W: I heard that, Aaron, but it's not surprising actually, because we haven't had as much rain as normal this year.
M: Much more distressing, experts say, is that a drought has set in remarkably early and shows no sign of letting up soon ... The ground is still parched from last year's drought -- crops, plants and trees are being crippled at their most vulnerable time.

In fact, this morning I happened to hear on the radio that the reservoir had dipped below half its capacity this month and the volume of water entering the reservoir is the smallest in fifty years.

听力原文：An almost 100-year-old English textbook might be the earliest such book published
听力原文： An almost 100-year-old English textbook might be the earliest such book published in China, its owner, Mr. Wang, told reporters last week in Beijing.
The 440-page textbook, entitled "English with Chinese Phonetics", was possibly published in 1904 or before, predating another early textbook, "English Words at Entrance Level", which was thought to be the earliest English textbook in China.
Though almost a century old, with pages yellow with age, the various letter types listed in the book are still clearly recognizable, displaying the high standard of print quality at that time. As the title of the book suggests, the textbook uses Chinese characters to provide phonetic equivalent for English words, thus constituting a major drawback of this early school tutorial work, since there was no such a thing as standardized Mandarin at that time, the phonetics were arranged in line with the so-called "orthodox" Cantonese, resulting in misleading and what today seems a quite funny effect. Nevertheless, the book has been hailed as a "revolutionary guidebook inventing creative study methods for those ambitious people doing foreign businesses".
The book was acquired by its present owner, Mr. Wang, quite by chance. In 1992, when he was living in Papua New Guinea, an old local Chinese, originally from Guangdong Province presented him the book as a gift.
(33)
A．In 1904.
B．In 1905.
C．In 1914.
D．In 1915.

听力原文： It would seem that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective account of travels which the author has actually made himself. If they are informative and have a good index then they can be useful to you when you are planning your travels. The second kind are those books whose purpose is to give a purely objective description of things to be done and seen. If a well-read, cultured person has written such a book then it is even more useful. It can be classified as a selective guide book. The third kind are those books which are called "a guide" to some place or another. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an interpretation. Like the first kind they can be inspiring and entertaining. But their primary function is to assist the reader who wishes to plan in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel book you choose you must make sure that it does not describe everything as "marvelous'', "fabulous" or "magical". You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in this century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to find.
How many kinds of travel books are mentioned in the passage？
A．Two.
B．Three.
C．Four.
D．Five.

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.

B．She is doubtful.
