax dollars to cover some of these costs raises the totals to $11,304 and $3,222, respectively. 5 A former senior economic adviser to President Ronald Reagan, Grinols wrote the book because there is "a great unfulfilled need for an economist to study the costs and benefits of casinos in society and to identify which side of the ledger [is] predominant." 6 He pointed out that nearly all research on gambling consists of industry-sponsored studies ballyhooing new jobs and increased taxes. 7 His book includes economic analyses that put price tags on the inflows and outflows of gambling money. 8 On the positive side of the ledger, a casino may increase local employment and raise state and local tax revenues. In Las Vegas and Atlantic City, N.J. , where casinos primarily serve tourists, gambling creates regional jobs and an inflow of revenues. 9 However, in the Midwest and South, where casinos primarily attract a local clientele, gambling causes a net loss to the community. Not only do out-of-state casino operators remove gambling dollars from the local economy, but local employers and taxpayers must foot the bill of increased crime, personal bankruptcy, domestic violence, lost workdays, child abuse and other social costs from problem gamblers. Which of the following is NOT true of Earl L. Grinols？ A．He is an American economist. B．He works in a university. C．He is a senior economic presidential adviser. D．He has just published a new book.

• 听力原文：M: I was just reading this article about the wonders of the ancient world. A lot of them were buildings. I was thinking, what would your wonders of the modern would be？ Not necessarily buildings, but things that have changed our way of life.

  W: For me, well, I was thinking the cell phone is the most wonderful thing. M: Really？ W: Yeah, (19) I even couldn't live without mine. It's so convenient! I can call my friends anytime and they can always call me. Or if I'm in trouble I can call for help... M: You mean like calling your parents？ W: Yeah, like parents, and if I'm running late, I'm able to call a friend if I'm, like, on the bus or something. M: (20) But the problem with cell phones is that people use them too much for every little thing. It's practically glued to their ears. W: Yeah, and I hate it when people shout into them in a public place and everyone else has to listen to the conversation, especially in restaurants. M: Well, good manners aren't a wonder of our world! You know, I think the most amazing wonder is e-mail. It has changed the world, and it has totally transformed my business. Everybody at work is always on the computer, responding to e-mails, sending e-mails... That's where most of our business is done now, through e-mail. You are sending reports, getting information. But the bad part is that you are glued to the computer and people expect things to be done right away. W: Yeah, people are shocked if you go through a day without checking your e-mail. And when you go on vacation and then you come back, maybe there are 200 e-mails waiting for you — all of them urgent. M: I guess it is like any other tool or device. (21) If it's used correctly, it's very useful. 19．Wily does the woman consider the cell phone one of the wonders of the modem world？ 20.What is the problem with cell phones according to the man？ 21.How does the man feel about e-mail？ (20) A．It is used too much.

• 听力原文：W: Dr. Steven, I am thinking about changing my major before the end of the freshman year..

  M: What are you studying now？ W: l am taking three general courses and American history and American literature this semester. Last semester I took four requirements and freshman French. M: I believe it's not too late to change your major because you've mainly taken general requirements which all freshmen have to take. Also we have twelve electives so the two literature courses will be included in them, so you can change your major without losing any credit hours. W: I am very happy to know I am still able to change my major. I am interested in writing newspaper articles, and after finishing my degree I would like to work for some newspaper firm. M: Oh, I think you will be a good writer. W: Dr. Steven, when do students start practical training？ M: They don't begin practical training in reporting until the sophomore year. Journalism normally is taken in the freshman year as a general background course. W: I see. I will take the course next semester. Thank you, very much for your help. M: You're welcome. I look forward to seeing you in my department. How many courses did the woman take last semester？ A．3. B．4. C．5. D．6.
